That was indeed the reason. "Mother has not made any enemies in the palace for so many years. If she fakes her pregnancy to become the Empress, how do you expect her to live in the future?"
Consort Duan had a good reputation in the harem. If she really faked her pregnancy to become the Empress, no matter in the imperial court or the harem, Consort Duan would probably be criticized.
However, Wei Ziyao had already thought of this.
"Actually, I've been thinking about this ever since Mother got pregnant."
With that, Wei Ziyao bowed to Ki Chien-chul hypocritically. "I have an idea. I wonder if the Royal Highness is willing to hear it?"
"Tell me, my dear concubine." Ki Chien-chul played along with her childishness.
Wei Ziyao nodded. "Do you still remember … your fifth brother who has already become a monk?"
"You're saying …" Ki Chien-chul suddenly understood.
"Previously, your fifth sister-in-law gave birth to a pair of twins. She killed the son and left the daughter behind. Now, only an old nanny is taking care of her. Her life should be a bit miserable. That little girl did nothing wrong, and she shouldn't have ended up like that. Consort Consort Duan obviously can't give birth to a boy at this time."
The situation in the imperial court was already chaotic. If Consort Duan gave birth to a boy at this time and she was crowned as the Empress, then the situation in the imperial court would only become more chaotic.
But …
"But that child has already been born for about half a year. When Mother gives birth, she'll be more than a year old. There's a huge difference. How can she fake it?"
"There are many ways. Besides … this is the only way now. The Emperor definitely won't let Consort Duan bear the crime of deceiving the Emperor. So, no matter what, he'll get a child to pretend to be the Prince. Instead of getting a child from an outsider, why not …"
Before Wei Ziyao could finish, a burst of hearty laughter came from outside.
"Hahaha … As expected, only you, Wei Ziyao, know me best."
Oh my god!
Wei Ziyao watched as Northern Wen Emperor swaggered in, followed by Hong Hao and Luo Yichen.
"Old man! You're really something, coming to someone's house and eavesdropping? "
At this point, Wei Ziyao glared at Luo Yichen. Luo Yichen and Hong Hao hurriedly knelt down.
"Miss, His Majesty did not allow this to be announced. This subordinate has failed in his duty, please punish me."
"Go to the Disciplinary Hall to receive your punishment!" Wei Ziyao raised her chin.
Even if the Emperor didn't allow it, he couldn't do anything about it. This was his dereliction of duty. Without rules, nothing could be accomplished.
Seeing that the Emperor was dressed in casual clothes and was accompanied by Wei Heng instead of Fu Gonggong, Wei Ziyao knew what he was here for.
"Worried about Number Seven?"
She stepped forward to support the Emperor.
After all, the Emperor was the Emperor. Usually, he did not show his emotions on his face. He had to hide all his thoughts.
He couldn't care less about which child he was worried about and which child he valued.
But he was still a father. How could he not be worried?
Northern Wen Emperor sighed: "If this was in the past, perhaps we wouldn't be worried. But now that I'm old, I'm always worried about these children."
His tone was indeed that of an old man: "Where is that child? How are his injuries?"
"His injuries are very serious. It will take at least a year for him to fully recover. His life can be considered saved."
Indeed, if it wasn't for his good luck, Qi Tianlang might have died long ago.
"Actually, I've been thinking about how to get Old Fifth's daughter into the palace. But her father has left home and is no longer part of the imperial family. Her mother is also a prisoner, so she doesn't have the right to enjoy imperial treatment. Now that I've heard you say this, you've given us a very good suggestion."
Wei Ziyao didn't think much of this, but Ki Chien-chul and Wei Heng felt that the Emperor was indeed old.
If this was in the past, he definitely wouldn't have been soft-hearted and wouldn't have thought of letting that little girl into the palace.
