Chapter 648 Mysterious Note
Li Beichen was shocked when he heard about "conspirator". A pair of striking triangular eyes, as sharp and domineering as a tiger. These three words were the feeling that Monk Daoyan gave him.

He touched his chin and said jokingly, "I just said it casually, don't take it seriously. Come on, let's play the next game first. Let's see how you beat the old master to death with random punches. Do you want me to give you three sons?" ?”

A rare state of relaxation.

Jiang Yuebai naturally felt the change in Li Beichen's state, and he became cheerful: "Okay. I am just trying to speak quickly, how can I beat the emperor?"

The emperor let his three sons win over the emperor in this way, so he wouldn't be too embarrassed.

After all, she said she didn't want it, but in her heart she wanted to meet the famous demon monk Daoyan in history.

In fact, the emperor played chess with Dao Yan for the first time, and Su Su got the news and reported it to her the next day.

She was secretly surprised. Because Monk Daoyan really existed in history.

He was clearly a monk and should have been indifferent to fame and fortune, but he was involved in killing throughout his life. He was the main strategist during Zhu Di's rebellion and enthronement.

In this parallel time and space, there is no Zhu family dynasty, and Zhu Di does not appear. What kind of life did a person like Monk Daoyan, who was very important to the historical process, experience? Now that we have arrived at the palace, what impact will it have on history?

She watched secretly, waiting for the emperor to come to her to play chess, and then induced the emperor to let her see Dao Yan.

In order to avoid being suspected by the emperor, Daoyan's appearance was a conspiracy planned by her.

After all, Dao Yan was ambitious and enthusiastic about rebellion; it happened that this conspirator was from the same hometown as her in Suzhou, and the time and place of his appearance were so coincidental.

All these coincidences combined together made it impossible for the emperor not to be suspicious.

She had a hunch that Daoyan's appearance might be related to the fate of the country, and then it was related to herself. After all, she is the one who wants to be the queen.

Amid such curiosity, Jiang Yuebai controlled the rhythm well and narrowly defeated the emperor in repeated battles.

She learned chess from AI, using modern algorithm-based routines, combined with Han Ziqian's classical Go teaching, and her own understanding to create a very weird chess style.

Li Beichen, on the other hand, learned Go after traveling through a book and only knew ancient routines. She immediately realized that Jiang Yuebai had either learned Go before time travel, or her Gongdou System taught her to learn Go.

This may be a breakthrough for testing.

"Who did you learn Go from? Why is it so weird like Dao Yan? I have never seen it before."

Jiang Yuebai showed a look of embarrassment, "What's wrong with your Majesty? Master Han taught me, but I didn't learn it. I borrowed a lot of chess records from the library to read, and I pondered them when I had nothing to do. Here, those are the ones."

Jiang Yuebai pointed at the books on the bookshelf and asked with an aggrieved look,

"Your Majesty, you won't blame me, right?"

Li Beichen took Jiang Yuebai's hand and said dotingly, "I like it very much. The road is very wild. If I don't give in, can you beat me?"

Jiang Yuebai thought for a while, "I'm afraid I can't win against the emperor, but maybe I can win against the great monk Daoyan."

"Why?" Li Beichen was confused.

Jiang Yuebai smiled and replied, "I have the emperor as my backing. Naturally, the brave will win."

Li Beichen thought to himself, you make it up, you make it up, you keep making it up for me. Wait until the day of the showdown to see if you are embarrassed or not.

Turning around, he picked up the drawing of the cannon, spread it out for Jiang Yuebai to see, and asked tentatively, "Did you draw the cannon in this drawing?"

Jiang Yuebai shook his head, "No."

She found this drawing from the Wanjie Internet and it was drawn by Han Ziqian. So it's not a lie.

Li Beichen asked again, "Then do you understand?"

Jiang Yuebai still shook his head. She really couldn't understand the design drawings of this cannon.

Li Beichen's face was expressionless, hiding his inner nervousness, stroking the injured Mo Yu ring finger, "I heard that the grenade and explosive pack were designed by you?"

"Yes." Jiang Yuebai nodded solemnly this time.

After Li Beichen received a positive answer, he stared at Jiang Yuebai with pretense of suspicion, "How do you, a woman, know how to make firearms?"

Jiang Yuebai shook his head helplessly and raised his eyes to look directly at Li Beichen, "I am worried about the emperor day and night. I got the inspiration from the explosion of the porcelain bottle!"

Li Beichen thought to himself, just make it up, and joked: "You are so smart, it is possible to create anything."

Jiang Yuebai pressed against his chest and said softly, "Does Your Majesty think it's strange for women to know how to make firearms? Who says women are inferior to men?"

