Before Yue Rong could continue, Gu Ning got up, turned and walked outside.

Yue Rong froze for a moment, and hurried to follow.

But a sword appeared in the sky, and Chunyu was staring at him coldly: "You can't follow without the county lord's order!"

"I..." Yue Rong immediately wanted to explain, but Chunyu sneered, "Traitors have no right to refute!"

"I'm not a traitor!" Yue Rong shouted anxiously.

But Chunyu glanced at him coldly, and pointedly said: "You were already a traitor when you were in contact with General Lu's people and you didn't tell the county magistrate! Now you are not driven away because of Thank you for your face!"

After saying that, Chunyu walked out quickly.

Yue Rong was left standing where he was, suffering unspeakably. He was just doing things according to the adults' orders. How could he become a traitor when Chunyu said it?

Thinking of this, Yue Rong shook his head dejectedly, but after thinking hard, he followed the two carefully, not daring to get too close or too far away.

He was ordered by Xie Yan to protect Gu Ning and never let Gu Ning out of his sight.

Gu Ning walked quickly outside Pei Anlin's courtyard, her expression became sad already on the way, and the moment she opened the door, her eyes turned even redder.

Seeing her appearance, the soldiers who didn't know the inside story frowned even more, and became more worried about Pei Anlin's body.

Gu Ning walked into the yard, and the strong smell of medicine came to her face. She took two steps in three steps, walked into the room, and screamed in her mouth.

"uncle!"

The people outside the door were shaken by the sound, and those who didn't know the inside story showed sadness, thinking that Pei An's days were numbered, but those who knew the inside story, such as Yue Rong, looked at Gu Ning with indescribable words back.

This is too much alike!

The door was closed, Gu Ning walked quickly to Pei Anlin's side, weeping and whispering: "Uncle, did you receive the letter from your grandmother?"

"I have received it." Pei Anlin nodded, his eyes were quite complicated, he did not expect that Concubine Chen would be so bold, he is different from Gu Ning, from the very beginning he knew that the elixir that the emperor took contained sun-seeking grass, Can make people infertile.

Seeing Pei Anlin's expression, Gu Ning knew that she guessed right. She whispered, "Then what shall we do next? Expose the truth about Concubine Chen's affair?"

"We will discuss it after we return to Beijing." Pei Anlin caught a glimpse of Gu Ning's eager eyes, his scalp tightened, and he warned, "Without my permission, you must not act rashly!"

Hearing this, Gu Ning curled his lips: "Uncle, I haven't said what I'm going to do."

"Since it was your grandmother who spread the news, she must have made up her mind, you can't act recklessly!" Pei Anlin warned, "Do you understand?"

Gu Ning lowered his eyes and never answered.

Pei Anlin's tone was a bit heavier: "Speak!"

"I know." Gu Ning sighed, "Actually, I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to make a deal with Concubine Chen. She must be panicking now. If she is used properly, she will be our emperor. One of the most useful pawns around."

"You don't need to worry about these things." Pei Anlin patted Gu Ning's shoulder, "As long as we elders are around for a day, you can play around happily without worrying about these trivial matters."

Pei Anlin obviously didn't want Gu Ning to be involved in these matters, his tone was very gentle, but Gu Ning couldn't refuse.

Gu Ning knew that Pei Anlin didn't make sense. If she wanted to implement the plan, she still had to start with the Eldest Princess.

So, Gu Ning nodded honestly: "I see, uncle."

Pei Anlin was not refuted, and felt a little uncomfortable.

He looked at Gu Ning carefully, but his heart was suspended: "You just agreed?"

"Could it be that if I don't agree, can my uncle allow me to do these things?" Gu Ning blinked and looked at Pei Anlin earnestly.

Pei Anlin looked away uncomfortably, coughed lightly and said, "Of course I can't, even if I agree, I wouldn't dare to do anything without your grandmother's permission."

"Instead of asking me, you might as well write to her and ask her. If she agrees, I will help you."

When Pei Anlin said this, he firmly believed in his heart that Gu Ning would not be able to obtain the permission of the Eldest Princess.

However, Gu Ning lifted his chin and said with a smile: "Uncle, this is what you said! As long as grandma agrees, you will help me!"

"Of course." Pei Anlin nodded, "The premise is that you can convince her."

In Pei Anlin's view, this is an impossible thing to succeed. It would be fine if the eldest princess had no plan. She has already spread the news. It is clear that she has a plan for the next step. Gu Ning wants to persuade her, then It is really an impossible task!

Pei Anlin rubbed Gu Ning's head and said with a smile, "If you don't succeed, don't ask me to cry."

"Uncle, just wait!" Gu Ning raised his chin, quite confidently, "Grandmother may really listen to my advice!"

……

In the Tai Chi Hall at that time.

Concubine Chen was carried on a chariot until she arrived at the entrance of the Tai Chi Hall. Once at the entrance, before she got up, she was supported by several tall nuns to walk in.

