Yunli took a deep breath and said word by word: "My son said that the person from the Condensing Frost Pavilion is Empress Xiao Shengxian. ”

Concubine Qin knew very well that her son, who would never tell such a lie, so there was only one result, that is, every word Yunli said was true.

Concubine Qin tried to calm herself down, but her voice was still full of surprise, "Why is she alive and going to Junggar." ”

Yunli said it about the time when she was about to meet Ling Ruo, but in order to avoid worrying about Concubine Qin, she did not elaborate on those matters related to life and death, but just said a word, Rao is like this, Concubine Qin was also frightened when she heard it, and said for a long time: "You are so bold, you dare to do this...... Empress Xiao Shengxian took it away, and those barbarians in Junggar were all fierce, if they were chased, what would they do if they killed you. "Concubine Qin was really reluctant to mention those five words, but she had to mention them; She has been by the side of the first emperor for decades, she is careful in everything, and she never dares to do anything that the first emperor does not like, but in the end, she is just a concubine, and Niu Hulu is just a concubine, so she can be posthumously crowned as the queen.

Yunli comforted: "My son knows how to be proportionate, from childhood to adulthood, when did E-Niang see her son do something out of proportion, and in that case, if you don't rescue Empress Xiao Shengxian, it will be difficult to have another chance in the future." After a pause, he added: "But why she came back from the dead, Empress Xiao Shengxian herself doesn't know, but when she woke up, she was already trapped by the despicable villain Geldan and couldn't leave. ”

Concubine Qin breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyway, it's a good thing to be able to rescue people, but in the past three months, why hasn't Eniang heard the news of the resurrection of Empress Xiao Shengxian, Eniang just entered the palace to Shoukang Palace a few days ago, and she didn't hear anything about it." ”

Yun Li said according to what he had thought of before: "Because along the way, Erchen had to avoid Geerdan's pursuit, so he went to the barren mountains and mountains, and he really couldn't find a post station to tell the emperor about it. ”

For his words, Concubine Qin was a little skeptical, how much mind and ability this son has, I believe that there is no one in the world who knows her better, just like Yunli said, never do things that are out of proportion, even if you do it, you must have a lot of certainty, you can get rid of those people in Zhungeer, how can they all spend it in the wilderness, and it is still three months in a row.

Concubine Qin didn't ask her doubts directly, but said, "Even if that's the case, you should also go to replenish dry food, can't you find a decent post station there?" ”

Yunli lowered his head and said: "Yes, in order to avoid pursuit, even if you want to replenish dry food, you are just looking for some remote and unnoticeable small towns, and there are no post stations." ”

Seeing that Yunli had bitten this to death, Concubine Qin was inconvenient to ask any further, and said instead: "Even if this is the case, now that you have returned to Beijing, you should immediately send Empress Xiao Shengxian back to the Forbidden City, why do you want to keep her in the mansion." ”

"Erchen saw that it was getting late, and he was afraid of disturbing the emperor, so he was ready to enter the palace again today, but he didn't expect that Empress Xiao Shengxian suddenly gave birth prematurely." Hearing Yunli mention the premature birth, Concubine Qin suddenly remembered what she had just forgotten, and pointed to the child in Yunli's arms and said, "What's the matter with this child?" Why did Empress Xiao Shengxian suddenly give birth to such a child, could it be that she was pregnant when she was buried? ”

She didn't doubt the origin of the child, because since the child could still survive after leaving the mother's body, it would be seven or eight months to say the least, and Ling Ruo's burial was only four or five months ago, and there was no doubt that the child must have been conceived in the palace.

"Yes, Empress Xiao Shengxian was three months pregnant at the time, but she was given to death by the emperor's poisonous wine, although she came back from the dead, but the fetus in her womb was unborn with severe poison in her body, if it weren't for her son to find Dr. Lu, the child could not be born safely, I just hope that the child can go well in the future, and get rid of the toxicity in the body as soon as possible."

Concubine Qin nodded, pondered carefully, and said: "Don't mention the things that have become facts, now everything is still consummating, you will enter the palace to face the saint later, and tell the emperor the truth of the matter, as for why you didn't return to the palace in time last night...... she paused and said: "You don't have to say anything too late, it's inconvenient to disturb, the emperor's xingzi I know very well, in addition to the old thirteen, the brothers and ministers next to him are all suspicious, although you are closer to the emperor, but after all, you are not as good as the old thirteen; Once the emperor knows that you will leave Empress Xiao Shengxian in the mansion for the night, I am afraid that something will happen. You just said that you just returned to Beijing today, and this child was also born on the way back to Beijing, and as soon as you returned to Beijing, you immediately entered the palace, and you didn't go back to Guojun Wangfu, understand? Without waiting for Yunli to speak, she added: "Now immediately let Empress Xiao Shengxian and this child return to the carriage, and as for the others, I will give proper instructions and not let them talk nonsense." ”

After the concubine finished speaking, Yun Li said: "Eniang, my son has something to ask for." ”

Concubine Qin stroked the dark gold embroidery on her sleeve and said meaningfully: "Yunli, you just said that you know how to be proportionate, and E-Niang hopes that the next request you will make is also within proportion; If you think so, mention it, listen to E-Niang. ”

When Concubine Qin spoke, Yunli kept looking down at the thin child in her arms, and only after there was no sound in the room did she say: "In fact, along the way, with Dr. Lu escorting, Empress Xiao Shengxian's fetal gas has been quite stable, and there is no major problem." But Empress Xiao Shengxian was given death by the emperor, although the son was untied many times, but the knot has not been untied, after returning to Beijing, she learned that she was going to see the emperor the next day, and she was excited, so that she gave birth prematurely, and just now Dr. Lu also said that when you are confined, you still have to avoid too many emotional fluctuations, otherwise there will be unpredictable consequences. When Yunli said this, Concubine Qin's face had sunk, but she still listened to Yunli's words, "In order to take care of Empress Quanxiao Shengxian's body, my son wants to keep her in the mansion for a month, and then return to the palace after the confinement!" ”

As soon as Yunli's words fell, Concubine Qin, who had endured for a long time, said categorically: "No! Today, she must be sent to the palace and handed over to the emperor, and from now on, her life and body have nothing to do with you. ”

In the past, once it was something that Concubine Qin strongly opposed, even if Yunli thought it was not the case, she would do it according to Concubine Qin's wishes, but this time she said resolutely: "If you do it according to Eniang's wishes, Empress Xiao Shengxian will be in danger at any time, in case the knot in her heart cannot be untied, or maybe something unforeseen happens, won't the son's so-called salvation become harmful?" ”
