(Cat pounces Chinese) but at the time of a cup of tea, Concubine Qi Shu returned to her seat first, and Qi You re-entered the table after a long while, and the two of them hid their eyes and ears, thinking that no one was paying attention, and they didn't want the whole process to be seen clearly by Wen Wanrong and Dan Ze, who was sitting a little far away from the outer seat.

Wen Wanrong was worried that at the banquet, the emperor would pamper the peony in front of the princes and ministers, deepening Concubine Qi's resentment, so she paid special attention to Concubine Qi's every move.

And Dan Ze was full of vigilance against Qi You, Wen Si's death was over, but the bloody pillow was still lying quietly in the evidence room of Dali Temple, and Qi You warned him to destroy the evidence as soon as possible more than once, otherwise the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate would not be a vegetarian.

Dan Ze didn't take it seriously, who is a vegetarian who can sit in the position of the third division today? What's more, if you destroy the evidence, Qi You will be able to give up?

Danze lowered his long eyelashes, took a sip of this year's Yichun wine, and sighed in his heart that he would not be able to taste it next year.

He focused on the transparent and slightly beige wine in the cup, and didn't notice Wen Wanrong's unintentional gaze. When Wen Wanrong was looking for Song Zhi just now, she saw Dan Ze sitting in the back row, but Dan Ze was now in a dark green Confucian robe, which was more old and simple than the thriving flower scene in the Spring Imperial Garden at the beginning.

It can be seen that Danzer does not want to attract attention. Wen Wanrong knew that he didn't like this kind of entertainment, but he had to come again, so she sighed secretly with empathy, and her eyes returned to Qin Yang.

Qin Yang was born as a military general, and he has always disliked this kind of restrained palace banquet, in his words, he can't eat or drink well, and his face is stiff after smirking, and when he arrives at the Fengdian, he fights for red ears and red ears in the main hall, and his eyes are wide with anger, who remembers complimenting when drinking.

Feeling the gaze beside him, he turned his gaze and asked, "What's wrong?" Want to go back? Wen Wanrong shook her head lightly, drew her index finger around the edge of the cup, and smiled lightly: "The banquet is only halfway through, and it's not time to leave." Qin Yang approached with the intention of wine, the smell of wine blew on her face, the Adam's apple rolled, and she began to lose shape, smiling evilly: "It's not dark, are you in a hurry to go home?" Wen Wanrong pushed, glanced at him, persuaded him to drink less, and at the same time, whispered: "I just saw Concubine Qi and Qi You go out together." "The interest of a good husband and wife was ruined by the word Qi family.

Qin Yang spread out a little bit of wine, his face changed, and he picked up the wine cup in his hand and said disdainfully: "A Yan is famous for playing with words, what waves can be turned over." "Qi You alone is not to be afraid, but Concubine Qi also came in to participate, and Wen Wanrong had to guard against it.

"I'm worried about peonies." As he spoke, he glanced at the position next to the dragon chair without a trace, and gave Qin Yang another look,

"It's not a good thing for the imperial uncle to leave Peony alone to serve in front of the ministers." Qin Yang didn't understand that the harem was jealous, put down the wine glass, and asked why?

Wen Wanrong was about to explain, but there was an exclamation from the Empress Dowager, and a palace maid hurriedly shouted Concubine Shuniang!

Suddenly, the lively atmosphere of the banquet condensed, and everyone's eyes focused on Concubine Qi's seat, only to see the woman with a pale face, her eyes closed and lying on the ground in the banquet, motionless.

"What's going on?!" Xiao Jing immediately put down the wine cup, frowned, and looked at it without anger. The queen mother also seemed to be shocked, and asked the palace maid beside her sharply: "Concubine Shu just left the table fine, why did she suddenly faint?" Among the palace maids who pinched Concubine Qi Shufei with one hand, she was so anxious that she cried out: "Back to the Queen Mother, the slave maid doesn't know, the mother is a little chest tightness and dizziness, and she is afraid that the interest of the emperor and the queen mother will not let the slave and maid talk more, and somehow she fainted." ”

"Quickly pass on Imperial Doctor Zhong!" Xiao Jing ordered the old eunuch standing behind him, then left the peony and quickly got up to check the situation.

The palace maids and eunuchs of Jingyang Palace were so frightened that they had no owners for a while, and looked at the old lady beside the Queen Mother like a plea for help, and asked what to do?