From her bedroom to the Taiji Hall, she came here without touching the ground. Before, no one in the entire harem had such an honor. Even the Queen Mother had to go down the steps to enter the Taiji Hall.

Li Dehai stepped forward quickly, walked carefully beside Concubine Chen, and complimented: "Your Majesty is really the emperor's favorite person. This servant has been with the emperor for decades, and this is the first time I have seen the emperor care so much about someone." !"

Hearing this, a stiff smile appeared on Concubine Chen's face, and her hands and feet had already started to go weak.

The threshold at the entrance of the hall was extremely high, and she couldn't even cross the threshold with weak feet.

Concubine Chen's appearance made those nuns feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and quickly used themselves as a sedan chair to carry her over.

Li Dehai reprimanded from the side: "Be careful! If you hurt the concubine Chen and the dragon child in your belly, you won't even lose your heads!"

The foreheads of several nuns were covered with cold sweat, and they responded quickly.

"Don't blame the mothers." Concubine Chen immediately said, "It's my body that is useless."

She held her belly and said something with a stiff smile.

The people on the side were all a little surprised. When Concubine Chen was still Chu Zhaoyi, she relied on the emperor's favor to be arrogant towards others. Even some ministers didn't pay attention to her, let alone a few nuns.

Such a strange behavior was very strange in their eyes, but Concubine Chen was the emperor's favorite person, even if they were puzzled, they did not dare to say a word about it.

Concubine Chen was sweating coldly all the time. If the child in her womb really belonged to the emperor and could receive such preferential treatment, she would naturally be overjoyed, but...the child in her womb has someone else's father!The emperor attached so much importance to this child and gave her such a big ostentation. She was not only unhappy, but became more and more uneasy-did the emperor know something and did it on purpose?Just to stimulate her?

With such thoughts in mind, Concubine Chen's pace became slower and slower.

She just walked into the Taiji Hall step by step, and the emperor stood there, waiting for a long time.

"The concubine is here."

Concubine Chen's heart skipped a beat when she heard the emperor's gentle call.

"See the emperor..." Concubine Chen was about to kneel down to salute, but was helped up by the emperor himself.

The emperor steadily helped her to the side and sat down. The chair had already been padded and was most suitable for pregnant women.

Seeing this, Concubine Chen closed her eyes, tightly gripped the armrest with her fingers, lowered her head, covered her unnatural smile, and said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You are pregnant with a child, so naturally I can't let you suffer any more." The emperor patted the back of Concubine Chen's hand, his eyes fell softly on her lower abdomen.

At this time, Concubine Chen's lower abdomen was still very flat, and there was no sign of pregnancy.

The emperor's eyes seemed to be looking at some treasure, and his eyes were extremely hot.

Concubine Chen shrank back from seeing such eyes, the emperor's eyelids instantly lifted, and stared at her, she didn't dare to move at once, and the emperor's eyes became gentle again.

"Don't worry, with me here, no one dares to hurt you."

Concubine Chen nodded, only feeling that her heart had already drifted into the distance.

The behavior of the emperor is really too strange!Those concubines were all spoiled before, but the emperor was never so happy when they were pregnant.

Having been by the emperor's side for several years, Concubine Chen has figured out the emperor's temper. He just treats the women in the harem as pets, and doesn't treat them as human beings at all. If so, how can he treat them sincerely?

And he suddenly treated him so well only because of the child in his womb.

Once he finds out the truth, then he...

Concubine Chen's fingertips holding the armrest turned pale from exertion.

"Your Majesty, Daoist Chen is here!"

Under the watchful eyes of the emperor, amidst the uneasiness of Concubine Chen, Li Dehai's cry interrupted the strange atmosphere in the hall.

Hearing Chen Daochang's arrival, the emperor immediately stood up and walked out of the palace with more excited steps than he did to Concubine Chen, his expression was full of joy, and even a hint of hospitality.

Concubine Chen read this expression from his face, her heart was full of curiosity and panic.

It is said that Chen Daochang is very powerful, he can cure the illness that Xiao Yuanzheng is helpless, will he find that the child in his womb is not the emperor's seed?

Once this idea arises in my mind, it will never go away.

The emperor welcomed Daochang Chen in, and kept talking: "I invite Daochang Chen to come here today for the sake of the dragon son in Concubine Chen's belly, and I also ask Daochang Chen to give him a fortune teller!"

He trusted Chen Daochang very much, and wished that Chen Daochang would use fortune-telling to solve state affairs, but unfortunately, Chen Daochang was very taboo about state affairs and was unwilling to help.

Concubine Chen hung her heart and was about to refuse, but before she could say a word, Daoist Chen had already walked in front of her with his fly whisk in his hand.

Chen Daochang was born with a celestial spirit, and when he looked at her, she felt that everything about herself had been seen through.
