Upon hearing their daughter's wish to marry the Regent, the two elders of the Ye family were shocked and surprised. It took them three days to digest the news, and finally they decided to respect their daughter.
They are all experienced people and can see that their daughter has changed a lot since the divorce. She no longer puts herself in a difficult position like before. She is now very capable and open-minded.
And from what his daughter said, the Regent was very kind to her and cared about her very much, and said that they would be together for the rest of their lives and he would only marry her.
This is what touched Ye's mother the most. Most men have three wives and four concubines, let alone the regent who has a noble status.
He could actually make such a promise to his daughter, and only then would Ye's mother soften her heart and agree.
Ye Xingchen was deeply moved. She didn't know how to start the conversation, but she didn't expect that her parents had already prepared something for her.
"Thank you, Dad and Mom." Ye Xingchen reached out and hugged the two elders.
Ye's mother was extremely relieved: "Silly child, don't thank your parents. We are a family. Your parents just hope that you can be happy."
"That's right, as parents, we just want our children to be well and live happily all their lives." Father Ye sighed.
"Yes, I will be happy." The family hugged each other, it was very warm.
On this side, after Prince Mo Cang Tingchen entered the palace, he went straight to the cold palace and immediately told Concubine Xuan the news that the imperial concubine had given birth to a son.
Concubine Xuan's face was extremely cold: "Damn Concubine, she actually gave birth, how could she be so lucky?"
"When I entered the palace, I met Ye Xingchen. She said that it was she who saved the imperial concubine. I didn't believe it at first, but after asking the servants in the palace, I found out that it was indeed her and the miracle doctor who saved the imperial concubine and her son." Cang Tingchen replied.
Concubine Xuan was furious: "It's Ye Xingchen again, damn it, why is she indispensable everywhere?"
"Mother, now that the imperial concubine has given birth to a son, he will definitely covet that position. What should I do?" Prince Mo asked worriedly.
"Why are you panicking? So what if he's a son? We can't say whether he can grow up or not." Concubine Xuan snorted coldly.
Prince Mo understood what he meant: "What does mother mean?"
"Since it's just been born, it must be fed with milk, so you are doing something to the wet nurse." There was a hint of viciousness in Concubine Xuan's phoenix eyes.
Prince Mo was pleasantly surprised and said: "Mother is wise. I know what to do." After saying that, he turned and left.
Concubine Xuan raised a hint of pride on her lips. So what if she gave birth to a son? She could still make sure that the imperial concubine died without a burial place.
The maid who was in charge of the cold palace brought the food. The maid who had been taught a lesson by Prince Mo no longer had the bossy attitude she had before, and her attitude was much better now.
"It's time to eat."
Concubine Xuan took a look at the food and snorted, "Send these to His Majesty on my behalf."
As she spoke, she took a stack of copied Buddhist scriptures.
The housekeeper looked embarrassed: "Is this against the rules?"
"If I regain your favor, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. Do you want to stay in the cold palace as a housekeeper for the rest of your life? Don't you want to serve in front of the emperor?" Concubine Xuan asked deliberately.
The housekeeper's face froze: "Your Majesty, those are the people who serve His Majesty?"
The Emperor's servant is the most powerful servant in the entire palace, and also the most envied one. Even the masters in the harem are not as likable as the servants in front of the Emperor, and they even have to give them some face. It can be said that they are the most powerful servants in the palace.
No matter who it is, I wouldn't be moved or want to do it.
"Can you really let this old servant serve in front of the emperor?" Nanny in the cold palace asked uncertainly.
"Of course. I am the Concubine Xuan, the one favored by His Majesty. Although I am in the cold palace now, His Majesty still has affection for me. I will definitely be able to get out. As long as you help me, I will do as you wish." Concubine Xuan said solemnly.
The cold palace nanny had naturally heard that Concubine Xuan had been the favorite in the harem for many years. After taking a look at the Buddhist scriptures, she hesitated, took a deep breath, and reached out to take them.
"Okay, I'll help you this time."
In fact, she was also helping herself.
After all, this cold palace is extremely miserable. As the saying goes, people always strive for higher places, so naturally the nanny also wants to leave.
"You will get what you wish for. As long as you follow what I teach you, His Majesty will definitely let me go." Concubine Xuan said firmly.
The housekeeper took the Buddhist scriptures and left the cold palace to find the emperor. She was nervous and worried all the way.
Finally, she arrived at the door of the imperial study.
"Who's here?" The guard at the door stopped him immediately.
The housekeeper pretended to be calm and said, "I am the housekeeper of the cold palace, Madam Zheng. Something has happened to Concubine Xuan. I want to see Your Majesty."
When the guard heard this, he hesitated for a moment but still went in to report.
The emperor, who was reviewing memorials, heard that Concubine Xuan was in trouble. His hand holding the pen paused, and a black ink spot just happened to drip onto the memorial, which was very eye-catching.
"Let her in." The emperor snorted coldly.
"yes."
The guard went out and immediately brought Nanny Zheng in.
"What happened to Concubine Xuan?" The emperor looked over.
Madam Zheng knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xuan cries every day and keeps saying that she was wrong and shouldn't have deceived Your Majesty.
The last time Prince Mo visited Concubine Xuan, she asked Prince Mo to deliver Buddhist scriptures, and then she copied the scriptures herself every day to pray for His Majesty.
The old servant took away the ink, but Concubine Xuan refused to use it and insisted on copying it with her own blood, saying that with such a sincere heart, God would surely protect His Majesty.
These are the Buddhist scriptures copied by Concubine Xuan, and I sent them to Your Majesty. Concubine Xuan lost too much blood while copying the Buddhist scriptures, and her condition is very bad.
I have advised her several times, but Concubine Xuan will not listen. If she continues like this, her health will be ruined. I dare not hide it, so I send it to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to make a decision. "
The emperor was startled: "Eunuch Wu!"
Eunuch Wu took it immediately, took a look at the red Buddhist scriptures, and could smell a strong smell of blood. Eunuch Wu's face tightened and he quickly placed it respectfully in front of His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, this does seem to be written in blood?"
The emperor frowned and looked at the thick stack of Buddhist scriptures. The handwriting on it was indeed Concubine Xuan's. He felt distressed and could not sit still.
"Nonsense! Her health is not good to begin with. How could she use so much blood to copy Buddhist scriptures?" the emperor snorted angrily.
"Your Majesty, do you want to ask an imperial physician to take a look?" Eunuch Wu asked in a low voice.
"Send the imperial physician immediately." The emperor said, and stood up: "I will go and see him myself."
Nanny Zheng was pleasantly surprised, as expected, His Majesty still cared about Concubine Xuan.
But the emperor had only taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped. Thinking of Concubine Xuan's deception of him, his face became even uglier.
"Let the judge of the Imperial Hospital go. I have official business to attend to."
When Madam Zheng saw this, she immediately pulled out the trump card that Concubine Xuan had mentioned: "Your Majesty, please go and see Concubine Xuan. If you don't go, I'm afraid you won't be able to see Concubine Xuan for the last time. When I came here just now, I found that she was coughing up blood."
After hearing this, the emperor could no longer stand and ran straight to the cold palace.
Nanny Zheng was delighted, thinking that this sentence really worked, and she immediately followed.
When the emperor rushed to the cold palace, he saw the dilapidated house. Concubine Xuan was pale, covering her mouth with a silk handkerchief and coughing, while copying Buddhist scriptures with her bitten fingers. The emperor was frozen, shocked and distressed, but more angry.
