The body that was pressing on my arm was quickly lifted up. Countless people were genuinely or pretending to be concerned and asked the owner of the body, Du Liangdi, "How is it? Are there any injuries?" Another person ran away in a hurry.
I went out to ask for the imperial doctor. www. A group of people gathered around her to greet her, and almost no one came to ask if I was injured. I leaned on the ground, the smell of earth and grass filled my nose, and I could clearly see that the whitish grass roots were moist and white.
The fallen flowers all over the ground were as red as blood. I struggled to get up, but my arm hurt as if it was about to break, and I really couldn't get up. Concubine Jing and Chun'er hurried over, and carefully helped me up and sat down. Chun'er was anxious.
Tears fell down and she cried: "Sister Zhen, are you okay?"
I stretched out my hand to touch the sore spot on my cheek, and there was a streak of blood on my hand. The scarlet color fell on my white fingertips, and there was a faint fishy smell. I couldn't help but feel scared. I have always valued my appearance, but now it is damaged, although it is not serious.
, but I can’t help but feel anxious in my heart.
Concubine Jing was also sad. She looked carefully and whispered: "It looks like someone was caught by pine nuts just now. Fortunately, the injury is not deep, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Alas, what if you were injured even a little bit?"
How good? I smiled bitterly. In the eyes of others, I am just a concubine who overestimated her abilities and competed with Concubine Hua for favor and lost her favor. What does it matter?
The pain on my arm made me break into a cold sweat, and the bright spring light made stars dance in front of my eyes. It took me a long time to say three words, "It's okay."
Chun'er turned pale with fright, pulled my sleeve and said, "Sister, don't scare me."
As soon as my sleeve moved, my arm immediately started to hurt. Seeing my pale face, Concubine Jing quickly shouted to stop Chun'er. Chun'er was so frightened that she didn't dare to move. She just stood beside me with a sad face.
The queen became angry, and while she was comforting Du Liangdi, she ordered the concubines to stop making any noise. When she turned around, she saw me sitting sideways, and she hurriedly called out: "Zhen Jieyu is not in good condition either. Let's help her into the side hall with Du Liangdi."
Take a rest and ask the imperial doctor to come in and take a look."
I finally felt better after lying on the couch in the side hall. The person who came in to ask for pulse was Zhang Mi from the Taiyuan Hospital. The Queen was afraid that Du Liangdi had fetal gas, so she called him over anxiously and looked at me with a little helplessness and comfort.
After one glance, I immediately said: "Please take sister Liangdi's pulse first. The emperor's heir is in a hurry."
The queen showed a faint look of approval. Zhang Mi took her pulse quietly. Du Liangdi looked worried and anxious, but she looked fine. There was silence around her. I don't know whether she was worried about Du Liangdi's pregnancy or whether they were pregnant with ulterior motives. I
I endured the severe pain in my arm and listened to the "tick" sound of the copper leakage. The spring light outside the window was bright. I was lying on the couch. I felt dizzy again and again. I just felt that the spring light was so far away from me.
It was so far away that I couldn't reach it with my hands. Zhang Mi's slightly joyful voice sounded in my ears: "The little master Liangdi is fine, and the emperor's heir is also safe. I'm really lucky. It's just that the little master was frightened, so Wei Chen fired a few shots
Just take the soothing medicine and you’ll be fine.”
The queen seemed to be relieved and recited a few words of Buddha before saying, "I feel relieved now. Otherwise, it would be a sin to be sorry for the emperor and our ancestors."
The expressions on the faces of the people beside her were complicated and difficult to explain. After a moment, Qin Fangyi smiled and said: "After all, Sister Du is so lucky, it's good that she is fine after all." Then everyone smiled and spoke to Du Liangdi to comfort her.
The queen added: "Zhen Jieyu also fell down over there. I'm afraid she was injured somewhere. Let the imperial doctor take a look at her."
Zhang Mi bowed to accept the order, looked at it carefully and said: "The little master's face is a skin injury, just apply some plaster and it will be fine. It's just a sprain of the arm, you need to take good medicine." He sat down again and took a pulse. The sun shined through the window lattice.
