Chapter 141: Preventing Thieves

After Cen Mufeng left, Cen Muning seemed to see a glimmer of light.

Is he so nervous about bribing Helian just to come to her palace to stage a drama of filial piety? Definitely not. In other words, he must pass the news to the Prime Minister through himself, and with this news, it can be convenient for his father to act or stop in time. But what is it that matters so much?

"Ice Cream." Cen Muning motioned for her to come close and speak: "In a few days, it will be my mother's life sacrifice." Tomorrow I want you to leave the palace for me and light a prayer lamp for her in the nunnery where she lived before her death. ”

"Yes." Bingling lowered her voice and asked, "Is there something that Miss tells the slave to do?" ”

"Mother used to be the Feng Wei of the first emperor, apart from you, is there anyone else who can use it?"

Bingling nodded: "In addition to cultivating slaves and maids, Mrs. also had other henchmen. The slave maid kept in touch with them before entering the Ruiming Palace. It was only because the situation in the palace was unclear and the emperor was an extremely sensitive person that contact was temporarily cut off. Why did the young lady suddenly ask that? ”

"Send someone to monitor the Cen Mansion, especially to keep an eye on my father's actions. Tomorrow when my father enters the court, I will try to meet him, and you must notify people outside the palace to accompany you to watch, and be sure to find out what your father is doing. Our fate may be at stake. ”

"Yes." Bingling nodded: "Miss don't worry, the slave knows what to do." ”

"With you, I'm naturally relieved." Cen Muning smiled slightly: "By the way, why haven't I heard any news about my cousin and the eldest princess of Ziyang recently?" Didn't they enter the palace all this time? ”

"Two days ago, the slave maid was ordered to deliver pastries to the emperor, and I saw the young master from a distance. It's just that there were a lot of people at that time, so I didn't care about coming forward to say goodbye. Bingling said with some concern: "I don't know if it's because the slave is too careful." I always feel that the young master has lost a lot of weight, and he doesn't look as energetic as before. Maybe the days after marrying the eldest princess are not as comfortable as imagined. ”

"He has a heart, so he naturally has no heart for the eldest princess." Cen Mooning sighed: "It's just that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes." By the way, Jin Qiu is very attacking a lot of fragrant pears, sweet and delicious, you choose some good ones, and let people send them to try them. ”

"Yes." Bingling smiled and said, "Miss and Young Master are more like brothers and sisters." But the eldest young master treats you with a lot of resentment. ”

"Sometimes being able to become a brother and sister has exhausted fate. Before me, he was only a layer of blood, and there was no affection. Cen Muning didn't want to think about these things anymore: "You go and arrange it." I'm alone. ”

"The slave and maid are gone." Bingling retreated lightly, and before he had gone far, he saw Liang Bao come in with a happy face.

"Yo, isn't this Liang Bao's father-in-law? Which gust of wind is blowing you? Bingling greeted him with a smile: "But the emperor is worried about Niangniang, so he specially taught you to come over?" ”

"What the girl said is good." Liang Bao was overjoyed: "There are tributes sent to the palace, I heard that they are all rare things, and they are not even common in the palace." The emperor asked Niangniang to go over at this time to take a fresh look. ”

"I'm going to spread the word." Bingling's face was happy, and he always felt that the emperor was quite sincere in treating Miss. But it is because of this hard-won sincerity that she is often panicked. I always feel that once the emperor perceives the sincerity of the young lady, it will bring a catastrophe.

"Miss, Liang Bao is here, saying that there is a rare thing that has just entered the palace, and the emperor invites you to go over and take a look." Bingling's mixed expression, Cen Muning understood it at a glance.

"Okay, this palace will pass." She got up with Bingling's hand: "I'm going over myself, you go to work first, and then go to Qingxuan Hall to accompany me later." ”

"Yes." When Bingling helped her out of the wing, she saw the joy on Liang Bao's face, so she had to hide the worries in her heart.

As soon as Cen Muning arrived at Qingxuan Palace, he saw Zhuang Xianchen walking out briskly with Yin Li. It's as if something bad is happening. Yu Guang glanced at the surprise on Liang Bao's face, and she guessed that it should have happened.

"Your Majesty." She saluted lightly and frowned, "Is something wrong?" ”

"Something happened to Piaoyingyuan, I'll go over and take a look." Zhuang Chenchen walked over and shook her hand, with a slight force: "The tributes are all in my imperial study, and the queen will go and take a look first." ”

"Your Majesty, something happened to Piaoyingyuan, and the concubines are difficult to feel at ease, can you go with the emperor?" Cen Muning couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that the Queen Mother has made a lot of calculations, but she has not been able to cage Ruan Er's heart. Otherwise, she just went to Piaoying Garden, and Ruan Er wouldn't have been in the past few days, and she hadn't eased up.

