Ning Guifei's eyes flashed slightly, her face was faintly pale, but the corners of her mouth were still pulled, and she insisted: "No matter how weak her body is, it will not kill her if she kneels for a while and a half, how can she be so delicate." If it weren't for her struggle and refusal to obey this palace, why would she have lost the dragonborn in her womb. ”

Ning Guifei has always been domineering and arrogant, and the concubines and concubines have long seen it, but when they heard this justified prevarication, they couldn't help but jump their eyelids. In the current situation, if there is a new person, he should have begged for mercy with tears in his eyes, and no one has dared to quibble so unknowingly.

"Your Majesty!" At this time, Jiang Chang was asking for support, with a pale face, bloodless lips, sideburns hanging messily over his shoulders, and only a thin middle coat on his body, describing himself as pitiful and miserable.

Step by step, she forcibly supported the pain in her abdomen, approached slowly, bent her knees slightly, knelt in front of Li Xuanyin, and raised a face covered with tears.

"The concubine knows that the concubine has done too many wrong things these days, which makes the emperor dislike and disgusted. It wasn't until she lost the child that the concubine realized how stupid her former self was. ”

Jiang Chang choked up, her body trembled slightly from sobbing, she closed her eyes, and knocked heavily on her forehead, "The concubine knows her mistake, please ask the emperor to punish the concubine, and also ask the emperor to make the decision for the concubine's children!" ”

The emperor's hesitation also gave Ning Guifei a few hopes, and now, Jiang Chang gave her a heavy blow in these words, she clenched her handkerchief, and her armor dug into her skin/flesh, but her heart was not as sure as before, and she was even a little flustered.

She raised her eyes and saw that the emperor's eyes were looking at Jiang Changzai, who was kneeling on the ground, and this look was too familiar to her, and it was the expression that the emperor showed when he took pity on people. Her eyes flickered twice, and even a little frightened, and she desperately asked her to find a scapegoat.

Suddenly, she saw that Ling Cairen and Xu had promised to be among the people, and she hurriedly typed the draft and justified in a panic, "Your Majesty, the concubine did not intend to punish Jiang Chang. ”

"It's Ling Cairen who promises. It must be that Ling Cairen and Xu promised to argue with Jiang Chang and attract the punishment of the concubines, and his intention was to kill the dragon descendant in Jiang Chang's womb! ”

The more she spoke, the more determined she became, "Xu promised to have a long-standing relationship with Jiang Changzai because she was pregnant. And Ling Cai people are already jealous of Jiang Changzai, and these two must be making trouble from it! ”

The concubines present had no idea that such a play would happen, and some of them would think like this. In particular, the Lingcai people are the slaves and maids who were rescued by the Lingcai people, and only then do these things. If it has nothing to do with Lingcai people, who will believe it?

Lu Guiren glanced at Ning Guifei quietly, a cold color flashed in her eyes, and soon this coldness receded, replaced by worry, she secretly pulled Wanfu's sleeve, and her voice was full of uneasiness, "Sister Ling......"

Wanfu had already guessed that Concubine Ning would use her as a backing, but to her surprise, Jiang Wanyin's attitude after the loss of her son was a little smarter than before.

She patted Lu Guiren's hand and said comfortingly, "It's okay." ”

Xu promised to kneel out first, "The concubine just quarreled with Jiang Chang for a few words and gossip." The concubine swore to the sky, and the concubine never thought of harming Jiang Changzai! She raised her right hand tremblingly, and her slightly bulging lower abdomen showed her current body, and a pregnant concubine would not be severely punished even if she made a mistake, let alone just a small mistake.

In this way, all the suspicion fell on Wanfu.

Jiang Chang's eyes were red, he looked straight at Wanfu, and squeezed out two tears, "Sister, even though my sister was wrong in the past, but now you are the emperor's favorite concubine, and your position is much higher than mine, I only want to give birth to the child in my womb in peace, and I have never thought about fighting with you for anything, why do you still refuse to spare me......"

