Long Harem Road

Chapter 72

Zhao Zhen pursed his lips with a black face, knowing that he must have found out something wrong. He put down the "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" in his hand, and tapped the table with his slender fingers. Heart, anxiety and excitement gradually calmed down.

"Let's talk!", Zhao Zhen's voice was flat, but for no reason it made people feel cold and murderous. Li Mingzhong couldn't help shrinking his head. This is the rhythm of the emperor wanting to kill.

Doctor Wang put all his eggs in one basket. At this time, he understood that he had been tied by the emperor to the ship of the Empress Concubine De, and that he would be both prosperous and damaged. He always knew that the water in the harem was deep, but he still underestimated the viciousness of the women in the harem. After opening a scroll of Buddhist scriptures, he lowered his head and reported the truth.

"Returning to the emperor, tulip flower juice was added to the ink used to copy this "Heart Sutra", because the taste is very light, and it is easily covered by the faint smell of books. If you touch it for more than one hour a day, you will feel dizzy and lethargic. The body is getting weaker and weaker."

Zhao Zhen's lips were tightly pursed, his fists were clenched tightly, the veins on the back of his broad hands were bulging, and his chest was filled with anger. Bao'er had to copy Buddhist scriptures every day, which would take at least two hours. He said in a low voice, "Continue!"

Doctor Wang then opened the hollow carved sandalwood incense box in front of him, and continued, "The bottom plate of this sandalwood incense box is made of poisonous arrow wood. If the Buddhist incense is stored in this box for a long time, it will be contaminated with the poison of poisonous arrowwood.

Once ignited, the toxin will volatilize into the air. If it is in contact with the human body for more than three months and breathed into the lungs, it will cause organ failure in the body. less than five years. "

Imperial Physician Wang finished speaking in one breath, leaned down, feeling uneasy, this harem is a quagmire, once it gets mixed up, I'm afraid I won't be able to be kind anymore, I hope the emperor can see it for the sake of my dedication, and don't make too much embarrassment Own.

The more Zhao Zhen listened, the more angry he became, trembling all over, his face livid and holding his breath, his eyes were red, an uncontrollable anger burned in his body, his teeth rattled, if it wasn't for my sudden whim, then his Bao'er and her The child in the belly...?
Zhao Zhen only felt that his heart seemed to be grasped by one hand, squeezed hard, and he couldn't breathe in pain. His heart was as heavy as Mount Tai. He waved his hand weakly, closed his eyes, and after a long time, opened them again. It was cold and cold, and said in a low voice:

"Today's matter, not a single word is allowed to be disclosed, understand, if not...?
Imperial Physician Wang, Concubine De's birth will be entrusted to you. If you come to ask for pulse every five days, I will give you privileges. If there is something wrong with the empress, hmph... ", Zhao Zhen had a cold light in his eyes.

"Yes! Yes, the old minister obeys the order!"

"The servant (only) complies with the order!"

"Li Mingzhong, send someone to secretly protect Concubine De and the Fourth Prince, and they are inseparable. In addition, find a medical lady to serve in Qingfeng Palace."

"Yes!"

Zhao Zhen looked at the bedroom, thinking of the beloved woman inside, suddenly felt powerless, ashamed to face it, for the sake of the so-called balance, I put her on the brink of life and death again and again, even the woman and child I love the most can't be protected, what can I talk about Frontiers?
Zhao Zhen got up, walked quickly to the bedroom, stretched out his hand to cover the door, paused for a moment, then retracted, turned around and looked at the palace maid and eunuch holding their breath, suddenly pointed at Joy and said, "You are Joy, right?"

Joy was suddenly noticed by the emperor, and he was very puzzled, so he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Go back to the emperor, my servant is happy."

"Okay, loyalty is commendable, I will never forget you, and I will serve Concubine De well in the future!"

Everyone knelt down in fear, "The servant (only) obeys the order!"

