121, the protagonist

Xu Xun was calm and did not send anyone out of the palace to investigate, but the Queen Mother could not be as stable as her. The movement of Kunning Palace was sent to Qingning Palace soon after. The Queen Mother, who had just finished washing up and was preparing to go to bed, was so shocked that even the sleepiness completely dissipated. At that moment, the lights were lit, and he was half-seated, staring at the candle flame and groaning.

Aunt Meng walked into the house lightly, "Niangniang, this matter is not in a hurry......

"It's about being in a hurry." The Queen Mother interrupted her without saying anything, "This matter must have been done by a traitor planted by the King of Han, just to cut off Dalang's back road - if you want to climb the palace wall, you always have tools!" At this time, the palace gates everywhere have gone down thousands of miles, and it is not so easy for him to abandon the tools, if he can be quiet at this time, he will be able to dig him out if he can search the inner palace with all his hands! ”

Aunt Meng did not refute the Queen Mother's opinion, but nodded yes, the Queen Mother glanced at her, but she also understood, sighed, and said with a smile, "Are you talking back?" ”

"It's really time to hurry." Aunt Meng said, "The imperial city is so big, after a person escapes, it will be like water dripping into the sea, and it is not difficult to hide in the imperial city." ”

Now it is more than 20 years since the war in the early years of Yongle, that is, more than 20 years, during the war, many eunuchs will practice martial arts, and some of them are even better than the legendary martial arts masters. Around the King of Han, there will be no shortage of dead soldiers who can die for him - how to say, he is also a powerful vassal king who has been in charge of heavy troops. To catch such a person, the only way to catch such a person is to be as early as possible, as soon as possible, and if you are a little slower, you will have one more chance of letting him escape.

The Queen Mother and Aunt Meng have similar views, so naturally they will not refute her train of thought, she sighed and said in a deep voice.

"If Da Lang was in the palace, he didn't need my wife to go out, and he himself would have been ordered to go down a long time ago."

"You mean." Aunt Meng's expression moved, "The capital is empty......"

"It's better to be still than to be still." The Queen Mother said dejectedly, "Searching the palace late at night, it will definitely cause a storm in the city, can this still be hidden from Dalang?" ”

When leading the troops outside, the most taboo thing is to worry about the affairs of the family, the queen is likely to be pregnant with the eldest son, this pregnancy is not good, once the disturbance in the middle of the night reaches the emperor's ears, how much will it affect his mood?

Aunt Meng also understood, and couldn't help but sigh, "That's right, it's just that the queen is ......."

"Let the queen move to Qingning Palace and live with me." The Queen Mother twisted her eyebrows, and finally made a decision, "Kunning Palace, after all, it is far away from Qingning Palace, and the distance from her sisters is too close-"

She smiled at Aunt Meng with self-defeat, "I am from here, and I know in my heart that when I am pregnant, my heart is unstable and I often get angry." At this time, these sisters can only add to people's blockage. ”

However, that is also because Emperor Zhao often visited others frequently when the Queen Mother was pregnant, and now that the emperor is not in the palace, there is no vinegar to eat. The Queen Mother said that she was worried about the queen's emotions, but in fact, she was still worried about the queen's personal safety, which Aunt Meng also heard, but she didn't dare to pierce it: Sometimes, it's good to leave everyone a sense of security, even if this sense of security is more false, it's better than nothing.

"That's less than a month's work." She comforted the Queen Mother, "When Le'an's side calms down, the hearts of the people in the palace will naturally be at peace." ”

People's hearts are turned back, and not any one person can influence them. Now that Le'an is making trouble, the throne is not unstable, at least there is a challenger, and many people naturally have other thoughts. And when the matter on Le'an's side is resolved, these people are afraid that they will be more loyal than anyone else.

