In March, the grass is light, and the mountains are washed. The ice skin on the surface of the river began to unseal, and the light was bright, and the waves were layered.

The days in the palace passed peacefully day by day, the emperor's cultivation period was not yet complete, and the officials did not need to go to court early. The harem concubines were at peace with each other, so they had to wait for the emperor to go out of the customs at the spring banquet and see the dragon's face again in the treasure and palace.

In Yongning Palace, at dusk, Gu Yunyao was overjoyed and had no appetite, so he ordered someone to go to the small kitchen to pass a bowl of silver bird's nest porridge.

Bird's nest is a gift from Concubine Xu, who got some excellent Yazhou swallows from her mother's family, and knew that Yunyao loved to eat bird's nest the most, so she sent some from the palace two days ago.

Gu Yunyao was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals at the moment, lowering her head slightly, her shallow gaze quietly falling on her concave and convex lower abdomen, and slowly stroking it back and forth with one hand, with an elegant and satisfied expression.

Zhao An stood aside and looked at his beloved woman silently, his heart was full of relief and joy.

It can be seen that she has fully integrated into her current role, and it is indeed better to be ready to become a mother with peace of mind.

The quiet atmosphere of the main hall was broken by the sound of small footsteps, and a chamberlain hurriedly ran in from the outside, stumbling to his knees at the door.

Zhao An was shocked for a moment, wasn't this chamberlain an informant sent by himself to connect with Yongning Palace?

Now like this, is there something wrong with the little master?

Eyebrows and eyes widened, Zhao An scolded impatiently:

"Little pipe, what you do in the blue sky and day is so unruly, carefully disturbing the mother's jade body, our family can't spare you!"

The chamberlain's face was pale, his facial features trembled and frightened, his arms tightened his body, and he bowed his head tremblingly and replied:

"Qi, Qi Niangniang, something is wrong!"

"What the hell? Talk back. ”

Gu Yunyao's good mood was dissipated by the startled complexion of the waiter, and he turned his head to look at him, the smile on his lips gradually disappeared, and a dark cloud condensed between his eyebrows.

The chamberlain didn't dare to delay, and his shrill voice was irresistible:

"Niangniang, it's not good, the letter from the other end of the Yongning Palace said that the palace maid Xi'er had a fever and rash all over her body in the middle of the night, and was accused of pretending to be sick and leaving the palace by the imperial concubine, and was dragged to the violent room and beaten badly, and the slave was already fainting in the violent room when he got the letter."

"What?"

Gu Yunyao's face was very different, and she subconsciously straightened up and wanted to stand up, but she lost strength in her legs.

"Master, beware."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Songqin protected her above, for fear that she would flash her waist in a hurry and hurt the fetus in her womb.

Zhao An's eyebrows were burning, he waved his hand in frustration to send the small tube to withdraw, turned around and walked to the circle chair, and before he could get over, he was stretched out by the worried woman and pulled Tuanyun's wide sleeves, her beautiful eyes were tearful, and her complexion was in a hurry, as if she was grasping the only straw that could save her life.

"Zhao An, you said, the plan failed, right? It is a capital crime for the palace people to be found out of the palace when they are sick, Wan Yuyao has already pinched Yunxi's handle, this, how good is this? ”

"Don't panic, master, let the minions and minions think about it...... According to the minion's humble opinion, the intention of the Yongning Palace at the moment is only to torture the little master, even if she knows that the little master plans to leave the palace with illness, the corporal punishment will not make her worry about her life. It is imperative that your jade body is the most important, and you must not worry too much. ”

Zhao An held her cool puff in his hand, and when he coaxed her gently, he was frightened and puzzled in his heart.

It stands to reason that the little master has followed Lord Leng for a long time, and he should be a wise person in words and deeds, but now how could he mess up the whole thing as soon as he made a move?

Gu Yunyao is easy to be depressed when she is pregnant, and now that she hears that Yunxi has something, she is in a hurry, how can she listen to Zhao An's persuasion:

"But、But Yunxi can't wait......"

Suddenly, the door curtain opened, and a palace maid entered the hall, and the head of the chin reported:

"Qi Yu Niangniang, Aunt Lihu from Yongning Palace is here."

“……”

Gu Yunyao's eyebrows changed suddenly, and after looking at Song Qin and Zhao An in pairs, she barely suppressed the knot in her heart, Lan Zhi supported her makeup, slowly sat down, and said:

"Please."

When he was young, Lihu stepped into the threshold, the goose egg face with plain makeup looked indifferent, his eyes fell slightly to the ground, and his slender eyelashes disappeared from the frost under his eyes.

"The slave has seen Master Yu, and the master is auspicious."

Holding hands and blessing the body, Lihu hooked his lips, the arc was shallow, and he seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Gu Yunyao's heart sank, and the whole person was in front of the table, feeling that something was wrong.

"Auntie has always been good? Zhao An, take a seat. ”

"Don't bother," Lihu's face expression remained stagnant, his eyes raised and he raised his voice to excuse himself, at this time, the smile lines on the corners of his lips were deeper, his eyes were directed at Gu Yunyao, and there was a treacherous and cold aura entrenched in the silence.

"This time the slave maid came to be ordered by the imperial concubine, please Yu Niangniang must move her daughter's body and go to Yongning Palace with the slave and maid."

Gu Yunyao looked at Lihu in a daze, her hands clenched into fists between her sleeves, and her finger bones were white and she didn't know it.

Zhao An asked on the side:

"Dare to ask my aunt, do you know what the imperial concubine has to say?"

