Ruyi served He Xi and changed into a water-colored embroidered colorful cloud brocade dress, and tied her hair in a bun, and then said softly: "Why does the little lord provoke Your Majesty today? ”

He Xi slowly opened her eyes, the cold light in her eyes approached the eyes of the people, and she said, "Ruyi, I always feel that something is wrong-"

Her fingers groped for the table mountain, the fine porcelain tea cup, the cold touch made her fingertips feel a little slippery, and she asked puzzledly: "Isn't it?" What does the little master think is wrong? ”

He Xi always felt that something was right in front of him, and he could reach out and reach it, but he couldn't find that door, the door that knew all the truth, and if she was troubled, he asked: "The little master said something wrong, but the matter of the lady concubine?" ”

He Xi nodded slowly and said: "The child in Concubine Shu's womb can be regarded as His Majesty's first noble child, even if it is because of Xu Shao's affairs, His Majesty should not be so cold." ”

Ruyi said: "It really shouldn't be like this, besides, I heard that Lord Xu has made a lot of achievements in the local area recently, and he has won the support of the people." ”

He Xihuo got up, took Ruyi's hand and said, "What did you say?" ”

Ruyi was taken aback by He Xi, and hurriedly said: "Little master, you are pregnant now, don't be frizzy, the slave said, Lord Xu has made a lot of achievements in the place recently, and has won the hearts of the people. After all, it was just a sin of lax royal care, and it was just to appease those people's anger at that time. ”

He Xi asked: "Xu Shao has made achievements, when is it?" ”

Ruyi thought for a moment and said: "It was about the time when Concubine Xu Shufei was cold, and the slave maid only knew about it when she heard the pothos talk about it occasionally. ”

He Xi only felt that her hands were trembling slightly, and a chill was pouring out of her back, and she said, "You let Liang Bo check it, Xu Shao's current situation, the sooner the better-"

Ruyi was puzzled, and just wanted to ask, he heard the door of the inner hall creak and was pushed open, Zijin stood by the door and said, "Little master, the hot water is ready, but now you will bathe?" ”

He Xi quietly patted the back of Ruyi's hand, and Ruyi retreated.

At this time, in the Luhua Palace, Lan Xin was happily fiddling with the things that His Majesty had rewarded in the palace, and Linglong was also happy, she said, "Niangniang, why do you say that the queen is so unbreathable?" ”

Lan Xin's slender fingers paused slightly, and said, "Oh? How so? ”

Linglong said: "Even if the queen wants to get rid of Concubine Shu and the child in her womb, she shouldn't do it on the road in front of everyone, and go back to the palace, isn't there a means to be unaware?" ”

Lan Xin said with a heavy expression: "Then you mean that Concubine Shu fell by herself?" ”

She put the things in her hand in the brocade box in front of her, got up slowly, and Linglong immediately said: "Maybe it's not just the concubine who thinks like this, Your Majesty hasn't set any example now, and I think it's also suspicious." ”

The joy on Lan Xin's face faded slightly, Linglong saw it, and said busily: "No matter what things are, this lady concubine's child is gone, it's a good thing for us, the castor beans we put before failed to let her have a miscarriage, but I didn't want such a thing, it was really providential, fate, the prince in Niangniang's womb is His Majesty's first noble child, and the eldest prince is not even worthy of carrying shoes for our prince." ”

Lan Xin's hand covered her lower abdomen, and a little joy and pride appeared on her face, but it was only for a moment, and she said in frustration: "Having said that, but what this palace wants to get rid of more is the person on the phoenix throne, this palace puts musk pills in the luan tail qin of the Xi nobles, and hangs the medicine bag in his account, but he doesn't want to understand her, His Majesty actually pressed it down, and the matter of the flower pond, this palace doesn't believe that His Majesty can protect her until when——"

Her eyes gradually became fierce, she bowed her head and said something in Linglong's ear, Linglong's expression changed slightly, and she whispered: "Niangniang-this, if you let the Prime Minister know-"

Lan Xin glared at her fiercely and said, "Then I won't let my father know." ”

Xu Qing'er fell asleep for a few days, and finally slowly woke up, and during this time, the queen was only confined to Weiyang Palace, and Tuoba Chen did not do anything.

The days seemed to slow down all of a sudden, and everyone was waiting for that day, waiting for the day when the truth would be revealed.

The first thing Xu Qing'er said when she woke up was to ask the green pothos: "Green pothos, how is the queen?" ”

Luluo's eyes were full of hesitation, and he pondered for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty said that the evidence is insufficient and cannot be conclusive." ”

Xu Qing'er's originally pale face became more and more bloodless, and she said hatefully: "Pothos, serve the palace and get up, the palace is going to see Your Majesty-"

The pothos was busy: "No, Niangniang, you hurt your vitality after having a miscarriage, and the doctor said that you want to recuperate-"

"Pothos, serve the palace to change clothes-" She said with a firm expression, word by word.