The shadow fell on his slightly gray beard with strange and clear light and shadow. He suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Congratulations, little master."
Chun'er was so anxious that she shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? Sister Zhen's hand was injured and you still congratulate her!"
I was stunned for a moment, and vaguely understood something. I couldn't help but feel joy from the bottom of my heart. I hesitated and couldn't believe it, and asked: "You mean-"
He pressed it to the end and said, "Congratulations, little master. You are already nearly two months pregnant." I was surprised and happy. I sat up from the couch and felt a throbbing pain in my hand. I couldn't help but feel the pain.
I called out, and the queen looked at me with joy and scolded me: "How come you are so frizzy even though you are pregnant?" Then she asked the imperial doctor: "Are you serious?"
Zhang Mi said: "I have been practicing medicine for decades, so I still have some confidence in this. I just want to report back to the queen that little master Jieyu is weak. Just now she fell and was frightened, and the fetal image is a little unstable. I will wait for you to prescribe a few doses.
Let me use the recipe for safe and healthy pregnancy, and if I keep it quietly, it should be fine."
The queen said with a smile: "Then please ask the imperial doctor to take more trouble. I will entrust Zhen Jieyu and her unborn child to you."
Zhang Midao: "Wei Chen must do his best. Mobile phone visit: 16Κ"
The queen sat down next to me gently, "Doctor Zhang's medical skills are excellent, don't worry."
I smiled and said, "I'm very grateful that the queen takes good care of me."
Concubine Jing said with a smile: "That's good. I had a false alarm today, and it turns out that Du Liangdi is fine, and sister Zhen has a happy pulse again. It's really a double happiness."
The Queen kept saying: "Yes, yes, yes. Concubine Jing, you will accompany me to the Tongming Palace tomorrow to repay God's kindness. Concubine Chou and Concubine Hua will also go."
Concubine Chou smiled quietly and agreed. Concubine Hua smiled very reluctantly and said: "I have been feeling unhappy for the past two days, so I won't pass."
The queen looked displeased, and suddenly heard a weak voice saying: "I am not in good health, and Concubine Hua's body is not happy anymore."
When Concubine Hua was cut off, she immediately looked back with a stern face and said, "Who do you think I am? Concubine Duan is very diligent in her steps."
Everyone turned their heads when they heard the sound, but they saw that Concubine Duan was coming. She ignored Concubine Hua's words. The queen smiled and said: "It's such a rare visitor, why are you here? Today is really a good day. You look good."
."
Concubine Duan was reluctantly supported by the maid and bowed, saying: "This is all a great blessing to your Majesty. The imperial doctor asked me to walk more under the sun in spring. I didn't want to go to Shanglin Garden and heard such a big noise here. Sir.
I feel uneasy, so I must come over and have a look."
The queen said: "It's nothing, it's just a false alarm."
The Queen was concerned that Concubine Duan was sick, so although she joked with her, she did not let her get close to me and Du Liangdi. Concubine Duan also understood the situation, but said goodbye after greeting her twice.
I bowed to Concubine Duan to say hello, and she only responded lightly. I noticed that although she was talking to the queen and not looking at me, she was facing me sideways and her left hand was tightly curled into a fist until she said goodbye.
He stretched out a finger in my direction, then touched the crescent-shaped gold necklace on his chest with his right hand, and seemed to take a deep look at me unintentionally.
I just thought she was strange, but I lowered my head and thought about it and immediately understood.
As soon as Concubine Duan left, Xuan Ling, who had received the news, rushed in almost as if there was wind in his robes. He ran straight to my bed, held my hand tightly and looked at it carefully, and his eyes gradually stopped on mine.
Lower abdomen. He stared at me blankly for a long time, not caring about being in front of others, and suddenly hugged me and said: "It's so good! Huan Huan - so good!"
I was startled by his behavior, and in a blink of an eye I saw the Queen lowering her head and stroking the hem of her clothes as if not paying attention. Concubine Hua's face was ashen, and the others also had different expressions. I was embarrassed and ashamed, so I hurriedly stretched out my hand to push him and said: "Your Majesty, you are holding me down."
Concubine's hand."
