The imperial concubine was sick, and the emperor also allowed her to live in the Tongtai Palace.

Ning Guiyi looked at the child in the nurse's arms, silently listened to the gossip whispered by the chess, and was even more jealous in her heart, it seems that the weight of the imperial heir in the emperor's mind is still quite heavy. Today's three princes will be their own honor guards in the future, who knows that their children can't be kept.

"The queen asked the master to go to enjoy the bamboo, what clothes does the master plan to wear?" Qi'er asked, since the death of the third prince's nurse, he has been both respectful and afraid of his master.

"Look at it, the emperor hasn't come to the incense hall these days." Ning Guiyi instructed the nurse to take the third prince down.

Qi'er served Ning Guiyi to comb her hair, and it just so happened that someone reported that it was Aunt Huaxin who asked to see her.

Painting the heart is the emperor's person, did the emperor start to recruit himself?

Ning Guiyi summoned Huaxin.

Huaxin looked at Ning Guiyi's haggard expression, and opened her lips slowly: "The slave and maid Huaxin ask Ning Guiyi for peace." ”

Ning Guiyi asked, "What do you mean by Aunt Huaxin's visit?" ”

"The emperor ordered the slaves and maids to come to the incense hall to ask Ning Guiyi for questioning?" Huaxin said, for some reason Ning Guiyi thought of Yao Shunren, who was grounded and punished, and had a little calculation in her heart.

The two came to the Tongtai Palace, the emperor was serving and feeding the imperial concubine, and heard that Ning Guiyi was coming, so he beckoned her out of the palace: "How is the third prince of Ning Guiyi?" I heard that the third prince has lost some weight recently, and the nurse I served you has committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, and I want to know the truth. ”

Ning Guiyi blessed her body and said: "The concubine heard the concubine's maid Qi'er say that the nurse stuffed ice cubes in Qian'er's mouth, so she had to reprimand a few words, but I didn't expect this nurse to have a strong heart and commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake." ”

The emperor's eyes were cold: "I gave you a chance but you lied to me, I have always valued you very much, so I let you serve in front of the Queen Mother, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person." ”

Ning Guiyi hurriedly knelt down: "The concubine is telling the truth, and there is no way to hide it." ”

The emperor sighed leisurely: "You put the cold medicine in the imperial concubine's palace?" ”

Ning Guiyi's tears were almost unstoppable, and she cried: "The concubine really didn't hide it, as for the imperial concubine, the concubine has no reason to harm her." ”

The emperor snorted coldly: "Don't think you really don't know your ghost tricks, the nine-screen phoenix on the purse was embroidered by you Yao Shunren, yes or no, there is evidence, I look at the face of the third prince, spare you this time." ”

Ning Guiyi said: "The concubine is really wronged, what purse is not purse, and the concubine does not know anything." ”

The emperor looked at her delicate face and sneered: "I found Persimmon Pedicle in your dormitory, did you buy off the palace people of Chengqian Palace to do this?" ”

Ning Guiyi's crying makeup was spent: "The concubine is really wronged, the concubine doesn't know medical skills, and she has no grievances with the imperial concubine, how can she attack the imperial concubine?" ”

"Go down, if something happens to the imperial concubine, you can bury her with her." The emperor's voice was stern, and Ning Guiyi still wanted to distinguish a few words, but before she could speak, a palace maid reported that the imperial concubine had woken up

The pain spreads from the bottom of my heart, why does it hurt so much?

She opened her eyes hard, and wasted a lot of effort to see the emperor in front of her, but she didn't want to believe this fact.

Does the emperor really still love her?

Why do those hurtful words pierce the heart?

"Ah Xuan, you're finally awake." The emperor lay beside his bedside, his face haggard and not like the king of a country.

"The concubine is guilty." The imperial concubine lowered her eyelashes, her long eyelashes burst out of fan-shaped butterfly wings, her pale face, and her bruised lips looked less stubborn than before, and she was a little more sad.

