The lotus leaf was quick with his hands and feet, and after a while, he brought in all the dishes and put them on the dilapidated carved table in the dormitory.

Lingxi's face was still pale, she held the hand of the lotus leaf, staggered to the table, and sat on the round table.

On the wooden table, in addition to the cup of hot chicken soup and half of the roast duck with two thighs torn off, there was also a side dish of meat, one vegetable and two butterflies, which were a plate of fried pork liver and a plate of vinegared tofu. The color match is appropriate, and it looks delicious.

Lingxi glanced at the dish of vinegared tofu, his mouth was filled with sour water, and his stomach was even hungrier.

Lotus Ye handed a washed plain silver hairpin to Lingxi and said, "Niangniang, give." ”

Lingxi took the hairpin and stretched it out into the dish of vinegared tofu first. Holding back the ** she wanted to eat, she looked through it carefully. In addition to the white and tender tofu and green onions, there is also a red filamentous object in the vinegared tofu, and the color matching is extremely beautiful.

The hairpin did not turn black, indicating that there was no poison in it. Lingxi vaguely smelled a bitter smell of Chinese medicine, but he couldn't be sure whether the smell of medicine was in the butterfly vegetable in front of him or whether it was originally on his body.

After pushing the dish of vinegared tofu aside, Lingxi began to examine the chicken soup again. As soon as Lingxi put the silver-white hairpin into the chicken soup, he saw that the hairpin immediately turned black when it touched the soup.

Lotus Ye has been standing beside Lingxi to take a closer look, and when she saw this, she was so frightened that she almost overturned the chicken soup.

Lotus Ye covered her chest and said to Lingxi with a frightened face, "Niangniang, why are they so vicious?!" It's good that you didn't drink it, otherwise I'm afraid that Da Luo Immortal wouldn't be able to save it. Saying that, the lotus leaf tears fell again, and he blamed himself, "It's all because the slave and maid are mindless, and the slave and maid sent by Ruiyun will take it, if you don't find out yourself, it will have caused a big disaster now......"

Lingxi was calmer than the lotus leaf, and after pushing the cup of chicken soup aside, it was no longer tested. raised his hand to wipe the tears on Lotus Ye's face, and comforted, "Don't blame yourself too much, just be more careful in the future." We are in danger, and we can only protect ourselves by being careful everywhere. ”

After the lotus leaves stopped crying, Lingxi lost the interest in testing those dishes again. It is poisonous on both sides and sides, and it is impossible to eat it.

Holding the lotus leaf's hand and lying down on the bed again, Lingxi began to ponder why Empress Zhu chased and beat her so fiercely.

She is now trapped in a cold palace, there is no favor of Emperor Yong'an in the harem, and there is no prominent family background in the court, so it can basically be concluded that she will die of old age here. Although there is a fifth prince under her knees, the fifth prince is still young, and with Empress Zhu's drastic methods, it is impossible for her to be afraid of a child who is still in swaddling clothes.

But why did Queen Zhu so eager to get rid of her? Could it be that Empress Zhu really hated her to the point of not getting rid of unhappiness?

Suddenly, Lingxi turned over and sat up, and said to Lotus Ye, "Lotus Leaf, you bring that herb to me again." ”

Lotus Ye hurriedly took the herb again, opened it and put it in front of Lingxi.

Lingxi plucked a short hairpin from his head to hold his hair in a bun, inserted it into the herb and looked through it carefully.

Because she didn't understand Chinese medicine, Lingxi couldn't see why, but she found a lot of that kind of red silk herb in the herbs.

Lingxi picked up some with a hairpin and put it in front of his nose to smell it, and his heart was suddenly stunned. After a while, she looked up at the lotus leaf and said, "This is a red flower." ”

Lotus Ye was stunned, "Red flower? Safflower of slippery tires? ”

Lingxi covered his lower abdomen with his right hand, and suddenly he figured it out.

She grabbed Lotus Ye's hand suddenly, and said excitedly, "Lotus Ye, I have a child in my belly, I have a child in my belly, I am really pregnant." It is precisely because I have children that the queen bothered to get rid of me. Because as long as I give birth to the child, what Imperial Physician Zhang and Imperial Physician Qi said in the Hall of Mercy will be self-defeating. Imperial Physician Zhang and Imperial Physician Qi were invited by Ziwan beside the queen, and the queen will definitely be inseparable at that time...... Not only that, Wan Concubine's fetus has always been taken care of by Imperial Doctor Zhang, so if you look down the vine, you will definitely be able to find out that the dragon heir in Wan Concubine's womb is the poison of cinnabar instead of musk......"

