Chapter 401: Cutting the Grass and Eradicating the Roots

"Your Majesty!"

An exclamation came from outside the main hall.

"The queen must be careful of your body!"

Yun Qinghe ignored the persuasion of the grandmother beside him, lifted the hem of his skirt, and trotted in front of Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen heard her voice, lifted his eyes with great effort, his eyes fell on her, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Qinghe... How did you end up here......"

She should have followed the team to Qingling.

Yun Qinghe knelt in front of him, stretched out his hand to hold his face, tears rained down, "The concubine wanted to guard the emperor, so she stayed on her own initiative, hid in the palace, and came out only when there was no movement outside." ”

Yuan Chen tugged at his lips, and only after a while did a word come out, "Stupid." ”

Yun Qinghe wiped the tears on his face, looked up at Zhuo Ming, his eyes were a little sharper, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you help the emperor into the inner hall quickly." ”

Zhuo Ming hurriedly responded, picked up Yuan Chen, and walked towards the hall in a leisurely manner, leaving only Shen Ji outside.

Shen Ji took a deep look at the inner hall before turning around and leaving the house.

"Your Majesty ......" Yun Qinghe lay on the side of the bed and cried into tears.

Yuan Chen raised his hand to touch her face, wiped away her tears, and was about to speak, but there was another series of coughs.

"Qinghe ......" Yuan Chen endured the discomfort in his body, lowered his eyes and looked at her, and his tone was serious, "The country is still there, I have no wishes, I can only rest assured that you and the fetus in my womb are ......"

Tears blurred his vision, Yun Qinghe bit his lower lip, and said in a trembling voice, "This kid carries our hope on his shoulders, and even if the concubine does her best, she will definitely protect him." ”

In the past few days, she has often cried until dawn, and her eyes have long been swollen into walnuts, which makes Yuan Chen laugh.

"You just have to take care of your body with peace of mind, the grandfather and Shen Qing are in charge of the court, and there will be no mistakes." The corners of Yuan Chen's mouth rose slightly, and his fingertips slid down, landing on her flat lower abdomen, and muttered, "It's a pity that I can't see him with my own eyes." ”

Yun Qinghe lowered his head, tears in his eyes again.

For a few days in a row, it was like crying all the tears of a lifetime.

"Qinghe, I believe you can teach our children well." Yuan Chen looked at her with a smile, his eyes were soft, "I have written an edict, when the king dies, I will make Shen Qing the first assistant of the cabinet, temporarily manage the government, and when the emperor is born, he will be the prince and the prince." ”

Yun Qinghe was stunned, his crying stopped abruptly, and he muttered, "Your Majesty... Didn't it give him great power...... When his hands and eyes reach the sky, how can he give his concubines and the emperor a way to live? ”

"I'm not going to let that happen." Yuan Chen hooked his pale lips, as if he was confident, "With the pressure of his grandfather, Shen Qing will not turn the sky upside down, besides, he still has people he cares about, and he will not let himself fall into injustice." ”

"The emperor said...... Fang's? Yun Qinghe blinked, and a tear fell from his eyelashes, "It turns out that the rumors outside are all true." ”

Yuan Chen looked at her lower abdomen, his eyes were full of reluctance, and after a while, he sighed, "Zhuo Ming, summon Shen Qing in." ”

"Yes."

After a while, Shen Ji slowly walked into the hall, looked at the emperor on the bed, and called softly, "Your Majesty." ”

Yuan Chen's eyes were dark, and his voice was a little softer, "Come here, I have something to tell you." ”

Shen Ji raised his feet and approached, stood still in front of the bed, and looked at him quietly, "The emperor has an order, and he orders the ministers." ”

"Those two ......" Yuan Chen paused, and only said after a while, "Although they are rebels, they are also my brothers, so you don't have to kill them all, leave them alive, abolish them as concubines, and exile them for thousands of miles." ”

Shen Ji drooped his eyelids, unable to see his expression clearly, and didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, Shen Jicai said in a low voice, "Yes." ”

Yuan Chen's mind was over, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he turned sideways and fell asleep again.

