Chapter 203: Heartache

Zhuang Chenchen couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, but he was careful not to wake up the people around him.

In fact, Cen Muning didn't sleep, just lay quietly beside him, this feeling made her feel calm in her heart. Like a long night, warm like a delicate flower in spring, growing little by little.

He still couldn't sleep, and Cen Mu Ning simply slipped into his arms when he turned around.

"Woke you up?" Zhuang Chenchen hugged her and said a little apologetically: "Why don't I go to sleep in the side hall." ”

"Nope." Cen Muning shook her head lightly: "The concubine didn't sleep, she stayed awake all the time." I just want to sleep quietly with the emperor like this. But the emperor seems to have an unresolved knot in his heart, and he is always restless. Your Majesty, what is on your mind, are you willing to talk to your concubines? ”

Zhuang Chenchen wrinkled his brows, and rubbed Cen Muning into his arms: "Once upon a time, I ...... I'm sorry, she's back, I thought I could make it up to her, but in fact, I ......"

Cen Muning knew that what bothered him must be related to pity.

In military affairs, Zhuang Chenchen has always been decisive in killing, how can he lose sleep because of this.

Thinking of this, she leaned into his arms: "Your Majesty, the concubine can understand your feelings, and I also know that over the years, the concubine must have had a very hard time outside the palace." But these are not the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing is that no matter what situation she is in, she will never let go of her concern for you. This kind of pain that she can't get is afraid that it is the most cruel torment for her. So, she's back to you now safe and sound......"

"Not only do you understand me, but you also understand her." Zhuang Chenchen squeezed her hand and said warmly: "I used to think you were smart, but now I think you are more and more understanding. I would like to ask you, if it were you, how would you calm the turmoil in front of you? ”

"What does the emperor mean that the courtiers are all talking about the matter of slandering the concubine?" Cen Muning turned her face to look at his eyes: "Hasn't this matter been settled?" With the birth of the emperor's eldest son, the courtiers didn't talk about it very much, right? Even the minions in the harem are talking about the emperor's eldest son after tea and dinner, so it should be no big deal. ”

"In terms of the consequences, it is indeed a turning page. But you don't know how annoying those old ministers of the previous dynasty were. Zhuang Chenchen remembered the appearance of Cang Lian waiting for him in the wind today, and his heart became more and more suffocated. If I get closer to the concubine, they will definitely bring up the old things again. ”

Of course, Cen Muning knew that the emperor's concerns were right. But he didn't rush to make a sound, just quietly accompanied him.

For a long time, she lowered her eyebrows and said, "It's not that there is no way to change this status quo." ”

"Oh?" Zhuang Chenchen couldn't help but be interested: "Do you have a way?" ”

The concubine just thought about it a little, but she didn't know if she could succeed. But if the emperor is willing, it doesn't hurt to give it a try. Cen Mooning approached Zhuang Chen's ear and whispered, "If you ...... If the eldest son of the emperor who was born can be handed over to the concubine to raise, and the concubine is gentle and demure, and the prince can raise him for nothing, naturally those bad rumors will be self-defeating. The concubine was just worried that the concubine had never raised a baby, and the prince was born prematurely and was weaker, so if there was anything wrong with this, wouldn't it be ......"

In fact, Cen Muning was really unhappy to send that child to the concubine. Not to mention that Concubine Pian must also want to use this child to be favored, just say that such a young child will become a pawn in the harem to compete for favor, which is really unfair to him.

But the situation forced that if the child was sent to her, whether it was a pity concubine or a concubine, she would be used as a target. The sinister in the harem is already unguardable, and when she concentrates on raising her children, it is even more difficult to deal with those open guns and hidden arrows.

"That's an idea, and your worries are not unfounded." Zhuang Chenchen was also a little hesitant.

"It's better to do this, the emperor arranged a place to live near Weiyang Palace, so that Concubine Ying could move to the palace. You can also go to the concubine to help take care of the children during the day. With Concubine Ying, the child will inevitably be taken care of very well. Cen Mooning thought about Zhuang Chen, so she said gently: "It's just that the two younger sisters don't have to live in the same palace, and it is more convenient for the emperor to visit the concubine every day." ”

"It's still the emperor's thoughtfulness." Zhuang Chenchen was finally not so troubled. "It's not too early, go to bed early."

He was able to fall asleep, but Cen Muning was uneasy. Is it right or wrong to hand over such a young child to the poor concubine to raise?

The man next to him gradually breathed evenly and fell asleep.

But she kept her eyes open until dawn.

When the concubines came to greet her, she didn't mention it. Thinking that if Zhuang Chenchen was willing, it would be better to tell Cang Lian in person.

But when Helian came to ask for peace, he could see at a glance that her face was not good.

"The queen's liver is stagnant, and she didn't sleep last night, right?" Helian asked for a pulse, frowned, and said, "It is said that you are proud of the spring breeze now, shouldn't you sleep peacefully?" Why is it that you are full of thoughts? Sorrow can hurt the body, and the mother must understand this truth. ”

"The little prince who was just born...... Have you read the pulse case? Cen Mooning frowned and asked.

