Chapter 982
There was no court session on the second day of the Lunar New Year; the session would resume on the sixth day.
Everyone was still immersed in the joy of exchanging New Year's greetings.
Receiving such a message was quite unexpected.
The Qi family was the first to become restless.
Qi Yuyan sought out Pei Shang.
"Cousin, you have to help Minmin. The Emperor will definitely not forgive her for deceiving the Emperor this time."
This child was never intended for Murong Yu.
I'm afraid even the children will hate it.
Pei Shang said, "It's no use for us to go to the palace now. It seems they haven't decided how to deal with Consort De yet. We can only wait until the sixth day to discuss it further."
"His Majesty is unwell and is recuperating."
The border wars have temporarily ceased because the Northern Palace Kingdom has been destroyed.
It deterred other countries.
All are seeking peace, especially the Eastern Ling Kingdom, where the Cui family has already found them, and his sister Pei Fang is in the hands of the Cui family.
Pei Shang didn't have a good New Year. Last night, after returning from the New Year's Eve banquet, he had a big fight with Pei Heng, blaming him for insisting on marrying Pei Fang to Cui Yan.
But he also agreed to the marriage.
Therefore, Pei Shang was very irritable.
With his father gone, he was left to support the family. Only then did he realize that as the head of the household, he also had to bear greater pressure and responsibility.
Shen family.
Upon hearing the news, Shen Yue could barely hold his teacup.
It's not a daughter, it's a son!
"Son."
Shen Yue's hands trembled slightly. "You must protect the Fourth Prince."
He needed to find a way to keep the child alive and prevent his identity from being exposed.
......
Because Han Lian approached the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager found out and decided to adopt the fourth prince.
They also sent people to question Qi Yumin about why she did this.
However, Qi Yumin shifted the blame to Nan Yin, because Nan Yin was someone close to Madam Yun at that time.
Naturally, the Empress Dowager interpreted it as Yunxi Yue's meaning.
However, the Empress Dowager did not question Yun Xiyue. Her actions were understandable, as she had once been an empress.
How could anyone tolerate the emperor having other women and other children?
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince cannot live without his mother, but the Emperor listened to the Empress and took the child away."
The Empress Dowager glanced at Han Lian. "This couldn't possibly be the Empress's idea. She already has so many children of her own; who would want to raise someone else's?"
Han Lian's expression stiffened slightly. She hadn't expected the Empress Dowager to change and actually speak up for Yun Xiyue.
"Alright, you can all go back now. I'll ask the Emperor about it again in a few days when he's feeling better."
"The Emperor has arranged for someone to look after the child, so nothing will happen."
The Empress Dowager believed that even tigers don't eat their cubs.
They felt that even if the emperor disliked this prince, he wouldn't kill him.
But Qi Yumin knew in her heart that Murong Yu had always suspected that the child was not his and wanted to use the child to lure out the child's biological father.
Once Shen Yue steps forward, it's all over.
"Your Majesty, you don't know."
"Actually, the Emperor doesn't like the Fourth Prince at all. And when the Empress came to see me and the Fourth Prince that day, she said... if it were a prince, she wouldn't have kept this bastard."
The Empress Dowager frowned. "A bastard? Did she really say that?"
"Yes......"
The Empress Dowager was not feeling well. "You may all go back first. I will ask her about it later. The Empress is pregnant now and should not get angry."
Ultimately, they still care more about the legitimate son.
Qi Yumin's eyes were swollen from crying.
Granny Su asked them to leave.
"Your Highnesses, please return! The Empress Dowager is unwell and unable to help you." Granny Su did not want her mistress to be used by them any longer; if things continued like this, she would die sooner or later.
In truth, the Empress Dowager no longer wanted to interfere in the affairs of the inner palace.
Even if Yun Xiyue really can't tolerate the Fourth Prince, so what?
She is the queen.
She was already very kind to allow Consort De to give birth to a child.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is not the kind of person you describe."
"If she doesn't want you to give birth, do you think you can deliver safely?"
Having spent so many years in the palace, she had seen far too many people lose their children.
The imperial harem is a place that devours people without spitting out their bones.
Yunxi Yue was the most benevolent empress she had ever met.
