Chapter 119 Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace – Gao Xiyue 19

To be honest, the emperor certainly wanted to depose Langya, but as the empress dowager said, Langya was not only his queen, but also Yonglian's biological mother. Moreover, there was one thing that the empress dowager didn't know, that is, he suspected that he had been poisoned by the secret medicine of the Fucha family. If Langya was really deposed, the emperor was afraid that he would never be able to get the antidote for the secret medicine he was poisoned by.

However, the Queen Mother could not let the Queen Mother know this secret. After all, he was only the Queen Mother's adopted son, and there was another Queen Mother's biological son, Prince Guo, outside the palace. If the Queen Mother knew that he had been drugged and was infertile, she would most likely spread the matter in order to let her own son succeed to the throne. What's worse, she might even kill her only two sons.

The emperor, who was afraid of the consequences, could not directly depose Langya as he wished. Moreover, in order to prevent the empress dowager from discovering the trick, the emperor had to continue to protect Langya in front of the empress dowager.

"As the Empress said, Langya is Yonglian's biological mother after all. And I have investigated privately that the Empress was merely negligent in not noticing the Yonghuang incident. She did not send anyone to instigate a malicious attempt to depose Yonghuang. It was the servants who acted on their own initiative."

"Besides, since Langya married into the royal family, she has given birth to my children and taken care of my affairs for eight years. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. I really can't make up my mind!"

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and looked at the "sincere" Emperor below, her heart full of doubts. When did the Emperor have true feelings for the Queen? From the beginning of the selection until the ascension to the throne, the Queen had never been favored. If it weren't for the Queen's extraordinary means to control the Emperor's offspring, it would be uncertain who would be the Queen now.

The Empress Dowager firmly believed that the Empress controlled the Emperor's offspring. Not to mention the methods used by the previous Empress that she had experienced herself, the fact that Concubine Hui and Ruyi, two favored concubines since they entered the palace, were still pregnant was enough to illustrate the problem.

However, the emperor was obviously on guard against her, and the queen mother knew that she couldn't get the answer she wanted to ask, so she could only persuade the emperor: "Since the emperor believes that the queen's crime is not so serious, I will not say anything more."

"However, Your Majesty should be more disciplined towards the Empress. The previous Empress's experience is still a lesson for you. If Your Majesty had not been so lucky, the bowl of mung bean soup from the previous Empress would have killed Your Majesty long ago."

Speaking of mung bean soup, the emperor thought of the rumor again, and his mood worsened. He spoke seriously to the empress dowager: "I understand. I will never let what happened happen again. As for the empress, I will order her to be confined to Changchun Palace."

"As for the palace affairs, leave them to Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui has been managing the palace affairs very well these days!"

The Queen Mother mentioned the matter of the Queen in order to take over the power in the palace legitimately. Her son and daughter were still young, and it would be better if they had the power in the palace. However, she did not expect that the Emperor would directly decide that Concubine Hui would be in charge of the power in the palace. The Queen Mother was somewhat dissatisfied, but seeing that the Emperor had already made the final decision, she did not want to reveal her thoughts and had to agree.

After the incident with Yonghuang, the emperor did not dare to hand Yonghuang over to Langya to continue raising him. On the one hand, he asked the imperial physician to intensify the treatment, and on the other hand, he was thinking about changing Yonghuang's adoptive mother. He completely ignored Ruyi, so the emperor found Xiyue and wanted to hand Yonghuang over to Xiyue to raise him.

Of course Xiyue would not agree. He didn't raise him when he was smart, and left him to me when he was stupid. I am not a rag collector, not to mention that I watched him break this rag on purpose.

"Your Majesty, Xiyue is very busy right now and really doesn't have the energy to take care of the eldest prince. It would be better to promote Concubine Chun to Concubine Chun and let Concubine Chun raise her."

"Princess Chun has a kind and gentle personality. I believe that with the care of Concubine Chun, the situation of the eldest prince will surely improve."

The emperor had been mentally prepared for Xiyue's rejection, so it wasn't surprising. After all, that was Xiyue's personality. If she wanted something, she would ask for it directly. If she didn't say it, it meant she didn't want it. The fact that Xiyue had never asked him for custody of the eldest prince in all these years meant that Xiyue didn't want to raise the eldest prince.

Fortunately, Xiyue gave another solution, and the emperor thought it was a good solution and agreed.

Xiyue didn't know whether Su Lujun was happy or not that she was promoted from a noble lady to a concubine and got the custody of Yonghuang, but Ruyi was very unhappy to hear the news. After all, in her heart, Su Lujun was not worthy of being on an equal footing with her, and the eldest prince was originally raised by her by the emperor. Ruyi felt very unhappy that even though she didn't want it, she was still very unhappy that something was taken away by someone else.

No one in the palace cared about Ruyi's unhappiness. Even the most brainless Ruyi who was bragging about惢心 and A Ruo who could always accurately express Ruyi's inner thoughts didn't notice it. Xiyue knew that she guessed it because Ruyi's face-slapping points increased.

After Xiyue returned to the palace from the emperor, Moxin, who accompanied Xiyue to see the emperor, couldn't help but remind Xiyue: "Why don't you agree to let the emperor raise the eldest prince and take up the position of the eldest son's foster mother first?"

Xiyue knew that Moxin was truly thinking about herself, and did not hide her true thoughts: "Moxin, I don't like the eldest prince, and I don't want to raise the child born by Fucha."

Mo Xin was truly thinking about Xi Yue: "I'm sorry to say something disrespectful. The Emperor is a playboy and amorous. Even if he dotes on the Empress now, he can't guarantee that he won't change his mind in the future. If the Empress has no children, even as a noble concubine, her position cannot be guaranteed to be stable."

Xiyue smiled and did not refute Moxin's words. She patted Moxin's hand and explained.

"I have been weak since childhood and have a cold. If I take the risk of getting pregnant, it is likely that both of us will die."

"I am not willing to take risks and I will not force my own children, but if there is a chance to raise another concubine's child, I am willing to do so. However, this concubine must be someone I trust and admire."

When Xiyue said this, she had already noticed someone standing outside the palace. She knew it was Hailan through her mental perception, so she deliberately raised her voice and spoke to Hailan outside, even deliberately emphasizing the four words "trust and appreciation".

Hailan originally wanted to come and chat with Xiyue. She would come to see Xiyue whenever she had nothing to do over the years. After learning that Xiyue was called away by the emperor, Hailan was worried that the emperor would make things difficult for Xiyue, so she quickly brought people to Xiyue, but she never expected to hear the news that Xiyue could not get pregnant and have children.

In Hai Lan's heart, Xiyue is the best sister in the world who treats her best. She also listened to Moxin's words. She felt that Moxin was right. The emperor was a heartless man. If Xiyue had no children and her beauty faded with age, the emperor would definitely no longer favor Xiyue.

If that time really comes, all the other concubines will have children, except Xiyue, and her old age will be miserable.

"Sister is only willing to raise children of people she trusts. If other concubines in the harem give birth to children, sister will definitely not be willing to raise them."

"But if it's my child, I'm sure my sister would still be willing to raise him." Hai Lan left with a heavy heart. After thinking for a night, Hai Lan finally made up her mind to work hard to win favor and give birth to a son to support Xiyue in her old age.

"My sister can't have children, so my child is my sister's child!"
