Pregnant concubine divorces her husband: Concubine Ai withdraws the divorce letter

Chapter 179

Some people began to miss Yan Yeling in their hearts. At least when he was around, the prince would not be too arrogant. King Jing was calm and wise, and no one could compare with the prince. Even better.

Ever since Yan Yeling went to the border, King Xian felt more and more depressed day by day. This princeling was suppressed by the court, and no one dared to speak out. He lost the support and guidance of Yan Yeling, and it was even more difficult for him to move forward.

The emperor's father was ill again, but the prince's arrogance was getting higher and higher day by day.

He had nowhere to complain about his suffering, so he often went into the bedroom to see the emperor, and occasionally brought medicine and water, seeing his father's sick and haggard face, made his heart ache even more.

The emperor looked at his son and sighed: "Your Majesty, what happened to the war here? I haven't been to the court for a few days, is there nothing wrong with the court? You don't tell me, it's in my heart I understand, you are afraid that I will be worried, but you don't know anything, is it that my heart is...cough cough...even more unstable...cough"

King Xian stepped forward, patted the emperor's back lightly, and said softly: "Returning to father, my son has just received the news that King Jing has won a new victory in the frontier, and it is a complete victory."

Hearing the words, the emperor showed a trace of relief on his gray face: "My son... finally did not let me... cough cough... didn't let me down..."

King Xian felt even more sad when he saw this, and said softly: "Father, you just need to take good care of your health. Don't you feel relieved that King Jing is at the frontier and General He is here? This victory is also expected, and the courtiers are all here There is talk that maybe the end of the fighting is not far off."

"Hey... Ling'er, how can the father be at ease? He has something in his heart... he doesn't say anything... endures everything... can I not feel sorry for my son? Cough cough... he can Leading the soldiers to fight against grief...cough cough...you have lived up to my good intentions." The emperor revealed his true feelings during his illness, and King Xian was secretly happy for King Jing when he saw it.

It turned out that the emperor sent him to the frontier with a very deep meaning.He still holds a very important position in Father's heart.

"Father, King Jing must be very happy to hear that you think so, but he doesn't know that you are sick. If he knew, he would miss it for some reason." King Xian and King Jing were together, so naturally he spoke well for King Jing.

"Don't let him know...so as not to distract him...this child..." The emperor waved his hand.

Just as King Xian was about to say something, suddenly there was an announcement from the palace servants outside: "The Empress Dowager has arrived..."

King Xian got up and knelt down to greet him. The emperor stood up on the dragon couch and wanted to get out of bed. At this moment, the queen mother had already entered. Seeing the emperor, she hurriedly said distressedly: "My lord, don't get up, lie down quickly..."

As he said that, he walked a few steps closer, sat on the embroidered pier brought by the palace people, held the emperor's hand, and looked back and forth at the emperor's face with his eyes. There was a trace of worry in his eyes, and then disappeared, his face On purpose smiled: "My son feels better today."

"After returning to mother...cough cough, I feel better..." the emperor also said weakly.

But everyone knows in their hearts that this disease is not cured at all.

At this moment, King Xian also called out to the emperor's grandmother. The Queen Mother looked at him and nodded with a smile. In order to give the Queen Mother and the Emperor some space to talk, King Xian immediately left.

After King Xian left, the Empress Dowager murmured: "My grandchildren all look pretty good. They all look very talented, and they all have their own merits. This makes the Ai family very happy."

The emperor also sighed when he heard the words, and said thoughtfully: "Yes."

"Emperor, just now the queen mother heard that Ling'er had won a big victory at the border. This is a good thing. My son should be happy." The queen mother knew that he was worried about the border, so she hurriedly told him with a cheerful face.

The emperor nodded: "I have heard about it, King Jing...cough...this child is also up to date, and he did not disappoint me...cough"

Seeing the emperor coughing uncomfortably, the empress dowager felt a pain in her heart, and reached out to pat him on the back: "My son, these imperial physicians support them on weekdays, they eat and drink well, and their salaries are also quite good, but at critical moments, they are useless." What! Why don't you make an imperial list, maybe there are some capable people among the people."

The emperor waved his hand: "Queen Mother, my son's body...is not a temporary illness...cough cough...it's fine."

The queen mother looked at him and nodded: "Yes, your body is weak since you were young, and you have been worrying about state affairs these years, but you haven't taken care of it well. Hey, you have been thinking hard since you were young, and you have everything in your heart. As a mother, you don't know. Since then, I have weakened my body."

"The empress mother, the son took over Chi Yan from the late emperor... I was afraid that something might go wrong, I'm sorry for the late emperor... I walk cautiously every day, walking on thin ice every day, fortunately my ancestors protected me, I didn't make a big mistake... Sigh, it's just... The crown prince makes my ministers worry!" Today, for some reason, the emperor told the empress dowager what he had buried in his heart.

The queen mother was taken aback, seeing what he said, she thought for a while and said, "My son, what big mistake did the crown prince make?"

The emperor shook his head: "In terms of talent and virtue, the prince should not be in this position."

"Emperor, what did you say? He didn't come to see you in the palace recently?" Let him go on, but in fact, she really wants to hear the inner world of her son emperor.

The emperor shook his head and leaned back. The queen mother made a brocade pillow and put it behind him to cushion him. But...cough cough...but I thought King Lijing would be the crown prince..."

The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up, and she also sighed: "That child, Ling'er, has the most temper towards Ai's family. There are also many grandchildren of Ai's family. Every time I see Ling'er, Ai's family feels distressed. That child is too sensible. , from childhood to adulthood.”

The emperor continued: "Ling'er talks about talent, and he doesn't lack in virtue... Ahem, I have always known that he is used to keeping a low profile and never striving for merit, but I know that he has everything in his heart." Qian Qiqi...he also has the domineering spirit of a king...ahem...Queen Mother, it is worthwhile to be reviled if you say that my son should think about the country."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother was completely shocked.

The emperor said that King Jing is used to keeping a low profile, so why not himself?People think that the emperor is weak, but in fact he knows everything in his heart, he is not confused about major issues, and he can judge people accurately.

"Huang Er, this matter is no small matter, have you thought it through?"

"My son is also hesitating... because of the ancestral system... ahem..." The emperor's face was even more ugly.

The mother and son were having a heart-to-heart conversation here, and no one expected that their conversation fell into the ears of a person outside. The person with a phoenix crown and Xiapei and a pair of almond-shaped eyes were terrified because of hearing the conversation inside the room. It was the queen who came to greet the emperor.

Just now the palace people said that the queen mother was inside, she wanted to turn around and go back, let them talk for a while, and went in by herself, it was not good, so she didn't let the palace people inform, but when she turned around, she suddenly heard the emperor mentioning the word prince .

She stopped, and her ears were attached to the window lattice. She heard the next words in her ears, which made her hands tremble, and she was at a loss.

After a while, she came to her senses, and then she realized that the emperor would not be serious. So he still had such thoughts in his heart. If he hadn't heard it today, he would have foolishly thought that the crown prince's position was very strong.

The empress walked out with vacant footsteps. Those palace people didn't hear the conversation, and they didn't know why the empress had such an expression.

When the queen returned to the palace, she immediately asked someone to declare the prince.

Yan Yeling happened to be in the palace, and when he heard the queen calling him, he didn't expect anything special, and he wasn't in a hurry. When he arrived, he saw that the queen's face had changed, and he was in a daze. It looked like he came in, and before he bowed down, the queen immediately rushed forward, tugging at the prince's sleeve and hurriedly said: "Qing'er, something is wrong."
