Returning to the palace, he smiled at Xiao Yunzi who poured white chrysanthemum and mulberry leaf tea and said, "You are very good at finding people when you go to Qintian Prison. Devouring Novel www."

Xiao Yunzi said with a smile: "Ji Weisheng was originally a fellow slave, a frustrated scholar. He failed the exams many times and then relied on Zu Yin to work as an idle clerk in the Qintian Prison. He was always pushed down by others."

I stood up holding his hand, smiling and stroking a white parrot on the shelf. The one in Tangli Palace had died long ago due to lack of care. So Xuan Ling gave me another one to relieve my boredom. I gave

Adding water to the parrot stand, he slowly said: "Everyone wants a chance, and when the opportunity comes, he has to dare to gamble. Either he will be prosperous, or he will be depressed for the rest of his life. Ji Weisheng made the right bet, and I also won." I

After a pause, "I just didn't expect him to be able to talk like that." I laughed: "People who know how to seize opportunities are very smart. I like to deal with smart people. I will make good use of him in the future. He has more than one talent.

Master of Ceremonies, Imperial Heavenly Supervisor."

Little Yunzi giggled and thanked Ji Weisheng without saying anything. Just as he was talking, he saw Hua Yi walking in quickly and whispered: "Your Majesty! Jingchun Palace has been compromised."

I nodded, "I got it." After saying that, I got up and held Jin Xi's hand as I walked outside the Yimen. I saw a plume of black smoke rolling towards the south in the distance. Although the fire was not big, it was scary to see.

I could hear people shouting and running around outside. I think they all rushed to Jingchun Hall to put out the fire.

I stood firmly, my voice seemed understated in the warm wind, "How did it start the fire?"

Hua Yi raised her eyebrows and said: "The fire in the small kitchen was not careful - apart from the people in Jingchun Palace not being careful, what other reasons could there be."

I remained silent, just smiled quietly and was lost in thought. At some point, Huanbi stood quietly beside me and said softly: "What a pity! Why not just burn her to death and let the whole thing be over."

I looked back at her, and there was deep hatred in her eyes, like the dark night. I sighed softly, "Why don't I want to - it's just that it's not the right time yet, and I don't want to take advantage of her."

Xiao Yunzi lowered her hands and said respectfully: "At this time, the qi can also flow away, which shows that Concubine An Gui is really an unlucky person."

With a smile on her lips, Hua Yi said in a low voice: "The emperor was a little anxious when he heard that the Jingchun Palace was flooded. He only shouted to put out the fire and did not visit Concubine An Gui."

I just stared intently in the direction of Fengyi Palace and sighed: "Concubine An Gui is so unlucky, serving the queen would be a conflict."

Jin Xi smiled slightly and said, "Yes. If the queen is well now, it means that Concubine An Gui is really as ominous as the celestial phenomena says; if the celestial phenomena are not accurate, then the queen will have to be ill for a long time and will be unable to interfere in the affairs of the harem."

I just smiled and said nothing, "Although Yang Fangyi is no longer here, how will she spend her time with the people around her?"

Jin Xi said from the side: "The ordinary servants will naturally go to serve the new master. Only Yang Fangyi's two dowry men, Xiuzhu and Xiuqin, have to be sent back."

I pondered for a moment and said, "I saw that those two girls were doing well in the past, so I guess Li Chang arranged to go to Yiyuan Hall to serve tea and snacks."

Jin Xi thought for a moment, "That's a good job to serve the emperor closely..."

"I want to praise them and ask them to speak and do things in front of the emperor more often."

Jinxi said "yes" and hurried away.

For more than a month after that, although Xuan Ling occasionally received rewards and comforts, he never heard of going to Jingchun Palace. When he mentioned it occasionally, he only said: "I don't know why before, as soon as I went there, I felt like my soul was hooked, and I couldn't bear to leave anymore. Now.

It’s okay if I don’t go for a long time.”

I just laughed and said to him, "An Guifei only has her own benefits."

However, Xuan Ling's heart finally calmed down.

Because I asked Xuan Ling and the Queen Mother to hide the fact that I was pregnant with twins, and because my lower abdomen was getting bigger, the belt of the corset was gradually loosened, making the abdomen look even bigger.