The Queen Mother nodded, "After getting up early tomorrow, you contact Feng En and Liu Siqing, slowly and carefully investigate, starting from the eunuch's residence, and let Dongchang call their fans, don't let go of any clues, even dig three feet into the ground, and dig out the suspicious places." ”

Dongchang Fanzi is actually still mainly based on Jinyiwei, but after special training. This is tantamount to letting a foreign man enter the imperial city to handle the case - although it does not conform to the general rules, and it is a bit of a face-saving meaning, but in this way, the disadvantages are also the least, and it is not easy for anyone with different intentions to escape.

From this point of view, the Queen Mother is still very measured, although it has been slowed down for a while, but as long as this person is not powerful enough to take the tools used to climb over the wall out of the palace, the possibility of him being caught is not small after all.

Aunt Meng didn't say anything, just nodded yes. The Queen Mother also stopped talking, and if she hadn't been lying down, Aunt Meng would have almost thought she was asleep.

After a while, the Queen Mother sighed heavily, "If something happened to Kunning Palace, did all the palaces come out to check the situation?" ”

"Xianyang Palace and Changning Palace are close...... Aunt Meng hesitated for a moment, and said tactfully, "Yong'an Palace is a little farther away, and there is no movement." ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help but show a slight sarcastic smile: At night, the inner courtyard of the deep palace is so quiet that even a needle can be heard from afar, and the movement of Kunning Palace can alarm the two palaces, and there is no reason not to alarm Yong'an Palace. Concubine Guifei and Concubine Hui sent people out to check, of course, it can't be said that there is something wrong, but in front of Concubine Zhuang's caution, it was compared to a little frivolous.

"It's strange to say that she 'has calm air every time there is a big event'......" The Queen Mother said in a low voice, "What about the queen, did you sleep?" ”

"As soon as I fell asleep, I was frightened and vomited." Aunt Meng replied cautiously, "Niangniang's reaction to this fetus is a little bigger. ”

Family affairs, palace affairs, and political affairs, none of them are smooth, and none of them can make people worry. Sometimes the queen mother feels that this life is too unfair to herself, weishenme other people's children are as simple as eating vegetables, the emperor beats the tall and strong body, but the heirs are so difficult. She rubbed her face, lost interest in gossiping with Aunt Meng, waved her hand, and said tiredly, "As soon as Ming'er opens the palace gate, let Feng En and Liu Siqing come to see me...... Got it? ”

Aunt Meng observed her words and looks, and also knew that the Queen Mother was a little tired, she did not answer, but calmly bowed her waist and quietly retreated outside the house.

When Xu Xun got up the next morning, Liu Zhien brought the truth of last night. By the afternoon of the next day, she also received the news that Dongchang had secretly raided the residence of the waiter.

The decision made by the Queen Mother has no room for Xu Xun to comment, let alone cooperate or not. Anyway, the palace ladies are usually very tightly controlled, and their contact with the outside world is very limited, so they are not the main target in this search campaign, and the concubines usually have nothing to do with them. This time the copying has nothing to do with Xu Xun and other concubines in theory.

She is more concerned about the queen's body: the queen mother characterized this matter as the spy of the Han king, which can be said to be handled very brilliantly, at least it calmed people's hearts and did not arouse suspicion and speculation among the harem concubines. -- It's just that the queen hasn't appeared in front of anyone for three or four days since the incident, and I don't know if she was frightened and caused her to have a fetal gas.

There are really few men in this family, I didn't feel anything when the emperor was there, but now when he goes out, there is really a sense that all the demons and monsters come out to make trouble. For a while, Liu Siqing and Feng En blocked the entire Jingshan exit, and the rooms were slowly churning around, and they didn't find any results for three or four days-although the investigation was very slow and the movement was not large, Xu Xun still secretly doubted whether this matter could be successfully concealed from the emperor.

Maybe it's because of the tense atmosphere, maybe it's because of the depressed mood, the menstrual event that should have come has been seven days late. Mama Qian has already suggested going to the doctor: it is not that she is suspected of being pregnant, but that the delay in menstruation for no reason is also a disease, and she needs to help her pulse and prescribe medicine to regulate - at least Mama Qian said so, Xu Xun also understood what she meant, this is not to put pressure on herself.