When Li Beichen heard these words, the scene of Jiang Yuebai holding a sword and fighting the enemy bravely appeared in his mind.

He was as brave as any man, not even any general.

Yes, who says women are inferior to men? Especially in this novel with a female protagonist.

Li Beichen held Jiang Yuebai's hand, "I would like to know how you came up with the idea of ​​using iron to make grenades?"

"Perhaps the Queen Mother is protecting us secretly. In those days, I was worried about the Emperor day and night, and my mind was always thinking about the porcelain bottle that blew up the Emperor that night. I always thought of treating him as a human being. Its human body.

Porcelain bottles are fragile, and iron cans are obviously better. However, iron cans are strong and not as easy to burst as porcelain bottles. The concubine thought that the thinner the iron piece, the easier it would be to break. She cut the iron can horizontally and vertically, like cutting tofu, and made some places thinner, which solved the problem. That's what the grenade looks like now. "

Hearing Jiang Yuebai's explanation in an orderly manner, Li Beichen squeezed Jiang Yuebai's hand and sighed: "Jiaojiao, it would be great if you were a man. You could research the most powerful firearms for me and regain the mountains and rivers."

In this way, there won’t be so many big heroines doing the job of queen mother and empress.

Jiang Yuebai smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, why can't women study firearms for the Emperor? Could it be that the Emperor can't trust me?"

Li Beichen kissed her temples, "It's not that I don't believe you, but there is no such precedent in the Ming Dynasty."

Jiang Yuebai took Li Beichen's hand and placed it on his slightly bulging belly.

"I hope that my children will be born in a peaceful and prosperous age and live a peaceful life. Apart from that, I don't ask for anything. As long as the emperor needs it, I will think about it with my heart, and I am only willing to share the emperor's worries."

After thinking for a while, he added, "I don't want rewards, and I don't want to be related to the previous dynasty. It's just these things that are done behind closed doors. Your Majesty, don't laugh at me."

Li Beichen was moved in his heart and murmured, "Jiaojiao. You are really my lucky star."

Even if he is a male supporting actor who will not live long, even if it is a virtual two-dimensional world, he still hopes to see the country prosper and the multi-ethnic groups be unified and strong.

He still couldn't ask about another world.

He was afraid that if he asked, there would never be any going back between them. Because. I seem to have really fallen in love with her.

These days, he has been nervous and lingering, afraid to speak. What will happen if it is revealed?

Li Beichen sat for a while and chatted for a while, then returned to Qinzheng Hall. Some rewards were sent to Yonghe Palace.

After Jiang Yuebai received the reward, he divided half of the jewelry and fabrics inside and gave them to Jiang Changzai. Anyway, she has a lot of these things here. She is pregnant with a child, and she probably won't need it after giving birth. It's better to give it to Mrs. Jiang to wear freshly.

Li Beichen rested at Concubine Hexian's house at night. After Daoyan resumed chanting sutras in the funeral palace, for several days, there was an endless stream of concubines who came to play chess with Daoyan. They all want to defeat Dao Yan and win the emperor's favor.

However, Daoyan refused them all on the grounds that he needed to recite sutras to the Queen Mother and focus on his own work.

Except Su Su and Xiao Cairen.

Daoyan took the initiative to ask them if they wanted to play a game of backgammon. If they beat him, he could tell their fortunes.

In fact, I just admire these two people and want to tell their fortunes for free.

Unexpectedly, one of the two little girls answered "No" and the other said "I don't want to". They both declined Daoyan because they wanted to focus on reciting sutras to the Queen Mother.

Dao Yan didn't expect that a strange person like him would be so frustrated that his own spear would attack his own shield.

He had no choice but to use his trump card. A note was given to each of them.

The one given to Susu said, "Your master is happy." The one given to Xiao Cairen said, "You are happy."

The two looked at each other with the note in hand, not knowing why. They all cursed in their hearts, maybe there is something wrong with this monk.

Especially Xiao Cairen's picture made her sneer. Just a few days ago, when I was visiting Murong to see if she was pregnant, I had a pulse check and said she was not pregnant.

But these are just a few days.

It would be nice to see what kind of medicine this monk Dao Yan sells in his gourd.

The whole palace knows that Concubine Jianing is happy. Isn't this Daoyan trying to be mysterious?
But Su Su still took the note back and handed it to Jiang Yuebai.

Jiang Yuebai looked at the note given by Dao Yan with great interest, studying it over and over again.

The note was very long, with only six words written on it, and a large blank space behind it. Jiang Yuebai always felt that there was a lot of mystery in it.

She asked Li Chun to bring in pen and ink, and copied the six characters carefully, over and over again, trying to figure out the meaning from the strokes.

At night she roasted it against a candle and discovered the secret inside.

