Chapter 374: The Fox Goddess Who Was Calculated During the Tribulation 23
"The queen is safe now. Nothing will happen to her anymore."
After hearing Li Jingxun's question, Azhi responded calmly.
When Li Jingxun faced Azhi's respectful yet obviously distant tone, the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became a little awkward.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, leaving only the sound of each other's breathing.
Seeing that it was getting late and it would be dark any later, Eunuch Guan remembered that he still had the responsibility to send Ah Zhi back home.
Eunuch Guan came forward and reminded softly, "Your Highness, it's getting late. Madam Yu is pregnant now, so she needs to go home and rest as soon as possible."
Li Jingxun nodded slightly to show his agreement.
"Okay, let's go."
After getting permission, Ah Zhi responded respectfully, "I'll take my leave."
Then he turned and walked towards the sedan chair parked not far away.
Guan Gonggong hurriedly followed, came to Ah Zhi's side, raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and said politely, "Madam, please get in the sedan chair."
Ah Zhi nodded slightly, lifted her skirt and carefully got into the sedan chair.
After she sat firmly, the sedan chair moved forward slowly.
As the sedan chair that Ah Zhi was riding in went farther and farther away, it gradually disappeared at the end of the palace road.
Li Jingxun still stood there quietly, his eyes deep and distant, as if he wanted to track Ah Zhi's departing figure through the numerous palace gates.
The scene of his conversation with Azhi just now kept appearing in his mind.
Especially Azhi's every smile, every move, all gave him an indescribable sense of familiarity.
It felt as if they had known each other before.
But at the same time, a trace of doubt arose in Li Jingxun's heart.
He subconsciously reached out and touched his chest, trying to calm the inexplicable restlessness in his heart.
No matter how hard he tried, that strange feeling always lingered in his mind, leaving him puzzled.
On the other side, Azhi, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was also full of doubts at this moment.
He successfully saw through the conspiracy carefully planned by Li Jingxun and Wutong, causing them to suffer severe punishment from heaven.
These two people should hate me to the core.
But why is it that when we met today, I couldn't sense any hatred from Li Jingxun's words and actions?
Is there some hidden secret?
Li Jingxun didn't rush up to kill him, and acted as if he didn't know him.
This was unexpected for Ah Zhi. Could it be that Li Jingxun had lost his memory?
Ah Zhi raised his handkerchief and placed it on the tip of his nose and laughed. That was really funny.
I just don’t know where the Phoenix Goddess Wutong is.
Li Jingxun, who has lost his memory, is not to be feared. Ah Zhi is more afraid of Wutong.
Unlike Li Jingxun's love-brained personality, Wutong prefers to use others to achieve his goals.
On the surface, it was Li Jingxun who was hurting himself, but in fact, Wutong was the culprit behind the scenes.
While Ahzhi was lost in thought, the sedan chair had already stopped in front of Yu's house.
Wei Suzhi had been waiting outside the mansion early. As soon as she saw Ah Zhi getting off the sedan chair, she went to greet her with an anxious look on her face.
"Nannan, where have you been? The maid said she couldn't see you when she turned around. I was so scared. I thought we lost you again."
It is true that once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Ah Zhi had only been away for an afternoon, but Wei Suzhi was scared out of her wits.
Now Azhi is still pregnant, and Wei Suzhi has never allowed Azhi to go out.
Unable to resist Ah Zhi's suggestion that he wanted to go out and relax, Wei Suzhi reluctantly agreed to let Ah Zhi take the maid out for a walk.
Originally, Wei Suzhi wanted to go out with Azhi, but Nan Nian was used to staying by her side.
If she didn't see Wei Suzhi, she would make a scene. She thought that Nan Nian was still young and shouldn't go out too much, so she didn't follow Azhi out of the house.
Seeing the worry on Wei Suzhi's face, Ah Zhi held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. I'm fine. I just took down the imperial edict and went to the palace to treat the imperial concubine."
Now that the Yu family lives in the capital, Wei Suzhi has heard something about what's happening in the outside world.
She had known about Concubine Chen's illness for a long time.
In order to get Concubine Chen treated, the emperor spared no expense to post imperial edicts everywhere, seeking people with real medical skills to treat her.
However, Concubine Chen's illness has not improved until now. Some of the doctors who entered the palace were frauds, and some were beheaded for speaking inappropriately.
