Concubine Jing had basically grown up under her watch. Seeing her in such a state now, it was obvious that she had been wronged in the palace.
"This... Concubine Jing may never be able to be a mother again." Mu Fengqie watched as Concubine Jing cried like a child. Her heart ached. How painful it must be for a woman to be deprived of the right to be a mother!
"Is what the princess said true?" Concubine Jing's mother looked at Mu Fengqie in disbelief. Her daughter had only been in the palace for a few days, yet she had suffered such treatment.
Never being able to be a mother for the rest of her life... How much pain must her daughter be in!
"My poor daughter... Wuwuwu... It's mother who has harmed you!" Concubine Jing's mother hugged her daughter and wept. If she hadn't agreed to let her daughter enter the palace back then, this wouldn't have happened.
"Rong'er, tell mother who did this to you. Mother will never let that person go!" Whoever dared to harm her daughter like this, she would surely not spare them.
Hearing this, Concubine Jing just shook her head and cried bitterly. "Mother, it's no use. It's all useless... We can't do anything..." The current emperor, how could they possibly fight against him?
Concubine Jing's mother saw her daughter just shaking her head and saying nothing. She immediately understood... She never thought that the emperor could be such a heartless person, directly stripping her daughter of the right to be a mother.
What on earth did her daughter do wrong!
"In fact, if the empress follows the prescription I've made and takes good care of herself, she can still have children. It's just very difficult, but not impossible." Mu Fengqie's words interrupted the crying mother - daughter duo.
"Does the princess really have a way?" Concubine Jing's mother looked at Mu Fengqie, hope shining in her eyes.
"Yes, but the empress's body has been severely damaged. Even if she recuperates well in the future, her chance of getting pregnant will be much lower than that of an ordinary person." After hearing this, they didn't refuse. Even if the chance was small, there was still a possibility of getting pregnant.
"Please help us, princess." Concubine Jing and her mother knelt on the ground together.
"Please get up quickly. I can't bear such a grand salute." Mu Fengqie quickly helped them up.
"Does the empress have anyone she can trust? This matter should be kept as secret as possible." Otherwise, if someone found out and poisoned her again, she might not be able to do anything.
"Yes, my chief maid, Xiaocui. We grew up together. She is the most trustworthy person." Although the management in her palace was very strict, the only person she could trust was Xiaocui.
"Then that's good. Please ask Miss Xiaocui to come to my place every month to get the medicine." They couldn't get the medicine in the palace, as it was easy to be noticed.
"I understand. I will always remember your great kindness today. In the future, if the princess needs my help, I will spare no effort." Concubine Jing looked at Mu Fengqie gratefully.
If it weren't for her, she might never be able to be a mother. Since she entered the palace, she had always adhered to the principle of "don't attack if not attacked", not competing for anything.
But she never thought that she would be calculated by the emperor. A hint of viciousness flashed in Concubine Jing's eyes. Since the emperor was unkind, don't blame her for being unrighteous.
"Your ladyship, you're welcome. If you really want to help, please find something for Maid Mu to do in the palace. Otherwise, I'm afraid she'll find trouble with me when she's idle." Mu Fengqie wasn't being polite either.
Concubine Jing thought it wasn't a big deal. Everyone in the palace could step on Maid Mu. "Okay, princess, don't worry. I will never let her have a chance."
"Your ladyship, the two people outside can't kneel anymore." Xiaocui knocked on the door and came in.
They couldn't even hold on for such a short time. They were really useless.
"In that case, go and invite Maid Mu here. Tell her that her mother and younger brother are here in my palace. If she doesn't want to come, I'll deal with them as thieves who break into the palace without permission." Concubine Jing tidied herself up and once again looked like a dignified and steady person.
"Yes, I'll go right away." Xiaocui also hated the two people outside. She immediately went to find Maid Mu.
How dare the family members of Maid Mu act arrogantly in front of their empress? Even their mistress didn't dare. Where did they get the nerve?
When Xiaocui arrived at Mu Xingrou's palace, she had just returned from Concubine Hui's place and was now throwing a tantrum in her own palace. When Xiaocui entered, a vase just smashed beside her feet.
"Maid Mu is busy." Xiaocui looked at the mess in the room. This was all she was capable of. She didn't dare to engage in palace intrigue, so she could only vent when no one was around.
As soon as Mu Xingrou saw Xiaocui, she immediately straightened her expression. "Why are you here, Miss Xiaocui?"
"Maid Mu, your mother and younger brother are in our empress's palace. If you're not willing to go and take them away, our empress will have to deal with them as thieves who break into the palace without permission." After saying that, Xiaocui left. She didn't want to stay here for long. What if Maid Mu went crazy and hit her?
Hearing Xiaocui's words, Mu Xingrou was completely stunned. How did they get into the palace? Where did they get the news? After thinking for a while, Mu Xingrou decided to go.
No matter how they got the news, she didn't have anyone she could trust in the palace now. They came just in time. Since they were here, they might as well stay and help.
Only when her status rose could they have a better life, right?
"Your ladyship, Maid Mu is here."
Concubine Jing looked at Mrs. Kong and Mu Rendong kneeling obediently on one side and smiled. "Then please invite Maid Mu in."
Hearing that Mu Xingrou was coming, Mrs. Kong and Mu Rendong immediately perked up. They were finally saved.
"Xingrou, quickly save mother. That bitch called Concubine Jing has made us kneel here for a long time. Mother's legs are all purple." In fact, her legs were fine. She was used to doing farm work and had tough skin. But she just wanted to say so, so that Mu Xingrou would teach that Concubine Jing a lesson.
"Presumptuous! How dare you insult the empress! Someone, slap her mouth!" Xiaocui was standing outside and heard Mrs. Kong's words clearly. She didn't hesitate to teach them a lesson.
"You little bitch. When you see our Xingrou, why don't you quickly pay your respects? How dare a servant interrupt when the master is speaking!" After seeing Mu Xingrou, Mrs. Kong immediately became arrogant.
"Really? Maid Mu, do you have anything to say?" Xiaocui ignored Mrs. Kong. There was no need to waste time on such people who didn't know the rules.
"Miss Xiaocui is right. They don't know the rules. It's right for them to be taught a lesson."
