Big Moon Ballad

"It's okay," Miss Yao smiled, "The queen hasn't lost her temper these days, and she's been sleeping most of the time."

go to bed?

Li Ji's heart tightened. The child in Yelujing's womb was not an ordinary child. Yelujing became lethargic in this month of pregnancy, indicating that the baby was consuming a lot of energy in the mother's body.

Is the child about to be born?
"Mr. Zhaohua, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Li Ji lost his mind, Ms. Yao asked anxiously.

"It's nothing," Li Ji came back to his senses and shook his head in relief.He knew that the people in the queen's bedroom had been tormented enough these days, and he didn't want to add to the psychological burden on Miss Yao.

"Oh," Ms. Yao nodded, thinking that Li Ji was worrying about other things, "Mr. Zhaohua, what were you talking about when I just came in? Why?"

Lady Yao sat down beside Li Ji.

During these days of getting along, she has developed an intimacy with Li Ji.Because the number of guards on patrol increased and Ying Hanri was moody, Lou Xiaolou was so busy that he didn't have a chance to meet her.In this dangerous deep palace, only by Li Ji's side can he feel safe.

When she was with Ying Baoyue before, she felt that Li Ji was a good young man who could be trusted and relied on, but his temper was a bit cold.After getting along with each other these days, she found that Li Ji is actually a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, and he is a rare and considerate person.

At her age, she doesn't have any unreasonable thoughts about Li Ji. He is about the same age as her brother in her hometown, so she treats him as a relative.Seeing Li Ji's confused face, she wanted to share his worries.

Li Ji didn't keep it secret because the other party was just an ordinary court lady, and simply said that he didn't understand why Ying Han would frequently call Ying Xun into the palace.

"Why did you call Hejian King into the palace..."

Lady Yao was stunned for a moment, and she didn't quite understand what was going on in the hall, but since it was Li Ji who asked the question on her own initiative, she had no choice but to answer, and after racking her brains for a while, she opened her mouth blankly.

"Maybe, just want to meet relatives?"

relatives?

Li Ji was stunned for a moment.

He thought about countless possibilities, but he didn't think about this possibility alone.

"Sorry, I'm just an ignorant woman, did I say something wrong?" Seeing Li Ji in a daze, Lady Yao hurriedly said, embarrassed, "Is the matter in the court not that simple? Don't listen to my nonsense. .”

Isn't it that simple?

Li Ji fell silent.The Wang family has no father and son, let alone brothers. Ms. Yao's idea is of course naive, but it also provides a brand new idea.

His adoptive father, Dongfang Yi, once taught him that if there is something that he can't find the answer to, then the most outrageous one may be the answer.

Li Ji became interested in Miss Yao's thoughts, "Why do you think His Majesty King Qin summoned King Hejian because he wanted to see his brother? Everyone in the palace should know that King Qin always wanted to kill this brother before, right?"

Ms. Yao nodded. The discord between Ying Hanri and Ying Xun was not a secret. It was known to all women and children in the Hou Qin Dynasty.

"But it's different now," she sighed. "His Majesty the former emperor passed away, and His Royal Highness Princess got married. The only relatives left by His Majesty are His Royal Highness the County King."

This is indeed a fact, the direct bloodlines of the royal family of the Ying family are scarce, and there are not many people left in the fifth server.It stands to reason that even if Emperor Taizu had only two sons, the number of members of the royal family would not be so rare, but the status quo of the Ying family was created by Emperor Ying.

As the eldest son of Qin, Emperor Ying originally had seven or eight younger brothers, but four of them died before he ascended the throne, and two more died when he ascended the throne. When Ying Su was ten years old, The Great Qin ruled the world, and there was no one left of Emperor Ying's brothers.

Some of these brothers died of illness, some died in battle, and most of their descendants died young. Those who died in battle hardly lived to adulthood. Lord, there are not many people in the clan.

As for the descendants of Emperor Ying's father's brothers, they have been passed down to this generation, and they can't get involved in any royal affairs.

Apart from Ying Xun, Ying Hanri really doesn't have any other brothers of the same age.

But would someone like Ying Hanri really value family affection so much?
"It wouldn't have happened in the past," Lady Yao shrugged after hearing Li Ji's question, "But doesn't it mean that His Majesty is not in good health these days? When people are weak, they always want their relatives to be by their side. "

Weak?
Li Ji fell into deep thought.He believed that Ying Hanri was not in good health. After all, Yelujing had been lying in ambush by his side for so many days, so it was impossible to say that Ying Hanri hadn't been given some chronic poison.

According to Yun Zhongjun and Yelujing's plan, when the child in their womb is born, they will definitely try to kill Ying Hanri.It's just that Ying Hanri is the king of a country, and his sudden sudden death is too suspicious, so they should poison him, let him slowly weaken and die.

Calculating the time, Ying Hanri will almost be "seriously ill".

These days, Ying Han didn't see his ministers staying behind closed doors. It was probably because he was too ill to see foreign ministers at all. Once the news of the king's terminal illness came out, the government and the public would definitely be shaken.

and many more.

Li Ji suddenly shuddered, how sick is Ying Hanri?Will Yun Zhongjun do something more terrible to him?
Yun Zhongjun had tried to control the King of the Northern Wei Dynasty with Gu poison before, it is hard to say whether he will give Ying Hanri a more terrible end than death this time.

After all, what is more terrifying than the dead is the living dead.

Although Ying Hanri's death is not a pity, there are many innocent people around him, especially Ying Xun has been so close to him during this time, it is hard not to be contaminated.

If I remember correctly, Ying Baoyue still has a deep affection for this cousin.

But the real relationship between them may not be just cousins.

Li Ji still remembers the scene where Ying Xun chose to lose to Ying Baoyue in the primary ceremony.

At that time, he still knew nothing about the relationship between the two of them.

This was the first time in these days that Li Ji took the initiative to think of Ying Baoyue, and his heart ached slightly.

But only once.

Although he never took the initiative to think of her, he saw her in his dreams every night.

But it's useless to mention these now, the immediate matter is more important.

"No, I have to go and see," Li Ji murmured.

"What are you looking at?" Lady Yao asked in a daze, "Mr. Zhaohua, where are you going?"

Li Ji shook his head, "It's nothing, just talking to myself."

Ying Hanri's bedroom is a more dangerous place than Yelujing's bedroom, and he doesn't want others to worry about him anymore.

Ms. Yao sighed in her heart, knowing that Li Ji didn't want to talk, she didn't press the question, and picked up the topic just now.

"By the way, speaking of relatives, I have never heard you mention your family members. Are they all in Soochow?"
