Huang Fu Yong is an old medical officer in his fifties, with a kind face and a gray goatee on his chin. He held the porcelain pillow in one hand and the pulse through the red silk in the other, squinting as if he was really analyzing my pulse.

After a while, he opened his eyes and smiled at me, "Queen Mother, it's okay." ”

I smiled at him and nodded, and said politely gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work, medical officer." ”

"The minister should do it." Huangfu Yong accepted the red silk and small porcelain pillows, carried the medicine box and bowed to the center of the hall, and saluted the emperor and the queen mother.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, His Majesty the Emperor, the Empress Dowager's body is normal, and there is no major problem."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart. hurriedly glanced at Cuiyun and Du Ruo on the side, and the two of them were also surprised.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but smile proudly and asked, "Is there really nothing unusual at all?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is in good health and has not been sick."

"Huangfu Yong, it's not to ask you if you're sick, it's to ask you if the queen's body is abnormal." Emperor Qi Yan once again confirmed with Huangfu Yong: "The queen is really normal. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is normal." Huangfu coughed, and then said, "Just like an ordinary pregnant woman, everything is normal. ”

Hearing Huangfu panting and talking about pregnancy, the big stone I lifted in my throat could finally be put down easily. I turned my head to look, Cuiyun and Du Ruo, and smiled at the two, but the smiles they gave me in response were somewhat embarrassing.

When the Queen Mother heard the news, she was immediately furious.

"You old doctor, why are you panting so much when you speak? Have you taken your pulse? The Queen Mother pointed to the medical officer Huang Fu Yong and reconfirmed without giving up.

Huangfu knelt on the ground and responded very firmly: "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the minister dares to guarantee with the head of the Xiang, the Queen Mother is really pregnant with Liujia." ”

Emperor Qi Yan also believed Huang Fu Yong's words, and looked at me more gently, even with a touch of guilt. I smiled at his gaze, wondering what his expression would be when the truth was revealed.

Hearing Huangfu Yong's categorical response, the Queen Mother completely lost the position, and on the chair, she collapsed suddenly.

Shu Meiren and Song Meiren on the side were angry and red, and the other was sad, only Emperor Qi Yan remained calm.

"Alright, you go down."

Emperor Qi Yan waved his hand and sent the medical officer Huang Fu Yong away. Turning his head, the emperor said to me again: "Empress, since you are already pregnant, you should walk slower in the future, and you must not run anymore." ”

I waved my hand and motioned to Du Ruo and Cuiyun on the side, and the two maids stepped forward to help me stand up slowly.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the concubines will definitely protect our children well." My gentle tone sounded a little disgusting to myself, and the two beauties on the side must have been very annoyed.

"You two help the queen to rest, wait for it, and later, Lone will go to Jingtai Palace to see the queen."

"Yes."

Du Ruo and Cui Yun took the emperor's order, supported me and walked out carefully, and just after walking a few steps, I saw the national teacher Su Kun walking in with an ugly face.

Su Kun saw me and saluted me, and I nodded at him, which was considered to have been said hello.

"Niangniang, do you want to hear it?" Cui Yun helped me and muttered, "It's good to know how things are going." ”

I waved my hand and said calmly, "Let's go back to the palace first." ”

"Yes."

After walking far away from Jingxi Palace, I signaled that Du Ruo and Cuiyun didn't need to support them anymore.

"You really don't have to be happy when I am happy, even if I am happy, I don't have to be so careful about the body of this palace." I got rid of Du Ruo and Cuiyun's support, and walked in the corridor alone, "By the way, Cuiyun, that Huangfu Yong, how much money did you spend?" ”

I suddenly remembered that the palace doctor was coming, so I asked casually: "This old doctor is really responsible, and he even said the words of the head guarantee on the item, the palace is really grateful to this medical officer." ”

"Mother." Cuiyun came to my side with some hesitation and whispered: "Niangniang, this medical officer named Huangfu Yong is not the one I was looking for." ”

After speaking, Cuiyun looked up at Du Ruo, and I also looked at Du Ruo, Du Ruo blinked his eyes, and said innocently: "It's not what I was looking for." ”

"Ah, that's weird, how could he be willing to tell such a big lie? Who is looking for it? ”

"Could it be Guardian Ye?" Du Ruo guessed on the side: "Ye Huwei has always been erratic, and he is ......."

