Chapter 116

During this period of time, the emperor was so busy with all kinds of affairs that he didn't even have time to eat.However, because he was thinking about Gu Yunxian's mother and son, he still took time out of his busy schedule to go to Hanzhang Hall.

He didn't want her to come out solemnly to pick him up, so he didn't inform him beforehand, and after asking where Gu Yunxian was, he went straight into the East Hall.

She was sitting under a lamp reading a book.

The emperor stood not far away, looking at her dark eyes and slender eyebrows, without making a sound.

Under the dim light, she has a quiet and elegant demeanor, which makes people feel inexplicably at ease.

I thought she was concentrating on reading, but when I got closer, I realized that her eyes were wandering, obviously she was distracted.

Reaching out to take out her book, she looked up in surprise.

He laughed, "What are you looking at?"

Gu Yunxian said: "I'm reading Buddhist scriptures."

The emperor looked at the book in his hand, and it turned out to be a volume of scriptures, "The imperial doctor said that it is not advisable to overuse your eyes during pregnancy, you should read less books."

Gu Yunxian said: "The concubine knows. Liu Shanggong and Aci are whispering in my ear all day, how dare I be sloppy?" Dudu murmured, "I just took a look occasionally, and you caught me .”

She showed a hint of childishness, and the emperor couldn't help laughing.

He sat down beside her, pulled her into his arms, and said softly: "Don't be unhappy, we are just too worried about you..."

"Chen Qie is not unhappy." She said, "Chen Qie understands that you are all for the good of me and the child. In fact, your Majesty does not need to worry, Chen Qie knows how to measure. Chen Qie has been looking forward to this child for so many years, how dare he have it now? A little sloppy?" Stretching out her hand to caress her lower abdomen, her eyes revealed the look of a loving mother, "The only wish of my concubine now is that he can come to this world safely, nothing else matters."

She spoke emotionally, but he frowned, "Is it all right? Is it all right?"

She was stunned for a moment, and then said without laughing or laughing: "Could it be possible that Your Majesty is jealous of children?"

Hearing her ridicule, he was not ashamed, but rather proud, and nodded solemnly, "Naturally. We have to agree in advance that when you have a child in the future, you can't put all your thoughts on him. Part of it is on me." After thinking for a while, he corrected, "No, you should put most of your attention on me, and you only need to give him the small part."

Gu Yunxian looked at him as if he didn't know him.

It's a shame that he can say such inexplicable words in a serious manner!
In fact, not only today, but recently, Gu Yunxian has noticed that the emperor is getting more and more childish when getting along with her.Many times, he is no longer like a king with a chest hidden in his chest, but more like a child, trying every means to attract the attention of adults.

Such a him made her feel funny and a little bit at a loss.

Seeing that Gu Yunxian didn't answer, he thought she was unwilling to agree, so he emphasized his tone, "This is our child, and I hope he is safe and happy just like you. But a child is a child, and I am me, so you can't confuse us. "

Gu Yunxian lowered his eyes, "Your Majesty's words are not fair. You have so many heirs, and you have already experienced the feeling of being a child under your knees. But the concubine is only such a biological child, so naturally you have to treat him better."

He was choked by her words, he was bored for a long time before turning his head away, and said bitterly: "You will use this to anger me."

Gu Yunxian said: "Isn't it?"

He didn't bother to talk to her.

Turning her eyes, she changed into a nonchalant tone, "According to the calculation, Yueniang is seven months pregnant, right?"

"Probably." He said lightly.

"It's time to give birth in three months. I don't know if it's a girl or a boy." Gu Yunxian looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, do you want a daughter or a son?"

The emperor said casually, "Anything is fine."

"Is everything okay?"

The emperor thought for a moment, "It's still a daughter."

"Why?" Gu Yunxian pretended not to understand.

"I only have a daughter, Alan, and I feel a bit lonely when I see her. If Yueyue Niang gave birth to a daughter, I can keep her company."

Alan is the boudoir name of Princess Fukang, and she is eight years old this year.

"Besides," the emperor added with a smirk, "Yueniang has too many thoughts. If she gives birth to a son, I'm afraid she will have some thoughts that she shouldn't have."

