Ruliu nodded, pulled the quilt to Shumulu's lower abdomen and covered it, "Although the emperor doesn't say anything now, I believe that when the little brother comes out, the emperor will definitely let go."
Mr. Shumulus slowly tightened his grip on the silk-smooth brocade quilt, and said with a complex expression: "I'm afraid that I'm carrying a Princess right now. Although they are both dragon fetuses, how can Princess be compared with my elder brother."
Ru Liu also had this worry in her heart, but she and Shu Mulu didn't have the final say on this matter. After thinking for a while, she said: "Master, I heard that when the fetus reaches five or six months old, there will be
An experienced doctor can diagnose a man or woman based on the pulse pattern and the pregnant woman's body shape and taste."
Shu Mululu sneered and said: "Not to mention whether the imperial doctor will tell me, even if he tells me, what can he do if he says it is Gege? Don't you want it? Or should you pray to gods and Buddhas and ask God to turn him into a boy?
"
Ru Liu was left speechless by the question, and said helplessly: "Then... what should we do?"
Shu Mululu stroked her slightly bulging belly and said nothing. Although there were still seven months, one day after another, it would pass quickly. She had to come up with a perfect plan during this period, and she wanted to ensure that she would definitely
Give birth to a boy, but there is only one way...
She suddenly asked: "Ruliu, how much money do we still have on hand?"
Ruliu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "To tell you my master, there are still about 500 taels left of the silver that I had people send in before."
Shu Mululu frowned and said, "So few? What about the other things in Shuiyixuan that can be exchanged for silver?"
"The only things that can be exchanged for silver are the jewelry and antiques that the emperor rewarded in the past. There were originally a few calligraphy and paintings, but..." Just when Ruliu didn't know whether to continue, Mrs. Shumulu took over and said: "But I gave it away.
Did you give it to Su Peisheng?"
"Yes, there is only one painting left that is not very valuable." Ru Liu couldn't help but asked, "Master, why do you ask this?"
Shumulus thought about it and said, "Take the five hundred taels of silver and leave the palace tomorrow, go to a remote place with few people to find a few pregnant women, and ask them to buy their unborn children."
Ruliu opened his mouth and said in surprise: "Master, what do you want to do when you suddenly say this?"
Shu Mulu didn't answer immediately, but stared at Ru Liu's eyes widened in surprise, and said word by word: "In this pregnancy, I must be an elder brother. Do you understand?"
How could Ruliu not understand that she had already thought of it when Mrs. Shumulu asked her to find a pregnant woman just now, but this kind of thing was too shocking, and she really didn’t dare to think in that direction. She met Mr. Shumulu’s gaze for a long time before she got married.
He stammered: "Master, are you kidding me?"
"Do you think I look like I'm joking?"
Faced with Shu Mulu's words, Ru Liu didn't say anything, just shook his head mechanically, and then with a sudden inspiration, he knelt down on the bed and said tremblingly: "Master, have you thought clearly? Confusing the emperor's heir is a capital crime. If you are
If you find out, you will be executed!"
Shu Mulu's expression was surprisingly calm, and even when he heard the word "death", he was not moved at all, "I know, but I would rather die than go to Yong'an Temple to become a monk. This is my only choice, so Ru Liu,
You must help me. Besides, if I'm lucky and give birth to a brother, we won't need to take that step."
"But..." Ru Liu was so confused that she knew she couldn't do this, but she didn't know how to persuade Shu Mulu. As Shu Mulu said, this was the only choice. Once she gave birth to Princess, she would go to Yong'an Temple to become a monk.
The inevitable result; if it were my elder brother, the emperor, who had only a few heirs, might look at him for his sake and give him some mercy.
"Ru Liu, you are the only one left by my side, are you even unwilling to help me now?" When saying this, there was a hint of choking in Shu Mulu's voice.
Seeing that he was a little sad, Ruliu quickly said: "Of course not. Since I have followed my master, I will listen to my master's words all my life. I am just thinking about how I can secretly bring the child in if I really want to make a dangerous move."
In the palace, it's hard to hide from the guards."
"Fortunately, I have you by my side." Although Mrs. Shumulu was pleased, she also frowned tightly because of Ru Liu's words. After a long time, she said: "If you want to hide the truth from the sky, you alone cannot do it. You must have someone to help you."
OK."
Ru Liu said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry to be honest, but given our current situation, I'm afraid no one is willing to take such a big risk to help us."
Mr. Shu Mulu laughed, "Maybe, but there is one person who will definitely help us."
Ru Liu was about to ask who it was, when he suddenly understood and said quickly: "Master, are you talking about Eunuch Su?" Then he said with some worry: "I am afraid that he will not mention anything about such a big matter."
Shu Mululu's smile was a little brighter than before, "This matter is not up to him. Ever since he collected those two paintings and calligraphy, he has been on the same boat with us. Without my permission, he will never be able to get out of the boat in his life.
Jump down, unless he is willing to lose everything he has now, including his life."
Ruliu nodded knowingly, "With Eunuch Su's help, this matter will be much easier to handle. Master, don't worry, all the slaves will leave the palace early in the morning."
"Well, be careful, don't be followed like last time." Faced with Shu Mulu's instructions, Ru Liu's face felt a little hot, and he said solemnly: "Yes, I will never make the same mistake again.
.”
Shumulu didn't expect that long before her, Nala had already thought of Li Daitao's strategy and had made preparations early, just waiting to reap the benefits.
However, whether things will turn out as Nala or Shumulu wants will not be known until the baby is born seven months later. As for now, it is just a plan.
Under the same vast night and drizzle, Shuiyue led the palace people to extinguish most of the lights in Chengqian Palace, leaving only a few lights for lighting. In the inner hall, Yang Hai was holding a white jade comb and combing it carefully
Looking at Ling Ruo's green silk hair that was as smooth as silk and water under the candlelight, Shui Xiu took off the rings and armor in Ling Ruo's hands one by one, then twisted a hot towel and applied it to her hands.
Ling Ruo sat calmly in the chair. While Shui Xiu was changing the hot towel for the third time, she saw San Fu coming in from the copper mirror. After San Fu bowed, she opened her lips and said, "It's up to you."
After such a long time, the Emperor seems to have not returned directly to Yangxin Hall after leaving this palace."
Sanfu nodded and said: "Master guessed it right. The emperor went to Jingren Palace on the way. At present, Jingren Palace only lives in Ning Guiren and Shu Mulu. Ning Guiren has fallen out of favor a long time ago. On the contrary, Shu Mulu is pregnant with a dragon fetus. Your Majesty