The old lady's fingers shook slightly, signaled to stabilize, and then took a step forward and leaned over to the side of the queen mother, and asked in a low voice: "Queen Mother, the early spring is cold, do you want the old slave to send someone to carry Concubine Qi into Jingyang Palace to diagnose the pulse?" The Queen Mother glanced at the people around her, the old lady lowered her head and lowered her hand, her eyes seemed to have no intention of glancing at the position of the Xibo envoy, decades of master and servant getting along, the Queen Mother immediately understood the old mother's kind reminder, raised her hand, and signaled not to say more: "Everything is up to the emperor." Looking at Xiao Jing again, he didn't mean to carry Concubine Qi, so everyone had to wait for Imperial Doctor Zhong to arrive.

Several princes glanced at each other, and the eldest one took the initiative to get up and bid farewell to Xiao Jing with Concubine Qi's body as the priority.

One of them, and the others followed the crowd to say goodbye. As for the Xiber envoy, who didn't even speak from beginning to end, he was pitiful and stayed in his place, not sitting or standing.

The prince patted his ass and left, and everyone left the table one after another, but Wen Wanrong sat still, and the first thought that flashed through her mind was whether Concubine Qi was pregnant and really dizzy or had ulterior motives.

Qin Yang didn't want to and was inconvenient to participate in the affairs of the harem, so he took the initiative to ask the emperor to send the Xibo envoy away, and after getting the permission, he turned around and returned to Wen Wanrong's side and asked her if she could leave?

Wen Wanrong glanced at the palace people who were around Concubine Qi, and then at the peony who was alone and ignored, turned her head and shook her head at Qin Yang, and said softly: "When it happened suddenly, I stayed to accompany the imperial grandmother, so as not to make her old man anxious." She didn't dare to accompany Peony in public, so she could only take out the Queen Mother as a cover.

Qin Yang hesitated for a moment, glanced at the already vacant seats of Dan Ze and the Qi family, told her to her heart, and turned to leave.

Wen Wanrong looked at his back, turned around and walked to the queen mother's side, holding the silk satin sleeves of turmeric entwined branches, and comforted: "Imperial grandmother, the lady concubine Niangniang has her own appearance, don't worry, lest you be anxious and make the imperial uncle more worried." The words were for the Queen Mother, but her eyes looked at the peony intentionally or unintentionally.

Someone broke the siege, and Peony finally came back to his senses from the six gods and cast a grateful gaze. The Queen Mother didn't see the peony, she only felt that Princess Wanyi was the most sensible at the critical moment, so she couldn't help patting her sleeves and sighing: "Let's accompany the mourning family back to the palace first." Wen Wanrong lowered her eyebrows and said yes, and then glanced in the direction of the peony, and the peony immediately understood, followed up to learn Fang Cai's comfort, and said some auspicious words.

At present, the queen mother is anxious about the safety of the emperor and grandson, and when she heard the relief of the left and right sentences, her depressed mood eased a little, and she called Peony to leave together.

Not long after Wen Wanrong and Peony left the land of right and wrong, Concubine Qi Shu was sent back to Jingyang Palace. Imperial Doctor Zhong reported the results of the pulse diagnosis to Xiao Jing outside the dormitory, and prescribed a tocolytic medicine for two months.

The old eunuch beside Xiao Jing was a shrewd person, and after secretly writing it down, he asked someone to inform the Internal Affairs Office to take care of Jingyang Palace, and on the other hand, he called the aunt who came to Jingyang Palace to tell him carefully.

Now that Concubine Qi Shu is pregnant with a dragon heir, no one dares to slack off, and the aunt in charge knows her master's mind best, so in order to let the emperor accompany Concubine Qi Shu for a while, she deliberately prolonged the time for making tea.

Concubine Qi Shufei was also angry, and as soon as a cup of tea was made, the person woke up.

"Your Majesty." She called out to the man in the bright yellow dragon robe sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Awake?" Xiao Jing moved forward, held the hand on the quilt, and asked,

"What's the discomfort?" Concubine Qi Shu shook her head and smiled reluctantly: "The emperor can come to see the concubine, and the concubine feels that everything is fine." Xiao Jing didn't feel the truth of his intentions, he didn't have to be alone for a few years, even if he had a cat and dog, he also had more or less feelings, he tightened her hand, and his tone was rarely softened: "Imperial Doctor Zhong wants you to recuperate, you don't talk much, since you wake up, drink medicine first." As soon as the words fell, the palace maid brought a bowl of brown decoction.

Concubine Qi Shu's concubine drank it by herself, and just as she was about to get up, she was pressed down again, Xiao Jing personally took the medicine bowl and fed it to her mouth spoonful by spoonful.

