raised his hand to stroke his lower abdomen, looking forward to it for so long, he was already disheartened, but he didn't admit that there was already a little life in it.

Xiao's heart was mixed, and a teardrop slid down her cheek.

Zhong Hanchi, the king of Jin, received the news and rushed to the side hall of the Qing Guifei's bedroom, Xiao was already asleep.

Looking at the sleeping face that was both familiar and unfamiliar, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

This woman has been married to him for more than a year, and marrying her is just to encircle Prime Minister Xiao's family so that they can serve themselves with all their hearts.

At that time, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this move, in his eyes, in his heart, there was no love, only a desire for that position.

It doesn't matter to him who is his concubine, what he values is not a certain woman, but the power behind her.

One day, those eyes that shone with colorful light crashed into his heart, and he tried the thrilling feeling for the first time.

It has nothing to do with interests, nothing to do with identity, just a simple liking, I like it so much that I want to take her as my own, and let her be by my side at all times.

He thought so, and he did. From childhood to adulthood, what he wants, he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.

In order to let Xiao conceive an heir as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to work hard every night, and now Xiao's stomach finally moved, but the woman who made him excited had already married someone else.

When Xiao woke up, it was getting late, only a candlestick was lit in the hall, and in the dim light, she saw a person sitting in front of the bed.

The flickering candlelight reflected on the side of his face, blurry, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"Lord Wang, when did you come?"

Zhong Hanchi raised his head, and his voice was as flat as water: "I came here for a while, and when I saw you asleep, I didn't wake you up." ”

"You know everything?" There was a hint of hope in Xiao's eyes.

"Well, the mother said that you are not suitable for activities now, let's raise it here for a few days, and when it is better, this king will come to pick you up and take you home." Zhong Hanchi's tone did not hear a trace of surprise that he would become a father.

Xiao's eyes dimmed, and the joy he felt when he woke up and saw him by his side was instantly extinguished by his flat tone, and he said in a low voice: "The prince doesn't have to remember the concubine. ”

"You can rest, just tell your mother what you need." Zhong Hanchi got up and left the side hall without a moment's nostalgia.

A teardrop slid down Xiao's cheek onto the pillow, followed by a second, a third......

This is her first child, and it is also the first child of King Jin, Concubine Qing has an order, and the first child of King Jin's Mansion must be a concubine.

Therefore, although there are other women in the house, no one has conceived an heir for the king of Jin.

Now the long-awaited child finally came, but she did not see a trace of joy in the face of the child's father.

I really don't know whether the arrival of this child is a blessing or a misfortune for her.

Xiao is pregnant, and the happiest person is Concubine Qing.

You must know that the crown prince has just gotten married, and the princess's stomach has not moved, if the Xiao family can give birth to a boy, it will undoubtedly be an important weight for King Jin in this political struggle.

Seeing that her son's face was dark and uncertain, and Concubine Qing's interest was also reduced a little, she glanced at Zhong Hanchi unhappily: "The Xiao family is pregnant with your heir, aren't you happy?" ”

"A woman is just pregnant with a child, so why not be happy." Zhong Hanchi took off his disguise in front of his mother.

"Hmph, don't think that this palace doesn't know what you're thinking!" Qing Guifei snorted coldly, "Take away what little bit of your mind is." I told you a long time ago that the people of the Murong family are not easy to mess with, and now it is just right. ”

The corners of Zhong Hanchi's lips showed a hint of self-deprecation: "It's just right, it's just what you want." ”

"Chi'er, you have been steady since you were a child, why are you so assertive now?" Qing Guifei sighed, very hateful that iron does not become steel, "Those who have achieved great things, how can they let some irrelevant things stumble?" ”

Zhong Hanchi got up and saluted: "Erchen knows, please rest assured." There are still affairs in the house that need to be handled by the sons, and the sons and daughters will retire! ”

After that, he brushed his sleeves and left, regardless of whether Concubine Qing still had a black face.

He didn't want to argue with his mother about anything, although his mother was his father's favorite concubine, but did she love the emperor more or the powerful more? I'm afraid she knows it herself.

Over the years, she has fought openly and secretly with the queen, just for the status of this harem.

I have to say that this woman still has some means, and now even the queen in charge of the harem is a little jealous of her.

What else can I say to a woman who doesn't even love her husband?

The news that Xiao was pregnant spread quickly, and even the emperor was very happy, he himself had a thin heir, although the eldest princess had already given birth to a son and a daughter, but after all, the eldest prince was from a humble background, and the emperor did not really regard his son as his own grandson at all.

In his mind, the child in Xiao's womb is his first imperial grandson in the true sense.

Hearing that Xiao's fetus was unstable, the emperor specially ordered people to reward a lot of precious supplements, and repeatedly told Concubine Qing to take care of her.

Because of this, the assassination of the eldest princess has become a topic that cannot be mentioned.

Dali Temple, under the instruction of the emperor, in the name of assassination of foreign spies, covered up the matter. Xiangzhuyuan and others were all secretly executed, and all evidence was destroyed.

This made Gao Zhilan, who had been unable to sleep well, breathe a sigh of relief.

At the beginning, she planned well, and after the matter was completed, she paid the honorarium and took back the waist card, even if it was difficult to find her head after a long time in the future.

But who knows, Xiangzhuyuan can actually miss, although the waist card is from the Jin Palace, but if you check it carefully, in the end, not only her, I am afraid that the entire Gao family will not be protected, and even the Qing Guifei will be affected.

If that were the case, she wouldn't have died.

Well, now everything is pressed down. I can only hate that Mo Jinxi not only did not die, but was accepted as a righteous daughter by the eldest princess.

This made Gao Zhilan angry and hateful, so she could only go to her mother again to discuss countermeasures.

Mrs. Gao's recent days have also been spent in shock, and when she heard that the eldest princess Long Fushan was assassinated, she knew that it must have been Gao Zhilan.

I had discussed with the Lu family before to ask the people of Xiangzhuyuan to make a move, but I didn't expect that my daughter would act alone without even saying hello, and she would calculate it on the head of the Jin Palace.

But the matter has come out, and it is in vain for her to say anything, so it is better to simply pretend not to know and wait and see.

Not only Mrs. Gao, but even the Princess Lu of Bac Ninh was nervous for many days.

As soon as he heard that the situation had subsided, the Lu family came directly to the door.

Coincidentally, as soon as the Lu family came, Gao Zhilan came over.

The Lu sisters were all angry when they saw her.

waved away the subordinates, Mrs. Gao pointed at Gao Zhilan and said angrily: "You are really bold, the eldest princess is also something you can move?" ”
