Chapter 212 I Promised to Marry Her
Xie Jingmo had no idea what Yun Zhao was up to.
All we know is that no matter how many imperial doctors came to check the queen's pulse, they all said that the queen was pregnant with a princess.
Xie Jingmo asked the queen, "How did you do this?" Concubine Yi was not willing to give up. She suspected that all the doctors in the palace had been bribed, so she specially found a folk doctor from outside, but the result was the same.
Everyone then believed that the queen was pregnant with a princess.
From that day on, the Queen said to Xie Jingmo: "The previous plan was a joke."
Xie Jingmo was stunned. "Why?! You can't stay in the palace, child. Not to mention that you don't have a mother, you're a prince. You're destined to die before adulthood! Don't you plan for your child's future?"
The Queen laughed, "Thank you, General, you're funny. The child in my belly is a princess. If I die in the future, the child will be taught by the Queen. How could she be bullied?"
Xie Jingmo looked shocked.
Queen's teaching?
Wasn’t the future queen already chosen as Concubine Yi?
These two people are incompatible. Can the Queen safely leave the child to Concubine Yi's care?
This sounds like a ghost story!
"Xie Jingmo, thank you for your planning during this period. If there is any need in the future, my family will naturally repay you. Please don't come to this harem in the future."
After the queen finished speaking, she walked in with her belly bulging.
Xie Jingmo really didn't understand, so he went straight to find Yun Zhao. Yun Zhao was taking Concubine Chen's pulse at the time. When he came out, he saw Xie Jingmo and looked gloomy.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Xie Jingmo stared into Yun Zhao's eyes. "What exactly are you going to do? What's your plan?"
Yun Zhao smiled softly, "Your expression now is just as panicked as when Concubine Yi came to see me this morning."
Xie Jingmo narrowed his eyes, feeling that he could not see through Yun Zhao at all. "What exactly are you going to do?"
Yun Zhao: "I didn't do anything. I was just protecting the imperial concubine's pregnancy. This is the emperor's order, and I am just following it. Xie Jingmo, this is the harem, you should respect yourself and don't come to me again in the future."
After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he went into the house.
Imperial Noble Consort Chen was eating herbal medicine. Seeing this, she asked, "Will Xie Jingmo be okay? Otherwise, I'll ask my family to find someone to transfer him away first, and then let him come back after I give birth."
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Okay." Le decided to ignore it.
Imperial Noble Consort Chen looked at Yun Zhao's indifferent expression, smiled and nodded, and asked her subordinates to do it.
"I won't go!" Xie Jingmo said righteously in the emperor's study, "There are many things to do in the harem, I have to stay!"
The emperor was speechless. "This is my harem. What are you doing here?! Can you help me have children or something?! Go to Jiangnan and check on the floods right now!"
Xie Jingmo stiffened his neck, but ultimately he was unable to resist the imperial order.
This was the first time Xie Jingmo regretted not fighting for this position.
When Xie Jingmo left, he made a condition to the emperor: he could leave, but Mu Chengyan had to leave as well.
The emperor agreed with a headache.
When Mu Chengyan left, he went to see Yun Zhao.
"Can you do it yourself?" Mu Chengyan asked with a smile.
The two of them sat on the roof, the sky full of stars. Yun Zhao said, "Yes."
After saying that, Yun Zhao looked at Mu Chengyan and smiled again, "Do you know what I'm going to do?"
Mucheng Yan also laughed.
Yun Zhao then asked, "Did you arrange for the quack doctor that Concubine Yi consulted earlier?"
Mu Chengyan: "I thought it would be exposed, so I made arrangements in advance. I didn't expect that the doctor would come out and tell me that the queen was indeed carrying a princess. I was stunned for a moment. I thought you used some other method to confuse everyone."
Yun Zhao smiled and did not deny it.
