Long Harem Road

Chapter 95

As Baozhu's delivery date approached, the atmosphere in Qingfeng Palace became more and more dignified and tense. The lively and active fourth prince felt the oppressive and heavy atmosphere, and unexpectedly quieted down, quite well-behaved. sensible.

Little did they know, the little guy had been brainwashed by the emperor a few days ago, and he only waited for the arrival of the little sister, and was afraid that, as his father said, the little sister would be scared away because of his fuss, and no one would be able to play with him in the future.

"Bao'er, are you feeling unwell?" Zhao Zhen looked nervously at Bao Zhu who was leaning on the bed in front of him, his brows suddenly frowned, and stretched out his hand to lightly touch the high protruding abdomen, and said nervously.

"Your majesty, you are too nervous, and your concubine is fine! Your majesty, my concubine has been restless recently, and I always feel..." Baozhu thought again and again, for Zhao Hao, for the sake of the child in her belly, this time, she had to borrow the emperor's help. potential.

"Bao'er may be too worried, don't worry, I'm here, doesn't Bao'er trust me?" Zhao Zhen joked while holding Baozhu's hand with a smile.

"emperor!"

"Bao'er just care about raising the baby with peace of mind, and give birth to a pink and tender little princess for me, and leave the rest to me, okay?" Zhao Zhen stared into Baozhu's eyes with firm eyes, and it was time to finish it. .

"Yeah!", Baozhu smiled slightly, and took a reassurance. With the emperor's control over the harem, after the momentary oversight last time, he no longer underestimated women. If he wants to protect Qingfeng Palace, it should not be a problem.

Different from the emperor's eagerness to see through, except for the good concubines Xian and Shu who had a good relationship with Baozhu, in just a few months, a group of concubines in the harem headed by Wei Guifei reached a tacit consensus and tried every means to attract the emperor's attention.

At this moment, the importance of princes and daughters is self-evident. Apart from Concubine Qingfeng Gongde, several concubines with children have become the lucky ones to be able to meet the emperor, but that's all!

With the passage of time, jealousy and resentment piled up like a snowball, eroding their sanity crazily, and they were on the verge of breaking out!
At this time, they actually missed the empress who could restrain the concubine De, and forgot that it was their help that made the empress collapse so quickly.

Imperial study room

Zhao Zhen pursed his thin lips tightly, and tapped the imperial case rhythmically with his slender and strong fingers, "Boom, boom, boom", Li Mingzhong, who was bowing down, followed every knocking sound with his heart, It was hung up and down, but after a while, it was already sweating profusely.

Finally, with a clanging and powerful impact, the emperor said slowly, "Unexpectedly, it was Liu Jieyu who lost her composure for the first time! Duke Liu's mansion is exhausted, no wonder Liu Jieyu would be the first to jump out."

Hearing the emperor's words, Li Mingzhong let out a long breath in secret, lifted his long sleeves and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, cursing in his heart, "My lord, they are your concubines. You have only favored Concubine De for several months. They can hold their breath until Now, it's the extreme, instead of dying alone in the palace, it's better to seize the opportunity and fight to the death.

"Li Mingzhong, I've been keeping a close eye on you for the past few days. If there is a slight disturbance, you don't need to report it, and deal with it immediately to ensure the safety of Qingfeng Palace!",
Zhao Zhen coldly ordered that Bao'er's delivery date is approaching, and they might take advantage of the opportunity to do something. I must make sure that everything is safe. He will never underestimate women's wisdom and ruthlessness, and he will catch her before they do it. Evidence, completely eradicate them, never future troubles!
Thinking that the past few months have been their limit, it's time to act!

For this day, he has been planning for a long time. No matter how patient he is, no matter how tough his heart is, the ubiquitous clumsy encounters, using his heirs to seek meetings without giving up, have made him extremely tired. This time, he must Let them eat their own fruit!
On the [-]th day of March in the seventh year of Yuan Qing Dynasty, the eastern sky just revealed a white belly, a gust of spring breeze passed by, and the golden sunshine filled the earth in a flash. At the same time, a loud cry of a baby resounded through the clouds.

Sitting upright in the main hall of Qingfeng Palace, Zhao Zhen stood up suddenly with a tense expression, a bright light shot out from his tired eyes, and he stared closely at the direction of the inner hall.

A group of concubines who hadn't slept all night and were exhausted, with unwillingness and disappointment in their eyes, followed the emperor to get up.

The long nails in the sleeves dug into the palms of their hands, and glanced cautiously at the emperor who ignored them. The unwillingness, jealousy, and resentment in his eyes appeared one by one. Only the pain in the palms reminded them not to lose their composure.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are a healthy prince, seven catties and three taels!", Nanny Li walked in front of the Emperor with her yellow swaddle in her arms, the smile on her face piled up like a chrysanthemum.

Zhao Zhen completely ignored the little guy in Nanny Li's arms, staring at the quickly closed palace door with bright eyes, "How is Concubine De?" After suffering all night, without a drop of water, his throat was a little dry and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Your Majesty is fine, she has already fallen asleep, and the Queen does not need to worry about you." Nanny Li dragged the little prince to the emperor as if presenting a treasure, "Your Majesty, look, how much does the little prince look like you?", like the emperor , I am afraid that apart from the Queen Mother, only Nanny Li can say this.

