The waste prince was very excited, and the whole person was immersed in an indescribable excitement, and he didn't notice Yan Shunying's abnormality at all, his eyes fell on her towering abdomen, and asked, "How long is it until the child is born?" ”

He didn't care about the pregnant woman, nor did he care about whether the child was healthy, he only cared about when the child would be born, calculating how long he could stay in the palace.

So ruthless, so ridiculous.

Yan Shunying lowered her brows, her palms were clenched tightly, and her voice was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, "It's been eight months, and I may be born at any time." ”

"No, you don't have to wait for ten months!" Soon, the waste prince realized that his tone was wrong, and quickly eased his expression, sat down beside Yan Shunying, and gently held her hand, "The child can stay in the mother's womb for a longer time in order to be healthier, this palace will let the imperial doctor come over tomorrow to recuperate for you, you are too thin." ”

He seemed to have just noticed Yan Shunying's emaciated appearance, a little surprised and a little pity, patted her hand and comforted her, "The love between you and me is different from others, this palace promised you that one day you will become the most noble woman in the world, the grievances you have suffered these days, when this palace wins the throne, this palace will compensate you back." ”

Yan Shunying smiled lightly, didn't know whether she believed it or not, stroked her stomach, and responded in a low voice, "I know, don't worry, my child is distressed by me, and I will definitely take care of it well, and I won't miss your big event." ”

The waste prince looked at her with satisfaction, and said as if inadvertently, "By the way, you haven't written a letter to your father-in-law for a long time, you are about to give birth, so write a letter to your father-in-law, and the palace will send someone to send it to you." ”

Yan Shunying only thought that he was going to contact his father again, so he said, "I have begged my father, but he has always listened to the emperor, and he will not go against the emperor's will, and it is useless for you to contact him." ”

"Don't worry, it's just a letter, and you won't bother your father-in-law again."

The waste prince said this, but a gloom flashed in his eyes that no one could see.

I don't know what the idea of the abolished prince is, he sent a letter to Wu Anhou for Yan Shunying with great fanfare, and the convoy was full of silk and satin and delicacies from the mountains and seas, with a posture of condolences. Those who didn't know only regarded the abolished prince as losing power and began to curry favor with the Yue family, but King Qin smelled the smell of conspiracy from it.

He directly called Feng Ming over, "The prince has a new move, this king suspects that he is colluding with the Huns, and it is very likely to start a war, you are familiar with Liangyue City and the Huns, now follow the people and horses of the abolished prince, go to Liangyue City together, secretly observe their movements, if you need any help, directly take the token of the prince's mansion to Wu'an Hou for help." ”

The Huns generally recuperate in spring and summer, and after the soldiers are strong and strong, they generally start a war in the autumn for the sake of food for the winter, and now it is already April, if you want to start a war, you should start preparations at this time.

Although the Xiongnu and the Great Zhou have negotiated peace, but the Xiongnu envoys came to discuss peace and the abolition of the prince eyebrows, maybe some agreement has been reached, coupled with the peace talks added to the conditions of the year, the Huns are not very reluctant, the end of last year is obviously insufficient, has shown a bit of attitude, if this year is to start a war again, it is not surprising at all.

King Qin had dealt with the Huns for many years, and his understanding of the habits of the Huns also belonged to Wu'anhou, Feng Ming trusted his judgment very much, solemnly accepted the task, and simply packed up a burden and left.

Gu Qingyi had something to look for Feng Ming, but when she couldn't see others, she knew that he was sent to Liangyue City by King Qin, she realized the seriousness of the matter, and asked nervously, "Is there another war?" ”

Father is stationed in Liangyue City, if the Huns start a war, wouldn't my father be in danger?

Her belly was already seven months old, and King Qin was worried that she would fall, so he carefully supported her, trying to pick good things to say to her, "It's okay, it's just a precaution, let Feng Ming go to find out the news, it won't necessarily be a war, you can raise the baby with peace of mind and give birth to the baby well." ”

Gu Qingyi had a mysterious trust in King Qin, and quickly let go of half of his heart and began to talk to him about another thing, "There is news from the palace, saying that my father is sick, should we send some medicinal herbs in?" ”

"There are medicinal materials in the palace, let's not send them, so as not to let people move their hands and feet on it, or let people go to the temple to ask for a consecrated Buddha statue, and the king will personally send it in." King Qin's expression was a little complicated, "My father's spring and autumn period is already high, since the year before last after he contracted the wind and cold, there are no major illnesses, but there are many minor problems, ordinary people just need to recuperate quietly, but my father is concerned about the country and the country, and he is unwilling to rest." ”

In fact, Emperor Zhaoming can also be cultivated, he only needs to delegate power and let his sons supervise the country, but he can't even tolerate the prince, how can he be willing to divide power among his sons again.

