The queen's reprimand made the surrounding atmosphere suddenly cool down, and the palace maids next to her all lowered their heads.

"How noble is the eldest prince, Ji Wuhuan, who do you think you are? After a few victories, you can see no one? The queen's emotions were a little excited, and I don't know if it was because everyone saw such a big prince that stimulated her self-esteem.

Ji Wuhuan looked at the queen lightly: "The minister has never said so, if the mother thinks that Fang Cai's attitude is disrespectful, she can let the emperor punish the minister." Ji Wuhuan's words are already threatening, and he also has the capital to threaten.

The queen was so angry that she trembled, but she would never argue with Ji Wuhuan at this time, his prestige among the people, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands were not something she could provoke now.

"Since you claim to be a 'minister,' you'd better obey your duty as a minister." The queen found a step for herself, but Ji Wuhuan did not respond.

The atmosphere instantly condensed, and the queen swept Shen Qing, who was standing behind Ji Wuhuan, and said coldly: "It's Princess Huainan, come to the palace." ”

As soon as the queen's words came out, Ji Wuhuan grabbed Shen Qing's hand tightly, and personally led her to the queen's side.

When the queen saw Ji Wuhuan like this, her eyes were heavy, but she didn't say anything more.

"What do you command?" Shen Qing looked at the queen, Xu was sleepless last night, her eyelids were swollen, her eyes were bloodshot, and she was indescribably tired and old.

"This palace called you over this time, it's to enjoy the flowers, but the wildflowers and weeds on the ground are blooming a lot, but you don't notice the owner of the garden, but no matter how beautiful the wildflowers are, they are just wild flowers, and they can't enter the hall." The queen got up, walked to the rockery not far away, saw the wild flowers on the ground and said, "Pluck out all these wild flowers for the palace." ”

"Yes." Immediately, someone from the palace came over and started working.

Shen Qing looked at the queen's movements, a little dumbfounded, what is the benefit of threatening Ji Wuhuan here?

"I heard that the eldest prince has been ill for a long time, and this time I entered the palace, and the concubine also found a famous doctor for the mother." Shen Qing said with a smile.

The queen's palms tightened slightly, and she turned her head to look at the ghost doctor Nie Sheng standing not far away, and her face was a little cold: "Jianghu Langzhong, it's okay." ”

Nie Sheng's gaze at the queen was very complicated, but when he saw Shen Qing's stopping gaze, he still endured it.

Shen Qing didn't say much, they came early, the people who should have come hadn't come yet, and the queen didn't want to say anything more, so she sat in the pavilion and drank tea.

Ji Wuhuan looked at Shen Qing comfortingly, and said in a low voice: "Have you ever brought the token that the emperor gave you?" ”

"Hmm." Shen Qing bowed slightly, and the two looked at each other and smiled, both knowing what would happen next.

Not long after, Lin Miaoyue also came, and deliberately changed into a teal gown, covered with a pear blossom white gown, and a fur cloak, and the whole person looked delicate.

As soon as she came, the queen laughed, looked up and down, and was very satisfied.

Lin Miaoyue raised her eyes and looked at Ji Wuhuan shyly, and said, "The prince is also here." ”

Ji Wuhuan's face was cold, and he only responded lightly.

Seeing this, the queen's mind changed slightly, and she simply said: "Princess Huainan must be the first time to come to the palace, so it's better to go around." Then he immediately sent someone over to lead her away.

Ji Wuhuan turned around to follow, but listened to the queen: "What is the king of Huainan anxious about, this palace still has something to say to you." ”

Shen Qing knew that the queen was deliberately embarrassed, so he squeezed Ji Wuhuan's hand: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

Ji Wuhuan frowned slightly, and raised his eyes to look at the queen: "Then wait for the mother to finish speaking, and then the minister will go to the palace with Qing'er." ”

"Ji Wuhuan!" The queen was directly annoyed.

Lin Miaoyue hurriedly stood up: "Niangniang, don't be angry, the princess and princess are just getting married, the plaice is very affectionate, and it is common to be inseparable, if this is not the case, Miaoyue accompanied the princess to go around, Niangniang, you talk to the prince, is it feasible?" ”

The queen glanced at Lin Miaoyue and didn't speak, Ji Wuhuan just wanted to refuse, but Shen Qing responded with a smile, I didn't come to the queen directly today.

