Zhuo Ming knelt on the ground, hesitating, unable to say why.

"Shen Qing ......"

The person in his arms made a slight sound, Shen Ji lowered his head, looked at him, and called in a low voice, "Your Majesty." ”

Yuan Chen pursed his lips, Jun's face was filled with a layer of clouds, and he was just about to speak, when he suddenly coughed, and his face turned a little paler.

Shen Ji held his shoulder, concern flashed on his face, and he said in a deep voice, "The emperor has never mentioned that your body is like this. ”

Yuan Chen waved his hand, his eyes were a little blue, "Shen Qing doesn't have to take it to heart, I know my body." ”

Shen Ji frowned, his face was solemn, and he pursed his thin lips and stopped talking.

"King Huai and King Ping are both missing, they must be anti-hearted......" Yuan Chen's face was as pale as paper, and his voice was dry and weak, "Shen Qing, help me ......"

Shen Ji's heart sank, and his face couldn't bear it, "I am a courtier, and it is my duty to relieve the emperor's worries." ”

Yuan Chen bowed his head and looked sideways at Zhuo Ming, "Proposed edict...... Feng Shen Qing is the prince, assisting the king to lead the hundred politics, acting as the supervisor of the dynasty, and his current position is handed over to Xie Li. ”

Shen Ji was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "Your Majesty ......"

Yuan Chen waved his hand, stopped his words, and looked discouraged, "Shen Qing, the queen...... I've been pregnant for a month......"

Shen Ji was stunned, instantly understood the emperor's thoughts, and responded in a low voice, "The minister will live up to the emperor's trust." ”

Seeing that he agreed, Yuan Chen calmed down, held back the fishy sweetness that came up in his throat, hooked his lips and smiled, "With you here, I am naturally relieved." ”

Shen Ji hung his head slightly, with a sad expression on his face.

The suspicions and resentments of the past also disappeared at this moment.

"Your Majesty, it's better to find a doctor to ......"

Yuan Chen shook his head, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a light smile, "You don't have to worry, I didn't see the prince born in the East Palace with my own eyes, and I was reluctant to leave." ”

Shen Ji lowered his head and was silent, looking at his heart.

It wasn't until Caixia dispersed that Shen Ji returned home.

"Ma'am."

Ye Ming poked his head out, glanced behind him mysteriously, and made sure that there was no one around, before sneaking in.

Fang Xu sat on the bed, having some strength compared to Bai Ri, seeing him like this, he couldn't help laughing, "Sneaky, what do you want to do?" ”

"The little one is here to bring you news." Ye Ming grinned and clarified his intentions, "Lord Shen has been promoted again." ”

Fang Xu had expected it a long time ago, but now that he heard it, he didn't think it was strange, "He was promoted faster than you can start a fire, a few times in a row, why haven't you gotten used to it?" ”

Ye Ming scratched his head and said, "This time is different from before, the emperor somehow suddenly fell ill, and temporarily ordered Lord Shen to supervise Baizheng, and even took the prince and Lord Lu to be promoted." ”

"The emperor is sick?" Fang Xu was taken aback, and quietly glanced at Su Zi beside him.

Su Zi's face turned pale, he quickly glanced at his wife, and then lowered his head.

Fang Xu coughed lightly and asked casually, "Can you say what kind of illness it is?" ”

Ye Ming shook his head, looking dazed, "The father-in-law who came to deliver the message didn't elaborate, this matter is very obscure, and it's not easy for the little ones to inquire." ”

Fang Xu bowed his head, a little absent-mindedly and said, "I know, you can retreat first." ”

"Yes." Ye Ming answered and turned to leave.

The door was closed again, and Su Zi's stiff back loosened, and he muttered, "Madam... Could it be ......?"

"Don't speculate." Fang Xu interrupted her and motioned with his eyes for her to choose her words, "I never thought of asking for his life. ”

Su Zi covered her mouth and nodded hurriedly.

Fang Xu frowned, hesitated, and said softly, "It's just that I bribed the imperial dining room to make a few dishes that restrained food, and I didn't poison it, the day the emperor and Xie Li released their suspicions, I ordered it to stop, and I didn't eat for a few days, it stands to reason that there won't be anything wrong......"

Su Zi thought about it for a while, and said boldly, "Madam, could it be that the emperor himself is sick?" ”

"That's the only way it makes sense." Fang Xu's face was gloomy, and he stared at his fingertips with lowered eyes, "The food of the past few days is non-toxic, and I can't find it on the head of the Hou Mansion." ”

Su Zi nodded and asked in a low voice, "...... over there in the imperial dining room?"

"Stay alive and don't have to touch them." Fang Xu sighed lightly, reached out and said softly, "Help me go and take a look at Bai Ji." ”

"Yes."

Late at night, the moonlight was like silver, Fang Xu passed by the side courtyard, and accidentally saw that the house where Xie Li lived was still lit, and he was puzzled, and walked over.

"Your Majesty's side...... Is it a big deal? ”

Song Huixin's voice came out, faintly worried.

Fang Xu's footsteps stopped, and he stood outside the house with his eyes down, listening carefully to the movement inside.

I only heard Xie Li sigh, "It's hard to say about this matter, the emperor vomited blood in a hurry today, and secretly summoned the imperial doctor, and there is no news yet." ”

Song Huixin frowned slightly, lowered his head, and said in a regretful tone, "The situation between the DPRK and China has only stabilized, and the emperor's dragon body has gone wrong again......"

"When the emperor was ill, Shen Ji was in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and he knew that his time was running out, and he sealed three people in a row, which was quite entrusted."

Xie Li paused, put down the teacup in his hand, and said in a low voice, "And...... Shen Ji brought the word, saying that the lady in the palace was pregnant. ”

"Queen...... Seriously? Song Huixin's eyes widened, and he couldn't hide his shock.

"Shen Jilai's news, how can it be fake?" Xie Li paused, and then said, "As soon as the news of the emperor's illness comes out, all forces will be ready to move, and at that time, how can we protect ourselves?" ”

"It's hard to keep the news, and it's even harder to keep the dragon fetus."

Song Huixin lowered his long eyelashes, his fingertips touched his flat lower abdomen, and he was very sad, "This kid has stumped me, and now ...... I can't do much anymore. ”

You can't ask a little pregnant woman to carry a knife to the battlefield.

"King Huai and King Heping disappeared mysteriously, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, and I can only stand still at the moment, in case I startle the snake, and I can only probe behind my back." Xie Li had a calm face, sighed again and again, and said in a solemn tone, "Now it is difficult to choose who to go out of Beijing, not only to investigate the traces of the two, but also not to show the horse's feet." ”

"It's better to ......" Song Huixin thought about it carefully, and only opened his mouth for a while, "Let Lian Yan make a move?" ”

Xie Li shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No, Lian Yan's identity is not small, and if he is close to me, there will definitely be people staring at him." ”

Fang Xu stood outside the door, listened to the words of the two, was silent for a long time, and turned to leave.

Su Zi quickly followed her and asked in a low voice, "Madam, it's late at night, do you want to call water?" ”

Fang Xu didn't know what he was thinking, and only after a moment did he ask, "Who is on duty today?" ”

Su Zi thought about it for a while and said softly, "It's Uncle Qi and Uncle Zuo." ”

Fang Xu bowed his head, a trace of darkness flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said, "Call Zuo Yan to see me." (End of chapter)