Gu Qingyi approached King Qin's arms and kissed his chin comfortingly, as if he didn't know the complicated thoughts in his heart, he just said, "Don't worry, the concubine in the palace is quite favored by her father, and she was found to be pregnant not long ago, which is enough to prove that her father is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, and even if there is a minor illness, she will be cured quickly." ”

"Well, this king knows, don't get involved in the affairs of the palace, just leave it to this king." King Qin's voice paused, and then asked, "The queen has been ill for a long time, and if you want people to serve the sick, you don't have to care about what outsiders say, the abolished princess hasn't gone, so you don't need to go." ”

Gu Qingyi nodded and said that she knew, in fact, the palace had already sent her grandmother to the house to inform her to serve the sick, but she had a big belly, and the queen had an enmity with her, so she was unwilling to take this risk, so she refused at that time, because she thought it was a trivial matter, and she didn't tell King Qin, but she didn't expect him to know.

In the afternoon of the same day, the king of Qin personally went to the temple with the most incense in the capital to ask for a Buddha statue, and brought it into the palace to visit Emperor Zhaoming the next day, he saw Emperor Zhaoming, and found that his face was very pale, and his lips were a little purple, not like he was sick, but like he was poisoned.

But this is just his unilateral speculation, the emperor's clothing, food, housing and transportation are strictly controlled, and the people waiting around him are all oil and salt, and it is very difficult for him to find out the news, let alone poison. Maybe it's some other illness that will make your face look bad.

King Qin wanted to care a few more words, but he was worried that he would be charged with watching, so he couldn't even ask about his illness, so he just said a few words with him, and quickly retired and left. It's just that he still has doubts in his heart, so he asked the dark line in the palace to investigate, and soon there was a result.

"You mean to say that the emperor has been in good health recently, and there are no problems around him, and the only change is that he often rests in the palace of Xin Concubine?"

It was the rough palace people who inquired about the news in the imperial study, and it took a lot of effort for King Qin to insert people into it, and he usually didn't find any news, but he knew the emperor's whereabouts better, and he thought that it would be useful now.

The food, clothing, housing and transportation around the emperor are strictly controlled, but the harem concubines can't be so strict, there will always be omissions, if the emperor's illness is really unusual, it is most likely to start from the harem concubines, Xin Concubine as the concubine who has recently contacted the emperor the most, the suspicion is the greatest.

The secret guard got the news from the palace people and was responsible for relaying it to King Qin, "Yes, the informant suspected that there was something wrong with Xin Concubine, and heard a rumor that I don't know if it was true or not, saying that Xin Concubine had night wandering syndrome, and some palace people had seen her in the Imperial Garden, but the palace man quickly made a mistake and was sent to the Huanyi Bureau." Yesterday, the news that you wanted Your Majesty was related to Concubine Xin, and he specially went to the Huanyi Bureau to check and found that the rumored palace man was dead. ”

There are often dead people in the palace, and they usually listen to and see some secret things, and they are killed by people, it seems that Xin Concubine is really tired, otherwise the rumored palace people just died.

"In this way, the emperor's illness is not simple, it may be that Concubine Xin has done something."

King Qin pondered for a long time, the emperor can also find out the news he can find, maybe now he suspects Shang Xin Concubine, but he has not yet moved, he has to be frightened by the emperor's mental tricks, when he was in the audience, he didn't notice the slightest abnormality on his father's face, and then think about it carefully, the conversation at that time was also a little weird, it should be the emperor who was testing whether he was the murderer behind the scenes.

It is normal for Emperor Zhaoming to suspect King Qin, after all, if he dies, the biggest beneficiary is those sons, King Qin, as the most popular candidate for the crown prince at present, can't suppress his ambition and wants to replace him, and murdering his own father is the best choice.

It is true that King Qin wants to take the heir, but he has not destroyed human nature and killed his father, this kind of vicious method is often used by the abolished prince, and now he is desperate to murder the emperor's father, but it is very possible.

"Let the dark line be careful, don't stare at Concubine Xin anymore, so as not to be discovered by the emperor's people."

King Qin ordered some books, Concubine Xin is the one who took the drug, maybe there will be a reaction on her body, this may be an important reason why the emperor still keeps her - he wants to see if Concubine Xin has an antidote.

Soon, King Qin knew the result, because there was news from the palace that Xin Concubine was also sick, and she was extremely sick, and the child in her belly was gone, and she was still unconscious, and the emperor was furious and ordered the imperial doctor to treat Xin Concubine, if Xin Concubine had three long and two short, they would not need to live.

Gu Qingyi felt strange when she heard it, like all uninformed people, she felt that Xin Concubine was deeply favored by the saint and lived like a favorite concubine in the book, only King Qin knew that the emperor was using Xin Concubine to test the medicine - even if he couldn't save people, it would be good if he could save people from waking up, and he would find the antidote by asking the people behind the scenes.

Xin Concubine helped people murder the emperor, and even took herself into poison, King Qin guessed that she might not know that it was poison, which would lead to this result, so the people behind the scenes must want to kill Xin Concubine, so they will deliberately deceive, now Xin Concubine is unconscious, and the other party will definitely do it again in order to eliminate the traces, at this time, as long as you see who jumps out, it is the mastermind behind the scenes.

The emperor's people must also be staring, King Qin didn't want to send someone over to provoke suspicion, he called the secret guard, "Let people pay attention to the movements in the East Palace, and also, inquire to see if the prince has gone out at night." ”

The secret guard took the order and left, and King Qin walked to the window, looking at the dark clouds outside, and his heart sank.

The storm is coming, and I only hope that the Qin Wangfu can survive this turmoil.
