Chapter 217 The End of the Palm of the Pearl Chapter
Chapter 217
After Gongsun Min made up his mind to try again, one day, he stopped Xi Liemo outside the Imperial Study Room who was about to return to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
She originally wanted to go into the imperial study.
When she was still young, the previous king had carried her in, the previous queen had taken her in, and her cousin Xi Liemo had also taken her to play in it.
But now, she was stopped outside the Imperial Study Room.
When she was a child, she used to be the imperial study of the Gongsun Mansion's study, which has become an insurmountable boundary for her now, just like she and her cousin, never going back to the beginning.
Gongsun Min stood outside the imperial study in a daze, staring at the closed heavy and solemn door, as if it had been a lifetime away.
After an unknown amount of time, the wooden door was pulled open, and Xi Liemo's tall and straight figure came out from inside. His unparalleled handsome face exuded a frightening radiance in the dark, like a god's mansion.
When he saw her, his thick eyebrows slanting into his temples frowned slightly, and a bit of impatience appeared from the corners of his slightly pursed mouth, which flashed past.
Gongsun Min's breathing stagnates with his movements, and the bitterness spreads from his chest, why has she never noticed it before?
"Cousin, I'm here to wait for my cousin, is there something urgent?"
His voice is still the most beautiful voice in her memory. She was deeply fascinated by it, dreaming that one day, he could use his sexy voice to tell the most beautiful love words in her ears.
However, it was very cold, without a trace of temperature. On such a hot night without a trace of wind, the surrounding air became a little colder because of his voice.
"Cousin," Gongsun Min could feel the dryness in her throat, and she struggled to moisten her throat, "Cousin hasn't been to my cousin's place for a long time, so why don't you take advantage of today's coincidence?"
Xi Liemo's eyebrows frowned even tighter, "Cousin, cousin promised the queen to have dinner with her today, so it's not good to miss the appointment. Cousin will go back first, and cousin will go next time when he has a chance."
"Cousin, have you decided not to come to the cousin's palace anymore?" Gongsun Min stared at his face obsessively, not letting go of any slight changes on his face.
Maybe it's because her expression is too focused, in the dark sky, you can see those eyes full of fascination, as pure as water, Xi Liemo, who was supposed to be perfunctory as usual, suddenly doesn't want to make any more promises to her Some ambiguous promises, too.
Gongsun Min is different from Helan Qingcheng, Huyan Yunxi, and Huyan Yunting. From the very beginning, she entered the palace purely.
Perhaps when Gongsun Yu sent her to the palace, one was to fulfill Gongsun Min's wish, and the other was for the benefit of the Gongsun family.
But Gongsun Min was pure, and her feelings for her cousin were pure. Although Xi Liemo had no other thoughts about her, he never doubted this.
At this moment, long-lost pity rose from the bottom of his heart.Gongsun Min, he used to be his cousin like his own sister!
She never changed to him, he was the one who changed, even if he didn't want to reciprocate her love, she was still his cousin!
"Xiao Min, go back." He changed into a title that she had never used since entering the palace.
The long-lost tenderness made Gongsun Min's tears fall unexpectedly.
There is no need to say anything.
Xi Liemo passed her and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony, his steps were firm.
The palace lantern had already been lit, and the hazy yellow light made his shadow longer and longer, shaking and jumping with his movements, it was a beautiful illusion that she would never be able to grasp.
Gongsun Min watched quietly for a while, until the shadow completely disappeared, then slowly turned and walked towards her own bedroom.
The expression on her face seemed relieved and unwilling, no one knew what kind of emotions she was in at the moment, maybe even she herself didn't know.
-
In this way, more than three months passed peacefully, and Zhangzhu's stomach has been more than five months, and the little prince in his stomach began to move.
As the most honorable prince in the world, he obviously has the capital to be arrogant.
So I only move when I want to move, and when I don't want to move, I don't move for a few days. Even if Zhangzhu and Xi Liemo kept talking to him while stroking their stomachs, there was still no response.
Zhangzhu didn't know if it was the same when other people's children were in the womb, so she didn't feel much about it.
Gongmao would mutter a few words in private: After the little prince is born, he will probably be a difficult master to serve.
On the surface, the palace and the imperial court were calm and there was no movement, but the public was extremely hot.
Circus troupes and jade factories have gradually spread to all corners of Xiqiang, and not only the country of Li, but Mixing, Cangyue, Wuyi and other countries have also done business with them.
Of course, it was Li Guo who took the biggest lead.
The jade wares produced by the circus troupe and the jade factory had already arrived in the capital of the Li Kingdom. When His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress knew that all of this was the idea of Zhangzhu, they thought about it and were very proud. They deserved to be the Princess Zhangzhu of the Li Kingdom!
Those outstanding farmers who have been selected have also achieved gratifying results. They use their own experience to distinguish which land is suitable for growing food, which land is suitable for sending sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes that can be used as food crops, and how to make barren land become be fertile.
It is now the beginning of October, and the field is no longer suitable for planting other crops except wheat. The specific results will not be seen until the nationwide promotion in March next year.
But the people saw hope, and they believed that their king and queen would make it all come true!
With silver, there will be food soon, and the Xiqiang people are prosperous like never before.
Everyone was grateful for the kindness of the King and Queen, and prayed to God for the Queen to give birth to the little prince smoothly.
Under the calm surface, the waves are treacherous, and the claws of the three major families and Xi Lingyun have secretly extended into the palace.
Even though Xi Liemo stepped up his guard again and again, it was still impossible to guard against.
On this day, when Madam Gong went to the imperial dining room to check the meals as usual, a palace maid accidentally bumped into her.
"I'm sorry! Mammy, the servant was distracted for a moment and accidentally bumped into Mammy, please forgive me!" The maid hurriedly apologized.
Grandma Gong took a closer look, but she was an acquaintance, the white robe beside Gongsun Min.
Grandma Gong didn't meet her many times, but she had a good impression of her. She must be a smart girl who can persuade Gongsun Min who is sometimes confused.
Bai Yi hurriedly saluted, and was about to kneel down on the ground, Gong Nai stretched out her hand to support her.
The sleeves were intertwined, and something was placed in the palm of his hand.
Gong Nai helped her up calmly, "I'm fine, be careful in the future, don't bump into other people!"
"Yes! Mommy, thank you for your kindness." Bai Yi stood up and said gratefully.
"Are you here to pick up meals for the princess? It's getting late, go back quickly."
"Yes, Mammy."
After Bai Yi left, Madam Gong did not leave immediately, but as usual, carefully checked all the dishes in the small kitchen specially prepared for Zhang Zhu.
After everything was done, Madam Gong walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
As soon as she entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Madam Gong's pace was obviously faster. She quickly returned to her room, took out the note that was given to her by the white clothes, and began to read it.
At a glance, his complexion changed drastically.
Gong Nai got up and pushed open the door, and said to the palace people outside in a deep voice: "Go and ask for Liu Yu doctor, she said that the queen is not feeling well."
The queen is not feeling well?This is a big deal!When the palace people heard this, they hurriedly ran out of the palace.
Gong Nai took the note and came to Zhang Zhu's bedroom. Zhang Zhu and Xi Lie Mo were having dinner, and Ru'an was waiting by the side.
"Mommy, is there something wrong?" Mammy Gong usually doesn't show up when they are eating, and when she does, there must be something wrong, Zhang Zhu put down her chopsticks and asked.
