It was night, the lights in the Zichun Pavilion were bright, even if the queen was still sick, she also dragged the sick body over, only to see the emperor sitting in the first seat, Concubine Hua knelt on the ground and did not dare to breathe, behind Cao Guiren and others knelt in a hurry, and seven or eight guards in the courtyard were being punished by the board, wailing and begging for mercy.

After the queen saluted the emperor, she sat down on the empty seat on the other side of the head, and when she was on the way, she already understood the general cause and effect, and as soon as she sat down, she asked with concern: "Can Rong Guiren's child be saved?" ”

At this time, Zhang Mi happened to come out and replied: "Back to the emperor and queen, tonight Rong Guiren was too frightened, and he had fetal gas, so he was still in a coma, and because Rong Guiren just swallowed two mouthfuls of abortion pills, the amount was not much, but there were signs of miscarriage, Weichen has applied needles to stabilize the fetus, and now the child is saved, but he still needs to rest in bed, and wait for the fetus to sit firmly before he can get out of bed and walk around." ”

Suddenly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only the queen, with a touch of regret in her eyes.

The emperor still had heavy eyes, his face did not stretch for a minute, he looked at Concubine Hua fixedly, remembering her appearance when she first entered the palace many years ago, so bright and moving, but now, she has become like this. After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Rong Guiren is still grounded, I said, you can't visit without an edict, you come today, do you have a warrant from the queen?" ”

Before Concubine Hua could speak, the queen said: "The concubine did not receive Concubine Hua's request to visit Rong Guiren. ”

Concubine Hua opened her mouth before she opened her mouth with some difficulty to admit: "The matter is very important, the concubine is in a hurry to find out the situation, and she has not had time to ask for the queen's warrant." She suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the emperor didn't mention An Lingrong's matter, but he picked her fault first. The concubine was guilty and asked the emperor to punish her. ”

The emperor had a calm face, looked around, took one last look at the queen, retracted his gaze, and then looked at Concubine Hua: "What is it for today, I have to make people turn their backs in the middle of the night." He didn't point to Concubine Hua, but to Cao Guiren behind Concubine Hua, "You come on." ”

"Concubine Hua heard that the palace people said that Rong Guiren had been vomiting from time to time recently, worried that she was unwell and difficult to ask for a doctor, so she brought someone to treat her, but she never wanted to diagnose Rong Guiren was pregnant for more than a month, but Rong Guiren had clearly been grounded for more than two months, so Concubine Hua thought that Rong Guiren was ...... Is it ......" Cao Guiren was a little embarrassed, she looked at the emperor's increasingly gloomy expression, as if her throat was blocked, and she couldn't speak.

"Good, good. Concubine Hua is really resolute. The emperor sneered suddenly, turned to the front of the conversation, and scolded sharply, "I haven't restored your right to associate with the six palaces, but you are thinking about crossing the queen every day, which is more important, which is right and which is wrong, you don't understand at all, the matter has not been investigated clearly, you make a judgment, who taught you to do this?" I originally thought that you would be cautious and docile recently, and I would restore you to the power of the six palaces in a few days, but I never thought that you were becoming more and more impatient, but today it seems that it is not necessary. ”

Concubine Hua's body was shocked, and she looked up at the emperor dumbfounded, but she saw a coldness in his eyes.

"The queen has not been in good health recently, but there are many things in the palace in the new year, and she has to work hard for the queen." The emperor glanced at the queen, thought about it, raised his head and said to Su Peisheng, "Spread the decree to the six palaces, and the nobles of Jin Hui are concubines, and from now on, they will assist in all matters of the six palaces." A while ago, Mei'er's chrysanthemum appreciation conference was very good, and she used to help the queen take care of all the things in the harem, so there was no problem. ”

"In this way, there are two lords in Xianfu Palace, can the emperor choose another palace for Concubine Hui?" Although the queen was dissatisfied, she was able to make Concubine Hua fall so much, and she was happy to see it, so she smiled and said, "Chuxiu Palace, Zhongcui Palace, and Chengqian Palace are all empty now, and the emperor can choose a place to give Hui Concubine." ”

"It's Chuxiu Palace, it's also close to Xianfu Palace." The emperor made a decision, completely ignoring Concubine Hua's face.

"Your Majesty, even if the concubine is at fault first, but there is a reason for it, Rong Guiren not only fornicated with others, but also secretly married a pearl, the concubine was just anxious, and she didn't want such an ugly thing to smear the emperor, so she didn't act in accordance with the rules." Concubine Hua bit her lip to endure her grievances, and looked at the emperor with beautiful eyes, trying to arouse his pity.

