Before An Lingrong's pregnancy reached the emperor's ears, the queen knew about it first.

After listening to Jian Qiu's words, the queen was silent for a long time, her heart turned a thousand times, on the one hand, she was shocked that the emperor had a tryst with the concubine in the middle of the night regardless of etiquette, and on the other hand, she was quickly thinking about how to kill An Lingrong's child, but in an instant, she already had an idea. She took a sip of tea and said softly: "The emperor is staying in Concubine Hua's palace tonight, such a big happy event, she should also know that she is happy." ”

"Yes." Jian Qiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, and immediately understood what the queen meant.

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua was serving the emperor and entered the dormitory, Song Zhi quietly walked to her side and whispered a few words to her, and suddenly, Concubine Hua showed a surprised and surprised expression on her face, and instantly pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled proudly: "She is really looking for death." During the lockdown period, she didn't know the inspection point, and she had an affair with someone, and the palace saw how she cleared herself this time. She glanced at the dormitory and whispered to Song Zhi, "Go and talk to Cao Guiren, let her plan well, and by the way, let people go to see the Zichun Pavilion, don't let her take advantage of others not knowing that she has lost the fetus." ”

After finishing speaking, he twisted his body and entered the dormitory.

Winter is getting colder, and the Forbidden City looks calm on the surface, but it is already rough underneath.

The emperor learned the news of An Lingrong's pregnancy from Xiao Xiazi's mouth, and was overjoyed, and quietly arranged for Zhang Mi to go to the fetus, and because the New Year was approaching, there were many things in the previous dynasty, and the emperor couldn't take time to come and see her, so he could only write a letter to send lovesickness, but he didn't expect that this would become the fuse for the disclosure of the matter.

That night, Concubine Hua was worried about the halving of the rewards for the New Year's Festival in the palace this year: "Every New Year's Day, the palace will be rewarded, and it is not enough to double it, but it will also be halved, isn't it a drop in the bucket?" This year is different from previous years, my brother celebrates the New Year in Beijing, the palace has to reward more, and the people in the palace must be obedient and convinced, prestige is one thing, the emperor's favor is one thing, and the most important thing is to reward the silver, so that people are willing to do things for you. After complaining, she sighed again, "However, the emperor personally ordered to save expenses, but it is a little difficult." ”

"Actually, the mother can ask the general for it." Songzhi proposed.

Concubine Hua frowned and shook her head: "Over the years, my brother has been outside, and he has helped the palace a lot openly and secretly, otherwise he won't be able to hold on for ten days with this little monthly silver." But blindly reaching out to your mother's family is not a problem. ”

Song Zhi's eyes rolled, remembering the words that came in from outside two days ago and the things that the person gave her, her heart moved, and she said: "Actually, it is not difficult for Niangniang to earn some self-esteem. Seeing Concubine Hua look over, she said again, "The slave maid heard from the people in the palace that after the general returned to Beijing, there were so many people who wanted to see the official, but it was a pity that the general didn't have time to see them, these people were in a hurry like headless flies, and they didn't know what to do. ”

Concubine Hua hesitated a little: "There is such a good thing?" ”

"The emperor opened the imperial examination to select talents, and these people recommended themselves for the future." Song Zhi sorted out the words that the person came in and said, "If it is really good, let the general recommend it to the emperor, it will also be a credit to the mother." ”

Concubine Hua thought for a while, and was a little moved in her heart: "The emperor does not allow the harem to discuss the government in vain, they want to see their brother, and it is okay for the palace to pass on a word, as for whether to use it or not, it has to listen to my brother." ”

"The mother is wise." Song Zhi bowed, knowing that Concubine Hua had agreed.

As he was talking, Cao Guiren walked in from the outside and saluted Concubine Hua.