Gong Nai lowered her head, "Queen, finish your meal first."
The matter is not only very important, but also very serious, but before it happens, the little prince in the stomach is more important.
Since the queen was pregnant, her appetite had not improved until last month.
"It's almost the same, I don't have much appetite today."
Xi Liemo is a man, he eats food faster, he finished his meal very quickly, he just accompanied Zhang Zhu, and said after hearing the words: "Let's take it down first, and prepare some by myself when I'm hungry at night."
"Yes!" Ru'an replied.
After Ru'an took the food away with someone, Zhang Zhu lay down on the small couch, and said to Gongmao: "Mama, you may as well speak up if you have something to say!"
"Your Majesty, Queen, please wait for a moment, this old slave even called someone to come." Gong Nai's expression was extremely serious.
It seems to be a very important thing!Zhangzhu nodded, and said nothing more.
After a while, Ru'an's voice came from outside the door, "Queen, Doctor Liu is here to see you."
"come in."
"My minister has seen the king and the queen." Because it was private, Imperial Physician Liu saluted briefly, and gestured to the maid at the side, "I heard that the queen is not feeling well, can you tell me what is uncomfortable?" ?”
Zhang Zhu looked at Gong Nai in surprise, and Gong Nai said: "Queen, this old slave used this excuse to call Liu Yu doctor here, because there is something that needs to be verified by Liu Yu doctor!"
She took out the small piece of paper from her sleeve, held it in both hands and handed it to Zhangzhu: "Queen, this was secretly given to the old slave by a court lady today. The old slave dare not tell whether it is true or false, but it is related to the queen and the little girl." Prince, I dare not hide anything, so I found an excuse to call Imperial Doctor Liu to confirm."
Zhang Zhu took it and looked at it, he was startled, his complexion paled quickly, and then handed it to Xi Liemo who was beside him.
After a glance, Xi Liemo's face changed drastically, covered with a layer of coldness, and the entire dormitory was filled with the anger and gloom emanating from him.
Nanny Gong and Yuyi Liu had never seen Xi Liemo so full of aura, they were shocked for a moment and dared not speak.
Zhangzhu's fearful mood after seeing it for the first time has calmed down a lot. She covered Xi Liemo's hand and said softly: "Your Majesty, let Yuyi Liu check the situation first."
The chill on Xi Liemo's body receded slightly, and he handed the note in his hand to Imperial Physician Liu.
Doctor Liu raised his hands up, took it tremblingly, and stared at the words on the note, his face paled in shock.
Grandma Gong said loudly to Ru'an outside: "Ru'an, go and bring the queen's anti-fetal medicine."
"Mommy, the servant just went to see it, it will take a while." Ru An outside the door replied.
"No need, bring it here like this." Gong Nai said: "There is also the rest of the medicine, bring it together."
The smart Ru'an heard this, and realized that something might have happened, and immediately said: "Yes, mother, the servant will bring it right away."
Ru'an quickly brought the unfinished medicine and the unused medicinal materials. Just in case, Ru'an went to get it in person.
At this time, Gong Nai didn't have the time to appreciate Ru'an's intelligence, so she hurriedly handed these two things over to Imperial Physician Liu, and told Ru'an again: "Ru'an, go get some water."
"Yes!" Ruan didn't ask any more questions, and hurriedly took orders and left.
Doctor Liu poured out some of the unprepared medicine, smelled it, and tasted it, his expression slowly becoming heavy.
Then he smelled and tasted each of the unused medicinal materials, and soon, fine sweat began to ooze from his forehead.
In the end, Khan didn't care to wipe it off, and knelt on the ground with a thump of his legs, "It's my negligence, please forgive the king and queen!"
"Get up." Zhang Zhu said warmly: "This method of poisoning is too subtle, it has nothing to do with Liu Yuyi and you."
"Thank you, Queen!" Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stood up tremblingly, "Queen, your body is in good shape, and you have taken good care of it during pregnancy. It's okay if you don't drink this anti-fetal medicine."
"Keep drinking!" Xi Liemo suddenly uttered a voice, which startled Liu Yuyi and Gong Nai, "Since the other party did not hesitate to soak all the anti-abortion medicinal materials in this capital with the secret medicine once, it means that there is a premeditated plan. How can you let it go?
Instead of stopping the medicine and letting the other party think of another strategy, which is impossible to guard against, it is better to use the strategy and follow this clue to find the opportunity to catch those people! "
"I agree with Your Majesty's opinion!" Zhang Zhu said: "This medicine is prescribed, and it will be brought to the Hall of Supreme Harmony on time every day, and it will be poured. Outsiders can't know whether I drink it or not, and it can still confuse the other party for the time being. "
"The medicinal materials made from this secret medicine are not harmful to pregnant women if they are boiled in ordinary water; the medicine from the well in the palace is also harmless if drunk alone.
But after these two things are mixed together, pregnant women drink it, and their body qi and blood will gradually weaken. After a long time, they will easily collapse and have accidents during childbirth. "
Doctor Liu felt chills down his spine when he thought about it, "This method is poisonous, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch it!"
The largest medicinal material dealer in the market is the Helan family.
Just relying on this point alone, the Helan family cannot be convicted, because the secret medicine is generally harmless to people.
Xi Liemo knew this very well, and he said coldly to the maid: "Try to find a way to quietly bring the maid who conveyed this news to you, this king wants to ask her personally, what else do you know?"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
-
In the middle of the night, the sleeping Bai Yi was suddenly covered by someone. She struggled vigorously in panic, and then a female voice whispered in her ear: "Don't move, Your Majesty wants to see you!"
Bai Yi fell silent.She had heard that voice before, it was Ayu, the female guard beside the queen.
She sat up, put on her coat, and silently followed behind Ayu, quietly avoiding the eyes of all the guards, and came to the side room of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Xi Liemo was sitting in the middle, with a terrifying aura, when the white clothes saw him, he immediately knelt down, "I have seen the king!"
"Tell me everything you know!" Xi Liemo's voice was not loud, but the bitterness in that voice made Bai Yi's whole body shudder.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Bai Yi said: "A few days ago, Patriarch Gongsun sent someone to take the Eldest Princess back to the mansion, saying that he missed her for a long time, the Eldest Concubine did not doubt that he had him, and brought her slaves back to the mansion.
When he was about to leave, Patriarch Gongsun called the princess to the study.After the princess came out, her expression was in a trance, and she didn't say a word until she returned to the palace.
When he was about to go to bed at night, he suddenly asked the servant: "Bai Yi, do you think there is really a medicine in this world that can make people ugly?"
At that time, the servant did not understand what the princess meant and was about to ask her, but the princess turned around and stopped answering the servant.
The servant could not sleep all night because of the words of the princess. The princess was very clear about many things, but once she encountered something related to the king, she would become a little confused.
The slave was worried that the princess would do something wrong in a moment of confusion, so she asked the princess again the next morning, what did that sentence mean last night?
The eldest princess said that she didn't say anything last night, it was the servant who heard it wrong.The more the slaves thought about it, the more something was wrong, but the princess denied it flatly, the slaves had no choice but to keep an eye on the princess' movements.
In those few days, the princess was very silent, she often lost her mind, and the servants called her many times but couldn't hear her.
