Xiao Shunzi withdrew from the imperial study, and saw the little eunuch who had just reminded him to go in later, with a sneaky look, probably lying on the door just now and eavesdropping on the movement inside.

He stepped forward and knocked on the little eunuch's head, and said with a straight face: "Be your class well!" ”

"Yes!" The little eunuch covered the sore spot and nodded.

Seeing how much he looked as if he had been wronged with a wrinkled face, Xiao Shunzi felt that his anger of being bullied by Shen Wu'an in it just now suddenly eased a lot, so he stretched out his hand and patted his head again, and then went to arrange for Shen Wu'an to leave the palace in a comfortable mood.

In fact, the so-called arrangement was just an order, so Xiao Shunzi quickly turned back and said to Shen Wu'an: "Your Majesty, the chariots are ready, shall we set off now?" ”

Shen Wu'an raised his head from the folds piled up into a small mountain, "I thought about it for a moment just now, and I felt that I seemed to be a little too anxious, and it was getting late today, so let's wait until another day." ”

When he said this, he no longer had the excitement and excitement when he got the news just now, and he was so calm that he seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him, Xiao Shunzi couldn't help but raise his hand and scratch his head, not understanding that he was just going out for a while, how could the emperor's attitude have changed so much?

Although he was puzzled in his heart, he was not stupid enough to ask, but responded obediently: "The slave went to sue them, saying that the emperor is not out of the palace today." ”

Shen Wu'an waved his hand, "Go ahead." ”

In fact, it wasn't that Shen Wu'an was not in a hurry to pick up Qu Wurong and return to the palace, in fact, he was eager to put on his wings and fly to the Royal Zen Academy now, but he couldn't be in such a hurry, he had to hold his temper and wait for two more days.

At the beginning, he was under the persecution of the ministers of the court, and he had to send Qu Wurong to the Royal Zen Monastery to temporarily avoid the limelight, and now to take her back to the palace, he can't go alone, and he has to let those ministers who keep claiming that she is the "demon concubine of the country" willingly go to the Royal Zen Monastery to beg her back, so that after the child is born, they will not dare to make any more moths to drive her away from themselves.

With such wishful thinking, Shen Wu'an forced himself to endure for a few more days, and under his instructions, the news that Qu Wurong was pregnant with a dragon fetus soon spread throughout the government and the opposition.

This is Shen Wu'an's first prince, and naturally he has received the attention of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and they have written to ask Qu Wurong to take Qu Wurong back to the palace, which is completely different from the attitude that forced him to kill the demon concubine.

Shen Wu'an was not in a hurry, and sat on the dragon chair and said leisurely: "At the beginning, all Aiqing kept saying that the concubine was a sinner who caused chaos in the court, and forced me to kill her, why did I take her back to the palace at this time?" Aren't you afraid that she will cause trouble again for the dynasty? ”

Hearing this, all the ministers looked at each other.

Zuo Prime Minister Gu Nianqiu walked out tremblingly, arched his hand towards Shen Wu'an and said, "The emperor forgives his sins!" At the beginning, it was the ministers who believed the rumors deliberately released by the ill-intentioned people, so they mistakenly thought that the concubine Niangniang participated in the rebellion of the former prince, and now the ministers have already known that they are wrongly blaming the concubine Niangniang, so that she has suffered an injustice, and asked the emperor to apologize to the concubine Niangniang and take their mother and son back to the palace as soon as possible. ”

These words were discussed by several of their old ministers a long time ago, anyway, the person who spread those rumors is dead, and putting all the blame on him can not only get rid of his own responsibility, but also portray herself as a victim misled by rumors in front of Qu Wurong, so that she will not hold a grudge after returning to the palace and wait for an opportunity to retaliate against them.

After hearing his words, Shen Wu'an couldn't help but sneer: "Why do you want to make amends for the good things you have done?" ”

"This ......" Gu Nianqiu was speechless by him.

The reason why they dared to say this was because they saw that Shen Wu'an's feelings for Qu Wurong were not ordinary, and after learning the news that Qu Wurong was pregnant with a dragon fetus, Shen Wu'an should be the first person to rush her back to the palace, but now it seems that it is not the case.

The court was quiet for a moment, and then the right prime minister, Luo Qiancong, also walked out of the queue and stood side by side with Gu Nianqiu, "The ministers are willing to go to the Royal Zen Temple in person to make amends to the concubine, please ask the emperor for permission!" ”

As soon as he said this, the ministers were in an uproar, some agreed with his proposal, while others disagreed with him, and for a while, the originally quiet and solemn court became a lively and noisy vegetable market, where everyone expressed their opinions and tried to persuade others to accept their ideas.

Shen Wu'an didn't say anything to stop it, holding his chin and looking at the beings below as if watching a good show, until the noisy court was quiet again, he asked lightly, "How is it?" Did everyone discuss the result? ”

It was still Luo Qiancong who answered him, and it seemed that the others should have accepted what he had just said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to go to the Royal Zen Courtyard to pick up the concubine Niangniang back to the palace." ”

"Good!" Shen Wu'an nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's leave early tomorrow morning." ”

It wasn't until a long time after this incident had passed that the ministers of the court came back to their senses, they were actually calculated by Shen Wu'an silently, but at this time they didn't realize this, and when they heard this, they only secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Royal Zen Monastery.

