Chapter 504 The Baby Left Behind
Although Zhang Yun was personally attacked by the emperor, he was the emperor after all, so he had to flatter him, not to mention showing off his displeasure: "Your Majesty has a good eye. If I change my mind, can you please…"
Hongli interrupted him mercilessly: "No."
Zhang Yun: “…”
Of course he knew he couldn't.
But he had to express his loyalty and show his urgency, otherwise, the emperor would suspect that he was so obsessed with Chunchan that he was not in a hurry to have a child, and would think that he would give way to his loyalty to the emperor for Chunchan.
But being rejected so decisively...
The emperor is such a dog!
Hongli glanced at him and said, "The Imperial Concubine loves Chunchan much more than Lancui. She loves Chunchan as her own sister. You want me to cut off the Imperial Concubine's flesh for you..."
Zhang Yun quickly admitted his mistake: "I would never dare to do that! I will wait until the Imperial Concubine's worries are completely gone before I speak."
Hongli felt that he was quite pitiful: "In fact, I can grant you a marriage with a noble lady from a certain family. As long as you ask, I will agree."
How dare Zhang Yun?
Also your lady!
There are powerful forces behind the noble lady. As soon as he marries the noble lady, the emperor will probably ask him to get out, or send people to keep a close eye on him to see if he will stand with any prince and wait to kill him.
The Imperial Concubine was reluctant to agree to the marriage, so why did the Emperor agree? Wasn't it because the Emperor was pleased that the Imperial Concubine was sensible and didn't touch the people he wanted to use?
The emperor was afraid that he would collude with other powerful forces to rebel, and he was also afraid that Chunchan was not enough of a carrot to bait, so he often tested him.
Zhang Yun threw his head to the ground, "It's fine if I haven't seen a good one, but I've seen such a good one, I don't want anything else! Besides, I have no one at home, and I don't want a powerful father-in-law, mother-in-law, or brother-in-law. I think Chunchan is good, and I'm willing to wait! I can wait!"
Hongli narrowed his eyes and stared at him: "Aren't you afraid that you will be too old to have children? Otherwise, I will give you a few concubines."
Zhang Yun really wanted to cry: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I gave birth to a bastard, and the Imperial Concubine told me to get out of Yongshou Palace. Can you still scold the Imperial Concubine for someone as dishonest as me?"
Hongli was displeased again: "Get lost, you are such a loser!"
Zhang Yun immediately took his leave and ran away.
Hongli looked at Jinzhong and said, "I have checked it out. Concubine Jia attacked Ruyi. He was definitely not involved?"
Jinzhong replied respectfully, "Indeed, no, but he seemed to have discovered that there was something wrong with Lady Yao's pulse. He was just worried for a few days and then went back to read medical books."
Hongli's brows relaxed: "Keep an eye on it."
Jinzhong knew that he was not only talking about keeping an eye on Zhang Yun but also on the others, so he responded respectfully. Seeing that his brows had relaxed a little, he smiled a little and casually mentioned Ruyi's affairs:
"Lady Yao is too worried about the Eighteenth Prince. That's why she likes to ask for medicinal herbs, frequently calls the imperial physician, and mentions how Prince Duanhui is..."
Suddenly realizing that he had said something wrong, he knelt down with a plop: "I said something wrong! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Hongli's face was gloomy: "She actually compared her son with Yonglian?!"
He was furious to the extreme, but he calmed down completely: "I think she is too proud to think that she is just a noble lady, raising a prince who may not know how old he is, and she is counting on the son to become famous."
Jinzhong was nervous: "Your Majesty, please calm down! I have already ordered the palace maids and eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Yanxi Palace to not let this word get to the ears of the Empress and delay the Empress's treatment!"
Hongli said coldly: "You'd better keep this news secret!"
His heart grew colder.
Ruyi has been the queen all her life, and what she wants most, of course, is for her child to become the crown prince, but for the emperor to be the queen or the empress dowager in all rights.
Then Langya is naturally her stumbling block!
Langya already knew what Hailan had done, and Hailan was Ruyi's most loyal dog.
Ruyi is now so ostentatious, comparing Xiao Shiba to Yonglian, isn't it just to hurt Langya's heart? !
Ulanara Ruyi, she really would do anything to achieve her goal. She even dragged her son, who was so young and sickly, into the war with great difficulty!
Hongli was furious: "You go, go in person, drag Concubine Yao to the palace road and beat her with a stick thirty times. Don't let her die, but make sure she remembers this lesson!"
He sneered: "How dare she mention Yonglian!"
If her death might affect his safety, she should have died long ago. Letting a useless evil spirit like her who can only cause trouble live, she should just live quietly and not make trouble. She should learn a lesson for being so shameless!
Jinzhong respectfully accepted the task, backed out step by step, stepped out of the threshold, and then turned around.
Hongli glanced at the corner of his clothes, reviewed the memorials for a while, and then asked someone to prepare for him, as he wanted to go to Baoyue Tower.
Jinzhong hurriedly took his men to the Yanxi Palace.
In the Yanxi Palace, Ruyi was losing her temper: "Since when has bird's nest become a rare item?! I didn't know that! You dog slave! You are clearly adding insult to injury!"
Her sharp voice echoed throughout the entire Yanxi Palace, but the palace was silent and no one responded to her. Although the palace maids and eunuchs were all there, they were all very indifferent to her. They only did what was within their responsibility and never did anything they could choose to do.
It’s not that the wet nurses didn’t care about the Eighteenth Prince, but they just didn’t try hard enough. Without trying hard enough, it was naturally impossible to comfort him no matter how hard he cried.
Ruyi loved her child so much that she did everything herself. The child felt her sincerity and became more dependent on her. He wanted to sleep on her chest and would cry loudly if she was even a little bit away from him.
The child's heart and lungs were extremely weak, and crying for too long would be fatal. Ruyi could only bite the bullet, endure the pain of her pounding heart, and stand up with disheveled hair to coax her.
She has been doing this kind of boring and heavy work with no rest time for almost a year, dragging her weak body to do it. The worst thing is that no one is willing to chat with her and tell her what's really on their mind.
Even Rong Pei, because she was so angry at Rong Pei for not doing well during the childbirth and slapped her, has become more and more like a mute.
Ruyi could only vent her resentment on the servants. Unfortunately, unless she hit someone herself, the palace maids and eunuchs would just touch the other person's face lightly without making any loud noise.
She was even more miserable than when she was in Yiku Palace, so miserable that it felt as if her whole body was soaked in Coptis chinensis water.
The only ones who would react to her scolding were the servants outside the Yanxi Palace. She even began to like them talking back to her.
Unfortunately, she couldn't be away for too long. If she stayed away for too long, she was afraid that the child would cry in the Yanx Palace and the wet nurses would not be able to comfort him.
Zhang Qing was the only person who truly loved her, and Xiao Shiba was the only treasure he left for her, and she would not allow him to make any mistakes.
