"Master Hou, madam, please come here. ”

Following the attendants came the Hou Zhen Qingyu of Anping and his wife Qiao Lianying. Since their daughter entered the palace, the couple returned to the border and continued to defend their family and country.

At first, Zhen Ruxue's letters were all safe, but when they heard that she was pregnant, the two were even more happy. However, the letter written back recently was obviously wrong, the husband and wife were worried, at the insistence of Qiao Lianying, they immediately arranged the affairs at hand, and got the permission of Tanglin Guyun, all the way back to the capital day and night, and immediately entered the palace to visit. As far as Tanglin Guyun is concerned, he has no objection, mainly because he hopes that the two of them will accompany Zhen Ruxue more when they enter the palace, and enlighten her more, which should be beneficial to her.

Anxious to see their daughter soon, the three of them walked in a hurry, who knew that before they reached Nanfeng Palace, they suddenly saw a woman stumbling over, Qiao Lianying had already exclaimed: "Ru Xue?!"

Yes, the woman who came was Zhen Ruxue, but her face was full of tears, obviously not to greet the two of them, because the direction she went was Tianfeng Palace.

Sensing that something was wrong, Qiao Lianying immediately chased after her: "Ru Xue, my mother is here, what are you going to do?"

Zhen Ruxue didn't seem to hear it at all, and still ran desperately towards Tianfeng Palace, the two of them were anxious and panicked, and then chased after them, and between running and chasing, Zhen Ruxue had already rushed into Tianfeng Palace and cried loudly: "Queen Mother, why are you talking nonsense again?!"

When Duanmu Youning saw her, he felt that the Tanglin Lonely Cloud Cave on both sides was in sharp pain, which was even more unbearable than crying after a hangover. Sighing, she tried her best to keep smiling: "Concubine Xian, what's wrong with you?"

"What's the matter? This should be the concubine asking the queen's mother!" Zhen Ruxue cried so hard that she gritted her teeth, "Why do you say that the concubine's child can't be saved? How can you say that? It's just too much!"

"Ru Xue!, how can you be rude to the queen mother?!" An Pinghou and his wife arrived later, and couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw her attitude, Zhen Qingyu immediately stepped forward to ask for guilt, "Ru Xue is not sensible, the queen mother, please forgive me!"

Hearing her question, Duanmu Youning frowned secretly: Who is talking nonsense outside. It reached the ears of this virtuous concubine? Very good, is this taking what she said as a deaf ear?

Calming down, she smiled and said: "Marquis Anping doesn't have to worry, this palace won't blame, just ask Concubine Xian to make it clear: where do you start with this?"

"Do you still want to deny it?" Zhen Ruxue's tears flowed loudly, and she screamed desperately, "It was you who said that the concubine's child could not be saved, and it was impossible to be born smoothly, and now that everyone in the palace knows, do you still want to hide it from the concubine?!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhen Qingyu and Qiao Lianying couldn't help but glance at each other, and they were all surprised: What? Zhen Ruxue's child can't be saved? What's going on? No wonder I feel that the letter I received recently is not quite right, it turns out that the matter has reached this point!

In the end, it was the mother-daughter connection, Qiao Lianying immediately stepped forward, and was so anxious that she didn't know what to do: "Please forgive the queen, is what Ru Xue said true?"

Duanmu Youning was a little annoyed in his heart, and secretly thought that he would find out who it was for a while, so he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, but his face remained calm, and he said with a smile: "Madame, don't worry. Concubine Xian must have listened to the gossip of some palace maids, so she ......"

"It's not!" Zhen Ruxue interrupted her words, crying more and more silently, "This is not said by the palace maids, but by Brother Yun himself, can it be fake?"

There was silence in the room for an instant: What? What did the emperor say himself?

Zhen Qingyu and Qiao Lianying glanced at each other again, and they didn't know what to say: The emperor has gone too far, since there has been such a big change, why don't you tell them? Could it be that there is another inside story in this?

Duanmu Youning stroked her eyebrows, not knowing how to react for a while, but at the same time, she felt puzzled: Tanglin Guyun has never been unaware of proportion, how could he talk about such a big thing casually, and it was also heard by those palace maids, and then discussed it in private?

"The emperor has arrived—"

At this moment, the voice of the waiter came from the door, and before everyone could react, Donglin Guyun had already stepped in, and everyone immediately got up and saluted: "See the emperor!"

Tanglin Guyun looked around and waved his hand: "Don't be polite." Master Hou, madam, hard work from afar. ”

"The minister didn't dare to ......"

"Brother Yun, you're finally here!" Before Zhen Qingyu finished speaking, Zhen Ruxue had already pounced on her face with tears on her face, "Brother Yun, tell the queen mother quickly, did you say those words yourself?"

Tanglin Guyun frowned: "What?"

"That means that my child can't be saved!" Zhen Ruxue cried, "Didn't you say it yourself?

