Chapter 198, Flawless, Concubine Xia
"Concubine Xia, why don't you eat something?" Yuxiao Palace, Concubine Xia's residence.The one called Concubine Xia is the eldest lady of the Gu family, Gu Wuxia.

A few years ago, after she became the emperor's woman, she was made a concubine.But this journey was also extremely difficult. At the beginning, the emperor loved her very much when he was young. In the later period, because of the recommendation of the ministers, the queen mother deliberately suppressed her.

There are more women around the emperor.First, Taishi Pang sent the granddaughter who was four years older than the emperor to the palace, and then the queen mother called the daughter of the collateral line into the palace.Although the emperor refused at first, he still couldn't resist the empress dowager's pressure and the undercurrent between him and the court.

I have no choice but to let nature take its course.It's just that in these years, there has been no queen.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, "Your Majesty, are you going to the concubine's place over there tonight?" The old man beside the emperor is still Eunuch Chen. Five years have passed, and he is still serving him. The emperor insisted on keeping him.The queen mother thought she was just an old man, so forget it, just keep it.

"." Eunuch Chen didn't get a response from the emperor, so he quietly raised his eyes to look at him.Sigh in my heart.The emperor is not good at women, and he is busy with state affairs at a young age.

The chaos five years ago has continued to the present, and it seems to be calm, but in fact, the dark tide is turbulent.Prince Xiao is someone who I wouldn't do anything unless someone came looking for me.In the past few years, neither Grand Master Pang nor Prime Minister Xiao have been competing with each other.

Watching the emperor grow up, he already has his own ideas and judgments, so there is no need for their assistance in the prison.

Prime Minister Xiao retired to the second line because of his advanced age. He has no sons under his knees, and his daughter has already been married. If there was a successor, he selected a man with the best figure, knowledge and appearance from the distant relatives, and took him back to the prime minister's mansion as his adopted son.

He also specially asked for a title from the emperor.The emperor was grateful that the old prime minister had no children and grandchildren, so he bestowed the Shizi Mansion.It means that even if he can't inherit the position of prime minister, he can enjoy the splendor and wealth with the title of Spyker.

Concubine Xia, also known as Gu Wuxia, slowly sat up with the help of the maid. She suffered from a cold a few days ago and has never recovered.Unexpectedly, he coughed as soon as he moved.

"Cough cough."

"Concubine Xia, what's the matter?" The maids immediately panicked.An old nun pushed the maid next to her, "Go get the imperial physician." A maid stumbled and ran out.

"You don't have to panic, it's fine."

It was too late for her to stop.

"Concubine Xia, you can't be sick. If His Majesty finds out, you will blame your servants." The little maid knelt on the ground in a panic.

Originally, Concubine Xia was not feeling well these few days, and they wanted to ask the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, but Concubine Xia stopped them.Said to be afraid of drinking bitter medicine, afraid of pain.

I'm afraid I can't escape today, Gu Wuxia frowned.At this time, the father-in-law next to the emperor came to the door, "Concubine Xia, the villain is here to report to you at His Majesty's will. Your Majesty will invite you to have a meal with me at the Hall of Supreme Harmony tonight." It was Eunuch Li who was next to His Majesty who spoke.

Gu Wuxia was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm not feeling well, please go back and send a message. Concubine Xia is grateful for His Majesty Long's kindness. It is really difficult to keep the appointment. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." The people outside the door left and sat down. Gu Wuxia at the bedside was slightly absent-minded.

Soon, the imperial doctor came, "My lady, the imperial doctor is here." After taking the pulse, the imperial doctor knelt on the ground with a smile, "Congratulations, Empress Xia, you are happy." What?
"Really? That's great." The maids danced happily, but Gu Wuxia was a little depressed.If the Queen Mother finds out——
In fact, she herself had noticed it a long time ago. Her menstruation has always been very accurate, but it has been delayed in the past two months. Originally, she also wanted to see the imperial doctor, but she was afraid that it would be dangerous if the queen mother found out, so she kept going. endure.

It's been five years, and I still remember that five years ago, she was favored by the emperor for the first time. At that time, both she and the emperor were still very jerky, and His Majesty, who had just grown up, was tender and tender.She was the emperor's first daughter, and she was favored by the emperor in the later period.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and in the second year, Grand Master Pang was anxious to send his own daughter to the palace, and the queen mother couldn't wait to let the emperor become a queen, and even brought her clansmen to the palace.

Gu Wuxia couldn't help being annoyed, why did he call her into the palace in the first place?It's just that she is afraid that she will be promoted if she spoils her too much.Fortunately, the emperor was a lover, and because of his affection for serving her in the past, he made her a concubine first after other people entered the palace.

A title was given according to her name: Concubine Xia, second only to the queen.This way, others have a better chance.

Who doesn't want the queen's throne?

She had been lost and hurt, but she thought that the emperor had treated her very well, so he pushed her up against all odds.

