The wicked girl

Chapter 278
In a blink of an eye, it is summer.

The spring day is short, and it was clear that the night before was still cold. When I woke up, the sun was hot in the sky, making people want to sweat.The quilt on her body has long been replaced with a cool material, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she felt very greasy and uncomfortable.

Stretching out her hand to wipe her forehead, there was sweat all over her hands, and Concubine Pei became annoyed for no reason.

She is most afraid of heat on weekdays, and she wished that summer would not come every year.But year after year, this scorching heat is always coming.

She frowned, lifted the curtain annoyedly and shouted: "Jinmei."

Jinmei is her personal maid, who is 23 years old this year.

According to the custom in the palace, the maids can leave the palace at the age of 25.She doesn't want to give up Jinmei, but she also doesn't want to keep her trapped in this palace for a lifetime.If she does not leave the palace after two years, then she will have to wait until she is 50 years old.At that time, she is old and weak, and has no one to rely on, so what should she do?
Concubine Pei was depressed, she wanted to keep her and let her out of the palace.

She sighed silently, she couldn't think about it.Thinking about it, she felt as if a stone was blocked in her heart, and she felt very uncomfortable.This imperial palace is a monster that only eats people, and the palace gates are the monster's mouths that open wide.The palace lanterns hanging under the eaves of each palace are the eyes of monsters.Staring at them, watching them grow old day by day.His beauty is gone, his figure is getting bloated day by day, and his hair is full of hair. He sits in the cold palace and weeps in front of the mirror.

Time passed so quickly, she clearly seemed to be still holding her little brother in the mansion, listening to the two children babbling.

When the mother was pregnant, she happened to be away from home. When the two children were on the ground, she hurried back, only to find that the mother was not happy at all.She has never thought about this matter. From her point of view, it is the best thing for her mother to add two sons to the Pei family.

Even if Lao Ba was born blind, Lao Jiu is an excellent person.

However, the smile on my mother's face became less and less day by day, and finally disappeared like that.When she entered the palace, the mother had already started eating fast and reciting Buddha's name, she didn't even look at the two children at all.

This matter has always puzzled her. It was not until she entered the palace for many years and gave birth to the thirteenth prince that she inadvertently learned from the imperial physician that her mother might have suffered from a disease at that time.

——and, it’s heart disease
She was still bored, but finally felt that she had solved the mystery that had been bothering her all this time, and became much calmer.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed like water.

"Ma'am, why are you sweating so much?"

Concubine Pei was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly cleaned up the thoughts that were disturbed by Jinmei's words, and said: "It's getting too hot, you can ask someone to bring some ice."

It's just the beginning of summer, and it's still far away from the dog days. The palace hasn't started to use ice extensively, and even the empress has never mentioned it... Jinmei hesitated, and whispered: "My lady, I'm afraid this is not a good thing." .”

Concubine Pei dropped the tent she was holding, threw it on the ground, and said bitterly: "Could it be that if she doesn't use it, I will be burned to death?"

Jin Mei hastily consoled her: "Your Majesty, why bother to say such a thing, how about waiting for a few more days? Even if you don't mention it, after a few days, the Emperor will think of you."

"Your Majesty?" Concubine Pei Gui lay on her back on the bed, and smiled wryly, "That's all, let's do it like this."

In fact, how did Jinmei know that although the sweat was hot, there was also cold sweat from fright.The mixture of hot and cold made her feel like a fire was suffocating in her heart.If it can't be extinguished, it can only find an excuse to vent.

As long as she thought of the scene in her dream, she felt a chill in her heart.

Her thirteenth prince is only six years old this year. When she thought of the sword that was raised high in her dream, she felt as if she saw an evil ghost.Her precious son who was carved in powder and jade was lifted high on the tip of the sword, and drops of blood dripped on her face.

The tears were dripping, mixed with the blood, salty and sweet at the same time, which made her wake up suddenly.

How many people can be killed by a dragon chair?
It would be exhausting once you achieve success, let alone climb up that dragon chair.

At this moment, Concubine Pei Gui clearly realized that if she accidentally prepared, the sword in her dream would stab her son in the heart sooner or later, and he would die in front of her eyes!
Thinking like this, the originally sore and tired body suddenly became full of strength.

She pushed back the quilt, her black hair fell behind her like a waterfall, and her moon-white coat shone like jade.Concubine Pei Gui, who is more than the deputy queen, looks like a young girl in her twenties or eight years.The Pei family all have good looks, Pei Changge's brothers are two, and Pei Guifei is even more so.

If you only look at their looks, the three of them look like a family.

