Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Dream Is Empty

Before this, Yu Wenrou probably didn't know that she was pregnant, and when she heard the news, she was stunned in disbelief for a long time, and then she jumped up.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, are you serious? You're not a concubine, are you? She insisted on sitting up, holding Xiao Zhu's sleeve tightly with one hand, and protecting her lower abdomen with the other, "Is the concubine really happy?" Does the concubine really have your majesty's child? ”

Pei Yaowei stood aside from afar, with the mentality of staying out of the matter, silently paying attention to Xiao Zhu's reaction.

His face gently comforted Yu Wenrou, and his every move was cared for. He was patient and told her over and over again that his concubine was pregnant, and he was very happy.

But is he really happy?

Pei Yaowei once saw him really happy - the day when Dengyong succeeded to the throne, but now, it is not the same as then.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Your Majesty, the concubine is really happy, after so many years, God has finally taken mercy on the concubine and bestowed such a blessing on the concubine......" Yu Wenrou whispered to him, and as she spoke, the phoenix eyes turned and glanced at the person standing in the distance, "Your Majesty, you don't know, the concubine heard that the queen mother and the queen mother were uneasy in the morning, so she thought about going to Heshou Palace to greet her, who knows, she didn't even enter Heshou Gate, so she received a lot of pomp and circumstance!" ”

As she spoke, she sniffed and looked like she was about to cry, "...... You know, the concubine has always been weak, how can she bear such grievances! Thinking about it now, I'm really afraid, fortunately, the dragon fetus is safe, otherwise, the concubine will have no shame on Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You must be the master of your concubines! ”

Xiao Zhu comforted her softly, and when he turned his head to look at Pei Yao, his handsome eyebrows frowned slightly.

Pei Yao was self-aware, and without waiting for Xiao to say anything, he took the initiative to step forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, what Concubine De said is very true, and the concubine also feels that Your Majesty should be the master of the wronged people in this imperial palace." ”

"Oh? The princess thinks the same way? Xiao Chai raised his eyebrows, looked back at Yu Wenrou, and continued: "That means that outside the Heshou Gate, the princess was indeed disrespectful to Concubine De?" ”

She lowered her eyebrows and said, "Since Concubine De said so, the concubine naturally didn't dare to deny it." It's just that the concubine is a stupid and reckless person, and it's really hard to tell which sentence caused the trouble, but fortunately, the only thing that the concubine has is a better memoryβ€”β€”"

She said, lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, and knelt down to ask for an order: "Dare to love Your Majesty's consent, listen to the concubine repeat the conversation with Concubine De, and then ask Your Majesty to personally instruct the concubine, so that the concubine can wake up and dare not commit it again!" ”

As soon as Yu Wenrou heard her say this, her face immediately changed, and she looked at her viciously: "You-"

Many words that could not be put on the stage, in front of Xiao Zhu, she didn't dare to scold them, because she seemed to be short of words for a while.

Xiao Zhu looked at her lightly and said, "Concubine Ai is not excited. ”

Yuwen Rou wanted to say something, but the moment she met his gaze, she was silent.

- She could see clearly that in the eyes of the Son of Heaven at this moment, the tenderness faded, and only the unfathomable remained.

Seeing that Yu Wenrou no longer spoke, Xiao said in a hurry: "The princess said yes." ”

Pei Yaoyu knelt on the ground and unhurriedly repeated every word that Yu Wenrou said not long ago, outside the Shoumen.

Xiao Chai listened to her calmly, paused, got up, and looked at Yu Wenrou condescendingly.

"Your Majesty, you ...... Don't listen to her nonsense, the concubine doesn't! The concubine didn't say those words! It's herβ€”it's her who arranges the concubines! It was she who framed the concubine! ”

At this time, Pei Qingtan, who had been standing quietly on the side for a long time, stood up at the right time.

"Uncle, Qing Tan can testify for Princess Chu, and what Princess Shicai said, word by word, is not different from the front of Heshoumen." She smiled disdainfully and looked at Yu Wenrou, "Concubine De Niangniang, let me guess, do you want to say that I am in cahoots with Princess Chu and frame you together?" ”

She said as she approached the bed, "Do you want to say that Princess Chu has me as a witness, and you also have accompanying palace maids to testify that you have never said those words that not only cursed the queen mother and queen mother, but also disrespected my aunt?" ”

As she spoke, she was already standing beside Xiao Zhu. Yu Wenrou held back her hatred and looked at her unkindly.

"Your Majesty......" Yu Wenrou stretched out her hand to reach Xiao Zhu's clothes, but she didn't touch anything.

Her heart trembled, but she still held on to her breath, and coquettishly coquettishly with him: "Your Majesty, look at Yecheng, she still resents the fact that the concubine caught her and the second son of the concubine in private, and she wants to embarrass the concubine!" ”

Xiao Chai seemed to smile, did not speak, and only looked at Qing Tan silently.

As soon as Qing Tan looked at him, he understood what he meant, and his courage became more and more sufficient.

"It doesn't matter, Concubine De can say whatever she wants. Now that you are pregnant with a dragonborn, it makes sense for your uncle to protect you. Just ......"

She slowed down her tone, pretended to be puzzled, bent down, leaned into Yu Wenrou's ear, and asked softly: "Concubine De Niangniang, those who are standing outside the Shoumen are all the guards of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, if Princess Chu is convicted because of your frame...... Tsk, you say, how tolerant can the Queen Mother be to the person who both cursed herself and harmed her daughter-in-law? ”

Yu Wenrou shuddered.

