Chapter 82(1/2)
Concubine Xia held her waist and squinted her eyes: "Chu Shanggong is here to report to the queen, why do you look embarrassed?"
The palace queen, who was in the upper head, sneered on the corner of her mouth, leaned against the soft collapse, and was lazy. She slapped the phoenix hairpin between her fingertips from time to time, and said carelessly; "I am the Lord of the Six Palaces, the mother of the Six Palaces, and Isn't it normal for Chu Shang Palace to come to find me?"
"Why should the Empress be so serious? I just asked casually." Concubine Xia reached out and touched her lower abdomen and said to Chu Yunning: "Chu Shanggong, let me see my pulse."
Chu Yunning stepped forward as he said, exploring his veins with his fingertips.
Concubine Xia suffered a loss once. In addition to being arrogant and domineering in front of the queen, she is still very careful in private and is very careful in food and drink, for fear of being at least good.
"When I saw the concubine's birth, I remembered the concubine's birth. It's such a pity. A good eldest son disappeared like this."
When Queen Gong thought that Guiren Li had lost her child, she became crazy and felt happy, and even wanted Concubine Xia to lose her child.
Concubine Xia turned a deaf ear and pretended not to hear it.
"Concubine Xia, you must take good care of the Dragon Heir and not make any mistakes."
After hearing too much, Concubine Xia couldn't help but fight back: "The Empress has never been a mother, so she must not experience the hardship of pregnancy. The Emperor's son is too lively. I am very bored in the palace alone. When I come out to stroll around, I feel comfortable."
This made Queen Gong's face change, and Yin was a little unhappy. According to the rules, the eldest son of the emperor should have come out of her belly. Unfortunately, he has taken countless prescriptions over the years, but it is useless.
"The Empress is relieved. You cannot force this childbirth. Before the time comes, some people will never have a man or a woman in their pursuit."
Concubine Xia was very straightforward. Queen Gong's face changed drastically when she opened her mouth. She kept her breath in her heart and couldn't dissipate for a long time.
"Chu Shanggong, what is the fetus of Concubine Xia?" The Empress of the Palace wanted Concubine Xia to leave quickly, and it was annoying to look at it in front of her.
Chu Yunning hasn't seen enough of the two quarrels. At present, it seems that Empress Gong has almost no power to fight back against Concubine Xia. It's different to have a royal heir. She can be unscrupulous. Unfortunately, Concubine Li is too inflated and didn't realize this, otherwise her whole life would be too satisfying!
"The Imperial Concubine's fetus..." The pulse that poked out from Chu Yunning's fingertips was a little strange, as if it was as breathless as the veins of Concubine Li, was very similar to the pulse of Concubine Li, and was not as stable as it was on the surface.
Concubine Xia raised her eyebrows: "How?"
"Maybe it's because the weather is too hot, so the concubine pays more attention to rest."
"Chu Shanggong studied medicine halfway through, so he didn't see the symptoms of the imperial concubine. This is the emperor's eldest son, the emperor's only descendant at present. If something goes wrong, your head will not be saved."
The Empress of the Palace gloated and wished both of them were in trouble.
"Empress, the imperial concubine's pregnancy is really hard, and I can't hear any upset words. If you stimulate the imperial concubine again and get angry, I am worried that the emperor will blame you when asked." Chu Yunning withdrew his fingertips and took a step back.
"When Chu Shanggong said this, I really felt that after coming to Fengyi Palace, I felt so depressed. It turned out that I was angry with the queen." Concubine Xia pretended to be uncomfortable and covered her heart. The queen was so angry that she was very unhappy: "
Chu Yunning, don’t exaggerate this!”
"I tell the truth and dare not deceive me." Chu Yunning pretended to be innocent.
Queen Gong was too lazy to watch the two of them sing and sang together, so she rubbed her eyebrows and waved her hands at them: "Let them all go back, I'm upset when I see them."
The two left Fengyi Palace together. Chu Yunning lowered his eyes and listened to the footsteps in his ears getting closer. Concubine Xia leaned in her ear and asked: "Chu Shanggong, what is the problem with the fetus of this palace?"
"Why did the imperial concubine ask this? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Chu Yunning asked in confusion.
Concubine Xia stared at Chu Yunning's expression and tried to detect something. After watching for a long time, she couldn't see anything. She said in a deep voice: "Chu Shanggong, we have all the past things. If this child is born safely and soundly, I will definitely regard you as my benefactor and will support you in the future. If something goes wrong, I will not let you go even if I die."
"The concubine is in good health, and the little prince will not be able to do anything."
After saying that, Concubine Xia got into the sedan chair and left.
Chu Yunning felt like a straw was pressed down on her heart, and then an unknown anger spread from the bottom of her heart. The dog emperor knew that the concubine Xia was different in her fetus, but he promised her various benefits and deliberately put a trap on her.
Keep a p-pan!
If this continues, can you leave the palace in the year of the monkey and horses in the month?
The more I thought about it, the more angry he became, so Chu Yunning went directly to find Emperor Mingwen.
Eunuch Mo saw Chu Yunning coming from afar. He was so scared that he was shocked and came forward and smiled, "Who is annoying Lord Chu, why are you so angry?"
"Where is the emperor?"
"The emperor is meeting several ministers, so he is busy."
Chu Yunning took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "No hurry, I'm waiting here."
Eunuch Mo, who was as savage, immediately knew that Chu Yunning was here to settle the score with Emperor Mingwen, so he found a reason to appease the person and quietly let the eunuch go in and report the news.
