Two days later, the gates of the capital finally reopened, and the people who had been nervous for several days finally breathed a sigh of relief.

is also relieved, as well as the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.

A few days ago, there was gossip that the reason why the Flying Fish Guard came out of the nest was not to arrest any rebels, but to look for the emperor, and the emperor was gone.

Of course, this is just gossip, and no one admits that he sent the news.

Although this news is secret, but Mao Yuanmei's punishment after his death is a big fanfare, the double-sided drum made of human skin is at the gate of Jingzhao Yamen, and I heard that Mao Yuanmei's people have eaten a kind of meat foam, which is made of Mao Yuanmei's life root, and Mao Yuanjiu eats the most, and the eunuchs from the palace are watching on the side, and he can't eat it if he wants to.

As a result, all kinds of conjectures have sprung up, and they are like a hundred flowers blooming, competing for beauty.

With the opening of the city gate, news finally came from the palace that the emperor was in good health!

The emperor is sick, so the emperor has not been in the morning court for many days, whether you believe it or not, tell me to believe it!

As for what kind of illness the emperor had, outsiders had no way of knowing, and the hospital was silent.

The emperor's illness was menacing and lingering for many days, which reminded the courtiers of the prince back then, the emperor's father, the poor man who had been the prince all his life and was posthumously named emperor by his son after his death.

The prince was frail and sickly since he was a child, and he was also sick when he grew up.

But when today's son is soaked in a honey pot, although he has been pampered, but since he was a child, there has been no news of illness, in the image, his dragon body has been healthy, whether it is when he is the emperor's grandson, or after ascending the throne as the emperor.

Of course, even if he is sick, the Empress Dowager will not let people know.

He had to be different from his father, he had to be as strong and strong as Emperor Taizu had when he was a teenager, but because he was too young and the Empress Dowager was pampered by him, he didn't have a pro-government.

But now, the little emperor finally fell ill, and the disease came as soon as he said it, but he didn't say he would leave.

Although the emperor was sick, there was good news in the palace.

In the third month of the emperor's illness, the news of Mao Guifei's pregnancy finally came out in the palace.

Count the days, it was conceived before the emperor fell ill.

There is a special person in the palace to record the time and number of times the concubine sleeps, for most of the year, the emperor has only been fortunate to Mao Guifei, just before the emperor fell ill, and stayed in Mao Guifei's Yuehua Palace for many days.

Congratulations, after Concubine Lin Shufei's child died last time, good news finally came out in the palace.

But this good news did not make the sick emperor better, and on the sixth day of February of the following year, the mountain collapsed!

The city is full of vegetarians, the long street is crying, and the Great Qi Dynasty has sent away three emperors in just over ten years.

In the Yuehua Palace, Concubine Mao, who was sent back from crying in front of the coffin, slowly opened her eyes, she touched her stuffed belly, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"The queen has arrived!"

Concubine Mao sat up, she was five months pregnant, her body was bulky, and when she saw the queen walk in, she struggled to give the queen a salute.

The queen said lightly: "You take your body, you don't have to be polite." ”

As she spoke, the queen looked at the palace maids in a room and said, "You all go out, the palace feels uncomfortable and wants to say a few words to the concubine." ”

After everyone had withdrawn, the queen said, "You are pretending to be a little too much, a five-month-old pregnant woman is not as bulky as you." ”

Mao Guifei smiled and asked, "Has the child been found?" ”

The queen said: "In the courtyard outside the city, there are now five daughters-in-law of the Yang family, all of whom are about the same month as you. ”

The smile on Concubine Mao's face faded, and a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes: "Alas, there are five more unjust souls." ”

Regardless of which of these five women eventually gave birth to a child, all five of them were to die.

As for the children who were not selected, whether they were male or female, they were all flesh and blood of the Yang family, and although they did not have their biological mothers, they would also grow up under the wings of their fathers and grandmothers.

It's just that their biological mothers are suffering, they are not even concubines, they are either maids or outer rooms, they are like a drop of water in the sun, disappearing without a trace, as if they never came.

The queen smiled coldly, with a mocking face: "You are still worried about yourself, do you think that after giving birth to the prince, you can still survive?" ”

Concubine Mao smiled again, and she said, "Queen Mother, didn't we think of all this at the beginning?" Don't forget, in this strategy, if there is no queen mother, it is difficult to do it by relying on the concubine alone, and how can the concubine's ability be compared to the queen mother. ”

The queen's heart sank, and Concubine Mao was blackmailing her.

What do you mean by that? This palace doesn't need you to remind you. A fierce look flashed in the queen's eyes.

"Alas, the concubine is just worried that the queen mother will forget the agreement between you and me that day", speaking of this, the smile on the side of Mao Guifei's mouth disappeared, her appearance was extremely charming, but at this moment, it made people shudder, "Queen Mother, I don't want to die, you are the queen mother, and my biological mother of the emperor will naturally be named the queen mother, but it will definitely be one level lower than you, at that time, you are still high, and I am still the concubine in front of you." But at that time, the Empress Dowager is still above you and me, she is the sky, you and I are all flowing clouds at her fiddling, her old man sneezes, and we disappear, Queen Mother, do you say yes? “

The queen gritted her teeth, Concubine Mao was right, she didn't want to face the Queen Mother alone, but at this time, it was time to face it.

As Mao Guifei said, this matter is indeed the handiwork of her and Mao Guifei.

When Concubine Mao found her and wanted to cooperate with her, she agreed.

Through the filial piety clothes on her body, one of the queen's hands was pressed on her forearm, and there were scars on her forearm, which she cut with a knife.

But since the emperor left the palace, she has never been cut.

The last wound on her arm had healed, but the scars remained on her arm forever, deep and shallow, like earthworms coiled around her white and slender arms, just like everything that had ever happened, like that hateful man, in her heart, in her memory, lingering, forever hurting her.

"You want Hongu to save your life? What if the palace can't be saved? The queen said.

Go to the mother and keep the son, this is the history of the birth, the biological flesh and blood are still like this, not to mention, even the empress dowager knows that Mao Guifei is not pregnant at all, her belly is fake, her dragon species is also fake, and her son will be a maidservant of the Yang family or an outer room!
