Chapter 947 I Can’t Afford to Lose This Person
Jiang Fenghua didn't expect that Xie Hongrui was willing to go with Qin Yunyan the first time they met. She was usually lenient to the royal heirs and never criticized them harshly. She tried her best to be what a legitimate mother should be. Almost no one could find fault with her in these aspects.
Xie Hongrui's eyes were full of vigilance, as if he was very afraid of her. A child's eyes couldn't lie, he was just afraid of her.
Seeing this, Xie Shang said to Xie Hongrui, "Rui'er, come to your father."
Xie Hongrui ran towards Xie Shang very affectionately, "Father, Ruirui wants to go find Mother. Ruirui misses Mother. Father, can you take Ruirui to find Mother? Ruirui will always be good and will recite poems to Father."
When Song Qing was mentioned, anger flashed in Xie Shang's eyes, but the child in front of him was still young, so he didn't vent his anger on the child in the end. "Rui'er and the Queen Mother have returned to the palace. When your father is free, he will go and listen to Rui'er recite. Rui'er must be an obedient child, then your father will like her."
"Why can't Ruirui be with my mother? I want to find my mother." Xie Hongrui had tears in his eyes.
Qin Yunyan also slowly moved to the front of the emperor and said in a gentle voice: "It is natural for a child to miss his mother! It is normal for the Second Prince to miss his mother since he is still so young."
Xie Shang didn't even look at her. His eyes unconsciously glanced in Jiang Fenghua's direction, wanting to see her expression, but he was disappointed. She was still calm and indifferent.
"You are my prince, and princes are not allowed to shed tears." Xie Shang's tone revealed an authority that could not be resisted.
Xie Hongrui was startled, "Rui Rui, be obedient. Father, please don't dislike Rui Rui. Rui Rui, don't cry."
For a moment, Jiang Fenghua didn't understand what the emperor meant. Was he asking Xie Hongrui to go back to Kunning Palace with her? He wanted her to support Xie Hongrui. What would happen to Gao Qingtong then?
She said, "Let the Second Prince and the Imperial Concubine return to the palace. After all, the Second Prince will be living with the Imperial Concubine in the future, so he needs to get used to being around her."
The emperor just ordered Concubine Gao to raise the baby last night, and today he sent her to Kunning Palace. What will the concubines in the harem think of Gao Qingtong?
Besides, she didn't have the energy to take care of so many children. Fortunately, her children were taken care of carefully by Lian Ye and others, which relieved her of a lot of worries.
Xie Shang asked, "Can the Imperial Concubine take good care of the Second Prince? Yu'er and Xiu'er have been well-educated by the Empress. The Second Prince is very intelligent, and I believe the Empress can also cultivate him into a talented person. If he is sent back to Concubine Song, Concubine Song will be even less able to take care of the Second Prince in her current condition."
Jiang Fenghua thought to himself: Does the emperor know that Song Qing is crazy?
Qin Yunyan watched from the side and thought to herself: It turns out that the emperor is good to the second prince. If the second prince could be with her, would she be able to see the emperor often?
Qin Yunyan suddenly said, "I also read the Four Books and Five Classics when I was at home. Why don't I help the Empress take care of the Second Prince? I think the Emperor and Empress are busy with state affairs all day long, so they shouldn't bother with the Second Prince. He's still so young, and I will definitely do my best to take good care of him. He seems to like me very much."
She said this without any fear of slipping her tongue. What status did she have to support a prince? Her desire to seduce the emperor was clearly written on her face.
Gao Qingtong said quickly, "I will definitely teach the Second Prince well. It's just right that the Second Prince and the Second Princess are together, so it's good for them to keep each other company. I have already had people decorate the Second Prince's study and bedroom. I promise that something like what happened today will not happen again."
If something happens to the second prince again this time, the emperor will definitely not forgive her. According to Gao Qingtong's idea, she is unwilling to raise Song Qing's child, but she also cannot let the queen be tired, and she will not give other women the opportunity to get close to the emperor and make the queen sad.
