Chapter 1043 The moment of peace
"aunt!"

Yongle held the little ball-like bulge on his belly, jumping up and down all the way, which really made Axiu tremble.

"Princess, please wait a little longer." Axiu hurriedly stepped forward to support Yongle. No matter how powerful he was in martial arts, he still had to be careful when he was pregnant, not to mention that the princess herself was still half-assed.

"It's okay, aunt. He's quiet and not making trouble at all, unlike some people." Yongle chuckled, looking particularly naughty as he lowered his head and touched his belly.

"Princess." Hearing this, Axiu shook her head helplessly.

She gently supported the princess for a walk in the courtyard, and then whispered: "Princess, there has been some chaos in the capital recently, and the palace may not be safe. You must remember not to run around."

After the Chen family's incident, the trend in the capital began to become strange, and now that two generations - no, it should be said that three generations of leaders of the Chen family have died in assassination, it has made people in the capital even more panic-stricken.

Like most people, Axiu thought that it was the Jin Yiwei who was involved, but the person behind the scenes was the emperor himself in the palace.

In particular, Jin Yiwei didn't even do any honorable work and directly detained Chen Heguang in prison. Within a few days, the other party announced that the other party had died of illness. This was simply a flagrant challenge to the family.

Nowadays, not only the capital city, but also the forbidden palace is also in turmoil. The emperor's harem is full of women from aristocratic families. When the Jin Yiwei attacked the Chen family, the ladies in the palace had quietly divided into two factions: supporting and opposing factions. .

These days, in order to deal with the ladies from various aristocratic families standing behind her, Axiu spent a lot of time and effort.

The princess is worthy of being the biological child of Concubine Meng, and this lack of scheming is also the same. Even if there is a turmoil outside, the mother and daughter remain optimistic. In the end, everything falls on Axiu alone. Sometimes she really feels that she is. I owed them to the Meng family in my previous life.
"By the way, aunt, I saw Concubine Zhao come here today, but her face didn't look very good when she left. Did you have a fight?" Yongle asked curiously.

"It's just a small matter, princess, don't take it to heart." Axiu reached out and tapped Yongle's forehead, not intending to tell him these things.

Behind Concubine Zhao is the Chen family in Yunzhong. Now that Jin Yiwei is fighting desperately, the other party will naturally not be happy. Even the slowest person should realize that Jin Yiwei has gone back on his word, let alone the shrewd Concubine Zhao.

"I'm not a child anymore." Yongle covered his forehead after being touched by Axiu, his expression seemed a little unhappy.

A'Xiu looked at her amusedly and said accommodatingly: "Okay, I understand, the princess will soon be a mother, not a child anymore."

"Auntie!" The princess reluctantly pulled Axiu's arm and acted coquettishly. The other's words immediately made Yongle blush. Even though she had a child in her belly, she still felt this when others teased her about it. shy.

After the fuss, Yongle asked with some embarrassment: "Is there anything urgent that Jinyiwei Yamen is busy with recently? It seems that the consort has not been in the palace for some time."

Axiu sighed in her heart, your consort is currently making trouble in the capital, so there is no time to come to the palace to relax.

But when the words came to her lips and she saw Yongle's little eyes that pretended not to care but were actually looking forward to it, Axiu still couldn't bear to tell the truth. She lowered her eyes slightly and pretended to be joking: "Why, we haven't seen each other for a few days. Our princess misses her husband again?"

Yongle immediately blushed and stamped her feet angrily: "Auntie, it's true! I won't pay attention to you!"

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. Seeing her like this, Axiu felt really uneasy, so she quickly told the palace maids beside her, "You all should follow her, and be careful not to let the princess bump into her."

"Yes." Several palace officials immediately caught up with Princess Yongle and carefully guarded her.

After seeing off this little ancestor, the soft color in Axiu's eyes gradually faded, replaced by cold solemnity. "Someone is coming."

A'Xiu called several capable maids in the imperial concubine's palace and told them: "Please pay more attention to the errands these days. There are constant storms outside. I'm afraid someone in the palace may do something secretly."

"Understood." Several people responded and retreated, leaving only one person to continue following Axiu.

"Is there any news from Your Majesty?" Axiu asked in a low voice.

The maid replied: "No, there are palace servants coming and going from Zixiao Palace in the morning and evening. Everything is the same as usual."

"Where's Cao Yuan?" Axiu asked again.

As the chief eunuch of the inner palace, Cao Yuan would not escape his eyes, and he was the shadow of the emperor. Therefore, as long as the emperor wanted to know about these things in the capital and the palace, he would definitely know them.

Even if the emperor is not interested, Cao Yuan will not miss this good opportunity to apply eye drops.

"Eunuch Cao has been serving in Zixiao Palace. I heard that there has been no one there for half a month."

The palace maid answered truthfully, and at the same time said: "Also, yesterday Eunuch Xia from the Supervisor of Ceremonies sent some gifts. I saw them and found that they were all precious tonics. This shows that they were carefully considered. He wanted to Come and pay homage to the empress.”

"Ha," Axiu sneered: "Cao Yuan didn't give the letter. It seems that Xia Zhang is anxious. That's right. If a person like him doesn't find a way out for himself in advance, he will definitely end up in the future. of."

The palace maid nodded: "Dongchang's power is not weak, the important thing is that we can be more helpful in the palace, then we"

"Don't be anxious," Ah Xiu interrupted: "Xia Zhang can betray Cao Yuan today and sell us in the future. Before the situation is clear, let's hang him up first so as not to alarm the snake and make people think we can't sit still." Living."

"Yes." The palace maid nodded in agreement, then quietly raised her head and glanced at Axiu, as if she was hesitant to speak.

Axiu acted vigorously and resolutely, and she didn't like to see such an expression. She frowned and said, "What else do you have to say?"

"Yes." After hesitating for a moment, the palace maid said, "It's news from outside the palace. Qiu Tongzhi quietly returned to Beijing yesterday. He also asked the slave to send a letter to your aunt."

"Letter?" Ah Xiu was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand to take the letter from the maid. With just one glance, she recognized that the handwriting on the letter was not written by Qiu Qingyun.

A strange light seemed to appear in Axiu's eyes. She opened the letter and read it carefully. Then her expression turned out to be even colder than at first.

The palace maid kept her head lowered, not daring to make any move. After a moment, Axiu saw the energy condensed in Axiu's hand like a sharp blade, and in the blink of an eye she cut the letter into pieces.

"You go back to him, that person and I have nothing to say." Axiu turned around and left after finishing her words. After a while, the harem maid bent down her stiff body, cleaned up the paper scraps on the ground, and then whispered Leave.
