Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 252 Defense
Hearing the words, the little emperor could not see any joy or anger on his face, and his expression was very calm.

On the contrary, Huo Shijiu clenched his fists, looking even more nervous than the little emperor.The news that Concubine Lan is happy is specially released to relieve the urgent need. If the British public is asked to diagnose Concubine Lan's pulse and the truth is spread, the matter of the little emperor will still be exposed.At that time, not only will Tianwei be damaged, but he will also be the first to be pushed to the guillotine.

Huo Shijiu is not afraid of death, what he is afraid of is that years of hard work will be in vain.The fear is that the whole family will be tired.What's more, now that he has nostalgia...

Thoughts turned, Huo Jiujiu was about to speak, but Jiang Wu grabbed his arm.When he looked back in surprise, the little emperor said with a smile on his face.

"It's thanks to the thoughtfulness of the British Duke. It's okay. Concubine Lan is weak. Those idiots in the Tai Hospital didn't even take care of your illness before. I was also worried. Now that there are good doctors, I just go to see you right now. .I'll follow along to have a look."

Displeasure flashed across the face of the British Duke, and then he sneered. At this moment, this little bastard with no brains still had something on his mind to say those irrelevant words to disgust him!

"Of course, the old minister is doing everything for the sake of the emperor, so he ordered people to come in."

The British Duke turned around and ordered to go on.

The little emperor smiled and said: "It's almost the same today, let's all go away, and you can go back and reunite with your family." Looking at Huo Shijiu and Jiang Wu, he said: "Brother Ying and sister stay with us. on."

Huo Shijiu and Jiang Wu saluted and said yes.

The British prince looked at Huo Jiujiu, with even more sarcasm in his smile.

"Yeah, let's go and see together. Lady Lan's pregnancy is a great joy. Since the emperor calls Marquis Jin Ning 'brother', how can we not go today?"

The pun was quite hostile, and it was the first time that the British Duke spoke so unabashedly and sharply in front of Huo Shijiu.The pretentious balance in the past is now broken.

On the way to the sleeping hall, Huo Shijiu specially slowed down, and asked in a low voice in Jiang Wu's ear: "Why is Fang Cai pulling me?"

Jiang Wu shook her head, leaned close to his ear and lowered her voice, "Don't always treat the emperor as a child. Since he can spread the news, he will not be afraid of people's inspection. You always protect him like an old hen guarding his cubs. It also delays the development of the emperor, doesn't it?"

Huo Shijiu couldn't help laughing: he tapped her forehead lightly with his finger, and said dotingly: "What old hen, you bad girl." His tone was much more relaxed, obviously he was moved by Jiang Wu's persuasion.

Jiang Wu blushed and took two steps back, as if she was shy because she was afraid that others would see them so intimate.Huo Jiujiu also shook his head amusedly, and moved forward by himself.

After he turned around, the joy in Jiang Wu's eyes was replaced by worry.Since the emperor is willing to let the British prince take someone to have a test, then that concubine Lan must be pregnant, and will never give someone a handle. Huo Shijiu is such a smart person, and he was anxious for a while only because he cared about it. I panicked.

But what she didn't understand was, when did the Concubine Lan find out she was pregnant?You must know that the royal blood cannot be confused, and the emperor also knows that he is not humane now. The only prince is likely to be the one who will inherit the throne in the future, so the chances of the child in Concubine Lan's womb being the emperor's own are much higher.

If Concubine Lan's child is the little emperor's.This news was only released today, and even people as close as Huo Shijiu and the little emperor didn't know about it...

What does that mean?
Jiang Wu looked at Huo Shijiu's tall and straight back in a sable velvet gown, filled with worry and distress, as if she could drown.

When he arrived at the bedroom, the little emperor ordered someone to pick up Concubine Lan, and ordered Jing Tong to prepare tea.

The little emperor took the first place, the British prince took the second place, and Jiang Wu and Huo Shijiu took the last place.After two servings of tea, there was a voice of greeting from the servants outside the hall, obviously Concubine Lan had arrived.

Surrounded by the palace people, a beauty of the same age as Jiang Wu entered the door. Seeing that her abdomen did not bulge, it was only because of the mother's instinct that she moved slowly and subconsciously stretched out her hand to protect her.

The doctor brought by the British Duke had long beard and white hair, and he was wearing the brand-new cotton clothes of ordinary people. There was nothing wrong with that. Concubine Lan's bright wrist came out, and the maid in the palace covered it with a veil.

After the investigation, the doctor with excellent medical skills smiled and said: "Go back to the emperor, the Duke of the country, Empress Lan has been pregnant for nearly three months, and the empress is healthy, everything is normal."

"Three months?" The British Duke narrowed his eyes, "Why does the old minister look at Miss Lan's body is still thin."

"Xuzheng can't see it because of the slenderness of the empress and the loose clothes. But the old man can conclude that the fetus of the empress is normal."

"Okay, very good!" The Duke of England laughed, his sharp eyes glanced at the little emperor and Huo Shijiu, and he said with a flick of his sleeves, "If you don't disturb the reunion of the emperor's family, the old minister will leave!"

He took the doctor and his entourage and left quickly.

