The autumn wind receded, and the Forbidden City was dressed in silver.

Orange Creek and Concubine Yu are both rejoicing that life is going so smoothly, and Concubine Yu's belly is starting to grow bigger.

But everything was calm before the storm.

"Ah......hh It hurts...... It hurts. In the middle of the night, Yu Lan's stomach suddenly hurt badly, and she covered her stomach and rolled on the ground from the bed.

Since Yu Lan returned to the palace from the palace, Orange Creek deliberately let her move to the West Side Hall alone, and in the middle of the night, plus it was winter, the people in Kunning Palace fell asleep.

The cold wind was howling outside, but she was sweating profusely in pain, and she didn't even have the strength to crawl out of the door to call someone.

The pain made her whole body tremble, and she lay on the cold ground, rolling for hours.

When the rooster crowed at dawn, it suddenly stopped working, she got up from the ground, wiped off the beads of sweat on her head, and went back to bed to rest. I thought to myself, I must have eaten something that I shouldn't have eaten during the day, and I had eaten my stomach.

When it was dawn, she got up as usual to freshen up, put on hot water and wait for Orange Creek to get up. Forget all about last night.

"Eniang, get up, the emperor sent someone to pass the word, asking you to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall for breakfast." Yu Lan twisted the towel in her hand and said to Orange Creek, who was still sleepy-eyed.

"Really, it's still snowing outside, it's really haunting, what kind of breakfast! I'd like to sleep a little longer. Orange Creek looked out the window, at the fluttering snowflakes, and complained in her mouth.

"Eniang, if there is nothing important, how can the emperor bear to let you brave the wind and snow to see him, it must be a good thing, you are ready to harvest surprises!" Yu Lan handed the steaming towel to Orange Creek.

When she returned to the palace a few days ago, Yu Lan specially told Hongli that Orange Creek wanted to see Hongli. Yesterday, I met Gonggong Chen going out of the palace to do things for the emperor, Yu Lan asked a few more questions by the way, and Gonggong Chen told her that the emperor sent him to Prince Guo's mansion to pass on the message.

Yu Lan guessed at once that Hongli must have begged the emperor for a decree, and the emperor must have taken Hongli into the palace to get together with Orange Creek.

Since the emperor didn't tell Orange Creek in advance, Yu Lan had to pretend to be stupid and didn't know, it must be that the emperor wanted to surprise Orange Creek.

"Yu Lan! How did Bengong find out, you are weird today, and you are more meticulous than usual in dressing up in Bengong, and you are smirking vigorously. Orange Creek looked at Yu Lan with a curious expression.

"Is there one? Nope! It's still the same as always! Okay, Eniang, don't move around, let the emperor wait for a while. Yu Lan gently turned Orange Creek back to look at her face and continued to groom Orange Creek.

Everything was ready, Yu Lan helped Orange Creek out of the house, Orange Creek had just sat on the couch, Yu Lan turned back into the house, took a cloak and ran out, "Come on, Eniang, put it on, it's cold, be careful of freezing." ”

A group of them braved the wind and snow to rush to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"The concubine greets the emperor!"

"Concubine Xi! You're finally here, and the food at the table is getting cold, so come and sit down. The emperor seemed to have waited for a long time, and asked Orange Creek to take a seat quickly.

Orange Creek took off her cloak, handed it to Yu Lan, and sat on the stool next to the emperor.

"Why is the emperor so interested today? You want your concubine to come over and dine with you early in the morning? ”

"You'll find out later, I'm going to surprise you later. Let's eat! If you don't eat it, you'll be in the mood to eat it later. The emperor picked up the imperial chopsticks and asked Orange Creek to eat with him.

Orange Creek picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables, while nagging in her mouth, "What's wrong today?" How everyone is weird. ”

The two chatted and ate at the same time.

After breakfast, the two went back to the house to rest together.

At this time, Gonggong Chen came in to report and said that Prince Guo asked to see him. The emperor excitedly agreed.

"Brother to the emperor to say goodbye!"

Orange Creek was not surprised by the arrival of Prince Weiguo, holding the tea on the table, and continued to drink it with her head down, the cold wind outside, although the charcoal stove was lit in the house, it was still a little chilly, she wanted to drink some hot tea to warm her body.

"Hongday, please give the emperor a greeting!" Hongday used his childish voice to follow Prince Guo to greet the emperor.

Hearing Hongday's voice, Orange Creek was stunned, and the hand holding the teacup trembled, she slowly raised her head, "Hongday, child, my child ......"

With tears of excitement in her eyes, she put the cup on the table, stumbled to Hongyang, helped Hongtian who was kneeling, hugged him into her arms, hugged Hongyang tightly, and cried so much that she couldn't cry.

Although Prince Guo repeatedly told Hongtian at home, when he saw the emperor, he should call the emperor, and when he saw Orange Creek, he would call him Xi Niangniang. But Hongtian was almost five years old when he was sent away, and he clearly remembered that Orange Creek was his mother.

He put his little hand around Orange Creek and cast a puzzled look at Prince Guo, who looked embarrassed and whispered to Hongday, "Hongday, call Xi Niangniang?" ”

Hongyang turned his face away and whispered, "Eniang! ”

Hearing Hongday's shout, Orange Creek grabbed his shoulders excitedly, "Hongday, do you still remember Eniang, Eniang misses you so much, do you miss Eniang?" ”

"It hurts, Eniang, you're hurting Hongday."

