Empress Fenghua

Chapter 61
Gu Shuangcheng had just walked into the room, but with a tired look, she didn't notice that the candles were lit in the room.

"You're back?" Ye Congjia's indifferent and strange tone startled Gu Shuangcheng.

Seeing Ye Congjia sitting upright on the bed, Gu Shuangcheng's heart tightened.Ever since the wedding night, Gu Shuangcheng was terrified of Ye Congjia coming to her room, but Ye Congjia seemed to refuse to let Gu Shuangcheng do what she wanted, and would come to torture herself every few days.Now except for his face, Gu Shuangcheng's whole body is covered with bruises.

Ye Congjia narrowed her eyes, revealing a hint of danger, "Why are you still dumb after entering the palace? Didn't you hear what the king asked? Why don't you go to the palace to meet your good sister Ning Huazhong and know something, I'm afraid I'll miss it Woolen cloth?"

Gu Shuangcheng was shocked, and said quickly, "I don't know, I just saw the prince here, and I didn't react for a while." Gu Shuangcheng waited for Ye Congjia's fate with a hanging heart. She knew that Ye Congjia's eyeliner was all over the place. In the palace of several princes.I don't know if Ye Congjia knew about He Xiaojin's pregnancy today, so she didn't dare to take it lightly.

Ye Congjia snorted coldly, stepped forward and pinched Gu Shuangcheng's chin, "Isn't the princess going to tell the truth?"

"The concubine really doesn't know anything. If the prince already knows, why bother to ask the concubine?" Gu Shuangcheng tried his best to keep himself calm.

Just as Ye Congjia was about to speak, she heard the voice of the maid Diewu from outside.

"My lord, Concubine Ning is not feeling well. I want to invite my lord to go and have a look! Please move my lord to the Huayan Pavilion." Die Wu is Ning Huayan's maid. Concubine Ning appeared unwell, and then invited Ye Congjia to Huayan Pavilion.

Gu Shuangcheng was very grateful for Die Wu's appearance, and said quickly, "Concubine Ning is delicate and frail, she must be feeling unwell, the prince should hurry over and have a look!"

"The princess is generous!" Ye Congjia snorted coldly, "It's like this every time, doesn't it make the king neglect the princess?"

Gu Shuangcheng forced a smile, "It's okay! I know that the prince loves side concubine Ning, so I will definitely understand!"

Ye Congjia's eyes were full of anger, and she squeezed Gu Shuangcheng's chin even harder.Gu Shuangcheng couldn't help frowning his willow eyebrows, trembling.

"My lord, let's go see Concubine Ning! Concubine Ning's stomach hurts unbearably, she is crying to see her..."

"If you feel unwell, go to the doctor! What's the use of looking for this king!" Ye Congjia roared, "If you come to disturb this king again, be careful of your head!"

There was no sound from outside anymore, it seems that Ye Congjia must be in the Shuangqiyuan today.Gu Shuangcheng couldn't help closing his eyes, and two lines of tears flowed out.

"Why are you crying, princess? This king came to see you because he loves you. If you are worthless, this king will not have the skill!" Ye Congjia raised his hand and slapped Gu Shuangcheng's cheek, leaving five red marks immediately. "Tell me! Do you even know about that?"

Gu Shuangcheng only felt a buzzing sound in his ears, and the burning pain on his face seemed to swell instantly. Gu Shuangcheng choked up and said, "I really don't know anything, I don't understand what the prince is talking about?"

Ye Congjia snorted coldly, "It seems that the king's spies have already told the king, but I just want to hear the princess say it herself. Seeing this situation, the princess is going to be stubborn to the end! Then don't blame the king for disregarding the relationship between husband and wife gone."

Ye Congjia slapped Gu Shuangcheng on the other side of the cheek again. Gu Shuangcheng trembled, grunted, and clenched his teeth tightly.

Ye Congjia looked at Gu Shuangcheng's forbearance with a cold face, a strange blood red flowed from the snow-white skin, his face was swollen high, and he had a somewhat sad and beautiful gaze.

Ye Congjia smiled, "This king likes the indifferent and forbearing appearance of the princess, don't you like the integrity of chrysanthemums? Will you give up for the family now? Hmph! This king knows that the princess is pregnant, from your mouth What's the difference if you say it? Since you are desperately trying to protect your good sister, you have to bear this king's anger!"

Gu Shuangcheng looked at Ye Congjia in shock, "Don't hurt Xiao Jin, she is innocent!"

"Are you finally willing to speak? It's a pity that there is no such thing as innocent!" Ye Congjia pulled Gu Shuangcheng over and threw her to the ground.

