229, protect the bloodline

She looked at the scattered for a long time before she whispered, "Did you save my child?" ”

Scattered nodded and said: "Actually, it has nothing to do with me, it was our master who saved your child, and it was the lady concubine." ”

When Mu Xue heard Ling Luo say this, she immediately felt ashamed in her heart, because she had tried her best to harm Tang Jingran in the past, but she didn't expect that Tang Jingran would not only ignore her past suspicions, but also save her wholeheartedly, which made her feel very ashamed.

Instead, Na Tang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, your illness has just improved, why mention so many things." Although I said that I saved you, your body is very weak, and if you don't take supplements, maybe it won't be long before you can take care of yourself. ”

Tang Jingran said as he was very enthusiastic and asked the little palace maids to bring a lot of supplements to Mu Xue. Of course, her actions were all secret, and she didn't let those little palace maids find out that Mu Xue was hiding here.

If it is found that Mu Xue is hiding here, then the next situation will be very terrifying, with Wan Zhen'er's vicious character, she will definitely not allow Mu Xue to live, let alone allow the emperor's heirs to be passed on.

If the emperor must have a child, the child must be born to Wan Zhen'er.

Wan Zhen'er has this kind of mentality now, because the emperor relies on her very much. So she was rampant in the harem, and everyone dared to be angry when they saw her, and Wan Zhen'er became more and more arrogant.

Wan Zhen'er's arrogant behavior caused many people to be dissatisfied, but all of them only dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. No one dared to confront Wan Zhen'er in person, because even the last time the Empress Dowager Zhou went to Wan Zhen'er to settle the account, Wan Zhen'er was angry and came back, and Wan Zhen'er was angry.

It can be seen that Wan Zhen'er is really covering the sky with one hand now, and Mu Xue's body is getting better day by day, watching Mu Xue getting better day by day, Tang Jingran also feels very comforted.

Tang Jingran said to Mu Xue, she said: "No matter what, until now, you must take good care of your body, whether the emperor recognizes this child in the future, whether you don't recognize this child, you have to live well, and you must take good care of your own child, because the child is your own, no matter whether others admit it or not, this child is never a tool you use to play power." Am I right? ”

Tang's shocked words sounded in Mu Xue's heart, making Mu Xue feel ashamed and indignant.

Tang Jingran's words made Mu Xue feel very ashamed for the following reasons, because in the past, Mu Xue had cooperated with Queen Wang to think about dealing with Tang Jingran, although they didn't succeed in dealing with it in the end, but they still had such thoughts.

Moreover, Mu Xue really wanted to use her child as a bargaining chip for the rest of her life, and now when she heard Tang Jingran say this, her mentality suddenly calmed down.

She looked at Tang in shock, tears welled up in her eyes, and said: "Concubine Niangniang, you are right, I have written down everything you said, I will definitely treat this child well in the future, whether his father admits it or not, I will do my best to take care of him." ”

Tang Jingran felt very comforted when he heard her say this, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these sad topics, you can rest well in this palace." As long as you have a good rest, you will soon be able to take care of your body. ”

Mu Xue looked at Tang Stunned and Scattered with great gratitude, and said in a loud voice, "Thank you two." ”

Mu Xue recuperated in the Yonghe Palace that Tang was shocked, and her body really got better day by day. It is really a miracle that Mu Xue was able to survive, because at the beginning, Mu Xue was already seriously injured.

At first, he was sent by Wan Zhen'er to pour red flowers, and later he was beaten by Wan Zhen'er with a wooden stick.

But this Mu Xue actually took a leisurely breath and held on leisurely. And the child in her belly has such tenacious perseverance and has survived with her.

She happened to be seen by Tang Shocking and saved her, otherwise, even if there was a thread missing, this Mu Xue would not survive.

Mu Xue was very grateful to Tang for being shocked and scattered, so far, she didn't think about anything, she just wanted to give birth to this child safely, and when it came to the future, as for how she lived with this child, then she would plan it later, she believed that there must be a road before the car reached the mountain, and she also believed that there was no endless road. As long as you are willing to persevere, then this child will definitely be fine.