"Yes, Ling Cairen, I can't write Jiang characters with a single stroke, Jiang Changzai is also your sister-in-law, why do you treat her so cruelly, even the unborn child will not let go." Seeing that the spearhead was pointed at Ling Cairen, Ning Guifei naturally wanted to get rid of her suspicion as soon as possible and add a few more words of oil and vinegar.

Wanfu smiled lightly, "Punish Jiang Changzai, and hold Jiang Changzai to kneel for two hours, isn't it the noble concubine?" Why did the concubine Niangniang so quickly rush to get rid of the blame and blame the concubine for all the faults? ”

"Who else could you be?" Ning Guifei recognized Wanfu's mistake, for fear that the emperor would punish her, so she retorted again and again, "Xu promised to have a two-sentence dispute with Jiang Changzai, if you didn't come over, you had to save that minion, how could this palace punish the three of you!" You clearly mean it. ”

Wanfu pursed her lips and said without changing her face: "Guifei Niangniang's thoughts, the concubine will expect that the concubine Niangniang has been listening to the corner for a long time, and expects that the concubine Niangniang will be punished for the tongue of the three concubines, and it is expected that even if the concubine Niangniang hears from the palace people of Xianfu Palace, Jiang Changzai is unwell and should not kneel for a long time, but she will forcefully escort Jiang Changzai to kneel and be punished?" ”

"Concubines are really good at foresight."

Ning Guifei was dumbfounded, her eyes were so hot that she could burst into flames, this slut, clever words, when it fell into her hands in the future, she would definitely make her look good!

"Your Majesty, the concubine ......" Ning Guifei was red-eyed, and she wanted to ask again, but Li Xuanyin was impatient, and looked at her with a cold face, "Guifei Zhao, listened and acted in vain, did not repent, took away her title, and was demoted to the concubine position." ”

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Ning's eyes widened in disbelief, her face turned pale, in the past, no matter how big a mistake she made, the emperor would only lock her up, and she had never been punished so severely. She cried and begged, "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't mean it, Your Majesty!" ”

Li Xuanyin had no intention of staying any longer, he couldn't bear to press his eyebrow bone, and glanced at the queen, "Concubine Jiang lost her son, and she was given a special honor guard to send her back to the palace." ”

After that, he brushed his sleeves out of the side hall.

Concubine Jiang ......

The concubines present looked at each other, Jiang Chang won the emperor's pity for the loss of his son, and won the position of noble concubine, I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

……

At the end of a farce, Wanfu said goodbye to Lu Guiren, and Jiang Wanyin was reinstated, so that she no longer had the heart to talk to Lu Guiren about today's events, and the ending she was most unwilling to see happened. After all, the emperor still has a few old feelings for Jiang Wanyin, and Jiang Wanyin is indeed smart, knowing that at the last moment, he used the pain of losing his son to win the emperor's pity.

She went back to the Golden Jubilee Pavilion and lay down on the narrow couch by the window, without removing her shoes, and her whole body shrunk into a small ball by the window, she was a little cold, and even a little inexplicable disappointment.

The emperor was well aware of the grievances between her and Jiang Wanyin, but he still remembered Jiang Wanyin's loss of a son and gave her pity. So much so that everything she had planned before was in vain.

But judging from that position, Jiang Wanyin was his concubine, and his concubine lost a son, no matter what mistakes she had made before, at this time, she was left with pity, and the emperor was not wrong to appease him with his promotion.

Just like Lu Guiren, who was calculated to lose the dragon descendant, the edict of the promotion of the next day was sent. The king is like this, weighing the pros and cons, and never favoring one over the other.

It was because she had been favored too much these days, and she was so carried away that she forgot her original identity, what she was, but a plaything that the emperor had captured in her hand, and when she was bored, she teased her twice to relieve her boredom. It was she who was so proud that she elevated her status, blinded her eyes, and became more and more unable to see the way forward.

