"The punishment should not have been carried out yet, but Qingqing, what do you want to see her do?" Ning Chen said.
Ye Jun looked at his current condition and realized that he really couldn't get out.
But she still insisted, "I just want to ask her something. I wonder if the emperor would allow me to let Huiyue go to see her."
This was not a big deal, so Ning Chen naturally agreed.
Huiyue was called in, and Ye Jun asked her through the tent to go see Qin on his behalf.
By the way, he asked Huiyue to help her sit up and talk.
Taking advantage of this close opportunity.
Ye Jun lowered his voice and whispered three words into Huiyue's ear: Concubine Jingxian.
Huiyue immediately understood what she meant and nodded slightly.
After she left, Ye Jun said again, "Your Majesty, please have someone bring the child to me. I haven't seen him yet."
Ning Chen nodded and sent the person away.
Soon, the wet nurse came over with two children in her arms.
Ye Jun hesitated for a moment, but still took the initiative to open the curtain.
Of course, it doesn’t look good at this moment.
I sweated a lot that day and washed my body but not my hair. Even though I used jasmine powder on it, it didn't look as fresh and beautiful as after washing.
Ye Jun was still wearing a headband, which she hadn't worn when she gave birth to the Fourth Prince.
You can't say she's ugly, after all, her facial features are already there. It's just that she's not as charming as usual.
But since the curtain has been lifted, there is no need to worry about Ning Chen seeing it.
Now her thoughts are different. She wants Ning Chen to see her difficulties and wants Ning Chen to remember how she almost lost her life.
And this approach does work.
Ning Chen looked at the pale-faced woman in front of him, thinking of her appearance in the past, and just wanted to hold her in his hands and love her doubly.
How much suffering must one have endured to become so haggard.
"Your Majesty, look at the child, look at what I am doing." Ye Jun curled her lips slightly, "I see that Xiaoliu's eyes look like mine."
After hearing what he said, Ning Chen lowered his head to look.
Sure enough, the Sixth Prince's eyes looked a bit like Ye Jun's peach blossom eyes.
"The princess looks like the emperor. Her eyes are the same as Jing'er's when he was a child." Ye Jun said again.
There was a hint of disappointment in his words.
Ning Chen laughed, "Why, didn't you say before that you looked better than me?"
"Jing'er is a boy, so if a girl is born, she won't look like me. Among the three children, two of them look more like the emperor." Ye Jun muttered.
"No matter who it is, it's good. They are all our children." Ning Chen reached out and touched Ye Jun's cheek, his eyes full of tenderness.
Ye Jun's eyes also overflowed with laughter. He lowered his head to look at the child again and asked, "Your Majesty, have you thought of a name for the child?"
It was mentioned a long time ago, and I don’t know what words Ning Chen came up with.
"I've thought about it. The Sixth Prince will be named Yuxun, and the Fourth Princess will be named Xiyuan." Ning Chen said in a gentle voice.
While pulling Ye Jun's hand, he wrote the two words stroke by stroke on the palm of her hand.
"Xun and Yuan both refer to beautiful jade. They are good characters." Ye Jun nodded with satisfaction.
Ning Chen continued, "Yuan is my youngest child and the only daughter between you and me. Yuan is pronounced as Yuan, which also means good wishes. I hope that in the future everything we wish for will be our good wishes."
Looking at Ning Chen's sincere eyes, Ye Jun was also touched.
But she didn't know what to say, she just held Ning Chen's hand.
Silence is better than words at this time.
After seeing Ye Jun, Ning Chen finally felt relieved.
He was really afraid that Ye Jun would not wake up.
After sitting for half an hour, he was worried that Ye Jun was tired, so he restrained himself and coaxed her to lie down, then came out of the inner room.
Yuan Jiu just came over at this time.
"Your Majesty, Huai'an came to tell me that His Royal Highness Prince Kang doesn't look well and needs the princess to support him when he walks. The prince's health..."
"Send an imperial physician to Prince Kang's mansion to take a look, and send some of the good medicinal materials in my warehouse over there. Tell him not to think too much. I said I trust him, and I mean it." Ning Chen frowned slightly.
This younger brother really cares about me.
With all the things that happened one after another, I was afraid that he would worry too much and hurt his mind and body, so I had to show my attitude to make him feel more at ease.
Yuan Jiu nodded and told Huai'an to do it.
Finally, Ning Chen remembered something and called Yuan Jiu over.
"Send a message to the palace to renovate Chonghua Palace. It will be the residence of the Imperial Concubine in the future. In addition, the word Zhaochun is very good. Chonghua Palace will be renamed Zhaochun Palace in the future. The imperial physician said that the Imperial Concubine's health is damaged and she is weak and afraid of the cold. We will build underground heating in Zhaochun Palace so that it will be warm in winter."
Yuan Jiu nodded repeatedly and hurried to make arrangements.
On the other side, Huiyue also watched the executioners send Qin away with a cup of poisoned wine and then returned to Furong Palace.
"What did Qin say?" Ye Jun asked coldly.
Huiyue recounted the story truthfully, "Qin did not admit that Concubine Jingxian was involved in this matter. She just told me that although the queen did not do it, it might be the case elsewhere. There are always fights in the harem. In addition, she told me that the fifth prince is innocent and she hopes that the queen can forgive the young boy and protect him."
"I don't have it here, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist elsewhere." Ye Jun repeated this sentence in a low voice, his eyes becoming darker and darker. "Jingxian Concubine has been dormant for many years. After the deposed queen passed away, she gradually showed up."
The meaning of this statement is very clear. Even if Concubine Jingxian did not tamper with Ye Yun's delivery, she must have tampered with other things.
Other places related to Ye Yun, such as the purse from her palace that was found from Mrs. Wan.
If she guessed correctly, this was a subtle way of telling her that Concubine Jingxian also intended to deal with her.
But the words that follow are even more thought-provoking.
It would be fine to ask her to forgive the Fifth Prince, but why would he ask her to protect the Fifth Prince
Would she protect the son of her enemy? What's more, Qin was from Zhongcui Palace, and people from Concubine Jingxian's palace should be protected by Concubine Jingxian.
Unless, she doesn't trust Concubine Jingxian.
Taking all these into consideration, Ye Jun felt that this matter must be related to Concubine Jingxian to some extent.
However, Xie and Qin from Prince Kang's Mansion are both dead, and Concubine Jingxian is far away in the palace. At such a distance, nothing can be found out.
The fact that Concubine Jingxian had been lying dormant for so many years and only revealed her true colors now shows that she was extremely meticulous. Since she had already prepared to use Qin as a scapegoat, she had naturally wiped out all traces long ago.
Now that she has given birth, her health has been damaged and she should not worry too much during the confinement period. This matter has to end here.
"Empress?" Seeing that she had been silent for a long time, Huiyue called out softly.
Ye Jun collected his thoughts and slowly lay down. "This matter may be related to Concubine Jingxian, but there is no other way without evidence. I will keep a close eye on her in the future."
"I understand. I'll pass the message to the palace right away." Huiyue said seriously, bowed, and then went back to make arrangements.
At this time in the palace, Concubine Jingxian had already seen the carrier pigeon that Linglan secretly sent back.
The whole person is very gloomy.
Unexpectedly, Ye Jun gave birth to twins safely, and was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine.
She had just become the leader of all the concubines, but now she was being suppressed again. She was filled with resentment.
