This sentence seemed to completely anger Tuoba Chen, the temperature in his eyes gradually sank, and gradually became cold, and he said with almost no emotion: "I'm afraid? Will I be afraid, or will you be afraid? ”

Lan Ruo's expression froze for a moment, she looked at Tuoba Chen in disbelief, she didn't expect such words to come out of Tuoba Chen's mouth, she smiled miserably, and asked, "Your Majesty, are you a strange concubine?" ”

Tuoba Chen turned around, and seemed unwilling to even take another look at Lan Ruo and said: "The queen still don't think about it, Qiao'er, the queen is in poor health, you can serve your mother well, and after a few days, Concubine Hui will take care of it." ”

Qiao'er didn't dare to say anything, so she could only answer in a whisper, Lan Ruo looked at the emperor's back and walked out of Weiyang Palace, but he couldn't stop it, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, Tuoba Chen heard Qiao'er's panicked call, but the pace under his feet did not stop for a moment, resolute and ruthless.

Lan Ruo's body fell down softly, the placket on his chest was full of scarlet blood spots, Qiao'er's eyes were red, and she kept sobbing and crying, but Lan Ruo waved her hand, looked at the sky outside, and said a little empty: "Qiao'er, are you wrong about this palace?" ”

Qiao'er hurriedly shook her head and said, "Niangniang, you are right, you are right, you rest first, the slave has already sent someone to call Imperial Doctor Wei." ”

Lan Ruo still seemed to be unable to hear Qiao'er's words, and said to herself: "This palace suspects that the ugly child is Xia Dong, and would rather kill by mistake than let it go, is this palace wrong?" Am I not just thinking about myself? Back then, if the matter of Mu Wangfu was really poked out, I am afraid that His Majesty's throne would not be stable. ”

As she spoke, she coughed violently, Qiao'er looked at Lan Ruo's appearance, and seemed to be a little unbearable and said: "Queen Mother, the slave maid has a sentence, I don't know if I can say it-"

She peeked at Lan Ruo, Lan Ruo waved her hand, and said in a deep voice: "At this time, what should I say or not." ”

Qiao'er got the answer, and said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, you are now sitting in the position of the queen, there are many things, you can't be as willful as before, every move of you and Your Majesty is seen by the world, Your Majesty is like this, I'm afraid it is also to give an explanation to the civil and military officials, and then this matter is really a bit of a big trouble." ”

Qiao'er said that it was naturally a punishment like locking the pipa bone, Lan Ruo sighed and said: "This matter, when I talk about it, this palace is angry, where would this palace think that He Xi dared to disregard his will and come to Weiyang Palace to ask for someone-"

Qiao'er saw that Lan Ruo's mood had calmed down a lot, so she continued: "As for what Niangniang is worried about, the slave maid thinks-"

"Think what?" Lan Ruo said.

Qiao'er pondered for a moment and said: "The slave maid thinks that the affairs of Mu Wangfu are not to worry, not to mention that Your Majesty can't let go of the remnants of Mu Wangfu, it will shake Your Majesty's throne, even if it is the people who participated in it back then, as well as our lord, they don't dare to have the slightest relaxation, at this time, Niang Niang only needs to hide behind everyone's back, instead of investigating the events of that year, Niang Niang should think about how to suppress that Xi noble." ”

Speaking of He Xi, Lan Ruo's mood became more and more depressed, and she sighed: "This time, I used one of her maidservants' cheap life to call her a position as a concubine, which is really cheap for her." ”

Qiao'er on the side was a little stunned when she heard Lan Ruo's words, is it a cheap life for a maidservant? In this way, it was like a thorn piercing her heart, and all the words seemed to be blocked in her throat by this thorn, and she couldn't spit it out or swallow it, so it tortured her like this.

Lan Ruo didn't care about Qiao'er's abnormality at all, not so much that she didn't care, but that she didn't pay attention, she continued: "At this time, whatever this palace does will dislike Your Majesty. ”

Qiao'er's eyes rolled, and she was about to say something, when she heard the little palace maid outside the door report: "Queen Mother, Imperial Doctor Wei is here." ”

Lan Ruo closed her eyes a little tired and said, "Please come in." ”

Wei Zhongliang was quickly introduced into the inner hall by the palace maid, and as soon as Fang entered the hall, he saw Lan Ruo lying on the soft floor with a pale face, and he said respectfully: "Minister Wei Zhongliang sees the queen mother." ”

Qiao'er stepped forward and said, "Imperial Doctor Wei is here, show it to Niangniang." ”

Wei Zhongliang responded to thousands of voices, gave the queen a pulse, and said after a while: "Queen Mother, you are overthinking, and you need to take care of yourself." Less anger, less anger is. ”

The queen seemed to have expected such a result, pinched her eyebrows with both hands, and said: "This palace also wants to do this, but in this harem, where is there one thing that makes this palace worry." ”

She sighed, Wei Zhongliang frowned, looked around and said, "Please also ask the mother to retreat." ”

