The night wind was extremely cold, and Liu Zhao, who had just been awakened from the warm fragrance of warm jade, sat in the warm sedan chair, but still felt the biting cold. The starry sky was extremely clear in the night sky, as if to remind him of the horror of such a sleepless night.

His heart fluctuated with the ups and downs of the warm sedan chair, the nails of his fingers pressed hard into the flesh, and the pale fingers had turned blue, but he didn't feel pain. He had only felt this way on the night of his father's death, the feeling of quietly waiting for death. He was once full of anticipation of what a small life of his own creation would be like. The joy of being a first-time father often makes him nervous with a hint of happiness.

Yin Li sat in the warm sedan chair at the back, she didn't have time to dress herself up carefully, and she didn't have the energy to make herself look calm, the golden phoenix glass on her head swayed, inlaid with finely crafted jade pieces, and the spike beads fluttered frequently between her with the ups and downs of the warm sedan chair, just like her heart. She didn't have the joy she felt after the victory, she felt a kind of horror and sorrow! This kind of thing was born peacefully, and she thought that she would have to wait a long time, at least until she could adapt to this change. But she was not allowed to hesitate at all, and just when she was also dreaming that she would also be pregnant with the emperor's child, she suddenly gave birth. What if the child is his own? What if it was born like this without warning? She trembled her lips, Song Jun, what a vicious woman she is!

When Yin Xiaohe came out of the warm sedan chair, his legs were too weak to stand. Lian'er helped her up, that kind of firm look warmed her heart, smiled bitterly, and walked towards Liu Zhao.

"Let's go, let's go in!" The lights in Yu Fei's hall were bright, but they didn't expect that Empress Dowager Dou would sit in the hall. Sitting quietly, with a solemn expression, as if careless, stroking her chrysanthemum ring. This action is very familiar to Liu Zhao, whenever the queen mother thinks about something, she will stroke her ring. This is the representation. She's making up her mind.

Liu Zhao walked over, and the hall was burning with the fragrance of licorice and apricot blossoms mixed with wormwood, and the light medicinal smell was like a mist. A tulle-like gradual attack. Yin Li looked at Empress Dowager Dou nervously and gave a gentle salute.

Empress Dowager Dou didn't speak, but just looked at the hall and made a gesture to go in and have a look. Liu Zhao understood and walked quickly to the palace. Empress Dowager Dou glanced at it. Yin Xiaohe, who was at a loss, motioned for her to sit down as well.

"You seem to have just woken up from your sleep! That's how it is in this house. Nothing will necessarily happen. The mourning family thinks that you are very smart to stay out of the matter this time. Empress Dowager Dou said without being salty, and her face was so calm that she couldn't see a trace of emotion.

"The queen mother, the concubines are the same as the emperor. I was very worried about Li Meiren's affairs, but the pregnancy was related to the heir of the Celestial Empire, and Li'er didn't dare to get too close. so as not to cause trouble. Yin Li plucked up his courage and said.

"Hmm!" Empress Dowager Dou seemed to be thinking and did not answer.

At this time. Several imperial doctors and Liu Zhao walked out of the inner room, looking nervous, obviously the situation was not optimistic. "Your Majesty, how is it?" Yin Li couldn't help but stand up and asked.

Liu Zhao looked at the imperial doctor, pointed to an elderly man and asked, "You said, you were sent by me to raise a fetus for Li Meiren, what's going on, okay, I ate some food today, why did I faint with stomach pain?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know, the medicine that the mother has taken in the past few days is all watched by the minister himself, and sent to the mother in front of him, and there has been no mistake at all, this, I think the mother has eaten something else, and the fetal image is unstable, so this situation will occur."

Another imperial doctor also said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang's pulse is extremely unstable, I don't know why, there seems to be a sign of a slippery fetus." ”

"Slippery tires?" Liu Zhao felt cold all over his body, and his headache seemed to be cracking, "How can this be, it's fine during the day." ”

Empress Dowager Dou's voice rang slowly, and in the empty hall, like an ancient bell, it was like an echo beating everyone's hearts: "Zhao'er, don't be impatient, sit down and wait." If a person can wake up, it will be fine. You doctors, do your best! ”

"Whoa!" The imperial physicians hurriedly entered the apse again, but Liu Zhao couldn't sit down anyway, he paced, walking back and forth in the hall, and suddenly felt a pair of slippery little hands gripping his wrists. He was taken aback, and suddenly turned his head to look, with something inexplicable in his eyes, as if something was jumping. A small smile rose on Yin Li's lips, trance and firmness, with a strong beauty, in Liu Zhao's eyes, like a flower in early spring slowly blooming. The heart that was exhausted was strangely put down, just because of this smile, just because of the tenderness in this eye, like a dark orchid, fragrant blooming.

He sat down, with the usual firm look in his eyes, and the Empress Dowager Dou said with satisfaction: "Okay, that's it, this is what an emperor should look like!" ”

The night was deeper, and there was still no movement in the apse, Liu Zhao glanced at the Empress Dowager Dou, who was sitting still, and said: "Queen Mother, it seems that it is fine, the queen mother is not in good health, it is better to go back to the palace to rest, this night is cold, and the son is afraid that the queen mother's body will not survive." ”

Empress Dowager Dou's eyes showed a firmness that did not retreat: "Zhao'er, when you were sick when you were a child, the queen mother would always be by your side. The queen mother remembered that once you had a fever, and your whole body was like a coal, and the mourning family kept watch over you all night, wiping you with a hot and moist cloth until you had subsided from the fever. In the eyes of the mourning family, the son and daughter-in-law are children. These girls were sent to the palace and separated from their parents and relatives, it is not easy, and now when this kind of thing happens, how can the mourning family ignore it? Not to mention the grandson of the mourning family! You don't have to persuade you, the mourning family won't leave. ”

Yin Li looked at the Empress Dowager Dou in surprise, the legend says that she is a cold-blooded and stubborn woman, but today she saw her stubbornness, but she didn't see her cold-bloodedness, but she touched her heart with a strange kind of care.

