"Of course he is my child! But I still want you to think about that. ”

"The concubine wants to know who the flowers are scattered from."

"Calamus, I want you to figure out whether to keep this child or not."

"The concubine must keep this child." Calamus has already made a decision, "The concubine must also catch the murderer." ”

Sun Wen understood her character, so he didn't say anything, and asked according to her meaning: "In your opinion, who is the murderer?" ”

"The scent of a hundred flowers spreads from the maid's aunt Gulan."

"So you mean she's the murderer?"

Calamus shook her head, with indescribable pain: "The concubine doesn't know, the concubine's brain is in chaos now, and she doesn't know how to analyze it." "She had made all the preparations to deal with the schemes of others, but she could not avoid such a despicable scattering in any case.

Sun Wen hugged her head with both hands: "You need to calm down for a while now, don't think too much, and leave the rest to me." ”

Tears seeped into his fingers, and Calamus looked at him: "Shouldn't the concubine keep this child?" ”

Sun Wen said: "Leaving this child, if he is different from others, do you know what the consequences will be?" ”

"What?"

"He will never have a chance to be the crown prince, and you will be sent to Yongxiang as an ominous woman until you give birth to a second normal child."

Calamus pursed her lips and was speechless.

"It's a palace rule, you should know." Sun Wen looked at her sincerely, "Yongxiang is not something that ordinary people can treat, and it is unfair to you if the child is not normal, so I hope you will think about it carefully." ”

"Is the emperor ruthless about strangling the children of his concubines?"

"He is not only your child, but also my child, and my heartache and reluctance will not be less than yours. Calamus...... You know I've thought many times about what it would be like to have a child with you and me. But at this moment, I can only be calmer than you and tell you what things are going to be, because I don't want you and your children to enter Yongxiang. ”

Calamus by hand? Go to the tears on her face: "The concubine never wanted the child to participate in the battle for the throne, no matter what he looked like, the concubine wanted him to live." ”

Sun Wen suddenly roared angrily: "Tang Yipu, you keep saying that you want to seek a stable life for yourself, but when have you really thought about yourself?" In the past, for Sun Qi, and now for the sake of children, when can you think about yourself? If you go to Yongxiang, even I won't be able to help you! ”

After saying that, Calamus still looked at him stunned.

Sun Wen couldn't bear her eyes, and brushed his sleeves and left.

Seeing him with a gloomy face, Fu Rongbao walked out and hurriedly greeted him: "Your Majesty, what to do with Gulan?" ”

"Ask her, who instructed her to murder Concubine An!"

"What if...... Can't ask? ”

"Ask her how she wants to die."

Fu Rongbao reminded him: "Your Majesty, Gu Lan is the personal maid of the Empress Dowager Mingchun. ”

Sun Wen said coldly: "Keeping such a person to harm the harem, of course I can't forgive." Presumably, the queen mother's spirit in heaven will understand. ”

The whip whipped on Gulan's body: "Say! Who instructed you to frame Concubine An? ”

Ruorong sat in front of a few cases, gently blowing the tea float in the tea bowl, but the corner of his eyes was scanning Gu Lan, and he snickered in his heart.

Gu Lan knelt on the ground, her entire back was already blurred with flesh and blood, she gritted her teeth and said, "The slave maid never framed Concubine An!" ”

Ruorong put down the tea bowl and reached out to play with the ring on his hand: "Gu Lan, do you know, the imperial doctor has diagnosed Concubine An with a hundred flowers of poison, and the dragon seed in her stomach is equivalent to being wasted." Of course I believe that you wouldn't do such a thing to Concubine An, and I could have said a few words for you, but if something so big happened, the emperor and Concubine An couldn't be more sad. I can't help it. ”

Gu Lan's face was intertwined with tears and sweat, and she raised her head in a panic when she heard this: "She is heavy with the poison of a hundred flowers." ”

Ruorong nodded: "Yes, the imperial doctor persuaded Concubine An to fall into this child, and even the emperor persuaded her several times, but she refused to do anything, saying that she would give birth to the child." ”

Guran felt a buzzing in his brain.

