For the acting king, the Chen family has never counted on it, and what they mean now is to let Dong Ruyi support the four princes.

Earlier, the Chen family valued the forces behind Dong Ruyi, and they didn't have much hope for Dong Ruyi himself. So he never put pressure on Concubine Chen, after all, Concubine Chen has not yet given birth to a son and a half daughter, and although Dong Ruyi is favored, being favored and interfering in politics are two different things.

Under Concubine De's repeated temptations, although she guessed what Dong Ruyi was doing for the emperor, she didn't think that she had already intervened in the affairs of the court and played a vital role in the crown prince.

No one thought about it in that direction, and it wasn't until Dong Ruyi participated in the Ministry of Industry that the courtiers understood that the emperor intended to cultivate King Zhou. For the king of Zhou, the courtiers had a lot of complaints.

Some people talk about her identity as a woman, and some say that Dong Ruyi's ability to do so today is due to her ability.

The rise of the Zhou Palace, which made the Chen family even more impatient, and they began to put pressure on Concubine Chen. In their eyes, no matter how capable Dong Ruyi is, he will also need the help of brothers and sisters in the future. And the son of the fourth prince and Concubine Chen's belly will be her biggest help in the future.

Therefore, the Chen family came no less than five times before the New Year in the name that Concubine Chen was pregnant.

Concubine Chen's original heart was on this fetus, saying that it was false not to worry, she was afraid that she would not give birth to a son. She was unable to sleep and eat, but under the pressure of the Chen family, people became even more irritable.

If a woman in the world does not rely on her mother's family, if she is not valued by her mother's family, then her life in her husband's family is also sad. Concubine Chen didn't dare to offend her mother's family, so she could only use the excuse that she couldn't see Dong Ruyi. As for the words of the acting king, she spoke directly to the words of the acting king.

The Chen family began to think of various ways to see Dong Ruyi for Concubine Chen, but there was no way for them to see people in the palace.

When the letter of miss arrives at the Zhou Palace, it is like a stone sinking into the sea, and when you enter the palace to visit them, you can only take the path of Concubine De.

Now that the four princes have been detained, Concubine De does not dare to be too public. As for Dong Ruyi's side, who can see it without the emperor's order?

finally waited for the Chinese New Year, but Dong Ruyi kept the New Year with the emperor on the 30th night, and she only stayed for one meal when she returned to the palace on the first day of the new year.

Concubine Chen couldn't find a chance to speak at all, not to mention that the acting king didn't approve of her involvement in the prince's dispute, but she agreed, King Zhou finally went home once, and he couldn't stop eating a meal!

Concubine Chen couldn't say her suffering, she didn't dare to offend her mother's family, let alone offend the acting king and Dong Ruyi. But the emperor's attitude towards the four princes made Concubine De and the Chen family even more anxious. The Chinese New Year's Eve of the fourth prince and the fifth prince is still spent in the Buddhist hall.

The Chen family was eager to know the emperor's meaning and the situation of the four princes, and Mrs. Chen came over in person on the fifth day of the first month, and they were annoyed that Concubine Chen's side concubine was not giving her strength, and they were annoyed that the king sat idly by.

Concubine Chen tried to say that she wanted to enter the palace, and such a thing naturally could not be passed over the acting king. But the acting king thought that she had a lot of things, so he let her raise the fetus in the mansion with peace of mind, and said don't think that Concubine De can protect you, Mrs. Dong almost had a difficult birth in the palace.

Although these words were unpleasant, Concubine Chen still listened to them, and she was also afraid that someone would assassinate her flesh and blood in the house because of Dong Ruyi's rise. After all, the Acting Wangfu and the Zhou Wangfu are in the same breath, no matter what you do, as long as you have no successor, you don't have to worry.

Dong Ruyi's return to the house today gave Concubine Chen a glimmer of hope, and she also hoped that her nephew could be the emperor. She was afraid of missing this opportunity, so she thought of kneeling and begging in a hurry. She wanted to say it once and for all, so that no matter what the future holds, she would do her best. ”

Concubine Chen cried and said, "Little prince, this time you have to help a group of four princes no matter what, and the concubine only has such a nephew!"

Dong Ruyi handed out the handkerchief: "Please also ask the side concubine to relax, the emperor has no intention of disposing of the four princes." The reason why the four princes and the fifth princes were allowed to go to the Buddha Hall was also to protect them. ”

Concubine Chen muttered: "Protect ......" Her face turned pale, and she said tremblingly: "The emperor has decided to let the crown prince succeed to the throne?"

Dong Ruyi said: "Maybe, but who can know the thoughts of the emperor's uncle? No matter what happens in the palace, as long as the concubine understands that the palace will not participate in the establishment of the prince, as for now...... The side concubine should put the flesh and bone in the womb first, and the fetus should be relieved. ”

Concubine Chen slipped from the chair to the ground, "Little prince, you can help the four princes! The concubine knows that you are capable, and the concubine guarantees that the fourth prince will be a person, if he does ......"

"Don't keep your mouth shut, Your Majesty is alive, the prince is alive, there are some things that the concubine wants to think about but can't say. Dong Ruyi directly interrupted Concubine Chen's words.

Concubine Chen sat slumped on the ground, "Concubine knows it's wrong." ”

Dong Ruyi got up and helped Concubine Chen up, "It's cold on the ground, Concubine Side should get up first!"

Concubine Chen cried whining, "Little prince, will you help the concubine this time? Just once, whether the concubine is successful or not, at least she can explain to her mother's side." ”

Dong Ruyi sighed heavily, "The affairs of the four princes, Ruyi just wants to take care of it now, and there is no time left." Today, Ruyi returned home to say goodbye to his father. ”

Concubine Chen looked at Dong Ruyi in shock, "Resign, what do you mean?"

Dong Ruyi said: "Ruyi will leave Beijing the day after tomorrow, and I will talk about it when my father comes back." "Some things do have to be explained, but she doesn't have to say the same thing twice.

Dong Ruyi said: "Ruyi will go to put incense on the concubine first, and then come over to accompany the concubine." "As for whether Concubine Chen still has to kneel, it has nothing to do with her.

Concubine Chen is still shocked that Dong Ruyi left Beijing, you must know that the emperor's favor is never permanent, and now if you don't take advantage of the emperor's liking to ask for more benefits, when the emperor's liking is over, it will be a fall from grace.

She just wanted to ask Dong Ruyi's return date, but she found that there was still Dong Ruyi's shadow in the hall.

Tian Ying walked in from outside, and when she saw Concubine Chen kneeling on the ground, she exclaimed, "Concubine Fang, how are you?"

Concubine Chen stood up on her own.

Seeing that Concubine Chen was fine, Tian Ying realized what had happened, and she asked in a low voice, "Little Lord agreed?"

Concubine Chen's voice was hoarse, "She refused to help." ”

Sweet Sakura said anxiously: "How is this good, the master and Concubine De are over there......"

Concubine Chen's tears flowed involuntarily, "Sweet Sakura, I'm bitter in my heart." She said and cried in her arms.

Sweet Sakura's eyes were red, "The slave understands, the slave understands." ”

Concubine Chen cried, and the acting king was also found.

The acting king walked in, "What is the matter with Ruyi looking for this king?"

He saw that Concubine Chen's eyes were red, and he said unhappily: "Is the Chen family coming again?" Every time the Chen family came, Concubine Chen would secretly tear up.

Concubine Chen hurriedly said: "No, it's the little prince who wants to leave Beijing, and the concubine is worried." ”

The acting king was shocked: "Ruyi is leaving Beijing, where is she going, and when will she come back?"