So the servant became more and more worried, and did not dare to sleep soundly at night, and always listened to the movement in the princess' room.Finally two days later at night, I saw the princess get up in the middle of the night, quietly went to the imperial kitchen, and poured something into the well.
The servant girl was frightened out of her wits, fearing that the princess would poison the well because of love and hate, so she hurriedly fetched a bucket of water from the well, found some cats, and let the cats drink the water.
After waiting all night, the cat was fine, and the servant guessed that it was not a fatal poison.
But the servants were worried, and took breakfast from the imperial kitchen for the princess, specifically explaining that it was specially made by the imperial dining room this morning, the princess didn't show any expression when she heard this, so she picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
The slaves became more and more sure that the things the princess put in the well were not poisonous, but the princess was troubled by this matter for a few days, and then went secretly in the middle of the night, there must be something wrong.
Later, the servant girl remembered that the princess once asked if there is any medicine in this world that can make people ugly, and suddenly thought of the queen.
The queen's appearance is unparalleled in the world. The princess once said that if she had the queen's face, the king would favor her.
Therefore, the servant guessed that the medicine might be targeted at the queen, but the princess also took it herself. Isn't she worried that her appearance will also change?
The servant girl thought about it for a few days and couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until the day before yesterday when she met Ru'an who was holding the anti-fetal medicine in the imperial dining room, that she suddenly realized that the queen is pregnant now. She can eat some things, but the princess can't. Such as birth control pills.
If some tricks are done on the medicinal materials, and the water that has been tampered with is used, and the two phases are mixed, it may really produce some unpredictable effects.
In fact, the slave girl is not sure, but thinking that if this matter is not true, it will be a false alarm at most. If it is true, she can ask the king and queen to save the princess from the crime because of the slave servant's contribution.
The eldest princess definitely didn't know what effect those two medicines would have on the queen's body, she must have been coaxed into a moment of confusion before taking the medicine. "
"Why are you so sure that there is something wrong with the medicine, not just the medicine that makes the queen ugly?" In the oppressive space, the majestic man's voice was clear and unusual.
The white-clothed head hung even lower, "Your Majesty, the Great Concubine was blinded for a while, and she didn't want to think about the loopholes in it, but the slave girl knew very well in her heart that if there is really a medicine to make people ugly in this world, it doesn't need to be used sooner or later, why should it be used?" Only used when the queen is pregnant in June?
If the medicine is found now, it can be used after the queen gives birth to the prince. At that time, the princess needs to take care of her body, and she will definitely drink the medicine, so there is a chance.
Rather than using it at this time, it means that there must be other tricks in it, so the servants will tell the maid about this idea. "
Xi Liemo said: "Bai Yi, it's not a short time for you to be with the princess. The princess has always regarded you as a confidant, but just now you seem to be thinking about the princess. Then the king has something to do." I don't understand, if that's the case, why did you betray the Great Princess?"
His voice was very steady, no emotion could be heard, but Bai Yi could hear suspicion from the words.
She smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, this servant belongs to the Great Princess, and this servant is very aware of the kindness that the Great Princess treats this servant, and because of this, this servant cannot just sit and watch as the First Princess is deceived and used by others!
What's more, the maidservant cherishes his life, if this incident causes irreparable damage in the end, and the king finds out that the princess has participated in it, the princess will die, and so will the servant girl.
The servant girl's parents died since she was a child, and her only younger brother joined the Lian Family Army three years ago. The servant girl hopes to live to see him get married and have children!Please also ask your Majesty to observe clearly! "
There was a moment of silence in the room, and then the cold and majestic voice sounded again, "What else do you know?"
Bai Yi said: "Other things, slaves don't know anything! Patriarch Gongsun loves the princess very much, and will not let the princess participate in many bad things, and will not let her know!
Besides, the eldest princess is kind-hearted, except that she is a bit arrogant and irritable when encountering unsatisfactory things, most of the time, she is a very good master, and she will never torture her servants when she gets angry!
If she was clearly told to do something harmful to nature, the princess would never agree no matter what!Therefore, other things, the slaves really don't know. "
"This king knows, keep an eye on the princess during these days, don't let her make mistakes again!"
"The slaves obey!"
The matter of administering the medicine was temporarily concealed. In order not to let outsiders suspect, Zhang Zhu pretended to be weak when he was outside, and called the imperial doctor a lot more times than usual.
After the news spread, Xi Lingyun and the three major families who planned this matter were secretly delighted.
Now Xi Lingyun has completely abandoned the beauty Zhangzhu for the sake of Jiangshan.
After all, there is only one country, but there are countless beauties.
No matter how reluctant he is to give up his unparalleled face, he will never lose his country for a beauty like Xi Liemo.
Another reason why he didn't give up Zhangzhu was because Huyan Yunting was pregnant.
There are only four princesses in the Ling Palace, and there has been no news of Concubine Ji being pregnant for more than a year.
Now that Huyan Yunting is pregnant, it is a good sign for Xi Lingyun who wants to succeed!
Moreover, he had also heard about the fact that Huyan Yunting could easily win a boy in one fell swoop, so he was very sure that this baby must be a boy!
Huyan Yunting is now nearly four months pregnant. When she first started to conceive, she was afraid for a long time, for fear that the people in the palace would find out and tell Xi Liemo to cut off her head!
After two or three months, Huyan Yunting finally couldn't help telling Xi Lingyun.
Surprised, Xi Lingyun was overjoyed, and immediately went to the doctor secretly to feel the pulse, prescribed medicine to recuperate her body, and bought a large number of precious pearls, hairpins and jade for her to express his joy for her and the baby in his belly.
Xi Lingyun's attitude reassured Huyan Yunting a lot, especially when he promised that he would find a way to take her out of the palace at the latest after the next year.
After the next year, Huyan Yunting was five months pregnant, but it was cold and she wore more clothes, so she would not be easily spotted if she didn't go out.
Someone helped her think about everything, so Huyan Yunting raised her baby in the dormitory with peace of mind, going out every ten days and a half months, and asked the doctor Xi Lingyun found to help her diagnose the pulse and confirm the condition of the baby in her womb.
On this day, it was time to leave the palace again.
Huyan Yunting came to Xi Lingyun's newly bought house, and Xi Lingyun and the doctor were waiting for her.
As soon as he saw her, he immediately went up to meet her, put his arms around her waist, and asked her in a low voice how she was doing these days?Has the child in my belly ever been obedient and so on.
Huyan Yunting enjoyed the treatment of being held in the palm of his hand very much, and the two started talking about some daily trivial matters like a real couple.
After taking the pulse, the doctor said everything was fine, prescribed some tonics and left.
Huyan Yunting leaned against Xi Lingyun's arms, let him caress her stomach, and murmured to the child in her belly.
Because she was pregnant with his child and very likely to be a boy, Xi Lingyun was satisfied, so he wanted to please her.
He gently helped Huyan Yunting straighten her clothes, held her hand, and planned to send her to the gate.
The moment the door opened, he met the woman standing at the door with a blank expression and a thin face.
That woman is obviously Helan Qingcheng.
When the three of them met, they were all stunned.
Xi Lingyun came to his senses first, and pulled Huyan Yunting behind him. The protective posture made He Lan Qingcheng red-eyed.
She pointed to Huyan Yunting behind Xi Lingyun, and asked, "My lord, why is she here?"
