Chapter 53: The Conspiracy Reappears
"Well, you step back first, I'll call you when I have something." Zhao Yunniang took the pear soup and put it aside, nodding lightly.
Hearing this, the maid got up and walked out, Zhao Yunniang's hand unconsciously covered her lower abdomen, and instead poured the pear soup into the flower pot on the counter.
She didn't believe anyone in this palace, and if she wanted to protect this child, she could only work harder to keep the emperor's favor.
Concubine Li returned to the palace and threw a lot of things, and the maid stood aside and didn't dare to say much.
It was this picture that Tuoba Yuan saw when he came, and after asking the maid a few words, he learned that Zhao Yunniang was pregnant.
"Mother." Tuoba Yuan walked in with a calm face and ordered someone to clean up the mess on the ground.
"You're here." When Concubine Li saw him, she came back to her senses slightly, and sat down weakly, "You already know that she is also pregnant, right?" ”
Tuoba Yuan nodded and admitted, seeing that Concubine Li's face was even more ugly, but she suddenly laughed out loud on her face: "It's not unusual for her to be pregnant, whether she can give birth to a child is her ability." ”
The intrigues and intrigues in this harem are comparable to the intrigues of the officialdom of the previous dynasty, and every step is an abyss.
Even if Zhao Yunniang is pregnant, she is only a concubine, if she can't give birth to a child, she will always be just a concubine.
"What you said is not unreasonable, I will definitely let the concubines of the palace take good care of her." Concubine Li seemed to think of something in her mind, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was full of malice.
Prince's Mansion.
Although Tuoba Jun is now imprisoned, he arranged for people in the palace to report the situation every day, and when he heard that Zhao Yunniang was pregnant, he was also shocked.
"You're really not looking for the wrong news?" Tuoba Jun couldn't help but ask rhetorically. "Your Highness, the slave listened really well." The subordinate nodded.
Tuoba Jun's eyes were secretly happy, and he quickly let the man go back.
If Zhao Yunniang can regain his holy grace, won't his chance to turn over come soon?
Following.
Zhao Yunniang looked at the delicate snacks on the table and the washed fruits, but she didn't have any appetite, she just lowered her gentle eyes on her lower abdomen.
"Concubine Yun Niangniang, today the imperial doctor has come to ask for peace pulse." The maid respectfully came in to preach, but her expression did not allow her to refuse at all.
Zhao Yunniang wondered in her heart, in the past, it was after lunch, and it was not time to ask for peace at this time, why should it be earlier today?
"You ......" She looked up to see the Imperial Doctor's true face, her face visibly flustered, and then quickly calmed down.
"I see," she nodded pretending to be calm, and then spoke to the maid beside her, "you go down and get some sour plum soup first, I want to drink it." ”
The maid closed the door, and the worry in Zhao Yunniang's eyes was not hidden.
She knew that Tuoba Jun was now in the period of confinement, and if someone found out, then both of them would be dead.
"Why are you here, if someone finds out......," she hurriedly asked.
Tuoba Jun glanced at her unhurriedly, sat down on the chair casually, and picked two green grapes to eat: "What you said seems to be that this child is an affair between the two of us." ”
"You!" Zhao Yunniang's heart was raised, and when she opened the door and found that no one was eavesdropping, she was a little relieved this time.
"If you want to keep this child, just talk to me." Tuoba Jun's eyes swept inadvertently over her lower abdomen, and his words showed contempt.
Zhao Yunniang didn't dare to let him leave directly, but she was afraid that someone would find out that he was here.
"What do you want to do?" Her eyes gradually calmed down.
If he hadn't come suddenly today, she would have almost forgotten that she still borrowed his hand to enter the palace.
"You want to help me deal with Tuobatsu." When Tuoba Jun saw her ask, he simply stopped going around the bend with her, and he didn't want to be found here.
"Why are you ......" Zhao Yunniang suddenly hesitated when she heard this name.
After all, Tuoba Truss is her real master.
"Why, are you his man, or do you admire him?" Tuoba Jun saw her reaction in the eyes and unceremoniously sneered.
"No, it's not." Zhao Yunniang shook her head and denied it.
Now that she has a child, she should plan more for the child.
Since she entered the palace, Tuoba Truss has done anything to give her any benefits, thinking that she has done so many things for him before, it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.
"I promise you it is." Zhao Yunniang finally made up her mind, and after thinking about it, she said, "But you have to ensure the safety of me and the child in the palace." ”
Tuoba Jun agreed to leave soon after coming down, and no one noticed all this, but everyone could keenly feel that the atmosphere in this palace was going to change again soon.
"Changge, Zhao Yunniang ordered someone to send a letter over."
