Quickly wear the pregnant queen

The emperor chatted with the queen mother for a long time, mainly to appease the queen mother's emotions.

The empress dowager may not have revealed it clearly, but the emperor still knew that the empress dowager was uneasy because of her drowsiness during this period of time.

"My queen, the national teacher said that I will have a catastrophe, and if I survive it, nothing will happen. I must have fallen asleep during this period of time, which confirms the national teacher's prophecy that day."

The queen mother also recalled the words of the national teacher.

"Yes, the national teacher did say that, he also said that if you make it through, you will be smooth sailing..."

Many children are blessed.

The queen mother swallowed the following words, and followed the emperor's accession to the throne these years.

She was full of hope from the beginning to almost ashamed now.

She no longer expects the emperor to have a prince.

These days, she knelt in front of the Buddha every day, and she also promised that if the emperor wakes up, she will be contented and happy, and there is no need to worry about the issue of the emperor's heirs.

"The national teacher seems to be effective, but even if the god is like the national teacher, there will be some miscalculations. My son doesn't have to take it to heart, and I don't have to worry about my heirs anymore. Take good care of your body. The prince looks good now, at least you know Advance and retreat with filial piety."

The emperor nodded. The problem of heirs has been a pain point for him for many years.

From the heartache and unwillingness at the beginning, he has long been able to accept it calmly.

This change in the heart is sad, and only he knows it.

As for the adoptive prince back then, in fact, the age of the prince was not suitable.

But he and his blood relationship are much closer, and the relationship is closer, so he was chosen as the prince.

"Yes." The emperor nodded.

"You have been sleepy for a while, Aijia didn't let anyone know, even Zhaoyang and the Queen."

The emperor nodded, and he held the queen mother's hand, "The queen mother has worked hard these days, and I promise that such things will not happen again in the future."

After seeing off the queen mother, it was already late at night.

"Wang Bao."

"Your Majesty, the servant is here."

"What time is it now? I'm leaving the palace." The emperor's tone revealed eagerness.

"Here...here, His Majesty will go to court in an hour."

The emperor woke up in the middle of the night, and chatted with the queen mother for nearly an hour at night.

"One hour...is not enough for one round trip." The emperor pondered.

After hesitating for a long time, he had no choice but to give up. The emperor sighed and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it after the morning court."

During this period of time, the government of the court has been deserted. He has not been to the court for more than 20 days, and he is replaced by secret guards.

He is a self-proclaimed Mingjun. Except for this period of accidents during his reign, he has never missed a morning court.

I just returned to normal today, so I'd better wait until the morning court to see Xu Lingyi.

"Wang Bao, go and pick some of the best female hidden guards."

This time Xu Lingyi had an accident, the emperor still has lingering fears.

The Shen family is too dangerous, no less than a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.

Shen's mother made things difficult for Xu Lingyi everywhere, with acrimony.

Shen Qinghuai's pair of dragon and phoenix twins are vicious in such a small way.

Their maternal grandfather's family is also not a good one, helping the children to murder the stepmother.

This time Xu Lingyi was almost tricked by them.

They probably wanted that person to spoil Xu Lingyi and ruin her reputation.

For a woman, this is no less than murder.

If it succeeds this time, Shen Rou and the others will bring a large group of people over. At that time, Xu Lingyi will live if she wants to.

He saved her life, but drove her to a desperate situation.

Thinking of this, the emperor clenched his fists, feeling angry in his heart. As long as he thought that Xu Lingyi was almost hurt like that, he felt his heart constrict and couldn't feel at ease.

He took a deep breath: "Go and check Li Shilang's house again."

Xu Lingyi's fact that this kind of thing happened at the banquet reported by the Li family is enough to show the courage and poison of the Li family.

He will never let anyone who hurt Xu Lingyi hurt.

"Your Majesty, what aspects are you checking to find out whether it is the court or the back house?" Wang Bao asked cautiously. He didn't know when His Majesty had such deep opinions on the Li family.

"Investigate everything, don't let go of anything, I want the Li family to be convicted, do you understand?"

The emperor looked indifferent and his voice was cold.

Wang Bao's heart trembled slightly, the emperor was moody, and the Li family was about to end.

Due to the queen mother's handling, he was absent during this period, and there was no trouble in the court.

Perhaps the courtiers had many guesses in their minds, for example, Shen Qinghuai felt that there might be something wrong with his body.

However, the ministers have no evidence, and there are turbulent undercurrents secretly, but they still dare not speak nonsense, and dare not act rashly on the surface.

But the emperor knew in his heart that if he waited a little longer, he would die.

Now the time for him to return to the court is just right, and when he shows up this time, those keen ministers will let go of their doubts.

