After learning that she was pregnant, Song Shuyan didn't have much joy.

"What can I do? How can I ······ at this juncture?" Song Shuyan frowned, unable to understand why she was pregnant at this time.

It's not that Song Shuyan doesn't want to conceive Shen Zeyuan's child, after all, it is best for the emperor to have an heir.

"This matter must not be known to other people, otherwise those who have bad intentions in the court will definitely take the opportunity to come out and make trouble. ”

Song Shuyan thought about it, and could only hide her pregnancy for the time being, thinking of this, she hurriedly called the imperial doctor who had examined her before.

"You have to hide the pregnancy in this palace, and no one can say anything, understand?" Song Shuyan finished instructing the imperial doctor, and as if he was not at ease, he called his personal maid over.

"You also heard what happened just now, presumably, you don't need to talk about it in this palace. Song Shuyan looked at the maid and hinted that the maid should also hide her pregnancy.

"Yes, yes, the slave understands, but the slave has something she wants to ask, why should she hide such a festive thing as pregnancy?"

The maid was full of doubts, and she couldn't understand in her heart, if Song Shuyan was pregnant with the emperor's heir, if Shen Zeyuan knew about it, she would definitely be extremely happy, but now the queen mother wanted to hide it.

However, since Song Shuyan had already spoken, as a maid, he naturally couldn't ask more.

Hearing the maid ask, Song Shuyan began to explain to her, it was nothing more than some words related to national affairs: "Now that the emperor is driving a personal expedition abroad, Shen Zecang is keeping an eye on the situation in the imperial court all the time······"

Song Shuyan said that at this point, the maid was not a stupid person, so she naturally knew what Song Shuyan wanted to express, so she nodded.

In addition to not letting others know that he was pregnant, even Shen Zeyuan couldn't tell him, so Song Shuyan asked the people in the palace to keep their mouths shut and not let the news of his pregnancy leak.

The empress presided over state affairs abroad and at home, and the emperor drove his own expedition abroad, and at the same time, the battlefield where Shen Zeyuan was stationed, the war had begun several rounds.

At this time, it is the time of a truce between the two countries, not a reconciliation, but a rest for the soldiers.

In Shen Zecang's barracks, a general who had just finished the battlefield was reporting the battle situation to Shen Zeyuan: "Your Majesty, my country is on the winning side in this battle. ”

Speaking of this, the general couldn't help but snort contemptuously, looked at Shen Zeyuan and said, "Even if Shen Zecang's villain stole the city defense map of the Great Li Dynasty, so what, Wu Guo still can't beat us." ”

Shen Zeyuan knew that this general had always been arrogant, and Wu Guo was like this, so the general naturally didn't pay too much attention to it, but after all, Shen Zecang had already collaborated with Wu Guo, so he couldn't underestimate Wu Guo now.

"The general's words are a bit careless, I know that you have always won a hundred battles, and you can say that you have been on the battlefield for a long time, but you can't have the heart to underestimate the enemy. ”

Shen Zeyuan looked at the military topographic map in front of him, and his fingers traced along the lines on the map, as if he was planning the next strategy in his heart.

Hearing Shen Zeyuan point out his contempt for the enemy, the general couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "The minister is guilty, the emperor is right, and it is indispensable to know the enemy." ”

"However, in these few battles, our country did win relatively easily, and if we continue in this form, it is just around the corner to subdue the cities we lost before. ”

Although Shen Zeyuan reminded the general not to underestimate the enemy, he could not deny the successive victories of his country.

At this time, the horn sounded on the battlefield again, representing the beginning of the war, and Shen Zeyuan was just about to order the general to continue the battle, when a soldier with a horn opened his tent and hurriedly ran in.

As soon as the general saw this formation, he knew that it was time for him to lead his troops to fight, and he didn't have time to say goodbye to Shen Zeyuan, so he rushed out of the tent with the soldiers without saying a word.

On the battlefield, the armies of the two countries clashed each other, and neither of them refused to lose to anyone, and the army of Wu on the opposite side had lost one after another in the previous battles, so it was obvious that the morale had been leaked by more than half.

The result of the war is naturally needless to say, Shen Zeyuan and Wu Guo's follow-up battles began to win many battles, and Wu's army was beaten and retreated, even if the morale was reorganized, the strength of the soldiers was gone.

Therefore, as the general said before, all the three cities that had been lost were won back.

Not only did Shen Zeyuan pay attention to the battle situation all the time, but Wu Qingge was also paying attention to the movements of his army, and the news of his country's defeat reached Wu Qingge's ears one after another.

"It's not okay to go on like this, what's the matter with Shen Zecang, didn't he say that the inside should be combined with the outside, isn't it that the city defense map he gave me is fake itself?"

Wu Qingge frowned and clenched the city defense map in his hand, and was about to get angry, when another soldier rushed in and shouted loudly: "Oh no, the three cities we won before were beaten back by Shen Zeyuan." ”

As soon as Wu Qingge heard this, he knew that in this war between the two countries, his country would definitely lose.

Wu Qingge was naturally unwilling, thinking of Shen Zecang, so he hurriedly sent someone to send a message to Shen Zecang:

"I hope you don't forget the transaction between the two of us, the war between the two countries Wu has been defeated repeatedly, I believe you are also in the eyes, so you go to poison Shen Zeyuan, as long as the emperor dies, the country will be in chaos. ”

Shen Zeyuan received a letter from Wu Qingge, although he felt that it was very immoral to poison his own brother, but in front of the throne, Shen Zecang would not care about Shen Zeyuan's feelings.

Therefore, for Wu Qingge's orders, Shen Zecang naturally obeyed his words, and immediately poisoned Shen Zeyuan's rice.

But he never expected that Shen Zeyuan was also very wary of his brother, and he was always paying attention to Shen Zecang's every move.

Therefore, Shen Zeyuan actually knew about the crimes of Shen Zecang and Wu Qingge, the eldest princess of Wu, for a long time, but he never debunked him, after all, Shen Zeyuan still needed to lure the snake out of the hole.

And now, Shen Zecang's snake has finally been dispatched.

So when Shen Zecang pretended to bring a lunch box to Shen Zeyuan, he directly took out the silver needle to test the poison, and looking at the blackened silver needle, Shen Zeyuan's face turned pale.

"Don't think that I am confused, I have never found out about your affair with Wu Qingge, but now that you want to poison your own brother for the throne, then I have no choice but to miss the old feelings. ”

Shen Zeyuan directly pointed out Shen Zecang's crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and then ordered someone to take Shen Zecang to prison.
