Chapter 313: Winning over people and arousing hatred
When Concubine Xian woke up, she saw the Sixth Prince and Yao Wanyi standing nearby with their eyes red from crying.
"Why are you crying? Aren't I doing well?" Concubine Xian tried her best to smile, but her face was too pale and she looked extremely weak.
The Sixth Prince was trembling with pain, feeling distressed and aggrieved at the same time.
How could she, Yao Wanyi, be worthy of her mother treating her like this?
As for Yao Wanyi, she was completely moved by Concubine Xian.
She took Concubine Xian's hand and called Concubine Mother while saying, "There are many people who have loved me since I was a child, but there has never been anyone like you. You are truly closer than my biological mother."
"Silly boy, how can I compare to the princess?" Concubine Xian said weakly, "I love you just because you are my daughter-in-law and the mother of my grandson. It is because you are better that my son can
Only my grandson can do well."
But the more Concubine Xian said this, the more Yao Wanyi believed that she was completely sincere towards him.
"Your Highness, the imperial doctor is here, can you call him in?" Kang Guang walked in and asked.
Before the Sixth Prince could speak, Concubine Xian spoke: "Who asked the imperial doctor to come? Please go back quickly!"
"How can this happen, concubine? You are so weak now and have injuries on your body. It is impossible not to ask the imperial doctor to see you." The sixth prince said anxiously.
"Silly boy, I'm fine. The wound isn't that deep. I'll just apply some wound medicine later." Concubine Xian said patiently, "I don't want the imperial doctor to know, and I don't want to alarm others. This is a private matter in our family.
It's my own business. If everyone knows about it, it seems like I have some agenda."
"But my mother's body..." Of course the Sixth Prince was worried.
"I'm really fine. Why can't you trust me? Now that I'm grounded, if this news gets out, people won't think that I'm only thinking about my son and wife. They'll just think that I'm causing trouble on purpose and have other thoughts.
.
At the moment, it is better to have less to worry about than to have more to worry about. It is better for everyone to be quiet! In fact, if I hadn’t heard that this tonic soup must be taken within a hundred days of miscarriage to be effective, I wouldn’t be so anxious to ask you to come into the palace.
Hurry to this stall.
You two are filial children, but you can't let a small thing cost you a big thing, otherwise wouldn't I have wasted all my efforts?"
"Don't worry, concubine, I will send you the best medicine later." Yao Wanyi wiped her tears and said, "You must rest peacefully and eat well, otherwise I won't be able to let go of my heart no matter what."
Kang Guang sent the imperial doctor away and asked someone to stew ginseng soup for Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian lay there for a while, the color gradually returning to her face, and she started to eat with her son and daughter-in-law.
After finishing the meal and talking for a while, Yao Wanyi said: "Since I have entered the palace today, I have to pay my respects to my aunt, otherwise the etiquette will not be justified."
Concubine Xian nodded and said, "You can't tell me what you said without going over there, but please don't tell me about me, lest she worry about it."
"Don't worry, concubine, I won't tell you." Yao Wanyi said and stood up, "I'll be back later."
After Yao Wanyi left, the Sixth Prince couldn't help but ask Concubine Xian: "Concubine, why are you doing this? Don't say that the tonic soup may not work, even if it does work, you can't hurt your body."
"Silly boy, the mother-in-law has no other abilities, and because she defended the queen, the emperor had a grudge against us." Concubine Xian sighed helplessly, "Now the only way to be safe is to make you and Wanyi more of the same mind.
After all, the only one we can rely on now is the queen."
The sixth prince heard this but did not take it seriously: "If my mother-in-law hadn't stood up for the queen, how could she have been grounded? If she was really reliable, how could she have allowed you to suffer such injustice?"
"Otherwise, what can we do?" Concubine Xian couldn't help crying and said, "If we don't rely on the Queen, who can we rely on? We have already lost the Emperor's favor, so we cannot lose the Queen's heart.
The Queen sent someone to tell me the day before yesterday that because it was inconvenient for me to be grounded now, all the matters I had been in charge of were left to Concubine Hui and others.
The Queen will never flatter anyone, so if I don’t coax Wan Yi to be good, what will happen?"
"Hmph! I've seen it a long time ago. The Queen is totally unreliable." The Sixth Prince said angrily, "They say Mrs. Xu is narrow-minded, but in fact she is much more cruel than Mrs. Xu."
"You don't want your life?! What crazy talk are you talking about?!" Concubine Xian was so frightened that she covered her son's mouth, "Be careful, walls have ears."
"Concubine, I've had enough for a long time," the Sixth Prince said sadly and angrily, "You don't know how disgusting it is for me to face that female toad every day! You even cut off your own flesh to make soup for her. In fact, I even touched it
I don’t even want to touch her anymore! Who wants to have children with her?!”
"I know you don't like her, but didn't you do this to protect you in the long run?" Concubine Xian said helplessly, "Why do we have no ability ourselves and can only let others round her up and flatten her!"
"Can we just accept it this way?" the Sixth Prince repeatedly asked himself during countless torturous days and nights.
"Son, if I could, how could I be willing to let you suffer even the slightest injustice?" Concubine Xian burst into tears, "The queen controls the harem, and the Yao family has deep roots in the front. Compared with others, we really can't compete.
.”
"But even animals that can't speak live with the sound of their voices and die without silence. Why do we have to suffer such insults?" After all, the Sixth Prince is young and has no shortage of passion and impulsiveness.
"My child, this cannot be accomplished by a moment of will," Concubine Xian shook her head, "The Queen and the Yao family can cover the sky with one hand, do you want to overthrow the sky?"
The Sixth Prince gritted his teeth and did not say a word. No matter how impulsive he was, he knew that it would not be enough to just say a harsh word.
But he was really unwilling!
Looking at his expression, Concubine Xian knew what he was thinking, and she persuaded softly: "Good boy, calm down. I can still bear this little grievance at the moment, and you don't have to feel too unfair for me.
.
The same goes for you and Wanyi. As long as she has a child, she won't put all her thoughts on you.
In two years, the princess will give you permission to take in two concubines, and you will still be able to live your life."
The sixth prince wanted to say something else, but Kang Guang said outside: "The prince's concubine is back. Please wait a little longer and be careful of the steps."
So Concubine Xian, mother and son quickly wiped away their tears, and at this time Yao Wanyi also came in.
"Mother, how are you feeling now?" Yao Wanyi held a bowl of medicine in her hand, "This is the medicine from the Queen's Palace. It nourishes qi and blood. I didn't say you wanted to use it, only that I wanted it.
One pill to spare.
After a while, ask them to serve you, take this medicine, and rest for two or three days, and you are guaranteed to recover."