Daoyan's prediction was written in the blank space at the back, and I was stunned after reading it. Because it says "Four sons and one daughter in the womb, one died in infancy, the other is precious".

Jiang Yuebai was a little flustered and immediately rolled up the note into a ball for fear of being seen.

Fortunately, only Li Chun was by her side.

Li Chun only saw the handwriting on the note, but did not see the content clearly. She asked with concern, "Empress, what's wrong with you? What's written on the note?"

Jiang Yuebai calmed down and said calmly, "It's nothing. It's just some shocking words."

He secretly thought, this Dao Yan is really capable, he can pinch and calculate. Except for herself, no one else in the harem could know that there were five in her belly.

Even Jiang Xian could only tell that she was pregnant with multiple fetuses.

It's just that it's far from the time to become the target of public criticism. It is not a good thing to peek into secrets, which may be counterattacked.

After all, there is a saying that the more you calculate your fate, the worse it gets, and the more you calculate your fortune, the thinner it gets.

Jiang Yuebai felt a little sad when she thought that one of her unborn children would die in infancy. After a moment, I felt relieved again. If God's will is this, just do your best.

After making up his mind, Jiang Yuebai told Li Chun, "Go and call Liang Xiaobao and Chunsheng over. I want to stand up and walk around."

After Li Chun left, Jiang Yuebai imitated a piece of paper according to the words on the note, and cut it exactly like the one Dao Yan gave her.

Then he hid the real one alone.

Daoyan did it with such great fanfare and aroused the emperor's appetite beforehand. The emperor and other concubines would soon know that Susu had obtained the note.

Presumably the emperor would come to him after asking Xiao Cairen and taking Xiao Cairen's note.

Maybe it will come tonight.

Jiang Yuebai thought curiously: What does this Dao Yan want to do? What is the purpose of revealing the secret to yourself?

Sure enough, after dinner, the emperor came over.

The emperor didn't beat around the bush. After asking what he had for dinner and whether he felt well, he went straight to the point:

"I heard that Dao Yan gave you a note. Show it to me."

Jiang Yuebai handed the note he copied to the emperor.

After the emperor took it, he stood by the candle himself, brought the note close to him and toasted it.

Of course nothing happened.

Li Chun couldn't help but show a surprised expression, which was noticed by Liang Xiaobao on the side.

Jiang Yuebai looked at the emperor with confusion, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with the note?"

Li Beichen remembered the hidden words on Xiao Cairen's note, "As a prince, this son will not be saved, and he will be aborted during pregnancy."

Jiang Yu and Jiang Xian were ordered to come to the hospital for consultation, and they found out that they were actually pregnant for more than a month. Ten days ago, when Murong was pregnant, all the concubines had a diagnosis. However, the month was still young at that time, and the pulse was not normal.

I ordered the Jingshifang to bring Tongchu, and summoned him to bed on the tenth day of the fifth lunar month. The days were right.

During Xiao's pregnancy, she was like a normal person. Li Beichen often called her to Qinzheng Palace to accompany her, and she didn't suffer from morning sickness at all. If it weren't for Daoyan's note, no one would have thought that she was pregnant.

He also walked to and from Jingyang Palace and the Funeral Palace every day, and worshiped and repented in the Funeral Palace all day long. It was very tiring and hard work, but there was no miscarriage. It's very magical.

But this diagnosis also revealed something strange.

It was discovered that Xiao Cairen had taken a kind of Bizi Decoction called Dingxiangluo.

Jiang Xian told the emperor that the clove drop was mainly made of musk and cloves. It was an extremely cold thing and was used as a contraceptive by the women of Changqing Tower. If taken for a long time, it will cause serious damage to the mother's body, especially if a woman is pregnant. But Xiao Cairen didn't get pregnant, which is a miracle.

And Daoyan not only calculated that Xiao was pregnant, but also calculated that she had a miscarriage, which was really strange.

Xiao Cairen looked miserable and cried that someone was trying to harm her.

In the past few days, when Xiao Cairen was not with the emperor, he always dined with Xi Concubine and Xie Guiren in the concubine palace. Although it was not stated clearly who wanted to harm her, Xi Bin and Xie Guiren were obviously the biggest suspects.

Jiang Xian took a pulse and found that Xie Guiren also had signs of taking Dingxiangluo. The dosage he took was similar to that of Xiao Cairen, but because he was not pregnant, the symptoms were not obvious.

After Xie Guiren heard about it, he immediately broke down and burst into tears. He anxiously asked Jiang Xian if he would hurt his body at all. I felt relieved when I learned that taking it for a short period of time and with a small dosage would lead to good health and recovery without any serious problems.

However, the concubine who lives with her is doing very well and has no symptoms at all.

This made it difficult for her to defend herself.
