Shen Lianyue's spoiled eyes softened her heart, and the grievances pressed in her heart gradually dissipated.

Zhao Qizhen sat up and said with a smile: "Your Highness's concubine has received her body and mind, and her birthday will not pass, your wedding and I are too grand, if you wantonly manage your birthday again, I am afraid that some people will gossip!" ”

"You are the concubine of this palace, and now you are pregnant again, you should do it!" Zhao Qizhen held her hand tightly and did not allow her to refuse.

Shen Lianyue was in a trance at this time, which side was the real him!

"Yesterday, this palace was dizzy by my uncle, don't take it to heart!" Zhao Qizhen changed his words and talked about yesterday's events.

Shen Lianyue was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Alas, don't mention it, if you were really dragged into the water by your uncle, you would admit it!"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Lianyue was even more anxious, "What's wrong with Your Highness?" ”

Zhao Qizhen motioned for the palace people to go out, and after everyone retreated, he said helplessly: "You and I are one husband and wife, and we shouldn't hide it from you, but now that you are pregnant, don't worry about these things anymore." Hongu will take care of it! ”

"Your Highness said that you shouldn't hide it from me, tell the concubine that she is."

Zhao Qizhen sighed, and said for a long time: "Have you heard that the imperial brother has arrested a criminal who smuggled smuggled salt?" ”

"I heard about it yesterday!" Shen Lianyue nodded as she spoke.

"Alas! Uncle is really confused..."Zhao Qizhen, who had said half of the words, frowned.

Shen Lianyue then asked: "Could it be that this matter has something to do with Uncle Guo?" ”

"Exactly!"

Zhao Qizhen told her about this, and Shen Lianyue was also shocked when she heard it, no wonder he was so irritable yesterday.

"So what now?"

"My father has always hated the collusion of officials and bandits the most, and my uncle has committed a big taboo! He is still doing such evil things under my banner, I am afraid that I will be implicated this time! Yesterday, I had a dispute with the queen mother because of this matter to treat you like that, don't be annoyed with me because of this! Zhao Qizhen complained of bitterness, his face full of helplessness.

"This matter was done by the uncle of the country alone, not to mention that the Son of Heaven committed the same crime as the common people, how could he affect His Royal Highness the Prince!" Shen Lianyue is the first consideration of Zhao Qizhen.

"The queen mother cares about family affection, and I also want to understand!" Zhao Qizhen looked sad and stopped looking at her.

Shen Lianyue thought about how she could help Zhao Qizhen, and thought of the child in her belly for a long time, and called Cuiliu to dress and change her clothes.

didn't say much to Zhao Qizhen, and hurriedly went to Changchun Palace.

Today, the queen is unwell, so she is exempted from the greetings of many people.

When I heard that Shen Lianyue was coming, I didn't want to see her, but Shen Lianyue insisted on not leaving, so she still passed her in.

"Erchen has seen the queen mother, and I heard that the queen mother is unwell, I don't know if she is better?" Shen Lianyue saluted.

The queen couldn't sleep all night and had a headache. Mama Liu is rubbing the corners of her forehead. "No problem! Get up! ”

"Queen Mother, my son has a happy event to tell you!" Shen Lianyue knew that the queen was not in the mood to talk to her at this time, so she went straight to the point.

"What's the matter?" Uncle Guo's matter made her anxious, even if she heard her say that it was a happy event, her face did not change much.

"Erchen is pregnant, and the doctor diagnosed it yesterday!"

The queen pushed Mama Liu away and asked, "Really?" ”

"After returning to my mother, it's true!"

"Good, good! It is indeed a great event! The queen's face was filled with joy.

"Queen Mother, you think it's a happy event, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't think so!" Speaking of this, Shen Lianyue looked aggrieved! "Yesterday, Erchen told His Highness that His Highness has no joy at all!"

The queen remembered that the mother and son broke up unhappily yesterday, and believed Shen Lianyue's words. "The queen mother turned back and said to him, don't take it to heart. He will rejoice. ”

"Queen Mother, the sons know! Now the prince is the prince of a country, and thousands of eyes are staring, and he can't get out of the pool at all! If the retainers can't help, how can they be angry with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because of these trivial things! That's just right in front of you! Shen Lianyue said casually, but in the ears of the queen, it was mixed.

Isn't it, my brother can't help, and now he's in such a big trouble!

"Queen Mother, don't laugh at your son! In fact, Erchen was very scared in his heart, afraid that he would say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing, and cause trouble for the prince! Now that the crown prince is walking like ice, his sons can't make trouble for him. ”

Shen Lianyue looked at the queen and said with a smile, looking harmless.

The queen looked at her to see if she knew anything, and always felt that she meant something.

Shen Lianyue was calm.

After staying in the queen's palace for a while, he returned to the East Palace after receiving many rewards. From beginning to end, I didn't mention anything about Uncle Guo.

Seeing Shen Lianyue away, the queen seriously thought about what he meant. Is there really no way?

The prison of the Criminal Department.

Zhao Qiruixi did not return to his house yesterday, and he came to the prison of the Criminal Department after retiring from the dynasty this morning.

"Go and bring the left path!"

This night, Zuo Dao's son cried wolf and howled, and Zuo Dao was distressed when he listened. I didn't see anyone come to save me, and I panicked.

"What this king asked you about yesterday, can you think it out this night?" Zhao Qirui's tone was cold.

"Lord Wang! The prince is telling the truth! ”

"Huh! The teeth are really hard! Go drag it out! As soon as Zhao Qirui gave the order, Zuo Dao's son was dragged out of the prison, covered in blood and his hair scattered.

"Son! How are you? Zuo Dao hurriedly crawled over to see how he was.

"Daddy... I'm dying of pain... All over the body..."Zuo Dao's son has weak energy, and he has long lost the strength of the night.

Zhao Qirui is wearing court clothes today, and he looks even more majestic than yesterday.

"Go on! This king wants to see if your mouth is hard or this king's torture instrument is hard! The corners of Zhao Qirui's mouth raised slightly, disdainful of looking at him.

Changfeng took the splint, put it on the toe of his son on the left side, and slammed it hard.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! After shouting three times, he fell to the ground, trembling all over.

"Son, child, ......" Zuo Dao's heart was like a knife, and he hated to suffer for him.

After the long wind clamps the toes, the fingers that are converted, and I just want to use it hard after putting it on!

"I say! I say! I said, Lord Wang! Spare him, he doesn't know anything! Zuo Dao, who was crying bitterly, couldn't bear the pain of his son's heart, and gritted his teeth to stop Changfeng.

Changfeng took off the splint: "Why suffer this sin if you said it earlier!" Say it! ”

Zuo Dao knows that if he says it, there will be no way to live, but he is afraid that his son will not even be able to survive today.

"The small one started selling smuggled salt two years ago, and it was originally a silk cloth business, but the year before last, I accidentally learned that selling smuggled salt made more money than selling cloth, so I transported some from Yangzhou and sold it quietly, and it was only a few dozen catties at a time, and I didn't dare to do more." Zuo Dao recalled what had happened in the past few years and said it all.

"Yangzhou to the capital by waterway is the fastest, but the investigation is also strict, last year the small one was found to be smuggling smuggled salt and put in prison. I thought I was going to eat prison for a few years, but who knew that a noble man came and rescued the little one! ”
