Chapter 119

"Empress Concubine Xian, Empress Xiuyi... have already passed away...."

When Gu Yunxian heard what the palace man said, he was at a loss for a moment.

Jiang Yuechang is dead?
She originally thought that she would have to hang out with her for a while, but who would have thought that she would die so simply.

"What about the little prince?" Zhuang Guiji asked.

"The prince is fine and is being taken care of by the wet nurse."

Rou Jieyu was soft-hearted and couldn't help sighing, "What a poor child, she lost her mother when she was born."

Most of the people present didn't have a good impression of Jiang Yuechang, and they didn't raise children like Rou Jieyu, so they could empathize with her, so they didn't take it seriously.A few people were secretly delighted, it was a good thing to lose such a difficult opponent anyway.

From the corner of his eye, Gu Yunxian saw that when Yu Zhaoyi heard these words, his eyes lit up suddenly, as if he had thought of something.

The door of the delivery room opened, and Ling Shuyuan walked out with a blank expression.The dress on her body was stained with blood, and she looked a little scary.

Yu Zhaoyi went up to meet her, and comforted her: "Ms. Jing, the deceased is gone, don't be too sad."

There was no emotion in Ling Shuyuan's eyes, and she didn't look at Yu Zhaoyi. Instead, she said to Gu Yunxian in a flat voice: "Immortal concubine, my concubine wants to see the little prince."

Gu Yunxian nodded, "Go and bring the little prince."

Soon, the nurse came over with the baby.This time, Gu Yunxian paid special attention to Yu Zhaoyi's expression.correct.The moment she saw the child, her eyes sparkled.

Ling Shuyuan took over the swaddle, and when she saw the flushed cheek inside, her dull eyes finally changed.Tears welled up and dripped down on the child's forehead.

She wiped away her tears, raised her head and looked at Gu Yunxian, "I ask the empress to allow me to take the child to Cuiyu Palace to take care of me."

Yu Zhaoyi frowned imperceptibly, and then said softly: "Ms. Jing, are you sad and confused? You are not the biological mother of this child, how can you take him back to take care of him? This is against the rules."

Ling Shuyuan glanced at her indifferently, "According to what Lady Zhaoyi said, is it possible that this child should be left in Xianchi Palace?"

Ming Xiuyi is dead, and the Xianchi Hall will have a funeral soon, so it is naturally impossible to keep the little prince here.

After hearing this, Yu Zhaoyi couldn't think of how to solve it for a moment, so she kept silent.

Gu Yunxian thought about it, and said: "In this case, let Bengong take the child back."

She is the lord of the harem and the future queen, so it is perfect for her to take the concubine's child back to take care of her.

This result was obviously not what Yu Zhaoyi wanted to see. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Gu Yunxian add: "It just so happens that Your Majesty hasn't seen the child yet, so taking it to this Palace will make it easier for them to see each other."

Yu Zhaoyi couldn't stop this reason, she could only watch Gu Yunxian approach Ling Shuyuan and hug the child from her arms.

Although Ling Shuyuan was a little bit reluctant, she still gave her the child.

Gu Yunxian's eyes were gentle, and he said in a low voice: "Now that Yueniang is gone, this child has to make plans for the future. Jingniang, you have to take care of yourself, otherwise you won't be able to take care of this child..."

It was just ordinary comforting words, but Ling Shuyuan keenly heard her other deep meaning.

She raised her head and met Gu Yunxian's dark eyes.

The thick black eyelashes trembled slightly, and she seemed to realize something.

The little prince was placed on the small bed and fell into a deep sleep.Gu Yunxian stood by and watched him for a while, then told the people next to him, "Take care of the little prince", and went out.

It was only now that Ah Ci finally found a chance to talk to her, and said impatiently, "Then Ming Xiuyi is dead. From now on, she can no longer harm others! As long as the servant thinks of what she has done, she will be ashamed." I hate it so much!" At this point, she sneered, "But such a way of death is really cheap for her! According to this servant, she should have been tortured!"

Gu Yunxian said: "Torture her? How to torture her? Is it possible to punish her?" Shaking his head, "Forget it, everyone is dead, so I don't want to care about it."

"Miss is kind-hearted, it's okay not to argue with her, but why do you bring her child back?" A Ci dissatisfied, "When this servant sees the child, he thinks of his mother, and I feel panicked!"

Hearing what they were talking about, Cai Jia suddenly asked curiously: "Your Majesty, you... don't you plan to raise this child?"

Ah Ci's eyes widened suddenly, "No, no, absolutely not! I absolutely cannot accept being with this child day and night!"

Gu Yunxian gave them an annoyed look, "What are you thinking! I don't intend to argue with the dead, but I'm not generous enough for this. This child is not only annoying to you, but I also don't like it." Paused Dun, "Besides, everyone knows about the discord between me and her biological mother. If I suddenly propose to adopt her son, others will not think that I am generous, but that I am too hypocritical. I Why do you have to do such a thankless thing?"

Ah Ci breathed a sigh of relief, "Then why did the lady bring this child back?"

