Even Lu Yingquan himself looked at Yun Yao with a surprised face, looking dazed and at a loss, and even wondered in his heart, when did she have a child in her belly? Could it be that Yun Yao could even tell such a lie in order to save the lives of the two?

"What did you say?" Empress Dowager Jiang interrupted Lu Yingquan's thoughts and asked Yun Yao, "You just said it...... The child in Mrs. Lu's womb?"

"The Empress Dowager Qi, that's exactly the case. Yun Yao's expression did not change, "Mrs. Lu has been pregnant for more than a month, and the slave maid has not had time to tell Mrs. Lu, originally thinking that after Mrs. Lu's fetus is stable, she will tell the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen today." ”

"Yun Yao, do you think you are a person, and what you say is what you say? Mrs. Lu is pregnant, why didn't you say it earlier, just wait until now? I really suspect that you deliberately used the pregnancy to confuse the public and escape punishment. Jiang Yi was unwilling and asked.

Yun Yao saw that Empress Dowager Jiang's face also showed a look of doubt, so she explained lightly: "Empress Dowager, there is a reason why the slave maid didn't say it clearly. Does the Empress Dowager still remember the former Wei Liangren? Mrs. Lu was also pregnant before, but it was destroyed in the hands of Wei Liangren, and the slave was afraid that after the news of Mrs. Lu's pregnancy spread, she would be remembered by some villains. ”

This is very pertinent, and there are only two concubines left in the entire Yiwang Palace, Lu Yingquan and Jiang Yi, so it goes without saying who this "villain" refers to.

Jiang Yi's face was extremely ugly, but she was still unwilling for Lu Yingquan to escape because of the child in her womb, so she spoke again: "Queen Mother, in order to prevent someone from deliberately exonerating the crime and fabricating facts, let Imperial Doctor Fu diagnose Mrs. Lu's pulse." ”

"Yes, although Imperial Physician Fu is not like Imperial Physician Ye, he is a golden holy hand, but Ximai can still be diagnosed. The Queen Mother nodded, and then instructed Imperial Physician Fu to diagnose Lu Yingquan's pulse.

Imperial Physician Fu received the order, and then married a handkerchief and put it on Lu Yingquan's wrist and began to diagnose the pulse. After a long time, he said with certainty: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, Your Royal Highness, Mrs. Lu is indeed pregnant, and she has been pregnant for more than a month. ”

Listening to the words of the imperial doctor, Jiang Yi was a little angry, she wanted to say something more, but because Lu Yingquan's pregnancy came suddenly, she didn't think of any good way for a while, so she didn't know what to say.

At this time, Lu Yingquan was very nervous, because she heard Yun Yao mention Wei Liangren's matter. But she clearly remembered that Wei Liangren asked Mangosteen to give her a soup to avoid children, causing her to be pregnant, and Shen Che knew about it. Now that Shen Che is no longer protecting her, it is hard to guarantee that he will not expose this matter in front of the Queen Mother.

When the time comes, what awaits her is likely to be punished for several crimes, and she will never be able to escape again.

But what surprised her was that Shen Che did not debunk it, but said: "Queen Mother, Lu Yingquan is pregnant, which should have been a happy event. I just lost a child and got another child, maybe that's what God is compensating me for. Although Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao still have sins on their shoulders, God has the virtue of a good life, and the child is innocent after all, can you ask the queen mother to let them live, and it is not too late to make plans when the child is born?"

The issue of heirs has always been the concern of the Queen Mother, and now that Shen Yan is dead, the child in Lu Yingquan's belly has become the weakness of the Queen Mother. Coupled with Shen Yan's death, the Queen Mother was indeed very heartbroken, so Shen Che's words just spoke of the Queen Mother's thoughts.

I saw that the Queen Mother nodded and said: "What you said is right, God has the virtue of a good life, since this is the case, then let Lu Yingquan have a way to live." But Yun Yao's guilt cannot be pardoned, and how to punish it. ”

"Queen Mother, Yun Yao knows how to heal, Yingquan happens to be pregnant, and with such a reliable person to take care of her, the child in her belly can be safer. Shen Che said, "Erchen thinks that Yun Yao can't give death. ”

"Your Highness, is it true that the two lives of Mrs. Han and Yan'er are just settled? What did their master and servant do, doesn't His Highness still know? Just because Lu Yingquan is pregnant with a child, can he escape responsibility?" Jiang Yi asked, "If everyone is like this, wouldn't the entire Yiguo be in chaos?"

"The king didn't say he would let them go. Shen Che was very displeased with Jiang Yi's fingers, but he remained silent and said, "The death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, so I will drive them out of the Yiwang Palace, move into the Temple of Mercy and Grace to live and worship the Buddha, raise the fetus with peace of mind, and wait for the child to be born, and then take the child back." ”

Empress Dowager Jiang and Jiang Yi listened to Shen Che's words, glanced at each other, and immediately felt that this move was feasible.

After all, Shen Che only said to bring the child back, not to bring Lu Yingquan back. What's more, the Temple of Mercy and Grace is located on the outskirts of the mountain, very remote, and not as heavily guarded as the palace, and it is much easier to do something in the Temple of Mercy and Grace than in the palace.

