The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 87

As soon as Chu Xue's words came out, the faces of the people in the hall were all surprised.

"Master, why do you say that?"

Yanling couldn't help but asked first.

Seeing how many people in the palace were puzzled, Chu Xue sighed and explained: "Outsiders know that the emperor has been ignoring me for three months, and I haven't met me during that time, so where does this child come from?"

Yan Ling was silent.

Except for a few of them, no one knew about the emperor's plan. Only the guards and personal eunuch Liangxi who were with the emperor in Yufu Palace knew what happened the night before the farewell. These people are now with the emperor. After going to the northern border, once news of the master's pregnancy this time comes out, that person in Fengyi Palace will definitely not let it go. If she wants to slander the master, will outsiders believe the excuses of the master's own people?
The people figured this out, and they heard Chu Xue say again: "The emperor's plan is the first, if someone takes the opportunity to find fault at this time, can I justify myself?"

That's right, if Chu Xue defends, she will have to tell the story of the night before the farewell. If she tells her, will it ruin Song Chen's affairs?

One after another, what happened because of this child was really a headache and difficult.

But now that the child is here, no matter how difficult the headache is, he has to face it. Ruyue thought for a while, and comforted him: "The current plan, the master can only temporarily avoid the eyes and ears of idlers. If you don't show your figure for the first three months, even if you don't see it later Your figure is showing, master, you are slender. If you cover it with a loose robe, people who are not close to you will not notice it. Besides, there are many good news in Beijiang. I believe it will not be long before the emperor will come back. At that time, the emperor will be the master. , the unruly people will always be more peaceful."

What Ruyue said was right, Chu Xue sighed softly, "I'm afraid there is no better way than this right now, and this is the only way to do it."

The girls nodded, and Qiu Yan, who had been silent at the side, suddenly said, "Your Majesty, these worries are all due to concern about the emperor's plans. This servant feels that besides avoiding people's eyes and ears, you can let the emperor know about it. In this way, one It will let the emperor know what is going on, so that he doesn’t have to be too surprised when he comes back to find out about this matter, and it won’t let people with ulterior motives take advantage of it; secondly, let’s see how the emperor arranges the empress and the dragon descendants in his belly.”

Several people felt that what Qiu Yan said was very reasonable, and they all nodded in agreement, but Chu Xue worried: "It is of course best to let the emperor know about this, but the northern border is far away, and the emperor is marching and fighting again. How do you pass the news on and avoid others?"

This time Qiu Yan gave her a reassurance, and he said: "Don't worry, ma'am, you just write letters, the slaves have their own way to pass them on." Seeing Chu Xue's surprise, he explained: "The palace also exchanges letters with the front line. Every six days, the Yinshoujian will send a letter to the front line, and the empress's letter can be handed out together."

What Qiu Yan said was so clear, Chu Xue immediately felt relieved, and quickly wrote a handwritten letter in front of several people, and handed it to Qiu Yan to take away. Go to Song Chen's hands.

Northern Xinjiang.

After a fierce battle, the soldiers who returned from victory returned to the camp one after another.

Song Chen explained the important matters to several lieutenants, and after the account was cleared, he sat in front of the case and reviewed the political letter sent by the capital.

After concentrating on approving one copy, the king was taken aback when he picked up the next one to see clearly. The elegant handwriting on the cover was definitely not from the hand of the minister, but he was very familiar with it. He quickly opened it to read, Warmth immediately flowed into my heart.

Sure enough, she wrote it.

Xueer said in the letter that since he left, their mother and daughter have been thinking about it, and Leer's mouth has become more and more tactful, and she often asks her where the father has gone... Read every word in his heart, he seems to have returned to the In that warm place, in that Yufu Palace, there is a gentle and charming girl, and there is a lively and lovely Le'er...

The further he read, the deeper the corners of the king's lips curled up. When he read the most important sentence, he was startled, and then his smile deepened.

