Long Harem Road

Chapter 67

Baozhu heard the noisy voices around her, frowned, felt her head buzzing, moved her fingers vigorously, opened her heavy eyelids, and found herself lying on the big golden nanmu bed in the bedroom, her throat was a little dry, "Happy ?”

"Master, you've finally woken up. That's great. First, drink some Chuanbei fresh pear juice to moisten your throat." Joy hurried forward, helped Baozhu get up, leaned on the bed, took the soup bowl on the incense table, Feed it little by little.

"What's wrong with me? Where's the fourth prince?" Baozhu drank a bowl of pear juice, feeling her throat a little better.

"Returning to Master, you suddenly passed out. The servants have checked for you. You are pregnant. You have just turned one month, and your pulse is slightly weak. There is nothing wrong."

"What?" Baozhu was stunned, she planned to wait for Mao'er to be a few years older, and to be reborn in two years, how could it be?Could it be that time during the day?This body is too good, Baozhu's face is a little ugly, "Why did I faint?".

"Master, you are in a hurry, and you are pregnant, so you can't hold on for a while,..."

"Well, how long has I been in a coma, is it harmful to the child in my stomach? Can I go to the imperial doctor?" Baozhu caressed her still flat abdomen nervously.

"Returning to the master, you fainted for a cup of tea, and there is no harm to the little prince. Don't worry, the imperial doctor has already gone to invite him, and he will be here soon."

"Well, Joy, when the imperial physician comes later, can you pretend to be weak and suffer from heat stroke? I have a wolf and a tiger in front of me, so it's not the best time to reveal my pregnancy."

Baozhu thought for a while, no one in the palace would like to see her conceive again. As for the emperor, Baozhu thought of the emperor's words, and her eyes softened slightly. At least there is one person who is looking forward to the arrival of this child as much as herself.

"The only way now is for the servant to take the pulse of the imperial physician instead of the master, and the servant can pretend to be heatstroke through the acupuncture points." Joy also realized the seriousness of the matter, and secretly regretted calling the imperial physician in a hurry.

"This is the only way to do it right now, and it will be a day if it can be delayed." Baozhu took off the jade bracelet from Hao's wrist and put it on Joy's hand. people are hard to find.”

"Yes, master."

"Huanxi, take someone to the fourth prince's place, carefully check all the clothes and decorations, and bring the fourth prince here first, remember, do it secretly, don't startle the snake, and be discovered by someone with a heart."

"Yes, master."

"Happy, how many days are there until the next request for a safe pulse?" Right now, it can only be concealed for a while, the imperial physician in the palace is loyal to the emperor, and there is no way to conceal it.

"Return to master, there are still five days."

"Five days? The time is a bit tight, and the layout of only five days seems a bit rushed." Baozhu frowned slightly.

"Master, why don't you tell the emperor? This slave thinks that the emperor will definitely help us." Huanxi carefully glanced at the frowning master, and said cautiously. In fact, she never understood why the master didn't trust the emperor.

"The emperor?" Baozhu murmured to herself, the emperor's doting eyes kept appearing in her mind, she knew that the emperor had feelings for her now, but after that, she didn't want to fall.

She must remain rational, the emperor's favor cannot protect her all the time, unless one day the emperor will no longer draft and only she will be left as a woman, but is it possible?
The most important thing for women living in this palace is not to be emotional. Which woman in the palace is not smart, isn't the queen smart?
It's just that she lost her mind because she fell in love with the emperor. She didn't want to be like them one day, competing with the newcomers who appeared constantly. If you don't love, you don't hate.

"Okay, I'll make my own decision!" Five days is almost the end, Concubine Wei and Empress Dowager, you have made every effort to make this palace feel better, so you have to pay back, so that you can raise your baby with peace of mind.

Xiaoqing, Luliu, I blame you for following the wrong master, Baozhu gritted her teeth fiercely, feeling lingering fear of her previous carelessness, "Remember, before asking for a safe pulse next time, try to invite the emperor to Qingfeng Palace, understand Is it? Let's see the emperor's attitude at that time."

Baozhu sighed silently, Your Majesty, what will you do?Which side do you prefer, the birth mother and Ben Gong?

"Yes, master."

"Okay, get ready first, the imperial doctor should be here soon."

