After more than two months, the summer heat faded, the autumn color became thicker, and the light gauze thin skirts of the harem people were slowly replaced by Luo skirt jackets.

Pei Shaofen has been pregnant for more than 40 days, and she is served with thick soup and delicacies every day, and Empress Dowager Liu also visits Meifeng Courtyard to see her from time to time.

And Emperor Xiao's face is getting paler and paler, although he doesn't say it, he calmly knows that he must be trapped by headaches every day, although she administers needles every day, she can't solve the huge pain.

Sima Nan didn't know what to do, he rarely stayed in the palace, and all state affairs were handled by Emperor Xiao alone.

Emperor Xiao dutifully performed his duties, and although he had quarrels and discords with the cabinet ministers from time to time, he was able to reach an agreement in the end.

Therefore, regardless of the former dynasty or the harem, there is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere for the time being.

The festival is just around the corner.

Because Pei Shaofen was sure to be pregnant, there was no objection to the queen's candidate, and the cabinet ministers put the matter after the closure on the agenda.

Although some royal relatives dislike Pei Shaofen's status as a sinner, due to Emperor Xiao's current physical condition, it is difficult to say anything, so it was agreed for a while to be canonized.

On this day, Calm was preparing the tools for sacrificing to the heavens in the division, only to see Zhao Yue coming in person.

Calmly put down the work in his hand and stepped forward and saluted with a smile: "What does Lord Shanggong command, just let the female history say, why bother to come in person." ”

Zhao Yue can be described as a smart person, after coercing Empress Dowager Liu to kill people for her to win the position of Shanggong, she became extraordinarily quiet, and the Shanggong Bureau has been well organized and orderly in the past two months, which is much better than when Han Zhi was there.

Therefore, it is not easy for the Empress Dowager Liu to find out the accident to rectify her, but I don't know what her intentions are when she comes.

"Leng Sishe, everyone is sisters, don't be polite, sit down and talk." Zhao Yue said with a smile.

Calmly sat sideways in her chair and waited for her to continue.

"Leng Si She, because the incense burner is being made in the main palace, and there is a lack of a female history who is good at depiction, I don't know if Leng Si Shi can cut love and borrow Kong Lingci from the palace for two days?" Zhao Yue said with a smile.

Calm laughed secretly in his heart, thinking it was a big deal, but it turned out that he just came to borrow someone.

Now is the busiest time, and she, Shanggong, has to do things in person, to borrow someone, this kind of favor, calm still has to be given.

"Shanggong Niangniang is polite, I will let Lao Kong go with you, if there are not enough people, just say, I have a few idlers here for adults to send." Smiled calmly.

Seeing that she agreed, Zhao Yue said a few more kind words, calmly called Kong Lingci over, and left with her.

If she is calm and unpredictable, she will never let Kong Lingci go with her.

Concubine Ying's fake pregnancy was really incense by Pei Shaofen, and she had to pretend that it had been two months since she had a miscarriage, and she calmly thought that Xiaoyue's slap had already made all the enmity.

But she still ignored Concubine Ying's revenge.

She is not a concubine, even if the emperor dies, she does not have to be buried or sent to the cold palace to suffer, so her heart became careless, thinking that the matter was over.

But that's not the case.

Concubine Ying's forbearance for so long was just for a more violent outburst.

After doing two hours of work in a row, he calmly left his position, just stretched his arms, and stretched his waist, only to see Ruan Meiling running in in a panic and shouting loudly:

"My lord, it's not good, Lao Kong made a big disaster, and splashed the outer skirt worn by Concubine Yingniang's sacrifice ceremony with oil paint, and Niangniang was angry and ordered to beat her to death."

Fine cold sweat oozed from his calm forehead, and after half a second of panic, he felt that he had figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

"Niangniang is still in the palace bureau?" Calmly asked.

Ruan Meiling shook her head.

"Go ahead and get busy with you." Calmly wiped the sweat on his forehead with a brocade hand, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the Zhuguang Pavilion.

She hadn't seen Concubine Yingniang for a few days, it was she who was rude, knowing that she had a miscarriage, and she should have gone over to greet her.

Heart-rending screams rang out from the courtyard of the Pearl Pavilion.

Calmly quickened his pace, and walked in, the board in the eunuch's hand was falling heavily and hitting Kong Lingci.

Kong Lingci's cry changed from high-pitched to low-pitched, and when he saw that he was calm, his hands, which were originally tightly clinging to the wooden stool, fell down weakly, and unconsciously swayed back and forth.

Concubine Ying sat on the armchair on the steps, closed her eyes and recuperated, as if she hadn't paid attention to the arrival of calmness.

Calmly walked up the steps and greeted him with a salute.

But she didn't seem to hear.

Calmly knelt on the ground and said hello again.

Kong Lingci was subjected to five or six more boards, and Concubine Ying slowly opened her eyes, grinned at the corners of her mouth, and said: "Yo, you are here, why don't you say anything, just kneel for a long time?" ”

"Niangniang, the slave and maid won't go around in circles with you anymore, please say it if you have something to say." Calm down.

Concubine Yingniang stretched her waist and instructed Xiaoyue beside her: "Let them stop fighting first, this palace wants to talk to Leng Si Qingqing quietly." ”

Xiaoyue waved her hand over there, and the little eunuch who was beating people stopped and stepped aside.

calmly looked at Kong Lingci lying on the stool, her skirt was soaked in blood, silent, about half of the person had died, and she couldn't help but feel a little desolate.