There was also a flash of disbelief in Xie Shang's eyes. He saw Bai Zhiyan's face full of flattery. Ever since she approached him as a member of the Bai family, she had never hidden her feelings.
Ruan Ruan has been deceiving him again since she regained her memory. She regained her memory on the day a flower grew out of nowhere between her eyebrows. There was nothing wrong with her body, and even the birthday gift she gave him was so perfunctory.
Xie Shang was filled with disappointment. Even if he made her the queen, would she still not forgive him? Or was there someone else in her heart? Was that person Xiao Yu?
Xie Shang said, "Then let's leave the Second Prince to Miss Bai first."
"Your Majesty, do you know what you are saying? With what status does she have, how can she keep the Second Prince by her side? I don't agree." Jiang Fenghua was shocked, with a hint of disappointment and confusion in his voice. He clearly knew her true identity.
"I first asked the Queen to take her back to the palace, but she was unwilling." Xie Shang was holding back his anger, and his attitude suddenly became bad.
Jiang Fenghua paused. She had refused because she wanted Gao Qingtong to take him back. "It's not entirely Concubine Gao's fault that the Second Prince went missing. Xie Hongrui sneaked out of Yongle Palace while the palace maids were away. It was raining so hard outside and everyone was hiding in the house to avoid the rain, so they didn't stop him. The Emperor didn't investigate the matter thoroughly and punished everyone in Yongle Palace.
Since Bai Zhiyan saved the Second Prince, why did she send him to the Imperial Study instead of sending him back to Yongle Palace? Or why did she ask the palace servants to inform me, and why did she go directly to the Imperial Study?
On the way here, she asked Lian Ye for help. The person next to her sent by Lian Ye fell asleep in the palace for unknown reasons, and was obviously drugged by Bai Zhiyan.
Gao Qingtong said: "I will take the Second Prince back with me. I will take good care of him. Your Majesty, please trust me."
Xie Shang looked at Jiang Fenghua, as if in anger, and said, "I have made up my mind. Let Miss Bai take him first."
Jiang Fenghua straightened her back and looked back at Xie Shang. What she couldn't understand was that Xie Shang would agree to hand over the second prince to Qin Yunyan. At that moment, she was very disappointed with the emperor's decision.
She even forgot to greet him and turned around and walked out of the imperial study.
All they could hear was Xie Shang's angry roar from inside, "If you can't take good care of the Second Prince, I'll hold you accountable. All of you, leave."
Soon, Gao Qingtong was also driven out. There was a loud rumbling sound in the sky, and the rain did not stop. She braved the rain to catch up with the queen and asked, "Why did the queen leave so suddenly?"
Jiang Fenghua suppressed the anger in her heart and said calmly: "Staying here will only cause more quarrels. I can't afford to lose this person in front of outsiders."
"I have never seen the Emperor and the Empress quarrel. The Emperor has never even said a harsh word to the Empress. What's wrong with the Emperor this time? How could Your Majesty compromise so easily this time? If you really leave the Second Prince to Bai Zhiyan's care, wouldn't it be a waste of your help to win over Your Majesty when she has so many evil intentions? Your Majesty, think carefully. Bai Zhiyan is clearly trying to seduce the Emperor."
"If the emperor doesn't want her to seduce him, he won't have the chance. The key is whether the man himself wants to." Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice.
Gao Qingtong added, "Your Majesty, please think of a way to drive her out, or execute her directly."
Jiang Fenghua was just thinking, if Qin Yunyan in the previous life could become Xie Shang's favorite concubine, would Qin Yunyan in this life also become Xie Shang's favorite concubine after going around in circles? Their fates had been intertwined for a long time, and they couldn't escape it no matter how they changed.
And she seemed to be walking on the same path as Su Tingwan. Could it be that all of them could not escape the arrangement of fate, and the Great Zhou would perish sooner or later?
