Chapter 125 Only the Promised Share
Although Yinzhen didn't say anything at the moment, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. There was no sound in the whole room, and the palace maids and eunuchs didn't even dare to breathe.
“Your Majesty…” The Queen spoke first. It seemed that she was pleading for Noble Lady Fucha, but in fact she was condemning her. “Noble Lady Fucha was just anxious to have a child and was confused for a moment. Moreover, now that she has lost her child, it can be considered a punishment. Your Majesty, please don’t blame her…”
"Lost the child?" Yinzhen's voice was so cold that ice chips could fall out. "She acted on her own, so foolishly that she drank the medicine recklessly and killed the prince who should have been born safely. How dare you ask me to forgive her?!"
"What's more, no one in Noble Lady Fucha's room went to ask for the imperial physician at first. Maybe she was afraid that the imperial physician would find out that there was something wrong with the fetus in her belly!" Once Yinzhen convicted someone in his heart, that person would be guilty no matter how innocent he was.
In addition, when he looked at the child, he thought of Chun Yuan back then... But Chun Yuan was a pure and kind person. The reason why she had a difficult birth and a stillbirth was because of palpitations, fear, and guilt. How could Noble Lady Fucha be compared to Chun Yuan? !
"Then how does His Majesty intend to deal with Noble Lady Fucha? Normally, Noble Lady Fucha should be promoted to a concubine after she reaches the age of 18. Now that she has lost her child, she must be in great grief. It would be better if His Majesty rescinds the order to promote her to a concubine, which would be a lesson for Noble Lady Fucha." The Queen advised, "Besides, His Majesty should not be too angry about this matter, lest it damages the dragon's body."
Yinzhen sneered: "She did such a stupid thing, and she still wants to be promoted to a concubine? I am showing mercy by not lowering her rank! Su Peisheng! Tell the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give her only the promised share!"
"Yes." Su Peisheng bowed in response.
Xia Dongchun watched from the side. Although it was Noble Lady Fucha who was punished, she couldn't help feeling scared when she saw Yinzhen's cold look.
Today it is Noble Lady Fucha, but who can say for sure if it will be me tomorrow?
To serve the king is like serving a tiger. This saying is really true.
At this time, An Lingrong also came: "I pay my respects to the Emperor and Empress. I was not feeling well last night and took a tranquilizer and went to sleep. I didn't know that such a big thing happened in the palace. I am late, which is really my fault. Please forgive me, Emperor and Empress."
"How can you be blamed for this?" Seeing that Yinzhen didn't say anything, the Queen gave An Lingrong a way out, "You have always been in poor health, and I am really distressed to see you."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." An Lingrong responded again.
Xia Dongchun watched them go back and forth, laughing in her heart - didn't she hear it? Unless An Lingrong was deaf, with such a big noise last night and they were so close, even if she drank the tranquilizer, after Yinzhen came in the middle of the night, would Baojuan not wake An Lingrong up? Wouldn't she tell An Lingrong?
However, looking at the expressions of the two of them, Xia Dongchun was just thinking about it. She would not be so stupid as to expose Yinzhen when he was feeling upset. Otherwise, if they started arguing again, Yinzhen might get angry with her.
"Let the Queen handle the matter of this child." Yinzhen didn't expect that after rushing here in the middle of the night, he would get such a result. He didn't even want to look at the child and Noble Lady Fucha. He left with his men after saying this.
"Noble Lady Zhao has stayed with me all night. Now that the matter is over, you should go back and have a rest." After the Queen sent Yinzhen away, she turned around and said to Xia Dongchun.
Xia Dongchun was also happy to go back and rest. She had been up all night and was really exhausted.
After Xia Dongchun left, the Queen said to An Lingrong, "Sit down and talk."
Jianqiu went out and dismissed everyone, then went to arrange the child's affairs. Only the Queen and An Lingrong were left in the room, while Huichun and Baojuan were guarding the door.
"Are you relieved now?" The Queen looked at An Lingrong, "Since I have promised you, I will not break my promise."
"Your Majesty, you have been so kind and generous that I cannot repay you enough." An Lingrong looked at the Queen with bright eyes and an irrepressible smile on her face. "Your Majesty told me that day that Noble Lady Fucha would never become a concubine, but I didn't believe it. It's my fault."
"She took medicine recklessly during her pregnancy, which not only harmed herself, but also killed the prince who could have been born healthy. It's good that the emperor is not angry with her. Could it be that he still expects her to ascend to the position of concubine and become the head of Yanxi Palace?" The queen also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately...
It turned out that Noble Lady Fucha was pregnant with a prince. If she gave birth safely, he would inevitably become a serious threat in the future.
"What do you think of the main hall of Yanx Palace?" The Queen looked around and asked An Lingrong.
An Lingrong didn't dare to look around, but after hesitating for a moment, she said, "The main hall is where the Empress of Yanxi Palace lives. I dare not speak nonsense."
"What is there to be afraid of saying? Who knows, it might be you who will live in this main palace someday." How could the Queen not see the yearning and desire in An Lingrong's eyes?
An Lingrong guessed that this was what the Queen meant, but when she actually heard it, she was still excited.
The Queen of the Main Seat...
After the New Year, Sister Wan will only be promoted to a concubine. Does the Queen also plan to promote her to the position of concubine?
After all, the Noble Lady Fucha who was originally promised to be here now has completely lost hope.
When she came, she heard outside that the emperor would not only not promote Noble Lady Fucha to a concubine, but also only allow the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give Noble Lady Fucha the promised share. In this way, after the New Year, if she became a noble lady, wouldn't Noble Lady Fucha be inferior to her?
Thinking about Noble Lady Fucha's attitude towards her before, An Lingrong felt a lot better.
Xia Dongchun returned to his room and went to see his daughter first, then went back to the inner room and lay down to rest.
Speaking of which, Noble Lady Fucha was quite unlucky. Although no one knew what method the Queen used, she was definitely involved in this matter.
Xia Dongchun thought that if Noble Lady Fucha had given birth safely without any accidents, she would have been able to gain a firm foothold and her arrogance in the future would have been comparable to that of Concubine Hua.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.