She said that Sima Nan shouldn't care about her business, and if she didn't care, it would be much easier.

And how could she not be like this, she shouldn't have friends, and if you are friends with her, it won't end well.

"Xiaoyue, you give Kong Lingci the bone-setting medicine and wine that the emperor rewarded me, and take her to rest elsewhere." Concubine Ying instructed Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue agreed, walked over, and ordered the two little eunuchs to lift the stool and carry Kong Lingci to the side hall.

"Niangniang, Kong Lingci has done something wrong, and she always asks for forgiveness because the slave and maid are not strict in discipline." Calm and whisper no.

Concubine Ying sneered: "Calm down, she didn't make a mistake, it was the palace that deliberately hit her, and the oil paint in her hand will splash on her clothes."

Who made her your friend, and this palace really can't blackmail you except for this trick. ”

Sigh calmly.

This Le Ying'er is a cheerful person, not as timidly as Pei Shaofen.

"Why does the mother want to blackmail the slave?" Calmly asked.

Concubine Ying's eyes were sharp, and she asked her sharply: "Did you ask Pei Shaofen to bring the imperial doctor to make trouble?" She is a stupid person, where did she come up with such a way to force this palace to show herself, so she had to pretend to have a miscarriage.

You are also too vicious, this palace has promised you that as long as you are crowned queen, you will share the wealth with you in the future, but you still want to come to ruin the good things of this palace!

What is your intention? ”

Calm and silent for a long time, he smiled bitterly.

If she denies it, she will lead the war to Pei Shaofen, but she just admits it, isn't it too unfair to herself?

"Calm down, this palace doesn't care what your intentions are, in short, things have happened, and then there is no point in pursuing them, I just want to know now, Pei Shaofen is your friend, Kong Lingci is also your friend,

But which friend is heavier in your mind? Do you choose for yourself? How about a life for a life? ”

With a cold smile on the corner of Concubine Ying's mouth, she said word by word.

Calmly swallowed his saliva and sighed: "What do you mean? ”

"Either let Pei Shaofen have a miscarriage, or watch Kong Lingci die in front of you. Give you an hour, you choose, Kong Lingci's mistake is that he was accidentally killed by this palace, and he deserved it, and no one will hold this palace responsible. ”

After Concubine Ying finished speaking, she got up and left, leaving Calm on the steps alone.

Calm and can't wait to get her back, to make it clear, one person does things and one person bears it, why use such despicable means to rectify her. What she wants, she doesn't fight for it, she just blindly threatens her and asks her to do things for her, how vicious is this heart!

Calmly got up and patted his shirt and walked out of the pearl pavilion.

She never thought of calculating others, let alone getting any benefit from calculating others.

But such an environment and such a person made her really unable to continue to endure it.

She didn't want to make trouble for Sima Nan, nor did she want to trouble the emperor, and she didn't want to leave a weak name that she could only survive with the protection of men.

Calm down to the Ninjuden.

Empress Dowager Liu was leaning on the couch, listening to Mama Jiang reading Buddhist scriptures, when she saw her come in, she opened her eyes and sighed: "What are you doing here?" Come and see the mourners' jokes? ”

"Queen Mother, the slave won't look at your jokes, the slave is doing everything possible to help you get rid of the last big trouble." Calm down.

Empress Dowager Liu opened her eyes, made Mama Jiang stop, and sneered: "Do you know who the Mourning family's henchmen are?" ”

"Niangniang, this confidant is not a slave, let alone Sima Nan, but the current Shanggong Yue Zhao Yue." said calmly and straight to the point.

Empress Dowager Liu squinted her eyes and snorted coldly: "But there is a clown who jumps off the beam, do you really think that the mourning family will be afraid of her?" ”

Of course Niangniang is not afraid of her, what Niangniang is afraid of is what she knows. That person was thoughtful, since she dared to blackmail Niangniang, she naturally took Niangniang's seven inches. Calmly said.

Empress Dowager Liu owed slightly, stared at her face, and said word by word: "The mourning family is not afraid to tell you the secret of her and the mourning family, and I hold the letters written by that person to the mourning family in my heart, if I can't get along with her, those letters will be revealed to the world.

And the content of this letter is enough to subvert my Great Xia court. ”

"How could she have such a letter?" Calmly asked.

"Han Zhi's brother is a miscellaneous servant of the Jiang family, and he found this secret by chance in the master's study, and since then he has been paying attention to it, and he finally picked up the opportunity.

When he wrote this letter, he carefully considered the words, and the bad one was thrown into the brazier on the spot and burned, but he did not wait for me, and the letter that was thrown into the brazier did not burn out, leaving most of the article and was picked up by the traitor. ”

Empress Dowager Liu lowered her voice and said, her tone sad:

After Han Zhi was convicted, the mourning family was worried that the letter would surface, but fortunately, she was convicted suddenly, and she didn't have time to react.

Zhao Yue took a copy of the letter to threaten the mourning family.

The mourning family knew that it was her, and she actually stole the letter to defend herself, and the mourning family was treated by her and could not turn over. ”

"Niangniang, if the slave can get that letter and relieve Niangniang's worries, can Niangniang reward the position of Shanggong calmly?"

Empress Dowager Liu sneered: "What's the difference between her and you?" But what good is it to move from one fox to another, more cunning fox, and to mourn the family? ”

"Of course there is, because I am the only one who can decide the life and death of the emperor." said calmly and indifferently.

Empress Dowager Liu jumped up from the bed, her face suddenly changed: "Can you cure the emperor's illness?" ”