Gu Yunxian looked at him for a moment, but didn't speak.

Liu Shanggong suddenly came in through the curtain, and said, "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Zhang is here."

Gu Yunxian frowned, "Doctor Zhang? Why is he here?"

"I don't know this servant, maybe she came to ask for the pulse of the empress?"

Gu Yunxian shook his head, "My baby is taken care of by Xue Changsong. Although he is an imperial doctor, he can't take care of it." Suddenly thought, "Is something wrong with Ming Xiuyi?"

A few days ago, the imperial physician Gao Lin suddenly contracted a sudden illness and asked for sick leave.Ming Xiuyi's dragon fetus has always been taken care of by him, so it is natural to find someone to take over.

Considering that she was going to give birth in more than two months, and she had a bad temper and mood swings these days, the emperor specially sent Zhang Xian, the imperial physician, to take care of her seriously.

The emperor frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "Let him wait in the main hall."

When the emperor and Gu Yunxian arrived at the main hall, Zhang Xian was standing in the center of the hall with a worried expression on his face.

Seeing the two of them coming together, he quickly knelt down and saluted.The emperor asked him to get up casually, and helped Gu Yunxian to sit down on the mat.

He looked at Zhang Xian, "Why are you here so late?"

Zhang Xian said in a low voice: "I have something to report to Concubine Xian..."

Gu Yunxian asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xian didn't answer when he heard the words, but looked at the emperor hesitantly.

Seeing his reaction, the emperor couldn't help being taken aback.

Zhang Zhang is obviously an imperial physician, that is to say, he should obey his orders, but now he obviously has something to say and dare not tell him, what is going on?

Gu Yunxian also saw Zhang Xian's concerns, and asked tentatively, "Otherwise, Your Majesty should avoid it for a while?"

The emperor glared at her, turned to look at Zhang Xian, and lazily said: "Come on, I've come, it's impossible to drive me away now."

Zhang Xian was silent for a moment, "No." There was some fluctuation in his tone, "I don't want to avoid His Majesty, but, it's just that this matter is a matter of the harem, and it has a great relationship with the concubine Xian, so I came to report to the empress. .”

The emperor raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "Does it have something to do with Concubine Xian?"

"Yes."

The emperor's expression became more solemn, "Speak."

Zhang Xian paused for a moment, "I was sent by His Majesty a few days ago to take care of Ming Xiuyi's dragon fetus in place of Imperial Physician Gao Lin Gao. Because Imperial Physician Gao fell ill suddenly, it was too late to hand over the relevant matters to me. To be on the safe side, I consulted Ming Xiuyi. The medical records of the past three years have been recorded, and her daily diet list has also been checked. Then, I discovered a problem... "

The emperor narrowed his eyes, "What?"

Zhang Xian suddenly knelt down again and kowtowed heavily, his voice could not hide his shock, "I found out that the pregnancy of Empress Xiuyi two years ago was not as stable as the doctor Gao claimed..."

The emperor was expressionless, just staring at him intently, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Xiandao: "The prescriptions prescribed by Imperial Physician Gao seem to have no problems, but after careful analysis, I found that there are two unnecessary medicinal materials in each prescription. When I added those medicinal materials together, I found out that there are some inherent defects in them. utility."

Gu Yunxian frowned, "Is there something wrong with the birth-prevention medicine?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know that the anti-pregnancy medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Gao is not an ordinary anti-fetal medicine. It is very effective. Only, only people with unstable fetuses will take it..." Zhang Xian said in a deep voice, "So my minister I think that Empress Xiuyi should have revealed the danger of a miscarriage very early on that time, and Imperial Physician Gao prescribed those medicines in order to save the child for the time being..."

After Zhang Xian finished speaking, the emperor remained silent for a long time.

Gu Yunxian turned to look at the emperor, but saw that his face was sinking like water, his thin lips were tightly pursed, his black eyes were deep and deep, and he couldn't distinguish his emotions.

She got up suddenly and walked out without saying a word.

The emperor was shocked by Zhang Xian's words. Unexpectedly, Gu Yunxian would leave suddenly, and he was stunned for a moment before he realized it.

