Chapter 755 Concubine Chang dare not face her son
Concubine Chang quickly explained, "I...I think the Queen was too harsh. Shu Ronghua once came to my mother's palace to ask her for advice on making pastries. It was like a master-disciple relationship. She was actually quite well-behaved and sensible. She had to endure this kind of torture even though she was pregnant."
Xie Yang knew his mother. She was more cold-blooded and ruthless than anyone else. She had never shown such a loving look to him, but at this moment, her tenderness was directed at a person who had nothing to do with her.
It was as if she was the mother's child.
His heart went cold. Why did his mother lie to him? He clearly knew Shu Lang, so why did she pretend not to know him? It was Shu Lang who took the initiative to find him. He always thought that Shu Lang held a grudge against the Jiang family and had complaints against Xie Shang and his father. Now it seems that there is another hidden story.
Concubine Chang walked to the door and looked outside. She found that no one was watching here. She took the Fourth Prince's hand and walked aside, whispering, "Yang'er, when are you going to take action?"
Xie Yang said: "It has already begun. There is a big uproar outside. Mother's plan is really powerful. Minister Shu has helped a lot. If it succeeds, my son will owe him a big favor. He will definitely make use of the Shu family in the future."
"We should thank Minister Shu for helping us under such great pressure." Concubine Chang said.
"Did mother know Minister Shu before?" Xie Yang asked.
Concubine Chang was stunned. "How could my mother know him when she has lived in the palace for so long? However, Minister Shu is a minister in the court, and my mother has heard of him occasionally."
Xie Yang clenched his fists, "Mother, let me help you back to the banquet first! The Queen has sent someone to invite Madam Shu to the palace. Madam Shu will take care of her daughter. You just taught her to make a few cakes. It's not up to you, mother."
Concubine Chang glanced at Shu Yan and finally nodded, "She is Shu Shilang's biological daughter. If you can, please take care of her. After all, we can't offend her father."
Xie Yang said: "Yes."
Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang came out of the side hall and walked together. They exchanged glances and Jiang Fenghua said, "Why didn't Concubine Chang catch up? It was I who sent her an invitation to attend the family dinner. We must not neglect her. Your Majesty, please go to the banquet hall first. I will go back and look for her and come over soon."
Xie Shang nodded, "I'll let Wuxin accompany you."
"No need, I can go by myself. It's only a few steps away."
As soon as she arrived at the side hall door, she ran into Xie Yang helping Concubine Chang out. She looked inside and said, "Why is there no palace maid to take care of Shu Ronghua? Someone come!"
At this time, the maid came over with the medicine and asked, "What does the Queen want to see me for?"
"Why leave Shu Ronghua alone in the side hall? She is unconscious and pregnant. She needs someone by her side. Where are the maids and nurses who serve her personally?"
The palace maid said, "I heard that they are all sick and have stomach problems. I have been ordered by Imperial Physician Wang to get some medicine. I will go and give it to Empress Ronghua right away."
Concubine Chang stopped her and asked, "What medicine did you give Shu Ronghua?"
"It's pregnancy-preserving medicine!" said the palace maid.
Jiang Fenghua said, "Why is the Concubine Dowager so nervous? Now that Shu Ronghua is pregnant, Doctor Wang will naturally prescribe a pregnancy-preserving medicine for her. Is there any problem?"
Concubine Chang said, "No... no problem. I just want to ask if I should cover Shu Ronghua with a blanket to prevent her from catching a cold. She has nothing to cover herself with yet."
Jiang Fenghua asked in confusion: "No cover? I remember that it was covered with a quilt!"
"No." Concubine Chang was very sure.
Jiang Fenghua walked quickly to the bedside, "She really hasn't been covered yet. The Concubine Dowager is kind-hearted. If she continues to sleep like this, she will catch a cold. It will be hard to explain to Madam Shu if she sees this! I'll have someone carry her back to the bedroom. She shouldn't sleep here anymore."
Lian Ye also called over a few eunuchs, "Madam, the people have arrived."
Jiang Fenghua said: "Why are they so thin? They haven't eaten enough! Go find some imperial guards to help them."
"Yes."
When Jiang Fenghua said this, he did not cover Shuyan with a blanket. Concubine Chang felt even more distressed. How could the queen let the imperial guards touch her body? She stepped forward and took the initiative to tidy up Shuyan's blanket.
Jiang Fenghua said, "Empress Dowager Chang is kind-hearted. You don't know that Shu Yan is not a good person in the palace. She is very annoying with her mouth. I don't know what dirty tricks she used to get into the emperor's bed when she got pregnant with this child. It's just a despicable trick. It's hard to say whether the child can be kept."
When Concubine Chang heard these words, it only brought back memories of her youth. Empress Dowager Cheng also said similar words to her.
So Jiang Fenghua beat her just now to take revenge by taking advantage of the Empress Dowager's power, and now he is taking the opportunity to murder the baby in her belly. What a vicious mind.
Jiang Fenghua said, "Fourth Prince, help the Queen Mother back to the banquet hall quickly. The banquet will start soon. I will have someone send Shu Ronghua back to the palace before coming back."
Concubine Chang was already in a state of confusion. The person she cared about was in someone else's hands. What if the child was lost, or she was killed? She hadn't...
Concubine Chang suddenly walked back to the bedside and said, "I don't like crowds, nor do I like attending banquets. I will take Shu Ronghua back to the palace on behalf of the Queen!"
As she spoke, she also found a quilt to cover Shu Yan. Jiang Fenghua was stunned: "The Concubine Dowager is really kind-hearted. People like Shu Yan don't deserve sympathy. The Concubine Dowager should leave her alone."
Concubine Chang became even angrier: "As a woman, it's wrong for the Queen to say that."
Jiang Fenghua showed an embarrassed look on his face, "Does the Concubine help her so much because she likes Shu Yan so much?"
Xie Yang said quickly, "That's not what mother meant. In fact, mother is leaving too. She doesn't like crowds, but she stayed because she thought the side hall was quiet. I will send mother back to the palace now."
"It's a family dinner, we are all family. The Concubine Dowager has just arrived and is leaving. I just said the wrong thing. The Concubine Dowager is a vegetarian and a Buddhist. Please don't be angry." She glanced at Shu Yan, "I also hope she wakes up soon. Two concubines in the palace lost their lives while giving birth. I don't want their experience to fall on Su Ronghua again."
Concubine Chang wanted to say something else, but was forcibly taken away by Xie Yang. "Your Majesty, please get busy first. The prince and mother will take their leave."
Jiang Fenghua stared at the backs of Xie Yang and Concubine Chang, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips: I have gained a lot today. Xie Yang's expression is so rich. His mother gave birth to a child with a strange man behind his back. How did she keep it so secret without being discovered by other people in the palace?
She glanced at Shu Yan again, hoping that she would have to sleep longer.
Here, Xie Yang pulled Concubine Chang for a long distance, and Concubine Chang shook him off, "Yang'er, why are you pulling me?"
Xie Yang said: "Don't force your mother to stay in an occasion she doesn't like. How the Queen wants to deal with Shu Ronghua is the Queen's business, and it is the Emperor's family affair. She dared to slap her several times in front of everyone, and the Emperor didn't stop her. Whether his woman lives or dies has nothing to do with us."
Concubine Chang turned around and slapped Xie Yang. Xie Yang stared at his mother in disbelief.
Concubine Chang didn't dare to face her son and wanted to explain: "Yang'er, mother didn't mean it."
