Wen Po has delivered many women, pinched a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Ying Concubine's forehead, and commanded in an orderly manner, "Quickly feed the master some soup and save your strength." ”

When Wanfu stepped into the door of the Chaolu Palace, she heard the painful screams from the women in the hall, which was heartbreaking, and frightened her heart, and she subconsciously stopped her steps.

This is the third time she has seen the pain of a woman's childbirth, Wen Xiurong was pushed down to give birth to a miscarriage, Xu Wanyi desperately gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, and now Ying Concubine fell down the steps and gave birth prematurely for more than a month. She listened to the hoarse cries inside, and suddenly became a little frightened. If she is pregnant, will she give birth to this child safely?

"Sister Ling." When Wen Xiurong came out of the hall, he saw Wanfu in a trance, and opened his mouth to call softly.

Wanfu turned her face and saw Wen Xiurong holding Princess Shunning.

She was surprised, "Why did you arrive so quickly?" I remember that Guanju Palace is still a long way from Chonghua Palace. ”

Wen Xiurong paused, took Princess Shunning's hand, and looked a little embarrassed, "This matter is a long story. ”

……

Wen Xiurong took Shunning to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers and build the snow. Shunning is playful, and when he has had enough of the snow, he will go ice skating on the lake. Now that it is spring, the ice is melting, Wen Xiurong is afraid that something will happen to her, so she leads Shunning to walk on the ice at the edge.

Bypassing Lanyue Lake, I heard the sound of quarrels in the long pavilion in the distance. Immediately after, I saw Concubine Zhao pushing at Concubine Ying, Concubine Ying had a big belly, was caught off guard, stepped on the air, and rolled straight down the steps. Even though there were palace people under him, he was still not lightly injured, and a terrible pool of blood flowed from the ground.

"A-Niang, Xi'er is afraid."

In the Chaolu Palace, from time to time there were screams of pain from women, the blood in the basins was shocking, and the heavy smell of blood surrounded the wings of the nose, almost making people sick.

Wen Xiurong hugged Shunning's trembling little body. Only in A-Niang's arms did Shunning feel stable, Shunning hugged Wen Xiurong tightly, crying and trembling her voice, "A-Niang, Xi'er wants to go back to Guanju Palace, A-Niang take Xi'er back, Xi'er doesn't want to stay here......"

According to the rules of the palace, Wen Xiurong and Shunning had seen the situation at that time, and they were bound to stay and wait for the emperor to ask questions.

"You take Xi'er back to Guan Ju Palace."

Li Xuanyin came in from outside the hall, looked at the little man who was hugging Wen Xiurong tightly, looked coldly, and gave an explanation first.

The emperor's face was gloomy as water, and Chen Dehai, who was waiting by his side, did not dare to come out.

As soon as the little eunuch finished delivering the letter, the emperor's face immediately changed. Not long after the death of the little prince, the two pregnant concubines in the harem had accidents one after another, and it was no wonder that the emperor was not angry.

Seeing the arrival of the emperor, everyone in the palace bowed down and bowed.

Li Xuanyin leaned over and touched the top of Shunning's hair, Shunning looked at his father in fear, tears fell from his eyes, "Father, ......"

When Xiao Tuanzi cried, it only made people's hearts ache.

Wen Xiurong said: "Your Majesty, the palace people of the concubines also saw the dispute between Concubine Zhao and Concubine Ying in the long pavilion, and the concubines left them for questioning by the emperor. ”

Li Xuanyin nodded and glanced at the concubines in the hall.

Wen Xiurong took Shunning's hand, gently coaxed a few words, and took the little man out of the hall.

The emperor values Princess Shunning, and naturally also values Wen Xiurong, the adoptive mother, which is an honor that no one else can get. This situation can't help but make people think about what would happen to the harem in the future if Concubine Ying gave birth to this child safely. Will the emperor love the dragon heir born to Ying Concubine, and pamper Ying Concubine more than the noble concubine who is strong in the Holy Family.

Rather than these curiosities, they would prefer to have an abortion with their concubines. Ying Concubine felt that she had a sacred heart and had a condescending attitude towards everyone, but she didn't know how different she was from them, and she was not inferior to the noble concubine who was born as a palace maid.

Soon, the queen also arrived at the Chaolu Palace.

The queen's lips were pale, her face was tired, and her eyes were obviously tired and black, and she was very sick with cold and cold these days.