Ignoring Zhang Xian who was kneeling on the ground, he chased after him in a few steps.

Gu Yunxian's steps were too fast, and he left the main hall in a short while.When he finally grabbed her arm, the two were already standing in the hallway of Hanzhang Hall.

"What's wrong with you?" He said, "Walk so fast, what if you fall down? You are not alone now."

Gu Yunxian was forced to face him, but lowered his head firmly, without saying a word.

Seeing that her expression was different, the emperor recalled Zhang Xian's words, and couldn't help but sighed, "I know, this incident surprised you. Not only you, but I was also surprised. I really didn't expect that Yueniang would ..." As he spoke, he suddenly felt angry, and smiled coldly, "She did a good job of hiding it, and deceived so many of us."

Gu Yunxian remained silent.

The emperor stared at her, but saw her eyes drooping, which seemed to be filled with endless sorrow.

He has always been reluctant to guess a woman's mind, and it's only after being with her for two years that he gradually starts to care.Seeing her like this now, he probably understood her mood.

She was abolished because of Jiang's first child, and then she stayed in the position of concubine for more than two years and suffered a lot of twists and turns.

Seeing that the reset was imminent, and this matter was finally going to be completely over, someone suddenly came and told her that the child was going to die.

In her heart, she must feel very wronged, right?
"I know you feel wronged..." He whispered, trying to comfort her.

Gu Yunxian interrupted him, "No, I don't feel wronged."

The emperor was taken aback.

"Regardless of whether Yueniang's child survives or not, it is a fact that the concubine did nothing to save him, and it will not change anything because of this incident." She looked at the emperor, "The concubine did not do her best in the past. The aunt's responsibility."

He didn't expect her to think that way, and there was surprise in his eyes, "Then you just..."

"The concubine feels sorry for the child." Gu Yunxian said, "His mother only thought of him as a tool to invite favor and fight for power, and didn't think about him at all."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why do you say that?"

"Gu Yunxian smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, think about it, there are no ordinary people in this palace, and Gao Lin is not the best.Above him is Xue Changsong, and above him are the four imperial physicians from the Shang Yao Bureau.If she really thinks about this child, she should tell the matter and let all the medical officers treat her together.But she concealed it just because she was afraid that she would fall out of favor because of losing her child... "The tone was full of sarcasm and chill, "The concubine doesn't care about the child's life or death, because the concubine is not his mother; she doesn't care about the child's life or death, that's really chilling." "

The emperor's expression became colder and colder with her words, and in the end even his eyes were filled with cold anger.

Gu Yunxian turned his head and looked into the distance, as if he was still upset.

Only her calm eyes revealed her true emotions.

She thought of Jiang Yuechang's resentment and accusations against herself over the years.Those words really made her feel guilty many times.

But who would have thought that such a heart-wrenching loving mother's heart was mostly faked.

Naturally, Jiang Yuechang didn't hide this matter simply because she was afraid of falling out of favor.She should be afraid that the news of her unstable womb will spread, and those who hate her will be distracted.Anyway, the child may not be able to keep it. If it is really gone, His Majesty will not be too surprised.

Under such a mentality, people who didn't want to do it might do it.

That's her real concern.Gu Yunxian knew it in her heart, but it didn't prevent her from misinterpreting her intentions.

As she said to the emperor, no matter whether the dragon fetus is safe or not, it is a fact that she will not save the child.She failed to fulfill her aunt's responsibility and was punished later.

The abolition of the honorary position, coupled with the toss of the two generations, is enough.

Now, it was Jiang Yuechang's turn to pay the price for what she had done.

Gao Lin's illness was intentional, for nothing more than to change someone to take care of Ming Xiuyi's dragon fetus, so that he could look up the past medical records logically.

And what Zhang Xian said today was all at her behest.

Thanks to the dream that Jing Fushu had before her death, she knew that Zhang Xian had a very close relationship with King Ning.Now that King Ning is guilty of a crime and sent to Zhaoling to guard the mausoleum, Zhang Xian naturally dare not have anything to do with him.

As long as he is coerced and lured, he can be forced to work for him.
