However, Tuoba Chen didn't pay the slightest attention, just blindly urged the sedan chair to move forward.

Lan Ruo's expression was a little sneering, Qiao'er shook her head gently at Lan Ruo on the side, in the Ice Spring Palace, the imperial doctors led by Lu Chuan gathered together at this time, as if they were discussing what countermeasures, but from the looks of everyone, it could be seen that the situation was not very dangerous.

Seeing Tuoba Chen and Lan Ruo, who were dressed in bright yellow, everyone knelt down and saluted: "See Your Majesty, see the queen's mother." ”

"Get up, how is Concubine Shu's body?" Tuoba Chen walked all the way to the inner hall and asked eagerly.

Lu Chuan got up, followed behind Tuoba Chen half a step away, and said softly: "Back to Your Majesty, Concubine Shu's unstable mood caused her to have fetal gas, and she saw red, it couldn't be so serious, but the minister found something strange when he took the pulse. ”

Lan Ruo's fingers tightened slightly, Qiao'er stepped forward silently, her fingers tightly held her arm, she suddenly came back to her senses, and hurriedly asked, "What did Imperial Doctor Lu find?" ”

Lu Chuan looked at Lan Ruo, then at Tuoba Chen, and arched his hand: "Before, Concubine Xu Shu should have taken medicine that was easy to slip the fetus, which caused the fetus to be unstable. ”

"Medicine?" Tuoba Chen's face was very ugly, I don't know if it was Lan Ruo's illusion, she only felt that Tuoba Chen's gaze towards her was exploring, she pretended to be calm in her heart, and there was a look of surprise on her face.

Before Tuoba Chen interrogated, there was a sound of muttering in the lotus tent, thinking that Xu Qing'er woke up, Fuqing stood aside, and opened the curtain with great eyes, Tuoba Chen strode in, although it was smoked with incense, but there was still a faint smell of blood.

Xu Qing'er opened her eyes and saw that it was Tuoba Chen, and the strange thing in her eyes was that she did not have the dependence and worship of the past, but said a little weakly: "Your Majesty, our child-"

"Don't worry, our children are fine, but if you continue like this, I'm afraid you really won't be able to save it." Tuoba Chen said, ignoring the fact that the comfort in his words was not strong.

The two of them were obviously very close, and their breathing could be heard, but it seemed to be separated by a ravine.

Xu Qing'er's tears slipped down unconsciously, and she said with resentment: "Your Majesty, how can your concubine be calm?" ”

Tuoba Chen seemed to have a wave of anger in his heart, when he saw the account book in the court, he even had the intention to put Xu Shaoling Chi to death, but he was still worried about Xu Qing'er, who was still pregnant, so he suppressed the matter, he has been on the throne for almost three years, but he has never had an heir, although Tuoba Lin said that he was born by himself, but the children born to the concubines are different after all.

His attention to this child has exceeded everyone's imagination, but now, how can Xu Qing'er's state not make him not annoyed, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said softly: "I know that you are for your father's affairs, but he is not strict with his subordinates, and he has committed crimes against the wind, I can't help but punish him, tens of thousands of people in Shuzhong, just because of these court moths, displaced, abandoned wives and children, I can't let them down." ”

Xu Qing'er heard Tuoba Chen's words, and already knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and there was no room for turning, the sharp armor in the quilt was embedded in the palm of her hand, she tried to make a smile, turned her head slightly, and could vaguely see a delicate, dignified and luxurious beauty standing outside the account.

A little bit of hatred slowly appeared in her eyes, and she said lightly: "Today, I still want to thank the queen mother, and Concubine Hui, if they didn't come to inform the concubine, the concubine didn't know that things had happened to such a point, Your Majesty, the father made a mistake and should be punished, and the concubine, as the daughter of a criminal minister, should also sit together." It's just that the concubine is sure that His Majesty is gracious, and there is nothing wrong with the child in the concubine's womb, can you-"

Her tone was gentle, with the weakness of a serious illness, and she had lost a lot of weight because of this incident, Tuoba Chen stretched out his hand and put it on Xu Qing'er's hand, and said softly: "You can rest assured, you have my protection, no one can say anything, what you have to do now is only to take care of your body with peace of mind." ”

Xu Qing'er nodded with tears in her eyes.

A storm slowly dissipated like this, but the turmoil in the dark may only be known by the parties concerned. Lan Ruo originally thought that Tuoba Chen would be angry, and she thought that Xu Qing'er would cry and beg. It's just that everything seems to have come as a surprise to her.

Accompanying Tuoba Chen out of the palace gate of the Bingquan Palace, Lan Ruo said in a gentle tone: "Your Majesty, before the concubines came to the palace, they stewed the shredded chicken and white fungus porridge that Your Majesty likes to drink, do you want to taste some." ”

However, Tuoba Chen said: "I want to go back to the Heart Cultivation Hall to review the folds, and the porridge Fuqing will go and pick it up and send it over." ”

Lan Ruo's silver teeth were about to be crushed, since the last night when he broke into Lingxiu Palace, His Majesty had never been to his own Weiyang Palace, and for half a month, even Lan Xin's Luhua Palace had received more favor than himself.

