Chapter 50

Ziyue sat quietly on the bed after taking a shower, thinking about what happened today, guessing who would have done it, it happened so suddenly, and it was here in the palace, it was really hard to guess.

An An found that Ziyue didn't play with him as usual today, she quickly crawled towards Ziyue, lay down on Ziyue's body all of a sudden, and rubbed her face on Ziyue's chest twice, but didn't get any response from Ziyue, grandma There was a childish 'hum': "Cool!"

Suddenly he came back to his senses, Ziyue lowered his head and saw An An who was blinking his big eyes and pouting his mouth, and he saw that his two hands were holding the clothes under her armpit respectively, and his chin was just stuck on her twin peaks. In the meantime, tears were still shining in the big black grape-like eyes.Two short legs clamped her waist, moving restlessly.

Seeing An An's aggrieved appearance, Zi Yue stretched out his hands to hold his buttocks and lifted them up, kissed his pouty little mouth with pouting lips, and softly said against his forehead: "Mother's little baby! I can't play any more, I'm going to sleep, you know?"

I was really ashamed in my heart: Whose kid is this, he has become a genius!

It seems that 001 is right, she really can't underestimate An An.Tsk, the things in the smart world are really good. Although it made An An sensible, it didn't backfire.

Number 001 suddenly said to Zi: "Thank you for the compliment!"

Confucius said: "..."

After getting Zi Yue's attention, An An's eyes lit up, and her little mouth immediately burst into a smile.As Ziyue's body slid down, after lying on the bed, Ziyue placed An An by his side, and An An also leaned against Ziyue. After the two women looked at each other for a while, Ziyue gently patted An An's buttocks, Put him to sleep.

With Ziyue's comfort, An An played with Ziyue's lapel for a while, and gradually fell asleep...

And on this night, some people in the palace could not sleep.

After the Empress Dowager Shengci received the express and heard the news, she couldn't see the emotion clearly on her face, but her knuckles turned white while holding the teacup, and the corners of her mouth were stiff.

Seeing this, the queen hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said: "Gu Gu calm down."

Empress Dowager Shengci turned a deaf ear to the queen's words and dropped the teacup heavily.As long as she thought of the Eldest Prince evading her tricks time and time again, and Ning Zhaoyuan's petty appearance, she couldn't help showing a look of contempt on her face.

Seeing that the queen mother has not spoken, the queen's expression remains unchanged, hesitating for a moment before probing: "Auntie, this time I didn't succeed, what should I do next?"

Empress Dowager Shengci glanced at him, pursed her lips and said with a sneer: "Last time the incident was blamed on Concubine De, this time I'm afraid we won't be able to find such a good scapegoat, what do you think can be done next? "

The Empress Dowager's tone was full of blame and disappointment. She was disappointed with the Empress's weakness and ignorance. If the Empress were a little tougher, they would not be in such a situation, let alone let a little noble concubine run amok in the palace.

The queen was startled, lowered her eyes, and said nothing for a long time.After so many years, being the puppet of her aunt for so many years, she is very tired. She wants to live, but this kind of life is not what she wants.

My aunt is strong, there is no room for her to speak in front of my aunt, her weakness is what my aunt hates the most, but after so many years, she has become more and more ruthless.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Shengci hated iron for not being able to make steel, closed her eyes and stopped talking.

Although she was imprisoned in the palace in a disguised form by the emperor, she had been operating in the palace for so many years, and it was impossible for her to have her own secrets, so even if she was in the palace, she knew everything outside.Ning Zhaoyuan was ignorant and refused to give the child to the empress to raise. The emperor was also resolute and refused to let go of the eldest prince.

Since it is not available, there is no need for the child to live.

The change of Concubine De and Xingui's fawning on Kangshou Palace just gave her an opportunity, but it's a pity that Xingui is really useless, and the number of times she goes to Kangshou Palace is too little. It was discovered by that temptress in Kangshou Palace.

