In the middle of the night, I saw that the dormitory of Zhaoyang Palace was still brightly lit, and as time quietly moved forward, the February of snow had passed.

The hand stove of the jacket skirt has been removed, and the advent of June has made the tulle brocade skirt from the new, and the continuous drizzle from time to time also moistens the growth of all things.

And now in the middle of the night when it was raining lightly, Xiao Jinxuan could be seen supporting her forehead with one hand, leaning against the table by the window quite sleepily.

With the crisp and pleasant dripping sound of raindrops on the eaves outside, Xiao Jinxuan looked like she was asleep, and her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled from time to time, but it proved that the other party was still awake.

And at this moment, the door of the dormitory was suddenly pushed open, and almost there was movement at the door, and Xiao Jinxuan immediately opened a pair of slightly red eyes.

and sat up straight, looked at Wen Xin who pushed the door in, and asked with a hint of eagerness:

"What's the matter, didn't I say that Concubine Xue's unbearable abdominal pain may be about to give birth today, Wen Xin, I told you to keep an eye on the movement over there, this will be born."

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan's expectant gaze with a hint of anxiety, Wen Xin couldn't give the other party the answer he wanted, so he could only shake his head helplessly, and said comfortingly:

"Jinxuan, don't worry too much, I've heard that there are not a few women whose pregnancy is delayed. Now that there is news from Fengxiang Palace, Xue Yuyan is in abdominal pain, you don't sleep even late at night and wait, so I'm afraid your body will not be able to bear it after a few times. In addition, I came in to tell you that the emperor has arrived at Zhaoyang Palace and is coming to the dormitory. ”

Regarding the fact that Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianrui have never had the same room, others may not know the inside story, but for Wen Xin, Xiao Jinxuan did not hide it.

Therefore, he knew that these two people were not husband and wife at all, so Wen Xin was afraid that Xiao Jinxuan was not dressed neatly in the dormitory, and Zhou Xianrui would inevitably feel uncomfortable with each other when he came, so he rushed over to predict it.

And after Zhou Xianrui ascended the throne and became emperor, the other party took over the task at the beginning and had to start the matter of countering the rebellion.

Therefore, Zhou Xianrui can be said to be **** busy in government affairs, and even Xiao Jinxuan rarely sees each other in the harem.

Therefore, when I heard that Zhou Xianrui, who had not been seen for five or six days, she actually came to Zhaoyang Palace in the middle of the night, thinking that the other party was looking for her because of something urgent, Xiao Jinxuan, who couldn't help but quickly stood up, sorted out her appearance and walked out of the hall to greet her.

However, after this effort, Zhou Xianrui also wore a bright yellow dragon robe, accompanied by Yu An, who has now become the head of the palace, accompanied by an umbrella, and came to the door of the dormitory.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was about to go out of the hall in the rain to bow down and ask for peace, Zhou Xianrui didn't even care about being caught in the rain, so he walked up quickly from under the umbrella that Yu An held for him.

After holding Xiao Jinxuan, who was about to kneel, Zhou Xianrui looked at the other party's red eyes and a sleepy and tired expression, and he couldn't help but say with a hint of distress and pity:

"How many times has Jinxuan said you, there is no need to be polite between you and me. Your body is already sick and has not healed, so you should pay more attention to rest on weekdays. I was just finished my political affairs, and I remembered that the blood bird's nest that was paid tribute to the palace during the day today was good. So in order to make you stewed and eat tomorrow morning, I asked the imperial chamberlain to bring it to you overnight. But I didn't want to wait for the waiter to go back, and I casually asked to find out that it was you who personally thanked you, and I didn't fall asleep so late. I was worried about whether you had a head attack and couldn't sleep, so I rushed over. ”

The wrist held by Zhou Xianrui was pulled back without a trace, and then Xiao Jinxuan led the other party into the dormitory, and after both of them were seated, she shook her head with a smile and said:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there is the Xue Ning Pill that the master refined for me, and the hidden illness of headache and discomfort has been suppressed. The reason why I haven't fallen asleep so late is mainly because I heard that not long after nightfall, the Fengxiang Palace announced the imperial doctor again, just because Xue Yuyan had a severe pain reaction before giving birth again. The other party was supposed to give birth in March at the latest, but now it looks like it's June. After such a long delay, I was really worried about whether the fetus in the other person's womb would heal. And now the voice of the previous dynasty advocating Xue Yuyan as the queen is getting louder and louder, after all, this child has not given birth for more than ten months, and it can be regarded as a gift. ”

Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianrui get together, regardless of whether they were chatting at the beginning, basically after a few words, the topic of the two will be on the business of the harem.

This may be because the two of them have similar personalities to each other, they are both so calm and focused on the overall situation.

However, it is also destined that it is basically impossible for the two to have any warmth and warmth, and perhaps confidants and friends are indeed the most suitable relationship for them.

