Chapter 086 Chapter 86
[Chapter 86]
Ruan Yun's eyes were filled with tears. When she shook her head, the earrings on her earlobes shook violently. "I am fine. But Sister Ji fell down in order to prevent the little princess from falling. She might be hurt somewhere."
The worry in her almond eyes was real. Now that the Emperor was here, she had to let him know what Concubine Ji had done.
Yan Shiyu was about to talk to Concubine Ji when he heard Shen Chongyi crying louder from behind, "Xin'er, Xin'er, what's wrong with you?"
Wan Mo supported the queen, and seeing the heartbroken Shen Chongyi in front of her, she reminded her, "Queen, be careful with the dragon in your belly!"
Shen Chongyi used a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face. Now that she was almost four months pregnant, squatting down was not too difficult for her.
But Ruan Yun clearly saw that when the little princess saw Shen Chongyi, there was a lot of fear and terror on her face. She even avoided Shen Chongyi's hand and was unwilling to let Shen Chongyi hold her.
"I'm fine. Your Majesty, please go and see the little princess." Concubine Ji avoided the emperor's hand with a pale face, not wanting to let the filth on her body stain the emperor's body.
Yan Shiyu had no choice but to frown and take his hand back, then turned around and looked at Shen Chongyi.
At this moment, Shen Chongyi's hands were frozen in place. She raised her head slightly and saw that the emperor had turned around. She walked forward and directly hugged the little princess.
The little princess burst into tears and twisted her body to find the wet nurse behind her, "No, no, Xin'er doesn't want you, no."
Shen Chongyi was heartbroken, her hands were shaking slightly, "Xin'er, it's my mother, don't you recognize my mother?"
Shen Chongyi reached his hand forward a little further. He didn't dare to look at the emperor's expression. There was only one thought in his mind.
But the little princess was not an object that could be manipulated by Shen Chongyi. When she realized that Shen Chongyi wanted to reach out to her again, she panicked and wanted to run into the rockery.
Yan Shiyu strode over, held the little princess in his arms, and spoke softly, touching the little princess's head, saying, "Don't be afraid, Xin'er, it's your father."
Then, without paying any attention to anything else, he picked up the little princess and let her lean in his arms.
Shen Chongyi placed one hand on her lower abdomen and the other on Wanmo's hand, and walked quickly towards the emperor.
Seeing the little princess crying in the emperor's arms, Shen Chongyi tentatively put her hand on the little princess's face and tried to calm her heart, "Xin'er, it's mother, Xin'er was frightened just now."
When the little princess saw Shen Chongyi approaching, she burst into tears and hugged Yan Shiyu's neck, unwilling to let go, sobbing and saying, "I want my father, Xin'er wants my father."
Shen Chongyi's tears fell for no reason, and she took another step forward. Yan Shiyu's cold eyes fell on Shen Chongyi's voice.
Then, Yan Shiyu's words were like a knife, stabbing Shen Chongyi, "She is afraid of you? Have you never realized it?"
Shen Chongyi covered her lips with a handkerchief, her entire face filled with panic.
The emperor's face at this moment overlapped with his appearance in the Purple Palace. Shen Chongyi immediately wanted to step forward and hold the little princess in her arms, "No... Xin'er is my child, how could she..."
However, Yan Shiyu had already handed the little princess to Wei Maoyuan, glanced at the wet nurses standing beside him, and turned the white jade ring on his hand, "Send the little princess to Fengyi Palace."
Wei Maoyuan responded and came down. Shen Chongyi didn't know what she had done to make the little princess so scared.
Today, after the emperor left Chengtian Gate, he went directly to Shen Chongyi's palace, saying that he came to see Shen Chongyi. As soon as Shen Chongyi returned to the palace, she ordered the wet nurse to bring the little princess to the main hall.
But no matter how long they waited, the little princess did not show up. The palace maid who had been serving the little princess came in and said that the little princess had run away crying.
When Shen Chongyi heard this, she could not sit still and hurried out. The whole scene was seen by the emperor.
Wei Maoyuan did not dare to stay any longer and asked the wet nurse to carry the little princess to Fengyi Palace.