"Ahem." I coughed lightly a few times, and Du Ruo immediately closed his mouth. Cui Yun's eyes on the side were sharp, and she hurriedly saluted forward: "Meet Princess Ping, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Du Ruo immediately turned around and saluted. Pingwang Fei Pei Jingqiu pulled Xiao Shizi Qi Yuan, and also bowed to me.

I nodded at her, as well, to greet her.

"The queen mother is really good." Pei Jingqiu said to me expressionlessly: "Borrowing a knife to kill someone, whether it succeeds or fails, the queen is the final winner." ”

I didn't say anything about Pei Jingqiu, I just looked down at the little Shizi Qi Yuan beside her.

"It's not easy for Princess Ping, a woman with a child. Qi Yuan, you have to honor your mother when you grow up, but you can't let her worry about labor anymore, otherwise, it will be easy to hurt yourself. ”

"Well, thank you for the queen's teachings, Qi Yuan must treat her mother well and will not let anyone hurt her." Xiao Qi's wish seems to be a sincere response, but to me, it sounds a bit of antagonistic gunpowder.

"Really? That's great, but Qi Yuan, you also have to protect yourself, if you can't protect yourself, how can you protect your mother? When I said this, I was a little surprised that I had threatened a young child.

However, Qi Yuan didn't seem to understand, and still smiled and thanked me for reminding me. Princess Pei Jingqiu, the princess of Ping on the side, immediately understood the meaning of my words, hurriedly grabbed her son, looked at me in horror, and asked in a trembling voice: "You, what do you want to do?" ”

I straightened my waist, looked around the surrounding scenery, and exclaimed: "There was a good rain last night, and now it is clear, if Princess Ping is waiting for the emperor to leave Jingxi Palace, I think it should be okay at this moment." ”

Pei Jingqiu squinted, gritted her teeth and said, "Queen, you are really ruthless enough." ”

Turning around, I smiled at Princess Ping Pei Jingqiu and said, "It's not that the palace is ruthless, it's His Majesty the Emperor who is too ruthless, and it is you who force His Majesty the Emperor to be too ruthless." After speaking, I smiled at Xiao Qiyuan again: "What a good child." ”

I waved my hand, and Du Ruo and Cuiyun came to my approach, supporting me left and right. I looked at Pei Jingqiu, who looked nervous, and said enviously: "Princess Ping, if there is such a smart and lovely son in this palace, she will definitely be very satisfied, and she will never set herself on fire for some unrealistic extravagant hopes." ”

Pei Jingqiu held Qi Yuan's head with both hands, and glared at me fiercely. "Yu Wenxuan, if you dare to move a single hair, even if I Pei Jingqiu takes this life, I won't be able to spare you!"

I smiled lightly, "Contentment is always happy, you just need to remember this sentence, this palace will ensure that your mother and son are safe for a while, rich and glorious." After speaking, I put my hand on Du Ruo and Cuiyun's hands and turned to leave.

Although I didn't look back, I could still feel Pei Jingqiu's gaze behind me, like a knife, staring coldly at my back.

After all, I became a bad person, a bad person who used rules and people's hearts as tools.

At the gate of Jingtai Palace, Yutang is looking forward to my return. When they saw me appear, they immediately rushed over.

I looked up and happened to see Yu Mo also at the door, so I gave Du Ruo a look, Du Ruo understood, walked forward, said a few words to Yu Mo, and took her elsewhere.

"Mother, that ......"

Yutang was about to report the situation to me, and I hurriedly reached out to stop it.

"It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk." I deliberately raised my voice, and Yutang and Cuiyun immediately became vigilant, and they both helped each other into the house together.

"Cuiyun, close the door and guard." As soon as I entered the door, I whispered to Cui Yun to take precautions, this palace is full of crescent people, and they are all the eyes and ears of Emperor Qi Yan, if you want to discuss private matters, you can only be careful and careful.

"Yutang, see if there are any other people in the house?"

"Yes."

Yutang got the order, and quickly patrolled back and forth in the house, and did not let go of the space under the bed, cabinets, etc., and saw that there was no one, so he came back to report.

I breathed a sigh of relief, sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank it alone.

"Niangniang, the matter of Yunyi Courtyard seems to have changed a little." Yutang was on the side and said lightly.

I pinched the teacup and sighed lightly: "I know, the moment this palace saw Su Kun, I knew that there must be something else." It seems that this Su Kun is really a little special. ”

"What's so special, it's just an old slippery head with mud."

