In the early winter, the cold wind was blowing, and the bare trees, unable to withstand the attack of the northwest wind, swayed in the cold wind, and it was just after noon, when the sun had already put away its faint light, as if it was afraid of the cold, and hid in the clouds as thick as cotton tires.

In Yixiang Palace, Concubine Wan sat on the soft couch, with a stove burning at her feet, listening to the report of Xiuzhuyu beside her, "Master, the slave maid added saffron to Ning Guiren's fetal pills, but it has been half a month, and Ning Guiren's fetus still has no movement. ”

Concubine Wan's eyes turned cold, she pondered for a moment, and wondered, "It's strange, even if Ning Guiren is too cautious, it is impossible not to take fetal pills, right?" Xiuzhu also said suspiciously, "The palace maid of the Frost Moon Pavilion came to report, but I saw with my own eyes that Ning Guiren took this fetal pill every day, and the slave maid was also very suspicious, in the past month, the slave maid has put a lot of effort into Ning Guiren's body, but Ning Guiren's fetus is not only safe, but the imperial doctor also said that the pulse is stable." ”

Concubine Wan's face looked solemn, she was puzzled for a while, she tapped the table with some annoyance, thought about this matter carefully in her mind, and said slowly, "Since this is the case, there is only one possibility, that is, Ning Guiren is not pregnant at all." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiuzhu couldn't help but be surprised, and thought carefully for a moment and said, "The Imperial Doctor went to check the pulse every day, and they are not the same person, no matter how great Ning Guiren's ability is, it is impossible to buy the entire Tai Hospital, right?" Concubine Wan's brows locked, "The problem is here, if Ning Guiren is fake pregnant, she must be doing something here, but Ning Guiren has not moved recently, and her mind is all on the baby, Xiuzhu, you go to investigate this matter thoroughly, this palace suspects that Concubine Hui must have done something here." Xiuzhu hurriedly responded, trotted and pushed the door away.

At this time, in the dormitory of Fengzhu Palace, a small stove has been lit, Qin Yuan sat on the side with Mu Xuan in her arms, and the dyed frost walked in from outside at this time, shivering slightly, and then walked to Qin Yuan's side and bowed slightly, "Master, this winter is coming in a hurry, I'm afraid that it will snow in a few days, and the slave will go to the Internal Affairs Office to get some charcoal." ”

Qin Yuan shook her head slowly, handed Mu Xuan to Yuru beside her, and then said slowly, "Now that all palaces are receiving charcoal, this palace is a noble concubine, assisting the queen to assist the sixth palace, how can it be favoritism?" Let's wait until it's colder, when the queen orders more charcoal. ”

Dye Frost then bowed down, and then Zhang Dehai on the side said, "It has been gloomy for the past few days, and it must have snowed, because the emperor is suffering from cough disease, the imperial doctor wants the emperor to pay more attention to the dragon body, and the slave has asked Lan Si to send some cough and phlegm food to the emperor every day." Qin Yuan then nodded with satisfaction, "Zhang Dehai has a heart, how can you take care of Ning Guiren?" ”

"Master, you can rest assured, the slaves have been staring at this matter for a month, and now Ning Guiren is the best among the concubines in the palace in terms of diet and consumption, and the palace can read your care." , Qin Yuandan's lips were hooked obliquely, and Fu Zhi sneered, "Is it a chant or blasphemy, this palace is very clear in my heart, if there is any mistake in Ning Guiren's fetus, this palace will enter the cold palace, don't slack off on the Lian nobleman's side, her status in the palace is thin, if she loses the barrier of this palace, life will be difficult, has Yuru ever been to check?" ”

Yuru then stepped forward and said, "The slave maid also went to the Lotus Guiren yesterday, and checked everything from the meal to the daily life, and also told the Lotus Guiren what to pay attention to on weekdays. ”

Qin Yuan's eyebrows drooped slightly, and she nodded reassuringly, "Recently, you have not only to take care of Mu Xuan, but also busy with the affairs of the Lian Guiren and Ning Guiren, which has made you tired." Yuru bowed slightly, and said humbly, "The master is serious, these are what slaves and maids should do." ”

Qin Yuan's gaze then turned to profoundness, and she said in a solemn tone, "Ning Guiren's side has all been taken care of?" Yuru nodded firmly, "The master can rest assured, the slave and maid broke the medicine primer last night, if there is no mistake, the noble Ning will meet red tonight." Qin Yuan nodded reassuringly, and said indifferently, "Very good, this palace has endured Ning Guiren for so long, and he can finally take revenge for this arrow." ”

Zhang Dehai on the side then said, "Ning Guiren is so vicious and plots to kill the master, and the master solves her so decisively, it really cheapens her." The dye frost on the side nodded in agreement, "Grandpa Zhang is right, the master should also let her taste the pain." ”

Qin Yuan unintentionally stroked the jade ring between her fingers, and said indifferently, "This palace doesn't want to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, but this palace doesn't need to waste time on her, Ning Guiren has always been smart, and it's good to make a quick decision." ”

At this time, I saw a palace maid slowly walking in, bowing down and saying, "Niangniang, Ling Xiang, the maid of the lotus noble, asks to see you." Qin Yuan said without hesitation, "Biography." ”

Then I saw Ling Xiang walk in slowly, and slowly squatted and saluted, "Slave and maid see Hui Guifei Niangniang, Hui Guifei Niangniang Wan'an." Qin Yuan then said slowly, "Why did the Lotus noble send you here?" Ling Xiang instantly showed a little anxious, and said with a slight panic, "Concubine Hui, go and save the Lotus nobleman." ”