"Emperor, the emperor ......" probably hasn't been cared for by the emperor for too long, Concubine Qi Shu drank two mouthfuls of medicine in her heart, and her eyes were red with the corners of her bright yellow sleeves, and she didn't know if she was too moved or cried for her long-term grievances.

Xiao Jing handed the medicine bowl to the palace maid, but he didn't say anything for a long time, and after a long silence, he let out a long sigh. Concubine Qi Shu thought that her crying had upset the emperor, so she quickly wiped her tears and tried to calm down: "The concubine just hasn't sat with the emperor for too long, and she is happy for a while, and she doesn't know what to do, and she asks the emperor for forgiveness." Xiao Jing didn't say a word, put her hand into the quilt, tucked the corner of the quilt again, and said as if compensating: "I know your mind, just put forward what you want." Concubine Qi pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The concubine doesn't lack anything, just ask for ......" She raised her eyes slightly, her expression became more and more cautious, for fear that he would not agree.

Xiao Jing understood: "No matter what you ask, I will agree to you." As soon as the son said a word, Qi Shu put it down with a hanging heart, pursed her lips, and her voice was almost inaudible, even the palace maids waiting on the side didn't hear it clearly, only heard the emperor's hello.

Concubine Qi Shufei achieved her goal, and she stopped pestering with great interest, and blamed herself for delaying the emperor's handling of government affairs. In fact, Xiao Jing does have important things to do, and Xibo sent envoys to pay tribute, which is intended to deepen the relationship between the two countries on the surface, but what is the purpose behind the scenes, it is by no means simple.

originally planned to use Dan Ze to deal with it by taking advantage of the banquet, but he didn't expect Concubine Qi to be born. Concubine Qi Shu was pregnant, it was reasonable for her body to be ill, and with Imperial Doctor Zhong's diagnosis, Xiao Jing did not doubt it too much, and after a few words of comfort, she got up and left, setting up the imperial study.

Inside the Imperial Study. Qi You waited for a long time with the fold, and when he heard footsteps outside the door, he was busy arranging the cuffs of his clothes in the side hall.

When the old eunuch served tea, Bi Gong reminded him respectfully: "Your Majesty, Qi You have been waiting for a long time, you can see ......" Xiao Jing opened the unfinished recital on the table, and echoed faintly

"Xuan". After a while, Qi You came in, bowed down and bowed, took out the fold in his arms, offered it with both hands, bowed his head and said clearly: "The minister has a book to play." Xiao Jing didn't raise his eyelids, and read it with a red pen: "Submit it." The old eunuch beside him hurriedly walked over and held the fold to the side of the imperial case with both hands.

Xiao Jing put down the pen, took it and glanced at it quickly, then closed it and put it down, looked at the old eunuch beside him without shock, and mentioned an unrelated topic: "Concubine Fang Cai Lan is still at the palace banquet, why haven't I seen her?" The old eunuch glanced at the missing inscription on the Huanghua rosewood tea case, and understood: "If you go back to the emperor, Concubine Fang Cailan and Princess Wanyi are worried about the queen mother's body, and the two accompanied the queen mother back to Renshou Palace, and estimated that this son was on the way with sobering soup." Xiao Jing hummed indifferently, got back to business, nodded at the notes at hand, and asked Qi You: "Is the above content really substantiated?" Qi You came prepared, and said unhurriedly: "Weichen has secretly checked, and there is more than one witness. Xiao Jing groaned slightly, and said to the old eunuch: "Chuandan Siqing." At the same time, a clever eunuch in the imperial study went straight to Renshou Palace, and happened to meet Princess Wanyi and Concubine Lan Xi who were walking together.

After the eunuch saluted again and again, he didn't breathe, and said to Peony urgently: "Concubine Niangniang, the emperor is talking to you in the imperial study, and your father-in-law has blocked the siege for you, and you are on the way to the decanting soup, you hurry up!" Concubine Qi fainted on the front foot and was sent back to Jingyang Palace by the emperor, and the emperor on the back foot went back to the imperial study to find the peony, Wen Wanrong glanced at her, and was stunned tacitly, thinking about whether Concubine Qi had something.

But the eunuch urged him tightly, and the two couldn't communicate too much, so Wen Wanrong said something innocuous and told Peony to serve the imperial uncle, and walked unhurriedly through another palace gate in the direction of the noon gate.

She carefully watched the footsteps behind her until she was no longer heard, and then she took her skirt and hurried out of the palace.

