Chapter 57: Sadness
"Ahhh......h Yes! Yun Shu sent a bowl of chicken soup in his hand to Qiao Wei, his face became very anxious, and he forced Qiao Wei to drink it.
Qiao Wei couldn't help it, so she could only put down the ginger tea in her hand and drank the chicken soup with a clatter, but when she put a bowl of chicken soup and drank it clean, Qiao Wei's thoughts in her heart no longer had any hatred, she was grateful that there was someone in front of her to take care of her, instead of her hiding here alone and licking her wounds.
"Yun Shu, Miao Xi, you go and rest, it's okay for me to be alone! Go down! With Xia Yinbing's calm order, Miao Xi and Yun Shu in front of them finally went down because of the medicinal power, and the room was quiet again.
Xia Yinbing lifted her skirt, looked at her bulging abdomen, grinned, and finally covered her skirt, silently locked the door, hung a string of wind chimes, put the chair at the door, and lay down alone wearing clothes and covering the quilt, she has been sleeping very poorly recently, her face is pale, and she almost can't sleep well.
Qiao Wei can sleep for a few hours for a short time, and thanks to the blessing of this child, he can always get rid of some nightmares, which Qiao Wei herself did not expect.
At this time, the inside of the palace, everything seems to be calm on the surface, but the inside is turbulent, the old emperor at this time began to take charge of the government again, and the king of southern Xinjiang did the government for a while, and finally it was obediently handed over to the old emperor.
At this time, Nan Yan Lie, the king of Southern Xinjiang, was happy for a few days, and the smile on his face immediately couldn't hang up, although the old emperor was sick for a while, but the last imperial power was still firmly controlled by him, and the king of Southern Xinjiang was just addicted, and in the end, before the butt was hot, the person was driven down by the old emperor, so the current Nan Yan Lie's face was very unnatural, although he had tried his best to disguise himself as ordinary, but it looked very uncomfortable.
"Rank, now that my body is better and my spirit is recovering well, if you still have anything to report, you can tell me in time!"
The old emperor sat on the high seat, looking at a group of people standing under the stage, very peculiar, the people in front of him, one by one, were silent or lowered their heads and did not speak, which made people look very embarrassed!
"You don't have anything to report, but I have something very festive to share with you now, my noble lady is pregnant, and I will soon have a prince! This is the youngest child I have ever gotten, and I am the old man! The old emperor looked at the people in front of him and said proudly.
"Congratulations to my father!"
"Congratulations to the emperor!" A group of people knelt on the ground in unison, looked at the old emperor in front of them, and kept congratulating.
"Aiqing, please get up, this is a good thing! This is the happiest thing I've ever done in my time! You're all going to be good! After the old emperor finished speaking, he laughed happily, and the laughter was hearty, and the whole hall echoed with the laughter of the old emperor.
Nan Yanlie looked at the old emperor in front of him who was smiling from ear to ear, the curvature of his lips deepened, his hands were slightly behind his back, he didn't speak, he lowered his head and looked at the ground, there was such a steaming scene all morning, it was really a rare phenomenon.
When the old emperor walked out in the morning, the entire harem was also boiling, and many concubines came to Changle Palace with gifts, looking at the noble people beside the virtuous concubine in front of them.
"Noble sister, this is the imperial doctor brought by my sister, he is well versed in the maintenance and fetal protection of pregnant women, why don't you let the imperial doctor brought by my sister show you?"
A sound that seemed to be there came, Nan Yanlie squinted his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, but the imperial doctor behind this woman had already walked in front of Ying Guiren, after Nan Yanlie saw it, his first reaction was to rescue the woman in front of him, but when Nan Yanlie wanted to react.
The red-clothed concubine had already brought the imperial doctor to the front of the Ying nobles, and at this time, the imperial doctors had already knelt in front of everyone, ready to take the pulse of the Ying nobles sitting next to the virtuous concubines.
