Chapter 424: Vigilance
Yuehua has gradually sorted out her suspicions about Concubine Ling, and next, she needs to peel back the cocoon and find conclusive evidence to confirm her guesses.
This matter is not trivial and must be kept secret, so she has to take matters into her own hands and find out the news herself.
Two days later, Shui You Fang found a suitable excuse to cover the people in the Jiaofang Palace to come to Qingqiu Palace.
Yuehua got straight to the point and asked her: "When Concubine Ling practiced the Red Rui Dance, did she often summon the imperial physician Shi Yunhai to the Jiaofang Palace?" ”
The palace maid nodded: "Hui Niangniang, it is true." ”
"Every time Shi Yunhai goes to the Jiaofang Palace, how long does it take to delay?"
Gong Wan thought for a while: "At that time, I heard Hancui say that taking the Slippery Muscle Pill requires massage and acupuncture, so Imperial Doctor Shi has to delay for nearly an hour every time. ”
"And every time he comes, who is waiting for him?"
The palace maid shook her head: "Every time Concubine Ling Niangniang will support us, only Hancui is guarding by her side." ”
Yuehua sighed slightly: "Hancui and you are acquainted?" ”
The palace maid shook her head again: "Han Cui is the palace maid sent into the palace by the Shen family, as soon as she enters the palace, she feels a head taller than us, she is arrogant on weekdays, and she often relies on the support of Concubine Ling to call us around, so there are few people in the palace who are intimate with her." ”
Yuehua sighed: "Then you looked at Hancui during that time, but what was abnormal?" ”
The palace maid frowned and thought for a long time, before she shook her head suspiciously: "During that time, Concubine Ling often rewarded her with some jewelry, she wore it to show off, and there seemed to be nothing else." ”
"Is she moving closely with Shi Yunhai?"
"In front of us, we are all one-eyed, very regular, and it's hard to say behind our backs."
"Behind the scenes? Does Hancui have the opportunity to contact Shi Yunhai alone on weekdays? Yuehua asked again.
The palace maid shook her head categorically: "Hancui is a close servant of the concubine, and she is inseparable from the dispatch. On weekdays, my legs and feet are lazy, and I take a shelf, and if I have any errands, I move my mouth at most and instruct us to do it. In fact, we all wondered, she had not been in the palace for a long time, how did she get on with Imperial Doctor Shi? ”
Gong Wan's words once again confirmed Yuehua's guess. Yuehua saw that she couldn't ask anything, so she asked her back.
At night, Mo Guhan stayed at the Queen Mother's place for dinner, and Yuehua thought that he might stay directly in the Qianqing Palace and would not come, so he coaxed the child to rest early.
Now the palace people who are on duty for the night have been arranged in the dormitory, and the nurse will stay in the side hall on the side, and she will toss up several times a night.
Yuehua insisted on leaving the two children in her dormitory, even if sometimes the children were naughty and always woke up frequently, she had to get up to change diapers, hug and coax, and was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.
So, she went to bed early at night.
Normally, Mo Guhan would not be allowed to stay overnight, worried that he would not rest well.
Mo Guhan came to Qingqiu Palace, knowing that she was resting and didn't want to disturb, but he couldn't help but want to see the child, so he retreated left and right, and quietly walked to the bed tent, wanting to take a peek.
Who knows, as soon as his hand was put on the bed tent, Yuehua, who was already asleep, was startled, and his hand was like lightning, and he beckoned directly to his front door.
Mo Guhan was startled, took two steps back, and grabbed her hand in the palm of his hand: "Yuehua, it's me." ”
Yuehua slept soundly, and woke up in an instant, without a little daze when she first woke up. Hearing Mo Guhan's voice, Fang Cai breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm scared to death, how can you walk without even making a sound?" ”
She slept so vigilantly, it was obvious how much vigilance she had to have, and she always tightened the string in her heart, and she didn't dare to relax for a moment.
Mo Guhan sat on the edge of the bed, a little distressed: "I know that you are hard, so I want to take a sneak peek at you, for fear of disturbing your rest." In fact, I have repeatedly strengthened my defenses in this palace, and there are also secret guards in the Qingqiu Palace, so you don't have to be so scared, and you don't even want to relax when you rest. ”
Yuehua sat down on the bed: "Does the emperor think that the concubine is making a fuss?" ”
Mo Guhan was still holding her hand, with a sad expression: "I'm just thinking about when these two little guys will not dominate you?" Give you back to me. ”
Yuehua pursed her lips and smiled: "Tan Ruo has already said that the child will be stronger in two months, so there is no need to worry about it like this." ”
"Then can you hand it over to the nurse to bring it then?"
Yuehua paused slightly: "It may take some time, and the concubine is not too relieved." ”
Mo Guhan also sighed lowly: "Originally, it should be my responsibility to protect my wife and children. After you are a country, you don't even have this most basic sense of security. ”
Yuehua shook her head: "As long as the emperor is by her side, the concubine doesn't have to be afraid of anything." But if you are not in front of you, the concubine will naturally have to take on this responsibility. ”
Mo Guhan stood up and untied his clothes: "Then I will stay in the Qingqiu Palace today and will not return to the Qianqing Palace." ”
The bed was spacious, and Yuehua moved it into the bed again: "I'm just afraid that the child will wake up many times at night, and the emperor will not rest well." ”
"It's okay," Mo Guhan lay down beside Yuehua: "Let me taste this hard taste, only then can I know how difficult it is for you, and I empathize." ”
Yuehua turned over gently, hugged Mo Guhan, sniffed the familiar smell on his body, and suddenly felt at ease.
