Hongli stared at her and said slowly: "You are right, I am really... very unhappy!"
His words shocked Wei Jingxuan, and she said in panic: "Your Majesty, what do you want to do?" Before Hongli could say anything, she shook her head vigorously and said: "No, he is your child, your flesh and blood.
You can't do this!"
Hongli stood up, looked down at her and said: "Without my permission, no one can have my flesh and blood, and you are no exception."
What Wei Jingxuan was most worried about finally happened. Hongli didn't care about the piece of flesh in her belly and wanted to remove it, cutting off all her thoughts and hopes.
"No! No!" Wei Jingxuan said in a panic: "Please have mercy on your Majesty and let me keep this child."
No matter how she begged, Hongli never said a word. She climbed up to Concubine Yu, kowtowed hard, and said with tears in her eyes: "Empress, please help me to beg the emperor. This child is the emperor's and my own flesh and blood. I really don't want this child."
Lose him."
Concubine Yu said sympathetically: "Okay, you get up first." After Wei Jingxuan got up, she walked to Hongli and said: "Your Majesty, although Wei Jingxuan has a humble status, she has done nothing wrong. The reason why she concealed it is
Out of love for his son, it is not something unforgivable; as for this child, he is even more innocent, does the emperor really have the heart to strangle his own flesh and blood?"
Hongli's eyelids twitched, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "I am not qualified to give her this child. You know it."
"Yes, I know that Xiao Wu always gives Wei Jingxuan medicine to drink, but even so, she still has this child. Don't you think this is God's will? God wants you to have this child, so why do you have to do it?
How about erasing it? Even if the tiger’s venom does not eat its seeds, do you really have the heart to kill it?”
After Concubine Yu finished speaking, Wei Jingxuan knelt down again and begged: "Your Majesty, I don't want anything but this child. I beg you to be merciful and spare his life so that he can live to see his emperor."
"
Hongli remained silent for a long time. Just when Concubine Yu and Wei Jingxuan thought he was being persuaded, he suddenly uttered two words, "No!"
Concubine Yu never expected that Hongli's attitude would be so resolute. Even she was at a loss for a moment. Needless to say, Wei Jingxuan knelt on the ground in a daze, not knowing what to do.
"Sixi, go to the imperial physician and ask the imperial physician Zhou to prepare..." When Hongli was halfway through his words, Wei Jingxuan finally reacted, clutching the corners of Hongli's robe, and cried loudly: "No, Your Majesty, please don't abort this."
Child, yes, the status of a servant is low, but this child, like several elder brothers, is the emperor's flesh and blood, you cannot kill him; besides, if you do so, you will bear the reputation of a parricide, you really want to
Do this?"
In the face of Wei Jingxuan's pleading, Hongli remained indifferent. Just as Wei Jingxuan had guessed before, he already had several elder brothers, and the piece of meat in Wei Jingxuan's belly did not matter at all.
If he cares, he will do his best to treat her well, just like Mingyu once did; if he doesn't care, even if he kneels on the ground and begs for three days and three nights, he will not be soft-hearted. He treats Wei Jingxuan
He has no feelings at all, or to put it bluntly, he is just a plaything. Under such circumstances, it is natural not to say that he has any feelings for this child who should not have arrived.
At this time, Concubine Yu also came back to her senses, thought nervously, and said: "Your Majesty, Su made a big mistake back then, and you couldn't bear to harm the innocent child. You allowed her to punish her after she gave birth to her fourth brother.
Even more so, for the sake of Fourth Elder Brother, she will be spared the death penalty. Why are you so hard-hearted this time?"
Hongli turned to look at her and said coldly: "Fei Yu, are you questioning me?"
Concubine Yu said in fear: "I don't dare, but I am also a mother-in-law myself, so I can't bear it. I hope the emperor will be merciful and let this child live. As for Wei Jingxuan... If you think there is something wrong with her, please wait.
You can also punish the child after he is born."
Wei Jingxuan nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, as long as the emperor is willing to spare the child, I will be willing to do anything you want from me, even if you want me to die!" Naturally, she didn't want to die, but right now, the most important thing was to keep her life.
This child, otherwise she would really have no future in this life.
When Hongli was silent, Concubine Yu bowed deeply and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please think again and again!"
Facing Concubine Yu's persuasion and Wei Jingxuan's crying, Hongli said nothing and walked away. After he walked away, Wei Jingxuan said nervously: "My queen, what should I do now? Is the emperor really going to kill this person?"
child?"
Concubine Yu sighed heavily and said: "I have tried my best. Now... I can only depend on God's will. I hope the emperor will consider the blood relationship and let him go."
Wei Jingxuan was silent for a while, then suddenly started sobbing again, crying: "How can the emperor be so cruel and heartless, even ignoring the queen's plea? This is his own flesh and blood!"
Concubine Yu helped her up and said, "Don't be sad. Didn't you already expect this to happen before, so you came here to ask for my help? The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, so don't worry too much."
.”
Wei Jingxuan stopped crying and whispered: "My Lady, can you help me to persuade the Emperor again?"
A trace of displeasure flashed across Concubine Yu's face quickly, and she said warmly: "I also want to, but now and then, it is really not the right time. Instead, it will make the emperor unhappy or even suspicious, which is more harmful than helpful." She patted Wei Jingxuan's hand and said:
"Be patient. I believe God will not be so cruel to you."
Wei Jingxuan didn't want to let it go, but she was a person who was very good at observing words and emotions. She knew that no matter what she said at this moment, Concubine Yu would not help her anymore, so she nodded and said, "Well, that slave will go back first."
While Wei Jingxuan was feeling uneasy all the way, Hongli also came to the outside of Yanxi Palace, but did not go in. Nowadays, he has become more and more accustomed to coming here to discuss with Xianyue when something happens.
If Concubine Yu had not mentioned the Su family, he would not have hesitated. The child was innocent. In the end... the child in Wei Jingxuan's belly should be kept or killed.
Hongli was lingering at the entrance of Yanxi Palace. Someone in the palace saw it and reported it to Xianyue. The latter hurriedly came out and saw Hongli standing outside. He immediately greeted him and went out. After saluting, he looked at the sun shining in the autumn sun with confusion.
The sweaty Hongli said: "Your Majesty, why didn't you go in when you came?"
Hongli twitched his lips and said, "I've just arrived here not long ago. Come on, let's go in together."
Xianyue didn't say much, and followed him inside. Then she personally brought the sour plum soup to Hongli and said: "Although it is autumn now, the weather is not cool yet. The emperor stood outside for a while, drinking sour plum soup to relieve the heat.
