The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 121

When the imperial concubine heard Xu Meiren's words, she cried out in her heart that it was not good, and hurriedly ordered the female officer beside her to go to the imperial study to invite Emperor Cheng. When she was about to enter the side hall to help Xu Meiren, she heard Empress Wu's indifferent voice: " What's the use of begging me, I'm not a midwife, if you want to give birth to this child, it depends on whether you have the ability."

Hearing this voice, the imperial concubine stopped walking, and after a while, she suddenly turned around and left the Yiran Palace with the accompanying maids.

A quarter of an hour later, the imperial concubine went back and forth, and was accompanied by an old woman about 50 years old. They were the only ones who entered the Yiran Hall, and they heard Xu Mei's miserable cry from the side hall, and the imperial concubine heard the sound. Surprised in my heart, I didn't care much, and rushed in with people.

As the door opened, a gust of blood rushed towards her face. The imperial concubine didn't dare to hesitate, she hurried over the screen, and was immediately stunned by the scene on the bed. She saw Xu Meiren lying on the bed covered in blood, and her Her confidant Er Yu took out the child from her open belly with tears in her eyes.

The imperial concubine was stunned by this scene. At this time, Xu Meiren, who was holding her last breath, saw the imperial concubine stretching out her hand as if seeing a savior: "Your highness, noble concubine, empress, save, save, save the concubine's children!" .”

Because of this sound, the imperial concubine came to her senses, and hurriedly said to the old woman behind her: "Mother Zhang, go and see Xu Meiren and the child." After giving orders to Mother Zhang, she said to the maid behind her: "Go quickly!" Please come to the imperial doctor, it must be quick."

The palace maid was ordered to rush out of the Yiran Hall in a panic and went to the Imperial Hospital.Nanny Zhang took the child from Er Yu's hand, she quickly wiped off the blood on the child's body, then lifted the child upside down, slapped the child's buttocks, and only heard a wow, and the child cried loudly.

"The emperor is here!" At this moment, the servant's communication sounded, and the imperial concubine came to her senses, and hurriedly got out of the screen to stop Chengdi, who was about to enter the delivery room, and said: "Your Majesty, the woman's delivery room smells too bloody, you It is the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and you cannot enter it."

Glancing at the large wooden screen, Emperor Cheng asked worriedly: "How about Xu Meiren, is the baby safe and sound?"

The imperial concubine was about to answer, when Empress Wu carried a baby across the screen, with a look of grief on her face and tears in her eyes, she said, "Your majesty, in order to keep the emperor's son, Meiren gave birth by caesarean section. Poor child, she has passed away from anger."

When Emperor Cheng heard the words, his face showed shock, and it took him a long time to say with great pain: "I will pass on my decree, Jin Xu beauty will be your concubine, give her the name Bi, and give her a dignified burial."

Under the word of mouth, Emperor Cheng, with the support of Eunuch Zhang, turned around and left the Yiran Hall. He had no feelings for Xu Meiren, who is now Concubine Bi, but after all, Concubine Bi died for giving birth to a child for him, so it is impossible for him not to be sad .

The imperial concubine watched Emperor Cheng go away, then looked back at Empress Wu, and finally said nothing, her eyes just fixed on the child's face for a while, then she saluted and turned to leave the Yiran Hall.

After a sleepless night and a brilliant genius, Li Meizhen received a message from the imperial concubine, and learned that Empress Wu did not allow the midwife to deliver the baby for Xu Meiren, and forced Xu Meiren to give birth by caesarean section in order to save the child. Heng was completely stunned.

"Princess, the imperial concubine also said that the little prince was carried back to the central palace by Mrs. Wu. She probably will ask Wei Chengzhi to adopt the little prince after Bi Guifei's funeral." Seeing Li Sister-in-law stunned, Mo The book opened its mouth at the right time and continued.

After hearing this, Li Meizhen smiled coldly: "As expected, she is cruel and merciless, even a baby will not be spared. Dress me up and change my clothes, and we will enter the palace right away."

Mo Shu naturally knew Li Meiying's intention of entering the palace, she didn't say anything, and hurriedly called Yunyu and Qing'er to change Li Meiying's clothes and make up, when everything was tidied up, there was a maid outside the door begging to see her, Mo Shu went out for a while Afterwards, he went back to the house and said, "Princess, Eunuch Zhang sent a little eunuch to the mansion to invite the princess into the palace. It seems that Wei Chengzhi doesn't want to eat and drink because of the matter of Bi Guifei. Please come into the palace to persuade him."

Li Meizhen tugged at her sleeves, and smiled thoughtfully: "Since people are begging to come to the door, there is absolutely no reason for us to refuse, let's enter the palace!"

In the imperial study room, Wei Chengzhi stood in front of the window with a haggard look. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned around and saw that it was Li Sister-in-law, so he forced a smile and said, "My sister-in-law is here, why do you want to come to the palace to see me today?" .”

Li Sister bowed and saluted, then looked at Eunuch Zhang and said: "Eunuch Zhang sent someone to the mansion to tell me that the emperor was very sad because Concubine Bi died in childbirth, and he didn't want to eat or drink. I was worried about the health of the emperor, so I entered Palace to see."

Hearing this, Emperor Cheng's eyes filled with warmth, he turned back and sat down in front of the imperial case, motioned for Eunuch Zhang to serve tea to Li Sister-in-law, and said gently: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

Li Sister-in-law heard the words, glanced at Zhang Gonggong, and smiled: "Your Majesty, my sister-in-law is in a hurry to enter the palace in the morning, and breakfast is useless. Presumably the emperor hasn't had breakfast yet, so my sister-in-law is so cheeky. You can have breakfast here."

Emperor Cheng was amused by her mischievous tone, and his mood was no longer so gloomy, so he said to Zhang Gonggong: "Let's pass on breakfast, I'm hungry."

After hearing this, Eunuch Zhang was overjoyed, and went to buy breakfast himself happily.Quietly accompanied Emperor Cheng after breakfast, and when the maid cleaned everything up, Li Sister-in-law took a sip of the newly brewed hot tea, and then said: "Your Majesty, the little prince lost his biological mother as soon as he was born. He is so young. , cannot do without mother's care, I wonder if the emperor has an ideal adoptive mother in mind?"

Wei Chengzhi didn't expect Li Sister-in-law to mention this matter, he thought about it carefully, then sighed: "Concubine Bigui left so suddenly, I haven't had time to think about this issue. My son, you often walk around in the harem, Can anyone recommend a suitable candidate?"

Hearing this, Li Meizhen was not in a hurry to reply, but looked at Eunuch Zhang and said, "Eunuch Zhang, do you know where the little prince is now?"

Eunuch Zhang hurriedly replied: "Yesterday, the empress carried the little prince away, and the little prince must be raised by the empress in the middle palace right now."

When Emperor Cheng heard the words, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, he just looked at Li Sister.Li Sister-in-law smiled calmly and said: "It seems that the empress intends to adopt the little prince. This move is really to share the emperor's worries. It's just that Sister-in-law thinks it's still a bit inappropriate for the empress to raise the little prince!"

Hearing Li Meiying's words, Emperor Cheng said with no joy or anger on his face: "What's wrong, just tell me!"

After thinking for a while, Li Sister-in-law slowly said: "The empress is the mother of a country, so it is natural for her to raise the little prince, but the empress is entangled in the six palaces, so I am afraid she cannot devote more energy to it." Take good care of the little prince, my sister-in-law thinks that the little prince's adoptive mother must firstly have a high status, and secondly, have no children, so that she will treat the little prince as a treasure and take care of him in every possible way."
