Qingning Palace, everyone strictly guarded, Empress Dowager Chen personally sat in the delivery room, and Situ Yun paced back and forth in the outhouse.

"Man! Male! It has to be a man! Situ Yun was anxious, as long as he gave birth to a boy, he would have no need to worry about anything else. The Emperor Taishang will not depose him lightly.

Wei Qian didn't want to come over, but because she was with Empress Dowager Chen, Empress Dowager Chen pulled her over to take care of her. So Wei Qian hugged the white cloud mink, stroked the mink fur, and whispered to Situ Yun: "The queen mother takes care of the queen mother, what is there to worry about?" It's better to sit down and have a cup of tea. ”

Wei Qian's Qi cultivation kung fu is first-class, and he still has the heart to speak to the eunuch sent by the Taiji Pavilion next to him: "I saw that the Emperor Taishang was unwell in the morning, but now he is better?" ”

"Concubine Ning's words, the emperor took medicine in the afternoon, slept for two hours, and sweated." The eunuch spoke cautiously, and when he saw that Situ Yun was in a hurry, he subconsciously shrank back.

Situ Yun was full of anger, who dared to approach the people around him?

"That's it, you go back and talk back to the Emperor Taishang first, and say that the mother is not born yet. He is not in good health, so he will rest first. When the matter is decided, this palace will personally go to congratulate him. ”

Wei Qian is slow and reasonable, she has not interfered in the affairs of the harem for more than half a year, and has always maintained a transcendent status. Situ Yun rests in her palace for two days every month, and the two maintain a respectful attitude. Neither pampered nor alienated.

But because Empress Dowager Chen took Wei Qian with her all day long, Wei Qian was not bullied in the harem, and she had a good life.

"Yes." The eunuch glanced at Situ Yun, saw that Situ Yun didn't speak, and trotted away.

"Humph! You're not in a hurry! ”

"What's the hurry? It's useless for you and me to be in a hurry, right? Isn't it thirsty to wander around for a long time? Wei Qian poured tea for Situ Yun, Situ Yun's mouth was dry, and he sat down and drank it all in one gulp.

Knocking on the table and stomping your feet, in short, you can't stop for a moment.

"His Majesty's appearance like this frightened many palace people." Wei Qian sneered: "Wait slowly, this time there are eight stable women and all the imperial doctors waiting, how can something happen?" ”

There are eight stable women in the delivery room, plus Empress Dowager Chen and personal palace maids. supervised with his own eyes, and he would not let the queen have an accident at all. The origin of those stable women was clearly investigated, and they were explained in advance. If something happens to the queen, the three clans will be punished.

Moreover, there is a group of imperial doctors in the side hall who boil medicine, and there will be no problems.

There are still people outside the palace who lead soldiers to guard, how many heartstrings will be touched by the queen's birth this time?

gave birth to a son and established it as the East Palace, and the imperial line was inherited. Even if Situ Yun has three longs and two shorts, the inheritance of those brothers is not as close as this son.

In the previous life, Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty, didn't he inherit the throne from the emperor's grandfather?

When the time comes, the emperor will come out and continue to control the government, which can be said to have ruined the hope of the kings for a lifetime. If you want to produce a character like Ming Chengzu, just rely on these princes?

According to Wei Qian's opinion, the only way out for these princes is to do it together with the Emperor Taishang tonight, and then support the newborn crown prince to ascend the throne, and finally have a regent to assist.

In a few years, the prince will die, and the regent will be able to ascend the throne in name only.

But only if it's a boy.

"Do you want to fight at this time?" The third prince pondered at home, hesitating. If it's a daughter, wouldn't it be too much?

"If it's a man, although there is a threat, it shouldn't have to be a mutiny? The future is long, and it may be more convenient to want a child to die early? ”

Mutiny, no matter what, the future of disobedience and infamy is a certainty. The third prince cherishes feathers and refuses to follow Tang Taizong to come to this palace change.