"It's all arranged?" Concubine Hua solved a troublesome matter, she was in a good mood at this time, and she was not angry when she saw that Cao Guiren didn't bring Wen Yi over today, but said, "This palace knows that you are friendly with Rong Guiren, and you stopped this palace from making trouble with her before, and this palace also promised you, this time she hit the muzzle of the gun herself, but she can't complain about this palace." She couldn't stop the smile on the corner of her mouth, and Lang Lang said, "Rong Guiren was grounded by the emperor, and he couldn't bear the loneliness of the deep palace and the others was trying to kill himself." The queen is now sick, and the palace, as the head of the concubines, should clear the palace and share the queen's worries. ”

Cao Guiren closed his eyes, and lowered his eyes: "According to Niangniang's instructions, everyone has already been arranged." ”

"Okay." Concubine Hua held Song Zhi's hand and stood up slowly, "Then the palace will go to Qixiang Palace." ”

Cao Guiren followed closely, and behind her, there was also a little palace maid and little eunuch, if the people from Zichun Pavilion were here, they would definitely be able to recognize that this was the palace maid and eunuch who brought them food every day.

As the night deepened, the city was full of storms.

An Lingrong was wrapped in a thick blanket, sitting under the porch and drinking fetal pills in small sips, his face looked much better than a few days ago, dill and cardamom were cleaning up the quilt that had been exposed to the sun today, Qin'er Mo'er was helping to tidy it up, and Xiao Yinzi was holding the trap bird made two days ago to make An Lingrong happy.

Cuiyin made the mattress and came out and said, "Little master, you can go in and sleep." ”

"Okay." An Lingrong handed her the empty bowl, got up and was about to enter the house, when she suddenly heard a commotion outside, Cuiyin Dill and others hurriedly stood beside An Lingrong to protect her.

Immediately afterwards, the small door of Zichun Pavilion was kicked open from the outside, and the small pebbles blocking the door were set aside by the guards, and Concubine Hua walked in with a mighty man. As soon as she entered the door, Concubine Hua met An Lingrong's slightly panicked eyes, and suddenly smiled more and more proudly: "Come on, detain Rong Guiren!" ”

"What are you doing!"

The guards got the order, and immediately rushed up to pull away the dill and cardamom, Cuiyin was pushed and refused to leave, and was slapped hard by the leading guard and pushed to the ground, and the two powerful guards escorted An Lingrong to Concubine Hua, and pressed her to her knees with a little force.

Concubine Hua walked into Zichun Pavilion leisurely, sat down on the top, looked down at An Lingrong condescendingly, and called Jiang Cheng: "This palace heard that my sister has been unwell recently, so I specially brought the imperial doctor over." Tired of Imperial Doctor Jiang, take the pulse of Rong Guiren. ”

Jiang Cheng should be, step forward to take the pulse of An Lingrong.

The matter has come to this point, where is there anything An Lingrong doesn't understand, but he laughed coldly in his heart, Concubine Hua is destined to return tonight - but before that, she must protect herself and the child first, if she lets Concubine Hua move, she will lose the fetus at that time, and she will be the one who will be hurt the most deeply. Therefore, she made a sad look on her face and said: "Concubine Hua Niangniang broke into Zichun Pavilion today, can there be an emperor's holy decree?" Is there a queen's decree? ”

Concubine Hua just sneered and waited for Jiang Cheng's verdict.

"Hui Niangniang, there is no discomfort in the noble body, it's just that the noble person has been pregnant for more than a month......" Jiang Cheng wanted to speak and stopped, but the meaning was already in place.

"Bold An Lingrong, dare to fornicate with others and mess with the harem!" Concubine Hua immediately had a seizure and shouted loudly, "Who is the adulterer, and he still hasn't told me honestly!" Seeing An Lingrong trembling, her eyes were even more proud, and she said to Zhou Ninghai, "This matter is very important, go and ask the emperor." She glanced around, and suddenly sneered, "These people around Rong Guiren are all confined to Zichun Pavilion with a companion, and they all beat the palace hard until they let go of their mouths." ”

"Concubine Hua, you slander the concubine ......"