The current situation is different from the past, although Gu Yunyao is a concubine, and her rank is one level lower than that of the imperial concubine, she has been pregnant for nearly four months. In terms of the value of the mother and the son, even if the Yongning Palace uses eight sedan chairs to invite, the Jingyang Palace can categorically refuse to go because Concubine Yu is unwell.

Zhao An's question seemed to be in the other party's arms, Lihu sighed and said unhurriedly:

"Father-in-law Zhao asked, and he thought it was Xi'er's little hooves who made trouble. was originally a good person, but last night she didn't know what she had eaten wrong and had a rash, so she lied that she had caused smallpox. Thanks to a well-informed nurturing grandmother in Wan Niangniang's palace, she found a bowl of black vine ash to wipe the dead girl's body, and the rash disappeared after two hours.

Niangniang was naturally angry, and after the torture, she said that there was a package of medicine that you met in the garden a few days ago and told her to take it and go out of the palace.

How can my mother believe that a servant is willing to open his mouth to frame the palace concubine, it is inconvenient to send the slave and maid to invite you over, and confront the little hoof face to face, so I asked her how she remembered to fabricate out of thin air, and she had to frame you out of nothing. ”

Gu Yunyao was silent, and her two eyes suddenly became sharp in Lihu's self-care statement, and as soon as the other party finished speaking, her face suddenly changed, and her complexion was solemn:

"Auntie, go back to serve Niangniang first, and the palace will arrive later."

"This ......"

Lihu was stunned for a moment, and sensitively noticed that Gu Yunyao's attitude turned cold, and her face was slightly cold:

"Master Yu, I'm afraid this is not good?"

"Auntie, please come back," Gu Yunyao followed with another sentence, her voice suddenly cold like a hard ice pick quenched to the ground in the harsh winter, and the sound was stiff and crisp:

"Even if you meet the imperial concubine in person, the palace can't lose its demeanor, and it always takes some time to dress up and change clothes, and it is inconvenient to ask my aunt to stand under the corridor for a long time. Please go back to Ming Niangniang, and within a moment, the palace will go to Yongning Palace. ”

Seeing that Concubine Yu was really angry, Lihu was not good to force it again.

The other party is a pregnant woman, pregnant with a child of Long Live Lord, and the gold is very expensive. If you get angry and have a bad tire, how can you excuse yourself as a slave?

"Just rely on the master, and the slave and maid will retire."

The corners of his eyebrows twitched, his chin narrowed his eyes, Lihu forced himself to hold back his hatred and whispered, and cautiously withdrew.

There was silence for a while, Gu Yunyao slowly stood up and instructed Songqin:

"Change your clothes for Hongu."

"Niangniang, do you really want to go to Yongning Palace?!"

Zhao An stepped forward to stop her, knowing that the catastrophe had befallen Jingyang Palace again, and resolutely refused to let her go to the appointment.

Gu Yunyao stretched out her hand and nudged Zhao An, with a deep shadow between her eyebrows:

"Hongu must go! Yunxi is still waiting for the palace there, and if the palace does not go, the imperial concubine will definitely torture her even harder. Song Qin, with the palace into the warm pavilion dressing. ”

Seeing her being helped into the warm pavilion by the palace maid in charge, Zhao Anxin was anxious.

The plan failed, and the little master actually betrayed Master Yu in front of the imperial concubine, how could this be?

At present, the saint is in retreat, and Queen Qian has not returned to the palace after fasting in Yonglu Temple, who else, who else can protect the master Ichigo?

When Gu Yunyao came out of the warm pavilion again, she was wearing a honey cardigan with a smoky silk acacia flower horse face skirt, and without saying a word, she directly covered the moon white smoke cloud pattern brocade cloak, and drove to Yongning Palace.

Zhao An's persuasion was ineffective, and he was so anxious that his heart was on fire, and he wandered in the palace many times, and suddenly stopped, thinking of someone in his mind.

The situation is urgent, and he can't take care of it anymore. Even if Master Yu doesn't like that person, he is the only one who can save her at the moment!

After pondering for a moment, Zhao An gritted his teeth and resolutely ran out of Yongning Palace.

……

The group rushed to Yongning Palace halfway to meet King Chen Hua Nanxin, who was playing on the side of the palace road with a cloth tiger in his arms, and when he saw Gu Yunyao, he followed the sedan chair for a while, showing off his tiger toys to her from time to time.

Gu Yunyao naturally didn't have the heart to deal with him, so he ran away after following him for a while.

The sedan chair fell outside the gate of Yongning Palace, and the guard of honor waited, Gu Yunyao walked into the door quickly supported by Song Qin, and the two palace maids followed closely behind her.

When she arrived at the outer garden, she could hear bursts of abuse and cries inside, sharp and miserable, and a swarm of bees poured into Gu Yunyao's ears, startling her into a cold sweat, trembling her chest rising and falling violently, and speeding up her pace towards the main hall.

The palace people who stayed under the corridor were instructed in advance, and almost no one stopped them, and directly let the master and servant enter the hall.

The luxurious temple has a dull and terrifying atmosphere, which makes people breathless.

Gu Yunyao hurriedly stepped into the threshold, her eyes searched in a panic and panic, and she immediately saw several maids in the center surrounding the poor girl.

She shuddered and curled up on the ground, and her miserable appearance with her skin peeling pierced Gu Yunyao's heart.

"Yunxi—"

Gu Yunyao let out a cry like rain, pushed away the songqin, and approached the girl step by step.

The girl raised her head faintly, her hair was stained with blood, and half of her face was covered in a messy manner, her lips were cold and bloody, and she was about to say something to Gu Yunyao with convulsions, but was coldly interrupted by a yin owl's voice:

"Concubine Yu, you really came very fast!"
