"Mother, what should I do? The emperor has already begun to inquire about all the people who have been to Chaoxia Palace today. The slave and maid are afraid that sooner or later they will find out about the slave and maid. ”

"What are you panicking about? There are more people in Chaoxia Palace today, even if I find you, it's not so fast. Besides, as you said, no one saw you by the lake at that time. ”

"Yes, but the slave was very nervous at the time, and immediately left after pushing the little prince, and she didn't dare to look carefully, and she couldn't be sure if anyone saw it."

"In this case, you might as well go directly to the emperor to confess this matter."

"Niangniang, isn't this a way to let the slave and maid jump into the fire pit by themselves?"

"You go according to the meaning of the palace, and when you see the emperor, you will say that your master has been pressed by Concubine Hui because he is not favored, and he has complained from time to time in the palace.

"No wonder, Niangniang pulled my master to speak that day, it turned out to be for - but Niangniang, will the emperor believe such words? What if the emperor wants to give death to the slaves and maids? ”

"Don't worry, the emperor will not kill innocents indiscriminately, besides, if you expose it meritoriously, when the time comes, the palace will send you to serve by the side of the palace, what do you think?"

"Yes, everything is at the behest of the mother. The slave and maid retired. ”

Guan Ju Palace.

"Sister, your body is not well yet, why don't you lie down and rest?" Li Jieyu saw Chu Xiangwan sitting on the bed reading a book, and persuaded softly.

"It's okay, my body is fine, why did my sister come over so late?" Fengchun left Yutang Palace, and Li Jieyu came straight to Guanju Palace.

"Don't worry about my sister, I want to come and have a look." Li Jieyu carefully folded the quilt for Chu Xiangwan.

"Let my sister worry, it's cold and the night is cold, my sister should go back early." Chu Xiangwan smiled softly.

"My sister always thinks about others like this, so she will jump into the lake desperately to save people, you don't know, the emperor knows that you are gone, and his face turned white when he was anxious. Later, when I came to the lake, I wasn't sure if you fell into the lake, so I jumped down to find you despite the cold, and returned to Guan Ju Palace to bleed to make medicine for you. My sister has such a pamper, which is really enviable. Li Jieyu was already in tears after speaking, in fact, she still had something to say: "If it were me, I would definitely cherish the emperor's sincerity more than sister." ”

"The emperor's affection, I can't repay it, what I can do now is to keep this child well and let him come to this world safely." Chu Xiangwan touched his stomach, thinking of what happened today, he also felt a little afraid. Hearing from others that Huangfu Jingwen was kind to him, Chu Xiangwan felt that even if he deliberately ignored it, some things still couldn't cover up the past.

"Miss, the emperor is here." Qian'er came in to report.

"Then my sister will retire first, and I will come to see my sister another day." Li Jieyu got up and retired.

"Sister, why don't you sit down again." Chu Xiangwan actually wanted to let Li Jieyu have more opportunities to get along with Huangfu Jingwen.

"Xiang Wan, how is your body?" As soon as Huangfu Jingwen entered the door, he cared about Chu Xiangwan's body, and he didn't notice that there was a Li Jieyu in the hall at all.

"The concubines see the emperor." Li Jieyu knelt down and said goodbye.

"Oh, Li Jieyu is also there, let's get even." Huangfu Jingwen saw Li Jieyu at this time.

"My sister was worried about the concubine's health, so she came to visit."

"Well, Li Jieyu does have a heart for the imperial concubine, I love the imperial concubine, some people can't stand it, if there are more virtuous people like Li Jieyu who don't compete for favor and are not jealous, I can also feel at ease."

"The emperor praised it falsely." Li Jieyu's face was crimson, for the first time, Huangfu Jingwen praised her so much, which made her feel that the emperor didn't care about herself.

"It's the concubine, it's not that the emperor is always worried about the harem." Chu Xiangwan felt that almost all the troubles in the harem were caused by himself.

"Xiang Wan, how to say this, these are not your fault, don't blame yourself for things at every turn." Huangfu Jingwen gently hugged Chu Xiangwan's shoulders and comforted her.

"It's late, the concubines will retire first, and the emperor and the imperial concubines will rest early." Rather than continue to watch such a piercing picture of affection here, she would rather leave here early, so that there may be less pain in her heart.

Until Li Jieyu left Guanju Palace, Huangfu Jingwen didn't look at her again, because his whole attention at this time was focused on Chu Xiangwan.

"Li Jieyu is gentle and beautiful, the emperor should actually take care of her more." Chu Xiangwan is still fighting for Li Jieyu's opportunity.

"Xiang Wan, I only care about you and the child in your belly now, and the rest, let's talk about it later. Besides," Huangfu Jingwen raised his head and whispered, "Even if you are still unwilling to forgive me, don't rush to push me to someone else, okay?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine has no other meaning. By the way, what's going on with the emperor's hands? ”

"Didn't I tell you, but I was cut a little bit by the fragments of the bowl." Huangfu Jingwen is still perfunctory.

Chu Xiangwan looked up at Huangfu Jingwen, and after a while, she gently kissed Huangfu Jingwen's wrist wrapped in gauze, and said, "Does the emperor still want to lie to me?" If it weren't for the deep wound, would it be necessary for the imperial doctor to wrap such a thick gauze for the emperor? Qian'er has already told me that the emperor put a whole bowl of blood for me, you see, until now, the emperor's face is still a little pale. ”

"Xiang Wan, for your sake, no matter what I do, I will not hesitate. What you have in your belly is my child, and of course I, the father, must save him. ”

"But—"

"Okay, don't say it again, if you really feel guilty, promise me, don't refuse me in the future, and take good care of the children with me, okay?"

Chu Xiangwan didn't answer, but it was a long time, and she took the initiative to lean into Huangfu Jingwen's arms again, which may be a kind of acquiescence, but also a kind of touching, all in all, her no longer refusing people for thousands of miles made Huangfu Jingwen very happy.

This night, Huangfu Jingwen stayed in Guanju Palace, for Chu Xiangwan, it may be nothing, but for others, this is nothing less than bad news that makes people unable to sleep tonight. Concubine Hui was furious in the palace and smashed everything in the house, she said hatefully: "This slut, pregnant and still want to seduce the emperor, our Yuan'er was frightened and the emperor just came to visit and left, but what about her, the child is good, and she is still trying to keep the emperor, it is really a demon." Let's see, if this birth is a daughter, see what else you have to hold the bridge! ”

Li Jieyu didn't go far out of Guanju Palace, she looked back and saw that the lights in Guanju Palace went out, and waited until the lights in Guanju Palace went out, and Huangfu Jingwen didn't come out. Tears quietly slipped down her cheeks, and she murmured: "Your Majesty, even if she doesn't have you in her heart, do you want to accompany her and spoil her?" Why, can't you see the true heart of your concubine? ”