After all, her natal family is just the Hou's Mansion, and it's still a nominal Hou's Mansion.Can be a female official but not necessarily a queen.

After two months without a month, Gu Wuxia had a premonition, and originally wanted to go out of the palace to find Gu Wushuang.But there has been no reason.Anxious in my heart, I thought about it day and night and accidentally caught a cold.It's all right now, I can't hide it.

Forget it, let them tell His Majesty that if His Majesty is still interested in her, he will definitely come to visit her. At that time, she will ask His Majesty to let her go home for a while.Although that was unreasonable, she still wanted to try.

Sure enough, the young emperor arrived at dusk.

"The Emperor is here."

"Join Your Majesty."

"Get up, how is Concubine Xia?" The emperor is in his twenties this year, and it is the best time when he is young and middle-aged, with an outstanding demeanor. Gu Wuxia is three years older than the emperor, and her fair skin and beauty are her natural beauty.

"Concubine Xia."

"Your Majesty, I have seen—"

"Hey, you don't need to salute. I heard that the imperial doctor said that you are sick, so I don't feel relieved to come and see." Seeing that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight, the emperor's eyes flashed with distress, but he soon returned to normal.

"The concubine just feels the cold occasionally, which worries His Majesty."

"." The emperor looked at her deeply, did not speak, frowned and looked around the Hall of Concubine Xia.It was deserted and clear inside, and there were not many palace people.

"You guys go down and pass on the dinner, I want to have dinner with Concubine Xia." So the palace people retreated one by one.Only the emperor and Gu Wuxia were left in the room.Feeling the emperor's gaze, Gu Wuxia looked up at him in a daze.

He saw his thick eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and a pair of narrow eyes stared straight at her. At the age of 20, he is no longer that immature emperor, but a tall, tall, handsome son.Gu Wuxia watched his heart beating slightly.

Undoubtedly, the emperor is good-looking.

The genes of the Xiao family are indeed the best in the world.

"Did you not eat well?" The emperor said and sat down beside her bed.

There was a slight harshness in the tone.

"Concubine -- I don't have much appetite." Did the emperor know about the imperial physician's diagnosis and treatment just now?He shouldn't be hiding anything, otherwise he wouldn't have come, but he didn't seem very happy.

Could it be that she didn't like her having his child?The sudden thought made her a little depressed.

This is not her first child, as early as two years ago, she had one.It's just that she was secretly tampered with by the queen mother that time, causing her to miscarry, and the root cause of the disease has remained since then.

If she hadn't received Gu Wushuang's secret medical treatment later, she wouldn't have recovered so easily.

This pregnancy was also a surprise.

The emperor seemed a little cautious when he saw her, and there was a trace of pain in his heart.She is afraid!He is not afraid.

"Concubine Xia, I have already ordered the imperial physician to keep silent, and I have already passed on the order. Don't worry." After struggling to say a few words, the emperor's eyes looked at her tightly, as if he couldn't see enough.

Gu Wuxia raised her head in surprise, and met his fiery gaze.Your Majesty reassures her—what does that mean?Is he going to protect her mother and child?
At this moment, Gu Wuxia seemed to see a trace of affectionate gaze in the emperor's eyes.My heart was shocked, and tears couldn't help falling down.

"Your Majesty—" It turned out that his heart was the same as hers.

Holding her hand, the emperor resolutely said: "Don't worry, this time, I will not hurt our flesh and blood, nor will I hurt Concubine Xia." The emperor blamed himself for what happened back then for a long time, If it wasn't for knowing that Princess Xiao came to heal Concubine Xia's body later.

He had already made a ruthless move to make the empress dowager look good.

"Your Majesty--" Gu Wuxia couldn't bear it any longer and began to cry. He had been cautiously depressed for a while, and finally broke out.

Throwing herself into his arms, the emperor embraced her deeply and inhaled her fragrance vigorously. This is the person on the tip of his heart.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has an unfeeling request." The emperor gently let her go, and gently wiped the tears off her face.

"You want to go home?" Gu Wuxia nodded with tears in her eyes.The emperor understood her thoughts, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "You have to wait for two days, and then I will personally send you to Prince Xiao's mansion." Gu Wuxia immediately understood what the emperor meant.The heart is excited, the emperor agreed.And he also wants to go with her in person, so he must find a reason.

"Okay, my concubine will wait for His Majesty for two days."

"Do you believe me?" The emperor seemed to want to gain her trust from her words, Gu Wuxia smiled when he heard his warm words.

Shen Yuluoyan's appearance was even more pitiful, and her smile made him intoxicated.

"Concubine, I believe His Majesty can do it. I never blamed Your Majesty before."

"Concubine Xia, I'm sorry for you." The emperor hugged her again as he spoke, his eyes were red.Thinking of the innocent death of their first child, he hated it.Everyone says that the poison of a tiger does not eat its children.But his queen mother was so mad that she even wanted to kill her own grandson.

