"I want you to never be at ease for the rest of your life." I stepped forward and looked back into her eyes that were about to slash me, "You must know that the wrong thing you have done cannot be solved by a single word, and you will be condemned by your conscience for the rest of your life." ”

That night, Yelu was indeed dismissed from the official title and was not allowed to set foot in the palace for the rest of his life. The golden seal and purple ribbon of Liancheng Jinxiang were taken back and confined in the dormitory, and they were no longer allowed to interfere in the affairs of the harem.

Yeluhuan did two things in such a resolute manner, which aroused the incomprehension and opposition of most people in the court.

But Yeluhuan did not explain these reasons, this is a family matter, and it is categorically impossible for the ministers of the court to know.

That night, the golden seal and purple ribbon of Liancheng Jinxiang was sent to my dormitory by the head of Bai Fu, saying that it was ordered by the Great Khan that I would be in charge of the harem on behalf of the eldest lady in the future, which also attracted the dissatisfaction of the concubine.

The first moment she saw me, she didn't wait for me to salute, and she just slapped me in the face.

I didn't hide, I took the hard slap hard, and half of my face hurt hotly.

"Concubine Yue, you are so bold, you dare to incite the Great Khan to deal with your younger brother and wife." The concubine accused, her anger rushed straight to her heart, and her whole face turned red with anger.

I was silently convinced, in a sense, I did such a thing, but how could I possibly admit, "The concubine didn't." ”

"Huan'er has been with you tonight, and when he returned to the dormitory, he made two decrees, what great rebellion did they commit to deserve this? You must have bewitched him with your words, and you should have set you up with the waste of incense. The mourners tell you not to be delusional. ”

Her voice rose higher and higher, and her whole body trembled with anger.

"Didn't Huan tell you?" My calm voice was in stark contrast to her angry voice.

"Say what?"

I stepped forward, attached myself to her ear, and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "The little uncle has an adulterous affair with the sister-in-law, what do you think, concubine?" ”

I saw that the concubine's face changed suddenly, and she moved her mouth, but she didn't make a sound at all. I could clearly see that a few drops of cold sweat were dripping down her forehead.

……

After more than two months, the matter between Liancheng Jinxiang and Yelu has calmed down. But Yeluhuan doesn't seem to be able to let go yet, these days often in the imperial study for a few days have not come out, I rarely see him, every time I come just sit in a hurry for a while and leave, saying that there are a lot of notes to be reviewed.

I know that he couldn't get away from what Jerod was doing because he trusted his brother too much. Or, because remembered, Jeruzy?

Perhaps, he was still shocked by the betrayal, the trust and vigilance of the emperor's family are mutual, if you beware, it will ruin the relationship between brothers, if you trust, what you get is ruthless betrayal.

I understood this truth for a long time, but it seems that the deeper I get into it, the more I can't understand it...... Everyone envies the emperor's house, but who understands the suffering of these people who stand on the highest place?

These days, Yeluhuan still treats me as usual on the surface, but the injuries in his eyes from time to time can't deceive people.

I don't want to ask too much and provoke his injury again.

And I rarely see Liancheng Yanping these days, if it weren't for his surname reminding me of his relationship with the Liancheng family, I would almost have thought that he was not the young master of the Liancheng family.

Recently, however, I heard that Yeluhuan had frequently summoned him to his study, and it seemed that he was discussing something very important.

Is it to deal with Xiao Jincheng? So fast...... Xiao Jincheng's court just got rid of Prime Minister Xia, and his vitality must have been greatly damaged, so it stands to reason that this time is indeed a good opportunity to deal with Xiao Jincheng...... But is it really that easy?

When I stepped here again today, I realized that I hadn't come to see Liu Min for a long time, since I was grounded by the Queen Mother a year ago......

But when I opened the door, I saw her lying on the bed sickly, coughing harshly.

I immediately rushed to Liu Min's side, looked at the palace maid who was serving her, and said sharply, "What's the matter?" "Why is it so sick?

"The little master has been coughing heavily for several days, and the slave maid went to ask the medical officer, but they saw that the little master was not favored, so they refused to come to heal. The minion wanted to ask Concubine Yue for help, but you were grounded at that time and couldn't see you at all. It didn't get better until a few months ago, but today it has relapsed, and it's much worse than before. She fell to her knees, trembling slightly.

"You go to the medical officer now, just say it's my order, if you don't come, wait to lose your head." I gritted my teeth and commanded word by word.

originally wanted her to find Liancheng, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them raw.

Their relationship can not be exposed, either for her sake or ...... He......

Looking at her with a pale face, the worry in my heart intensified, and she ...... If something happens, how can I explain it to Liancheng? When he sent us in, he told me to take good care of Liu Min, but I didn't do it, and she became sick like this......

I clasped the soft and weak hand with both hands, and said in a trembling voice, "Sister, don't worry, you will have the opportunity to meet Liancheng soon, he has the edict of the first emperor to give him, the first emperor...... Clever, right? Before he died, he took Xiao Jincheng's army...... So we have a good chance of winning, and soon, you will be back with him, with him forever, and you will have your own children. ”

I keep giving her hope, giving her expectations, and giving her an expectation to persevere.

She smiled weakly, and her dull eyes had a hint of brilliance, "Together...... The child ......" laughed, but there was a hint of despair, "No, I'm afraid my body can't hold that moment." ”

"Sister, don't talk nonsense, how can you have anything?" I forced a smile and soothed her.

