Yu Wenrui glanced at Situ Yan inadvertently, waved his hand coldly to signal Xiangling to stand up, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Continue the investigation and be sure to find the fake Xiangling."
At this time, a young eunuch knelt on the ground with a plop and said in panic, "Your Majesty, this must be a divine punishment! In fact... in fact... the reason why Concubine Shu was uneasy before was because she... was offering sacrifices to heaven.
After this incident, she had nightmares every night." The person who spoke was none other than Xiao Dengzi, the eunuch in Concubine Shu's palace.
As he spoke, he turned blue and trembled all over as he expressed the doubts in his heart, "I went to visit your Majesty a few days ago. Your Majesty mentioned it to me, saying that the person she offended was not a human being, and she also said that she would come and find her.
she."
The older Master Chen listened to the eunuch's words and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the goshawk is the sacred bird of Wenyuan Kingdom. If Concubine Shu had not angered the gods, how could she have suffered such a disaster?"
"What Mr. Chen said is true, Your Majesty——"
Just when everyone was talking about it, Yu Wenrui looked coldly, stared at them fiercely, and said coldly: "That's nonsense! Don't use these interfaces to frustrate me, let me continue to investigate this matter!"
Several ministers were also frightened by the emperor's expression and immediately did not dare to say anything more. After all, at this moment, angering the emperor was far more terrifying than angering the gods.
These people will always make trouble and start spreading rumors again. Yun Jingchu smiled coldly. This incident was obviously man-made. As mentioned earlier, someone deliberately knocked out the guard and deliberately knocked down the cage containing the goshawk.
Open it and think about it carefully, what did Concubine Shu go through in the prison last night, and except for the wounds on her body from the goshawk, no one saw her being bitten to death by the goshawk...
Yu Wenrui then turned around to give some instructions to several officials, and the concubines in the harem couldn't say any more, so they left one after another.
Just after leaving Shufangzhai, Yun Jingchu followed Concubine Hui and glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs at the door. They were all people who served Concubine Shu before. Although Concubine Shu was sent to the sky prison before, the Queen Mother
The people in Concubine Shu's palace were not dismissed, so after knowing that Concubine Shu was dead, everyone was crying and sad, probably because they were sad for their master, and they were also sad that they were about to be separated. General Yun Jingchu
My eyes fell on the group of palace maids, and I suddenly felt that something was wrong with one of the palace maids. I looked at her a lot, and finally fell on her neck. I found that she actually had an Adam's apple, and her figure looked relatively burly. No, this was a
man!
At this time, Concubine De's words interrupted Yun Jingchu's surprise, and she said respectfully to Situ Yan: "Empress, I have something to do, so please go ahead."
Situ Yan nodded and Concubine De took the lead. Looking at Concubine De's retreating figure, Situ Yan turned her eyes to Concubine Hui and said with a smile: "Sister Hui Concubine, are you in a hurry to return to Huining Palace?"
?Can I go to the lake with my sister to have a chat?
She actually took the initiative to chat with her, which surprised Concubine Hui. She glanced at Yun Jingchu without any trace, and finally nodded gently: "Okay."
Yun Jingchu followed Concubine Hui towards the pavilion. Suddenly she wanted to turn around and see clearly the appearance of the person disguised as a palace maid, but found that he was no longer among the crowd...
Soon, Concubine Hui and Situ Yan entered the red pavilion on the lake. Facing the wind blowing from the lake, they stood in silence with each other.
"Concubine Hui looks a little tired today. Is it because you didn't sleep well last night?" Situ Yan was the first to speak, with a rare hint of concern in her tone.
Concubine Hui's expression remained unchanged, and she said with an elegant smile: "I don't remember much about what happened last night, but I do feel a little unwell and have insomnia at night. Maybe I think too much."
"I wonder what my sister is thinking that bothers you so much?"
After Situ Yan finished speaking, Concubine Hui did not answer. She remained silent. The surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and she could only hear the sound of the gentle breeze...
Suddenly, Situ Yan's voice suddenly sounded in the quiet air again, "I'm wondering, how long will sister keep pretending?" She stood there with her hands behind her back, but they were already holding them together. It could be seen that Situ was
Yan's heart was already depressed to a certain extent at this moment.
Yun Jingchu stood aside, listening to these words, she couldn't help but taunt her lips. If we talk about pretending, I'm afraid you, Situ Yan, are the first, and no one dares to be the second.