But with Concubine De as the scapegoat, even if this matter is exposed, it will not harm her and the queen.Besides, in order to clear up the suspicion, she also put a little bit on Concubine Xu. Every time the Empress met Concubine Xu, she would get sick.

It's a pity that everything was fine, but this matter was discovered.She checked, and it was Ning Zhaoyuan's inexplicable words that made the temptress suspicious!
The failure of the plan made her even more unwilling to see the existence of the eldest prince, plus the news of Lin Bin's twins, all this made her intolerable.Originally, the empress advised her to calm down and ask for a prince to keep the Xu family, but Zhao Huangling was too heartless, a child born to a lowly maid refused to give it to her!The queen's power, which was weakened before, is still slowly cleaning up her people, so she will not show mercy and let his child fall to the ground!
There are her people in the palace. Although she doesn't know how the imperial concubine arranges the residence, the place in Jingyuan is a very nice place with good scenery and good scenery. The people who live there are all the concubines who are more favored. There is the eldest prince, Concubine Zhuang is pregnant, and Concubine Lin is also pregnant.According to the way the imperial concubine usually manages the harem, this place must be the residence of one of these three people.

The emperor let the imperial concubine take full control of the harem, not only slapping the empress in the face, but also slapping her in the face. The imperial concubine is not easy to get along with, nor is it easy to handle, she has been holding back her words.Recently, she has a feeling that has become more and more clear that as long as the queen is gone, the imperial concubine will definitely be pushed back by the emperor.

This strategy of the palace is a good way to kill two birds with one stone. As long as one of Concubine Zhuang, Ning Zhaoyuan, and Concubine Lin has a problem, the noble concubine cannot escape the responsibility. With the emperor's temperament, the imperial concubine's power will definitely be swayed.Concubine Xian is the choice to retreat and seek the best, and she is easier to deal with than the concubine, and she is also easier to deal with than the concubine.When it fell, neither of the two left behind could escape.

It's just... Empress Dowager Shengci clenched her teeth, feeling resentful in her heart, and clenched her fists tightly.That little bitch Ning Zhaoyuan actually found something in the bedpost on the first day!All her arrangements were destroyed.

Now that there is nothing left, she is not afraid of being known about this matter, she is just not reconciled!She is the first emperor's first wife, the empress of the world, and she has always been extremely honorable, but now... now she is under house arrest in this dark place, without any power, and her hands are tied in doing things.And the temptress in Kangshou Palace is not even qualified to wash her feet, but now she is showing off her might outside, not because she gave birth to a son, she is not reconciled!

Ning Zhaoyuan, it was the appearance of this lowly maid who disrupted all her plans. Obviously that temptress deserved to die, but she was still extremely healthy.This lowly maidservant, please don't be a palace maidservant to study medicinal food and recuperate the body of the temptress...

Thinking about it now, Empress Dowager Shengci has a mouthful of old blood stuck in her throat!If he had known that this lowly maid had disrupted all her plans, he should have helped Concubine De get rid of her that day before she was ready.

It's too late to say anything now, for now, it's better to deal with the people in the palace first. After this incident, the first thing she will deal with is Ning Zhaoyuan, this lowly maid!

The empress looked at the empress dowager's gloomy expression, she was very helpless towards this aunt, hesitated for a while, and then asked concerned: "Auntie, is it okay for us to be like this?"

The Empress Dowager Shengci suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were full of light, and said sharply: "Queen, do you still remember your own surname? Your surname is Xu!"

The queen's expression was suffocated, and she said in a low voice: "The concubine just doesn't want my aunt to work so hard. The situation is over, aunt, the emperor is no longer that powerless prince." She really doesn't want to do this anymore, those children are innocent after all.In the past, my aunt asked her to inject sterilization pills on the people in the original house. My aunt said that for her Huang'er, she must do so.

She hesitated at that time, but the medicine was given after they gave birth to their children, and she did it for Huang'er, but watched those children die one by one.Only then did she know that there were some things that she did not take for granted, that her aunt would not allow the emperor to have other children, this kind of madness surprised and frightened her, and slowly, she could only be forced to accept it for the sake of the Xu family.

