This voice, sad and sorrowful, attracted everyone's attention.

Liu He's eyes were red, and he endured it, so he didn't continue to cry, but his voice was dry and hoarse, which made people feel sad to hear.

"The slave begs the emperor...... Since the master entered the palace, he has been cautious and does not dare to have a half-branch error pool. Serving the emperor is also careful everywhere, for fear of displeasing the emperor. The master has a pure temperament, has never harmed anyone, the slave begged the emperor, begged the emperor to protect the master! ”

Liu He said, his forehead slammed to the ground, one after another, and soon the skin and flesh on his forehead were broken, oozing blood, the flesh and blood were blurred, dripping all over his face, mixed with tears, terrifying and shocking.

Li Xuanyin flicked the wrench of his thumb, his face was pale, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Hearing this, Ning Guifei sneered, "What is Lu Chang's identity, can he be more expensive than the dragon descendant?" ”

Wanfu also clenched her palms, between Lu Changzai's life and the dragonborn, what would the emperor choose?

She looked at it quietly, and did not see the pity on the man's face, and the emperor's attitude towards Lu Changzai was always lukewarm, and if it weren't for Lu Changzai's unexpected pregnancy, he wouldn't have received so much attention.

The heart of the emperor is cold and desolate, and Wanfu does not dare to gamble with Lu Changzai's life.

She was quick to make a decision.

"Your Majesty, there can be another dragon heir, Lu Changzai has only one life, and the concubine begs the emperor to save Lu Changzai."

Wan Futi knelt on the ground in her skirt, and her soft eyes were extremely firm at this time, like a tough grass, and she was like two people.

No one would have thought that Ling Cairen would intercede for Lu Chang at this time, and now she is the most favored, if she wants this child, it is not impossible for her to ask the emperor for it, but she gave up for Lu Changzai's life in vain, is she crazy?

"Ling Cairen is kind-hearted at this time, but he is afraid that Lu Chang will give birth to a prince and threaten your status." Concubine Ning glanced at her sarcastically.

"The concubine has no children, and she can't understand the pain of Lu Chang's childbirth, so it's understandable to say this." Wanfu said with a cold face and without mercy.

This sentence stabbed Ning Guifei's sore spot, Ning Guifei's eyes were about to split, if it weren't for the emperor here, she would want to slap her, "You! You bitch, so bold! ”

"Enough!" Li Xuanyin's cold voice reprimanded Ning Guifei by surprise, the emperor has always tolerated her, no matter what ridiculous words she says, the emperor will not reprimand, let alone in front of so many people. She looked stunned, naturally she would not complain about the emperor, she would only put all this jealousy on that person, and sooner or later, she would have to clean up this little slut.

Li Xuanyin had a cold face and instructed the imperial doctor, "No matter what, keep Lu Chang here." ”

The imperial physician was instructed to rush back to the inner hall, and at this point, Wanfu breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't realize that the sweat had soaked the back of her clothes. She lowered her head and behaved properly, "The concubine is thanking the emperor for Lu Chang." ”

Li Xuanyin looked at her indifferently, he didn't know that this woman would be so kind before, and she was willing to risk his displeasure to save an irrelevant person.

It wasn't until the inner hall that the imperial doctor sent a letter that Lu Chang was fine, and he was completely relieved. Naturally, this broodborn was not saved.

Liu He was paralyzed for a moment, immediately got up, and ran inside to serve Lu Changzai.

It's over, and there is no need for anyone to stay. Li Xuanyin did not go in to see Lu Changzai, and everyone knew that one was taboo in the delivery room, and the other was that the emperor had no friendship with Lu Chang, and Lu Changzai had not been able to give birth to a dragon descendant, so the emperor really had no need to go to see him.

But after the holy driver left, a holy decree came from the palace, canonizing Lu Changzai as a five-grade nobleman, and sending the tonic gift to Yinshuang Zhai like a flowing water. Even if you don't get the Dragonborn, this is a sealed grade and a tonic, which has already made others red-eyed.

