"Queen Mother, why are you here?" Chang Yonggui was surprised, the emperor only stepped into the Qianqing Palace in the early court, and the queen followed behind. Let's say that the holy decree sent to Chuxiu Palace yesterday couldn't be clearer, the fourth elder brother is still placed in the elder brother's office, and there is a special person waiting for him. The concubines of the harem have no will, and they are not allowed to step out of the palace gate without permission.

"Why can't Hongu come?" The queen frowned coldly, already very displeased. "Mianxin in this palace is still sick, do you still want to shrink in Chuxiu Palace and pretend to be deaf and dumb?"

Chang Yonggui knew that the queen's posture must be unstoppable, and there was no point in arguing here, so he smiled respectfully: "Niangniang said so, and the slave also knows it in his heart." It's better to ask Niangniang to rest in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and wait for the emperor to retreat from the court, Niangniang, if you have anything to say, it's not too late. ”

Despite the queen's reluctance, she nodded helplessly. Although he thought that this was the only way to do it, he still came up one by one: "The fifth elder brother was sent to the Yongshou Palace last night, and the rest of the imperial doctors were assigned to the rest of the palaces for detailed examination at this time." Bengong just doesn't understand, why can the concubine take the fifth elder brother with her to take care of her, but Bengong can't? ”

"Mother." He Huan hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be impatient, there must be no father-in-law around the emperor at this time." It's better to wait for the next dynasty to talk about it later. Let the slave accompany you to the Heart Cultivation Hall and wait! ”

Chang Yonggui also stubbornly persuaded: "What He Huan said is that the queen mother should wait a little longer." ”

"That's all there is to it." The queen sighed extremely dissatisfied, and she wanted to leave with Hehuan's hand, and saw the cuizhu of Qixiang Palace hurriedly coming this way. "It seems that it is not only the main palace that is anxious, but there are many people in the six palaces who are impatient."

"The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an." Cuizhu's sweat fell down her slightly pink cheeks, sticking to her sideburns and continuing to break her hair. The breath is also slightly uneven, obviously coming all the way.

Seeing that the queen didn't speak immediately, He Huan raised his voice and said, "Why are you so flustered? ”

Cuizhu was mixed with joy, as if he was trying his best to hold back his panic and said: "The imperial doctor asked for the pulse for my nobleman, and said that it was ......" choked at the most critical time, Cuizhu did it deliberately according to Liu Mianmian's instructions.

Sure enough, the queen was interested, and a little coldness and confusion permeated her bright eyes: "It can't be that she is infected with smallpox, right?" Bengong looked at the slender waist of the noble person, and his body was weak. In addition, with the emperor's southern tour, it is inevitable that the boat and car will be tired, and the body will be more and more collapsed. ”

With faint tears in her eyes, Cuizhu nodded with difficulty, her mouth full of bitterness: "The queen mother is like a god, and she guessed a little." Previously, the imperial doctor did discover that there was an internal supervisor in Qixiang Palace who was infected with smallpox, and the nobleman was still fine at that time. But this morning, the noble man looked not so right. The imperial doctor took a closer look and said that it was a noble person, and it was unfortunate......"

"Then do you dare to come out, aren't you afraid of infecting others with a bad disease?" He Huan couldn't help but be frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly blocked in front of the queen. He took a handkerchief and handed it to the queen to cover her mouth and nose. "The emperor has already made a decree early in the morning, and all palaces are not allowed to move around in vain. What's the matter with you, and you dare to speak in front of the queen? ”

Cuizhu knelt down with a puff, and shook her head again and again: "The queen mother forgives her sins, and the slave maid just broke out of the palace gate in a moment's hurry." All along, it was Cuiping who served beside the nobles, and the slaves and maids asked themselves if they had not been in contact with the nobles, nor had they had any contact with the servants who had been contaminated with evil diseases before. At this point, the nobleman also considered it very carefully, and then decided to let the slave and maid come. ”

"Alright, you can go back." The queen snorted coldly, and was already very unhappy in her heart: "Chang Yonggui also heard your words, and he will naturally tell the emperor later." "I was thinking of joining forces with the Liu family to deal with Ruguifei, but in the blink of an eye, I was infected with smallpox. It's really better to count people than heaven, thinking so, the color on the queen's face gradually sank.

But Cuizhu refused to leave: "Queen Mother, there is still a matter of slaves and maids that have not yet been clarified." It's really life-threatening, and I don't dare to deceive my mother. ”

"Oh?" The queen couldn't see what was hidden in the slave's heart, and only her intuition could vaguely feel that it didn't seem to be a good thing.

"It is true that the noble man was infected with smallpox, and the imperial doctor also confirmed that the noble man was three months pregnant." Cuizhu tried her best to say it with joy and worry, simple and very shocking. "Ask the queen to send more imperial doctors to save the noble lady and the dragonborn in the belly of the nobleman." Cuizhu lay on the ground, motionless.

I don't know if it was her sweat or the tears that fell because of anxiety. After all, the queen looked at the beads drop by drop, shattered on the smooth masonry with almost no gaps, and her heart was like numbness.

