Chang Anqing

Chapter 127 Unintentional discovery
Thinking that Yang Yan is the eldest son of Yang Chongyuan, and also the younger brother of his first wife, Empress Yang, so tonight even the emperor and empress in the palace came to the Taiwei Mansion to watch the ceremony, and Emperor Yuan Cheng heartily received the toasts from the courtiers at the banquet Until the key of the palace gate was about to be released, Yang Chongyuan, his wife and other courtiers and noble ladies surrounded Yuan Chengdi and his wife, personally sent the holy car to the main gate of Taiwei's mansion, and watched the emperor and empress Luanjia drive towards the Daming Palace.

The carriage moved forward leisurely. At the moment, only Empress Yang and Emperor Yuan Cheng were left in the carriage. It was rare for Emperor Yuan Cheng, who was dressed in normal clothes, to drink so happily tonight. Although Empress Yang wanted to stop her, Emperor Yuan Cheng was still a little drunk.

In the silence, Empress Yang's gentle eyebrows fell in front of her eyes, and she saw Emperor Yuancheng's handsome face was slightly flushed, and he rested his head against the wall of the car behind him with a faint tiredness. Fushui County (now east of Jingshan County, Hubei Province), the strong and mellow wine scent lingers between the two, making people more and more intoxicated.

Empress Yang knew that Emperor Yuan Cheng beside her was asleep, but even so her eyes were still half-closed. Thinking of this, Empress Yang felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.

"Niang Yu-"

Emperor Yuan Cheng's slight murmur broke the tranquility in the car, and also touched Empress Yang's thoughts. Empress Yang was about to respond, but saw the person in front of her eyes still slightly closed, as if talking in her sleep. Empress Yang smiled and looked at Emperor Yuan Cheng He held her hand tightly after getting in the car, and could not help leaning his head lightly on Yuan Chengdi's shoulder, wishing that this journey would be longer and slower.

"Yu Niang, I'm sorry—"

Leaning on Emperor Yuan Cheng's shoulder, hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng's gradually fading babble, Empress Yang's eyes were lost, and she saw Emperor Yuan Cheng's beautiful eyebrows fixed at some point in her side eyes, and her expression swept away her usual gentleness. Full of pain and melancholy.

"Shiro, the luckiest thing in my life is that I met you, and the most sorry thing is you—"

Empress Yang whispered softly, she reached out and gently touched Emperor Yuan Cheng's slightly hot face with her right hand, carefully smoothing the indescribable sorrow for him with her slender fingers.

Since she married him, how has he ever betrayed him——

It should be her, the Yang family, and the current situation that even she cannot change——

From the moment she came out of the cabinet, she stood on the balance. On the one hand was her relatives and relatives who raised her and accompanied her for decades, and on the other hand was her husband who loved and knew her and shared the bed with her for several years.

Over the years, watching her father and relatives persecute him again and again, she finally understood how entangled in the heart of Aman's mother, Princess Qinghe.

From start to finish, it was a dead end.

There was no way for her to break with her parents who cared for her for him, and to turn against her relatives who had the same blood as her.

She also couldn't watch him suffer the slightest harm in this game with the Yang family.

After all, she is a mortal, a selfish mortal.

Wrong, how could it be him——

Thinking of this, Empress Yang suddenly felt pain in her chest, which made her feel stuffy and even suffocated.

When she tightly closed her eyes and lay sideways in Yuan Chengdi's arms, no matter how much she restrained herself, she couldn't help but shed a tear.

Warm, but sour.

After returning to the inner palace, Emperor Yuan Cheng sent Empress Yang back to the Lizheng Hall first, talked with her, watched her fall asleep peacefully, and then got up and left for Zichen Hall.

When Emperor Yuan Cheng came to the Zichen Palace, there were still two stacks of documents requiring "painting day" and "painting" on the imperial case. Emperor Yuan Cheng reluctantly washed himself under the service of his personal servant Chengde, and then sat behind the imperial case Criticize one by one. (After the documents of the Tang Dynasty were sent to the emperor after being reviewed by the sect, the date of approval by the emperor Zhu was required. After the layers of procedures were signed by the subordinates, the word "ke" was sent to the emperor Zhu again.)
About less than half a cup of tea, when Emperor Yuan Cheng was feeling tired, he heard the sound of wearing a ring outside, and when he looked up, he saw a servant serving in front of the imperial court coming forward, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu Empress is here."

Emperor Yuan Cheng lifted his eyes lightly when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Concubine Shu, please come in."

Waiting for the servant to take the order, after a while, Shangguan, who bowed his waist and carefully invited the elegant dress and refined makeup, walked in.

"His Majesty."

Hearing Concubine Shu's salute, Emperor Yuan Cheng raised his head with warm and warm eyes, he blurted out his words before he stopped writing.

"Get up."

Concubine Shu heard the gentle lips, and when she got up, she was already herself. The maid took the red lacquer food box from her hand and said thoughtfully: "Since your majesty is going to have a banquet tonight, you must drink, so I made some soup and snacks. I brought sober tea again."

The tenderness in Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes became even more tender when he heard these words, and as he waved his hands, the beautiful shadow in front of him had already stepped forward, and the food boxes were uncovered layer by layer, and they were all foods that he liked but never knew about.

Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes darkened strangely, but he swept them away in a moment, and he gently pulled Concubine Shu to sit beside him and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Concubine Shu smiled when she heard the words, and said while adding soup for Emperor Yuan Cheng: "Every time your Majesty drinks alcohol, you can't eat, so it will inevitably damage the holy body. The concubine can't do it, so I have to make some soup. I hope your majesty will take care of the holy body." body."

After all, Concubine Shu handed the soup bowl to Emperor Yuan Cheng, Emperor Yuan Cheng took it with tender eyes, took a sip and praised sincerely: "I always like your soup."

Seeing Concubine Shu serving Emperor Yuancheng eating one by one, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, Chengde winked quietly and led everyone back out.

When the supper was almost used up, Emperor Yuan Cheng was about to say something to Concubine Shu, so he saw Cheng De suddenly walked in and said, "Saint, the imperial physician order is here."

Hearing the words "Emperor Physician Order", Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes moved slightly. Because Empress Yang was about to give birth, the imperial physicians who served him took turns guarding the inner palace, waiting to be summoned at any time. Seeing the imperial physician order walking in cautiously, Emperor Yuan Cheng murmured Said aloud: "I will go to your palace later——"

Concubine Shu nodded shyly when she heard the words, packed up the red lacquer food box under Chengde's service and retreated. After staying for a while, seeing that Chengde who had sent Concubine Shu away had returned and returned to his command, Emperor Yuan Cheng just watched The face of the person under Xiang Yu's case gradually calmed down.

"What's the matter?"

The imperial doctor ordered Sun Zhong to bow his head respectfully and cautiously when he heard the words, and cupped his hands to report back: "Your Majesty, I asked for His Highness's pulse today, and found that the fetus in His Highness's body is already weak. If there is no accident, after one month, when you give birth, the fetal heart rate will be high." will stop."

Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes were gloomy when he heard the words, and he seemed to be absent-minded for a moment, as if the alcohol that had been suppressed with great difficulty suddenly rushed to his head, and he felt a dull pain in his head, which was gradually about to burst.

"saint--"

Seeing this, Chengde who was near came forward nervously. As soon as he supported Emperor Yuan Cheng's hand, he was blocked by Emperor Yuan Cheng's raising his hand. He could only watch as Emperor Yuan Cheng pressed his hand deeply on his forehead in pain. After an unknown amount of time, Then he put it down slowly, but his right hand was clenched bit by bit, and he said in a calm and low tone: "If those medicines are stopped, what will happen—"

Sun Zhong was stunned when he heard the words, and was about to speak, but he never thought that Emperor Yuan Cheng would gradually lower his eyes and stop looking at him, as if he lost his mind, he waved his hands and changed his words the next moment: "I know."

Just as Sun Zhong was about to step back, Emperor Yuan Cheng leaned back tiredly and leaned his head against the back and said, "I often feel headaches recently, please take a look for me."

Sun Zhong's eyes moved slightly when he heard the words, and said respectfully: "Yes."

Under the silent light, Chengde watched worriedly as Sun Zhong stepped forward to take the pulse of Emperor Yuancheng, but he didn't know that there was Shangguan, Concubine Shu, who came back at some time outside the gate.

Originally, she wanted to go back and report to Emperor Yuan Cheng, but when she heard Sun Zhong's words, she couldn't move anymore, she neither advanced nor retreated, she just listened clearly to the words of the monarch and his ministers .

Under the shadow, Concubine Shu's face, which was originally fair and jade-like, became more and more ugly at this moment, almost without her noticing that her hands had become cold at some point.

Sensing the silence in the hall, Concubine Shu didn't dare to stay any longer, so she could only back away quietly, for fear of making a sound.

When she exited the inner room, Concubine Shu didn't know how she pretended to be calm and walked out. Just as she stepped over the palace threshold, she involuntarily quickened her pace and walked towards the corridor outside the Zichen Palace, but she never thought about turning around from outside the corridor. People bumped into each other.

"Concubine Shu——"

Concubine Shu was excited by this, she looked up abruptly, and when she suddenly met Shang Jiamo's inquiring eyes, she felt her heart was tightly held by someone, she immediately forced herself to calm down, and smiled unhurriedly Said: "It's getting dark, I haven't seen the Gashang Palace—"

After finishing speaking, Concubine Shu calmly glanced at the maid behind Jiamo who was carrying the food box and said with a smile, "Is this the sobering tea for His Highness?"

Jiamo nodded and smiled when he heard the words: "Your Majesty is going with our Highness."

Seeing Jiamo looking at the food box carried by the maid behind her, Concubine Shu said politely: "Your Majesty will be more happy to receive your Highness's wishes."

After all, Concubine Shu took the initiative to turn sideways to signal Jiamo to go first. Jiamo was not surprised by Concubine Shu's polite behavior as always. At this moment, he only saluted her respectfully and then walked away slowly.

When Jiamo passed by, Concubine Shu turned around silently, looking at the people who were walking away, her eyes gradually became deep and calm.

It turned out that from beginning to end, it wasn't just her and her who were fighting.

It turned out that Empress Yang hadn't won much against her either.

Thinking of this, Concubine Shu smiled, but her breath was cold.

I don't know if I am mocking others or myself.

After all, the emperor is so cold, isn't he?