"I've seen it." Helian said truthfully: "The prince is not full-term, and compassion is expected. And after Concubine Ying is pregnant...... No less toss. I'm afraid that if you don't take care of it well, it's really not a good thing. ”

Cen Mooning nodded slightly: "If it's you, are you sure to take care of the prince's body?" ”

"Nope." Helian said without hesitation: "Wechen is not good at babies and daughters. ”

"Then do you think that among the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital, which imperial doctor has such ability?" Cen Muning asked worriedly.

"This ......" Helian thought slightly: "Of course it is the judge of the court." ”

"The court sentenced ......" Cen Muning thought for a while, then shook his head: "If people are not right, how can they talk about medical skills." ”

"That's right." Helian sighed slightly: "Then Weichen has no suitable candidate." Unless the emperor invites a more suitable one from outside the palace. ”

"Someone, please?" Cen Muning felt even more unreliable: "Not everyone has such a great ability to sentence you by the vice court." If you don't know the roots, please come into the palace, if you take good care of the prince, if there is anything wrong, you will sit with the palace. I am afraid that such a risk is not something that everyone is willing to take. ”

Helian thought for a moment: "Yes." In this case, the queen mother doesn't worry about it. There are so many concubines in the harem, there will always be another imperial heir, and the emperor may not really care about this first one! ”

"Presumptuous." Cen Mu Ning's face turned cold: "If it weren't for the palace's insistence, he would have to take revenge, so naturally he didn't have to use a child who was born not long ago in exchange for the palace's own peace." But if only by sacrificing this child can you take revenge, then this palace would rather not take revenge. Just guard against the persecution of the enemy. If this palace can spare this child, what is the difference between it and those people? Becoming as indifferent and ruthless as they are, this palace might as well leave this demon cave as soon as possible. ”

She was angry.

Helian stared at her frowning brow, and for some reason, he suddenly reached over.

Cen Muning was taken aback by him and slapped his hand away. "My lord, you weren't the one who slept well last night, right? This is what hysteria is in front of the main palace. ”

"Since the queen mother said so, Weichen will try her best to keep the prince safe." Helian saluted a little embarrassedly: "Weichen retired first." ”

Sending him out, Bingling closed the door, and then lowered his voice and said, "Niangniang, every time the slave maid sees the deputy court judge, she is deeply disturbed. Last time, the concubine was suspicious of you...... But he didn't tell the emperor, for fear that he was accumulating evidence. If something goes wrong again, you can't tell it even with a long mouth. It's better not to let him serve by your side in the future. ”

Cen Mu nodded his head: "There is something wrong with him." That's it, you go to the hospital later and say that this palace has been in good health recently, so you don't need to ask for peace every day. If he really has a heart, he will take advantage of this kung fu to take care of the prince's body. The boy was also pitiful. ”

"In fact, the slave still thinks that it is best for the prince to be raised by your side." Bingling said seriously: "Niangniang, you ...... You need a child to be secure. ”

"More on that later. With Concubine Ying, she can really be good to this child. also relieved the embarrassment in front of the concubine. Cen Muning took a deep breath: "Next, lead her to do it to the palace again, hold the current, in front of the emperor, what else does she have to say." ”

Bingling listened quietly, but felt that this method was inappropriate.

Although the emperor saw the queen's tolerance and kindness, he may not cherish it. I'm afraid that once the concubine returns to favor, the emperor will forget the queen's grievances. It's better to solve this problem cleanly.

It's just that she has to think about how to leave no traces.

Not for himself, but not for the queen. wants the emperor to know that she did it, how can she believe that it was not the queen's instructions.

"What do you want?" Cen Mu called Bingling twice, but she didn't hear it, so she had to get up and pat the back of her hand.

Bingling smiled a little embarrassedly: "The slave maid thought that Qingli's girl got up early in the morning to serve you to make up, and she disappeared, so there must be something weird." ”

"Isn't it?" Cen Mu smiled faintly: "Yin Li made a mistake after all, the emperor rewarded him with thirty whips, and at this time, after the execution, Qingli must have taken care of him." ”

"The slave still doesn't understand, whether the emperor punished Yin Li, whether it was because he was used by the Queen Mother, or because he helped the concubine hide her ......traces without authorization," Bingling said seriously: "If it is the former, the punishment is too late, and if it is the latter, the punishment is too light." ”

"Whatever, it's okay." Cen Muning didn't dwell on this: "It's these thirty whips that can make Qingli change his mind and return to Yin Li's side, which is excellent." This will, Yin Li may not know how to be happy. ”

"That's right." Bingling nodded again and again: "What a thing to be able to meet a person who feels sorry for yourself and feels sorry for yourself." ”

"What about you?" Cen Mu Ning hooked her lips slightly: "Do you have a favorite person?" ”

"Don't make fun of the slave maid, the queen mother." Bingling cleaned up the joy on her face and became serious: "In the past, the slave maid swore to serve the lady well, but now that the lady is gone, the slave and maid will serve the lady like the lady, and serve you well." Unless you don't want a slave, a slave will never leave you. ”

"What a silly girl." Cen Muning said with some distress: "Rather than living a frightened life with me, I hope you can live a simple and peaceful life." Find a good home, husband and children, and try for me that I have never tried. But don't worry, when things in the palace are almost over, I will definitely find a good family for you. ”

"I'm not married." Bingling quickly turned around and ran out: "There is still soup boiling on the stove, slave maid go and take a look, don't burn it dry." ”

Cen Mu looked at her back reluctantly and smiled lightly.
