Chapter 210: Confession
Xu Lianyi didn't believe Qiao Jingyuan, although the shepherd said that it was ordered by Qiao Yindi, but she still felt that this matter was Qiao Jingyuan's ghost, and this medicine was also sent by her, but she found a scapegoat for herself, and asked the shepherd to make it clear.
But the fake pregnancy still made her uneasy, she didn't want to deceive Mu Yunting, but by mistake, now the people of the whole country know that she is pregnant, if she says that she is fake pregnant at this time, the emperor will be extremely disappointed.
Mu Yunting still came to Weiyang Palace to see Xu Lianyi every day, but recently Xu Lianyi saw that he wanted to hide, and even persuaded him to accompany Qiao Yindi more, which made him very puzzled. "Queen, what's wrong with you, is there anything uncomfortable?" Mu Yunting hugged her shoulder and greeted with concern.
"No, don't worry about it, Your Majesty, just thinking that my sister has no one to take care of, and her family is not here, I want to be lonely and lonely, so let you accompany her more. Xu Lianyi looks empathetic and well-behaved, and she is very likable.
Although she explained it like this, Mu Yunting still felt that something was strange. So she came to the Taiyi Pavilion to ask Taiyi Liu about her current situation.
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured, the pulse of the two mothers has been very stable recently, I am afraid that the mother is pregnant" irritability, this is a common thing, it will be fine in a few days, and please relax the emperor. Doctor Liu comforted him.
After listening to Imperial Physician Liu's words, his heart relaxed, so he sent someone to send a large number of rewards and precious medicinal materials to Imperial Physician Liu, and told him: "The two mothers also ask Imperial Physician to be more attentive, if they give birth successfully, I will be grateful." ”
"The emperor is serious, this is what I should do. Imperial Physician Liu accepted the reward with a weak heart, and left after thanking the saint, not daring to stay for another second, for fear that he would leak his mouth.
After listening to Imperial Physician Liu's words, Mu Yunting deliberately took a day to accompany Xu Lianyi to enjoy the scenery, afraid that she would be tired, so the two walked around the palace and stayed by her side all day, just like when they were children. In his heart, no matter how big this country is, it can't be as big as this girl who has been by his side since he was a child.
In the evening, the rare fire cloud hung in the air, and as soon as the wind blew, the fire cloud immediately became formal, and the state was myriad, which was staggering.
Mu Yunting took her shoulder, Xu Lianyi took the initiative to rest her head on his shoulder, and the two enjoyed this beautiful scenery together. "You see, our country is vast and picturesque. If you are pregnant with a prince, I will pass on the crown prince to him when he is born, train him well since he was a child, and give way to him when he reaches my age, and take you to the end of the world. ”
He envied not only the feelings of his father, the queen and the queen mother, but also their attitude towards life. He originally wanted to love only this one woman for the rest of his life, but he owed Qiao Yindi, so he had to give her status and honor, but the person standing next to him was his own destination, and he knew it since he was a child.
Listening to Mu Yunting's expectations and plans for the future, Xu Lianyi could no longer bear the fear and guilt in her heart, and she was stunned and knelt down. Pulling the corner of Mu Yunting's clothes, he cried bitterly.
"What's the matter, why did you kneel down? It's cold on the ground, hurry up. After saying that, he hugged the little woman with tears on her face and stood up.
"Your Majesty, it's my fault, I didn't conceive your child, and what I said before was a lie to you. Xu Lianyi said hesitantly while crying.
"What's the matter, you make it clear?" Mu Yunting was still stuck in the happy plan just now, he couldn't believe it, and asked with shocked eyes.
"I only found out a few days ago. Someone poisoned the goat's milk I used, causing symptoms of pregnancy, at that time Mrs. Liu was not sure if there was joy, I was too excited to tell you, and then you gave amnesty to the world, Mrs. Liu had to choose to hide the truth, that day I fell and did not feel it, and asked Mrs. Liu privately before telling me the truth. She cried and said in fits and starts.
Listening to her words, Mu Yunting felt that he had fallen directly from heaven, and the huge sense of disparity made him deeply disappointed, and he sighed and didn't speak.
Xu Lianyi panicked when she saw that he didn't speak, I don't know if he was angry or what's wrong, the more anxious he was, the more fierce he cried. Tears flowed uncontrollably, and in order not to disturb him and annoy him, she had to choke back and shed tears.
Feeling the trembling of the people around her, Mu Yunting hurriedly turned to look at her, only to see that she was choking, her face was full of tears, the moisture in her eyes made her eyelashes wet, and her face was red from forbearance. He took her into his arms and comforted her softly.
"Don't cry, it's okay, it's inevitable that there will be a sense of disparity, I don't blame you, and I'm not angry, isn't there a next time if I don't get pregnant this time? Mu Yunting gently patted her back to help her breathe, and comforted her gently.
Listening to his words of relief, Xu Lianyi was much better, and finally stopped crying after a while. Mu Yunting asked, "What's the matter with poisoning? There are still people who dare to poison things used by the queen." ”
The shepherd told me that it was a prescription sent by Qiao Jingyuan, but Qiao Jingyuan told her that it was Qiao Yindi's goat milk. Xu Lianyi told the truth.
