Chapter 608 Secretly assassinating Chen Cang
"What if you get a stomachache from eating in my palace and rely on me to poison you?" Jiang Yuebai asked half-seriously.

Xie Zhili shook his head: "Sister is a well-known heroic woman, upright, how could she harm me? Besides, she is a fool to harm others on her own territory. If I really have a stomachache one day, it must be because the food is too delicious. "Oh, I'm too full."

The two laughed heartily, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Jiang Yuebai secretly thought, this Xie Zhili is young and seems to be straightforward and simple, but in fact he is very transparent.

In the evening, the concubine and the prince came to have dinner. After hearing Jiang Yuebai talk about Concubine Tian, ​​she was worried.

"Aren't you afraid that she will take the opportunity to frame you?"

Jiang Yuebai was very calm, "It would be nice to have someone to accompany me to relieve my boredom."

Concubine He said with a bit of reproach, "You just don't suffer enough and think too well of others."

Jiang Yuebai pursed her lips and smiled, "Compared to my sister, I am definitely a bad person."

"You have to be careful when you are pregnant." Concubine He looked at Jiang Yuebai's belly worriedly, "Some people like to pretend to be innocent and harmless, but in fact they are just trying to deceive others' trust. Maybe they are vicious at heart. Very.”

Jiang Yuebai nodded, "Sister, what you said makes sense. If anything happens to me, sister will uphold justice for me."

"Nonsense. Bah, bah, bah. You can't help but talk about this. You will be fine."

Jiang Yuebai: "Maybe the Xie family wants to take this opportunity to win over me. After all, Susu has been kneeling for me for a month."

"You can't gamble with your child's life." He Fei continued to persuade her earnestly.

Jiang Yuebai suppressed her laughter and acted in a difficult way, "I'm so touched that I don't know what to do because I'm so concerned about you. It's just that Concubine Tian is here, so I can't turn her away."

Concubine He breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right. It's not good to offend the Xie family. It's really hard for you. Leave this matter to me."

Jiang Yuebai suddenly asked with concern, "My sister's cousin entered the palace today, do you feel bad?"

The concubine lowered her eyes, tears fell down, and she covered her mouth.

"Here at my place, you can cry if you want, it's okay."

He Fei lay on Jiang Yuebai and cried for a while before she felt much more comfortable.

Thinking of the deep sisterly love between Jiang Yuebai and Jiang Jinxiu, she asked with tears in her eyes, "She is my cousin. I have an extra relative in the palace. I should be happy. Am I being too stingy?"

Jiang Yuebai comforted him: "There is nothing that should or should not be done. Didn't you say that you have become more enlightened after a heavy life? Then do whatever you want, and don't care about others."

The concubine said loudly "Yes".

She couldn't explain why she could face Meng and Xie entering the palace with ease, but she couldn't face her cousin alone. Perhaps this makes her always think about getting old and unable to have children.

Later, He Fei selected an imperial physician to come to Ning'an Palace, creating the illusion that Jiang Yue's white fetus was unstable. When Li Beichen heard about it, he felt anxious and hurried over. It turned out that he just ate some cold food for lunch, so it was nothing serious.

Concubine He took the opportunity to report that Concubine Tian came to Guo Jiang Yuebai and had lunch here.

Both inside and outside the words, Jiang Yuebai Bodhisattva has a kind heart, is kind-hearted, lacks defensiveness, and treats everyone sincerely. This will inevitably lead to disadvantages and may be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives if you are not careful.

Jiang Yuebai kept smiling and saying good things for Concubine Tian, ​​saying that she was fine, saying that she believed Concubine Tian was just an innocent and cute little girl, and hoped that the emperor would never blame Concubine Tian.

She knew that the more she said this, the more the emperor would doubt Concubine Tian. Since Concubine Tian took the initiative to deliver it to her door, wouldn't it be a pity not to use it.

After hearing this, Li Beichen thought for a long time, and as expected, he did not agree with Jiang Yuebai's words. He decreed that no one except Concubine He could visit Concubine Jianing within three months.

When the concubine heard this decree, she breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s it. It's so heartbreaking.

However, Jiang Yuebai just pursed his lips and smiled, silently watching He Fei make arrangements for him, and also used tricks to get the emperor to issue an order to protect him.

After Concubine Tian heard someone in the palace next door tell her that Concubine Jianing was pregnant, she smiled and said, "Sister Jianing is so kind! It's a pity that I can't play chess with her every day. Alas~"

She expected that Concubine Jianing would take advantage of her visit today to close the door and refuse visitors to protect her pregnancy. She did it on purpose. She wanted to see if Concubine Jianing could keep her composure. If she could, she would not be in a hurry to use her.

Now it seems that Concubine Jianing's mind is just that shallow, and she doesn't have much foresight.

This is also what Li Beichen thinks.

It's just that you can see through it but don't tell it. Jiang Yuebai did this to protect the child in her belly. It was nothing but a small trick.

