Fuqing stood behind the tree and listened in horror, and Chun Tao groaned for a long time before saying, "But, little master, why do you have to give birth to this child?" The fourth prince is now - you still insist on keeping the child, aren't you asking for trouble for yourself. ”

The wonderful voice was still gentle, without the slightest ups and downs, and she said slowly: "Chun Tao, many times, I am wondering, am I trapped in this palace all my life, waiting for me to be old, old, unable to walk, dead, casually carried to the imperial mausoleum, buried in an unknown mausoleum, no one remembers us, but with this child, I suddenly have the motivation to live, I want to watch him walk, watch him grow up, Chun Tao, I think this is how I am alive, do you understand?" ”

Chun Tao sighed, how could she not understand how many harem women she had seen all day, at first they were like delicate flowers, but soon, they were eroded by time and lost their vitality little by little.

While the master and servant were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind the tree, and Chun Tao subconsciously stood up and blocked in front of Shu Miao, who was also full of vigilance to protect her abdomen.

Fuqing walked out from behind the tree, his face was not much better than that of Chun Tao and Shu Miao, and when he saw Shu Miao's already bulging abdomen, his expression was even more complicated.

Chun Tao thought it was just a lazy guard, but she didn't want to be Fuqing who served by Tuoba Yue's side, so that the wonderful news of pregnancy would leak out at once, a fierce look flashed in her eyes, and she said word by word: "Why is Grandpa Fu here?" ”

Although the tone is respectful, but the complexion is very unkind, Fuqing is used to looking at people's eyes, how can he not see the hostility and vigilance of the master and servant, he simply asked straight to the point: "The little master is the heir of the fourth prince in the womb?" ”

Shu Miao pursed her lips, as if she was speculating on the deep meaning of Fuqing's words, and Fuqing didn't care, in fact, he was behind the tree, and he had already heard it almost, so this answer, in his opinion, it didn't matter whether Shu Miao answered positively or not.

He continued to ask, "Is the little lord planning to give birth to this child?" In what capacity, is it the heir of the royal family, or is it an ordinary person with no name and no surname? Could it be that the little master plans to let this child live among the people? ”

Fuqing didn't say a word, the blood on the faces of Shu Miao and Chun Tao faded a little, and finally Shu Miao's body seemed to be unbearable, shaking, Chun Tao felt sorry for his little master, hurriedly stepped forward to help, gritted his teeth randomly, and knelt on the ground with an ordinary sound, crying and begging: "Fu Gonggong, please spare us, since you already know, you must also know the bitterness in our little master's heart, please give us a way to live, it should all be for the sake of this innocent child's face, okay?" The slave has kowtowed to you. The slave has kowtowed to you—"

Saying that, Chun Tao really knelt on the ground, kowtowed, for a while, could only hear the dull sound of her forehead touching the stone road, Shu Miao's eyes were slightly red, and she knelt down, her face was already full of tears, she raised her face, looked at Fuqing earnestly, and said slowly: "Father-in-law Fu, I also knelt down for you, and please raise your noble hand and let me and the child in my womb." ”

Even if Fuqing is the chief eunuch who serves closely by the emperor's side, but he is also a slave after all, where has he received the master's courtesy, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Shu Miao up, frowned and said: "The little master is embarrassed to be a slave." ”

Seeing that Fuqing still didn't let go, he just wanted to kneel down again, when he heard Fuqing's voice say, "Your Majesty may not be able to tolerate this child-"

Chun Tao and Shu Miao's expressions were all stunned, as if they didn't understand the meaning of Fuqing's words, but Tuoba Yue's thoughts, Fuqing didn't want to do too much, and clarified to these two people, so he said half comfortingly: "This matter, the slave will definitely tell Your Majesty, but the little master rest assured, Your Majesty will not do anything to the little master, maybe this child will enjoy the wealth he deserves." ”

A glimmer of hope flashed in Shu Miao's eyes, but the light flashed too quickly, as if it was a sudden flame, and it was extinguished in the next moment, and she said a little discouraged: "Impossible, Your Majesty and the four princes, for the sake of the throne brothers, this child, no matter what, Your Majesty will not be able to tolerate it." ”

Fuqing said with a plan in his heart: "Little master is relieved, the slave promised you, even if His Majesty does not agree to take this child into the palace, the slave can save his life." ”

Chun Tao said with a happy face: "Is what my father-in-law said seriously?" ”

Fuqing nodded, Shu Miao was still a little skeptical, but seeing Chuntao's face full of trust, he also put aside the doubts and incomprehension in his heart for the time being, and according to Fuqing's words, he went back first to wait for news.

And Fuqing, sent the two away, and then hurriedly went down the mountain, towards Jinse Pavilion, but did not want to, to Jinse Pavilion, but found that Tuoba Yue had already gotten up, Jinbao was not there, asked the guards to know, Tuoba Yue just rested for a while, then hurriedly got up and left, as if he was going down the mountain.