Thinking of this, she felt very happy in her heart, after all, being able to survive, living is a blessing, isn't it?

But Tang was shocked to hide Mu Xue's matter, and it slowly spread in the harem. At first, it was Tang Jingran's little palace maid who broke into Tang Jingran's bedroom and found a woman lying in her bedroom, but that woman was not Tang Jingran. And the woman had a big belly, looked very thin, and the whole person looked like she had been seriously injured, and she looked weak.

The palace maid was startled, and then ran out, and after she ran out, she immediately attracted a lot of onlookers.

They asked her what was the matter, and she told them what had happened. And at this time, Zero Luo happened to come over, and Zero Luo loudly reprimanded them, telling them not to bewitch the crowd and talk nonsense.

Although Scattered suppressed this matter against the wind, it still responded to a sentence that there was no impermeable wall in the palace, and this matter was quickly spread all over the palace.

Seeing that this matter was about to reach Wan Zhen'er's ears, and once it reached Wan Zhen'er's ears, Wan Zhen'er would not let Mu Xue go no matter what, so Tang was shocked and thought about it, and sighed: "Now instead of having a hard time with Wan Zhen'er, it is better to ask for help from the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces." ”

She first went to ask the former queen mother for help, and after she told the former queen mother about this matter, the former queen mother recited the Buddhist beads and said: "Since there is such a sinful thing." Well, in that case, the mourning family will go with you to meet the Empress Dowager Zhou. ”

Because what the former queen mother is saying in this harem now can't be counted. On the contrary, it was the Empress Dowager Zhou, she had always been tough, and the people in the harem were afraid of her, so Tang was shocked and came to the palace of the Empress Dowager Zhou with the former Empress Dowager.

After the Empress Dowager Zhou was so angry with Wan Zhen'er that she fell ill, she closed the door and refused to see anyone. Suddenly, I heard that Tang Jingran came with the former Queen Mother, she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the two people, and the former Queen Mother didn't have any dealings with Tang Jingran on weekdays. Why did the two of them come to her together now?

Despite this, she still said to Qingsha: "I don't want to see them, I'm not in good health, what's the use of seeing them, after they come in, they just laugh at me in vain." ”

When the green yarn heard this, she said: "Since the mother refuses to see her, then there is nothing, so I will go out and send them away." ”

So after she went out, she said to the former Queen Mother and Tang Jingran: "Former Queen Mother, Tang Shufei, I'm sorry, our mother said that she can't see you, mainly because her health is really bad, and I ask the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu to forgive me." ”

After hearing this, the former Queen Mother was slightly stunned, she knew that the Queen Mother Zhou refused to see her, probably because she had never had a good relationship with her.

After thinking about it, she said: "I really have something important to discuss with the Empress Dowager Zhou, this matter is related to the rise and fall of the harem, if I can't see the Empress Dowager Zhou today, I will definitely refuse to leave, so you have to talk to the Empress Dowager Zhou anyway." ”

That Qingsha has never seen the former Queen Mother have such a tough time, and the former Queen Mother's dignity is above the Queen Mother Zhou after all, and now she deigned to come here to see the Queen Mother Zhou, if Qingsha turned her away again, it is always unreasonable.

So Qingsha bowed, Buddha a Buddha, and said to her: "Then please wait a little longer for the former Empress Dowager and Concubine Tang Shu, and Qingsha will immediately go to the Empress Dowager Zhou to pray." ”

After finishing speaking, the green yarn walked back again, and when the Empress Dowager Zhou saw her suddenly walk in again, she raised her hand and said, "You green yarn, how did I tell you?" Why do you still bother the mourning family, didn't the mourning family tell you that the mourning family is unwell? ”

Seeing this, Qingsha hurriedly knelt down and said to her: "Queen Mother, I didn't mean to disturb you, but at this moment, the former Queen Mother is outside, she said that she must see the Queen Mother, if she can't see the Queen Mother, she won't leave anyway." Qingsha looked at her as if she was really in trouble, and she was afraid that she would delay the Queen Mother's affairs, so she came in and reported to the Queen Mother again. ”

"Oh, the former Queen Mother has to see me? What does the former Queen Mother want to see me for? ”

"Qingsha didn't know either, Qingsha just heard her say that she had something important to meet, so she came." The green yarn hurriedly lowered her eyebrows and said to the Empress Dowager Zhou.