Shen Chongyi panicked for a moment. She didn't care that she was pregnant. She knelt in front of Yan Shiyu and said, "Your Majesty... please don't take Xin'er away. Xin'er... Xin'er is my child. She is just temporarily..."
Yan Shiyu looked at Shen Chongyi with dull eyes, "Even if she is, what did you do?"
Shen Chongyi shook her head repeatedly. Wanmo was so panicked that she supported Shen Chongyi and said, "My queen, you are pregnant with the heir. Please don't be like this."
Shen Chongyi couldn't care less about the others now. Tears were falling down without cost. "Your Majesty, please let Xin'er stay by my side because I am pregnant with a dragon. Your Majesty, I beg you."
Wan Mo's words not only reminded Shen Chongyi, but also Yan Shiyu.
Yan Shiyu's throat rolled, and he put his hand in front of Shen Chongyi, "Stand up."
However, Shen Chongyi shook her head desperately, "No... If I get up, I will never see Xin'er again."
Yan Shiyu's eyes became colder and colder, and finally he only said, "It's up to you."
As he said this, he strode towards Ruan Yun. The imperial physician had already arrived in Liangting and was examining the injuries on Concubine Ji's body. The female doctor who had hurried over was also waiting on the side, asking about Concubine Ji's injuries from time to time.
Ruan Jun looked at Shen Chongyi who was kneeling there, and frowned slightly, "Sister Shen, kneeling like this..."
Yan Shiyu's voice darkened, "Don't worry about her."
However, Ruan Yun grabbed Yan Shiyu's sleeve, causing him to stop.
"The Empress Dowager returned to the palace today. Although she did not ask about Shen Chongyi, she certainly did not want anything to happen in the palace." Ruan Yun said tentatively: "If the Emperor takes me away like this, and if Shen Chongyi really gets into trouble, the Empress Dowager will also be sad for her unborn grandson."
After saying this, Ruan Yun glanced at the emperor's expression from time to time.
Seeing the hint of suspicion that could not be easily seen on the emperor's stern face, Ruan Jun curled her lips and let out a long sigh.
Yan Shiyu patted the back of her hand and walked towards Shen Chongyi again.
When Shen Chongyi saw the emperor coming back, her face was full of joy. She couldn't help but raise her head and look at the emperor.
Yan Shiyu just looked down at Shen Chongyi and said, "I will only say everything once. It's up to you to decide whether to listen or not."
Shen Chongyi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. "Xin'er... Your Majesty, I really can't lose Xin'er!"
His hand tightly grasped the hem of Yan Shiyu's dragon robe, but Yan Shiyu just stared at Shen Chongyi's actions with an indifferent expression.
Ruthlessly leaving Shen Chongyi's side, Yan Shiyu said in a deep voice: "Wei Maoyuan."
Seeing the emperor's headache, Xiao Muzi couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, the master has gone to send the little princess to the queen's palace."
Yan Shiyu pressed his forehead and said, "Let's go to Fengyi Palace."
Then he turned his gaze to Ruan Yun and said, "You should go too."
However, Ruan Yun subconsciously looked at Jipin, her eyelashes blinking fiercely, "Sister Jipin was injured while saving the little princess. I... want to accompany Jipin."
Yan Shiyu's eyes fell on Ruan Yun like a sharp knife, "You seem to be free today."
Ruan Yun's breathing was slightly stagnant, and she moved some distance from the emperor. "Your Majesty is right. I still feel confused. I just wanted to come to Yu Garden for a walk, but I ran into this. If I had known that this would happen, I would have suffocated to death in the palace and would not have come."
After saying this, Ruan Yunfu walked straight towards the pavilion, no longer caring about the emperor's reaction.
Little Mu Zi was frightened by Shen Chongyi's actions and now he didn't dare to look at the emperor's expression. Now that his master was not around, little Mu Zi could understand how fearful his master lived every day.
"She got so angry just because I said that casually?"
Little Muzi echoed the emperor's words and said, "Ying Chongrong...is much more arrogant than when she first entered the palace."
Just as he finished speaking, he was kicked hard on the buttocks by the emperor. Little Muzi reacted instantly and said something he shouldn't have said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I didn't mean it."