When the emperor arrived at Qingfeng Palace, the imperial doctor had already left, and Baozhu had already drank the birth-preserving medicine secretly replaced by Huanxi and fell asleep. Zhao Mao lay down on the soft leather mat with a bamboo mat laid out in the inner room, playing happily alone. Happy, the ladies of the court quietly stood aside.

In order to make it easier for Zhao Mao to play, Baozhu spread a bamboo mat on the floor of the inner room, and covered it with a layer of soft leather, which is cool and comfortable. Zhao Mao would play sports cars and building blocks on it every day.

Zhao Zhen was discussing government affairs with the ministers in the Imperial Study Room. During his break, he listened to Li Mingzhong's report that Concubine De suddenly passed out in Qingfeng Palace. His heart shrank suddenly, and he rushed over after finishing the government affairs in a hurry.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, and childishly put his finger on his mouth to 'shush' to prevent his overly excited son from waking up the woman on the bed. Quietly staring at her little pale face in a daze.

It wasn't until Zhao Mao in his arms writhed restlessly that he got up and carried his son out of the inner room, and said with a dark face, "Tell me, what's going on with your master?".

"Back to the emperor, the imperial doctor said that the master has been depressed recently, coupled with the sweltering heat, loss of appetite, and heatstroke." Huanxi and Huanxi knelt down and explained the remarks they had prepared in advance.

Zhao Zhen was suddenly upset and irritable. He turned his head and saw the eunuch Xiaoqing pretending to be sweeping the floor outside the hall.

Because he was confident that the Li family would not be able to jump out of his Wuzhi Mountain, Zhao Zhen had always turned a blind eye to the Queen Mother's help for the Li family, but now because of the Queen Mother's unreasonable troubles, his beloved woman fainted from anger.

The dissatisfaction that has been suppressed in Zhao Zhen's heart for a long time is like a flood that has opened the gate, gushing out, and urgently needs an outlet to vent, Xiaoqing who is at a loss and does not know it is such a tragedy.

"Come on, this little eunuch is disrespectful in front of the palace. Let me drag you down and beat me hard." Zhao Zhen suddenly made an attack, and Li Mingzhong only said that this little eunuch who appeared at an inappropriate time was out of luck.

He hurriedly responded, and before the little eunuch could react, he hurriedly gagged and dragged on, so as not to disturb the emperor, and of course, the concubine De and the fourth prince in the inner room.

Huanxi and Huanxi, who were kneeling on the ground, looked at each other and smiled quietly, a cold light flashed in their eyes, and arranged for Xiaoqing to appear at the time when the emperor asked, and the emperor would indeed be angry.

Xiaoqing was dragged down and pressed on the bluestone slab outside the hall, her gagged mouth let out a humming sound, fear and panic flashed in her eyes, Li Mingzhong winked, two strong eunuchs stepped forward , the heavy plank hit him with a puff, and he became red in a moment.

Xiaoqing twisted and writhed in pain, but after a while limply lay down, Liu Quan looked at the right time, ran to Li Mingzhong flatteringly, and offered a heavy purse, "Mr. Give it to the slave?"

Li Mingzhong knew his plan. He was a servant of Qingfeng Palace, so he couldn't kill him directly. Let them deal with it. The other party was the chief eunuch of Qingfeng Palace, so he responded politely. :

"Director Liu is being polite. We are all doing things for the emperor, so thank you for the hard work. The miscellaneous family will serve the emperor."

"Mr. Li, go slowly!"

When Li Mingzhong entered the inner hall, Liu Quan winked, and the person behind him lifted Xiaoqing, who was covered in blood, and entered a remote ear room in the hall, pouring a basin of cold water, Xiaoqing woke up leisurely.

Liu Quan pulled out the gag in his mouth, patted his face in disgust, removed his chin, and said with a sneer, "Zajia advises you, don't try to struggle.

This is an order personally issued by the emperor, even the queen mother, hmph, can't save you, if you tell the truth, you can still have a good time, if not...?snort! ", Liu Quan picked up the dagger in the room and gently scratched his cheek.

The cold and sharp blade of the dagger slid past, causing a stabbing pain, leaving a wound, the blood dripped down the cheek, fell to the ground, and soon merged with the blood under the body, Xiaoqing's eyes were terrified when he heard the words, and he knew that he couldn't Escaping to death, struggling to crawl forward, making a whining sound.