Wanfu didn't go to see Lu Changzai, and now that she had just had a miscarriage, she probably didn't want to see anyone. She went back to the Golden Jubilee Pavilion, but she had palpitations for a while, sitting in front of the window with her chin propped up and losing her mind, and when she was chanting for frost fasting, she was really anxious, and those words blurted out must have offended Ning Guifei.

She was out of her mind for a while, and she couldn't help but think about the emperor's reward for Lu Changzai, even the concubines who gave birth to the dragon descendants did not have such a heavy reward, whether it was compensation or something else, the sacred heart was unpredictable, and Wanfu could not guess.

……

Chaolu Temple

That night, the emperor did not summon the concubines to sleep, so the concubines sat in front of the dressing table and removed the beads between the sideburns.

The woman in the makeup mirror, her lips are not dotted with cinnabar, they are pale pink, her eyebrows and eyes are clear and cold, and she is an extremely plain face.

Tao Rui came in to remove the master's hair, and Ying Concubine glanced at her casually, pointed her fingertips on the dressing table, and clicked twice, "In just three years, you were bought by Ning Guifei?" ”

With a ding dong, the hairpin fell to the ground.

Tao Rui paused slightly, then pulled the corners of her lips and smiled dryly: "What is the master talking about?" The slave maid has been guarding the Chaolu Hall for the past three years, waiting for the master to come back, how could she have anything to do with Ning Guifei. ”

Ying Concubine sneered, ignoring her argument, "This palace is just curious, when is Concubine Ning going to knock this basin on the head of this palace." ”

"Master!" Tao Rui's face changed, she knelt down, her body trembled slightly, her palms tightened, she grabbed the hem of Ying Concubine's blue skirt, and shook her head desperately, "The slave and maid are not, the slave and the maid have never thought of betraying the master!" ”

Ying Concubine looked at her coldly, Tao Rui's eyes were red, and she explained eagerly: "It's Shen Cairen, Shen Cairen buys the slave maid, and wants Lu Changzai to give birth to a dragon descendant at that time." The slave wants to ...... The slave maid thought that if the master lost the prince three years ago, the emperor would definitely hand over this dragon descendant to the master to raise! ”

"Nonsense!" Ying Concubine's eyes flashed suddenly, and she suddenly brushed away Taorui's arm, and stood up suddenly, the jade hairpin ring in her sideburns was crisp because of this action, and she rebuked sharply, "This palace has never lost that prince, he is now well raised in the queen's palace, that is the prince of this palace!" It's Hongu's! ”

"Master......" Tao Rui hugged Ying Concubine's thigh and muttered, her face frightened, a little afraid of her master's expression at this time.

"He is a child of the palace...... "Ying Concubine seemed to be unconscious, kept repeating, as if out of strength, her figure staggered, her arms were holding the dressing table in a daze, her eyes were in a trance, and she murmured in a low voice: "He is from the palace, and he is the child conceived and born in October by the palace, how can there be a mistake......

"It's the queen, who snatched the child from the palace!"

……

The next day, Wanfu greeted her, met Liu He on the palace road, and was invited to Yinshuang Zhai.

Lu Guiren is cautious, and the palace will not be extravagant, even if there is a reward from the emperor yesterday, only a few pieces are put on display, and the rest are put into the private treasury.

When Wanfu crossed the screen, she smelled the strong smell of bitter soup in the dormitory, and Lu Guiren was lying on his side in the bed, his eyes were slightly closed, his face was pale after giving birth, and his lips were not bloody, and he looked weak and weak.

Xu Shi heard the movement, she lifted her eyes with great difficulty, and saw Wanfu standing at the screen, her eyes lit up, and then because of this momentary excitement, her face turned strangely red, her thin expression trembled, and her chest coughed for a while.

Wanfu hurriedly walked over, helped her to lean on the pillow, ran her palm down her back, turned around and ordered someone to pour warm water, her face worried, "The Imperial Doctor has seen it, why is it so uncomfortable?" ”

"The doctor has been here, it's a small postpartum weakness, don't worry." Lu Guiren's voice was vain, she pressed Wanfu's hand, tears slowly accumulated in her eyes, she wanted to sit up straight, but because she didn't have half the strength, she reluctantly leaned on the pillow.

