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

Chapter 448 6 Prince He Killed Crazy for Love 34

Taking out the portrait of the late empress, the emperor complained: "Zitong, it's because Heng'er has no child. Do you blame me? It's giving me nightmares even in broad daylight."

Soon, two imperial edicts were issued, and the imperial concubine and the fourth prince both stayed in jail to think about their mistakes, waiting for the investigation results of the Criminal Punishment Department.

In the Hanguang Palace, the imperial concubine already knew the emperor's will. She believed that the emperor would find out everything she did not do.

Maybe in a few days, the emperor will clear her name. What she has to do now is to find the person who plotted against her.

The first thing she thought of was Meng Wenyao, and then she quickly denied it. Everyone close to him knew that the fourth prince was infertile.

After so many days of treatment, Meng Wenyao finally became pregnant with a child, and she would definitely be reluctant to use the child to frame her.

She searched through the harem, but couldn't find anyone who could make small moves under her nose.

So in the entire palace, the emperor is the only one who can make Meng Wenyao lose her child without anyone noticing?

The imperial concubine was startled by her guess. She didn't know how she came up with this, but it was not impossible.

The emperor seemed to dote on the sixth prince, but deep down he probably didn't like him at all.

But no matter what, since she didn't do the thing, she could remain calm.

It's just grounding.

She felt at ease and began to think about her faults behind closed doors, but the fourth prince who didn't know the inside story was really anxious to death.

He communicates privately with the courtiers on weekdays and has his own confidants. The confidants tell him that there are many rumors about things at the polo match that are not conducive to him.

The most obvious ones are the several noble girls who play polo with him. They have already started dating at home, and they clearly don't want to get married to him.

Whether he doesn't want to wade into troubled waters or feels that he is about to fall out of favor, this is a wake-up call for him.

He and the imperial concubine were punished at the same time, and there was no one to intercede with each other. The fourth prince felt that the situation was critical.

Hanguang Hall and his palace were surrounded by people sent by the emperor. It was very difficult to convey the message. If the emperor discovered it, there might be greater punishment.

After much thought, the best way was to ask for help outside the palace.

Fortunately, after years of training by the emperor, several of the fourth prince's uncles have become important border generals.

He quickly wrote a letter asking for help and asked his confidants to hurry up and send it to the frontier.

Originally, the emperor had been investigating for several days but did not find any useful clues. No one who served in the royal study admitted to being the concubine's spy.

The emperor hesitated whether to symbolically punish the imperial concubine. Even if she did not pry into the emperor's privacy, she would have caused Meng Wenyao's miscarriage.

But just when he was thinking about how to punish the imperial concubine to make her restrain herself without chilling the hearts of Li Heng and Meng Wenyao.

The secret guard reported to him, and the fourth prince privately wrote a letter asking for help and sent it to the border.

Without even reading the content of the letter, the emperor already understood the fourth prince's intention.

The imperial concubine and the fourth prince who once relied entirely on him have transformed into the empress and prince they once were.

If the fourth prince's uncles knew that their nephew and sister were in trouble and impulsively led their troops back, they would probably be plotted for the second time.

The emperor's head hurt again, and nightmares intertwined between day and night.

This time, the fourth prince appears the most as a rebel protagonist.

"Come here, go ask the Minister of War."

In Chengming Hall, Li Heng took close care of Meng Wenyao every day, fearing that she would be sad and hurt after losing her child.

"The imperial concubine and the fourth prince are still grounded. Don't worry, they won't escape punishment easily this time."

Meng Wenyao, who was taking the medicinal meal, glanced at Li Heng without any trace. His eyes looked gloomy and his face was cold.

Alas, Meng Wenyao sighed inwardly, a false pregnancy made this young man depressed.

"Your Highness, have you done something? Over the years, the imperial concubine and the fourth prince have made mistakes. Why does the emperor act like he really wants to be severely punished this time?"

"I don't need to do anything, the fourth child can't hold it on by himself." A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Heng's mouth.

"What did the fourth prince do?" Meng Wenyao asked suspiciously.

The smile on Li Heng's lips deepened and he said mockingly: "He has not cultivated any power in these years. When something goes wrong, he only thinks of asking his uncle for help."

Afraid that Meng Wenyao wouldn't understand, Li Heng explained: "The concubine's brothers are all serving as generals at the border. Now that the fourth prince's letter for help is sent out, the emperor will become suspicious even if he is not suspicious. My father is most afraid of others. Conspiracy."

"Eat quickly, it's almost cold, be careful not to hurt your stomach."

Under Li Heng's urging, Meng Wenyao quickly finished the rest of the medicinal meal, and then continued to ask: "If the emperor really loves the fourth prince, he doesn't take it to heart."

"The emperor's love for the fourth prince is probably not as deep as you think."

Li Heng snorted coldly, helped Meng Wenyao tuck the quilt tightly, and said briskly: "Do you know what the first thing the emperor did when he heard the fourth prince's letter for help?"

"what?"

"Invited the Minister of War."

Meng Wenyao was a little confused after hearing this, why was the Minister of the Ministry of War involved again?

Before Meng Wenyao could ask, Li Heng explained: "The emperor invited the Minister of War to ask the border generals to change their defenses. Each general has to go to another place to serve. Leaving the territory where they have been operating for many years, even a dragon has to be sandwiched. The tail is like a snake for a few days.

The emperor's move seemed like a normal move, but he separated the concubine's brothers, who were thousands of miles away from each other. "

"Divide and attack them?" Meng Wenyao asked curiously.

"Smart." Li Heng kissed Meng Wenyao's forehead and said with a smile, "I have some things to deal with. You need to get some sleep first."

He left the main hall and went to the study room, where someone had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Highness, good news. Several of your grandfather's former subordinates have been transferred to places closer to the capital this time, and two have been transferred to places belonging to the imperial concubine's natal brothers."

"Okay," Li Heng clapped his hands and his eyes brightened.

"The emperor is now very jealous of the imperial concubine and the fourth prince. You ask them to find the evidence of the imperial concubine's mother-in-law's brother as soon as possible. They have been entrenched for many years, and they have no worries about not finding it. Then they quickly spread the word to the capital. The emperor is now suspicious of Zhengsheng. It is inevitable that he will not take a few Someone comes out for surgery."

After Li Heng finished explaining, the eunuch bowed and said: "Old slave, I will go and deliver the message right now."

"Wait a minute, you can send someone to Ninggu Pagoda to bring the princess's grandfather's family back."

The eunuch was horrified and said: "No, Your Highness, the Liu family is still in exile. If you act rashly and someone finds out, our many years of hard work may be ruined."

Li Heng looked at the increasingly warm spring light outside, and felt heartbroken when he thought that Meng Wenyao was often cold all over after giving birth.

"Now everyone is focusing on the fourth prince, and no one is paying attention to the Liu family. Besides, Ning Gu Pagoda is far away. By the time they return to the capital, the dust may have settled."