"Slander?" Concubine Hua sharply interrupted An Lingrong's words, got up and walked in front of her, squinted and reached out to pinch her chin, leaned closer and said, "You have been grounded for more than two months, but the imperial doctor has diagnosed that you have been pregnant for more than a month, this child was not conceived by you by fornication, is it still the emperor's fault?" An Lingrong, don't take everyone else for a fool. Concubine Hua sneered, "Do you think that if you hide in the Zichun Pavilion, you can dispose of the child unknowingly, and then act as if nothing happened?" She threw away An Lingrong's face, straightened up, and said in a coquettish tone, "If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do." The palace maid and eunuch who brought you food every day have seen you retching and morning sickness from time to time, and I have seen someone exchanging letters with you, I'm afraid that only you think no one knows, right? ”

An Lingrong listened to the painful cries outside, her heart was like a knife, she raised her eyes to look at Concubine Hua, her eyes were full of hatred, and she looked at Cao Guiren again, but when she saw Cao Guiren move her eyes to avoid looking at her, her heart suddenly cooled. She gritted her teeth, and her mind quickly thought of countermeasures: "The concubine did not have an affair with anyone. Even if you want to deal with the concubines and the people in the palace, you have to make an order from the queen, and Concubine Hua's move will inevitably be arrogant......"

"The queen had a headache and was recuperating from her illness, and she had entrusted all the affairs of the harem to this palace, do you think this palace is qualified to deal with you?" Concubine Hua sat down peacefully, looked at An Lingrong's bewildered face with interest, and said, "An's has no virtue and no talent, and the evil seeds in the abdomen cannot be broken, go boil a bowl of abortion pills, and after the evil seeds land, then hand them over to the emperor himself." ”

An Lingrong's eyes widened, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Jiang Cheng had already received the order to go down, An Lingrong knelt on the ground, cold sweat fell drop by drop, she was like falling into an ice cellar, her whole body was cold. However, she couldn't tell Concubine Hua that she was indeed pregnant with the emperor's child, if she said it, even if she could save her life, it would also ruin the emperor's reputation, and after today, how should she deal with herself? But if you don't say it, a bowl of abortion pills will be fierce, not only will the child in her womb be gone, but I am afraid it will be difficult to get pregnant in the future.

This shot, Concubine Hua was really fast and ruthless.

Cao Guiren stood aside, his heart like hot oil cooking. In fact, she didn't have evidence of An Lingrong's fornication, and she knew that An Lingrong was actually quite valued by the emperor, but no matter where this child came from, today's situation is a dead end for An Lingrong, and she has no power to return to heaven whether she says the truth or not.

If An Lingrong does not have a record of the respect room, it is impossible to conceive the emperor's child, if it is the emperor's child, it means that the emperor disregards human etiquette and meets the palace concubine privately, even if it is to take care of the royal face, An Lingrong's child cannot be kept.

Cao Guiren closed his eyes fiercely and stopped looking at An Lingrong.

Even though she vaguely guessed that An Lingrong's child might be the emperor, she still obeyed Concubine Hua's wishes and put the charge of disturbing the harem on An Lingrong's head, just because she felt that An Lingrong was bound to lose.

The hot and thick medicinal juice was brought up, An Lingrong wanted to escape but was pressed on the shoulder, and watched Zhou Ninghai deliver the medicine in front of her, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she gritted her teeth to dodge, but because of the disparity in strength, she still leaked a few mouthfuls into her mouth.

It's so bitter......

"The little master can't drink it!"

Cuiyin's voice came from a distance, An Lingrong's eyes were blurred, only a commotion and fighting sound was heard outside, someone rushed up and knocked Zhou Ninghai down, the sound of the medicine bowl falling to the ground and smashing was clearly audible, and then, the hand that restrained An Lingrong was released, and Xiao Yinzi protected An Lingrong like crazy, and Xiao Shizi followed aside like a newborn calf, whoever came up would hit whom.

"Bold!" Concubine Hua was startled, and motioned for Zhou Ninghai to start hitting directly, and suddenly the board fell like rain.

Xiao Yinzi pounced on An Lingrong to block the board, and seeing that a board was about to fall on An Lingrong's stomach, the little stone slammed forward.

"Poof—"

An Lingrong's eyes were hazy with tears, looking at the person who fell in front of him, and his heart was full of sorrow: "Little pebble!! ”

The board of "Little Master ......" rushed to knock down the fetus, the small pebble blocked it head-on, and the internal organs were torn, he opened his eyes and looked at An Lingrong, and reached out to push the corner of her clothes, "Quick...... Run ......"

An Lingrong only felt a buzzing in his ears, and the world was spinning in front of him, and the last second before falling into darkness was the bright yellow that came in a hurry.

"Rong'er!"

There is a very subtle foreshadowing here, I don't know if there is a baby to see it.
