Seeing that the summer has also passed, it has reached the early autumn season, Qiwen's stomach is so heavy that she can't sleep flat, the symptoms of insomnia are becoming more and more severe, and the day and night are muddy.

One afternoon, when I was catching up on sleep, I didn't know how many times I dreamed of the emperor returning, caressing her belly, kissing her face, and narrating his unflirtatious love words.

As my consciousness gradually became clear, I realized that it was another dream, and my nose was a little sour. I secretly said in my heart: If you don't come back, I won't even remember your face, have you forgotten what I look like, so you are in such a hurry to come back to see me?

Lazily opened her eyes, and unexpectedly saw a dark figure standing in front of her looking at her, Qiwen was startled.

The queen was also startled when she saw this, and hurriedly pulled the thin quilt on her body for her: "I didn't expect you to wake up at this moment, and it scared you." Alas, what a ......"

Qiwen settled down and sat up: "It's okay, it's okay, it's because I can't sleep well, so I'm so surprised." ”

A palace maid brought tea, and the queen sat on the embroidered pier by the bed, took the tea cup and handed it to Qiwen: "I came to you in a hurry because I wanted to tell you about a good thing as soon as possible, so I had an urgent report to the palace to say that the war with Heguo had been fought and that the contract would be signed immediately." Emperor...... I'm coming back soon. ”

Qiwen just took half a sip of tea, and her hand was loose, and the tea cup fell to the side of the bed with a clatter, causing the queen and the palace maid to remedy it with sincere fear.

Qiwen couldn't care about anything, so she took the queen's hands and asked urgently, "Sister, are you serious?" ”

The queen smiled and said, "Naturally, it's true." But don't worry, the urgent report said that the emperor had actually returned recently, just because of the rebellion of the Sanskrit Yin Sect and the tendency to enter Beijing, the emperor decided not to enter Beijing for the time being, and directly led the troops south to quell the rebellion. But after all, there are few people in the Sanskrit Sect, and the distance is close, and the emperor will be able to return to Beijing soon. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned his palace maid to come, took the urgent report and handed it to Qiwen.

This kind of emergency report used to be delivered to Qiwen first, but Qiwen's spirit has become worse and worse for a while, so people let people hand it over to the queen first. Qiwen took it and took a look, the content was what the queen said, and she was really happy and sad in her heart.

The Fanyin Sect is only a group of cults and disorderly people who have been operating in the area of Shandong and Hebei in recent years, and it is true that the number of people is not large, and it is only because the location is too close to the capital that it poses a certain threat. The emperor wants to lead a large army to exterminate that group of people, which can be described as killing chickens with a knife, and it will indeed be a success, and it will not take much work.

But Qiwen is still very dissatisfied: pass the door and don't enter, cosplay Dayu, you! Is it just a little messy civilian can you personally lead so many soldiers to fight as an emperor? Don't think I can't see that you haven't fought enough!

It is said that she is pregnant for ten months, but it is actually only more than nine months, and thirty-eight weeks is considered full-term, Qiwen can calculate that she has been pregnant for more than thirty-six weeks now, and it can be said that it has reached the time when it may be launched at any time. But he didn't come back at this time! If the battle is not over, is it worth delaying the birth of the child for the sake of such a little chaos?

The queen saw that she was depressed, and took her hand to persuade gently: "I can't wait for a few days in total, don't worry, the emperor must be thinking about you and planning to come back quickly." You just eat and sleep and wait for him, maybe he'll be there in half a day. ”

The care on her face was really real, Qiwen was full of emotion, and held her hand with her backhand and said, "Sister, thank you so much, thank you so much these days." ”

At first, she was always unaccustomed to calling the queen her sister, as if that would be to recognize and accept their relationship between wives and concubines. She would rather call her a mother, keep a certain distance from her, and keep a private mind of "I am a family with him, not you".

She never thought that she could really be friends with the queen, and at that time she took the initiative to ask the emperor to send her to Kunyu Palace to accompany the queen, thinking about repairing the relationship with the queen, in fact, it was similar to treating the queen as a boss to attack, and she didn't have any idea of treating her sincerely.

But after getting along in the past few months, I have seen more and more of the queen's goodness, and I feel the queen's kindness more and more. The queen's qualifications are limited, but she is doing her best to care for her and take care of her, especially when she is not energetic for a while, she is even more thoughtful.

These days, not only do good things eat close to her, but also pay attention to taking care of her everywhere, the queen also deliberately collects precautions for taking care of pregnant women, no matter how small and out of the door is also strictly avoided, today she is not allowed to eat this, tomorrow she is not allowed to do that, I heard that what is good to eat, and I can't wait to persuade her to eat more every day, just like a superstitious and concerned mother, lest a little accident let her have an accident, sometimes it makes Qiwen cry and laugh.