However, being able to quietly let Jiang Wanyin lose this child was the best result for her. Jiang Wanyin can't be favored, and he gets rid of it completely, just sooner or later.

Since the master knocked out the door of Kunning Palace, he was not distracted, and returned to the Golden Jubilee Pavilion, always sullen, and locked himself in the house when he entered the inner hall.

Afraid that something would happen to her master, Qiandai quietly lifted the beaded curtain, but saw that the master's clothes had not been changed, and his shoes had not been removed, and the whole person was huddled in a narrow couch, a small lump, like an abandoned cat.

She felt a pang in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for her master.

Jiang Guifei was reinstated, and the master's heart was definitely uncomfortable. The holy favor is impermanent, the king's heart is unpredictable, the emperor's move is to appease the harem, but also to appease the Jiang concubine, but he has not thought about it for the master.

The emperor treats his master well, but because his master is born with good appearance and his temperament is very different from the dignified and decent concubines in the harem.

But on other days, the master is no longer beautiful, the color is declining and he loves to run, and the emperor treats the master, and he can have a few points of the old favors and friendships. She knew that the king's heart was like this, and she was not afraid of the woman's cruelty in this harem, but she was afraid that the woman would be in love with the king.

……

In the late afternoon, the Qiankun Palace sent a message that the little eunuch had arrived at the Golden Jubilee Pavilion.

Wanfu leaned back on the soft couch, eating the lotus seeds peeled by Qiandai, and when she heard the words, her eyebrows were raised slightly, and she glanced at it, "I remember that the person who used to spread the word was Gonggong Chen. ”

The little eunuch got the order, and thought that Ling Cairen was lenient and had a good deal, but how could he see that something was wrong, the emperor sent Ling Cairen to Qiankun Palace, and Ling Cairen didn't seem to be happy.

"Talented master, Gonggong Chen is serving the emperor in front of the palace, and he has been instructed not to welcome the master to accompany him in front of the palace."

Wanfu casually ate two lotus seeds, wiped the crumbs from her fingertips with a handkerchief, and smiled faintly, "Yes, Gonggong Lao went back to tell the emperor, the concubine was cold before noon and could not serve the king, if the emperor wants to summon someone to serve, just go to Jiang Guifei." ”

The little eunuch was so shocked that his jaw almost fell, and when he went back to spread the word, the emperor had to take off his head. He didn't dare, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and laughed dryly, "Talented master......"

Wanfu directly raised her hand to interrupt him, and helped Qiandai to get up, "The master is tired, you can retreat." ”

……

Qiankun Palace

It was late at night, and Chen Dehai took the tea and respectfully presented it to the imperial case.

He glanced at the emperor's face, and several times, he didn't know how to deal with the matter of Ling Cairen.

Since the emperor came back from Kunning Palace, although his face was flat, the air pressure in this palace was always a little low, counting nine cold days, even if he was born with an earth dragon, it also made him hairy.

In particular, in the late afternoon, when two ministers came to do business, the emperor rarely scolded them for splitting their heads and covering their faces, and reprimanded them so much that they almost knelt on the ground. It wasn't until the emperor sent him to the Golden Jubilee Pavilion to deliver a message that he understood the reason.

The emperor restored Jiang Guifei, presumably Ling Cai was angry in his heart.

Who in the harem didn't know that Ling Cai was not compatible with Jiang Guifei, who called Jiang Guifei capable and pregnant with a dragon descendant. Although it is true that she did not open her mind and did some stupid things during pregnancy, but today's stubble seems to have woken up Jiang Guifei, and the crying and begging in the side hall and the loss of the dragon seed have not fallen after all, and there is a family that is intertwined there, how can the emperor not take care of and pity him, and the restoration is also understandable.

But this is not a good thing for the talented people. That day, there was a big disturbance in Xianfu Palace, and Jiang Guifei couldn't tell how to be jealous and hateful to Ling Cairen, who had a miscarriage today, and did not pull Ling Cairen down, and she was only afraid that Ling Cairen would not have a good life in the future.

