Chapter 764
"What...what do you mean? Why can't I hold the little prince?" The Empress Dowager glared at her angrily and reached out to take the child.
Yun Xiyue gestured for someone to take the children away. "Empress Dowager, the babies are already asleep, and you are not feeling well and still smell of medicine on you, which will wake them up."
The Empress Dowager had just recovered from a serious illness and was still taking medicine. Hearing this, she thought that the Empress Dowager was showing disdain for her.
"The smell of medicine on me isn't poison. The child is asleep; he's so young, you can't wake him up no matter what. Do you think I've never taken care of a child before?"
"Quickly bring the child over here. This is my grandson. You have no right to prevent me from seeing them."
Yun Xiyue didn't argue, as any movement aggravated her wound. "Empress Dowager, I am unwell. If you wish to see the child, you may go and find the Emperor. His Majesty has decreed that no one other than those from the Jiaofang Palace may approach the child without my permission."
The Empress Dowager was furious but could only glare helplessly as the child was taken away.
She couldn't very well go in and steal it.
Now is the time for Yunxi Yue to recover from childbirth. If the child is really taken away, the Emperor will definitely be angry.
"Hmph! Then I'll wait until you're out of confinement."
It won't make a difference if we stay a few days longer.
Yun Xiyue felt irritated as she watched the person leave. A grandmother who wanted a child was heartless and only wanted to use the child. She didn't want her to get close to the child.
"Where is the Emperor?!"
Granny Chen said, "Prime Minister Pei has entered the palace and is in the Imperial Study."
......
"You want to stay in the capital? That's fine, but tell me who conspired with you to harm A-Yue this time."
Pei Zhili's expression changed slightly, and his lips twitched. "Your Majesty, what I said is true. I really did it all by myself. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
"It means that both A Shang and A Heng were kept in the dark."
Murong Yu smiled slightly, "Then why did you do that?"
"It is for the Emperor, and for the stability and prosperity of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"I know Your Majesty thinks that I said this because Fangfang is not the Empress, and that I am deliberately targeting the Yun family."
Pei Zhili paused, then said, "It is true that I have my own selfish motives, but it is for your sake and for the sake of the Great Xia dynasty. No matter what, I am still your uncle."
"Over the years, we have been vying for power in the court, and we have had many different ideas and political views, but I have never plotted against the Emperor."
He spoke with absolute certainty.
Murong Yu laughed and said, "You think you haven't harmed me by hurting my wife and children?"
"It seems I have been too merciful. I should let you experience firsthand what it means to lose a child."
A murderous glint appeared in his eyes.
Pei Zhili's heart trembled. "Your Majesty, I told you that I did everything myself and that it has nothing to do with Aheng. If you want to kill someone, then kill me."
"Hmph, I won't. I'll make sure you live a good life."
"Watching my most beloved daughter and son die tragically because of my stupidity."
Before he could argue any further, she ordered him to be dragged out and sent back to the Pei family.
It would be too embarrassing to be dragged out.
Pei Zhili had never been so humiliated. "Let go, I will walk by myself."
"If Your Majesty has the ability, then kill the entire Pei family. Otherwise, if Fangfang and Aheng get into trouble, I will risk my old life to drag your Murong family down with me."
Murong Yu's face turned ashen, fearing that he would further anger the emperor.
Shen Yue and Leng Yan quickly came in and pulled the person away.
We arrived at the Jiaofang Palace.
Murong Yu's anger subsided when he saw Yun Xiyue and the child.
"Ayue."
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Yun Xiyue had just finished breastfeeding Erbao, who was being held in her arms. She had only fed him one feeding at a time.
Three children, and sometimes there isn't enough to eat.
They can only take turns.
"I am fine. Has the Empress Dowager come by?"
Yun Xiyue smiled wryly, "Mm."
She was also quite angry, but not as much as Murong Yu.
“I don’t want the Empress Dowager to get close to the child. You know she only wants to use the child. If the baby is frequently in contact with her in the future, I’m afraid she will corrupt the child.”
She might badmouth herself in front of the children.