*
Today, when Li Changan entered the palace, Li Beichen naturally stayed in Chengfu Palace and was given the title "Yi", Yi Jieyu.

The next day, Yi Jieyu paid her respects for the first time and got stuck. Concubine Tian was late again and ran in in a panic, asking for an apology.

According to the newly appointed palace maid, Concubine Tian couldn't fall asleep while reading her storybook at night, couldn't wake up from bed in the morning, and couldn't wake up despite being screamed many times. There was nothing she could do.

He Fei had no choice but to gently remind Concubine Tian to go to bed early.

At the morning meeting, Yi Jieyu first bowed to Concubine He and took her seat as usual, and then Concubine He introduced the sisters to Yi Jieyu.

Because this is the third airborne executive meeting this month, everyone is already familiar with the routine, and it is not as novel as before.

Li Changan is quite beautiful, but not as beautiful as Meng Zhao. Unlike Meng Zhao's dignified appearance, Li Changan's facial features are three-dimensional, bright and aggressive.

When everyone saw her, they seemed to see the shadow of the original Concubine Jing.

Because Li Changan is He Fei's cousin, everyone is very aware of current affairs and flatters her in a genial manner.

After the ceremony, Concubine He announced the emperor's decree to prohibit private visits to Concubine Jianing because of her unstable fetal condition.

Because the ban covers everyone, Jiang Changzai cannot see Jiang Yuebai.

Except for the concubine and the young prince.

They still go to Ning'an Palace to play every evening when the weather is not so sunny, and stay for dinner in the evening.

They usually do not have dinner in the house, but in a specially made lake center pavilion hung with gauze and insect repellent sachets.

Jiang Yuebai gave the pond a very subtle name "Bichi".

The bridge connecting the pavilion and the shore was named Hongqiao.

The new name of the pavilion was also given by Jiang Yuebai. It is called Yuting, which has no sense of violation.

Every time I sit in the pavilion to eat and admire the moon, I always want to laugh. That's the comic relief she was going for.

She would always think of a beautiful and talented female classmate named Hu Xinting in college in her previous life. I don’t know if the classmates in my previous life are doing well.

Since Yi Jieyu entered the palace on May 20th, ten more days have passed without knowing it. The moon changed from half a piece of cake to a thin strand. Tomorrow will enter June, the hottest time of the year.

Today is also the day when the results of the imperial examination are released, and some families are happy and some are sad.

However, this year's batch has caught up with the good times, and there are many vacancies in the court. Some officials are old and need to retire to their jobs. The destinations for these new imperial examination candidates were at least one or two levels higher than in previous years, and they were all in good places.

Jiang Yuebai was wearing a plain dress, half lying in a wheelchair, with a Hetian jade lily pendant inserted diagonally into her lily bun. She casually shook the fan painted with orchid grass, and the lily pendant followed slightly. Trembling, becoming more and more agile.

The table was covered with indigo brocade, and eight exquisite small plates were placed on it. There is an exquisite ice bucket under the table, which contains a few ice cubes.

Very relaxing.

After the young prince devoured the food, he ran away to catch fireflies.

Only He Fei and Jiang Yuebai were left.

Jiang Yuebai has been vomiting more and more these days, can hardly eat, and is getting thinner and thinner.

I can’t even eat the nuts I used to love. Every time I vomited out the food I just ate, I had to wait a while before eating again. I don’t know how much food was left in my belly.

Concubine He patted Jiang Yuebai on the back, "You suffered so much during this pregnancy. This child doesn't know how to feel sorry for your mother."

Jiang Yuebai wiped her mouth, looking helpless and dying, "Fortunately, I have a sister who comes to accompany me every day."

The concubine felt distressed: "I will go to the Qinzheng Hall to report to the emperor soon. If you don't tell me, how will the emperor know about your hard work?"

Jiang Yuebai shook his head, "The emperor is busy with state affairs, and he is not an imperial doctor, so he can't help here. Don't bother the emperor with such trivial matters. If you don't give accurate advice, you will punish the envoy Jiang Yuan."

Jiang Yu really tried his best.

He tried his best and prescribed several prescriptions, but none of them worked. I was so anxious that a lot of my hair fell out.

The emperor has not been to Ning'an Palace for another ten days.

In the past ten days, there were many things going on in the previous court, and Li Beichen entered the harem five times. First, I checked the Yi Jieyu brand three times in a row, and stayed once in Shunbi and Tianfei palaces.

When I stayed at Tian Fei, I focused on company and storytelling. On the second day of this time, Concubine Shun moved forward and was promoted to Concubine Xi among the nine concubines.

Fan Changzai, Gu Xuanshi, and Lin Xuanshi still haven't found it. He mentioned it once to the concubine, and Li Beichen agreed, but still didn't turn over.