Ruorong was still saying: "Yes, I finally climbed the high branch to become the master, and the emperor loves her so much, doesn't it cost her her life to ask her not to want the dragon seed now?" ”

"Let me see Concubine An!" Gu Lan crawled to Ruorong, "Ruorong, let me see Concubine An!" ”

Ruorong turned a blind eye to her begging: "Do you think you are still the maid aunt of the Inner Servant Bureau?" ”

Gu Lan's hand let go: "What do you mean?" ”

"You used Baihuasan to murder Concubine An and the dragon seed in your belly, the crime is heinous, and the emperor has ordered the removal of your maid's aunt." The corners of Ruorong's mouth were clearly sneering, "In a few days, it will be the selection of the inner attendant, and you are obviously not qualified." ”

"I didn't do anything!"

Ruorong approached her: "It's not a question of whether you do it or not, but all the evidence points to you, and there is no excuse at all." ”

"I won't admit it to death!"

"Then all that awaits you is death." Ruorong took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and threw it on several cases, "Give you two days, if you still refuse to admit it, I, as an aunt and supervisor, will only have to do business." ”

After saying that, she flicked her sleeve and left with a smile.

When she walked out of the Supervision Bureau, the palace maid behind her asked, "Aunt Ruorong, do you want to continue to torture?" ”

Ruorong glanced coldly: "Continue to torture her until her skin is broken." ”

Leaving the Supervision Bureau, Ruorong changed his clothes and went to Renming Palace.

Su Ruyuan had obviously heard the news of calamus poisoning, so when he saw Ruorong, his face smiled a little: "You're here?" ”

Ruorong owes a debt: "The slave and maid are specially here to congratulate the little prince." She blinked, "I heard that the child in the belly of the East Palace is gone." ”

Su Ruyuan looked at her and smiled very gently: "Really?" Isn't she sad? ”

"If you are sad or not, the slave and maid don't know." Ruorong smiled jokingly, "Seriously, Niangniang's trick of scattering flowers is really ruthless." ”

"Is it ruthless?"

Ruorong hurriedly said: "It's smart." ”

Su Ruyuan looked at her white and soft hands, and said slowly: "Hundred flowers will make the child useless, which is more painful than letting her fall." This palace is to see how she, as a mother, treats her children. Whether she was born or fell, she was not at peace. ”

Since the calamus accident, Sun Wen has been accompanying her in the East Palace for two consecutive days, except for the early dynasty.

She was calm and had a good appetite, as if it were just a joke, and after the joke she was still an ordinary pregnant woman.

But often the calmer you are, the more unspeakable pain you have.

Sun Wen said to her more than once: "Calamus, what do you have to say." ”

He habitually called her calamus, with a certain deep thought.

And Calamus always said: "The concubine is fine, let the emperor bother." ”

It made him almost crazy.

Sun Wen always felt that he was confident in everything, only he gave others the end, and others categorically couldn't compare to himself. Now he admits that he is conceited, because he can't even take care of his own children.

"Baihuasan came from Gu Lan, I have already given her a time limit, if she doesn't tell the truth in three days, I will use palace torture to kill her!"

Calamus smiled gently: "Did she recruit it?" ”

"It's been two days, and she still hasn't recruited, and tomorrow is the deadline."

"Who does the emperor think will be the main messenger behind Gu Lan?"

Sun Wen's expression changed slightly: "Do you want to speculate? ”

Calamus said calmly: "Only the emperor knows these women best, doesn't the emperor know which one is right and which is not?" ”

"But I happen to know you the least. What kind of heart you have by my side will not be known to me. ”

"Maybe the emperor doesn't want to guess."

"I know that you are in a complicated mood right now, but you can't speculate on others because of this, once you alarm or misunderstand someone in the harem, it will only be more unfavorable to you."

Calamus joked: "Then the emperor plans to let Gu Lan be a substitute for the dead ghost?" ”

"It's not a substitute for the ghost, but she has a problem with herself."

Calamus looked at him, "Really? ”

Her eyes were full of doubt.

Sun Wen closed his eyes: "If you have evidence, you can tell me, but you can't come nonsense." ”

"If the concubine has evidence, will the emperor dispose of it?" Calamus emphasized, "No matter who that person is? ”

"I ......," he hesitated.

"Because the emperor is afraid that the harem will affect the government?"

"You!"