"My own body, I know it. If I really don't die...... Back to him...... "Her tears rolled down her face in an instant, wetting the pillow, looking at her my whole heart tugged, "If I can, I really want to see Yan Ping for the last time now......"

My eyes were wet with tears, and I swallowed hard and smiled, "As long as your illness gets better, I'll arrange for you to meet, okay?" ”

Her eyes lit up, "Really? Can you really see it......"

I nodded vigorously.

"Madame, the medical officer is here."

As soon as I heard the arrival of the medical officer, I immediately got up from the side of the bed so that the medical officer could check the pulse, but I did not know whether I was getting up too quickly or feeling unwell, and it was dark in front of me, and I could not stand on my feet at all.

The medical officer hurriedly helped me who was about to collapse, "Madam, the servant will check your pulse first." ”

I shook my head, "Let's take the pulse of Doro first." I found a small round stool and sat down, supported my slightly dizzy forehead with one hand, and waited for the imperial doctor to check the pulse of his red line.

After a while, he put away the thread, stroked his beard and said, "The little master's illness has accumulated into a disease due to a long time of incurability, coupled with her taciturn temperament, depression and heart disease, it is difficult to cure, and the slave thinks that it is better to solve the little master's heart disease first and then treat it." But...... It is difficult to say whether it can be cured or not. ”

Hearing this, my heart rose slightly, "What did you say?" Can't be cured? My eyes suddenly felt dark, and I almost fell off the chair, but the imperial doctor immediately stepped forward to help me, "Big lady, your face is very pale, and the servant still diagnoses your body first and then talks about the condition of the little master Doro." ”

He wrapped the red thread around my wrist and treated me for a long time, and his face turned from initial worry to a smile, and he sighed happily, "Congratulations, lady, you are a happy pulse." You were the first to conceive a dragon for the Great Khan, congratulations......"

My face stiffened, and as I watched the Imperial Doctor's mouth open and close, my mind suddenly no longer functioning.

He said Ximai? Am I pregnant? How...... Possible?

My voice trembled slightly, "Impossible! ”

The medical officer was stunned for a while because of my words, "Madam, it is true, you are more than a month pregnant. ”

I still shook my head, as if I heard a thunderbolt on a sunny day, "How can I be pregnant...... I have been taking musk for nearly half a year, and I am already infertile...... You must have made a mistake. ”

The doctor rolled up the red thread again to diagnose me, and I looked at the expression on his face with bated breath, almost stopping breathing.

After a long time, he withdrew the red line and stared at me suspiciously, "Big lady, there is no musk you said in your interior at all, how can you say that you are infertile?" ”

I bounced up from the stool, "You talk nonsense! ”

The medical officer immediately knelt down, "The eldest lady is angry, what the slave said is true, there is no half-truth, if you don't believe it, you can ask a few more medical officers to come and check the pulse......"

I took a few steps back, "impossible to ......" my legs gradually weakened, and my thoughts were in chaos.

The room suddenly fell into an awkward atmosphere, so strange that even I didn't dare to breathe, I could only clasp my fingers tightly, my nails pinched into my palms, and the pain spread.

The medical officer called out a little fearfully, "Big lady......"

I was silent for a long time, and finally took a deep breath, "You are not allowed to mention Mrs. Ben's pregnancy to anyone. ”

"This ...... It's a good thing that the eldest lady is pregnant......" the imperial doctor blurted out urgently.

I interrupted sharply, "Just do as Madame Ben instructs, if you dare to leak half a sentence, you are the only one who asks." ”

I returned to Lanxiangju in a daze, and the scenery of the servants everywhere was dim.

When Xiang'er saw me coming back from afar, she ran towards me and shouted, "Master, the Great Khan has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Hearing this, I lost my mind for a moment, and took a few steps back in a trance, wanting to go back.

"Heart." A low call from Jerewam halted me, and I looked at him standing within the threshold of the dormitory, looking at me with such earnestness in his eyes.

Faintly evaded, and walked slowly towards him.

"What's wrong with you? The face is so pale. He stroked my forehead worriedly, "Xiang'er, go and ask Yanping to come over for ......"

"No need." I hurriedly interrupted.

His worry faded away, replaced by a look of doubt, "What the hell is wrong with you?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm just tired, just rest. Don't you still have a lot of things to do, don't delay state affairs because of me. I forced a smile on my face and pushed him out of the dormitory.

"Do you blame me for snubbing you these days, in fact, ......" he anxiously wanted to explain, but I smiled and shook my head, "No, how can I blame you." I really just ...... Tired. "It's even more ...... It's messy!

Looking at me, he suddenly fell silent, staring at me quietly, as if to see me through.

I pretended not to see it, and smiled at Xiang'er, "Xiang'er, send it to the emperor." "Anyway, I didn't stop long, and walked towards the palace on foot, and it was quiet behind me, but I never looked back.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty dormitory, the faint candle flame swayed on the table, and the red tears rolled down, and I reached out to take it. The hot red wax dripped on my skin, and I bit my lower lip hard to keep myself from crying.

- That's right, your so-called plum blossom brew is exactly the same as the smell I drank back then.

- Tell me, did you already know that plum blossom stuffed with musk in it! So you were a little excited when you saw me drinking this tea that day?

- Yes.

- I'm sorry.

- Did you do anything to be sorry for me?

- It's nothing, as long as you're happy. Go find your own life, fly as far as you can, and never come back.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I thought about everything......
