Wei Jingxuan clutched the brocade quilt on her body, lowered her head and said: "If you ask me about what happened today, I have no regrets at all; if it was about murdering Xia Guiren's dragon fetus, I really regret it. With a single thought, I harmed myself and my baby."
My child..." She caressed
With her slightly protruding belly, she choked with sobs and said, "I feel so sorry for this child because he didn't have his mother by his side when he was born." As she said that, she raised her misty eyes and whispered: "Your Majesty,
May I ask you something, slave?"
Hongli said coolly: "Do you want to be exempted from the punishment of the cold palace?"
Wei Jingxuan shook her head and said: "No, I made a mistake and deserve to be punished. I am just worried about this child. I hope that the emperor can have more pity on him in the future."
Hongli didn't expect this to be what she asked for. He was a little confused for a moment, but after a while he nodded and said: "He is my child, of course I will treat him well."
Wei Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with gratitude: "I thank the Emperor on behalf of the child." After saying that, she said with some fear: "It's time for me to return to Meixuan, but Xiangju can't help me alone. Can you please ask the Emperor?
Send another person to help this slave go back."
"The imperial doctor said that you were frightened too much and had fetal motility, so it is not appropriate to move at this time. You should stay here for now and go back after you feel better."
Wei Jingxuan's face flashed with joy, and then she said uneasily: "But this slave is a guilty person, how can I live here, or..."
Before she could say anything, Hongli said: "You have saved me, so it is considered a meritorious service. This matter is settled."
Seeing that she could not refuse, Wei Jingxuan had to say: "In that case, I would like to thank the Emperor for your grace. Don't worry, I will return to Mei Xuan as soon as the fetus is stable, and I will not embarrass the Emperor."
Hongli nodded, turned around and walked towards the door. Wei Jingxuan quickly asked: "Is the Emperor leaving?"
Hongli stopped and turned around and asked, "What else do you want?"
Wei Jingxuan bit her lip and whispered: "No...it's okay. I will send you to the emperor respectfully."
Hongli heard the reluctance in her words, hesitated for a moment, and said: "You have a good rest, I will come to see you another day."
This sentence made Wei Jingxuan extremely happy, and she nodded repeatedly. After Hongli left, a trace of pride appeared on her face. Concubine Yu's plan was really good. Although Hongli's words were still cold, her attitude towards herself was obviously different.
He changed, obviously remembering his "life-saving grace".
"With the pain of a hairpin, you can exchange for glory and wealth in the rest of your life." This is what Yu Fei asked Yu Liu to say early this morning. Now it seems that it has really worked; if everything goes well, Hongli should soon be able to return to his usual place.
position. However, she will not stay in this position for long. When she gives birth to a dragon fetus in her belly, she will at least be a noble person.
When Xiangju went down to prepare dinner, Wei Jingxuan said softly to the empty room: "Concubine Yu, I really want to thank you this time. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you." So.
As she said that, a trace of vigilance flashed in her eyes. Even Concubine Yu, who was so shrewd and cold-blooded, was defeated by Nala Xianyue. She had to be more careful in the future. She was not sure of victory.
Never take action, lest you follow in the footsteps of Concubine Yu.
All things came to an end in March of the twelfth year of Qianlong's reign. Yonghuang was posthumously named Prince Anding, and Yongqi was posthumously named Prince Rongjun. They were both buried in Miyun.
As for Wei Jingxuan, who had "rescued the driver", she also returned to her usual position this month, and her grounding was lifted so that she could better raise her baby.
The one who was most upset about this news was Xia Qing. When she went to Huang's palace to pay her respects, she mentioned the matter and said angrily: "Obviously everything is a foregone conclusion, but she actually made such a fuss, which made her lose her
It’s really hateful to get away!”
"I know that you are grievances in your heart, but this is the emperor's will. No matter how grievance or anger you are, there is nothing you can do about it." Facing Huang's consolation, Xia Qing twisted her handkerchief and said, "Your Majesty is also true, knowing that Wei Jingxuan
He once ordered Xianghan to harm me, and he still behaves like this, what on earth is he thinking?!"
"No matter what, Wei Jingxuan has always done a good job in rescuing the emperor and blocking the assassination of the Corriette family for the emperor. The emperor has always valued friendship, so naturally..."
Xia Qing took the words and said: "Are you not going to take responsibility for the past? The emperor is like this, and the rewards and punishments are really unclear. There is also the imperial concubine, and she doesn't help to persuade the emperor."
Seeing that she was going too far, Mrs. Huang was about to dissuade her when Ling Ruo's voice came to her ears, "Mr. Xia said this, are you blaming me?"
Xia Qing was startled and quickly stood up with Huang to salute Xiayue who walked in slowly. The latter raised her hand and said, "Mr. Xia has not answered my question yet."
Xia Qing bit her lips lightly, lowered her eyes and said: "I don't dare, I just want Wei Jingxuan to escape from death, but I am really unwilling to do so. Your Majesty has always been valued by the emperor, if you are willing to speak up, I think Wei Jingxuan will not have the chance to return to the throne."
Xianyue sighed softly and said: "Xia Qing, you have been in the palace for many years, and you should know what kind of person the emperor is. Although he is an emperor, he is very affectionate. This time, Wei Jingxuan sacrificed her life to save the emperor in the Yangxin Palace.
fate, the emperor has always kept this friendship in his heart; originally, relying on the emperor
I wanted to make Wei Jingxuan a noble person, but I dissuaded her on the grounds that she had committed something wrong, so I only restored her to her usual position. And this is the limit of what I can do. If she does it again
To persuade her will definitely make the emperor think that Wei Jingxuan cannot be accommodated in this palace, and it will not be good when the time comes."
Xia Qing didn't expect that there was such a reason, and she said guiltily: "I have wrongly blamed your Majesty, please forgive me."
Xianyue didn't blame Xia Qing in the first place, and immediately said: "That's all, I understand your feelings, but when you should endure it, you still have to endure it, do you understand?"
When Xia Qing nodded, Mrs. Huang sighed and said: "It's strange to say that I always thought that Wei Jingxuan, like Mr. Keliete, was an extremely selfish person. I never expected that in the Yangxin Palace, she would actually do this.
Regardless of my life, I blocked the emperor's hairpin in exchange for today's restoration."
Xia Qing took it seriously and said: "It's very strange. I have known Wei Jingxuan for the longest time. Based on my understanding of her, I think she would never do that."
"Is it possible that she really has such deep feelings for the emperor? She can even give up her life?" As soon as Huang finished speaking, Xia Qing said decisively: "No, she will not give up her life for anyone. In her eyes,
What matters is only power and status."
"But in fact, she did save the emperor." Faced with Huang's words, Xianyue said, "Maybe...she realized the opportunity."
Huang asked in confusion: "Where do you start talking about this?"
