Four or five days after I arrived in the palace, Mrs. Xu secretly asked an imperial physician to take my pulse. After checking my pulse, the imperial physician's eyes were full of astonishment and his hands kept shaking.
I was surprised. Could it be that I was pregnant with a freak? Or my belly was so big that it scared him!
After questioning for a long time, the imperial doctor only said that everything was normal and that he wanted me to increase my nutrition. He prescribed anti-fetal medicine and asked Mrs. Xu to take it.
I frowned when I looked at the black medicine soup. It was a three-part poison. I didn’t feel any discomfort. What kind of pregnancy was it?
Cailing took the medicine bowl resolutely and said to me seriously: "Princess, for the safety of the young prince, please don't drink it!" As she said this, she quietly poured it down when Mrs. Xu wasn't paying attention.
I nodded in admiration. As expected, I grew up in the palace and knew the dangers involved. No matter what happens in the future, I will definitely find a good home for this girl.
Before I finished speaking, I didn’t expect little Comrade Cailing to hold my legs and start crying. I guess she wanted to hold my body, but since my belly was too big and it was difficult to hold, she changed the place.
.
She cried loudly and said that she would serve me forever and would never leave me until she died. Now that I was pregnant again, she would not leave me even if I killed her.
Actually, I'm not asking her to get married and leave me now. Why is she reacting so violently? Does she want to follow Xu's footsteps and never marry? If she has such thoughts, I will give her lessons even if I hold my stomach.
Okay, I really can't have such thoughts, it will be a big loss.
Since her rebirth until now, she is the first person who really thinks about herself. However, the more she hears her words, the more familiar she feels, as if she has said it more than once.
After crying for a long time, I saw that I was sitting still. She didn’t help me and I couldn’t move even if I wanted to! Cailing hugged my legs and shook them, and continued to cry, “Princess, you are so cruel and don’t want to move anymore...”
I coughed twice and said: "Yes, of course I want you, get up quickly and find me something to eat!"
Seeing that she was still motionless, I patted her shoulder lightly and said, "Don't worry! Don't even think about that stupid son of Mr. Sun's family!" This was really effective. As soon as I finished my words, Cailing started crying.
He stopped abruptly, stood up immediately, wiped his face, and said, "Princess, please wait a moment, I will get you some food right now!" He went out in high spirits like a normal person.
…
The days went by quickly as my belly got bigger day by day. The weather in July was so hot that I couldn't sit still. I kept the Cailing fan in my hand, and I didn't even feel cool. Mrs. Xu found a few pieces of ice for me from somewhere.
Put it in the room to make me feel better.
I learned from Mrs. Xu that the emperor's illness has improved, and I wonder if King Kang's crown prince ceremony will be held in these days.
It's just that I didn't wait for the "Crown Ceremony", but waited until the emperor wanted to meet me.
At Xu time that day, Mrs. Xu wrapped me tightly and put on an oversized black thin cloak. The big Zhaojun hat covered my eyes and nose. Only my mouth could be seen.
He walked into the palace on a small sedan chair and arrived at the emperor's bedroom through the back door.
…
"I have met the emperor."
"No need to kneel down." I struggled to kneel down, but the emperor said feebly, "Sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Pregnancy is really not an easy job, so I quickly sat down unceremoniously.
Looking up at the emperor, he was leaning on the soft couch, looking very tired, and his face was unnaturally red.
Immediately, the woman with a hot figure and charming appearance that she saw hiding at the door flashed in her mind. Mrs. Xu said that she was the newly canonized Mei Liangdi.
I heard from her words that this beauty was presented to the emperor by Wang Lin. I really admire Wang Lin's integrity. He sent a young and beautiful beauty to the bed of his daughter's husband. How could Concubine Shu be embarrassed? How could Prince Kang be honest?
Let’s take a look at the three views. I’m really sorry if I don’t accept it.
I guess Wang Lin's moral integrity has probably made him chop it into dumpling fillings and feed it to the dogs, and he has gone to Java with a distorted outlook on life.
Look at Mei Liangdi's seductive look, she's so charming, especially those charming eyes that look both angry and coquettish. A glance at you will make people's hearts flutter and make it difficult to restrain themselves, not to mention thinking with the lower body.
What about men.
I quickly glanced at the situation in the room and guessed what happened just now. Mei Liangdi must have just had a "bed exercise" with the emperor.
The warm smell in the room has not dissipated, and I couldn't help but frown slightly. The emperor has long passed the age of adultery. No matter how beautiful he is, he will not be able to control himself like this, not to mention that his condition has just improved.
My physical condition is really not suitable for strenuous exercise in bed.
The emperor leaned on the soft couch, took a sip of tea, looked at me, and then asked softly and unhurriedly: "How are you?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's okay!"
"It belongs to Lao Qi." The emperor asked calmly. He knew what he was asking, so I nodded to him honestly.
"I'm going to have an imperial grandson! The seventh child did not disappoint me!" The emperor sighed softly and said in a deep voice, "Do you know why I asked you to go to the nunnery to practice?"
I pondered, how do I know this? How should I answer it? The heart of an emperor is the most difficult to guess. If you are not careful, your head will move and never come back.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I am stupid and don't know." I replied honestly, looking directly into the Emperor's eyes sincerely.
The emperor nodded, "You do have the courage of Emperor Bingling. I hope you have her wisdom, and the arrangements I have made for you will not be in vain. Please help the seventh child!" He said and sighed again, "It's up to you.
Got it!"