The pothos was already crying, and Xu Qing'er said, "Why, now the palace can't summon you?" ”

Green pothos knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Niangniang, the slave knows that you are unwilling, but you can't spoil your own body like this, you don't feel distressed, the slave and maid are also distressed, the slave begs you, don't." ”

Xu Qing'er's eyes were also filled with tears, but more hatred, she struggled to get up and said, "This palace will come by itself-"

She just moved, and she was sweating, and the pothos couldn't, so she had to help her up.

Outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, Fuqing got the news, and hurriedly came in and replied: "Your Majesty, the lady concubine asks to see——"

Tuoba Chen put down the scroll in his hand and said, "Why is she here?" ”

Fuqing said: "Concubine Shu said that she had something important to return to Your Majesty. ”

Tuoba Chen sighed and said, "Let her in, it's windy outside." ”

Fuqing went to invite Xu Qing'er into the hall, and as soon as she entered the hall, Xu Qing'er knelt down and said, "Concubine see Your Majesty-" She didn't apply makeup, she looked more and more sick and weak, and her eyes even showed a faint cyan.

Tuoba Chen's heart also softened a little, and he said softly: "You are not in good health, you kneel at every turn, pothos, help your master up." ”

Xu Qing'er didn't follow: "Your Majesty, if you don't make the decision for your concubines, your concubines won't be able to-"

Tuoba Chen took a deep breath, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said, "You are still sick, how can you be so willful?" ”

When Xu Qing'er raised her face again, her face was already full of tears, and her voice trembled: "Your Majesty, why is the concubine sick?" Why can the queen mother still raise a baby in Weiyang Palace safely, and the concubine's child, the concubine didn't even see the last side? The concubine is willing to ask His Majesty to give the concubine a way. ”

Fuqing is the best at observing words and feelings, and when he saw Tuoba Chen's expression, he said: "Concubine Shuniang, there are still many doubts in this matter, you get up first, and it is worth the loss to kneel down like this." ”

Xu Qing'er didn't hear it, but just looked at Tuoba Chen fixedly, and was in a stalemate, when a little eunuch came in and replied: "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui has arrived." ”

Tuoba Chen said impatiently: "Come and make trouble for me-"

As he was talking, he saw Lan Xin enter in a peach-pink embroidered plum dress.

She gave a salute and said, "The concubine sees Your Majesty—"

Tuoba Chen's face lost his former gentleness, and he said, "Why are you here too?" ”

Lan Xin's face remained unchanged and said: "The concubine went to visit Concubine Xu Shu today, but she didn't want the palace people to say that Concubine Shu came to Your Majesty, and the concubine felt strange, so she came to see it." ”

Her beautiful eyes slowly swept over Xu Qing'er's straight body, and she said with pity and pity: "Concubine Shu is not in good health, why are you kneeling here?" ”

Tuoba Chen frowned dissatisfiedly, and Xu Qing'er said: "If Your Majesty doesn't give the concubine an answer for a day, the concubine will kneel here for a day and not get up." ”

Lan Xin's eyes rolled and said, "Hey-Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is like this, the concubine asks Your Majesty to give Concubine Shu justice." ”

Tuoba Chen looked at her and said, "Oh? ”

Lan Xin suppressed her thoughts and said respectfully: "Maybe Your Majesty thinks that the queen is the sister of the concubine, but no matter who it is, the sinner who murders the emperor's heir is a sinner in the calendar, and the concubine does not dare to cover it." ”

Tuoba Chen looked at Lan Xin with deep meaning, as if he was weighing something, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Fuqing, I went to invite the queen to come——"

Fuqing answered, and retreated lightly.

However, at this time in the Lingxiu Palace, He Xi received the news that Ruyi sent back, Liang Bo went to check Xu Shao, since he was exiled, he made a county guard safely, but the county was a barren land, but I didn't want Xu Shao to find a way to improve the geology and reclaim the wasteland.

Although his merits are not as good as those on the battlefield and his fame, he is very popular with the people.

He Xi muttered: "It's only autumn, and Xu Qing'er suddenly contracted the wind cold at that time, and it won't heal for a long time." ”

She suddenly said, "But there are other clues?" ”

Ruyi shook his head and said, "That's all." ”

He Xi said: "Although Xu Shao is proficient in commerce and trade, he is not proficient in agriculture, how can he increase grain production so quickly, there must be people with rich experience to help." ”

Ruyi said: "However, Lord Xu has been exiled here, why are there nobles who are willing to help him?" ”

He Xi suddenly asked: "Su Bingren is dead, but His Majesty the Ministry of Labor has a candidate?" ”

Ruyi shook his head.

He Xi said: "That's it, it turns out that we all thought wrong, no wonder, no wonder-"

She muttered, with a hint of loss in her eyes, it turned out that he had already known that he had to let himself meddle in this matter.

When Fuqing arrived at Weiyang Palace, Lan Ruozheng was wearing a queen's phoenix suit, a dark red moire palace dress, with gold beads the size of rice grains, densely embroidered with a nine-tailed golden phoenix, dazzling.
