Ruyue came in with a medical book, bouncing and very cheerful.

"Sister Shen, there is a pharmacology that I don't understand, you can help me take a look."

"Why did you remember to ask me?" Shen Youqiu touched her head and took the book again.

At this moment, she suddenly noticed that the child seemed to have grown much taller.

"Master said, I can ask Sister Shen about this question."

"Really?"

Shen Youqiu's eyes fell on the book, but he found that it was the question that the two of them had discussed.

Her uncle is really lazy.

At this time, Qi Jingxing was reporting the situation in the palace, and he went for half a month to catch all the robbers, but he did not recover the iron ore, which was really not a good completion.

Therefore, the emperor reprimanded him, and then ordered him to keep an eye on the various iron ore trades and the flow of iron ore, and then secretly inform him. new

Qi Jingxing naturally took over the task.

And after he left, the emperor lost the atmosphere of the Ninety-Five, like a dying old beast, slumped on the dragon chair.

"This iron is really a strange thing!"

He smiled to himself and sighed, and muttered, "Even if I advance the iron tool, I will not be without merit in the history books in the future, but the baby is too bright, I'm afraid it will lead to other disasters, cough-"

At this point, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Come on, drive to the Sycamore Palace!"

He raised his hand, and soon, an attendant came in to help him leave the imperial study, and took a sedan chair to the Wutong Hall of the Yuan Concubine.

In the shadows, a little eunuch saw this scene and immediately turned away.

In the Yufang Palace, Concubine Xiao was asking people to help her slowly trim her nails, and after learning that the emperor had gone to the Wutong Hall again, the expression on her face suddenly became much colder, and then a hint of mockery appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Just go."

She looked at her blood-red nails, her gaze like a venomous snake.

"That *** has no children yet, what if the emperor favors her now, the final outcome is just a funeral, so what's the point? Huh."

As she spoke, she touched her face and sighed; "Such a good face is wasted."

As she was talking, the maid outside the door quickly ran over and whispered something in her ear, her eyes immediately lit up, and then she waved her hand and said to a few maids who were waiting: "Okay, the palace is lacking, you all go down, you don't have to wait here."

A few maids immediately left quickly.

The lights on the periphery of the Yufang Hall gradually went out a lot, as if the earth had entered a dream, but at this moment, a figure was quickly approaching the inner hall with the inner attendant.

There was a creak, and the door opened.

Concubine Xiao was dressed in a light veil, and she turned her head in surprise, with a strong sense of spring between her eyebrows and eyes.

"Emperor!" She murmured softly.

"I've seen my mother." The eldest prince stepped forward, and although he said respectful words, his expression was full of frivolity and spring.

"The mother looks so beautiful tonight."

He laughed, then stepped forward and hugged the affectionate Concubine Xiao into his arms, then hugged her and slowly walked into the pink curtain.

After a while, some blushing voices sounded inside.

Outside the inner sanctum, a maid stood guard at the door, accustomed to all the movements inside the door.

Although the two are mother and son in name, they have been quietly hooking up together three months ago.

As for the emperor, he rarely comes here.

In the Wutong Palace, Concubine Yuan was gently rubbing the temples for the emperor.

"Your Majesty, do you still have a headache?" She asked softly.

"My head doesn't hurt anymore." The Emperor smiled, put her hand in his hand and touched it, sighed, and said softly, "I'm afraid that time is running out."

"Your Majesty!"

Concubine Yuan was shocked

lost color, hurriedly climbed off the bed, and then knelt on the ground, looking at him with teary eyes, "Your Majesty, how can you say that, your head is clearly cured, and you will definitely live a long life in the future, how can you——"

"Alright, get up."

He looked at Concubine Yuan and stretched out his hand to help her, but Concubine Yuan hurriedly got up by herself, snuggled up to him, held his hand again, frowned and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't say this kind of thing again, you are like this, what can I do?"

"yes, what are you going to do?"

The Emperor touched her face, but his gaze seemed to look elsewhere through it.

"You don't have any children now, and you don't have a strong maternal support, if I am gone, you will have no way out, and I am afraid that you will be bullied in the future."

Hearing this, Concubine Yuan gradually lowered her head.

This is actually her heart disease.

But she didn't have any obsession with this, she just grabbed the emperor's hand and said seriously, "Your Majesty, if you really get to that point, the concubine will accompany you."

"I can't bear it."

The emperor smiled, then looked at her, and said slowly; "I'm going to give you a baby?"

Hearing this, Concubine Yuan's face turned slightly red, and when the emperor saw her like this, he smiled again: "My body can't give you your own child, but I can help you have a child."

"Adoptive?"

Concubine Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then looked puzzled, "But now in the palace, it seems that there are no children who can make the concubine pass by."

"Yes."

The Emperor squeezed her hand, "You'll know when the time comes."

On the other side, Qi Jingxing walked out of the palace and immediately found Shen Youqiu, who was studying the pharmacy left by the ancients.

"The emperor asked me to keep an eye on the iron mine, I think, I'm afraid something is going to happen."

He leaned lightly beside Shen Youqiu and said slowly, "Your family, I'm afraid it's going to stir up the world."

"You're wrong."

Shen Youqiu looked back and smiled, "Our family is an ordinary family, what kind of world is stirring up?"

"Now that the trend of iron tools is spreading, it is slowly involving huge interests, and I have found several points where iron tools are bought and sold privately, and I have found a lot of them, and I secretly don't know how long it will be."

"Where did the iron come from?" Shen Youqiu thought of something, and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be related to Lin Rufeng, I heard that the amount of iron ore over there is very huge."

"Not really, there are iron mines elsewhere as well." Qi Jingxing shook his head, "It's just that the scale is not that large, since the imperial court was able to produce iron tools on a large scale, many places have actually been controlled, but there are still many people who smuggle iron tools or iron ore in private."

"These are normal, but there is only one thing that makes me very suspicious, that is, the flow of these iron tools, nearly eighty percent of them, are unexpectedly consistent, and that direction is not far from the capital."