I felt uneasy in my heart. I didn’t even know. I still had the guts?
At this time, a voice came from the door, "Your Majesty, Master Zhang has sent longevity pills and is waiting at the door." It was the voice of Eunuch Liang'an, the eunuch.
"Wait a moment longer!" the emperor said sternly.
Then, the emperor waved to me with great effort, "Come closer."
I struggled to get up and walked towards him, only to see him pull out a rickshaw bag from under the soft couch and hand it to me, "Send it to Lao Qi, hand it to him personally, I only believe in you!" It was a firm and gentle voice, but it was full of confidence.
With majesty and irresistible intimidation.
I looked at the emperor's serious face and sharp eyes in astonishment, and couldn't help but nodded firmly to him. I quickly took it and carefully put it in my arms. My body seemed to be a thousand times heavier than before.
"Go! Protect my grandson!" The emperor said solemnly.
With a solemn expression, I nodded firmly to the Emperor again, my heart was surging, and I raised my feet and walked out.
After taking two steps, he stopped. After thinking for a while, he turned around, walked to the emperor, knelt down with great effort, and said: "Your Majesty, I am brave, please stop taking longevity pills. It will be harmful to your body if you continue to take them for a long time."
One profit."
The emperor's eyes became sharp. He stared at me for a long time and then said: "You knew it, why didn't you tell me earlier." There was severity in his calm voice.
I broke out in sweat immediately, and the word "deceiving the emperor" quickly came to my mind. I was busy trying to calm myself down. It was better to tell the truth. It is best not to be clever when talking to smart people, otherwise you will die faster and more miserably.
"Returning to the emperor, I didn't dare to say anything when I first saw the emperor taking it. In fact, it was because I had just gotten married and was afraid of the emperor's majesty. It was also because I was timid and wanted to save my life. I hope the emperor would forgive me." Although I didn't say it was me.
Whether the emperor believes it or not is a big question whether my head is on my neck or not. A year ago, I said, who would believe a person’s words? I’m afraid even Sima Jue doesn’t believe it, let alone the emperor.
He will be accused of having evil intentions and trying to prevent him from living a long life!
The room became quiet for a moment. I didn't feel comfortable kneeling when I was healthy. Now that I am more than seven months pregnant, kneeling feels even more painful. After a while, I felt as if I had been there for several hours.
For a long time, I felt so heavy that I wanted to lie down.
"I forgive you, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" I struggled to get up from the ground.
As soon as I got up, I heard Eunuch Liang'an's voice coming again, "Your Majesty, the time has come. Master Zhang said it should not be delayed any longer."
"Let him come in," the emperor said.
"Your Majesty?" I couldn't help but turn around and shouted in a low voice in surprise. Why did I still take it when I knew it was poison? Maybe I was stupid!
"Go down and rest for a long time." The emperor solemnly nodded to me. I had no choice but to withdraw from the back door and walk out of the palace with Mrs. Xu who was waiting there.
As I walked, I felt anxious about what I was carrying in my arms, and there was a burst of music in my ears.
Mr. Xu told me that today is the Obon Festival, and the palace has invited monks to perform activities under the auspices of King Kang.
The sound of the music could be heard in the distance, and it seemed to be very lively. But the sky was not beautiful, it was very overcast, and there was no moonlight at all. It looked like it was going to rain.
Mrs. Xu led me out of the palace cautiously without having time to listen to the music. In order to avoid people’s eyes and ears, she hid the sedan that brought me in a remote place in the corridor. After walking for a long time, I was out of breath, so I let Xu
He stopped to rest.
Although Mrs. Xu was anxious, she saw that I was really unable to move, so she took me to the back of a rockery and helped me sit down. She told me to sit here and not move while she went to have the sedan carried nearby.
I agreed, sat down and gently tapped my tired legs.
It’s not that you can avoid some words if you don’t want to hear them. Just like now, all I want to do is return to the hidden courtyard where I live, lie down comfortably and let Cailing beat my legs, and then eat
Order something.
But things go counterproductive, just like there is a hand "pulling" you from somewhere, forcing you to listen to some things you shouldn't hear, and you can't even hide. Although I like to listen to gossip, it doesn't mean that I want to hear it all the time.
Listen, as if you really don’t want to hear it now.
"...Mother, I am guilty?"
"...Guilty? You promised me..."
Suddenly, the low voice of a man and a woman talking was heard from behind the rockery. Although the voice was low, I could hear it clearly from hiding on this side.
Upon hearing this, my heartbeat almost flew out of my chest, and I immediately identified who the two people speaking were.
Oh my god! It turned out to be Concubine Qin and General Tang Di. Tang Di actually came back from the border!
I tried my best to hold my breath and calm my panicked heartbeat. I didn't dare to move, praying that the two of them would never turn to my side.
"...I forgive you, sir, I didn't expect it to be His Royal Highness Prince Kang..."
"...What's the use of explaining at this time? I have already lost a son. Don't you feel a trace of sadness and regret in your heart?" At this point, Concubine Qin paused for a moment. After a while,
As if he had made a lot of determination, he sighed, "Yes, he is indeed as you guessed before, his surname is Tang. It's a pity that he died young. With your help, he would have survived."
, now my Jue'er is in need of your support, but you did something to pull out the fuel when he needed it most. Is it because he has nothing to do with you? You...are you really going to put me to death?
"If you can help Jue'er in this way and feel at peace with your wife's death, I will not hesitate to exchange my life for it..." Then came the sound of Concubine Qin's low sobs.