Regarding the empress, Empress Dowager Shengci has no expectations at all. Although Concubine Xu is arrogant, but in terms of ruthlessness, she is definitely more creative than the empress. She waved her hand impatiently. She didn't even bother to look at the empress, and said: "You are not in good health, go back, you don't need to worry about these things. If you really want me to rest assured, take care of your own body."

The queen also felt uncomfortable, her face turned pale, but she didn't dare to disobey her aunt, she took the maids and left Mingci Palace.When she came out, she was already staggering, half of her body was leaning on the maid, and tears ran down her cheeks.

Yes, her surname is Xu, and she is the daughter of the Xu family. She cannot ignore the interests of the Xu family for her own sake. She must guard the Xu family and its power.

If she could, she really didn't want to be born in Xu's family. Such a seemingly glorious family made her extremely tired. Her body was tired, and her heart was also tired.

The next day, Ziyue took An'an and accompanied the Queen Mother to finish breakfast, and then the imperial concubine arrived, saying that a new residence had been arranged for Ziyue. close.

The Empress Dowager actually likes to live with Ziyue An'an very much. Someone can accompany her to talk and amuse her grandson. Zi said it was settled in the past.

Ziyue came out with the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine saw the nanny holding An An, stepped forward and scraped An An's face, and laughed softly: "It's so slippery!" Have you been molested by Chi Guoguo? !Still in front of her.

An An would not be shy with strangers, nor would he be too lively. After the imperial concubine teased him, he would stare at the imperial concubine closely, with those small eyes full of resentment.The noble concubine felt inexplicably happy seeing her, and praised: "The eldest prince is the most energetic child I have ever seen. Ning Zhaoyuan must not be sloppy, and educate her well."

Zi said Weiwei blessed her body, and immediately said with a bright smile: "Ms. Cheng has said auspicious words."

As a parent, it is a happy thing for a child to be praised by others, and a person as cold and arrogant as the imperial concubine feels that An An is good, and she is even more honored.

The two walked together for a while, and the noble concubine said: "What happened yesterday was due to my negligence, which shocked Ning Zhaoyuan and the eldest prince." She paused slightly after speaking, "The emperor has ordered people to investigate this matter strictly. I can't get it, otherwise, I will definitely find out that vicious person and make amends to Ning Zhaoyuan and the eldest prince."

The smile on Ziyue's face faltered, and he turned to a light smile and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, since the emperor is in charge of this matter, he can't escape."

The noble concubine smiled faintly, and said: "Anyway, this matter is my fault for Ning Zhaoyuan and the eldest prince. If Ning Zhaoyuan hadn't discovered the abnormality and kept the eldest prince, I would have to bear the blame for my death."

This sentence is indeed sincere, if the eldest prince and Ning Zhaoyuan are recruited, no matter whether it has anything to do with her or not, with the emperor's temperament, she will definitely be implicated.

Seeing what she said, Ziyue just smiled and changed the subject and asked: "I have something I want to ask the imperial concubine, the imperial doctor went to various sisters to check yesterday, did they find anything?"

The noble concubine's face darkened, she shook her head and said: "Except for the Jingyuan where you were going to settle in yesterday, there is nothing unusual elsewhere."

Seeing the concubine's cold face, although Zi Yue felt that the concubine is down-to-earth today, he didn't dare to have any other questions, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he said: "This matter is so mysterious, the concubine's mother is very serious. Don't be upset by this, since the emperor is in charge, let's wait for the emperor's result."

The noble concubine suddenly smiled, looked at the son and said: "With such a free and easy temperament, it's no wonder that Ning Zhaoyuan is liked by the emperor and the queen mother. It's just that if you push all the troublesome things to the emperor, aren't you afraid that the emperor will know?"

Ziyue smiled lightly, and a cunning flashed across his face: "As the saying goes, those who are capable work harder, and concubines don't have that ability even if they want to worry about it. The only thing a concubine can do is not to make trouble for the emperor." With a smile on her face, she lowered her voice and said: "However, the imperial concubine must keep the secrets for the concubines, don't tell the emperor."