Conscientiousness and dedication are very different, if you say that you are only responsible for the face, you don't need to do this at all. Qiwen can see that the queen is really doing her best.

The queen is really a good person, and she is really kind to everyone around her, but Qiwen has always thought that she really doesn't need to be so kind to herself, this kindness is the most illustrative of her kindness.

People's hearts can be warmed, and Qiwen asked herself if she changed places, she would never be as kind and kind as the queen. She was really moved, and she really regarded the queen as a relative more and more, and felt that it was really her blessing to meet such a good queen.

The queen smiled when she heard this: "I heard that someone will always be sad and happy after she is pregnant, but I haven't seen it yet, and I only know it when I see you." What is the thank you for? You can rest in peace, and when the emperor comes back, it will be all right. ”

Qiwen sat in a daze, unconsciously pondering this sentence, "waiting for the emperor to come back" is the sweetest wish for her at present, but when he comes back, it will form a situation where the queen retreats as an ornament and avoids leaving her and the emperor's private space from time to time, is that really "all right"?

It was as if a villain suddenly popped out of her mind and stabbed her, reminding her with bad intentions: Wake up, if you want to be friends with this woman, there is no hope in this life.

Qiwen doesn't want to accept this statement, she wants to believe that there are really good people in the world who are selfless, and there is really sincere affection that can still be maintained under this embarrassing relationship, but she can't drive away the villain hidden in her subconscious, the villain who keeps laughing at her for being stupid and naïve.

……

Human beings are emotional animals, so they must always vent their emotions in some way. The eunuchs were deprived of some of the most important means of catharsis for ordinary people, so they needed to find another way out. Therefore, the enthusiasm of eunuchs in some other hobbies often surpasses ordinary people (it is said that the sword can be practiced from the palace to practice divine skills), and drinking and having fun is a hobby that most eunuchs are extremely keen on.

On this day, Qian Yuanhe, the superintendent of the East Factory, and seven of his most iron-clad colleagues had a good drink in the Zuixian Building that they frequented, and it was already dark outside when they went out.

In order to dissipate the smell of alcohol, all the eunuchs withdrew from their entourage, laughing and laughing, while staggering along the street. This place is located at the junction of the inner city and the outer city of Beijing, and it is usually the place where the three religions and nine streams converge. At this time, the curfew was long past the curfew, and the common people would not meet except for powerful people like them.

Unexpectedly, they met several women after they walked for a short time. The women, all of whom were slender and richly dressed, gladly glared at them as if they were passing by them.

At first glance, it was a woman in a green house who went to the street to solicit customers, and the eight eunuchs didn't take it seriously, but they had the opportunity to be mistaken for a man by a woman, and they were all in a good mood.

Wu Feng, who also worked in Longxi Pavilion, quipped to Qian Yuanhe: "Those girls must have taken a fancy to the demeanor of our Qian Governor, why don't you treat them today, and everyone will have fun in the Governor's Mansion again?" ”

Several other eunuchs immediately coaxed in agreement, Qian Yuanhe was dazed, waved his hand, and said, "What are you having fun with?" It's only right to go home early and go to bed. Now that the mother doesn't care about things, we can't be too slack. ”

The youngest eunuch patted Wu Feng on the shoulder and smiled, "Senior Brother Wu can't see it yet?" The Overseer only has 'sister' in his heart, where can he see such a vulgar fan? ”

The eunuchs suddenly laughed and agreed, Qian Yuanhe's eyes opened, and half of the wine woke up, and immediately scolded: "I'm dizzy of you!" You dare to say this kind of rebellious words, and if the emperor is not there, no one will treat you! ”

All the eunuchs were drunk by him, and they all woke up, and they couldn't help but look around with a weak heart.

Only then did they find that the women who had just staggered past them did not leave, but still stopped under the shadow of the lamp not far away, talking quietly and looking at them.

It seems that they really have the intention to do their business, and the drunken eunuchs calmed down as soon as they were happy, so they pushed Qian Yuanhe and encouraged him to come forward to help.

Qian Yuanhe was still prevaricating and resisting, but the women walked back towards them first, and a tall woman, wearing a semi-transparent pink gauze shirt, and shaking a light Luo fan in her hand, bent a pair of Danfeng eyes and asked with a smile: "This master is the Qian Governor of Dongchang?" ”

The eunuchs were surprised to know their identities, but it would not be surprising if the fireworks girls knew that they were eunuchs but deliberately stammered because of their high status.

