Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 397 Retaliation, Can You Afford It?
When she asked, Baili Junyi was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that he stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms: "Ninghua, are you afraid that the next fight will affect you and your child?"

Shen Ninghua nodded: "The prince's seizure of power has always been the most tragic time. The news that I am pregnant again spreads. I am afraid that many people will follow us, especially knowing that you have always valued children..."

Baili Junyi gently stroked the back of her head, letting her tense heart relax a little bit: "The reason why I participated in the seizure of the heirloom is to be able to protect you and the children. That position, but now we don’t need to be afraid of anyone, Ninghua, don’t worry, if anyone wants to hurt you and the children, I will return it back a hundred times and a thousand times.”

Shen Ninghua leaned in his arms, and a sense of reassurance came over her face, making her relax involuntarily.

Baili Junyi talked for a while, and felt that Shen Ninghua's breathing was becoming more and more gentle. He couldn't help being stunned, looked down and found that she had fallen asleep.Seeing her peaceful sleeping face, Baili Junyi couldn't help but curled up the corners of his lips, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes: Ninghua, don't worry, I will protect you and ours. Child, if you can't even protect your most beloved thing, then what's the point of fighting for it?

Shen Ninghua was pregnant, so she naturally wanted to announce the good news to the palace, and it didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the imperial city.Concubine Li was talking to Lin Feiying when she received the news.After all, this niece is about to get married, and she still needs to know about some secret tricks, so as not to be unable to win over Bu Jinglan in the future.

When the maid reported the news, the smile on Concubine Li's face disappeared in an instant, she waved her hand to make the maid back down, and there was a trace of anger in her eyes: "Shen Ninghua is lucky." Before she was in Changqiu Gong schemed against her once, and then Lin Feiying planned Qi Ying's matter again. After all the troubles, she still hasn't miscarried.

Lin Feiying couldn't help but said: "Speaking of which, Shen Ninghua is really lucky. She gave birth to the most auspicious dragon and phoenix twins in her first child. After a short time, she is pregnant again."

Concubine Li took a sip of her tea, and felt that everything was not going well: "Speaking of which, not only Shen Ninghua is lucky, but Baili Junyi is also good. Look, the prince insisted on marrying the princess in order to win over the concubine's natal family. I got a sick child and went back. I haven’t given birth to a boy and a half girl for the prince for so many years, but there is a concubine who is said to be spoiled. When the second prince and concubine were not dead, there were several concubines who were pregnant. Later, they all had miscarriages, but there were also people who were pregnant, but since the death of the concubine, there has been no news in the mansion. Only Bu Tinghe, the third child, gave birth to a sick son. Whether he can support him is a problem. I gave birth to five children, but they were all girls, the sixth son died violently at a young age, and the other princes were still young..."

Lin Feiying frowned: "So, among the adult princes, only the fifth prince has a son and a daughter, and now Shen Ninghua is pregnant again..."

Concubine Li snorted: "Isn't it? Who can have her good life."

Lin Feiyan rolled her eyes, and then said: "Yes, besides her concubine, the fifth prince doesn't even have a girl who warms the bed. I heard that the servants around him are all men, and the other maids are all men. The one who serves Shen Ninghua is just this unique favor, and I don't know how many women I envy."

"Huh?" Concubine Li's heart moved, "You are right. In the past, Shen Ninghua gave birth to twins, so we didn't pay much attention to it, but now she is pregnant again, and she dominates the fifth prince so domineeringly. But it’s unreasonable, jealousy can’t be so domineering, can it?”

Lin Feiying nodded hastily: "Your Majesty said that the second prince's concubine, Yang, went crazy and framed her because she couldn't stand her stimulation. If the main concubine and side concubine follow her in the future, then the palace of the princes will Is there still a time of peace?"

Concubine Li smiled: "What you said is true, this matter should be taken seriously!"

Lin Feiying lowered her head and smiled, her smile was full of malice: Shen Ninghua, you humiliated me before, I must try my best to get it back!
Not long after the news of Shen Ninghua's pregnancy came out, a rumor spread quietly in the capital.

Hong Ling took the report from her subordinates, flushed with anger, and said indignantly: "Miss, the rumors outside are too outrageous!"

Shen Ninghua sat at the side watching Xiaobao playing with the boss, looking a little careless: "It's just spreading the word that I'm jealous. If they want to spread it, let them spread it. For so long, there have been rumors about me everywhere. I'm good, and if it's rumored that I'm bad tomorrow, it's just gossip, so don't pay attention to it."

Hong Ling hurriedly said: "Miss, but this time is different, everyone is saying that Mrs. Yang is pitiful, that she was provoked by you to frame Qi Ying, and that you are now pregnant and occupying the prince. She is really the number one jealous woman in Kyoto!"

"Huh? The emperor has issued a gag order on Yang Yingxue's matter. It has all been spread. I think the source of the news should be in the palace."

