Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 947

His face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color, his eyes were sunken, surrounded by dark circles as if stained with ink, and his eyes had lost their former liveliness, leaving only endless weariness and emptiness.

Her hair was loose, with a few strands clinging messily to her cheeks, making her look even more haggard. Her lips were chapped and dry, devoid of any moisture, and though they were slightly parted, they seemed to weigh a ton, and it took a long time before she could utter a weak, hoarse sound.

It seems she was still lying in bed before Yun Xiyue arrived.

Although his clothes were relatively neat, they couldn't hide his weakness and loneliness. He seemed to be shrouded in an inescapable gloom.

"Get up!"

The palace maid helped her up, and Yun Xiyue sat down first, gesturing for her to raise her hand so she could take her pulse and examine her body.

The doctor analyzed what kind of poison she had been given.

It also provides a formula for detoxification.

Yun Xiyue wrote down the prescription and had it sent to the Imperial Hospital to be prepared. She was now pregnant and could not touch these things anymore.

"It's not a big problem." However, Nan Yin used a Gu worm to protect her life, and even after the detoxification, this Gu worm cannot leave her body.

"Where's the baby? Bring him here so I can see him."

Qi Yumin immediately tensed up, but dared not say anything, and asked someone to bring the child over.

The wet nurse came out carrying the child.

The child was very young, still in swaddling clothes, and very weak.

But how can she be called a princess?

He's clearly a boy. The doctor diagnosed him and said his gender was male.

The child is asleep, so it's impossible to tell who he looks like.

The poison in her body was the same as Qi Yumin's, but not as severe.

"The medicine is given to the wet nurse, and then fed to the child through breast milk."

"After about three courses of treatment, the toxins will gradually be detoxified."

Hearing this, Qi Yumin breathed a sigh of relief and hugged the child tightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Yunxi Yue dismissed those around her.

Only the two of them and their sleeping child remained.

Qi Yumin felt uneasy, unsure whether she wanted to say something or had discovered something. Now, she could only keep it a secret.

“There’s no one else here. Tell me the truth, is this child the Emperor’s?” Yun Xiyue stared at her sharply.

Qi Yumin lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the child in her arms. It was unclear what she was thinking. "Yes."

He simply said the word with certainty.

“Sister Xiyue… I know I’m no longer qualified to call you that. But I don’t want to lie to you. This child belongs to the Emperor, but he won’t threaten your son’s position. I won’t compete with you for the Emperor’s favor either. I only hope to have a place in the palace, and my son and I will never disturb your life with the Emperor.”

As she spoke, her shoulders trembled slightly, tears welled up in her eyes, and streamed down her pale and thin cheeks.

One drop after another, like beads falling from a broken string, pattering down.

"I only beg you to let us go... I promise I will not appear before you with the child in Yongning Palace."

Yun Xiyue remained calm, not expecting her to still be lying even now. What was her purpose in doing so?

"If you are worried about your family and children, I can assure you that they will be fine."

Qi Yumin's expression changed slightly, but she still held the child tightly and said, "Your Majesty, this child is the Emperor's flesh and blood. If you don't believe me, you can wait for the Emperor to return and have a blood test to confirm the kinship."

"Alright, since you put it that way, I won't ask you any further questions. You should focus on recovering your health first! The child will grow up day by day, and some things can't be hidden forever." Yun Xiyue got up and left.
