Dou Lianyi's scalp tightened, his back was cold, listening to the queen mother's meaning, this matter was no accident, and the object of suspicion was himself.

"Wu'er killed the prince, the crime is unforgivable, but when it comes to saying that there is someone behind it, the son doesn't think so." Although this child is not what he wants, but in the end, it is his own flesh and blood, and the pain of losing a child is still clearly audible in his voice.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoren sat on the mahogany broad-backed chair, slapped the chair back when she heard the words, and asked sharply: "Emperor, do you still want to defend this woman until now?" It's your own son who died. ”

"Queen Mother." A person rushed out from the inside, knelt at the feet of the Queen Mother, raised his face, and everyone couldn't help but "ah", is that still a face, swollen like a pig's head, not to mention, it is also covered with large and small red and swollen lumps, it is simply miserable, but seeing her tears: "Queen Mother, the slave maid just saw it, it is a prince, the eyes, nose, mouth, small arms and legs are all grown, that is your own grandson, can you bear the prince to die without turning a blind eye?" ”

After saying this, everyone couldn't stop nodding, and the Queen Mother was even more grief-stricken when she heard that he was a prince and had been formed, "The emperor and grandson of the mourning family, you are gone." ”

"Queen Mother, don't be too sad, the emperor and grandson will still have it." Xuan Lili held back his grief and stepped forward to comfort him.

Empress Dowager Xiaoren's eyes widened, "Do you mean that this imperial grandson let him die in vain?" ”

"Of course not, come on, drag Wu'er down......"

"Your Majesty, the concubines feel that something is wrong, ask the emperor to learn from it!" Dou Lianyi knew that his murderous intent had risen, and if the holy decree was made, he would turn his knees on the spot and plead with him.

Xuan Li's face turned cold: "Concubine, you'd better see the situation clearly before speaking." The Queen Mother pointed to her every word, if he hadn't kept her, she would not have escaped the crime.

"The concubine knows that she can't argue, but she can't say anything in order to protect herself, the cat and the little eunuch mentioned by Wu'er have not been found, and it is too hasty to rush to justice, so I implore the emperor to investigate thoroughly." She pleaded.

The man's tone was angry: "Even if there is a reason, it can't change the fact that my child was hurt by her, and she must pay the price." ”

"Wu'er is unintentional." She argued urgently.

He pursed his lips and was cold: "What if you don't have a heart? Kill the prince, regardless of the circumstances. ”

Yes, how could she have forgotten that it was the noble prince of the Xuanyue Dynasty who died, unless it can be proved that Wu'er was deliberately induced by someone to cause a catastrophe, otherwise it will be impossible to escape death.

"Your Majesty, the concubines feel that this matter was planned by someone, and it is no accident."

Before the words fell, the Empress Dowager Xiaoren sneered: "It's not someone who planned it, isn't the person behind it exactly you?" Emperor, she herself admitted, what are you hesitating about, come ......"

"Queen Mother, leave this matter to your son, and my son promises to give you a satisfactory explanation." Stupid woman, people are afraid to avoid it, but she arched forward vigorously, and Xuan Lonely grabbed the front to speak, so as not to punish the Queen Mother, and it would be difficult for her to change it if she wanted to, "Come on, take Wu'er into the palace punishment department, and the concubine will be imprisoned in the Jiyue Pavilion." ”

"Your Majesty."

As soon as Dou Lianyi spoke, he was interrupted by Xuan Li's sharp voice: "Shut up, if you dare to say more, I will immediately ask for Wu'er's head." ”

“……”

Before she could argue, someone next to her pulled her sleeve, Xia Ruotong gave her a look, and persuaded her gently: "Sister, please believe that the emperor will neither kill innocents in vain, nor let the murderer go." ”

These words are neither light nor heavy, and the tone is neither soft nor hard, but it makes the queen Yuebiluo and the imperial concubine An Jingliang both slightly shocked, this woman is not simple, it seems to be an ordinary few words, but it is impossible for anyone to open the killing ring, and Wu'er's fate is temporarily saved.

An Jingliang hurriedly returned to the Zhaoyang Palace, sat on the warm couch, and his eyes burst out with murderous light: "Dou Lianyi, you are really the nemesis of this palace." "After a lot of calculations, I didn't expect such a big fork in the bones.

"Mother, please...... Ah, slaves and maids should be damned. ”

The little palace maid brought the tea, and was about to serve it to the master's hand, but she didn't want the master's hand to stretch out, the tea cup overturned, and the water was sprinkled on the high bulging abdomen, which frightened the little palace maid's knees, and she reached out to wipe her wet clothes without thinking about it.

"Bastard, where are your hands going?" An Jingliang rushed ahead, and raised his hand to slap him.

Half of the little palace maid's face suddenly swollen, and five clear fingerprints appeared, and she fell on the ground and trembled: "The slave should die, the slave should die." ”

"Don't get out of the palace yet."

When the little palace maid heard this, she crawled down like a pardon.

"Mother, what should I do?" The personal palace maid has found clean clothes to change for her, with a panicked face, when she heard the news, Lingshan was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground, the master was going to "give birth" in three months, but the baby that had been scheduled for a miscarriage was born, isn't this a human life?

