Chapter Seventy-One

The concubine in the palace was lying on the bed with a pale face, Emperor Yan looked at it and felt uncomfortable, since the birth of the concubine that day, although Emperor Yan did not favor the concubine as much as before, his attitude towards the concubine has eased a lot, and now he has learned that the concubine has a miscarriage, and the bad things in the past are all gone, and even the concealment of the concubine's pregnancy, Emperor Yan feels that he can forgive and even understand.

The concubine wept silently, and the palace maid hurriedly persuaded, "Niangniang must not cry, what should I do if I hurt my eyes?" ”

Emperor Yan sat on the edge of the bed and held the concubine's hand, only to feel that the concubine's hand was cold, took the handkerchief and wiped the concubine's eyes and said warmly, "We still have Zuo'er." ”

When it came to Qin Zuo, the concubine only felt that sorrow came from it, but she couldn't cry out loud, because it was too wolfy, and tears kept falling from her eyes slightly, and she was pitiful.

The palace grandmother brought brown sugar water, and Emperor Yan looked at it and said, "Give it to me." ”

"Yes."

Emperor Yan took the bowl, took a spoonful and said, "Moisten your lips first." ”

A miscarriage is more harmful than childbirth, especially since the concubine is not young, the fetus in her womb is five months old, and it can already be seen that it is a boy when it comes out.

The concubine doesn't want to eat anything at all now, if Emperor Yan is not there, she can vent, but Emperor Yan is guarding here, she can only be gentle and weak, with a little moved and fragile on her face, she drank the brown sugar water in small sips, Emperor Yan is a rare patient, and fed a bowl of brown sugar water to the concubine to drink.

"Do you want more?" Emperor Yan handed the empty bowl to the palace maid on the side and asked.

The concubine shook her head, and her feelings were much calmer, in fact, what she needed most at this time was rest, "Your Majesty, I don't have anything to do with it, don't delay the important political affairs." ”

Emperor Yan asked the concubine to lie down, sat on the edge of the bed and held the concubine's hand and said, "It's okay, I will accompany you, and I will leave when you are asleep." ”

The concubine smiled reluctantly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Yan stretched out his hand to straighten the concubine's hair, "Sleep." ”

The concubine closed her eyes at this time, she has guarded against anyone in her life, but she has never guarded against her son, the little son who grew up in her belly little by little, and gave birth to it with all her might, has grown from such a small baby who only knows how to hum and cry to what it is now.

She has done all the bad things in her life, her hands are full of human lives, she can say that she is sorry for anyone, but she has never been sorry for her son, and she has done this qiē for him.

But it was her son.

The concubine gently put her hand on her lower abdomen, if Qin Zuo was willing to discuss with her, she would ...... I won't refuse, a child who hasn't been born yet, where is Qin Zuo important, but Qin Zuo didn't say anything, and after making a clever arrangement, he brought the medicated soup to her.

Not long ago, there was a little life here, and she actually didn't expect to have a child again after so many years...... The concubine only felt pain in her heart, is this retribution?

"Father, how is the concubine?" Qin Zuo walked in with a light step.

Emperor Yan sighed and said softly, "Just go to sleep." ”

In fact, the concubine didn't rest at all, listening to Emperor Yan and Qin Zuo talking.

Qin Zuo pretended to be angry, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Mother concubine...... The doctors all said that the mother's fetus is very stable, and I have always wanted a younger brother or sister. As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

Emperor Yan also felt heartache, "Okay, I will definitely investigate this matter strictly!" ”

Qin Zuo wiped his face with his sleeve and said, "It's my son who lost his temper." ”

Emperor Yan shook his head and didn't say anything, this is a concubine, a concubine can be miscarried if she is pregnant, so ...... Emperor Yan began to doubt again in his heart, at first he suspected that those things in the harem were done by the concubine, but now it seems that it is not necessarily, but who else can there be besides the queen and the concubine? Or are neither of them innocent?

Qin Zuo saw that Emperor Yan didn't react for a long time, and said with a change of heart, "Father, son ......."

Before she finished speaking, the concubine opened her eyes, no matter how uncomfortable she was, it was impossible for her to really let Emperor Yan suspect Qin Zuo, "Zuo'er, why are you here?" ”

Emperor Yan looked at the concubine and asked, "But it disturbed your rest?" ”

"I can't sleep either." The concubine burst into tears as she spoke, "I always feel like ...... when I close my eyes."

Qin Zuo only felt that the time when the concubine woke up was wrong, but because of what he had done, he was inevitably a little weak-hearted, so he avoided the concubine's eyes and said, "Is the concubine okay?" ”

The concubine half-propped up her body, her hand under the quilt tightly grasped the mattress, but a smile appeared on her face and said comfortingly, "It's okay, Zuo'er has finished her homework today?" ”

Qin Zuo whispered, "My son is worried about his mother. ”

"Really?" As soon as the concubine spoke, she felt that her tone was wrong, "That can't delay your homework and disappoint your father." ”

Emperor Yan persuaded, "Zuo'er is filial, forget it today." ”

The concubine didn't speak, lowered her head and answered, Emperor Yan said, "I will come to see you later, Zuo'er will accompany your mother and concubine." ”

"Yes." Qin Zuo responded with some uneasiness, he arranged it very carefully, the mother concubine shouldn't know.