Liangxi, who was the most adept at observing words and expressions, saw him, and quickly started all kinds of guesses secretly. Before he could find out what to do, he heard the king himself say with a gentle smile: "There is joy in Yufu Palace."

Liangxi was taken aback for a moment, Yufu Palace is happy?
What else could Yufu Palace have to offer?Reminiscent of the king's late-night visit to the beauty the night before departure, the eunuch who served him immediately realized that the so-called happy event in the king's mouth must be that Concubine Yi Gui is pregnant with the dragon descendant again!

Liang Xi hurriedly led a group of attendants to kneel down and congratulate: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Thinking of the new kid, Song Chen smiled, and said in a harmonious voice: "Let's get down, there will be rewards in a while!"

There was another sound of thanksgiving in the tent, and when it calmed down a bit, the king ordered someone to hear the general of the Yan army, Xiang Wei, and ordered: "Since the vitality of Beihu has been greatly injured, let's make persistent efforts and strive to end this battle within two months. , Pass down the order, whoever brings the head of E Ke, the leader of the Hu people, I will reward 1000 taels of gold!"

Xiang Wei was startled, and quickly knelt down to perform a military salute, saying: "I obey the decree." Then he went out of the account and conveyed the imperial decree to all levels.

After getting the order, all the soldiers in the army immediately talked and geared up, 1000 taels of gold, how much wealth is that!For an ordinary peasant soldier, this amount is enough for him to buy a large property and mansion after returning to the field, marry a wife and have children, and his descendants will be rich for several lifetimes!
Seeing that the confidence of the soldiers has doubled, General Xiang Wei is relieved and still has some doubts. Why did the king suddenly feel so good? Such a big hand is thanks to the emperor. If it is an ordinary person, no one will be hurt!
Finding a suitable time, Xiang Wei quietly inquired with Liang Xi, and finally understood the reason. It turned out that the reason why the king offered a generous reward was because the beauty in the palace made him return to his heart.

Song Chen's heart is indeed like an arrow, he misses his Xue'er like never before, thinking of their Le'er and the budding little life in Xue'er's womb, he yearns for that warm place even more, that's why he resorted to The method of spending a lot of money to motivate soldiers to fight.However, this is not considered aggressive, because judging from the current battle situation, it is estimated that it will take less than two months to invade the capital of Beihu.Annexing this barbarian tribe is only a matter of dozens of days.

But the joy passed, and he also understood Xueer's intentions in writing this letter. Now, no one in the palace knows the truth that he "snubbed" her. Outside, it will take a while to return, and this is not the time for the truth to be revealed.In order to ensure the smooth running of their mother and child, it would be more appropriate for him to entrust them to one person.

Song Chen picked up a pen and wrote two letters.

Ten days later, the two letters returned to the capital together with the government letter, one of which was sent to the Queen Mother of Funing Palace, and the other was still quietly handed to Chu Xue just like when it came.

The letter traveled thousands of miles at a fast pace, and it was late at night when it was delivered, and the tent was quiet. Chu Xue unfolded the letter carefully, and the vigorous handwriting came into view, and Chu Xue seemed to see the tall and straight figure of the man again.After reading every word in the letter, the longing was immediately relieved a lot, and a smile appeared on the thin face that was tortured by the pregnancy reaction.

He said that he would tell the Empress Dowager the truth, that the Empress Dowager would definitely protect their mother and child, and he wanted her to raise her baby with peace of mind, and he would return as soon as possible after he won the victory, then he would no longer have to worry about it, and would come back to see her every day as before...

After closing the letter paper, she felt relieved. With Song Chen's words, the queen mother will definitely protect her after she knows the truth. Although the queen mother arranged for someone to enter the palace to share her favor, the child in her womb is the best at this time. As the imperial grandmother, the queen mother will always protect their mother and child.