On the brocade quilt, the thin white knuckles turned blue due to excessive force, and the delicately embroidered patterns were tightened. For a long time, Yu Wenrou raised her head, sank word by word, and said to Xiao: "Your Majesty, it is the concubine who is confused and misremembered, and please forgive me, don't worry about the concubine!" ”

Qing Tan snorted very softly and retreated.

Xiao Chai stretched out his hand and raised Yu Wenrou's head, and tenderness appeared in his eyes again.

"My concubine has been driving for many years, and I should know what I care about the most."

He stroked her cheek lightly, stirring her up with a chill.

He said: "I care about the emperor's heir, and I also care about the concubine, I hope that the concubine can give birth to a son for me safely, and the concubine can't waste this opportunity herself." ”

Yu Wenrou tightened her back molars, and said reluctantly, yes, the concubine obeyed the order, the concubine, don't dare.

The news that Concubine De was pregnant, like a gust of wind, spread all over the palace overnight.

In the courtyard of Chenghui Palace, Pan Ruohui stared at the urn in front of him for a long time.

The ice cubes in the tank have turned into water. Cui Xuan stepped forward uneasily and called in a low voice: "Niangniang...... Don't ...... you"

"Don't?" Pan Ruohui's eyes were stunned and didn't move, but his lips hooked coldly, "What else?" Don't worry? Or don't be angry? ”

Cui Xuan's brows were tightly locked, the worry in her eyes was about to overflow, and she squatted beside her for a long time and persuaded: "Niangniang, you are relieved, what if Yuwen is pregnant?" She is a native of Zhou, and His Majesty never values her. This queen must be yours, it will only be yours! ”

"The position of queen, of course, will only be mine." Pan Ruohui moved slowly, exhaled slightly, and asked, "But Cui Xuan...... You say, Concubine De has been in the palace for many years, and there has been no movement, why did I just have it here, and she also has it? ”

Hearing this, Cui Xuan was stunned.

"Where is the certainty of this matter of having children? Xu Yes...... Maybe it's a coincidence! She persuaded her master like this, but she didn't have much confidence in her heart.

Since the wind of the Central Palace has blown, the supreme position of women in the world seems to be in front of him, but Pan Ruohui's suspicions have become more and more serious day by day.

For a long time, she suddenly smiled, as if she was sudden, as if she was helpless, and sighed: "Sure enough, she is still prescient......!" ”

Cui Xuan was surprised, "Who are you talking about?" ”

Who else can be said?

Naturally, it was the last person who was in the middle palace.

Pei Yaowei, that woman, was the first person in this lonely deep palace to see where her heart longed.

At that time, she was like an outsider, reminding herself as if watching the excitement that if she fell in love with Xiao Zhu, she was afraid that it would be difficult to end well.

She said that if you fall in love with a suspicious king, one day, you will become a suspicious person yourself.

In the past few years after her death, Pan Ruohui imagined countless times that one day in the future, she would stand beside Xiao Zhu and stand in front of her spirit as a new queen, telling her that she was wrong.

Pan Ruohui always thought that sooner or later, there would be a day when she could proudly face Pei Yaowei and tell her that the only person who really had a tragic life was herself.

But now, she has not ascended to the throne, but her dream has come to naught.

"That's it." She shook her head, lowered her eyebrows, hid a lot of unspeakable, got up and took Cui Xuan's hand, and walked into the dormitory.

The only thing I can grasp is the real thing. She thought.

Cui Xuan was beside her and comforted her softly: "Niangniang, don't worry, Concubine De naturally has the knife of Concubine Xian to deal with." From the safflower incident, this step, we have arranged it very well, you only have to give birth to the fetus now, when the time comes, they will fight to the death, Niang Niang is the most blessed woman in this harem! ”

"Hmm." Pan Ruohui nodded, "This palace knows." ”

The next day, Pei Yaoyu entered the palace early in the morning, talked to the Empress Dowager Li in Heshou Palace all morning, and after serving her to sleep in the afternoon, she took the time to go to the Xiancui Palace.

In the warm pavilion, Min Dai sent all the maids down, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Yesterday's incident in Qiongxuan Palace, didn't you scare?" ”

Pei Yao smiled and was about to speak, but she heard Min Dai herself say again: "Cough, too!" What kind of nonsense am I talking about! Princess Chu is sharp-toothed, Bing Xue is smart, and she has the help of Princess Yecheng, so it's good if she doesn't make Concubine De angry! Who can easily scare you? ”

Look at the tone......

Pei Yao sighed secretly in her heart, and said with a wry smile: "Eldest sister, are you angry with me?" ”

Min Dai glanced at her.

"Yesterday's turmoil was also sudden, and the younger sister didn't expect it in advance, which caused the eldest sister to worry, it was mine." She said, got up and confessed, "This is to accuse the eldest sister, and I hope that the eldest sister has a lot, don't be like me!" ”

Min Dai held on for a long time, snorted, and told her to get up.

"It's nothing else, this palace is no longer worried about you suffering now! It's just," she looked solemn and said, "Yu'er, you remember to me, walking in the palace, you have to be cautious in everything, especially one point - no matter what, you can't involve Princess Yecheng in the turmoil!" ”