Hearing someone talking above their heads, Cuiyun and Yutang immediately became vigilant, but I still sat still, and said without raising my head: "The tea is good, just brewed, come down and have a cup." ”

A fresh breeze blew overhead, and a black shadow fluttered down across from me and sat down.

"Queen Mother, how do you know that I am on the beam."

"You were also negligent, the hem of your clothes fell down, and it happened to be seen by the sun at the entrance." I glanced at the ground, "As soon as I entered the door, a sudden shadow appeared on the ground, and I told the palace that someone was on the beam." ”

"Then how does Niangniang know that Liang Shang is not a bad person?"

I smiled contemptuously and asked rhetorically, "Are you Ye Liuyun a good person?" ”

Ye Liuyun pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and couldn't help but smile, "Haha, it's not a big deal." ”

"It seems that when Yutang visited Yunyi Courtyard, you were also there?"

Ye Liuyun nodded and shook his head again. "I'm following the old man Su Kun, the national teacher, according to the order."

Ye Liuyun naturally took the cup, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it. Cuiyun and Yutang were not surprised, and went to guard the door.

"Didn't I tell you, then Su Kun doesn't have to follow anymore, what's the matter, you forgot?"

When I was alone with Ye Liuyun, I couldn't help but let go of my identity as the queen.

Ye Liuyun took a sip of tea and reminded mysteriously: "Doesn't the queen want to know, what is the relationship between Su Kun and Prince Zhao?" ”

I rolled my eyes and guessed that it wasn't that simple.

"Ye Liuyun, you just said that according to the order, whose order are you following? Is it Hongmen? ”

Ye Liuyun was stunned for a moment, then shook the cup, and said unhappily: "Alas, women are too smart, and it's not a good thing, it's too boring." ”

"What are you investigating my father for?" I pressed on.

It has been almost two months since Li Da left, but no news has come back. Even the Red Sleeve Village didn't find any effective clues, could it be that both his father and Li Da had an accident?

Thinking of this, I continued to pester Ye Liuyun and asked, "What do you know?" ”

Ye Liuyun frowned, and responded with a smile: "If I say that Prince Zhao collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, can Niangniang believe it?" ”

"Nonsense, my father is the prince of Zhao of the Great Zhou, how can he collaborate with the enemy and betray the country!?" When I heard that someone had slandered my father, I was furious. "What evidence do you have?"

Ye Liuyun shook his head, "It's just speculation at the moment, because Su Kun and King Zhao seem to have an uncommon relationship, including Niangniang's coming to the New Moon, it seems that Prince Zhao and the New Moon National Master have discussed." Ye Liuyun held the teacup, tilted his head, and said provocatively to me with the afterglow of his eyes: "What you hid from me that day should be this matter." ”

I didn't deny it, and gave him a big hat.

"It's not a concealment, because I know that your terrible curiosity will definitely find out."

Hearing that I was complimenting him, Ye Liuyun was really happy. Seeing that he was happy, I asked further, "Ye Liuyun, how did you find out that Su Kun had a relationship with his father?" Did you find any trace of your father? ”

"Well, this one, hee-hee, it's a secret." Ye Liuyun smiled slyly, changed the topic and said: "Niangniang, let's solve the current trouble first, then Mrs. Pei is very noisy in Yunyi Courtyard, so she almost demolished Yunyi Courtyard." ”

"Demolished? Hongu thought she would light the other courtyard with a fire. ”

Ye Liuyun was stunned for a moment, and looked at me as if he didn't know me, "You, the queen, are really not ordinary ruthless." ”

I smiled coldly and asked, "I'm the queen, you're the killer, which of the two of us is more ruthless?" ”

"I'm killing all bad people, so Mrs. Pei is just a little willful and competing with you for favor, so why do you want to set up a trap to harm her?"

"If she has a good heart, no matter how I set up a game, she still won't jump in, and she won't be able to hurt her." I continued to argue: "The fault is that she is too incompetent to adjust the authority of the queen, so I can only be sorry." I played with the teacup in my hand, looking at ease.

"What about the Purple Jade Girl?"

Ye Liuyun asked, I couldn't help but be stunned. Yes, I used Ziyu as bait, which is indeed a bit excessive, but what can I do, who made her the most cherished person by the emperor.
