Lan Ruo felt dizzy, she didn't appreciate Wei Zhongliang's flattery. Wei Zhongliang didn't speak anymore, but stepped forward and said, "Niangniang will give her hand to the minister." ”

Lan Ruo stretched out his wrist, Wei Zhongliang put his hand on Lan Ruo's wrist, carefully probed for a moment, and wrinkled unconsciously between his eyebrows, Xu was worried that the queen would find something abnormal, so he hurriedly lowered his expression slightly, and said with a relaxed face: "The queen's mother is just a little cold, and it is not a big problem, but the mother's monthly letter is still accurate?" ”

Liuli calculated on the side and said, "It's still accurate." ”

Wei Zhongliang said: "That's good, a few days ago, Niangniang drank a lot of medicine in order to pretend to be pregnant, although the drug is small, but it will still hurt the vitality after all, but since it does not affect the monthly letter, it doesn't matter, the minister prescribes some nourishing drugs to Niangniang, and says that it is a safe fetus, and Niangniang can rest assured." ”

Lan Ruo has always trusted Wei Zhongliang, so he said: "It's all up to you, Concubine Hui's fetus should be carefully taken care of, and no traces should be exposed." ”

Wei Zhongliang nodded again and again: "Niangniang, don't worry." ”

Lan Ruo saw that he already had some gray hair between his sideburns, so he sighed with emotion: "Count it up, you have been by the side of this palace for a few years. ”

Wei Zhongliang never thought that Lan Ruo would mention this matter, and sighed sincerely: "Yes, when Niangniang was not the queen, the ministers served Niangniang, and now that the Mu clan is divided, Niangniang has been in the back seat for three or four years——"

Lan Ruo nodded and said, "Yes, the body of this palace has always been conditioned by you, and it is strange to say, how did Your Majesty know that this palace cannot be pregnant?" ”

This sentence rolled through Wei Zhongliang's heart like a thunderbolt, and he fell to his knees in a panic and said: "Queen Niang Mingjian, the minister is loyal to Niangniang, and has been trying his best to regulate Niangniang's body, Niangniang doesn't want Your Majesty to know, and the minister has not missed a word to Your Majesty——"

Lan Ruo's eyes flickered on Wei Zhongliang's body, and he said softly: "Back then, this palace only promised you the identity of an envoy of the Tai Hospital, and you were willing to betray the Mu family, after so many years, the envoy of the Tai Hospital is still Lu Chuan, can you be resentful?" ”

Wei Zhongliang's hand tightened unconsciously, and said: "Compared to when the minister was doing things for Mu Wangfu, his status has improved a lot, Lu Chuan is the royal servant of His Majesty, and the minister knows that it is not the fault of the mother, and the minister is patient and can wait." ”

Lan Ruo saw that he was sincere, so he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, after so many years of your hard work, this palace is also in the eyes, if there is a suitable opportunity, this palace will definitely push you, you can rest assured." ”

Wei Zhongliang hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, and waited until Lan Ruo had no other instructions before quietly leaving from the corner gate.

He left the Imperial Garden, carefully observing all the way, and when he saw the guards who were not patrolling, he walked quickly in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

When Fuqing saw Wei Zhongliang, he said with some doubts: "Your Majesty has not summoned you, and the night is already dark at this time, what is Imperial Doctor Wei?" ”

The autumn night was cold, but Wei Zhongliang's forehead was dripping with fine sweat, and he said in a low voice: "Please also ask Father-in-law Fu to go in and help me get through, just say that I have something important to ask for a performance." ”

Fuqing hesitated a little, he looked at the Heart Cultivation Hall that had blown out the lights, and said with some embarrassment: "What do you have to say today?" ”

Wei Zhongliang was a little anxious, and his voice unconsciously raised a little and said: "It's about the queen's mother, it's too late, but something big will happen - when the time comes, we can't afford it." ”

Fuqing looked at Wei Zhongliang with some hesitation, he didn't see Wei Zhongliang like this, it didn't look like a fake, so he didn't dare to delay, and said in a deep voice: "Imperial Doctor Wei wait a while——"

After that, he got up and walked towards the inner part of the Heart Cultivation Palace, he gently knocked on the door inlaid with gold rosewood, and said, "Your Majesty—"

Tuoba Chen hadn't fallen asleep, and Wei Zhongliang had already woken him up, and when Fuqing came to knock on the door again, he was completely sleepy, sat up and said, "What's the hustle and bustle?" ”

Fuqing pushed open the door of the palace, just stood at the door and whispered: "Back to Your Majesty's words, Imperial Doctor Wei came late at night, saying that he had something important to return, and what did he say about the queen's mother-"

Tuoba Chen waved his hand and interrupted Fuqing's words: "Go and bring it in, I want to see what is important to him——"

Fuqing was surprised that the emperor was so calm, but he didn't dare to put his thoughts on his face, so he could only hang his head and retreat. Soon, Wei Zhongliang was brought into the palace.