Zhuang Chenchen nodded, his eyes were a little cold. "It's fine."

The chariot is comfortable, spacious, and stable.

From the emperor's Qingxuan Hall to the soft Er's Piaoying Garden, it is only half a cup of tea. In fact, if the emperor likes it, he can move her closer. There are still several palaces near the Qingxuan Hall that have been cleaned up, but no one lives in them. I happened to hear Liang Bao say a few words, the emperor doesn't like to get too close to the concubines, Cen Muning thought to himself, he may not have accepted the existence of these women from his heart. And really treat them as decorations in his harem.

If you can use it, you can use it, and if you can't use it, put it aside. It doesn't hurt to fall into the dust.

"Say hello to the emperor." Huan Pei came over with red eyes, and was slightly surprised when he saw Cen Muning coming in from behind the emperor. But soon, the surprise turned into a grievance: "Say hello to the queen." ”

"How's the concubine?" Cen Muning showed a little concern.

"Please move the emperor and queen to the inner room to take a look at our mother." Huan Pei didn't say it directly, but that worry, anyone who saw it would feel distressed.

Zhuang Chenchen walked in front, and Cen Muning followed behind him. I have to say that he walked calmly, acted as usual, and did not show extra concern. However, when he saw it in front of the Qingxuan Palace, he was more calm.

"Ah......h

The moment the door was pushed open, Huan Pei exclaimed.

So much so that before Cen Muning could see clearly what was going on inside, Yin Li had already been instructed by Zhuang Chenchen to rush in and hug the concubine hanging on the colorful silk.

Cen Muning looked at Concubine Ying, who had passed out, in surprise, and couldn't help frowning. "What the hell is going on?"

"Niangniang, why are you so confused......" Huan Pei choked and pounced. The slave has only been away for a moment, why can't you think about it? The emperor will definitely come back to see you, even if you don't care about yourself, you have to take care of the dragonborn in your belly. This deep palace is not as good as in the palace before, if you have any grievances, why don't you show the emperor, why can't you think about it like this? ”

Huan Pei's words completely explained the recent situation of Concubine Ying.

Cen Muning understood it, but she didn't know if Zhuang Chenchen understood.

She frowned and took a step forward, looking at Ruan Er, who was helped to the bed, with tears on her face, and couldn't help but sigh. "What the hell is going on? Huanpei, as a slave serving Concubine Ying, you didn't even give a clear word to the emperor, so you cried so patheticly, in the final analysis, it was also your dereliction of duty, you didn't serve Concubine Ying wholeheartedly, can you be guilty? ”

If it's just the emperor coming forward, Huanpei cried, and when Concubine Ying woke up, she would appeal to the emperor and complain, and things would be easier to handle in the future. But she didn't expect the queen to come too, and she was so tense to punish the crime, she endured her anger and knelt down towards the queen.

"It's all the slave's fault, and the slave is willing to be blamed. But begging the emperor and queen to be gracious, allow the slaves and maids to serve until the mother gives birth to the dragon son safely, and then punish, Huanpei will be willing to accept it. ”

Speaking of this, she choked up, and a whining sound came out of her throat again: "The slave doesn't dare to hide it, the imperial doctor has come before, saying that the mother's fetal gas is vibrating, and there is a danger of slipping the tire." Niangniang is already four months pregnant at this time, if the fetal gas does not recover, not only can not save the dragon, but even the mother will be damaged. So the advice of the imperial doctor is...... If it still doesn't get good in these two days, you have to remove the afterbirth for your mother. The slave and maid's persuasion was ineffective, but the mother did not allow the slave and maid to tell the emperor, saying that she was afraid that the emperor would worry. Until this morning, Niangniang saw Qinghong again, maybe she couldn't stand such a blow, so she would ......"

Zhuang Chenchen's face was as cold as frost, and he said unhappily: "Hasn't Concubine Ying's fetus always been stable?" Why does the tire gas suddenly vibrate? ”

"yes. Concubine Ying's body is strong, and the dragon fetus has always been stable, how can this be? Cen Muning naturally echoed the voice, but in fact, she was like a mirror in her heart.

Biting his lip, Huan Pei shook his head slightly: "The slave really doesn't know." It's just that in the past few days, the mother has been depressed. I can't eat, I can't sleep at night, and I always look like I'm full of thoughts. Whenever the slave and maid asked, the mother only said that she was lazy during pregnancy and didn't like to move. said that he wanted to ask the imperial doctor for her, but the imperial doctor came just to prescribe some ordinary prescriptions, and did not say why. The slave didn't know that things could be so serious......"