An Jingliang changed his clothes, sat on the couch and stroked the pearl earrings for a long time without saying a word, suddenly, his fingers paused, and he opened his lips and ordered: "The mother who delivered the baby should not have left the palace yet, you go quickly and call her to the palace." ”

"Yes."

Lingshan had no idea, what the master said was what, and turned around immediately.

An Jingliang was the only one left in the room, she touched her big belly that was as round as a watermelon, and a sneer appeared on her lips: She is determined to win this child, and those who block the palace will not die.

After a while, Lingshan brought Wang Wenpo, a well-known midwife in the capital, who served the royal family and dignitaries.

"The grass people pay a visit to the virtuous concubine, and wish the virtuous concubine an early birth of a prince."

This Wang Wenpo has been circling around the homes of the noble princes and ministers of the heavenly family all day long, and she has already practiced sleek and sophisticated, and she will naturally say what she sees when she sees someone.

"This palace has entrusted you with auspicious words, get up and speak."

An Jingliang smiled as if he was not laughing, stood up from the couch, and opened his arms: "Yulian, take off your coat for the palace." ”

"Mother?"

Lingshan thought she had misheard.

"What, do you want this palace to say it a second time?" The voice was slightly deep, hiding dissatisfaction.

Lingshan didn't dare to slack off, and stepped forward to serve her and took off the purple palace dress covered with flowers on the outside, "Ah." A short sound came from Wang Wenpo's mouth, and her eyes suddenly widened, staring at the noblewoman's abdomen with eight points of consternation and two points of confusion.

"How so?" For a long time, Wang Wenpo muttered to herself.

An Jingliang took off the pillow and threw it aside, and looked at the mother-in-law who had not yet returned to Fulai: "It's all your own people, so there's no need to pretend in this palace, what do you say?" ”

"Niangniang, Mrs. Wang didn't see anything, don't worry, the grass people will never confide out half a word." Wang Wenpo fell to her knees with a thud, walking among the major families all the year round, she has never seen anything, there are too many things about this fake pregnancy competing for favor.

A warm smile spread from the noble woman's lips, and her voice was as soft as flowing water: "Only the dead can keep it secret." ”

Bang on the ground, Wang Wenpo fell to the ground, her hands swinging wildly, and she shouted vigorously: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, the grass people don't want to die, Niangniang spares her life." ”

"Who said it was going to kill you, Lingshan, help me up." An Jingliang frowned slightly and gestured.

Wang Wenpo stood up with Yulian's support, and glanced at her in fear: "Really, Niangniang, you won't kill the grass people?" But she still can't believe it, such a big secret, if it is herself, if it is known, she will kill people.

"Didn't you say it just now, it's all your own people, and this palace is still asking you for help, how can I be willing to kill you." Seeing that the fire was coming, An Jingliang still wanted to press it, and deliberately accentuated the tone on the word "kill".

Wang Wenpo was shocked when she heard this, and her upper teeth knocked her lower teeth and made a clanging sound: "Mother...... Mother, what do you command...... Despite the opening. ”

"That's right." An Jingliang nodded with satisfaction, turned his face and instructed the palace maid: "Go, bring five hundred taels of silver." ”

Lingshan hurriedly went to the treasury to weigh the silver taels, and in the one-foot-square tray, there were a hundred ingots of five taels and one ingot, and An Jingliang lit a pile of silver with his chin: "These are deposits, and after the matter is completed, pay another thousand taels." ”

Wang Wenpo's eyes shone greedily, one thousand five hundred taels, enough for her to find a place with a good scenery to enjoy the rest of her life, but it also has to be a life flower, right?

"Niangniang, if you don't have merit, you can't accept this silver." Knowing that this money must be difficult to take, she shirked it.

Treacherous, An Jingliang scolded in his heart, his face was cold, "You have to accept this silver, you have to accept it if you don't accept it, there is something here in this palace that you need to do, and if you do it, isn't it a credit?" ”

"Niangniang laughed, in addition to the grass people can deliver babies, others can't, how can they help Niangniang." Wang Wenpo stubbornly went around.

An Jingliang was impatient for a long time, and immediately stopped detouring: "Everyone outside knows that this palace is pregnant for seven months, but you have also seen the facts, so I want you to help find a few pregnant women outside to prepare, it is best to be born a few days in advance, choose a man, and then I will have a 'seizure' here, and I can pick up the child on top." ”

"Niangniang, pretending to be a prince is a capital crime." Wang Wenpo's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she didn't care about wiping it.

An Jingliang glanced over lightly: "Do you think you can stay out of the matter, whether you will be wiped out by the palace now, or after helping the palace do this, you will go away and fly away to eat and drink in the next life, you choose." ”

"Okay, the grass people promise to help the mother."

After a short silence in the room, Wang Wenpo gritted her teeth and responded to this errand, and she didn't have a choice, if she didn't agree, she was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to get out of this door, besides, 1,500 taels was not a small amount, and she was also moved to listen to the good days described by Concubine Xian, so she simply gambled.

"Niangniang, the queen knows that you are not pregnant, what should I do if you tell you when the time comes?" When the old woman left with the silver taels, Lingshan was still not at ease.

The resolute and vicious light flashed at the bottom of his eyes, and An Jingliang snorted: "Since this palace dares to do this, there is a way to shut her up." ”