"Shen Qing, this trip to Lingnan is up to you."

Shen Qinghuai was stunned, he suspected that he had heard wrong.

He is a general, but the emperor asked him to build waterways today?This is really ridiculous.

Not only Shen Qinghuai was puzzled, but the ministers below were also puzzled.

Letting Shen Qinghuai lead the army to fight against the bandits is fine, but letting him go to Lingnan is not like a decision that the emperor can make.

"Shen Qing is both civil and military, with both ability and morality. Now that the world is peaceful and there is no war, Shen Qing's talents are sufficient for other things except military training. I also need Shen Qing to share more for me."

The emperor opened his mouth to praise Shen Qinghuai, as if this move was to promote Shen Qinghuai.

Even Shen Qinghuai himself thought so.

The ministers thought this way even more, the emperor had always admired Shen Qinghuai, and now he was sent to Lingnan for the sake of experience, and he might not return to Beijing in the future to make a fortune.

The ministers thought they had guessed the emperor's plan.

But they didn't know that when the emperor saw Shen Qinghuai standing there, his blood surged up, and his heart was extremely sour.

This jealousy bit his heart hard, he wished that Shen Qinghuai would disappear immediately, and even die in Lingnan.

He admitted that he once wanted to be a wise king, and he had been moving towards this goal in the past few years, and he dared not relax one day.

Even after returning to his own body, he thought for a moment that he should give up liking Xu Lingyi, stop robbing his minister's wife, and stop being infamous in history.

He knew very well that if he did such a thing, future generations would no longer pay attention to his achievements, but would only focus on his flair.

Just like a previous monarch.

But as soon as this idea came to mind, he immediately rejected it.

If you choose between being Mingjun and Xu Lingyi's husband.

In the past, he would choose to be Mingjun, but now he will choose the latter without hesitation.

At the moment he was beaten to death yesterday, he almost thought that he would never see Xu Lingyi again. The deep regret before he died wrapped him up, and the regret filled his heart.

This is the only woman he has ever liked, and he doesn't want to miss her.

He suppressed himself for many years, and used to always follow the world's standards.

But from now on, he just wants to follow his heart and like the woman he loves.

----

"Where's Your Majesty?" The queen mother came to look for the emperor, and she stepped on it, guessing that the emperor should come down early at this time, but it was all in vain.

"Empress Dowager, His Majesty left the palace early."

The emperor didn't rest for a moment, and rode out of the palace on horseback.

But near the Shen residence, the emperor stopped, with a hesitant look on his face.

He can't go in like this, he needs to find a reason.

"Wang Bao, go and knock on the door of Shen's residence."

As soon as Shen Qinghuai arrived at the Shen residence, he learned that the emperor had actually come.

He was very surprised for a moment, did His Majesty come to look for him in the morning?

Shen Qinghuai hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and invited the emperor to sit up.

"A trip to Lingnan, is Ai Qing confident?"

Shen Qinghuai knelt down to express his determination: "Although I have never done it, I will definitely do my best to live up to Your Majesty's expectations."

The emperor tried hard to suppress the malice in his heart, he laughed and patted Shen Qinghuai on the shoulder.

"It's my good fortune to have a humerus minister like Aiqing."

The emperor picked up the teacup, carefully looked at the tea color in the cup, and said slowly, "Is the bag on Shen Qing's waist really unique?"

He knew that Xu Lingyi embroidered it for Shen Qinghuai stitch by stitch, and she even pricked a few fingers.

The emperor looked at the kit, wishing he could snatch it from him, but fortunately, he still remembered that he was the king of a country, so he couldn't lose his composure.

"This is made by my wife." Shen Qinghuai said with a smile.

The emperor snorted coldly in his heart, but on his face he asked knowingly, "Is your wife the daughter of the Xu family who fell into the water that day?"

In fact, this brocade bag was not well embroidered, it was impossible for Xu Lingyi to make things for Shen Qinghuai with all his heart, the workmanship was very rough, but the emperor felt that this brocade bag was very good, and Shen Qinghuai was not worthy to carry it at all.

Qing Huai nodded: "Exactly, the marriage between the minister and his wife is thanks to His Majesty's matchmaking that day. If His Majesty hadn't let the minister go into the water to save people, the minister would not have such a happy relationship. The minister and his wife have to thank His Majesty." .”

The emperor's heart was shocked, this was the thing he regretted the most, Shen Qinghuai said it so easily.

He wished he could kill him, but at this moment he could only hold back the dark thoughts in his heart.

Clenching his hands tightly, with a smile on his face, he said, "Then Aiqing asked Madam to come out, and I will see if Madam and Aiqing are a good-looking couple."