Ji Wuhuan was a little worried, but Shen Qing winked at him: "Don't worry." "It's not the first time she's been to the palace, and she's naturally been cautious about coming in for countless nights.

followed Lin Miaoyue all the way forward, but there was nothing to enjoy in the palace, and the two of them went forward silently.

Finally, Lin Miaoyue opened her mouth first: "The prince really loves the princess." ”

Shen Qing knew that Lin Miaoyue was so thoughtful about Ji Wuhuan, and she didn't want to play with her, so she only responded lightly.

But Lin Miaoyue didn't give up, she said again: "I only thought that the prince was a cold person before, and he didn't usually treat people well, so he even saved me that time...... He just sat on the same horse with me in his arms, and he didn't even comfort me. After Lin Miaoyue finished speaking, she looked at Shen Qing again, and saw that her face did not fluctuate, and she couldn't help but wonder if Shen Qing didn't like Ji Wuhuan, otherwise how could she not even have jealousy or the slightest hint of jealousy, but what she didn't know was that Shen Qing believed in Ji Wuhuan enough, and believed that he would not do anything out of the way at all, because this person is by nature.

Lin Miaoyue was a little embarrassed when she saw that Shen Qing didn't speak, and her eyes turned red for a while.

When Shen Qingxing stopped on a corridor, she saw tears in her eyes and was a little puzzled: "Miss Lin, what's wrong?" ”

Lin Miaoyue hurriedly waved her hand, but suddenly heard a voice coming: "What's the matter, it's not that I'm being bullied by you." ”

Shen Qing saw that it was Ji Wei, and she had a headache, but she knew that she would definitely pop out today.

After Ji Wei was injured last time, she lost a lot of weight, her chin was also sharp, and her whole person looked a little weak.

She stared straight at Shen Qing with her eyes, as if she wanted to tear off all her disguises, but she didn't know what to do at all, so she approached and said, "Shen Qing, I have already told my father and mother about you, and you will soon be imprisoned." ”

Lin Miaoyue snorted lightly: "Tenth Princess, what are you talking about?" "How could she not have heard the rumors about Princess Huainan, but she just didn't believe that such a wise and martial person as Ji Wuhuan would be deceived by a little woman.

Shen Qing looked at Ji Wei lightly and chuckled: "Didn't the tenth princess also invite someone from Dayan, when will she come over?" ”

Seeing that she didn't admit it, Ji Wei became more and more annoyed: "Don't think that I don't dare to invite someone over, I told you that the prince of Dayan will arrive soon!" And Shen Qing, Xuanyuan Li's escape this time, you must have also helped, you are the pavilion master of Meiyun Pavilion, you and Xuanyuan Li are complicit, he dares to escape from Dawei now, it is a capital crime! ”

Shen Qing looked at her who was getting more and more annoyed, and smiled: "If the tenth princess wants the concubine to die like this, why don't you just ask the emperor what he says?" ”

Ji Wei gritted her teeth: "Don't think I don't dare." ”

Shen Qingwan didn't say much.

Ji Wei was so angry by her indifferent attitude: "You wait for me, I will find your evidence sooner or later!" ”

Shen Qing didn't say anything more, but Lin Miaoyue looked at her uncertainly: "Princess, these words said by the tenth princess are all angry words, don't take it to heart." Now that the horse master has run away, the tenth princess will inevitably be depressed. ”

Looking at Lin Miaoyue, who was testing everything, Shen Qing didn't say much, just bowed his head slightly and went back.

Lin Miaoyue looked at Shen Qing, and the more she looked at it, the more jealous she felt, why could she always be so calm and light, just because of the support of the queen behind her?

Ji Wuhuan has always taken the queen's words as a deaf ear, and after seeing Shen Qing come back, his expression moved, and the queen's threatening words were still in his ears: "Yuan Song's evidence is conclusive this time, Ji Wuhuan, with your strength, you can't save him." If he dies, your solemn mansion will be finished. ”

Ji Wuhuan bowed slightly: "The minister understands that the minister will not bend the law for personal gain." ”

The queen frowned, what she wanted was for him to bend the law for personal gain and save Yuan Song, but now he had an indifferent attitude.

"Ji Wuhuan, don't you understand what this palace means?" The queen frowned.