Qian Yuanhe noticed that this thing was a little strange with the clever habits cultivated by leading the East Factory for more than half a year, but what kind of strange method, with his current drowsy brain, he couldn't think of it, and immediately straightened out the crooked clothes of his colleagues, and took two steps forward and said: "Exactly, what do you have to say?" ”

The woman stepped forward slowly with a spring breeze, seeing that she was about to meet the gesture of greeting, but unexpectedly rubbed her body violently, and a dagger in her hand stabbed Qian Yuanhe distractedly!

Qian Yuanhe's foreign kung fu was already sparse, and he was drunk and confused, and he was able to react in time only with a little vigilance that he had just born, dodging to the right while reaching out his right hand and pushing it towards the opponent's wrist. The flickering dagger slashed through his tiger's mouth, and it also missed the vital point, stabbing into his left chest and abdomen in one fell swoop, almost sinking into the handle.

The rest of the eunuchs exclaimed in unison, and hurriedly rushed forward, some of them supported Qian Yuanhe, and some of them grabbed the woman. The four women all changed their previous feminine appearance, and after calmly responding to a few moves with a dagger in each hand, they withdrew together, and fled into a nearby alley.

The eunuchs present were all about twenty years old, had not experienced much of the world, and were so drunk that they could not cope with this sudden change when they were scared awake and drunk, and some shouted, "Chase after them, you must not let them run away!" Some also shouted, "Don't chase, be careful of the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" "It was a mess for a while.

Wu Feng and the other two eunuchs supported Qian Yuanhe, and saw that his injuries were gushing and bleeding, and the situation was terrifying. Wu Feng panicked: "How good is this, how good is this, who is so bold?" ”

How could an ordinary fireworks woman have the courage and ability to assassinate the overseer of Dongchang? Is this the work of the enemy country's spies, or is the one in the palace doing the trick again...... The eunuchs couldn't guess for a while, but they all vaguely realized that today's change was probably not a special case, not just this one, but just a beginning.

Qian Yuanhe gritted his teeth and ordered: "Hurry up, go into the palace quickly, and inform Niangniang!" ”

Immediately, the little eunuch agreed to leave, Wu Feng hurriedly grabbed it, and said to Qian Yuanhe: "Now that the mother is about to give birth, if this thing shocks her, then ...... Can it be done? ”

I have long been accustomed to waiting for my sister to make an idea, and this time my sister has stepped down to give birth, and the entire East Factory has been living in a proper manner, and no one is prepared to deal with this kind of change. Qian Yuanhe was stunned and had no idea, so he had to say: "Hurry up, notify the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses!" ”

They decided to hide it for the time being out of good intentions, but the concubine in the palace was destined to be unable to hide from the pure.

Qiwen was tired of the upside-down life in the morning, and deliberately endured that she didn't make up for sleep during the day, and lay down until midnight before she barely fell asleep.

"Wake up, something is wrong!"

When she woke up, she heard footsteps and noise outside the house, and Qiwen turned over and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" ”

Qin'er's face turned pale with fright: "It's Sanskrit Yinjiao...... The rebellious people of the Sanskrit Yin Sect actually broke through the Donghua Gate and broke into the palace! ”

Rioters break into the palace! Qiwen gasped for a moment. God, this kind of thing is going through this kind of thing.

At present, there are only a few masters in the palace, one is an old widow who doesn't care about things, the other is a queen who has no ability to take care of things, and she, a pregnant woman who used to be in charge of things, may give birth at any time, and the other is Concubine Ning and Feng Xuan, the two women who only know how to eat and wait for death, how to deal with this?

infected her feelings, and the fetus in her womb also shook for a while.

The autumn night is heavy, and the wide courtyard in front of Kunyu Palace is illuminated by the palace people who are walking around with lanterns in hand.

On the platform of the main hall, the queen was instructing her subordinates in an unruly manner: "You go and take two people, and then go to Jingyunmen to investigate the situation...... No, no, don't bring anyone, you go by yourself, and leave people just in case. You, go and see why the person who sent the letter to Ciqing Palace hasn't come back...... Or don't go, in case you go wrong or meet a rioter, and there is no one to ......."

The palace people, who were already panicked, were even more in a dilemma under her command, and they were in a mess.

Seeing Qiwen walking up to His Majesty Dan with her skirt, the queen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What are you doing when you come out?" Rest in your room, there is me here. At the moment, the rebels are blocked outside the Jingyun Gate, and they can't attack for a while......"