Over the past few days, he slept longer and longer.

Shen Ji bent down, tucked the corners of the quilt for him, and turned to leave.

Lian Yan leveled out the outside, stood at the door of the hall early, and when he saw Shen Ji coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward, "What, did the emperor say how to deal with those two people?" ”

Shen Ji pursed his thin lips and lightly spit out a word, "Kill." ”

Lian Yan was in a trance for a moment before nodding his head, "Okay, I'll do it." ”

Seeing Lian Yan leaving, Shen Ji's eyes darkened a little, and he muttered in a deep voice, "Only by cutting the grass and removing the roots can you sleep soundly." ”

The next day, it was still calm and the streets were empty.

When the rooster crowed, bells suddenly rang in all directions.

Shen Ji woke up suddenly, turned over and sat up.

There was movement outside the door, Wen Mo was wearing a coat, his face was flustered, and there were traces on his face that came out of his sleep, "Sir, the death knell ......"

Shen Ji only felt that his head was buzzing, and he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, hurriedly put on his shoes, put on his long shirt, and rushed out of the house.

The night was thick, the door was pushed open, Shen Ji tripped over the threshold carelessly, but fortunately he followed Wen Mo by his side, so as not to fall to the ground.

Walking out of the house, Shen Ji raised his head and looked in the direction of the palace.

The sound of pushing the door sounded one after another, and more and more people came out to inquire with the lamps in their hands, and they almost filled the alley.

Xie Li opened his eyes in a trance, he was woken up for no reason, and his face was still angry about getting up, and after a while, he heard that it was a death knell ringing outside.

Suddenly there was no sleepiness, Xie Li's heart sank, he got out of bed in a hurry, picked up his clothes and put them on his body indiscriminately, and he didn't see the calm and self-contained appearance of the past.

-

When the news reached Qingling, it was already seven days later.

Fang Lan sat at the table, his hand holding the letter paper trembled, and his face instantly lost blood.

"Lan, what are you looking at?"

The voice of the Empress Dowager Zhu came from the front, Fang Lan's body stiffened, and he subconsciously pressed the letter paper on his chest.

Seeing her like this, the Queen Mother Zhu paused, and a trace of suspicion flashed on her face, "Ah Lan, what are you hiding?" ”

Fang Lan shook his head vigorously, pretending to be calm, "It's nothing, why did the Queen Mother get up so early today?" ”

Seeing that she didn't want to say it, the Empress Dowager Zhu thought it was a private matter, so she didn't ask more, just sighed, sat at the table, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't know what happened to the capital, I haven't had a letter for so long, my heart is always empty, somehow, I dreamed of Chen Er's appearance when she was a child last night." ”

Zhu Empress Dowager caressed her heart and looked worried, "In my dream, Chen Er kept crying, and I couldn't coax it, and I also followed it in my heart." ”

"Alan, you say...... Nothing will happen to Chen'er, right? ”

Fang Lan's body stiffened, and the fingertips holding the letter were so hard that they turned white.

"Lan?" Seeing her strange appearance, Empress Dowager Zhu was puzzled, "Why are you so pale?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhu paused, as if she felt something, lowered her eyes to look behind her, and muttered, "You are holding it...... But a letter from the capital? ”

"No ......"

Fang Lan subconsciously shook his head.

"Show me." Zhu Empress Dowager stretched out her hand, the smile on her face dissipated, and she had the posture that she would not give up if she didn't give herself.

Fang Lan bit his lip and was hesitating, but the Empress Dowager Zhu took advantage of the loophole, and took advantage of her unpreparedness to raise her hand and snatch the letter.

"The Queen Mother's ......"

Zhu Empress Dowager lowered her eyes and swept her gaze over the two lines of the letter.

As soon as the fingertips were loosened, the letter paper fell to the ground, and the Queen Mother was crooked and unconscious.

"Queen Mother!"
