Zhiwei and Jinxiu chatted in the house for a short time, but they were interrupted by someone from the Wangfu outside.

Zhi Wei mentioned it in her heart, and she was still a little worried about the Queen Mother's message, for fear that it would be her last move.

When she went out to take a look, she realized that the person who had come had only come to deliver something to her on the king's orders.

said that it was the meaning of the king, but in fact it was about the meaning of the emperor himself, or the little filial piety that the king sent to this little sister-in-law in advance because of the emperor's thoughts.

It's not a precious thing, it's all something that ordinary big families can use in the winter, the most of which is clothing, which looks like they were bought in a ready-to-wear shop outside, and the person who sent the things also specially told Jiang Xue and others to rush out two sets overnight to change them according to Zhiwei's figure.

There are also some food uses, and there are even a lot of tonics and medicinal herbs, and even half a box of fur is sent, which can be said to be very thoughtful and considerate.

This mighty gift-giving posture immediately aroused the onlookers of the neighbors, and aroused Xiaoling's strong jealousy.

If it weren't for the frequent sideways glances of the three of them, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to control her distorted facial expressions.

After a simple dinner and a simple freshening up, Jinxiu said timidly: "Girl, it's getting late, let's rest first." ”

Zhiwei stood in front of the door, looking at the dark sky, as if she was being fried in an oil pan, where did she have any thoughts to sleep.

In the palace wall facing the small Song Mansion from afar, no one slept.

The point of the key under the palace gate has already passed, but almost all the palaces are brightly lit, especially the Kunxu Palace directly north of the Qiande Palace, and the atmosphere is even more solemn.

Basins of blood came out of the inner room, and every palace maid had a panic on their faces, and some even cried quietly, but they were quickly stopped.

Huo Yanzhi sat on the top with a cold face, looked at the palace maids coming and going expressionlessly, and listened to the concerned words of the little concubine next to him, as if he was watching a burlesque.

Wang Dexi approached from the outside at a trot, his head was covered with snow, but his face was red, and all he was panting out was heat.

Huo Yanzhi finally spoke: "What's going on over there with Wen Meiren?" ”

Wang Dexi said: "Back to Your Majesty, Wen Meiren is still giving birth, and the midwife said that the palace mouth is not fully opened." Concubine Xian Niangniang and Chief Manager Zhao are in charge of Hanyu Palace, and there are many Niangniang to help ......"

Huo Yanyi frowned: "Let them all go back!" How can they help with having children? It's almost the same if you don't make trouble for the gentle beauty! ”

Wang Dexi received the oracle, and hurriedly trotted to Yongle Palace again.

It's not close to Kunxu Palace over there, and he knows the usual tricks of those little masters in the harem, in case it's just a while, something happens to the imperial heir on Wen Meiren's side, and His Majesty will definitely not be able to spare him.

The emperor's words were full of concubines, especially the concubines who had not been out of the palace for a long time and had come over to respond to the palace.

Since the trouble in the last confinement, she has been a lot weaker, but she has also been blessed by misfortune, and has received a lot of rewards from the emperor, and she has not punished her for the second princess.

But she is still weak in the end, and she invited Her Majesty to Shangyang Palace several times through the emperor's eldest son, but every time she wanted to mention this matter to justify herself, Her Majesty would deliberately divert the topic, and she had to look at it with that kind of knowing eyes, and Concubine Shu's heart was even more bottomless.

In addition to being disappointed, she also comforted herself that she could still have a son and everything. Even if she really loses favor, with the status of her maiden family, her grade, and the glory of the emperor's eldest son's biological mother, she can still stand tall in the palace, as long as the emperor's eldest son lives to adulthood safely.

Not to mention, she is still young and beautiful now, and Your Majesty is a person who values old love, who can guarantee that she will not turn over one day?

She was designed last time, and now she is still carrying two extra-large black cauldrons that murdered the eldest princess and indirectly killed the second princess, where do you dare to do it to the two pregnant women in the palace. I never thought that the Queen Mother and Princess An had just left on the front foot, and the two of them had an accident on the back foot, and she didn't believe it if there was no problem here!

Concubine Shu decided that since the queen herself is difficult to protect, today's affairs are absolutely inseparable from Concubine Xian, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone! At this time, she can't go back to Shangyang Palace to be a shrinking turtle, so she won't have to wake up and be splashed with dirty water on her head by Concubine Xian's slut!