"The palace must have been prepared for this, Danfeng Gate is close to the inner city, and it is strictly guarded. The east gate and the west gate have favorable geographical advantages, and the only way is the northern Xuanwu gate. Bypassing Penglai Lake and going straight to Taiji Pavilion and Qingning Palace, you should be able to catch them all? ”

Xuanwu Gate? Thinking of this name, the third prince smiled bitterly, and the lessons of the past were in front of him. So far, that Heavenly Khan has not been able to wash away this unjust sin.

"It's hard!" Because it is difficult to choose, and it is not always possible to succeed, such a risky thing cannot be decided immediately.

The four princes knocked on the wooden fish at home to meditate, and during this period of self-cultivation, they actually had a little bit of the meaning of seeing through the red dust. Although the idea of plotting the dragon chair is still there, he knows more about the word forbearance.

"If you strike first, you will lose, it's better to wait for my brothers to start, and then turn around and set things right, and you can justifiably ascend the throne."

The third prince and the fourth prince were calculating in their hearts, but the fifth prince was a little helpless.

"This king's troops are all in Jiangnan, and there is really no one here. The Admiral of the Nine Gates was his father's man, and he gave the order to close it in the morning. The camp on the outskirts of the city and the forbidden army are Situ Yun's people, and with the power of this king, they can only attract 2,000 people, which is not enough to rush the palace gate. "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, although the fifth prince knows that today is a godsend, but he can only watch the opportunity missed.

The three princes who hold real power are still like this, not to mention the nine princes below, and a mere county king is nothing.

"If, if there is this prince who coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes, can I have a curtain?" Wei Qian played with the tea cup, and her mind didn't know where to go.

"No, don't talk about a small charge, it's difficult for your biological mother to play with the court. If those princes really launched a palace rebellion, where would I have the confidence to support the prince to ascend to the throne after both defeats? He has no military power, and there is no help from the court. Even the queen can't do it. ”

"Concubine Ning? Concubine Ning? Situ Yun shouted several times before Wei Qian woke up: "What? 陛xià was just talking? ”

"You still say I'm anxious, aren't you also wandering?" Situ Yun said angrily: "Just now, the imperial doctor said that music can calm the mind, and maybe it can appease the queen and let her give birth smoothly." ”

"So what? Majesty Xià let the concubine play the piano? "Don't fall asleep when the queen is asleep, and go straight to childbirth.

"Just you and me to pass the time." Situ Yun ordered someone to go to the Treasure Hall to get a piano.

The instrument is made of a sycamore, has seven strings, and the tail part of the instrument has a scorched trace.

When Wei Qian saw this qin, her face was overjoyed, she tried the rhythm and began to stroke the qin.

The melodious sound of the piano sounded from the outer hall, and the Empress Dowager Chen's ears moved inside, and she said strangely: "This is Concubine Ning's piano?" Why did you suddenly start playing the piano? ”

Wei Qian has a lot of experience in the way of piano music, otherwise her natal magic weapon would not be a nine-string piano.

The sound of the piano flowed like spring water, Situ Yun's face softened, and he closed his eyes and listened to the piano intently.

Using the lyre to appease, the queen who was struggling with dystocia was relieved, and she continued to work hard under the comfort of the stable women.

"It's out! The head is out! The women were overjoyed and hurriedly encouraged the queen to continue her efforts.

The white marten wags its tail on the table and moves to the beat. Suddenly, when a palace maid came in with a basin of water, the white cloud marten moved slightly.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and an alarm rose in Wei Qian's heart: "Wait! Wei Qian called the palace maid who was about to deliver hot water. Bai Yun's sable squeaked a few times, and Wei Qian squinted: "Hongchun, you go and check this basin of water." ”

Then he called the palace maid to his side: "You boiled this water?" ”

"No...... It's not ......" The palace maid saw Wei Qian's expression and panicked: "It was brought by the slave maid from the water room." It was the people in the queen's palace who burned it. "This palace maid is the person next to the Empress Dowager Chen, and she went to get the basin in the name of the Empress Dowager.

"Who did you meet on the road, and who has touched this basin of water?"

When the palace maid heard this, she was immediately paralyzed to the ground in fright. "Slave...... Slaves...... I don't know. ”

Situ Yun didn't know what was going on, so he stepped forward and slapped him: "Slut, say!" What's going on! ”

Wei Qian frowned and didn't say anything. instructed Xiangling: "If you go to prepare water again, the people in the queen's palace won't be able to believe it." You and Xiao Xiangzi go to boil water yourself. ”

Xiao Xiangzi is Situ Yun's personal eunuch.

