Mrs. Chen said anxiously: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is bewildered by Concubine Xian. We can't even listen to what we say. Only you can persuade the Emperor. I know it will make things difficult for you, but I still hope that your Majesty will put the overall situation first!"
Mrs. Jin sobbed: "My concubine's situation is getting worse and worse these days. I don't know if I can survive until the child is born. If... if there is anything wrong with this child, I don't want to live anymore."
Mingyu scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? The baby will be born next month. Nothing will happen. Don't always say such unlucky words."
"It's not that I want to say it, but I'm afraid in my heart." Jin choked and said: "That child is not even three months old, and there are so many things happening in and outside the palace. If she were to give birth to her, I'm afraid...
It will be turned upside down, and by then it will be too late to say anything."
"But they are the emperor's flesh and blood after all. You want me to persuade the emperor..." Mingyu sighed and said, "I'm afraid the emperor will not agree."
Jin quickly said: "Yes, as long as the empress is willing to speak, the emperor will definitely agree." Seeing that Mingyu didn't speak, she added: "This is not only related to the concubines, but also the child in the empress's womb."
Jin's last words made Mingyu's heart skip a beat. She subconsciously touched her bulging belly. The child... her child, she has already lost Yonglian. She can't lose this child again, no!
Seeing her reaction, Mrs. Jin raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and then said: "Empress, you..."
Mingyu raised his hand and said: "Okay, I know this matter well, you can go back first."
Mrs. Lu said reluctantly: "My dear, that disaster star cannot be born. You must try to persuade the emperor so that he will not be deceived by Concubine Xian again."
Mingyu said coldly: "Didn't you hear what I just said? Kneel down!"
Seeing that Mingyu's face dropped, Mrs. Lu was unwilling to do so, but she did not dare to be too presumptuous. She knelt down and left with Mrs. Jin. After leaving Kunning Palace, she said sadly: "Tell me, tell me,
If the queen still refuses to persuade the emperor this time, what should we do?"
"What can we do? Can we still force the queen to go?" Mrs. Chen sighed and said, "Oh, a disaster star appears out of nowhere. I don't know what else will happen."
Mrs. Lu said angrily: "I don't know this, but I know that as long as this disaster star is here, we will never have peace."
Jin said: "It's useless to talk more. It's very late. Go back quickly."
Mrs. Lu glanced at her and said, "Jin Bin was worried just now, wasn't she? Why did she not care anymore in the blink of an eye?"
"It's not that I don't care, but as Concubine Wan said, it's up to the Queen to decide whether to go or not. We can't force her. As for the words... we've said everything we can say." Jin's expression
He stroked his abdomen sadly and said: "I asked my family to ask for some peace charms before, hoping to keep this child safe and sound and not be harmed by the disaster star."
Hearing what she said, Mrs. Chen quickly said: "Yes, I will ask my family to ask for some peace charms tomorrow. I hope they can be useful. Concubine Qing, you are more affected by evil spirits than I am.
You'd better ask for it too."
After they left, Mingyu stayed up all night. From time to time, she thought about the words of Jin Bin and the others, and about the disaster star. She didn't fall asleep until dawn, but the next moment, she was awakened by a nightmare.
I dreamed that the child I finally gave birth to died because of the birth of Nala Xianyue's child. Immediately afterwards, more children died in a horrible way. When I woke up screaming, I had cold sweat all over my head.
Ji Yu heard her exclamation, and walked in quickly with the palace servants, squatted in front of the bed and said: "Master, what's wrong with you, are you having a nightmare?"
Mingyu clutched the brocade quilt tightly and said in shock: "I just dreamed about that disaster star. It was so scary, so scary!"
Ji You wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and said, "It's just a nightmare. Master, don't worry so much."
Mingyu shook his head and said, "No, it's not a nightmare. If Nala Xianyue's child is born, all of this might become a reality."
Ji You said softly: "So, master is going to tell the emperor?"
Mingyu stroked his forehead and said: "I don't know that the emperor is so fond of Nala Xianyue, and for her sake, he forbids the palace from talking about this matter. I'm afraid he won't listen to my advice, but if he doesn't go,
What if..." She shook her head and said, "I can't bear this kind of eventuality."
Ji You nodded and said: "I know that the master is worried about my little brother."
Mingyu looked down at her belly, which was nearly nine months old, and murmured: "I have already lost a Yonglian. I must not lose this child again, let alone watch him being harmed." At this point,
Mingyu took a deep breath and made up his mind, "Let me change my clothes. After breakfast, we will go to the Nourishing Heart Hall."
"Master has decided?" Faced with Ji You's probing words, Mingyu took a deep breath and said, "Yes, sooner or later someone will tell the emperor about this matter. As the queen, I should come forward."
Ji You nodded silently. After serving Mingyu for breakfast, he asked the palace servants to prepare a carriage and send it to the Yangxin Hall. When he got there, the morning court had not yet ended. Mingyu went to the imperial tea room to see Wei Jingxuan. She was in
Although it was a bit hard over there, it was generally fine.
, when mentioning the disaster star, she said: "I have heard a little bit about it, but I didn't expect that the matter has become so big." After that, she said with concern: "Master, go and tell me now, in case you offend the emperor.
If you’re not happy, what should you do?”
Mingyu sighed: "Even if the emperor is unhappy, I have to go. I can't just let a disaster star come to the world and harm so many people, right? Moreover, I can't let anything happen to the child in my belly."
Wei Jingxuan shook her head and said: "It's really difficult for me to be my master." At this point, she raised her eyebrows and said: "By the way, I saw Master Ji entering and exiting the Yangxin Hall yesterday. Do you think it was for this reason?
"
Mingyu said in surprise: "Master Ji? You mean Ji Changming?"
"Yes, I have seen him before, and I won't admit it." Facing Wei Jingxuan's answer, Mingyu was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
At this time, Xiao Wu walked in and said: "Queen Qi, the Emperor has already gone to court."
"Okay, I'll go over right now." Mingyu patted Wei Jingxuan's hand and said, "I'll come see you again in the future. Remember, if you need anything, come to me."
"My slave, I know. You should be more careful. If...the emperor doesn't agree, just go along with it first and then persuade him slowly."
Mingyu nodded and followed Xiaowu to the Nuan Pavilion. As soon as he entered, he saw Hongli sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, looking very tired. Hearing her voice, Hongli opened his eyes and said: "Queen, come