But Concubine Hui was indifferent. She turned around gracefully with a smile on her face and said, "I don't know what the queen means by these words?"
Situ Yan looked at Concubine Hui coldly and said without mincing words: "You have deliberately alienated the emperor from me time and time again. Do you want to be satisfied with me as the queen?"
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding air froze instantly, and the two people looked at each other without saying a word.
In the pavilion on the lake, two figures stood quietly for a long time, while Yun Jingchu's elegant skirt fluttered in the wind. Her seemingly fair face was very cold, and her sharp eyes kept staring at Situ Yan, feeling cold in her heart.
Smile coldly, not all people will be like you, so deliberate, just to become a queen, at least she thinks Concubine Hui is doing it for the position of queen.
Concubine Hui's beautiful face was blown by the wind, showing a gentle smile, and said leisurely: "The Queen is really good at joking, I have not thought about this."
"How can I not have wishful thinking after receiving the emperor's favor?" Situ Yan's cold tone was even colder than her expression at the moment, and her sharp eyes were observing Concubine Hui's every move.
Concubine Hui smiled disapprovingly and said unhurriedly: "The Queen is joking again, I really don't know what you are talking about."
Situ Yan seemed to have heard some joke, raised her eyebrows, and said coldly: "Sister Hui Fei, my sister is not telling you a joke, she is telling the truth."
"Queen, in fact, we are all the emperor's women, and we all love the emperor..." Concubine Hui laughed elegantly, looked at Situ Yan and continued: "Why do we always have tit-for-tat?"
Yun Jingchu raised her eyebrows, surprised that Concubine Hui would say such a thing. She didn't believe that Concubine Hui loved Yu Wenrui, because if she really loved him, she would never be as generous as she is now, because loving someone is
A selfish person will never tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes.
"Sister Hui Concubine, don't worry. I understand that the emperor cannot be alone. I just hope that I can live in peace with Sister Hui Concubine, okay?" The smile on the corner of Situ Yan's mouth was very charming, and she stretched out her jade hand. Such an attitude was unusually weird.
, leaving everyone a bit confused.
Concubine Hui's eyes also flashed with surprise, but due to the appearance, she still reached out her thin hand in cooperation and took Situ Yan's thin hand.
But what she didn't expect was that just when she was about to take back her hand after shaking it, Situ Yan shook her hand hard. It looked like he was pushed away by her. His delicate body leaned back and he fell on the ground.
on the ground——
"Hui'er, you -" A scolding voice suddenly sounded from behind Concubine Hui, and Yu Wenrui strode over with a cold face. From the time of his appearance, it seemed that Concubine Hui reached out and pushed Situ Yan, and he passed by
Concubine Hui quickly bent down to help Situ Yan up. He turned to look at her, his deep eyes were like the light of a sharp knife. In an instant, Concubine Hui's heart trembled, and she instantly understood Situ Yan's intention. She had never seen such a look in the emperor's eyes before.
I have seen it before, but today it is colder and more severe than before.
Yun Jingchu looked at this scene and felt coldly in her heart. She couldn't help but applaud Situ Yan's superb performance. As the saying goes, it's easy to change the situation, but it's hard to change the nature. Situ Yan is not a person who gives up easily.
"Hui'er, what on earth are you doing?" Yu Wenrui asked coldly, his voice cold and cold.
Concubine Hui still looked dignified, without any fear at all. She was about to speak, but was interrupted by Situ Yan's voice——
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Situ Yan's face suddenly turned extremely pale, her expression distorted, she covered her lower abdomen with a pair of trembling hands, making a painful sound, holding the Emperor tightly, and pressed against him. Yu Wenrui clearly felt that her body was shaking.
, "Yan'er, what's wrong with you?"
Situ Yan's face became paler and paler, and Yu Wenrui suddenly felt that something was wrong. Without waiting for Situ Yan to speak again, he moved his long arms and picked her up across the waist. He just glanced at Concubine Hui meaningfully and hurried towards her without saying anything.
Walk towards Fengyi Hall.
Even if Yu Wenrui didn't say anything, you could still tell how much he cared about Situ Yan. Inexplicably, Concubine Hui felt a little bit disappointed in her heart, not because of Yu Wenrui, but because she was thinking about whether she would be so nervous about someone like that.
I, that tall figure flashed across my mind, and my eyes dimmed inexplicably.