Wei Qian spoke, Xiao Xiangzi was still a little hesitant, and looked at Situ Yun: "What are you still doing in a daze!" Don't do it yet! ”

Xiao Xiangzi and Xiangling hurriedly went to boil water.

Wei Qian looked at the backs of the two: "The queen has been ruling the palace for more than two years, but I didn't expect that there would be other people's internal responses in the palace." Glancing at the palace maid on the ground again, Wei Qian said: "The queen mother's person is naturally dealt with by the mother." But I think I've been deceived. His Majesty asked people to detain the people in the water room, and turned around to investigate slowly. ”

"Someone! Go and arrest the people in the water room and go to the court, and turn around and interrogate me one by one. If anyone colludes with outsiders, I will destroy their nine tribes."

Wei Qian frowned, disgusted with Situ Yun's tyranny, but did not refute, but said: "The concubine here Qiyun and the others can't believe it, only Xiangling and Hongchun." What about 陛xià? Let the people around you supervise, every basin of water, every piece of cloth must be examined by the imperial doctor before it can be sent in. ”

When Situ Yun heard this, he suddenly felt sad in his heart. In the huge palace, how many people can really be trusted?

In a fit of rage, he overturned the table and ordered his henchmen to supervise it.

The two of them personally guarded it, and then there was no mistake. After several times of delivering water and medicine, a cry finally came from inside.

Wei Qian and Situ Yun were relieved, and in the dark, Wei Qian could feel that the dragon qi on Situ Yun's body was more condensed.

"Congratulations, it's a prince." Inside, Wen Po came out with a baby boy in her arms, Situ Yun looked up to the sky and smiled, and the laughter echoed in Qingning Palace.

"Concubine Ning, look at it, this is my crown prince!" Situ Yun hugged the crying prince to Wei Qian's side.

Just born wrinkled, Wei Qian didn't bother to look at him, staring intently at the baby's head.

"Purple qi is circling, it is really unspeakably expensive."

"!" Hongchun came in from outside and exclaimed, "Niangniang, there was a red light coming out of the house just now, is there something wrong with Niangniang and Majesty?" ”

"Red light?" Wei Qian and Situ Yun were surprised, and invited people outside to ask. When the prince was just born, everyone outside saw the red light coming from the roof.

"This is the reincarnation of a true dragon. Majesty, is what the concubine said right? There is a Luan Feng leading the way, and there is a real dragon coming into the world, this Lin'er inherited the destiny of heaven, which is a good omen for Situ Jiangshan. God recognizes His Majesty as the orthodoxy of the Son of Heaven. ”

Situ Yun was very surprised, this matter was operated properly, and he didn't have to worry about his dragon position. "Come on, summon down, I want to canonize the prince!"

The people were astonished, and the housekeepers came in to receive the commandment. This is also reasonable, after all, he is the son of the queen, the son-in-law and the eldest son, who can rob him?

"Your Majesty, the queen mother gave birth to a dragon son, and everyone in the palace has doubled their money this month, do you think it?" Wei Qian built yì next to it. By the way, let Hongchun go to the Emperor Taishang to report the good news.

"Yes." Situ Yun is holding his son, where else do you want to get anything else?

But something soon broke the joy of the crowd.

"Your Majesty, a few palace maids in the water room committed suicide."

"Suicide!" Situ Yun's face sank, and he kicked over: "Useless thing!" Just a few palace maids, you can't stand it? ”

"Come on, go and send all the people who have been in contact with these palace maids in the past few days to the court, I must not let this matter go lightly!"

"Majesty!" Wei Qian's face was shocked, and he hurriedly stopped Situ Yun: "The prince is born, pray for him, and it is not appropriate to see blood." Giving him a look, Situ Yun gritted his teeth, held back his anger and left with Wei Qian.

When Empress Dowager Chen came out, Wen Po gave her the baby. "What about the Emperor and Concubine Ning?"

