On the first day of August, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

Liu Ruohua's sword dance attracted Xiong Yan's frequent sideways, and naturally, after the banquet was dispersed, she returned to the palace with Xiong Yan, and tonight's quota went to her head.

After Wu Yunzhao returned to the Lizheng Palace, he washed away the smell of wine and sat in the hall with Ziyan, waiting for Xiaoshun to return.

Today, Xiong Hao, who is the emperor's uncle, also came to the banquet, and he was drunk and stayed in the palace under the pretext of staying in the palace. After he and Han Rongjia saw Xiong Yan and Liu Ruohua leave, they met and mingled after a while.

Wu Yunzhao always paid attention to these two people, and when he saw that the two of them were showing signs of something, he immediately sent Xiaoshun to follow them.

Ziyan looked at the candlelight, yawned, and said, "Sister Queen, it's all too late, why hasn't Xiaoshun come back yet?" Will it be discovered? ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Xiaoshun is quite clever, and he didn't let him catch the traitor, but he just watched secretly, there should be no accident." Yan'er, if you are sleepy, go to sleep. ”

Ziyan shook her head and said, "In recent days, I have slept too much during the day, and my spirit is fine at night, so stay for a while." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Okay, it's good that you have your own measure." ”

As soon as the words fell, the two heard hurried footsteps outside, and Xiaoshun came back.

Wu Yunzhao asked, "Xiaoshun, how is it?" ”

Xiao Shun said: "Back to the queen mother, Yan Cairen, King Chengping and Concubine De just finished their work, and they went back to the palace." I wiped the sweat on my forehead, but my heart was still pounding. Peeping at the prince's affairs, Xiaoshun also beat the drum in his heart, after all, if he is discovered, he must be worried about his life, maybe he will be broken by the prince on the spot.

Wu Yunzhao said with a smile: "The two of them are really happy, it has been more than an hour since the banquet was dispersed." ”

How dare Xiao Shun elaborate on those dirty things in front of the queen and keep silent.

Ziyan said: "In the past month, King Chengping has not entered the palace much, and His Majesty has never been to Concubine De. Hide your face and chuckle.

Wu Yunzhao ignored the little girl's ridicule and asked, "Xiaoshun, have you found any other clues?" ”

Xiao Shun blinked and said, "Back to Niangniang, King Chengping and Concubine De didn't talk about anything else." It's also very embarrassing to say, and my mouth is a little soft.

Wu Yunzhao said in his heart: "Xiong Hao looks majestic and has the appearance of an emperor, but I didn't expect that he is also a womanizer and a shameless person, seeing that his daughter can't move, he doesn't even talk about any serious things, it's a waste of manpower." He secretly scolded the incompetents of the Xiong family and said, "Xiaoshun, go down first, today's incident should be treated as if it didn't happen." ”

After Xiaoshun left, Ziyan asked, "Sister Queen, why didn't you just arrest them?" ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Silly girl, there is only such an imperial uncle left in the royal family, and the first emperor is such a brother, unless he commits the crime of rebellion, even if he hooks up with others again, the Queen Mother and His Majesty will not want his life, at most a few words of admonition, and secretly deal with the woman who has an affair with him." The royal face is not to be disgraced. ”

Ziyan said: "Alas, what is the truth of this, a woman's life is not a life." stroked the slightly bulging, not very clear lower abdomen, and said: "I have to give birth to a son, in the palace, the princess's life is not very good, either marry a minister, or marry far away, it is easy to marry the person you like." ”

Wu Yunzhao said with a smile: "It's okay to have children and daughters, with the protection of this palace, she can still be wronged." Yan'er, endure it for another half a month, and wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so you don't have to hide it, let's surprise Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, the icing on the cake, and take the opportunity to mention your position"

Ziyan said: "Everything is arranged by the queen's sister." After thinking about it, he said: "It's okay to cover it up like this, and when the big guy knows, it's exactly three months, the fetal breath is stable, and there are fewer worries." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Yes, it is difficult for the children in the palace to survive, and it is even more difficult to be born." ”

In the past few days, several Jieyu, beauties, and talented people have had miscarriages one after another, and the methods are so ruthless and quick to start are outrageous.

Ziyan was motherly, and when her emotions fluctuated and changed, she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes after listening to Wu Yunzhao's words, and said: "I really don't know what's good about the royal family, the lives of these princes and princesses are not as good as the cats and dogs running around on the streets outside the palace. As he spoke, he eagerly held Wu Yunzhao's hand and begged: "Sister Queen, you must catch the person who killed the emperor's heir, and you can't let her hurt people again." ”

Wu Yunzhao gently patted the back of Ziyan's hand, pulled out his hand, walked to Ziyan's side, helped her, and said as he walked: "Yan'er, don't worry, that person won't be arrogant for long, and when I collect the evidence, I will take her immediately." You put your heart in your stomach, and my sister promises that you will never tolerate such wicked people. He pressed Ziyan lightly on the head of the bed, and said softly: "I'm tired today, rest early, no one dares to be presumptuous in the Lizheng Palace." ”

Pregnancy is sensitive, and it took a while for Ziyan to close her eyes and fall asleep under Wu Yunzhao's company and unraveling.

Looking at Ziyan's more and more soft and loving sleeping face, Wu Yunzhao said in his heart: "Are people who become mothers so soft-hearted? Knowing that the system is ruthless and can't answer such a question, he thought to himself for a while, determined never to be a mother for the rest of his life, and never to show his weak side, clenched his fists, returned to the hall, and called Xiao Shun, who was waiting at the door, to come in again.
