Medical concubine in power

Chapter 374
Just one month's time is enough to cause a great change in the climate in the capital.The fine wind poured into the collar, making people feel the biting cold.In Fengqi Palace, a little charcoal fire has already started.Although it is not as warm as spring, it is also very comfortable.

"Your Majesty, the charcoal fire has been made. Do you have any other orders?"

A court lady stood beside Xie Muyan and asked obediently.She didn't dare to get too close to Xie Muyan, even her eyes were a little timid.After all, a while ago, Dou'er offended the Empress for some reason, and was finally locked up. He was just released three days ago, sent home, and lost a lot of weight.

"It's okay, you go down." Xie Muyan glanced at the brazier beside her, and waved her hand lightly, indicating that the maid could leave.

For a moment, the palace maid seemed to have been pardoned, and hurriedly turned and went out.The moment she heard the door was closed, Xie Muyan set her sights on the child again.There was a flash of light in her eyes, and she looked at her child with wide eyes, as if sensing the excitement in her heart, she giggled.

The crisp laughter like a silver bell suddenly resounded in the bedroom.Xie Muyan also had a gratified smile on her face.

"Baby, are you happy for your mother?" Listening to the child's laughter, Xie Muyan muttered to herself, "Mother has made up her mind to avenge your brother. Mother believes that , this day will not come too late."

While talking, the door of the bedroom was gently pushed open again.That slight movement, if it wasn't for the cold wind pouring into the room at this moment, Xie Muyan would have felt a little chill.If not, even she would not be able to detect someone's sudden arrival.

She looked behind her reflexively, but saw a man in black had already walked in front of her and knelt down on one knee towards her, "My subordinate Ye Gucheng, please refer to the master. I don't know if the master calls the subordinate to come forward Come, what's your order?"

The deep voice lingered in Xie Muyan's ear for a long time.The smile on her face remained undiminished, compared to just now, it was a little more warm.Before I knew it, a month had passed quietly.Her confinement period is almost over, and the time she agreed with Ye Gucheng has already arrived.

"It's been so long, and I don't know how Xiujin is doing now." Xie Muyan took a deep breath, as if she had been brewing for a long time before she said this sentence.

The word Xiujin seems to have become a thorn between her and Ye Gucheng.Ye Gucheng trembled uncontrollably after hearing the words.However, he quickly suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.

He pretended to be calm, but kept his head down all the time, not daring to look into Xie Muyan's eyes, "The master once allowed his subordinates to take a look. Xiujin, she... is doing okay in the cold palace..."

Such words, even if he said them himself, felt against his will.He was just in the middle of his words when he was interrupted by Xie Muyan, "What do you mean by living well? Is it enough to eat and dress warmly, or is it still hanging on your breath and not dying?"

These words were like a knife, mercilessly cutting open Ye Gucheng's chest, and showing his bloody heart in front of everyone.

Silence spread between the two.Xie Muyan sighed softly, breaking the silence between the two.

"Ye Gucheng, you have been by my side for many years. I suddenly asked you this, don't you really know what I think?"

Xie Muyan's voice was obviously not loud, but it sounded like a thunderbolt in Ye Gucheng's ear.He raised his head suddenly, but happened to bump into Xie Muyan's smiling face.His heart began to beat violently, but nothing showed on his face.

"The master's thoughts, the subordinates dare not speculate on their own." He tried his best to maintain his calm, and the respectful words were also spoken by him in an extremely flat tone.

Seeing Ye Gucheng's appearance of not being able to believe her guess, Xie Muyan couldn't help chuckling.She shook her head helplessly, and no longer kept her secret, "Although Xiujin can't speak now, her sanity should be clear."

Ye Gucheng nodded almost without any hesitation, "The last time I went to see her, her thinking was clear, and the time between them is not too long now, so it should still be the case."

His tone of voice was certain, and there was a hint of uncontrollable excitement in his words.But to his surprise, Xie Muyan didn't continue to linger on Xiujin's question, but turned the topic to another side.

"When you came, were you noticed by others?" Xie Muyan turned her head to look at the baby lying next to her. When she saw that his eyes were closed and he fell into a deep sleep, his voice involuntarily became quieter, just right It clearly passed into Ye Gucheng's ears.