Knowing the secret that poked at his heart, Calamus smiled instead: "The concubine will not be held accountable." ”

She was framed and hurt the child in her belly, but she couldn't do anything, let alone fight for it. In the harem, she is a powerless and powerless woman, no matter how smart and cautious she is, she can't compare with those women who have strong backers behind her.

Sun Wen gently shook her hand: "I hope that one day you can understand my situation." ”

"What else would you men say besides saying that?"

"Sun Qi also said the same thing to you?"

Calamus obviously avoided the topic, and instead said: "The concubine has something to ask the emperor." ”

"What?"

"The concubine wants to go to the Supervision Bureau to see Gulan."

"No way!"

As if expecting him not to agree, Calamus secretly grabbed his elbow: "Things are already like this, the concubines can't do anything, I just hope the emperor will be more tolerant of the concubines and children." ”

"Calamus ......"

"The concubines won't make a big deal out of it, please ask the emperor to believe in the concubines."

Supervision Bureau, Calamus stood at the door with a cloak, and Ping'er behind her said to the grandmother guarding the door: "Concubine An wants to see Gulan, can't she?" ”

These grandmothers were not afraid: "Aunt Ruorong said that no one is allowed to see Gulan privately. ”

"She's Concubine An!"

The old lady looked at the calamus, her eyes full of provocation: "The slave maid said it, anyone." ”

Ping'er was extremely angry: "You guys! ”

The old lady stepped forward: "What are you?" Do you dare to poke our hands and feet at this? ”

Calamus raised her eyes and glanced at them a few times: "So what are you?" Dare to stand in front of the nose of the main palace and sneer? ”

The grandmothers hurriedly took a few steps back: "The slave didn't offend the mother, she just acted according to the rules." ”

"According to the rules, is it Ruorong Da or Bengong Da?"

"Naturally, Concubine An is the eldest child."

Calamus smiled lightly: "That's fine." With that, she walked inside.

The grandmothers wanted to stop her: "The mother can't go in!" ”

Calamus carried a warning: "Don't forget what you just said, this palace is bigger than Aunt Ruorong." She turned around and instructed Ping'er again, "You are here to watch them, and you can't let them leave half a step or go to ventilate the news." ”

"Mother, you can't do that!"

Calamus said coldly: "Before the next chamberlain is selected, the palace is still a legitimate maid official, and whoever still disagrees will be swept out of the Supervision Bureau and will not be allowed to enter the palace for life!" ”

Hearing this, these senior old ladies really deterred.

Calamus walked in along the dark passageway, the more she walked inside, the more cold she felt, every maid in the palace had to be trained in the supervision bureau for three months after entering the palace, and there were countless scolds and whippings left here, she was too familiar with that feeling.

By the time she saw Gulan, Gulan was unrecognizable and covered in blood. Even if she was mentally prepared, Calamus was still shocked by this scene.

"You, can you get through it?"

Hearing the voice, Gu Lan slowly raised her head from the pool of blood, her vision was already blurred, and she couldn't see the person at all, so she could only identify it from the voice: "You are...... Concubine Ann? ”

Calamus did not speak.

Gu Lan crawled on the ground with his hands and struggled: "Mother! Don't give birth to that child! If you win a hundred flowers, the child is equal to waste! The first queen mother, that is, the emperor's biological mother, the queen mother Mingchun, was also poisoned, and she stayed in Yongxiang for ten years! Ten years! ”

Only at this moment, calamus choked back tears: "Then why do you want to harm this palace?" ”

"How can a slave kill a mother?" Gu Lan cried, "The slave and maid are most afraid and hated than a hundred flowers, because the slave and maid saw with their own eyes how the ten years of the Empress Dowager Mingchun were spent. ”

Calamus turned around and took a deep breath: "Then who do you think it will be?" ”

"The slave maid doesn't know, the slave maid only knows that the virtuous concubine Niangniang used a hundred flowers to frame the Empress Dowager Mingchun, and now that she is dead, the slave and maid don't know who else knows this."

Calamus looked firm: "If I can get you out, can you find out the culprit?" ”

"Niangniang wants to save the slave and maid out?"

Calamus groaned: "If you can find the real culprit, I will save you out." ”

"What if you can't?"