"Empress, let's go too." Yun Jingchu stepped forward, deliberately not paying attention to the look in Concubine Hui's eyes.
"Huh? Okay!" Concubine Hui's eyes flickered, as if she had just regained consciousness.
"Jingchu, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely not enter the palace." Concubine Hui frowned lightly and sighed deeply.
Yun Jingchu didn't answer, just smiled faintly, then stepped forward to help Concubine Hui down the steps of the pavilion, but her heart was moved by what Concubine Hui just said. This was not her last thought before she died, but now she still
Being in the palace, you still have to live step by step...
Just like this moment, she was thinking about what tricks Situ Yan wanted to play this time, and what purpose was behind Concubine Shu's death?
In Fengyi Hall, Duan Yifeng looked solemn, and an unknown look flashed across his dark eyes. After walking out with striding steps, he clasped his fists and said respectfully to Yu Wenrui: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Queen has been pregnant for more than a month.
's pregnancy."
Wasn't it said before that Yan'er was infertile? And we still don't know what the drugs she has been taking for a long time are. In such a situation, she is pregnant? Duan Yifeng's words made Yu Wenrui's body freeze immediately. Is he happy?
But why does my heart have a strange feeling? What is it...
There was no smile on Duan Yifeng's face. He seemed to be struggling slightly, and the expression on Jun's face became serious. "Your Majesty, my queen's health has never been very good. With this child, her body will not be able to bear it..."
"What will happen?" Yu Wenrui raised his eyebrows coldly, but his tone could not hide his worry.
"It may endanger the Queen's life. I just suggested that the Queen get rid of the child, but..." Duan Yifeng told the truth, hoping to be selfish for himself for the last time, hoping that the emperor could change her mind, so he continued:
"But the empress insisted on keeping me, and asked the emperor to persuade the empress. After all, this is a matter of life and death."
"I understand, you can go down first." Yu Wenrui waved his hand without any expression on his face, turned around and entered Situ Yan's bedroom.
Slowly approaching, looking at the weak man on the soft couch, his heart still ignited a trace of pity. The pale face turned to him, and he raised his eyes slightly. This look would make any man special.
Pampered, Yu Wenrui sat beside the soft couch but said nothing.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that Dr. Duan is so amazing. He can really cure my concubine's disease..." She leaned on the thick chest, covering her belly, with tears of excitement in the corners of her eyes, "Brother Rui, thank you...
"
She was so excited that she no longer called out the emperor, but called brother Rui, which shocked him. In addition, looking at her like this and listening to these words, Yu Wenrui stared down at her and rubbed his fingertips.
Tears on her cheeks, "Take the baby away."
"Your Majesty..." Situ Yan's expression froze and she looked at Yu Wenrui in disbelief. He actually wanted to take away the child...
"Just now Imperial Physician Duan told me..." Situ Yan immediately stretched out her trembling hand to cover Yu Wenrui's lips. She kept shaking her head, tears already covering her whole face, "Your Majesty, I don't want you to
After taking away the child, Yan'er was really heartbroken when she knew she couldn't conceive. It was because she couldn't have Brother Rui's child. Now... Yan'er is really happy." She put a hand on her belly.
"This is the best gift the emperor has given to my concubine. I remember the emperor said before that as long as I can give birth to a child for the emperor, he will definitely be the prince and the future king of Tianyuan. Has the emperor forgotten it?"
"Yan'er." Yu Wenrui frowned, thinking of all the good things in the past, his heartstrings were touched.
"Your Majesty, Dr. Duan has superb medical skills. Since he can cure Yan'er's disease, I believe he can also help Yan'er and the child's safety." Situ Yan raised her watery eyes and continued: "He must have had something just now.
I told the emperor this because of my worries. I believe that if you give him time, he will be able to find a good way to cure me."
For some reason, the figure of a child suddenly flashed in his mind, and the childish voice still sounded in his ears, "Father, Father..."
Such a voice made him startled, and his eyes seemed to flash with a certain sadness. This was his former imperial son, the child with Shen Tianjiao. In his memory, he had never hugged him, or even looked at him.
But every time he sees himself, he will happily call himself father.
Inexplicably, his heart began to soften. Seeing Situ Yan's persistence again, he had no choice but to back down and said, "Well, let's wait until Doctor Duan comes up with a cure. If he can guarantee that both you and Huang Er will be fine."
