Several months have passed since the beautiful maiden entered the palace in March, and officially went to bed in April, and now, but there has never been any good news from the young master. This can't help but make the Queen Mother, who has always been worried about the emperor's heirs, very worried.
On this day, as soon as the young masters sat down in the morning and dusk, the Queen Mother handed over the Tong Book of History of Women. She took the Tong Book and flipped through the pages. Sure enough, she saw that the young masters showed no signs of pregnancy, and their faces
Suddenly very unhappy
"Ask the Queen Mother to prescribe some warm and tonic prescriptions, and let them take them back and take the medicine," the Queen Mother said with a faint look on her face, glancing at everyone.
Everyone knew what the recipe was, and they immediately lowered their heads in shame.
The Queen Mother looked tired, so everyone had to go back
Grandma Yao on the side looked at Tong Shu, and after a while her eyebrows furrowed.
The Queen Mother said angrily: "Don't look at it. The more I look at it, the angrier it becomes. I see that Concubine Fu's child is very easy to raise, and her mother is also very pregnant. Why is she not moving at all?"
Aunt Yao pointed at Tong Shu and her lips trembled so much that she could not speak. After a long while, she finally said: "Queen Mother, this is wrong!"
The Queen Mother took it over and glared: "What's wrong?"
Aunt Yao said with panic on her face: "The emperor summoned the mistresses at the wrong time! Look, Queen Mother, except for Concubine Rong, the rest of the mistresses sleep in the days before and after Kuishui. On those days,
It's...it's the day when it's most difficult to conceive, this..."
When the Queen Mother heard this, her face changed drastically. She carefully looked at the time of the young masters to attend the bed. Sure enough, it was as Aunt Yao said. She immediately pierced the Tong Shu female history with her sharp eyes.
The Tongshu female historian was frightened by the Queen Mother's gaze. She knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down and spare your life!"
When the Queen Mother saw her like this, she knew that she knew the truth, and said: "Get up and answer! Tell the Ai family everything you know! Don't miss a word! Tell me, who ordered you?"
How dare Tong Shu Nu Shi dare to get up, and while kowtowing, she said: "No one instigated this slave, it was the emperor... The emperor asked the slave to do this."
The Queen Mother was so angry that she picked up the tea cup on the table and threw it at her. She didn't dare to hide. She was hit in the shoulder, and she suddenly felt as if her bones were broken and it hurt.
Holding back the pain, she cried loudly: "Queen Mother, every word of this slave is true! The emperor asked the slave when a woman is most likely to be pregnant. The slave thought that the emperor wanted to be lucky at that time, so she explained it to the emperor in detail, including the most difficult time to conceive.
I didn't know that the time was right, but I didn't know... I didn't know that the emperor specifically chose this time, so I have no choice but to do something about it! I also ask the Queen Mother to spare my life!"
The Queen Mother pointed at her and said tremblingly: "Why do you have no choice? When you knew the emperor's intention, you came and told the Ai family, so that the Ai family could have stopped it earlier! But you deliberately concealed it! If the Ai family hadn't found out today
, how long will you continue to be so brutal!"
"I dare not..."
"You don't dare. The Ai family knows that you are afraid of the emperor's punishment. Aren't you afraid of the Ai family? Come on! Drag this bastard down and beat her up for thirty times! If there is anyone who deceives the Ai family in the future about my royal heir,
Family, Aijia must be severely punished!"
Tong Shu Nu Shi was immediately pulled down. Aunt Yao was busy admonishing her: "Queen Mother, please calm down. Don't punish her like this because you're hurting your body. I'm afraid the emperor will find out..."
The Queen Mother said angrily: "I just want him to know! How dare this unfilial son do such a thing behind my back! Does he still have me as his biological mother in his eyes? Does he still have this century-old foundation in the North?"
It really makes me mad!"
Aunt Yao hurriedly helped the Queen Mother calm down. After a while, she saw that the Queen Mother was slowly coming back to her senses, so she asked thoughtfully: "Then what are you going to do now, Queen Mother? Are you going to invite the Emperor to come over?"
The Queen Mother waved her hand and said: "No, I just beat Tong Shunvshi. He must know the anger of the Ai family. If he still has me as a mother in his heart, he should wake up. It's not okay. He is not right." Is Concubine Rong playing tricks? It seems that he still likes that child. I think that child has a good family background. If she is lucky, she can let me hear the good news as soon as possible! "
But the Queen Mother didn't know that Xichen didn't sleep with Xianya every night. When Xianya slept, Xichen was still reading the book, and when Xianya woke up, he had already gotten up and went to bed.
The news that Tong Shunvshi was beaten reached Shen Huan's ears. Although she didn't know why, she vaguely felt that the matter was related to Xichen. She wanted to know the reason, so she wanted to ask Xichen directly.
In Shangyang Palace, she met Xia Wenze, whom she had not seen for a long time. Since his sister was thrown into the cold palace, he had also been sick for a while - he was really sick, not pretending to be sick.
He had lost a lot of weight, his handsome face no longer looked so radiant, and there was a touch of sadness in his eyes. When he saw Shen Huan, he was stunned and stopped waiting for her to pass.
Shen Huan glanced at him and asked casually: "Is the disease cured?"
He paused and nodded silently
Shen Huan walked a few steps and then turned back and asked, "I heard that the emperor transferred you to the Northern Army?"
He nodded again and finally said one word this time: "Yes"
Shen Wen sighed and said: "They were once my brother's subordinates. My brother said that the most important garrison in the palace is not the Yulin Guard, but the Northern Army. Anyone can move it, but the Northern Army cannot move"
There was finally some color in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Shang Yi is talking about General Zhengxi? He is a great general."
Shen Huan smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "If he didn't go to the battlefield and get scarred, who would know?"
Xia Wenze pursed her lips and said nothing. Shen Huan's mood suddenly dropped. She lowered her eyes, bit her lip, and asked softly: "Does the general hate me? He hates me for making your sister suffer in a place like the cold palace."
"No," he answered her decisively, "it was us brothers and sisters who were sorry for Shang Yi. Wen Wan was wrong. Shang Yi spared her once before, but she didn't wake up and kept making the same mistakes again and again. Until now... …”
Shen Huan raised her eyes and looked at Jingying. She said: "General, lead the Northern Army well. The emperor is a man who cherishes his past kindness. In time, as long as your sister sincerely repents, the emperor will definitely welcome her back to the harem."
Xia Wenze shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Shang Yi doesn't need to comfort me. The emperor who hurt Shang Yi has done his utmost by not taking her life. I know that such a day will not come to pass. Anyway, thank you Shang Yi for your kindness." If you have something to do, just take the first step." After saying that, he cupped his hands and strode away.
Shen Huan looked at his back for a while, wondering what he was thinking. He sighed, remembered that he had something to report, and hurriedly went in.
"Tong Shu Nu Shi was beaten by the Queen Mother," Shen Huan said briefly.
"I understand." Xichen's expression did not change at all.
"Why?" Shen Huan couldn't hide her surprise.
However, Xichen didn't even raise his head. He still read a memorial in the same posture and said coldly: "This is none of your business. Go make a pot of tea."
Shen Huan glared at him and said coldly: "This is not my responsibility." After saying that, before he could raise his head, he left first.
It's really strange that he was suddenly so cold to me, and he felt a little bit resentful in his heart. Could it be because he treated me so well on weekdays that he almost forgot who he was?