Wei Suzhi didn't expect Azhi to be so bold that she actually dared to take down the imperial edict and enter the palace to treat Concubine Chen.
The patience of the current emperor has been greatly worn out. He has seen countless people being punished for offending him, yet Ah Zhi still deliberately removed the imperial edict to get ahead.
She pulled Azhi up and down to look him up, making sure that he had no wounds, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why do you want to go to the palace to treat the imperial concubine? Nannan, we can't do such risky things again in the future."
"If you disturb His Majesty, you will have no more heads than you can chop off."
Ah Zhi smiled at Wei Suzhi with concern and said, "It's okay, mother, don't worry. Your daughter won't do anything that she is not sure of."
"The queen's illness has been cured by my daughter. I entered the palace for another reason. Mother, do you still remember that Nancy Tang is an orphan?"
"In fact, his relatives are in the palace. This time I entered the palace also to solve the mystery of his life experience."
"In the palace?"
Wei Suzhi's eyes widened in disbelief, "You mean Nanxitang is the third prince of Concubine Chen who was left behind? Really? Is this a mistake? I actually want the third prince to be my son-in-law?"
Wei Suzhi and Yu Qingbai have always had a little thought, which is that they are reluctant to let their daughter live outside.
He wanted to coax Nan Xitang to stay in the Yu family as a son-in-law, so that Azhi wouldn't have to move out with him.
If Nancy Tang is really the third prince, then their plan will fail.
How could the third prince possibly become a son-in-law of an ordinary family?
Azhi nodded towards Wei Suzhi.
"Yes, my husband is indeed the Third Prince. He has entered the palace to recognize his relatives today. The world is about to change."
Thinking about what the outside world has said about how much the current emperor loves Concubine Chen.
Wei Suzhi boldly guessed that Nancy Tang was very likely to become the crown prince.
If this is true, what should I do with my daughter?
Wei Suzhi looked at Ah Zhi with some concern and asked, "If Nanxitang is really the Third Prince, and he has returned to his ancestral home, what will happen to you, Nian Nian, and the baby in your belly?"
Such concerns are not without reason. How could the royal family allow the third prince's child to be stranded outside?
But Azhi's identity is not enough to make her a prince's consort, so she will be abandoned.
Is my own daughter going to be someone's concubine?
Wei Suzhi couldn't help but look uneasy when she thought about her daughter being wronged.
Ah Zhi held Wei Suzhi's hand and said calmly, "It all depends on Nan Xitang's choice, but I believe he will not let me down."
Azhi saved Concubine Chen's life today. This is a breakthrough for Nancy Hall. It depends on how Nancy Hall will operate.
The next day, Li Xian announced to the world that his third prince had been found and Nancy Tang had restored his original surname.
However, thinking of his grandfather who raised him, he chose to change only his surname and not his name.
The first thing Li Xitang did after returning to his ancestral home was to ask Concubine Chen to make Azhi his princess consort.
I thought it would take some effort to persuade Concubine Chen, but I didn't expect her to agree so readily.
How can I not agree?
It is really hard to find such a good daughter-in-law even with a lantern.
Thinking of the divine power that Azhi had transferred into her body, she roughly guessed the other party's identity.
Even if he is not a god in heaven, he must be a powerful being with some cultivation.
No matter who the other party is, there is no doubt that he saved himself.
Since her own son was so in love with her, Concubine Chen naturally didn't want to disappoint Li Xitang.
But Li Xian disagreed.
He looked at Li Xitang and said disapprovingly, "You are my third prince. You should understand that I have high hopes for you. This Yu family cannot be a help to you."
"She is just an ordinary merchant's daughter. How can she become your legal wife? I have thought about it carefully for you."
"Yu Shi did give birth to a daughter for you, and now she is pregnant with your child. The status of a concubine is already high."
"You haven't even got a royal consort yet, but you let her enter as a concubine. I think you won't wrong her."
Li Xian was busy making arrangements for Li Xitang.
However, Li Xitang knelt on the ground and disagreed, "Father, I know you are planning for me, but Yu Youzi is my wife, and this is a fact that cannot be changed."
"Even though she is not of high status, I would rather give up my status as a prince and make her my legal wife, sharing the same bed with her and the same grave with her."
Looking at Li Xitang with a stubborn face.
