Ji Xiaotang came, but Queen Han did not leave.

Empress Han seemed to be in good spirits today, and when Ji Xiaotang sat down on the side, Empress Han's eyes frequently fell on Ji Xiaotang's bulging lower abdomen.

Queen Han asked Ji Xiaotang how many months she had been pregnant.

Such a question should not have been asked, because she should have been very clear about the answer. However, Ji Xiaotang did not show the slightest displeasure, but answered Queen Han's question very happily.

Empress Han began to calculate Ji Xiaotang's birth date.

“…… This child will be born in the first month of next year. Queen Han said.

“…… It stands to reason that yes. Maybe it's February, maybe sooner. The doctor said that it all depends on the situation, not necessarily. Ji Xiaotang said.

Queen Han's face changed slightly, and then she smiled again.

"Yes, the doctors are always right. I haven't produced it, it's just hearsay. ”

Queen Han's tone was very ordinary, and there was no obvious unhappiness on her face, but Ji Xiaotang was still sensitive to realize that Queen Han was too careful.

This is Queen Han's heart disease, and no one can cure it. Ji Xiaotang didn't want to explain, worried that the more he explained, the more it would be like a cover-up, so he simply changed the topic.

Fortunately, Queen Han is in a different mood now, and she does not continue to dwell on this topic.

Ji Xiaotang and Queen Han gossiped aimlessly, and Ji Xiaolian, who was sitting on the couch on the side, could occasionally interject and say a word, and her expression showed a little anxiety.

Fortunately, Ji Xiaolian was still able to cover up, and secretly glanced at Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang naturally saw Ji Xiaolian's strangeness. I guessed that she wanted to talk to herself alone. However, if Queen Han didn't want to leave by herself, Ji Xiaotang would have no reason to drive her away.

Ji Xiaotang was not in a hurry. After sitting like this for a long time, she got up and took her leave.

"I came to the palace today, I have seen the queen mother, and I have also seen Ji Guifei, the queen mother is in good health, and Ji Guifei's body is taken care of by the queen's mother, which is really no better thing. …… I was lucky enough to meet the Queen Mother. The queen is now in good health, which is a blessing for the family and the country, and I am also happy. ”

Queen Han actually couldn't sit still.

She's in better shape than she was a little better than before. But she was still very weak and couldn't sit for a long time at all, but a spirit supported her, and she came to see Ji Xiaolian almost once a day. Now he has said a lot of things to Ji Xiaotang.

Of course she does. When Ji Xiaotang entered the palace, Ji Xiaolian specially sent someone to invite him.

Ji Xiaotang is Ji Xiaolian's cousin~ sister, Ji Xiaolian is pregnant, and her emotions are inevitably unstable, so it is very reasonable to ask Ji Xiaotang, her maiden cousin~ sister, to come over and talk.

She can stop this time, but she can't stop it all the time.

And, do it. It's too deliberate, and it makes people look a little bad.

Let Ji Xiaolian and Ji Xiaotang talk in private. In fact, there is nothing, because she believes that in this harem, it is still her aunt's world, and Ji Xiaotang cannot change anything.

She also knew that Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaolian were not very close, and what Ji Xiaotang was willing to do for Ji Xiaolian was only limited.

Thinking so, Queen Han stood up and stopped Ji Xiaotang.

"I haven't seen you for many days, and I'm very kind, so I pulled you to talk more. You are here to see Concubine Ji, you sisters should be closer to each other. Xiaotang, just stay, spend more time with your cousin, and tell her about your experience. ”

Ji Xiaolian immediately echoed Queen Han's words: "What the queen said is right. Xiaotang, you can stay a little longer and stay with me. We haven't seen each other for days. ”

Ji Xiaolian looked at Ji Xiaotang, and her eyes showed a pleading look.

Ji Xiaotang thought about it and nodded.

sent Queen Han out, Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaolian came back and sat down.

Ji Xiaolian asked people to change the fragrant tea and fresh fruits, and quietly spent most of the people serving in the house.

The two of them were gossiping, and when there were only two or three people left in the room, the smile on Ji Xiaolian's face became less tense.

"Xiaotang, thank you for coming to see me!" Ji Xiaolian's tone was very sincere.

Ji Xiaotang did not speak.

Ji Xiaolian was ~ pregnant, and did not invite Master Ji or Yang, but hurriedly sent someone to call her into the palace to meet. Originally, she still thought that Ji Xiaolian's shallow eyelids and competitiveness had flareed up again, and she wanted to call her to show off her might in front of her, and show off well.

