The person who died in the frost palace was actually Mei Yun.

Shen Che instructed Gonggong Yu to send Yao Shuang out of the palace after disguise, and then sent someone to go to the Shuanghua Palace to watch in person, and as soon as Mei Yun died, he covered her with a white cloth and carried her out.

No one saw the face under the white cloth, and naturally no one knew that the king of the Yi Palace personally directed this plan to get rid of the golden cicada.

It is already the spring season of March, the weather is gradually becoming warmer, and the heavy winter clothes on the people in the palace have also been taken off and replaced with suitable spring clothes.

Everyone seemed to have their own things, and the entire Yiwang Palace suddenly fell silent, and the silence seemed a little weird.

The word Yao Shuang has gradually become the name in the mouths of the palace maids, and it has become a ray of tranquility in the hustle and bustle, and it can't be exchanged for a word after all. And Mrs. Han has a big belly of seven or eight months, and she is waiting for delivery in Suochuntai with peace of mind.

Jiang Yi closed the door and concentrated on copying the female precepts punished by the Queen Mother; Lu Yingquan is still a favorite every night, and the limelight is unmatched.

In the blink of an eye, it's April.

Yiguo, located in the south, is already very warm, the warm spring breeze blows, and the imperial garden of Yiwang Palace is in this spring breeze ten miles, becoming full of flowers, splendid and unparalleled.

In Yijing Palace, Jiang Yi sat on the side of the desk, holding a slightly hot teacup in his hand, slightly distracted, even if the teacup was tilted and the water inside spilled, he didn't realize it.

Que'er cautiously walked in from the outside, and turned around to look around, making sure that no one was nearby, then closed the door, walked to Jiang Yi's side, and spoke softly:

"Madame, the slave has returned. ”

This opening woke up Jiang Yi in contemplation, she raised her head suddenly, but forgot that she was still holding a teacup in her hand, and the water spilled out again, splashing on her hand, a piercing heat.

But Jiang Yi didn't care so much, and directly put the teacup on the table next to her, but her hand where she put the teacup trembled slightly.

"But have you inquired about everything?" Jiang Yi looked at the finch and asked, even with a hint of imperceptible nervousness in her voice.

Que'er swallowed her saliva, nodded, and said, "It's all inquired, the people we arranged in Suochuntai have been staring at it in the past, just waiting for the day when Mrs. Han will give birth." ”

"Very well, you have to keep an eye on me, this time the stakes are very high, whether you can succeed in this move or not, there is no room for mistakes. Jiang Yi commanded in a cold voice, "The position of Queen Yi can only be mine, and I will never allow anyone to be above me." ”

"Please rest assured, Madame, the slave will definitely help Madame achieve her wishes. The finch said categorically, her tone full of determination.

She is Jiang Yi's dowry maid, and she has always been by Jiang Yi's side, she knows deeply that only if Jiang Yi's life in the palace is better, her own status can also rise, otherwise she will be looked down upon by the group of people in the palace who praise the high and step on the low.

Therefore, as long as Jiang Yi wants to do something, she will not hesitate to implement it.

At the same time, Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao also followed Shen Che on the way to the barren mountain. Even though these days, the Yiwang Palace has changed several times and changed rapidly, but every month to go to the barren mountain, it still has not stopped.

What they didn't know was that in the few days since they left the palace, a conspiracy was quietly emerging.

In the two days in the barren mountain, during the day, Shen Che and Gu Qingming discussed the progress of the training and the plan to send troops, and at night, the four of them sat around the fireplace, drinking and talking.

After staying in the barren mountain for two days, Shen Che set off to return to the capital, and Yun Yao and Gu Qingming separated again after this short reunion. This kind of situation has long been commonplace, although they are a little sad, but they all know in their hearts that this time the difference is for the next time to meet better.

The team returning to Beijing arrived at the gate of the palace, and as soon as everyone got off the carriage, they saw Aunt Wushuang hurriedly catching up, and said to Shen Che: "Your Highness, Mrs. Han's amniotic water has broken and she is about to give birth, and the Queen Mother expects that Her Royal Highness will arrive at the palace at this time, and the special slave maid will come to pay respect!"

"Going to give birth?" When Shen Che heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Lu Yingquan, and his heart seemed to be a little complicated.

"Your Highness, Mrs. Han's delivery is a big event, Your Highness, go and take a look. Lu Yingquan said empathetically, and this remark also made Aunt Wushuang nod slightly, as if she was appreciative.

"Then the king won't send you back to Linglong Pavilion, you will have a good rest after you go back, and the journey is also hard. Shen Che seemed to be very grateful for Lu Yingquan's behavior, so he held her hand and said so.

Lu Yingquan smiled and nodded, blessed his body, and walked towards Linglong Pavilion with Yun Yao. And the moment she turned around, the smile on her face disappeared, and the only remaining curvature at the corner of her mouth became a little bitter.

Yun Yao can probably understand this mood. Although since ancient times, the emperor's harem has always been three palaces and six courts, and there are many concubines, as one of them, you must be prepared to share a husband with others. But now that I hear other women giving birth to children for their husbands, the bitterness in my heart is indescribable.

But what can it be? It's just fate.