Later, Tuoba Truss pushed the person for a walk and went straight to the study, telling her the message sent by the secret guard.
Li Changge didn't have many surprises, it was not normal for her not to come to find some partners to cooperate with in this scene at the moment, but it was just ......
"What did she tell you?" Li Changge asked bluntly, not hiding what he was thinking in his heart.
Tuoba Juan handed over the letter, and explained: "She may have been too worried this time, no matter how much she investigates, she can't suspect us, not to mention that the prince is now under house arrest, and there is no way to find any evidence." ”
The content of the letter is very simple, it is nothing more than that the five princes have found a new witness and have begun to carry out a new investigation.
But this matter really has nothing to do with them, and now Zhao Yunniang said that there are more important things to negotiate with them.
Li Changge put down the paper in his hand and asked with a smile, "How credible do you think what she said?" ”
This is a naked proposition.
Tuoba Truss carefully looked at her expression, pondering what she might be thinking in her heart at the moment, and said slowly, "It should be...... It's pretty high. After all, she was my eyeliner from the beginning, and now what is going on, it is simply difficult to investigate. ”
"It's your own person anyway, and it's your own business to do anything." She put away her usual unruliness, leaning on the wheelchair with a somewhat indifferent expression, "After being in the palace for so long, who knows if it will change, in short, it's better for you to be careful." ”
Tuoba Truss nodded, and what she said was not unreasonable.
But what happened is still to be known by yourself.
When the sky was dark, the air outside was still foggy and heavy in moisture.
When Tuoba Truss arrived at the place agreed with Zhao Yunniang, the sun had not yet shown any signs, but his clothes were all covered with crystal dewdrops.
He was the only one in the huge Huating Lake, standing alone beside the horse.
Sanqi quietly observed this side in the grass not far away, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't detect the specifics.
Before a pillar of incense had been completed, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, shattering the peace of the morning.
A puff of dust swept by, and Tuoba Truss only saw Tuoba Jun riding a horse at the front.
He frowned and looked at the person in front of him coldly without saying a word.
Tuoba Jun dismounted and stood next to him, stretched out his index finger and shook it, and immediately a soldier behind him threw a corpse in front of him.
"I don't know if the imperial brother still remembers this person?"
Tuoba Jun squatted down and lifted the white cloth on the corpse, and in an instant, the smell of the whole corpse filled the freshness of the morning, making people only feel lightheaded.
The corpse is quite well preserved, but it ......
The man lying on the ground was clearly the jailer who had been in charge of Tuoba Yu that day, and judging from the stench and decay of the corpse, he had been dead for a long time.
But yesterday, Tuoba Truss could still see him go to buy wine and drink, and he passed in front of him, and the fresh life made people look very optimistic.
Tuoba Jun knew what he was thinking when he saw him, paced to his side, and said in his ear, "I didn't expect that the royal brother is also an infatuated species, he has a good wife in the family, and he likes the girl in the drunken fairy building." No, my brother wants to tell you that a woman's mouth cannot be trusted, especially a beautiful woman. ”
In the midst of lightning, Tuoba Truss instantly understood what was going on.
It turned out that Zhao Yunniang had already become Tuoba Jun's person, but why she had only started this game until now was still unknown.
What is certain is that Zhao Yunniang did not tell him his true identity and relationship with her.
So much so that he mistakenly thought that it was because he fell in love with Zhao Yunniang that he would listen to her words and come here to take risks today.
Since this relationship is not exposed, the next thing is much easier to deal with.
Tuoba Truss gently touched the crown of his hair and said loudly, "The emperor's brother is really good at laughing, then Zhao Yunniang is just an old friend I met when I cherished it, and I naturally want to help." I just don't know, what does this corpse on the ground mean? ”
"Brother Huang is really good at laughing, how can a man not steal? Could it be that the royal brother really thinks that I am a fool who has been kept in the dark? ”
Tuoba Jun didn't believe his words at all, and his actions were even more able to show that he was a thief.
Seeing that Tuoba was silent, he raised his eyebrows and explained in a circle, "This corpse on the ground was the jailer who guarded the prison on the day the former prince died, and no one has seen him since then. But just yesterday, someone saw you and him appear in the tea house at the same time, and when I found him today, I have already become like this, how can I explain it? ”
The corpse on the ground obviously looked like it had been dead for more than a few days, which showed that someone was behind it.
Without waiting for him to say anything, Tuoba Jun put away the smiling look on his face, turned his head and let the soldiers around him suppress him.
Tuoba Truss raised his eyes to look at him, but saw his serious face, "If you have any words, just wait for a while to explain to your father when you are in the early dynasty!" ”