"Yesterday, thank you for saving my life...... she pulled Wanfu as if a drowning man had found the only piece of driftwood that could survive, her lips trembling with excitement, "I wouldn't know without you...... I don't know...... Will you survive......

Hot tears fell, and Wanfu's mood was complicated for a while, so she wiped her face with a handkerchief, "The most taboo after giving birth is depression, and since she has survived, she should live well." ”

"It's not my own work, I guess if I don't ask for it, the emperor will also protect you."

"No!" Lu Guiren's eyes were desolate, and he shook his head desperately, "The emperor won't, the emperor just wants this child, as for whether I live or die, how could he ever think about it!" ”

"Sister Lu is cautious!" Wanfu's eyes flashed slightly, and she quickly glanced out, and when she saw that there was no one, she lowered her voice, "Since the emperor has protected Sister Lu and canonized Sister Lu as a nobleman, he just wants Sister Lu to live, Sister Lu only needs to remember this, as for what the emperor thinks, it doesn't matter anymore." ”

Lu Guiren was so grief-stricken that he cried bitterly, his eyes swollen and red, "Wanfu, my heart is so bitter!" She hugged Wanfu's waist suddenly, and salty tears mixed with the bitter smell of decoction rubbed onto Wanfu's newly changed concubine-colored palace dress.

Wanfu didn't know how to comfort her, sighed silently, patted her back lightly with her palm, her thoughts drifted away, her eyes were stunned, "Everything will pass." ”

The voice was as soft as the wind, and it soon dispersed.

……

At noon, the imperial dining room sent lunch, Lu Guiren couldn't eat meat at the moment, she was afraid that Wanfu would not be used to eating, so she ordered someone to take a few delicious dishes, and then take some food that the Golden Jubilee Pavilion often takes.

Xu was crying bitterly, and Lu Guiren could barely smile on his face at this time.

She waved away and leaned back on the pillow, and Wanfu dressed her red and swollen eyes.

"I'm ......," Lu Guiren paused, "can I call you sister in the future?" ”

Wanfu was stunned and looked strangely at the half-lying woman, who seemed to be older than herself, regardless of age or position.

The corners of her clothes shook, it was the movement of Lu Guiren's palm, she closed her eyes, and couldn't see Wanfu's expression clearly, and when she saw her silent for a long time, she thought that she was unwilling, and said cautiously: "If you don't want to, you don't have to force it." ”

Wanfu couldn't help but remember that when she first arrived in Yinshuangzhai, Lu Guiren was still always there, and she was cautious in everything, for fear that there would be a little mistake, such a woman was enough to be in charge of the palace alone, and she didn't want to, but she was like herself in her heart, and she was a little girl in the end.

"If you will call, call it."

Lu Guiren curled the corners of his lips and really called her, "Sister Ling." ”

Wanfu was terrified for a moment, perhaps because she had served Lu Guiren, this voice was really weird. The corners of her eyes twitched, and she reluctantly responded.

"Actually, I called Sister Ling here today, in addition to thanking you, there is another thing." Lu Guiren paused slightly, "Is there anyone outside?" ”

Wanfu realized that she was about to say something important and told Qiandai to go outside and keep watch and let her continue.

This matter is very important, Lu Guiren lowered his voice, "Yesterday, I didn't fall by accident, but someone pushed me." ”

Wanfu chuckled in her heart, her willow eyebrows frowned, and as she thought, Lu Guiren's miscarriage was not an accident. Since it was not an accident, why didn't Lu Guiren explain it to the emperor at that time yesterday? Suddenly, she remembered the reward sent by the Qiankun Palace, and the one who should not have been promoted to the position of a nobleman.

"Do you know who it is?" Wanfu listened to her own question.

Lu Guiren smiled bitterly, "Who does my sister think it will be?" The one who can make the emperor not go to the bottom of the investigation, except for Ying Concubine is Ning Guifei. ”

Ying Concubine lost her son three years ago, and now the emperor favors her and lives in Chonghua Palace, so she is indeed very suspicious. But how could Concubine Ying do it so obviously, and with Concubine Ying's temperament, her purpose should be the eldest prince of Kunning Palace, why would she make a move on the unfavored Lu Guiren.