Tuoba Chen retreated from everyone in the hall before he said in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on? ”

Wei Zhongliang's face turned pale and said: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the minister has been following your instructions for so many years, adding a small amount of saffron to the queen's medicinal diet, and she did not prevent pregnancy, but recently Niangniang summoned Wei Chen, saying that she was unwell, and the minister gave Niangniang a pulse, only to feel that the pulse was weak and weak, and there were faint signs of kidney deficiency, but the minister asked Niangniang's monthly letter, which was also accurate, if the minister expected it to be good, Niangniang was afraid that she would take the medicine all year round, and her body was afraid that she was already injured, if she took it again, she was afraid that it would be- Will you be infertile for life, but do you need to stop the drug now and remedy it? ”

Tuoba Chen's hand unconsciously covered the jade wrench finger in his hand, and he glanced at Wei Zhongliang with a heavy look and said, "The queen has been taking medicine for four years." ”

Wei Zhongliang only felt a cold sweat on his back, and nodded: "When the queen mother was still Concubine Lan, she had already started taking it-"

Tuoba Chen took a deep breath and said, "Then I ask you, what will happen if you continue to take it or don't use medicine to recuperate?" ”

Wei Zhongliang said in a deep voice: "If you continue to take it, not only will you be infertile, but you will also be weak and weak, if you don't take it, and don't use medicine to regulate, the symptoms of physical weakness will be reduced, and as for the heirs, it will be up to God to have mercy——"

Wei Zhongliang's words were very vague, but Tuoba Chen still understood, and the corners of his lips suddenly overflowed with a smile, and said, "It's okay, you just stopped the medicine, and you don't need to recuperate, I don't need a sister-in-law from the Lan family-"

Wei Zhongliang said with some doubts: "But where Concubine Hui is—"

Tuoba Chen glanced at him slowly and said, "Who said that Concubine Hui must be a prince?" Lin'er is very good, and the prince who does not have the maternal family to rely on will not have the intention of seizing the heir so early. ”

He took a deep breath, Wei Zhongliang pondered for a moment and then said, "But the prince who does not have a maternal honor guard, if he inherits the throne in the future, it will be difficult." ”

Tuoba Chen smiled arrogantly and presumptuously: "Mother clan? They will only do whatever they want by relying on a part of the same blood as the Son of Heaven, but their relatives will not - don't you say? ”

Wei Zhongliang's cold sweat was layer after layer, almost soaking his clothes, he couldn't understand the emperor's thoughts, and even said that he didn't dare to guess the thoughts of the Son of Heaven at all, their hearts were filled with the family and the country, the world, and the struggle for power, but there was no goodwill.

He didn't dare to look at Tuoba Chen's eyes, so he could only humbly lie on the ground, eager to turn into a trace of dust, and when he dissipated with the night wind, when he came out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the night was already thick like ink.

He walked towards the Tai Hospital with vague steps, and only when he entered the house, he felt the heavy breathing of a man in the room, and he shouted: "Who is there!" ”

There was a sinister laughter in the darkness, the sound seemed to be rubbing the ground with grit, and the man's voice sounded: "Why is Gong Wei so flustered-"

Wei Zhongliang's face changed, and he said, "Why are you?" This is the Imperial Hospital—part of the Imperial Palace, you—"

The man slowly came out of the darkness, his whole body was wrapped in black cloth, revealing a pair of eyes, shining faintly in the moonlight, his pupils were slender, different from ordinary people, even the color of the pupils was pale yellow, like a poisonous snake, Wei Zhongliang didn't like such eyes very much, but he felt like a man's back, he turned his face away, and said in a deep voice: "This is the palace, if you are caught by the guards, you will be hacked to death as an assassin." ”

The man seemed to have heard some big joke, and laughed ruefully: "Hack to death with a knife? Wei Gong might as well guess, is it their knife that is fast, or my Gu poison is fast? ”

Wei Zhongliang didn't want to entangle with him more, so he said: "Say, you came to find me, there must be something important." The man said, "Indeed, the master sent me just to inquire about someone—" Wei Zhongliang said, "Who wants to alarm you?" The man snorted coldly and said, "Woman, a woman, a woman from southern Xinjiang." ”

Every time he said a word, his tone became a little heavier, and Wei Zhongliang said: "A woman from southern Xinjiang? But are there any other clues? ”

The man shook his head, obviously not so neatly in the original words, he said: "Our master only found out about these, but said that the mongrel met a woman in southern Xinjiang. ”

Wei Zhongliang suddenly thought of something and said: "A woman from southern Xinjiang, I know that there is a person from southern Xinjiang. ”

The man sighed and said, "In this case, please also ask Duke Wei to inform me that if it is done, our master will be grateful." ”

At the same time as Tuoba Yue returned to southern Xinjiang, Xiao Nai got Xiao Tian's secret letter, she opened it to see, her face instantly turned pale, she pinched the letterhead in her hand, and said word by word: "Sure enough, He Xi is a slut!" ”

She burned the letterhead on the candle flame before she said hatefully, "Go, call the counsellor—"

The maid didn't dare to ask more, so she answered, and ran out, and brought in a person after a while, Xiao Nai commanded in a deep voice, although the person was afraid of Xiao Tian and Xiao Nai's identity, but after all, Tuoba Yue was not in the capital now, Xiao Nai was so decisive, so he said cautiously: "Miss, does this matter need a prophet to meet the prince?" ”

Xiao Nai looked at him coldly and said, "You also said to take precautions, why do you retreat now that I have a suitable candidate?" ”
