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

The imperial concubine saw that the emperor was in a good mood, and then praised: "Your Majesty, I am not bragging. The fourth child may have been a little playful before, but important matters are never vague. You see this time you entrusted him with an important task, and he started to work conscientiously. How can I He looks like he is just messing around. Your Majesty, please assign more things to him in the future, and ask him to help him learn to do some serious things, so that he will not be idle all day long and make my concubine upset. "

The emperor reached for the cup in front of him, looked at the light brown fruit wine, and said with a smile: "The fourth child is now capable. He has already started to make it himself without any need of my assignment."

The imperial concubine was stunned. Before she could tell whether the emperor was complimenting or sarcastically speaking, she saw her eldest brother coming over with a deer leg.

"Your Majesty, this is the deer I hunted myself. It's roasted and charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The meat is delicious. You can try it."

Military generals are always informal, and Uncle Guo even took the deer leg and put it on the emperor's desk.

The imperial concubine knew very well the rules of palace dining. How could the emperor eat anything without going through all the poison tests?

She took it with sharp eyes and quick hands, and said with a smile: "I helped the emperor cut a portion."

The uncle, who was a bit drunk, looked down on the concubine's arrogance and said with a wave of his hand: "Mother, this barbecue is meant to be eaten directly. You are the emperor and eat it in small bites like you ladies." !”

The eunuch who was cutting meat next to him was stunned when he said this. Didn't the emperor always eat it in small bites?

Just take it and chew it? Thanks to his uncle, if it were another emperor, he would have been dragged out and beaten with a cane.

How ungentlemanly!

The courtiers in the distance looked at the scene of the emperor and the concubine's uncle's family getting married, and they felt envious in their hearts. This once unknown family was favored by the emperor just because they gave birth to a beautiful girl. The rooster and dog ascended to heaven.

The imperial concubine's family is about to become the best family in the world. It makes people drool at the sight, and they can only turn their grief and anger into appetite, and eat the barbecue with big mouthfuls.

Suddenly, a loud shout of harmony came from outside the camp.

Before everyone could hear what it was, they saw a guard striding over and whispering something in the emperor's ear.

I don't know what happened, but everyone saw the emperor slamming the chopsticks on the table, as if a storm was about to come and the whole building was filled with wind.

Seeing the emperor's appearance, Meng Wenyao was startled. Could it be that Li Heng returned to the capital with the emperor's secret order, and even the Imperial Guards and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division did not capture the fourth prince?

"Don't be afraid, Princess. Your Highness has sent a message. Everything is going well. Princess, please take care of yourself."

Suddenly a voice came, and Meng Wenyao knew it was the secret guard left by Li Heng. She quickly turned around to ask if Li Heng was injured, but the atmosphere at the scene was strange, and she was afraid that her actions would arouse everyone's suspicion.

Despite her efforts to restrain her expression, the emperor still looked at her.

"Sixth daughter-in-law, come here."

Meng Wenyao lowered her head and walked to the emperor, and then heard the emperor say: "Stay with me, don't wander around."

This change was beyond Meng Wenyao's imagination. She was running her brain rapidly, thinking about what happened in the capital?

Li Heng was killed by the fourth prince, and the emperor wanted to appease her?

It's unlikely. You can find an opportunity to comfort yourself, there's no need to do it now.

That means the fourth prince was killed by Li Heng, and the emperor used her, Meng Wenyao, to contain Li Heng?

It is very possible that Meng Wenyao knew that she had only this value.

If this is the case, either Li Heng has rebelled, so the emperor has to guard against Li Heng, or the emperor wants to take care of Li Heng by the way, so he keeps her with him as a hostage.

She looked around at the environment. There were many guards around the emperor, and it was too difficult to escape.

Then there is only one way left.

Meng Wenyao pretended not to notice anything, knelt down beside the table, and picked up the glass of wine that the imperial concubine poured for the emperor.

"Father, it's hot, please moisturize your throat."

The shouts outside were getting closer and closer, and the imperial concubine became anxious.

"Your Majesty, what's going on outside? It's so noisy. You should send people to kill them immediately, so as not to alarm the Holy Master."

The uncle who was still standing there in a daze immediately answered, "Your Majesty, I will go to investigate and help you get rid of this noisy thief."

After the uncle strode away, the emperor summoned the commander of the imperial guards and coldly ordered: "The fourth prince has rebelled. Now he has led his troops to the camp. Go and kill him immediately..."

He turned his head and glanced at the pale-faced imperial concubine, smiled strangely and said, "Go and capture these uncles, whether they are alive or dead."

The imperial guards took the order and went forward. The imperial concubine reacted and immediately threw herself at the emperor's feet: "Your Majesty, it is impossible for the emperor to rebel. There must be a misunderstanding. You must be aware of it!"

"It must be a villain who framed the emperor. You ask the emperor to come over, and I will ask him to explain to you. You must believe in the emperor and I!"

The imperial concubine cried heartbreakingly, and Meng Wenyao's heart felt cold.

The fourth prince came to kill him. Does it mean that Li Heng was killed?

She clenched her trembling fists, determined to avenge Li Heng, even if she risked her life to avenge Li Heng.

The imperial concubine was still crying and explaining. Some ministers in the distance saw the imperial guards leaving the emperor like wolves and tigers. They thought they were going to resist the emperor outside the camp. They carried the legs of mutton and deer in their hands to make way for the imperial guards. .

Several uncles said disapprovingly: "You imperial guards are just showmen. You have never fought anyone with real guns or knives. Just stay there and let us brothers help the emperor clean up the thieves."

The commander of the Imperial Guard had a cold face, as if he hadn't heard anything, and squeezed out two words from his throat.

"Take it."

Everyone was surprised to find that the Imperial Guards did not go to arrest Xiao Xiao outside the camp, but actually pushed several drunk uncles to the ground on the spot.

Although the uncles were able to hunt tigers alone on weekdays, today they were too drunk and completely unprepared, so they were easily captured by the imperial guards they looked down upon.

"No, are you drunk? Why are you arresting us?"

As soon as one person shouted, a smelly sock was stuffed into his mouth.

The onlookers immediately retreated three feet away, fearing that they would also be implicated, but their gossipy nature made them unable to help but sigh.

"What's going on? The imperial concubine is about to become a queen. Why did the emperor arrest her brothers?"

Speaking of the imperial concubine, everyone looked up and saw the noble imperial concubine kowtowing in apology.

"Your Majesty, please spare my concubines and brothers. They don't know anything. It's impossible for the Fourth Brother to rebel. You can have the Fourth Brother captured and ask him personally."

As soon as the imperial concubine finished speaking, a soldier ran over from outside the camp and shouted: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is leading an attack. Please move."

The emperor remained calm on his face, but still frightened in his heart. He could not think for a moment before deciding that he could not turn around and run away.
