Chapter 1109: Chapter 1013: Xiyue is Pregnant
Su Pan’er’s smile on her face was somewhat stiff.
"Xiyue, you..."
But Feng Xiyue, without lifting her head, remained kneeling, "May the Empress dismiss everyone around, as your servant has something to say to you." Feng Xiyue bowed again.
Su Pan’er glanced at Feng Xiyue a few times, but she could only see her forehead, and slowly, the smile faded, and she waved a hand.
"All of you leave us."
Only after the Court Ladies and Internal Attendants had left did she speak indifferently, "You may speak now."
She also understood that what she had forced Feng Xiyue to do before, to feign a pregnancy, indeed was quite unreasonable. However, she had given her a chance to consider it at the time. Feng Xiyue took nearly two months to act, presumably having thought through an exit strategy. Now she wanted to speak alone; could it be something important?
Feng Xiyue lifted her head, glanced at Su Pan’er, and bowed again, "Empress, Xiyue deserves to die! Xiyue... is pregnant..."
Su Pan’er nodded.
"A eunuch has reported earlier, saying the Imperial Physician had already examined you. You are carrying the dragon spawn. Congratulations are in order, from this palace to ’Feng Gui Ren.’"
"It’s not that."
Feng Xiyue bit her lip, raised her head, and stared into Su Pan’er’s eyes, "Xiyue means that Xiyue is pregnant!"
"Hm, this palace is aware..." Su Pan’er stared at her face, and the rest of her words stuck in her throat, "You mean, you’re pregnant?" She spoke slowly, pausing between each word.
"Indeed, Xiyue is pregnant."
Feng Xiyue did not avoid her gaze.
"You are pregnant!"
This was a statement, but also a question. Su Pan’er could no longer hold herself back, suddenly stepped forward, and seized Feng Xiyue’s hand, her face turning pale, and her whole body swayed as if about to fall.
But Feng Xiyue quickly stood up to support her, urgently trying to explain.
"Empress, please do not be angry! Do you remember, two months ago, Xiyue had gone to Quiet Cloud Nunnery to visit Senior Imperial Concubine Hua..."
"Senior Imperial Concubine Hua?"
This so-called Senior Imperial Concubine was actually the favored concubine of the previous emperor saved by Su Pan’er, also Qin Feimo’s birth mother. After Qin Yi became emperor, he had visited Quiet Cloud Nunnery, trying to persuade Imperial Consort Hua to renounce her vows and move into the Inner Court of the Imperial Palace. Unexpectedly, Imperial Consort Hua, who was once a queen, did not wish to renounce her monastic life and continued residing in Quiet Cloud Nunnery. Qin Yi, having no other choice, bestowed upon her the title Senior Imperial Concubine Hua, and she continued her religious practices in the nunnery.
The moment Feng Xiyue mentioned Senior Imperial Concubine Hua, countless ideas flashed through Su Pan’er’s mind.
In the next instant, she broke into a cold sweat!
"Do you, do you realize that this is a capital offense?"
A fake pregnancy could still be dealt with by fabricating a miscarriage or something of the sort. At worst, one would be punished, and the affair would be over.
But now, Feng Xiyue was truly pregnant!
If this child were to be born, they would bear the lifelong shame of being a "false imperial heir." Once this matter came to light, neither she nor anyone involved would be able to escape punishment!
Silence spread silently and certainly through the room.
The news of Feng Gui Ren also conceiving the dragon spawn was spreading like wildfire within the palace, and the most furious person was none other than Liu Jieyu!
She was well aware of the origins of her so-called five-month belly. The thought that others had used the same tricks she had employed filled her with a rage so intense she felt like devouring Feng Xiyue alive!
Regardless of how unseemly her demeanor might appear, she marched with a group of servants, bristling with anger, towards the Autumn Fragrance Pavilion.
The sight of her fierce and terrifying appearance made all the court ladies and internal attendants on the road retreat one after another.
Marching towards the Autumn Fragrance Pavilion, they didn’t even wait for the eunuch on duty to make a report before her subordinates had thrown the opponent aside, and Liu Xuan’er strutted confidently into the inner court.
In the house, Su Pan’er and Feng Xiyue quietly faced each other.
Feng Xiyue clenched her fists tightly, standing motionless in her original spot.
Su Pan’er’s face was pale, her forehead’s veins bulging wildly, uncertain whether she should stake her entire life on this gamble.
"Have you really thought this through?" Su Pan’er suddenly spoke.
Feng Xiyue was taken aback, "What does Empress mean?"
"Have you truly, absolutely, positively decided to give birth to this child?"
"Indeed! This is my child."
Feng Xiyue spoke with such certainty, her hands slowly caressing her still-flat stomach, the radiance of motherhood unmistakably shining through in that moment.
"I once thought I would never have the chance to be a mother in this lifetime. But I never expected... when it comes down to it, I should in fact be thankful to you, Empress. It was you who moved Xiyue to contemplate this, and ultimately fulfill my heart’s desire. I will never forget the great kindness and favor you have shown me!"
"Heh, you say that so nicely. Is this how you repay kindness?"
Su Pan’er’s voice uncontrollably rose in pitch, her body trembling uncontrollably.
She was afraid!
It wasn’t the fallout of this matter involving her that she feared, but the safety of her two children. Would there be any unbroken eggs in a nest that has been overturned? Once this affair became known, not only could she not escape involvement, but even Little Yanyan and Little Sugar Bean, she feared, would be dragged into this mire.
And this, she simply could not tolerate!
This comment finally made the expression on Feng Xiyue’s face waver, she thudded to her knees and lunged forward to embrace Su Pan’er’s feet, "Empress, I also want to be a mother to a child, I also desire a child of my own. Boy or girl, it doesn’t matter, I can give up everything else, I just want him! Just him!"
She shouted these words with tearing voice!
Liu Xuan’er entered from the outside, hearing Feng Xiyue’s shout from afar and immediately sneered twice! She quickened her pace without help.
Su Pan’er closed her eyes, a look of utter confusion in her eyes.
"Yes! You only think of your child, but what of mine?"
Feng Xiyue’s crying suddenly choked off, just as she was about to speak, the room’s door was at that moment kicked open with a "bang" from the outside.
"Look, look, come take a look, only a lowly person like you could cry out such words as wanting only him."
Her words arrived before she did.
Following the speech, Liu Xuan’er stepped through the doorway. As she rounded the screen, she saw Su Pan’er standing not far in front of her, startling her so much that she immediately masked her rage, her complexion shifting continuously. After a long moment, she finally knelt down, suppressing her anger.
"This humble one, Liu Jieyu, greets the Empress, blessing to your Highness."
"I can’t bear your blessing to your Highness, I would like to live a few years longer."
From the moment Liu Xuan’er entered, Feng Xiyue had released her tight embrace on Su Pan’er’s legs. Su Pan’er took the opportunity to step back and sat down on the chair behind her.
The recent events had already left her feeling exhausted. Her body had originally been somewhat lethargic. Now, getting agitated, she felt increasingly unwell, as if everything around her was spinning, her whole body on the verge of collapse.
Especially upon seeing the uninvited Liu Xuan’er, her heart felt so nauseated that she wanted to vomit.
"Speak! What brings you here at this time? You better not tell me that you came to congratulate ’Feng Gui Ren (honourable person Feng)’—I won’t believe it!"