The Empress Dowager Zhou nodded, thought for a long time, and finally said: "That's it, since the former Empress Dowager came to see me in person today, if I don't see her again, it seems that I really want to have no stomach, I am indeed angry with Wan Zhen'er, and I don't like Tang Zhen'er, but I don't have any opinions on the former Empress Dowager." ”

Qingsha heard what the Empress Dowager Zhou said, so she hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, I will quickly invite the former Empress Dowager and Tang Shufei in, it is rare that Tang Shufei is willing to come to visit the Empress Dowager Zhou in person today." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou bowed: "Then you can invite them in." ”

The Empress Dowager Zhou asked the palace maids and eunuchs to wait, freshen up and dress up, and then came to the main hall to meet the former Empress Dowager and Tang Jingran, after the former Empress Dowager and Tang Jingran walked in, Tang Jingran helped the former Empress Dowager to sit down on the rosewood chair on the side.

Empress Dowager Zhou opened her mouth and asked, "I don't know why the former Empress Dowager suddenly came to me today, but is there anything important?" ”

"I came today, there is indeed one thing, it is to shock this child to come to me and tell me something, I feel very uncomfortable after hearing it, so I hurried to find the Empress Dowager Zhou to make it clear."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Zhou's eyebrows were suddenly covered with frost, she stared at the former Empress Dowager and said, "Empress Dowager, what do you mean by this, are you here to find the mourning family?" ”

When the former Queen Mother heard her say this, she knew that she had misunderstood, so she shook her head and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it, Queen Mother Zhou, this matter is related to another person." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou cleared her throat and said, "Then what's going on, please make it clear to the former Empress Dowager." lest it be unclear and misunderstood by the mourners, it will be bad. ”

The former Empress Dowager was angry for a while, she eased her emotions, and knew that now was not the time to worry about the gains and losses of words with the Empress Dowager Zhou, so she said to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "It was Concubine Tang Shu who came to find the mourning family today and told the mourning family something, so the mourning family felt that it was necessary to tell the Empress Dowager Zhou about this matter, so she came to you on purpose." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou became a little calm, although she once complained about the former Empress Dowager, but now she and the former Empress Dowager are on the same front.

So she asked, "What is the matter, please tell the former Queen Mother." ”

So the former queen mother said: "Concubine Tang Shu came to me today and said that there is a palace maid in our harem named Mu Xue. Na Muxue turned out to be the maid next to the queen, but later she was killed by Wan Zhen'er and Wan Guifei because she was pregnant with the emperor's child. It's just that she was blessed with a great life and didn't die, she happened to be saved by Tang Shufei, and Tang Shufei contained her in the palace. Now that Concubine Tang Shu has taken in this Mu Xue, the matter has spread throughout the palace, and everyone in the harem knows about it, if Concubine Tang doesn't tell us the two old words about this matter, then Mu Xue will definitely not be able to keep it. That Mu Xue is also pregnant with our royal child, if we don't care, will we still watch her being bullied to death by Wan Zhen'er? This Wan Zhen'er has indeed gone too far lately. ”

As soon as the Empress Dowager Zhou heard the former Empress Dowager mention Wan Zhen'er, she was angry, and she said hatefully: "No, this Wan Zhen'er is more and more empty, she thinks that in this harem, she is nothing, just a little concubine." There are two palaces above her, and the eldest princess? As a result, there is no respect for the elders, wasn't she angry with the mourning family last time? It's really annoying to talk about this, and it was for this Mu Xue girl at that time. ”

Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager Zhou shook her head again and said: "It's just that I want to make it clear to the former Empress Dowager and Concubine Tang Shu about this matter, no matter what, the mourning family will not take care of this Mu Xue's matter, because the child in Mu Xue's belly is not the emperor at all." ”

"What?" The former Empress Dowager and Tang were shocked to change their faces, neither of them expected that the Empress Dowager Zhou would suddenly say this.