Xi Lingyun's head grew dizzy for a while, and he didn't know how to answer. Huyan Yunting poked her head out and said strangely: "Third Princess, why are you here?"
Helan Qingcheng's attitude was too obvious, no matter how stupid Huyan Yunting was, she knew that she had something to do with Xi Lingyun.
But now that Xi Lingyun's heart is on her, she naturally wants to protect her man.
He Lan Qingcheng was trembling with anger, and said with a sneer: "No wonder the prince has always found reasons to avoid this concubine these past few months, so it turns out that he has a new love!"
He Lan Qingcheng was very clear about Xi Lingyun's plan at the beginning. Although he has lost interest in her now, this alliance cannot be torn apart for the time being.
Xi Lingyun took Helan Qingcheng's hand and said softly, "Qingcheng, it's not what you think."
"It's not what the concubine thinks, what is that?" He Lan Qingcheng raised her chin, mockingly said: "Dare you say, you have nothing to do with that woman?"
Xi Lingyun was left speechless by the question, and Huyan Yunting behind him became angry when he heard that, what do you mean, Xi Lingyun?You talked sweetly to me just now, and then turned around and whispered to another woman?Let her despise him like this?
Huyan Yunting was overwhelmed with anger, she stroked her belly with one hand and her waist with the other, and let out an "Aiyo".
Now there is nothing more important than the child in Huyan Yunting's stomach.
Hearing her groan, Xi Lingyun quickly let go of Helan Qingcheng's hand, turned around and supported Huyan Yunting, with concern on his face and voice, "Ting'er, is your stomach okay?"
"My lord, I've been standing for a long time, and my stomach hurts a little." Huyan Yunting said softly on purpose.
Upon hearing the pain in her stomach, Xi Lingyun hurriedly hugged her, becoming more nervous, "Do you want the doctor to come back and have a look?"
Huyan Yunting took advantage of the situation and fell into his arms, and proudly raised her face at Helan Qingcheng, but her voice was sweeter, "It's okay, my lord, just let me rely on you."
Xi Lingyun was still worried, "This can't be done! If you hurt the baby in your stomach, it won't work, this king will ask the doctor to come back right away!"
The sweet and loving scene caused Helan Qingcheng's heart to ache, she rushed forward and grabbed Huyan Yunting's arm vigorously, about to pull her away from Xi Lingyun's embrace, "You bitch, get out of here! "
Under the madness, Helan Qingcheng was very strong, Xi Lingyun was afraid that she would accidentally hurt the child in Huyan Yunting's stomach, so he hurriedly pinched Helan Qingcheng's wrist, trying to make her let go of Huyan Yunting.
Xi Lingyun's protective behavior for fear of hurting her sweetheart made Helan Qingcheng even more crazy. She lowered her head without hesitation, opened her mouth to bite Xi Lingyun and grabbed her wrist.
Xi Lingyun let out a muffled groan, a tingling pain came from his wrist, his anger surged up like a tide, and he cursed in his heart: This crazy woman!
Helan Qingcheng bit hard, as if to tear him apart, Xi Lingyun had no choice but to grab Helan Qingcheng's neck with his other hand, trying to make her let go.
Helan Qingcheng, who was breathing more and more rapidly, suddenly remembered the scene where Xi Lingyun killed Luo Ke, the maid beside Huyan Yunxi that day.
I couldn't help but have a thought in my heart: Xi Lingyun doesn't want to kill her, does she?
She let go of Xi Lingyun's mouth, and grabbed Huyan Yunting's hand, and with both hands forcefully pulled away Xi Lingyun's palm that was pinching her neck.
Xi Lingyun just wanted Helan Qingcheng to let go, but his subordinates didn't use enough strength, and let go after a tug.
Helan Qingcheng took two steps back, glanced at Xi Lingyun with extremely frightened eyes, then screamed and ran out.
After a lot of tossing, Huyan Yunting really felt uncomfortable in her stomach.
Xi Lingyun ignored He Lan Qingcheng, and immediately helped her into the house, and called for a doctor immediately.
"My lord, what is your relationship with the third concubine?" Huyan Yunting lay on the bed and asked slightly sourly.
Xi Lingyun said softly: "It's all in the past, I only have Ting'er in my heart now."
Huyan Yunting believed this, Xi Lingyun's action of protecting her just now had already explained everything, but as a woman, she always hoped that a man could personally say the promise to feel at ease.
Now that Xi Lingyun said what Huyan Yunting wanted to hear, she no longer pursued the matter between him and He Lan, but worried: "My lord, will the third princess tell us about us? Will not spare us lightly!"
"It's okay, Ting'er, I will take care of this matter." Xi Lingyun comforted.
Originally, he never thought that Helan Qingcheng would tell the matter between him and Huyan Yunting. After all, she, Helan Qingcheng, was also his slave. To half the benefits!
But after being reminded by Huyan Yunting, Xi Lingyun thought of Helan Qingcheng's semi-crazy behavior just now, and suddenly felt that if she went crazy and sued Xi Liemo, not only would she tell about his relationship with Huyan Yunting, maybe He will also mention his plan to rebel!
Xi Lingyun, who has many concubines in the mansion, knows very well how terrible the means are and how determined the will is if a woman goes crazy because of love.
"Ting'er, you lie down first, the king is going to see if the doctor is here?" Xi Lingyun's back was slightly cold, and before Huyan Yunting could make a sound, he got up and walked towards the door.
The moment he turned around, all the tenderness on his face disappeared, revealing vicious and cold eyes.
After going out the door, he immediately called the guard leader, and said in a dark voice: "Immediately find the third concubine, lock her up first, and definitely not let her go back to the palace!"
"Yes!"
"If she resists," Xi Lingyun said coldly, "Kill without mercy!"
The leader of the guards was startled, cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
-
Helan Qingcheng disappeared just like that, not in the palace, not in Helan Mansion.
Both Xi Liemo and the Helan family sent people out to search, but Xilingyun's people searched secretly, but there was still no news of Helan Qingcheng.
Xi Lingyun thought of Helan Qingcheng's insanity for the past six months, and guessed that she might have really gone crazy suddenly and had already died outside.
This is better, so as not to get his hands dirty, and he has to find a way to hide it!The former affection disappeared without a trace like running water, Xi Lingyun not only has no affection for her at all, but hopes that she will really die like this.
However, just in case, he did not relax his pursuit of Helan Qingcheng.
After all, now has come to the most critical moment, he can't be surprised.
At the beginning of December, news came from the palace that the queen's body was weaker than before.
The imperial doctor said that some women would be like this when they were pregnant, and asked the queen to lie on the bed and rest more, and not to walk around if there was nothing to do, and prescribed a lot of tonics.
At the same time, Xi Lingyun secretly sent someone to spread the news to Li Guo's palace, and exaggerated the real situation of the queen.
In fact, it can't be considered an exaggeration. After all, the queen's health is getting worse day by day, and Xiqiang is far away from Li country. He sent someone to tell the situation of His Majesty the emperor of Li country, which is the real situation that will happen.
As expected, the emperor of the Li Kingdom heard that Princess Zhangzhu was unhappy in the Western Qiang harem, and she was getting thinner day by day after she was pregnant with the prince, to the point where the oil lamp was exhausted, and he was furious with heartache.
Immediately ordered Weiyuan Grand Marshal Du Feng to assemble 30 troops and send troops to Xiqiang to seek justice for the beloved Princess Zhangzhu!