Lingxi slowly calmed down from the initial excitement, and when he said the end, his face became whiter than paper.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Lotus Ye was also excited after listening to Lingxi's words, and saw that Lingxi's face was a little bad, so he asked boldly, "But you have a high fever again?" ”

"Lotus leaves." Lingxi covered his lower abdomen with his right hand, took the slightly cold hand of the lotus leaf from his forehead with his left hand, and asked a little blankly, "If you were the queen mother, would you let such a child exist in the world?" ”

Lotus Ye's face turned white, and the hand holding Lingxi trembled slightly, "Slave won't." ”

Suddenly, there was a hint of resolute light in Lotus Ye's eyes, she took those herbs away from the surroundings of Lingxi, knelt down to Lingxi and said, "Niangniang, the slave and maid are desperate to protect you and the imperial heir in your womb." From today onwards, we will be careful everywhere, soak the grain we bring back for a few more days, wash it several times before eating. Let's cover the well water in the yard to prevent people from poisoning at all times. Let's never touch the things that Mama Liu sent me again, and try not to walk around...... Let's be so careful, you will definitely be able to give birth to the heir in your womb safely. ”

A smile of relief appeared on Lingxi's pale face, and after helping the lotus leaf up, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Be careful everywhere, naturally you haven't disclosed it." However, if I can make the emperor believe that I am pregnant with a dragon heir, we can go out earlier, and we don't have to sit in the cold palace to die. ”

After hearing this, Lotus Ye smiled on her face, and said to Lingxi, "In the end, the slave is stupid, and she only thinks of stupid ideas!" Mother, now that you are carrying your body, you must not be tired anymore. Let the slaves and maids do all the rough work, you can only raise the fetus with peace of mind, and wait for the emperor to take you out of the cold palace after he knows. The slave and maid should go out and catch the birds now, because the birds fly in the sky, so you must not be frightened by them. ”

Lingxi covered his lower abdomen, nodded softly at the lotus leaf and smiled, "Okay, you go, I'll sleep for a while." ”

said that he was sleeping, but Lingxi lay on the bed but couldn't close his eyes back and forth.

Although she said to Lotus Ye that as long as she let the emperor know, the emperor would take her out of the cold palace. But the difficulty in this is how she can let the emperor know that she is pregnant with a dragon heir at this time.

The cold palace is isolated by a high wall into a palace in the harem, and the palace wall that is more than three zhang high is not to mention a weak woman like her and Lotus Ye, even the big inner guards in the palace are afraid that it will be difficult to get out.

And the people who guarded the door, Mama Liu, who didn't have to think about it, knew that it was Queen Zhu's people, and they would only help Queen Zhu to abuse them, and they would not suddenly change their temperament and turn around to help them.

The Biyun who was bribed by the lotus leaf with a jade earring can be used, but I don't know if that Biyun has the courage to speak for her.

Even if Biyun agrees to pass the word for her, how will Biyun get in front of the emperor? Emperor Yong'an has every opportunity, will any little palace maid in the cold palace ask to see him at will?

Since Empress Zhu can do such a ruthless attack on her, she will not easily let her spread the news out of the cold palace. At that time, as long as there is a little difference, the final result will be Biyun's death.

What if you don't want to get the news out of the cold palace? So how can we protect ourselves in this barren cold palace, how can we survive the six months of the waiting period, and how can we give birth to this child safely?

But even if she was born, how could she tell Emperor Yongan the news that she gave birth in the cold palace?

Lingxi lay on the bed, gently holding his belly, which was obviously four months old, but not much bigger, and his heart was in turmoil.

Although this child was her chance to turn over, it brought her a bigger problem.

In the Weiyang Hall of Weiyang Palace, Queen Zhu was lying on a low kang, and her white hands were holding a Buddhist scripture to read. She whispered to Ziwan, who was standing at her feet, "Is there any news from the cold palace?" ”

"With ......" Ziwan's face turned pale, and after glancing at Queen Zhu's face, she knelt down and said, "The palace maid named Ruiyun who was bought by the slave maid is dead......

"Huh?" Empress Zhu took the Buddhist scriptures away from her eyes, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What does it mean to be dead?" ”

Ziwan took a deep breath, lowered her head and said she was tired without closing her eyes, "The slave heard that the Ye family was seriously ill in the cold palace, so she ordered someone to carefully prepare a few good dishes, and asked Imperial Doctor Zhang to prescribe two packets of good medicine to remove the roots and send them in. But who knew that the cheap maid who bought it was a glutton, and had been found poisoned in the grass in the cold palace......"

"Didn't send anything?"

"No, no ......"

"Rubbish!" Empress Zhu sat up, put the Buddhist scripture in her hand on the back of Ziwan's head, and said angrily, "You can't get rid of a Ye clan like this, how stupid can you be?!" ”

"Mother's anger, mother's anger!" Ziwan picked up the Buddhist scriptures and put them aside, and hurriedly kowtowed, "The slave will order someone to do this again, and the fetus in Ye's womb will be killed, so that the mother will not have any worries." ”

"Stupid!" Empress Zhu frowned, and leaned back on the kang pillow, "You are so scared, I am afraid that the Ye clan has already taken precautions, and it will be futile to do it again, and in the end it will only lead people to make people ......suspicious," Empress Zhu pondered for a while, and said, "Let's let it go like this, and talk about it in a few days." Let the people in front of the emperor be smart, and don't let the emperor hear what he shouldn't hear...... "Today's first watch or second watch?" Anyway, when I wake up, there's one more more, hehe
