The emperor did not deliberately hide the news that he was almost assassinated in Biluo Palace, and Concubine Xian, as the head of the first palace of Biluo Palace, naturally had to ask one or two.

Concubine Xian Niangniang first went to the emperor to express her condolences to the emperor. The emperor said that he was not injured, which relieved Concubine Xian. is also concerned about Concubine Xian's pregnancy, saying that just in case, she will add guards to Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian declined the emperor's kindness, saying that she was just a harem concubine, and the assassin would not attack her idea, and the emperor should transfer the guards to his side.

Seeing that Concubine Xian was so aware of righteousness, the emperor became more tolerant of Concubine Xian.

And after the virtuous concubine Niangniang went to comfort the emperor, she went to the Jing nobles to appease the Jing nobles.

As soon as this virtuous concubine went to Jing Guiren, Jing Guiren said that she was very scared, and pulled Xian Concubine Niangniang into the inner hall to speak.

After assigning all the palace maids around her, Concubine Xian went straight to the point, "Last night, what happened?" Where did the assassin come from, he was so bold as to dare to assassinate the emperor? ”

"Not an assassin, it's my secret guard. Last night I used fireworks as a cover to release the flares that were in contact with the guards. I didn't have much hope, but I didn't expect the dark guard to really see it. ”

"Dark Guard? Sister's secret guard? ”

"Yes, it's my secret guard in the Western Chu Kingdom. Now I've got in touch with the Secret Guards I had cultivated. This makes it much easier for me to do things. ”

"By the way, when I'm done with these few days, I'll send two secret guards to protect you. There aren't many secret guards in the Tanglin Kingdom right now, and I have more important things to tell them. ”

"Thank you sister, sister don't worry about me, it's important to do serious things." Although Chu Yuege didn't know what Chu Shuyao was going to do, she had always trusted Chu Shuyao's decision.

"Even if it's an important matter, can't there be even two people left? The child in your womb is also the most important thing, right? This is the crystallization of the Tanglin Kingdom and the Western Chu Kingdom, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it? ”

"Then I'll thank my sister for the child in my womb. In the future, when my sister's little niece is born, my sister will definitely tell her to honor her sister. For Chu Shuyao's arrangement, Chu Yuege was very grateful. After all, in this palace, there are dangers. It would be nice to have close protection from the Dark Guard.

"Little niece?"

"Now that the child has not been born, how does my sister know if it is a boy or a girl?"

"Sister, I look forward to the unborn child in my womb being a little princess. Only in this way can she live this life in peace. "What Chu Yuege said is deeply meaningful.

Chu Shuyao also nodded, "What you said is right, if you give birth to a little prince, even if you have no intention of fighting for the throne, maybe the people of the Western Chu Kingdom will not give up this opportunity and take advantage of it." When the time comes, the child will be injured. ”

"Yes, my sister has already figured it out. I thought that marrying far away to Tanglin Kingdom would make the emperor suspicious, and he would never have children in this life, but he didn't expect it to happen suddenly. I was surprised and delighted, and I was caught off guard. is worried about whether this child can be born smoothly, and is pleased that he has a long time in this deep palace, and he finally has something to rely on in the second half of his life. ”

After waiting all day, Nighthawk finally sent back the news, saying that the Queen Mother had sent someone to quietly protect her, and it was absolutely foolproof.

And their people also found out that Meng Yichen also sent someone to quietly protect the Queen Mother? I wanted to come to Meng Yichen and the princess thought of a place.

In order to start a war, the Tanglin Kingdom will deliberately create changes in the Western Chu Kingdom. And the easiest way is that the Queen Mother was also assassinated.

Now, Meng Yichen has discovered Mu Lingxuan's intentions, and Mu Lingxuan has been waiting for the opportunity.

Things entered a period of confrontation, and for a while, they calmed down.

The New Year has arrived, and the Tanglin Palace must be celebrated with a banquet.

This is a celebration of the whole country, and many high-ranking officials, as well as their families, are among them.