(End of this chapter)
After Gongsun Min made up his mind to try again, one day, he stopped Xi Liemo outside the Imperial Study Room who was about to return to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
She originally wanted to go into the imperial study.
When she was still young, the previous king had carried her in, the previous queen had taken her in, and her cousin Xi Liemo had also taken her to play in it.
But now, she was stopped outside the Imperial Study Room.
When she was a child, she used to be the imperial study of the Gongsun Mansion's study, which has become an insurmountable boundary for her now, just like she and her cousin, never going back to the beginning.
Gongsun Min stood outside the imperial study in a daze, staring at the closed heavy and solemn door, as if it had been a lifetime away.
After an unknown amount of time, the wooden door was pulled open, and Xi Liemo's tall and straight figure came out from inside. His unparalleled handsome face exuded a frightening radiance in the dark, like a god's mansion.
When he saw her, his thick eyebrows slanting into his temples frowned slightly, and a bit of impatience appeared from the corners of his slightly pursed mouth, which flashed past.
Gongsun Min's breathing stagnates with his movements, and the bitterness spreads from his chest, why has she never noticed it before?
"Cousin, I'm here to wait for my cousin, is there something urgent?"
His voice is still the most beautiful voice in her memory. She was deeply fascinated by it, dreaming that one day, he could use his sexy voice to tell the most beautiful love words in her ears.
However, it was very cold, without a trace of temperature. On such a hot night without a trace of wind, the surrounding air became a little colder because of his voice.
"Cousin," Gongsun Min could feel the dryness in her throat, and she struggled to moisten her throat, "Cousin hasn't been to my cousin's place for a long time, so why don't you take advantage of today's coincidence?"
Xi Liemo's eyebrows frowned even tighter, "Cousin, cousin promised the queen to have dinner with her today, so it's not good to miss the appointment. Cousin will go back first, and cousin will go next time when he has a chance."
"Cousin, have you decided not to come to the cousin's palace anymore?" Gongsun Min stared at his face obsessively, not letting go of any slight changes on his face.
Maybe it's because her expression is too focused, in the dark sky, you can see those eyes full of fascination, as pure as water, Xi Liemo, who was supposed to be perfunctory as usual, suddenly doesn't want to make any more promises to her Some ambiguous promises, too.
Gongsun Min is different from Helan Qingcheng, Huyan Yunxi, and Huyan Yunting. From the very beginning, she entered the palace purely.
Perhaps when Gongsun Yu sent her to the palace, one was to fulfill Gongsun Min's wish, and the other was for the benefit of the Gongsun family.
But Gongsun Min was pure, and her feelings for her cousin were pure. Although Xi Liemo had no other thoughts about her, he never doubted this.
At this moment, long-lost pity rose from the bottom of his heart.Gongsun Min, he used to be his cousin like his own sister!
She never changed to him, he was the one who changed, even if he didn't want to reciprocate her love, she was still his cousin!
"Xiao Min, go back." He changed into a title that she had never used since entering the palace.
The long-lost tenderness made Gongsun Min's tears fall unexpectedly.
There is no need to say anything.
Xi Liemo passed her and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony, his steps were firm.
The palace lantern had already been lit, and the hazy yellow light made his shadow longer and longer, shaking and jumping with his movements, it was a beautiful illusion that she would never be able to grasp.
Gongsun Min watched quietly for a while, until the shadow completely disappeared, then slowly turned and walked towards her own bedroom.
The expression on her face seemed relieved and unwilling, no one knew what kind of emotions she was in at the moment, maybe even she herself didn't know.
-
In this way, more than three months passed peacefully, and Zhangzhu's stomach has been more than five months, and the little prince in his stomach began to move.
As the most honorable prince in the world, he obviously has the capital to be arrogant.
So I only move when I want to move, and when I don't want to move, I don't move for a few days. Even if Zhangzhu and Xi Liemo kept talking to him while stroking their stomachs, there was still no response.
Zhangzhu didn't know if it was the same when other people's children were in the womb, so she didn't feel much about it.
Gongmao would mutter a few words in private: After the little prince is born, he will probably be a difficult master to serve.
On the surface, the palace and the imperial court were calm and there was no movement, but the public was extremely hot.
Circus troupes and jade factories have gradually spread to all corners of Xiqiang, and not only the country of Li, but Mixing, Cangyue, Wuyi and other countries have also done business with them.
Of course, it was Li Guo who took the biggest lead.
The jade wares produced by the circus troupe and the jade factory had already arrived in the capital of the Li Kingdom. When His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress knew that all of this was the idea of Zhangzhu, they thought about it and were very proud. They deserved to be the Princess Zhangzhu of the Li Kingdom!
Those outstanding farmers who have been selected have also achieved gratifying results. They use their own experience to distinguish which land is suitable for growing food, which land is suitable for sending sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes that can be used as food crops, and how to make barren land become be fertile.
It is now the beginning of October, and the field is no longer suitable for planting other crops except wheat. The specific results will not be seen until the nationwide promotion in March next year.
But the people saw hope, and they believed that their king and queen would make it all come true!
With silver, there will be food soon, and the Xiqiang people are prosperous like never before.
Everyone was grateful for the kindness of the King and Queen, and prayed to God for the Queen to give birth to the little prince smoothly.
Under the calm surface, the waves are treacherous, and the claws of the three major families and Xi Lingyun have secretly extended into the palace.
Even though Xi Liemo stepped up his guard again and again, it was still impossible to guard against.
On this day, when Madam Gong went to the imperial dining room to check the meals as usual, a palace maid accidentally bumped into her.
"I'm sorry! Mammy, the servant was distracted for a moment and accidentally bumped into Mammy, please forgive me!" The maid hurriedly apologized.
Grandma Gong took a closer look, but she was an acquaintance, the white robe beside Gongsun Min.
Grandma Gong didn't meet her many times, but she had a good impression of her. She must be a smart girl who can persuade Gongsun Min who is sometimes confused.
Bai Yi hurriedly saluted, and was about to kneel down on the ground, Gong Nai stretched out her hand to support her.
The sleeves were intertwined, and something was placed in the palm of his hand.
Gong Nai helped her up calmly, "I'm fine, be careful in the future, don't bump into other people!"
"Yes! Mommy, thank you for your kindness." Bai Yi stood up and said gratefully.
"Are you here to pick up meals for the princess? It's getting late, go back quickly."
"Yes, Mammy."
After Bai Yi left, Madam Gong did not leave immediately, but as usual, carefully checked all the dishes in the small kitchen specially prepared for Zhang Zhu.
After everything was done, Madam Gong walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
As soon as she entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Madam Gong's pace was obviously faster. She quickly returned to her room, took out the note that was given to her by the white clothes, and began to read it.
At a glance, his complexion changed drastically.
Gong Nai got up and pushed open the door, and said to the palace people outside in a deep voice: "Go and ask for Liu Yu doctor, she said that the queen is not feeling well."
The queen is not feeling well?This is a big deal!When the palace people heard this, they hurriedly ran out of the palace.
Gong Nai took the note and came to Zhang Zhu's bedroom. Zhang Zhu and Xi Lie Mo were having dinner, and Ru'an was waiting by the side.
"Mommy, is there something wrong?" Mammy Gong usually doesn't show up when they are eating, and when she does, there must be something wrong, Zhang Zhu put down her chopsticks and asked.
