Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 143

The Empress Dowager looked thoughtfully at the extremely annoyed Zhong Liye, and said in a gentle voice: "The fetus in Concubine Shu's womb will be gone if it is gone, so why should you be so angry. Don't forget, the Empress is also pregnant, What can I do if I disturb her to move her fetal gas?"

Zhong Liye frowned even tighter, "Last night I stayed in Concubine Shu's Palace, and she behaved well all night. I left her palace to give birth to her, and it took only an hour before and after. Moreover, I was still in her palace to join her." A lot of people have been dispatched." His voice was full of suspicion, "Who can do such things under my nose?"

"Even if Concubine Shu is inappropriate, there is something to be strong in front of you." Since Concubine Shu's last miscarriage, the Queen Mother has been very displeased with that person, and at this moment she brought up the past again, "I didn't do it last time." Did she have a miscarriage out of nowhere? What you think is inexplicable may be something that couldn’t be simpler. I expect Concubine Shu to spread the word for the royal family... Hmph, Ai’s family has long since lost that heart.”

Zhong Liye couldn't help but secretly smiled bitterly.Last time it was a play he made, but now it has become an excuse for the queen mother to make him make a big deal smaller, but he still has no way to refute it.

The queen mother said again: "The Ai family might as well tell you a few words from your heart. You asked me to take care of Concubine Shu for you yesterday. The reason why I declined was that I had asked the imperial physician a long time ago. The imperial physician said that Concubine Shu was very thin. If you want the child to be born safely, you must have a good birth and raise it—what does this mean? If the fetus is stable, where does this kind of rhetoric come from? The queen has been pregnant twice, so why is there not so much right and wrong?" After that Sighing, she still persuaded gently, "It's best if you care about your children, but Concubine Shu is a worthless person, so why do you take her so seriously? Even if there are Qin family and Luo family behind her, so what ? I see, that is a blessing."

Zhong Liye had no choice but to tell the truth to the queen mother: "I don't care about this woman, what I care about is that this thing happened too strangely, that's all."

"Forget it, so what if it's strange or not?" The queen mother was not interested in this matter, not even a trace of curiosity, "It's useless for you to pursue it with great fanfare, so what if it is found out that Concubine Shu committed the crime herself? Make your face dull." The voice paused for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said, "If you really want to investigate, then call the imperial physician that Concubine Shu often uses to ask, and see if this matter is accidental or reasonable. Seeing that Zhong Liye was still hesitating, he simply turned cold and decided, "Forget it, you go and find out what you don't understand, and I'll check what I don't understand. I have also seen and seen how a concubine is always in the heir It’s really bad luck for such a thing to happen during the New Year’s Eve! If she suffers on her own, the emperor can’t blame Ai’s family for severely punishing her!”

The last cold words finally made Zhong Liye give up his original intention, stood up and said respectfully: "Mother, please don't disturb Qingjing because of such things, I won't pursue it anymore."

The Empress Dowager's expression eased, and she said again: "Don't you want to go out to relax? You should go or go, because of such things, the order is changed day and night, and if it is spread, the courtiers will not be afraid of jokes!"

Zhong Liye was depressed.How much does the Queen Mother hate Concubine Shu?As if the child in her stomach should not have the same.After pondering for a moment, Gong still said yes, "I'll go to see Concubine Shu, and leave after a few words of relief."

After Zhong Liye left, the queen mother couldn't help shaking her head and sighing to the maids beside her: "I want the Yu family and the Qin family to be on par with each other, and it's understandable to use the women in the harem to make some fuss, but how can Concubine Shu be a master?" , Aijia feels chest tightness and headache every time she sees her!"

The palace maid comforted: "The emperor is still young after all, and needs to be reminded by the empress dowager from time to time."

The queen mother smiled bitterly, "The current emperor cannot be controlled by the Ai family."

Thinking of Kang Wang, the bitterness in his smile became heavier.She knew that Zhong Liye was in a hurry to leave the palace because he was angry in disguise, and he didn't want King Kang to marry the Jing family.

Now that he is so afraid of his own brother... Does he hope that Kang Wang is a real waste?If King Kang showed his talents in the future, would he commit brotherly violence?
Concentrating on the thoughts that made her secretly frightened, she pondered for a long time before ordering: "Concubine Shu's affairs should be checked both openly and secretly."

The palace maid was inevitably surprised.Just a moment ago, the queen mother was still trying to prevent the emperor from pursuing this matter.

"If it is Concubine Shu's responsibility, you don't need to manipulate her in the future. If the emperor wants to win over the Qin family, he must find someone who is sensible." She is smart, knowing that Aijia will protect her main palace no matter what, but her heart is a bit cruel after all, and she will have to restrain her in every way in the future. The queen and the emperor are husband and wife after all, if they fight openly and secretly, she will just walk away. The way of an empress? How can the love between husband and wife stand up to their tossing? It is better to be happy in everything."