Yan Shiyu frowned, "Get out!"
Little Muzi rolled and crawled away. Shen Chongyi, who was behind him, somehow figured it out. With the help of Wanmo, she walked to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, can I... see the little princess again?"
Yan Shiyu nodded, and his dark eyes fell back on the woman in the pavilion. Seeing that her brows were furrowed and her face was also worried, he said, "After the imperial physician examines Concubine Ji, ask him to report back to Fengyi Palace."
This time little Muzi became smart and knew what to do and what not to do.
After arriving at the pavilion and giving instructions, he quickly caught up with the imperial procession and followed the emperor.
Shen Chongyi came to her senses at this moment. Now that she was of dragon descent, Yan Shiyu naturally would not say anything more and let her follow him to the throne.
In the pavilion.
The imperial physician looked at the wound on Jipin's hand, and then touched it through the handkerchief, and said, "Your hand is a little sprained. You must take good care of it in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to treat if there is any internal damage in the future."
Concubine Ji smiled and said, "There is Imperial Physician Lao."
After the imperial physician and the female physician left, Ruan Yun sat in front of Concubine Ji with a sullen expression.
When Concubine Ji saw Ruan Yun's appearance, she wanted to touch the back of her hand, but Ruan Yun avoided her. Concubine Ji lowered her head and said, "Sister Ying, are you blaming me?"
Ruan Jun snorted coldly, "How dare I? You are so determined and have already planned everything this morning. How dare I blame you?"
"Before you do anything, you must always tell me what to do if something unexpected happens to you."
The way Concubine Ji caught the little princess with her body today was really scary, and even she was frightened, but Concubine Ji was still able to laugh.
Jipin placed her hand on the back of Ruan Yun's hand and said, "Fortunately, it worked, didn't it?"
Ruan Yun finally did not shake off Ji Bin's hand. Seeing a large swelling on her wrist, Yi Cui, who was beside her, was about to burst into tears while applying medicine on her. However, Ji Bin acted as if nothing had happened. Ruan Yun felt sorry for her:
"What good is there in hurting yourself?"
At this time, Jipin's lips twitched for a long time before she revealed a bitter smile:
"She used the little princess and caused me to lose my child. Now, she owes me money and should pay it back."
Ruan Yun's eyes fell on Jipin's face, and she turned her head to look outside the pavilion:
"From now on, no matter what you want to do, tell me in advance."
Jipin nodded, "Don't worry, Sister Ying, it will only happen this once, and it will only happen this once."
…
Fengyi Palace
The queen personally held the crying little princess in her arms and coaxed her softly, "Xin'er, do you still remember your mother?"
The little princess cried and shook her head, "Xin'er wants father."
Ran Xia couldn't help but change her expression. No matter what, the Empress was still the little princess's mother. But she was raised by Shen Chongyi, and she really didn't know what Shen Chongyi had taught the little princess.
The queen was in deep thought for a moment, and just as the voice from outside was heard, the queen saw the emperor walk in with a sullen expression.
It was inconvenient for the empress to salute the emperor while holding the little princess. As soon as she stood up, Yan Shiyu held her down and said, "Sit down."
As soon as the little princess saw her father, she stretched out her hands and asked him to hold her.
The queen let the palace maid put on the armor for her and said with a smile: "Xin'er likes the emperor very much. I tried to coax her just now, but it didn't work."
Without asking the emperor why he suddenly wanted to send the little princess to her place, the queen had already guessed the general idea just by looking at Shen Chongyi who was standing nervously at the door.
"Give Shen Chongyi a seat."
Shen Chongyi was shaken by Wanmo for a moment, then she came to her senses and stepped forward to bow and express her gratitude.
The queen saw Shen Chongyi's bad complexion and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? You look so bad, why don't we ask an imperial physician to take a look?"
Shen Chongyi placed her hand on her belly, as if that would make her feel more at ease. "I'm fine, but I'm a little... worried about the little princess."
As soon as the little princess saw Shen Chongyi's face, she couldn't help but want to avoid her.
Tears fell from Shen Chongyi's eyes. Seeing this, the Queen couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong? When I was holding Xin'er just now, she didn't act like this."