Gong Nai lowered her head, "Queen, finish your meal first."
The matter is not only very important, but also very serious, but before it happens, the little prince in the stomach is more important.
Since the queen was pregnant, her appetite had not improved until last month.
"It's almost the same, I don't have much appetite today."
Xi Liemo is a man, he eats food faster, he finished his meal very quickly, he just accompanied Zhang Zhu, and said after hearing the words: "Let's take it down first, and prepare some by myself when I'm hungry at night."
"Yes!" Ru'an replied.
After Ru'an took the food away with someone, Zhang Zhu lay down on the small couch, and said to Gongmao: "Mama, you may as well speak up if you have something to say!"
"Your Majesty, Queen, please wait for a moment, this old slave even called someone to come." Gong Nai's expression was extremely serious.
It seems to be a very important thing!Zhangzhu nodded, and said nothing more.
After a while, Ru'an's voice came from outside the door, "Queen, Doctor Liu is here to see you."
"come in."
"My minister has seen the king and the queen." Because it was private, Imperial Physician Liu saluted briefly, and gestured to the maid at the side, "I heard that the queen is not feeling well, can you tell me what is uncomfortable?" ?”
Zhang Zhu looked at Gong Nai in surprise, and Gong Nai said: "Queen, this old slave used this excuse to call Liu Yu doctor here, because there is something that needs to be verified by Liu Yu doctor!"
She took out the small piece of paper from her sleeve, held it in both hands and handed it to Zhangzhu: "Queen, this was secretly given to the old slave by a court lady today. The old slave dare not tell whether it is true or false, but it is related to the queen and the little girl." Prince, I dare not hide anything, so I found an excuse to call Imperial Doctor Liu to confirm."
Zhang Zhu took it and looked at it, he was startled, his complexion paled quickly, and then handed it to Xi Liemo who was beside him.
After a glance, Xi Liemo's face changed drastically, covered with a layer of coldness, and the entire dormitory was filled with the anger and gloom emanating from him.
Nanny Gong and Yuyi Liu had never seen Xi Liemo so full of aura, they were shocked for a moment and dared not speak.
Zhangzhu's fearful mood after seeing it for the first time has calmed down a lot. She covered Xi Liemo's hand and said softly: "Your Majesty, let Yuyi Liu check the situation first."
The chill on Xi Liemo's body receded slightly, and he handed the note in his hand to Imperial Physician Liu.
Doctor Liu raised his hands up, took it tremblingly, and stared at the words on the note, his face paled in shock.
Grandma Gong said loudly to Ru'an outside: "Ru'an, go and bring the queen's anti-fetal medicine."
"Mommy, the servant just went to see it, it will take a while." Ru An outside the door replied.
"No need, bring it here like this." Gong Nai said: "There is also the rest of the medicine, bring it together."
The smart Ru'an heard this, and realized that something might have happened, and immediately said: "Yes, mother, the servant will bring it right away."
Ru'an quickly brought the unfinished medicine and the unused medicinal materials. Just in case, Ru'an went to get it in person.
At this time, Gong Nai didn't have the time to appreciate Ru'an's intelligence, so she hurriedly handed these two things over to Imperial Physician Liu, and told Ru'an again: "Ru'an, go get some water."
"Yes!" Ruan didn't ask any more questions, and hurriedly took orders and left.
Doctor Liu poured out some of the unprepared medicine, smelled it, and tasted it, his expression slowly becoming heavy.
Then he smelled and tasted each of the unused medicinal materials, and soon, fine sweat began to ooze from his forehead.
In the end, Khan didn't care to wipe it off, and knelt on the ground with a thump of his legs, "It's my negligence, please forgive the king and queen!"
"Get up." Zhang Zhu said warmly: "This method of poisoning is too subtle, it has nothing to do with Liu Yuyi and you."
"Thank you, Queen!" Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stood up tremblingly, "Queen, your body is in good shape, and you have taken good care of it during pregnancy. It's okay if you don't drink this anti-fetal medicine."
"Keep drinking!" Xi Liemo suddenly uttered a voice, which startled Liu Yuyi and Gong Nai, "Since the other party did not hesitate to soak all the anti-abortion medicinal materials in this capital with the secret medicine once, it means that there is a premeditated plan. How can you let it go?
Instead of stopping the medicine and letting the other party think of another strategy, which is impossible to guard against, it is better to use the strategy and follow this clue to find the opportunity to catch those people! "
"I agree with Your Majesty's opinion!" Zhang Zhu said: "This medicine is prescribed, and it will be brought to the Hall of Supreme Harmony on time every day, and it will be poured. Outsiders can't know whether I drink it or not, and it can still confuse the other party for the time being. "
"The medicinal materials made from this secret medicine are not harmful to pregnant women if they are boiled in ordinary water; the medicine from the well in the palace is also harmless if drunk alone.
But after these two things are mixed together, pregnant women drink it, and their body qi and blood will gradually weaken. After a long time, they will easily collapse and have accidents during childbirth. "
Doctor Liu felt chills down his spine when he thought about it, "This method is poisonous, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch it!"
The largest medicinal material dealer in the market is the Helan family.
Just relying on this point alone, the Helan family cannot be convicted, because the secret medicine is generally harmless to people.
Xi Liemo knew this very well, and he said coldly to the maid: "Try to find a way to quietly bring the maid who conveyed this news to you, this king wants to ask her personally, what else do you know?"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
-
In the middle of the night, the sleeping Bai Yi was suddenly covered by someone. She struggled vigorously in panic, and then a female voice whispered in her ear: "Don't move, Your Majesty wants to see you!"
Bai Yi fell silent.She had heard that voice before, it was Ayu, the female guard beside the queen.
She sat up, put on her coat, and silently followed behind Ayu, quietly avoiding the eyes of all the guards, and came to the side room of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Xi Liemo was sitting in the middle, with a terrifying aura, when the white clothes saw him, he immediately knelt down, "I have seen the king!"
"Tell me everything you know!" Xi Liemo's voice was not loud, but the bitterness in that voice made Bai Yi's whole body shudder.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Bai Yi said: "A few days ago, Patriarch Gongsun sent someone to take the Eldest Princess back to the mansion, saying that he missed her for a long time, the Eldest Concubine did not doubt that he had him, and brought her slaves back to the mansion.
When he was about to leave, Patriarch Gongsun called the princess to the study.After the princess came out, her expression was in a trance, and she didn't say a word until she returned to the palace.
When he was about to go to bed at night, he suddenly asked the servant: "Bai Yi, do you think there is really a medicine in this world that can make people ugly?"
At that time, the servant did not understand what the princess meant and was about to ask her, but the princess turned around and stopped answering the servant.
The servant could not sleep all night because of the words of the princess. The princess was very clear about many things, but once she encountered something related to the king, she would become a little confused.
The slave was worried that the princess would do something wrong in a moment of confusion, so she asked the princess again the next morning, what did that sentence mean last night?
The eldest princess said that she didn't say anything last night, it was the servant who heard it wrong.The more the slaves thought about it, the more something was wrong, but the princess denied it flatly, the slaves had no choice but to keep an eye on the princess' movements.
In those few days, the princess was very silent, she often lost her mind, and the servants called her many times but couldn't hear her.