Gu Shuangcheng's forehead bumped against the corner of the table, and his eyes were suddenly blood red, and there was another burst of heart-piercing pain...

inner palace.

At the highest point of the inner palace, there is an observatory.Usually no one approached, but at this moment a slender figure came out from the darkness.Under the moonlight, the clothes are like water, and three thousand blue hairs are floating in the wind, like a fairy under the moon.

The flowers were washed to the fullest, and while there was no one in the night, they picked up the jade flute in their hands and started blowing.The quiet flute sound came from the high platform, with a hint of depression and sadness, like smoke and mist in the quiet night, with a hint of ethereal taste, like water droplets falling into the world of mortals.

Ye Yongjia hid in the dark part of the pavilion and looked up at the figure. Under the silver moonlight, the brilliance of his body seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, cold and holy.I can only let myself watch quietly from a distance and listen to the resentful sound of the flute.I saw a white-clothed figure Shengxue flying across the sky, with such a demeanor and chic movements, I am afraid that there is only one person in the world...

Xue Wuhen looked at Hua Zhong with a light smile, it seemed better than before after not seeing each other for so many days. "I rushed over as soon as I heard the flute sound, I hope it's not too late!"

Hua Zhong held one end of Xiao, and put the other end on the other hand intentionally or unintentionally, with a playful expression on his face. "You don't even know what I have, so come out of Furong's tent, I'm afraid I will owe you favors again!"

Xue Wuhen smiled, even better than the moonlight, "When I gave you this jade flute, it was not because you could call me when you have something to do. It's good to see you if you have nothing to do. Even if it disturbs my sleep , I am also happy."

Hua Zhong couldn't help but look closely at Xue Wuhen, that stunning face that combined the beauty of mountains and rivers seemed to have more distinct corners.A pair of eyes like a star-studded lake on a plateau shone with stars under the moonlight.There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be slightly sad.

Hua Zhong couldn't help asking, "But is there anything going on outside the palace?"

Xue Wuhen couldn't help but hesitate, and shook his head with a faint smile, "No problem! It's not a big deal, Chong'er doesn't have to worry!"

Hua Zhong sighed slightly, "Sometimes I really don't understand you. Sometimes you are hot and cold, near and far away. Sometimes you are unrestrained and stalking; sometimes you are refined and indifferent, alienated and polite. Do you really think I am having fun? "

Seeing Hua Zhong's bowed head, Xue Wuhen couldn't help smiling, "I've never seen Chong'er so melancholy for me! This trip in recent days is worth it."

Hua Zhong sneered, took out a letter from his wide sleeve, and handed it to Xue Wuhen. "Help me forward this letter to Ning Liuchen, and tell him to come here for a while!"

Xue Wuhen took the letter, and suddenly frowned and looked sideways into the distance, his brows were full of anger and anxiety. "I have something to do today, I will come to see you another day, let's go first!"

Hua Zhong couldn't help but pause in his heart, looking at the back of Xue Wuhen flying away, he couldn't help being a little puzzled...

Yongning Palace.

Empress Han's gorgeous Koudan nails tapped on Yu Ruyi beside her, and there was a trace of solemnity between her brows, "Are you sure the Crown Princess is pregnant?"

Standing in the center of the hall, the tall and beautiful woman nodded.There was a hint of charm between the brows, and it was Ah Qiao who was next to the Crown Princess, "It's absolutely true! This servant heard what the Crown Princess, Concubine Cong and County Lord Gaoyi said with her own ears."

Fuling, who was beside the queen, smiled, moved his eyes closer to Queen Han and said, "Queen, if what Ah Qiao said is true, then it must be true. The Crown Princess and Concubine Cong have always been on good terms with the County Lord Gaoyi, so how could it be so?" How about lying to the two of them?"

Empress Han nodded, "That's true! In this way, wouldn't the crown prince's son be of extraordinary status."

"It's not the first time for the emperor to hold a grandson, not to mention that the crown princess doesn't know whether it's a boy or a girl in her stomach, so don't worry about it!" Fuling comforted.

Empress Han sighed and shook her head, "You don't understand how important heirs are in the royal family! Now the nine children in this palace haven't even gotten married, and the concubine of His Royal Highness is already five years old. Now the concubine is pregnant with a son, let How can I feel at ease!"

Fuling's eyes turned, "A child who makes the empress unable to rest on his pillow is not worthy of staying in this world. The crown princess is still in the womb, so it is inevitable that there will be accidents."

"If that's the case, I will be much more relieved! It's just that the child is innocent after all, how can I have the heart..." Empress Han pretended to be distressed, and hesitated to speak.

