Because Jiang Tiancheng committed such a scandal, it was no surprise that the marriage between Jiang Quwu and Zuo Xiang's daughter could only be put on hold for the time being.
Jin Xin even moved her fetus and was kept lying down in the palace, unable to go to the ground.
Regarding this matter, senior ministers from the previous dynasty requested reports one after another to deal with the imperial concubine, saying that her virtue was unworthy of her position, that she had allowed her family members to act recklessly, and that she had committed such a big mistake. If she was not dealt with, it would be difficult to convince the public.
Concubine Xuan even went to the imperial study and knelt down, imploring the emperor to give an explanation to her sister-in-law and an explanation to her brother.
The emperor is asked to execute Jiang Tiancheng immediately as a warning to others.
The emperor was trapped in the imperial study by a memorial regarding this matter. The old ministers also wanted him to remove Jiang Quwu from his post, but the emperor hesitated to make a decision.
The emperor was troubled by this matter.
After sending the old minister away, the emperor held his forehead, feeling exhausted, looking sad, sighing, and feeling very embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, drink some tea to moisten your throat." Huang Wanshun reminded.
Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyelids and looked at Huang Wanshun, "I need to go away the fire now, what's the use of drinking tea."
Huang Wanshun couldn't answer the conversation, so he could only shrink back and stand aside.
Those old ministers came today and still said the same words, asking him to deal with the imperial concubine and demote her status, saying that she was virtuous and incompetent and unworthy of the position of imperial concubine. The concubine position was her greatest blessing. A low-ranking family like the Jiang family relied entirely on the virtuous imperial concubine. After being favored, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. If everyone follows suit, but the emperor does not deal with it, it will be unfair and make people laugh.
But the emperor knows that Jin Xin is not the kind of person who relies on favors and is arrogant. She is careful in everything she does. She has suffered many grievances in the past, and the Jiang family has not treated her well. If he does not treat her well, who can she rely on? .
But Concubine Xuan came to him every day to ask him to deal with it, and the emperor was also in a dilemma.
"Is Concubine Xuan still kneeling at this moment?" The emperor asked with a frown.
"Not anymore, I've been invited back, but maybe I'll come over tomorrow." Huang Wanshun replied.
"I have already exiled him thousands of miles away. Life and death are unknown on the way there. If he can reach Yazhou alive, he may not be able to survive for long. Why must he be executed immediately?" The emperor said with some annoyance. .
Huang Wanshun also sighed, "This matter is indeed the Jiang family's fault. It's understandable that Concubine Xuan has resentment. It's just that for the sake of his father, Concubine Xuan had a fetus and raised it on the bed. If she continues If she knows that the emperor wants to execute Jiang Tiancheng, I'm afraid she will be even more excited."
The emperor stood up anxiously when he heard this, "The imperial concubine has fetal force, why didn't anyone report this to me?"
When Huang Wanshun heard this, he knelt down quickly, slapping his hands repeatedly, and said angrily, "The imperial concubine did not allow her to speak. She said it was her father's fault. She did not want the emperor to embarrass herself. After the fetus was induced, she kept it together and did not Let someone pass the news to the emperor. I blame the old slave for talking too much. Your Majesty, please don’t get angry in a hurry."
The emperor immediately stood up and hurried to Chengen Palace.
During the past two days, he was trapped in the Royal Palace or the Imperial Study Room. At night, he went to appease Concubine Xuan. It was not appropriate to go to Chengen Palace. He could only send a message to Jinxin to reassure her, but he did not expect that she would actually I couldn't even get out of bed.
Dr. Fang was checking Jin Xin's pulse for peace. After getting up, he said to Jin Xin, "The fetus has become much more stable in the past few days. As long as you get more rest, it will be fine."
After hearing this, Jin Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yesterday, the fetus moved frequently, and I am really worried. I have also been a little drowsy recently and feel weak when standing. Could it be affected by emotions?"
"It also has this effect, but the main reason is that the fetus is gradually growing up and needs more Qi and blood to nourish it. There is also fatigue caused by the Qi and blood not keeping up. Weichen will prescribe some more warming and nourishing prescriptions. Please feel free to worry about it. "
She nodded. It was more difficult to conceive this child than her first child. Her physical strength was often unable to keep up. Her vision would go dark when she walked, and she couldn't exert any energy at all. It was really draining her energy and energy.
At this time, word spread outside that the emperor had arrived.
Doctor Fang immediately stood up and knelt down to the emperor. Jin Xin also wanted to stand up, but the emperor hurriedly came in and signaled her not to get up, "Lie down and don't move."
Jin Xin then lay back down with peace of mind and looked up at the emperor, "Why is the emperor here now? Isn't he in the imperial study with the ministers?"
He was never free during the day. Jin Xin knew very well what was going on in the past two days. She knew it was not suitable for her to show up, so she simply didn't go.
When she felt unwell, she didn't allow anyone to tell the outside world, so she took care of herself. But just because she didn't tell others, it didn't mean she wouldn't let others tell her.
When Jin Xin saw the emperor coming, she knew that he was here for her own sake.
"Why did you hide it from me?" He was a bit reproachful. Looking at Jin Xin's pale face and the sadness between her brows, he felt heartbroken.
Jin Xin lowered her head and said bitterly, "I know I am guilty, and I don't want to embarrass the emperor. My father did such a thing, and I have no face to see the emperor again."
"It's not your fault. Besides, I also dealt with it and exiled you to Yazhou. You didn't plead for mercy, which shows that you are sensible."
In those excerpts, more or less, there were daughters in the harem. The emperor naturally knew what they were thinking, but he felt that Jin Xin was aggrieved and could not really listen to them.
Now that he saw Jin Xin moving her fetus because of this matter, he felt even more distressed.
Everyone in the room retreated. Jin Xin snuggled into the emperor's arms and sighed, "Your Majesty, since this matter is so embarrassing for the Emperor, then the Emperor can handle it. As long as the Emperor knows in his heart that I am wronged, I am not wronged." ."
These words made him startled. He held her shoulders and looked at her with a frown, "Do you want me to destroy you?"
How could Jin Xin think so? How could she lose her position because of the tongues of those old ministers after climbing up to this point?
"I would like to ask the emperor to issue an order to execute my father." Jin Xin said, stepping forward and kneeling down.
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.
The situation between himself and Jiang Quwu was put on a high level and if it was not resolved, the emperor would have to deal with one of them to calm the anger of the Pei family and silence the old minister.
Anyway, he was exiled to Yazhou, where there are many venomous snakes, insects, ants, poisonous miasma, and extremely sweltering heat. Even if his body and bones arrived alive, he might not survive there. Why not just let this matter be solved and count him in it? I dedicated myself to Jiang’s family.
"You...are you so upset because of this matter that you made yourself sick?" The emperor looked at her and seemed to have made a major decision. He made a difficult choice, which moved his face.
Jin Xin choked and sobbed, tears falling down her face, and she stepped forward and threw herself into the emperor's arms, "I am the emperor's person and cannot embarrass the emperor. However, I am also a daughter. Naturally, I do not want the emperor to deal with my father. But in the face of justice, Your Majesty, it is better to deal with it fairly, even if I deprive you of my position, I will not complain."
The emperor sighed and supported her body, "You are always so tolerant, which makes me feel more distressed."
Jin Xin was nestled in his arms, and the baby in his belly suddenly bumped, causing him to feel fetal movement. The emperor was startled by the fetal movement and raised his hand to cover it.
The child turned over again, and Jin Xin felt her belly tighten and gasped.
The emperor laughed when he saw this, "This child feels sorry for you, please don't let me hurt your heart."
