When Concubine Xian woke up, she saw the Sixth Prince and Yao Wanyi standing nearby with their eyes red from crying.
"Why are you crying? Aren't I doing well?" Concubine Xian tried her best to smile, but her face was too pale and she looked extremely weak.
The Sixth Prince was trembling with pain, feeling distressed and aggrieved at the same time.
How virtuous and capable is she Yao Wanyi? She deserves to be treated like this by her mother.
As for Yao Wanyi, she was completely moved by Concubine Xian.
She took Concubine Xian's hand and called Concubine Mother while saying, "There are many people who have loved me since I was a child, but there has never been anyone like you. You are truly closer than my biological mother."
"Silly boy, how can I compare to the princess?" Concubine Xian said weakly, "I love you just because you are my daughter-in-law and the mother of my grandson. It is because you are well that my son can Well, only my grandson can do well."
But the more Concubine Xian said this, the more Yao Wanyi became convinced that she was completely sincere towards him.
"Your Highness, the imperial doctor is here, can you call him in?" Kang Guang walked in and asked.
Before the Sixth Prince could speak, Concubine Xian spoke: "Who asked the imperial doctor to come? Please go back quickly!"
"How did this happen, concubine? You are so weak now and have injuries on your body. It is impossible not to ask the imperial doctor to see you." The sixth prince said anxiously.
"Silly boy, I'm fine. The wound isn't very deep. I'll just apply some wound medicine later." Concubine Xian said patiently, "I don't want the imperial doctor to know, because I don't want to alarm others. This is a private matter in our family. It's your own business. If everyone knows about it, it seems like I have some agenda."
"But my concubine's body..." Of course the Sixth Prince was worried.
"I'm really fine. Why can't you trust me? Now that I'm grounded, if this news spreads, people won't think that I'm only thinking about my son and wife. They'll just think that I'm causing trouble on purpose and have other thoughts. .
It's better to have less to worry about than to have more to worry about right now, so let's all be quiet! In fact, if I hadn't heard someone say that this tonic soup must be taken within a hundred days of miscarriage to be effective, I wouldn't be so anxious to ask you to come to the palace and have to rush to this stall.
You two are filial children, but you can't sacrifice a small thing at the expense of a big one. Otherwise, wouldn't all my previous efforts be wasted? "
"Don't worry, concubine, I will send you the best medicine later." Yao Wanyi wiped her tears and said, "You must rest peacefully and eat well, otherwise I won't be able to let go of my heart no matter what."
Kang Guang sent the imperial doctor away and asked someone to stew ginseng soup for Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian lay there for a while, the color gradually returning to her face, and she prepared to eat with her son and daughter-in-law.
After finishing the meal and talking for a while, Yao Wanyi said: "Since I have entered the palace today, I have to pay my respects to my aunt, otherwise the etiquette will not be justified."
Concubine Xian nodded and said: "What you said cannot be done without going over there, but please don't tell the empress about my affairs, lest she worry about it."
"Don't worry, concubine, I won't tell you anything." Yao Wanyi said and stood up, "I'll be back later."
After Yao Wanyi left, the Sixth Prince couldn't help but ask Concubine Xian: "Concubine, why are you doing this? Don't say that the tonic soup may not work. Even if it does work, you can't hurt your body."
"Silly boy, my mother-in-law has no other abilities, and because she defended the queen, the emperor had a grudge against us." Concubine Xian sighed helplessly, "Now, only by making you and Wan Yi more united can we be protected. After all, the only one we can rely on now is the queen."
The sixth prince heard this but disagreed: "If my mother-in-law hadn't stood up for the queen, how could she have been grounded? If she was really reliable, how could she have allowed you to suffer such injustice?"
"Otherwise, what can we do?" Concubine Xian couldn't help crying and said, "If we don't rely on the queen, who can we rely on? We have lost the emperor's favor, so we can't lose the queen's heart.
The Queen sent someone to tell me the day before yesterday that because it was inconvenient for me to be grounded now, all the things I had been in charge of before were left to Concubine Hui and others.
The Queen will never flatter anyone, so what if I don’t coax Wan Yi to be good? "
"Hmph! I've seen it a long time ago. The Queen is totally unreliable." The Sixth Prince said angrily, "They say Mrs. Xu is narrow-minded, but in fact she is much more cruel than Mrs. Xu."
"You don't want your life?! What crazy words are you talking about?!" Concubine Xian was so frightened that she covered her son's mouth, "Be careful, walls have ears."
"Concubine, I've had enough for a long time," the Sixth Prince said sadly and angrily, "You don't know how disgusting it is for me to face that female toad every day! You even cut off your own flesh to make soup for her. In fact, I even touched it I don’t even want to touch her again! Who wants to have children with her?!”
"I know you don't like her, didn't you do this to protect you in the long run?" Concubine Xian said helplessly, "Why do we have no ability ourselves and can only let others round her up and flatten her!"
"Can we just accept it this way?" The Sixth Prince asked himself repeatedly during countless torturous days and nights.
"Son, if I can, how can I be willing to let you suffer even the slightest injustice?" Concubine Xian burst into tears, "The queen controls the harem, and the Yao family has deep roots in the front. Compared with others, we really can't compete. .”
"But even animals that can't speak can live without silence and die silently. Why do we have to suffer such insults?" After all, the Sixth Prince was young and had no shortage of passion and impulsiveness.
"My child, this cannot be accomplished by a moment of will," Concubine Xian shook her head, "The Queen and the Yao family cover the sky with one hand, do you want to turn the sky upside down?"
The sixth prince gritted his teeth and said nothing. No matter how impulsive he is, he knows that it won't happen with just one harsh word.
But he was really unwilling!
Looking at his expression, Concubine Xian knew what he was thinking, and she persuaded softly: "Good boy, calm down. I can still bear this little grievance at the moment, and you don't have to feel too unfair for me. .
Even you and Wanyi are the same. As long as she has a child, she won't put all her thoughts on you.
In two years' time, the princess will let you have two concubines, and you will still be able to live your life. "
The sixth prince wanted to say something else, but Kang Guang said outside: "The princess is back, please wait a little slower and be careful of the steps."
So Concubine Xian, mother and son quickly wiped away their tears, and Yao Wanyi also came in at this time.
"Mother, how are you feeling now?" Yao Wanyi held a bowl of medicine in her hand, "This is the medicine from the Queen's Palace. It nourishes qi and blood. I didn't say you wanted to use it, I only said that I wanted it." One pill to spare.
After a while, ask them to serve you, take this medicine, and rest for two or three days, and you are guaranteed to recover. "(End of chapter)