So the servant became more and more worried, and did not dare to sleep soundly at night, and always listened to the movement in the princess' room.Finally two days later at night, I saw the princess get up in the middle of the night, quietly went to the imperial kitchen, and poured something into the well.
The servant girl was frightened out of her wits, fearing that the princess would poison the well because of love and hate, so she hurriedly fetched a bucket of water from the well, found some cats, and let the cats drink the water.
After waiting all night, the cat was fine, and the servant guessed that it was not a fatal poison.
But the servants were worried, and took breakfast from the imperial kitchen for the princess, specifically explaining that it was specially made by the imperial dining room this morning, the princess didn't show any expression when she heard this, so she picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
The slaves became more and more sure that the things the princess put in the well were not poisonous, but the princess was troubled by this matter for a few days, and then went secretly in the middle of the night, there must be something wrong.
Later, the servant girl remembered that the princess once asked if there is any medicine in this world that can make people ugly, and suddenly thought of the queen.
The queen's appearance is unparalleled in the world. The princess once said that if she had the queen's face, the king would favor her.
Therefore, the servant guessed that the medicine might be targeted at the queen, but the princess also took it herself. Isn't she worried that her appearance will also change?
The servant girl thought about it for a few days and couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until the day before yesterday when she met Ru'an who was holding the anti-fetal medicine in the imperial dining room, that she suddenly realized that the queen is pregnant now. She can eat some things, but the princess can't. Such as birth control pills.
If some tricks are done on the medicinal materials, and the water that has been tampered with is used, and the two phases are mixed, it may really produce some unpredictable effects.
In fact, the slave girl is not sure, but thinking that if this matter is not true, it will be a false alarm at most. If it is true, she can ask the king and queen to save the princess from the crime because of the slave servant's contribution.
The eldest princess definitely didn't know what effect those two medicines would have on the queen's body, she must have been coaxed into a moment of confusion before taking the medicine. "
"Why are you so sure that there is something wrong with the medicine, not just the medicine that makes the queen ugly?" In the oppressive space, the majestic man's voice was clear and unusual.
The white-clothed head hung even lower, "Your Majesty, the Great Concubine was blinded for a while, and she didn't want to think about the loopholes in it, but the slave girl knew very well in her heart that if there is really a medicine to make people ugly in this world, it doesn't need to be used sooner or later, why should it be used?" Only used when the queen is pregnant in June?
If the medicine is found now, it can be used after the queen gives birth to the prince. At that time, the princess needs to take care of her body, and she will definitely drink the medicine, so there is a chance.
Rather than using it at this time, it means that there must be other tricks in it, so the servants will tell the maid about this idea. "
Xi Liemo said: "Bai Yi, it's not a short time for you to be with the princess. The princess has always regarded you as a confidant, but just now you seem to be thinking about the princess. Then the king has something to do." I don't understand, if that's the case, why did you betray the Great Princess?"
His voice was very steady, no emotion could be heard, but Bai Yi could hear suspicion from the words.
She smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, this servant belongs to the Great Princess, and this servant is very aware of the kindness that the Great Princess treats this servant, and because of this, this servant cannot just sit and watch as the First Princess is deceived and used by others!
What's more, the maidservant cherishes his life, if this incident causes irreparable damage in the end, and the king finds out that the princess has participated in it, the princess will die, and so will the servant girl.
The servant girl's parents died since she was a child, and her only younger brother joined the Lian Family Army three years ago. The servant girl hopes to live to see him get married and have children!Please also ask your Majesty to observe clearly! "
There was a moment of silence in the room, and then the cold and majestic voice sounded again, "What else do you know?"
Bai Yi said: "Other things, slaves don't know anything! Patriarch Gongsun loves the princess very much, and will not let the princess participate in many bad things, and will not let her know!
Besides, the eldest princess is kind-hearted, except that she is a bit arrogant and irritable when encountering unsatisfactory things, most of the time, she is a very good master, and she will never torture her servants when she gets angry!
If she was clearly told to do something harmful to nature, the princess would never agree no matter what!Therefore, other things, the slaves really don't know. "
"This king knows, keep an eye on the princess during these days, don't let her make mistakes again!"
"The slaves obey!"
The matter of administering the medicine was temporarily concealed. In order not to let outsiders suspect, Zhang Zhu pretended to be weak when he was outside, and called the imperial doctor a lot more times than usual.
After the news spread, Xi Lingyun and the three major families who planned this matter were secretly delighted.
Now Xi Lingyun has completely abandoned the beauty Zhangzhu for the sake of Jiangshan.
After all, there is only one country, but there are countless beauties.
No matter how reluctant he is to give up his unparalleled face, he will never lose his country for a beauty like Xi Liemo.
Another reason why he didn't give up Zhangzhu was because Huyan Yunting was pregnant.
There are only four princesses in the Ling Palace, and there has been no news of Concubine Ji being pregnant for more than a year.
Now that Huyan Yunting is pregnant, it is a good sign for Xi Lingyun who wants to succeed!
Moreover, he had also heard about the fact that Huyan Yunting could easily win a boy in one fell swoop, so he was very sure that this baby must be a boy!
Huyan Yunting is now nearly four months pregnant. When she first started to conceive, she was afraid for a long time, for fear that the people in the palace would find out and tell Xi Liemo to cut off her head!
After two or three months, Huyan Yunting finally couldn't help telling Xi Lingyun.
Surprised, Xi Lingyun was overjoyed, and immediately went to the doctor secretly to feel the pulse, prescribed medicine to recuperate her body, and bought a large number of precious pearls, hairpins and jade for her to express his joy for her and the baby in his belly.
Xi Lingyun's attitude reassured Huyan Yunting a lot, especially when he promised that he would find a way to take her out of the palace at the latest after the next year.
After the next year, Huyan Yunting was five months pregnant, but it was cold and she wore more clothes, so she would not be easily spotted if she didn't go out.
Someone helped her think about everything, so Huyan Yunting raised her baby in the dormitory with peace of mind, going out every ten days and a half months, and asked the doctor Xi Lingyun found to help her diagnose the pulse and confirm the condition of the baby in her womb.
On this day, it was time to leave the palace again.
Huyan Yunting came to Xi Lingyun's newly bought house, and Xi Lingyun and the doctor were waiting for her.
As soon as he saw her, he immediately went up to meet her, put his arms around her waist, and asked her in a low voice how she was doing these days?Has the child in my belly ever been obedient and so on.
Huyan Yunting enjoyed the treatment of being held in the palm of his hand very much, and the two started talking about some daily trivial matters like a real couple.
After taking the pulse, the doctor said everything was fine, prescribed some tonics and left.
Huyan Yunting leaned against Xi Lingyun's arms, let him caress her stomach, and murmured to the child in her belly.
Because she was pregnant with his child and very likely to be a boy, Xi Lingyun was satisfied, so he wanted to please her.
He gently helped Huyan Yunting straighten her clothes, held her hand, and planned to send her to the gate.
The moment the door opened, he met the woman standing at the door with a blank expression and a thin face.
That woman is obviously Helan Qingcheng.
When the three of them met, they were all stunned.
Xi Lingyun came to his senses first, and pulled Huyan Yunting behind him. The protective posture made He Lan Qingcheng red-eyed.
She pointed to Huyan Yunting behind Xi Lingyun, and asked, "My lord, why is she here?"
Xi Lingyun's head grew dizzy for a while, and he didn't know how to answer. Huyan Yunting poked her head out and said strangely: "Third Princess, why are you here?"