Mu Chengyan said again: "The Imperial Noble Consort Chen is pregnant with a princess, this is something only you know, and the Queen is now pregnant with a prince, now this is also something only you know. The Queen agreed to give the throne to the Imperial Noble Consort Chen and help her become the new Queen, on the condition that the two families' children are exchanged.
At this point, on the surface, Imperial Noble Consort Chen had the prince, and then the Empress died, and before her death, she entrusted the princess to Imperial Noble Consort Chen for upbringing. The princess thus had the protection of her biological mother, and everything was secure. They had both achieved their respective goals.
Yun Zhao was not surprised that Mu Chengyan could see through her game.
She smiled softly, "Really? Then what's my purpose?"
Mu Chengyan: "Let Concubine Yi's plan fail. If Concubine Yi fails to become the queen, you can gradually bring her down in the future."
"What you want is not the death of Concubine Yi, but a life worse than death."
Yun Zhao laughed when he heard this, "Prince Regent, you know too much."
Mu Chengyan smiled, looked at Yun Zhao with admiration, and asked, "Do you need help?"
Yun Zhao shook his head. "A mother is strong. I don't need to put in too much effort on this matter. The Empress and the Imperial Noble Consort will naturally make sure that nothing goes wrong."
Mu Chengyan nodded.
She also understood that even if Yun Zhao had messed up the sky at this moment, these two women who stood at the pinnacle of imperial power in the harem would help her mend the sky.
Mu Chengyan smiled and handed Yun Zhao a glass of wine. "Then I will stay in the flood-stricken area of Jiangnan, waiting to hear good news from Yun Zhao."
Yun Zhao smiled.
Before Mu Chengyan left, he asked Yun Zhao, "Three years is too long. How about shortening it? I miss Li Ziguai's lotus seeds."
Yun Zhao looked at Mu Chengyan and smiled, "Wait for you to come back. Once the matter is settled, we will go back."
Mu Chengyan grinned, "Okay!"
The next day.
Mu Chengyan walked away with a smile on his face.
Xie Jingmo was worried. He looked at Mu Chengyan's smiling face and was very confused. "Did Yun Zhao say something to you? How can you still laugh? This harem is going to be in chaos!"
Mu Chengyan ignored him and with a bang, the horse galloped away for a long distance!
Xie Jingmo was riding a horse and standing at the foot of the wall, looking worried.
suddenly.
A beautiful figure flashed around the corner.
Xie Jingmo's eyes lit up, and he dismounted. "Yun——"
"Lin Ruyu?"
Lin Ruyu saw the disappointment on Xie Jingmo's face at a glance. She snorted in her heart but smiled on her face.
"Jing Mo, I know you are leaving today, so I came to see you off."
Xie Jingmo subconsciously glanced behind Lin Ruyu.
There was nothing behind Lin Ruyu.
Lin Ruyu: “…”
Lin Ruyu: "Jingmo, this is the purse I made myself. It contains the blessings of peace that I prayed for at the temple. I hope you have a safe and smooth journey."
Xie Jingmo looked at Lin Ruyu and felt guilty towards her.
"Like jade..."
"Jing Mo, I know that Yun Zhao has been with you for seven years. You are a man who values friendship and loyalty, so it is naturally difficult for you to give him up. I understand.
But I have always admired you, I never ask for anything in return, and I will always wait for you to come back, Jing Mo, you know, I only have you in my eyes and heart!"
Lin Ruyu bid farewell reluctantly.
Lin Ruyu left only after Xie Jingmo's back disappeared from the end of the road.
Xie Jingmo's face was full of bitterness, and he felt that he had let Lin Ruyu down.
Deputy General Gao went along this time. Seeing Xie Jingmo's reluctant look, he sneered, "General, your life has been ruined by Lin Ruyu's hands."
Xie Jingmo pursed his lips and said, "I am sorry for her in this matter. Don't say that to her. I promised to marry her, but now I still can't. It's my problem. I owe her."
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Gao closed his eyes helplessly and said, "Then you two should just be together."