Tanglin Guyun was stunned for a moment, because he was sure that he had never said these words to anyone, how did Zhen Ruxue know?

Duanmu Youning stared at him closely, a faint reproach flashed in his deep eyes, but his face remained silent: "Your Majesty, did you really say such a thing?"

"I didn't," Tanglin Guyun shook his head without hesitation, "Ru Xue, who are you listening to again?"

"Brother Yun, I didn't!" Zhen Ruxue was about to go crazy, shaking her head frantically, "That's not nonsense, it's true!

"What nonsense!" Tanglin Guyun's eyes sank, "When did I say such a thing?" Ru Xue, you don't have to worry, when I find out those people, I will definitely punish them severely!"

Seeing that his appearance didn't look like a fake, Zhen Ruxue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and looked at him with a look of disbelief: "Brother Yun, do you mean that there is no such thing, my child is fine?"

Thinking of Duanmu Youning's words, Tanglin Guyun couldn't help but pause, and skillfully avoided the point: "Is it good for the child to have his own imperial doctor to draw conclusions, how can he listen to the nonsense of those palace maids?

"They ......," Zhen Ruxue hesitated, "They said that as long as I raise the fetus with peace of mind and maintain emotional stability, I will definitely be fine." ”

"Isn't that great?" Tanglin Guyun nodded, "Since even the imperial doctor said so, what are you worried about? Do you think that what those palace maids said is more credible than what the imperial doctor said?"

Zhen Ruxue wiped away her tears and asked eagerly, "Brother Yun, that means you haven't said anything like that, have you?"

"Of course, as the king of a country, how could I say such a thing?" Tanglin Guyun nodded, "Ru Xue, you remember, you can't be so reckless in the future, at least you have to find out the truth first and then come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, it's not the first time you've done this, the queen mother is the mother of the country after all, how can you be so contemptuous?"

These few words of reproach came out, Zhen Qingyu and Qiao Lianying were naturally frightened, and Qiao Lianying hurriedly stepped forward to plead: "The emperor forgives her sins, Ru Xue is young and ignorant, not to mention worrying about her own children, please ask the emperor and the queen mother to be extrajudicial and give a light punishment!"

"Madame is serious," Duanmu said with a smile, "Madame also said that Concubine Xian is worried about her child, and a mother has made any sacrifice for her child, and this palace will not blame." ”

Qiao Lianying was overjoyed, and gave a salute again and again: "Thank you Queen Mother! Thank you Queen Mother!"

Tanglin Guyun groaned slightly, and then said: "Ru Xue, since the misunderstanding has been explained clearly, you can go back with the Hou Ye and Madame." You haven't seen each other in a long time. There must be a lot of things to say, just to describe the feelings of farewell. ’

Seeing that the two of them were not to blame, Zhen Qingyu and Qiao Lianying dared to delay too much, and immediately dragged Zhen Ruxue away: "Wait for the resignation!"

When they left, Tanglin Guyun frowned: "This matter is wrong, I am sure I have never told anyone, why did I still spread it? And why did Ru Xue point out that it was me who said it myself?"

Duanmu Youning's eyes flickered: "Could it be that the emperor was overheard by those who served when he mentioned it to others, and then spread it?"

"Impossible," Tanglin Guyun still shook his head, "I haven't told anyone about this at all. ”

Duanmu Youning was about to say something, but suddenly found that the attendant standing behind Donglin Guyun wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but move in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Father-in-law, do you have anything to say?"

The chamberlain hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, I'm afraid that this matter is really said by the emperor himself." ”

Tanglin Guyun was stunned for a moment: "What?

The chamberlain fell to his knees with a thud, and said tremblingly: "Emperor Qi: That is, the emperor was drinking alone in the imperial study that night, and as a result, he drank a few more glasses, and he became a little drunk. When the old slave waited for the emperor to rest, the emperor said something like the child of the virtuous concubine could not be saved. The old slave suspected that someone might have heard it, so he quietly spread it. ”

Tanglin Guyun suddenly said: Yes, it must be so, he didn't know anything after drinking a few more drinks that night, maybe he did say something inappropriate when he was drunk.

Slamming his fist on the table, he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn! Who is so afraid of death?"

"The old slave should die! The old slave should die!" the attendant was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, "The old slave didn't take care of the emperor, it's the old slave's fault, but the old slave promised never to reveal half a word!"

Tanglin Guyun glanced at him, and his tone was very gentle: "I naturally know this, you get up." ”

The chamberlain was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When he got up, Tanglin Guyun waved his hand and asked him to wait outside the door, and then frowned: "Youning, what can I do now?"

Duanmu Youning's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Now, for the sake of Concubine Xian and the child in her womb, the emperor can only continue to grit his teeth and deny it, just say that there is absolutely no such thing, no matter what, it will be fine after the child is born." ”