Since she doesn't care about full blood, why should he ignore human relations with her?
If you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous.

The two years of forbearance and alienation are enough.The woman in his arms is his beloved, and no one can stop him.He is no longer that little boy who is slaughtered by others.Now he is the supreme ruler of the Yuxiao Dynasty.

All the people in the world will bow their heads to him, and with the help of the emperor's uncle and the Feng family's army to settle all the wars for him, what else does he have to worry about?
It's time for the Xiao family to wake up too.

"What did you say?" The Empress Dowager's bedroom was smoky, and in the white smoke, the Empress Dowager Xiao was dressed in a beautiful dress with a graceful figure, charming eyes, and exquisite makeup, sitting on the soft couch.

Beside her is still the man who looks exactly like Prince Xiao, but there is another boy who is younger than this man, at first glance, he looks so much like Shen Muqing.

"Empress Dowager, this servant heard it clearly. The imperial doctor said that Concubine Xia is pregnant, and it has been two months."

Xiao Feng squinted his eyes and exhaled a puff of white smoke.

"I didn't expect that I was pregnant with her again? Last time those medicines were not strong enough, go to Concubine Xian and find them for me." The Concubine Xian that Empress Dowager Xiao spoke of was the concubine of her Xiao family who was sent to the palace.

After two years in the palace, she was promoted to the imperial concubine's throne, and she was actually on an equal footing with Gu Wuxia.

"You bastard." Originally thought that Gu Wuxia's stomach would never give birth again.That's why she didn't stop the emperor and let him pamper that little bitch.Unexpectedly, the lucky one gave her another chance.

On the contrary, that useless concubine Xian has not moved until now, feeling that her medicinal materials are all in vain, useless things.

Back then, she was pregnant with the dragon species in the second month after the emperor favored her.

The bottom of my heart was extremely proud, and a flash of remembrance of the past flashed in my eyes.

She did this simply because she wanted the emperor's first child to come from the Xiao family line, so that their Xiao family could continue.To be able to ascend the throne of the queen, and to make the child the crown prince, according to Mr. Xiao's intention, the Xiao family must be continued continuously.It cannot be broken in her lifetime.

The candidate for the queen must be from the Xiao family, that's why what happened two years ago happened.Although, it's a pity for her, otherwise she would have a grandson or granddaughter now.

Alas, it's very boring in this palace, although it's both right and left, it lacks some lively fun.Throughout the day, she was a little tired of playing with these silent things.

"Okay, you guys go down first! The Ai family still has business to do."

The two men bowed their heads silently and retreated.

Although she is well-behaved and obedient, once the days go by, it will be boring.

Good-looking skins are the same, and only interesting souls can know and cherish each other.

Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly felt a little melancholy, and the gentle face of the former emperor could not help appearing in her mind.

"Your Majesty, even the concubines can't remember your appearance."

"Concubine Xian is here!"

The Empress Dowager woke up from her trance, surprised how could she think of the former emperor for no reason?Could it be that he smoked too much?Delirious.

"My daughter-in-law kowtows to the Empress Dowager for a thousand years."

Concubine Xian is a lady of a great family who is elegant and intelligent, and she is always a descendant, but she is also a member of the Xiao family.She has a handsome appearance, a cowardly personality, and a submissive attitude. She is not at all as arrogant and domineering as Queen Mother Xiao was when she was young.

"Concubine Xian, come here, let Ai's family take a look!" The queen mother waved from inside the screen, Concubine Xian hesitated, "What are you still doing in a daze? Waiting for Ai's family to go out?" Hearing this, Concubine Xian walked in quickly.With a low eyebrow, he found that there was no one else inside, and he was relieved from the bottom of his heart.

The queen mother has always been extravagant for the rest of her life, and the number of male relatives has continued unabated. As the emperor's concubine, they always feel that it is inappropriate.But helpless dare not speak.

Seeing her bowing her head timidly, Empress Dowager Xiao became very angry.

"You are useless, will Aijia eat you?"

Concubine Xian immediately plopped down and knelt down.

"The empress dowager calm down, my daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law is ignorant, please teach the empress dowager."

"Teaching! Hmph, Aijia really wants to teach you well."

As night came and the lights came on, Concubine Xian came out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom, and the sky was covered with bamboo hats.

The palace servants were leading the way with lanterns, and the concubine Xian's beautiful face was slightly frustrated.What the queen mother said just now made her shudder.But helpless.

In the middle of the night, there was a shrill scream in the Empress Dowager's bedroom.Then came the uproar of bright lights.

"Queen, what's the matter with you?"

"The first emperor, Your Majesty, please forgive Aijia!" Empress Dowager Xiao cried and trembled.With disheveled hair and messy makeup, it turned out to be a nightmare.

 Speed ​​up the fast and the furious, end in early August