I also deliberately ignored it. Occasionally I held Jin Xi's hand while walking in Shanglin Garden, or if a palace concubine passed by and stopped to say hello to me, their eyes would all fall on my obvious belly, and I quickly suppressed my doubts and surprise.

I just pretended not to take it seriously, and just smiled and talked to them for a few words.

Just a few times, rumors in the palace became rampant, and everyone secretly speculated that my abdomen was larger than that of ordinary people. More than once, I heard the concubines privately discussing, "How come Concubine Wan's belly looks like it's six months old?"

Could it be..."

I believe that rumors always run the fastest, with warm breath on the lips and teeth, slightly malicious, mysterious and exciting.

Occasionally, I pass by the lush flowers silently, and I can hear the suppressed excited whispers behind the graceful branches and leaves and gorgeous flowers.

"Concubine Wan..." someone mentioned in a low voice.

"What Concubine Wan!" Someone sneered like a rusty blade, scratching people's ears, "She's just a deposed sister-in-law. She looks like a fairy like the cheap maid Fu Ruyin. If it weren't for her belly,

The child here, is the emperor willing to give her such a position?"

"Child?" Some people even said with disdain and disdain, "Who knows where that child came from? Look at her big belly. She looks like she is six months pregnant. It is enough to compare with Xu Jieyu's almost eight-month-old belly.

Than—" his voice lowered, and he chuckled: "She is staying alone in Ganlu Temple. She might not be able to bear the loneliness and go find some wild monk..."

"Hush -" someone reminded softly, "She is one of the three concubines after all. You are not afraid that the walls have ears, so be careful!"

It was the same voice just now, with a sharp tone, "Yan Cairen is just timid, afraid of what she will do! Apart from her belly to rely on, what other support does she have? If I really find out that the child in her belly is a bastard

, let’s see how I can make a scene and make her look good!”

Another person seemed to be unconvinced and said with a smile: "Sister Mu is so confident that my sister is waiting for a good show. If my sister really has the day to overthrow Concubine Wan, I will definitely be convinced. I am afraid that my sister will meet Concubine Wan.

My dear, I was so frightened that I couldn’t say anything.”

The man snorted coldly: "Am I afraid of her? If I am lucky enough to be pregnant with the emperor's dragon seed, it will be unadulterated. Who cares about the black-hearted seed in her belly?"

I glanced at Huanbi next to me. She was shaking with anger and her face changed. I just raised my hand silently. Huanbi understood, ran a few steps away and chuckled: "Master An, please come quickly.

Baojuan looks at the flowers blooming well here."

The person behind the flowers was immediately stunned and said anxiously: "No! It seems that Concubine An Gui and Baojuan beside her heard that Concubine An Guisu and Concubine Guan were getting close. It would be bad if she heard anything!

"

Another person complained: "It's all your fault, sister, for being so quick-tongued. If Concubine An talks about it, it will be our good fruit to eat, so why don't you leave quickly!" After that, he picked up his skirt and left in a hurry.

Huanbi saw several people running away, and sneered repeatedly: "I don't think you are a daredevil, but you will gossip behind your back and be annoying!"

As if it had nothing to do with me, I just smiled and said, "Did you see who it was?"

Pin'er, who was with Huanbi, said: "The ones who can really see it are Mu Guiren, Yan Cairen and Yang Shunyi."

I picked up the broken pearls on my sleeves and said slowly, "Just write it down."

Huanbi said: "Miss, aren't you angry?"

I sighed indifferently, "Angry? Do they deserve it?" My laughter was cold and cold, shaking the dewdrops on the flower branches, "Let them talk, there are many."

At noon that day, Xuan Ling came to sit in the Rouyi Hall and said with uncontrollable anger: "The evil people in the palace have reached such an extent, it is really unbearable for me!"

I used silk to gently wipe the sweat from his knife-cut temples, and said gently: "Why is the emperor so angry?"

His anger was still lingering, so he shook my hand and said, "Huan Huan, if I tell you, you will definitely be angry."

I shook my head and smiled, "I will definitely not be angry."

