"It doesn't matter." Hongli waved his hand and said: "Concubine Yu and Ji Changming had a marriage contract, but I didn't find any evidence that she was related to this matter, so it shouldn't be her."
In this regard, Xianyue didn't say much, she just nodded silently. Concubine Yu was very well hidden in front of Hongli. Without sufficient evidence, it would have been impossible to lift the mask she had worn for so many years.
After Hongli sat down again, he said: "I will send people to continue to investigate whether the Lu family has any accomplices, but... there is a more important matter now."
Xianyue said in confusion: "What's more important? What is it?"
Hongli smiled and said, "I'm just taking you back to the palace. Do you want to stay in the Old Summer Palace for the rest of your life?"
Hearing what was going on, Xianyue chuckled and said: "The Old Summer Palace is full of beautiful scenery, and I never tire of it. If I really want to stay here for the rest of my life, I will be happy to do so."
Hongli gently scratched the bridge of her nose and said, "You are very happy with it. What can I do? I want to see you and our children often."
"Now that the empress and concubine Jia have both given birth to a prince for the emperor, how can the emperor remember this one in my concubine's womb?" Faced with her words, Hongli said amusingly: "If I really didn't remember, I wouldn't hurry up.
I have been running around for half a day and came here specifically to see you." After a pause, he continued: "No matter how many children I have, the one in your belly will always be special to me. You and I have been looking forward to him for a long time.
Isn't it?"
Xianyue met his gaze and said softly: "Yes, I know."
Hongli smiled slightly, stretched out his hand towards her and said, "Then... would you like to follow me back to the palace?"
Facing his extended hand, Xianyue hesitated for a moment, and finally raised her hand to hold it. Even if she returned to the Forbidden City, she could protect her child, and... it was only natural that the child would be born in the Forbidden City.
On March 19, Xianyue, who was more than five months pregnant, returned to the palace with Hongli and entered the Forbidden City after a long absence. This trip to the Old Summer Palace made everyone aware of the importance of Concubine Xian in Hongli's heart.
Don't say that the disaster incident has passed. Even if the investigation is still not clear, no one dares to be disrespectful to this noble concubine. Even if they hate it in their hearts, they don't dare to show it in front of others.
Not long after returning to Yanxi Palace, people started to come over to pay their respects, including Concubine Yu and the Jin family. They were laughing and talking to each other, as if they were really very good sisters.
Jin sighed and said: "Oh, I really didn't expect that it turned out that all the rumors were fabricated by Lu. This person is really very scheming. Fortunately, the emperor knew everything, otherwise the concubines would still misunderstand him until now.
My dear, I thought there really was some kind of disaster star."
After she finished speaking, Concubine Yu said: "Yes, I have listened to rumors before, and I hope you will not blame me."
Xianyue smiled and said: "Concubine Yu, you are serious. I have never blamed you. Even if I really want to blame you, it is the real culprit who fabricated rumors and wanted to force the emperor to get rid of the dragon fetus in my belly."
A trace of uneasiness flashed across Jin's eyes, and she immediately said: "Isn't it true? Lu is really hateful."
Xianyue smiled and said nothing. After chatting for a while, she ordered Zhichun to fetch a brocade box and present it to the Jin family. "This longevity lock is a gift from me to the sixth elder brother. It was supposed to be given to me when I was full moon."
I came, but unfortunately I was in the Old Summer Palace at the time, and I didn’t get the chance until today. I hope Concubine Jia won’t dislike it.”
Jin quickly stood up and took it, saying: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. I thank you on behalf of my children."
Xianyue said warmly: "Speaking of which, I haven't met the sixth elder brother yet. Concubine Jia will be free the other day, so she will bring the sixth elder brother over to sit with her."
"I obey your order." After Jin finished speaking, Concubine Yu said: "Your Majesty just returned to the palace today, and she must be tired. I won't bother you anymore. I'll come back to say hello to you another day."
After Yu Fei, the others also stood up and said goodbye. After sending them out one by one, Zhichun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Finally, they are all gone, no need to look at those hypocritical masks."
Qi Kuan took over and said, "Isn't that right? This time the emperor tried his best to protect the dragon fetus in the master's belly, and later found out that the disaster star was made up by the Lu family. They don't know how disappointed they are."
Zhichun took the anti-fetal medicine from the palace attendant and said, "It's a pity, they are destined to be disappointed. If my little brother survives this disaster, he will definitely have endless blessings in the future."
Xianyue nodded Zhichun's forehead and scolded with a smile: "You girl, you will never change your habit of talking too much. It was the same in front of the emperor before. Fortunately, the emperor doesn't care about you, otherwise it depends on what you do."
Zhichun knew that she was talking about what she said in the Old Summer Palace, so he slightly stuck out his tongue and said, "But Concubine Yu is really suspicious."
"I know that the Lu family most likely took the blame for Concubine Yu, but I still don't understand how Concubine Yu put the blame on the Lu family. After all, it was just as the emperor said during that time.
, there are people in every palace and courtyard keeping an eye on it, so it’s impossible not to notice it.”
A Luo hesitated and said: "So, the person who killed Ji Changming was also Concubine Yu?"
Xianyue nodded and said: "She knew that the emperor had begun to doubt Ji Changming, and was afraid that he would tell his story, so she killed Ji Changming in that weird way. Firstly, she could keep the secret, and secondly, she could make the world think that Ji Changming
He died because of the disaster star."
Zhichun said with fear on his face: "This woman is really scary. How could it be said that Ji Changming had been engaged to her before, but he killed her right away without thinking about the old relationship at all."
Xianyue sneered and said: "She hates me to the core. In order to deal with me, there is nothing she can't do. It's a pity that she tried her best and failed to get what she wanted in the end."
Qi Kuan shook his head and said, "Let alone Concubine Yu. The more she talks about it, the worse her mood becomes. Master, dinner has been prepared. I will help you to the side hall."
A Luo said with a smile: "My eldest brother hasn't come back yet, so how can the master be willing to have a meal first?" Yong Huang went to practice outside the palace with his master today, but he hasn't come back yet.
As soon as A Luo finished speaking, the door was pushed open with force, and then a figure ran in. It was Yong Huang, holding a bow and arrow in his hand. He said in surprise: "Auntie, are you really back?"
As soon as he returned to the palace, the palace people told him that Xianyue was back, and he hurried back. He had asked Huang Ama before and knew that Xianyue would be back soon, but he didn't know the specific day.
Otherwise, no matter what I say today, I will not leave the palace with my master.
Xianyue said with a smile on her face: "Yes, come quickly and let me take a look. I haven't seen it for a while. It seems that I have grown taller and stronger."
Facing Xianyue's wave, Yonghuang was about to go over. Zhichun quickly stopped him and said: "Brother, please put down your bow and arrow first, otherwise what will happen if you hurt the master and the dragon fetus." As she spoke, she
Seeing what Yong Huang was holding in his other hand, he exclaimed: "Ah, what is this? Why is it so bloody? It's so scary!"
