Tang Di's voice was heard immediately, "...My queen, I deserve to die. I have betrayed my queen. Please don't worry, my queen. I will not embarrass the king of Yue. Even if Lingyi is named the crown prince, I, Tang Di, will not be embarrassed."
The emperor's salary means that one must be loyal to the emperor, and will never do anything that disobeys the emperor and the empress' entrustment!"
"... I hope that what the general said is no longer untrustworthy, and that Yuyao did something unbecoming of a woman with the general on the way to get married, let alone live up to the trust that has been entrusted to each other!"
"My lord, I will remember this for the rest of my life..."
…
What a mother! What a shocking scandal! What I heard was that I was so frightened that I didn’t dare to speak out. I was so nervous that my body was stiff and I didn’t dare to move. The clothes on my body were all wet. I gently wiped the stain on my forehead with my wet palms.
I was sweating and felt that the baby in my belly was moving restlessly, so I gently stroked my belly back and forth to express comfort.
There was finally no sound of voices in the bamboo forest behind the rockery, and only a slight rustling sound could be heard. It took a long time before the sound disappeared.
I was still stunned and unable to recover, until someone gently pulled me.
Looking back, Mrs. Xu was standing beside me at some point. She made a silent gesture towards me, and I nodded. She lifted me up with difficulty, holding me on the ground, and we both tiptoed out of the palace.
Go.
…
It started to rain. First it crackled on the banana leaves on the roof and the porch. Soon there was a swishing sound. As the sound of rain got louder, my heart became upset.
Leaning on the soft couch, it took me a long time to calm down my panicked mind. I looked at Mrs. Xu. Her face was calm, as if nothing had happened. She was truly an "old ginger". I guess she must have heard it too.
.
He took a sip of the tea handed over by Cai Ling, calmed down his mind, cleared his throat again, and then whispered: "Aunt Xu, what happened tonight..."
"Master, nothing happened tonight. The old slave stayed in the house to serve the master."
There is a saying that goes, "A man is old and a horse is slippery; an old rabbit is hard to catch an eagle." It doesn't sound like a compliment, but it is very reasonable. Mrs. Xu deserves to have been "mingling" in the palace for so many years. What she usually does is to figure out the master's master.
What I was thinking was that I, a little kid, knew exactly what to say as soon as I opened my mouth, so I was really worrying too much. I was speechless and just nodded to her in agreement.
It's already midnight, and I'm still making pancakes in bed. Although it's hard to turn over now, thanks to Cai Ling's help, I'm heavy and it's hot in summer, so Cai Ling kept fanning me until I fell asleep.
With.
It’s just that I really couldn’t sleep today. One moment I was thinking about what the emperor had given me, and the other I was thinking about the conversation between Concubine Qin and Tang Di. The latter’s scandal was so explosive that it rocked the entire palace.
The emperor's concubine and the minister actually had an affair. From what I heard, the two of them had been together since they were young, and they had a child. The third prince who died must have been their child.
Tang Di was indeed bribed by King Kang. He promised Concubine Qin not to help King Kang. Between his daughter and his lover, which side would he choose? This is really a headache!
I was thinking, if it hadn’t happened that Prince Kang wanted to marry Tang Lingyi, Concubine Qin would never have taken such a big risk to meet Tang Di privately, and also threatened Tang Di with the affair they had had for many years.
Di.
I thought about the gentle and dignified Concubine Qin, and the figure of Sima Jue appeared in front of my eyes. He must know the relationship between his mother-in-law and Tang Di, otherwise he would not have such a bad attitude towards Concubine Qin. I thought of Tang Ling again.
According to what she told me in the nunnery, it seems that she probably knows it too.
Is Sima Jue really taking advantage of Tang Lingyi? Thinking about Tang Lingyi, who is also a woman, I actually feel a little sympathy.
What a kind person, you are so loving and soft-hearted!
Sima Jue doesn’t know what he is doing at this time? Does he know that I am not dead? Does he know that he has a child? I really want to know what his reaction will be when he finds out!
I touched my belly, which is much bigger than the average pregnant woman. It was all because of him that I was like this. After planting, there was no one left. This made my aunt harvest by herself in the wind and rain. He was so incompetent as a father. I owe him so much.
Damn, I really miss him!
I looked at Cailing, who was dozing off, and thought of the Xu family again. In a few years, this girl will become another Xu family.
The palace is very suitable for cultivating people into human spirits!
I told Cai Ling that I was sleepy and asked her to rest. After she went out, I took out the things that the emperor handed over from my arms and looked at them through the weak candlelight. My eyes almost fell to the ground in shock, and my heartbeat accelerated again.
I feel like the baby in my belly is moving restlessly.
I wanted to find a place to hide this thing, and I searched here and there for a long time. I felt that it was not safe anywhere, and the stakes were too important, so I finally decided that it would be safest to keep it on my body.
When I touched this thing hidden in my underwear, I couldn't tell whether I was surprised or happy, but most of all, I felt sad. How to send this away? I have insomnia!
At the end of August in the 30th year of Xingyuan, the emperor went to the Qingyuan Palace to recuperate in order to recover his dragon body as soon as possible.
When Mr. Xu worriedly told me the news, I didn't think there was anything wrong. The beautiful scenery was more conducive to the emperor's condition improving.
What I was worried about was how to get out of the palace. At first, for the safety of myself and the child in my belly, I had to take this precaution and enter the palace. I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to get out of the palace now. All the gates outside the palace were guarded by King Kang's people.