"Skynet is magnificent but not leaky, as long as you go all out, how can you not find out?" Calamus laughed at herself, "There is a saying in the Inner Service Bureau: there is nothing that cannot be done, only those who are unwilling to do things." ”

Gu Lan whimpered: "This sentence was said when the Empress Dowager Mingchun was alive, and later became an unwritten admonition of the Inner Service Bureau. ”

Calamus squatted down in front of her: "At the beginning, the Empress Dowager Mingchun was poisoned by a hundred flowers and insisted on giving birth to a child, and I am about to become a mother, how can I be willing to give up this child in person?" ”

Gu Lan slowly looked up at Calamus: "Does Niang Niang know?" You are really like the Empress Dowager Mingchun. ”

This is the second time that someone has said that there are statues of calamus and the Empress Dowager Mingchun.

Calamus laughed: "Where is it like?" ”

"Feeling." Gu Lan said, "From the moment Niangniang stepped into the Inner Service Bureau, the slave maid felt that Niangniang was quite similar to the Empress Dowager Mingchun. ”

"I'm just a concubine who was promoted from the palace, how can I be compared with the Empress Dowager Mingchun?"

Gu Lan shook his head: "Niangniang was a palace maid before, at least she was innocent, but do you know?" The Empress Dowager Mingchun is still the daughter of a criminal minister, from entering the palace, giving birth to a dragon species, and being crowned...... During this period, he was framed and wronged countless times. Even when she left, it was with grievances......"

Calamus was surprised: "This...... I've never heard of it. ”

"Since the Empress Dowager Mingchun left, the palace has blocked any news about her, so naturally you don't know." Gulan said to Calamus, "Niangniang, for the sake of the future, the slave and maid have the courage to ask you to give up this child. ”

Calamus shook her head silently: "This is a life, I can't give up." ”

"......"

"The emperor is the flesh and blood of the Empress Dowager Mingchun, isn't he very good?"

Gu Lan sighed: "No, the child who was scattered by a hundred flowers is still gone in the end. The emperor is the child born to the queen's mother. ”

"Why?"

Gu Lan was very calm: "That child can't speak, his mind is demented, and Yongxiang is not a human at all, and there is no one to treat him when he is sick, and he never wakes up after a high fever that does not go away and falls asleep." ”

The calamus shuddered.

"Is Niangniang still insisting on giving birth to a child?"

Calamus took a deep breath and did not speak.

She turned to Guran behind her and said, "Have you thought about it?" Stay here and wait for death or go out to find the culprit. ”

"The slave also wants to find out the real culprit," Gu Lan's eyes were extremely determined, "I must not let Baihuasan kill the women in the palace." ”

Calamus dragged away with a wide-sleeved long skirt.

When I got outside, I saw a few old grandmothers pulling Ping'er to prevent her from resisting, and she kept shouting: "If Aunt Rong, you can't go in, Concubine An is inside." ”

Ruorong didn't see the calamus, so he raised his hand and slapped Ping'er: "Dog thing!" This is the Supervisory Yuan! I'm the Inspector Aunt! ”

She was about to fight a second time, but Calamus grabbed her hand and approached her face, and said calmly: "She is just a palace maid, she only knows how to act according to orders, and it is the palace that wants to go in to see Gulan, and she can't blame her." If Aunt Ruorong feels that this palace is offended, she will hit this palace. ”

Ruorong looked at her hatefully and withdrew his hand: "Concubine An's words are serious." ”

Calamus didn't want to bother with her lips: "Please Aunt Ruorong take good care of Gu Lan, before tomorrow, if she has any mistakes, this palace will be counted on your head." ”

If you refuse to answer.

Calamus hinted at her with a smile: "By the way, if Aunt Rong doesn't forget to select the internal attendants in a few days, this palace is very optimistic about you." ”

Sun Wenfeng rushed to the East Palace and questioned Calamus: "You said that you wouldn't cause trouble, but it turned out to be a big mess all of a sudden." Just now, the queen was still looking for me, and she said that she couldn't release Gulan if she said anything. ”

Calamus was not in a hurry: "The concubine thinks that this matter was not done by Gu Lan. ”

"Who did that?"

"The concubine doesn't know."

