Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

"How did you come?"

Seeing Xu Zhiyuan, Ye Jingyu frowned slightly.

Xu Zhiyuan said with red eyes: "I heard that the emperor was seriously injured and was very anxious. Today I learned that the emperor was awake, so I immediately came to visit."

Ye Jingyu said softly: "It's time for you to miss me."

Xu Zhiyuan stood beside the bed with lowered eyes and said respectfully: "The emperor saved me from danger, so naturally I care about the emperor."

Ye Jingyu glanced at her. "I'm fine."

Xu Zhiyuan bit her lip and asked in a low voice: "The emperor was so seriously injured, how could he be fine? The emperor's wound must be very painful, right?"

"It doesn't matter, I can bear it."

Ye Jingyu leaned on the soft pillow, his eyes half open and half closed, and he obviously didn't have much interest in talking.

Xu Zhiyuan glanced at him secretly and asked: "I heard that the one who stabbed the emperor... was Concubine Yao?"

Ye Jingyu's long eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes became a little colder.

"Nonsense, how could Concubine Yao stab me?"

Feeling angry, Ye Jingyu began to pant again.

Xu Zhiyuan quickly knelt beside the bed and helped Ye Jingyu gently caress his chest.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I don't believe that Concubine Yao would do such a thing. Someone must have ulterior motives and create this rumor."

Ye Jingyu took a breath and said in a calm voice: "It's true. I was injured by an assassin and it has nothing to do with Concubine Yao. You come from a family of officials, so you should have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Don't follow others' opinions."

Xu Zhiyuan said in a coquettish voice: "Your Majesty's lesson is very true. I, my concubine, should take it to heart."

Ye Jingyu closed his eyes.

"That's fine."

What happens to Yin Qingxuan is a matter between the two of them and cannot be slandered by outsiders.

Suddenly, Yin Qingxuan's black and white eyes and her smiling face suddenly came to mind, and there was another throbbing pain in her heart.

Would she be disappointed if she knew she wasn't dead?

If something like this happened, the Thirteenth Emperor's Uncle would definitely hunt her down everywhere, and now that the capital was closed, how was she living these days?

While thinking about it, Li Defu came in again to deliver a message.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ling and Young Master Chu are here."

Ye Jingyu was a little upset.

As soon as the Red Flame Soldiers withdrew, they heard that they were coming, and the news was quite good.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Let them all come in."

"Yes."

After a while, Concubine Ling walked in from outside.

She knelt on the ground respectfully and gave Ye Jingyu a big salute.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for allowing me to go home for the funeral. I have taken care of the housework. Then I heard that the Emperor was injured, but I couldn't find a way to see him. Now that I see that the Emperor's dragon body has recovered, I can feel at ease."

After experiencing the death of her father, Su Caiwei suddenly became much calmer. She was no longer impetuous in the past, and she lost all those heavy makeups, which made her look more pleasing to the eye for no reason.

Chu Lingyu also knelt down and said with choked sobs: "I have been chanting sutras and praying for the emperor these days. Now that the emperor is getting better, it must be God's mercy. I will continue to eat fast and chant Buddha's name when I go back, and sincerely pray for God's blessings." , let the emperor’s dragon body recover as soon as possible.”

Ye Jingyu waved his hand.

"You have your heart. I'm fine. Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two of them were helped up by their respective maids. Su Caiwei hesitated and asked, "I heard that Concubine Yao was kidnapped. I wonder if there is any news now?"

Xu Zhiyuan glanced at her and said in a low voice: "Prince Jing has been investigating this matter. The emperor has just recovered from his illness. It is better for the empress to stop asking these things that trouble the emperor."

Ye Jingyu really didn't want to talk, especially he didn't want to deal with these women.

But it was about Yin Qingxuan, so he still spoke.

"Xuan'er is fine. I have some errands for her to do. She will be able to return to the palace in a few days."

Su Caiwei said happily: "That's good. When Concubine Yao comes back, I can thank you in person."

She had indeed fought against Xiao Xuanzi before, and had acted like a monster in various ways, but now she was grateful because Yin Qingxuan was willing to intercede for her so that she could leave the palace to mourn her father.

Su Caiwei didn't believe the rumors in the palace. How could Yin Qingxuan assassinate the emperor when he helped Zhou so much.

Ye Jingyu nodded slightly.

"That's very good. I want to rest for a while. You can leave first."

Xu Zhiyuan immediately bowed and said: "I, my concubine, leave."

Su Caiwei and Chu Lingyu also knelt down and went out one after another.

After leaving the Chengtian Palace, Chu Lingyu held up a handkerchief and said: "Now that Concubine Yao has restored her identity, why would she still go out of the palace to work for the emperor? Don't assume that the rumors are true. After she assassinated the emperor, she fled in fear of crime. .”

Su Caiwei scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, how could Concubine Yao do such a thing."

Xu Zhiyuan glanced at Su Caiwei and asked, "I believe in Concubine Yao very much."

Chu Lingyu smiled and said: "Now that Concubine Yao is not returning to the palace, this is a great thing for Concubine Ling. Now that Concubine Ling is the only one in the palace, isn't it beautiful!"

Su Caiwei pursed her lips. Chu Lingyu was indeed right, but if Concubine Yao was missing from the palace, it would always feel like a lot was missing.

She snorted softly and said: "How can I be such a narrow-minded person? I naturally hope that Concubine Yao can come back as soon as possible."

Chu Lingyu said: "Is your Majesty telling the truth?"

Su Caiwei immediately raised her right hand and swore to God: "If I say anything false, I will be struck by lightning."

Xu Zhiyuan raised her eyes and glanced at her. The light in her eyes was deep and shallow, making it difficult to understand.

Chu Lingyu fiddled with the handkerchief and said, "I hope she never comes back."

Su Caiwei said sarcastically: "If Concubine Yao is not around, can you get the Holy Favor? I'm afraid the Emperor won't even bother to take a look."

After Su Caiwei finished speaking, she went to her Qionghua Pavilion.

Chu Lingyu stamped her feet angrily, turned around and saw Xu Zhiyuan looking at her, and immediately threw his anger on her.

"What are you looking at? Don't think that because the emperor saved you, you are superior to others. You have been in the palace for so long and you don't even have a title. From now on, stay safe and keep to yourself. Don't go to the emperor to show your courtesy when you have nothing to do. The emperor saved you just on a whim. Really? I thought he would like you, so stop dreaming."

Chu Lingyu glared at her fiercely and left with the maid.

Xu Zhiyuan clenched her fingers tightly, looked at the direction Chu Lingyu left with cold eyes, and thought to herself: You will definitely pay the price for these words!

Will!

Han Bing reached out to support Xu Zhiyuan.

"Master, don't listen to her nonsense, let's go back."

Xu Zhiyuan had withdrawn her gaze, looked at Han Bing and asked, "Do you think the emperor will like me?"

Han Bing was slightly startled.

He said hurriedly: "Of course, the little master is beautiful and fragrant. Even if he is not dressed up, he is still the best among people. Moreover, if the emperor does not like the little master, he will not carry the little master to the Chengtian Palace."

Xu Zhiyuan asked again: "If I were compared with Yin Qingxuan, who would be better?"

Han Bing said against his will: "Of course the young master is better. Master Yin is just relying on the fact that he has a child."

Xu Zhiyuan curled her lips and turned her head to look in the direction of Chengtian Palace.

"You're right, it's time for me to have a child."