The concubine responded, "That concubine is waiting for Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Yan comforted him a few more words, and the concubine said, "The concubine can't get up, let Zuo'er go and send His Majesty." ”

"No need." Emperor Yan said gently, "Since you can't sleep, let Zuo'er talk to you." ”

The concubine smiled, but didn't speak, just glanced at Qin Zuo, Qin Zuo said, "Father, my son will send you." ”

Emperor Yan didn't refuse again, so he left with Qin Zuo, and when he arrived at the door, he didn't let Qin Zuo send it, and told Qin Zuo to accompany the concubine to say something happy.

Qin Zuo responded one by one, and watched Emperor Yan leave, then turned around and went back to the house.

Emperor Yan did not go to the imperial study to deal with political affairs, but went directly to the queen's palace.

When he was at the door, Qin Zuo's footsteps stopped, took a deep breath, and then walked in as if nothing happened, but there were no people waiting in the room, only the concubine was already sitting on the bed on the cushion, looking at him with a faint look in his eyes, Qin Zuo was a little flustered in his heart, and asked calmly, "Why doesn't the concubine leave anyone to serve?" ”

"It's been a long time since our mother and son have spoken properly." The concubine didn't answer Qin Zuo's question, but asked, "My son has really grown up." ”

Qin Zuo stopped when he was still ten steps away from the bed, the concubine's face was calm, there was no joy or sorrow, and even the weakness of Emperor Yan when he was there was gone, he just repeated, "My son has really grown up." ”

"Mother concubine ......" Qin Zuo was flustered.

The concubine beckoned and said, "Come, sit down." ”

Qin Zuo pursed his lips, then walked over and didn't sit down as he said, just stood by the bed and looked down at the concubine.

The concubine said, "Sit down! ”

Qin Zuo sat down at this time, and the concubine couldn't wait to slap Qin Zuo a few times, but in the end, it was the son she had hurt for so many years, the only son, and all her hopes, "Zuo'er, for so many years, what do you want, which mother didn't do her best to give it to you?" ”

"Mother concubine......" Qin Zuo muttered, looking at the attitude of the concubine, he could no longer deceive himself, the concubine knew.

The concubine's tears kept falling, "Zuo'er, you...... Why didn't you consult with me first? ”

Qin Zuo's heart was weak and guilty, but he also had an indescribable feeling, "Mother! This kid didn't come at the right time! He's a scourge. ”

The concubine looked at Qin Zuo in surprise, she had thought a lot, why Qin Zuo did this, but she didn't expect Qin Zuo to be such a reason, even if Qin Zuo said that framing the queen for the crown prince was better than such a reason, "Calamity? Just because you think he's a scourge, you're going to get rid of him? Do you think I'm a disaster one day, and you want to get rid of me? ”

"Mother." Qin Zuo hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that, think about it, since you were pregnant, the queen and the crown prince have turned over!" Obviously, before this, my father had taken me to the imperial study to teach me how to deal with political affairs, and I corrected it, but ...... Since the mother concubine had him, what benefits have our mother and son gained? Both the queen and the crown prince are weighing on us. ”

The concubine looked at Qin Zuo, she had raised Qin Zuo for so long, but she could see that Qin Zuo really thought so.

Qin Zuo let out a breath, and when he said the things he was pressing in his heart, he felt much more comfortable, "And you are not young anymore, mother, how dangerous it is to have a child, in case the queen does something again, what will you do with your son?" ”

The concubine's nails stabbed into her palms, "So you're all thinking about me?" ”

"Doesn't the concubine want to overpower the queen again?" Qin Zuo didn't notice the abnormality of the concubine, and said, "As long as the father and emperor think that the queen did it, won't the power in charge of the harem return to the hands of the concubine?" ”

The concubine looked at Qin Zuo, closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Why don't you discuss with me?" ”

Qin Zuo said, "I'm afraid that my mother will not be reluctant." ”

Since you know why I am reluctant to do it, don't you know that miscarriage is more harmful?

It's just that the concubine can't ask these words, and some of the words come out, I'm afraid that there won't be much left of the love between their mother and son.

"For you, what else is the mother reluctant to do?" The concubine said softly, "Do you know that this thing was done in a hurry, what if there are traces left?" ”

Qin Zuo was a little unconvinced and said, "Don't worry, concubine, I've made all the arrangements." ”

The concubine felt pain in her heart, Qin Zuo was able to do these things, so she naturally used the secret stakes arranged in the palace, but those people were also taught to Qin Zuo by herself, "Really?" So why keep your mouth alive? ”

Qin Zuo looked at the concubine, and the concubine said, "I have already dealt with all those people who handled it, remember in the future, no matter what you do, you can't leave a handle on it, understand?" ”

"But those people ......" Qin Zuo was a little reluctant, those chess pieces were destroyed after only one use, he felt that it was too much pity, and it was not easy to settle □□down.

The concubine said, "Those who do big things are not informal, if they are reluctant to even do this, what else do they want to take?" These chess pieces are not reluctant, but how can he be willing to attack his mother, who has loved him for so long.

Qin Zuo responded and said, "I know." ”

The concubine asked casually, "Is there anyone new in your house?" ”

As soon as Qin Zuo wanted to speak, he remembered the man's words, his eyes flashed and he smiled, "Why does the concubine ask like this?" ”

"I just think Zuo'er has grown up." The concubine said softly.

Qin Zuo smiled and didn't speak, "Mother, as long as you pull the queen and the crown prince down, you will be the queen mother in the future." ”

The concubine's heart sank, it seemed that when she didn't know, there were many people around Qin Zuo, and she also ignored Qin Zuo a little after she became pregnant, "En." ”