After half a month of absence, Xuan Ling became a little thinner. He let go of me in a hurry and saw two red scratches on my face, with blood still oozing out. He tentatively stretched out his hand to touch it and said, "Why are you hurt?"
My heart felt sour, I turned my head to cover the scars on my face and said, "I have such a shameful face that I cannot bear to see the Emperor."
He didn't say anything, and saw that there was plaster on my arm. He turned around and saw Du Liangdi lying there too. He frowned and said, "What's going on?"
His tone was not harsh, but his eyes were sharp. Everywhere he went, the concubines lowered their heads and kept silent. Du Liangdi was greatly frightened. Seeing Xuan Ling come in without caring about her first, she had already accumulated a lot of grievances.
.Now that Xuan Ling asked this question, he naturally sobbed and told everything that happened.
Xuan Ling refused to listen, and became angry when he heard it. Before he could say anything, Concubine Chou, Concubine Hua and others all knelt down. Xuan Ling didn't even look at them and said to the queen, "What did the queen say?"
The queen said calmly: "What happened today was all unintentional mistakes by all the sisters." The queen paused for a moment, then looked at Concubine Hua and said in an understatement: "Concubine Hua, you can't blame her if the pearl chain is not firm."
Xuan Lingxuan raised his eyebrows and finally said nothing. He just said lightly: "Pearl chain? Go and send the craftsman who made the chain and he will never be allowed to enter the palace again. If there is any break, he will have his neck chopped off as well."
Concubine Hua didn't feel anything. Concubine Chou, who was kneeling next to her, was trembling with fear. She was completely different from her calm demeanor in the courtyard just now. Concubine Chou said with a tearful voice: "I really didn't mean it.
At that time, the armor on the concubine's finger somehow caught the hair of the pine nut. I think it hurt it, which frightened it and almost hurt Du Liangdi." Concubine Chou kept sobbing: "The pine nut scratched the back of the concubine's hand.
So I couldn't hold it and let it escape. Fortunately, Zhen Jieyu sacrificed her life to save her, otherwise I would have done a lot of harm." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and there were two bloody paw prints across his right hand.
Maintain the white and delicate back of your hands.
Xuan Ling said indifferently: "Who raised that beast Song Zi?"
The queen was startled and knelt down and said: "I am guilty. I raised the pine nuts for fun. I have always been docile. But today I am so crazy. It is really my fault." As she said this, she turned to the palace attendants beside her and shouted.
: "Go find that beast and beat it to death. It has caused such a catastrophic disaster. You can't keep it anymore!"
Concubine Chou was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak. She could only hear Songzi's shrill screams which gradually became inaudible. Seeing the queen say this, Xuan Ling couldn't say anything. He glanced at Concubine Chou and said, "Although you have suffered too."
I'm hurt, but today's disaster has nothing to do with you. I will fine you half a year's salary and go back to think about your mistakes." Concubine Chou's face turned pale, she was ashamed and she lowered her head and sobbed.
The queen sighed and said: "Today's events are indeed happening one after another and it is overwhelming. But Zhen Jieyu, you are too careless. You don't even know that you are pregnant, and you still rush out to save people like this. Fortunately, you were not injured. If you were,
Nothing is wrong at all, this is a major matter that affects the lifeline of the royal family."
I bowed my head in shame, and the queen scolded Jin Xi and others: "I asked you to serve my mistress so hard, but you are so confused about such a big thing as my mistress' pregnancy. If anything goes wrong today, I will send you all to violence."
Room service.”
The queen rarely gets so angry, so I can't help but argue: "It's none of their business, it's my own negligence. I just think it's spring sleepiness when I feel lazy. My menstruation has been postponed for half a month. I've always been out of shape. This is also normal."
Yes. What’s more, the epidemic in the palace has not yet subsided, and I don’t want to disturb the imperial doctor’s treatment.” I smiled and said, “I saw that all my sisters were sick and vomiting when they were pregnant, but I don’t have such symptoms.”
Cao Jieyu smiled and said to me: "Everyone says that my sister is smart, but there are times when things don't make sense. The symptoms of happiness depend on each person's constitution. When I was pregnant with Emperor Wen Yi, I was four or five months old.
