"It won't be okay." Xianyue shook her head, and then said with a cold smile: "I really didn't expect that someone would use this method to harm my mother and son. This kind of thought makes even me feel inferior."
Seeing that she looked wrong, A Luo said, "Master, don't think so much, go and have your meal first."
Xianyue stroked her forehead and said, "Let's put it aside for now, I have no appetite."
"Master..." As soon as Aluo said two words, the palace door suddenly opened, and a figure appeared in everyone's sight with a cold wind, it was Hongli.
A Luo and others hurriedly saluted. Xiayue stood up and said, "I, my concubine, have come to see you, your Majesty. May your Majesty be blessed."
"No need to be polite." Hongli supported her, looked at her carefully, and said, "Why is your face so ugly?"
"Concubine..." Xianyue hesitated for a moment, but finally made up her mind, "Concubine, I have something to ask the emperor."
"What's the matter?" Hongli took off his cloak and sat down in the chair with Xianyue. After waiting for a while, Xianyue didn't speak. He asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say you had something to ask me? Why didn't you say anything again?"
Xianyue bit her lip and said, "The emperor has already known about the rumors in the palace, right?"
Hongli's expression changed, and he immediately stared at Sixi and said, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that such rumors are not allowed to spread in the palace? How did you do it?"
"You deserve to die!" Si Xi hurriedly knelt down and said: "As soon as the emperor gave the explanation, the servant gave the order, but there were always people spreading the word in private, and the servant also arrested a few, but the restraint continued, and the servant did not dare to
The matter was too big, so..."
"If you can't handle even a small thing, what use do you need?!" Hongli's cold voice frightened Sixi, and she kowtowed and begged for mercy.
After Ming Sixi rolled down, Hongli held Xianyue's hand and said: "It's just some unfounded rumors. You don't need to take it to heart."
Xianyue looked down at her slightly bulging belly and murmured: "The emperor is not worried that the child in my concubine's belly is..."
"No." Hongli interrupted her and said, "Our child will not be a disaster!"
The next moment, Xianyue shook his hand and said in a horrified voice: "Your Majesty, I have been waiting for this child for so many years. I can't live without him. I can't!"
Hongli comforted him: "I know, trust me, nothing will happen to you, I will definitely protect your mother and son."
Despite Hongli's assurance, Xianyue still felt very scared. Even if she was abandoned by Hongli and relegated to the cold palace, she had never felt this way before. The child... This child was her lifeblood, and nothing could happen to her.
That night, Xianyue slept very uneasily, waking up at the slightest movement. After Hongli went to court, she couldn't sleep for a long time, so she simply ordered A Luo to come in and wash herself up.
Xianyue sat in front of the mercury mirror, looking at the slightly haggard face in the mirror due to poor sleep. Aluo knew what she was thinking and comforted: "With the emperor's protection, the master will be fine."
Xianyue sighed and said: "If it is just a rumor in the palace, the emperor can protect me, but Qi Kuan said that there are also rumors in the capital..."
Zhichun said disapprovingly: "So what, the emperor is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and he can also protect the safety of his master, mother and son."
Xianyue shook her head and said: "You don't understand. Although the emperor is the emperor, he cannot do everything by himself. He also has many restrictions. Among those ministers, there are many people who believe in the misfortune of celestial phenomena..." She sighed and said
: "In addition, I have such a background, they will definitely not give up!"
Hearing this, Zhichun panicked and said, "Then... what should we do?"
Xianyue thought for a moment and said: "Rumors will not appear without reason. This matter must be caused by someone who wants to harm me. Qi Kuan, please go out of the palace and go to Prince He's Mansion. Please help Prince He investigate where this matter came from."
Rumors spread everywhere.”
After Qi Kuan agreed, A Luo, who had been deep in thought, said, "Master, you just said that the celestial phenomena were auspicious, which made me think of one thing, which is the auspicious phenomena when the fifth elder brother was born."
"What does that matter have to do with Master?" While Zhichun was puzzled, Xianyue understood what A Luo meant, "Are you saying that Concubine Yu did this?"
"The methods of the two things are very similar, and Concubine Yu hates you the most. It is not surprising that she would do such a thing. The most important thing is that she still has the card of Ji Changming. If she is a courtier, Qin
The Heavenly Prison has insisted that Master, you are pregnant with a calamity star, and they are putting pressure together, fearing that..."
"Concubine Yu!" Xianyue squeezed out these two words through her teeth, and then said: "Qi Kuan, tell Prince He to focus on investigating Concubine Yu's father and brother. In addition, Ji Changming is also keeping an eye on some, so go quickly!"
Qi Kuan knew that the matter was urgent, so he quickly took Xianyue's handwriting and left. After he left, A Luo said hesitantly: "Master, I have something to say."
Xianyue stroked the gold hairpin on her bun and said coolly: "Do you want to be the emperor?"
A Luo said in a deep voice: "Yes, before the matter was found out, countless people felt that Master, you were pregnant with a calamity star. Your Majesty...may be able to rule out everyone's opinions and keep Master, mother and son safe as he said; but
It's also possible..." She paused and said, "I said it's possible, but the master still has to guard against it."
Xianyue smiled bitterly and said: "Aluo, I was thinking just now, if the emperor doesn't want this child, how can I keep him, but after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out. It turns out... apart from the emperor's favor,
I really have nothing."
A Luo knelt down and said, "Master, don't say that. You still have a slave. Even if you risk your life, the slave will definitely protect you and my little brother."
"Yes, the same goes for my slave." Zhichun followed: "Besides, I don't think the emperor is a vicious person."
Xianyue lowered her head, gently caressed her slightly swollen belly and said, "I don't know if the emperor is cruel enough. I only know that we must not lose this hard-earned child. I hope... and the prince can find clues."
.”
While they were talking, the atmosphere in the Yangxin Hall was extremely strange. Hongli raised the zhezi in his hand with an ugly expression on his face and said, "Yu Minzhong, do you want me to get rid of the disaster star?"
The courtier named Yu Minzhong raised his hands and said: "Yes, since the rumors spread, there have been several murders or weapons fights in the capital, and I heard that there is no peace in the palace. Everything is caused by disasters."
The stars are rising, and only by removing the disaster stars can peace be achieved in all directions."
Hongli nodded noncommittally, "Then do you know who the disaster star is in your mouth?"
"Wei Chen knows that it is Concubine Xian's child." As soon as Yu Minzhong finished speaking, Hongli threw the fold at his feet, "That is not only Concubine Xian's child, but also my child. You want
It would be crazy for me to harm my own child!"
Yu Minzhong looked calmly and said: "Wei Chen knows that this will make the emperor very embarrassed, but if a disaster star comes to the world, it will bring disaster to the Qing Dynasty."
Hongli sneered: "Who did you hear these words from?"
Yu Minzhong cupped his hands and said, "Return to the Emperor. Anyone who walks around the capital will hear these words."