Mo Guhan stretched out his arm, took her into his arms, and then gently rubbed her shoulder: "Are you secretly investigating the matter of Concubine Ling?" ”
Yuehua raised her head suddenly: "How does the emperor know?" ”
"At dinner today, the Queen Mother mentioned it to me."
Yuehua was silent for a while, knowing that it must have been Concubine Ling who cried in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother wanted to support her.
"Isn't it difficult for the emperor?"
Mo Guhan chuckled: "What's so difficult about me? I just want to remind you that you have to be careful in everything and try not to clash head-on with Concubine Ling. The rest, of course, is carried by me. ”
Yuehua nodded in his arms: "The last time Shi Yunhai's wife entered the palace, I was heard by Concubine Ling when I was talking to her, and she was a little annoyed and angry. ”
"Concubine Ling also talked to me, she said that you deliberately instigated Shi Yunhai's wife to slander her."
Is this the wicked suing first? If he really heard any clues from Shi Yunhai's wife, and any evidence that was unfavorable to Concubine Ling, saying it would confirm her words, and no one would believe it.
Yuehua blinked: "Shen Xincai used his children to blackmail Shi Yunhai's wife when I left Shi Yunhai's house on the front foot. Now that she has seen me, it is like seeing a flood beast, can I talk more? ”
"Threatened?"
Yuehua nodded: "Let Shi Yunhai's wife stop talking nonsense." ”
Mo Guhan was silent and didn't speak, Yuehua's implication was already obvious, that is, Shi Yunhai must have mastered the Shen family's secrets. Concubine Ling was afraid that Yuehua would get to the bottom of it, so she asked the Queen Mother to come forward and want to stop Yuehua from continuing to investigate.
Mo Guhan knew that Yuehua was not a person who could not be ignored, Concubine Ling harmed her three times and twice, in order not to let herself be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma, she took the initiative to take a step back, and the big things turned into small things, and the small things turned into small things.
But this time the assassin incident endangered the child and really angered her. Moreover, the Shen family doesn't know how to accept it when it is good, and they also want to beat it upside down, inciting the ministers to provoke in the court, and no one will give up easily.
Yuehua has always been indebted to the forbearance of Concubine Ling and the Queen Mother, and she is very guilty of suffering many times. In his heart, he was even more looking forward to being able to get justice for her in person, so when he was in the Ruian Palace, the Queen Mother Xingshi asked for guilt, but he didn't give a good face.
Mo Guhan reached out and stroked Yuehua's long satin-like hair, lowered his head and kissed her forehead like a dragonfly. Now Yuehua's body has a faint smell of sweet milk, which smells very good.
"I've wronged you."
Yuehua's jade arm climbed up and hugged his waist: "How can you say that?" The concubine was not aggrieved at all. On the contrary, the emperor has every opportunity, so hard, and he has to think about the concubine all the time, which makes the concubine feel ashamed. Originally, many chores in this harem, the concubine should be taken care of in an orderly manner, so that you can return to the harem after a tiring day and enjoy peace and tranquility. It's a pity that the concubine can't do anything. ”
Mo Guhan suddenly blocked her mouth: "Needless to say, these are not your fault, I know it in my heart." ”
Yuehua's arms tightened.
Mo Guhan leaned down and pecked her slightly frowning eyebrows, the bridge of her nose, her lips, and her thick palms gradually became hot.
"I miss you so much."
Yuehua gently pushed him shyly, and shrank back: "Your Majesty, it's not time to ...... yet."
"I feel as if I have been beaten into the cold palace now, only grudges remain, I don't know when I will be able to get out?"
"......"
"Wow!" A crisp and domineering cry sounded behind Yuehua.
Mo Guhan raised his body helplessly, frowning and glancing at the little guy who was dancing in protest.
"As soon as I heard this voice, I knew it must be a ferry."
Yuehua had already turned over and got up, forgetting the charm of the right talent in the back of her mind, and picked her up: "Be good, don't cry, be careful to quarrel with my brother." ”
Xiao Rui'er waved her fist twice, and then obediently quieted down.
Yuehua frowned helplessly: "Rui'er is too naughty, and she doesn't sleep at night, and she always quarrels with her brother." ”
As soon as the words fell, Hui'er, who was sleeping soundly, frowned impatiently, pursed her lips, and began to twist her body.
Yuehua already knew at a glance: "It may be that the urine is uncomfortable, otherwise he rarely makes a fuss." ”
Mo Guhan sat up: "I'll take a look." ”
Yuehua pursed her lips and smiled: "Will you?" Why don't I call Shui Yu in? ”
"I can be handy in governing the huge country, just change a diaper, how can I not do it?"
He clumsily unwrapped the thin coverer, and the child was wearing open crotch pants, and stretched out two fingers to carefully open the diaper. In an instant, a column of water rose into the sky.
Because the tent was blocked, the lights outside were extremely dim, and the light was not good, so Mo Guhan had to get closer to see. The hot boy's urine was not wasted at all, it was all sprinkled on his face.
Mo Guhan was stunned in an instant, and Yuehua was also stunned, watching the little Ding Ding warp again, squeezing out the last two drops, before he was unwilling to be honest.