Xiao Changzai still accompanied him every day to serve the pen and ink. When he was not serving the pen and ink, he went to worship Buddha. Faced with the emperor's ridicule that he was not interested in her body, Xiao Changzai didn't even roll his eyes at him, just treating him as nothing.

The emperor usually went to Qixia Palace to eat with Concubine Tian for lunch. It was only a short walk away anyway.

Concubine Tian was still late for morning meetings every day. Even the punishment of copying scriptures is of no use.

The concubine had no choice but to tell the emperor. The emperor simply confiscated Concubine Tian's notebook. Unexpectedly, Concubine Tian ordered the palace servants to take turns telling stories every night. That night when Li Beichen stayed over, he was pestered and told two stories before he gave up.

In desperation, Jiang Yu gave Concubine Tian a prescription for sleeping. It works. Tian Fei went to bed early every night, but got up later. Still late every day.

In the end, He Fei had no choice. They can only be punished by copying scriptures every day. As long as the scriptures are handed over and she can live with her face, let her go.

During this period, Li Beichen went to Yanxi Palace to see Zhen Jieyu once. Although the stay was not long. After all, it was a visit.

Rumors began to spread in the palace that Concubine Jianing had fallen out of favor because of her disability, and there were all kinds of ridicule and gloating.

The concubine couldn't help but persuaded: "The emperor hasn't come to see my sister for a few days. If my sister sends someone to invite me, I will naturally get it. There are only so many things between men and women, and there are so many beauties in the harem. My sister, don't be too willful."

Jiang Yuebai gave Concubine a reassuring smile and looked out of the gauze, "I know my sister cares about me. But if the Emperor wants to see you, the wind and rain will come with knives. If you don't want to see me, why should I ask for trouble?"

Concubine He was a little helpless at Jiang Yuebai's calmness, "You are always too clear-headed and lose a lot of fun."

Jiang Yuebai pursed her lips and smiled, "I am already very content. With my background, it is a great blessing to be able to reach the position of concubine. If it were not for the Ye family, I would not have known that the ninth concubine would have to be promoted one level at a time. "

The concubine also laughed: "It stands to reason that it should be so. At that time, the late emperor also had concubines who were directly promoted from ninth concubine to noble concubine. It all depends on the emperor's wishes."

"Then who is Concubine Xia? I thought before that I was only downgraded one level from concubine to Liangyuan."

Concubine He: "Xia Concubine's original position was the fifth concubine Hui. Because before I got the title, I was Hui Concubine among the four concubines. To avoid taboos, I called her Xia Concubine."

Jiang Yuebai said with a smile, "If my sister is pregnant, she will be a noble concubine, right?"

"I don't value these, it's just a false name. I really want to have a child." He Fei sighed.

Jiang Yuebai smiled and comforted: "It will happen."

After all, I have given you De Nu San. Although it is not 100% effective, there is a high probability of a surprise.

Jiang Yuebai planned that even if the medicine produced by the system was really effective, he would not tell He Fei the truth, so as not to cause extra trouble and maybe even resentment.

The concubine glanced at Jiang Yuebai's belly and said dimly, "I hope so."

Regarding the matter between the emperor and her, Jiang Yuebai did not tell the truth to Concubine He.

Although she and the emperor did not meet every day, they exchanged letters every day, ranging from one to two or three letters back and forth.

For example, the letter the emperor sent her today was written in Li Bai's song "Sending a Lover on behalf of a Lover":
"The clear water is motionless, but the peach blossoms bloom beside the shore. The peach blossoms make the water color, and the waves shake the spring light. I love my son's beauty, and he loves my articles.

The wind blows the green harp away, and the music is played by the purple mandarin duck. It used to be a fish in water, but now it is a bird with two branches. The rooster crows in mourning, reaching five dawns every night.

Break down the acacia tree and give it back to Zhicunxin. The water cannot be collected, and the traveling clouds cannot be found again. There are birds at the end of the world, but there is no such thing as Yao Huayin. "

In fact, Li Beichen visited her twice in the past ten days, both late at night on rainy days.

Just like last time, after the two exchanged their heart-to-hearts, Li Beichen felt extremely passionate, roaring and humming amidst the lightning and thunder, which was very enjoyable.

These are the secrets agreed between her and the emperor.

Naturally, I wouldn't tell Concubine He.

The meteorological bulletin issued by the Qintian Supervisor said that there will be thunderstorms again tonight. All palaces are advised to remember to put away their clothes, close their windows, and avoid trees when walking to prevent being struck by lightning.

The air is humid and muggy, and dragonflies fly low, which is a sign before a thunderstorm comes.

Jiang Yuebai joked: "The Emperor has stayed at your place several times this month. Maybe there will be good news."

The concubine sighed and looked at the boundless night through the curtain, "I am not as lucky as my sister. The imperial doctor said that it is difficult for me to get pregnant because of my cold body, and I was injured last time. I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"That's not necessarily true. After my sister got sick, she took a lot of medicine to replenish Yang."