There is something in me that I must send out of the palace. This is related to the fate of the Northern Jin Dynasty. The responsibility is really heavy!
Mrs. Xu is worried about me. She is counting the days and I am about to give birth. There are no midwives here. If the emperor is here, she can ask for an order and ask the emperor to send two midwives quietly. It should not be a problem. I am here
The secret pregnancy was expected, and only the emperor knew about it. Now that he had gone to Qingyuan, Mrs. Xu did not dare to go to her master rashly.
After pondering over it, Mrs. Xu decided to take the risk and ask a master to find a midwife for me.
However, she could not leave the courtyard. In addition to the two eunuchs, there were two more guards at the door. Although Xu could still go out to get food and living expenses, she was not as free as before with the guards accompanying her. It was found that
They were so strict that Xu and Cailing gave their valuable jewelry to the two guards, so they didn't come in to see who lived here.
I was even more anxious. How could I complete the task assigned by the emperor if I couldn't get out of the palace?
Mrs. Xu told me that everywhere in the palace, except for the eunuchs, was guarded by guards. It felt like there was a tense and depressing atmosphere everywhere in the palace. The palace people were cautious in their words and deeds. They did not dare to talk much when they met, and they did not know what was going on.
Son.
She was anxious because she said the baby in my belly had moved "downward" and was about to be delivered.
Finally, Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth and told me that if it didn't work, she would deliver the baby to me.
I asked her if she had ever delivered a baby, and she said she had only seen it from the sidelines.
I sighed. I had seen it on TV in my previous life. Watching it and doing it were two completely different things! I cried to death!
After two days, the atmosphere in the palace felt even more tense, because even Mrs. Xu was not allowed to go out. Two eunuchs delivered food to the door every day. The food was much less, and the food was not as good as before.
The three of us never had enough to eat, and I was pregnant with a child. Xu and Cailing only ate half full, leaving better and more refined food for me, but I still couldn't get enough.
The 30th year of Xingyuan, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.
I told Mrs. Xu and Cailing that I couldn't wait any longer and would try my best to get out of the palace, otherwise I would have to wait to die in the palace.
The two of them became even more worried when they heard this. It was difficult to get out of the courtyard, let alone get out of the palace.
…
At the second watch, the three of us looked at the dancing candlelight with big eyes and small eyes filled with worry.
I leaned on the bed and touched my big, scary-looking belly. I was so worried that I couldn't even give birth.
"Master, this old slave thinks that the master is pregnant with twins, otherwise why would his body be so heavy?" Mrs. Xu's words startled me.
"Aunt Xu is absolutely right. This slave also feels the same way." Cailing responded.
"Twins?" Oh my god, I really can't tell why my belly is so big. When they said that, I thought about the movement in my belly, which was indeed a bit abnormal.
Looking at my big belly, I grinned and burst into tears. How could two children be born without a midwife?
If I don't survive, and if I can't have a caesarean section, I'm going to go to the Lord of Hell again. It's so sad!
"Master, don't worry. Tomorrow, I will risk my life to find a stable mother-in-law for my master." Mrs. Xu saw my worry.
"Don't worry, princess, I will definitely rush out with Aunt Xu to find Po Wen." The little girl Cailing said with dignity and dignity.
I grinned and wanted to cry. You are all gone. If something unexpected happened, wouldn’t I die faster?
Before I could say anything, I heard a gentle knock on the door. The three of us looked at each other in surprise. No one had ever come here after living here for so long. Who would come in the middle of the night?
Mrs. Xu asked Cailing to accompany me in the house. She went to take a look. Cailing picked up the fan and placed it beside me. "Don't worry, princess, there are slaves..." At this point, she looked at the fan in her hand.
, maybe she felt that she was not very strong, and she was busy twisting her head around and looking for someone to match her hands. Finally, she rushed over and picked up a handful of chicken feathers in her hand, and guarded me by my side with a majestic look.
She pursed her lips tightly, breathing heavily, and her eyes widened.
When I look at that little girl and Cailing's little body, I really want to cry!
After a while, Mrs. Xu came back, followed by two people. The person walking in front was wrapped in a black cloak, and his whole face was hidden in a big Zhaojun hat. Behind him was a person who looked like Xu.
An old palace man of about the same age.
I struggled to straighten up and look at the person coming. The man in the cloak took off his photo hat. I was shocked when I saw it, and struggled to get up to salute.
The person came forward and helped me, and said softly: "My child, don't move such a heavy body."
The person who came was none other than the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother asked Xu, Cai Ling and the old palace servants who came with her to guard outside. Cai Ling quietly threw the chicken feathers to the corner and wiped her forehead.
The Queen Mother looked at my belly and frowned, "Looking at your situation, you're going to give birth in a few days. The Ai family has something to take care of, but I'm afraid it won't be possible."
I am a person who likes to show off my strength at all times, and I love to do things for my friends like going through fire and water, stabbing each other in both directions, especially when an elder like the Queen Mother has to entrust things to her. Besides, I have always had a good impression of her, so I didn’t even think about it.
I want to say immediately and cheerfully: "Your Majesty, please make it clear that I will do my best without any hesitation." I don't want to think about my current situation. I really let the camel go without bragging!
The Queen Mother smiled bitterly, looked at my belly and said helplessly: "My child, I understand your heart. I am afraid that you are full of ambition but not strong enough."
I took a look at my belly and immediately felt weak and discouraged.
The Queen Mother took a long breath and sighed softly: "Go out of the palace and give birth to my grandson. The palace is not at peace and things are going to change!"
