Linglong's expression changed slightly, and she said: "Could it be that Niangniang is thinking - this matter is absolutely impossible, Concubine Shu has only been gone for a long time, if something happens to the queen again, not to mention that you are temporarily in charge of the harem affairs, there is a crime of improper supervision, that is, if Your Majesty suspects, you will be the first to suspect." ”

Lan Xin naturally wanted to get this layer too, she took a deep breath and said, "This matter is not urgent, and it is not too late for us to plan in the future." ”

In Weiyang Palace, since the last time Tuoba Chen came, no one has visited Lan Ruo.

She faced the empty palace all day long, the hustle and bustle that she was worried about was very rare at this time, the strap that she was originally wrapped around her lower abdomen had already been removed, now that Tuoba Chen already knew, in this palace, she no longer had any need to hide it.

Since that day, she is not unhappy, not unhappy, but that happiness, it seems that with the departure of Tuoba Chen, little by little, the palace people are whispering, today His Majesty has rewarded Luhua Palace with something, and tomorrow with Lingxiu Palace with something, passing around, left and right are just these two people are the most favored, Lan Ruo carefully calculated, always felt that these seven months were too long, if in these seven months, His Majesty was moved by Lan Xin's words, or, His Majesty felt that He Xi also understood himself, Is that she will be so lonely forever, as soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but shudder, Xu saw her strange appearance, Liuli hurriedly took a white tiger skin and put it on the queen's shoulder, and whispered: "Niangniang, it's almost October now, the weather is changeable, you don't want to catch a cold-"

Lan Ruo tightened the big on her shoulders, the delicate and smooth touch, as if it could give her a little comfort, she put her face on the edge of the big, groped carefully, and said, "Is there any news in the palace?" ”

Liuli said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that His Majesty promised to let Concubine Xi's family visit the palace before." ”

Lan Ruo sneered and repeated, "Family? Liuli, do you have a family? ”

Liuli was stunned, and when she saw the hatred on the queen's face, she had to return truthfully: "The slave maid has been bought into the palace as a palace maid since she was a child, and she has no family." Perhaps, but the slave only thinks that she is an orphan. ”

Lan Ruo looked at the gradually falling leaves of the sycamore in the courtyard and said, "What about this palace?" Do you know why His Majesty pities this palace so much? ”

Ruri shook her head.

Lan Ruo looked at her, if it was Qiao'er who followed her at this time, she would definitely know her own thoughts, but she didn't mind talking to her, because apart from her, only this cold autumn wind could accompany her, she muttered: "Because, this palace is the same as Your Majesty, since childhood is a child who is not favored, this palace is a concubine, and Your Majesty, and not the prince who was loved by the first emperor, we have been struggling in a deep cage since childhood, wanting to get rid of our own life experience and stand at the peak of thousands of people." ”

Liuli slowly helped Lan Ruo beat her legs and said, "Niangniang's hard work and slaves are all in her eyes. ”

Lan Ruo shook his head and said, "This palace is not afraid of hard work, what this palace is afraid of is that the hard work of this palace will not be rewarded." ”

Liuli's hand paused, and she said suspiciously: "Queen Mother, you are already the head of the harem, what do you want in return?" ”

Lan Ruo looked at the loneliness of the hall and said: "Just like now, the hard work of this palace is no more pregnant than that of Concubine Hui, so this palace wants to be rewarded - get that child." ”

The paranoia and fierceness in her eyes shocked Liuli into a cold sweat, and Liuli immediately bowed her head and said, "The queen mother will definitely get what she wants." ”

Lan Ruo stroked Liuli's hand and said, "This palace has had some headaches and fatigue in recent days, so let Wei Zhongliang come to show this palace." ”

Liuli was busy going down, today, it was Wei Zhongliang on duty at night, he could hear the summons of Weiyang Palace, and he went straight to Weiyang Palace in a hurry, when he passed by the Imperial Garden, he saw three people sitting in the pavilion to enjoy the scenery, because the weather was cold, according to the pavilion around also hung down a thick curtain, Wei Zhongliang only saw a shadowy figure, his face was covered by the curtain, he couldn't see it really, he only felt that the person was familiar, it seemed that he had seen it somewhere, and before he stepped forward to see it, the little eunuch who led the way reminded: "Imperial Doctor Wei." , the queen is waiting. ”

Wei Zhongliang came back to his senses and hurriedly followed the attendant away, and the people in the pavilion seemed to be aware of it and turned their heads to see it.

