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

In the evening of that day, Ning Qinghan told his mother: "Invite the emperor here, and tell him that I want to see the emperor one last time after I asked you to be deposed."

Meng Mingxuan originally didn't want to see Ning Qinghan, but considering that it was the last time and that the Ning family had been exterminated, he felt a little sorry for Ning Qinghan. He sighed and came to Fengyi Palace.

Ning Qinghan had already taken off her queen's clothes and was dressed the same as before entering the palace. However, her hair had grown prematurely and there were traces on her face that even makeup could not cover.

This made Meng Mingxuan even more uncomfortable. In the blink of an eye, he and Ning Qinghan had been husband and wife for many years. They had been in love and their childhood sweethearts had reached this point.

"Your Majesty, I know that I am not very blessed, and I will not be able to always be by your side in the future. Please take good care of yourself. I will recite sutras and pray for blessings every day in front of the Buddha."

After saying this, she bowed down, and Meng Mingxuan emotionally helped her up: "I am here for the sake of my descendants. I have many unavoidable circumstances. Qinghan, you have to be considerate of me."

Ning Qinghan's face was soft, and he could not see any discomfort. His eyes looking at the emperor were even full of infinite nostalgia.

"I understand that I have been in the palace for many years and have not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughters. The emperor has so few heirs. This is my dereliction of duty. I don't ask for anything else. I just want to have a quiet meal with the emperor." Rice, end this mortal relationship."

When a simple meal was served, Meng Mingxuan was stunned, and Ning Qinghan smiled bitterly: "I made it myself, I hope the emperor will not dislike it."

"No, I still trust your craftsmanship."

The two of them ate the meal peacefully, but Meng Mingxuan felt mixed emotions. After finally finishing the meal, Ning Qinghan had another plate of snacks brought to him.

"This egg yolk cake was taught to me by the late empress herself. I heard that the emperor likes it the most. You can try it and you will like it."

Meng Mingxuan was quite moved. He felt that if he stayed any longer, he might not be able to bear to ruin Ning Qinghan, so he had better eat quickly and leave.

He picked up an egg yolk cake and tasted it carefully: "As expected of the mother-in-law, the taste is exactly the same. The queen is interested."

After saying that, he ate another one, got up and left.

The autumn wind gradually picked up, and the coolness slowly invaded people's bodies. Meng Wenyao suddenly woke up while lying in Ye Lianyi's arms.

"What's wrong, princess? Are you having a nightmare?"

Ye Lianyi hugged Meng Wenyao tightly and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it's just a nightmare. I'm here."

There was no place in the room, and Meng Wenyao was at a loss as to where she was. It took her a while to remember that this was the princess's mansion.

"I suddenly felt very painful, as if something had happened."

With that said, Meng Wenyao was about to get up and get dressed. Ye Lianyi didn't know why, so she also got up.

Meng Wenyao hurried to Chen Ye's room and saw that the children were sleeping soundly. Then she went to see Zhao Yang and the third and fourth children. She felt relieved only after she was sure that the children were all well.

But the desolation and pain in my heart never went away.

"I want to enter the palace."

"I will accompany you."

When we arrived at the gate of the palace, it was just about time. The palace gate was closed tightly. Everything was as usual, but Meng Wenyao's heart was beating like a drum.

"Go into the palace and see what the emperor is doing."

Ye Lianyi flew over the palace wall and arrived at Weiyang Palace in a blink of an eye. He leaned over the palace to listen and was so shocked that he almost fell down. He quickly left the palace to tell Meng Wenyao.

The moment he saw Meng Wenyao, he was suddenly afraid to speak out. He hugged the slightly trembling Meng Wenyao tightly.

"Princess, hold on."

"Tell me, I won't be here."

"The Emperor passed away."

The moon hid in the dark clouds at some point, and the night sky suddenly became darker. Meng Wenyao's hand tightly grasped Ye Lianyi's arm, and her nails dug into his flesh.

"You leave the city quickly and mobilize all the troops from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to enter the city. After entering the city, seal the nine gates. Don't let anyone leave the city to prevent someone from sending a message out and causing unrest on the border. I will return home and wait for you to come back with your troops."

"it is good."

Meng Wenyao couldn't understand why Meng Mingxuan died when he was fine. He was so young and in good health. Could it be fate?

He died young in his previous life, and even if he were to come back to this life again, he would still be unable to escape fate.

She numbly helped Chen Ye get dressed and told him: "Chen Ye, no matter what happens next, just listen to my aunt, don't be afraid."

"My nephew is not afraid." The childish voice made Meng Wenyao's cold body feel a little warm.

They got into the carriage and started to rush to the palace.

At this time, the ministers who were going to court slowly arrived, and everyone started talking about the closed palace door. It was about to go to court in the morning, so why was the palace door still not open?

Several courtiers sent people to check other palace doors and found that all the palace doors were closed tightly and there was no movement. It was strange that everyone was talking louder and louder.

The sky brightened, and the palace door slowly opened, but only a crack was left.

"The imperial decree declares that courtiers of the third rank and above will enter the palace, while the rest will go home and wait for orders."

Several important ministers were about to enter the palace when Meng Wenyao got off the carriage and shouted: "Wait, what happened in the palace? Why did you let others go home?"

When the visitor saw that she was a princess, she knew that this was the key person whom the queen had assigned to comfort, and she said with a flattering look: "Princess, the emperor feels cold. The court meeting will not be held today. Please bring the eldest prince and the courtiers in with you." Palace."

Meng Wenyao squeezed Chen Ye's hand and kept tightening it. Meng Chenye frowned, endured it, and whispered: "Aunt?"

What is the truth? If Meng Mingxuan is good and she breaks in with her troops, does it mean she is treason? And Ye Lianyi has a hundred thousand soldiers and horses in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, so he can usurp the throne immediately.

If Meng Mingxuan was already dead, and she went in alone now, wouldn't it be possible for the queen to catch a turtle in the urn? By then, all three princes would be in Ning Qinghan's hands, and she didn't think any of them would survive for a moment longer.

"Yesterday, the third prince acted nonsense and disrespected the eldest prince. The third prince promised to apologize to the eldest prince in public today. Now go into the palace and ask the third prince to come out. Apologize to the eldest prince at the gate of the palace. Just in time for the courtiers to watch the third prince say what he said. OK."

The eunuch who came to convey the order did not know the secrets in the palace. He naively thought that the princess wanted the eldest prince and the third prince to act like brothers and sisters in front of the courtiers. The emperor must have wanted to see it, so he ran back quickly. I went to the palace to ask for instructions.

Weiyang Palace has been controlled by Ning Qinghan, so this request for instructions naturally reached Ning Qinghan's ears.

After thinking about it for a while, she felt that Meng Wenyao would not know that Meng Mingxuan was dead. She probably wanted the brothers to be respectful to each other by making such a fuss, so she immediately sent the third prince to the palace gate.

Lin Jiaojiao in Yuehua Palace had no idea what was going on. How could she allow the queen's people to take the third prince away, and beat the person who came to deliver the order half to death based on her status as the imperial concubine.

Ning Qinghan then thought that there was Lin Jiaojiao in the palace who had not been dealt with. When the second prince ascended the throne, she would be the queen mother. Lin Jiaojiao would die sooner or later, so it was better to send her on her way as soon as possible to avoid being an eyesore.