Hearing this, Ye Gucheng's face suddenly became a little more confident, "Master, you can rest assured that no one should find out. On the way here, my subordinates saw Concubine Zhang walking between the bedrooms of other concubines."

He pondered for a while, but decided to tell Xie Muyan everything he saw.The calm words continued after the two of them quieted down, "This subordinate feels that Zhang Guifei seems to be on good terms with other concubines. This does not seem to be very beneficial to you."

Ye Gucheng's words were to the point, even with some worries.After all, if Zhang Duoya has a good relationship with other concubines, then all the concubines will naturally stand by Zhang Duoya's side.One Zhang Duoya is okay.But when Zhang Duoya has many helpers, if he wants to attack Xie Muyan and Bao Bao, it will be even more difficult to guard against.

"Since I saw Concubine Zhang, let me ask you, do you think Concubine Zhang's belly is a few months old?"

Xie Muyan's question is really extremely strange.But Ye Gucheng still thought for a while, and answered honestly, "It seems to be eight months old. However, this does not rule out that she is carrying twins. Could it be that you, master..."

When he said this, Ye Gucheng seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking at Xie Muyan, his eyes were also full of surprise.But thinking about it carefully, Xie Muyan's conjecture seems not impossible.

"That's right." Xie Muyan nodded slightly, her eyes narrowed into a slit to cover up the light in her eyes, "I suspect that the child in Zhang Duoya's stomach is not Mu Jiayu's child at all. It is very likely that it is After she was pregnant with someone else's child, she was named after Mu Jiayu."

Speaking of this, Xie Muyan also had a bitter smile on her face where Ye Gucheng could not see.In fact, she also hopes that the truth is what she thinks.In her heart, after all, she still retained such deep affection for Mu Jiayu.

After a pause, Xie Muyan continued, "I have inquired from other court ladies, and they don't have much impression of Zhang Duoya's pregnancy. The last clue is in the cold palace. If you follow her The child in her stomach is eight months old, so it coincides with the days when she was in the cold palace."

Xie Muyan fixed her gaze on Ye Gucheng's body, the meaning in her eyes could not be more obvious.

"This subordinate understands that this subordinate will go to the cold palace to inquire about her." Ye Gucheng lowered his head, but he didn't get up for a long time, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated to speak.After a while, he opened his mouth under Xie Muyan's puzzled eyes.

"Master, when I went to see Xiujin last time, I saw that she had expressed remorse. I thought, she should have understood how absurd the things she did back then were."

What Ye Gucheng said was difficult.He also knew that such words sounded like he was using his status to plead for Xiujin, but as an older brother, he had to do this out of love for his sister.

"Don't worry, no matter what she thinks in her heart, as long as she is able to take the blame and make meritorious service, I will naturally not treat her badly."

Xie Muyan's reply gave Ye Gucheng a reassurance.There was a feeling of joy in his heart that kept spreading, but he still maintained a stable appearance on the surface.

Watching Ye Gucheng's back gradually disappear in front of her eyes, Xie Muyan slowly closed her eyes, and a smile gradually appeared on her face...

Ye Gucheng, who skillfully avoided the eunuchs and maids, had already arrived at the gate of the cold palace in just a few ups and downs.

It is late autumn now, but the already dilapidated doors and windows in the cold palace have not been repaired.The cold wind poured into the room through the large and small holes on the doors and windows, and even looking at it made people feel extremely cold.

Ye Gucheng looked at the desolate scene in front of him, and finally followed his memory and entered a palace.

In a small room, a small figure is sitting curled up on a small bed.She fiddled with the thin, worn-out sheet desperately, but no matter how she fiddled with it, her ankles and soles were still exposed.

Her cheeks on both sides were flushed by the wind, but her lips were pale.The small body trembled.

Seeing such a scene, a distressed expression suddenly appeared on Ye Gucheng's face.He took two steps forward and put his cloak on Xiujin.

Xiujin kept her head down and never glanced outside her house.She only felt that the top of her head suddenly darkened.At the same time, there was a sudden warmth on his body.

This sudden feeling made her raise her head subconsciously, but she happened to meet Ye Gucheng's distressed eyes.

elder brother……

She opened her mouth, wanting to call Ye Gucheng.But knowing this time, she who hadn't spoken for a long time suddenly remembered that she had already lost the right to speak.

She struggled to stand up and looked at Mu Jiayu with surprise.
