It didn't take long to untie the silver needles in his body, Xia Qian used these silver needles to seal his qi veins and control his actions, Liu Xianghan gave him the medicine because the silver needle barrier did not play an effective role, before taking it out, she used her true qi to give Qin Shaoyou a bit of qi veins, condensed the venom together, performed the technique of cutting the veins, and let the blood drip on the bowl, and the shocking blood was a little black.

Qin Shaoyou's brows were twisted together, and the bones in his right hand gurgled, if Liu Xianghan was in front of him, he might be unscrewed off his head.

Xia Qian put the blood on his face indifferently, and when he saw that it was almost there, he picked up the bowl and shook it a few times, and looked at it carefully, "The poison is almost done, it's time for Your Majesty to go back to the room to rest." ”

"I'll rest here tonight." Qin Shaoyou said unashamedly, pulling the quilt next to him and covering his body.

"Don't forget, even if the concubine takes out the silver needle, there is still a way to deal with His Majesty." After saying that, the flying needle thread made up for him, fixed him in place, then stood up, tidied up his clothes, glanced at him with contempt, and said, "Then Your Majesty should rest here." ”

Qin Shaoyou blinked his eyes that could still move, and looked up at the roof beam silently, and was placed by her.

In addition to Xia Qian and Qin Shaoyou, the poisoning did not spread in the palace, I don't know what his idea was, seeing that the New Year is approaching, she is also about to give birth, holding an eight-month-old belly, she feels very tired after walking for a long time, but in order to have a better smooth delivery, she is almost on time after meals every day.

Listening to Xiuhong said, Liu Xianghan was also pregnant, about three months, pinching her fingers, during that time, Qin Shaoyou did not come to her Weiyang Palace, and rarely went to Yonghe Palace, many rumors said that His Majesty began to favor the queen mother, and Concubine Xiang, who was favored for a while, was beaten into the cold palace. During the period of being "cared for" by Qin Shaoyou, Xia Qian's life was frightened, and his clothing, food, housing and transportation had to be carefully checked, every time he saw him appear in Weiyang Palace, he couldn't wait to throw him out, but because he was in Weiyang Palace, those concubines did not dare to make a noise about their small actions, and she had an ally behind her to help, the more noble concubines, swept away a lot of troubles that were obstructive.

Seeing that she is about to give birth, but there are a lot of things to do when the New Year is approaching, worshiping the heavens and worshipping the ancestors, the palace and the court are driving the honor guard, and all the officials are crowned with court clothes. Xia Qian named Concubine Yue and Concubine Xian to assist, and the other concubines also had their own task assignments, and Liu Xianghan was the only one who was left with no tasks.

Liu Xianghan was a little angry, but she didn't dare to attack in person, Ying Ying bowed, and said: "Queen Mother, several sisters have things to do, why don't my sisters have tasks to do?" Although my sister is not talented, it is okay to complete one or two small things. ”

"Sister Liu is pregnant, and I heard that I haven't had a good rest recently, so this palace naturally doesn't dare to arrange some heavy work for you, so as not to hurt the dragon species inside," Xia Qian said slowly.

Without waiting for Liu Xianghan to speak, several other concubines hurriedly stood up and said, "That's it, Sister Liu can rest in peace, just let a few sisters come to these rough jobs." ”

"But"

"There is nothing but, you are His Majesty's favorite concubine, how can you work your body, what do the sisters think?"

"An Zhaoyi is right." Concubine Xian, who was on the side, spoke.

"Okay then." Liu Xianghan lowered her eyes and nodded helplessly.

On the day of worshipping the ancestors, Xia Qian changed into a bright red Baifeng Chengxiang court dress, and the skirt was embroidered with a golden auspicious cloud pattern, wearing a golden cloud fei makeup satin woven colorful flower flying butterfly brocade robe, three thousand green silk pulled into a peony hairpin, and a golden phoenix was inserted on the left and right sides, echoing with the phoenix flying nine days Ruyi agate hollow crown between the forehead, and the luster was overwhelming.

The golden steps between the buns shook and sounded, and with each step, Xia Qian could hear the small and fragmented voices of the surrounding ministers, most of them lamenting that the queen was pregnant and came to worship the heavens and ancestors, and her filial piety was respectable.

"The queen beware." Qin Shaoyou helped her up the steps, for fear that she would accidentally step on the hem of her skirt and fall down and have an accident.

"Thank you." When he walked to the bronze tripod, Xia Qian withdrew his hand without a trace and stood aside.

"Your Majesty, please burn incense." Gao Gonggong brought a plate with a small stove on it, burning an incense candle, and some incense paper and incense next to it.

"Okay." Qin Shaoyou lit the incense paper in the corner of the clothes, threw it into the bronze tripod, and picked up three sticks of incense and was about to light it, when he suddenly smelled a smell of gunsmoke, and hurriedly took Xia Qian beside him into his arms, and shouted in shock: "There are explosives!" With that, he kicked away the bronze tripod weighing hundreds of pounds.