"Oooh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Hongday, E-Niang didn't mean it. Orange Creek quickly let go of the hand that was holding Hongyang.

"Concubine Xi! I heard Hongli say, you miss Hongyang very much, I specially asked Prince Guo to bring Hongyang into the palace to gather for you, are you happy? The emperor said to Orange Creek.

Orange Creek nodded with tears in her eyes, thanking the emperor for her kindness, the snow outside the house was still falling, but Orange Creek didn't feel cold at all at this moment.

Yun Ling was loyal to the former queen, thinking that even if the queen was gone, she would win the crown prince for Hongye, but after all, she was just a slave with a low status, and Hongtian had to have a backer and an upright background.

Yun Ling was grinding ink for Hongye, while thinking, for Hongye, the child in the concubine's belly must not be born safely.

"Little brother, you practice by yourself first, and the slave maid will go to change the bed quilt for the concubine." Yun Ling said to Hongye, who was seriously practicing writing.

Hiroya nodded and continued to write.

Yun Ling returned to her room, glanced sneakily at the left and right, then took out a small bag of things from the closet, put it in her arms, and walked towards the concubine's room.

Concubine Yu happened to go to Kunning Palace to visit the door, she took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the house, secretly hid the small bag of things under the sheets under the pillow, and then put the pillow back in its original place, while no one was passing by, closed the door, and returned to the night room to continue to practice calligraphy with him.

Although she was a little unbearable in her heart, she couldn't take care of it so much for the sake of Hongye. stared at Hongye with a weird smile on his face.

In the evening, the snow stopped, and the cold wind was still blowing, blowing through the crack in the door, whirring like the sound of a ghost crying wolf. Yu Lan, who was lying on the bed and had not yet fallen asleep, was frightened by this panicked voice, and gave goosebumps.

She fell asleep in a daze, rolling on the bed, always sleeping, always feeling like something was going to happen.

Sometimes a woman's premonition is really good, and in the middle of the night, her stomach begins to ache again, like thousands of ants biting in her stomach. She grabbed the flesh from her stomach and rolled to the ground in pain.

It's a familiar feeling, exactly the same as last night, Yu Lan climbed from the ground to the bed with difficulty, "What's wrong with me, why do I have a stomachache every night, and I shouldn't eat bad stomach every day, right?" ”

She pulled down the quilt on the bed and covered her body, the pain had made her unable to climb back into the bed, just gritted her teeth and endured, it was really magical, waiting for the rooster to crow outside the house, and the pain was really slowly relieved.

She sighed vigorously, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and slowly climbed onto the bed.

For many days after that, night after night. Not only did he have a stomachache late at night, but he was always dizzy when he walked recently, and his face was much worse than before.

"Yu Lan, let's go! Come with me to Jingyang Palace and sit down! Orange Creek finished breakfast and said to Yu Lan, who was waiting beside her.

Yu Lan picked up Orange Creek and walked out of the room, "Someone! Prepare a couch. ”

In Jingyang Palace, Yixiu was asking for a pulse for Concubine Yu, and Yun Ling stood by sneakily, with a worried face, presumably afraid that Yixiu would see the clues!

"The doctor is recuperating, the child in the belly of this palace is good." While eating the sour apricots on the table, Concubine Yu asked the doctor who was taking her pulse into her mind.

"Back to Niangniang, everything is fine with the dragon fetus, but Niangniang has some anemia, the mother uses sperm and blood for fetal development, and anemia is also a common symptom of happy people. Yixiu took off the square scarf covering her wrist and said to her concubine.

At this time, the two masters and servants of Orange Creek also happened to be outside the house, and when they heard the words of the doctor, Orange Creek began to nag as soon as they entered the door, "Sister! You have to listen to the doctor, but don't treat the baby in your belly badly. ”

"My sister is here! Sit down. When the concubine saw Orange Creek coming, she greeted her with a smile.

Looking at the sneaky Yun Ling, Orange Creek couldn't help but stare at her a few more times, and she lowered her head with a weak heart, not daring to look directly into Orange Creek's eyes. Orange Creek didn't really suspect her of anything, she just wanted to give her some warnings at any time, so that she could be a good person and not have bad intentions.

The doctor bowed to Orange Creek, looking at Yu Lan with a pale face, he was a little worried, Yu Lan was so haggard, she must be sick. "Fujin, what's wrong with you? Such an ugly face? "The doctor can't care about any rules, and asks Yu Lan with concern.

After listening to the doctor's words, Orange Creek looked at Yu Lan, "Yes! Bengong also feels that recently, Yu Lan's face is a little pale, and she is always absent-minded in doing things, otherwise, you will take Yu Lan's pulse to see if she is sick. ”

Yu Lan didn't want them to worry, so she repeatedly excused herself.

"Doctor, don't listen to her, come and check her pulse." Orange Creek cares so much about Yu Lan, how could she give up because of her words.

"Eniang, I really don't need to ......"

"What? Don't even listen to me? ”

Yu Lan was no longer silent, the doctor was able to take her pulse for her, and if she didn't know, she was startled. "Why are you so anemic? Have you been feeling any lately? ”

"Every night, my stomach always hurts like something is biting, and it doesn't hurt during the day, and I always feel dizzy and tinnitus lately, and I can't do things."
