Rong'er thought to himself: As a woman, becoming a mother is the greatest thing that can be done. In order to be able to accomplish this, some people would not hesitate to sacrifice themselves. At this moment, I am deeply moved for Yi Yi …
In the end, Rong'er and Xuan Ye's hopes had still been fulfilled as the Imperial Noble Concubine Yi was diagnosed with a pregnancy in September. Everyone in the palace was very happy, especially the empress dowager. There were several times when she personally came to the Palace to inquire, and Rong'er went to pay respects as well. It was just that on the day of their greetings, when they saw that Imperial Consort Yi was still drinking medicine, they couldn't help but feel worried. She thought of the noble and filial queen … Back then, after the death of the first child of the filial queen, the filial queen was always sick. She was really scared that she didn't escape the gates of hell when she was born …
Two days later, Rong'er told her of her worries to Xuan Ye, who could only sigh helplessly. "In the past, I had always thought that being pregnant was a good thing, but it's also true that I had forgotten to consider whether or not she could give birth to a child. We asked the imperial physician and said that Yi Fei's body was weak and that having a child was very damaging to her vitality.
Borrowing the light from the candles outside the bed curtains, Rong'er stood up and looked at Xuan Ye. "Then what does Your Majesty think?" Do I need this child, or do I need to guarantee Yi Fei's safety? "
Xuan Ye also sat up and sighed, "Actually, I already have six princes and three princesses, so …" I hope that Yi Fei is safe and sound. "
Rong'er nodded happily at Xuan Ye's words. "Then …" Your majesty, I have a question, the child in the concubine's womb is Long Zi, Long Si is the dragon vein of the royal family, no one can hurt him, if in order to save Yi Fei's life, abandoning the child, would that not count as scheming against Long Zi? "
"The rules of Yu Palace are not compatible with each other, which is reasonable enough. But Rong'er, you're too naive. It's unlikely that Yi Yi Fei would reject this child. I know that." Xuan Ye laughed softly, then lay back down.
"Your majesty." Rong'er turned around to look at Xuan Ye. "Your concubine will go and speak with Yi Feifei. Your concubine will go and persuade her to give up on this child. Is that alright?"
Xuan Ye gently held Rong'er's hand and said with a smile, "This Emperor is certain, but …" "I don't think you will succeed …"
"Chenqie doesn't want Imperial Concubine Yi to follow in the footsteps of the filial queen …" Rong'er said faintly, "No matter what, chenqie will do her best to advise you."
Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er and chuckled, "Rong'er, you really don't need to think too much about it. Go and advise Imperial Concubine not to have this child. Aren't you afraid that others will say that you're jealous that she's pregnant?"
"Huh?" Rong'er really hadn't thought of this question. He stared blankly for a moment, then looked at Xuan Ye. "Your majesty, do you really think Rong'er is stupid?" "His mouth is on someone else, so he can say whatever he wants. In Rong'er's entire life, she only wants four words: A clear conscience."
He sighed in his heart, thinking how lucky he was to have such a woman like Rong'er, kind to the bone. He knew that she was not stupid, but she was actually very intelligent, because she had conquered his heart, and he was willing to spend his entire life to protect the 'conscience' that awaited her.
Within the imperial palace, Rong'er took the medicine from the palace maid's hands and said in a soft voice, "Yi Yi, let me feed you then."
"Sister Rong, let the palace maid come. Although my position is higher than yours, you are older than me. How can I let you take care of me?" Yi Feifei smiled weakly.
"Don't be a stranger. Even if you really do take my older sister, I should still take care of you." Rong'er spoke softly as he lifted a spoon to scoop a bowl of medicinal juice, and lightly blew on it to deliver it to Yi Yi Fei's mouth. Seeing Rong'er's resolute attitude, Yi Fei did not continue to refuse.
"Yi Yi Fei, chenqie came here today to say something to you." After feeding the medicine well, Rong'er sat upright as he looked towards Yi Feifei and spoke.
"Sister, please tell me directly if you have something to say."