"Yes, the servants were investigated. It was first spread by the servants who came out of the palace to buy it. Later, under the impetus of those who cared, it became more and more powerful."

Shen Ninghua smiled: "Then it seems that it has something to do with Concubine Li."

Baili Junyi strode in, with a strong displeasure on his face: "Ninghua, don't listen to the rumors outside, leave this matter to me, and I will handle it."

Hongling saluted and retreated, Shen Ninghua stood up and helped Baili Junyi change into regular clothes, the smile on his face remained unchanged: "If I cared about rumors, I would not be able to live. It's not like there were such rumors before, but because we With the pair of dragon and phoenix, Xiaobao and Boss, those bad rumors have been suppressed, and now, some people deliberately promote it, and it will be a matter of time before they can't be suppressed."

Baili Junyi hugged her and put her on the soft couch, with a bottomless chill in his deep eyes: "I've already been investigated, and both Concubine Li in the palace and the Lin family outside the palace have intervened, hmph, I Before her daughter was born, someone made trouble for her mother, this account must be settled!"

After a few days, the news in the capital suddenly changed.At the beginning, some people just said that Shen Ninghua was jealous, but later someone defended her, saying that although Shen Ninghua was the only favorite, she could have children. Look at other princes' houses, not to mention the concubine, is there any good for the concubine?As a result, it became a catastrophe immediately, and the rumors changed again and again, and later it became that the emperor had lost his virtue, so he took revenge on the princes, causing the princes' heirs to wither and no one to inherit.

The news spread all the way to the palace, and Baili Qingcang was furious when he heard about it, and ordered a strict investigation into the rumors.

In the Changqiu Palace, Li Guifei listened to the report of the palace staff, and rubbed her forehead: "Okay, I understand, let them stop spreading the news, and clean up the tail."

"Yes, ma'am."

Concubine Li held the thin blue-and-white gold teacup in her hand, and the coldness in her eyes could not be stopped: Lin Feiying, this useless thing, was originally just for her to spread the word about Shen Ninghua's special favor, jealousy, tolerance of others, and no one else. Thinking that she also involved Yang Yingxue's matter, and she was so unscrupulous in spreading it, now she can't stop it even if she wants to close it!This girl won't be a big deal, and it's too difficult to use her to win over Bu Jinglan. It seems that the Lin family should make another plan.

The next day, Concubine Li was sleeping peacefully, but she was awakened by the noise outside, and immediately said displeased: "What's going on?"

The palace maid hurriedly ran in: "Madam, it's not good, the imperial concubine Qi brought people over, and said she wanted to search the palace."

"Search the palace?" Concubine Li raised her eyebrows, "Search the palace of this palace, who sent the words, the emperor?"

Concubine Qi opened the door and came in, followed by several maids and nuns: "Sister Li is right, it is the emperor's oral order."

"Sister Qi, since it is the emperor's command, I will naturally not disobey my sister. I also ask my sister to wait outside for a while, and let my sister search after getting up and dressing up."

Concubine Qi turned her head and motioned to the palace people behind her: "Sister, don't worry, she said you are searching the palace, but I know you best, sister, you have always been kind, and there is naturally no major problem in your palace, so you don't have to rush to get up. I just want someone to take a look at it, so please take a look."

The maids and nurses behind hurriedly moved around, took a quick glance and then respectfully retreated behind Qi Guifei: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the palace of Imperial Concubine Li."

Concubine Qi nodded: "Well, I said that this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Li's younger sister, but the procedures that should be followed still need to be followed, sister should rest first, and sister will take someone to take a look at other places. "

When Concubine Qi led the people to leave in a mighty manner, Concubine Li frowned tightly, and looked at the maid beside her: "What's going on, what happened in the palace?"

The palace lady knelt down with a plop: "Return to the empress, you let the servants order you to clean the tail, and the servants let people secretly|execute Xiao Xiangzi who passed the news, but I don't know what happened, last night, suddenly in the harem There are many palace people who died suddenly, and the matter has already reached the ears of the emperor, and most of those palace people who died suddenly are our eyeliners."

Concubine Li's whole body froze, she just felt a chill in her heart: "What did the emperor say?"

"The emperor said that the matter happened in the harem, and he will leave it to you, Concubine Qi, to dispose of it. He also said that people will count up the palace people who died suddenly, and investigate them one by one. Find out what they did before they were alive and why they were murdered."

Concubine Li was stunned for a while, her fingers tightly grasping the bed sheet: "This is a trap, this is a trap specifically aimed at me."

Those who died were the eyeliners she planted, and the emperor ordered them to be investigated one by one. I don't know how many things will be found out, especially the rumors spread by Xiao Xiangzi before. Once it breaks out, how should she deal with it?
Baili Junyi... It must be his fault. He is going to draw the bottom line, so that the emperor has to pay attention and investigate. Once she finds out, then she will wait to meet the emperor's wrath. After all, the rumors spread to the end The imperial power has been threatened, and the emperor's thunderous wrath is not something she can bear!