But she didn't see anything, and when He Xi saw her like this, she asked, "What did Mother see?" ”

Luo Che shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just feel that this autumn is strong, and I can't help but look around——"

He Qing sipped the hot tea in the cup and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty summoned us to the palace this time, but you doubt your identity?" ”

He Xi said: "If it weren't for the suspicion, maybe Concubine Hui would be more suspicious, but after today, presumably she won't have any more doubts." ”

She looked at Luo and said with a smile: "It's just that how does my mother know that this palace likes peach cakes?" ”

Luo Shi smiled and said gently: "Where are the concubines so powerful, naturally the prince told the concubines." ”

He Xi was stunned, lowered his head without a trace, and subconsciously covered his abdomen, He Qing saw this, frowned and asked, "Do you really want to keep this child?" ”

He Xi nodded and said: "Naturally, but don't worry, this child has only been related to this palace from beginning to end, and this palace will not spoil the prince's affairs." ”

Among the people around Tuoba Yue, He Qing is the one who has the most contact with He Xi, and he has some understanding of He Xi's temperament, he sighed and said: "The prince's heart, if it weren't for Niangniang, if he changed others, there would be no choice, but Niangniang must also stick to her promise, otherwise, even if it is me, I will not be able to protect you at that time." ”

Hearing this, He Xi said, "What? Has he already decided? ”

He Qing hummed and said: "The prince has already asked to leave Beijing a few days ago on the pretext of returning to southern Xinjiang to prepare for marriage. When I go back this time, I will be deployed, and I think there will be action soon. ”

He Xi only felt that his breathing was shortened due to nervousness.

Luo said: "Niangniang rest assured, there will definitely be deployments in the palace at that time, and the prince will definitely protect Niangniang's safety." ”

He Xi nodded, and a few people gossiped for a while, and then returned to Lingxiu Palace. In the Lingxiu Palace, Tuoba Lin was reading books in the apse, and when he heard the sound, he hurriedly ran out and saluted He Xi decently: "Lin'er has seen her mother, grandmother, and grandfather—"

Luo and He Qing hurriedly returned the salute: "See the eldest prince-"

Tuoba Lin stretched out his hand to block their etiquette, and said: "In the "Book of Filial Piety", it is said that those who are close to each other are not arrogant, they are not chaotic for the bottom, and they are not quarrelsome when they are ugly. Although Lin'er is not born to her mother, her mother treats me as if she were her own, Lin'er misses her kindness, and her grandfather and grandmother are the parents of her mother, and Lin'er should respect her. ”

He looked serious, completely like a little adult, He Xi touched his head with relief and said, "But what Gongsun Taifu taught you?" ”

Tuoba Lin nodded vigorously and said, "Gongsun Taifu also taught his son a lot of things. ”

He Qing said suddenly: "Then Gongsun Taifu taught the eldest prince the way to be a king?" ”

He Xi's face changed in an instant, and he said, "Father! ”

He Qing only looked at Tuoba Lin fixedly, with encouragement in his eyes, Tuoba Lin noticed Dao He Xi's slowly tightening fingers, and called out with some fear: "Mother Concubine-"

The voice was timid, like a frightened little beast, He Xi hurriedly came back to her senses, she leaned down and said, "It's okay, Lin'er is not afraid, the mother concubine is just a little uncomfortable, Lin'er will follow Mama down to read the book first, okay?" ”

Tuoba Lin's small face was full of worry, and his small hand touched He Xi's forehead and said, "Is the concubine infected with the wind cold?" Otherwise, let Aunt Ruyi call the imperial doctor to show her mother-"

His sensible appearance made Luo Shi a little moved, she looked at He Qing, and saw that his expression became more and more solemn.

He Xi shook his head and said, "The mother concubine is fine, the mother concubine will sleep well, the mother concubine and her grandfather and grandmother still have something to say-"

Tuoba Lin nodded, took Mama's hand and walked towards the apse, only took two steps, he stopped his steps, looked at He Qing and said: "Grandfather, Lin'er doesn't know what the way of a king is, but Taifu teaches Lin'er, benevolent and lovers." ”

There was firmness in his immature voice, and He Qing said approvingly: "You have learned very well." ”

Tuoba Lin smiled brightly and turned to leave.

After he left, He Xi said, "What do you want to know?"

He Qing said: "Niangniang, rest assured, since the eldest prince is generous and benevolent, he will inevitably be the same in the future, as long as he is not a person with ill intentions, it will be fine." ”

He Xi's heart sank, she opened her mouth, but she really didn't know what to say.

Night slowly fell, under the cover of the night, Wei Zhongliang arrived at Weiyang Palace, Liuli opened a corner of the corner door, and invited Wei Zhongliang in.

When Wei Zhongliang entered, Liuli said: "Queen Mother, Imperial Doctor Wei has arrived-"

Lan Ruo was half-lying on the beauty couch, she got up and said, "Come in." ”

As soon as Wei Zhongliang came in and saw that the queen's lower abdomen was flat, he knew that the queen had taken off the winding belt, he panicked and his feet weakened, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lan Ruo waved his hand and said, "It's okay, this palace has made it clear to Your Majesty." ”

Wei Zhongliang was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he say tentatively: "Then Your Majesty—"

Lan Ruo naturally knew what he was thinking, but said in a deep voice: "If Your Majesty wants to blame, you are afraid that you will not come to this Weiyang Palace to see this palace." ”

Wei Zhongliang said tentatively again: "The matter of Concubine Hui-"

Lan Ruo rubbed the corners of his forehead and said, "Naturally, everything is as usual, this palace has a headache and fatigue recently, you come over and take a look at this palace——"

Wei Zhongliang was completely relieved and said, "It seems that Your Majesty still favors Niangniang the most." ”