His Majesty was just angry and was stopped by Concubine Ning, and the two left temporarily. Concubine Ning said, please ask the Queen Mother to take care of the Queen Mother temporarily, and she and Her Majesty will go to the Emperor to report the good news. ”

"Oh?" Empress Dowager Chen also heard the movement just now inside: "Forget it, Concubine Ning persuaded that nothing would happen." ”

Wei Qian forcibly pulled Situ Yun to Yongfu Palace and closed the door: "Your Majesty, how unwise, if this matter really breaks out?" When you meet those princes, are you really ready to kill? ”

"Humph! This kind of thing, presumably my father would not dare to protect them! ”

In the harem, the Empress Dowager Chen looked at her to death, and she was able to start on the queen's side, and it could only be the connections of those concubines and princes.

They have been operating in the palace for many years, and they are more powerful than Situ Yun's mother and son. Although they are currently suppressed and weakened by Empress Dowager Chen, who knows who these old people in the palace have received in the past? Who's behind it?

"What about the evidence? Which prince do you want to target? What are you going to do in the court? ”

"Proof! Evidence! My son was almost killed! At this time, you still tell me about the evidence? Situ Yun roared at Wei Qian, Wei Qian frowned, and sat on the chair: "Otherwise? ”

Wei Qian said: "What do you want to do?" Directly ordered the princes to commit suicide? Believe it or not, you yourself died the next day? Everyone knows that these princes still have power in the palace all these years, but who knows who is behind which palace person? Even if the court is reorganized, these people can't find out. ”

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, please think twice."

Situ Yun listened, calmed down, sat on the chair, swallowed the tea, still couldn't hold back, and dropped the teacup.

"Damn brute!"

"That's it!" Wei Qian saw that Situ Yun didn't fall enough in Qingning Palace, and he was angry in his Yongfu Palace, and couldn't help but say: "The concubine has been these tea cups for some years, if your majesty is not angry, turn around and the concubine will give you the wooden tea set at the back." After the fall, let's go to the Emperor Taishang to complain! ”

"Sue?" Situ Yun thought thoughtfully: "Yes, I can't check it myself, but I can let the Emperor Taishang do it." He is always embarrassed to treat himself and the future prince poorly for the sake of other sons, right? ”

As soon as the anger subsided, he returned to normal, his mind went around for a while, and his face was impressive: "Lin'er from the sky, I have a little gaffe." You're right, if it's really the concubines who do it, this matter will make the father and emperor come forward. At worst, let the mother take away the control of the concubines, so as not to make waves in the future. ”

Cutting off the rights of those concubines, this is the bottom line. If the Emperor Taishang is unwilling to even do this, then the contradiction between the two emperors will be completely intensified by the Emperor Taishang, and he will definitely refuse.

Situ Yun wanted to understand this and looked at Wei Qian.

The two deliberately dressed up, their eyes were red, their clothes were wolf, Situ Yun was sad, Wei Qian's face was weeping, and the two emperors and concubines went to Taiji Pavilion to complain.

An actor, a queen, even if the emperor sees it, he can't help but have a headache. The two of them had a resolute attitude, and they had to ask the Emperor Taishang to find out clearly.

Wei Qianyu took pear blossoms, and said delicately: "Your Majesty is not a timid concubine. If he can attack the queen today, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not attack the concubine and the emperor in the future. If one day, this person reaches into the Taiji Pavilion......"

"Smack-" The teacup in the Emperor's hand passed over Wei Qian's ear. "Shut up!"

Seeing this, Situ Yun immediately put down his hat and said compassionately: "Father, Ming people don't say dark words. Who did this, Erchen also knew in his heart. Erchen has endured and endured in the past few years, if you let Erchen endure it again this time, it is better for your father and emperor to come out to govern again, and those brothers in the province are staring at Erchen's heirs every day, ready to let Erchen cut off his children and grandchildren. ”

As soon as the two sang and harmonized, Wei Qian sobbed in a low voice: "Your Majesty, those princes are your sons, aren't Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince your children and grandchildren." You take care of those sons every day, have you ever thought about the situation of your son? ”

Emperor Taishang's face turned pale and pale, and he suddenly picked up a sword from the side and aimed it at Wei Qian......