It only hurts happiness so much."
Concubine Hua also smiled and faced Xuan Ling and said: "Your Majesty does not have many children. Du Liangdi was pregnant not long ago, and now Zhen Jieyu is also pregnant. It can be seen that God has blessed me with a great week. I congratulate you, Your Majesty."
Concubine Hua's words hit Xuan Ling's mind, and as expected Xuan Ling smiled brightly. Concubine Xingui also said: "When I was pregnant with Shu and Emperor Ji, the imperial doctor once warned me many times that we should be most careful in the first three months. Now Jieyu is taking a good rest."
That’s right, he’s still injured.”
Everyone talked a lot and offered many comforts, but Concubine Chou stood aside and cried silently. The queen said: "It is better to send sister Jieyu back to the palace first, and order the imperial doctor to take care of her."
Xuan Ling said to the queen: "Today is the twenty-third, and the twenty-sixth is the day for the concubine's canonization. I ordered the Ministry of Etiquette to confer Jieyu Zhen as the concubine of Guan Dynasty on the same day, and she will take the throne of Tangli Palace. The queen will also take care of the matters.
Bar."
The queen looked at me with a smile and said: "This is what it should be. Although life is a little tight, I will definitely get it done, not to mention Concubine Hua is here, so the emperor can rest assured." Finally, Concubine Hua's self-cultivation is not bad, and in Xuan
Ling still maintained a faint smile in front of him.
Xuan Ling smiled with satisfaction, took my hand and helped me up, saying, "I will accompany you back."
Lying on the couch, I watched Xuan Ling instructing Jin Xi and the others to go about their business. At one moment, Liu Zhu would bring me some tea to drink. At another moment, Huanbi would ask Huanbi to raise two pillows so that I could lean on them comfortably.
Jingqing went to close the window to prevent the wind from blowing at me, and soon asked Xiao Yunzi to change the softer silk blanket to cover me. People in the whole room were making a fuss, and they were snickering with their mouths pursed.
I pushed him and said, "How can you be so delicate? It makes people uneasy."
He patted his forehead and said, "I am really confused. You are most afraid of noise when raising a baby." Then he said to Jin Xi, Xiao Yunzi and others, "You all should go out."
I hurriedly said: "Hey, if you send them all away, who will wait on me?"
He held my hand, kissed it gently, and said softly: "Can I serve you?"
I smiled and said, "What does your Majesty look like? People who don't know may think that I am frivolous." I straightened his golden crown that was a little crooked from running and said, "This is not the first time that Your Majesty has heard that a concubine is pregnant.
Why are you still so happy? There is already Du Liangdi."
He held my shoulders and said, "How can our children be comparable to others?" He gently rubbed my injured arm: "You are really stupid, even if you don't have children, you rushed to save Du Liangdi from her injuries like this.
How can it be better if you are covered?"
I looked at the bouquet of peach blossoms in a vase on the table from a distance. The flowers were in bloom, and I smiled and said: "I am not going to save her, I am saving the flesh and blood of the emperor in her belly."
He was moved and hugged me tightly in his arms. His itchy beard gently rubbed my cheek. He whispered: "Fool! Even if she has a child, she can't compare with you in my heart."
I lowered my head and saw that the water-red silk brocade quilt was embroidered with a pattern of brilliant Phoenix parasol trees twisted with blue and red gold and silver threads. The Phoenix parasol tree, the women in the palace believed that this was a pattern of a husband and wife who depended on each other. It was densely packed and dazzling in color.
It hurts my eyes after being there for so long. Du Liangdi can’t compare with me, so what about Concubine Hua?
The closer Xuan Ling got, the stronger the scent of "Tiangong Qiao" on his body became. My room was always filled with incense, but it could not cover up the strong fragrance of his body. "Tiangong Qiao" was the precious and precious product that Concubine Hua loved most.
Fat powder, no one else.
I held my breath quietly, trying not to smell the scent of Concubine Hua on him.
He didn't realize it, and his voice became gentler, "I know you have been wronged these days because of Concubine Hua."
I smiled casually, "Why do I feel wronged? Your Majesty made Feng Shuyi your concubine. I understand."