Only then did the court lady understand, and Gong claimed it was.

At the end, the queen mother asked who were the officials who traveled with Zhong Liye.

The palace lady reported: "The emperor originally intended for Yiyonghou, Yongpinghou and General Zhenguo to accompany him, but Mrs. Yiyonghou only gave birth for a few days, and Yongpinghou and Mrs. Yongpinghou went to the suburbs of Beijing to offer incense and pray for blessings. General... the moment this happened to Concubine Shu, the emperor didn't let the officials accompany him."

The queen mother nodded, "This is the best."

When Zhong Liye entered Concubine Shu's palace, Yu Shaoyun had just taken his seat.

"Why are you here?" Zhong Liye asked.

Yu Shaoyun smiled coldly, "The concubine heard about Concubine Shu, shouldn't she come to visit?"

Zhong Liye smiled, "The queen mother said that this place is unlucky, and you are a twin, so you should not set foot here."

"I see." Yu Shaoyun smiled sweetly, "My concubine, please remember."

Concubine Shu, who was lying pale on the bed, sobbed loudly, choked up and called out: "Your Majesty... I beg you to make decisions for my concubine..."

Zhong Liye looked at Concubine Shu with impatient eyes, "I really don't understand—you knew you were weak, why didn't you be more careful?"

Concubine Shu cried even more aggrieved. "Your majesty, my concubines are hard to guard against. How could I have expected that a person with a heart like a snake would dare to do such an outrageous thing in front of the emperor... Your majesty, my concubine's child... just..." At this point, I was sobbing. His complexion became paler, and thin sweat broke out on his temples and forehead.

Yu Shaoyun glanced indifferently, the smile on his lips remained undiminished.

"Okay!" Faced with what he could do nothing, Zhong Liye could only become more impatient, "What's the use of crying? Can you cry your child back?"

Concubine Shu was sobbing in a muffled voice, her body was shaking violently, as if she was about to faint at any moment.

Yu Shaoyun's voice was gentle: "Concubine Shu is still mourning, and the right way is to take care of her body first." Turning his head to look at Zhong Liye, his voice was solemn and cold, "After all, this matter is too strange, and I ask the emperor to order it strictly. Check, you must not tolerate it!"

Zhong Liye stared at the dignified little face, smiled slightly, and said in a softer voice: "The queen mother has her own opinion on this matter, and the most important thing is that you take good care of yourself."

Yu Shaoyun put his bare hands on his abdomen, and forced a smile, "I blame my concubine for not taking good care of this matter, so that Concubine Shu has such a disaster, and I ask the emperor to punish me."

"Where is this talking?" Zhong Liye has been with her for a few years and held her hand, "Even I didn't realize this matter, so how can I blame you. Go back to the palace, don't take this matter to heart .”

Yu Shaoyun also took advantage of the situation.

Concubine Shu saw with her own eyes the deep love between the emperor and the empress, she knew that the two of them had a deliberate intimacy with each other, but she still felt very uncomfortable in her heart. After Yu Shaoyun left, she cried even more sadly.

Zhong Liye didn't say a word, but just stared coldly.He really dislikes a woman who only knows how to cry when things happen.

Concubine Shu was horrified by the sight, and her crying stopped abruptly.

Zhong Liye couldn't say any words of relief, got up after a while, and left without a word.

In front of Yu Shaoheng, Ye Xizhao secretly asked Jia Nian about all the palace affairs he wanted to know.

Jia Nian was very quick and answered one by one cryptically.

After Jia Nian resigned, Ye Xizhao looked at Yu Shaoheng, "How should we help Shaoyun? She's probably very sad." In her heart, Yu Shaoyun was as arrogant as any member of the Yu family, disdainful of lowering her self-worth Who to teach.This incident in the palace is probably caused by various factors.

"It depends on her." Yu Shaoheng said with unspeakable loss, "She has never wanted my help."

The ignorant younger sister in his eyes no longer needed him to protect her from the wind and rain.He didn't want to do this, and Yu Shaoyun probably didn't want to do this even more.Ye Xizhao's nose was sore, and his voice was muffled: "After returning home, I will go to the palace to see her."

"Well." Yu Shaoheng held her hand, "No matter what, let her live a better life. The honor and disgrace of the Yu family should not be borne by a weak woman."

When Ye Xizhao heard this, his heart became much brighter, and he stood up on his elbows, "Shall we go back now?" As soon as the words came out, he smiled embarrassedly, "No, it's not okay to come and go in a hurry, we always have to Let's go to the temple."

Yu Shaoheng rubbed her hair, "It's like an arrow to return to your heart?"

"No way." Ye Xizhao nestled back into his arms, rubbed the space between his slightly frowning brows, "I wish I could live here more slowly."

Yu Shaoheng smiled gently, "How about letting you bother me for a few days?"

Ye Xizhao first smiled expectantly, and then became suspicious, "What do you say? Will you do anything I ask you to do?"