But in this atmosphere now, she doesn't want to make trouble, besides, she and the queen use the same imperial doctor, and at this time, because of the delay in menstruation, she went to ask the imperial doctor, which is somewhat suspicious of the queen's health. Xu Xun was also undecided, and he was afraid that if it was a happy pulse, it would not be good to delay, and he was afraid that it would not be a happy pulse, so he beat the gong and asked the imperial doctor, but no result came out, and others thought she was listening to the news.

- She is actually quite afraid, if she puts out the joy pulse at this juncture, she is only afraid of the queen......

If Xu Xun is pregnant, the days of the two people are about the same, and being pregnant first does not mean that Mr., but if they are both men, who comes first and who comes later, there are many mysteries in this......

"Don't take medicine, don't ask for a doctor, just wait." Xu Xun took his small notebook and turned it out to study with Mama Qian, "The last time I was favored was on a certain day in a certain month...... If there was one time, I might not be able to find out even if I ask a doctor now. ”

Generally speaking, a pregnant woman's pulse is not accurate until at least the second or third month. The queen is because she herself reacts strongly, and her menstrual period is always accurate, and she didn't come a few days late, and she can almost be diagnosed with another pulse. Xu Xun's erratic nature sometimes has to wait until the third month to get the certainty of happiness rather than simple amenorrhea.

Mama Qian also breathed a sigh of relief: these words had to come out of Xu Xun's mouth, and they must not advise. Otherwise, if the child has a case, who can afford this responsibility?

"It's okay to take it a bit." She tidied up the neckline for Xu Xun. "If it's okay, then it's better to keep a low profile. If there is anything, you have to wait until the queen's fetus is firmly seated. ”

"Hmm." Xu Xun actually didn't have much hope, women still have feelings for their bodies, and she always felt that her menstrual period should be in one or two days. "Let's wait and see."

And then it's just waiting, no matter how uneasy you are, no matter how ignorant you are, Xu Xun doesn't want to know where the emperor is, how the battle went, and she doesn't want to know how the queen's body is - she doesn't even let Liu Zhien go out to inquire about the news now, and she just hopes that Yong'an Palace will become a peach blossom source in the palace, and nothing in the Forbidden City will have anything to do with it except for eating.

However, she didn't inquire about the news, and the news would come to her just as well. I heard that the queen is now going to Qingning Palace to raise a baby, and I also heard that the inventory work has gained a lot, although there is still no clue about the mole so far...... Xu Xun listened to the news while waiting for his monthly letter.

When it came to the thirteenth day, she decided not to wait and ask a doctor to come and see. If you are pregnant, of course you should please, if you are not pregnant, according to her experience, it has been delayed for so long, and it will be super painful to wait until the day when Tianqi comes, so it is better to take some medicine to urge it out first.

That morning, she was discussing with Mama Qian whether to invite a new imperial doctor into the palace.

At this time, Yoo Ji-eun came.

As soon as he entered the door, he looked wrong, and saluted Xu Xun, Xu Xun asked, "What, what's going on?" ”

Liu Zhien said, "That...... The sinner had been caught, and the stolen goods were seized on the spot, but he had already bitten his tongue and committed suicide and could not be saved. ”

There is some regret in the words: Of course, he was not saved because of the kindness of the palace or anything, but mainly because he was alive, he could torture the mastermind.

When Xu Xun heard this, he was also relieved, and first recited a word of Buddha, "Amitabha, fortunately, there was no bigger turmoil." ”

Then Liu Zhien added with an eyebrow, "It's just...... At his residence, something was also found. ”

Xu Xun snorted, but before he could react, Liu Zhien said. "It's the blue treasure phoenix hairpin that the imperial concubine gave you back then."

"Huh?" Xu Xun and Mama Qian exclaimed together. For a while, both of them could only look at each other. Even Xu Xun didn't expect that the situation would evolve in such a ridiculous direction.

I took every precaution, and I was afraid that I would be implicated in the aftermath of the battle in the palace, but I didn't expect to be zuihou, it turned out that she was Concubine Xu Zhuang, but she was the protagonist of this play......