It is expected that the emperor does not care about talented people at all, but the king's decision-making is useless to explain to a woman.

The emperor is the leader of the Ninety-Five, and everyone flatters him, and even if he has the heart, he can't pull down this face. I'm afraid that I will wait for the talented people to come and ask for it, and then push the boat down the river, pretending to explain the overall situation.

The emperor was able to open his mouth and tell him to spread the word about the talented people, and he had already made the biggest concession, but the talented people did not know what to do, and they dared to say such things! The emperor's attitude towards Jiang Guifei and Ling Cairen is obvious to all in the harem, and Ling Cairen is full of saints, and Jiang Guifei will not be able to catch up with him no matter what.

Li Xuanyin glanced at the tea presented, the red pen in his hand paused slightly, his face was pale, and he said casually: "Are people here?" ”

Chen Dehai's heart was stunned, he couldn't hide!

He lowered his head and said, "Back to the emperor, Ling Cairen suffered from a cold before noon and is sick......

"Really sick?" Li Xuanyin swiped his pen suddenly, and his face turned cold for a moment.

Chen Dehai dared to say any more, and knelt on the ground, for fear that the emperor would be angry because of his talents. The emperor will not punish Ling Cairen, but he may not be, "The emperor is angry!" ”

"Can the Golden Jubilee Pavilion invite a doctor?" Li Xuanyin rubbed his fingers, and his face became more and more ugly.

Chen Dehai had already inquired about Ling Cairen's nonsense, saying that he was sick, but he did not invite a doctor. Isn't this directly obvious, is it angry with the emperor!

He really can't make it up, Ling Cai is not afraid of the emperor, he doesn't dare to commit this crime of bullying the king.

Chen Dehai didn't answer for a long time, Li Xuanyin glanced at him, so frightened that Chen Dehai hurriedly lowered his head, gritted his teeth and replied directly: "Your Majesty, after what happened during the day, I'm afraid I didn't react, and I am uncomfortable!" ”

Li Xuanyin's hand tightening the wrench, with a straight face, reprimanded coldly: "I am the emperor of this world, not her alone, and she is not the only woman in this harem, she wants me to surround her all day long!" ”

"Oh, Your Majesty." Chen Dehai slapped his mouth, "It's a slave who is stupid, and that's not what a slave thinks about talent." ”

"And what does she mean?" Li Xuanyin threw the fold in his hand onto the imperial case, which frightened Chen Dehai into a clever situation, and listened to the emperor angrily reprimand, "She just resented in her heart that she had restored the position of the Jiang family." I didn't blame her, what else did she want me to do about that minion? Let the Jiang family lose their son for no reason, and let the harem feel cold? Does she think of me as her one-of-a-kind emperor? Just by sending and calling, she is really so bold that she dares to show me a face! ”

Chen Dehai listened to the emperor's thunderous anger, and at the same time, he said yes. I was horrified in my heart, the emperor has always been happy and not angry, but this is the first time that a concubine has complained so much like a resentful woman, and it is indeed rare, and this talented person is indeed capable.

After Li Xuanyin finished speaking, he also realized that he was complaining too much, coughed lightly, and his face was still ugly, "That's it, rest in Qiankun Palace tonight." I want to see how long she will mess with me! ”

Chen Dehai silently complained in his heart for Ling Cairen, who the emperor called to sleep, it was the emperor who said, if Ling Cairen came to Qiankun Palace crying tonight to beg the emperor to take back his life, it would be considered trouble. is so silent, it is clear that the emperor sings a one-man show, unilaterally getting angry, and when did Ling Cairen make trouble.

But he didn't dare to say this, he was a person who served the emperor, and every word he said naturally had to be in line with the emperor's wishes.

