Chapter 425 Gao Xiyue 24
Gao Xiyue said: "Come to think of it, it has been almost ten years since we came to the palace, right?"
Ruyi came back to her senses and thought about it carefully. It had indeed been almost ten years.
"Your Highness, your memory is correct."
Gao Xiyue smiled and said, "Princess Xian, have you ever thought about having a child?"
Ruyi felt a little bitter. Didn’t she want to get pregnant? It was just that she couldn’t get pregnant.
Gao Xiyue took a bite of the cake on the table, swallowed it and continued, "Although the queen still has no heirs in so many years, she has given birth to a child after all, and you..., of course, I understand that it takes fate to have a child. You haven't been pregnant for so many years, I guess it's not fate."
"However, you can adopt a child. I think you also understand that the Queen has taken good care of Concubine Yi's baby. It can be seen that she has the idea of adopting a child."
"It's not just Concubine Yi who is pregnant in the palace now. There's also Concubine Jia. Concubine Jia is from the Yu family and is a tribute girl. If you tell the emperor, I think he will agree based on his love for you."
Ruyi didn't say anything, but had a thoughtful expression.
Gao Xiyue smiled and didn't say anything more. Instead, she looked at the scenery for a while. When Yongyu had enough fun, she returned to Xianfu Palace.
Ruyi stood up and bowed, "Farewell, Your Majesty."
Afterwards, Ruyi sat down again. She did not leave immediately, but thought quietly about what Gao Xiyue had just said.
What Gao Xiyue said makes sense.
She has tried everything over the years, but still can't get pregnant. She has to admit that the possibility of getting pregnant in the future is very small.
She also needed someone to rely on. When the emperor didn't come to the Yanx Palace, she wanted a child to keep her company and help her pass the boring days.
Concubine Jia’s child is just right.
Concubine Jia was just a tribute girl and had no status. Adopting her child could improve her child's status. She didn't believe that Concubine Jia was unwilling.
If you don't want to, then there can only be one result...
It is not uncommon for pregnant women to die during childbirth.
Gao Xiyue took Yongyu's hand and slowly returned to the palace. She told Ruyi that she had no good intentions in telling this matter. Didn't Bai Ruiji want to frame Ruyi? She just wanted to give her a reason to make Ruyi harm Concubine Jia.
She estimated that Jin Yuyan's child would be born, but Bai Ruiji had been continuously applying cinnabar, so the child she gave birth to would definitely die young and would not survive.
This is really a matter of time. In the original plot, Bai Ruiji's child was harmed by Jin Yuyan and became like that, which made the emperor displeased.
This life is really the other way around.
As for A Ruo, she knew that Jin Yuyan had aroused her ambition. She didn't want to be a slave anymore, but wanted to be the master, and she stood on Jin Yuyan's side.
But it doesn’t matter. A Ruo didn’t dare to report to Jin Yuyan what she said to Ruyi.
A'ruo's father worked under her father. If she really dared to do that, her father's life and even the lives of her entire family would be in danger. She had already asked someone to remind A'ruo of this.
Gao Xiyue didn't feel any guilt at all, she was not a good person to begin with.
A Ruo really didn't dare.
She pretended not to hear what Gao Xiyue said to Ruyi today, and did not dare to reveal it to Jin Yuyan at all.
After Ruyi had the idea of adopting Jin Yuyan's child, she often looked at Jin Yuyan's belly unconsciously when paying her respects, which made Jin Yuyan very strange and somewhat complacent.
There was envy in Ruyi's eyes, but she couldn't understand more.
Moreover, Ruyi became much more friendly to her. Before, she was not very nice to her because she was Fucha Langya's person. What happened now?
But no matter what she planned, she couldn't deal with Ruyi because of her empty head, so there was no need to worry.
Soon, several months passed.
Huang Qiying didn't know who told her that eating more fish and shrimp was good for the fetus and would make the fetus smarter. Huang Qiying actually listened to it and started eating.
But she didn't like the taste of fish and shrimp very much, and would feel sick of it if she ate too much. Even though she advised herself that eating more was good for the fetus, she gradually stopped eating it, so she consumed very little cinnabar.
Jin Yuyan could only find a way to add cinnabar to her other dishes.
But Huang Qiying's meals were not something she could easily get her hands on, and it was even more difficult as there were the Queen's people taking care of Huang Qiying.
There are still big changes this time. In the original plot, Huang Qiying found out that she was pregnant in winter. At that time, Jin Yuyan could put cinnabar into the charcoal basin, but not now.
The weather is still very hot now, so it is impossible to use a charcoal brazier.
So Jin Yuyan tried her best to put cinnabar in Huang Qiying, but the amount was not that large. She was five months pregnant, but nothing was visible.
Apart from this aspect, Jin Yuyan made no progress at all on the other side.
She originally wanted to frame the Queen or Gao Xiyue for the accident that happened to Huang Qiying's child.
But no one in the palace knew that the Queen wanted to adopt Huang Qiying's child. Even if she put cinnabar into Changchun Palace, it would not be credible.
As for Gao Xiyue, it was even more impossible for her. No one knew what kind of love potion Gao Xiyue had given those palace maids and eunuchs. The Xianfu Palace was guarded so tightly that no one could get in, not even a needle could penetrate.
After trying many times, she had to give up and could only find a way to frame someone else.
At this time, Ruyi came over. She really disliked Ruyi's behavior, and she didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for framing her.
A Ruo served Ruyi, so it was easy to ask her to put something away.
Afterwards, Jin Yuyan perfected the plan again, and when she felt that it was correct, she focused her attention on Huang Qiying, trying her best to make her be poisoned by more cinnabar.
Thanks to Jin Yuyan's persistence, Huang Qiying finally felt unwell, and a lot of blisters appeared at the corners of her mouth. However, the imperial physician found nothing wrong after checking.
I also think that Huang Qiying is just hot-tempered and it is normal.
Huang Qiying finally felt relieved.
But afterwards she often felt unwell and the blisters at the corners of her mouth did not go away.
After being pregnant for eight months, Huang Qiying couldn't hold on and gave birth prematurely, earlier than Jin Yuyan. After a day and a night of labor, Huang Qiying finally gave birth to the child, a princess, but she was born weak and needed to be well taken care of in the future.
The emperor looked at the cradle princess, who was the first princess after he ascended the throne. He touched her little hand and hoped that she could survive and not die shortly after birth like his first two little princesses.
The emperor originally thought that the princess was weak because Huang Qiying had been feeling unwell in the last few months of her pregnancy, which led to the princess being in poor health since birth.
But I didn't expect that the princess was weak because Huang Qiqiying was poisoned.
