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

Hearing this, the eunuch was shocked again. Unexpectedly, the sixth prince planned to advance his plan because of the fourth prince's matter.

He knew that he could not change anything, so he silently retreated, glanced in the direction of the main hall, and felt murderous intent.

This princess was so valued by the Sixth Prince that even at the critical moment of seizing the throne, she did not forget to help her mother-in-law, which was really a drag on the Sixth Prince.

But the murderous intention disappeared in just a moment. Only Meng Wenyao had conceived a child for the sixth prince. What if he killed Meng Wenyao and the sixth prince had no heirs in the future?

The eunuch sighed quietly towards the main hall, turned and left.

As the fourth prince and the imperial concubine were confined for a longer period of time, changes slowly occurred in the court and the harem.

Many people began to gradually draw a clear line between them and the fourth prince and the noble concubine.

Even Mrs. Hu asked someone to tell her to let the concubine release Meng Wenlan.

In order to find a suitable marriage for the fourth prince, the imperial concubine had to agree to Meng Wenlan's marriage to the fourth prince.

Ever since Meng Wenlan entered the palace, the fourth prince had never looked directly at Meng Wenlan. Now that Hu asked someone to take the lead, the imperial concubine was secretly annoyed that Hu was being looked down upon.

Why didn't Meng Wenlan Wu Chong ask someone to go out at the beginning, but now she is adding insult to injury.

She angrily scolded the person who brought the message: "Don't say that I am still a noble concubine now, but I will be in trouble in the future. Since she, Meng Wenlan, is already the fourth prince, she will never leave the fourth prince."

"Someone, send Meng Wenlan to the Fourth Prince to serve him."

Although the imperial concubine and the fourth prince were banned, Meng Wenlan was not among them. With her current operation, she clearly regarded Meng Wenlan as the fourth prince's person. It was impossible for Meng Shangshu to distance herself from the fourth prince.

Since Meng Wenlan was confined to the side hall by the imperial concubine, she had no idea what was going on outside. Suddenly she was told that she had to serve the fourth prince. She was very happy, thinking that her hardships were finally over.

When I arrived at the Fourth Prince's palace, I saw the heavy troops guarding the place outside. Even in my stupid head, I knew something was fishy. It seemed like the Fourth Prince had made a big mistake.

She wanted to run away. When she was enjoying the blessings with the fourth prince, no one thought highly of her. Now that the fourth prince was in trouble, she had to spend her whole life to pay homage to him, and there was no way.

Unfortunately, she only ran two steps before she was grabbed by the eunuch beside her. No matter how much she cried and yelled, she was still packed into the fourth prince's palace.

In the early days of her confinement, the imperial concubine was still able to keep her composure. Later, she heard that the Shenxing Division had found out nothing, but the emperor just couldn't understand her confinement, and she began to panic.

Like the fourth prince, she began to write letters to her natal family. Her letter was more straightforward, asking her natal brothers to contact the courtiers, and the emperor would seal the letter.

As the emperor's favorite concubine for many years, she knew that the emperor was afraid of the prince's rebellion. Now that the emperor has no intention of establishing a prince, it is feasible to make him a queen.

In the current harem, if the emperor were to grant him the title of queen, there would really be no one else available besides her.

As long as she is named queen, the fourth prince will still be able to retain his position as crown prince.

Moreover, she heard that the emperor was going to change the border defenses. If her brothers collapsed under the emperor's pressure in the future, her future would be bleak.

She wanted to take advantage of the fact that the border change had not yet taken place, while her biological brothers were still in power, to seek more real power for herself.

Since the lineage of the former empress was eliminated, the concubine's natal family, with the emperor's connivance, has indeed accumulated a lot of real power in the border areas.

Now that they had received a letter from the imperial concubine, they thought that the emperor would change his defenses, fearing that the glory and wealth in front of them would disappear as the imperial concubine fell out of favor.

Immediately let people use the savings collected over the years to bribe courtiers and win over all parties.

Soon there were more and more memorials in the court regarding the establishment of the queen. The emperor looked at the queen and sneered: "The imperial concubine has a big appetite."

Unexpectedly, the longer the imperial concubine and the fourth prince were locked up, the stronger the desires that surfaced beneath them would become.

Nowadays, instead of establishing a prince, he has become a queen.

He has never taken the imperial concubine seriously, and now watching the imperial concubine jump up and down is like watching a clown.

The decree to change the border defenses has been issued. Soon all the border generals will be replaced. The brothers of the imperial concubine's mother's family will not be able to stay alive for long.

The emperor is still very confident in his grasp of imperial power.

Back then, he was able to narrowly defeat the rebellion of the late empress's natal family, but now it's not a matter of raising his hand to deal with the noble concubine's family.

It's a pity that such a little grasshopper caught the emperor by surprise.

The post-sealing memorial did not last for a few days, and the border suddenly became urgent.

Meng Wenyao, who was in confinement, knew that something unexpected had happened when she saw Li Heng's frown getting tighter and tighter.

"Your Highness, does the Emperor plan to release the fourth prince and the noble concubine?"

Li Heng shook his head, fed Meng Wenyao another mouthful of meat porridge, and said, "It's nothing, don't worry."

"But His Highness's worries are written on his face, how can I not be worried?"

"It's not a matter in the palace, it's a problem at the border." Li Heng said gloomily.

"Border pass?" Meng Wenyao continued to ask.

Li Heng smiled bitterly. If he didn't say anything, Meng Wenyao expected that Yao would keep asking. He said helplessly: "The border crossing on the concubine's mother's side and her brothers said that the Xiongnu suddenly invaded and the situation is critical. They may break through the border and enter the capital."

"The Xiongnu have been in silence for many years. I heard that they are fighting fiercely among themselves. How come they still have the strength to come and fight us?"

Rubbing Meng Wenyao's messy hair, Li Heng said with a smile: "Even you know something, how could those old foxes in the court and the emperor not know it. But you look at the problem too simply. This is not a problem of the Huns' invasion, it's a problem of the emperor." If we don’t establish a queen, the concubine’s mother-in-law’s brothers can really allow the Huns to invade.”

"Ah, how dare they? Isn't this a threat?"

Li Heng sighed and said: "Slaves deceive their masters, and there have been many generals who support their troops and respect themselves since ancient times. The brothers of the imperial concubine's mother's family are worried that the imperial concubine has really fallen out of favor. Anyway, if their glory and wealth are gone, he will not dare to risk the lives of others." , and they don’t care about the emperor’s status. If they really let go and let the Xiongnu enter, it’s not impossible.”

Hearing Li Heng's analysis, Meng Wenyao could no longer lie down and said in horror: "What if the emperor doesn't agree? Do they really dare? My maternal grandfather's family is still in Ninggu Pagoda, not far from there. When the time comes, the Huns will enter." no……"

Li Heng quickly hugged the anxious Meng Wenyao and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I have sent someone to pick them up. Besides, the emperor may not agree."

"The emperor has been the emperor for most of his life. Will he really be forced to do something he doesn't want to do?"

After Meng Wenyao finished asking, seeing that Li Heng didn't answer for a long time, he raised his head and asked again: "Your Highness, I heard that the imperial concubine and the fourth prince were surrounded by heavy troops. They were communicating with the outside world. Isn't it completely unknown to the emperor?"
