The maid is the queen

Chapter 252 Disrupting Our Happiness

A red charcoal fire was lit, the sky outside was overcast and it was about to snow heavily, the three children were not allowed to go to the Royal Academy today, it was very warm inside and the three children were obediently learning to paint indoors.

Xi pressed the palm prints, one by one, and excitedly called out in front of me: "Mother Concubine, looks good."

You want me to hate him, but in my eyes, it just looks good.

"Go and sit down obediently, don't bother brother and sister."

"Mother Concubine, what should I do if I can't draw anymore?" The baby looked at a piece of paper in embarrassment.

I poked my head to look, and there was a picture of his father, who was wearing a dragon robe, and me, with short hair, followed by her in the middle, and Xu by the side, and finally there was no place.

She said, "Then don't paint Brother Xi?"

Xi called softly: "Sister, sister."

"Mother and Concubine, put Brother Xi on top of your head!" She made up her mind, and two sentences about sister were enough to change her mind.

"Look, Xi'er, how kind my sister is to you."

"Hello, sister. Xi likes mother and concubine, sister, brother, and emperor father." All he could know were these few close people.

"Okay, don't be clingy to my sister, let my sister draw, Xu, what are you drawing?"

Xu said calmly: "Xu's paintings are horses, mother concubine, Xu knows why the horses in the northwest are the best, because there is a vast world and abundant aquatic plants, let them run with their hooves, and there are no horses in the capital. The horses are good, they are all locked up and put on saddles, they don't run fast. When Xu grows up, he will take his mother and concubine to ride horses on the grassland."

"I'm going too." The baby raised his hand.

Xi also joined in the fun: "Brother, Xi goes."

"Why do you want to go there?" I asked Xu lightly.

This child grows up very fast, smart and sensible, gratified and heartbroken.

Xu said: "Because the concubine mother likes it there, but the concubine mother is accompanying us in the palace now. When we grow up and we are not afraid of being alone, the concubine mother can go there."

I touched his small face and sighed: "It's nothing, why do you have to be so caring? Xu, Concubine Mother's heart is as sweet as honey, but no matter how old you are, you are all Concubine Mother's children. You must remember that you are brothers and sisters, and you must respect and give in to each other."

He nodded: "Well, mother concubine, Xu'er remember, Xu'er will not compete with brother Xi for the crown prince."

What he said suddenly made me a little horrified: "Prince?"

"Yes, concubine mother." He nodded maturely: "Xu now understands what is a prince and what is an emperor. Xu is lucky, because there is a concubine who loves Xu. Xu must learn civil and military things well when he grows up. After that, I can assist Brother Xi."

I admit that the emperor loves Xi very much, because Xi is born of me.

But Xu is very smart and brave, and has good talent. He is still the eldest son of the emperor, and he has a chance to be the prince.

I shook my head and said, "It's still too early to say these things, Xu, the concubine mother doesn't want you to have such thoughts, it's too early to think about it now, don't affect the friendship between your brothers as the crown prince, when the concubine mother is raising you, It's not that you want to repay your mother and concubine. As long as your mother and concubine grow up happily, that's the best reward. The throne belongs to those who are able, and you are your father who has the courage and ability to manage the dynasty well. If you want it, don’t listen to what other people say, you are also the child of the emperor, do you know?"

He nodded, then leaned on my shoulder and hugged: "Mother Concubine, did Xu tell Mu Concubine that Xu likes Mu Concubine so much?"

"No, no." I won't get tired of saying it ten thousand times.

I am so glad that he is very sensible, looking up at the window, the cold wind blows the paper of the window to make a sound, and pours in through the crack, trying to invade the warmth here.

The maid said: "Princess, do you need to paste another layer, so that it will not get into the wind."

"No need." I was listening, hearing his footsteps coming.

Putting on more clothes for the child, he simply asked the maid to open a small window to look outside, and she was slightly covered in white, like the lingering depression in her heart.

The wind rushed in from there, and I stood at the window to watch, and suddenly saw light and fluttering white catkins flying down from the sky.

The maid also exclaimed in amazement: "It's snowing."

Really, it's snowing, the wind blows the fine snow, and the wind blows around without even touching the ground. The wind makes people's cheeks hurt. It's been so long that the emperor hasn't heard any news. Could something be wrong?

I was worried, but I could only wait.

"Princess, it's snowing, and it's windy here, please come back inside, so as not to freeze your body."

I shook my head: "No, I'll just stand here and wait for the emperor to come over."

"Your Majesty, why don't you go over and have a look?"

After thinking about it, I said, "Alright, just go and have a look, and come and tell me if you have any news."

Lu Xianhu is not easy to mess with. I am very worried about the emperor. How can his kung fu compare to Ju Xianhu? There will be some hesitation the second time.

"Concubine Mu, are you thinking about Emperor Father?" Xu raised his head and asked me.

I nodded with a smile: "Yes, I was thinking about him."

"Mother and concubine, don't worry, father and emperor will be fine."

