Chapter 604 Killing Heart

Another half an hour passed, and Imperial Physician Chen finally extradited a stillborn baby with golden needles.

Because the body of the fetus is not too big, and because the decoction was drunk in advance.Concubine Yun Gui didn't bleed heavily, her mother's body was finally safe.

Knowing that Concubine Yun Gui had passed the danger, the old emperor finally had a better look on his face, and he told Eunuch Xu wearily: "You just watch here, and when Concubine Yun wakes up, call someone to inform me .”

After speaking, the old emperor was ready to leave.

But as soon as he walked a few steps, he saw that Empress Song and the others just bowed their knees to send them off, and had no intention of leaving, so he turned around and told them: "The empress should also go back to rest, just let Eunuch Xu and the others keep an eye on it, the empress Worked hard today too."

Empress Song had a smile on her face, but she didn't want to leave just like that. She said softly, "Your concubine doesn't work hard. This is what a concubine should do. Now that sister Yun has not woken up, the concubine is still here. Keep it."

The old emperor took a deep look at Empress Song, and said again: "Maybe it's been a long time since I had dinner with the Empress, and it just so happened that I didn't have lunch, so let's go to the Empress's Kunhe Palace to have dinner."

Empress Song obviously didn't expect that the emperor would take the initiative to propose to eat in her palace, a flash of surprise flashed in her heart, but then suspicion arose, the emperor was going to eat at her palace at this time, but because of that bastard thing!

Empress Song felt apprehensive, but she couldn't refuse, she could only smile stiffly and said: "Well, my concubine will let the palace people prepare."

The emperor and empress went to Kunhe Palace together.

When the two arrived, the imperial dining room had already delivered all the dishes.

The emperor and empress sat opposite each other, eating in silence.

Because Empress Song had something on her mind, she ate rather unintelligibly.

The old emperor's appetite was not very good, so he put down his chopsticks after eating some dishes casually.

A table of dishes was barely moved, and was removed by the palace people.

The old emperor drank the hot tea brought by the palace servants, looked at Empress Song meaningfully and said, "The empress has lost weight recently, but her body has not fully recovered yet?"

Empress Song immediately replied with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. The health of my concubine has improved a lot. The imperial doctor said that as long as you take the medicine on time, the nightmares will not recur."

The old emperor nodded slowly, put down the teacup in his hand, and said as if recalling: "I remember that when the queen was young, she was always in good health. When did she have this nightmare..."

He squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I remembered, it was after Qi'er was born, and it was the first time that the queen fell ill before Qi'er was a hundred days old."

Empress Song was sweating a little while holding the teacup. She really didn't want to hear the emperor bring up these old things. She wanted to change the subject, so she immediately said: "The concubine did not sit well during the confinement period, so she fell down. The root of the disease, so, this confinement is too important for women! Sister Yun's delivery is dangerous this time, and this confinement must be good..."

"Women's childbirth is indeed dangerous. I still remember that Concubine Mei died of postpartum hemorrhage..." The old emperor suddenly interrupted Empress Song and said while looking at him.

Empress Song's face turned pale in an instant, and she forced herself not to show any flaws, and said in a difficult tone: "Yes... Sister Mei was so young at that time, it's really a pity..."

"I don't know if it's because I'm getting old. I often dream of Concubine Mei when I dream these days." The old emperor still spoke at a leisurely pace, but the tone was inexplicably sinister to Empress Song. .

Empress Song didn't speak any more.

"I dreamed that she was holding my hand and telling me that she was not giving birth to a monster, but a white and fat baby boy, so that I must find her baby..." The old emperor was still talking, his tone became more and more serious. cold.

Empress Song was already in a cold sweat. She swallowed and wanted to say something, but her hoarse voice seemed unable to make any sound.

"Queen, I seem to have found that child from back then." The old emperor's tone was as cold as ice, staring straight at Queen Song, and said the last sentence.

"Your Majesty..." Empress Song finally uttered two words, her face pale like a ghost, "You buried that child with your own hands, and you ordered people not to say anything about it... "

"So, I was wrong, and now I want to make up for it." The old emperor's tone was light, but with a tone of incompatibility.

A look of gloom flashed in Empress Song's eyes very quickly. Perhaps hatred gave her more courage. She said: "Since Your Majesty has already made a decision, the concubine has nothing to say, but don't forget, Your Majesty, the royal family Heir, don't be confused, if there is not enough evidence, civil and military officials will not agree with your majesty to go your own way."

"Who said that I have no evidence, do you really think that those people were all dead back then?" the old emperor narrowed his eyes, looking at Queen Song very dangerously and asked.

Empress Song's heart skipped a beat, she could barely hold the cup with her fingers, she thought a lot, the woman Wen who gave birth to Concubine Mei back then, and the maids around her are all dead, it is impossible for anyone to return live.

She calmed down a little in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you said. Didn't the palace servants who served Sister Mei have been released from the palace long ago?"

Seeing that Empress Song was still stubborn, the old emperor sneered and said, "Empress, when the ninth younger sister entered the palace, she accidentally fell into the water and died. Do you remember this incident?"

Empress Song's expression finally couldn't hold back anymore. This was the only thing she did in a hurry, but who told her to meddle in her own business? If she hadn't helped that bitch Wanbi escape from the palace, she wouldn't have There will be so many troubles later, if she knows about that, she must die!
"Before Mu Taifei died, she had been investigating the cause of Jiumei's death. She never believed that Jiumei fell into the water by accident. She had already found out the clue, but she suddenly died of a serious illness. I remember that before Mu Taifei died, the queen often went to Talk to her in her palace." The old emperor spoke slowly, his eyes filled with coldness.

Empress Song lowered her head and didn't look at the emperor's expression. Her lips turned white, and she tried her best to say in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, it's not that you don't know that after the death of the first emperor, Concubine Mu's health has been not very good. After the death of the Ninth Princess, the situation has gone from bad to worse. As the master of the harem, the concubine naturally has to care more about the concubine, and the concubine doesn't feel that she has done anything wrong."

"I didn't do anything wrong! The queen really thinks I'm blind and deaf? Queen, I want to save face for you, so I let you tell me yourself!" The emperor threw the teacup heavily on the ground, and there was a coldness in his eyes. Killing intent.
