Ruyi heard this, obviously a little annoyed, she said: "Concubine Hui Niangniang's words are about evidence, the eldest prince hit Niangniang, but Niangniang did not fall, and the eldest prince apologized to Niangniang first, Niangniang not only did not give up, but also slapped the eldest prince twice, why is it so reversed in your opinion now?" ”

Lan Xin glanced weakly in the direction of Ruyi and said in a deep voice: "There are only a few of us present, naturally what is what Miss Ruyi said, everyone can see the slap marks on the face of the eldest prince, but no one has seen the concubine fall, Your Majesty, how to decide this matter, it depends on Your Majesty." ”

Her watery eyes are like spring water, and the dependence and trust in them can't help but make people feel pity.

Tuoba Chen coughed lightly and said, "Okay, Linglong, let's help your mother get up first, kneeling like this, I'm not afraid of the cold weather and hurting my knee." ”

He Xi followed Lan Xin's movements, looked up and down, and suddenly said, "Concubine Hui, if Fang Cailin'er knocked you down, why didn't you have a trace of dust on your clothes?" And you've only been kneeling on the ground for a short while, and there's a stain on your skirt? ”

Lan Xin was stunned, but Linglong reacted quickly and said: "As a concubine in the palace, how can you not always pay attention to your demeanor, this is dusty, naturally the slave maid has already helped to beat it, why should the Xi nobles pick bones in the eggs at this time?" ”

Lan Xin couldn't help but praise Linglong's quick response, and said softly and weakly: "The concubine knows that the noble Xi protects the eldest prince and treats him as his own, but he can't slander the concubine in vain, where is the concubine such a vicious person, Your Majesty, you have to believe in the concubine." ”

Linglong also said: "Your Majesty, this Xi nobleman is now relying on himself to raise the eldest prince, so he gets carried away, according to the slave maid, the eldest prince is raised by the Xi nobleman like this, I am afraid it will——"

Smack-

A loud slap sounded in the Imperial Garden, it was He Xi.

She raised her hand and said angrily: "Bold slave maid, slandering the prince plainly, and even in front of His Majesty, I tell you, you can slander me at will, but this prince only returned to my palace yesterday, and he was raised by Concubine De in the past, are you referring to Sang scolding Huai, saying that Concubine De is not it?" ”

Linglong's originally ashamed expression turned pale as snow in an instant, she knelt on the ground in a hurry, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the slave maid doesn't have it, the slave maid doesn't mean that, the slave maid is just, it's just, I care about the mother's body, and I am depressed for a while, and I don't choose what to say." ”

She kept buttoning her head, her forehead hit the cold floor, making a dull sound, Tuoba Chen frowned, looked at He Xi's determined appearance, and sighed: "Since you know that you are wrong, I will punish you for kneeling here for an hour today, as for Concubine Hui, the emperor is not strict, go back to the palace and think about the past." ”

Although it was not a very heavy punishment, Tuoba Chen made it clear that he was on He Xi's side.

Where is Lan Xin so easy to admit defeat, there seemed to be something flashing in her eyes, and she suddenly held her stomach in pain and slowly leaned against the flower tree on the side and said: "Ah-my stomach-so painful-Linglong, Your Majesty-I am so painful." ”

Her face was already a little pale, and now she was so out of shape, she looked even more pitiful, Linglong didn't even have time to care about the fact that she had just been punished for kneeling, so she hurriedly got up and hugged Lan Xin and said hurriedly: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare the slaves, the Imperial Doctor, go and call the Imperial Doctor—"

Tuoba Chen was actually not very angry, seeing Lan Xin like this, he couldn't bear it, Fuqing ran down to ask the imperial doctor with a look in his eyes, Tuoba Chen said: "Help Concubine Hui to the nearest Chu Yu Pavilion." ”

Chu Yu Pavilion was originally an uninhabited palace, and it was very close to the Imperial Garden, just a place for the concubines to rest, and now it seems that Chu Yu Pavilion is the most suitable.

Tuoba Yue stood in place with a look of embarrassment, Tuoba Chen's original good mood was all destroyed, he glanced back at Tuoba Yue and said: "The bamboo slips you sent into the palace, I have already seen them, they are very good, in the future, since you like them, you can stay in your own house, it is better to give them to me." ”

Tuoba Yue arched his hand and said: "Brother Chen knows, since His Majesty still has something to do, Brother Brother will retire first." ”

Tuoba Chen was concerned about Lan Xin's condition, so he waved his hand, Tuoba Yue didn't even look back at He Xi, and left in a hurry, the moment the two passed by, He Xi only felt as if a string in his heart had been plucked hard, almost broken.

Tuoba Yue left the palace all the way, at the gate of the palace, Yue Qi was waiting for Tuoba Yue, at this time it was already past the time of the next dynasty, he saw that all the adults came out of the palace one after another, but he didn't see his own prince, and remembered that today he sent the book Jane into the palace, is there something wrong?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a man dressed in red, striding from the palace road, his whole body was fierce, as if it was a sharp sword, ready to pierce the enemy's heart at any moment.