The emperor's face turned even darker: "Rong'er has never had an affair with anyone, she is pregnant with my child." ”

The words landed, like a thunderclap on the ground, and everyone was blindfolded for a while, even the queen who already knew the inside story and Cao Guiren, who vaguely guessed the truth, were all shocked in place at this moment. The emperor even directly admitted this fact.

"The Queen Mother has arrived—"

The Queen Mother came in the night, and everyone saluted.

"More deeply exposed, why is the emperor's mother here." The emperor stood up and said hello.

"Things are so fierce, it's hard for the mourning family to know about it." Although the queen mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time and ignores the affairs of the six palaces, she has ears and eyes all over her ears, and she knows everything about what happened in Zichun Pavilion tonight in less than half an hour, and after analyzing the stakes, she hurried over regardless of her own body, "Zichun Pavilion An is uneasy in the room, seduces the emperor during the grounding period, damages the reputation of the Son of Heaven, and should be severely punished, but thinking of being pregnant with the emperor's heir, the merits and demerits are offset, so he was reduced to a promise to show punishment." She looked at the emperor seriously, "What does the emperor think?" ”

The emperor also regretted it a little after admitting it, the queen mother's will solved his predicament, how could it not be at this time: "But it is up to the emperor to decide." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, and turned to look at the queen: "The eunuch in the respectful room was not careful, and he missed this day, so let someone make up for it quickly." Looking at Concubine Hua again, "Concubine Hua is indeed a little reckless today, but it is also because she listened to the villain's slander, although she acted without a form, the starting point was for the emperor's consideration, and it could be regarded as a merit and demerit, and it was enough to go back and think about it behind closed doors for two days." ”

Concubine Hua's eyes were shining, and she took Song Zhi's hand and got up: "Empress Dowager Xie." ”

The Queen Mother asked Zhang Mi'an about the situation of Lingrong again, and was relieved to know that the child was saved, and glanced at the queen without a trace, and then said: "Rong promised to be restless, before the mourning family came, they had already asked people to sort out the Chunxi Hall behind the Shoukang Palace, so let her move there to live, and the mourning family wanted to see what else she could do." ”

The queen's face twitched, but she still made a virtuous appearance: "With the emperor's mother watching, Rong promised to keep to herself, hoping that she could realize her mistake and give birth to a dragon heir for the emperor in peace." ”

Taking advantage of the night, the Queen Mother asked An Lingrong to move to the Chunxi Palace, and the emperor asked Su Peisheng to follow him personally.

The people present tonight are all human spirits, so they can naturally hear that the queen mother's words are for the emperor, and An Lingrong's fault is not the case, but she also has to bear this charge, just to make this child justifiable, as for the reprimand of An Lingrong who is uneasy in the room, it is just to protect the emperor's heir.

This farce finally came to an end under the command of the Queen Mother.

When I returned to Shoukang Palace, I heard Zhuxi say that the emperor had sent someone to take care of An Lingrong's daily life, and brought it in to take a look, but it was beyond the expectations of the Queen Mother: "The emperor is willing to let you come over, is your health okay?" ”

Fen Ruo stood in front of the Queen Mother with her hands down, and said lightly: "Thanks to the Queen Mother's care, everything is fine with the slave maid." ”

"You are Chunyuan's nurse, and you have been serving the emperor since she passed away, and the mourning family hasn't seen you for many years." The Queen Mother put a little more effort into it tonight, and leaned on the head of the bed a little tired at this time, "It's okay if you come to take care of Rong Promise, with you, she doesn't dare to do it." She looked at Fen Ruo and said in a deep voice, "You failed to keep Chunyuan and her children back then, don't make the same mistake this time." ”

"Yes, slave understands." Fenruo leaned over and saluted, a look of agroness in her eyes.

Early the next morning, Zhen Huan and Chun Chang made an appointment to come to the queen to say goodbye.