"Miss, the news of your pregnancy has been sent out for several days, why hasn't the emperor come to take us back to the palace?" This question has been holding back in Jin Yu's heart for several days, and today he finally couldn't help but ask, "And he didn't even look at it, don't you think it's strange at all?" ”

"What's so strange about that?" Compared with her anxiousness, Qu Wurong's expression was much more bland, "It's probably because the court has something to do, so I can't get out of it for the time being." ”

Jin Yu pursed her lips in disbelief, "No matter how busy you are, I should come to see you!" ”

"He naturally came when it was time to come, what's the use of you being in a hurry here?" Qu Wurong glanced at her helplessly, "If you are idle and have nothing to do, go to those snacks in the kitchen, I seem to be hungry again." ”

Hearing her say that she was hungry, Jin Yu didn't care about complaining, and hurriedly stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

When Liangyuan came in, he happened to hear the last sentence, so he said with a smile: "Miss's appetite has been so good lately, I remember that you used to vomit when you saw food for a while, and you couldn't eat anything!" ”

"yes!" Qu Wurong also remembered the scene when he vomited in the dark, and couldn't help but touch his lower abdomen with his hand, "This child is very well-behaved, and he doesn't toss people at all." ”

While the two of them were talking, Jin Yu came back, but she came back empty-handed, and Liangyuan couldn't help but ask strangely when she saw this, "Didn't you go to get some snacks for Miss?" How did you come back empty-handed? ”

Since Qu Wurong became pregnant, all kinds of pastries were often prepared in the kitchen to fill her stomach when she was hungry, so Liangyuan didn't think that it would be because the pastries were gone, so she came back empty-handed.

"Oops, don't worry about the snacks!" Jin Yu waved his hand perfunctorily at her, "The emperor is here!" ”

Qu Wurong was slightly stunned, thinking that he was still talking to Jin Yu just now, he didn't come to see him for several days, and he actually came over at this time? Could it be that you heard Jin Yu's chatter?

"What about the others?"

Jin Yu stretched out his finger and pointed to the outside of the courtyard, and before a few people went out to greet him, he saw Shen Wu'an push open the courtyard door and walk in, "I said that this girl ran away when she saw me, it turned out that she came back to report to you." ”

Hearing his words, Qu Wurong glanced at Jin Yu amusedly, "She was still talking about you just now!" ”

"Oh?" Shen Wu'an raised his eyebrows slightly, and also looked at Jin Yu who was standing on the side, "What are you talking about me?" ”

Jin Yu, who was asked, waved his hand again and again, "It's nothing, it's nothing." After speaking, he also threw a pleading look at Qu Wurong, begging her not to tell Shen Wu'an what she just said, Qu Wurong received her plea for mercy, so he shifted the topic, "Why did you come here at this time?" Haven't the DPRK and China been busy lately? ”

"Busy, not busy." Shen Wu'an shook his head gently, "However, it is true that there is something to deal with. ”

He didn't say what he wanted to deal with, Qu Wurong didn't ask, pulled him to the house, and said as he walked: "If you have something to do, just go and get busy, don't worry about me, I'm fine here." As he spoke, he put his hand on his lower abdomen and added, "The child is also fine." ”

Hearing her take the initiative to mention the child, Shen Wuan suddenly remembered some of the past, "I remember that when you were pregnant with a child before, you vomited so much that you couldn't eat anything, what about now?" Is it still the same as before? ”

His tone was full of worry, Qu Wurong was both moved and happy, "No, he is very well-behaved." ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Miss's appetite is good!" Liang Yuan said as she put the plate with the snack in her hand in Qu Wurong's hand, which she had just gone to the kitchen to get, "Not only can you eat anything, but you are always yelling that you are hungry!" ”

Qu Wurong picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth, nodding, "Maybe it's because the food in this Zen courtyard is light, but this time there is not much joy." ”

"After I go back, I'll have snacks ready for you in the imperial dining room at any time, just in case." Seeing that there was some white dim sum powder on her mouth, Shen Wu'an raised his hand and gently wiped it off for her, and said.

Qu Wurong paused with the second piece of snack, "Are you going back?" ”

"What? Don't you want to go back to the palace with me? Her reaction surprised Shen Wu'an, he thought that after being separated for so long, Qu Wurong would be as eager to return to the other party as he was.

"Not really!" Qu Wurong waved his hand, signaling that he was thinking too much, "You also know what I came here for, if I go back like this, wouldn't it be good?" ”

Hearing that she was worried about this matter, Shen Wuan replied with a smile: "No, I have already arranged it." ”

"Scheduled?" Qu Wurong looked at him suspiciously, "How did you arrange it?" ”

"You'll find out if you come out with me." Shen Wu'an, who was questioned, felt very hurt, and didn't explain anything more, but directly led her out of the Royal Zen Academy.

At this time, outside the Royal Zen Temple, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty stood there in two columns, and when they saw them coming out, they knelt down and saluted, "Wait for the emperor to see!" See the concubine! ”
