"Did anyone bring it?" The Queen Mother saw Mama Li enter the main hall alone and asked anxiously.

"Slave damned, the imperial concubine has returned to Guanju Palace." Mama Li knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.

"Rubbish! You can't bring back a pregnant woman, so what's the use of you? The Queen Mother's face instantly became hideous and distorted, and in a fit of anger, everything on the table was swept to the ground.

"The Queen Mother is angry! It's not that the slave maid is ineffective, but Princess Zhuang Hua appeared halfway and took the imperial concubine away. Mama Li knelt on the ground and didn't dare to come out.

"What? How could she be there? ”

"It happened that the imperial concubine excused herself and asked the princess to send her back. The slave did not dare to stop it, so she could only let it go. ”

"Zhuang Hua stayed away from the harem after getting married, but I didn't expect to ruin the mourning family as soon as I came back, what a bastard!" The Queen Mother didn't expect to kill Cheng Cheng halfway, Princess Zhuanghua was the eldest daughter of the first emperor, and she also had to give a few thin noodles. But Chu Xiangwan saw something that she shouldn't see, and she had to do it as soon as possible.

"Queen Mother, please listen to the slave." Mama Li persuaded and explained, "Although the imperial concubine knows the queen mother and ・・・・・・, the slave and maid guess that she does not dare to act rashly for the time being, and the matter is serious, and she also has to weigh the consequences of saying this." ”

"You have a point, get up." The Queen Mother thought about Mama Li's words carefully, and felt that this matter could not be stabbed out for a while, but she had to be fast, Chu Xiangwan already had her handle, leaving her was always a disaster, and it had to be solved as soon as possible, and when she gave birth, I am afraid it was the best opportunity. But the Queen Mother suddenly thought of something: "Why did Chu Xiangwan appear in Cihe Palace tonight?" ”

"The slave maid doesn't know, just now the slave asked the guards of the Cihe Palace, and they said that it was brought in by Huixin, who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping the queen mother's bedroom." Mama Li is worthy of being the right-hand man who has been with the Queen Mother for many years, and she does things neatly.

"The mourning family did not summon Chu Xiangwan and brought that Huixin over, and the mourning family wanted to interrogate him to see who dared to play tricks under the nose of the mourning family."

"Back to the Queen Mother, the slave has already looked for that Huixin, but the slave who was in the same room with him said that he had not seen Huixin return to the house." Mama Li's face was very bad, and she also realized that there were other people doing ghosts in this matter.

"Okay, I'm afraid this little eunuch can't see the sun tomorrow. It's a good move to invite you into the urn, this is to get rid of Chu Xiangwan immediately by the hand of the mourning family, and this person will not let go of the mourning family, but the top priority is to remove the scourge of Chu Xiangwan. ”

"What is the Queen Mother's plan?" Mama Li looked up and asked.

At this time, the move is too conspicuous, but it arouses suspicion, and when she gives birth to a child, the mourning family will make her disappear into this palace forever. You remember, you must always pay attention to Chu Xiangwan's movements there. Also," the queen mother's hand tightly grasped the pineapple wood carved armrest on the chair, "Dispose of that little Xunzi to the mourning family, so that even if Chu Xiangwan denounces it in front of the emperor, there is no proof of death." ”

"Yes." Mama Li lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, she had followed the Queen Mother for so many years, and she already knew the Queen Mother's ruthless methods.

In the Guan Ju Palace, after the princess and the concubine left, Huangfu Jingwen also stayed here, he felt that Chu Xiangwan's face looked very bad, just now the imperial sister was inconvenient for him to ask, and at this moment he finally asked: "Xiangwan, what is the matter with the queen mother summoning you at night?" Since you returned to the palace, your face has not looked very good, has something happened in the mother's harem? ”

"The emperor was too worried, and there was nothing to do. The concubine feels tired, so it's better to rest early. Chu Xiangwan didn't want to say much, she couldn't say anything about the Queen Mother, after all, once this matter was exported, I am afraid that there would be a big mess in the front and harem.

Huangfu Jingwen didn't ask any more, he knew Chu Xiangwan's temperament, and the people next to her who didn't want to say anything couldn't ask anyway, since nothing happened, then he didn't need to get to the bottom of it.

Chu Xiangwan kept pretending to be asleep, but in fact, her heart was turned upside down, and she couldn't sleep at all. She knew that the Queen Mother had such a major secret, how could the Queen Mother let her go, but who pretended to send a decree to her to Guanju Palace tonight? There are many enemies in the palace, and everyone has the possibility of framing her, I am afraid that the Queen Mother is just a chess piece in this game of chess, and the purpose is just to make her and the Queen Mother have a deeper grudge and fight more fiercely. Chu Xiangwan tossed and turned on the bed, her heart was puzzled, she was burning inside, she gradually felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and her stomach began to ache for a while.

"It hurts!" Hearing this shout, Huangfu Jingwen opened his eyes suddenly, and in the darkness he immediately got up, held Chu Xiangwan's hand and said, "Xiangwan, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine's stomach hurts!"

"Come on, pass on the imperial doctor!" Huangfu Jingwen touched Chu Xiangwan's forehead, it was full of sweat, and he was also anxious.

Qian'er came in to light the candle and saw that Chu Xiangwan's face was so painful that there was no trace of blood.

"Child, the child is about to be born!" Chu Xiangwan leaned on Huangfu Jingwen's arms and said weakly.

"Really?" Huangfu Jingwen hugged Chu Xiangwan excitedly and nervously, not knowing what to do. He shouted to Ma Hui outside the hall again: "What about the imperial doctor, why hasn't he come yet?" ”

"Weichen see the emperor." When the imperial physician arrived, the Guan Ju Palace was already in chaos, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt down to the emperor and asked for peace.

"When is it, get up and show the imperial concubine." Huangfu Jingwen didn't have time to detain these false courtesies.

"Yes, yes, yes." The imperial physician stepped forward to check Chu Xiangwan's pulse, bowed his head and replied: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is about to give birth, Weichen wants to let the medical girl come in to deliver the imperial concubine, the bloody atmosphere in the delivery room should not be contaminated, please wait outside the palace." ”

"What nonsense, the imperial concubine is in pain like this, how can I leave? You let them just deliver the baby. ”

"Your Majesty, this must not be! There will be a bloody disaster when entering the delivery room, if the Queen Mother knows, a hundred heads of the slave will not be enough to cut off. Ma Hui persuaded beside him that he did not dare to disobey the rules of his ancestors.

"Shut up, if you talk nonsense, I'll cut off your head right now." Huangfu Jingwen made up his mind to stay by Chu Xiangwan's side early in the morning, saying that he was unwilling to leave.

"Your Majesty, please go out, this is not in line with the rules of the ancestors." Chu Xiangwan spoke weakly and intermittently.

"Xiang Wan, I don't have anything taboo, as long as I watch you give birth safely."

"If the emperor delays any longer, the concubines will really not be able to give birth safely, and having the emperor here will only make the imperial doctors and medical women even more panicked." Chu Xiangwan's lips were pale and dry, and he laboriously spat out every word.

"Why are you still so stubborn at this time?" Huangfu Jingwen looked at Chu Xiangwan's eyes, and didn't dare to drag it out any longer, he flattened Chu Xiangwan on the bed, "I promise you, but I will wait outside the house until you give birth to our child successfully." After a pause, Huangfu Jingwen said again: "Listen to the people of the Imperial Hospital, the imperial concubine and the child will be safe, if something goes wrong, you know the consequences!" ”