Ji Wuhuan looked at her lightly: "Is it just for this reason that the queen mother entered the palace this time?" ”

The queen looked at Ji Wuhuan, he was extremely rampant now, but even so, she still couldn't do anything about him, because the fourth prince Ji Yun was not under her control now, and Ji Wei's maternal grandfather family also began to have the intention of taking refuge in the fourth prince, and her son's illness has not been cured......

Shen Qing came over to see the ceremony, and the queen went to see Lin Miaoyue, only to see that her eyes were slightly red, as if she had cried, and she only got it: "Have you ever seen the tenth princess?" ”

"I saw it, but the tenth princess went to find the emperor." Shen Qing said lightly, looking at the queen's angry appearance, Shen Qing only lowered his eyes lightly, and as soon as Xuanyuan left this time, the situation in the capital began to change accordingly.

The queen was a little speechless, and arranged to let Ji Wei come over, no matter what, there was always a way to let Shen Qing stay in the palace, but she was good, and actually went to find the emperor.

"Okay, it's not too early, you guys go back first, Miaoyue stays." After the queen finished speaking, she looked at the ghost doctor Nie Sheng: "He also stayed." ”

"He can't stay." Shen Qing looked at the queen lightly, she was very clear about the queen's purpose of leaving Nie Sheng alone, and she brought Nie Sheng over today just to tell the queen that she already knew about the queen's private affairs.

The grandmother beside the queen said coldly: "Princess, this is the palace, and there is no place for you to call the shots." ”

Shen Qing looked at the queen: "Since Niangniang thinks that the doctor is not worthy of treating the eldest prince, why should she leave him with a foreign man in the palace, if something happens, the concubine is too small to afford it." ”

The queen's face turned blue with anger, and she stood up suddenly: "Is the Huainan Royal Mansion going to rebel!" ”

"I don't dare to rebel, but the emperor ordered that when I enter the palace today, I must not do anything wrong to make the queen unhappy." Shen Qing continued.

When the queen heard them mention the emperor, her heart was cold, could it be that the emperor had endured it for so many years, could it be that he couldn't bear it anymore, after so many years, he finally decided to take action against his wife.

"Stand down." The queen turned away, unwilling to look at them again.

Ji Wuhuan took Shen Qing's hand and turned around to leave, when Nie Sheng took the opportunity to step forward and salute: "Niangniang, the son of the grass people, is dead." ”

The queen was shocked, and turned around sharply to stare at Nie Sheng, but Nie Sheng just turned his head and left indifferently.

Lin Miaoyue never knew what was going on, and timidly took a few steps back and was about to leave, but the queen stopped her: "Miaoyue, this palace likes you very much, how about you come to be a daughter-in-law to this palace?" ”

Lin Miaoyue was ready to marry the eldest prince, but looking at the current situation, the queen and the eldest prince were afraid that they would soon be defeated, so they hurriedly lowered their heads and said: "Niangniang, the marriage is a big deal, Miaoyue doesn't dare to make decisions without permission." ”

The queen's eyes suddenly became cold when she looked at her, and her tone seemed to be squeezed out between her teeth: "You must know that it is still very easy for this palace to pinch a Ning Guofu to death." ”

"Yes, Miaoyue will tell her father and brother about this, thank you for your love." Lin Miaoyue's face turned pale, but she gritted her teeth.

The queen looked at her coldly and squeezed out a smile: "The daughter-in-law of this palace is not something that anyone can do if they want to, if you are tired of staying in the capital, go back to the countryside." After that, he turned around and waited for Lin Miaoyue to kneel down and beg, but Lin Miaoyue just saluted: "Xie Niangniang pointed out." If the mother has nothing else to do, Miaoyue will go back first, and she will also promise the princess to invite her to Ningguo Mansion to sit, I am afraid that she will wait at the gate of the palace at this time. ”

The queen darkened her face, squinted her eyes and looked at Lin Miaoyue dangerously, and sneered angrily: "If you are really a wonderful person, let's go!" ”

Lin Miaoyue knew that the queen was angry, but she had no choice, Ning Guofu wanted to be prosperous and rich, she also wanted to survive, instead of marrying the eldest prince, it was better to take the risk to find the fourth prince.

