The previous dynasty was still lively, and the lord fought the ministers with one manpower, and no defeat was revealed.

Empress Xu had just seen the imperial doctor who had returned from prison, and when she heard that the princess of Zhuang Yi had entered the court, she hurried to this side.

When I arrived at the former court, the Spiegel Hall had already dissolved, and the minister came out intermittently. Walking at the back is Uncle Xu Guo.

"Brother."

Uncle Xu Guo looked at the place where the voice came from. Empress Taishang stood under the cornices in a corner, looking anxious.

He stepped forward in his dress, arched his sleeves and said, "Middle Palace." ”

"Your Majesty's opinion, it's for the sake of King Changshan. What did the previous dynasty say? ”

"Although it is not necessarily forcibly exonerating King Changshan, it is all accusing His Majesty of negligence and injustice of the ministers. The matter is serious, although the palace can rest assured, the lord is not an arrogant and unreasonable person, she only asked the king of Changshan to be released from prison pending trial, the evidence is not sufficient at present, this please is reasonable, we have no way to refute. Uncle Xu Guo glanced behind him, "Zhonggong is very careful, but this matter is not considered." ”

When Empress Xu heard this, her face changed abruptly.

Uncle Xu pretended not to see it, and said, "Hmm": "...... It was the lord who came out, and Rong Chen retired first. ”

She just didn't have time to leave. Empress Xu tidied up her clothes and stood quietly in place.

When the lord saw her, he only brushed his body from a distance, and walked down the stone steps without saying a word.

This woman who has gone through three dynasties is extremely difficult to deal with, when the palace concubine first entered the Houfu, the princess was ordered to train the etiquette palace rules of the ladies of each family, which was very harsh and severe, and the punishment was never soft. He has never been in her hands, and even a simple woman like Madame Mulan has had a dispute with her.

Empress Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment her heart tightened again. Now is a very critical time, His Majesty can't shake his mind, and he has to make a decision very quickly, but what attitude does His Majesty hold? She seemed to wake up. It was time for Her Majesty to return to Zitai at this time, she pondered for a while, and walked in the direction of Zitai in a panic.

Emperor Hongjia had just changed out of his court clothes, sat in the hall, and asked the maid to fix her hair. Seeing Empress Xu coming in, she raised her eyebrows.

The maid quickly combed her hair in a bun, but before she could put on her tiara, she was waved away. Yuan Ying sat opposite her mother: "Mother heard about Chaoshang?" ”

"Exactly. But I am not here to learn about today's events, but to know His Majesty's opinion on this matter. ”

"She's just a suspect, and it's not clear that she's the mastermind. It's not appropriate to be confined to the edict again, so I will temporarily take her to the Sky Fox Villa. Yuan Ying was very embarrassed, rubbing her hands back and forth on her thighs, "Mother, the rebellion of the displaced people in Changjun has been alleviated, and Lingjun has made great contributions to controlling the chaos......"

"My son has relented." Empress Xu heard what she meant, "Wu'an Hou returned to the East China Sea, and the trees equivalent to Nanshan can't be removed, and now King Changshan has planted the horse himself, saving you and me from doing it, wouldn't it be better." His Majesty is reluctant now, and I am afraid that it will be even more unbearable in the future, and the long pain is better than the short pain. ”

"Oh. I forgot to tell you something very important. Empress Xu raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, while Yuan Ying showed a puzzled expression.

"What Yuan Yuan can't give you, Yuan Lingjun can also give you. She has the one thing you want most at this time. Empress Xu pressed her abdomen lightly, and when she saw Yuan Ying's mouth closed in surprise, she continued, "Women, whether they are the emperor or their wives, when they are neglected by men or unable to gain enthusiasm, they can be reborn from an unhappy marriage with the hope of having an heir. At such times, Majesty Xià should think carefully. ”

The Empress's words struck the young empress like a whip, and she struggled in agony like a drowning child.

"What the mother says, the son will consider carefully." Yuan Ying clenched her fingers and closed her eyes weakly.

The moonlight is quiet, the Sky Fox Villa stands in the night, exuding the gentle temperament of a beautiful woman, the courtyard torch is scattered everywhere, the lake is dotted with sparkling lights, a group of cranes perched by the water, and there are two sentry.

On the corridor, several maids approached, some of them served food, and the two people in front of them were guided by lamps.

"Bringing supper food to that one again?" The palace official asked.

"Exactly." The maid replied.

The man who was on the lantern was the first to push the door in. There is a glass couch under the window of the main hall, and there are people sleeping on the couch and clothes, with their backs to the lattice door, and they don't move when they hear the sound.

The maid did not know whether she was asleep or awake, but she put the table on the table and left behind closed the door. She would use it herself, because every time they came in to clean up, the dishes were clean and there was no rice left.

Xu Chunyue waited under the corridor until the palace people came out.

"How's her meal?"

The maid replied: "The food is still used, but she doesn't speak, and every time she goes in, she is asleep, as if she is sick." ”

"If you're sick, ask the doctor to come and see you. The queen has a life, and the child in her womb can't have an accident. ”

Listening to the deliberately low-pitched conversation, the man on the couch suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the roof with his eyes intently, as if lost in thought.

After looking at it for a while, Yuan Lingjun slowly walked to the food table and picked up the chopstick.

Tonight is the sleepless night of the master of the Changji Palace, and the people in the guest house are also unable to sleep.

Fan Xin lay on the branches of the white elm, although his eyes were closed, the god was awake. He seemed to get used to it, to be alert at night. At this moment, there was the sound of light footsteps.

Like a black cat, he jumped off the tree with quick movements, straightened up his crooked clothes, and asked, "Childe hasn't slept yet?" ”

Qu Yi stood on the steps of the court, and the expression on his face was hidden under the shadow of the eaves.

"You are complying with your concubine's request for the sake of your mother." He didn't answer the question.

Fan Xin lowered his head and said sadly: "Chen was raised by his mother alone since he was a child. Qu Yi seemed to be looking at him, and he seemed to be looking at the jade toad in the sky.

"If you only live for your family, or if you are a concubine Fan, you are just a weapon in her hand to obey orders, if one day, you want to change your original mind and live for a person you never thought of."

He knew that the person Childe was talking about was the lord. Fan Xin couldn't even speak, and his whole body lost strength.

"I have never had such a thought, Chen's life has long been destined with the rise and fall of the Fan family, how can he have different thoughts."

Qu Yi chuckled, with a bitter taste in his smile. "What do you say that you are destined to become a father, will it be too casual and irresponsible to decide rashly in your life." It was as if he was speaking to himself.

"What did Childe just say?" Fan Xin raised her face and looked at Qu Yi in surprise.

"Congratulations, you're about to become a father."

Fan Xin was stunned, and at the same time he couldn't believe it, a thought flashed in his mind, he actually wanted to peep at the man in front of him, what was the expression on his face? But his reaction was to lower his head, his eyes so sore that he wanted to shed tears.

Qu Yi slowly walked towards the white elm tree, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on his shoulders, lining him with an outstanding demeanor, like a mortal immortal.

Qu Yi patted him on the shoulder: "I want you to go back to Changshan." ”