Concubine Shu didn't care about Huo Yanzhi's harsh words, and said with a forced smile: "Your Majesty is right. Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, I don't know how long it will take for the queen mother to give birth to the little prince, so it's not good for the sisters to be here to consume. Why don't you let them all go back, and leave one of the concubines here to take care of them. Although the concubine is not talented, she can be regarded as having production experience in the end, and she may be able to help when the time comes. ”

Huo Yan thought that he was also a twenty-odd person in the harem, and he had actually given birth to three concubines, concubines, and Li Jieyu. Since the second princess is gone, Li Jieyu has closed her door due to illness, and she has not even been able to let her come out to take a look at such a big movement tonight. At this time, the only thing he can count on is the second concubine Shuxian.

However, these two people are not very clean on their hands, and neither of them is good at stubble......

Huo Yanzhi pressed his temples with a headache, and Concubine Shu immediately wanted to go up to share her worries, but he waved his hand and gently pushed it away.

Concubine Shu was ashamed and embarrassed, but He Jieyu laughed and laughed.

"Sister Shufei, they all said that they haven't eaten pork and haven't seen pigs run, but my sister thinks that this experience of eating pork can't be confused with raising pigs, after all, it's ......"

Before He Jieyu finished speaking, she was interrupted impatiently by Huo Yanzhi.

"Concubine Shu stays, and the others go back first."

The concubines' lively eyes suddenly shifted to He Jieyu, and they were also dyed with a layer of grief and jealousy.

Concubine Shu was overjoyed, but Huo Yanzhi spoke coldly.

"After I go back, the palace door will be closed, and if anyone walks around, I don't have to go back tomorrow to serve." There was a clear threat in the words, and a few people with weak hearts were already a little restless.

When everyone was almost gone, Huo Yanzhi spoke leisurely.

"Concubine Shu, why did you say that the queen and Wen Meiren were so coincidental today, and Qi Qi was born prematurely?"

Concubine Shu's eyebrows jumped, and her heart was slightly sour.

Although she has not heard such a title as "Ai Concubine" for a long time, the chill in His Majesty's words today is so obvious that she can't help but jump out to defend herself.

Seeing that there was a thick carpet in front of her, surrounded by His Majesty's people, and there was no eyes and ears of the queen, Concubine Shu honestly knelt down immediately.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother was frightened for a while when she heard the palace people report that Wen Meiren was born prematurely, and she was in a hurry to visit Wen Meiren, so she accidentally broke her foot. If what Lu Peony and others said was true, this incident should be an accident. However, the Wen Meiren's side ...... The concubine body suspects that something is a little strange, but the stakes are very high, and the concubine is not good at talking about it......"

Huo Yanzhi sighed: "What's at stake? How so? ”

Concubine Shu eats a trench and grows wise, and now she doesn't come with the emperor to bring pear blossoms and rain, and she wants to talk about it, so she told the situation she mastered in a few words.

Huo Yanzhi listened with his cheeks in his hands, he didn't know much at first, but when he heard it, he was in the back.

"Are you saying that He Baolin in the cold palace did not commit suicide, but someone killed people? Who is so bold? ”

Concubine Shu said aggrievedly: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe in the concubine, why do you have to ask about the concubine? When the eldest princess was concerned, the concubine was absolutely worthy of her heart......"

Met the emperor's suspicious eyes, she bit her lip and could only admit her mistake in a low voice.

"The concubine did take advantage of the family affairs of the second girl of the He family at the beginning, and asked He Baolin to play tricks on Wen Meiren for the concubine, who let her collide with the concubine last time, and almost caused the concubine to have a miscarriage? But the concubine dared to swear to the sky, the poisonous powder in Wen Meiren's book was indeed not ordered by the concubine, where did the concubine have the guts? At that time, the concubine suspected that He Baolin must have been used by someone to deal with the concubine, but unfortunately before he could find out, He Baolin was killed......"