"You say she's innocent without evidence, and you still want to release her? How do you ask me to explain to the Inner Chamberlain Bureau and the Harem? ”

"I don't know who wants to harm the children of the concubines, but who will not harm the children of the concubines can tell the difference." Calamus's anger also came up, and her eyes widened, "And the emperor should say that the concubine is doing this to make you very embarrassed by the queen's mother." ”

I can't say why, seeing him protecting Su Ruyuan like that, Calamus felt uncomfortable, as if the child in her belly was being tortured.

"Gladiolus!"

Calamus said half-jokingly: "She is the queen, and she is the only one who gave birth to a prince, so the emperor should be on her side." ”

"I think you're irrational in this."

Calamus Zhengzheng said: "The concubine is not like the emperor, there is one less child and countless women waiting to be born, the concubine has lost a child before, this time she was scattered, no matter what, she can't be very calm." The emperor said that he couldn't give his concubines justice, couldn't the concubines get justice for themselves? ”

Seeing that she was so aggressive, Sun raised his hand to overturn the things on the table, and the sound of breaking shocked the palace people outside, Ping'er wanted to go in but was pulled by Fu Rongbao, he shook his head and signaled her not to go in.

Sun Wen was loud enough for people outside to hear: "You said that you wanted to keep this wasted child, I promised you, you said that you wanted to see Gulan, and I also promised you, but when did you think about it?" ”

Calamus refused to put down her face at all: "The emperor wants his concubines to return to the palace, so he should think of it." ”

She was a little sad, and more absolutely.

Sun Wen laughed at himself: "Yes, I am too persistent, I have to force you to come back, and you still can't avoid suffering disasters when you come back." ”

The atmosphere condensed.

"Aunt Gulan is the personal maid of the Empress Dowager Mingchun." Calamus finally lowered her posture slightly, and said softly, "The concubine heard that the Empress Dowager Chun had been in Yongxiang for ten years, and during the ten years, Aunt Gulan would not leave an inch, and such a faithful person would come to harm the concubine for no reason?" What's more, the concubine is pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood, even for the emperor's sake, she must not do such a thing. ”

There was silence for a while, and after a while, Sun Wen asked, "If you want to let her out, what reason do you plan to use?" ”

Calamus knelt down with her stomach half-upright: "The concubine will find a way to save Gulan from it, and the only request is to ask the emperor not to interfere in the affairs of the harem." ”

She was afraid, afraid that Sun Wen would be detrimental to herself because of overprotective Su Ruyuan.

Sun Wen stretched out his hand, Calamus looked up at him, put his hand in his palm and stood up.

"It's going to be a mess and it's hard for you to get out of it when the time comes," he said. ”

Calamus smiled indifferently: "The matter has come to this, and the concubine feels that her life is no longer so important." ”

"But it's important to me."

Calamus was stunned.

Sun Wen explained: "Although the child in your womb is useless, he is my flesh and blood after all, and you have to save your life no matter what you say." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Also, don't mention the Empress Dowager Mingchun next time."

Su Ruyuan, Wen Jieyu, Ruorong...... Almost all of them were in the Inspectorate waiting to see Guran executed.

Or maybe it was not their intention to see a palace maid executed, but to see if Tang Iris would attend in the end.

Calamus walked towards them in a silver-red engraved silk plum pattern long-sleeved dress.

Today, she is already in the position of Concubine An, and it is also the first time she has appeared in front of everyone, obviously specially pointed, and her slightly bulging belly is the focus of everyone's attention.

Now everyone knows what the child in her belly means, and everyone can't fathom her mind.

Calamus saluted Su Ruyuan: "The concubine is the queen mother." ”

Su Ruyuan helped her with a smile: "My sister is outside, you don't have to do these rituals now that you are pregnant." ”

Calamus smiled modestly and said, "Thank you sister for your grace." ”

This sentence made Su Ruyuan's stunning face stunned for a moment.

She quickly regained her demeanor and asked Calamus, "Why did my sister think of coming over today?" ”

"I heard that today is the day of the execution of Aunt Gulan, and the concubine has to come here." Calamus pretended to be affectionate and grabbed Su Ruyuan's hand, "Sister doesn't know, the person who poisoned the concubine is not Gu Lan." ”

"Huh?" Everyone present screamed in amazement.

Ruorong stood up first: "It has been confirmed that the hundred flowers are indeed emanating from Gu Lan, is Concubine An mistaken?" ”
