"Her Royal Highness has arrived!"

As the palace people sang, the screams and scolding that had been incessant stopped for a moment, and immediately turned into heart-rending crying. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Queen Du helped Princess Pu Yan and slowly walked into the Chengxiang Palace. When she saw the palace maids and palace people kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, she frowned slightly, and casually instructed Zhou Shanggong: "Ask what these people have committed, and those who violate the palace rules should be handed over to Gong Zheng for disposal." It's not good to kneel all over the ground, and if you make a noise, you will also collide with the concubine, which is inappropriate. ”

"Yes." When Zhou Shanggong left slowly, Yuan Meiren and Pei Jieyu, who had arrived one step earlier, happened to greet him. Both of them had just the right amount of worry on their faces, and whispered what they had seen and heard: "When the palace people were discussing the rumors that were spreading outside, they happened to be listened to by Her Royal Highness Concubine Shu. Xu was frightened and immediately became popular. The imperial doctor urgently prescribed a fetal protection prescription, but it didn't have much effect......"

Pei Jieyu looked back without a trace, looked at Zhou Shanggong, and then her face changed slightly. When Empress Du and Yan approached the bed, she gently pulled Yuan Meiren's sleeve and whispered, "There are really three or four points of resemblance." So that's the case, no wonder Concubine De bowed down to Her Royal Highness the Queen. From the beginning, their aunts, nephews, or sisters' families were members of Her Royal Highness. ”

From the beginning of the dynasty to the present, almost all the female officials in the palace are from the background of the family branches, rather than the palace maids who have served in the palace for many years. Therefore, it is not uncommon for Zhou Shanggong and Concubine Zhou De to be in the same family. It's just that at the beginning of the sage's recruitment of concubines, Queen Du took advantage of the situation to install her own people in the harem without a trace, which is really admirable.

At the beginning, Concubine Yuan Shu and Concubine Yang Xian competed with each other, one has a favor and the other has a son, what a scene? Queen Du even avoided them for a time due to recuperation, but also became a transparent person in the palace, and her status was precarious. Who hasn't imagined the middle palace at that time? The concubines who defected to Concubine Yang Xian and Concubine Yuan Shu, why didn't they fight for their future? And now? Concubine Yang Xian was abolished as a concubine, became a monk, Concubine Yuan Shu was about to lose power, and Concubine Zhou De, the remaining of the four concubines, did not need to say much-

It was not until this moment that the entire palace was truly and completely owned by Empress Du. If she gives birth to the crown prince, no concubine can shake her queenship.

Even if there is still a burning ambition in the bottom of her heart, even if she feels that she is still young, she may be able to fight for a more ambitious future - Yuan Meiren and Pei Jieyu also have to admit in their hearts that instead of going against Queen Du, it is better to defect to her and be loyal to her in order to get more reliable benefits. After all, they are no longer willful little ladies, they have a princess to raise under their knees, and their parents' family stands behind them.

Everything that Concubine Zhou Defei can get, maybe they can get it too? Even if Her Royal Highness was merciful for a moment, and something leaked from between her fingers, it was enough for them to enjoy it inexhaustibly.

No matter how complicated the emotions of the two young concubines were at this time, Queen Du had already walked slowly to Concubine Yuan Shu's sickbed. She lowered her eyes slightly, condescendingly looking down at Concubine Yuan Shu, who was pale and seemed to have lost her voice in pain, with a little pity on her face. However, if you look closely, you can find that there is only indifference and nothing else under the pity.

At this time, the medicine woman picked up a copper basin of blood, and bowed and was about to retreat. Concubine Yuan Shufei's eyes suddenly widened, her eyes were bloodshot, and she shouted heartbreakingly as if she would cry blood in the next moment: "My child!" No! Let me take another look! Let me take another look!! ”

She struggled to sit up, and soon another burst of blood came out. Another medicine woman, who was wiping her, shouted in shock, "The bleeding can't stop!" ”

"My ...... child" Almost instantly, Yuan Shufei's lips were snow-white, and her face was disastrous and withered. However, her eyes were still strikingly bright, and her hand, which was swollen from edema, stretched out far away, as if trying her best to keep the fetus, which could be faintly discerned in the basin of blood.

"Show her." Empress Du said to the medical woman. Then, she methodically instructed Feng Yu to stand outside the screen and instruct the medicine woman on how to administer needles to stop bleeding, how to use medicine, and so on. She even summoned the other imperial doctors of Shang Pharmacy and asked them to work together to consult Concubine Yuan Shu. In anyone's opinion, her behavior is impeccable. Even, even the palace maids who were deeply trusted by Concubine Yuan Shu couldn't help but have secret respect for her. After all, not any queen can face the favorite concubine who once threatened her position so calmly.

Concubine Yuan Shu stared blankly at the basin of flesh and blood, suddenly stretched out her hand to play with it, and then laughed like crazy. After laughing, he wept and wept again. With such big ups and downs in her emotions, her body naturally couldn't stand it, and even the golden needle almost couldn't stop the bleeding, so she was so anxious that a group of medical women and the imperial doctor were in a hurry.

Empress Du glanced at the basin of flesh and blood that was taken down by the medical woman, and suddenly realized what Concubine Yuan Shu was laughing at. This is a girl, even if she can be born at full term, she is only the sixth princess in the palace, not the fifth prince she misses. When she listened carefully, she heard Yuan Shufei muttering: "She lied to me, saying that this baby must be the emperor, she lied to me!" …… Slut, dare Ann lie to me!! ”

"Her Royal Highness, it's time to go back to Penglai Palace." Yan reminded beside him. The collision of blood light was also unlucky, and she was really a little worried about Queen Du's body. What's more, since she has already visited Concubine Yuan Shu and summoned the imperial doctor of Shang Pharmacy for her, Her Royal Highness the Queen has done her best. There is no point in staying in the Chengxiang Hall any longer.

