Of course, the most important thing is her intuition, a woman's unique intuition, she seems to be able to see that when she mentioned He Xi, Tuoba Yue hid the restraint and feelings in her eyes, and only after a while did she hear Tuoba Yue sigh and say, "Then what are your conditions?" ”

Shu Miao's heart was relieved, as if the boulder that had been pressing on her heart was suddenly removed, she reluctantly suppressed the joy in her heart, and said slowly: "As long as Your Majesty promises to be a concubine, you can see this child every three months, even if it is - even if it is not as a mother and son." ”

Tuoba Yue looked at her, and suddenly there was a trance in front of him for a moment, and he asked puzzledly, "Do you love Tuoba Chen?" ”

Shu Miao didn't seem to know why Tuoba Yue would say that, but she still shook her head very frankly and said, "I don't love—"

Tuoba Yue stared at her abdomen again and said, "But—why are you still willing to keep this child?" Risking your life to leave behind a man you don't love? Is it really worth it? ”

After a long pause, she laughed a little sadly, and said: "It turns out that Your Majesty is not exempt from vulgarity, since ancient times, it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention the royal family of the Heavenly Family, most of the women are just tools to spread the branches and leaves, how much can the two be happy, but it is not the same mother and son, because the child is the driving force for us to continue to live, maybe this, men have never thought about it, it is always like this, even men like the new and hate the old will even take their own blood and bones to disgust, how cold this is, We can't-"

She came slowly, and it was clear that her words were full of accusations from women against men, but Tuoba Yue seemed to suddenly realize, and he muttered in a low voice: "You said, this child is your motivation to live, so——"

The light in his eyes was even worse, and the joy in his eyebrows seemed to be no longer hidden, and he nodded and said, "Okay, you can raise the fetus with peace of mind for the time being, and I will naturally find a way to meet your conditions." You can tell me what you know. ”

Shu Miao took a deep breath and said slowly: "The concubine doesn't know much, but the cause of the eldest prince's death is still half-understood, and the cause of the eldest prince's death has something to do with Concubine Hui——"

Tuoba Yue frowned and said, "Does it have anything to do with Concubine Hui?" ”

Shu Miao recalled carefully before saying: "At that time, the maid Pei and Zijin in the palace of Concubine Xi were the queen's people, but Zipei was later collected by Concubine Hui and did things for Concubine Hui, and then Zipei didn't know why she entered the eyes of the four princes and was promoted to concubine, their sisters were twins, one of them was suddenly favored, and the other was naturally dissatisfied, I have seen Concubine Hui and Zijin talking in private, as for what to say, I don't know." ”

Speaking of Tuoba Linlai, he suddenly remembered someone and said: "I also knew a thing or two about this matter at that time, it was said that there were assassins in the palace, and the eldest prince had an accident." ”

Shu Miao's eyebrows were full of disdain and said: "Your Majesty is in the royal family, and you actually believe these nonsense, at that time, rumors were rife in the palace, and they all said that Bai Cairen arranged the eyeliner in Concubine Xi's Palace, and those people should be in harmony with each other, so as not to alarm the guards and let people sneak into Lingxiu Palace, but what kind of person is Bai Cairen?" has no power and power, and although I have been in the palace for a short time, I also know that she has never been attached to the queen and Concubine Hui, and at that time, no matter what their feelings were before, Concubine Xi was her only support, and she would knock down her backer, and even a fool would not do it. ”

Shu Miao eased his breath and continued: "And this matter, no matter what, the biggest beneficiary is the queen and Concubine Hui, especially Concubine Hui, she is pregnant, at that time Imperial Physician Wei said that it is very likely to be a little prince, so that Tuoba Lin, who is the eldest son of the concubine, is a thorn in her side." But at that time, because of the ghosts in the palace, His Majesty was very cold to me, and I thought that Concubine Hui thought I was useless, and never told me many things. ”

Tuoba Yue just felt as if something was being moved in his heart, wasn't the death of the eldest prince because of Xiao Nai? At that time, he also investigated, Gongsun Jingyi was indeed connected with Xiao Tian, could it be that Gongsun Jingyi and Lan Xin had some deal?

Shu Miao saw that Tuoba Yue was silent for a long time, thinking that he didn't believe it, so he continued: "At first, I just thought that Concubine Hui used some means to blame Bai Zhi, but then something happened that made me realize that things are not so simple, that is, the birthday banquet of Concubine De, she insinuated against Concubine De with Ji Si Chen, so she angered Your Majesty and was imprisoned in the Shen Criminal Division. ”

Tuoba Yue knows, and he naturally knows who did what in this, but Gongsun Jingyi is not innocent, so naturally it is nothing.