At the banquet, Jing Guiren saw Shen Xian, and Shen Xian was sitting next to Gu Beicheng, and it seemed that she had lost a lot. Jing Guiren didn't want to pay attention to her nominal sister, but Shen Xian sent someone over to talk to her.

The maidservant girl beside Shen Xian came over to spread the word, saying that the young lady of Yongchang Houfu wanted to catch up with Jing Guiren, but I don't know if Jing Guiren is convenient?

Jing Guiren had no intention of catching up with Shen Xian, but in front of so many people, Shen Xian sent someone over, if she didn't agree, wouldn't it be obvious that the sisters were not harmonious?

So Jing Guiren agreed to come down and said that he would invite the young lady of Yongchang Houfu to go to Fangting Water Pavilion to catch up with the old days.

Jing Guiren quietly left the table, and others would not care. Even if he saw it, after seeing Jing Guiren and the young lady of Yongchang Houfu leave one after another, he only thought that Jing Guiren was catching up with his sisters at home.

Jing Guiren came to Fangting Water Pavilion first, followed by Shen Xian.

The two men looked at each other, neither of them greeting each other.

I'm afraid that Shen Xian's pride is still in the Shen Mansion. At that time, Shen Xian was a concubine, and she did have the capital to be proud of her.

But now, she is a quiet nobleman in the palace and the emperor's concubine. Shen Xian had to salute her.

Perhaps because she was not used to it for a while, Shen Xian hesitated for a while before saluting the Jing noble, "The courtiers greet the Jing nobles." ”

Jing Guiren laughed at this time, and helped him out, "Sister, hurry up and be polite, you don't have to be so polite." ”

"My sister asked me to come over to catch up, but is there something important? Are your parents in good health? ”

"Jing Guiren don't have to worry, his parents are in good health."

"I asked Jing Guiren to come over, but I just wanted to remind Jing Guiren of a few words. How the Jing nobles entered the Shen Mansion and how they entered the palace, the Jing nobles themselves knew it. If this matter gets out, it will not be good for anyone. For the sake of the entire Shen family, I won't talk about this matter lightly. But if you push me, I'll do anything. ”

Shen Xian suddenly said these words to her in the palace, obviously forced to be anxious.

can make Shen Xian anxious and grit her teeth with hatred, except for the incident in Gu Beicheng, there must be nothing else, right? After all, she didn't have much contact with Shen Xian.

But how did Shen Xian find out? Gu Beicheng doesn't look like a careless person? Since he married Shen Xian, he won't let her find out, right?

Shen Shu was puzzled in her heart, and secretly annoyed Gu Beicheng. There was a leisurely smile on his face, "Sister, what are you talking about?" I don't understand. ”

"On this Chinese New Year's Eve, it's very cold outside, so I'll go back first, sister." Sister, let's go back quickly! After all, at the banquet, the fire was strong, and it was too cold outside. ”

"Shen Shu, don't pretend you don't understand. Don't you understand these words? If you want to leave now, isn't that an escape? How? Are you weak-hearted? Are you scared? Afraid I'll tell you about it? ”

Shen Xian saw that Shen Shu was leaving, so she shouted out anxiously.

Shen Shu frowned slightly, secretly scolding Shen Xian for being a fool. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this palace? Is she shouting like this to tell others that their sisters are not harmonious?

Shen Shu laughed angrily, "Of course I'm not afraid, but sister, you should be afraid!" After all, the lives of hundreds of people in the Shen family are in the hands of my sister? These people's lives have nothing to do with me. ”

Shen Shu didn't bother to pay attention to Shen Xian anymore. If she talks to her too much, it is hard to guarantee that Shen Xian will not think that she is timid. And to continue talking to such a stupid person has angered this madman, who has done everything.

Shen Shu left quickly, and Shen Xian stomped her feet angrily. After that, I also left.

And Concubine Li, who came out to breathe, happened to see this scene.

