The chief chamberlain couldn't help frowning when she heard this, why did she come?

Mo said that it was already the middle of the night, even if it was daytime, without the emperor's summons, she was not familiar with it in the palace, and she came here with a huge belly...... It's really not like Concubine Tong's Suri style.

As for staying in bed...... The chief attendant shook his head in his heart, if it was in the past, today, His Majesty will never sleep.

Just as he was hesitating whether to stop at the door and wait or to go to the side hall to rest first, he heard the creaking sound of the wooden door being pushed open, and the chief attendant immediately bowed, and his hands hung down in front of his abdomen.

Concubine Tong's belly is getting bigger and bigger, like this, don't say it's a twin, even if it's a triplet, I'm afraid it's possible.

After a flicker of thought, the chief attendant saluted respectfully, "Concubine Tong Niangniang is leaving?"

Concubine Tong glanced at the chief waiter, and whispered a "um", which was counted as an answer, and as soon as she stepped out of the threshold, her maid flashed out from the side, hurriedly walked up, and held it steadily, while saying, "Niangniang, be careful of your step." He helped her down the steps.

Looking at Concubine Tong's bulky body, and thinking of Concubine Hui's friendship with Concubine Tong's mother, the chief attendant turned his heart and took a step forward, "It's hard to walk in the dark, Niangniang came, but she sat in a soft sedan chair?"

Concubine Tong didn't expect the chief attendant to catch up, she was stunned for a moment, looked back at him with some surprise, and shook her head, "It's not too far to walk over." ”

Glancing at the shadow under the ancient tree in the distance, the chamberlain said: "The slave still let the mother send her back, this black light is blind, no better than the palace, the mother is pregnant, it is better to be careful." ”

Concubine Tong's surprised look couldn't help but float on her face, she took a deep look at the chief waiter, the sorrow in her eyes flashed away, and she smiled: "There is Gonggong Lao." ”

The chief attendant made a thousand moves, "Niangniang is serious, and it is a matter of slaves to take care of Niangniang for His Majesty." ”

As he spoke, the chief chamberlain straightened up and said to a small chamberlain behind him: "Bring a bright lantern and give the mother a careful way!"

The little waiter got the order and nodded at the promise.

Seeing Concubine Tong leave, the chief chamberlain turned around and turned back, took off his coat, warmed his body, opened the curtain and entered the inner room, and only entered the threshold with one foot, and the emperor, who was reclining on the bed, asked him, "What are you talking about outside?" ”

The chief attendant said: "The servant saw that Concubine Tong didn't use a soft sedan chair when she came over, it was difficult to walk on the dark road this day, and she was afraid that there would be something wrong on her way, so she ordered someone to send it off." ”

To put it mildly, in a word.

The emperor nodded when he heard this, but he didn't answer, only sighed faintly, and after sighing, he took a cup of milk handed by the chief attendant, raised his head and drank half a cup, and said: "Concubine Tong came at this time to tell me something about the old year, and I listened to her words, I'm afraid that I won't be sleepy all night." ”

The words fell, and he sighed deeply.

The chief chamberlain immediately looked anxious and worried, and said, "What is so serious? Let Your Majesty worry so much!"

The emperor sat up straight, handed the remaining half of the milk in his hand to the chief attendant, let out a long breath, and said, "Concubine Mei, she mentioned Concubine Mei with me, and also mentioned ......."

As he spoke, the emperor cast a sympathetic glance at the chief of the chamberlain and said, "I also mentioned your son." ”

The head of the chamberlain was shocked, raised his eyes, looked at the emperor in astonishment, the emotions in his eyes poured out in an instant, and his mouth trembled, "Old slave...... The son of the old slave ......"

Because of the real surprise, his heart was really unbearable for the emperor to suddenly mention the topic, the chief chamberlain couldn't help but soften under his feet, and staggered a step back, but he had been in the palace for many years, good at sophistication, good at covering up emotions, and in an instant, he took his emotions to a decent and appropriate level, and said: "Good and decent, how to mention the son of the old slave, how many years have passed." ”

As he spoke, he helped the table behind him to stand firmly, without revealing a trace, took a deep breath, tried his best to stabilize his mind, and secretly warned himself that the companion is like a tiger, and no matter what he hears for a while, he can't mess up the proportions.

Before his thoughts came to his heart, he heard the emperor say, "Your son...... Your son died not in an accident, but at the hands of the queen, who overheard the queen's secret and was killed by the queen. ”

No matter how sophisticated the chief chamberlain is, when he hears the emperor's words that go straight to the point, he can't hide the sadness, resentment, hatred, and shock in his eyes...... All kinds of emotions.

While his face turned pale for a moment, the emperor said faintly: "Although I don't know why your son appeared on the rockery in front of the queen's bedroom, according to Concubine Tong, she was also at the rockery that day, but where she was hiding, even more inside, the queen's people only found your son, not her." ”

"In front of the rockery that day, the queen mentioned that it was the assassin that she had conspired with the British princess back then, and it was the British princess who sent people to ask the queen for silver, saying that if he hadn't arranged it that day, how could the queen be today...... Concubine Tong saw with her own eyes that it was Cuiwei in front of the queen who killed your son with a stone on the rockery......"

As the emperor slowly told the things of the year, the chief chamberlain only felt that the world was spinning, top-heavy, and the scene when he found his son's body that day appeared in front of his eyes, and the fist-sized blood hole on his son's forehead was like a bottomless black hole, sucking his heart into it and falling infinitely.

The body trembled, no matter how much he gasped, trying to stabilize his emotions, but it was in vain, the emperor looked at his chapped mouth and couldn't help shaking, he couldn't bear it, and said: "I know that you feel uncomfortable and want to cry, just cry, in front of me, you don't have to hold on." ”

The emperor's words were like the last straw in the heart of the chief chamberlain, and he could no longer be overwhelmed, and the chief chamberlain's feet were weak, and his whole body fell to the ground with a bang, leaning on the table legs behind him, and sat there paralyzed.

Grief-stricken, his heart was like a thousand arrows piercing, and he was obviously breathing with his mouth open, but he couldn't lift it in one breath.

The emperor looked at the chief attendant quietly, and did not speak, but the words of Concubine Tong were floating in his heart.

Concubine Tong said that the reason why she passed by the rockery that day and accidentally bumped into the queen's secret was because she happened to be invited by Concubine Li that day to see the princess of the full moon in the palace of Concubine Li, and turned back.

If you want to leave, it's too late, and in a hurry, you hide in the rockery.

Over the years, this secret has been hidden in her heart, because of the power of the British government and the queen's obscenity, she didn't dare to publicize it, even if she was as close as Concubine Hui, she never revealed anything.

If it weren't for the revelation of today's British public affairs, I don't know how long this secret would linger in her heart.

Other than that...... There is also the matter of Concubine Mei......

Thinking of Concubine Mei, the emperor only felt a cold sweat in distress.