This made Li Xian scold him harshly, "Listen to what you are saying? You are willing to give up your status as a prince for a woman? Li Xitang, you are simply confused!"
"Father, I have heard from my mother about you and my grandfather. Back then, you did not let my mother marry you for the throne. Have you ever regretted it over the years? Do you feel that you owe my mother?"
Unexpectedly, Li Xitang mentioned Li Xian's past. Li Xian, who was originally very angry, was stunned.
I couldn't help but think of the scene when I got married and Concubine Chen stood lonely under the moon.
At this time, a sound of light footsteps was heard, and Han Chan appeared in the hall supporting Concubine Chen.
I saw Concubine Chen preparing to salute Li Xian, and Li Xian hurriedly stepped forward to support her and spoke with concern.
"What are you doing here? You seem to be feeling better now, so don't go out in the wind. What if you catch a cold?"
Concubine Chen followed Li Xian's movements and stood up.
"I want to see how your majesty and the emperor are discussing this."
Concubine Chen is feeling much better now, but her face still looks a little pale.
Her already light and slender body now looks even thinner, and she looks indescribably weak and frail when she walks.
Li Xian helped her to sit on the dragon throne with concern, and considerately took out a blanket to cover her.
The seriousness she had shown when facing Li Xitang just now turned into tenderness when facing Concubine Chen.
He said to Concubine Chen, "It's okay. It's just about the matter of Yu. I think Yu's status is too low. I still need to find a wife with a noble family background for the third son."
"This way, he can be a good helper when he becomes the crown prince."
Li Xian made no secret of his desire to make Li Xitang the crown prince, without considering his other sons at all.
Li Xian had been under pressure to not appoint a crown prince all these years because he wanted to find the third prince born to him and Concubine Chen. The position of crown prince was reserved for him.
Concubine Chen had long guessed that Li Xian would not be satisfied with Azhi, and she thought about what she had promised Li Xitang.
She revealed her gentle side and whispered, "Your Majesty, I like Yu Youzi very much. She saved my life and saved my life from being separated from Your Majesty."
"Now that she has the emperor's child, why can't she be the emperor's wife?"
"Looking at the prince and her, I can't help but think of our past. Back then, the late emperor insisted on letting you marry the queen. Do you think the queen is happy now?"
"It is undoubtedly my regret that I cannot become your Majesty's wife. I don't want my children to have regrets throughout their lives."
Some things still had to be handled by Concubine Chen. Li Xitang was unable to persuade Li Xian, but she made Li Xian's eyes red with just a few words.
He looked at Concubine Chen distressedly and said, "Okay, I will listen to you in everything. This Yu is really good. She is pregnant with the third prince's child and she saved your life. I will decree that she will be the third prince's consort."
Li Xitang was shocked to see Li Xian's expression change so quickly.
Concubine Chen smiled gently at Li Xian, leaned into his arms and nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. This helps my son and also makes up for the regret in my heart."
In fact, Concubine Chen really didn't feel any regrets. What happened back then was long gone, and Concubine Chen didn't take it to heart at all.
However, she knew that in Li Xian's mind, what happened back then was like a hurdle that he could not get over, and he always felt that he had treated himself unfairly.
Now, Guifei Chen only needed to say two words to make Li Xian agree to let Azhi be the third prince's consort.
Li Xitang successfully brought the imperial edict to Yu Mansion and personally handed it to Azhi.
He stared at Ah Zhi with bright eyes and said, "Three months later, we will have our wedding again, and then you will be my real wife."
Azhi threw herself into Li Xitang's arms holding the imperial edict.
"Husband."
Li Xian and Concubine Chen did not know Nan Nian's true identity and only thought that Nan Nian was Li Xitang's biological daughter.
The next day, he issued an edict to confer the title of princess on Nan Nian, and asked Azhi to take Nan Nian into the palace.
The decree to allow Nan Nian to enter the palace really made Azhi feel troubled.
Nan Nian was not Nan Xitang's biological daughter, so it was not right for her to be brought into the palace.
I can see that Azhi is worried about Nan Nian.
Li Xitang supported Ah Zhi and comforted her, "You don't have to worry too much about Nian Nian's affairs. I have already asked my father and mother in advance."
"After all, this Grandpa Nan has done me a favor. Nan Nian will still use the surname Nan in the future. The status of the princess is to compensate her. It is reasonable. Don't think there is anything wrong with it."