Just like now, when Xiao Jinxuan mentioned the matter, Zhou Xianrui's pity was also reversed, and his expression returned to a serious appearance and immediately said:

"Jinxuan, what you said is right, there are indeed a lot of twists and turns in the book that asked Xue Yuyan to be canonized in the previous dynasty. Especially after Xue Hou announced to the public not long ago, saying that it had been determined that her niece was pregnant with the prince. Those ministers who were attached to the Xue family found a suitable reason, and on the grounds that the prince of the stable society was established early, they wanted to determine the identity of Empress Xue Yuyan. I am now **** and the court are all disturbed by these ministers, even if they have reprimanded and punished a few, but this time they are not afraid at all, obviously because of the instigation of the Prime Minister behind their backs. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan, who felt a little uncomfortable because she slept too late, rubbed her forehead and immediately sneered and said:

"A few months ago, I took Imperial Doctor Liang to give Xue Yuyan a pulse, and the other party was indeed pregnant with a princess. Although for some reason, all the imperial doctors are now struggling to tell whether the other party's fetus is male or female, but it is obvious that it must be Empress Xue's ghost. If my master hadn't gone into retreat to develop medicine to nourish His Majesty's heart and lungs, he would have been able to figure out what the reason for this place was. However, the motives of these ministers who are attached to the Xue family are also very clear, that is, to take advantage of the fact that this child is not born, and the identity of Empress Xue Yuyan will be determined. In this way, after the Xue family is out of one door, it will inevitably change its decadent state, and it will not rise here, so I am really a little worried about why this child just can't be born. ”

Compared with Xiao Jinxuan's puzzlement, Zhou Xianrui, who grew up in the harem since he was a child and was used to seeing all kinds of insidious methods of palace concubines, couldn't help but cautiously express his guesses.

"Although I have been busy with government affairs recently, I have also seriously thought about Xue Yuyan's affairs. Jinxuan, you have to know that the women of the harem in the past dynasties can be said to be the most ruthless and vicious. In order to compete for favor, they can do anything, some can kill their children with their own hands, and some deliberately make the prince sick, so as to lure the emperor to their bedroom. If it is Aunt Xue's nieces and nieces, after knowing that this child is a baby girl, in order to strive for more opportunities to win the phoenix position. Therefore, it is not impossible for me to forcibly postpone the time of delivery with drugs or special means, regardless of the life or death of the fetus in the womb. ”

Zhou Xianrui and Xiao Jinxuan belong to the same type of people, not only calm and capable, but also intellectual, very good at using small things to see the overall situation.

Therefore, Zhou Xianrui through his understanding of the ruthless mentality of the palace concubine, as well as the connection with the current situation, immediately really figured out Empress Xue's plan.

And the two people who are both very good at planning got together, and under the inspired conversation with each other, Xiao Jinxuan's brain also turned fast, and she couldn't hold back the feeling of sleepiness and dizziness, and then Zhou Xianrui's words continued to analyze without worry:

"Empress Xue has always been ambitious, and you and I are very clear about this. Knowing that I brought Imperial Doctor Liang over, I had already called Xue Yuyan's fetus a baby girl, but Fengxiang Palace actually spread the word that this fetus was a little prince shortly afterwards. But no matter how the delivery period is delayed, the child will be born after all, and it is impossible to hide whether it is male or female. Once she is a princess, she cannot become the eldest son of His Majesty, and Empress Xue's ambition to peep into the throne cannot be implemented. And the other party is not young after all, she may not have time to wait for Xue Yuyan to give birth to the prince in an unknown year. According to the other party's previous ambition to force the palace to usurp the throne, it is not known that she may do something to lose the royal blood. After all, if she wants to replace a baby, in terms of her status as the queen mother of the East Palace, it is not a problem at all. ”

Why Xiao Jinxuan has this speculation, one is inspired by Zhou Xianrui's words, and the other is because of her own empathy.

After all, don't forget that Xiao Jinxuan is by no means the real bloodline descendant of the Shuai Mansion, she was left into the Xiao family by the Yang family in order to protect her daughter, and she has been carrying this identity until today.

And the most fundamental reason why Xiao Jinxuan has this idea is because a few days ago, a niece of Empress Xue brought her youngest son who had just completed the moon into the palace to greet the other party.

At that time, Xiao Jinxuan felt that in the big clan, under such a clear situation, where would a concubine be worthy of entering the palace to ask Empress Xue for peace.

Even if the other party's excuse for entering the palace is because he has just given birth, he can teach his own experience to Xue Yuyan.

But now that I think about the little baby boy who was brought into the palace together, it is really uncertain whether he was led out of the palace again.

It is also thanks to Xiao Jinxuan that she is careful, even though Empress Xue has been extremely peaceful in the past few months, she still has not relaxed her monitoring of Fengxiang Palace.

Otherwise, if Xiao Jinxuan was a little negligent, she might not even think of changing the baby.

And after this will tell her worries and speculations, she can see that Xiao Jinxuan's eyes are even more worried, and then she immediately said:

"Your Majesty, in this harem, Jinxuan will inevitably send more people to keep an eye on Fengxiang Palace, if the other party really has the vicious intention of changing the baby, I will definitely not let Empress Xue succeed. After all, now the entire Imperial Medical Department is under my control, and unless Xue Yuyan is in the hands of an imperial doctor, they will not be able to avoid my manpower. But how to contain Jinxuan in the harem, Xue Yi, with her identity as the queen mother of the East Palace, wants to completely defeat and capture her, and it is impossible to do it without the evidence of the crime. Unless we can find Su Qin's mention of her father before, the hidden story of the Four Kings Rebellion back then was evidence of the Xue family's operation. In this way, the tumor of Xiangfu can really be removed, and it will also cut off the support of Empress Xue's mother's family, and completely uproot their Xue family. ”