Jiang Yi also has her own plans, if Lu Yingquan continues to live in the palace, if the child is gone one day, it will be easy to point the finger at her. But if Lu Yingquan lives outside, she will have 10,000 reasons to clear her suspicions.

"I don't know what the queen mother thinks?" Shen Che saw that no one else spoke again, so he turned his head and asked the queen mother.

The Queen Mother nodded and said: "That's fine, let her go to the quiet place of Buddhism, copy the scriptures and recite the Buddha to Yan'er, who died innocently, in order to wash away her sins." By the way, I also gave her the unborn child in her belly some virtue. ”

"Since the queen mother has no opinion, then do so. Shen Che immediately ordered, "Someone come, bring Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao back to Linglong Pavilion, pack up, and send a carriage to Ci'en Temple early tomorrow morning, there must be no mistake." ”

"The minions obeyed. Father-in-law Yu shook off the dust in his hand behind him and bowed down to bear it.

Soon, someone came in and took Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao out and brought them back to Linglong Pavilion. was originally a good full moon banquet, but because of Shen Yan's death, it became a funeral banquet.

The civil and military officials were all saddened by the death of the little prince, and heard some rumors from the palace, and they had a lot of complaints about Lu Yingquan in their hearts, and they always felt that it was because of Lu Yingquan's existence that the palace would be restless.

Empress Dowager Jiang ordered a funeral for Shen Yan, and Shen Che only felt very tired, and his eyes were full of heartache, as if someone he had always believed in and cared about suddenly betrayed him.

And his expression, which Jiang Yi saw in his eyes, also made Jiang Yi really believe that Lu Yingquan was punished, so he was driven to the Temple of Mercy and Grace by Shen Che.

When Shen Che left, Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but in the next second, she met the Queen Mother's slightly angry gaze.

"Yi'er, this is the last time the mourning family will indulge you. The Queen Mother said in a deep voice, "This time, it is at the cost of the life of the grandson of the mourning family, and you have to go by yourself in the future." The mourning family can help you for a while, but can't help you for a lifetime, Che'er is destined to have countless women around her, even if there is no Lu Yingquan, there will be others. You have to learn how to do the math yourself. ”

"Yes, Queen Mother, Yi'er knows. Jiang Yi nodded and said, "Yi'er will definitely plan carefully in the future, and will not live up to the Queen Mother's trust and cultivation of Yi'er." ”

"Yan'er is in your hands after all, and his funeral will be left to you, which you owe to their mother and son. The Queen Mother said, "When this debt is repaid, let's go the way forward." ”

After saying this, the Queen Mother turned around and left, leaving only Jiang Yi and Qi'er in the palace, as well as the nurse who was already stunned, and Shen Yan, who had no breath.

When the Queen Mother left the palace, Jiang Yi suddenly turned around, looked at the nurse, a hideous smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and slowly approached the nurse, saying: "Did you hear something you shouldn't hear? Know a secret that you shouldn't know? Have you ever known what will happen to a person like you?"

"Husband...... Madam, the slave has not heard anything, she does not know anything!" said the nurse with fear in her heart.

She didn't expect that she was unintentionally involved in such a matter, her seemingly fair and just words made Mrs. Lu lose power for a while, but she also became Mrs. Jiang's outcast.

"Do you think I believe it? Only the dead know nothing. Jiang Yi said, then quickly pulled off the silver hairpin on the nurse's head, stabbed it hard, stabbed the nurse's neck, and blood spurted out and sprinkled on her body, "The nurse feels guilty because of the death of the little prince, and now she has committed suicide!"

justifiably planted a crime on the nurse, and in the nurse's dead eyes, Jiang Yi's smile became more and more ruthless.

In the future, the Queen Mother will not help her anymore, so she can only rely on herself, and no one who knows her secrets can stay, because she can't leave these hidden dangers in the world.

No one knew what was going on in this side hall, why a good full moon banquet had become like this in an instant.

Everyone only knows that since entering the Yiwang Palace, the stunning beauty Lu Yingquan, who has been dominating the king's favor, completely lost the king's favor on this night, and even left the palace to live in the cold and lonely Temple of Mercy and Grace.

And the legend about Mrs. Lu in Yiwang's palace has also shifted from the open to the secret. No one dared to discuss it openly, because the current Yiwang Palace is unique, and Madame Jiang doesn't like to hear anything related to Lu Yingquan.

In the Linglong Pavilion, Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan began to pack up their things.

Lu Yingquan looked at Yun Yao's busy back, full of questions and wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to start. She thought of the change in Shen Che's attitude before and after, as well as the sudden child in her belly, and always felt that all this was so incredible.

"I know what you want to ask, pack your things first, and when you get to the Temple of Mercy and Grace, I'll tell you everything. Yun Yao said, "Yingquan, what you need to do most now is to calmly prepare for the fetus, and don't think about anything else." ”

Listening to Yun Yao's words, Lu Yingquan subconsciously covered his stomach, frowned slightly, and then muttered: "Here...... I always thought that I had no chance to have an heir, and for more than a year, there was still no movement, but who would have thought that he would come unknowingly and be caught off guard. ”