Yes, maybe someone used Ying Concubine as a target and secretly attacked Lu Guiren.

But will Ying Concubine really know nothing? On the one hand, there is a noble concubine who has a family background to rely on, and on the other hand, there is a concubine who has a deep old relationship with the emperor.

It was complicated, and before it was clarified, Wanfu did not dare to draw conclusions.

"You don't think much about it, it's the most important thing to take care of your body right now."

After lunch, Lu Guiren wanted Wanfu to stay, but it was not good to stay, and when the people left, she looked at the handkerchief on the table and was distracted, and a bitter smile appeared on her mouth, fortunately, she treated Ling Cairen well, at least she is not alone in the palace now.

The smile faded, and the hand gently stroked the flat lower abdomen, her child, the child she had been looking forward to for months, finally died in the battle of this deep palace.

There was a cold light in her eyes, she wouldn't let go of that person, definitely not.

……

Qiankun Palace

Chen Dehai quietly came in from outside the palace and offered a cup of hot tea to the imperial case, "Your Majesty, Lingcai has left Yinshuangzhai." ”

Li Xuanyin's hand paused slightly, there was no emotion on his face, and he said lightly: "Have you checked it out?" ”

The emperor's question made Chen Dehai have an ominous premonition, since yesterday Lu Guiren lost the dragon descendant in his womb, and the emperor was a favor and a promotion, he felt that something must be going to happen again, and sure enough, the emperor ordered him to thoroughly investigate the loss of Lu Guiren's son. I couldn't help but lament in my heart, all of them have holy graces, why did they toss like this, hurt the dragonborn, and pushed the emperor away in vain.

Chen Dehai lowered his head, for fear of provoking the emperor's anger, "It's the hand of the noble concubine, and the master of the concubine knows about it, but he doesn't let anyone stop him." ”

"Bang!"

The hot tea he had just served was waved to the ground, and the porcelain exploded, causing Chen Dehai's heart to tremble and he almost knelt down with his legs.

"The emperor is angry, don't be angry."

Li Xuanyin leaned back on the dragon chair, his face was as cold as ice, "Can the king of northern Henan go back?" ”

Chen Dehai was stunned and hurriedly said: "There are still more than ten days." ”

"Let him come to see me as soon as he returns to Beijing."

"Yes." Chen Dehai replied that although the emperor and the king of northern Henan were not brothers of the same mother, they played the closest game, and the king of northern Henan liked to follow the emperor when he was young, and he also stood up for the emperor in everything.

If the emperor's most trusted courtier in the court is who, I am afraid that there is only the king of northern Henan. At present, the left phase is in great power, and he is openly forming a party and engaging in personal interests in the DPRK and China, and Ning Guifei in the harem has such a thing, and sooner or later she will have to destroy herself.

……

Day by day is getting cooler and cooler, Wanfu wrapped in a thick cloak, went to Kunning Palace to say hello, said hello, if you are not tired, go to Yinshuang Zhai to accompany Lu Guiren. Lu Guiren has been in better spirits in recent days, and can say a few jokes, from the beginning of being careful with Wanfu everywhere, for fear of provoking her dislike, to now being clever and obedient, his temperament is very different from when he first entered the palace, and he is becoming more and more lively.

Concubine Zhuang knew that she was working hard, so she avoided greetings every day, and went to sit when she was free. Concubine Zhuang was generous and sent out as if she didn't want money, and Wanfu made a lot of money every time she went, and came back with a bunch of gold, silver and jewelry.

One day, when the two were talking, Concubine Zhuang remembered the pearls sent by the East China Sea, "Why don't you bring out the blood pearls I gave you before, make them into a bracelet, and insert them into your sleeves. ”

Wanfu was drinking tea, she choked violently when she heard the sound, a mouthful of tea squirted out, her face was flushed, Concubine Zhuang was startled by her reaction, leaned over and patted her on the back, "This tea is hot, you be careful." ”
