Just as Zhou Minghua was about to go down and write down the prescription for pregnancy prevention, Ling Ruo suddenly stopped him and said: "Mr. Zhou, I don't want people to know about this for the time being. Please keep it a secret on my behalf."
Zhou Minghua knew what she was afraid of, nodded and said, "I know this, but is it true that even the emperor can't tell her about this matter?"
Ling Ruo thought for a moment and said, "Let's keep it a secret for now. Wait until three months have passed." After three months, the fetal pressure will gradually become more stable. By then, it will not be so easy for others to harm her child even if they want to.
As for not telling Yinzhen, it was because she was still angry with him about what happened before.
Everything was concealed silently, and the anti-fetal medicine, after being cooked in the small kitchen, was delivered to Ling Ruo twice a day on time to nurse the fetus in her belly.
At this time, some rumors began to appear in the capital, saying that the emperor fell in love with Nalan Fujin and had not forgotten his love for many years. Now Yunhu was imprisoned and renamed Aqina, which means that he has no relationship with the past, and
His blessing, Nalam Meier, became a living widow. The emperor deliberately brought her into the harem to relieve the pain of lovesickness for many years. Moreover, the two had already secretly become a couple.
Originally these were just common people's talk after dinner, but gradually they began to spread to the ears of the officials, and then even to the harem, causing everyone to speculate whether this incident was true or not.
Although Yunzhen has been renamed Aqina, Nalan Meier is his direct descendant who has been with him for more than 20 years. If Yinzhen brings her into the harem, it will be tantamount to robbing his sister-in-law, which will definitely cause a war.
The uproar was just like the time when Lord Shunzhi took a fancy to his younger brother Boguo's unmarried wife, Dong E, and brought her into the harem as his concubine, causing Boguo to commit suicide without much humiliation.
Shuixiu and the others also heard about this matter, but for fear of affecting Ling Ruo's pregnancy, after asking the Guarjia family, they decided to keep the matter a secret. Except for the people in Chengqian Palace and Zhou Minghua, Guarjia
Jia Shi is the only one who knows that Ling Ruo is pregnant.
She knew that if this matter continued like this, Ling Ruo would find out sooner or later, but she still hoped to hide it for as long as possible, at least for three months.
On the other hand, Su Peisheng suffered a lot while being imprisoned in the Criminal Punishment Department, but at last he had some weight in the palace. Secondly, Yinzhen did not threaten death, and the chief manager of the Criminal Punishment Department did not use harsh measures, but just dealt with it.
But even this was enough for Su Peisheng to bear, but what scared him the most was being locked in a dark dungeon, not knowing when Yinzhen would let him out.
Although Si Xi despised his past actions, after all, they entered the palace together and followed Li Dequan together, climbing step by step from the lowest eunuch to where he is today.
He often came to visit the Shenxing Department. Su Peisheng had begged Sixi to save him before, but when he saw that there was still no movement, he decided that he had no intention of saving him. On the contrary, he came to see his jokes, so he began to ridicule him and never did it again.
Good look.
This day was no exception. Not long after entering, Si Xi was scolded by him. Outside the dungeon, Si Xi stuffed some broken silver into the hands of the little eunuch Xiao Xiangzi who was in charge of guarding, and asked them to take more care of Si Xi.
.
Xiao Xiangzi put the silver back into Si Xi's hand and said, "Don't worry, Eunuch Xi. I will try my best to take care of Eunuch Su and not make him feel too uncomfortable. As for this silver, Eunuch Xi should take it back. You and other slaves have always been very good."
, how can your slaves accept your money?"
After pushing several times, seeing that Xiao Xiangzi still refused to accept it, Sixi had no choice but to put away the money, patted Xiao Xiangzi on the shoulder and said, "Then our family will accept your love."
"Actually, Eunuch Xi has nothing to say to Eunuch Su. Every time he comes, he asks his servants to take care of him. I don't understand why Eunuch Su has such a big opinion against you."
Listening to the little eunuch's words, Sixi sighed with emotion: "There are some things that cannot be explained clearly. In short, just do everything that suits your conscience. Okay, let's go."
"Eunuch, let's go slowly." Shortly after seeing Si Xi off, Xiao Xiangzi saw a young eunuch walking into the Shenxing Department. He looked at him with a tight look. He had never seen him before, "Stop, who are you? Come to Shenxing Department."
What's wrong with the Criminal Division?"
The young eunuch stopped and said softly: "This father-in-law, I am the apprentice of Eunuch Su. I came here to visit him. I would like to ask my father-in-law to be accommodating."
Xiao Xiangzi walked over, walked around the little eunuch, and asked suspiciously: "Are you really Eunuch Su's apprentice? Why haven't I seen you these days?"
"My father-in-law doesn't know. I was sent on an errand and I just came back today. As soon as I returned to the palace, I heard that something happened to my master. I hurriedly came over to have a look." The little eunuch said with a pitiful look on his face: "I'm really worried about your master, please."
My father-in-law has mercy on me, I won’t wait long, I’ll just take a look and leave.” As he said this, he quietly put the silver into Xiao Xiangzi’s hand.
Seeing how pitiful he said and the heavy amount of money in his hand, Xiao Xiangzi glanced around, and after seeing that there was no one else, he whispered: "Okay, but remember, come out as soon as you see him, don't talk for too long
.”
"Thank you so much, father-in-law. Thank you so much, father-in-law." After thanking you profusely, the little eunuch walked into the dark dungeon. With the dim lights on both sides, he groped his way through the narrow corridors on both sides and walked for a while before he saw that he was listless.
Su Peisheng.
Arriving in front of the prison door, the young eunuch called softly: "Eunuch Su."
Su Peisheng heard that the voice sounded familiar. He raised his head and recognized it for a long time. Only then did he recognize that the person dressed as a little eunuch was Yingchun. When he saw that it was Yingchun, his expression immediately became excited. He crawled over and grabbed the fence and said, "What on earth is it?"
How
What's going on? Why does the emperor keep asking our family about making tea and locking us in? Previously, Rui Bin asked our family not to tell you. Tell us honestly, what is going on?
What's going on?"
Ru Liu comforted him and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law. I came here just to tell the father-in-law exactly what happened as ordered by my master."
Su Peisheng nodded repeatedly and stared at Ru Liu, waiting for him to continue. But as Ru Liu's voice sounded, the surprise in his eyes became more and more intense. He opened his mouth wide and pointed at Ru Liu, speechless for a long time.
"My father-in-law, I feel very sorry for you when I know that I have done this, but you know that Concubine Xi has always thought that she was targeting my master, which has caused her family to be ruined, including her little brother who has already formed. If she is allowed to do whatever she wants again, and cover the world with one hand,
The master will be killed by her as soon as possible."
"But what does this have to do with our family?!" Su Peisheng managed to squeeze out a distorted voice, and then said angrily: "Our family has always done its best for Rui Bin and has never done anything detrimental to her. Why should she do it?
Our family is involved in the conspiracy, and we even came up with this
This daring plan... drugged the Emperor and Nalan Fujin. Do you know that once this matter is exposed, everyone will die, including our family. It doesn't matter if you go crazy, but don't destroy our family.
Come on, our family doesn’t want to die so early.”
