February 20th arrived in a flash. Wei Ning'er's confinement period expired in these two days and she could move around freely in the palace. However, she was more cautious and was still in Yanxi Palace in recent days. Even if the palace door was opened, she never left even half a step

.【 】

Imperial Physician Li did not dare to neglect and asked Yanxi Palace to get a safe pulse for Wei Ning'er early.

"Mr. Li, how is the child in my womb?" Wei Ning'er asked in a low voice after Dr. Li felt her pulse.

"Your Majesty, the little prince in your womb is fine!" Dr. Li said respectfully.

"Thank you, Doctor Li!" Wei Ning'er breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, the fetus is now seven months old. Your Majesty must be extra careful not to move the fetal air, otherwise it will be very easy to give birth prematurely!" Dr. Li warned in a low voice.

When Wei Ning'er heard this, a look of solemnity flashed across her face, and she firmly remembered the imperial doctor's words in her heart.

"Your Majesty, I have to rush to show my eldest brother, but I have to resign!" Dr. Li said respectfully.

"How is elder brother's condition? Is it getting better?" Wei Ning'er asked solemnly.

"I would like to inform you that my eldest brother has been ill for almost three months, with ups and downs. Fortunately, he is in good health and has managed to survive. There has been a slight improvement in the past two days. I will take care of him for a while and he will slowly recover!" Li

The imperial doctor reported in a low voice.

"Go ahead and take care of me!" Wei Ning'er sighed.

"Yes!" Doctor Li then withdrew.

After the eldest brother and the third brother were reprimanded by the emperor in front of the Queen's mourning hall, many people were implicated. Their master, Shuda and others were all reprimanded by the emperor. What was even more frightening was that the emperor also repeatedly stressed that they

The two were not qualified to inherit the throne, which devastated the eldest brother and the third brother.

After all, the third elder brother is younger than the eldest elder brother, so he is a little more relaxed. In addition, there is a pure noble concubine on the side to guide him, so it is not a problem. However, the eldest elder brother has been in trouble since then. At the end of last year, he fell drunk in the Imperial Garden.

Here, I lay on the snow all night and then fell ill.

However, Wei Ning'er felt that he had more of a heart problem, which still needed to be treated with heart medicine. It was a pity that the emperor was not in the palace at this time.

In the past two years, the emperor has neglected the eldest brother. The eldest brother is depressed and often drinks to drown his sorrows. Everyone in the palace knows that.

If she hadn't been pregnant at this time, Wei Ning'er would have wanted to visit him, but unfortunately she didn't want to cause trouble. Her eldest brother's two brothers, Fujin, had a grudge against her, and she didn't want to bring trouble on herself.

In the evening, after Wei Ning'er had dinner, she looked at the sky that was getting dark. Somehow, she thought of her eldest brother again. She called Qingyan in and said with a smile: "Qingyan, go and collect those few things in our warehouse."

Only the best ginseng is sent to the eldest brother!"

"Yes, empress!" Qingyan responded and left.

"Wait a minute, it's dark, and there aren't many people walking around in the palace. Let Xiao Yizi accompany you and hold a lantern to guide you!" Wei Ning'er said with a soft smile.

"Yes, thank you, empress, my servant and Xiao Yizi, go and come back quickly!"

"Why does the empress send you the best ginseng? They may not want it. Even if they don't dare to offend the empress, they will let the servant handle it in private. I think it's okay for the direct descendant Fujin. Fu Jin has always been very kind to the empress."

The prejudice is quite deep, I don’t know how to arrange it when the time comes!" Bingruo felt that she had missed the ginseng in vain.

"What I see is that the eldest brother took good care of me. As for his two Fujins, they have nothing to do with me!" Wei Ning'er laughed in a low voice.

Bingruo didn't dare to say any more and said with a smile: "Mother, it's getting late, so you should rest early. The imperial doctor said, rest more, it will be good for the prince in your belly!"

"You have a prince on the left and an elder brother on your right. According to my opinion, she may be a princess!" Wei Ning'er felt warm all over when she thought of the child in her belly.

"Yes, Madam, if you like my elder brother, then I am elder brother, and if you like a princess, then you are a princess!" Bing Ruo echoed incessantly.

…

Just as the imperial doctor said, the eldest brother's condition has improved slightly, but people still dare not take it lightly. His two blessings have been staying by his side for days, taking care of his food and daily life in every possible way.

"Master, drink this medicine and rest!" Shu Shu held the medicine bowl and wanted to feed him.

"Fujin, your concubine ordered someone to send you a gift!" the young palace maid came into the bedroom and said respectfully.

Mo Yaqi turned around and said softly: "Receive the gift and tell them that I will go see the empress another day!"

"Yes!" the little palace maid responded and stepped back.

"Why does sister need her things? She has no good intentions!" Shu Shu said disapprovingly.

Mo Yaqi saw her eldest brother's expression changed, and whispered softly: "Stop saying a few words, and hurry up and give me medicine!"

"No need!" The eldest brother pushed Shu Shu away coldly.

The anger in Shu Shu's heart rose sharply, and she couldn't help crying: "What's so good about her that you should never forget, she is a person who is going to die..." After saying this, Shu Shu dropped the medicine bowl and ran out.