As soon as she entered the palace, the queen lifted her skirt, coughed heavily, and respectfully knelt down to Li Xuanyin, lowering her eyes and pleading guilty: "The concubine's illness has not been cured, and she has neglected to manage the harem, causing an accident to the two pregnant concubines in the harem, please ask the emperor to punish her." ”

Speaking of this kind of thing, it is not to blame the queen. Who doesn't know that in the harem, Concubine Zhao is domineering, and she should be a concubine. When the two collided in one place, it was the tip of the needle against Maimang, and something would happen sooner or later.

Li Xuanyin flicked his fingers and looked at the queen with a calm face, "The queen is not in charge very much, causing the harem dragon heirs to have accidents one after another, and they will be imprisoned in Kunning Palace for three months as a punishment!" ”

The crowd was silent, and the quail hung its head, not daring to make the slightest movement.

Recently, there have indeed been too many rights and wrongs in the harem, and these rights and wrongs seem to be beneficial to the queen.

However, who would have expected that Concubine Zhao and Concubine Ying would have a dispute at this time. The concubine is about to give birth, shouldn't she stay in the palace and wait for delivery? Why do you have to go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers?

Comb Liu's palms tightened, crying and begging to kneel in front of Li Xuanyin, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, Niangniang is busy with harem affairs day and night. Concubine Zhao and the master of the concubine relied on the holy favor and never put the mother in their eyes. Niangniang has been seriously ill with a cold recently, so how can she be nervous and go to take care of Concubine Zhao and the master of the concubine. Niangniang is really wronged! ”

"The emperor shouldn't have punished his mother so heavily, the emperor ......"

"Enough!" The queen frowned, and suddenly rebuked the comb.

"!" Comb Liu cried and hugged the queen, "The slave maid can't see that Niangniang is so wronged anymore, Niangniang is in charge of the six palaces, but Concubine Zhao Niangniang and the master of the concubine, when will they have more than half of the respect for Niangniang!" ”

The queen closed her eyes, "Take the comb out of the willow!" ”

"! Slave don't, mother! The two mothers-in-law grabbed the arm of the comb willow and half-dragged out of the outer hall, until the voice gradually disappeared, and everyone looked at each other.

"Comb Liu is disrespectful and disrespectful, and when the concubine returns to the palace, he will teach the rules well." The queen's back was straight, her face remained unchanged, and her forehead knocked to the ground calmly, "The concubine is not managing the six palaces well, and she is willing to accept the punishment." ”

When the farce ended, Li Xuanyin couldn't bear to look at the queen anymore, and she didn't care about the minion, pinched her eyebrows, and asked, "How is Concubine Zhao?" ”

Concubine Zhao is a shallow month, and she hasn't heard of much movement until now, so she guesses that there is no major incident. Chen Dehai was about to reply, when he saw the imperial doctor who had taken Concubine Zhao's pulse come out of the hall with a bitter face, and his heart chuckled, and he had an ominous premonition.

When Imperial Physician Gao arrived in front of the saint, he knelt down with trembling legs, and his voice was trembling and unsteady, "Back to the emperor, Concubine Zhao is just ...... It's just that I have menstruation, and I am not pregnant. ”

The concubines in the hall suddenly widened their eyes and subconsciously clenched their palms.

Concubine Zhao turned out to be fakely pregnant!

Who gave her the guts to make a joke about the dragon heir.

This is a great crime of deception!

Chapter 76

Wan Fu narrowed her eyes, and thought of Wen Xiurong who had just left. A few months ago, Wen Xiurong designed Concubine Zhao and copied Guzhi with her in Qixiang Palace for a period of time. Concubine Zhao and Concubine Ying had an argument, Wen Xiurong happened to be present, today, is it a game she laid down.

When Imperial Doctor Gao's words fell, Qing Rui was so shocked that she suddenly burst into tears, knelt down in front of Li Xuanyin, and cried: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao is pretending to be pregnant, and she even wants to harm the pregnant master, what is the intention!" The master's birth situation is unknown, and he suffers such innocent suffering, so he begs the emperor to be the master of the master, and begs the emperor to be the master of the master! ”

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Zhao struggled, waved away the palace maid who was supporting her with one hand, glared at Qing Rui viciously, pinched the veil tightly and knelt down, "Your Majesty, the concubine is really pregnant, it must be this imperial doctor......" Concubine Zhao pointed to the kneeling imperial physician Gao, "It must be that this imperial physician is not proficient in medical skills, I don't know who instigated it, and actually slandered the concubine for having a menstrual affair!" ”

"The concubine begs the emperor, and begs the emperor to call the imperial physician Zhao of the imperial hospital to enter the palace, the concubine's body has been nourished by him, and the concubine cannot be pregnant!"

