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

"My maid, Meng, thanks you, the noble concubine."

Meng Wenyao kowtowed and saluted, and then heard the lazy voice inside: "Reward."

A pretty figure walked out from behind the screen, strolled up to Meng Wenyao, and said condescendingly: "Miss Meng, take the jade bracelet that the empress rewarded."

Meng Wenyao caught it with both hands and put it on her hands, knelt down to thank her again, and then without leaving a trace, sprinkled a large amount of unknown powder on the dress, shoes and socks of the palace maid in front of her.

Meng Wenyao felt a little regretful as she had no chance to get the medicinal powder into the concubine's tea.

However, the imperial concubine's palace was as warm as spring. In such a warm room, the medicinal powder would inevitably evaporate in large quantities, and since the palace maid was serving the imperial concubine closely, the imperial concubine would inevitably inhale a lot of medicinal powder.

If the imperial concubine's face is rotten by then, she may not have good luck in curing her face.

Ever since she knew that she was going to marry the sixth prince, Meng Wenyao knew that the two of them would share weal and woe.

If the sixth prince was in a very difficult situation while the emperor was still alive, then after the emperor dies and the fourth prince ascends the throne, the sixth prince will surely live in dire straits.

As the sixth prince's concubine, I had to make plans early. In the deep palace, it was either you who died or I lived.

After leaving Hanguang Hall, it was snowing heavily outside. Meng Wenyao did not bring an umbrella when she came out, and she did not have a fur cloak. She walked hard to Chengming Hall wearing a cotton coat.

As soon as he arrived outside Chengming Hall, he met Li Heng who had returned from the snow.

"Why did Your Highness leave school so early today?"

Li Heng raised his eyes and saw Meng Wenyao, and immediately took off his cloak. Meng Wenyao surrounded her tightly and hugged her inside.

"It's such a cold day, you're in good health, where have you been?"

Feeling the warmth of the cloak, Meng Wenyao put a sweet smile on her lips: "The imperial edict of marriage has been issued, and I have gone to express my gratitude to the noble concubine."

Hearing that Meng Wenyao went to Hanguang Hall, Li Heng's hand holding Meng Wenyao stiffened and said seriously: "Did she cause trouble for you?"

"No."

As soon as Meng Wenyao finished speaking, Aunt Yue, who was half a step behind, retorted: "The imperial concubine made Miss Meng stand outside for almost an hour. When she was thanking her, she didn't let Miss Meng in, so she kowtowed outside the screen. "

The Sixth Prince was already having a difficult time in the palace, and Meng Wenyao didn't want the Sixth Prince to know that he had been wronged, which would make him lose face.

But now that Aunt Yue had spoken out, Meng Wenyao had to force a smile and said: "After we get married, we will go to the fiefdom. We can't bear the grievances in the palace for a few days. I don't take it to heart. Your Highness, don't feel bad for me." .”

After hearing the words, Li Heng lowered his eyes and showed no emotion. He just turned around and told Aunt Yue: "Go and make ginger soup for Miss Meng."

After entering the room, Li Heng took Meng Wenyao's hand and asked seriously: "Follow me and make you suffer. Will you regret following me to the fiefdom in the future?"

"Why is Your Highness asking such a question again? I have already said that I will be content to follow His Highness for the rest of my life."

Li Heng suddenly hugged Meng Wenyao into his arms. Since he was imprisoned in the Cold Palace ten years ago, everyone in the world, except Aunt Yue, wanted to stay three meters away from him, for fear of having anything to do with him.

Even if he left the cold palace and became a prince again, none of the ladies in the capital would be willing to spend the rest of their lives with him.

He had prepared to live a lonely life, but now that Meng Wenyao was following him wholeheartedly, he would never let Meng Wenyao down.

After watching Meng Wenyao drink the ginger soup, Li Heng left and went to the main hall.

It was snowing heavily outside, and Li Heng was sitting there alone without lighting a lamp. In the dim light, an old eunuch came behind him.

"Your Highness, the concubine has informed the emperor that your wedding banquet will be held together with the New Year's Eve banquet, and the emperor has agreed."

Knowing that he was not in the emperor's heart, the sixth prince didn't even raise his eyebrows, and kept sneering in his heart. How could his father think of his son in the cold palace if he hadn't had nightmares.

"Don't cut off the Anshenxiang. It will be used by my father every day. Have you contacted the generals who served under my grandfather back then?"

The former prince rebelled and was deposed. The generals who followed the prince had been severely suppressed in recent years. They were well aware of the emperor's fear. With no other way out, they had no choice but to take the risk and contact the sixth prince in the cold palace.

Knowing that the generals wanted to join him, Li Heng immediately gathered the men who had been left behind by the late empress in the palace, and used special soothing incense for the emperor every day.

Under the nightmare day after day, the emperor finally thought of the prince in the cold palace. After realizing his conscience, he released the sixth prince from the cold palace.

Through these days of contact with the emperor, Li Heng clearly understood that the emperor only wanted him to be a wealthy and virtuous king for the rest of his life.

But if that's the case, how can he be worthy of the dead prince and queen, as well as the various people who have gathered around him.

"Back to Your Highness, several generals have been contacted. They are sworn to be loyal to Your Highness. As long as His Highness gives an order, they are willing to follow His Highness and immediately raise their troops to rebel."

"Oh, it has already failed once. Your Majesty must guard against the troops stationed in various places. Raising troops to rebel is the next best thing. Let them stand still first."

"Yes."

Li Heng thought for a long time and then said: "Why was Liu Qingping exiled back then? Have someone check it out and find an opportunity to vindicate him."

After listening in, the old lady immediately retorted: "Your Highness, Liu Qingping is an old minister of the former crown prince. Back then, letters related to garrisons in various places were found in his study. The emperor said that Liu Qingping instigated the prince to contact the courtiers, and that was why the Liu family was exiled. That is also Give the then prince a beating."

"The emperor hates the former prince for treason and will never vindicate the Liu family. Even if we have solid evidence, it will not help."

After listening to the old eunuch's words, Li Heng tossed his sleeves irritably and ordered: "Then look for evidence of the crimes of Mrs. Meng Shangshu and the Hu family, and find an opportunity to bring down the Hu family."

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being presumptuous. Are you doing this to let Miss Meng's aunt? Your Highness, you have just come out of the cold palace. You must not expose your strength prematurely for the sake of the inner house!"

"I am not doing it for Miss Meng. If Hu marries the fourth prince, Meng Shangshu will inevitably sway. As long as Meng Shangshu only has my choice, it is safe."

The old eunuch still felt that the Sixth Prince wanted to abolish the Hu family lineage because of Meng Wenyao. He wanted to persuade him again, but also thought that the Sixth Prince had been in the cold palace for many years. It was rare for someone to take him seriously, so why not just let him go for once.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely try my best to investigate."

After the old eunuch left, Li Heng looked towards the side hall through the heavy snow. He held in his hand the jade pendant that the late empress gave him before she died. He swore in his heart: "The wedding is in a hurry. In the future, my highness will give birth to the queen. The whole world celebrates you."
