The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

"Exactly, the emperor has no heirs. The Ai family is afraid that the emperor will suddenly leave and cause chaos in the court."

Looking at the child next to the Queen Mother, Meng Wenyao deeply felt the horror of the struggle for imperial power. The Queen Mother's own son was still lying on the bed. She took her adopted son back without caring about the mother-child relationship. She found a way out so quickly.

The speed of the Queen Mother's action is admirable. If the Emperor is really in trouble this time, the Queen Mother can turn around and listen to the affairs behind the curtain, and she has great power.

As for the Meng family, they were afraid that they would follow in the footsteps of the Pan family. Meng Wenyao felt a chill running down her back. With the new emperor ascending the throne, she, the former queen, would not be able to live for a few more days.

Fortunately, the emperor is not dead yet.

"But the Emperor is fine. He was just suffering from a sudden attack of rage. Just spit out the blood and it will be fine. It will not affect his lifespan."

"What?" The Queen Mother said in disbelief. She pushed away the crowd and saw the Emperor, who was half lying on the dragon bed, looking at her as if he were looking at a dead person.

"Does the Queen really want me to die? Have you found a new son now?"

The Queen Mother fainted directly. It seemed that this was the only way, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with it at the moment.

After she was carried back to Chengqing Hall, she suddenly felt that her life was really ridiculous. For the sake of unwarranted rights, her family was destroyed, and her son hated her to death.

And Gu Shaoyu is already far away from the capital, and I am afraid she will never see her again. Her life, no, only half of her life, has come to an end.

If possible, she would not have tricked Gu Shaoyu into going to Northern Xinjiang, nor would she have entered the palace on her own initiative. Unfortunately, it was too late.

The fear that the barbarians were about to attack the capital lingered on everyone's head. The imperial court issued six edicts and finally invited Gu Shaoyu back to the capital on the way.

Everything returned to its original state, as if nothing had changed, except that people had more respect for Gu Shaoyu, treating him as if he were the emperor.

When Meng Wenyao was held in Gu Shaoyu's arms again, she happily asked him: "Did the barbarians really invade?"

"Ah."

"Are we going to hit the capital?"

Gu Shaoyu seemed to be dissatisfied with the small mouth that kept babbling, so he directly blocked it. After appeasing his greed, he smiled and said: "The barbarians invade every year. He can only attack wherever I ask him to go."

As expected, Meng Wenyao put her arms around Gu Shaoyu's neck with confidence and kissed him back wantonly.

After a night of passion under the warm fragrance of spring, Meng Wenyao heard that Gu Cainu had become a noble concubine again, and she felt dumbfounded.

After experiencing the Queen Mother's adoption of an adopted son, the Emperor no longer cared about the feelings between mother and son, and was determined to send the Queen Mother to the imperial mausoleum.

When the Queen Mother heard that Gu Shaoyu was back, she went crazy to find him and asked someone to investigate him. She was unwilling to give in and must find the person behind it. As long as the person behind it was solved, she and Gu Shaoyu could return to their past. .

On this day, Nanny Ye quietly found Meng Wenyao and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Chengqing Palace has sent many people out to stare at the Regent all day long. In the past few days, there are still a few people staring at our Zhaoyang Palace. Your Majesty, , we have to be careful, the Queen Mother is probably going crazy, why is she staring at us for no reason?"

This is not for no reason. The Queen Mother has been immersed in the harem for more than ten years, and there are many open and hidden lines. No matter how clever Gu Shaoyu disguises himself, there may be loopholes. Since people are staring at Zhaoyang Palace, they must have discovered something.

"It doesn't matter. If the Queen Mother's people want to investigate, don't stop her. Tell her as much as you can. Also, don't let Caixing know about this matter."

The Queen Mother is so anxious to find someone, so the kind-hearted Meng Wenyao must satisfy the Queen Mother. What action will the Queen Mother take when she finds out that Meng Wenyao is the person behind this?

The emperor was waiting to send the queen mother to the imperial mausoleum. It would always be a disaster if the queen mother left like this. After all, she had the title of queen mother and overshadowed Meng Wenyao in terms of filial piety.

The Meng family and the Queen Mother can no longer get along. If you want to get rid of the Queen Mother, you can't rely on the emperor's anger. No matter whether it is justice or personal love, the emperor cannot kill his mother.

Then Gu Shaoyu can only take action. As long as the Queen Mother knows about Gu Shaoyu and Meng Wenyao, once this matter is brought out, the former lovers will definitely turn against each other.

Soon, with Nanny Ye's intentional or unintentional revelation, the Queen Mother's people were keen to find some clues.

"The Empress Dowager, I have been conducting inquiries for many days and found that the Regent goes to Zhaoyang Palace every night. I have searched all the palace attendants in Zhaoyang Palace and feel that none of them seem to be the Prince Regent's lover. Could it be that the information is wrong?"

The empress dowager's well-maintained face was filled with sternness unconsciously, and she said sinisterly: "The information is correct, the person must be from Zhaoyang Palace, are you sure you checked everyone?"

The palace maid thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I'm sure, everyone has checked it, and it really doesn't look like it."

After saying this, the palace maid felt that something seemed wrong and hesitated: "Only one person didn't check."

"Who?"

"Queen."

The beads in the Queen Mother's hand suddenly fell to the ground and scattered everywhere. She suppressed the turmoil in her heart and said in a trembling voice: "Do you think she could be the Queen?"

The palace maid was also frightened by her own thoughts, and it took her a long time to reply: "My slaves make people stare at every palace maid in Zhaoyang Palace. Everyone falls asleep alone. Only the queen, our people can't get close to her bedroom. She doesn’t let anyone keep watch in her dormitory at night. I don’t know if she sleeps alone at night, or..."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes tightly, swallowed the sweet taste in her throat, and said softly: "The Ai family will go and confirm in person."

That night, Nanny Ye quietly found Meng Wenyao again and whispered: "My Lady, a palace maid has sneaked into your bedroom and is hiding behind the window curtain of the cubicle. Do you want to let someone arrest her quietly?" .”

"No, you go to the Chengqing Palace to find the Queen Mother now. Just tell her that I am pregnant and fainted. The Emperor is fasting. The people in Zhaoyang Palace are in chaos. Everyone is confused. Let the Queen Mother come and take charge of the overall situation."

Grandma Ye raised her head and glanced at Meng Wenyao. She didn't understand why Meng Wenyao was telling such a lie so late at night. However, her good cultivation allowed her to know when to shut up. She quickly took the order and went to Chengqing Palace.

Meng Wenyao stood in the palace and looked at the moon outside the door. If the Queen Mother heard the news, she would try her best to make the Queen Mother and Gu Shaoyu bump into each other. Otherwise, the Emperor's fast would be over and the Queen Mother would have to go to the imperial mausoleum in full force.

If the Queen Mother hears the news and doesn't come over, then the person behind the window curtain will be a little suspicious.

Halfway through Xu's hour, Gu Shaoyu walked into Zhaoyang Hall in a good mood. He saw Meng Wenyao who had not yet gone to bed, standing there as if she had been waiting for a long time. He put his arms around him and said with a smile, "You miss me so much?"

Meng Wenyao bowed her head shyly and replied: "I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you very much."

After hearing this, Gu Shaoyu chuckled: "Didn't we just meet last night?"

"One day is like three autumns after not seeing each other for a long time. Your Majesty doesn't understand the charm at all."

The two of them walked into the inner room hand in hand. From the time when Grandma Ye made the report to now, more than half an hour had passed. If anyone had come from Chengqing Hall, they would have arrived long ago.