Concubine Zhao has the left prime minister's mansion to rely on, flying and domineering in the harem, when has she ever been so embarrassed, she trembled, begging a man to look at her, to pity her for many years, and to have a soft heart.

She grabbed the corner of the dragon robe, and the tears that she had never wanted to leave were falling at this time. She didn't want to be seen by the concubines in the harem who were embarrassed, but at this time she didn't care about the eyes of others, and she didn't know why Concubine Ying fell down the steps.

Li Xuanyin lowered his eyes, his face was terrifying, and he didn't have any pity, and brushed away Concubine Zhao's hands that were grasping the corner of the dragon robe, "Pass on Imperial Doctor Zhao." ”

Concubine Zhao's eyelashes trembled rapidly, looked at the emperor's cold face, and sat down on the ground limply.

There was a strange silence in the hall, and even the palace people who walked did not feel soft, and it was in this silence that a woman's screams came from the inner hall, followed by Wen Po urging anxiously, "Master, work hard!" Master, if you work harder, you'll be out soon! ”

Wanfu's palms pinched out cold sweat, her face turned slightly pale with the scream, not only her, but also the concubines in the palace who had never given birth were trembling because of this heart-rending shout. There is no one in the harem who doesn't want the dragon heir, but after seeing the difficulties of production with his own eyes, the dragon heir is prohibitive.

After being silent for a long time, the queen suddenly asked Concubine Zhao, "What is going on between you and Concubine Ying?" ”

Concubine Zhao was arrogant, and she and Concubine Ying had never been at odds, and it was both unexpected and reasonable that the two of them could quarrel to the point of losing both. However, since the queen asked, everyone might as well come and see the excitement.

Concubine Zhao is usually rude, but today she lost face and was unwilling to reply to the queen's high-minded questions. But the emperor is here, and she can't help but defend herself.

"The concubine went to the imperial garden to pick snow as before, and when she went back, she happened to meet Ying Concubine. The concubine and the concubine did not say a word. She ridiculed the concubines that even if they were pregnant, they would not be favored, and the emperor would never be reinstated to the position of concubine......"

Concubine Zhao paused, then looked at the man.

Li Xuanyin's face was cold and did not respond.

What she has done, she knows in her own heart. His repeated indulgence only made her worse.

Concubine Zhao has served the emperor for many years, and no matter how arrogant she is, she can see the emperor's current attitude. The emperor was too disappointed in her, so disappointed that even if she was pregnant and gave birth to a dragon heir, the emperor was unwilling to restore her.

Concubine Zhao realized this, and her heart fell suddenly, like a big stone, weighing her breathlessly.

She closed her eyes lightly, shed a tear, and continued: "The concubine was angry for a while, so she wanted to teach the concubine a lesson. The concubine broke the tourmaline bracelet given by the emperor and asked the concubine to pick it up, so that no piece of broken jade would be left behind. ”

Seeing the emperor's increasingly heavy face, Ling Shuang crawled to Li Xuanyin's feet and begged bitterly, "The emperor must believe in Niangniang, Niangniang has never thought of harming Ying Concubine." The slave waits by the mother's side, and knows the mother's temper best. Niangniang knows that the emperor values the child Ying Concubine, how can he harm Ying Concubine! ”

"It's really a joke, who in the harem doesn't know, who the emperor favors, and Concubine Zhao likes to bully whom. No one knows this better than Concubine Ling. ”

The concubine who spoke was Chu Baolin of Haoyuexuan, Chu Baolin was usually silent, but at this time he was willing to come out and step on Concubine Zhao.

After she mentioned this, the eyes of others looked at Wanfu. Since beating Wanfu on the throne, she was favored for a while, Concubine Zhao really didn't look at others, and picked Wanfu's thorns.

Wanfu's holy favor is strong, and she has become the target of everyone, and the concubines in the harem will mention it as if they have nothing to do with her. Wanfu's eyes moved slightly, and when she saw the man's gaze, she curled her mouth at the right time, and looked at the man pitifully, as if she was afraid, and quickly retracted her eyes, but the tightly twisted veil revealed the grievances of her low status.

Li Xuanyin clenched his fingers, and when he saw it, even a palace maid could bully her. And what about the places he can't see? Concubine Zhao was a bully, and he knew her temperament, but because Zuo Xiang treated her lightly again and again, she herself did not repent.

Chen Dehai could see the emperor's face clearly, and Concubine Zhao had to have a limit to her strength, and she touched the emperor's scales again and again, and sooner or later she was asking for hardship. In this harem, only the noble concubines are sensible, and they can get the dragon beard and fight the concubines, so they are really the most suitable candidates for the favorite concubines.