Nan Yanlie's eyes deepened, and when he was about to find a way to take away the imperial doctor beside the red-clothed concubine in front of him, the virtuous concubine who was on the main throne at this time smiled: "Okay, then ask the imperial doctor brought by my sister to show the noble Ying!" ”
Nan Yanlie's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, looking at the fearless concubine in front of him, a lot of thoughts flashed in his mind, but he still hid his worried and panicked look in time, and drank with his sleeves held high to hide his embarrassment.
"Doctor Tai, you come over to take your sister's pulse and see how the fetus is, and you will be directly responsible for your sister's fetal safety in the future!" Before the red-clothed concubine finished speaking, the virtuous concubine on the side immediately changed her face.
"Sister, this kind of thing, it's not your turn to arrange it, it's just that, this imperial doctor doesn't need it, after all, Ying Guiren is also my person, so don't bother my sister, let's step back, there's no need here!" Concubine Xian still had a smile on her face, but the red-clothed concubine on the opposite side couldn't hang up, and left with the imperial doctor directly, it was obvious that the red-clothed concubine would soon run to Queen Su's side, and she always hugged the big tree to enjoy the shade in the harem, and those concubines who lived independently had long become marginal figures, I don't know how long the old emperor had forgotten to be moldy in the corner of the palace, and always had to hold the most romantic figure in the palace to have the opportunity to appear in front of the emperor, get the emperor's attention, and have the opportunity to sleep in the future, There will be a flashing opportunity to leave an impression in the old emperor's mind, although it is very sad, but this is one of the phenomena of harem survival.
The trick of competing for favor has never been something you can't think of, you can't do it without you, the harem concubines who have no background and no strength always need to have their own way of survival, become the henchmen of the concubines of the harem, and become the gunners used by others, although this is also very low-level, but it is also a means to compete for the upper position, and this is the reason why the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.
Nan Yanlie, the king of southern Xinjiang, who had already arrived one step ahead of the old emperor, looked at the bustling scene in front of him, and did not have any impact at all because of the departure of a red-clothed concubine, everyone was still talking and laughing, at this time there was a hearty laughter in the distance, and the virtuous concubine and the king of southern Xinjiang stood up at the same time, and all the people around them surrounded them.
"Meet the Emperor!" And they all fell on their knees.
"Get up! Today, I just came to see Ying Guiren, Ying'er, don't kneel down, your body is important, sit down quickly! The old emperor took Ying'er beside him and sat down.
"Your Majesty, this is the hibiscus cake made by Ying'er, you can try it!" Ying'er took a piece of hibiscus cake and sent it to the old emperor, and said delicately.
"Okay, good, Ying'er sent it, of course I want to eat it!" After the old emperor finished speaking, he directly ate the hibiscus cake sent by Ying'er, and within half an hour, the old emperor interacted with Ying'er throughout the whole process, without even looking at the virtuous concubine and other concubines around him, Nan Yanlie looked at them one by one, just lowered his head and drank, and didn't say anything.
When a group of people had finished walking and the old emperor had left, Nan Yanlie walked directly in front of Ying'er, grabbed Ying'er's wrist, paused for a moment, and threw Ying'er in front of him to the ground: "Are you pregnant?" ”
Ying'er was thrown directly to the ground, and immediately knelt on the ground, with a rare fear on her face, she looked at Concubine Xian on the side in horror, and kept begging for mercy: "Concubine Xian, you must help Ying'er explain clearly!" Please, otherwise the prince will take the villain's life! ”
"You don't have to make a fuss, it's the kind of wild man I found for her, you don't have to worry about which man it is, this man has long been out of this world since Ying'er was pregnant, and no one knows about this matter except for you and me and Ying'er."
Nan Yanlie took half a step back, looking at the mother concubine Ruan Hongmei in front of him, he was really shocked in his heart, but he still kept calm and waited for Concubine Xian to continue.
"Don't blame the mother for not telling you, you didn't tell the mother all the things, what do you say? Yan Lie? Concubine Xian looked at Nan Yanlie in front of her and smiled extraordinarily brightly.
"Queen mother, the child has been working hard in southern Xinjiang for more than ten years, and it took a lot of effort to rescue you, our mother and son are finally together with you now, are you still suspicious that your child is not filial to you, or are you dissatisfied with me for hiding something from you?" Nan Yanlie looked at Concubine Xian and asked directly.
