In fact, Liu Tan is smart in doing this, he wants to use Yu Shu, but he sells Xue Rui's favor, but the Xue family and Jingwangfu are in the same boat, and Xue Rui's favor is also sold for nothing.

Xue Rui thought clearly, glanced at Liu Tan calmly, and turned his head to ask Xue Lingnan: "What does grandfather think it should be?" ”

Xue Lingnan said: "The affairs of the harem, I and other foreign ministers should not interfere, but the birth in your aunt's womb is really important, and it is not to be missed." ”

He didn't finish his words, but Xue Rui took out a little deep meaning from his eyes, and his heart suddenly suddenly, and he couldn't help but think - now there are many concubines in the harem, and the concubine is on the head, and there is only one queen, if the concubine gives birth smoothly, the credit will be even more obvious, once something goes wrong with the queen at this time, then a queen who has no children under her knees and has a loss of virtue will be impeached by the imperial history.

When the queen's position is vacant, who of those women in the harem is qualified to go further?

Xue Rui pursed his lips lightly, looking at Liu Tanshang's green face, guessing that he must not have thought of this layer, otherwise he would have been unable to sit still at this time, how could he have the heart to use him.

"Grandfather, rest assured." Faced with this, Xue Rui had no choice but to respond.

Xue Lingnan glanced at him with satisfaction, turned his head and said to Liu Tan: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the day of the prince's wedding, and I just hope for a consummation." ”

Liu Tan smiled and said, "When the time comes, my grandfather will definitely drink a few more glasses of his grandson's happy wine." ”

Xue Rui watched the grandfather and grandson talking off-topic, one was kind and pleasant, and the other was close, it was completely a scene of harmony between children and grandchildren, but he was like an outsider. Stand by and watch.

***

Yu Shu didn't sleep deeply, when she heard a little movement in the room, she could feel someone sitting in front of her with her eyes closed, she was lying flat, turned on her side, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xue Rui sitting on a chair a foot away from her, and a dim gauze lamp was lit under the window not far away, just a few inches of light, she could barely see people clearly.

"Woke up?"

"Hmm." Yu Shu sat up slowly, tucking his sleepy hair behind his ears. Reach for the teacup on the table.

Xue Rui picked up the teapot one step ahead of her. I refilled half of the cup in her hand.

Yu Shu quenched his thirst before he raised his head to look at him, "What's going on at home?" ”

Xue Rui: "The concubine is indeed pregnant. ”

Yu Shu sat up straight all of a sudden, his eyes widening: "Really? ”

Xue Rui nodded.

Yu Shu is happy first. Then I noticed that he didn't seem to have a smile on his face. Just ask, "Why are you unhappy?" ”

Xue Rui asked her in turn, "Why are you so happy?" ”

"That's a good thing." Yu Shu explained to him as a matter of course: "As soon as I am a female official in the Kunling Bureau, which lady in the palace is favored, good or bad will affect me. The queen and several concubines, I am most optimistic about the concubine, and now that she has Longen, of course I am happy to see it; Well, I don't want to see King Ning gain power, of course, it is good for the Nine Emperor Princes to gain power. ”

Listening to her truth, Xue Rui sighed: "You are confessing." ”

Yu Shu stretched out his hand and poked him: "It's your turn to say, why are you upset?" ”

Xue Rui could have turned around and told her Liu Tan's entrustment, first explained his embarrassment and last resort, and asked her not to feel that he had the intention of taking care of things for her, but he didn't, he told her equally bluntly:

"I want you to help calculate the good fortune for the concubine and keep the child in her womb safe."

People outside think that she can know life and death, only he knows her details, what she is really good at is judging blessings and misfortunes. Xue Rui is more confident than Liu Tan, as long as she is willing to bother in this matter, the fetus in the concubine's womb will be foolproof.

Moreover, this is a shortcut, a shortcut that can free him from the heavy shackles of the Xue family.

