Chapter 169: Misfortune is not a one-way street
Some people say that blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lucky things don't always come in a row, but bad things always follow.
Shi Jiao'e had just returned to Chaoyang Palace, and before she had time to say a word to her sister, a little palace maid came to report - Lou Concubine Niangniang felt unwell, couldn't lift her spirits all day, and had some spleen and stomach disorders.
More than a month pregnant!
And voila, what a surprise!
Shi Jiao'e sat on the chair tiredly, pressed her temples with her thumb, and didn't speak for a long time. She didn't know if other housewives would be overjoyed when they learned that the concubine was pregnant, but she couldn't like it at all.
Even though she no longer has feelings for Han Xiu, she is still a little resistant to this child. What's more, the situation in the court is so tense now, if Lou Yuniang gives birth to a princess, the impact on the overall situation is not big, in case a boy is born, the position of the prince is a little more variable.
Now, Han Xiu has "woken up", and he has won the hearts of the people again, but I am afraid that it will be more difficult to deal with in the future, and it will be more difficult to establish a prince.
"Niangniang, Concubine Lou has an heir, this is a great joy, and she should be rewarded." Shi Jingyan looked at Shi Jiao'e with a smile, and persuaded in a soft tone.
She was afraid that her sister wouldn't be able to think about it, and if she didn't handle it properly, she would be truthful.
After all, it is the emperor's bloodline, no matter what Shi Jiao'e thinks in her heart, at least on the surface she must show joy. Moreover, in terms of Han Xiu's identity and age, his heirs are indeed not many.
"This is the case, this palace knows. From today onwards, a small kitchen will be opened in the side hall of the concubine, and all affairs will be arranged by the concubine herself. If you have the ingredients you want, you can also inform the Imperial Dining Room to prepare them. ”
Shi Jiao'e covered her face with exhaustion, her back straightened, and she said in a soothing tone: "In addition, immediately send someone to report the good news to the emperor." ”
Annunciation?
How ironic!
Except for Han Xiu, I'm afraid no one will be happy!
After the little palace maid retreated, Shi Jingyan didn't say anything, but Lan Yunwen spoke first: "Queen Mother, I don't know what is the situation of my grandfather and the Lan family now?" ”
Lan Yunwen's voice was a little hoarse, and he trembled involuntarily.
When the day dawned, her heart was even more worried-did the Lan family have something to kill? Did her grandfather survive?
Lan Yunwen asked as she couldn't help but calculate. Although she knew that the celestial phenomena had been covered, the habits she had developed over the years still couldn't help it......
"How so?!" Lan Yunwen suddenly got startled, with a flustered look on her face, and her eyes instantly turned red: "Niangniang, my grandfather ...... him"
She couldn't control the choking of her voice, and before she finished speaking, she couldn't stop crying.
Her grandfather is dead! Mr. Matilda is dead!
Lan Yunwen bit her lip tightly, only to feel a burst of tightness and shortness of breath in her chest, her throat burned, and her heart seemed to be cut in half.
"Except for Mr. Mingde, the rest of the Lan family is fine." Shi Jiao'e explained the facts, and then, half-furrowed her eyebrows, said, "Mr. Mingde's death was an accident. Bengong didn't expect that King Yue would dare to kill directly in front of Bengong......"
"Hmm......" Lan Yunwen covered her mouth, shook her head desperately, and couldn't cry.
She doesn't blame the queen, she is not an unreasonable person, the original hexagram showed that grandpa would have a big difficulty entering the palace, and his life was not guaranteed.
Now, something really happened to her grandfather, and she doesn't complain about anyone, only about the impermanence of fate.
"Queen Mother, concubine ......" Lan Yunwen took a deep breath and tried to force her tears back, "The concubine will retire first." ”
Without waiting for Shi Jiao'e to reply, she fled.
He's dead! He's dead!
She tried her best to save it, but she died in the end!
Although the Lan family is okay for the time being, how can her heart be calm? She was humiliated by Han Xiu all night, but in exchange for such an ending?!
……
After Lan Yunwen left, only Shi Jiao'e and her sister Shi Jingyan were left in Zhaoyang Palace.
"Sister......" Shi Jingyan blinked, revealing a naughty expression, "Father asked me to tell you, the time has not yet come, so don't be anxious." ”
Don't be anxious, everything will be fine.
Shi Jingyan thought that this was just her father's beautiful expectations. However, the more she experienced, the more she trusted her father's words.
The same is true for Shi Jiao'e.
"Did my father say when he would be back?" Shi Jiao'e rubbed her temples and asked a little tiredly.
She always felt that she was about to run out of it.
My mother had said that if you want to deal with an enemy, you must not leave him alive. You left him a way to live, and maybe one day, he will be forced to a dead end.
She now regrets why she didn't take advantage of Han Xiu's injury and directly poisoned him to death.
According to the current situation, if she continues to be so depressed, she is afraid that she will not be able to help but do it and take the risk to get rid of Han Xiu!
When the time comes, I am afraid that the imperial court will be even more turbulent!
Moreover, when the Northern Jin Dynasty army is coming, how should she respond?
"My father didn't say anything, but my eldest brother wrote from me the day before yesterday, saying that the situation in the southwest was worse than expected, the people's houses and fields were washed away, and there were too many things that needed to be rebuilt, and I couldn't get out for a while......
"Hmm." Shi Jiao'e snorted and fell silent again.
……
On the other side, Han Xiu had already made an early dynasty.
He originally didn't want to go back to the inner palace, for fear that Shi Jiao'e would poison him again. However, after receiving the news that Lou Yuniang was pregnant, he couldn't help but go back to the inner palace.
"Reward!" Han Xiu's face was full of joy.
As an older emperor, Han Xiu has only three sons so far. If he could have a few more sons, he would not be so passive and had no choice when he was the crown prince.
"Go and select a few medicinal materials that are big tonic and send them to Concubine Lou. In addition, arrange a few personal palace maids for her to take care of her food, clothing and daily life. Han Xiu spun around twice in place, and then suddenly commanded.
He didn't go to Zhaoyang Palace, nor did he go to see Lou Yuniang in person. At this moment, he even regretted that he had moved Lou Yuniang away from Zhengyang Hall because he was infatuated with Lan Yunwen.
If Lou Yuniang was still in Zhengyang Palace, it would be easier for him to protect the child in her womb. But now, Lou Yuniang lives under Shi Jiao'e's nose, just like stepping on the tip of a knife and dancing, it's too dangerous!
"No, I can't put this child in danger! Liu Quan, give the order to go down and drive to Yuhua Palace! Han Xiu Huo Ran got up.
――Dividing Line――
The back of the dividing line is changing, and it will take ten minutes.
Many times, tears, although pitiful, can also arouse a man's desire.
Some people smile like flowers, but they are highly poisonous.