"The mother concubine will not harm you, do all this, know everything about you, and hope to help you, so that you can ascend to the throne as soon as possible and become the emperor! You have to understand the hard work of the queen mother! Concubine Xian stood up, walked into Nan Yanlie, stretched out her right hand to caress Nan Yanlie's face, and said sensationally.
"Queen Mother, you can toss inside the palace according to your plan, as long as you can keep your position from being pushed down, the child's position, you will fight for it, the child hides something from you, and it is also to protect you, in case you are assassinated by Queen Su's people, and your father is arrested again, and you are beaten into a trick, you can't help but confess all the child's hard work for more than ten years, this is not a disaster for you?"
"At least, you don't know anything, the strength outside the child is a threat to everyone, and no one dares to disadvantage you, what do you say?" Nan Yanlie looked at the virtuous concubine in front of him and said.
"Speaking of which, apart from yourself, you don't even trust your mother." Concubine Xian looked at the king of southern Xinjiang in front of her, this child she had not raised for more than ten years, and now when the two stood together again, she found that the estrangement was so profound, she never cared about what he liked, whether she had been bullied over the years, whether she had been bullied, everything, she had never taken the initiative to care.
"In the past ten years, the mother concubine has left you, she doesn't care enough about you, and she doesn't know your preferences, the mother can't stand you, you have grown up and your wings are hard, the mother concubine will not bother you, nor will she become an obstacle to you, you can rest assured, the mother concubine, will remove the obstacles in the harem for you, and remove the obstacles for your accession to the throne, even if I fail, it will definitely not affect you and make you embarrassed!"
Concubine Xian's eyes immediately darkened, and the whole person no longer looked so glamorous, and the whole person looked a lot older again, and the posture of the hostess in front of her son suddenly became half a cut shorter.
"Mother, you rest early, the child retires!" Nan Yan Lie, the king of Southern Xinjiang, arched his hand and retreated after speaking.
Soon, Ying'er quickly followed and took the initiative to run in front of Nan Yanlie: "Master, do you report to you the whereabouts of Concubine Xian Niangniang in time, it has always been Niangniang who did not let the news be leaked, so I have never taken the initiative to report to you, this time Ying'er has learned a lesson, and any things about Concubine Xian Niangniang in the future must be informed to you in time to ensure the safety of Concubine Xian." ”
Nan Yanlie looked at Ying'er in front of him for a long time, pondered for a long time, and nodded: "Your duty is to protect the safety of my mother's concubine, and if you have any news in the future, inform me in time." ”
"Yes, master!" Ying'er bowed her head and said.
Nan Yan Lie turned around and left Changle Palace directly, and walked towards the outside of the palace, at this time, the breeze and bright moon, the cold wind was blowing in his face, Nan Yan Lie looked at the night in front of him, and then turned to look at the place where the old emperor of the Palace Yang Xin Hall lived, and a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes.
At this time, in the Kunning Palace of the harem, Queen Su was lying on the bed with a pale face, and sitting opposite was Nan Xuanye and the crown princess Song Yanran with a straight stomach.
"Queen Mother, is your body better, since the last time there was a sneak attack in the palace, you fought with the killer, and when you came back, you were bedridden, I heard Lianying say, your body has not been very good, the child came to see you!" The crown prince Nan Yanlie looked at Queen Su in front of him and said.
"It's okay, the queen mother can't die, but you, your chest has recently burst another wound, I heard that it has an inseparable relationship with Nan Yanlie's kid, you went crazy to ride a horse in the Hundred Beast Garden, but you were thrown to the ground by the horse, and almost died under the horse's hooves, and Nan Yanlie's kid saved you, but your wound collapsed, but he wanted to listen to your angry words, insisted on not bandaging you immediately and asking a doctor, if it wasn't for Cheng Yu, I'm afraid you would be played to death by others!"
Queen Su said that she was weird and didn't want to say anything, but when she opened the chatterbox, the words she said were always poisonous, so that the face of the prince in front of her Nan Xuanye was immediately unbearable, and she began to get a little angry: "Queen Mother, it's all the child's fault, don't be angry!" ”
Nan Xuanye didn't bother to explain anything, and directly admitted his mistakes, after all, the more explanations he explained, it would only attract more scolding from Queen Su, so it was better to admit his mistakes directly than to justify.
