Chapter 349 Looking forward to her death
I was thinking about it, but suddenly I heard a voice behind her: " Luer, let her hug the child."
Mo Ziyao turned around and saw that the Empress Dowager woke up and was about to sit up at this moment. Lu'er quickly ran over to help her up and stuffed a pillow behind her back.
The Empress Dowager looked at her and said, "If what you said before is not bad, then this child will make the decision for the emperor and inherit it in your name."
Mo Ziyao was surprised and didn't understand what the Empress Dowager meant. What do you mean by the previous words? Since it was agreed at that time, the child will be adopted by himself after birth.
I couldn't figure it out, so I went forward to take the child from the wet nurse. The child is so small and light that he has no weight in his hand. Looking at him closely this time, I saw that there were many green spots like birthmarks on his face, which stretched straight to his neck.
Seeing this, somehow, there is a bad feeling in Mo Ziyao's heart. I remember what the Empress Dowager said that the medicine to protect the fetus will not hurt the child. But it seems that there will still be some impact, otherwise, what's wrong with these blue spots?
Children are generally more likely to wake up, but this child, from the wet nurse's hand to his own hand, is so bumpy that he has woken up long ago. However, the child still closed his eyes and did not respond at all.
Mo Ziyao frowned slightly and subconsciously turned the child upside down, but she still didn't react at all and didn't wake up and cry. My heart thumped, and I couldn't help but unconsciously touch his face with my hand. I found that it was still warm, and then I gradually relieved. He turned his head and smiled at the empress dowager and said, "The little prince is so good that he doesn't cry much."
The Empress Dowager's eyes also fell on the little prince, but she shook her head and sighed, "Yes, it's too good to cry or make trouble."
Mo Ziyao was stunned and couldn't help looking down at the child in her arms again. The child's quiet face made her panic for no reason. Subconsciously reached out and pinched his arm, but there was still no response.
"Don't try." The Empress Dowager said, "You haven't seen the problem yet? There is something wrong with this child.
Mo Ziyao couldn't accept this reality for a moment. She looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "Maybe, maybe, the child is too young..."
The Empress Dowager shook her head, "Premature birth is a congenital deficiency. I'm lucky to survive. Ai family didn't want to tell you. Since you can see it, Ai family is here to ask you again, do you still want to stick to the original decision for such a child?
Mo Ziyao did not answer the Empress Dowager's words, but just lowered her head and looked at the little prince softly. He fell asleep quietly in his infuriate clothes and was not disturbed by the outside world at all.
She still remembers what she said she wanted to adopt the child for. However, now that everything is almost settled, everything is going according to its own will, but I didn't expect that later, the child became a victim.
Concubine Yunxian is no longer here, and her child will eventually be raised by other concubines. Such a little prince is the fastest source of interests that everyone can get close to. Getting him is equivalent to getting a supreme glory pass. If the little prince is normal and okay, but whoever gets such a born disabled child will be a burden.
Mo Ziyao thought very thoroughly. After all, she was also about to be a mother. She couldn't bear to see that the little prince would not be loved for all her life because of her own reasons. So, she decided to raise the child. Even if he is mutilated and stupid, she is willing to give all her love to him.
Just because he is Ruan Lingzheng's child.
Mo Ziyao said in a low voice, "I have thought about it very well, and I also know the pros and cons. This child, I want this child."
The empress dowager finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded her head with relief: "Theai jia really didn't misread you. The little prince is worried about who will hand it over theai jia, but it's the most reassuring to give it to you."
Mo Ziyao held the little prince and knelt down and said, "Thank you for trusting my concubine. Please rest assured that I will treat him as my own."
"That's good." The Empress Dowager waved her hand, "Little prince, you can take it back to Yuyao Palace first. I believe the emperor knows it and is also happy to see it. As for the promise of your back position, let's talk about it after Yunxianfei's matter is dealt with.
In fact, for Mo Ziyao, she doesn't care so much. As long as she can accompany Ruan Lingzheng, she will be satisfied with him, and she also knows that there seems to be no suitable candidate for this position except herself, just because there are too many people, either with a purpose or the emperor and the empress dowager have scruples.
The latter is not given to anyone, but to give a person with an identity and innocence. There is no power behind it. He is the most suitable person who only thinks for the emperor and Ruan Nan, and does not admire fame and fortune.
Mo Ziyao turned around and wanted to leave. Hearing the empress dowager, she said, "by the way, there is no available maidservant around you now. Well, let the emperor help you choose a good one to serve the next day."
The Empress Dowager is really smart. She knows that if she sends someone to Yuyao Palace, she will definitely be guarded by Mo Ziyao. In this way, it is better to let Ruan Lingzheng's people go.
However, what the Empress Dowager said is also true. Today, in the Yuyao Palace, she left with King Pingren in late autumn, and Yuzhi could not appear. There was only one Yunlan left, but she was not a trustworthy person.
Mo Ziyao pondered for a moment, then blessed herself, thanked the empress dowager, and went out with the little prince in her arms.
The little prince was taken back to Yuyao Palace. When the palace people saw their master bring the little prince back, they were stunned and showed an incredible look. On the contrary, Yunlan came over silently, took over the little prince, and arranged someone to clean up the room and invite a wet nurse.