Qiwen forcibly suppressed her anxiety, so she finally didn't yell at her face. Between Jingyun Gate and here, there is only the Jinghe Gate in front of her, and now the door is wide open, and the palace maids and eunuchs are in and out unimpeded, and there is no order, and let her go back to the East Side Hall to hide Qingjing? That's even more stupid than an ostrich with its head □□ sand!

"You come with me!" Qiwen directly pulled the queen's wrist and dragged her back to the east side hall where she lived.

The queen staggered: "If you have an idea, you should assign these men first." ”

"It's useless!"

When she arrived at the East Side Palace, Qiwen pulled her into the house while analyzing the shape for her: "There is no one moving around after the curfew in the entire inner city, and the chaotic people can rush through the inner city and the imperial city to enter the Donghua Gate in a row, which means that the soldiers and horses of the five cities, the Yulin Guard, and the Great Inner Guards all have their internal responses!" Since they are a cult, they must have secretly recruited the cult members when the original imperial court had not paid attention to them, and encircled those people in the yamen for their use, but they must be limited to small soldiers. Because of the fighting in the past few months, the forces of Dongchang and Jinyiwei have been divided a lot, and the rest is only enough to focus on the movements of officials, so they have not been noticed. Now maybe there are people mixed with them in this courtyard, so Jingyun Gate is absolutely unguardable, and even Jinghe Gate can't be guarded! I can't even hope that these subordinates can help us resist to the death. ”

The queen was stunned, but at the same time, she found the backbone because she heard her analysis in place, and hurriedly pulled her and asked, "What do you think should be?" ”

The palace people in the east side hall have been retired by Qiwen in advance, and at this time, only Qin'er hurried over and handed Qiwen a stack of clothes. Qiwen took it and took two of them and stuffed them to the queen: "Change this palace maid's clothes, and I'll take you out to hide for a while." ”

Seeing that the queen was still stunned, she patiently explained: "They are a cult and chaos, not an enemy army with the country, and the purpose of breaking into the palace is not to kill us all, but to take us to blackmail the emperor, or ask the emperor to let them live, or ask for other rights and interests." Although the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and Yu Linwei were caught off guard by them, most of them were still loyal to the monarch, and the emperor's soldiers and horses were not far from the capital, so they would soon get the news. As long as we can hide for a few hours, they will hopefully come back to save us. But if we fall into the hands of the rioters, they will not be able to deal with it. Therefore, the most important thing we should do is to hide ourselves and not be caught. ”

The queen was stunned and said, "That'...... I should have called Mama Song and them. ”

As she spoke, she turned around to leave, but Qiwen grabbed her and said urgently: "What do you call them to do!" Who knows which of them has already believed in a cult?! Listen to me, no one is allowed to tell me! Qin'er, quickly serve the mother to change clothes. ”

The queen glanced at Qin'er, didn't say anything more, and changed her clothes obediently. Qiwen didn't have the heart to explain more, of course, she could only make sure that the people she got along with day and night could be trusted, and she didn't have the time to confirm who the queen's personal subordinates could be reliable, at this moment, the fewer people knew their whereabouts, the safer they were.

Fortunately, she is slim, and the fetal position is back, her belly is smaller than that of ordinary women in labor, and she has changed into a palace maid costume that is two sizes larger, and has made some modifications, she looks like a fat palace maid, and it is not difficult to hide her identity at night.

After changing, Qiwen confessed to Qin'er: "Go find a private corner and hide, no matter who you know, don't come out until you hear the good news." ”

Although Qin'er didn't feel at ease to leave her, she didn't talk nonsense, nodded and said, "Take care of your mother, don't worry about me." ”

Qiwen took the queen's hand and walked through a back door through the maulle.

"Where are we hiding?" The queen asked in a whisper.

"Let's go to Ciqing Palace first and bring the queen mother." Qiwen said without looking back.

She was really organized and unorganized, and the queen sighed with a wry smile: "I really can't complain that the emperor loves you so much, you are really far beyond my reach." ”

Qiwen unconsciously paused, and keenly chewed a touch of strange feelings from this sentence, a situation that was extremely unsuitable to appear in this situation, and there was no time to deal with it. Since she didn't have time to deal with it, she had to take it vaguely, she seemed to smile bitterly as a reply, and continued to pull the queen along.

Feeling her stomach fluttering with her footsteps, Qiwen kept reassuring herself in her heart: calm down, you must be calm. Compared with the Tan King who is on the stage and reasonable, these people who are not on the stage and have been brainwashed by the cult are even more difficult to deal with, and this can be said to be the biggest crisis I have faced since I came to this world, I must deal with it calmly and ensure that I and my children are safe!