He said: "You are a smart person. If Ruozhao is a sensible person, she will naturally know the reason. I am very relieved about her."
I said: "Sister Jing Fei is very good to me. She has a calm temperament, and I feel at ease."
Just as he was talking, Jin Xi brought the bird's nest in, and Xuan Ling personally fed it to me and said, "Now that you are a noble concubine, according to the regulations, Yingxin Hall should be changed to Yingxin Hall, but you are pregnant, so for the time being.
It is taboo to do any construction work."
I drank a few sips slowly and said: "It's good to live like this. Just change the name of the hall to the name of the palace. Now the treasury is not as good as usual, so just be frugal if you can. There are many useful places, I am here.
It’s just a little thing.”
"The war in the southwest has been victorious. Your brother has contributed a lot and killed the enemy bravely. He defeated ten armies in a row. Even the king of Runan is afraid of him. When the war is successful and our child is born, I will promote you as Concubine Wan.
, build a new temple for you to live in.”
I smiled and shook my head: "Tangli Palace is already very good. I don't care about a concubine position. I just want to live in peace with the emperor and my children."
"I will protect you and our children." He kissed my forehead, "Don't worry. I have assigned the right-wing troops of the Southwest Army to your brother to ensure that there is no danger. After all, he has not let me down.
I hope that I can achieve this under the wings of King Runan and Murong."
I nodded, "I have also heard about my brother's affairs. This is exactly what I am worried about. My brother... seems to be willing to take his own life as soon as he goes to the battlefield."
He thought for a while and said: "This is what I admire about him. It's just that he is the only one in your Zhen family. I want him to return to the court and get married as soon as possible." He whispered in my ear: "Don't be afraid of anything, just be good.
The earth will support you and you will give birth to a safe child."
I gently stroked my flat belly with my hand, and his hand was big and warm, covering my hand. I could hardly believe that a little life was born in my belly so unexpectedly and suddenly.
I slowly closed my eyes. After all, he is the father of the child in my belly. After all, he still cares about me. I leaned on his shoulder helplessly and comfortingly, and a peach blossom bloomed thickly on the table.
The breath of his kiss became stronger and stronger, and my ears felt warm. I pushed him and said, "The imperial doctor has told me to be extra careful in the first three months."
His face was a little red. I rarely saw him with such a simple expression. Instead, he felt comfortable and peaceful. He stood up and picked up the teapot on the table and took a deep drink. He calmed down and smiled at me: "It's me.
No, I forgot." He was suddenly stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of relief and sadness in his voice: "Huanhuan, I have never seen you smile like this in the past few days."
I raised my head, but finally lowered my head, and said slowly: "Concubine Hua is so beautiful, does your Majesty still remember what my concubine's smile looks like?" I could no longer hold back the grievances of these days, and a tear slowly fell from my eyes.
He was silent for a moment, wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes with his own hands, and said softly and firmly: "I will never make you sad again." I nodded. It was not up to him whether I would be sad or not, but that was all he had in mind.
I was embarrassed: "I can't serve the emperor these days, and the emperor can't always accompany me like this. It's better to stay with another queen."
He still hugged me and said, "I won't disturb you anymore, and I'll just stay with you quietly, okay?"
I also enjoyed the peace and tranquility at the moment. After getting tired of it for a while, I remembered Concubine Duan's hint before leaving, and finally smiled and said: "Du Liangyuan was also greatly frightened today. Your Majesty should go and see her."
He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow."
The night was getting deeper, and it had rained in the evening, so there was a milky white mist-like moonlight at night. There was only a little bean-like cooking fire burning in the back hall, intertwined with the clear moonlight leaking in from the jade-colored window screen.
Light colors of light and dark. Several pear blossoms in the courtyard are as bright and bright as the moonlight, reflecting all over the window screens.
Sure enough, the beauty of spring in March is so beautiful even in the middle of the night. Jin Xi quietly accompanied me under the lamp and said: "My Lady, I have opened the corner door according to your instructions, but will Princess Duan really come over?"
"
I said: "I don't know about this. It was just my guess." I smiled and looked at Jin Xi: "If she doesn't come, it would be a good idea for us to look at the moon."