Concubine Li laughed happily in an instant, and the coquettish laughter made people's scalps tingle when they heard it.

Concubine Li said in a weird manner, "These two sisters, are they really interesting? ”

"Go, send someone to investigate the relationship between Jing Guigui and her sister." Concubine Li instructed the palace maids beside her.

"Yes, when the banquet is over, escort the mother back to the palace, and the slave and maid will go to investigate." The palace maid beside Concubine Li is a practitioner. It was the prime minister who was selected by thousands of people to protect Concubine Li.

Now Concubine Li wants to send her out to do errands, but the palace maid is worried about Concubine Li's safety. Don't dare to act rashly.

Concubine Li was angry, "If you want to go, you can go quickly, this palace can't wait to catch the handle of Jing Guiren." ”

The palace maid didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately responded and went out of the palace.

By Concubine Li's side, there was only one palace maid left to serve.

Concubine Li stroked her belly, which was already slightly bulging, and was very happy. It seems that he has seen the scene of trampling Jing Guiren under his feet.

This one, without paying attention to Concubine Li, fell down the steps. The palace maid beside her didn't hold it with her life, and in a hurry, she rolled down with Concubine Li, acting as Concubine Li's meat cushion.

After Concubine Li fell down the steps, she was already speechless in pain. Because of the severe pain, his face was covered with sweat.

The palace maid was so anxious that she cried, if Concubine Li's little prince had any mistakes, ten lives would not be enough for her to compensate.

"Come on! Concubine Li fell. The palace maid shouted anxiously.

At the banquet in the palace, the guards were naturally patrolling one team after another, and with the shouts of the palace maid, the guards soon arrived and rescued Concubine Li.

There was a commotion outside, but nothing could be heard at the banquet.

The buildings in the palace were originally soundproofed. Now that the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra is flourishing at the banquet, where can I still hear the movement outside?

The head of the guard immediately made a decision, ordered someone to ask for a doctor, and moved Concubine Li to the side hall.

Only then did he ask someone to go back to the emperor.

At the banquet, everyone was drinking happily, and the guard's sudden reply surprised everyone and made them panic.

The sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra also came to an abrupt end.

Concubine Li's own brother, that is, the Prime Minister, stood up from his seat at once and hurriedly asked, "How is Concubine Li's mother doing now?" ”

The guard's face was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to answer, so he could only prevaricate, "The imperial doctor is now diagnosing and treating, and his subordinates don't dare to say anything." ”

"Prime Minister, follow me over to see Concubine Li." The emperor instructed to leave first.

The prime minister followed, looking in a hurry.

For the prime minister, he is indeed worried about his sister, but he is more worried about the child in Concubine Li's womb. That child, for the Fu family, is the dawn of hope!

If you can give birth to a prince one step ahead of the queen. Then he has the ability to make Concubine Li's prince become the crown prince, and eventually become the son of heaven in the Tanglin Kingdom.

This is something that the prime minister has been looking forward to for a long time, seeing that things have developed for the better, how can he not be in a hurry when this kind of change occurs?

The officials and their families at the banquet, except for the Prime Minister, everyone else sat honestly and tremblingly. As for what is going on in my heart, I don't know.

And when the emperor went to see Concubine Li, the queen mother also followed, and the queen mother also instructed the harem concubines to wait at the banquet and not to go to Concubine Li.

So at the current banquet, the emperor and queen are not there, and the prime minister is not there. Only the other officials and harem concubines were left looking at each other.

Originally, for such a banquet, the Queen Mother should have come. But before the New Year, the Queen Mother was infected with wind chill by a cold, and now she is still sick, so she did not come to the banquet.

After all, the road is too cold, for a banquet, it is not good to make the wind chill worse.

Everyone lost the joy of Chinese New Year's Eve, trembling and waiting for news.

Everyone understands in their hearts that if Concubine Li and the dragon fetus in her womb have a good time, I am afraid that there will be something wrong in this court.