Concubine Pei was groomed and washed by Jin Mei, changed her clothes and went to the empress.

She had to go.

Even if she is favored again, she is not a queen.The position in this palace is so clear, she can only bow her head.Even if I don't want to, I have to rush to pay my respects to the queen every day.

When she arrived, the room was already full of people.

The queen just sat her down with a smile, and seemed to have no idea that she was late.But the queen never has only one mouth, if she doesn't speak, others will speak for her.

"Why is your concubine so late today? Didn't the emperor rest at An Meiren's place last night?" The speaker was a girl who was only seventeen or eighteen years old. She was dressed in aqua blue, which made her skin white as snow. The eyebrows are like distant Dai, and the lips are vermilion.

Concubine Pei took a sip of tea from the side, and said lightly: "The thirteenth prince has contracted the cold, so I worry day and night, so I can't sleep well."

When the voice fell, not only the girl who spoke just now, but also the rest of the few people changed their expressions slightly.

To ridicule her that she is not favored by the emperor these days?Then she can mock all of you for not being able to have children!Let's see who is more likely to get angry!

The queen finally said: "I've been sick these days, but the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor is useless?"

"The medicine from the Imperial Hospital is naturally good, but the child is still young, so the illness will go away slowly." Concubine Pei cheered up to talk to the queen.

Suddenly, someone outside reported that the emperor had vomited blood!
For a moment, the room was in a panic, and the younger ones were paralyzed on the chairs and couldn't move, and the timid ones burst into tears.

What is this all about!

Concubine Pei Gui had a headache from their crying, she slapped the table so hard that the teacup on it almost fell to the ground, "If anyone cries again, I'll drag her out and behead her! Your Majesty, please! What kind of teardrops did they fall?"

When the words fell, the group of people fell silent for a moment.
The queen frowned almost invisibly in the dark.

She was very upset.

Concubine Pei didn't pay attention to her at all!
But at this time, no one was in the mood to worry about this matter.Emperor Chengzhen's health has always been very good, and he has almost never suffered from common ailments such as wind-cold, let alone serious ailments.

But today he vomited blood!

Not only these people were afraid, but Concubine Pei Gui was also very scared in her heart.

The princes are all adults, if something goes wrong with the emperor at this time, no one knows what will happen!

She is terribly afraid!

Especially after having such a dream, she was even more frightened!

Concubine Pei forgot about the empress at this moment, and without thinking about it, she rushed out the door first, heading for Emperor Chengzhen.The queen gritted her teeth angrily behind her, but she could only show an extremely calm expression on her face, and sent everyone away before she rushed to the emperor's place.

Everyone knows that vomiting blood is not a trivial matter, but the people from the Tai Hospital actually said that they couldn't find out the cause, which makes people very upset!

Concubine Pei reprimanded several imperial physicians with a cold face, and then went inside to accompany the sleeping Emperor Chengzhen.

Emperor Chengzhen had a round face, sleeping soundly like an uncle next door, without the aura of an emperor at all.Concubine Pei looked at him, feeling even more depressed.If this is some fatal emergency, what should I do?
What if he just died like this?
The prince's temperament is too moderate, and he is not the material of an emperor.It is precisely because of this that the shadow that is about to move around is about to be dormant!
She had to make plans for Xiao Shisan.

He was still so young, but he was born in the royal family, so he was destined not to have the chance to be a real child.He is just a child in her eyes, but he will always have only one identity in the eyes of others. He is the No. 13 prince of Emperor Chengzhen and one of the heirs to the throne!

This alone is enough.

Enough to tempt those people, enough to be fatal.

She has never regretted entering the palace, but every time she sees her son, she can't help but regret it again and again.She regretted why she let him be born in the royal family...

After thinking about it, Concubine Pei took a deep breath and sent a message to her father.

In order to stabilize people's hearts, the outside world will never tell the truth about Emperor Chengzhen's condition.So she can only send a message to the Pei family first, telling them how serious the situation is now.

As for the Pei family, after receiving the news from her, they were also stunned for a while.

Marquis Yong'an was also surprised that Emperor Chengzhen was ill without warning.Such diseases are mostly emergencies, and one who is not careful will die.The situation in Fengcheng suddenly gathered in the sky, and the situation in Dayue might change soon!
When the same news reached Ye Kui's ears, it turned out that Emperor Chengzhen was slightly ill.

Maybe others will believe this, but for Ye Kui who has been quietly watching the development of the matter, it is not so simple!

At the moment when she heard the news, there was only one sentence in her mind——

The battle for the heir apparent that Ye Mingyan talked about might have to be brought forward!And it was a full four years in advance!
