Yun Xi hesitated for a moment, but decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.

"Sister Wen, Xiao Chenyi has given me the right to dispose of the concubines of the late queen."

She paused for a moment and said cruelly, "According to Mr. Wang, the emperor can only survive for seven or eight days at most. And my idea is that it is best for the concubines of the late emperor not to stay in the palace any longer."

Concubine Wen looked worried: "Then... sister, have you thought about how to arrange us?"

"I have some preliminary ideas. It's a good thing that my sister is here. Please help me to find out if it's appropriate."

"Well, you said."

"I want the mother of those princes and princesses to live with them." Yun Xi said her first arrangement.

"Well, this practice has been used in the past dynasties." Concubine Wen nodded, "Then where do you want them to live?"

"They must move out of the palace." Yun Xi frowned, "But where exactly should they live in the future? I need to discuss this with Xiao Chenyi. Those princes are not easy to deal with."

If we put them in the capital, they can be easily controlled under our noses; or if we drive them away from afar, out of sight, out of mind. It all depends on Xiao Chenyi's opinion.

"There are now four princes and four princesses of the late emperor in the palace. Two of the princesses still have no mothers, so they were later fostered by other concubines."

Concubine Wen hesitated for a moment, bit her lip and said, "But the two mothers who took them in were not sincere to them. If my sister lets the princess live with them, it may not be a good thing."

"Really?" Yun Xi frowned.

Then the two princesses can’t live with their mother.

If a good princess was tortured by the two concubines who were expelled, she would become a sinner.

"I wonder what their personalities are like?" Yun Xi asked.

She likes to act decisively. If the princess had an arrogant and domineering personality, she would have no reason to hesitate.

"The two princesses are still young, one is eight years old and the other is five years old. At present, they both seem timid and quiet. They may be afraid of being scolded by the two mother concubines." Concubine Wen showed heartache on her face.

"What about the families of the two concubines who raised them?" The old emperor must have some connections to allow him to give the children to them. He needs to win them over.

"One is from the general's family, and the other is from the grand tutor's family. But neither of them is a legitimate daughter." Concubine Wen briefly introduced the situation of the two concubines.

To put it simply, these two women are usually domineering, but they are very gentle and well-behaved in front of the old emperor, and they are very good at pretending.

"I happened to see scars from being pinched and beaten on the little princess' body before." Concubine Wen said with red eyes.

"You little person, your body is covered with scars, but you don't even dare to say it hurts."

Yun Xi frowned when she heard this.

The old emperor is such a bad guy!

He takes electives every year and tries new things every year. He forgets the old one when he has a new one. He also doesn't care about the children he has. He is a complete scumbag!

The women in the harem use many tricks to win favor.

The biological mothers of the two little princesses were probably killed during childbirth. Who made them pregnant?

"Where do they live now? Oh, no need. I can't remember even if you tell me now. Tell my maid later and I'll go and take a look secretly."

She wants to catch him red-handed.

In order to rescue the child from the clutches of the devil, you must always find a legitimate reason that can convince others.

"Well, that's best." Concubine Wen sat on the side with a slightly nervous look on her face, tightly twisting the handkerchief in her hands.

After hesitating for a moment, she stood up and saluted, saying sincerely, "Your Majesty, I came here today to ask for something."

As she spoke, her eyes were filled with determination and expectation.

Yun Xi raised her eyes slightly, with a bit of doubt and concern in her eyes: "Sister, please feel free to speak. There is no need to be so polite between you and me, sisters."

Concubine Wen took a deep breath, as if she had mustered up her courage, and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, I want to adopt two former princesses. Having been in this palace for many years, I know how difficult it was for the princesses.

Moreover, everyone in my family is fighting for their own interests, and family affection is weak, which is really not what I want.

If I were asked to leave the palace and return to my parents' home, I would be very reluctant. "

At this point, a hint of determination appeared on her face:

"I don't want to be sent to a temple by my family to spend the rest of my life. If they don't mind, I am willing to give all my love and care for the princesses for the rest of my life and provide them with a warm sky."

Yun Xi was a little surprised.

She didn't expect that Concubine Wen would not want to go home.

"His current wife died of illness half a year ago. Did you know that?" Yun Xi stared at Concubine Wen, not wanting to miss any expression on her face.

"If you still want, I can write an imperial decree to grant you marriage." Yun Xi felt very uncomfortable when she thought that Concubine Wen would have to live a life like a walking corpse in the palace in the future.

Concubine Wen saved the original owner and treated her very well. Even if it was just to repay her, Yun Xi also hoped that she would live a good life.

Her ex-fiance's wife died half a year ago. If the two of them still have feelings for each other, it would be a beautiful thing for them to be together.

"Haha, the Queen is joking." A trace of pain flashed in Concubine Wen's eyes. "He is a snob who only cares about money. I have already eliminated him."

"Moreover, I was framed in the palace before. If nothing unexpected happens, he was one of the culprits." Tears gradually welled up in Concubine Wen's eyes.

The man must have received some promise from someone and couldn't wait to send her away.

What a pity, the emperor intercepted it halfway.

Those who wanted to humiliate her did not succeed.

But the fiancé not only did not receive the punishment he deserved, but instead received compensation of five thousand taels of silver from her powerful father.

Afterwards, he used the five thousand taels of silver to buy himself a county magistrate position.

She was really blind at the time!

I actually fell in love with this kind of man.

Yun Xi patted her shoulder comfortingly: "Then don't get married! There are many good men. If you want to get married, you can get married. If you don't want to get married, you don't have to get married. I will take care of everything for you."

Concubine Wen was amused by her bold attitude: "Okay, then I will rely on you from now on."

"Yes, I'll protect you!" Yun Xi nodded vigorously.

"The two little princesses will be sent to you in the next few days. As for where you will live in the future, we can decide slowly, how about that?"

Concubine Wen nodded hurriedly, her eyes full of anxiety and slightly reddened: "Sister, I have no other intentions, I just sincerely feel that the princesses need someone who truly loves them. I have been in the palace for a long time, and I will definitely take good care of the princesses and give them a stable home."

Every time she saw the wounds on their bodies, she felt heartbroken, but unfortunately she was powerless because of her low status in the palace. The two women were promoted to imperial concubines because they took in the princesses.

Yun Xi was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sister, go back and clean up the place first. I will send the two little princesses there as soon as possible. Please be careful and don't let anyone know."

Concubine Wen knew that it was useless to be anxious, so she could only bow respectfully and leave.
