Chapter 231 Going deeper
Concubine Zhang looked pale, and Hongfang's body was held by her personal maid. Concubine Zhang stared at Hongfang.
If the imperial doctors hadn't persuaded her, she would never have let Hongfang go.
In the end, they found a compromise and let the palace maid hold her so that Concubine Zhang could keep an eye on her at all times.
But after a few hours, Hongfang's body had gradually become cold.
Concubine Zhang touched Hongfang's little face, crying and laughing.
"Hongfang, please don't leave me. I can finally look after you well. Hongfang, how can I live if you leave me?"
"Hongfang, are you in my mother's belly again? Can you be my mother's child again?"
Then, Lady Zhang said to herself:
"No, no, Hongfang, mother is not a good mother. In your next life, you must choose a capable mother who can protect you. Mother is too useless and too cowardly."
"Mother is incompetent, incompetent, unable to protect you, Hongfang."
Concubine Zhang was in tears and was still immersed in great sorrow.
As she said this, she was going to hug Hongfang again.
Seeing her like this, the imperial doctors hurried to stop her.
"My lady, you can't do that. You are weak."
"My lady, you have to take care of the heir in your belly."
The room was in chaos and this was what the emperor saw when he arrived.
The emperor stopped where he was, and his foot, which was about to step into the inner room, paused.
The Emperor could clearly see how much Concubine Zhang loved the child.
After a slight hesitation, the emperor stepped in.
When the imperial doctors saw the emperor coming, they all knelt down.
The emperor ignored her and walked straight to Concubine Zhang's bed.
"You are still healthy, so don't get too excited."
As he spoke, the emperor looked towards Hongfang.
The emperor wanted to touch Hongfang's little hand, but the child's body had become stiff, and there were many patches and stripes of corpse spots on his body, and he even emitted an unpleasant odor.
The emperor finally didn't touch him.
The palace maid was holding Hongfang's body and was actually trembling with fear.
In other words, Concubine Zhang could hold the little prince's body without changing her expression.
Concubine Zhang looked at the little prince infatuatedly, her heart full of hatred.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me and Hong Fang, Your Majesty!"
Concubine Zhang was about to throw off the quilt and get out of bed, regardless of her own health, and the emperor quickly held her down.
"Okay, I know you are sad, but you also have to take care of your body."
As he spoke, the Emperor sat down beside Concubine Zhang's bed and said, "Don't worry, I will do you justice."
"Hongfang is also my son."
Looking at the emperor, Concubine Zhang seemed to have grasped the last straw.
"Your Majesty, there were already signs that the prince was ill. This is murder by Concubine Jin!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor looked fiercely into Concubine Zhang's eyes, but Concubine Zhang's eyes were firm and she was not afraid at all.
Then, Concubine Zhang said all at once:
"She, Concubine Jin, only cares about her own glory and wants the little prince to show up in front of the emperor. I know that Concubine Jin has always wanted to register the little prince under her name and has long been preparing to show off her style at the banquet."
"But……"
Concubine Zhang looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes.
"But the little prince already has some symptoms of a cold. Although it's not serious, he will be fine after taking two doses of medicine. However, the banquet is already very exhausting. Although the little prince is young, he still has to go through the procedures. I would like to ask Jinpin to inform the emperor and ask the emperor to show mercy and let Hongfang not suffer this."
"But..." Concubine Zhang was full of resentment, "But Concubine Jin felt that this was not a problem at all. Or rather, she felt that I didn't want her to raise the prince and wanted to prevent him from changing his imperial certificate. Not only did she speak ill of me, she also said that if I dared to obstruct her again, I would never see Hongfang again."
"I had no choice but to watch as the little prince was taken to the night banquet by Concubine Jin. Later..."
Concubine Zhang glanced at Huimin and gritted her teeth, "Later, Concubine Jin hated Concubine Xian for being rewarded with the anchovy shark fin by the emperor, and flew into a rage in Yonghe Palace, insulting Concubine Xian. Hongfang should have been in a bad condition at that time, but Concubine Jin didn't care at all."
"Princess Jin only asked the nanny to take the prince to rest, and later she never cared about it again. The prince was fine after taking the medicine, but..."
Concubine Zhang struggled on the bed and saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty, Hongfang was exposed to the cold wind all night. He was so young and was weak at the time due to allergies. How could he be exposed to the wind all night? It's so cold this winter. Poor Hongfang."
"Jinpin was so careless about the prince that she didn't realize it until the next morning, which is why the prince had a high fever. Your Majesty, Jinpin has always pretended to be a kind mother, but in fact she is as cruel as a snake."
As the emperor listened to Concubine Zhang's words, the expression on his face changed from anger to disgust, and finally, he even calmed down.
"Mrs. Zhang, what you said is true."
Concubine Zhang looked determined, "Your Majesty, I dare not say a word of falsehood."
The emperor closed his eyes and said, "Check, Su Peisheng, check for me, how does Jinpin treat Hongfang, and why the window in Hongfang's room was open all night."
"Also," the emperor paused, "there is also the matter of Hongfang's allergy. Check it out for me."
The emperor's face showed no joy or anger.
"Princess Jin, your title is stripped and you are demoted to..."
The emperor hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not say anything further. Concubine Jin's position as a concubine was decided when the empress dowager passed away.
The emperor was still a little hesitant about his biological mother's dying wish.
"We will make a decision after the matter is clarified."
Hongfang, the emperor looked at the stiff child, and then at Concubine Zhang who looked embarrassed.
"Bury Hongfang."
Concubine Zhang had a stiff expression and looked at the emperor pleadingly.
Seeing the emperor's unmoved face, Concubine Zhang acquiesced.
"You are still pregnant. Don't be too sad about Hongfang's matter. Worrying during pregnancy is harmful to your health."
As he spoke, the emperor looked at the concubines present.
The emperor's gaze passed over Concubine Jing and stopped on Huimin.
Concubine Xian has always been reliable and would never try to take advantage of the child, but...
The emperor hesitated and looked away from Huimin, and looked at Shen Meizhuang and Fucha Peiyun.
After a brief pause, he said, "The baby of Concubine Zhang will be taken care of by Concubine Hui."
Although Shen Meizhuang was surprised, she quickly agreed.
But Shen Meizhuang was also a bit troubled. She had never expected that the emperor would hand over this hot potato to her. Given her son Hongjun's temper, if he thought that she wanted to have another child, then...
Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but have a headache. Her son was good in every way except that he was a little sensitive. After Jinghe was born, he was no longer as dependent on her.
Lady Zhang...if there are rumors again, then...
I hope Hongjun doesn't think too much.