But as soon as she saw Ji Xiaolian when she entered the palace, she knew that this was not the case. And Ji Xiaolian's performance at the moment confirmed her judgment even more.

Ji Xiaolian didn't mean to show off at all, but treated her very carefully.

It seems that Ji Xiaolian is not as stupid as she seems, she must have guessed something, knowing that she is pregnant is a good thing, but in the most personal terms, it is unpredictable.

"Xiaotang, I can have today, thanks to you interceding in front of the Queen Mother. I have never forgotten and have always been grateful to you in my heart. You are not only my sister-in-law, but also my benefactor. If I can ...... one day"

Speaking of this, Ji Xiaolian paused and decided that it was better to choose a more modest and low-key statement.

"If I can get good one day in the future, I will never forget your great kindness, even this child in my womb, I will definitely miss your aunt."

Ji Xiaolian gently touched her stomach, and looked straight at Ji Xiaotang with a pair of eyes.

Although there were only three or two people serving in the house, and they were all her confidants, who could be sure of some things? Therefore, there are some words that she can't say to Ji Xiaotang clearly, so she can only use her eyes to sign.

Ji Xiaolian hopes that with Ji Xiaotang's intelligence and shrewdness, she should be able to understand the deep meaning she did not say.

Of course Ji Xiaotang understands, but he is silent.

"Xiaotang, do you remember that I went to look for you before I entered the palace." Ji Xiaolian saw that Ji Xiaotang didn't say anything, so she mentioned what happened before she entered the palace.

Ji Xiaotang nodded and said that of course she remembered.

"At that time, I said that our Ji family is not very populous. We sisters, no matter what, should support each other. Such. Only then can we go farther and climb higher, and our Ji family can prosper...... Become the first family of Daqin"

Saying this, Ji Xiaolian took a risk.

However, she had to take this risk, because she had to be sure that Ji Xiaotang completely understood what she meant.

If you want to ask which family is in the first life of Daqin now, then there is no doubt at all. Even the drooping children in the capital can say it immediately. The maiden home of the Queen Mother and the Empress, that is, Han Ge's hometown, is the first life of today's Great Qin.

The Ji family became the first life of Great Qin. Ji Xiaolian's implicit meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Ji Xiaolian wants to rely on the child in her womb to win the throne of the queen, and at the same time, she also wants to eradicate the power of the queen Han in the palace. This is already very difficult, and Ji Xiaolian can't do it with the strength of Ji Xiaolian alone.

Ji Xiaolian is now completely under the control of Empress Han. A sitting duck.

Let alone. In the harem, the person surnamed Han and holding power is not only Queen Han. Behind Queen Han is the Empress Dowager Han.

If Ji Xiaolian wants to survive and enter the Middle Palace, she not only needs the support of the Ji family, but also needs the full help of King An's Mansion.

is not sure that he will survive and will not be left by his mother and child, and he is already coveting the throne of the queen. Even the full authority of the harem, this is really what Ji Xiaolian will do!

"Xiaotang ......" saw that Ji Xiaotang had not spoken. Ji Xiaolian was a little anxious, she looked at Ji Xiaotang eagerly, her chest rose and fell between words, showing how uncalm her heart was at the moment.

Compared with Ji Xiaolian's excitement, Ji Xiaotang's calmness was even more obvious.

The calmer Ji Xiaotang was, the more anxious Ji Xiaolian became. She simply stopped caring about the people serving around her, so she moved to Ji Xiaotang's side and whispered to Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang, if you help me, I will naturally help you. Do you think that if you become Princess An and are pregnant, no one will be able to calculate you? How many people do you know who are eyeing the child in your belly? ”

Ji Xiaotang raised his eyebrows slightly.

has been pregnant for several months, and she is no longer the little woman who was a little ignorant when she first heard that she was pregnant~. Today, she is a mother entirely. If someone threatens her, she may be able to laugh it off, but if someone threatens the child in her womb, even if it is just a little, she can't bear it.

"Even if you are shrewd and capable, the prince can protect you thoroughly, and you can produce safely. After that, have you ever thought about it. If you give birth to a girl, that's fine, if you give birth to a baby boy......"

"With the power of Prince An, the Queen Mother, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will not tolerate him, and Prince Su, I am afraid and I don't want to watch your son grow up ~ ......"