Fuling gave Ah Qiao a look.

Ah Qiao hurriedly said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, the empress, the servant girl is very effective at the side of the crown princess, and will definitely do what the empress wishes!"

"County Master Gaoyi is really smart. Only a few days after entering the palace, he seized the power of Concubine Meng's assistant to the sixth palace, and killed the capable people around Concubine Meng. Now Concubine Meng's arrogance is really not what it used to be. Arrogant, but it’s a pity that the centipede is dead but not stiff, after all, Concubine Meng still has Prince Xin, it really gives me a headache just looking at it!” Empress Han’s expression was fierce, “If Concubine Meng and the Crown Princess kill two birds with one stone, then it’s really my palace! Fortunately!"

Ah Qiao leaned over to salute, "Empress, don't worry, how can someone who bothers the Empress live in peace?"

Outside the gate of Xinning Palace, Ah Qiao carefully looked around, then walked out softly.Just now I told Concubine Meng about the private meeting between Concubine Crown Princess and Second Young Master Ning tomorrow night. Concubine Meng and County Lord Gaoyi had a deep grudge, so how could she give up such a good opportunity to suppress?Will go to catch rape.

Ah Qiao couldn't help smiling, her beautiful eyes were full of pride.I have been with the princess for so long, how could I not know her weakness?Coincidentally, I heard their conversation again and learned that the princess was pregnant.Presumably Empress Han and Concubine Meng shot together. Not only is the concubine's pregnancy in danger, but her life is even more worrying!

If the concubine was caught and raped on the spot, wouldn't she have a chance to serve the prince... Ah Qiao was full of excitement, and trotted forward two brisk steps, but accidentally bumped into a man's chest!

"Bold slave! You don't even look when you walk, be careful not to startle your driver!" Eunuch Du reprimanded him sternly.

Ah Qiao didn't expect that she bumped into Eunuch Du. The emperor must be sitting in the sedan chair behind Eunuch Du.Ah Qiao hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Damn my slave! Damn my slave!"

"Du Fuhai..." Chengdi's deep voice came out, "What happened to shouting like this!"

Eunuch Du laughed quickly, "Reporting to the emperor, it was a court lady who bumped into the imperial sedan chair!"

Emperor Cheng opened the sedan chair curtain and saw the exquisite maid kneeling on the ground trembling.I couldn't help but feel a little playful in my heart, "Which palace are you from?"

Ah Qiao bowed her head and replied, "This servant is the maid of the East Palace, Ah Qiao!"

"Lie!" Eunuch Du reprimanded in a low voice, "What are the maids of the East Palace hanging around outside Xinning Palace of Concubine Meng at such a late hour?"

Ah Qiao quickly explained, "This servant did not lie, it's just, just..."

Seeing that there was a trace of weakness and fear in Ah Qiao's voice, Emperor Cheng couldn't help becoming interested, "Just what?"

"It's just that the servants saw the moonlight like water, so they sneaked out to admire the moon, and they came here without knowing it." Ah Qiao hurriedly made up a reason, for fear that the emperor would suspect that she had just entered the Xinning Palace.

Emperor Cheng couldn't help laughing, "The little maid actually knows how to appreciate the moon, which is kind of interesting. Raise your head and let me have a look!"

Ah Qiao was nervous, and slowly raised her head to reveal a slightly charming face.

Emperor Cheng's heart couldn't help but flutter. Under the moonlight, Ah Qiao's apricot eyes were as clear as running water, and there was a charming charm between her eyebrows.Emperor Cheng couldn't help arousing his yearning for youth, "Such a pure but slightly charming appearance reminds me of the Concubine Xian when I was young..."

Eunuch Du naturally knew that the virtuous concubine that Emperor Cheng was talking about was the mother concubine of His Highness Cong Wang, not Princess Qingshi's mother concubine Xian!

Eunuch Du chuckled, "I also look a bit like this, it must be God's will, otherwise how could I meet Miss Ah Qiao here!"

"Yeah!" Emperor Cheng nodded and lowered the sedan chair curtain.The bearer lifted up the sedan chair and continued on. Eunuch Du, with a flattering smile on his face, said to A Qiao who was kneeling on the ground, "Young lady A Qiao is blessed!"

Ah Qiao's expression tightened, her favorite was His Highness the Crown Prince, although the Emperor was more honorable, he was a bit too old.Immediately, he thought, it is not certain whether the crown prince can ascend the throne, even if he ascends the throne, how can he still have a chance when he is already old?There are flowers that can be folded, Ah Qiao can't help showing a deep smile...