"Sir, I'm going out to see her. Shu Shu is a little willful, don't take it to heart." Mo Yaqi said and chased her out, fearing that Shu Shu would go to Yanxi Palace to cause trouble.

The eldest brother's slightly pale face was full of impatience: "Go!"

If it weren't for the sake of his son Mian En, he would not have indulged Fu Jin Shu Shu again and again.

He originally wanted to ask the palace maid to heat the medicine before drinking it, but suddenly he remembered Shu Shu's words just now, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Shu Shu just said that Wei Ning'er is going to die? What does this mean? Is it possible that someone wants to harm her?

"Xiao Xiazi, come in and change my clothes!" Thinking of this, the eldest brother immediately called his personal eunuch to come in.

"Brother, where are you going? It's getting dark, and it's cold at night in early spring. You'd better rest and tell the slaves if you have something to do!" Xiao Xiazi was frightened, fearing that he would go out at this moment.

"Needless to say, I have been sick for many days, but I am not dead!" The eldest brother suddenly darkened his face!

"Yes!" Xiao Xiazi didn't dare to offend her master. She just thought that she would wear the thickest cloak to protect her elder brother from the cold later.

At this time, in the Yanxi Palace, Wei Ning'er had just rested, but was not asleep. Bingruo was standing by her bed, and the master and servant were chatting quietly.

"Your Majesty, when the Emperor comes back, you can bring your wife into the palace to accompany you." Bingruo said with a smile.

"Yes, I haven't seen E Niang for a long time. If she knew that I was pregnant, she would be so happy." Wei Ning'er couldn't help but feel a little excited when she said this.

Bingruo was about to answer, but Wei Ning'er frowned slightly and said, "Bingruo, did you notice a strange smell?"

"No, my dear, your nose has become more and more sharp since you became pregnant!" Bingruo couldn't help but joked.

"I'm serious, go and take a look!" Wei Ning'er said with some worry.

"Yes!" Bingruo responded before walking out of the dormitory. A moment later, Wei Ning'er heard Bingruo's scream.

"Mother, please get up quickly. There's a fire. The smell of tung oil is everywhere outside the dormitory. Someone set the fire deliberately!" Bingruo ran in while roaring.

Wei Ning'er got out of bed. She didn't even have time to put on her robe and shoes. She just put on her cloak and walked outside.

The master and servant left the dormitory and hurried out, hoping to call someone to put out the fire. The pungent smell of tung oil was everywhere along the way.

"Your Majesty, the palace door is locked. It was locked from the outside!" Bingruo slapped the palace door and shouted loudly.

Today, Wei Ning'er's confinement period has expired. The guards guarding the palace gate opened the palace door, but a group of ten people did not leave. Instead, they followed the emperor's order and stayed here to protect Wei Ning'er. They originally saw the palace door closed.

An ominous premonition arose in Wei Ning'er's heart. When Bingruo said this, she was so frightened that her legs went weak.

"Mother, we have to find a way to get out, otherwise the fire will start and we will be choked to death. You wait here for me, and I will go see if the back door can be opened!" Bingruo said urgently.

Wei Ning'er grabbed her fiercely: "There's no need to go. Since someone wants me to die, the back door must have been sealed now. Bingruo, don't worry. If the fire wants to burn to the entrance of this palace, it will take a while."

Yes, let’s wait, I see Xiao Yizi and Qingyan should be back, and... the emperor sent Ening and Hu Shijie to protect me secretly, they should find out about the fire in time! "

At this moment, Wei Ning'er had to force herself to calm down. If she was not pregnant, she could still climb out of the palace wall, but now she has no such ability.

The fire was getting stronger and stronger due to the wind. At this moment, the entire palace should have been burned, but it had not yet reached the side hall and the front hall. The master and servant watched helplessly, but there was nothing they could do.

After a while, Wei Ning'er heard the sound of banging on the door.

Bingruo was about to ask, but Wei Ning'er covered her mouth and whispered: "Don't say anything, if it is someone who wants to harm me, it will be terrible. Since they dare to set fire, there will be consequences."

hand!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." At this moment, E Ning's voice came to mind from outside.

"Ening, you knock on the door, I'll go in and take a look!" Hu Shijie shouted, then flew over the palace wall and landed steadily on the ground.

"Brother Wenhao!" Wei Ning'er was overjoyed when she saw it was him, and her heart finally fell.

At this moment, Ening also split the big lock that locked the palace door outside and opened the palace door.

"Your Majesty, there's a fire. Please follow the servants and others to take shelter!" E Ning said respectfully.

Wei Ning'er nodded and went out with them, only to see blood on the ground, and all the guards who were originally guarding outside had their heads disfigured.

"Did you kill them?" Wei Ning'er's face turned slightly pale and she asked in a trembling voice.

"No, the slaves were lurking around according to the emperor's order. When they found the fire and came over, they were already dead!" En Ning immediately reported.

"Take your Majesty to a safe place first, and then ask someone to put out the fire!" Hu Shijie shouted loudly. At this moment, a large group of guards ran over.

"You're here just in time, come and put out the fire!" Ening shouted.