Chu Baolin's words were equivalent to adding another crime to Concubine Zhao. Lingshuang kept kowtowing in a panic, "Niangniang has done something wrong before, but Niangniang really didn't want to harm the child in Ying Concubine's womb this time." ”

Lingshuang knocked her forehead and broke the skin, she pulled Concubine Zhao's sleeve, "Niangniang, explain to the emperor quickly, Niangniang is not wrong this time, how can she be wronged!" ”

Concubine Zhao looked at the man standing distractedly, she straightened her back, just like the original arrogance, she was the concubine of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, even if she begged, she couldn't grovel, and bent her back, "The concubine didn't think about harming the concubine, the emperor believes in the concubine." ”

"Concubine Zhao didn't think about it, could it be that Concubine Ying didn't care about her stomach and fell down the steps? It's funny. "The concubines who had been bullied by Concubine Zhao saw that Concubine Zhao was unlucky at this time, so they inevitably fell into the ground.

Chu Baolin said again: "Didn't Wen Xiurong leave two palace people present? Let's hear what the two of them have to say. ”

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the two little girls kneeling on the ground.

The two palace maids went to the palace at the end of the year, and Wen Xiurong saw that the two of them were young and happened to be playing with Princess Shunning, so she always took them with her. Wen Xiurong is kind and kind, and Princess Shunning also treats these two palace maids as playmates, and lives more arbitrarily in the Guanju Palace than ordinary slaves.

At this time, they were suddenly pointed at themselves, and the two girls trembled and said, "Wen Xiurong was afraid that the little princess would step on the ice and fall into the water, so he ordered the slave maid to protect the little princess." The slave and maid walked to the rockery, raised their eyes and saw Concubine Zhao and the concubine master in the long pavilion, the slave and maid did not think much about it, and was about to help the little princess, when she saw the concubine master turn around, somehow, she rolled down the steps. ”

"Can you see clearly, is it Ying Concubine pushed by Concubine Zhao, or is it Ying Concubine who fell down the steps herself?" The queen asked.

The little girl's lips turned white with fright, she thought hard for a moment, and glanced at Concubine Zhao who was kneeling beside her, her lips trembled, and she didn't know what to do, so she was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"You, what do you mean by looking at this palace like this?" Concubine Zhao gritted her teeth with hatred, it was clear that Ying Concubine fell down the steps herself, this looked at her like this, wouldn't she want to slander herself!

"Concubine Zhao spares her life!" The little palace maid trembled, and cold sweat came out layer by layer, because she was extremely afraid of her.

The queen glanced at Concubine Zhao, "If you two don't tell the truth, you will be escorted to the Criminal Division and interrogated strictly!" ”

"Don't, the slave said, the slave said, it's just ......" The other little girl swallowed her saliva, and also subconsciously aimed at Concubine Zhao, and said quickly: "It's just that the slave and maid are afraid to say it, and tomorrow the slave and maid will lose their lives!" ”

The queen looked at the emperor hesitantly, not only the queen, but also the concubines present were waiting for the emperor's attitude. If Concubine Zhao pushes Concubine Ying and harms the dragon heir in Concubine Ying's belly, how should the emperor deal with Concubine Zhao? Is it because of the left phase, and you take Concubine Zhao lightly? Moreover, Concubine Zhao's fake pregnancy has not yet been clarified, and it is not too much to murder the dragon heir, bully the king, and put it on the side of others!

Li Xuanyin looked away from Concubine Zhao's face indifferently, and her voice was extremely cold, "You two truthfully explain that someone dares to harm you two, I will never be spared!" ”

Jun didn't joke, the two little palace maids got this assurance, and Concubine Zhao, at this time, no longer cared what others said, she looked at Li Xuanyin in despair, she had done too many wrong things, so that the emperor had completely lost trust in her. No matter what the truth is, in the emperor's heart, it was she who pushed the concubine herself.

Concubine Zhao smiled miserably, and her straight back was also a little bent.

The two little palace maids told what they saw at the time, which was the same as everyone guessed, and Concubine Zhao pushed Ying Concubine.

"It's not like that! Didn't Wen Xiurong teach you that! Niangniang didn't push Ying Concubine, it was Ying Concubine who fell down the steps by herself! Lingshuang struggled to defend Concubine Zhao, "Your Majesty, you have to believe Niangniang, Niangniang has done foolish things before, but today, Niangniang is really innocent and wronged!" ”
