Under Hongli's gaze, Mingyu said: "Yes, I want to talk to the emperor about something... about the disaster star that has been very popular in the capital recently."
Hongli's eyes flashed slightly, he took a sip of the ginseng soup handed to him by Sixi, and said calmly: "It's just nonsense, what does the Queen care about?"
"It's hard to believe that I know this, but there is no smoke without fire. If it is really just a nonsense rumor, how could it spread so loudly and talk about it everywhere in the palace and outside the palace? And please think about it, Your Majesty, since Concubine Xian became pregnant,
Has there ever been peace in the palace?"
Hongli looked irritated and said: "Sometimes something happens in the palace, it's nothing unusual. How can there be any disaster stars in the world."
Mingyu said patiently: "It's not uncommon for things to happen, but like now, many people are having trouble, but this is the first time. Do you still want to say that all of this is a coincidence?"
Before Mingyu could finish her words, Hongli raised his voice and said, "No matter what, the child in Concubine Xian's belly will not be a disaster."
Hearing these words, Mingyu suddenly remembered something and said doubtfully: "I remember, the last time I came to see the emperor, hoping that the emperor would invite a magician to come into the palace to exorcise evil spirits, the emperor mentioned Concubine Xian. Was it that time?
Already know?"
Hongli turned away and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
His appearance made Mingyu even more suspicious. He shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty, you know that the child in Concubine Xian's belly is a disaster star, right?"
Hongli was upset by her question and blurted out: "Yes, I knew it a long time ago. Is the queen satisfied?"
Mingyu felt a tightness in his chest and said displeasedly: "Since Your Majesty knows, why don't you tell me?"
Hongli got up and walked a few steps: "I said that it was just nonsense. I don't think it is necessary to make a special trip to tell the queen."
Mingyu endured the displeasure in his heart and said: "At this point, does the emperor still think it is nonsense?"
Hongli secretly gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, my flesh and blood cannot be a disaster star."
"What about the things in the palace? Jin Bin and the others are being tortured crazy by evil spirits, and concubines are also getting into trouble from time to time. Is all this a lie?"
"That's not what I meant, it's just..." Hongli didn't know what to say, so he sighed and said, "What does the queen want me to do?"
Mingyu stood up and said: "I know that what Concubine Xian is carrying in her belly is the emperor's flesh and blood. The emperor doesn't want to believe that he is a disaster star, but the fact is like this. I have to believe it. For the sake of the peace of the Qing Dynasty and the peace of the harem,
I have the courage to ask the emperor to remove the disaster star!"
Hongli's pupils shrank, he stood up slowly, stared into Mingyu's eyes and said word by word: "Do you even want me to remove your own flesh and blood?"
Mingyu shook his head and said, "I don't want to, but I have no other choice."
Hongli rolled his sleeves and said coldly: "No, I can't do this. Besides, there is no conclusion on this matter."
Mingyu didn't expect that Hongli would protect Nala Xianyue and her son so much, even disregarding the safety of so many people for their sake, and said in a painful voice: "Actually, the matter is already obvious. Why doesn't the emperor believe it? Also, I listen to you, concubine.
Saying that the emperor summoned Master Ji yesterday, did he also say that the child in Concubine Xian's belly was a disaster?"
Hongli said coldly: "No, he didn't say anything. Queen, don't make random guesses."
"Really? If that's the case, it's better to send word that Ji Changming is here to ask questions, so that everything becomes clear." As soon as Mingyu finished speaking, Hongli grabbed his hand, "I have already made it very clear, is it possible that the Queen even
Don’t you believe what I say?”
Meeting his gaze, Mingyu said coldly: "Yes, I don't believe the emperor's words, because the emperor is deliberately protecting Concubine Xian, and for her, he doesn't even care about the safety of so many people."
Hongli increased the strength on his hands and said in a cold voice: "You know I'm not that kind of person."
Mingyu tried hard to break free of his painful hand, and said with disappointment: "It used to be, but now...I don't know." After a pause, she added: "Does the Emperor want to see Concubine or Concubine Jin with his own eyes?
Only if something happens to them would they believe what they are seeing?!"
Hongli said sternly: "There is no disaster star at all, so how can something happen? I am very tired. Queen, please kneel down."
"Your Majesty..." As soon as Mingyu opened his mouth, Hongli scolded him: "I'm very tired after talking. If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later."
"The emperor is not tired, but he is determined to protect Concubine Xian." Mingyu's pretended calmness was completely torn apart at this moment, she said excitedly: "I know that the emperor loves Concubine Xian and doesn't want to do that, but that's
The disaster star cannot be born! Can you please listen to my concubine's advice?"
Hongli slapped the small table with force and roared: "Yu Minzhong forced me, all civil and military officials forced me, now even the queen wants to force me, right?"
Mingyu's eyes were red and she said: "I do this for the emperor's good, but unfortunately the emperor is obsessed with beauty and cannot listen to the loyal advice of my concubine and the officials."
"In the eyes of the queen, am I such a superficial person?" Hongli said loudly, holding back his anger: "If that were the case, I would not have left Concubine Xian in the cold when we were in the dormitory." He left irritably.
A few steps later: "That child is what Concubine Xian has been waiting for for more than ten years, and I owe her. I will not take away that child's life before there is a definite result!"
Mingyu heard the question in Hongli's words and asked doubtfully: "The emperor owes her? Why?"
Hongli rubbed his temples vigorously and said, "It's nothing. Anyway, we'll talk about this later. Queen, can you please leave me alone for a while?"
"Why does the emperor refuse to answer every time I ask the emperor about something? Does the emperor treat me as his wife?"
"You are the legitimate wife of my Ming matchmaker. How come I don't treat you as my wife?" Before Hongli finished speaking, Mingyu followed up and said: "In this case, why has the emperor always concealed something from my concubine? You said I owe you
Concubine Xian, but you won’t tell me what you owe me?”
Hongli was agitated by what she said, and said in a cold voice: "Do you really want to know? Okay, I'll tell you!" After a pause, he said: "Although Concubine Xian has been favored by mistakes over the years, she has been deeply loved most of the time.
She has my favor, but apart from this child, she has never been pregnant. Doesn’t the queen find it strange?"
"This..." Mingyu really hasn't thought about it, "Maybe her physique is not suitable for pregnancy. Is there something wrong?"
Hongli sneered and said: "It's not that she is not suitable for pregnancy, it's that I put musk in the fragrant powder she used. From the day I came to her to the day I named her Concubine Xian, she has never been pregnant for many years."
There has been a break.”
Mingyu never expected that there was such a concealment. She was so frightened that she covered her lips with her hands and looked at Hongli in disbelief. Musk...Hongli actually used musk...