Qin Yuan's expression changed suddenly, and she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Back to Hui Guifei's words, this morning the slave maid went to the imperial garden with the master, and happened to meet Ruan Guifei, since the master is pregnant, Ruan Guifei has been looking at the master unpleasantly, Ruan Guifei said a few words to the master, the master has not refutated, until Ruan Guifei even took the number of masters is a dog by your side, the master couldn't help but bump a few words, how did Ruan Guifei actually get angry, forced the master back to the palace, it seems that it is going to be punished, the slave saw that the timing was not good, so he sneaked out, Concubine Hui wants to save the master. ”

At the end of the words, Ling Xiang's eyes couldn't help but be mixed with a few tears, Qin Yuan's color turned to anger after hearing this, and she asked, "Doesn't Concubine Duan, the lord of Yiying Palace, know what to do?" Xiuzhu then said aggrievedly, "Concubine Duan's temperament has always been easy-going, and her actions have always been low-key, so I guess Concubine Duanniang won't care about this kind of thing." ”

Concubine Hui was furious for a while, quickly got up, and said angrily, "Hmph, even the people in this palace dare to move, Zhang Dehai, what is the origin of this Ruan Guifei." Zhang Dehai hurriedly replied, "Ruan Guifei's father is the daughter of Lord Cheng Zhao, the fourth rank guard of the dynasty, and the biological mother of the eldest prince. ”

Qin Yuan made a slight pause, the eldest prince Mu De, Qin Yuan has heard of it slightly, just because her mother's identity is not noble, and she has lost her /// favor /// for many years, so she can't pay attention to it, Qin Yuan's lips flashed a smile, "This palace will go to meet this Ruan Guifei." Then he strode out of the Fengzhu Palace.

When I arrived at the Yinyue Hall of Yiying Palace, it had been about half an hour, Qin Yuan hurried into the Yinyue Hall after getting off her shoulder, and walked into the courtyard, and saw the Lian Guiren kneeling there alone, the cold wind in early winter made Ning Guiren bow and kneel on the stone floor, his hands clenched into fists, enduring the cold wind, and his face was extremely pale, Qin Yuan was even more angry after seeing it, and hurriedly walked to the Lian Guiren and said, "Lian Guiren, get up quickly." ”

Noble Lian hurriedly turned his head, and saw that Qin Yuan was very excited, as if he had seen a life-saving straw, and his irrepressible emotions called, "Concubine Hui ......", Qin Yuan's face was very solemn, and he hurriedly replied, "Noble Lian, hurry up." Yuru stepped forward to help the Lotus Guiren up, and the Lian Guiren frowned aggrievedly, and said, "Hui Guifei, Concubine Ji ......"

Qin Yuan hurriedly raised her hand to stop it, "Ling Xiang has already told the palace about the matter, don't worry, the palace will make the decision for you." Qin Yuan stepped into the cabinet of the Yinyue Hall with an angry face, only to see Ruan Guifei sitting on the soft couch roasting the fire, seeing the serious Qin Yuan coming in, she was extremely surprised for a while, and hurriedly got up and saluted, "Concubine Hui Guifei Niangniang please be safe, Hui Guifei Niangniang Wan'an." ”

Qin Yuan slowly walked to Ruan Guifei's side, her face was as cold as ice, and her tone was mean and majestic, "Kneel!" Ruan Guifei was taken aback, her brows furrowed slightly, and then she slowly knelt down, Qin Yuan condensed and said, "Does Ruan Guifei also know that the weather is cold?" I was baking the stove in the cabinet, but I let the lotus noble, who was pregnant for three months, kneel outside, this is really a bit unreasonable, right? ”

Ruan Guifei was a little submissive at the moment, she was still a little afraid of Qin Yuan, Qin Yuan then sat down slowly and asked, "What mistake did Noble Lian make?" Ruan Guifei swallowed nervously and spat at the mouth, and said slowly in a low voice, "The Lian nobleman contradicted the concubine with his words, so the concubine punished the Lian nobleman slightly." ”

Qin Yuan smiled indifferently, and then said angrily in a loud voice, "You insulted Noble Lian for being a dog beside the palace, don't you allow Noble Lian to defend a few words?" Everyone is from a beautiful background, and they are not ashamed to say such light words! ”

Qin Yuan's momentary anger frightened Ruan Guifei, and she hurriedly shrunk into a ball and knelt on the ground, admitting her mistake again and again, "The concubine doesn't dare anymore, and I hope that Concubine Hui will forgive her sins." ”

Qin Yuan glared at Ruan Guifei angrily, and smiled indifferently, "Don't think that this palace doesn't know why you can't get used to the lotus nobles, in the Yiying Palace, only you have a prince, you are afraid that Ning Guiren will replace you in the future, hmph, in the battles between your palace concubines on weekdays, the palace has always turned a blind eye, but you always want to see who the lotus nobles are, do you dare to move the people in the palace?" Today/Your mistake is that you shouldn't punish the pregnant lotus noble, even if she contradicts you, you should not worry about her for the sake of her pregnant dragon heir! ”

Ruan Guifei was even more frightened at this moment, tightened the silk handkerchief in her hand, and said in a trembling voice, "The concubine knows the mistake, the concubine knows the mistake." Qin Yuan glanced at Ruan Guifei with disdain, and then slowly got up, "Zhang Dehai, cut off Ruan Guifei's charcoal this winter, so that she can also taste the cold." ”

Zhang Dehai hurriedly responded, Qin Yuan didn't even look at Ruan Guifei, and smiled at Lian Guihe, "Let's go, this palace will send you back to the palace." ”

Subsequently, Qin Yuan accompanied the Lian Guiren out of the cabinet, leaving Ruan Guifei alone on her knees, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