The little emperor tensed his back. Seeing the Duke of England and his party leaving the bedroom, Jing Tong sent the servants and maids out, closed the door of the palace, and then heaved a sigh of relief and sat down in the armchair.He casually ordered: "It's getting late, Concubine Lan, you don't have to watch the year, just go and sleep on Zhen's couch inside."

Concubine Lan was so flattered that she hurriedly got down to salute the emperor, and then went to the inner hall by herself.

Jing Tong closed the Linghua grid fan in the inner hall again.

As a result, only the little emperor, Huo Shijiu, Jiang Wu and Jing Tong were left outside.

The little emperor said: "The old man can't bear it anymore, today he is so blatantly provocative, I said Concubine Lan is pregnant, he dared to bring someone to test, you obviously don't take me seriously! "

"It's all right, the emperor doesn't need to care too much." Huo Shijiu said with a teasing smile: "The emperor made a good move, and all the generals were fooled."

When Jing Tong heard this, he immediately took a quick glance at the expressions of Huo Shijiu and Jiang Wu.

The little emperor smiled awkwardly: "Brother Ying was joking. I didn't design it on purpose, but Concubine Lan just got the news. I think she was afraid that things might not be accurate, so she didn't dare to make random reports."

"It's better to be cautious." Huo Shijiu smiled and said gently.

But these words, to the little emperor's ears, were referring to him.Although it was a gratifying compliment, it sounded really uncomfortable to him.

Huo Shijiu didn't mention this anymore, and said: "Your Majesty, the fireworks have already been seen, why don't you go to the minister's house to watch the new year?" They had already discussed it before.

But the little emperor shook his head and said: "I won't go, no, Concubine Lan is here too, it's important that Brother Ying and sister go back and reunite with their families."

Huo Shijiu said anxiously: "Whatever the emperor said, the emperor is willing to go, and the family will be reunited." Ever since the little emperor practiced Zuo, Huo Shijiu has been with him to watch the year, how can he rest assured that the little emperor will be left alone in the cold in the palace?

As if remembering something, the little emperor's eyes became more gentle and dependent, "Brother Ying, go back, don't worry about me. I will give you five days off, and you will come to the palace on the sixth day of the lunar new year." Then he smiled again: " Maybe before that time, I will go out of the palace to find you."

In this way, the little emperor has made up his mind.If Huo Shijiu invites him to go to Huo's house for the new year, it will be a bit difficult for others.

He had no choice but to salute: "Minister, obey the order."

The little emperor lowered his head when Huo Shijiu and Jiang Wu left hand in hand, and when the palace door was closed tightly, he seemed to be extremely tired, and leaned back against the soft satin pillow.

"Your Majesty." Jing Tong presented the cover cup with both hands: "You take a bite of Yan'er's Nest Milk. Your dinner tonight is not delicious, and it's useless at the banquet."

He silently took the lid cup and took a spoonful, but couldn't put it in his mouth for a long time.Immediately let go dejectedly, and put the cover cup back on the table.

Seeing the little emperor like this, Jing Tong said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon body."

"Jingtong." The little emperor looked at Jingsi with tears in his eyes: "Do you think I've done it before?"

"What is the emperor talking about?" Jing Tong knelt in front of the emperor and said sincerely: "The emperor is rich in the world, the world belongs to the emperor, and all the subjects of the world belong to the emperor. Naturally, you can do whatever you want. Besides, you are right to Jin Marquis Ning is also considered to be very affectionate. The Marquis sometimes acts a little rushed, and you don't blame him. Besides, the emperor is in a high position, so he can best understand what it is like to be in a high place. You have a heart of defense , It is not only human nature, but also a last resort. You, the emperor, represent the entire Great Yan Dynasty. If you are not careful here, if something happens, the entire court will be damaged."

Jing Tong's words made the little emperor feel more at ease, but after all, he was a bit dishonest about this matter.

"You said that Brother Ying is sometimes aggressive in his actions. This is true, but I understand in my heart that he does so because of my urgency. If there are more loyal officials in the court who are more aggressive like Brother Ying, How did I come to this day? Brother Ying wants to have more companions, so that things won't be so tiring."

"Your majesty, you have a big heart. People say that the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, but the slave thinks that the emperor's belly can hold the sea."

"You dog slave, your mouth is getting sweeter." The little emperor couldn't help smiling when Jing Tong flattered him.The gloomy look in his eyes also went away a little.

It's just that thinking of Huo Shijiu still makes him feel uncomfortable.

"I was just worried that Brother Ying would think that I was hiding something from him. I didn't even tell him that Concubine Lan was pregnant."

"Your Majesty, don't worry so much. Marquis Jin Ning has always been loyal to you, and he will understand the difficulties of the Emperor. Besides, what the Emperor did is not wrong. The slave said something out of the norm, and these days the slave is following you. The emperor watched coldly, Jin Ninghou sometimes does things a little beyond the tyranny. For example, those people around you heard people say that the former little Wei Zi next to the emperor was Jin Ninghou... If it wasn’t Xiao Wei Wei Zi has gone, and now it's not the servant's turn to be here. And..."

"Shut up." The little emperor scolded in a cold voice, stopping Jing Tong's words.

Jing Tong was startled, and hurriedly knelt down on his knees: "I know I was wrong, please punish me severely!"