Her eyes turned red at the thought of this, and she didn't speak, just stood in place.

Tuoba Chen turned around, and saw that Lan Ruo still maintained his posture, not moving at all, and he said coldly: "The queen is not going back?" Do you want to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall with me to review and rehearse? ”

Lan Ruo was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said repeatedly: "The concubine doesn't dare—"

"Don't dare? Since ancient times, there has been an ancestral system, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the queen is the master of the harem, the mother of the world, the example of women in the world, and even more strict with herself, can you know? Tuoba Chen said coldly.

"The concubine knows." Lan Ruo pressed his body tightly to the ground and said respectfully.

Tuoba Chen snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away.

Hearing the sound of the predecessors getting on the sedan chair, Lan Ruo's straight back slackened little by little, obviously it was the middle of summer, and the scorching sun roasted the ground with bursts of heat, but Lan Ruo could only feel the pain in the palm of the Dao.

Including the scorching sun, she didn't feel any temperature on her body, but felt more and more cold, Qiao'er hurriedly helped Lan Ruo up from the ground, looked at the palm that had been burned and reddened, and said distressedly: "Your Majesty is really ruthless, there is something that can't make Niangniang stand up and reply, look at this hand, no, the slave maid wants to go to the hospital to get some cool mint cream." ”

Qiao'er's chattering voice kept ringing in Lan Ruo's ears, Lan Ruo was bored for a while, shook off Qiao'er's hand, and said coldly: "Go back to the palace." ”

Qiao'er hurriedly stopped her mouth, whispered yes, and passed the sedan chair to Weiyang Palace.

In the Autumn Dew Palace, the rare good weather made the gloomy mood of the master and servant become cheerful. Several people worked together to clean up the hall, and simply washed the moldy clothes and quilts and put them in the courtyard to dry.

It's almost done, He Xi dragged his cheeks, looked at the clothes dancing with the breeze all over the yard, and looked in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chou'er sat beside He Xi and persuaded: "Little master, the sun is getting bigger outside, you are still injured, so go back and rest early." ”

"Such clear weather is really a bit rare, Lin'er must be very happy." Thinking of Tuoba Lin, the smile on He Xi's face became more and more gentle, remembering that he had a bitter little face, lying on the windowsill and looking at the light rain outside.

I remembered that he was sitting in front of the door with a small embroidery pier, waiting for the rain to stop and go to the yard to play.

One pile after another, scene after scene seems to linger, the warm fragrance lingering in the heart, invading the bone marrow little by little, sour and a little unbearable.

He Xi didn't feel that he took a deep breath, and the ugly child was distressed when he saw it, and hurriedly relieved: "Little master, relax first, now that the eldest prince is at Concubine De, the concubine will not treat the eldest prince badly." ”

He Xi naturally knew that since Concubine De had promised herself, she would definitely do her best for Lin'er, but-she supported her forehead and nodded slowly, maybe it would be most appropriate to follow Concubine De.

He Xi turned around and went back to the inner hall, Ruyi and Chou'er had already moved out all the useless and moldy tables and chairs, and for a while the entire inner hall seemed empty, He Xi walked over, and suddenly there was an empty sound under his feet.

He Xi thought she had misheard, and took a step back, but found that she had not heard it wrong at all, she looked around and found that there should have been a case table on the ground, but a few people moved the case table out, and this was revealed.

She was puzzled, Ruyi followed in, and found He Xi standing in place staring at a piece of the floor, and asked curiously, "What is this looking at, little master?" ”

He Xi didn't look back, she asked, "Ruyi, have you ever learned the trick?" ”

Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he say: "There are some people in the moon guard who specialize in mechanical arts, but although the slaves and maids understand, there are not many." ”

Although Ruyi's answer was a little embarrassing, this answer was enough to make He Xi happy, she stepped out of the way and said to Ruyi: "You come and see here." ”

Ruyi walked over a little suspiciously, she just passed, and found that things were different, she sighed, immediately squatted down, flexed her fingers, and knocked on the bluestone floor, the floor made a knocking sound, it was empty, Ruyi raised her head in shock and looked at He Xi.

He Xi said: "I just found out, but what is down here, we also need to find the mechanism to open it first." ”

Ruyi's eyes were shining, she followed the trajectory of the bluestone slab, and her fingers tapped the ground very rhythmically, as if she was exploring something, He Xi suddenly remembered that when she was in southern Xinjiang before, in the secret room in the courtyard of Gaoyuan, she squatted down and knocked on the floor according to the previous rhythm, long and short, but there was no reaction, but although there was no reaction, it seemed to give Ruyi inspiration.

She slapped her forehead and said, "The slave knows!" Before He Xi could ask her anything, she saw her pressing her ears to the ground.
