"Your Majesty, my concubine's father is innocent..."
"Your Majesty, my concubine's father has been an official for more than ten years. He has always been diligent and honest. How could you doubt him? Your Majesty..."
Shen Muchi didn't want to see Concubine Rong, so she took off her hairpin and knelt outside Fulin Hall in plain clothes.
The spring was cold, and when the cold wind blew, the pampered imperial concubine couldn't stand it anymore, and her little face turned pale.
The hard floor made her new head hurt, but she didn't care.
Facing the Fulin Hall, she cried and cried, which was very moving to watch.
Mu Qingchao was sitting on the sedan chair in the distance, taking in the whole scene with a sneer on his lips.
Does she feel pain?
Haha, how can it affect the pain in her heart?
Did she think that was the end?
No, not nearly enough.
She said that she wanted the entire Zhenguo Princess Mansion to be buried with her, the entire Princess Mansion, no one should be missing!
Now that she could still be a noble concubine and run up to Shen Muchi to beg for mercy, she thought the sky had fallen.
But she didn't know that all this was just the beginning.
"His Majesty!"
Concubine Rong's voice over there was getting weaker and weaker.
"Your Majesty, please see me, please..."
Before she could finish her sentence, her vision went dark and she fell to the ground.
Eunuch Lu, who was guarding Fulin Palace, was startled. He quickly came up to check and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Shen Mu has given orders that if Concubine Rong wants to kneel down, just let her kneel down and ignore it.
But how can you really ignore it?
"Come here, the imperial concubine has fainted. Please call the imperial doctor, call the imperial doctor..." Eunuch Lu said loudly.
On the other side, Chun Ya looked at this scene with astonishment and worry in her eyes: "Queen Mother, the imperial concubine is this... a cruel trick, right?"
She didn't know why she asked Mu Qingchao this question, but she vaguely felt that the Queen Mother should know everything.
Mu Qingchao sneered: "Who knows?"
After saying that, he raised his hand and said, "Let's go."
Is it a trick or is it really weak? The answer will soon be available.
The answer will come soon.
Eunuch Lu sent the people to Shuyue Palace and came back within half an hour.
"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Lu bowed to Shen Muchi, who was sitting in a high position, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"Tsk..." Shen Muchi was holding a book and playing chess alone. When he heard Concubine Rong's name, he interrupted impatiently.
"Didn't you say that? There is no need to repay her to me."
"Yes, but Your Majesty, Concubine Rong is... already one month pregnant." Lu Gong said impartially.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "click" sound, and a chess piece in Shen Muchi's hand fell on the chessboard.
At the end of the day, the situation on the chessboard changed. The black chess piece, which was gradually tightening, was suddenly shot out by the white piece, turning it into a mess.
**
Should I say it or not, Concubine Rong's pregnancy came at the right time.
"I didn't come early, I didn't come late, but I came at this time. This is the emperor's first child.
Seeing that the Zhenguo Princess Mansion was about to be in trouble, now it's better, I feel confident, and everything will be fine."
Chunya was mumbling in the palace, turned her head and saw Mu Qingchao still looking like the old god.
"Queen Mother, why aren't you anxious?"
If Chunya could not stand Shuyue Palace's arrogance in the past, it was different after Mu Yin's incident. She regarded the other party as a mortal enemy.
The fish will not die, but the net will be broken.
Therefore, Concubine Rong, who was about to be in bad luck, could turn around. How could Chunya not be anxious?
At this moment, Mu Qingchao put down the scented tea in his hand and said, "Why is the Ai family so anxious? This child may not be a life-saving talisman, but it may be a life-saving talisman."
"Ah?" Chun Ya was stunned for a moment.
"Why?"
"The Ai family wants to ask you, Concubine Rong is pregnant. How is Your Majesty's reaction?"
"I heard from the maids at Shuyue Palace that Your Majesty immediately went to Shuyue Palace to see the noble concubine. Fortunately, he comforted her and asked her to have a good pregnancy. There is no need to think about other things."
"Yes, it's just a few words of relief. Is His Majesty overjoyed? Has he made any promises?
no?
Not only that, but the guards of Shuyue Palace are also added, what is the difference between this and house arrest?"
If in the past, Shen Muchi was still a little soft-hearted towards the Zhenguo government, he might still be able to really look forward to this child.
Now that his relationship with Princess Zhenguo has obviously deteriorated, what does this child mean to him?
Calculate it as a threat, calculate it as a handle, calculate it as a tool for Princess Zhenguo to control the country of Nanming.
"But...but..." Chunya still didn't understand.
"Can Your Majesty still take action against his own children?"
"Of course it can't be done now," Mu Qing said.
Now that the child is in Concubine Rong's belly, it is certainly not easy to find an opportunity to take action. Moreover, although Princess Zhenguo is not as powerful as before, the centipede is dead but not stiff. If she wants to uproot it all at once, she is afraid of disturbing the foundation of Nanming.
What was originally planned for Xu Xu was ruined by the arrival of this child. Now Shen Muchi should be the one who feels the most discomfort.
"Besides, Concubine Rong is pregnant, so we should go see the Concubine."
Mu Qingchao was mid-sentence when the topic suddenly changed.
She called to Qiangwei next to her: "Go and pick something out in the warehouse. The imperial concubine is very happy. Let's give you something."
**
At this time, Concubine Rong was half-leaning on the bed in the Shuyue Palace. Her hair was disheveled and she had a circle on her head to wipe her forehead. Her pale face still looked haggard.
The maid brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge beside her.
"Mom, please have something to eat."
But Concubine Rong shook her head: "I can't eat anything, just take it."
Qiwen was a little anxious.
"Mom, no matter what happens, you should eat something. Even if it's not for yourself, you should do it for the sake of the child in your belly."
"Qiwen." Concubine Rong called the maid's name.
"You said that I just begged Your Majesty so hard, why did Your Majesty just refuse to agree to it?"
"This..." How could this maid know?
Concubine Rong was heard saying to herself: "Is Your Majesty really tired of our He family?"
"Empress..."
How does the maid know this? She can only advise: "My wife, it is better not to worry about these things. If you are so depressed, it will not be good for the child in your belly."
At this moment, the most important thing is to protect the fetus in the belly.
No matter what, he is your Majesty’s flesh and blood. No matter how much I don’t care about you, I still have to care about this child.”
After hearing what the maid said, Concubine Rong gave a wry smile and said, "That's right."
"Our Queen Mother is here to see Concubine Rong, who do you think you are and why should you stop her?"
At this time, there was a noise outside the door.
Queen Mother...
It's Mu Qingchao...
"No, no, I don't want to see her, I don't want to see her." Concubine Rong's expression, which had just softened slightly, suddenly became tense again.
"Tell them to get out, tell them to get out..."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Mu Qingchao's voice outside before he arrived: "What? Does the imperial concubine really not want to see the Ai family?"