Looking at the people busy with joy for the little prince, the whole Yuyao Palace was particularly lively because of the arrival of the little prince. Mo Ziyao's mouth gradually showed a smile. In fact, when she made a decision, she had already regarded the little prince as her own child.
After Yunlan came out of her work, Mo Ziyao asked her to go to the Yuche Pavilion of Jingchongyi with herself. She didn't want to take her, just because there was really no one around her.
All the way, the two of them went to the Yuche Pavilion and saw that there was already a royal forest army outside. Seeing them pass by, a leading bodyguard came forward and said to Mo Ziyao, "I have seen the noble concubine Yao."
Mo Ziyao nodded and said, "Come and see Jing Chongyi."
The bodyguard was a little embarrassed: "This..."
Mo Ziyao stepped forward and said, "I went in alone. Are you still afraid of what will happen to me?"
"No, I have no intention." The bodyguard shook his head in fear.
Yunlan said, "In that case, what if we let our mother go in and meet?"
The bodyguard hesitated for a moment and finally retreated, "Then... Madam, please hurry up. It's been a long time, and it's hard for my subordinates to say."
Mo Ziyao nodded and said to Yunlan, "Sister Lan is waiting outside." After saying that, he stopped looking at her and went in alone.
A eunuch palace maid has not been seen in the Yuche Pavilion, and there are still two guards guarding the door of Jing Chongyi's room. Seeing Mo Ziyao go in, he hurriedly saluted her. Mo Ziyao signaled them to be free of courtesy and pushed straight through the door and went in. Seeing Jing Chongyi sitting quietly in front of the dresser and hearing the sound of the door being opened, she turned around.
Seeing that it was Mo Ziyao, her eyes were obviously stained with a strange color. He got up, wrapped his hand around his mouth, coughed slightly, and saluted, "I have seen the imperial concubine Yao."
Mo Ziyao came forward to help her: "Sister Jing doesn't have to be polite." Feeling the coldness in her hands, she frowned slightly and said with concern, "Look at your bad face, are you all right?"
Jing Chongyi smiled and shook her head, "The concubine is fine, but the wind is cold. It doesn't matter."
When Mo Ziyao nodded and looked around, she found that there were a lot of things missing in the house. There is not even a single hairpin jewelry left on the dresser. On Jing Chongyi's hair, she didn't even see a hair accessory.
Seeing Mo Ziyao's depressed look, she smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager ordered to clean up everything to prevent the concubine from suicide. Think about it, Xuefei's side is the same at this moment.
Mo Ziyao felt a little shocked, so even the door had to be guarded. Are you afraid that the people inside will do something irrational? However, Xuefei... Although she has never been there, she also knows that people like Xuefei will not choose to suicide.
Her eyes fell on the thin face of the woman in front of her, and her thoughts were withdrawn and she said, "Did you really do this?"
Jing Chongyi did not avoid Mo Ziyao's eyes and nodded directly, "Yes, otherwise, how could the concubine know the position where the stake was sawed, and why would the scars scratched by the saw fall on the concubine's arm?"
Mo Ziyao looked at her in a daze, but she coughed and brushed her hand away and walked a few steps forward: "The concubine knows that the noble concubine will come today. You know about this matter, but you have to ask her in person to believe it."
Mo Ziyao couldn't help asking, "Why did you stand up?" As long as she doesn't stand up, Hui Guifei will put this black pot on her head. The Empress Dowager believes that she didn't do it herself, and Ruan Lingzheng is also trying to get rid of herself. In the end, she can still save the danger, right?
Jing Chongyi's hand slowly brushed over the table and whispered, "One person does things and one person does it. How can you ask your mother to take this black pot?"
"Sister Jing..."
She interrupted Mo Ziyao with a smile: "The concubine said a long time ago that the concubine is just doing what she wants to do, and this matter has nothing to do with the noble concubine."
Mo Ziyao was stunned. Seeing her smile slightly, she looked into the distance and asked in a low voice, "Can Xuefei get rid of the crime this time?"
Mo Ziyao suddenly came to her senses, and she didn't know anything about Xuefei. She only knew that the Empress Dowager would never let her go, and Princess Hui and all the people did their best to kill her for the disaster she caused this time. And Ruan Lingzheng was also extremely disappointed in her.
She suddenly looked back at Mo Ziyao and frowned and asked, "Everyone is trying to kill her, right?"
Mo Ziyao hesitated and finally nodded. She smiled with satisfaction, coughed a few times, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What about the noble concubine? Looking forward to her death?"
Whether you look forward to it or not, to be honest, Mo Ziyao really hasn't thought about it. However, looking at the haggard woman in front of her, she suddenly felt unbearable and said, "Isn't Sister Jing afraid of death?"
Mo Ziyao's words stunned Jing Chongyi. She reached out to cover her mouth and turned around, as if she was coughing again. After a long time, she said, "Actually, when she learned that the emperor was going to set up a stage for her on Yunxian's birthday, the concubine began to plan. It was also from that moment that the concubine predicted her own end.
Mo Ziyao looked at her in surprise. She said that the end was expected very early? Did you see that Xuefei would choose to do it on that day?