"Mr. Chu is here?" Emperor Mingwen slowly drank tea, and then heard that Chu Yunning was full of anger. After seeing Concubine Xia, he immediately guessed something and put down the teacup.
The jade-like fingertips picked up a memorial and looked it slowly. There was a faint smile on the corner of my mouth, as if I was in a good mood.
After one hour
"Where is Lord Chu?"
"Go back to the emperor, Lord Chu is still outside the hall."
Another hour passed
"Have you left yet?"
The little eunuch shook his head.
As the evening approached, Emperor Mingwen finished reading all the memorials, looked at the sky as it was getting darker, and rubbed his sore arms: "Is it still there?"
"Go back to the emperor, the man is still there."
Emperor Mingwen touched the tip of his nose. It seemed that Chu Yunning would not leave easily if he didn't see anyone today, so he compromised.
"Prince!"
After a while, Chu Yunning walked in with a calm look on his face. In fact, his anger had reached its peak and he was pressed down and he did not vent.
"The emperor is in peace."
Emperor Mingwen raised his hand from a distance and asked uninformedly: "I heard that Chu Shanggong had been waiting for me for an afternoon. What is it that is worth Chu Shanggong being so patient?"
He clenched the word "patient" and seemed to be mocking.
Chu Yunning took a deep breath: "Did the emperor have known that Concubine Xia has a different fetus?"
The smile on Emperor Mingwen's face suddenly subsided, and his momentum was cold. The emperor's anger came in an instant, making the people present lighter their breathing, fearing that they would be affected.
"How can Concubine Xia have different fetus? Maybe it's safe?"
"The concubine Xia's fetus is like Guiren Li. She was caused by taking unknown medicines and could be kept for up to seven months. At that time, the mother and son can only choose one person to survive."
According to the royal rules, it is necessary to abandon the big and protect the small.
"Can both of you be safe?"
Chu Yunning shook her head. She was really powerless. Concubine Xia's fetus grew bigger and bigger, and the uterine wall became thinner and thinner. When it grew to a certain extent, it would cause heavy bleeding. At that time, she could only choose one of two. Either let the child get rid of it in advance, or cut open Concubine Xia's belly and remove the child.
Unless in modern times, the child is cut out in advance and placed in a sterile room, the environment now does not meet the requirements.
"Does the emperor want to protect the big or the small?"
Although the question was cruel, if you don’t make a decision in time, it is very likely that neither of them would be able to save them. One was the concubine who had been spoiled for many years, and the other was the prince who urgently needed to block Youyou’s mouth. Chu Yunning suddenly felt that Emperor Mingwen was as selfish as King Xiao in some aspects. Although he had spoiled Concubine Xia for many years, he might not be sincere!
Emperor Mingwen suddenly said, "Forget it, give the imperial concubine the medicine."
Chu Yunning suspected that he had heard it wrong, so he looked up in disbelief, believing that he had heard it wrongly just now, Emperor Mingwen actually wanted to protect the Imperial Concubine Xia!
"What, is it that in your eyes that I am a selfish, ruthless villain?" Emperor Mingwen asked with a sneer.
If Concubine Xia’s child is forcibly protected and abandoned the adults, she is confident that she can let the child come out alive, but Concubine Xia will undoubtedly die.
"I dare not." Chu Yunning refuted what he thought just now. If it were King Xiao, he would definitely save the child without hesitation, sacrifice the adults, and finally pretend to be affectionate and guilty, and then do something that touches oneself.
"Next month, a flower viewing banquet will be held in the palace. I will give it to you. At that time, many imperial concubines will be invited to come. I can pardon you for one day's death."
Chu Yunning's eyelids twitched: "You can do anything?"
Emperor Mingwen looked at her with a dark look, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This smile made Chu Yunning's heart beat fast.
That's a hell.
"Um!"
After receiving a positive answer, Chu Yunning kowtowed to Emperor Mingwen: "Thank you for your fulfillment."
Chu Yunning was angry when he came, and smiled on his face when he left, which made Eunuch Mo stunned.
He stepped forward and said hello, and Chu Yunning smiled back.
The flower-welfare was the happy day when King Xiao married Li Shanshan as his concubine. Emperor Mingwen handed over everything to the Empress of the Palace. The Empress of the Palace specially sent Chu Yunning to send a large reward on the same day.
The Interior Office dressed up the Xiao Wang Mansion as if the New Year was about to be celebrated, and it was a festive place with many guests coming and going.
The crowd was strikingly eye-catching. The red suit was very festive, making him more handsome, holding the red silk in his hand.
King Xiao looked up and saw Chu Yunning, his eyebrows relaxed, and he walked towards her.
The groom's every move was very eye-catching, so Chu Yunning quickly became the focus. She wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in, thinking silently in her heart, don't come over, don't come over!
"That's not the ex-Princess Xiao, why did she come?"
"Can't it be that he is unwilling to make trouble?"
The guests who came to watch the ceremony whispered privately and stared at Chu Yunning from time to time.
Chu Yunning couldn't help rolling his eyes. He really wanted to slap King Xiao to make him sober. Seeing King Xiao get closer and closer, Chu Yunning held the reward from the Palace Queen in his hand, and a pair of jade Ruyi said: "
Congratulations to Prince Xiao on his wedding. This is the jade Ruyi given to the two newcomers by the Empress. I wish the two newcomers good luck."