But at this time, a cold and familiar laughter came to mind: "But I have already heard what to do? I think you are lazy, but you still find some high-sounding excuses."

Both Ziyue and the noble concubine were startled, and hurriedly saluted: "The emperor is safe!"

"Get up."

At first, Ziyue was still thinking about how to deal with the embarrassment made by the emperor, but An An saw a familiar person next to him, and kept yelling "Father, Father", and the words were clearly pronounced, which made Ziyue have the urge to vomit blood. Although this little brat usually kisses her, every time he calls her 'cool, cool, cool', if it weren't for that soft voice, it would really make her feel cold.

Zhao Huangling was very happy to be liked by her son, she swept away the bad luck of what happened yesterday, and asked the nanny who was holding An An to take An An.As soon as An An hugged Zhao Huangling's neck, her little mouth pressed a wet kiss on his face.

At the beginning, Zhao Huangling also rejected this kind of intimacy, but every time he saw Ziyue and An'an kissing each other, the two were very happy, so he tried to accept his son's enthusiasm.Gradually, he also noticed the difference. When he was with An An, he was always easily infected by his emotions. He became happy and forgot about those troublesome things.

Seeing this scene, the imperial concubine was greatly shocked. Is the emperor in front of her really that ruthless emperor? !The emperor is indeed tender to the women in the palace, but she can live a new life. She knows very well that it is just a mask, a mask worn by the women in the harem.Glancing at the smiling Ning Zhaoyuan in a blink of an eye, she knew in her heart that she had underestimated this Ning Zhaoyuan, and it was really not easy for her to make the emperor like this.

Understanding the subtlety between Ning Zhaoyuan and the emperor, seeing them as warm as family, the imperial concubine felt a little bitter.In the blink of an eye, she suppressed the bitterness in her heart: Didn't I agree that in this life, I only want to preserve the Qin family and destroy the enemy, and don't think about anything else.

Having done enough psychological construction for herself, the imperial concubine still had things to deal with, so she resigned first, leaving only a court lady to lead the way for Ziyue.

Zhao Huangling was going to the Empress Dowager's place, but Ziyue said that he would not go there as soon as he came out from the Empress Dowager's place.Zhao Huangling felt that since he was the person involved in this matter, it is feasible to observe it, and he has no clue about this matter at present. He and the queen mother are very familiar with the people in the palace, but sometimes they are blinded by their familiarity.

After the imperial concubine separated from the emperor and his party, Jinran looked at her master's pensive face and said, "Your Majesty, look at the emperor's appearance, I shouldn't blame you for what happened yesterday."

"The world is unpredictable. This incident was not done by me, but it does not mean that I have no suspicions. Such a good plan to kill two birds with one stone, I am afraid that the person behind it has already planned to put the blame on me." Things can be big or small, she really doesn't feel at ease at all, the emperor looks good at the moment, but if he doesn't keep it right, he will turn his face in the blink of an eye, this is not uncommon in the last life.

After hearing the words, Jinran also had a look of worry on her cheeks: "I don't know who did it. It's so vicious, but it's also stupid. The black widow is a living thing. If she was released rashly, she would be discovered."

The noble lady smiled, and said mysteriously: "This black widow, I'm afraid the people behind her didn't expect it."

Jinran was stunned for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, what is the explanation?"

"If you can hide things silently in the bedposts, then you won't be stupid and blatantly release the black widow. Let's just watch, I want to see who is behind, and I want to drag me into the water together. "There are not many people in this palace who have the guts and cunning to plot against her like this.

The master and servant didn't take two steps when an older eunuch came over and said respectfully: "My servant greets the imperial concubine and empress, good luck to the imperial concubine and empress!"

The noble concubine looked at the eunuch with a strange face, raised her face and said, "Where are you from? What's the matter stopping me?"