"Hey, I knew why I had to do it today. If I honestly explain what I have done in the past year, maybe I can give you a good time. Otherwise, the dagger in the hands of the miscellaneous family is not a vegetarian. You can cut it with a knife. You say What will happen?"

Liu Quan sneered, looked at the person in front of him and said word by word, Xiaoqing's face was ashen, her body was trembling, her eyes were full of fear, Liu Quan in her eyes was the evil ghost who was demanding his life.

Liu Quan moved forward to chin up for him, and said sternly, "Don't try to play tricks, explain carefully, little Fuzi, little stool, the two of you are in charge of recording, small table, small chair, you two keep an eye on him."

"Yes!"

Bao Zhu woke up after a good night's sleep, but saw Zhao Zhen hugging her son, the two were sitting on the bamboo mat and whispering, there was no one waiting in the inner room, she suddenly felt calm, "Your Majesty?"

Huanxi and Huanxi, who had been guarding the door all the time, heard the voice, and went into the inner room with tonics to serve. Carefully lifted Baozhu to lean against the soft cushion at the head of the bed, and put a bowl of milk tremella soup on the incense table beside the bed.

Zhao Zhen picked up his son and sat on the side of the bed, watching quietly. After Baozhu settled down, he grabbed her hand and said tenderly, "Bao'er is awake? How is it? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Zhao Mao was also not to be outdone, and threw her arms outstretched towards Baozhu, "Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine." Baozhu was worried that Zhao Mao would kick her in the stomach dishonestly, so she didn't stretch out her hand, Zhao Mao curled her lips aggrieved.

Zhao Zhen held his son tightly, and said in a low voice, "Why did Maoer agree to the father? Did you want the mother and concubine to rest well?" Zhao Hao pouted aggrievedly, but couldn't break free, and the appointed one sat on the father's seat In her arms, her big black grape-like eyes stared at the orb, eager to drip.

Baozhu felt her heart melt, she turned her head away from him cruelly, "Your Majesty, have you been here all this time?"

Zhao Zhen reached out and touched her face, and said in a little embarrassment, "I came here in a hurry after finishing the government affairs, Bao'er pay more attention to your body."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Baozhu looked at Zhao Zhen's unnaturally handsome face with a funny face, and secretly smiled at his dry concern. Unexpectedly, the wise and mighty Emperor would also have unnatural moments, "Your Majesty, my concubine is hungry gone."

Huanhuan glanced at the weird emperor and master, hesitating whether to go forward to serve the master to drink soup, the master couldn't stand the hunger now, suddenly felt his arms sinking, the little master was stuffed into his arms, and the emperor raised his eyes soup bowl, pick up the spoon and fiddle with it gently.

Poor Zhao Mao struggled to wriggle his fat body, trying to throw himself into the arms of his concubine mother. He has a lot of strength now, and Huanxi was afraid that he would fall, so he hugged him tightly, a little at a loss.

"Happy, take the fourth prince down, he's hungry too." When Baozhu saw the father and son fighting, she was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help laughing. Zhao Zhen's face was soothed, and the corners of his mouth curled up. Woohoo, the complaining fourth prince stepped back.

"Your Majesty, the concubine can come by himself." Baozhu couldn't help but said when she saw the emperor's blunt movements, fearing that he would accidentally spill it on the bed.

"Bao'er lie down, I'm here." Zhao Zhen smiled dotingly, carefully scooping out the white fungus soup in the bowl spoon by spoon, Baozhu opened his mouth obediently, feeling his throat was astringent, his eyes were moist, and his heart was pounding.

In all fairness, after three years in the palace, the emperor treated her really well. Although she didn't know which aspect of herself attracted the emperor, she always felt that it was unreal, and she dared not let go of her guard and devoted herself wholeheartedly.

"emperor."

"What's wrong with Bao'er?" Zhao Zhen took the brocade handkerchief, gently wiped the corner of her mouth, and said softly.

"It's okay, just, thank you!" Baozhu thought about it, her nose was sore, she almost shed tears, and she said something that didn't fit. Son, take good care of yourself."

"Hmm." Baozhu didn't notice the loneliness that flashed in the emperor's eyes, and sighed slightly, if you are not the emperor, but just my husband, how wonderful it would be.

"I'll see you again at night, Bao'er has a good rest!", kissed Baozhu's cheek lightly, turned and left, her footsteps were a little hasty and flustered.
