In the Imperial Palace, Wang Dongxue was watched by a group of palace maids sent by the Empress Dowager, not allowing her to get out of bed.
Meanwhile, Xie PanâEr, through the messages delivered by Dafeng, speculated that to protect the child in Wang Dongxueâs belly, it would be necessary to bring Suisui back.
She hurriedly wrote a letter, and the Empress Dowager had it sent urgently with an eight-hundred-mile express, rushing towards Xianyu Pass.
"I only hope the eldest can see PanâErâs letter soon and return to the capital early."
Old Madam Ji massaged her temples in distress.
Wang Dongxue carefully watched Old Madam Ji and secretly gave Xie PanâEr a look.
"Miss Xie, please help calm Old Madam down, being angry is bad for her health."
Xie PanâEr responded with a look: "Sheâs still angry! Canât persuade her, you just lie down quietly, after a while, Old Madam will cool down."
Wang Dongxue, helpless, could only silently pray in her heart that Ji Youyuan would return to the capital soon!
The Emperor, upon hearing about Wang Dongxueâs condition, furrowed his brows tightly and immediately sent someone out of the palace to find Ji Youran to enter the palace, while also hinting to Nanny Xiao that the Ji Family had nothing disloyal.
Nanny Xiao, upon receiving the message, pondered repeatedly and finally decided to discreetly remind the Empress Dowager of one or two points.
The Empress Dowager, upon hearing that the Emperor was personally coming to visit the Ji family Madame, after hearing Nanny Xiaoâs whispered reminder, thought for a moment and said, "I kept their daughter-in-law in the palace not for any particular purpose, but because the palace is so cold and lonely now.
Thinking back to when the late Emperor was alive! How many Yingying and Yanyan in this harem schemed against each other, it was utterly annoying, and even more, it was hard to guard against.
Those days of walking on thin ice, living in fear, were too much for me to bear.
So, once the late Emperor passed, I sent those little demons to accompany him at the royal tomb.
The Emperor has no siblings in the palace, and he himself is unwilling to marry, so in this palace, itâs just me, the master, these days, the Ji familyâs daughter-in-law moved in, finally, someone to talk to, and you say how could I bear to let them go back?"
Nanny Xiao naturally understood the Empress Dowagerâs words, understanding her own masterâs feelings, yet she knew, with the Emperorâs word, the Ji family daughter-in-law could no longer remain in the palace.
"Your Highness! The Ji family daughter-in-law is from a loyal family, though the Old General Ji
is no longer with us, the Ji familyâs children are all promising, to say nothing else, but the Eighth Young Master at a young age is already a scholar, and is surely a future champion scholar come the New Year.
Look over these days with the Emperor not present in the capital, the Eighth Young Master secretly assisted Prince Yi in handling court affairs, and his capability, youâve seen it.
As long as this Eighth Young Master behaves properly and doesnât overstep, he will certainly be the future Prime Minister!
At this moment, the Ji family Madame is pregnant, doubly pregnant, if she can comfortably give birth in the palace, that would be fine, but if there is..."
Nanny Xiao stopped her words appropriately, not daring to speak further, but the Empress Dowager understood her meaning.
"You speak reasonably, I am aware of all these, my decision at that time was indeed inappropriate, now wanting to make amends, you see how should I proceed?"
The Empress Dowager was worried and could only let Nanny Xiao offer a suggestion.
"Your Highness, donât be anxious, there is still a turnaround in this matter, His Majesty has already summoned the Ji familyâs Second Young Master into the palace to check Madameâs pulse, if itâs indeed true that the child in Madameâs belly has issues, he will surely propose to take her back to the Ji family for convenient treatment.
By then you can agree to it accordingly.
Not only should you agree, but you should also reward them to demonstrate the Emperorâs great benevolence."
Nanny Xiaoâs words were understood by the Empress Dowager, and she also realized how to handle the situation!
"You handle this matter! Open my small treasury, pick out the finest gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, and thatâs right, itâs said that people raise jade and pearls raise people.
I remember, a few years ago, a small foreign country offered some evenly translucent Eastern pearls, go find someone to make a bracelet for Madame."
Nanny Xiao was slightly dazed upon hearing this, her heart nearly skipping a beat.
"Your Highness, such large and crystal-clear pearls, piercing them would be such a waste!"
"Alas...Things lying around are just dead objects, not giving them to people to wear, they only gather dust in the warehouse.
To make a bracelet you donât need the very large ones, bring them to me, Iâll personally pick out the smooth and shiny, evenly matched ones of similar size for it.
As for those especially large ones, like the size of night pearls, bring two over, good things come in pairs, order the Jewelry Department to immediately create a double-headed hairpin, and give it out together!"