Or you can think of it this way, if you find that Li Guiren is pregnant when the wind is calm, it may be comparable to Ruguifei. It is enviable, but at this time, when she was infected with smallpox, Liguiren suddenly became three months pregnant, which is a bit ridiculous.

What's more, in the queen's heart, she has always been unable to tolerate the children of the rest of the palace concubines, but the Liu family is also the one who stands on her side. The mind that is constantly chaotic is really indescribable. "Chang Yonggui, can you hear Cuizhu's words clearly?" After all, thousands of words were only gathered into this one sentence, and the queen pinned her hopes on Chang Yonggui.

"The queen is relieved, and the slave listens really brightly. It must be a good word to the emperor. Chang Yonggui only felt that this matter was not so simple, but he couldn't tell what was strange for a while. I just thought in my heart that as soon as the queen left, I had to send the news to Yongshou Palace, so that Concubine Ru could make plans as soon as possible.

Pei Shuang pushed open the door of the tight room, walked in, and hurriedly closed the door.

"It's better not to be so careful every time you come. Anyway, the food is brought in, so why do you need to work for your aunt! The cool color of the catkins' face did not dissipate at all because of Peishuang's arrival, but added a deep disgust, and the delicate facial features also tightened a little. As for the things that are worn, they can be saved, and a dead daughter, do you still want to be tolerated by those who please yourself? Joke! ”

"Did you take gunpowder or something?" Pei Shuang was particularly dissatisfied with Liu Wu's attitude: "Dare to love the sulfur in the artillery battle, can't it be stuffed into your mouth!" There was a strong smell of mush when he spoke. With whom you owe you. Rubbing his hands, Pei Shuang glanced at the catkins coldly: "If you want to say that you owe you, it is not my young lady, but your good sister carved out of the mold." ”

When it comes to Liu Mianmian, Liu Mao only feels that something is stuck in his throat, soft and uncomfortable, he can't swallow it, he can't spit it out, and he can't live or die. For a moment, she sank her head like a muffled gourd.

Pei Shuang is a little proud, people, there is always a weakness, isn't it. The weakness of her catkins is that good sister who is hypocritical. "Why, Liguiren, you're not in a good mood. You don't like to listen to what the slave said, but you still heard it too clearly, and you were speechless for a while. Seeing that Liu Wuwu still didn't care about her, Pei Shuang took a big step forward: "Why is Li Guiren so unhappy!" ”

"Enough, I'm not a Liguiren, I'm a damned Liu Mianmian. Why do you want me to live, what do you want from me? "The heart is like ashes, and there is no other emotion in the empty eyes except for the darkness that does not end. Liu Wuwu curled the corners of her lips, and said helplessly: "What if I stay in this world, people whose hearts are dead can't help the concubine." ”

"You're at ease." Pei Shuang leaned down and held up the catkins curled up around his knees, with a thin slightly pointed chin: "The slave and maid are not here to ask you to help you with anything." On the contrary, there is great news for you. After a pause, Pei Shuang deliberately whetted her appetite: "It's about your good sister." ”

"What?" Liu Wuxu raised her head, and there seemed to be a ray of dazed and poignant light in her dark and empty eyes: "Sister, what's wrong with her?" ”

Raising his eyebrows coldly, Pei Shuang sighed slightly: "Liguiren, don't worry, the slave maid has just come to inform you." The smile was mixed with a little hatred, and Pei Shuang's voice was illusory and unreal: "That fake lady in Qixiang Palace is pregnant, three months old. The emperor has been informed! ”

Liu Wuwu suddenly let go of the hand that was holding him, straightened up slightly, and said as if he believed it: "What our sisters have experienced in the past, I must be as clear as the concubine Niangniang. Since she knows it in her heart, how can she easily believe her sister's words? Auntie, don't you want to get news from me!

But I am imprisoned in this eternal life palace, how can I know what is going on outside the palace? has done so many meaningless things, don't you think it's redundant for the concubine? ”

Pei Shuang smiled disappreciatively and let go of his hand, finally satisfied with Liu Wu's reaction: "Aren't you still very jealous of her!" Even if she is your own sister, won't she be jealous! Don't forget, she climbed up by stepping on your bones, and her scenery today was originally yours. ”

"What does Auntie want to say?" This time, Liu Wuxu smiled: "Doesn't my aunt know that I won't be pregnant?" "It's not that she doesn't have a little jealousy in her heart, but these jealousies are really not enough to make her resent her own sister who she wants to protect." My sister is better than me, and she has already discovered Fu Jin's tricks. It is not the credit of Susu to have today's creation. ”

"You're calm." Pei Shuang gasped, and finally calmed his heart. How could there be such a stupid smart woman! Liu Fu is really still wise, but why does she have to bear it for others stupidly? "Pregnancy is naturally a great happy event, but it's a pity that your sister's fate is not good, and she is infected with a vicious disease smallpox, I'm afraid that child is also very lucky!"

"Smallpox?" Liu Wu's eyes widened in surprise, and then it was a sad sneer: "Creation makes people ......" Tears ran down her haggard cheeks, and slowly fell weakly.