Back at Linglong Pavilion, Lu Yingquan was a little uneasy, and his heart kept pounding, as if something was going to happen.

"Drink some tea and press it, I see that your face is not very good, are you still thinking about Mrs. Han?" Yun Yao poured a cup of hot tea, handed it to Lu Yingquan, and asked.

"I don't know. Lu Yingquan shook his head, as if he had an indescribable feeling, "Yun Yao, let's go to Suochuntai to have a look, I always feel that something will happen." ”

Yun Yao opened her mouth, in fact, she really wanted to tell Yingquan that it was not a wise choice to go to Suochuntai now. Because it is very dangerous for a woman to give birth to a child, in case the situation is chaotic and something goes wrong, I am afraid it is impossible to say.

But after thinking about it, the Empress Dowager Jiang is very important to this child, so Mrs. Han must have someone from the Empress Dowager to take care of, and Lu Yingquan just went to take a look, so there shouldn't be any problems.

"Okay, I'll go with you. Yun Yao nodded, said, and then helped Lu Yingquan to walk outside.

Suochun Taili was really in chaos, although Empress Dowager Jiang had already prepared an experienced Wen Po, as well as a doctor who specialized in this area, but the incident happened suddenly, and she was still a little in a hurry.

However, under the guidance of Aunt Wushuang, everyone gradually became organized.

The Queen Mother and Shen Che sat in the side hall, waiting quietly, looking at the expression, the Queen Mother's face looked a little anxious, because Mrs. Han had been in pain for a while.

"Mrs. Jiang has arrived, Lu Meiren has arrived-"

Suddenly, there was a sound of an announcement outside, which woke up the Queen Mother's thoughts. looked up at the door, but saw that Jiang Yi and Lu Yingquan had come in together.

The two walked in front of the Queen Mother and Shen Che, saluted, and after getting up, they sat aside and waited silently.

"Why did you two come together?" the Queen Mother looked at Jiang Yi and asked, a trace of puzzlement flashed on her face.

After all, the Queen Mother has not forgotten that Jiang Yi and Lu Yingquan have never been on the right track, even in normal times, they have never even said a polite word, and it is unusual to come over together today.

"Empress Dowager Qi, Mrs. Han is His Royal Highness's first child in her belly, and we haven't had such a big happy event in the palace for a long time. Presumably, Sister Lu, like the concubine, came to pray for Mrs. Han, hoping that she could give birth to this child smoothly. Jiang Yi said, her words were very knowledgeable, so that the Queen Mother couldn't help but nod her head, very satisfied.

"Mrs. Han is blessed by the destiny of heaven and will definitely give birth to a child safely. Lu Yingquan also said.

On this occasion, auspicious words are the most pleasing, especially in front of the Queen Mother, since Jiang Yi guessed the Queen Mother's mind and did what she liked, Lu Yingquan naturally wanted to follow along.

After some greetings, the hall fell silent again, and Mrs. Han's voice was still ringing in her ears, lingering, making people's hearts tug and unable to calm down for a long time.

At this time, a mother-in-law suddenly came out next to her, knelt in front of the Queen Mother, and said: "Empress Dowager Qi, Mrs. Han seems to have some difficult birth, the amniotic water has been broken for a long time, but the child has not yet been born." Seeing that Mrs. Han's strength is about to run out, if she continues to delay like this, the child will probably suffocate to death in her mother's womb!"

"What?" the Queen Mother was shocked, "You guys claim to be the most experienced, what do you eat?"

"Queen Mother, the slaves and maids have done their best. I don't know if there is a doctor girl in the palace, so let's ask a doctor girl to come in and help!" the woman spoke again, "Although the imperial doctor is a good doctor, he is a man after all, and it is not very convenient, if it is ......"

"Where is the medicine lady from the palace?" the Queen Mother slapped the table and said, "What you did in the past, how do you do it now." If something goes wrong, don't blame the mourners for being polite!"

"The queen mother, the concubines heard that giving birth to a child is extremely dangerous, and they can't complain about these mothers-in-law. Jiang Yi spoke at this time, "Although there is no medical girl in the palace, isn't Yun Yao, who is beside Lu Meiren, proficient in medical skills?

When Jiang Yi said this, her eyes looked at Yun Yao, calm, as if she was really asking Yun Yao for Mrs. Han.

Lu Yingquan's heart suddenly became nervous, this feeling was exactly the same as when she was in Linglong Pavilion before, this panic and uneasiness seemed to be because of Jiang Yi's words.

At the same time, Yun Yao was also thinking, and the electric light and flint in her mind collided with each other.

Why did this woman suddenly want to find a doctor? Why did Jiang Yi suddenly mention her? Is Mrs. Han really dangerous, or is all this just a conspiracy by Jiang Yi?

Human life is at stake, if she has the ability to help Mrs. Han, she will naturally not refuse, but if she enters the palace this time and helps Mrs. Han give birth, will she fall into someone else's trap?

And just when Yun Yao was immersed in her thoughts, the Queen Mother spoke: "Yes, Yun Yao's medical skills have been seen by the mourning family, since this is the case, then let Yun Yao go in and help Mrs. Han give birth to the imperial heir smoothly." ”

Yun Yao was shocked, but she didn't know how to refuse, so she could only agree: "The slave obeys the order." ”