Helan Qingcheng's attitude was too obvious, no matter how stupid Huyan Yunting was, she knew that she had something to do with Xi Lingyun.
But now that Xi Lingyun's heart is on her, she naturally wants to protect her man.
He Lan Qingcheng was trembling with anger, and said with a sneer: "No wonder the prince has always found reasons to avoid this concubine these past few months, so it turns out that he has a new love!"
He Lan Qingcheng was very clear about Xi Lingyun's plan at the beginning. Although he has lost interest in her now, this alliance cannot be torn apart for the time being.
Xi Lingyun took Helan Qingcheng's hand and said softly, "Qingcheng, it's not what you think."
"It's not what the concubine thinks, what is that?" He Lan Qingcheng raised her chin, mockingly said: "Dare you say, you have nothing to do with that woman?"
Xi Lingyun was left speechless by the question, and Huyan Yunting behind him became angry when he heard that, what do you mean, Xi Lingyun?You talked sweetly to me just now, and then turned around and whispered to another woman?Let her despise him like this?
Huyan Yunting was overwhelmed with anger, she stroked her belly with one hand and her waist with the other, and let out an "Aiyo".
Now there is nothing more important than the child in Huyan Yunting's stomach.
Hearing her groan, Xi Lingyun quickly let go of Helan Qingcheng's hand, turned around and supported Huyan Yunting, with concern on his face and voice, "Ting'er, is your stomach okay?"
"My lord, I've been standing for a long time, and my stomach hurts a little." Huyan Yunting said softly on purpose.
Upon hearing the pain in her stomach, Xi Lingyun hurriedly hugged her, becoming more nervous, "Do you want the doctor to come back and have a look?"
Huyan Yunting took advantage of the situation and fell into his arms, and proudly raised her face at Helan Qingcheng, but her voice was sweeter, "It's okay, my lord, just let me rely on you."
Xi Lingyun was still worried, "This can't be done! If you hurt the baby in your stomach, it won't work, this king will ask the doctor to come back right away!"
The sweet and loving scene caused Helan Qingcheng's heart to ache, she rushed forward and grabbed Huyan Yunting's arm vigorously, about to pull her away from Xi Lingyun's embrace, "You bitch, get out of here! "
Under the madness, Helan Qingcheng was very strong, Xi Lingyun was afraid that she would accidentally hurt the child in Huyan Yunting's stomach, so he hurriedly pinched Helan Qingcheng's wrist, trying to make her let go of Huyan Yunting.
Xi Lingyun's protective behavior for fear of hurting her sweetheart made Helan Qingcheng even more crazy. She lowered her head without hesitation, opened her mouth to bite Xi Lingyun and grabbed her wrist.
Xi Lingyun let out a muffled groan, a tingling pain came from his wrist, his anger surged up like a tide, and he cursed in his heart: This crazy woman!
Helan Qingcheng bit hard, as if to tear him apart, Xi Lingyun had no choice but to grab Helan Qingcheng's neck with his other hand, trying to make her let go.
Helan Qingcheng, who was breathing more and more rapidly, suddenly remembered the scene where Xi Lingyun killed Luo Ke, the maid beside Huyan Yunxi that day.
I couldn't help but have a thought in my heart: Xi Lingyun doesn't want to kill her, does she?
She let go of Xi Lingyun's mouth, and grabbed Huyan Yunting's hand, and with both hands forcefully pulled away Xi Lingyun's palm that was pinching her neck.
Xi Lingyun just wanted Helan Qingcheng to let go, but his subordinates didn't use enough strength, and let go after a tug.
Helan Qingcheng took two steps back, glanced at Xi Lingyun with extremely frightened eyes, then screamed and ran out.
After a lot of tossing, Huyan Yunting really felt uncomfortable in her stomach.
Xi Lingyun ignored He Lan Qingcheng, and immediately helped her into the house, and called for a doctor immediately.
"My lord, what is your relationship with the third concubine?" Huyan Yunting lay on the bed and asked slightly sourly.
Xi Lingyun said softly: "It's all in the past, I only have Ting'er in my heart now."
Huyan Yunting believed this, Xi Lingyun's action of protecting her just now had already explained everything, but as a woman, she always hoped that a man could personally say the promise to feel at ease.
Now that Xi Lingyun said what Huyan Yunting wanted to hear, she no longer pursued the matter between him and He Lan, but worried: "My lord, will the third princess tell us about us? Will not spare us lightly!"
"It's okay, Ting'er, I will take care of this matter." Xi Lingyun comforted.
Originally, he never thought that Helan Qingcheng would tell the matter between him and Huyan Yunting. After all, she, Helan Qingcheng, was also his slave. To half the benefits!
But after being reminded by Huyan Yunting, Xi Lingyun thought of Helan Qingcheng's semi-crazy behavior just now, and suddenly felt that if she went crazy and sued Xi Liemo, not only would she tell about his relationship with Huyan Yunting, maybe He will also mention his plan to rebel!
Xi Lingyun, who has many concubines in the mansion, knows very well how terrible the means are and how determined the will is if a woman goes crazy because of love.
"Ting'er, you lie down first, the king is going to see if the doctor is here?" Xi Lingyun's back was slightly cold, and before Huyan Yunting could make a sound, he got up and walked towards the door.
The moment he turned around, all the tenderness on his face disappeared, revealing vicious and cold eyes.
After going out the door, he immediately called the guard leader, and said in a dark voice: "Immediately find the third concubine, lock her up first, and definitely not let her go back to the palace!"
"Yes!"
"If she resists," Xi Lingyun said coldly, "Kill without mercy!"
The leader of the guards was startled, cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
-
Helan Qingcheng disappeared just like that, not in the palace, not in Helan Mansion.
Both Xi Liemo and the Helan family sent people out to search, but Xilingyun's people searched secretly, but there was still no news of Helan Qingcheng.
Xi Lingyun thought of Helan Qingcheng's insanity for the past six months, and guessed that she might have really gone crazy suddenly and had already died outside.
This is better, so as not to get his hands dirty, and he has to find a way to hide it!The former affection disappeared without a trace like running water, Xi Lingyun not only has no affection for her at all, but hopes that she will really die like this.
However, just in case, he did not relax his pursuit of Helan Qingcheng.
After all, now has come to the most critical moment, he can't be surprised.
At the beginning of December, news came from the palace that the queen's body was weaker than before.
The imperial doctor said that some women would be like this when they were pregnant, and asked the queen to lie on the bed and rest more, and not to walk around if there was nothing to do, and prescribed a lot of tonics.
At the same time, Xi Lingyun secretly sent someone to spread the news to Li Guo's palace, and exaggerated the real situation of the queen.
In fact, it can't be considered an exaggeration. After all, the queen's health is getting worse day by day, and Xiqiang is far away from Li country. He sent someone to tell the situation of His Majesty the emperor of Li country, which is the real situation that will happen.
As expected, the emperor of the Li Kingdom heard that Princess Zhangzhu was unhappy in the Western Qiang harem, and she was getting thinner day by day after she was pregnant with the prince, to the point where the oil lamp was exhausted, and he was furious with heartache.
Immediately ordered Weiyuan Grand Marshal Du Feng to assemble 30 troops and send troops to Xiqiang to seek justice for the beloved Princess Zhangzhu!