The voice finally came from the inner hall, Li Xiao'e finally didn't get through, she woke up screaming, the pain in her abdomen tortured her nerves, she changed from moaning to screaming, blood flowed out from between her legs, and thick blood flowed from her lower body to the soft collapse, the pain suddenly lessened, she felt so tired, why couldn't her eyes open, how she didn't seem to wake up, her eyes were rotating. The emperor, Song Jun, the Yuan sisters, everything is turning.

"Your Majesty, the beautiful lady has slipped and has a lot of blood, I'm afraid my life is not guaranteed!" A physician ran out of the inner sanctum. Sweating profusely.

"What? Fast. Hurry up and treat, you must save Xiao'e's life, go quickly. I'm waiting! Liu Zhao stood abruptly, and the heavy loss made him barely support his body. Yin Li walked over to help him up, her eyes full of tears.

Liu Zhao leaned against the yin glass with his body, as if his breath was in pain from being cut by the cold front. It's like a tiny blade cutting. "Queen Mother, it's all over. The child was never saved. ”

Empress Dowager Dou stood up. She stroked Liu Zhao's back with her thin and tired hands, and sighed, "Zhao'er, since the matter is irreparable. Mourn thou! ”

Suddenly, seeing that the imperial doctors had all walked out of the hall, everyone's faces were sad, and Liu Zhao closed his eyes. felt tears rush out, "Your Majesty." The ministers have done their best! The beautiful lady is gone! ”

"Let's all go down!" Empress Dowager Dou calmly instructed several imperial doctors, then looked at it, and Liu Zhao, who was standing still, shook her head, "Zhao'er, this matter is ominous, the inner hall cannot be entered, and someone will help the emperor to go back to the palace to rest." Yin noble, you stay, the mourning family needs you to help take care of the aftermath. ”

"No, Queen Mother, this matter is weird, Erchen must find out the reason, I can't let Xiao'e die so inexplicably." Liu Zhao suddenly opened his eyes, he had no way to be free and easy, ignoring the causes and consequences of this matter.

Empress Dowager Dou suddenly laughed, her voice was sharp and harsh, and the nine-colored glass on her head swayed, shaking as if it was about to break, so that in the end, she coughed loudly, "Zhao'er, this palace is the battlefield, everything is supreme and honorable, but it is nothing." Have you thought about it? What harms Li Xiao'e is that you accompany you day and night, and the women who are on a blind date with you, they may or may not be murderers, if you want to investigate, you may be even more sad. Are you willing? Watching another woman, or another group of women fall? The queen mother is a person who has come over, I tell you not to check, so be it, the death is great, and the burial is thick, give an explanation to her family. ”

"But the queen mother, did Xiao'e die like this? If the sons and daughters don't set an example, I'm afraid that there will be such things in the harem. The queen mother, the sons must be checked! Liu Zhao's voice sounded faintly, with a painful trill, but it was extremely firm.

"Then so be it!" Empress Dowager Dou turned around and walked outside the hall, "The queen mother is old, I can't control your thoughts, Yin'er, let's go, go back to the forbidden place, in this palace, the mourning family is redundant." In an instant, her back seemed to be countless times older, and Liu Zhao's heart ached slightly.

Tears poured out again, and he sat down and hugged his shoulders, "Xiao'e! Xiao'e, I'm sorry for you! ”

Yin Li's fear at the moment overshadowed everything, she didn't expect things to unfold to such an uncontrollable point, two lives, one corpse and two lives. She can't remember what Li Xiao'e looks like, she seems to be thin and very delicate, she is an insider, although it is not her hand. What would happen if the emperor found out? No, no, you must not let the emperor know, otherwise everything will be over, but what about Song Jun, will she confess herself? Anyone who comes here during the day may be the murderer, and she is also under suspicion.

She hasn't thought about it yet, what if she can't think about it? This time she really panicked, "Emperor, Emperor!" She grabbed Liu Zhao's arm and wiped away the tears on his face for him, maybe at this moment, her gentleness was the last medicine.

The moonlight shone into the temple, and the light of the lamps was kneaded together, and flowed like silver to the ground. Several palace people walked out of the inner hall, knelt down in front of Liu Zhao in unison, and cried: "Your Majesty, although the beauty has always been happy, it has never happened, but after the Song nobles came, they brought some maids, nobles, and palace people to make trouble for a while, and then something happened." Please ask the emperor to investigate, you must give the beauty an explanation, the beauty can't die so unclear. ”

Liu Zhao nodded and said, "Get up, I'll find out!" ”

When Yin Li heard Song Jun's name, her whole body trembled, and she felt that Liu Zhao held her hand and rubbed it vigorously, the tenderness in her heart was slowly disintegrating, and she deeply regretted that she was with Song Jun. Tears fell silently, and she cried in fright. (To be continued)