Fuqing asked where he went, and everyone shook their heads to say that they didn't know, he wanted to go out to find it, and happened to see the eunuch in charge last night, who was personally bringing the palace people to Jinse Pavilion to sort out the housekeeping, and saw that Fuqing was a little anxious on his face, so he asked with concern: "Where is my father-in-law going in such a hurry?" ”

Fuqing looked at the people behind him, with brand-new curtains and curtains in his hands, and frowned, "What are you doing here?" ”

The eunuch in charge smiled and said: "I didn't know last night that Your Majesty didn't like Dongyuan, but after all, this Jinse Pavilion used to be lived by the palace concubines, and all the decorations were dressed up according to the palace concubines' preferences. ”

Fuqing sighed and said, "Do you know where Your Majesty has gone?" ”

The man nodded and said, "Your Majesty is really a virtuous monarch, in this small town at the foot of Cuishan Mountain, I heard that the temple of the original Mu clan is enshrined, I think I went there-"

When Fuqing got the news, he nodded, and then quickly bypassed the eunuch in charge and went in the direction of the mountain, only after taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to remind: "If I were you, I wouldn't move the things in Jinse Pavilion, and they would be kept intact." ”

After speaking, he didn't care whether the eunuch in charge heard the meaning of his words clearly or not, so he turned around and left, leaving a few palace people who looked at each other.

One of the palace maids was obviously a little bolder, and asked, "Father-in-law, should we still go?" ”

The eunuch in charge is not a very stubborn person, since Fuqing is a person by His Majesty's side, his words must be reasonable, he turned his head to look at the bright yellow color symbolizing the emperor's power in the wooden plate held in the hands of the palace people, almost without hesitation, and returned the same way with the people.

It only took half an hour for Fuqing to find the temple, and after walking a few steps, he saw Jinbao standing at the door.

He breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty is inside?" ”

Jinbao also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, you can come, Your Majesty has been in it for a long time, and there are no servants around to serve, and the slaves don't dare to see what the situation is inside-"

He had a bitter face, as if he was going to cry in the next second, Fuqing hurriedly waved his hand to stop, and then said: "Okay, okay, it's good to have me here, you go back, first take care of the things in the Jinse Pavilion, don't let some palace people who don't have long eyes move anything, annoying Your Majesty." ”

Jinbao nodded again and again, bowed, and then walked briskly as if it was an amnesty.

Fuqing stood outside the door for half a pillar of incense, but there was still no sound inside, and he was worried about Tuoba Yue's body, so he could only stubbornly say loudly: "Your Majesty, the slave wants to report again." ”

The people inside came back after a while: "Fuqing, come in." ”

Listening to the voice, it seemed that there was still a smile, Fuqing was stunned, and hurriedly entered, only to push open the door of the temple, and saw Tuoba Yue half-kneeling on the futon, staring at something in his hand carefully, Fuqing did not dare to step forward, so he knelt by the door, and said in a low voice: "The slave disturbs Your Majesty, but the slave really has something important to report." ”

Tuoba Yue didn't look back, but still hung his head, as if he was looking at something that interested him very much, Fuqing had to continue: "The slave saw the original favorite concubine of the fourth prince in the maple forest of Cuishan today, Mrs. Shu Miao, and Mrs. Shu Miao seems to be four or five months pregnant. ”

Tuoba Yue moved a moment, but his hand was curled tightly, as if he was holding something, and he suddenly chuckled, the laughter was not as cold and lofty as usual, it was a heartfelt laughter that made people feel happy.

He said: "Okay, good, great, Fuqing, you go to Mrs. Miao, and say that this child, I am willing to accept, he is the heir of my Tuoba lineage, there is absolutely no reason to be outcast, and no matter what the four princes have done, but the child is innocent after all, tomorrow I will return to the palace, and send Lu Chuan to protect the fetus for her, once the child is born, I will take the child into the palace, and the internal affairs government has drawn up a name to pass it on to my name." ”

He said a lot in one breath, with a brisk tone in his tone, Fuqing was stunned, and there seemed to be no doubt and shock in his tone, more like, more like a decision immediately, and he suddenly reacted: "Tomorrow? Will you go back to the palace tomorrow? ”

But didn't they just come yesterday, why are they so anxious, they have to return to the palace tomorrow, and Lu Chuan is the holy hand of the Tai Hospital, Tuoba Yue's Gu poison has not been removed, and he has been led to head wind, and it is Lu Chuan who has always been responsible for asking Tuoba Yue for peace pulse, how can he casually let Lu Chuan be in charge of the child in Shu Miao's womb?

The deep meaning of Tuoba Yue's words made Fuqing not know which one to ask for a while, but Tuoba Yue didn't seem to give him a chance to refute at all, he suddenly leaned over in front of the tablets of the Mu family and bowed, then got up and went outside like a gust of wind.

Fuqing only had time to hear one sentence clearly: "Yes, early tomorrow morning, I will leave for the palace." ”
