Chapter 291: Spies
Ning Shangmo thought for a while and said, "It's better to let her identify the eunuchs in this palace." ”
Yan Nanhao nodded and agreed: "Okay, take her to identify it." ”
Soon a little eunuch was recognized by her: "It was this father-in-law who brought me into the palace and placed me in a small courtyard." Then he was the one who brought me here. ”
When the little eunuch heard that he had been identified, he immediately rolled out of the crowd in fright, and kowtowed vigorously and begged for mercy: "The emperor spares his life, the slave doesn't know anything, it was Gonggong Liu who asked the slave to bring the midwife into the palace." The minions don't dare to disobey, otherwise the little ones will die without a place to be buried. ”
Yan Nanhao became angry when he heard this, raised his foot, and kicked him away: "Dog minion, in my palace, are you still afraid of other people's threats?" You won't tell me? Now I will let you understand what it means to die without a place to bury. ”
After speaking, he shouted: "Someone, pull him out for me, and kill him with three thousand six hundred and sixty-six swords." One more knife or one less knife will not work. ”
After hearing this, the little eunuch was so frightened that he fainted directly.
Ning Yunni begged for mercy on the side: "The emperor will spare him, and ask for blessings for our little prince." ”
Yan Nanhao slightly dissipated his anger at this time, nodded and responded: "Okay, just listen to Concubine Ai." ”
Then he raised his voice and said to the crowd, "Whoever dares to make such a mistake again in the future will be cut by a thousand cuts." ”
The palace maids and eunuchs all knelt down with a puff, indicating that they didn't dare.
At this time, someone had already arrested Gonggong Liu.
He is the great eunuch in Ning Yunni Palace.
Ning Yunni looked at him and asked puzzledly, "Little Liuzi, this palace treats you well." ”
Gonggong Liu kowtowed to her and replied: "The noble concubine treats me like a parent, little Liu Zi is forever grateful for your kindness, and let me be the chief eunuch in the palace." ”
"Then why are you doing this to me? That's all it takes for me, how can you be cruel to an unborn child, how innocent is he? Ning Yunni asked with a sigh.
"It's Xiao Liuzi I'm sorry for the concubine, the slave was thinking about this time, so I committed suicide to atone for my sins." Gonggong Liu kowtowed vigorously and begged for mercy.
Ning Yunni asked puzzledly, "Who made you do this?" ”
"Slaves can't say." Gonggong Liu shook his head and closed his eyes.
Ning Shangmo took out Chu Yue's portrait again and said, "Is it His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Xiliang?" ”
When Gonggong Liu opened his eyes and saw the person in the portrait, he couldn't help but darken his eyes, and then closed his eyes again and didn't speak.
Seeing this, Yan Nanhao kicked him to the ground and sneered: "If you don't say it, don't we know who it is?" ”
"Is it him?" Ning Yunni also asked out loud, she wanted to know who wanted to kill her child, as a mother, she had an instinctive desire to protect her child, so that she could prevent it in the future.
Ning Yunni was indeed very good to Father-in-law Liu, so Father-in-law Liu couldn't help but tell her the truth, seeing her asking so persistently, he had to nod painfully and responded: "Yes, it's him." ”
"Why did you come to kill my child for him? I don't treat you lightly. Ning Yunni shook her head in disbelief and asked.
"I'm not a Da Ling, but a Xiliang person. It was His Royal Highness the Second Prince who rescued me, and then sent me to this palace and asked me to be his eyes and ears. Usually he doesn't contact me, but I think he wants to wait until he needs to use it when he needs to. It's just that I didn't expect him to ask me to find a way to kill the child in the belly of the concubine this time. Father-in-law Liu said bitterly: "But I can't do it." ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Just yesterday, he sent a signal to ask me to meet, telling me that I must find a way to make the baby stillborn, if it is not successful, according to what he said, take the midwife he is looking for into the palace and deliver the baby to the concubine Niangniang, and then the midwife will find a way to let me cooperate with the midwife." ”
Ning Yunni sighed softly when she heard this: "So, do you want to strangle me?" ”
"It's small, it's supposed to be." Father-in-law Liu hurriedly kowtowed and apologized.
Ning Yunni waved her hand and sighed: "You should be kind enough to me, he forced you to make you in a dilemma." I know it would have been easy for you to kill me, but I should thank you for being safe with my child until now. ”
Hearing him say this, Gonggong Liu was even more ashamed: "Guifei Niangniang, I am sorry for you as a slave." The slave is a person who misses the old, so he will be grateful for the life-saving grace of the second prince of Chu Yue, but the slave is also grateful for the grace of your acquaintance. It's the slave who deserves to die, and he shouldn't hurt you and the little prince. ”
After saying that, he stood up and was about to crash into the wall and die.
Ning Shangmo had already prepared, reached out and popped out a pill, which hit the crook of his leg, and before he could touch the wall, his leg fell down as soon as it became weak.
"The concubine is about to give birth and can't see blood, if you really repent, pray for the concubine, if the little prince is okay, the emperor will forgive your guilt." Ning Shangmo said loudly.