Queen Du bowed slightly, stroked her abdomen, and turned around to walk.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Concubine Yuan Shufei suddenly straightened up with a hideous face and grabbed her sleeve tightly: "Tell me!" Is the saint well?! Isn't it you...... Did you deliberately let people pass the news to Chengxiang Hall in private! Are you calculating me?! ”

Empress Du frowned, and the Yan family couldn't help but be taken aback, and immediately stepped forward to pull Concubine Yuan away. However, Concubine Yuan seemed to have exhausted all her strength, but several people came around and couldn't break it together.

Seeing that she was so obsessed, Queen Du had no choice but to reply: "Of course the saint is fine, the dragon is healthy, and he is still sitting in Taiyuan Mansion." However, the reason why these rumors are circulating everywhere is the plan of your niece's family of the good clan. How exactly it came to the palace, I think you know better than me. As for me, I have never believed such rumors, and naturally I will not use them for any tricks. ”

"......" Concubine Yuan Shufei looked at her in a daze, slowly let go of her hand, and then tilted her head and fell on the sickbed, unconscious. The doctors immediately surrounded the diagnosis and continued to administer needles, while the imperial doctors racked their brains to prescribe various prescriptions for internal and external applications. Since they have received the order of Her Royal Highness the Queen, they are doing their best, and they should also save Concubine Yuan Shu.

When Queen Du stepped on the phoenix, she took the Yan family and looked back at Yuan Meiren and Pei Jieyu, who bowed to see each other off. Yuan Shufei suspected that she had done something, which was naturally not unreasonable. Why did she just forbid the palace people to quietly spread rumors in private, and their discussion happened to be heard by Concubine Yuan Shu, who was bedridden and raising a baby? Who else can do this in Chengxiang Palace, besides Yuan Meiren? These two aunts and nephews have the same temperament, which makes it really difficult to trust.

She gently pressed her abdomen, and suddenly said, "Third sister-in-law, aren't Xuan Qi and Jiangxia King both waiting for the opportunity?" Do you think that such a big event happened in the palace, can it be called a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? If Yuan Shufei is not enough, then what about me? Such a fat bait could lure the enemy out? ”

Yan shook his head: "Her Royal Highness the Queen's phoenix body is precious, so you still have to be cautious." Even if it's just the matter of Concubine Yuan Shu, a little oil and vinegar is enough to lure the enemy. ”

"We can't despise this Jiangxia County King who has endured for many years." Empress Du continued, "There is no more suitable bait than the palace chaos." It is impossible for a person like him to wait for the saint to triumph to start an incident, let alone encounter the court counterinsurgency army that has gone through ups and downs. Therefore, he must take advantage of every opportune opportunity. As long as there is no doubt about it, he will definitely swallow the bait without hesitation. ”

After that, she didn't care about listening to Yan's persuasion anymore, so she ordered the palace people to go to the palace of Xin'an County to summon the news. After returning to Penglai Palace, he summoned Qin An, the Duke of Wu, and King Jing to discuss the use of the plan. In terms of temperament, Qin An does not like to be too adventurous, but prefers peace and tranquility. After listening to Queen Du's thoughts, she naturally refused to agree. On the contrary, after King Jing groaned slightly, he nodded and said: "When it is extraordinary, you should use extraordinary measures, but." ”

Of course, they didn't know that after the king of Xin'an County got the strategy supplemented by Queen Du, it was like a treasure. He changed his decree slightly, and then ordered it to be passed on. In just a few hours, this edict spread throughout Chang'an City, and the sixteen guards who received the edict were like lightning strikes.

Yi Zhi said: Because Her Royal Highness the Queen and Her Royal Highness Concubine Yuan Shufei were worried about the safety of the saint thousands of miles away, they specially sent 16 guards to Taiyuan Mansion to escort them. The sixteen guards in the capital can leave the appropriate men and horses, and all the rest must prepare armor, weapons and horses, and within three days, hurry up and rush to the battlefield.

"How can the guards be transferred away from the capital and cause the defense to be empty? Woman's view! A woman's opinion!! ”

"It's all like this, of course, the safety of the saint is more important!! If you can't be sure whether the saint is in peace with the dragon body, the rumors in the capital don't know how long it will last, and it is impossible to stabilize easily! Killing two birds with one stone is indeed a rare good strategy. ”

"Then if something happens in the capital, will there be a few dozen guards left to deal with it?"

"What else could happen? The anti-king is still in Shengzhou and Shuozhou!! It's safe in the capital!! ”

In all corners of Chang'an City, similar controversies abound. And in a certain palatial mansion, someone stroked his hands and laughed: "Finally this day has come!" King, the opportunity is just around the corner, what are you waiting for? ”

"Lone originally thought that the plan in the palace would be difficult to achieve, but the plan outside the palace might work. Unexpectedly, the woman of the Yuan family was really powerful. And the Pu Wang lineage is also expected to be cautious, leaving almost no flaws. Of course, it's just 'almost'. The other person curled the corners of his lips, "Fortunately, the king of Xin'an County married the Du family." ”

"This is the Heavenly Aid King, and it will be successful!!"

"I borrowed Mr. Yang's auspicious words."