"Hehe, I believe he won't." He is a person who is very good at protecting himself, and he hopes to protect himself well this time.

But the sky was getting grayer and grayer, and my heart was hurting more and more. I felt that this was a very bad premonition, and even my eyelids twitched.

Xia Junlan, please don't scare me.

I waited so anxiously that I felt like a fire was lit, and I stood uneasy.

Until it was dark and the worry in my heart could no longer be suppressed, I stood up and asked the maid to prepare thick clothes for me, and was about to go out.

As soon as I got to the door, I saw a few flimsy lanterns shaking in the wind and snow. I stood and waited for them to approach, only to see a few fathers-in-law.

The leader was Eunuch Chen, trembling and nervous: "Princess Mu, the emperor invites Princess Mu to Zhenghua Palace."

I was about to ask the girl to open an umbrella, but Eunuch Chen added another sentence: "Princess Mu will go alone." He took the umbrella from the maid and supported me when the snow fell on my head.

I walked too fast and staggered a few times, but Eunuch Chen gave me a hand. My heart was beating so fast that I was in pain. I think something happened to the emperor. Otherwise, Eunuch Chen would not have talked to me like this. , and I am not allowed to take the maid, that is, the less people who know about this matter, the better, this matter is very big.

Hands clenched into fists in the wind and snow, I don't know what coldness is, but coldness surges up in my heart, I am getting more and more afraid, and my breathing hurts, I don't know how far I have walked, I just want to kick in a hurry When I step at the gate of Zhenghua Palace, if I can see him soon, he will smile and say to me: "Yun Zhiqiu, I tell you, I won."

He has always liked this kind of thing, to show his strength and pride in front of me.

But the Zhenghua Palace not far away had a gloomy taste in the snow.

Eunuch Chen helped me, who was a little weak, to go in, and confessed at the door: "You are here to wait for orders, no one can come in without the emperor's order, you know."

"Your servant obeys." The father-in-laws dared not go any further.

He dragged me, and went to the emperor's bedroom. He heard his hurried footsteps in the corridor, and he didn't even know how fast his heart was beating.

When he arrived at the emperor's bedroom, Eunuch Chen bent over outside: "Your Majesty, Princess Mu is here."

Then he opened the door and asked me to go in. After entering, he turned around and closed the door, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, follow the servant to see the emperor."

But under the quiet candlelight, Xia Junlan was lying on the dragon bed, his face was as pale as paper, and his body was stained with some blood, but he didn't feel any pain at all, as if he was injured.

"What's going on here?" He clasped and clasped together, but couldn't catch anything in the end.

Eunuch Chen sighed, and said in detail: "Today, the emperor invited General Lu to a banquet, and he really wanted to remove General Lu secretly. All the singing girls dancing are masters. The emperor knows that Pao Xianhu is a cunning and insidious person. Ruthless, he didn't play his cards according to the facts. Thinking about the banquet, he also expected what the intention was. He was careful not to touch the wine and spit it in his sleeve. In fact, the emperor didn't put medicine in the wine, but the incense that was released, which was similar to that of maikos. The scent on his body blended together, making everyone present feel weak after smelling it. The courtesan assassinated Lu Xianhu, of course Lu Xianhu resisted, and the big insiders rushed to him, but he broke out of the encirclement and rushed towards the emperor."

"Can he avoid it? And the people around him..." To him, being soft and weak is nothing, as long as Paoxianhu doesn't have the bravery of the past.

"Yes, the emperor can hide clearly, but the emperor can't move his body." Eunuch Chen said in a low voice: "The servant also noticed the emperor's surprise. Lu Xianhu assassinated the two slaves, and the sword pierced the emperor from his father-in-law. Make a statement, don't make a statement, and return to Zhenghua Palace immediately. When he was talking, he looked at the wine in front of his table, his voice became smaller and smaller, his eyes were full of shock, the servant realized that there must be a reason for this, and brought them back. The emperor has been in a coma like this, and the slaves did not make a sound according to the emperor's wishes, and did not even invite the imperial doctor."

It was the first time I felt these pains, and it really hurt my heart. Where Xia Junlan lay there, she quietly seemed lifeless.

The wine cup is a Nine Dragons Playing Pearl, he once said that this is his favorite cup, when he was the crown prince, it was given by the late emperor, it was used to hold wine, it looks like a dragon shadow moving inside, it is very beautiful, but it is not commonly used .There are only two cups, one is with his mother and the other is his.

Don't say anything, and don't say anything, Xia Junlan, you should wake up.

My heart ached so much that I wanted to cry, but Eunuch Chen asked me: "Master, the slave has no idea now, what should I do?

I asked him to open the window, blew out the candles, took off his layers of clothes, and stood in front of the window with only thin clothes, and then calmly ordered: "Eunuch Chen, please go to the imperial doctor immediately, in the name of the emperor, Say I'm not feeling well, and ask the imperial doctor to come to Zhenghua Palace right away."

Cool down quickly, the colder you blow me, the better.

Eunuch Chen nodded: "Okay, the servant will go right away."