A smile appeared on Gu Yunxian's lips, "Because I think this kid might be able to do me a favor."

"What's the matter?" A Ci wondered.

Gu Yunxian said: "If I guess correctly, Yu Zhaoyi wants this child."

"Yu Zhaoyi?" Cai Jia was slightly surprised and immediately understood.

After Yu Zhaoyi's eldest son, the emperor, died at the age of one, she never gave birth to another son.Although there is an eldest daughter by her side now, she must not be reconciled with her ambition.

So, is she planning to snatch this child as her bargaining chip?

Although Ah Ci is a bit stupid, she has stayed in the palace for so long anyway, and after thinking about it, she came to her senses, "Miss, what you mean is that Yu Zhaoyi..." His tone suddenly became annoyed, "This person is really If you don't give up, the young lady is going to be the queen again, and she's still dreaming about it!"

Gu Yunxian smiled faintly, "Yeah, she doesn't give up, so I have to find a way to help her give up." Turning to look at the place where the little prince slept, "This child's mother has caused me so much trouble, now, Let him repay his mother's debt a little bit."

The emperor came to the Hanzhang Hall after the next day, and Gu Yunxian was talking to the nurses of the fourth son of the emperor at that time, and told them to serve him carefully.

The emperor waited for her to finish speaking before going in, grabbed her waist, and sighed softly, "I just heard that you arranged everything for that child in every detail, and you don't know what to say."

Gu Yunxian said: "Your Majesty, don't say that, these are just the duties of a concubine." The tone was melancholy, "Besides, this child has no mother, and the concubine, the concubine looks at him really pitifully..."

The emperor was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and then said softly: "When Jiang is gone, she will be gone. Don't blame yourself for what happened to her. Anyway, she didn't die yesterday, and I will give her poisoned wine. Deceive the emperor, I will never forgive such a thing as endangering the middle palace."

Gu Yunxian lowered his head slightly, "I understand."

Seeing the weird atmosphere, Gu Yunxian rolled his eyes and put on a smile, "Does Your Majesty want to visit the child?"

The emperor thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's good to have a look."

Gu Yunxian held his hand and dragged him towards the East Hall.

The fourth son of the emperor had just had a full meal, and at the moment he was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.The emperor and Gu Yunxian stood by the bed and looked at him for a long time without speaking.

After coming out of the hall, Gu Yunxian said: "Your Majesty saw how soundly the fourth son of the emperor slept, and this concubine has never seen a child sleeping!"

The emperor glanced at her and hugged her from behind, "When our child is born, you will be able to see it every day."

Gu Yunxian said: "Why, Your Majesty doesn't plan to let the concubine take care of this child for a long time?"

The emperor couldn't help frowning, "Of course you can't take care of the child for a long time."

"Why?" Gu Yunxian seemed to really not understand.

The emperor patted her on the forehead, "Sure enough, it's what the old people said, do women become stupid when they're pregnant? What will your identity be in the future? It's too flattering for you to take care of this child." Turning her around, he She lowered her head slightly and looked directly into her eyes, "Besides, why would I be willing to tire you? Just take care of our children, and let others take care of other people's children."

"What 'other people's child', this is Your Majesty's own child." Gu Yunxian smiled, "And the birth mother of the fourth son of the emperor is gone, but who wants to take care of him?"

That's a problem.The emperor thought for a moment, and said lightly: "According to the usual practice, it is natural to find another mother for him."

"Then who does His Majesty think is better?"

"To raise a prince, you have to find someone with a higher status, at least above Jieyu." The emperor said, "Feng Su and Wan'er both have their own sons to take care of, so it's not appropriate to entrust this child to them. Only Zhu Yang and Jing Niang are left."

"Jingniang and the Jiang family have a good relationship since childhood, like sisters. If she becomes the adoptive mother of the fourth son of the emperor, she will definitely treat this child as her own." Gu Yunxian said.

The emperor originally thought that Zhu Jingru was good, but when he heard Gu Yunxian's words, he had other worries, "But since she has a good relationship with Jiang, will she feel resentment towards you because of Jiang's affairs?"

Gu Yunxian seemed to think of this possibility for the first time, he was stunned for a while, and then hesitated for a while: "If Jing Niang is not suitable, is your majesty planning to give the fourth son to Zhu Yang?"

The emperor did not answer.

If it is said that even Jingniang is likely to be unfavorable to Yunniang, the possibility of Zhuyang is even greater.

In fact, over the years, he has spent very little energy thinking about the minds of the women in his harem.In the bottom of his heart, he always felt that these people were just a way for him to distract his feelings. It would be good if he knew how to make him happy, and it was not worth wasting his thoughts.He was already tired enough for the affairs of the previous court every day, and he really didn't want to be a string when he returned to the harem.

But it's different now.He hoped that he could do his best to protect Yunniang, and not let her bear the wind and rain alone like a reed in the wind.

In more than a year, he will officially implement the New Deal, and at that time he will not care about her.Before that, he couldn't leave any hidden dangers for her.

"This matter is not urgent. I need some time to think about it."