"Boom" a few times, in a few seconds, the sacrificial platform exploded, a thick puff of black smoke came out, forming a black mushroom cloud in mid-air, the ministers close to the stage were affected, there were many seriously injured more than a dozen people, lightly injured dozens of people, many ministers wanted to rush to the stage, anxiously shouted: "Your Majesty xià!" Suppressed in time by the forbidden army that arrived in time, Commander Chen, who led the leader, ordered: "Everyone, don't be impatient, there may still be explosives buried on the stage, please retreat, retreat!" ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem—" In the thick smoke, several vague figures were seen, among which Qin Shaoyou coughed a few times, waved the smell of gunpowder smoke around him with his sleeve robe, and saw that his arms were empty, and exclaimed: "Empress, Empress?!" ”

"Your Majesty is fine," Xia Qian stood not far in front of him, holding a few spirit runes that were about to burn out, turned around and smiled, and suddenly his body shook, and he was about to fall.

"Queen!" Qin Shaoyou's figure flashed, caught Xia Qian's body in time, carefully held her in his arms, tidied up her gray face and hair, and asked hurriedly, "Empress, what do you think?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that I'm almost running out of strength." Xia Qian no longer had the strength to stand firm, so he had to lie in his arms and smile bitterly.

"Eun, that's good."

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, ouch," Gao Gonggong heard Qin Shaoyou's voice, and hurriedly ran over, not paying attention to the potholed ground, and fell down with a thud, and it took a long time to ease his senses, "The slave is still alive, miracle, miracle." ”

The platform of worshipping the heavens and worshiping the ancestors was moved, the emperor and the queen were safe and sound, and miraculously survived, the courtiers were surprised by Cheng Dù, not a sentence or two can be described, I really saw Qin Shaoyou walking down from above with the queen in his arms, so I believed that it was true.

"This matter needs to be investigated." Qin Shaoyou instructed Commander Chen.

"Yes."

On that day, the guards of the palace were strengthened a lot, and the number of patrols increased several times, searching for suspicious people everywhere, and those who had been suspicious in and out of the harem were all pressed into their cells and listened to the holy decree. For a while, the palace was panicked, Xiuhong came over with a bowl of chicken soup, and sighed: "Niangniang, today's incident is really terrifying, who is so bold as to dare to put explosives there?" Fortunately, God blesses, His Majesty and Niangniang are safe and sound, and the mother and child are safe. ”

"Mother and son are safe, this palace has not yet been born, you know?" Xia Qian quipped.

"The slave has a hunch, the queen must be a prince." Xiuhong said excitedly, the topic was suddenly taken away by Xia Qian, and the two chatted for a while, with questions about the prince and princess, and how to teach him to grow up.

The matter of explosives involved too many courtiers who were derelict in their responsibilities and mismanaged, and the mastermind was not found for a long time, for a week, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but be furious in the early dynasty, and he went down to the court with a stomach full of anger, and saw Gao Gonggong running towards him in a hurry, and said while running: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the queen mother is born, she is born!" ”

"What! Go to Weiyang Palace! Qin Shaoyou didn't have time to think about it, and strode towards Weiyang Palace.

"How long?" As soon as he went to Weiyang Palace, Qin Shaoyou grabbed a palace maid and asked.

"It's been two hours." Before the palace maid could shout to see His Majesty, Xiuhong's voice came from inside, "Xiaoyue, what about you, come back quickly." ”

"Let's go." Qin Shaoyou waved his sleeves and motioned for her to hurry up and help.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother is in good health, she will be fine." Father-in-law Gao saw Qin Shaoyou walking around anxiously on the side, walking around, going around several times, and reminded.

"I know," he paused, sighing, "but I can't let go." ”

"Niangniang, Niangniang, work hard—" The midwife saw most of the baby's body, called happily, and kept cheering for Xia Qian, and the other palace maids also cheered happily when they saw this.

The pain of giving birth to a child, Xia Qian couldn't feel it, because her soul floated out after the labor pains began, watching the people below work hard to give birth, crying and shouting, how much made her empathize with her as a soul, and said faintly: "It's not easy to be a mother." ”

Half an hour later, the child Shun Lì was born and was a prince. Xia Qian also returned to her body, and suddenly came back, the postpartum pain was still there, and she couldn't help but gasp.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, it's a prince, look at it." The midwife held the prince and handed it over to Xia Qian to take a look.

"Hongu knows." Xia Qian said weakly, wanting to raise his hand but not having any strength at all, the midwife was a smart person, and she held the prince and sent it to her.

"It's true" The second half of the sentence, Xia Qian swallowed, and at this moment Qin Shaoyou walked in, came to Xia Qian, took her little hand and said, "Hard work, queen." ”

"Thank you." Xia Qian showed a weak smile, suddenly looked at him with a surprised look, and then smiled with relief, "Your Majesty, in the future, this child will please." ”