"You yourself are not afraid of death, what does the queen mother have to say, you don't value your own life, and you plan to persuade the queen mother bitterly to persuade you, is it useful, will you listen?"
"Also, the wound on your chest is Xia Yinbing's woman's hand, what are you going to do? Why don't you go after her? Your father doesn't care, there are still people around your mother who can be used, why haven't you seen any movement now? ”
Crown Princess Song Yanran looked at Tai Nan Xuanye in front of her, staring at his expression, watching his every move, hoping to see some clues from it, but she didn't see anything, Nan Xuanye didn't have any expression.
"Put a long line to catch a big fish, queen mother, you don't feel that this matter is simple, and now you can only catch her alone if you catch Xia Yinbing back without authorization, what's the point? It's better for us to attract the big fish behind us through Xia Yinbing alone, everything between us will take a while, please bear with us! ”
Nan Xuanye looked at Queen Su in front of her and said.
"But she has brought you such a big influence, you can only let her go back and forth like this, won't it be too cheap for her!" Crown Princess Song Yanran couldn't help but say.
"Cheap her? How could it be, she owes me always let her vomit it with interest, there are not so many free things in the world, where can she jump with a big belly now? Xiao Wang, I just want to see how long she and the people behind her can jump! After Nan Xuanye finished speaking, he looked down at the layers of gauze wrapped around his chest, and his face was clouded.
The crown princess Song Yanran received the signal of Queen Su's shaking of her head, and stopped talking in time, she knew that the crown prince Nan Xuanye was not a vegetarian, and was calculated by the woman he liked, and she was always awkward in her heart, and she couldn't force her to ask anymore.
"Queen Mother, how long has it been since my father came to your Kunning Palace to see you?" Prince Nan Xuanye suddenly asked Queen Su.
"I haven't seen it in a long time, what's wrong? As long as you are well, it doesn't matter if he comes or not, can he still do anything to the queen mother? Queen Su looked at the crown prince Nan Xuanye in front of her and said.
"Queen Mother, a girl next to Concubine Xian, has the flesh and blood of her father, you must have heard about it!" Nan Xuanye looked at Queen Su in front of her and asked.
Let them toss, this palace has no time, no time and no physical strength now, now you and Yanran, and your children are the things that this palace cares about the most, and the others don't care about it, and they don't want to care!" Empress Su was resolute and obviously said that she didn't want to discuss this matter any more.
Nan Xuanye looked at the attitude of Queen Su in front of him and stopped talking, the scene was quiet and embarrassed for a while, Nan Xuanye struggled to stand up and began to walk out.
"The queen mother should rest early, and the child will return to the East Palace now." After the crown prince Nan Xuanye finished speaking, he began to walk out, and the crown princess Song Yanran held her stomach and began to walk out.
"Stop, spend more time with your mother, don't leave today, have dinner with your mother, this is not too much to ask!" Empress Su looked at the crown prince Nan Xuanye in front of her and said.
"Okay." After the crown prince Nan Xuanye finished speaking, he walked back directly again, and was about to walk directly into Queen Su's side, and wanted to help Queen Su get up, but Queen Su in front of him pushed Nan Xuanye in front of him.
"Your own wounds haven't healed yet, don't care about the queen mother anymore, this palace can do it!" After Queen Su finished speaking, Lianying, who had been guarding beside her, immediately walked out and helped Queen Su to stand up.
"Queen Mother, dinner has been placed outside the door, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess can go out and have dinner together!" Lotus Ying said as she helped Queen Su.
"Okay, then you go out together, this palace will freshen up and change clothes, and I will go out to find you in a while!" After Queen Su finished speaking, she sat in front of the dressing mirror.
When Nan Xuanye and the crown princess Song Yanran accompanied Queen Su to finish dinner together, it was a full hour before Nan Xuanye and his party returned to the East Palace, and it was already the bright moon hanging high at this time.