I heard Qin Yang unintentionally mention a few words about the official affairs of the Privy Council in the mansion before, and learned that the Central Plains and Xibo would fight sooner or later, although Wen Wanrong and the female stream did not understand the war, but after a series of abnormal events such as Xibo sending envoys to pay tribute and Dan Ze's plan to leave Yandu in advance, she keenly felt the deep meaning behind the emperor's delay.

I heard the Queen Mother speak the most in Renshou Palace

The six words "calm the internal worries and eliminate external troubles", why before the internal worries are released, because the country is prosperous and the people are strong, only then can we have enough strength to resist invasion or expand territory.

What is internal worry? What is an external threat? Wen Wanrong first thought of Qin Yu, who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, if he was an external trouble, Peony would enter the harem with beauty and steal military aircraft, what would she be as a person who was coerced to help the spy enter the palace?

Qin Yang knew that Qin Yu was hidden in Yandu, but what did he know and not report? What is Danze, who is about to return to China to inherit the title?

There is also the black market Lan family who secretly took the initiative to assist Peony and Qin Yu...... One thing after another, Wen Wanrong thought about it, and a thin cold sweat oozed from her forehead.

An extremely frightening thought came to mind - could it be that the emperor had already noticed something, even the Qin family?

Otherwise, how can you explain that the emperor clearly saw the clues of Ying Ge'er, but pretended not to know, and pampered the peony as always?

And the exceptional promotion of Qi You to the imperial history of the capital? The Queen Mother mentioned more than once that the emperor likes to appoint people on the basis of merit, Qi You's ability is obvious to all, if he really has the ability, he should have entered the palace as an official as early as when Qi Xian was the master of the horse, why has it been delayed until now?

Wen Wanrong didn't want to think of the worst, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but panic and escaped all the way out of the palace.

"What's going on in the palace?" Probably she was too flustered and scared, and she didn't notice when she met acquaintances, but Dan Ze grabbed her first to avoid the two from bumping into each other.

"Didn't you go back?" Wen Wanrong calmed down, saw the comer clearly, couldn't help frowning, and warned in a low voice,

"It's messy enough, are you still running to the palace?" Dan Ze didn't have time to explain too much, and said that the emperor announced that he had entered the palace, and he was about to leave and thought of something, so he turned around and called Wen Wanrong.

"What's the matter?" She asked. Dan Ze hesitated for a moment, and said, "I shouldn't have troubled you about this, but in case I am in trouble, please send Liu Yiyi to the Lan family one by one and try to leave Yandu safely." "Listening to the tone is like explaining what is going on.

Wen Wanrong looked at the man in front of her who was more than half a head taller, with a long figure and an extremely handsome face, and suddenly felt strange, Dan Ze must have been helpless and hesitant before, but now he did not hesitate at all.

For some reason, she suddenly laughed, her eyes reflected the relief from her heart, her lips were closed one by one, her voice was clear and pleasant, and she sighed: "Danze has finally grown up!" Maybe her smile was too sincere, or maybe the bond between the two would eventually be severed.

While Dan Ze understood, he looked at her blankly for a long time, and a faint sadness appeared in his eyes, which was fleeting.

"I'm tired." He bowed to her, and then strode into the palace without looking back. The breeze of the Zhonghe Festival carried the warmth of spring back to the earth, blowing through the hair of Wen Wanrong's ears and temples, sweeping to the white and tender face, gently, itchy, she raised her hand to the back of her ear, and watched the back of the purple disappear at the end of the field of vision, and then gradually closed the smile at the corner of her mouth, frowned slightly, and meditated, I must go back alive.

When he returned to the mansion, Qin Yang had not yet returned. Ying Ge'er and Sassa were mischievous and saw who pounced on whom, so they blocked Wen Wanrong in the veranda and shouted to get out.

Sassa is purely blind coaxing, what about Brother Ying'er, she parroted her tongue, and the two crisp children's voices made Wen Wanrong angry and funny, and the gloom in her heart was swept away.

"It's late tonight, I can't go out, and Daddy will come back in a while, and I'll be angry if I find out that you're not there." Sassa is not afraid of Qin Yang, Brother Ying is a little afraid, as long as he coaxes the big one, he can't make trouble.

Sure enough, Brother Ying stopped arguing and went out, but coaxed her sister: "Sasa, when Daddy comes back, he will definitely ask us to eat together, so let's go out again." As long as Sasa heard to eat, there were no superfluous thoughts, the chubby index finger was in his mouth, looked at Brother Ying'er, and then looked at Wen Wanrong, and said in a milky voice: "Mother hug." Wen Wanrong picked her up from the ground, and Sasa naturally rubbed the saliva on her fingers on her clothes, and smiled sweetly: "Mother, Sasa wants to eat sweet cakes." ”

"Aren't you tired of eating sweet cakes again?" The sweet cake in Sassa's mouth is the chestnut cake that Qin Yang brought back a few days ago, the chestnut cake is soft and glutinous, and he broke a piece and stuffed it into the child's mouth when he teased Sassa, and the result was out of control.