"Xiaotang, only keep me and let me gain power in this palace. Our sisters, our sons, and our dearest brothers. I won't let anyone hurt your son. Only I can do that. The women of the Han family must be removed! Xiaotang, you understand, don't you? ”

Ji Xiaolian's low voice said eagerly in Ji Xiaotang's ear.

Ji Xiaotang could feel Ji Xiaolian's breath, like a poisonous whisper.

"It's time for the concubine to drink fetal pills." At this time, I heard the sound of talking outside, and then the door curtain was opened, and an old woman with a long face walked in with a tray and two big palace maids.

These three people, without Ji Xiaolian's summons, and without reporting to Ji Xiaolian at all, just walked in.

Ji Xiaolian immediately stopped, her face changed, and finally pulled out a dry smile.

Ji Xiaotang knew that it was time for her to leave.

This time, Ji Xiaolian did not stop Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang, don't go out of the palace and ...... me I forgot, come and see me more when you have time, and our sisters can talk and relieve boredom. Ji Xiaolian's eyes flashed, and she told Ji Xiaotang with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang responded with a smile, although she knew very well that she would never come to the palace often in the future.

Back at King An's Mansion, Qin Zhen was in the mansion and personally took Ji Xiaotang back to the upper room of Xuchun Hall at the second gate.

Ji Xiaotang first took off his coat, changed into a loose robe at home, and then washed up a little before sitting down beside Qin Zhen.

"What, tired?" Qin Zhen looked at Ji Xiaotang and asked with concern.

Ji Xiaotang bowed slightly: "It's a little tired." ”

Qin Zhen didn't ask, Ji Xiaotang took a sip of a cup of red date longan tea, and then slowly told Qin Zhen about his experience in the palace. She only talked about the things in the Empress Dowager Han, and didn't say much, but she talked in detail about what she saw and heard in Changchun~ Palace.

"It seems that Concubine Ji Guifei guessed that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are afraid that they are going to leave their mother and son." Qin Zhen said.

"I guessed it, she's not stupid." Ji Xiaotang said this, but his brows furrowed slightly.

"What's wrong, is there anything else?" Qin Zhen saw that Ji Xiaotang's face was different, so he asked again.

"Well, I don't know if I'm thinking too much." Ji Xiaotang seemed a little uncertain.

"Why do you say that?"

"My cousin's temperament, you don't know, prince. But I know that very well. ”

Ji Xiaolian is free and pampered, not only competitive, but also very arrogant and dustless. Such Ji Xiaolian, even if she guessed the intentions of Empress Dowager Han and Empress Han, and asked for the help of Wang Wangfu, she would not put her figure so low, let alone be so eager.

Of course, Ji Xiaolian will definitely ask her for help smartly, but she will definitely have an attitude of kindness.

"You think it's weird about that?" Qin Zhen seemed to be explaining Ji Xiaotang, "Or maybe she is finally sensible these days in the palace." Xiaotang, you also know that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and the days in the palace are not so simple. ”

Even if Ji Xiaolian has always been beautiful and smooth sailing on the surface, she must have gone through a lot of things secretly.

"What the prince said is good. But with her temperament, even if she learns to be obedient, she will not have such a earth-shaking change. Ji Xiaotang still insisted on his own judgment.

"So, what do you think is the reason for her change?" Qin Zhen asked.

"There must be something we don't know. The danger she faces is not just as simple as leaving her mother and child. Ji Xiaotang thought and said.

Qin Zhen did not answer.

Ji Xiaotang didn't notice it at first because she was thinking, but after a while, she realized that Qin Zhen's silence was a little strange.

Ji Xiaotang looked Qin Zhen up and down.

"Lord Wang, do you know something?"

"Hmm......" Qin Zhen didn't deny it, but he seemed to be very reluctant to say.

"Lord Wang......" Ji Xiaotang continued to ask.

In the end, there was no way to be questioned by Ji Xiaotang, of course, he also thought that this matter could not be hidden from Ji Xiaotang all the time, Qin Zhen was still relieved.

"It's just a suspicion, there is no solid evidence yet."

"Is there really something else!" Ji Xiaotang's heart skipped half a beat.

Qin Zhen looked left and right, Mama Cheng was serving not far away, and they all retreated very interestingly when they saw this.

Qin Zhen lowered his head, attached it to Ji Xiaotang's ear, and said a word in a low voice.

Ji Xiaotang's face turned pale for a moment. (To be continued.) )