He was surprised, "Why?"

My indifferent smile is like a mist floating on my face, hazy and vague, "I have heard more filthy words recently than when I was banned. I feel that the evil of rumors seems to be endless, but if

There is really no need to be angry about this.”

Xuan Ling was startled, and the worry in his eyes became deeper and deeper, like a thick dark cloud, covering his eyes, "Huan Huan, tell me, what did you hear?"

There was scalding hot water in the pot, and I slowly poured it into the cup. The dry and light rose buds bloomed beautifully in the boiling water, like a smoker's drunken face, blooming on the plump and drunken cheeks of a noble concubine.

.I smiled softly, "What I heard must be a hundred times worse than what the emperor heard, so if I am not angry, there is no need for the emperor to be angry either."

"You know how disgusting their dirty words are, and I feel sorry for you for being innocently wronged."

"Since the Emperor understands that I am wronged, I am not wronged. As for what others say, it is up to them." The cool breeze in the palace gently lifted up the soft hair after bathing, and fell down from the temples.

With a little careless tenderness, I said, "The emperor also said that it's hard to listen to, so there's no need to listen to it, let alone pay attention to it." I took his hand and handed the rose tea to him, "Although this kind of tea is not expensive,

, but when I smell it, my heart feels refreshed and my heart is full of joy. There are so many happy things in the world, why worry about the unpleasant things."

Xuan Ling kissed the palm of my hand, with deep joy and relief in his deep eyes, "Huan Huan, I only felt you were gentle before, but now you are even more peaceful and calm."

I tucked my loose hair behind my ears and chuckled, "Your Majesty said this, I feel embarrassed."

He sighed with emotion: "You worked so hard for me to be pregnant, and you are pregnant with twins. Instead, the people in the palace are gossiping and slandering you. I only need to think about it for a moment to make me feel angry."

I endured the humiliation in my heart and still greeted people with a smile, "I have practiced hard in Ganlu Temple with a pure heart. It can be seen that I have gained a lot. At least I have peace of mind and can save myself and my happiness." I looked at him with a somewhat pleading tone.

, "The emperor was angry when he came up just now. I beg the emperor, no matter what you hear or who says it, don't be angry, let alone punish the Sixth Palace for this."

Xuan Ling looked hesitant, "I think it's unfair that you will not be punished if you make a mistake."

I lowered my eyelids and said in a low voice: "If the emperor wants to punish you, can you handle it? There are many people in the palace, and if you really want to care about each other, there will be trouble. Not to mention..." My eyes were as clear as water, full of water.

Circulation, "The emperor only thinks it is to accumulate blessings for our children."

Xuan Ling couldn't help but beg me, and no matter how hesitant, he finally agreed. What's more, he might not feel more pity and distress for those beautiful youthful faces after being severely punished.

This matter was pressed again and again, and I just pretended not to know. I rarely even went out of Rouyi Palace, and just stayed quietly. Xiao Yuner, Pin'er, Hua Yi and others who were sent out would secretly slander him.

The list of people is listed with me.

I was lying on the couch, holding up a moon wheel and slowly massaging my face. I listened to Huanbi reciting "Sou Shen Ji" to me, and occasionally made fun of me to pass the time. Huanbi said: "Young lady has a big belly."

The matter caused a lot of fuss in my head, but the young lady was still as stable as a rock. This servant couldn't understand it for a moment, but that day, he suddenly remembered what the young lady said, and then he came back to his senses."

I took a loquat in my mouth, and the sweet juice slowly flowed into my throat. I said lazily: "I just returned to the palace, and I was pregnant and pampered. There are people who flatter me, and there are people who slander behind my back."

In other words, it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and there is inevitably the risk of being attacked from both sides. It would be better to use this matter to separate you and me."

Huanbi turned her head to think about it and said, "Now they think that the situation has changed. Those who slander you must be your enemies, and those who remain silent are your friends and can help each other."

I looked up and smiled, "How can it be so easy? Those who destroy me are enemies, but those who remain silent may not be friends. For example, Concubine Jing has always been wise and protective, but the one in Jingchun Palace has also been silent until now.
