The emperor's face was very ugly, but he knew that he was in the wrong. After all, it was the order he gave yesterday that made her suffer.
He was angry at the moment and wanted to let her stay in the palace temporarily until the prince's matter was settled, so as not to threaten him by entering the palace with the princess' matter.
But he didn't expect that Jin Xin almost gave birth to an accident last night.
The emperor stood at the door, but Lianrong stopped him and refused to let him in. Her face was full of anger, and she had long been prepared to be punished by the emperor, but she was very dissatisfied with this matter.
The situation was so critical yesterday, and the guards at the door refused to let her go. If the empress hadn't been lucky enough to escape from death, she would have been a corpse today.
Huang Wanshun said with a straight face, pretending to be serious, "Miss Lianrong, when the emperor comes, he will naturally make the decision for the empress."
Lianrong snorted and said nothing.
Huang Wanshun saw that Lianrong refused to accept this trick, and could only use his eyes to summon the palace attendants to come forward and carry Lianrong away. Lianrong struggled, but Huang Wanshun whispered, "The queen has just given birth, and she is at her weakest. You have to endure the grievance. When the emperor goes in to see her, he will naturally care for his wife, so don’t be ignorant."
When Lianrong heard this, she was not happy for her, but sad for her. She was still distressed by what she had experienced last night. The emperor's pity was nothing. She was framed so obviously, and the emperor didn't believe her.
Accompanying her along the way, Lianrong witnessed how the empress went from being a bed-warming maid to what she is today. The empress has never been in despair, and she is always striving to do better.
Last night, the empress actually thought of letting her go. Lianrong was so anxious at that time, she resented these people, and even more resented the emperor.
Now that the emperor is here, no matter how much comfort and reward he gives, does the empress care about it?
Lianrong's eyes were red, and Huang Wanshun clicked his tongue helplessly, giving a slight warning.
Naturally, the emperor could not be prevented from visiting his empress.
Jin Xin was resting with her eyes closed at this time. She had heard the noise outside just now. The imperial doctor asked her not to sleep first to avoid postpartum bleeding. Jin Xin kept her spirits up and waited, but the emperor came.
The princess was carried to the wet nurse. The wet nurse who was preparing for the princess was holding the princess in her arms. When she saw the emperor coming, she immediately knelt down and held the princess in her arms.
The emperor looked at the soft princess under the quilt with a smile, and said with a smile, "Look at the princess, although she is just born, her head is not small."
"The princess is indeed tall. She is almost as tall as a full-month-old child." The wet nurse said with a smile.
It looks like he is taller in this hug, no wonder life is difficult.
The emperor looked at Jin Xin who was concentrating with her eyes closed. Her face was not good, she was very pale, her lips were not red at all, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly. The emperor knew that she was not asleep, but just didn't want to talk to him.
The emperor had an embarrassed smile on his face. He stepped forward, sat next to her, and reached out to grab her hand. Jin Xin withdrew her hand coldly without opening her eyes.
The emperor was startled, his hands were empty. Seeing Jin Xin's indifferent attitude, refusing to even look at him, he felt uncomfortable.
He still smiled and sat beside her bed, reaching out to grab her hand again. Jin Xin withdrew again, got into the quilt, and turned over, not intending to pay attention to the emperor.
The emperor sighed and said, "You are right to be angry. I have made you sad. I will thoroughly investigate what happened last night and I will definitely give you justice."
Jin Xin still didn't speak.
The emperor was not in a hurry and continued, "I really didn't know you were giving birth yesterday. If I had known, I would never have let you face it alone."
"Really? My concubine is about to give birth, which is what happens in these days. If the emperor has intentions, how can he not understand and be considerate of my concubine?" Jin Xin opened her eyes, her eyes were cold, and her eyes no longer had the attachment and tenderness towards him. It was so strange that it made him panic.
He reached out again and held her hand, "I have no words to argue, but I am the emperor, and the matter of Prince Tu and Princess Tu will have a great impact. If I don't deal with you, Prince Tu will take the opportunity to attack and affect the war ahead. Soldiers How can the great situation we have established be affected by this matter?"
Jin Xin didn't want to continue speaking those high-sounding and considerate words, so she withdrew her hand, "Then the emperor chooses to make my concubine feel wronged, right?"
"This..." He was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
Seeing that he couldn't answer, Jin Xin stared at him. Perhaps this gaze was too intrusive, giving a glimpse of his inner feelings for her. He said he would not wrong her, but he would care about her and give her honor. , status, honor, but these things are often the most fragile. As his emotions flow, all of them can disappear.
It seems that he is hypocritical.
He felt embarrassed and ashamed that she had stripped him naked and seen through her.
He frowned and said helplessly, "I am the emperor, and I need to weigh many things."
"Concubines are also one of the things that the emperor weighs," she said.
What she said was true, but she meant that she no longer had any expectations for the emperor.
The emperor was a little nervous when he heard this. He cared about Jin Xin, but he felt that he was the emperor and had to sacrifice something in everything he did. Jin Xin should understand him.
"You are not, you are my beloved woman." He said seriously.
Hearing this, Jin Xin sat up slowly. The emperor thought she had figured it out and stepped forward to support her, but she gently put his hand away. She wanted to get out of bed, but he held her down.
"What are you doing?" he asked with a frown.
"I request the emperor that I will no longer be favored in this life and stay away from right and wrong. I only wish to grow up with my children in this palace wall." Jin Xin said seriously and indifferently.
The emperor looked at her in disbelief when he heard this, "Do you know what you will face if you do this?"
Jin Xin raised her eyes with a nonchalant expression, "At least I'm still alive."
This look really hurt him. He sighed helplessly, "I can understand that you just gave birth and are emotionally unstable. It's my fault. I will make it up to you. Since you don't want to see me, I'll come back in a few days." It’s up to you.”
After saying that, he stood up helplessly, took two steps, paused, and wanted to wait for her to speak to save him, but Jin Xin turned around and lay back down, covering herself with the quilt.
He had no choice but to go out.
Before the emperor went out, he ordered someone to wait here to ensure the safety of the empress. He also asked someone to check on the guard who sent the message last night and strictly investigate and interrogate her.
This morning, news spread that Concubine De Gui gave birth to a princess safely and reached the harem.
The Queen was in the Queen Mother's Palace at this time, so she naturally went to the Queen Mother's Palace with this news. She finished speaking anxiously, waiting for the Queen Mother to make suggestions.
Seeing the anxious look on the queen's face, the Queen Mother sighed helplessly, "You still don't have a calm temper. The Ai family has already dealt with what needs to be dealt with. If it doesn't work, you still have a concubine to take care of it. What are you afraid of?"
The Queen Mother's words made the Queen feel relieved, but thinking that Concubine De Gui had given birth to a child so safely, she was really lucky.
"Aunt, Concubine De Gui has given birth safely, so we can only replace her with someone else." The queen said with a little regret.
The Queen Mother was not sorry, this would allow her to give birth to a daughter safely. There was no hope for the eldest prince to take her away, and she could only rely on Rong Bin's belly.