Rong'er took a light breath before speaking, "Yi Yi, chenqie heard that the body of Empress Yi wasn't suitable for a child, so chenqie wanted to say that you are considering not having this child for the time being?" Rong'er saw that Imperial Concubine Yi's expression changed slightly, and hurriedly added, "Chenqie told the emperor about this. The emperor is indeed worried about your health; having children is dangerous for women, after all."
She lightly shook her head as she turned to look at Rong'er. "Big Sister Rong, are you jealous that I have a Dragon Elder Sister? So you don't want me to have this child? "
"Ah?" No, Imperial Noble Concubine Yi, you must not misunderstand Chenqie. Chenqie is indeed doing this for your own good. " There was a difference in status within the palace after all. Rong'er hurriedly stood up and bowed as he heard Imperial Concubine Yi say this.
"Elder sister, please sit down. There's no need to be nervous. You're joking, Soo Ning." "Others might not understand you, but how could I not? I know you have good intentions, but elder sister Rong …" "I'm taking this child for sure."
"Yi Yi Fei, are you really going to disregard your own life?" Rong'er asked nervously.
"Big Sister Rong, you are someone who has children, so you don't really understand my heart. Even though I have always raised Yin Zheng, he is not my biological son. I've been in the palace for so many years, but I've never … "Now that I finally have this child, how could I not want it …"
"Yi Yi …" Rong'er looked at Yi Fei's dejected expression with a little heartache. "But do you not care about your own life? "A body like yours reminds me of the benevolent and filial empress back then …"
"Sister Rong, do you want to know Xiu Ning's truest thoughts?" Yun Che asked softly as he looked up slightly.
Rong'er looked Yi Fei in the eye and nodded silently.
"Even if I die, I have to give birth to a child for the emperor …" Yi Feifei said with a resolute tone.
Looking at the resolute gaze in Yi Feifei's eyes, Rong'er knew that she had made a mistake this time. For a mother, she might as well sacrifice herself to protect her child.
"I'm sorry, Yi Fei. I couldn't really understand you." Rong'er said softly, "Even though I am already in the middle of my life, I still can't understand how you feel about being a mother to me. You would rather give up on yourself to give birth to a dragon throne for the emperor."
"No …" Imperial Concubine Rong, I know you are doing this for my own good. " Yi Yi Fei sighed softly. "But … I want to be a real mother, so that my life is complete... " After she finished speaking, she silently added in her heart, "Or perhaps I can ascend to become the emperor …"
When Yin Zheng saw Rong'er, he bowed to Rong'er before walking to the side of the Imperial Concubine Tong's bed. The Imperial Concubine Tong smiled and held Yin Chen's hand as he asked in a soft voice, "Good girl, are you alright today?"
Yin Xin nodded heavily, then asked in a tender voice, "Did you obediently drink that medicine?"
"Yes!" Rong'er knew that she truly loved Yin Zheng and that this was the love of a mother to a child. For her to love Yin Xin so much showed just how much she wanted her own child.
After Xiushan paid her respects to Rong'er, she looked towards Yi Fei and asked, "Sis, are you feeling better today?"
"It's better now, I'm fine. Don't talk nonsense with Madam Ama anymore. They are already old and always make them worry about me. Yesterday, they sent someone to greet me." Yi Feifei reprimanded her little sister softly.
Xiushan was only thirteen years old. She sat on the warm brick bed and stared at her sister in dissatisfaction, "We were just worrying about you, and now that you have a Dragon Heel, Ah Ma is very worried. She told me to make you be more careful, and tell them everything."
"Yes, Xiushan also meant well. It's best that Yi Yi Fei recuperate peacefully and take care of her health. Only then would the child be born successfully." Rong'er looked gently at Yi Fei.
"I've troubled Imperial Concubine Rong." Yi Feifei smiled lightly.
Rong'er couldn't feel at ease considering her own inadequacy. She stood up and said goodbye. That's right, a woman should be considered complete only if she had a child. How great was maternal love? So great that he could disregard his own life. In the end, the Emperor still knew her better than she did, or perhaps it could be said that he understood women. She sincerely hoped that Yi Fei could be safe for mother and son … A woman who couldn't leave medicine was a heartbreaking woman …
