"No need." Facing Song Zihua's gaze, Xia Yue curled her lips and said with a hint of unknown sorrow: "There is a time in life that must be there, but there is a time in life that is not available, so don't force it; if God destined me to have no children,
No matter how much you do, it will be useless, and at my age... it is already impossible."
Zhichun said comfortingly: "Who said it? I heard that the Queen Mother was older than your master when she gave birth to Princess Zhaoqing. This pulse diagnosis is neither painful nor itchy. Please let Dr. Song
Let’s take a look.”
Qi Kuan was also persuading, but Xianyue couldn't stand it. The two of them took turns to persuade and agreed to Song Zihua's pulse diagnosis. After Song Zihua took back his fingers on Xiayue's wrist, Zhichun couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Song, how is your master's health?"
Like? Is it better than when you left?"
Song Zihua smiled and said: "In the past few years, the empress has been insisting on taking the prescriptions prescribed by Weichen to regulate her body. Now her pulse is gentle and her body is neither dry nor cold. From a physical point of view, she is actually much better than before. As long as she has the right
There is no chance, Weichen believes that the empress can still conceive."
Hearing this, Zhichun said happily: "Master, have you heard what the Song Dynasty doctor said? You still have a chance. I believe you will get what you want."
"I hope." Having said that, Xianyue didn't have much expectation or hope in her expression. It wasn't that she didn't want to have a child of her own, but that she had experienced too many disappointments and she no longer dared to have that kind of child again.
Extravagant hope.
Child... these two words are too luxurious for her.
In the Chonghua Palace, after Wu Si ordered people to carry Kong's shoulder carriage down, he saw Liu Qi walking back and forth under the eaves, so he went over and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Liu Qi was startled by the sudden voice. When he saw clearly that it was the Fourth Empress Wu, he quickly bowed and said: "Eunuch Wu, good luck." After that, he glanced at the main hall quietly and whispered: "The master has come back.
Already?"
Wu Si nodded and said, "What's wrong? You have something to see the master?"
Liu Qi raised the book in his hand and said: "Half of the internal affairs office notebook that the master asked me to copy has been copied. I want to show it to the master. When I came here just now, they said that the master went to the Yanxi Palace, so I
Wait here."
"Master has come back, but he is busy with things at the moment and has no time to see you. Just give me these booklets and I will bring them to the master for you."
Hearing this, Liu Qi hurriedly handed over the booklet, and then asked casually: "Master is much busier than before lately."
Wu Si said casually: "This is natural. In a month or so, the grand ceremony will be held. The master has to help the imperial concubine arrange many things. In addition, there are orders..."
When the word "concubine" was about to blurt out, Wu Si quickly closed his lips and tried his best to swallow the word. He almost let it slip out of his mouth. It was really dangerous; the master had ordered not to leak this matter at will.
.
Liu Qi asked: "Eunuch Wu, what is your order, your concubine?"
"No, you heard wrong." Wu Si lowered his face and said, "What are you doing standing here? Why don't you hurry up and do something?"
After being shouted at by him, Liu Qi did not dare to say anything more and quickly bowed his head and retreated. However, those few words just now convinced him that the Huang family must be doing something secretly and it was related to Wei Jingxuan.
Shortly after Liu Qi left, Jin Ping came out and said to Wu Si: "Master has something to tell you, so you should hurry in."
Wu Si responded and quickly came to the Nuan Pavilion where Huang was. After bowing, he stood aside with his hands down, quietly waiting for Huang's instructions.
Huang fiddled with a round pearl in her sleeve and said in a low voice: "I have been thinking about it just now, and I always feel that waiting like this is too time-consuming. It is possible that when Concubine Ying takes action, there will be no movement on Wei De's side;
It’s always best to have a two-pronged approach.”
Wu Si said softly: "I understand, but if Wei De doesn't move, we won't be able to find out the true purpose of the imperial concubine's two-page manuscript."
Huang looked at him and said slowly: "If he doesn't move, we can lure the snake out of its hole."
Wu Si thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forgive me for being ignorant and not understanding the master's intentions."
"The reason why Wei De hasn't moved yet is because the person he is looking for cannot copy the imperial concubine's calligraphy exactly. What if..." Huang said in a slightly longer tone, "What if he finds her?"
Wu Si said without hesitation: "Once you find it, you will naturally proceed to the next step."
Huang showed a smile and said: "Yes, what I want is for him to take the next step."
At this moment, Wu Si understood Huang's meaning and said with a troubled face: "But it is not easy to find a master of copying at this moment, and it is also necessary to quickly copy the imperial concubine.
The characters were copied to the point where it’s hard to distinguish between authenticity and authenticity.”
Huang's smile spread from her lips, "Why bother to look for it? Isn't there someone ready to go?"
"Ready-made?" Wu Si asked doubtfully: "Who is the master?"
Looking at Wu Si's confused eyes, Huang slowly uttered three words, "The Imperial Concubine."
Wu Si's eyes became more and more confused, "This handwriting was originally written by the imperial concubine, so there is no need to copy it again."
Mrs. Huang clapped her hands lightly and stood up and said: "As you said, the calligraphy was written by the imperial concubine, so what kind of copying can be more similar to what she wrote by her own hand, and can be more 'fake and real' than what she wrote by herself?"
This time, Wu Si finally understood. There was a smile on his face and he said: "The master wants to ask the imperial concubine to write another "Encouragement to Study" and "Three Years Questions", and then send someone to pretend to be good at it.
The person who copied it lured Wei De into taking the bait, and thus knew Wei De... No, I should say what the concubine's next step will be." Wei De is just a chess piece, and Wei Jingxuan is the real person who plans the plot.
Huang smiled and said: "You and Jinping are both old men who have been with me for more than ten years and are also my confidants. In comparison, you have more thoughts, so I sent you to come in and ask.
How about this plan?"
Wu Si hurriedly said: "As long as the person we are looking for acts carefully, this plan will definitely work." After that, he said flatteringly: "Master, this plan is really clever, and I admire it very much."
Wu Si's flattering words made Huang's smile freeze, and he said softly: "Once upon a time, I didn't know methods, let alone strategies, but now I know everything. Wu Si, tell me, is this a good thing or not?
bad thing?"
Wu Si lowered his eyes and said: "In my humble opinion, this...should be a good thing." He has followed Huang for many years and knows that she has the most kind-hearted temperament and is the most unwilling to be tainted by those conspiracies, but she did this
As a result, she was plotted again and again. If she hadn't trusted Xianyue, and Xianyue was willing to protect her, she would have been banished to the cold palace, or even lost her life.