"It's been cold and windy in the past two days, and Concubine Hua made another fuss last night, and the palace almost couldn't get up this morning." The queen sat on the upper seat with the stove in her hand, and looked at the two of them with a smile, "It's hard for you to come to the palace so early to say goodbye." ”

Zhen Huan pursed her lips and smiled lightly, testing the queen's tone: "Last night, the concubine seemed to hear some movement in Qixiang Palace, but it was late at night, and she didn't dare to move around at will, I don't know what happened?" ”

"It doesn't hurt to talk to you." The queen frowned and hesitated for a moment in embarrassment, and then said, "Last night, Concubine Hua led someone to break into Zichun Pavilion, saying that Rong promised to have an affair with someone, and secretly married a bead fetus, she got the news and went to send Luo Rong agreed, and almost fed a bowl of abortion pills, fortunately, the emperor arrived in time." It turned out to be the emperor's whim, and one night he went to Linxing and promised but did not record the file in the respectful room, which made a fuss. She looked at Zhen Huan's slowly stiffened face, and the Buddha said comfortingly, "Don't be careful, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and it is all up to him to summon the concubines, maybe that day is just an occasional idea." After a pause, she said again, "The Queen Mother can't help but consider the emperor's reputation, so she can only let Rong promise to bear this charge, it's really embarrassing for her, and she is still pregnant with a child, so she has suffered such a big grievance, alas." ”

Zhen Huan squeezed her hand hard, so that she didn't lose her temper in front of the queen, her face was full of worry and concern: "Then Sister Rong didn't have anything wrong, right?" She has always been weak. ”

"After a toss, I almost had a miscarriage." The queen shook her head and sighed, "The queen mother moved her to the Chunxi Palace to recuperate, on the surface, she said that she wanted to watch Rong in person, but in fact, it was also to protect her, so as not to be implicated by the twists and turns of the harem again." Rong promised that his father was being reused by the emperor, and the queen mother also had to take this into account, if you miss her in the future, go to Shoukang Palace to walk around. Speaking, he talked about Shen Meizhuang again, "When it comes to going to Shoukang Palace to walk around, Hui Concubine is the most diligent, in the future, she will be busy with the affairs of the Sixth Palace, I am afraid it will be difficult to take care of both ends, Guan noble, you and her are like sisters, and you will have to bother you in the future." ”

"Concubine Hui?" Zhen Huan was stunned.

Only then did the queen react: "The emperor hasn't gone down to the court yet, and Su Peisheng hasn't announced the six palaces yet." She pursed her lips and chuckled, "Last night, Concubine Hua's words and deeds were insignificant, and the emperor rested her plan to restore her to assist in the power of the six palaces, and deliberately let Concubine Hui take over. ”

"Then I have to congratulate Sister Hui." Chun Chang said with a smile.

The queen looked at Chun Changzai and said with a smile: "Chun Changzai is getting better and better, is the emperor good to you?" ”

"The emperor loves his concubines, and he instructed the imperial dining room to make delicious pastries for his concubines every day." Chun Chang is smiling brightly.

"That's good." Empress Bai instructed, "You are now the emperor's concubine, and you will have to think about the emperor's affairs everywhere in the future, understand?" ”

Chun Chang nodded, and then spoke about today's intentions: "Queen Mother, the concubine has a small request, I don't know if the mother can agree." Seeing the queen nodding, she said again, "The concubine wants to live with Sister Guan." In the past, I moved out to avoid Sister Guan's illness, and later because Sister Rong lived in and occupied space, but now that Sister Rong has moved out, Sister Guan's illness has been cured for so long, and the concubine still wants to be with Sister Guan. ”

The queen looked at Zhen Huan and asked her what she meant.

Zhen Huan was thinking about An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang, but the queen took a look at her before she reacted, and replied with a smile: "I had Sister Rong as a companion before, and it was quite lively, but now there is only one concubine living in Broken Yuxuan, which is strange and lonely, if you can be with Chun Chang, the concubine is also very happy." ”

The queen showed a satisfied smile, and naturally agreed: "It just so happens that Concubine Hui has just been promoted to the throne, and she will move from Xianfu Palace to Chuxiu Palace in the next few days, so I will notify the Internal Affairs Office to move together." At the end, she smiled again, "I've always heard that several of you have a good relationship, and now you are moving to the residence together, which is really fateful." ”

But no, An Lingrong moved from Zichun Pavilion to Chunxi Palace, Shen Meizhuang moved from Xianfu Palace to Chuxiu Palace, and Chunchang moved from Yanxi Palace to Zhen Huan's broken Yuxuan, and they actually got together.

"If everyone in the palace has such a good relationship as your sisters, then this palace can be at ease." The queen sighed, and let the two of them kneel down.

Zhen Huan and Chun Chang walked out hand in hand, and suddenly saw a person around the corner.
