Here, before the prince returned to the prince's mansion, someone came to report to the princess.

It was the palace maid who the crown princess arranged yesterday to pay attention to the prince's actions.

When the crown princess listened to the palace maid's report, she smiled coldly and said, "Okay, I know, you go down first." ”

As soon as the palace maid retreated, the crown prince Xiao Di came in, and the crown princess Zhang Chenhui immediately got up to greet her, and said with concern: "It's all dark, and the concubine hasn't seen you come back yet, thinking that you should go to Your Majesty or the queen's mother." ”

Xiao Di shook his head and said, "No, I chatted with a few old ministers outside the palace for a while." ”

Zhang Chenhui smiled slightly again and asked, "Have you had dinner?"

"I've eaten some, but I'm not full yet, and I want to come back and eat a little more with you. ”

Zhang Chenhui smiled without saying a word, turned around and ordered someone to go to the hot meal.

The dishes were all to the prince's liking, but the prince didn't seem to have much appetite tonight, so he ate very slowly and looked thoughtful.

Zhang Chenhui didn't speak, ate slowly, and glanced at him from time to time.

After finishing the meal, Zhang Chenhui suddenly asked, "That one should be going to give birth soon, right?"

Xiao Dikai looked up at her suddenly, saw her concern, and said with a little embarrassment: "It's probably just a few days." ”

"Aren't you going to see her?" she asked, her eyes as calm as water.

Xiao Dikai's face changed slightly, and he replied: "I asked the queen mother about her situation at noon, and I learned that everything was fine with her, so I didn't go to see it. ”

He glanced at her quickly again, and said, "I just came out, it's not good to walk around, so as not to be dissatisfied with my father's side, even if I want to see her, I still have to wait for the child to be born." ”

Zhang Chenhui suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.

Xiao Dikai was horrified when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped: "What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Chenhui hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just think your cautious expression is a little funny." Honestly, do you really care that much about what your concubines think?"

"Of course I have to take into account your opinion, otherwise the two of them don't care about each other, how will they live this day?"

"Then tell the concubine honestly, do you feel happy after marrying the concubine?" she asked, returning to her innocent appearance.

Xiao Di glanced at her and said with a smile: "Of course, you are the person I fell in love with at a glance five years ago. After all these years, my mind hasn't changed at all. ”

Zhang Chenhui patted him on the shoulder expressionlessly and walked out.

Two days later, in the evening, Gong Xingji gave birth to a son Ping'an, and a palace maid who was waiting next to her immediately took a carriage back to the palace to inform the queen Liu.

Liu's eyelids have been jumping since this afternoon, sometimes the upper eyelids, sometimes the lower eyelids, which made her heart go up and down, and after learning the news, she was inexplicably excited, and hurriedly sent someone to inform the emperor and the crown prince.

Then, she dressed up and went to meet the emperor.

When this news reached the ears of the prince, the prince was very happy, and he immediately changed his clothes and went to the Liuli Palace to visit the mother and son of the palace Xingji.

When he left, he didn't tell Zhang Chenhui the reason, only that he was going to see his father and mother, but Zhang Chenhui could obviously guess it.

When the emperor learned about this, he was also in a very happy mood, and he smiled and drank two cups of hot tea in a row.

He was about to send someone to invite the crown prince when the queen Liu came.

Liu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's a boy." ”

Xiao Hong smiled and nodded, "Well, it's good." ”

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Liu took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, the concubine has a request, I don't know if Your Majesty can agree." ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"The concubine wants to ask His Majesty to give this child a title and give him the opportunity to receive an education in the palace. ”

Xiao Hong's smile disappeared immediately, and he said solemnly: "Do you think that placing him in the palace is for his good? ”

Liu Shi hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, how do you say this?"

The emperor's eyes flashed with prudence, and he lowered his voice and said, "Don't you see that the crown princess has been smiling forcibly since she came out?

Liu Shi felt that it was not unreasonable when he heard it, but he felt that the emperor was thinking a little seriously, so he said: "With His Majesty and his concubines covered, she shouldn't dare to mess around, right?"

Xiao Hong waved his hand and said: "The power of jealousy between women is much more learned, so it's better to miss one thing." He added, "This child will be raised by Gong Xingji and his wife for the time being, and when he is six or seven years old, we will arrange a few more teachers for him to teach, and if he is a talented person, it will not be too late for us to recognize him when he is fifteen or sixteen years old." ”

"It's just," Liu frowned, "it's just hard for him." ”

"What's so embarrassing? What's more, the hero doesn't ask where he comes from, if he is a talent, he will naturally shine in the future, who can hold it down at that time?"

Liu didn't say anything more, and nodded in agreement.

The news soon reached Zhang Chenhui, who was playing with a bird in the cage, and immediately stood up upright, pestle there for a long time, and then smiled: "Well, I know." ”

After the palace maid left, Zhang Chenhui immediately called a personal palace maid and whispered a few words.

The palace maid's face showed a little panic.

Zhang Chenhui added a few more words, and the palace maid's expression eased a lot, and she immediately took the order to do something.

The next day, before dawn, the news of 'Gong Xing Ji died of bleeding at night' reached the Liu family, instantly breaking the pre-dawn silence of Cining Palace.

Liu Shi was surprised and said, "Obviously, she was fine after the child was born, why did she bleed more than at night?

The palace maid who came to report replied in a panic: "At night, according to your instructions, two palace maids were arranged to take care of the palace sister's bed, at first everything was as usual, but in the middle of the night, they felt dizzy for some reason, so they lay down on the table and took a nap. When they woke up, it was about two quarters of an hour later, and they didn't feel anything unusual in the house, until it was close to dawn, when they suddenly found a small pool of blood under the bed, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to see that Sister Gong was no longer breathing. ”

Liu Shi trembled when he heard this, and immediately interrogated the two palace maids who were on duty at night: "Are you closing the door or leaving the door open during the night shift?"

One of the maids replied, "Yes." ”

"Have you ever heard the door being pushed at night?"

"Nope. ”

"Are you feeling dizzy and sleepy at the same time?"

"The slave maid was a little first, and she was sleepy after about half an hour. ”

"Have you ever been sleepy during your night shifts in the past?"

"Occasionally. ”

Liu immediately had them imprisoned and awaited treatment, and then hurried to see the emperor.

At this time, the emperor was about to go to the early court, and when he saw the Liu family hurrying over with a white face, he hurriedly asked the others to retreat, frowning and asking the Liu family: "What happened?"