When she stepped back, her back straightened, and the thought in her heart was indeed firm.

The queen watched everyone leave, so she flipped all the things on the table to the ground, exhaled deeply, and suppressed the anger that erupted: "Do they think that this palace really can't cure them!" ”

The grandmother next to the "Niangniang ......" wanted to persuade her, but the queen just said coldly: "Get up and go to find the emperor!" ”

"But the emperor ordered, no one will be seen in the past few days!"

"What if the eldest princess commits suicide, will he see it or not?" The queen said coldly.

Mama opened her mouth in surprise: "Niangniang, the eldest princess is confined in the princess's mansion, we can't do it." ”

"Who said that this palace would do it himself? The eldest princess is not only greedy, but also very baring her teeth, if she is told that this method can bring down the Huainan Wang and his wife, she will be very happy! The queen's eyes were burning, and today's incident, she was even more sure that Ji Wuhuan must be eliminated, otherwise, even if the eldest prince can ascend to the throne one day, he is also a threat.

During these times when the queen was angry, she did not notice the person who had been hiding around the corner and not leaving.

"The eldest prince, let's go back." The little palace maid next to her was a little scared, if the queen found out that the eldest prince had been eavesdropping here, she would definitely beat herself to death.

The eldest prince playfully retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at the dark alley, and said lightly: "Go and prepare, I want to leave the palace." ”

The palace maid was stunned: "You have never been out of the palace, or ......"

"So before I die, I'm going out once." The ghost doctor said that his son died, and Nie Sheng's son had heard his mother mention that if he had the same disease as himself, if he couldn't be cured by the ghost doctor, he wouldn't be able to live, not to mention that now, not only this disease would kill him.

Before Shen Qing got into the carriage, he heard a voice behind him, and turned his head to see that it was Lin Miaoyue who came in a hurry.

Lin Miaoyue looked at her, then at Ji Wuhuan, and said with a smile: "Princess, the sun will come out tomorrow, I don't know if Miaoyue can invite the princess to go out for a walk, I heard that Yingfu Lou has a lot of new dishes." ”

Ying Fook Lou......

Shen Qing looked at her eyes full of smiles, and her eyes were faint: "I'm afraid there will be other things delayed tomorrow." She chose to refuse, and now she doesn't have much to think about.

Lin Miaoyue was busy saying: "Also, the upcoming Prince of Dayan, Miaoyue has heard some things from the tenth princess. ”

Shen Qing frowned slightly, was she tempting herself or threatening herself?

Ji Wuhuan took Shen Qing's hand and looked at Lin Miaoyue indifferently: "That prince is also very familiar with this king, so I won't bother Miss Lin." With that, he directly helped Shen Qing into the carriage.

The carriage slowly put aside, and the smile on Lin Miaoyue's face fell, gradually turning into indifference.

Shen Qing sat in the carriage and looked back, although she couldn't see Lin Miaoyue's expression clearly, she could see that she had been facing this side: "Her obsession is very deep. ”

Ji Wuhuan's face changed slightly: "Did she ever tell you that this king saved her in the first place?" ”

"She said she was captured by mountain bandits." Shen Qing said.

Ji Wuhuan held her search and shook her head slightly: "This matter was later checked by the king, those mountain bandits are not real mountain bandits, but just good people who were forced to go to Liangshan by their Lin family, she designed a whole village of villagers for a piece of land, and ran to the mountain where the group of villagers were hiding, and then asked people to report to the official that they were arrested by the mountain bandits, and then when I found out, those villagers had been arrested and killed, and there were few living people." ”

After listening to Ji Wuhuan's words, Shen Qing was simply stunned, she didn't expect Lin Miaoyue, a gentle and well-behaved young lady, to have such a deep and vicious mind, a whole village of people, she actually did such a thing just for a little selfish gain!

"Stay away from her." Ji Wuhuan took her hand and smiled slightly.

Shen Qing pursed her lips slightly, and raised her eyes to look at him: "In your eyes, am I also such an unscrupulous person?" ”

Ji Wuhuan Wan'er: "As far as I know, Mei Yunge has not killed unarmed innocent people. ”

Shen Qing sighed slightly, the weak eat the strong, but as a strong person, there must be a minimum bottom line, but Lin Miaoyue seems to have no bottom line: "Since she is so persistent, she will not give up easily, and she can come out, which shows that she did not promise the queen to marry the eldest prince." ”

"Her target, I'm afraid it's the fourth." Ji Wuhuan could see at a glance the ambition and brutality hidden under Lin Miaoyue's well-behaved white rabbit robe.