Huo Yanzhi asked: "You keep saying that He Baolin was killed by someone, is there any evidence?" ”

Concubine Shu stumped: "That night, the concubine sent Er Qiao to the North Third Institute to find He Baolin, wanting to ask clearly. But as soon as Er Qiao went over to look, He Baolin was already dead and lying on the ground. Because the door was locked, Er Qiao couldn't get in, so he had to come back first. But the next day, Wu Cairen's little girl said that when they found He Baolin at that time, her lying posture and position were not very different, as if she had been turned over later. Moreover, the eldest princess's nurse is also a little eccentric, and the concubine later sent someone to investigate, only to know that she returned to her hometown after being kicked out of the palace, bought a lot of land, and spent too much, and the concubine suspected that she was instructed by someone......"

Huo Yanzhi knocked on the wall of the teacup carelessly, making a crisp sound.

"You mean, that blood letter was deliberately put on He Baolin to slander you? But how do I remember that what is stated in it does not seem to be much different from the facts? ”

Concubine Shu's face turned red, and tears came out of her eyes in embarrassment: "The concubine swears, the concubine has been a ghost once, but the concubine was too confused at that time~ For the sake of the emperor's eldest son, Your Majesty spared the concubine this time, right?" ”

Huo Yanzhi closed the teacup, put it aside, and looked at her quietly.

"Concubine Shu didn't lie to me? Only once? ”

Concubine Shu seemed to see the dawn of hope, and hurriedly kneeled forward, completely ignoring the eyes of the palace attendants, hugged Huo Yanzhi's legs, and raised the middle three fingers of her right hand tenderly.

"The concubine swears, if there is the slightest falsehood, it should be hit by five thunders from the sky!"

Huo Yanzhi asked coldly: "What about Sun Cainu?" ”

As soon as she heard this name, the tears glistening in Concubine Shu's eyes instantly turned into horror!

She could barely maintain the tenderness on her face, and barely made a puzzled expression: "Sun Cainu? Is there such a person in the palace? Since the beginning of the year, the concubine has been a little forgetful......"

Huo Yanzhi gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, and sure enough, it was so.

For a moment, he only felt that those few old public cases, large and small, didn't matter.

Now that he has his own eyes and ears, he no longer has to worry about being coaxed by these clever women. Coupled with Zhiwei's small ability, the palace should not be able to set off too much wind and waves in the future. At least, there shouldn't have been anything he hadn't expected.

As soon as he thought of Zhi Wei, his thoughts suddenly drifted away, and he seemed to return to the scene of the confrontation with the little palace maid in King Xin's mansion a few hours ago.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Huo Yanzhi's mouth, and the tails of his eyes rose slightly, as if he had thought of something happy.

Concubine Shu looked at him stunned and smiled, seeing that the big palm landed on the back of her hand, but before the warmth could fit completely, she had already gently pushed herself away.

"Your Majesty—"

Huo Yanzhi smiled and said calmly, "Concubine Shu, go back." It's enough to have me guarding here, you go back to take care of the emperor's eldest son, and raise him well to grow up. When he is four years old, I will choose a good teacher for him and teach him to be a good king. ”

Concubine Shu's heart sank to the bottom.

What does this mean by saying goodbye?

Isn't Your Majesty going to step into Shangyang Palace one step further?

Is her eldest son now less than 100 days old, but he is sentenced to death in the future battle for the throne?

A middle-aged woman covered in sweat and blood on her skirt suddenly rushed out of the inner room, and shouted at Huo Yanzhi in a panic.

"The queen is only afraid that it will be bad, dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know if I want to keep it big or small?"

At the same time, the room in the Hanyu Hall was also full of sweet blood, which disturbed everyone present.

As soon as Wang Dexi brought the emperor's message, he heard someone inside screaming, "Oh no, the little master's blood is collapsing."

Wang Dexi gritted his teeth, turned his head and rushed into the side hall, dragging the anxious old lady doctor who was waiting in.

The imperial doctor looked embarrassed: "This, I'm afraid this is not in line with the etiquette......"

Wang Dexi hurriedly said: "Oh, what kind of etiquette is it to talk about when this is all burning eyebrows?" His Majesty said that if you can keep the mother and son safe, everyone will be rewarded. If there is a case, you and I will not be able to eat and walk around! ”

The imperial doctor's beard trembled, and finally gave in, and before entering the delivery room, he hesitated and asked: "In case the mother and child are not safe, only one ...... can be guaranteed."

Wang Dexi immediately straightened his face, eager to kick the old lady doctor in.

"No whatever, hurry inside! Delay the healing, I will let Your Majesty kill your head! ”
