"Concubine...I don't know, I thought the emperor came here to take away this child, concubine..." Xianyue said incoherently, and then she held Hongli's hand tightly and said nervously: "Your Majesty
Are you really willing to let me keep this child?"
"I have brought you here, will there be any holidays?" Hongli lowered his head and looked at her slightly exposed belly, and said softly: "I owe you and this child enough, and I don't want to owe more.
Too much, because I'm afraid... I won't be able to pay it back in the future."
Xianyue looked at Hongli with red eyes. She knew how difficult it was for Hongli to make this decision. Owe... was just a word, but Hongli was burdened with the great burden left by his ancestors.
Qing Jiangshan, which is light and which is heavy, is unknown.
She choked and said: "Has the emperor really made a decision? Decided to keep this disaster star?"
Hongli sighed softly and said: "Actually, on the way to Yanxi Palace, I was not sure about the disaster star... If it turns out to be a disaster star and causes chaos, I will become a sinner through the ages. But... I let go
I can't forget the word "owe", and...as Hong Zhou said, there are too many doubts about this matter, and I don't want to regret it when I find out in the future."
Xianyue knew that a few words that seemed to be an understatement were a big gamble for Hongli. If the bet was wrong, the consequences would be disastrous.
Regardless of whether Hongli treated their mother and son with gratitude or affection, it was enough to move her deeply, "Isn't the Emperor afraid that your bet will be wrong?"
Hongli met her gaze and said in a solemn voice: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid! But what's in your belly is my flesh and blood, and tiger poison can't even eat its own children, let alone a human being, so... I finally decided to take a gamble.
.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you... Your Majesty!" Xianyue said that before the child was born, she would never shed tears, but at this moment, she could not suppress the warm liquid, letting them flow out of her eyelids unscrupulously, crawling all over her eyes.
The whole cheek.
Hong Li stroked the moisture from her face with pity and said warmly: "Look at you, you are almost a mother-in-law, and you still love crying so much. You said before that you would never cry."
Xianyue cried and laughed at what he said, and choked with sobs: "The emperor treated me well, I will remember it in my heart for the rest of my life and never forget it."
Hongli smiled, patted her hand and said: "Okay, from now on you can stay here and wait for your childbirth, or live in Jinlian Yingri Garden. As for A Luo and the others..." Hongli pointed to a short distance away and said:
"I asked Si Xi to bring you. If you are lacking anything, just tell me and I will have someone bring it to you. In addition, from tomorrow onwards, the Imperial Physician of the Song Dynasty will also come to the Old Summer Palace, so you can rest assured."
"The emperor has thought so carefully for me, I... don't know what to do..." Before she could finish speaking, Hongli said, "Do you want to repay me?" After Xianyue nodded, he smiled and said: "
Then you saved my life before, how should I repay you?"
Xianyue shook her head and said: "That's different. I am just a person. You only need to consider your true intentions when doing anything. But the emperor is connected to thousands of miles of country. Every word and deed is related to the country, the country and the country."
Hongli concealed the heaviness in his heart and pretended to be serious: "In that case, how about you help me to be an eternal wise king?"
"Concubine?" Xianyue pointed at herself in astonishment. Seeing her like this, Hongli couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm just joking with you. As long as you take good care of our flesh and blood and give birth to him safely, you're doing me a favor."
The best reward."
Xianyue looked at him without saying a word, not knowing what she was thinking. For a long time, in the increasingly heavy snow, she slowly said: "My child, I will definitely protect my son and let him come to this world safely; as for
Your Majesty, I promise you that I will do my best to assist you in becoming an eternal wise king."
Hongli smiled and said: "I told you I was joking, how could you still take it seriously? You are not a court official, how can you help me?"
Xianyue said with a serious face: "I know that I am just a concubine, but I will work hard so that I can live up to the emperor's kindness to me."
Hongli didn't think too much and said with a smile: "In that case, I will wait for you to help me leave my holy name in the history books."
After he finished speaking, Sixi came over and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. If you don't go back, I'm afraid the palace gate will be closed."
Hongli nodded and said to Xianyue: "It's a good idea to stay here for your pregnancy. Don't think too much about it. I will come over to see you when I have time. In addition, I asked Liu Hu to arrange guards to protect you here."
Xianyue followed her words and said, "Well, your Majesty, please be careful along the way."
After Hongli left, Aluo and others came to Xianyue and helped her to the Golden Lotus Yingri Garden. Although no masters came to live in the Old Summer Palace during this period, all the necessary items were available, and Qi Kuan quickly
He came in with a warm charcoal basin and within a short time, the room became warm.
Zhichun brought a cup of hot tea to Xianyue and said: "I really didn't expect that the emperor would do this this time. I thought before... that the emperor believed the words of the disaster star and wanted to remove the dragon fetus in the master's arms.
"
"Not to mention you, even I didn't expect to be treated like this by the emperor. Even if I die now, I will have no regrets in this life." When she said this, Xianyue looked extremely gentle.
A Luo pursed his lips and smiled: "That's not possible, the emperor is still waiting for the master to give birth to a little brother."
"You are the most talkative." Xianyue scolded A Luo, and then said with a somewhat solemn look: "Although I am fine, but the emperor... I don't know how those ministers will embarrass the emperor."
A Luo comforted him: "Master, don't worry. The emperor is the king of a country. Those ministers dare not go too far. Besides, the emperor said before that there are many doubts about this matter. I believe it will be found out soon."
Xianyue sighed softly and said helplessly: "I hope so."
After Hongli returned to the palace, he immediately went to Cining Palace to meet with Ling Ruo, and explained the matter in detail. Then he lowered his eyes and said: "My son did not report to Emperor Ming's mother, so he took the initiative and placed Concubine Xian in the Old Summer Palace."
, I hope the Queen will forgive me."
Ling Ruo nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, but Emperor, the pressure you will face will be great. Those ministers will not give up, so you must be prepared for this."
"My son knows about it, so he plans to go to Shuntian Mansion in person after tomorrow morning to see how Ji Changming's case is being investigated."
"If the emperor wants to know the case, he can just summon Shuntian Prefecture Yin to the palace for questioning. Why go there in person?"
Facing Ling Ruo's inquiry, Hongli said: "My son wants to take a look at Ji Changming's body, so it is convenient for him to go there."
Seeing what he said, Ling Ruo no longer objected and said: "That's fine, Your Majesty, you should be more careful and bring more guards."
Hongli smiled and said: "Mother Huang, have you forgotten that your son is always protected by a spy? Even if he doesn't have a bodyguard, nothing will happen."
Ling Ruoyan said: "The Ai family knows, but it's always better to be careful."