Empress Dowager Zhou said quietly there: "When I started, I questioned the emperor, and the emperor said that he would not do such an unexplained thing. At that time, he did go to the cold palace to visit Queen Wang, but he did not have a misty marriage with this named Mu Xue, this Mu Xue is really bold, in order to spread his wings in this harem, he did not hesitate to pretend that he was pregnant with the emperor, if she was killed, it would be deserved. ”

When the former Empress Dowager and Tang Jingran heard the Empress Dowager Zhou say this, the two of them looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

And Tang stood up in surprise and said to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "Empress Dowager, presumably you didn't inquire clearly, right?" I asked that Mu Xue clearly, she said that the child is indeed the emperor, and the queen mother, do you think, that Mu Xue accompanied the queen in the cold palace, there is not even a man in the cold palace, usually except for the eunuch is the palace maid, this Mu Xue wants to get along with others, where is the man?

Speaking of this, she stared at the Empress Dowager Zhou resolutely and didn't say a word.

When Empress Dowager Zhou heard Tang Jingran say this, she suddenly had a feeling of sudden realization in her heart, and she felt that what Tang Jingran said was still very reasonable.

There is not even a man in this cold palace, so if Mu Xue wants to find someone to make peace, where can she find a man. It's just that since the emperor told her that, he must have made it clear that he didn't want to recognize this child.

Empress Dowager Zhou still cherishes her children very much in her heart, but if she is now soft on the former Empress Dowager and Tang Jingran, it seems that she, the Empress Dowager, has no face at all.

So in order to save her face, she pulled down her face and said, "Tang Shufei, what do you mean by this?" Since the emperor said so, don't you want to believe the emperor's words? No matter what, the mourning family will not recognize the child in Mu Xue's belly as a grandson anyway, if you have to take care of this idle matter, then the mourning family has no choice, in short, the mourning family will definitely not care about this matter. ”

When the former queen mother heard her say that, she was clearly quibbling. The former Empress Dowager was immediately a little angry and said: "Okay, you don't care about this matter Empress Dowager Zhou, then let the mourning family take care of it, the mourning family will welcome Mu Xue and the child in her belly to the mourning family's palace now, but in the future, the Empress Dowager Zhou should not blame the mourning family again." ”

After speaking, she was about to stand up and leave, but Tang Jingran hurriedly grabbed her and persuaded her: "The former queen mother, please be restless." ”

The former Queen Mother is the most peaceful person, if something big didn't happen, she wouldn't be angry at all, but she just felt that the Queen Mother was too unsound this week. can even say such a thing, and even refuse to recognize his own children, how can he be someone else's grandmother? That's why the former Queen Mother was inevitably angry.

The former queen mother heard that Tang Jingran grabbed her, and she said to Tang Jingran, she said: "Tang Shufei, the mourning family knows that you have good intentions, but in this matter, no matter what, the mourning family will not give in, what the mourning family wants to preserve is the bloodline of the Ming Dynasty, it is the grandson of the former emperor, and the mourning family is for the first emperor, and they must do their best to protect this child." Now that the eldest princess is not in the palace, is there no one in the harem? ”

Empress Dowager Zhou didn't want to pay attention to this matter because she was angry with Wan Zhen'er before, and what she said by herself was quite suspicious of being slapped in the face, so after hearing what the former Empress Dowager said, she didn't plan to admit Mu Xue and her child.

In fact, the Empress Dowager Zhou still has some affection for that child in her heart, because after all, it is still her grandson, and Zhu Jianshen has been on the throne for so long, and she doesn't even have a child, that Empress Dowager Zhou, as her biological mother, is of course secretly anxious, but she can't wipe off her face for a while, but she didn't expect the former Empress Dowager to be furious.

The former Queen Mother rarely gets angry in front of the Queen Mother Zhou, every time she gets angry in front of the Queen Mother Zhou, it is because of a major event, but every time the former Queen Mother gets angry, it reminds the Queen Mother Zhou of when she was angry with the Queen Mother for her concubines, so she shook her hand and said: "Anyway, the mourning family will not take care of this matter, since the former Queen Mother wants to take care of it so much, then the former Queen Mother will take care of it."