The eunuch hesitated slightly, and said with a flattering smile, "The servant is the residence of Master Concubine Lin, and has been working in the palace. Master Lin wants to invite Madam to drink tea, and Madam will show her face."

The noble concubine said with a half-smile when she heard the words: "Concubine Lin is very interested, but it's a pity that I don't have time to spare. I'm afraid I will waste Concubine Lin's efforts."

The eunuch smiled slightly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Master Lin ordered, if the imperial concubine can't spare some time, please ask the imperial concubine to show her face when she is free. Everything depends on the imperial concubine's time."

The imperial concubine gave an 'en': "Serve Concubine Lin well, I'll serve you well, I will transfer you to serve in the palace when the time comes."

When the eunuch heard the words, the wrinkles on his face were full of laughter, and his voice was also very high: "Thank you for your appreciation!" He bowed his body and lowered his head to send the imperial concubine away.

After walking away, Jinran said: "Madam, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Concubine Lin? Although she is usually polite to Madam, she is also distant. Why did she take the initiative to invite Madam to drink tea today?"

The noble concubine smiled lightly, and said coldly: "Yesterday she was talking too much in Jingyuan, and today I invited me to go to make amends. If I want to make amends, I asked me to go to her on my own initiative. She is really arrogant."

Jinran immediately understood, and said contemptuously: "This concubine Lin is too arrogant! The master is the concubine who is the head of the four concubines. She is a small concubine, how dare she let the master go to her place."

The imperial concubine said with a cold face, "Don't worry about her, just go back."

Concubine Lin didn't invite the imperial concubine, so her face immediately turned ugly, and she rewarded the eunuch and let him go down.Leaning on the chaise longue, she gently rubbed her forehead.

Huayu pressed the master's shoulders, seeing that the master did not speak, and did not know how to speak, what kind of person is the imperial concubine, except for Ning Zhaoyuan in the palace who had been with the imperial concubine when she was a court lady, other than that, no concubine could Got along with the imperial concubine.In fact, she disapproved of the master going to find the imperial concubine or empress, if one is not done well, there will be no good fruit to eat.

Concubine Lin really wanted to ease the relationship with the imperial concubine. Yesterday, she irritated the imperial concubine by talking too much. If she didn't take the initiative to ask for peace, she would not have a good result because of the imperial concubine's personality of always showing her teeth.The gentle and beautiful person who lives in the same palace with her has a harmonious face, but she is the object to be guarded against. However, there is a problem with Xingui. There is only one indisputable concubine, and her strength is far from enough.

Although she is pregnant, her time in the palace is short after all, and the emperor doesn't favor or love her, and her family background is better than Concubine Zhuang's.Originally, I thought that now there is Ning Zhaoyuan's eldest prince, and later Concubine Zhuang is pregnant. Once Concubine Zhuang gives birth to a child, she will be promoted to the fourth concubine, which is the biggest threat to the imperial concubine.In any case, the imperial concubine will join hands with her, even if they can't become friends, a temporary alliance is fine, but unexpectedly, the imperial concubine has no interest in these things.

Caressing her belly, Concubine Lin's expression was determined. In order to protect her child, she could not sit still. Even if she lost face and begged the concubine, she would win her over. .

She didn't believe that the imperial concubine could refuse once, and could refuse again and again. Thinking of this, Concubine Lin said: "Help me to rest, let's visit the imperial concubine tomorrow."

Huayu was stunned, and supported Lin Bin and said: "Master, that noble concubine is moody. She may not be able to get rid of the incident in Jingyuan this time, and she will be punished by the emperor at any time. Let's not get involved with the noble concubine."

Concubine Lin would not think that what happened in Jingyuan was the work of the concubine. With the importance the emperor attaches to the concubine and the power of the concubine's natal family, the concubine will definitely not have any problems. Don't avoid suspicion, the imperial concubine will definitely accept her love.With this friendship, the imperial concubine would at least help her, instead of watching or adding insult to injury.

However, she didn't tell Huayu these things, and went to rest indoors quietly.No matter what, the noble concubine must go this time, and only the noble concubine can help her in the palace.
