Hongli nodded, took the bowl and drank slowly. Xianyue said at the side: "Does the emperor think it is sour and sweet? If it is too sour, I will ask someone to get some rock sugar."
"No need, this is good." After finishing the cup of sour plum soup, Hongli thought for a long time and said, "Xiaoyue, I have something to discuss with you."
Ever since she saw Hongli just now, Xianyue knew that something was on his mind. Now that she heard what he said, she took advantage of the situation and said, "Your Majesty, just say it, let me see if I can help you relieve your worries."
Hongli pursed his lips and said, "Do you know everything about Wei Jingxuan?" After Xianyue nodded, he continued: "Just now, Zhou Minghua checked Wei Jingxuan's pulse and found that she has been pregnant for two months.
Pregnant."
Xianyue was shocked when she heard this and said: "I remember that the emperor mentioned that Wei Jingxuan would take medicine every time she went to bed. How could she... how could she have a dragon seed?"
"I don't know either. Concubine Yu said it was God's will. She hoped that I could let Wei Jingxuan give birth to him. Wei Jingxuan also wanted to keep this child, but I never thought of letting her bear children for me, so...
"
Xianyue took over and said: "So the emperor is very conflicted now. I wonder if this child should be born?"
"Yes, the child is innocent, but Wei Jingxuan..." Hongli sighed, not knowing how to continue. He paused for a moment and said, "I am a little undecided now."
Xianyue thought for a moment and said: "I think what Concubine Yu said is not unreasonable. Since she is taking medicine every day, Wei Jingxuan is still pregnant with the child. It can be seen that it is God's will. In this case, it is better to let the child be born."
Bar."
Hongli looked at Xianyue in surprise. He knew that Xianyue didn't like Wei Jingxuan. He thought she would persuade him to abort the child, but he never expected that she would say such words. He was stunned for a moment.
Said: "Xiayue, do you really have no objection?"
Xiayue sighed softly and said: "No matter what, it is always the emperor's child. The emperor is a benevolent king. How can the emperor bear the reputation of parricide? As for Wei Jingxuan..." She bit her lip and said
: "If the emperor likes it, he can give her a title."
Her tolerance and generosity moved Hongli very much, and he said: "Letting her give birth to this child is the greatest gift I have given her. She has no right to ask for more. I told you that Wei Jingxuan will only
Being a palace maid, this sentence will not change."
Xianyue looked at him and smiled softly: "Your Majesty does not have to promise anything to me. As long as you have me in your heart, I will be satisfied."
Hongli shook her delicate hand with emotion and said word by word: "Don't worry, I will always have you in my heart - my imperial concubine!"
The two looked at each other and smiled. After a while, Hongli, who had relieved his inner conflict, stood up and left. After he left, Aluo was about to speak when a figure walked in quickly and said to Xianyue: "Why, why are you
To persuade the emperor to let Wei Jingxuan give birth to this child, you should know very well what kind of person Wei Jingxuan is. Once she has a child, she will try to ask for more. Chang Zai, nobles and even the chief position are all she wants.
Something you want."
A Luo pulled her away a little and said displeasedly: "Xia Qing, don't be rude to the master, and apologize to the master immediately."
This person was Xia Qing, and she said with a cold face: "What mistake did I make, why should I apologize?"
Zhichun couldn't see it and scolded: "As a palace servant, you have committed a serious crime by talking to the master like this. How dare you ask what is wrong?" During this period, Xia Qing was absent-minded in doing things and always tried to find out.
The situation at Yangxin Hall made Ling Zhichun very dissatisfied with her. If Xianyue hadn't been blocking her, she would have reprimanded her.
Xia Qing snorted coldly, stared at Xianyue and said: "Do you still remember what you promised me? You said you would get rid of Wei Jingxuan and avenge my family. As a result, Wei Jingxuan was not only unscathed, but also slept with the emperor. Now
She is even pregnant with a dragon; you lied to me, you have been lying to me all this time!" After saying this, she was hysterical, like a madman.
This time, even Qi Kuan couldn't stand it and scolded: "Xia Qing, don't go too far."
Xia Qing pointed at herself and said sarcastically: "Am I going too far? Isn't it too much for her to lie to me? If I hadn't happened to hear it this time, I'm afraid you wouldn't have let me know."
Qi Kuan was about to say more, but Xianyue raised her hand to stop her. She stood up and walked to Xia Qing, saying coldly: "In your opinion, how should I answer the emperor and persuade him to abort the child?"
Xia Qing said without thinking: "This is natural, otherwise if she gives birth to a child, there will be endless troubles."
"Since the Emperor has come to this palace, it means that he is determined to keep this child, otherwise there is no need to come to discuss with me. Yes, if I insisted just now, the emperor will definitely remove the child in Wei Jingxuan's belly, but at the same time,
In the heart of the emperor
You will also be unhappy and create a gap with me. Xia Qing, is this what you want to see?" Seeing that Xia Qing turned her head and said nothing, she added: "In other words, you don't care what happens to me at all.
, just thinking about taking Wei Jingxuan’s life?”
Xia Qing never spoke. Zhichun said angrily from the side: "You are so arrogant. It is in vain that the master treats you so well."
Xianyue sighed softly, patted Xia Qing's shoulder and said, "I understand your mood, but sometimes, it's useless to be anxious. You have to..."
"You have to take your time, right?" Xia Qing laughed and said, "You have told me many times. It is precisely because I believe in you that I have waited until today. What's the result? What have I waited for? It's Wei Jingxuan's meteoric rise.
It's Wei Jingxuan's triumph!" She pointed to her chest and choked with sobs: "Do you know how much pain I feel when you hear all this? Do you know how much pain I feel when I hear all this?
Are you awakened by nightmares every night?" At this point, she waved away Xianyue's hand and said sternly: "You don't know, you don't know anything, you will only keep making me endure it, but I am really about to do it.
I can't bear it anymore." With these words, she slowly squatted down, holding her head and crying: "I really want to kill Wei Jingxuan now, but there is still Concubine Yu..."
Seeing her like this, Xianyue couldn't bear to be harshly scolded. She knelt down and said softly: "I just told the emperor to keep this child. It does not mean that I will really let Wei Jingxuan give birth to him."
Her words made Xia Qing stop crying. She raised her head and looked at Xianyue blankly, thinking about the meaning of her words.
Xianyue wiped away the tears on her cheeks with a handkerchief and said: "In fact, when the emperor said the first words to me, I had already decided to remove the piece of flesh in Wei Jingxuan's belly, but I couldn't let the emperor know
, let alone borrowing the emperor’s hand, do you understand?”
Xia Qing came over understandingly and said in surprise: "Master is saying..."