"Qiao Yindi, is it her?" Mu Yunting asked. "I don't think this matter is that simple, Qiao Jingyuan dared to personally send the prescription in the past, and it must have been concluded that we would point the finger at Qiao Yindi, and she was my cousin, and no one would suspect her. But Qiao Yindi was weak in bed in those days, and she didn't have the opportunity to poison herself, for fear that there would be someone else in this matter. Xu Lianyi analyzed.
Mu Yunting also thinks that this matter is not so simple, Qiao Yindi is already pregnant, why would she still find ways to harm the queen? This is not quite in line with common sense.
In the end, the two discussed it as if Xu Lianyi did not tell Mu Yunting about the fake pregnancy, if the emperor did not know about this matter, someone would definitely try their best to let him know. The two returned to the palace quietly, everything was as if nothing had happened, and it wouldn't be long before someone should be in a hurry.
Still the same as before, Mu Yunting came to Weiyang Palace every day to accompany Xu Lianyi, on the one hand, to comfort her emotions, and on the other hand, to protect Xu Lianyi. He was relieved on the day of the false pregnancy, and it seems that fate has not arrived. On the one hand, it also wants to lure the culprits out of the hole.
The husband and wife acted together, wanting to find out who was the initiator, no matter who it was in the end, Mu Yunting decided not to spare her. dared to poison the queen's daily necessities, there are no rules in his eyes, and there is no national law. If this continues, the next person to be killed will not know who it is.
One day, Qiao Jingyuan came to Weiyang Palace, and it happened that Mu Yunting was also there. Seeing the person standing outside the door first, Mu Yunting deliberately raised his voice and said to Xu Lianyi: "Queen, if you are pregnant with a baby boy this time, as soon as he is born, I will pass on the position of prince to him." Xu Lianyi cooperated with the play and thanked happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Hearing this, Qiao Jingyuan turned around and left, and came to Qiao Yindi's yard. The two who were cooperating with the play just now couldn't help laughing when they saw Qiao Jingyuan leaving, like naughty children. Mu Yunting took her hand and swore and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation, the fish is about to be hooked, let's wait and see." ”
When he came to Qiao Yindi's courtyard, Qiao Jingyuan saw Jieyu who was sitting in the main hall, and said sneeringly: "They are also pregnant with the emperor's children, my cousin laughs and laughs every day, and the emperor accompanies you every day, but you are cold and lonely here." ”
Hearing this annoying voice, Qiao Yindi felt uncomfortable, but who made the family Miss Cousin, the background behind her is strong, and she has nothing. She had no choice but to force a smile: "The queen is weak, and the emperor should go to my sister to accompany her more." ”
"Weak? Just now, the emperor told her to please her, if she gave birth to a baby boy, he would pass on the crown prince to that child. Qiao Jingyuan gloated.
"What do you mean by that?" I thought she was here to humiliate herself for the queen, but I didn't expect what she said to mean something else.
"Nothing interesting? I'll just talk about it, you have to earn some anger, if your cousin gives birth to a princess, you give birth to a prince, then the crown prince is the one in your belly." Qiao Jingyuan smiled wickedly.
"It seems that Miss Biao is dissatisfied with the queen?" Qiao Yindi finally regained her master's posture. If her child is the crown prince, then she will not have to be bullied again in her life.
"Miss Table, I don't hide it, I don't think the queen may be pregnant, the last time Miss Table reminded me, I paid attention to it, the fetal pills used by the queen are indeed different from mine, and the last time I fell I felt stomach pain, but the queen was like no one. Qiao Yindi expressed the doubts in her heart to win Qiao Jingyuan's favor.
"I don't know why Miss Biao is dissatisfied with the queen, but if we form an alliance, we will definitely be able to achieve the goal faster, expose the queen, and not let the emperor be in the dark. Qiao Yindi took the initiative to extend an olive branch to the scheming Miss Cousin beside her.
"Okay, since my mother has said so, how can I not obey it. The two finally reached a will and temporarily formed an alliance to expose the lie that Xu Lianyi was fake pregnant.
Seeing that the birthday of the eighth Buddha in early April is about to arrive, the palace is preparing to worship the offerings and some of the clothes and incense that the ladies will wear to worship the Buddha.
The whole country of Mu advocates Buddhism, this is the custom passed down from the founding of the country, Buddha is the belief of Mu country, as long as you believe in Buddhism, you will be blessed by the Buddha, and you will enter heaven after death, and you will also be reincarnated into a good family.
On the eighth day of the fourth month, Mu Yunting took the ladies of the harem and some eunuchs and maids who were waiting to Lingyin Temple to worship the Buddha and make a wish.
In order to express their devotion to the Buddha, except for the queen and Qiao Yindi, who can take a sedan chair up the mountain because they are pregnant, others should climb the mountain in person when they arrive at the foot of the mountain to express their high respect for the Buddha, which is a rule left over the years.