Yu Shu thought for a moment, and then agreed: "Yes, I want to know the birthday of Concubine Lu Dao, and I will calculate for her from tomorrow until she gives birth safely." ”

She agreed so happily, Xue Rui didn't feel relaxed, but said in a deep voice: "You have thought clearly, participating in this matter is not the same as you promised the concubine to do something in the Kun Book." ”

Yu Shu couldn't understand what he said, in her opinion, these two things were helping Xue Guifei, what difference could there be.

Xue Rui patiently explained to her: "Once you start asking about the murder for the concubine and find out that there is a traitor plotting against her, I want you to inform me of the details as soon as possible - think about it now, who is the most unwilling to see the concubine give birth safely?" ”

"King Ning?" The first thing that Yu Shu thought of was the two-faced dog prince.

"If you can know in advance when King Daoning will start, do you think you can make it a little bit better for him to steal chickens and rice?"

Yu Shu's eyes lit up, which meant that King Ning sent someone to harm the concubine, and after the matter was revealed, the emperor cut off the title in anger and drove him out of the capital.

"Three years ago, King Ning framed the tenth princess, because there is no evidence, it is difficult to investigate the passage of time, if I can catch King Ning this time, I will not let it go." Xue Rui said in a low voice, and then asked her:

"Think again, who else?"

“．．． Empress? ”

"Yes, there is also the queen," Xue Rui said slowly, "The queen has been in charge of the six palaces for more than ten years, her knees are empty, and there is a law on the seventh, 'A woman is fifty years old and has no children, but she can be a long-term woman, if she is not virtuous, she should be abandoned,' the queen's mother is forty years old this year, and she is older than the emperor, it is difficult to have a child, nearly fifty years, seeing that the concubine is pregnant, she is more anxious than anyone else, if she starts to harm the dragon species, this matter is exposed, and she will be impeached——"

"Think about it again, if the queen is deposed, which lady is the emperor most likely to promote?"

"Concubine," Yu Shu swallowed his saliva, in this way, Liu Tan would not directly become the prince! So what are the others fighting for, what are they fighting about?

"So, no matter which of them will harm the concubine, they can shake the entire court situation, do you know now whether you are involved in this matter, what does it mean? It's okay if it succeeds, but if it fails, can you afford the consequences? ”

After listening to Xue Rui's explanation, Yu Shu realized that she still thought too simply, if she promised him to calculate the blessings and misfortunes for the concubine, then she would be completely on the "thief ship", and it would be difficult to get down.

There are only two ends in the past when the failure to seize the heir is dead, or life is better than death.

This made her hesitate a little again, compared to King Ning as the crown prince, she was of course more willing to see Liu Tan as the prince, otherwise she would not willingly help Xue Guifei change the Kun book, not to bird the threats and temptations of Queen Xia and Concubine Shu.

However, she has not forgotten the starting point of everything she did, all to get rid of the death of the life-breaker, all to save her life, but who knows how long it will take for Liu Tan to sit on the throne after becoming the crown prince?

It is difficult to guarantee that during this period, whether the emperor will deal with her, whether Liu Tan will become the crown prince, and whether she will be the emperor in the future, in the final analysis, cannot decide whether she can save her life.

Is it necessary for her to take a risk for something unnecessary?

This question will definitely be considered by others for a few days, but for Yu Shu, who often plays with probability and applauds, it is just a sip of tea.

"Big brother doesn't have to scare me, I did this, come and let us high-five the agreement, whoever wants to regret it is a bastard."

One of her principles of life - instead of sitting still, it is better to take the initiative.

What's more, she has confidence in Xue Rui, she can reveal the mastermind behind the scenes who is going to be unfavorable to the concubine, and Xue Rui will definitely be able to make them show their original form.

Yu Shu was still sitting on the soft couch at this time, his hair that had just woken up was loose and unkempt, a handful of it was on the top of his head, and he looked stupid when he raised his slap and said foul words, but it couldn't be more cute in Xue Rui's eyes.

"Smack."

Xue Rui raised his hand, patted her palm, and made a crisp sound, but did not retreat, but took her entire palm, leaned in front of her, pecked on the back of her hot hand, and said with a dumb smile:

"I can't bear you to be a little king, when you regret it, we won't do it." (To be continued......)
