Chapter 207: Bed Climbing Palace Maid 21
Wei Zhongyan's original plan was to transfer his disciple out of Taiji Hall after he married Chunxi. He couldn't let his disciple have a bad ending in the future.
But isn't it that Wei Yan can't control his own body?
So Wei Zhongyan saw hope. With Chunxi's face, she would definitely be favored. As long as Chunxi gave birth to a prince, with his and Aunt Fang's help, it would not be impossible for her to fight for that position in the future.
As long as Chunxi can become the empress dowager in the future, he can enjoy his old age without worrying about ending up badly.
When Wei Yan found Aunt Fang, he knelt down in front of her and said everything without waiting for her to speak: "Aunt, I know you don't want Chunxi to become the emperor's concubine, but in this situation, Chunxi has only one way to go, otherwise she can only wait to die."
"Aunt, I know what you are worried about, but with you, my master and me, can we not protect Chunxi?"
"I just don't believe it. With so many of us helping Chunxi, we can't let her ascend to that position step by step and make her the most honorable person in the palace..."
"Shut up," Aunt Fang interrupted Wei Yan, "You are risking your life, you dare to say anything. Also, don't you think it's ridiculous that you are acting like you are willing to give up everything for Chunxi?"
Then, Aunt Fang's eyes turned angry: "Chunxi loves you so much, but how did you treat her? Do you know how deeply you hurt her? If I wasn't here, that girl wouldn't want to make me sad, otherwise she might have committed suicide that night."
The reason why Aunt Fang said this was naturally because she wanted to confirm whether Chunxi was really that important to Wei Yan, so important that he would risk his life for her.
It’s no wonder that Aunt Fang wanted to test her like this. It’s because Wei Yan, that bastard, betrayed Chun Xi.
As for what Wei Yan had just said, Aunt Fang was naturally moved. With the help of Wei Yan and Master Fang, even if Chunxi could not become the empress dowager in the future, at least she could be protected in the harem without worries, and there would be no need to worry about her being easily harmed by others.
After all, as the eunuch in charge of the emperor, Wei Zhongyan has an amazing network of contacts, which is totally incomparable to Aunt Fang. The reason why she couldn't make up her mind before was because she didn't have the confidence that she could protect Chunxi.
But now it’s different. Since Master Wei Yan and his apprentice are willing to protect Chunxi, Aunt Fang has nothing to worry about.
"I know I deserve to die," Wei Yan said with a painful look on his face, "but Aunt Fang, I really love Chunxi. Chunxi is my life. If anything happens to her, I won't be able to live anymore."
"I promise you that from now on I will live only for Chun Xi. For her, I can do anything, even if it means killing the king."
"Alas!" Aunt Fang sighed, "Why did you do this? If you love Chunxi so much, why did you betray her? If you hadn't betrayed Chunxi, you could have become an enviable couple. But because you couldn't control your body, you let someone easily tempt you and easily betrayed the relationship between you and Chunxi."
"So Wei Yan," Aunt Fang looked at Wei Yan straight in the eyes, "Tell me, can I believe what you say now? After all, if you can betray Chunxi once, you will do it a second time. So why do you think that I can believe what you say now?"
"Aunt Fang, I swear to you that I will never betray Chunxi again. Some things are done wrong once, and I have no chance of recovery. With such a painful lesson, how could I make the same mistake again?"
Aunt Fang didn't say anything right away, but stared at Wei Yan for a while before she said, "Okay, I'll trust you once more, but remember this, if you dare to betray Chunxi again, I'll kill you even if it means sacrificing my own life."
"Don't worry, auntie," Wei Yan raised his hand and swore, "I, Wei Yan, swear here that if I ever do anything to let Chunxi down again, I will not die a good death and will not be reincarnated after death."
"Alright, hurry up and get up!" Aunt Fang's face looked much better. "The Emperor is almost leaving the court, hurry back and do your job."
"When will Aunt Fang go to see the Emperor?" Wei Yan stood up and looked at Aunt Fang eagerly and asked:
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Aunt Fang glared at Wei Yan. "Even if I want to ask the emperor for help, I have to wait until the emperor is free after finishing his work. Then I can ask the emperor for help."
"Then I will go back to work first. When the emperor is free, I will send someone to inform Aunt Fang." As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yan turned around and left in a hurry. After all, it was almost time for the emperor to leave court.
Aunt Fang came to ask for an audience with the Emperor at dusk.
"I have served Your Majesty wholeheartedly for so many years and have never asked Your Majesty for anything. Please, Your Majesty, take my goddaughter out of the Concubine Chen's palace for my loyalty. I have no other choice but to come and beg Your Majesty." Aunt Fang knelt on the ground and said with tears in her eyes:
"Aunt, please get up!" The emperor looked at Aunt Fang and said, "You have been serving me since I was six years old. You almost lost your life for me during that time when the smoke of war was everywhere. So how could I not grant your request?"
The emperor really had not expected that Concubine Chen was also thinking of having a surrogate mother. The concubines in the harem who asked the palace maids to have a surrogate mother were all planning to kill the mother and keep the child. This situation was not uncommon in the harem of the late emperor at that time.
What the emperor did not expect was that such a thing would happen in his harem, and the one who happened to be the concubine was Concubine Chen, who was deeply favored by him and had always shown her deep love for him.
The Emperor was able to fight his way out of the previous Emperor's group of princes, so naturally he would not believe that a woman loved him deeply. However, Concubine Chen was more to his liking, so he was happy to play along with her.
"I thank the emperor for his grace," Aunt Fang kowtowed to the emperor respectfully, then stood up and wiped her tears, "Then I will take my leave first."
When Aunt Fang came out of the imperial study, Wei Yan immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Aunt, how is it, did the emperor agree?"
"It's just a small matter. Considering my loyalty over the years, how could the emperor not agree?" Aunt Fang looked at Wei Yan dissatisfiedly. "You look so impatient and not steady at all. If you want to help Chunxi, you must be calm first. Otherwise, let alone help Chunxi, you'd better not cause trouble for her."
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Fang got up and left.
Wei Yan showed a relieved expression, but then his expression turned bitter and sad.
