Jian Xiao only heard the cries of children and people talking. She woke up in a trance and found that there were fingers on her wrist feeling her pulse.
"Doctor Du Zhongdu?" Jian Xiao asked weakly
"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Eucommia ulmoides' voice came in.
"Is Gong Guifei okay? Mother and son are safe?" Jian Xiao asked. She didn't want Gong Guifei to make any mistakes, which would be of no benefit to her.
"Well, thanks to the empress, Concubine Gong Xian gave birth to a dragon," Eucommia said.
They have already changed their names. It seems that the principle of mother being more valuable than son still makes sense. "Euzhong, tell me what happened," Jian Xiao said slightly.
Du Zhong hesitated for a moment, "Is this... safe?"
Jian Xiao nodded, "I can't hold on like this forever, it's not good for the children, and the longer it goes, the harder it will be to hide it."
"Is Jian Xiao awake?" Zhang Qin strode over with uncontrollable joy on his face. Seeing that Jian Xiao had opened her eyes, he hurriedly sat down next to her and asked, "Why did you faint again? Are you like this?
I want to keep you by my side even when I go down, and look at you without missing a moment.”
Jian Xiao smelled the fragrance of milk on Zhang Qin's body. She smiled and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty for winning another dragon son. Can you give me a name?"
"Min Hua!" Zhang Qin couldn't close his mouth when he mentioned his son, "He's so handsome. I didn't expect Concubine Gong Xian to give birth here. It made your Xiaoxiang Building a mess. I've already sent them back.
He looked at Eucommia ulmoides and asked, "Is the empress in good health?"
Eucommia ulmoides glanced at Jian Xiao, who nodded to him, "Your Majesty, you are truly blessed with double happiness. Concubine Jian is already several months pregnant."
Zhang Qin looked at Jian Xiao in confusion. Wasn't this something that he had agreed not to tell? Why did he announce it so grandly in front of everyone? The girls below all congratulated Jian Xiao and Zhang Qin.
Jian Xiao put on a smile and said, "I have already felt it, but I am not sure that the imperial doctor said not to publicize it before March. It is good for the child, so I postponed it."
"Then this is a great happy event. Jian Xiao, you are really my noble person. You must give me a good rest." Zhang Qin put his arms around Jian Xiao's shoulders, deeply smelled the fragrance of her hair, looked down at her, and his eyes were full of joy.
Red bloodshot eyes, it seems like I haven’t had a good rest for a long time
For some reason, he felt a sadness in his heart. Why did she have to bear so much pressure? Why wasn't she willing to be an ordinary woman and stay by his side until she grew old?
Jian Xiao's appetite began to become strange. The sweet porridge she used to love most now doesn't want to touch it anymore. She just likes to eat some sour kumquats, which has become Jian Xiao's favorite food. But even though it's early spring, Jin
The oranges had grown, but Zhang Qin showed sympathy to Jian Xiao and brought some from Lingnan for Jian Xiao to eat.
Wan Yun handed the kumquat that he had wiped quickly to Jian Xiao's hand, "My sister has announced her harem this time, and it seems that no one will bother us anymore."
Yes, Concubine Li Shu is still sleeping, Concubine Gong Xian is protecting her dragon son, and the two biggest enemies in the palace have been eliminated. How can I not be at ease?
"I'm just wondering, why did you have to wait until she gave birth before announcing the matter?" Wan Yun asked.
"I heard that after she gave birth to a dragon son in her belly, Queen Mintong would not be the only one to favor her. In order to protect her position, the Queen would be more wary of Concubine Gong Xian, and Concubine Gong Xian would definitely not take it easy with her own power.
I gave up, so the signs of the struggle were transferred to them, and I was naturally left free. This is the time for you and me to recharge our batteries and find out everything."
"What else is there? My sister, it's rare that you don't have so many things to do and don't talk about taking a good rest."
Jian Xiao pursed her lips and remained silent. In her eyes, many things were still just a blur. The girl in the matter of Concubine Li Shu's Luming Terrace had not yet found out the background. Moreover, there was another thing that attracted Jian Xiao's great attention because she had never
Believe in coincidence, only believe in cause and effect
The Queen sat in Kunning Palace and frowned. Mintong was playing with the nanny, spitting out a few simple words from time to time, but the Queen turned a blind eye to such surprises.
Her girl Mo Shu stood behind her and gave her a pat on the back, "Yi Mo Shu, there is no need for the empress to be upset. Although Concubine Gong Xian gave birth to a dragon son, it is the rule set by the ancestors that the eldest son should pass on the throne to the crown prince."
Sooner or later, our Majesty, Prince Mintong, came to visit Mintong today, which shows that he still cares about Mintong."
The Queen said coldly, "That's what I said, but isn't Your Majesty also the second prince who ascended the throne? As usual, I am not Min Tong's biological mother, but he is the only one around me. If Min Hua of Concubine Gong Xian's family really takes the advantage,
In terms of family background and background, my position as queen is not guaranteed.”
"Then what should we do? Concubine Gong Xian has always relied on her father to be the Grand Master and never takes us seriously," Mo Shu asked.
The queen shook her head, "Isn't this a long time to come? Your Majesty has not established a heir for a day, and every day is an opportunity."
Standing in front of Concubine Li Shu's Shangshan Palace, Jian Xiao felt that things were different and what she encountered here would be unforgettable for the rest of her life. As a result, Jian Xiao was canonized and even after returning to the palace, she did not want to step into Shangshan Palace.
On weekdays, this place is very prosperous, but now it seems deserted and deserted. Xiao Yaner is walking out listlessly with a basin of water. When he sees Jian Xiao, he hurriedly salutes, "Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine, Jin An."
Jian Xiao nodded, "How is your mother-in-law today?"
Speaking of Concubine Li Shu, the calmness on Xiao Yan'er's face turned into sadness, "Hey, it's still the same as before, that is, just drink some water and rice porridge. The imperial doctor said that if you don't eat anymore, you're afraid..." Xiao Yan'er's nose became sour and two drops of water flowed out.
Tears come
Can we still drink rice porridge? An idea flashed through Jian Xiao's mind. She walked in. Concubine Li Shu was lying there with her eyes closed. The girls took good care of her. Except that her face was a little pale, she looked like she was asleep.
Jian Xiao lowered her head and approached Li Shufei's face. She felt that Li Shufei's eyes and eyelids were trembling. Jian Xiao suddenly blew a fierce breath on Li Shufei's face. Li Shufei's eyes moved and her brows furrowed, but soon she returned.
Back to normal
As expected, Concubine Li Shu was obviously awake, but she was probably afraid of taking responsibility, so she could only pretend to be asleep. It was really difficult for her.
Jian Xiao leaned into her ear and whispered, "Concubine Shu, Concubine Gong gave birth to a prince. His Majesty said a few days ago that if the concubine is still unconscious, she will no longer perform medical treatment in five days and prepare to issue an obituary."
Jian Xiao stared at her face closely, obviously feeling that she was scared, and reacted. She straightened up and said to Xiao Yan'er, "It seems that the queen is not awake yet, I will go back now!"
Although the girl who committed suicide was brought by Li Shufei, there must be someone behind it, otherwise Tuoba Yun would not have found her whereabouts after searching for so long. The only way to bring the matter to light is to let Li Shufei come forward herself.
Pretending to be asleep? Huh, then I'll force you to wake up!
Jian Xiao was walking on the garden path back to Xiaoxiang Tower. Someone in the bushes next to her kept secretly following her footsteps, slowly moving forward...