Jinxi smiled: "Your Majesty, you are in a very good mood."
I smiled: "I have been promoted to the rank of noble concubine, and I am in charge of the affairs of the first palace. You are waiting by my side, and you will be promoted to the rank of Gentleman of the fifth rank. Aren't we all happy?"
Jin Xi said: "This slave is a blessing to the empress and the little prince."
I said: "It's only more than a month old, how do you know if she is an emperor or a prince?"
Jinxi stretched out her hand to light the candle with a pick, "Although the emperor doesn't say it, in his heart he really wants to have a prince, and now the eldest son of the emperor..." She stopped talking, looked at me and said: "Your Majesty, I rushed out to save you like this today.
Du Liangdi, this servant is very worried. It is too dangerous, and you and Du Liangdi are not on good terms." I knew the doubt in her words.
I slowly stroked the complicated embroidery on my clothes and thought for a long time: "If I said someone pushed me out, would you believe it? I guess the intention of the person who pushed me was to make me bump into Du Liangdi's belly.
Du Liangdi has a miscarriage, so I am the culprit." I sneered slightly, "It's a vicious plan that kills two birds with one stone!"
Jin Xi was not surprised when she heard this, she seemed to have expected it, "In harem fights, pregnant concubines are often the target of public criticism. Today it is Du Liangdi, and tomorrow it may be you, the empress."
I stroked the gleaming white jade bracelet on my wrist and said lightly to myself: "I'm afraid that many people won't be able to sleep tonight because of my pregnancy."
Jin Xi said respectfully: "Without my mother's pregnancy, they would not be able to sleep because of Du Liangdi's pregnancy."
As he was talking, he suddenly heard little Yunzi whispering from outside: "Your Majesty, you are here."
I glanced at Jin Xi, and she stood up and went to open the door. I heard the door creak slightly, and two women in dark green cloaks came in. The light ink veil on the curtains fluttered softly.
At first glance, I thought they were palace maids who were ordered to travel at night. One of them had an emerald beaded flower on her temples, decorated with two small finger-sized emerald beads, and gently swayed her veil. I then smiled and said, "Concubine Duan is indeed the queen."
Keep your promise.”
The man lifted his veil, revealing a sickly face, and said with a faint smile: "I am really useless. The road from Pixiang Palace to here is not far, but it has taken so long."
I hurriedly asked her to sit down and signaled Xiao Yunzi to watch outside. Seeing that I was not taking off my makeup and putting on pajamas, she nodded and said, "Your concubine is smart and understands what I mean."
I said, "I'm just guessing. The empress pointed at the moon and raised her hand to make one. So I guessed that the empress was coming to visit in the first lunar month, so I held a candle to wait for her." I waited for her to drink tea and rest for a while.
Fang Dao: "Your Majesty came to visit late at night. I wonder if it's for the day's business?"
She pursed her lips and said nothing, and I knew she cared about Jin Xi's presence, so she said, "The person in the room at this moment is either my concubine's confidant, or my empress's confidant, as the empress can tell you."
She pondered for a moment, then took out a thin snow-white silk thread with two pearls on it and placed it in front of me and said, "Please take a closer look, my concubine."
I didn't know what she wanted to say, so I took the silk thread in front of the candlelight and looked at it several times, wondering: "It seems to be the chain that Concubine Hua is wearing today?" As soon as the words came out, I suddenly understood in my heart that the silk thread of the pearl necklace was.
Most of them have eight or sixteen strands to ensure that they can withstand the weight of the beads. The bead chain worn by Concubine Hua today is particularly large and round. It requires at least sixteen strands of silk thread to be threaded to be stable. But the silk thread in front of me only has four strands. I
He was secretly surprised, so he asked: "Did the empress get it from the courtyard of the Queen's Palace?"
Concubine Duan smiled half-heartedly and said: "Yes, everyone is busy looking after Du Liangyuan and you, so I picked this thing up." She took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Concubine Hua is really close to each other.
"
I raised my eyebrows and said indifferently: "No wonder Concubine Hua's pearl chain was broken when it was hooked by a flower branch. She is indeed a thoughtful person."