"Your Majesty, the servant thinks that it is precisely because of the emperor's considerations that the talented people did not come over tonight. The situation of Jiang Guifei is obvious to all the masters of the harem, and if the emperor does not express his position, it will chill people's hearts. It is precisely because of this understanding that Ling Cai people do not want to embarrass the emperor. But I was also uncomfortable, afraid of going to Qiankun Palace, just afraid of making the emperor even more dilemma, so I pretended to be sick. ”

The dim candlelight reflected the walls made of gold and jade, and the hall was quiet for a while, and Chen Dehai buried his head and did not say more.

The emperor has his own thoughts, and the emperor does not say anything, but listens to his words. In the end, at present, the emperor is still willing to spoil Ling Cairen, just waiting for him to find an excuse for Ling Cairen. Regardless of whether this is the case or not, as long as the emperor is happy, the emperor thinks that this is the case.

As for Ling Cairen, he believes that Ling Cairen is setting up the emperor again! The emperor's fire had to be released, and according to the wisdom of the talented people, how could he quarrel with the emperor because of such a trivial matter, lose his holy favor, and make it difficult for him to move an inch in the harem.

If he had guessed correctly, Ming'er would have come to the emperor to coax the emperor, and the emperor would not only not blame the talented people, but would have felt even more pity because the talented people had suffered from both sides.

After a long time, Li Xuanyin had eased her expression and said casually, "Can she be as sensible as you say?" ”

Chen Dehai hurriedly opened his mouth to respond, "The servants can see that the people of Lingcai are sincerely considering the emperor in the overall situation. Otherwise, the last time I went back to Xianfu Palace, Ling Cai people would not say a word and were willing to be punished, and they also begged Concubine Zhuang Niangniang to calm the public opinion of the previous dynasty. Presumably, Ling Cairen regards the emperor more seriously than anything else in his heart, and does not want to embarrass the emperor! ”

This last sentence was completely slapped on the horse's buttocks.

Li Xuanyin's heart was very happy, but his face was not obvious, and he remembered that day, when the woman begged him in the palace to do something on this imperial case, he actually had a little intention. It is undeniable that this woman is very good at pleasing him.

Li Xuanyin flicked his sleeves and stood up, this action surprised Chen Dehai, in the middle of the night, he actually thought that the emperor was going to find Ling Cairen.

Li Xuanyin glanced at the sky outside, and twisted the white jade wrench of his thumb with his fingertips, "That's it, rest in Qiankun Palace tonight." ”

"Yes." Chen Dehai was about to send someone to serve the emperor to wash and change clothes, and remembered one more thing, "Your Majesty, the slave who was taken away by the Lingcai people is Yunying of Xianfu Palace." ”

Yun Ying was originally the person arranged by the emperor in Xianfu Palace, and the situation was chaotic at that time, and Chen Dehai was also in a fog, who would care who that slave was. It wasn't until late afternoon that Yun Ying sent a letter to the people below, and he knew that the person Jiang Guifei punished was actually Yun Ying. This further cleared the suspicion of Ling Cairen, Yun Ying was the emperor's eyeliner, how could she conspire with Ling Cairen to harm the dragon heir in Jiang Guifei's womb.

Li Xuanyin lowered his eyes, and knocked his finger bones twice on the imperial case, "Since you have gone to the Golden Jubilee Pavilion, you will stay there and serve Ling Cai people wholeheartedly." ”

Chen Dehai was startled and bowed his head in response. Lingcai people are cautious, and there are three close servants around them, and now there is one more Yunying, so what Lingcai people do and say, won't they all fall into the eyes of the emperor.

Although the emperor has more or less intervened in the palaces, the masters are still their own people. Yun Ying's entry into the Golden Jubilee Pavilion also means that the emperor is close to Lingcai and intervenes, and he cannot understand the emperor's intentions.

If he only knew that his personal girl was a close confidant of the emperor, I don't know what he would think. He silently prayed for the emperor, and according to the wisdom of the talented people, if Yun Ying had been serving him for a long time, how could he not guess it?

For a while, he couldn't tell whether the emperor's move was to know the current situation of the Lingcai people, or whether it was to keep an eye on the Lingcai people and not to think anything about the harem.
