Time passed quickly in a strange atmosphere, and in the blink of an eye, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor specially invited the courtiers, and at the same time bid farewell to the nine princesses who were about to be married.

The Zhou family also received an invitation, but the old lady on the woman's side could not attend, and no one else was allowed to attend, so Shen Xingwan had to go alone.

She especially wore the New Year's costume from Xiling, a blue colorful butterfly and flower dress, a pearl tassel hanging from her waist, and a royal blue hairpin on her head.

"Let's go." Shen Xingwan said softly, she hadn't dressed up like this for a long time.

After entering the palace, she mixed in with the wives, and first went to meet the Queen Mother, and everyone's eyes were full of gossip when they saw her.

Shen Xingwan had a cold face, looking like he was not stained with dust.

The Queen Mother was in a good mood and kept talking to several old ladies.

After sitting for a long time, the feast was about to begin. Everyone retired one after another and went to the Taichu Palace.

The Taichu Hall was brightly lit, all the female guests sat on the left, and as soon as they entered the door, the palace maids stepped forward to guide them, and Shen Xingwan's position was quite high.

She was assigned to a table with Mrs. You, who had just lost her daughter, and it was hard to say that it was not intentional.

As soon as I sat down, many people came to see it.

Mrs. You, who was still in high spirits a month ago, felt a lot haggard, and she took the initiative to speak, "Miss Seven, meet again." ”

Shen Xingwan said softly, "Madame's day is mourning." ”

The two of them said politely and didn't speak. disappointed those who wanted to watch the play.

Qi Han was still the last to arrive, and he hugged loudly.

Shen Xingwan looked at it coldly, drank the wine in the cup, the more beautiful it is now, the worse the result may be.

The banquet was lively, Qi Han's position was the head of the ministers, and he sat alone in his position without saying a word.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Everyone stood up and saluted, and the ninth princess helped the queen mother to sit on the top seat.

The ninth princess is still dressed in red today, but unfortunately there is really no joy on her face.

The emperor was the last to arrive, holding the concubine.

Zuo Guifei was dressed gracefully and luxuriously, but the most striking thing was her obviously bulging belly.

Almost everyone's eyes were focused on his belly, both openly and secretly, and many people secretly speculated whether the emperor would really let her give birth to this child.

Zuo Guifei subconsciously covered her stomach with wide sleeves, and the expression on her face was numb.

The Emperor sat down on the throne and said, "Calm down, I will have fun with you today." ”

After three glasses of wine, the emperor suddenly looked at Qi Han, "I heard that you have recently lost your concubine?" ”

Qi Han stood up and replied, "Yes." ”

The emperor smiled, "I hope you will get married as soon as possible, give birth to an heir, and marry the child in the concubine's womb in the future and be my in-laws." ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was silent.

Qi Han's face became colder and colder, "Your Majesty said with a smile." ”

"I never laugh, why is the child who came out of the concubine's belly not worthy of calling you father?" The emperor made a pun.

Qi Han's eyes could almost kill, and Concubine Zuo felt that her stomach hurt so much.

During this time, she woke up from her dreams every night and lived in fear every day.

The ninth princess was by the side of the Queen Mother, and she was almost restless.

The emperor ordered Shen Xingwan, "What does Miss Zhou think?" ”

Shen Xingwan, who was innocently victimized, smirked, "Your Majesty is right. ”

The Emperor laughed, "I believe that in the future, the regent will definitely treat the child in the concubine's belly as his own." ”

If there is such a day, I am afraid it will be the biggest scandal of the royal family.

Everyone smelled the wind and rain, and the emperor was crazy and didn't care.

In a suffocating silence, the banquet continued.

The ninth princess drank a few glasses of wine in a row, and was depressed.

Zuo Guifei's stomach hurt badly, but she didn't dare to say a word, she could only endure it, she felt a warm liquid left, and walked low to see the blood on the hem of her skirt.

The palace maid beside her also noticed that something was wrong, and knelt down with a bang, "Niangniang... There's a lot of blood..."

In the chaos, Zuo Guifei looked up and forgot to look at Qi Han, but Qi Han didn't look at her from beginning to end.

It's their child, and it's gone...

The Queen Mother immediately said, "Pass the imperial doctor and carry the person back to the side hall." ”

Zuo Guifei was quickly carried away, and a small pool of blood could be seen under her seat.

The emperor said with great regret, "I sincerely hope that this child will be born safely, but it's a pity." ”

I don't know what the ministers think, but the eyes of many girls looking at Qi Han have changed.

Shen Xingwan only felt that this winter night was getting colder and colder, and another life became a victim of this political struggle.

Something so big happened, of course, the banquet couldn't continue.

Before the emperor left, he specially asked Qi Han, "Isn't Aiqing going to see the concubine, after all, the child is gone?" ”

Qi Han turned around and left directly, not giving the emperor face at all.

The emperor looked at his back and smiled brighter and brighter.

The group sat outside the hall waiting for the news, and the concubine was heart-rending inside, and the scalps of the people who listened to it were numb.

About half an hour later, the imperial doctor trembled and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang's child has not been saved." ”

The expected ending, the emperor didn't react much, and when the inside was cleaned up, he didn't shy away from walking in.

The strong smell of blood was disgusting, and the concubine lay on the bed and was dying.

The Emperor looked at her and said slowly, "I really hope that this child will be born, and it is much more interesting to be born than to die. ”

Zuo Guifei closed her eyes and told herself that this child was also guilty when she came to the world, and it was better to go.

The emperor was not ready to let her go, and smiled nervously, "If this child can die in the hands of his father, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death, concubine, are you right?" ”

Zuo Guifei's eyes widened instantly, revealing an unbelievable look.

The emperor said softly, "Concubine, who do you think wants this child to die the most now, and who is the most unfavorable for this child to be born." ”

Zuo Guifei grabbed the quilt under her and bit her lip without speaking.

The Emperor went out of the room and stood for a while.

Sure enough, the room erupted in painful cries, and the emperor hooked the corners of his mouth, and this was just the beginning.

The Ninth Princess's whole body was trembling, and her face was pale and scary, "Brother Huang, are you telling the truth?" ”

"There's no need for me to lie about this..."

The ninth princess covered her mouth and ran away, unable to accept that Qi Han had killed her child.

Overnight, rumors of a banquet and murder in the Regent's palace spread all over the streets and alleys, and his reputation among the people has almost fallen to the bottom.

After Bai Ling told her about the rumors outside, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it true?" ”

Shen Xingwan said, "It's not important, the important thing is that the emperor is estimated to be ready to die and the net is broken." ”

She estimated that the temporary calm would only last until the ninth princess got married.

When the ninth princess gets married, the emperor's last move is over, and it is time to tear his face.

"Miss, what are you going to do?" Bai Ling asked.

"Watch the play, and run away." Shen Xing said late.

Of course, they are united with the emperor, and it is best to trample Qi Han to death by the way.