Qiao'er was a little unsure, but she still obediently followed everyone and retreated, and for a while, only Lan Ruo and Wei Zhongliang were left in the entire venue, Lan Ruo said lazily: "What happened, why is it so mysterious." Wei Zhongliang glanced at Lan Ruo and said earnestly: "Why does the queen mother not cherish her body so much, if she goes on like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to conceive the prince." Lan Ruo frowned subconsciously, his fingers trembled lightly on his abdomen, and said in a deep voice: "

The body of this palace-" She wanted to speak and stopped, and it was difficult to hide a little loneliness between her eyebrows. Wei Zhongliang sighed, he has been loyal to the queen since Mu Jin's death, no, to be precise, he has always been the queen's person, looking at the queen like this, he is inevitably worried in his heart, as a imperial doctor, he knows too well what the heir means to this deep-walled compound, the prince is the future of every concubine.

If there is no prince, don't say that it is a concubine, even if it is a queen, it is difficult to say whether you can laugh and say in the end.

He pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Niangniang, the slave got a piece of news before, and it is related to Concubine Hui's mother." ”

Lan Ruo sighed and said, "Lan Xin? What's wrong with her? ”

Wei Zhongliang had a worried look in his eyes, and he said, "The slave heard a judge from the Tai Hospital say that Concubine Hui is pregnant—"

"What?" Lan Ruo sat up in shock, because she got up faster, the whole person was dizzy, she reluctantly pulled the curtain on the side of the bed, the scarlet curtain showed a twisted form in her hand, her fingers continued to tighten, and the delicate tassels were also pulled by her and broke off. Her heart was beating wildly, and her heart seemed to be popping out of her mouth, and she asked again, "You say it again, what's wrong with Lan Xin?" Wei Zhongliang didn't dare to look at Lan Ruo's eyes, so he could only say in a deep voice: "Concubine Hui, she is pregnant." ”

Lan Ruo's face burst into a wry smile, and she muttered, "Why didn't she say it?" "Yes, Lan Xin's temperament, if she is really pregnant, I am afraid that the entire palace will know it now, but why didn't she say it? Wei Zhongliang didn't answer, just looked at Lan Ruo's eyes heavily, just in an instant, Lan Ruo understood, Lan Xin was guarding herself, when did Lan Xin have such caution?

Perhaps from the first time Lan Xin entered the palace, she knew her responsibility, that is, for the Prime Minister's Mansion and to help the queen consolidate her position, among them, the prince is an indispensable weight.

Now that the chess pieces have their own thoughts and plans, then things will be different.

Lan Ruo forced herself to calm down, and she asked, "Is this matter certain?" Wei Zhongliang nodded and said: "It's basically confirmed, this matter is the words of the court judge after drinking, and the slave heard it, so it was recorded, but the court judgment also said that Concubine Hui asked him not to make a noise, and I think I also wanted to hide it from everyone in the palace." Lan Ruo only felt that cold sweat slowly broke out in his palms, and Wei Zhongliang persuaded: "But if you think about it, it can be regarded as a good thing for the queen's mother, after all, Concubine Hui's child will definitely be fostered in the mother's house at that time."

Knee-down. Lan Ruo sneered and said: "Raised under the knees of this palace, Lan Xin is different from Li Jingui, this child, it is difficult to say whether he will be close to this palace at the time, even if he recognizes this palace, but Concubine Hui is still his biological mother, and this relationship can never be severed." Wei Zhongliang didn't seem to understand what the queen meant, and he asked tentatively: "Then the queen mother means not to stay?" He stretched out his hand and made a killing gesture, Lan Ruo leaned back on the soft pillow behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Don't stay?" This matter, I'm afraid it's not that simple, although it is the best policy not to stay, but this palace has its own plans. ”

Lan Ruo's eyes flashed with light, she glanced at Wei Zhongliang deeply, but she didn't know why, Wei Zhongliang only felt a chill climb up his back, and he said, "What does the queen mean?" Lan Ruo raised his hand, looked at his ten fingers dyed with cardamom and said, "Today, what you diagnosed in this palace is the happy pulse." Wei Zhongliang's face turned pale, and he asked, "Queen Mother-this-" The smile on Lan Ruo's lips became more and more intense, and she glanced at Wei Zhongliang obliquely and said, "What, isn't the words of this palace clear enough?" "Obviously, there are only two people in the hall, but Wei

Zhongliang still lowered his voice and said: "Queen Mother, you are taking a risk, if there is anything wrong with it, it will be a catastrophe." Lan Ruo was unmoved and said, "Forever?" Without a prince, the palace is still doomed, and you must know that the slut has been crowned a concubine. ”

Wei Zhongliang knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "That slave congratulates Niangniang, congratulates Niangniang." ”

The next day, the news that the queen was pregnant spread throughout the harem, at this time in Luhua Palace, Linglong brought a bowl of thick black medicine and handed it to Lan Xin, Lan Xin raised her head and drank it, and quickly took the candied fruit and put it in her mouth. changed his tone, and then said, "I heard that the queen is pregnant?" ”
