"Does the emperor want to eat a snack?" I took off the crown of pearls on Liu Ying's hair, and he closed his eyes tightly and shook his head slowly, not knowing whether he was responding to me or thinking otherwise.

When Liu Ying is in the worst mood every day, it is when she is in the lower court, I can almost imagine the regent of Empress Lu controlling Liu Ying, she holds her son in the palm of her hand, paving the way for his life, but she doesn't know that she is about to strangle the son in her hand.

I lit incense, poured a cup of tea, rubbed the sides of his forehead for him, and didn't dare to say anything more. I don't know how long Liu Ying can last on the throne, all I can do is just a wife's concern for her husband, relieve his fatigue, and listen to his complaints.

No matter what others say about Liu Ying, incompetent, mediocre, and even a wretch, he is perfect in my heart.

Liu Ying is kind, sincere, gentle, and considerate, and he is the man I have thought of for a lifetime.

"Your Majesty, if you're tired, take a break, and the concubine will accompany you."

He squinted and leaned back on the chair, I don't know if he had fallen asleep, I buried my head in his neck, and I could smell the peculiar smell of medicine on his body, which made me feel very reassured. It wasn't until he reached out his not-so-warm palm and stroked my bun that I realized he wasn't sleeping.

He whispered in my ear, "If I ...... If you and I were just an ordinary couple, and we lived in a modest house and even ate leftovers, would you be willing? Will you still be as happy as you are now? ……”

My warm tears slipped down my cheeks and spilled on the placket of his clothes, and I choked up on these words so that I couldn't control myself, I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his thin lips, and replied firmly: "No matter where my husband goes, I will live and die with me, and I will never abandon you!" ”

He put his arms around me, and it was a tight clinging that he had never been able to do before: "I just hope that there is enough one person by my side!" ”

Yes, he finally said what I had been wanting to ask for. Liu Ying must be a tender emperor who will not appear for thousands of years, and from that moment, I swore in my heart that he was my man, and no one could hurt him or let me leave him!

But in the emperor's family, after all, he can't keep himself out of the matter, let alone think about any free and peaceful days. Soon after, I became pregnant.

And what shocked me even more was that two days later, the good news that the queen had a son also came out of the Jiaofang Palace.

Emperor Hui five years, January month.

I touched my lower abdomen, which had not yet bulged, and the teacup in my hand was almost crushed by me, Liu Ying also looked the same as me, we were silent for a long time, and finally I broke the silence.

"Your Majesty, are you sure you haven't touched the queen?"

His dim eyes were a little shocked, and he raised his head and looked at me in disbelief: "With what you know about me, I will go to touch Shujun?" ”

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, with some apologies: "Concubine, concubine is just too shocked." ”

That's right, Zhang Yan is just over fourteen years old this year, how could a child who doesn't even have a monthly letter get pregnant. Liu Yingliang and I looked at each other at the same time after a long time, and we both had a bad premonition in our hearts.

There is only one possibility, Lu Pheasant's conspiracy.

All the decorations in Yifeng Palace are mainly dark colors, and they look extremely low-key. Lu Pheasant sat on the cushion of the main hall, her eyes closed, enjoying the incense burner floating with the dark fragrance on the desk, she often did this, and she did not say a word for a long time.

Even if I sat with Zhang Yan and looked embarrassed, she didn't move, as if she was observing, listening, and guessing what I was going to say and how she was going to deal with it.

I'm not Lu Pheasant, I don't have the same thoughtfulness as her, and I'm as afraid of her as everyone else, even knowing that Zhang Yan who is sitting opposite her doesn't have a dragon in her belly, I can only pretend to be a fool and act with her.

It's just that I didn't expect that Zhang Yan would become like she didn't know me. She was dressed in a red phoenix robe, her hands folded on her legs, and she looked at me with a look of indifference and composure that I had never seen before.

Shujun, what did they do to you? Shujun, why do you want to compromise with them? Shujun, do you know that you are saddled with an eternal notoriety? Shujun, please turn back to the girl I knew......

I looked at her with some tears, but I didn't get any response from her.

"The queen and Chang Liangren are pregnant with the dragon seed at the same time, which is naturally a rare happy event in the harem, and the mourning family has ordered that the good parts will be sent to the Jiaofang Hall and the Zhaoyang Hall in the past few months, and you can raise the fetus with peace of mind."

She spoke slowly, looking at me through her long, narrow squints.

I asked, "Zhaoyang Palace?" ”

Lu Pheasant nodded and smiled at me: "The mourning family has already discussed with the emperor, you have the merit of conceiving a dragon son, and you have promoted your position from a good person to a beauty, and the Zhaoyang Palace in the west is your bedroom." ”

"No, thank you Empress Dowager."

I knelt down to thank Shane, my face buried between my hands was uneasy and terrified, and I couldn't guess what Lu Pheasant thought of me. I didn't notice at the time that she looked down at me with disgust and hatred, and a fierce desire to get rid of me.

"In the future, you must carefully check everything you eat, wear, and use in this palace, as long as there is a problem with anything, no matter who the culprit is, this palace will definitely be the first to kill you."

"No, the slave must take care of the mother with all her heart!"

The palace maid beside me has been with me for a while, but I can't be completely reassured. After all, I am Liu Ying's real flesh and blood in my belly, no matter what tricks Lu Pheasant is playing with Zhang Yan, I can't let the child have an accident.

Liu Ying was obviously said by Lu Pheasant, he seemed very relaxed, he didn't have any worries when he accompanied me every day, when I asked him, he just said: "Maybe I and you have too many hearts, the queen mother told me that she is looking forward to the birth of this grandson, and has thought about a lot of names, I think, the queen mother will not do anything to you, maybe she is also changing." ”

I smiled, but didn't answer. Liu Ying is simple, but I am worried. And I don't think my worries are unnecessary.

Lu Pheasant used to cut the grass and eradicate the roots of the harem concubines, and the second day after receiving the emperor's blessing, they were all watered with red flowers. The calmer Lu Pheasant is now, the bigger her conspiracy becomes.

The child in Zhang Yan's belly must be fake, this is the guise of Lu Pheasant and Princess Lu Yuan. So what is their real purpose?

I really can't guess, although I didn't show it in front of Liu Ying, I always tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep. After all, I didn't grow up in the family of emperors, so I can't guess their plot for power.

I can only smile at Liu Ying, who cares for me every day, caressing my belly that is bulging day by day, waiting for the day of delivery.

"Queen Mother, why do you only see a belly, but there is no swelling elsewhere, it really makes the concubines envious."
