"The Queen Mother is still in the Buddhist hall." As soon as the palace attendant finished speaking, Hong Zhou ran towards the Buddhist hall. An'er saw him coming and quickly reached out to stop him, "Stop with the prince. When the Queen Mother is worshiping the Buddha, no one is allowed to disturb her."
Hong Zhou did not dare to break in and said eagerly: "Please report to the Queen Mother on my behalf. I have something important to report to the Queen Mother."
An'er shook her head and said: "I just said that no one can do it, including me."
Hong Zhou said again: "But I really have urgent matters to see the Queen Mother, so please be accommodating."
An'er was about to speak again when Ling Ruo's voice came from behind, "Hong Zhou, why are you so anxious to see the Ai family?"
Seeing Ling Ruo appear, Hong Zhou quickly bowed and said: "I send my regards to the Queen Mother. Good luck to the Queen Mother!"
Ling Ruo glanced at him and said, "Without courtesy, let's go to Nuange with the Ai family."
Hong Zhou agreed and patiently came to Nuan Pavilion. Before Ling Ruo could speak, he said: "Queen Mother, only you can save the royal family's flesh and blood now. Please save him."
"The blood and bones of the royal family? Are you talking about Concubine Xian's child? What's wrong?" After listening to Hong Zhou talk about the Yangxin Palace, he said solemnly: "According to what you said, the emperor believed the words of the disaster star and prepared to get rid of it.
That child?"
Hong Zhou nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, I came here specifically to ask the Queen Mother to stop it. I promise you that I will find out as soon as possible."
Ling Ruo took the ginseng tea and took a sip to calm down. Then she called Yang Hai and whispered instructions. After Yang Hai left, she said: "Hong Zhou, from the emperor's position, do this.
There’s nothing wrong with it; since you can’t be sure, it’s better to be in vain than indulge in it.”
Hong Zhou never expected that he would hear such words when he came over in such a hurry. He said in disbelief: "Queen Mother, you have been wronged before. Is it possible that at this moment, even you are unwilling to believe Concubine Xian and her son?"
Was he wronged?"
Ling Ruo shook his head and said: "Hong Zhou, do you remember that the Ai family told you that it is useless for the Ai family to believe alone. The key lies in whether the whole world believes it or not."
"I remember, so I said I would go and investigate. Please give me a little more time, the Queen Mother." After saying that, Hong Zhou knelt down and said in pain: "Please, the Queen Mother, have mercy on Concubine Xian and her son!"
"What happens to Concubine Xian and her son has nothing to do with you. You should not come here to see the Ai family, let alone kneel down to plead for them." After saying this, Ling Ruo looked serious and said: "Hong Zhou, you are truthful.
Tell Ai Jia, do you still have Concubine Xian in your heart?"
Hong Zhou's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said: "No, I just do this because I don't want the emperor to regret it in the future."
Ling Ruo placed the tea cup heavily and said sternly: "You lied. If you are purely standing as a minister, you should not jump to conclusions, because if you make a mistake, it will bring disaster to the entire Qing Dynasty!"
Hong Zhou was so confused by what she said that he didn't know what to say. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Is the Queen Mother really unwilling to save the child in Concubine Xian's belly?"
Ling Ruo sighed and said, "What do you think the Aijia asked Yang Hai to do just now, which was to go to Yanxi Palace to stop this matter? The Aijia just said those words deliberately just to give you a try. Hong Zhou, you
You know this will kill yourself."
Hong Zhou felt relieved, and then said: "I know that I am guilty, but I have no personal relationship with Concubine Xian. The reason for this is because I really do not believe that the blood of the royal family can be a disaster star."
"Sometimes, even if there is no personal relationship, it will bring trouble. You must keep in mind that you are Prince He, and she is Concubine Xian. Concubine Yu only has your son. If anything happens to you, please let Yu
What will the concubine do next?"
Hong Zhou didn't say much, he just said: "I will remember the Queen Mother's teachings."
Ling Ruo nodded and said: "You go back, the Ai family will go to Yanxi Palace to see it." After Hong Zhou responded, she warned: "In the future... don't ask about this matter again."
After Ling Ruo went to Yanxi Palace, Hong Zhou also left Cining Palace and walked towards the palace gate. Although he was worried about the safety of Xiayue's mother and son, from his position, he was not qualified to intervene in this matter. I hope...
May mother and son Yue be able to survive this calamity safely.
Shortly after Hongli left the Yangxin Hall, Xiao Quanzi quickly came to Yonghe Palace and said something in Concubine Yu's ear. The latter nodded slightly and said: "I understand."
Jin, who was lying on the bed, saw their master and servant whispering, and asked curiously: "What's wrong? Has something happened?"
Concubine Yu smiled and glanced at the baby in her arms. This was Hongli's sixth son, born prematurely to Jin. "Something happened, but it's just something Concubine Jin likes to see."
Jin frowned at first, then raised his face, and was about to speak. When he saw his grandma, he ordered her to carry her little brother down. Only after they were left with only their confidants in the palace, did they say: "Something happened in Yanxi Palace?
"
"Yes, Xiao Quanzi found out that the emperor just left the Yangxin Palace. Looking at the direction the emperor went, it should be the Yanxi Palace. Think about it, the emperor has not been to the Yanxi Palace for a few days, and now he suddenly...
..." She paused and continued: "In addition to the fact that all the officials knelt down in front of the Yangxin Hall, there will be nothing else but aborting the child."
Hearing this, Mrs. Jin sneered: "After waiting for so long, I finally waited for this day." At this point, she said bitterly: "Although we made up the disaster star thing, I really doubt her now.
That thing in the belly is an ominous obstacle, otherwise I would have given birth to a premature baby suddenly despite being so good."
Concubine Yu smiled slightly and said: "No matter what, things are going smoothly. Nala Xianyue loves the child in her belly like crazy. Once the emperor orders to kill him, he will definitely go crazy. At that time, even if we
If she doesn't do anything, she will gradually become someone the emperor despises."
Jin hesitated and said: "But if the emperor feels ashamed of her because of this incident, I'm afraid he won't be disgusted with her."
Concubine Yu shook her head and said: "The emperor is always the emperor. He can control life and death with one hand. No one has ever dared to be disrespectful to him. Whether it is towards people or things, the emperor can tolerate it for a while, but he will never tolerate it for a lifetime, so... look
Well, Nala Xianyue will definitely fall out of favor!"
Jin nodded and said, "I hope everything is as you said."
Concubine Yu smiled and said nothing. Jin would not know that her premature birth was not sudden and had nothing to do with the child in Xianyue's belly. It was that when she went to see Concubine Yu that day, Concubine Yu had secreted something in the tea she drank.
She took oxytocin, but because the dose was light, the onset of labor did not occur immediately. In addition, she felt that she was in the same boat as Concubine Yu, and Concubine Yu would not harm her, so she never suspected that Concubine Yu had done anything.
As for the reason, it was naturally that everyone thought that the child in Xianyue's belly was an ominous one and that it was the disaster star who came to the world to force Hongli to get rid of the child in Xianyue's belly.