Yue Qi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, but it's going well?" ”

But Tuoba Yue didn't answer Yue Qi, his jaw tightened, he turned over on the horse, and his legs clamped the horse's belly fiercely, and the white horse under him was in pain, raised his front hooves, and galloped away.

Left the stunned Yue Qi, and by the time he reacted, Tuoba Yue could no longer be seen in front of him.

He hurriedly patted his horse and chased in the direction of Tuoba Yue, and found all the way that Tuoba Yue's direction was not to return to the Xian Wangfu, nor to the suburbs of Beijing, but to go out of the city and run in an unknown direction, more aimlessly.

Yue Qi almost tried her best to follow behind Tuoba Yue, but no matter what, there was still no way to catch up with the good horse under Tuoba Yue.

Finally, Tuoba Yue slowed down and stopped faintly outside a valley, at this time, Yue Qi realized that this direction was actually the direction to Shuzhong.

After this valley, after a few days' journey, you will arrive in Shuzhong, and the seventh day of the moon stepped forward and arched his hand: "Lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

Tuoba Yue lowered his eyes and looked at his hand holding the reins, his knuckles were distinct, and even a trace of paleness, and faint pale cyan blood veins.

This sentence is not only what Yue Qi asked himself, but also what he wanted to ask himself, yes, what's wrong with him?

He looked in the direction of Shuzhong and asked, "On the seventh day of the month, what happened when I was seriously ill?" ”

Yueqi didn't know Tuoba Yue's intention to ask like this, but he still said honestly: "You have been infected with the epidemic, and it has not been cured for a long time, and your subordinates have no choice, so they risked their lives to break into the Miao Domain, but before their subordinates went deeper, they met Mr. Gao, and then, when the subordinates came back with Mr. Gao, Miss Xiao Nai was already there, and the military doctor said that the epidemic was solved." ”

Tuoba Yue raised his head and looked at the halo in the distance, was it really just that? But why, he couldn't remember anything, why did He Xi have such an expression when he talked about the things in Shuzhong today.

He seemed to be unwilling to say: "Then, during this period, she was in the palace-"

Yue Qi frowned and said, "I heard that the little lord angered His Majesty in Zhaohua Temple and was sent back to the palace to be grounded, until- until the ugly child had an accident, he didn't come out." ”

Tuoba Yue suddenly remembered someone and said, "I heard that Lianxin was sent back?" ”

Yue Qi nodded and said: "Yes, I just heard that it angered Your Majesty and was punished to go to the Huanyi Bureau, it is strange to say, she went back to the palace with the little master, and even met mountain bandits on the road, Xu was arranged by the little master, Lianxin took advantage of the chaos to escape back, and hid outside, and waited until the wind passed, before daring to come back." ”

Tuoba Yue only felt that some of these things were too coincidental, as if something was being hidden.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, so I had to give up.

In the palace, He Xi first asked Ruyi to take the eldest prince back to the palace, and he followed Tuoba Chen to Chu Yuge.

The fragrance of flowers in the Chu Yu Pavilion is lingering, because no one lives in this pavilion, and is in the imperial garden, Rao is not using any incense, but also naturally contaminated with the fragrance outside, and it will become more and more quiet when the time comes.

He Xi touched it first, and the futon on the soft collapse was soft, and it seemed that the palace people also cleaned it from time to time and changed it every day.

Linglong helped Lan Xin to the bed and lay down on the bed, and she got another cup of ginseng tea, and said, "Niangniang, drink some hot tea, slowly." ”

But Lan Xin frowned, unwilling to touch the ginseng tea, and after a while, she saw Fuqing coming with Lu Chuan.

As soon as Lu Chuan entered the cabinet, he saw a few people in the room, and he wanted to salute in turn, so he heard Tuoba Chen's voice and said, "The ceremony is avoided, let's go and show Concubine Hui first." ”

Lu Chuan got up and walked to Lan Xin's side, Lan Xin's breath was a little disordered, and he gasped slightly and said to Lu Chuan: "Trouble Imperial Doctor Lu." ”

Lu Chuan nodded respectfully, took a handkerchief and put it on Lan Xin's wrist, and then carefully put his finger on Lan Xin's pulse.

After a moment's effort, Lu Chuan withdrew his hand, and said with a smile on the corner of his lips: "Niangniang recently, have you lost your appetite, insomnia, dreams, and irritability?" ”

Before Lan Xin could speak, she heard Linglong Qi say, "That's really the case, Imperial Doctor, what's going on?" ”

Lu Chuan smiled, and suddenly arched his hand to Lan Xin and Tuoba Chen: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Concubine Hui, Niangniang is happy." ”

Tuoba Chen said happily: "But really? ”

Lu Chuan nodded and said: "Naturally, it's true, and it's been a month, and now it's not long before the queen mother's pregnancy." ”

Lan Xin lowered her eyes slightly, and she said with a shyly face: "Your Majesty-"

Tuoba Chen was overjoyed, and when he heard Lan Xin calling him, he hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, took her hand and said, "I'm here, are you still uncomfortable?" It just so happens that Lu Chuan is here, if there is anything uncomfortable, you can tell him-"