Yan Nanhao nodded when he heard this, "I agree with this proposal. ”
Ning Yunni heard this, and a smile appeared on her face: "The matter is finally resolved satisfactorily." ”
Suddenly, another huge pain came, and she couldn't help but groan.
Yan Nanhao hurriedly asked, "Aifei, what's wrong?" Do you have a stomachache again? ”
Ning Yunni nodded in response: "It's our little prince who can't wait to come out." ”
Yan Nanhao hurriedly walked to her side and asked aloud, "Does it hurt badly?" ”
Ning Yunni endured the backache and abdominal pain, shook her head and smiled: "It's not very powerful." ”
Ning Shangmo understood that as long as she was really going to give birth this time, it would definitely be too late to find the midwife, and the midwife in the palace must have been sent away by Gonggong Liu in advance.
Therefore, she gritted her teeth and said to the midwife who was kneeling on the ground: "Are you willing to help the concubine deliver the baby?" ”
The midwife looked at her in surprise and asked, "Does the master still dare to use me?" I'm a bad person. ”
Ning Shangmo said with a smile: "Forgive you for not daring to do anything again, otherwise not only your whole family, but your nine clans will suffer, I believe you know the severity." This is your only chance to atone for your sins. ”
When the midwife heard this, she immediately nodded and responded: "I will definitely help the concubine to deliver the baby, and there will definitely be no accidents." ”
Ning Shangmo nodded and responded, "Okay, then you can prepare." ”
Yan Nanhao looked at Ning Shangmo with some suspicion and asked, "Do you really have to let her help Concubine Ai deliver the baby?" ”
Before Ning Shangmo could say anything, Yun Guifei said: "Your Majesty, I believe that everyone is kind, but sometimes they are forced to do something against their conscience, and we should give them a chance to change." ”
Yan Nanhao nodded when he heard this: "Okay, everything is up to Concubine Ai." ”
Then he said to the midwife: "You continue to deliver the baby for your concubine, if there is a little mistake, be careful of the heads of your nine clans." ”
The midwife immediately kowtowed and swore: "The slave will definitely do her best, dare not be sloppy, and ensure the safety of the concubine's mother and son." The heart of the noble concubine Niangniang Bodhisattva will definitely be blessed by the Bodhisattva. ”
Yan Nanhao waved at her, "You prepare." ”
The midwife nodded, stood up, and said with some confusion: "The slave has a reluctant request." ”
"Say!" Yan Nanhao frowned and asked.
"The emperor is the ninety-five, and he can't be in the delivery room, otherwise it will be unlucky for the mother. And this master is pregnant with Rokka, and he can't be in the delivery room, but others can. The midwife said cautiously.
Yan Nanhao waved his hand impatiently when he heard this, and said, "It's not so particular, I am a true dragon and don't care about this." ”
The midwife looked at Ning Shangmo in embarrassment, Ning Shangmo thought for a while and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, their midwives do have such a special attitude, and this is also responsible for the mother, let's go outside and wait." ”
The midwife nodded at her gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding." ”
Yan Nanhao was not at ease, he still wanted to say something, Ning Yunni opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, when you give birth to a child, the concubine must be ugly, the concubine doesn't want you to see such a situation, you better wait outside." ”
Yan Nanhao nodded a little reluctantly, and told him again and again, and then he waited with Ning Shangmo under the porch of the door.
A eunuch had already brought two soft chairs for them to sit and wait.
But Ning Shangmo was not in the mood to sit down, she said to Yan Nanhao: "Your Majesty, I'll go to the Queen Mother to see, how did I get the news that I haven't come yet, I'm afraid there will be something over there." ”
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but ask anxiously: "The queen mother was also notified of the birth of the concubine?" ”
Ning Shangmo nodded, "But it hasn't come all along, something should have stumbled over something." ”
The anxiety on Yan Nanhao's face deepened, and he hurriedly nodded in response: "Okay, you go over and take a look, bring a few more people." ”
Ning Shangmo pretended to smile relaxedly: "In broad daylight, it should be fine in the palace again, and besides, my kung fu is good." ”
Although she said so, Yan Nanhao was not at ease after all, and told Gonggong Hong to bring more guards with her to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace to have a look.
Now it is an eventful time, Ning Shangmo's disappearance has just been recovered, and those things happened to Yun Guifei again, the emperor secretly prayed in his heart, don't happen again, otherwise it really can't be helped.
Ning Shangmo led everyone to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace.
Walking to the palace gate, you didn't see a little palace maid on duty at the palace gate as usual.
She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be a visit, thinking that this was the time for the Queen Mother's lunch break, and they also secretly found a place to sleep?
Walking into the courtyard and turning the shadow wall, there was still no one. Ning Shangmo was even more puzzled in his heart, usually no matter what time it was, it was very lively with people coming and going.
The Queen Mother likes to be lively, and there are many palace maids and eunuchs in her palace, so there are people everywhere.
Today, however, not only is there no figure to be seen, but no sound can be heard, like an empty palace.
She couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in her heart, could something be wrong?
So she turned back and made a silent gesture to the guards and eunuchs who were also puzzled, and then led them to tiptoe in.