"Okay, Concubine De wakes up and tells her that there is something urgent in Zhen Yu's study. I will come to see her in the evening and tell Concubine De not to get up to greet her, but to rest well." After finishing speaking, she glanced back at the closed bedroom door, the bright corner of her clothes Skipping the crowd kneeling on the ground, he strode out of the main hall.

"Congratulations to the emperor!"

As the sun set, the blue sky gradually turned gray, and the night was slowly falling. Occasionally, Zhao Hao's cheerful laughter came out of the side hall, and Zhao Zhen walked out of Qingfeng Palace quickly.

The Tian family is ruthless, the mother's calculations, the wives and concubines' intrigues, this is his only "haven", and he will never allow anyone to destroy it.

In the sleeping hall, Baozhu lying on the bed opened her eyes, and when she looked up, she saw the gauze curtain on the top of the bed, which was as thin as cicada's wings. After waking up, he didn't know how to face himself before leaving in a hurry.

"Happy?" Baozhu called out as she pulled the copper bell on the bedside.

"Master, you're awake." Joy, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, brought people in with copper basins and towels, and fed her a cup of prepared honey water, and then helped her get up to make up.

Nanny Li then brought a small bowl of noodle soup. My master didn't smell meaty this time during her pregnancy, and her appetite was small. Nanny Li quickly turned it light, trying to supplement nutrition for her master.

"Let's all go down, stay happy." Baozhu finished a bowl of noodle soup smoothly. Li Nanny smiled brightly, full of enthusiasm for her remaining enthusiasm, stepped back with an empty bowl, and continued to fight in the kitchen.

"Master, everything has been dealt with. Although the emperor looks very calm, he must be extremely disappointed with what the queen mother has done, and has secretly sent someone to protect the master. The master can rest assured and raise the baby." After everyone retreated, joy Holding the orb for a walk in the bedroom.

"Hmph, after all, it is his own mother who gave birth to him and raised him. I didn't expect the emperor to completely take over here. I just want the emperor to see clearly the vicious intentions of the queen mother and plant a thorn in the emperor's heart. easily provoked by the Queen Mother;

In addition, the emperor is dissatisfied with the queen mother and concubine Wei at the same time. When the two fight, they will not side with each other. Instead, they will help them to a certain extent and prevent them from doing nothing to harm others. Our talents You can fish in troubled waters. "

There was a trace of cruelty in Bao Zhu's eyes, it doesn't matter who you are, if you want to kill me, you have to see if your life is hard enough.

In Kunning Palace, the Empress' face changed suddenly when she heard Nanny Zhang's reply, her eyes sparkled with jealousy, and she sneered again and again, Nanny Zhang couldn't help shivering, the empress's eyes were too terrifying, as if she wanted to swallow people alive.

Regardless of the empress dowager's face, the emperor set up Qingfeng Palace, and at the same time recruited the imperial physician to stay for an afternoon?Jealousy engulfed her reason like a wild beast, the queen felt that she was going crazy, and couldn't get rid of the thought that concubine De and the fourth prince should never step out of Qingfeng Palace again.

The Empress Dowager leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she closed her eyes to rest her mind. Two court ladies stood behind them and fanned them lightly. There was a gust of cool breeze. The two court ladies knelt down and pinched her legs for her. Grandma Sun entered the palace , Whispering in the Queen Mother's ear.

The Empress Dowager's complexion changed, and with a light wave of her hand, the golden armor shone coldly under the light. The maids bowed their knees and retreated, and the Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "The Ai family did not wrong her. It's the third day of junior high, and Aijia wants to see what other tricks she can do?"

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. The Emperor was just confused for a moment and was fascinated by Concubine De. Your Majesty, you are the Emperor's mother. Who can pass you by?" Sun Nanny sighed imperceptibly, and comforted her.

"Hmph, send someone to invite the empress to visit tomorrow. Hey, if the empress strives to give birth to the prince and wins the emperor's mercy, why would the Ai family plot against her son and be a villain in vain?"

"Yes, madam!"

On the next day, there was no concubine De who was in the limelight in the procession of asking for peace, and the newcomers competed for beauty, and there was a sense of superiority. The queen glanced at the concubine who was posing, with a decent smile on her face, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. A slight hint of disgust as it hangs down.