There are some things that you can't say as a slave. Once he said it, he became a blatant enemy of the Queen Mother.

Concubine Ying is not stupid, she knows best how to arouse the emperor's pity, and she will not offend the queen mother so obviously.

Cen Muning just took pity on her child, was this child really uncomfortable, or was his mother already using him to plan and deploy when he was only four months in his womb......

"Your Majesty, Huanpei is a slave of the concubine's family. If you want to come and serve Concubine Ying, you will do your best. The concubine thought that it was better to leave her in Piaoyingyuan and continue to serve. When Concubine Ying is better, it's not too late to be held accountable. ”

"As the queen said." Zhuang Chenchen walked to the side of the bed, looked at the unconscious Ruan Er, and reached out to support her chin.

I have to say that the traces of being strangled by that ayako are still obvious.

"My child...... My baby...... The child ......" Soft Er suddenly grabbed in panic and slapped the back of Zhuang Chen's hand.

Zhuang Chenchen was shocked by her move, and suddenly let go of his hand.

"Don't take my baby." Soft sat up and looked at the person in front of him in fear. She expected the emperor to return, but she didn't expect the queen to be there. But no matter what, since this scene has begun, it has to be done well.

"The Emperor...... Your Majesty, you're finally here......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, tears welled up in his eyes. "The child of the concubine...... Is there no child left of the concubine......

"No, mother, the child is in your belly." As soon as Huanpei opened his mouth, tears fell. "Don't worry, Ryuko will be fine."

"Since Concubine Ying has woken up, the emperor will accompany her to have a good talk." How could Cen Muning not know Ruan Er's thoughts. "The concubine went to tell the Tai Hospital to use the best medicine to give Concubine Ying a baby. In addition, there are slightly fewer people serving in Piaoyingyuan, and the concubines will arrange it carefully. Ring Wear. ”

The previous words are that the queen is in order to appear virtuous, and it is understandable that Huanpei is admirable. But what was the intention of the queen to call her name?

"The slave is here." Huan Pei felt slightly uneasy in his heart and saluted the queen.

"This palace still has some concerns, and I want to tell you. You will go to the Tai Hospital with this palace, and just come back with some medicinal materials that can nourish Concubine Ying during pregnancy. Cen Mu Ning looked at her calmly.

I don't know why, when such words for the sake of Concubine Ying came out of the queen's mouth, Huan Pei only felt that there was an irresistible majesty. "The slave obeys."

"Then the concubine will retire first." Cen Mooning saluted solemnly towards Zhuang Chen.

"Hmm." Zhuang Zhenchen bowed slightly, and sat down directly on the edge of the bed.

Before Cen Muning could withdraw, he saw Ruan Er, like a cat, soft and boneless into his arms. Although she was so sad and weak, the room was still full of spring at such a time. Charming.

It's nice to be a woman.

Cen Muning couldn't help but think secretly. It is said that only when a man gets the world can he get the woman he loves.

But as long as a woman can hold a man's heart, she can get the world she wants.

After adjusting her thoughts, Cen Mu Ning glanced sideways at Huan Pei who was following behind her, and frowned: "Actually, the name Huan Pei sounds like the name of everyone's girlfriends. Instead, she is more like the name of a slave who serves Miss Qianjin. ”

"Queen Mother, you have tormented the slave." Huan Pei seemed to have been poked in the sore spot, and his face was red and white alternately.

"Before you entered the palace, this palace also sent someone to investigate. Ruan's parents were just silk dealers in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and they couldn't even afford a decent silk shop. made a windfall and became a well-known figure in the city. As for you, you were originally a scholarly family, but unfortunately your father suddenly suffered a catastrophe, and the family was in the middle of the road, so he had to be sold to her family as a maid, at that time, you should be less than ten years old, right? ”

"Queen Mother, what are you talking to the slave maid about?" Huan Pei is calm and unwilling to be exposed to such scars. "The slave maid only knows now that the concubine is unstable, and she is still waiting for the slave and maid to go back to serve."

"Naturally, it doesn't have to." Cen Mu smiled faintly: "Concubine Ying has the emperor's favor, where can I still use you." And, look at yourself, even though you are wearing the most ordinary clothes, you can't hide your appearance. If you dress up well, you will never be inferior to any of the concubines in this palace. How could she not guard against you. I think every time she gets close to the emperor, she has to try to break you away. If she doesn't let you stay by the emperor's side longer, she won't let you stay, like a thief, this is her sincerity. ”

Catching up with Cen Muning's gaze, Huan Pei couldn't help but smile: "The queen must have sent a lot of people to keep an eye on Concubine Ying, right?" Why don't you guard against the concubine like a thief? ”