The two remaining pearls on the silk thread gave off a cool and faint luster under the candlelight. I thought about the danger in the Queen's courtyard today. If Du Liangdi really slipped on these scattered pearls, the consequences would be really disastrous...I subconsciously touched myself
Now there is a little life breathing and growing in my belly. Wouldn’t I be frightened to save others by myself...
I couldn't help but be grateful to Concubine Duan and said sincerely: "Thank you very much for your advice."
Her eyes fell softly on my abdomen, her expression became gentle, and she sighed for a while: "I am here to remind you, and secondly... the child in your belly is innocent. The child is the essence of the mother's hard work, and I don't care if I look at it.
If you bear with me, you can be considered as accumulating blessings for this child."
I was moved in my heart. Although Concubine Duan was aloof from the world, she really loved her children. Even the Emperor Wen Yi, who was born to Cao Jieyu and his ilk, whom she hated, did not express any anger at all. I stood up calmly and respectfully
He bowed to her respectfully and said, "Concubine, thank you very much for your love for the child in your belly."
Concubine Duan's eyes turned slightly red, and she immediately covered them with a handkerchief and said calmly: "Now that I have said it, I am not afraid to tell you one more thing. I heard that this bead necklace was given to Concubine Hua by Cao Jieyu."
I thought silently for a moment, and felt that even maintaining a smile was a difficult task. The hooks of the armor were sharpened. I gently hooked the lace on the tablecloth and said, "Cao Qinmo is a more difficult person to deal with than Concubine Hua. So.
Ren Yun's sharp edge is invisible, and the concubine almost suffered a secret loss from her in several confrontations with her."
Concubine Duan chuckled: "If Concubine Hua is a tiger, Cao Qinmo is the claws of the tiger, but after all, she doesn't have much advantage in you, right?" Concubine Duan suddenly stopped her smile and said seriously: "As long as you know whose hand the blade is.
, both the tangible and the intangible can be carefully avoided, and you are afraid of being harmed but don't even know who your opponent is. That is the real terror."
Concubine Duan's face turned pale and flushed as she spoke forcefully, and she tried her best not to cough. Her breath became more and more severe, and the maid beside Concubine Duan immediately poured pills for her to take.
I asked: "What kind of disease does the empress have, and why does she never get better? I know an imperial doctor who has a very good pulse. Why don't I recommend him to treat the empress."
Concubine Duan calmed down a little, waved her hand and said: "I don't need to worry about it, my concubine. I injured my body in the early years. Now the medicine and stone are ineffective, so I can only rest more."
Seeing what she said, I couldn't persuade her any more. I sent Concubine Duan out through the corner door. Jin Xi and I stopped talking for a while and were silent, just because we understood how dangerous the environment we were in, with swords and swords everywhere.
Jinxi helped me change my clothes and go to bed. She knelt half in front of the bed and stepped on the bed and said, "My dear, don't think so much, it will only make you nervous. Since we know it's Concubine Hua and Cao Jieyu, let's just pay more attention. If the soldiers come, we can stop them."
I leaned on the soft pillow and said, "Concubine Duan was not in the courtyard at that time, so she only knew one thing. Can I not pay attention to it?"
Jin Xi was slightly surprised and said: "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."
"Concubine Hua broke her bead chain and almost slipped and fell Du Liangdi. She managed to avoid falling, but the pine nuts in Concubine Cui's hand suddenly jumped out. Isn't it strange? Of course, cats are inevitably a little irritable in spring, but pine nuts are trained.
You've passed it, how come you hurt people at will when it's in her hands?"
Jinxi's hand that was folding the clothes for me trembled slightly: "What the empress means is..."
I lowered my head and said, "Concubine Chou is the only concubine who has a son..."
Jin Xi said: "But usually, I see that Concubine Chou is very cautious and only wants to protect herself."
I sighed and said, "I hope I'm worrying too much. I just feel that the emperor's descendants are in ruins. If someone really has the intention to harm him, it will definitely not be done by one person." I thought for a while and said, "You
What do you think of Concubine Duan? In fact, she has been hiding from the world for a long time, and there is really no need to wade through this muddy water."
