Chapter 227 Rumors are a knife
Chapter 227 Rumors are a knife
Two days later, the news about Aunt Hua spread more and more, and her identity was gradually known to the people.
Rumors began to spread that Imperial Noble Consort Dehui had used the Northern Di people to assassinate Xiao Mo.
"Jintang, your trick of spreading rumors to kill people without them knowing is really useful. Now the whole world knows that Imperial Noble Consort Dehui wants to kill me to silence me. When we leave the capital together, she won't say anything."
Ye Jintang, who was eating cold cake in Yingchun Pavilion, looked at Xiao Mo in a good mood.
"Women value their reputation the most. When I was in the Marquis' Mansion, I used this trick to make Old Madam Ye obedient."
"Has Imperial Noble Consort Dehui made any moves recently? With so many rumors against her, she can't be completely unresponsive, right?"
"She wanted to react, but no matter what she said or did, it was wrong. In the past two days, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui has been claiming to be sick, saying that she and Nanny Hua had been master and servant for decades, and suddenly she was gone, and she felt very sad."
"Except for some extremely important memorials, all other memorials are piled up in the Imperial Study. They are said to wait until Imperial Noble Consort Dehui recovers from her illness before reviewing them."
Ye Jintang was surprised to hear Xiao Mo say this.
"Does the Emperor not review any memorials now? Does he leave all matters to Imperial Noble Consort Dehui?"
She had a feeling that Noble Consort Dehui was a bit like Wu Zetian.
If Emperor Jingdi continued to ignore state affairs, it would not be impossible for Imperial Noble Consort Dehui to slowly place her own people in the court and then undermine Emperor Jingdi's power in the future.
"Your Majesty is not in the mood to care about those trivial matters in the court right now. This morning, someone presented a group of beauties to the palace. Among them, there is a beauty named Song who is extremely beautiful and deeply loved by the emperor."
At this point, Xiao Mo showed a sneer on his face. His son was almost assassinated, but the father still had the mood to choose a beauty. It can be seen how cold the relationship between them is.
"When will the people arranged by the prince submit a petition to ask us to leave the capital?"
"It has already been arranged. As for the events of the next few days, I estimate that the memorial will reach Imperial Noble Consort Dehui first. I wonder what other tricks she has to stop us from leaving."
The life of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui in the palace was really hard at the moment.
That day she went to see Emperor Jing. Although Emperor Jing did not reprimand her openly, he slapped her hard.
She hasn't shown up because the slap marks on her face have not disappeared.
If she went out with the slap mark on her face, she would be laughed at to death by others.
"My Lady Imperial Concubine, there have been six memorials to the Emperor begging him to allow the Prince of Qin to go to his fiefdom."
"Xiao Mo wants to leave, but it's not that easy."
Imperial Noble Consort Dehui took a look at the memorial handed over by Che Xiang, and her expression was as ugly as it could be.
She knew very well that if Xiao Mo was allowed to leave the capital alive, even if he was disabled, he would be able to stir up trouble outside.
Only by eradicating the problem completely can she rest assured.
"Your Highness, please think carefully about how to respond to these memorials."
"No need to go back, just leave it here. It's only the beginning of August and he wants to leave early. He probably knows that the later he leaves, the more dangerous it will be to go to Ningchuan Prefecture."
"Then I will drag him to death. Either he waits until October to leave, or he waits until next year."
Imperial Noble Consort Dehui threw the memorial in her hand onto the table and continued, "If this matter is delayed until next year, it will be hard to say whether Xiao Mo can go to the fiefdom."
Imperial Noble Consort Dehui wanted to drag Xiao Mo to death, but Xiao Mo was also prepared. Memorials about his trip to Ningchuan Prefecture fell on the table in the imperial study like snowflakes for several days in a row, and it was difficult for Imperial Noble Consort Dehui to ignore them.
Faced with so many memorials, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui could only quickly think of ways to deal with them.
Just as Imperial Noble Consort Dehui was feeling upset looking at a table full of memorials, Che Xiang came in hurriedly from outside.
"My Lady Imperial Concubine, there was news just now from outside the palace that the Princess of Qi suddenly had an attack and it was very dangerous. She wanted to ask the imperial physician in the palace to go to the Prince of Qi's mansion to take a look."
"Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get the imperial physician over. The Princess of Qi is pregnant with the Emperor's eldest grandson. If anything goes wrong, who can afford it?"
Che Xiang responded and ran out.
Just as she reached the door of the imperial study, she was suddenly called back by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui.
"Send someone to inform the Danyang Marquis's Mansion and the Princess of Qin right now. Isn't it said that the Princess of Qin is an excellent doctor? Then let her go to protect the emperor's grandson."
Che Xiang was obviously stunned. She never expected that Imperial Noble Consort Dehui would make such arrangements.
However, time was urgent at the moment, and Che Xiang had no time to think about it and could only agree to them one by one.
Noble Consort Dehui, who had a sad face just now, now had a smug smile on her face.
"This is what they call a boat that reaches a mountain will naturally straighten itself out, and when the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, there is another village."
It was clearly a dead end, but as luck would have it, Ye Yanran suddenly took action.
No matter what the result is, she will let Ye Jintang stay and treat Ye Yanran's body. As for how long it will take, that depends on her.
Thinking of this, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui finally showed a long-lost smile. Things have been going wrong recently, so finally there is something to be happy about.
At the same time, in Prince Qi's mansion, Ye Yanran was lying on the delivery bed in pain. Waves of severe pain in her stomach made her miserable.
"Su Shu, why hasn't the prince come back yet? Have you sent anyone to look for him?"
"I have already sent someone out to look for the prince. I think they are on their way back. You must hold on, madam. The imperial physician will be here soon."
"I can't do it anymore. Please call the midwife in. I'm afraid I'm about to give birth."
Ye Yanran only felt a warm current flowing down her legs, and she vaguely guessed that the baby in her belly was probably anxious to come out.
Just now she felt stomach discomfort, so she asked the midwife to check her out. The midwife told her that she should try to preserve the fetus if possible.
As the saying goes, if you live on the seventh month, you may die on the eighth month. Right now, her period is right between the seventh and eighth months. If anything happens to the grandson she gives birth to, how will she survive?
She couldn't delay any longer. If she delayed too long, not only would the child be in danger, but she would also be in danger.
Ye Yanran was feeling very confused at the moment, and she really hoped that Xiao Yi could stay with her and give her some comfort.
But at this critical juncture, Xiao Yi disappeared.
Without having to think too much, Ye Yanran could probably guess that he was probably enjoying the favor of a beautiful woman in some paradise.
"Xiao Yi, you bastard, if you don't come back, I will kill all your concubines after I give birth to the child."
Ye Yanran was sweating profusely from the pain. The midwife came in to check on her and was horrified to see that she was bleeding.
"Your Highness has seen blood. I'm afraid you can't keep the baby. You have to give birth."
"I know."
"You must protect the little grandson no matter what. Don't let him get hurt."
"I will do my best."
The midwives naturally knew that since the little grandson of the emperor was born safely today, they would naturally get a lot of benefits.
If anything happens to the little grandson, it would be hard to say whether they can walk out of the Prince Qi's Palace alive.
