Three days later, Prince Zhaohua led 20,000 elite soldiers to the south to supervise the army, the emperor did not show up because of the dragon's physical illness, it was the queen mother who personally saw off the prince, and the queen mother did not appear.

As soon as the prince left, the capital was quiet again, but this quiet was the appearance, and the dark tide was surging under the quiet appearance.

Originally, the establishment of the prince was a major event, and it should have set off a violent reaction in the court, but with the holy decree after the establishment of the prince was to immediately let the prince lead the troops south to supervise the army, the emperor seemed to be unwilling to let the prince stay in the capital for a moment, and it was also very obvious that the attitude of the court was a little subtle, and he was not sure of the meaning of the emperor's move, and he did not dare to act rashly.

However, in any case, the crown prince has been established, and the winners and losers have been divided!

The Deng family seems to have died down, from the time when the queen planned to succeed the king of Duan, the Deng family knew that they had completely lost their advantage, the Deng family finally stopped fighting the idea of the son of the king of Ji, and the king of Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately wrote a letter to request the canonization of his son as the son, the queen out of selfishness, cleverly lobbied the emperor to approve the request of the king of Ji, this is a later story, not to mention it for the time being!

But the Deng family was not willing to admit defeat like this, and the relationship between the family members over the years was even more complicated, especially the gate valve like the Deng family, who had been in power for many years! For example, the daughter of the Xiao family, who has a lot to do with the Deng family, is one of the prince's daughters, if she can help the daughter of the Xiao family to ascend to the throne, the Deng family will still have a chance to turn over, so she often sends people to Pingning Wangfu to "teach" Miss Xiao San, of course, it is in the name of the Empress Dowager, although Gao Zhinan flatters Concubine Zhen, but in front of the Empress Dowager, what is Concubine Zhen? There was already a Miss Huang who jumped up and down, and now with Gao Zhinan and Xiao Jiayi, the backyard of Pingning Mansion was unprecedentedly lively for a while.

The prince's biological mother, Concubine Zhen, is the adopted daughter of the Deng family's in-laws Rongguo Mansion, although the prince was passed on to the queen mother, but she was born to Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Zhen has accompanied and taken care of the prince for more than ten years in Rouran. Through this in-law relationship with the Qi family, the Deng family also began to get close to Concubine Zhen, of course, they did not forget to be closer to the Qi family, the two families were extremely diligent, of course, the relationship between the two families was not bad, but the Deng family's attitude towards the Qi family was a little more cordial than before, and the previous feeling of superiority was gone.

And the Fu family probably already felt that the situation was decided. Victory is in sight, and for a time the posture is extremely modest, it is a kind of victory in the hand and look at everything, and do not hesitate to give down a gesture, quite a bit of fame and reputation, so even for those flattering and flattering wall grass, the Fu family is also extraordinarily kind.

As for the Zheng family, the queen was not able to succeed King Duan, and finally let King Pingning take the lead, allowing the Fu family to gain power! But in the end, the emperor is still there, the Zheng family is not nothing, and after the initial panic, they gradually calmed down, and the Fu family is always stronger than the Deng family, so it is slightly relaxed, but the limelight is not as good as before, and it is extremely low-key, and several masters are also extra cautious, lest the Fu family hate the old things that could not be won over at the beginning, and now they can't get along with the Zheng family.

In the evening of this day, Xu Shu was about to go to Pu Yuxuan to have dinner with Mrs. Zheng Si as usual, when suddenly Deng Yarong came.

Every time Deng Yarong comes, it will give Xu Shu a different feeling, and this time is no exception!

Compared with the last time they met, Xu Shu was surprised to find that Deng Yarong was not fatter anymore, but thinner, and the chin was already faintly visible The outline of the previous delicate spirit, but the person was thinner, and the round belly was extraordinarily prominent.

"Why did you lose so much weight?" Xu Shu asked with a smile as she poured tea for Deng Yarong herself.

Deng Yarong didn't say a word, and didn't wait for Xu Shu to ask her to sit, she went straight to sit next to Xu Shu, and as soon as she took off her shoes, she shrank on the couch, and didn't look at Xu Shu, just staring at her stomach in a daze, as if she wanted to stare out of a hole in her stomach!

Xu Shu chuckled in her heart, now at this time, Deng Yarong looked like this again, and she knew that something was wrong, so she called Luhe, "Go to Pu Yuxuan and tell my mother, I have a guest here, so I won't go to dinner!" ”

"The slave maid brought the lady's share back to eat in the yard by the way, and the lady confessed, the young lady is weak, and she can't make a mistake with three meals a day!" Luho answered and closed the door.

There was no one in the room, Deng Yarong finally raised her eyes to look at Xu Shu, "Xu Shu, I ......" before she spoke, Deng Yarong was dumbfounded.

"What's wrong? Speak slowly! Xu Shu pushed a cup of tea in front of Deng Yarong.

Deng Yarong held the teacup, but her hands were shaking, and after a long time, she choked up and said, "Do you know? I did what you said, and went back to Deng's house to ask the doctor to see me......"

"What did the Imperial Doctor say?" Xu Shu's heart sank, and she gradually understood the reason for Deng Yarong's sudden change.

"The doctor said that I took a medicine that caused my appetite to increase! But this medicine also has a drawback, that is, the taste will become dull after taking it, so you will find out ......" Deng Yarong lowered her head and her voice was hoarse, "I always thought that my taste became ...... because I was pregnant."

"Who gave you that medicine?"

Deng Yarong stopped talking.

"Who?"

Deng Yarong bit her lip, "You've already guessed it, haven't you?" If you hadn't guessed, how could you let me go back to Deng's house to find the Imperial Doctor? ”

"I'm just suspicious ......" But now Deng Yarong's expression confirmed Xu Shu's suspicions.

Deng Yarong closed her eyes, and the tears in the corners of her eyes rolled down quickly, "Since I was pregnant, my diet was taken care of by the grandmother around me, I grew up eating grandma's milk, grandma has no children, and she is counting on me to give her a pension and send her to the end, so she will not harm me!" But...... In addition to the diet, the fetal pills were fried by my eldest cousin himself, and he never faked them......"

never pretends to others, which means that Qi Peng is the only suspect......

"He personally grabbed the medicine for me, decocted the medicine, and fed it to me with his own hands, I thought...... I thought he felt sorry for me and loved me...... I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect ......" Deng Yarong's tears fell in strings with a wry smile, "I just woke up now, he was afraid that he would leave a handle on others with a fake hand......"

Xu Shu silently handed over the handkerchief, Deng Yarong held it tightly in her hand, but she didn't wipe her tears at all, maybe her heart was so painful that she was numb now, and she didn't know that she had burst into tears.

But what good is it for him to do so? If I really have an accident, kid...... Children can also be at risk, aren't they...... Could it be that he is so ruthless that he can even do it to his own flesh and blood? ”
