Xia Dongchun from Legend of Zhen Huan: I want to live till the last episode

After Qi Ling came out of the house, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Instead of waiting for Yun Ling to follow the young lady to complain and snatch away her credit, it would be better for her to take the lead.

But it would be too obvious to go to see the Empress now, and the young lady would definitely find out, so Qi Ling held herself back and planned to go after the young lady had gone to bed at night.

Although the Queen Mother should have been resting at that time, as long as she said it was about Concubine Hua, the Queen Mother would probably be willing to meet her and listen to her.

In the afternoon, Xiao Xiazi came and said, "I greet you, my young master. May you be blessed with good health."

"Xiao Xiazi, why are you here at this time? What does the emperor want?" Xia Dongchun was picking materials. He looked up at Xiao Xiazi, then lowered his head, but his attitude was good.

Xiao Xiazi smiled and said, "My lady, the emperor said that he will come to the Yanxi Palace to accompany you tonight. I came to tell you first so that you can prepare."

"Okay, I got it. Thank you for making this trip." Xia Dongchun gave Yun Ling a look. Yun Ling understood and stepped forward to stuff a purse into Xiao Xiazi as usual. Xiao Xiazi happily took his leave.

Seeing Xiao Xiazi leave, Qi Ling thought for a moment and decided to confirm again: "My lady, since the emperor is coming tonight, why don't we just take this opportunity..."

"Let me think about it again." Xia Dongchun said the same thing.

Seeing this, Qi Ling decided not to waste her energy any more and made up her mind to go find the Queen tonight.

Since the young master was hesitant, she came to help him.

In the evening, after Yinzhen finished handling government affairs in the Yangxin Palace, he took Su Peisheng to the Yanxi Palace. When Su Peisheng passed the message, Xia Dongchun was already waiting outside with people. When she saw Yinzhen, she bowed first: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

Yinzhen cleared his throat and said, "Just wait in the house. It's almost autumn. Although it's still hot during the day, it's cool at night. Zhao'er, please take care of yourself."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xia Dongchun stood up and went into the house with Yinzhen.

Since Qi Ling didn't need to serve her tonight, she took advantage of no one's attention and ran out of the Yanxi Palace.

The clouds and rain had just stopped, and thunder was heard outside, soon followed by the sound of raindrops falling. Yinzhen glanced at Xia Dongchun beside him, but remembered that Zhen Huan was afraid of thunder.

Just as I was thinking about it, I was brought back to my senses by the crying of a baby.

"Is Lingyuan crying?" Yinzhen looked outside.

Xia Dongchun couldn't help but sit up, frowning slightly: "I'm afraid the thunder was too loud and scared the princess, Your Majesty...I'll go and take a look."

Yinzhen also sat up: "Why do you have to make another trip? Ask the nurses to bring Ling Yuan here, so I can take a look at her too."

"Yes." Xia Dongchun nodded. It didn't matter whether she went or Ling Yuan came.

"Su Peisheng!" Yinzhen raised his voice, "Go and ask the wet nurses to bring Ling Yuan here so that I and Concubine Zhao can take a look."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Su Peisheng responded from outside and went to call the wet nurse.

Yinzhen got out of bed, and Xia Dongchun followed closely behind him, picking up the coat beside him and putting it on him: "Since the emperor said it's cold at night, I should also pay more attention to it."

Yinzhen looked at Xia Dongchun with satisfaction, then went to the outer room and sat waiting.

Xia Dongchun also put on his clothes and followed him out.

Soon, the nurse came in, holding Ling Yuan, whose face was red from crying. As soon as she came in, she knelt down and apologized: "I deserve to die. I failed to coax the princess and disturbed the emperor and the young lady."

"Why is the princess crying so hard? Her face is red." Yinzhen frowned. After all, he hadn't fallen asleep yet, so there was no point in making a fuss. He just felt unhappy because little Lingyuan looked so miserable.

"To reply to the emperor, the princess is still young and was frightened by the thunder." The wet nurse trembled with fear.

Xia Dongchun sighed: "Hand the princess over to me, I'll take a look."

The wet nurse quickly stood up and handed Ling Yuan to Xia Dongchun.

I don’t know if it was because the mother and daughter were connected in heart, or if the relationship between them was really so magical, but after Xia Dongchun held Ling Yuan and coaxed her for a while, Ling Yuan stopped crying.

The wet nurses had a hard time expressing their grievances, as if they had deliberately made the princess cry for so long.

Fortunately, Xia Dongchun spoke before Yinzhen: "Your Majesty, it seems that the princess can sense it. She is not afraid now that her father is here."

Yinzhen wanted to blame the wet nurse for not doing her best, but when Xia Dongchun said this, he felt relieved and stopped scolding the wet nurse. He turned to see Ling Yuan and said to Xia Dongchun, "You are always sweet-talking. Ling Yuan is still young, how can she know these things?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know, it is precisely because Ling Yuan is still young and knows nothing that her father-daughter relationship with you seems even deeper. She knows without being taught that it is her royal father who has come, and she also knows that her royal father will protect her, so she stopped crying immediately." Xia Dongchun looked at his daughter's little face, his heart softened, and his words became sweeter.

Lingyuan is still young and can't speak, so she has to say more so that Yinzhen will love and care for Lingyuan more.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Yinzhen laughed out loud and was very satisfied.

Xia Dongchun frowned secretly - what if he laughed so loudly and woke Ling Yuan up again?

But she soon regained her smile: "Your Majesty, please don't laugh. I am telling you the truth. In the previous few times when it thundered and rained, even if I brought Ling Yuan to my place, I had to coax her for a long time before she would stop crying. But today, she fell asleep as soon as I coaxed her. Isn't it because Your Majesty is here?"

Yinzhen stood up, reached out and touched Lingyuan's little face, and said, "Since Lingyuan is asleep, let the wet nurse take her away."

Xia Dongchun said, "I will send the princess back. Your Majesty, go to sleep first."

Just as Yinzhen was about to agree, there was another thunder. This time there was no sound of children crying, and his thoughts drifted away again.

Huanhuan...

On the other side, Qi Ling had already met the queen.

The Queen had already gone to bed, but when she heard that the matter was related to Concubine Hua, she thought for a moment and then went to see Qi Ling.

"What exactly is going on?" The Queen took a sip of water and didn't even glance at Qi Ling who was kneeling below her. "Do you know what the crime is for disturbing me in the middle of the night?"

Qi Ling swallowed her saliva, her hands shaking with nervousness: "I know, but this matter is of great importance. I dare not delay any longer, so I had to come here at night. I am sorry for disturbing Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Jian Qiu and the Queen looked at each other and stepped forward and said, "You keep saying that this matter concerns Concubine Hua and Princess Wen Yi. What is going on? Explain it clearly, and the Queen will naturally not blame you."

After being comforted by Jianqiu, Qi Ling calmed down a little: "Your Majesty, I accidentally heard the conversation between Concubine Cao and Princess Wen Yi's wet nurse in the Imperial Garden today. The wet nurse said that Concubine Hua fed Princess Wen Yi a tranquilizer to prevent her from crying. After hearing this, I was terrified and didn't know what to do, so I went back to Yanxi Palace to discuss it with Yunling. Unexpectedly, Yunling didn't allow me to tell anyone. But this matter concerns the princess, and I... I really don't dare to hide this matter, so I can only tell you, Your Majesty, and ask you to make the decision for the princess."