"The concubine de concubine has a lot of blessings, and she needs to pray for the emperor for half a year. All the younger sisters are not allowed to disturb her. In addition, the younger sisters must behave well and strive to open up branches and leaves for the emperor as soon as possible." The queen took a sip of tea and said casually .

Concubine Wei stared at Concubine De's empty seat, and the corners of her mouth that raised the teacup slightly curled up, covered by the lid of the cup lifted, but she did not escape the sharp eyes of Concubine Xian who had been silent all this time, Concubine Xian turned to look at The lower head is as delicate as a flower, a beautiful woman with a happy face, with a plain expression.

The eyes of the people who listened closely to each other flashed light, the lively and lovely Gu Jieyu blinked her big eyes, and said in a clear voice, "Sister De Concubine is really blessed, praying for the emperor for half a year, the emperor should love Sister De Concubine even more ?”

Everyone looked at that pure and white face with a smile like a flower, wondering if she was really ignorant of the world, or...?
Concubine Wei's expression changed instantly when she looked at Gu Jieyu. Who can guarantee that the emperor will forget Concubine De in half a year?Maybe it will be even more favored, it's better to take the opportunity... Concubine Wei broke out in a cold sweat because of her own thoughts.

The iceberg beauty Liu Jieyu who was next to her didn't speak to her, she snorted coldly, as if she was laughing at Gu Jieyu's trouble, or dismissed it, Gu Jieyu was despised and blushed.

The queen was very annoying to the concubines, so she said at the right time, "Okay, sisters, please go back! Serve the emperor well!"

"Yes, the concubine is resigning!" No one noticed, the eyes of Liu Jieyu and Gu Jieyu, who were walking almost at the same time, met and sparks shot out.

In the summer morning, the air is exceptionally fresh, with a hint of twilight, warm and genial, and the flowers and plants are moistened by the dew overnight, sparkling and full of vitality, but the queen has no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery, and hurried towards the Yongshou Palace.

"Mother!", the queen was brought into the main hall, the queen mother had just finished her breakfast, she hurriedly handed over a cup of tea, served the queen mother to rinse her mouth, then helped the queen mother to stand up, walked and sat on the grand master's chair in the main hall.

"Let's all step back, Aijia and the queen have a chat about family affairs." The queen mother waved her hand, and everyone in the hall bowed their knees and retreated.

"Does Rui'er know what the queen mother is doing?" The queen mother glanced at the sluggish queen, knowing that she must have not slept well last night.

"Rui'er is stupid, please make it clear to the queen mother."

"The Ai family knows that you don't like Concubine De, but the fourth prince is the grandson of the Ai family, and the Ai family does not want you to have any wrongdoing."

"Yes!" A trace of unwillingness flashed in the queen's low eyes.

"You have been with the emperor for so many years, you should understand that the emperor's protection is airtight for any prince or princess who has already been born. Aijia hopes that you will not do stupid things. As for Concubine De, Aijia guarantees that she will never leave Qingfeng Palace again. Do you understand?" The queen mother continued earnestly.

The queen's face showed joy, her eyes lit up instantly, and she said in a low voice, "Rui'er understands."

"It's good that you understand. In addition, regarding Zhou Wan'er and Zhou Baolin, she is useful to you and the Li family, so don't give up easily."

"Yes!"

"The Ai family came to you this time for the sake of the divine doctor. The divine doctor Xue hides in the Qingyue Nunnery in the outskirts of the capital. His medical skills are superb, and he can turn decay into magic.

However, this person has a weird temper and is unwilling to take action easily. Your father and grandfather have tried their best this time, and Divine Doctor Xue promised to diagnose you. The Ai family will report to the emperor. Ten days later, Divine Doctor Xue will accompany your mother into the palace. You should do well. Be prepared, nothing can go wrong. "

The queen's face is full of joy, her eyes are shining and tears are shining, can she still have her own prince?With trembling lips, he said, "Yes, Queen Mother!"