However, after lying back on the couch, looking at the curtain in front of her, she frowned slightly. The thought that suddenly appeared a few days ago made her a little disturbed. She struggled for a long time, and became more and more silent. In the cold night, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Sure enough, on the second day after receiving Song Chen's handwritten letter, Funing Palace's care came along with Le'er who asked An to return.

The queen mother was a little skeptical before, she didn't believe that her son would anger Chu Xue because of the increasingly arrogant Xu family, and even "love" the concubine Li who came from a foreign country.As a mother, her son knew very well that Song Chen would never do such frivolous things.

It's a pity that the authorities were confused, but Xu didn't realize it. He still thought that relying on the merits of Pei Guogong in the past, he could be so arrogant that he ignored the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers.

The Queen Mother secretly sighed in her heart, hoping that after her son took Beihu and gradually weakened Xu's military power, the other party would restrain himself, otherwise Xu Jinhe's queen position would not be affected if it continued.

Knowing the truth at this time, knowing that Chu Xue was pregnant with a child again, the Queen Mother naturally wanted to protect her and take care of her, so she immediately sent Ning Yuan to go over quietly to comfort Chu Xue in the name of escorting Le'er, and ordered the internal affairs supervisor together On the side of the food supervisor, I'm afraid they will neglect Yufu Palace because of Chu Xue being "in the cold".

In fact, the Empress Dowager was too worried about this point, Chu Xue's diet had always been supervised by Ruyue herself, and the current head of the Internal Supervisor, Wang Jin, was promoted by Chu Xue, so it can be said that he belonged to Chu Xue.He knew that it was too late to repay his kindness, so how could he be negligent?

Because the Empress Dowager sent Ning Yuan to express her condolences, Chu Xue, as a junior, now needs to cling to the Empress Dowager for a period of time, so the next day, she politely came to the door in person and went to Funing Palace to thank her.

Ever since she was pregnant, her body reacted violently. In order to avoid showing strangeness in front of others, she used the excuse of physical discomfort to hide in her own palace to avoid being clean. The two palaces of Funing Fengyi have not been invited for a long time, because she is a noble concubine. He was also unwell, and the two palaces did not pursue it.

The Empress Dowager hadn't seen her for a few days, and she was surprised when she saw that her body and face were obviously thinner, and she hurriedly asked with concern: "What's the matter, why did you become so thin all of a sudden? Can you call the imperial doctor?" Have you seen it?"

There were no other people in the hall, so Chu Xue replied truthfully: "Back to the queen mother, this child is more troublesome than Le'er, and the reaction is more serious than the last time she was pregnant. The concubine has already passed the imperial doctor to see it, and she also drank it." Empress Dowager, please rest assured."

In the eyes of her elders, she has always been a pleasing person, and now she is pregnant again. The Queen Mother patted her hand, showing love in her words, and said: "If so, I will work hard for you. When the emperor comes back, the Ai family will let the emperor take care of you." Reward you."

She smiled and lowered her eyes, bowed her head and said yes.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chu Xue retreated out of fear of encountering idlers, and the Queen Mother agreed and told her to rest well.

Although I deliberately picked a time when there were few people, I didn't expect to meet someone I didn't want to see on the way back to Yufu Palace.Xu Jinhe's loyal servant Qiu Gui walked along the road and met her sedan chair.

"My maidservant greets the imperial concubine and empress."

Qiugui saw clearly that it was her sedan chair, and deliberately stood aside early to salute her, so she had to stop for a while.

This was actually prepared by Qiu Gui specially. After not seeing her for a long time, and seeing her claiming to be sick and asking for leave, Xu Jinhe really wanted to know whether her illness was true or not.

"Be flat."

Chu Xue didn't want to waste time with her, so she simply said a few words and signaled the sedan chair to move on.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew up the brocade curtain by her window, and a corner of the brocade curtain was slightly lifted, revealing her thin face.

Qiu Gui saw it clearly, and she knew it, and when the sedan chair was far away, she hurried back to Fengyi Palace.