Qin Yang saw that the two children liked to eat, so he bought a pack and came back every other day, and after eating, he bought it again. Wen Wanrong, sooner or later, he will spoil the child, and it won't work.

When Qin Yang came back, there was only half a pack of chestnut cakes left, and Sassa and Yingge'er's mouths were covered with cake foam.

Brother Ying'er had sharp eyes, first saw a tall figure, holding half a piece of cake in his hand and running over, shouting Daddy while running, Sasa saw that he was gone, twisted his body and went to the ground, and also ran to the hall, and shouted Daddy.

The two guys pounced on him one after the other, Qin Yang groaned, hugged one in one hand, and carried the two children to the back room at the same time.

Wen Wanrong came out to greet the door, and said to the two guys: "Daddy is tired, he wants to change his clothes, you come down quickly." "Brother Ying is five years old, sensible, obedient to the ground, but Sasa is not, raising his chin, slanting round eyes, and speaking with his toes high

"Don't", turned around, gave Wen Wanrong the back of her head, lay on Qin Yang's shoulder, and continued to eat her chestnut cake comfortably.

"Sasa, if you don't come down again, my mother will be angry." Wen Wanrong found that Sassa was getting more and more bold, she could still coax it before, but now it is good to coax or scare, and the guy is soft and hard.

Brother Ying is her father's dog's leg, and she hurriedly echoed: "Come down, Daddy is tired." ”

"I don't want it." Sassy bit the chestnut cake and hugged Qin Yang's neck tightly, no one was useless. The daughter is tired of her father, and the father generally eats this set, Qin Yang is no exception, the guy has a soft body, a fat buttocks, a porcelain doll like him and Wen Wanrong, he is very cute when he is not naughty, and he accepts his fate when he is naughty.

Wen Wanrong's personality is very similar to him, especially when she is unhappy, she turns her face and doesn't recognize people, which is faster than turning a book.

Qin Yang didn't care, there is a saying, how can it come about, there must be a father and a daughter. So Sassa had to hug him, Qin Yang didn't change his clothes except for washing his hands until he finished eating with the two children.

In the end, when Sasa didn't want to hug it, the nurse left the yard with the two children. There were two adults left in the room, and it was suddenly much quieter.

Qin Yang seemed to have something to say, Wen Wanrong also had something to say, she got up and closed the door of the hall, and when she turned around, she didn't expect the other party to come out.

"What happened to you?" He sat in a rocking chair covered with cotton cushions and spoke first. Wen Wanrong sighed leisurely: "What else, Uncle Huang went to Jingyang Palace for almost an hour." Qin Yang thought to himself, didn't he have a bad relationship with Concubine Qi: "You also went to Jingyang Palace?" Wen Wanrong shook her head, and the peony was suddenly told by the emperor to go to the imperial study to serve, and later met Dan Ze before and after entering the palace, before and after, fifteen and eleven, and finally said in a weak heart: "I have a very bad premonition, I always feel that the imperial uncle seems to know something." The first time she mentioned Danze, Qin Yang didn't blow up her hair, her sword eyebrows were furrowed, she didn't make any rebuttal, and only asked after a while: "The imperial study only called Peony and Danze?" ”

"I don't know." What is Wen Wanrong,

"But Dan Ze begged me to protect Liu Yiyi, which shows that he knows that he will inevitably experience some danger when he returns to Xibo this time." At this point, she paused for a moment, raised her head, and her eyes were full of worry: "Qin Yang, I am most afraid that the imperial uncle will know the purpose of Peony's entry into the palace, and it will inevitably involve us. It's not a joke, it's not a gamble, it's not a joke, Qin Yang saw the fear in Wen Wanrong's eyes, got up and pulled her into his arms, tightened his arms and said: "If you really get to that point, it's up to you, just save yourself and Sasa's life." ”

"What about you?" Wen Wanrong stared at him nervously with a pair of dark eyes. Qin Yang patted comfortingly: "You don't have to worry about us, grandmother has a way." Wen Wanrong shook her head desperately, hugged her broad back tightly, and said hurriedly: "Don't fool me, how many years has my grandmother been away from the palace, and she walks around with the Queen Mother every summer, is it difficult for her to become an old man?" "Cat flutter Chinese
