Before he could finish speaking, Mrs. Shumulu suddenly lifted the brocade quilt and struggled to get out of bed. Ru Liu quickly supported her and said, "Madam, what do you want to do?"
Shu Mulu ignored her and just insisted on getting off the ground. However, she had just given birth and was very weak. She could not stand firmly and fell to the ground as soon as her feet touched the ground. Upon seeing this, Yinzhen quickly picked her up and put her on the bed.
"What are you doing on the ground? Just lie down quickly."
Shu Mulu held Yinzhen's hand hard and cried bitterly, "Since I found out that I was pregnant with a dragon fetus, I wanted to continue the bloodline for the emperor and give birth to an elder brother. It was not easy for me to be pregnant for five months, but suddenly...
The son is gone, and I know that I am not blessed enough to be with Concubine Xi.
Even though they are on a par with each other, the child I am pregnant with is definitely the emperor's descendant, a son of a dragon and a phoenix grandson. But now I have been killed by Concubine Xi. I can go to Yong'an Temple to become a monk, or even die, just to ask for the emperor's help.
To give justice to the child, don't let him die in an unknown way."
Yinzhen's eyes flashed slightly and he comforted: "I didn't say I wanted you to become a monk, let alone die. Don't think too much about it. On the contrary, you have just had a miscarriage, so you shouldn't be too excited. These things are still waiting for you.
Let’s talk about it later.”
How could Mrs. Shumulu not hear that Yinzhen deliberately avoided this question? Unable to get off the ground, she knelt on the bed and kowtowed. While kowtowing, she sobbed: "No, I am fine now."
"Don't be like this!" Yinzhen was upset by her knock, grabbed her shoulders and said: "I know what you mean, do you think it was Concubine Xi who caused you to lose your child, right?"
Seeing that Shu Mulu didn't speak, Yinzhen knew that she had acquiesced, so he took a deep breath and said: "But don't think about it. If you hadn't listened to the two palace maids and ran to Concubine Xi to tell her, she would have known about Hongli."
If she is no longer here, how could she cause you to fall out of excitement?"
Unexpectedly, the fourth elder brother is really dead! This thought flashed through Shu Mulu's mind quickly, and she cried on her face: "I told her these things because I cared about Concubine Xi and the fourth elder brother. If the emperor feels that it is
My concubine is wrong. How can I punish my concubine?
I didn’t even complain, but the child was innocent. He was killed without even opening his eyes to look at the world. Your Majesty, please tell me, how should I settle this account? After my death, I
, how to see this child who was killed at a young age?"
Yinzhen sighed heavily and said, "Concubine Xi didn't mean it."
"Whether she did it intentionally or not, she was the one who harmed my child. My child cannot die in vain like this!" Speaking later, Mrs. Shumulus shouted excitedly: "I know that Concubine Xi is the one who is dear to the emperor's heart.
But this justice, I must get it back for the child who died in vain!"
Mrs. Shumulu knew in her heart that the loss of her child meant that her greatest talisman had been lost. She might soon be sent to Yong'an Temple, and she would have no chance to enter the palace in the future, let alone take revenge on Niu Hulu.
.This is her last chance. Even if she kills Niu Hulu, it will never make her life easier!
"Jiahui, can you calm down and listen to me?" Yinzhen took Shu Mulu's hands and said, "I never said I wouldn't give you justice, but this incident was indeed an accident. Concubine Xi did not mean to harm you.
in the belly
Child, besides, she also lost her own child, Hongli died." When saying this, Yinzhen's voice was extremely low, "But she is worse than you, because she was not only pregnant for ten months, but also raised ten children.
Six years."
Shu Mulu sobbed: "I am very sad when the fourth elder brother dies, but is it because of this that my concubine's children have to be buried with him? Your Majesty, this is unfair. My concubine did not kill the fourth elder brother. Is there any reason for this?"
Let my concubine’s children be buried with you?”
Yinzhen corrected: "It's not a burial. It's an accident that no one wants to see. Concubine Xi doesn't want it!"
Shu Mulu covered her ears and said loudly: "I don't want to listen. I only know that it was Concubine Xi who killed the child. It was she who killed her!"
"Jiahui!" Yinzhen grabbed her hand, but did not continue speaking immediately. Instead, he said to Imperial Physician Xu and Ruliu: "You two go down first."
When he and Shu Mulu were the only two people left in the room, Yinzhen said: "I know that you are very sad without this child, but firstly, Concubine Xi didn't mean it, and secondly, she just lost the child, I
I don’t want to be too harsh, so…”
"So my concubine's child died in vain, right?" Shumulu said sadly, then looked at her flattened belly and said with tears: "I'm sorry, child, it's my mother who is useless, I can't help you get a response.
It's fair, I'm sorry for you."
Seeing Mrs. Shu Mulu crying in sadness, Yinzhen felt uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth and decided to put his previous decision into action, "Jiahui, you are indeed wronged in this matter, but I will not let you go in vain."
If you are wronged, I will not only restore your status, but also make you my concubine; but I have one condition."
Shu Mulu's crying suddenly stopped and she looked at Yinzhen blankly. She never expected that Yinzhen would say such words. Not only did she restore her position, but she also promoted her as a concubine. Why? Why?
It's just compensation, but it doesn't really look like it. Besides, a child isn't enough for Yinzhen to make up for it to this extent.
No matter why, Yinzhen's words were enough to make her excitedly ask, "Why?"
"I want you to change your story and say that you accidentally bumped into a chair and caused a miscarriage due to fetal contractions. It has nothing to do with Concubine Xi. As compensation, I will not only not let you become a monk again, but also make you a concubine.
"
Yinzhen knew in his heart that even if he used the emperor's power to suppress Shumulu's unwillingness, the matter would still spread in the palace and even spread to the previous dynasty. By then, Ling Ruo would become the target of public criticism.
Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, some people would accuse her of murdering the emperor's heir, and even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she would never be able to clear her name.
He didn't want Ling Ruo to suffer such unfounded accusations, so he had to resolve the situation before it worsened, and letting Mr. Shumulu change his mind was undoubtedly the best solution.
As soon as Yinzhen's words came out of his mouth, Shumulu understood what was going on. He said so much and made such a heavy promise, all because he wanted to protect Niu Hulu and let her recover from this miscarriage.
He escaped safely from the incident without any repercussions.
Shumulu clasped her hands tightly and was about to go crazy. She didn't understand what was good about Niu Hulu, an old witch, and why Yinzhen wanted to protect her like this. Why?!
Only Yinzhen can answer this question, but as long as Shu Mulu still has a shred of reason, he will never ask it.