"The fourth prince has gone to Nanzhao now, and she can only return after the year, and during this time, she should not act rashly." Shen Qing thought about it carefully, and suddenly, Ji Wuhuan's hand holding her wrist paused, and it tightened and loosened, making her stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?" ”

"Qing'er, when was your menstrual period last month?" Ji Wuhuan asked.

"Do you think it's ......" Shen Qing also felt a little bad, it has been nearly two months since she had been in the same room.

Ji Wuhuan said: "Go back and find a doctor." "Anyway, carefully hug her into his arms, in the past days, he was alone, but then with her, it became two, and now if there is one more, it will be happier.

Shen Qing felt the joy of Ji Wuhuan beating the bottom of her heart, and her heavy heart also became happy. Even if everything is not over now, what can we do, don't we still have to live it.

The carriage swayed back to the Huainan Palace, Ji Wuhuan immediately went to invite the doctor over, when the doctor nodded, the Huainan Palace can be described as jubilant in the palace, and the maids and women almost rushed to tell each other, because the prince was so happy, he directly sent a quarter of silver to everyone as a reward.

The happiest person was Su Qiu, she chewed tears in her eyes, and hurriedly wrote a letter to Di Yun, and asked Di Yun to pass the news to Xia Rao.

And Ji Wuhuan also directly told the court for a three-day holiday, only saying that there was a happy event at home.

The court officials all said that he was too rampant, but he was pregnant, so he had to take leave directly, but what was even more strange was the emperor's attitude, not only did he not get angry, but he rewarded a lot of things.

When the old lady heard this, she was so angry that she didn't sleep all night, and the next day she went to find the second old man who was hiding in the hut by the lake.

"Now you want to watch the Sumu Mansion fall like this?" The old lady looked at the second old man who was sitting at the desk holding a book and couldn't stop reading, and said angrily directly.

Aunt Feng stood on one side and didn't dare to speak, but the second master didn't seem to hear it, until the old lady ordered people to throw all the books out of his room.

The second master uncharacteristically did not scold everyone as before, but just looked at his mother calmly and said, "When you burned her to death and didn't dare to kill him, you should have thought that there would be today." ”

"She's a corrupt woman, damn it!" The old lady cursed, but the second old man's eyes turned red, and he smiled calmly: "If it weren't for the glory and wealth and peace of the solemn mansion, how could my father send her to the palace?" Don't you just want her to corrupt women's morality and protect the glory and wealth of the Sumu Mansion and make it decent? ”

Aunt Feng didn't know that there was such an allusion, so she hurriedly lowered her head, but she despised the old lady even more.

The old lady froze, her face seemed to be a little unbearable, she only opened her eyes angrily, and teased: "I'm your mother anyway, do you want to force me to death and watch the fall of the Sumu Mansion?" ”

"It's long overdue, this extra decades of glory are what you owe him." After the second master finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and said no more.

The old lady stepped forward and slapped him, looking at his already gray hair, and couldn't cry: "How did I give birth to such a white-eyed wolf like you!" With that, he turned around and left.

As soon as the old lady left, Aunt Feng immediately stepped forward: "Master, are you okay?" ”

The second old man sighed deeply, looked at the direction where the old lady left, and pointed to the box that had been placed in the corner and no one was allowed to touch: "Take this and send it to Huainan Wangfu early tomorrow morning, and say that I gave it to the future...... The future of the little prince. "He never said the word 'grandson'.

Aunt Feng nodded hurriedly: "It's not early, the concubine will serve you to rest." ”

When the second master was lying on the bed, he asked, "How many days are there for the New Year?" ”

"Four or five days to go." Aunt Feng looked at him with straight eyes on the top of the tent, a little nervous: "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

The second master took her hand: "After so many years, I have worked hard for you." ”

Feng Shi pursed his lips slightly: "This is what a concubine should do." ”

The second old man smiled, said no more, and waited for Aunt Feng to go out, looked at the empty and dark room, and took out a white jade bottle that he had been hiding in the bedside sachet.