Shu Miao only said everything she knew, she said: "Gongsun Jingyi is the only daughter of Lord Gongsun, Lord Gongsun's knowledge can worship the prince and the prince, as her daughter, how could she make such a mistake?" So I paid attention to inquire, on the night of the death of the eldest prince, she sent Concubine Hui back to the palace, and soon after, she had frequent contact with Bai Cairen, and after the evidence was searched, something happened to her immediately. ”

Tuoba Yue didn't know this deep meaning, he was sick during that time, and He Xi didn't seem to believe in herself, even if she made any moves, she wouldn't let herself know.

Shu Miao finally looked at Tuoba Yue and said quietly: "And in Zhaohua Temple, the concubine body heard that the concubine Niangniang in His Majesty's palace and the former Concubine Hui Niangniang are relatively close, Your Majesty, the disaster of the Lan family cannot be staged once in the calendar, the concubine body does not know much, only these, if Your Majesty wants to know, there is naturally a way to know." ”

The last sentence was what she wanted to say, Tuoba Yue took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I know all this, and what I promised you will naturally be fulfilled, and you can have a baby in Cuishan for the time being." ”

Shu Miao also breathed a sigh of relief, smiled with relief, and leaned back.

Tuoba Yue sat quietly in the room alone for a long time, and suddenly called: "Fuqing——"

Fuqing had been waiting outside the door, and when he heard Tuoba Yue's voice, he hurriedly pushed the door in, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you call a minion?" ”

Tuoba Yue hummed softly, and then asked, "But are you ready?" ”

Fuqing nodded and said, "It's all ready, and I can go back to the palace early tomorrow morning." Your Majesty has a good rest tonight-"

Tuoba Yue nodded, and suddenly he said: "Fuqing, you have the most time in the palace, you said that the Lan clan and Xiao Tian, will there be any collusion between them?" ”

Fuqing was stunned, frowned puzzled, and said, "Your Majesty—why did Your Majesty say this?" What did Mrs. Fang Caimiao say to His Majesty? ”

Tuoba Yue glanced at him coldly, Fu Qing hurriedly stretched out his hand and slapped him lightly on his mouth, and said: "The slave is too talkative, Your Majesty forgives the sin, according to the slave, the Lan family used to be the help of the four princes, and the Xiao family supported Your Majesty, but if it is said that the Lan family and the Xiao family are colluding, I am afraid that the possibility is extremely low, after all, if you help the other party, you will harm yourself, these two are smart people, I am afraid that they will not do this-unless-"

Fuqing raised his head and cautiously looked at Tuoba Yue's expression, and smiled awkwardly: "Unless- one of the people is used." It's not impossible, or—"

Fuqing's pupils suddenly widened, and he said: "Or, these two parties have a common enemy, except for this person, it is beneficial and harmless to both parties, they will join forces, and this person-"

"It's He Xi-" Tuoba Yue's hands were clenched together, and he said word by word, it turned out that she was forced to come here, he thought that as long as he was vigilant against the Xiao family, there were still his people in the palace to respond, there would be no big problems, but now he felt that he had always been proud of himself, and he was so stupid.

Fuqing also said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, what about you?" ”

Tuoba Yue seems to understand the deep meaning of Fuqing's words, the Lan family is dead, the Xiao family is now also checked, Concubine An is imprisoned in the palace, and the entire Xiao family's power in southern Xinjiang has almost been taken over by Tuoba Yue's people, and in the court, there is only one Xiao He serving as an official.

The most important thing is that He Xi is no longer there, is it necessary to break the current balance, just for a person who has already gone?

Tuoba Yue opened the brocade box and said word by word to Fuqing: "Fuqing, I think, she didn't die-"

Fuqing was so shocked that his mouth grew up, and he subconsciously said, "What? ”

As if realizing the inappropriateness of his words, he hurriedly changed his tone and said: "Your Majesty, don't scare the slave, Niangniang's body was found in the Autumn Dew Palace, although it was killed in the fire, but Doctor Lu examined the body, and it was indeed Niangniang and Ruyi's good, and Liang Qi also stayed in Beijing for many days to deal with the aftermath." How could it be—"

Excitement flashed in Tuoba Yue's eyes, and he said: "Fuqing, the relationship between Lu Chuan and Mu Wangfu, you must also know that Lu Chuan has no children and no daughters in his life, if he sees her as his own child, it is not an exaggeration, if she wants to repeat her old tricks, Lu Chuan will help her even if she risks bullying the king, don't you say?" ”

Fuqing was still a little puzzled, he said: "However, this golden cicada's method of shedding its shell, so the trick is repeated, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will find out?" ”

Tuoba Yue lowered his head and said, "But we just believe it, don't we, look at this-"

As he spoke, he turned the wooden box around, presented the contents to Fuqing, and then said: "This thing was found by me in the ancestral hall, and this wood carving should be on the luanweiqin." And that Luanwei Qinzhen heard that it was on her birthday, Mu Cheng personally carved it for her——"

Fuqing couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart: "Is it difficult? Could it be? ”

Tuoba Yue nodded, picked up the wood carving, and said in a deep voice: "Someone put this wood carving here later, who do you guess this person is?" ”
