Chapter 946
The Empress Dowager had a problem with Jiang Sijin, feeling that she was not good enough for Pei Heng, but her nature never changed from beginning to end.
Yun Xiyue had anticipated her response. "Then who does the Empress Dowager think is suitable for Pei Heng?"
Pei Heng is also remarried, and the Pei family no longer has the power and glory it once had.
In the capital, every family, and even every individual, is very pragmatic.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. What gives Pei Heng the confidence to ask to marry a girl who is getting married for the first time, has an excellent family background, and has no flaws?
Besides being a former concubine of the emperor, Jiang Sijin also came from a powerful family, and the Jiang family was enjoying great favor at the time.
It's a good match for Pei Heng.
"But she is physically weak, can she have children?" The Empress Dowager knew that Pei Heng had no right to be picky.
“Master has treated her well. You know she only entered the palace and never served the emperor,” Yun Xiyue said.
"Did Jiang Sijin ask to marry him on her own initiative, or was it your idea?" the Empress Dowager asked.
Yun Xiyue said, "It was Jiang Sijin's idea. She has taken a liking to Pei Heng."
“If I were to personally arrange a marriage for Pei Heng, he might not accept it. If the Empress Dowager is also unwilling, then let’s just forget about it.”
The Empress Dowager sighed inwardly, "Wait!"
"I will issue the decree, but there is one thing I would like to ask you. Consort De has given birth to a princess, who is now poisoned. Since you have a way to save her, why don't you give her an antidote?"
"Consort De gave birth to a daughter. She poses no threat to you."
Yun Xiyue frowned slightly. "Has the Empress Dowager seen that child?"
"No, the child was poisoned at the time and it was inconvenient to take him out."
The Empress Dowager longed for a prince, but now she felt powerless to grant her either one or a princess.
However, I felt that since she was of the emperor's blood, the princess should be saved if possible.
Yun Xiyue said, "I will go and take a look, but Empress Dowager, do you really think that child is the Emperor's?"
The Empress Dowager's expression changed slightly. "What do you mean? Everyone saw them sleeping together."
“Sleeping together doesn’t mean we’ll do anything,” Yun Xiyue said.
The Empress Dowager knew this, so she immediately brought Qi Yumin back to the palace and had her examined. That's why she was so certain that Qi Yumin had been favored by the Emperor.
“I examined her and found traces of sexual intercourse on her body that day. Also, the Emperor was drugged and has no idea what he did. He said he didn’t touch Consort De because he didn’t want to upset you.”
"But I can tell you, this child is the Emperor's. The Emperor lied to me before, but he never actually touched Consort De. I had someone check and found out that she was a virgin before, and only lost her virginity after sleeping with the Emperor." The Empress Dowager said with great certainty.
She glanced at Yun Xiyue as she spoke, "I know you can't accept this, but the child is innocent. A princess poses no threat to you. When the child grows up, we can send her out of the palace to marry. Can't you even tolerate this?"
Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "It's not that I can't tolerate it."
Tell her now.
It's impossible to explain, because she has already accepted the facts in her heart.
So Yunxi Yue simply stopped talking.
After instructing Granny Su to take good care of the Empress Dowager's health, he got up and left.
After leaving Funing Palace, I went to Yongning Hall.
"Your Majesty, I greet you." Qi Yumin rushed over to greet her as soon as she heard the news.
She had already finished her postpartum confinement period, but her health deteriorated due to poisoning.
Her figure was slender, as if she could not withstand the slightest breeze, like a withered willow trembling in the cold wind.