Zhao Zhen's gaze was finally attracted by the baby in the swaddling state, and he realized it later, and raised his voice slightly disappointed, "Nurse, yes, is it the prince?"

As a confidant of Qingfeng Palace, Nanny Li knows how much the emperor expects his master's birth to be a little princess. Seeing the emperor's disappointment but joy entanglement, Nanny Li is very happy. The old slave's guess is really good , the master really gave birth to another little prince.

"Your Majesty, you are a little prince!", Mother Li repeated decisively after seeing the wise and mighty emperor deflated.

The disappointment in Zhao Zhen's heart disappeared in a flash. The little princess who is as soft, waxy and tender as Bao'er, how did she become a brat?In an instant, he was attracted by the little red guy in the swaddle.

He didn't know if he was the same as this little guy when he was a child, but the bond of blood can't be faked anyway, maybe because this little guy carried too much hope in his mother's belly, this kind of feeling is especially special. profound.

Zhao Zhen's heart melted in an instant. He stretched out his hands and took it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He couldn't help but feel complacent. He deserves to be my prince. "The seventh prince was born when the sun was rising, and he was named Xu."

Zhen and Bao'er are still young, and there will always be a little princess. In fact, a smart and cute prince like the fourth prince is also good. Of course, when he is not robbing Bao'er from me.

Concubine Wei Gui, who had been working hard for the third prince for days, was getting thinner and thinner. Standing at the back closest to the emperor, she saw the warmth of the emperor gently hugging the little prince. Staring at the man in front of him.

It was such an honor to be given a name just after birth. Her third prince was still lying in the hospital bed fighting against the serious illness all the time, but Concubine De already had two healthy princes. How could she be reconciled to this?

Obviously, the vast majority of concubines and imperial concubines have the same thoughts. However, in the world of feelings, there is never right or wrong, only "inadvertently" caught the eye and stole the heart.

Carefully handing the baby in his arms to Nanny Li, Zhao Zhen looked earnestly into the hall, "I'm going to see Concubine De."

"Your majesty, you can't...." The unspoken words were swallowed under the impatient eyes of the emperor. Li Mingzhong and Nanny Li looked at each other, but shut up helplessly. The emperor had already opened the door and entered the inner hall.

The eyes of those behind who were completely ignored were red, and their hearts were riddled with holes. At this moment, they could no longer deceive themselves, the emperor only had Concubine De in his heart.

The concubines who Lang Lang staggered back to the palace didn't know that all this was just the beginning.

The Concubine De concubine gave birth to the Seventh Prince smoothly, and the Seventh Prince won the Sacred Heart, and the news that he was named Zhao Xu just after birth seemed to have grown wings, and it spread to all the families at the fastest speed. Cool, but the families with their daughters in the palace sighed.

Soon, Zhou Wan'er, the daughter of Zhou Cai who was reprimanded and grounded for abusing court ladies and vicious minds, sneaked out of Roufu Palace while others were unawares, pretending to be a court lady to sneak into Qingfeng Palace, and assassinate Concubine De and the fourth prince.

Unexpectedly, due to bad luck and a bad start, the guards of Qingfeng Palace noticed her sneakiness. In the chaos, the crazy Zhou Cainu stabbed the guard eunuch, took advantage of the chaos and fled, hiding in which master's palace.

The emperor was furious, and the concubines in the harem were so maddened and held grudges, would they one day assassinate me who ordered her to be grounded?This matter must not be tolerated and punished severely, Zhou Cainu must be caught as quickly as possible.

Before everyone in the harem reacted, how did Zhou Cainv, who had been silent in the harem for a long time, break through the layers of surveillance by the maids and eunuchs and look for an opportunity to escape?
Li Mingzhong, Chief Li and the commander of the imperial guards accepted the emperor's order and led the court ladies and eunuchs of the Qianqing Dynasty.

When the concubines in the harem were still ignorant, they were caught off guard by the sudden Manager Li. Manager Li very politely conveyed the emperor's concern for the safety of the masters, and would do his best to ensure the safety of the masters.

So, Mr. Li pretended not to understand and couldn't see the express hints of the masters, and arranged people logically amidst the gnashing of teeth and eyebrows and eyes of the crowd, and carefully checked.

But for a moment, under the deliberate investigation of professionals, and the pale and ashen faces of a group of concubines pretending to be calm, a large number of secrets that should not exist were taken away.

In the cold palace, in a remote place, Zhou Cainu was sitting paralyzed on the cold stone slab. Standing in front of her was a big eunuch in a red eunuch uniform. It was Li Mingzhong, the celebrity in front of the emperor. A tray with white silk and poisoned wine on it.

Li Mingzhong was condescending, and said coldly, "Zhou Cainu, please go on the road!"

Zhou Wan'er's eyes were dull, she slowly raised her eyes when she heard the words, her eyes were dead silent, she suddenly laughed loudly, "Haha, I can't resist fate!", she rushed forward and snatched the wine pot, raised her head and poured it into her mouth, convulsed and fell On the ground, the pupils gradually dilated.

"Hey, there must be something pitiful about a hateful person, and you can be regarded as giving the last bit of energy to the emperor, and you are another stupid woman who doesn't take the situation lightly.

This harem, only the emperor does not want to know, there is nothing that cannot be known! ", Li Mingzhong looked at Zhou Cainu who was lying on the ground, and shook his head slightly and sighed, "Drag it on! ", then turned and left.