"Don't scare me, okay?" The emperor hugged the imperial concubine into his arms, and the imperial concubine looked at the outer hall: "Who were you talking to just now?" ”

The emperor's hand froze: "There is no one." ”

"The emperor still wants to hide it from me? I know all about it, those persimmons and concubines know, and the concubines ordered the palace people to put them. The smile on the corner of the imperial concubine's lips was absent, "The concubine already has two princes, Zhongwen and Zhongde, and she has raised Shuolan, and the concubine is content." ”

The emperor's face sank, but he was about to get angry, and when he saw the gauze on the imperial concubine's forehead, his heart softened: "Why did the imperial concubine speak for Ning Guiyi?" ”

"It's not easy for Ning Guiyi to raise the third prince, so let's avoid her sins." The imperial concubine said, "She serves the queen mother with all her heart, and the concubines can't compare." ”

The emperor nodded: "I listen to you, but Yao Shunren's matter"

The imperial concubine smiled dumbly: "Sister Yao is a rare woman in the palace, kind and gentle, you say that she harms the palace is nothing, the palace treats her well, how can she have the heart to harm the palace." ”

The emperor saw that she was struggling to speak, so he put her on the bed and fed her the decoction with his own hands.

At this time, Gonggong Lu came over and said: "Your Majesty, Ning Guiyi has fainted while kneeling outside the palace."

The imperial concubine turned her head to look at the emperor: "Please let the emperor let her go." ”

The emperor ordered the palace maid to support Ning Guiyi and return to the incense hall.

The imperial concubine opened a pair of big eyes, staring at the bright yellow curtain, the emperor took the medicine bowl and poured it down to her spoonful, the emperor's loving gaze overwhelmed her, so many years have passed, she can never forget the throbbing in her heart, but he still remembers the original agreement in front of him.

"I remember, the first time I saw you, you looked at me like this, and you were still King Ning's fiancée at that time." The emperor didn't care at all, he still said it, and when he caught a glimpse of her sad eyes, he didn't continue, "After so many years, you still haven't forgotten him." ”

The imperial concubine looked at the emperor's stubble face, but she didn't have any doubts: "The emperor has mentioned King Ning for so many years. ”

The emperor sighed and took the imperial concubine in his arms, rubbing her soft hair: "You resent me? ”

The imperial concubine chuckled: "What the concubine wants to say is that King Ning didn't care about the original matter, how can this palace resent the emperor, Zhongwen Zhongde has grown up for so many years, what is the concubine not satisfied." ”

The emperor hugged the imperial concubine: "Tomorrow, I will order you to return to the Chengqian Palace." ”

The imperial concubine didn't speak, and the hourglass magic voice in the hall was miao, disturbing the heartstrings: "Your Majesty, do you know how the concubine agreed to the emperor in the first place?" ”

The emperor held her cold hand: "Don't say it." ”

The imperial concubine chuckled: "Is this an order from the emperor, if it wasn't for King Ning marrying Princess Huaiyin, how could the concubine agree to the emperor." ”

The emperor sighed: "Princess Huaiyin is my own sister, I know that you like King Ning, so I decreed that the lord of Huaiyin marry King Ning." ”

The imperial concubine looked at the emperor: "However, if King Ning has not accepted it, how can the concubine accept such a betrayal?" Most of the concubines marrying the emperor are just angry. ”

The emperor didn't speak: "I know everything, but haven't you also liked me after so many years?" I can take your purse with me. ”

Saying that, he took out the purse, and the mandarin duck playing in the water on it was very exquisite: "Ah Xuan's craftsmanship is good, everyone is a male mandarin duck in the front and a female mandarin duck in the back, Ah Xuan has to be reversed, which is really surprising to me." ”

The imperial concubine covered her lips and smiled, and she was brilliant: "Is it good for the emperor to fight with the palace with swords?" ”

The emperor smiled and kissed the forehead of the imperial concubine, and the warm touch made him sweet: "Ai Concubine, if the world is unified, I will definitely accompany you to fight the sword rivers and lakes. ”

The imperial concubine smiled knowingly, just like Xia Hua's warm and pure: "The emperor has all the opportunities, naturally he has no time to fight with Ah Xuan, Ah Xuan is just wishful thinking,"

The emperor felt a pain in his heart: "I can't live up to the last wishes of the Virtuous Spiritual Mother, if the national strength of the Great Liang cannot be restored to the first emperor, how can I face the Virtuous Spiritual Mother, how can I face the first emperor." ”

The imperial concubine hugged the emperor tightly, buried himself in his bright yellow clothes, smelled the refreshing ambergris, and opened her lips leisurely: "The concubine understands." ”

When the emperor saw that she called herself a "concubine" again, he felt bitter in his heart, closed his eyes, and hugged Ah Xuan's slender waist: "You know, I really love you." ”
