The Heartthrob System cultivates brotherhood online

A safe night.

Early the next morning, someone came to ask Ling Si what to do with the people in the dungeon.

It was easy to get the information. He didn't need to trick these people to find out the locations of the officers and soldiers who were detained separately. However, with Ling Si's current status, it was not suitable for him to appear in front of those people.

"Take me to see." As he said this, he also took Wen Xiangyi with him as a reward for his good performance last night. He could go and see those people. After all, the bandits still needed to rely on those people to control Wen Xiangyi.

The two dungeons were located in the east and west, half a village away from each other. Ling Si observed the surroundings and secretly memorized the route in the village. A quarter of an hour later, the group arrived at the place where the officers and soldiers were imprisoned.

The man guarding the cell was a burly middle-aged man. When he saw Ling Si, who looked like the village chief, he just raised his eyelids with disdain and contempt in his eyes. A thin man following Ling Si felt that the boss was offended, and pointed at him and scolded: "Didn't you see the boss is here? You can't even say hello! Hurry up and open the cell door!"

The middle-aged man swung the machete in his hand and it barely brushed past the thin man's fingers. The man was so scared that his face turned pale and he got a half-hearted apology.

The thin guy wanted to get angry, but Ling Si kicked him: "Stop talking nonsense."

The thin man's expression changed immediately, and he flattered Ling Si to come in.

Wen Xiangyi, accompanied by several people, went into the cell to take a look. With the dim light on both sides, Ling Si and Wen Xiangyi found that the officers and soldiers looked depressed, and the few who were in better spirits just stared at them with resentful eyes.

"See? This is what happens when you disobey." Ling Si turned sideways and said to Wen Xiangyi.

Wen Xiangyi blinked and asked him angrily: "Didn't you give them food?!"

Before Ling Si could respond, the people behind him burst into laughter. "Prisoners should have the consciousness of prisoners. They should eat whatever they are given. There should be some bones left from last night..."

"that is......"

Ling Si pulled Wen Xiangyi into his arms and put his hands around his waist. "I said, as long as you listen, it's just a meal, right?"

Wen Xiangyi's body froze, the warmth on his back seemed to be real, and his voice began to stutter: "You, are you serious? If anything happens to any of them, I will kill you immediately!"

In the eyes of the bandits, this threat was as simple as sprinkling water. After Wen Xiangyi finished speaking, they started to make a fuss, making strange noises, and looking at the two men with obscure eyes.

Wen Xiangyi cursed inwardly but did not show it on his face. He just let Ling Si, who looked like the village chief, hug him, his eyes full of humiliation and helplessness.

He had acted enough and Ling Si was almost disgusted by himself.

"Well, listen to your wife and don't let them starve to death. I have other uses for the imperial officers and soldiers."

The other bandits didn't think much about it and just smiled.

......

As soon as he entered the house, Wen Xiangyi wished he could stay away from Ling Si as far as he could. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.

"Your acting is too disgusting."

"It can't be helped. Who doesn't like to watch forced scenes? Aren't they enjoying watching it?" Ling Si sat down opposite him and poured himself a cup of tea. "Besides, your acting is not bad either."

Wen Xiangyi hesitated for a moment and asked him, "Now that the message cannot be sent out and we cannot leave, what are our plans for the next step?"

Ling Si took a sip of tea, looked at the scum in the cup, and said, "The bandits will naturally rob us. There will be news soon."

"Do you have anyone else?" Wen Xiangyi's first reaction was that Ling Si wanted to attack from outside and cooperate from inside.

Ling Si put down the teacup and said two words: "Fiefdom."

......

Beijing.

Fen Tao saw that the weather was neither too hot nor too cold today, so she asked Jiang Nanxi if he wanted to go out for a walk.

Jiang Nanxi and Yan Gui looked at each other and asked, "When you delivered cakes to His Majesty just now, did you see anyone else in the Imperial Garden?"

Yan Gui raised his eyes, paused, and shook his head: "No."

Jiang Nanxi nodded, retracted her gaze, and just as she stretched out her hand, Fen Tao and another maid who had just arrived a month ago, Su'er, immediately supported her. Fen Tao held Jiang Nanxi's hand tightly, and she even sweated from it.

Fen Tao was embarrassed and let her mistress rest on her arm.

A group of people went towards the Imperial Garden.

......

It was a hot summer day, and ice cubes were distributed to all the concubines in the palace. Jiang Nanxi was pregnant and was afraid of both cold and heat, so all the things were reserved for her. It was estimated that Concubine Xian had disliked her for a long time.

So they happened to meet on the bridge, and neither side wanted to give way.

"Unfortunately, Sister Chunfei, you are out to relax today as well?"

Behind Concubine Xian were two palace maids and several young eunuchs, and she looked very imposing.

Jiang Nanxi didn't want to talk to her any more: "That's really unfortunate."

Xian Fei covered her slightly pregnant belly with her hands, and said with a haughty expression: "Chun Fei is really eloquent and worthy of this title. I am at least considered an elder in the palace. Is it not too much to show my respect?"

"You and I are both the masters of a palace, so why should we bow to each other? Bowing to the virtuous concubine..." Jiang Nanxi looked her up and down and smiled slightly, "You have lowered your status for no reason."

Fen Tao signaled Yan Gui with her eyes: Is this what you mean by no one?

Yan Gui said with a wooden face: Indeed not.

The two palace maids beside Concubine Xian also looked arrogant, not taking their queen seriously at all, especially the one on the left, who had a zombie-like face, even colder than Yan Gui. However, this coldness was different from Yan Gui's. It was a gloomy coldness, or to be more specific, like the coldness of a dead person.

Fen Tao was frightened whenever she saw her and never dealt with her. She always stood in front of Jiang Nanxi for fear of getting involved with something dirty.

Xian Fei was furious. Relying on the fact that she had more people, she ordered the two young eunuchs behind her to teach her a lesson.

Fen Tao and Su'er immediately stood in front of Jiang Nanxi. Fen Tao pushed the little eunuch away and shouted, "Our queen is still pregnant with the dragon fetus, and you are so arrogant. Where do you put the emperor and the royal family? Is it because the queen has the prime minister as a backer that she is so rude and disrespectful to the Jinxiu Palace? "

Those young eunuchs knew the situation well. The favor of Empress Jinxiu was obvious to everyone in the palace. No one wanted to offend the favored one unless it was absolutely necessary. They stood still with hesitation on their faces.

The senior maid behind Concubine Xian also pulled her aside and advised, "Your Highness, don't be willful."

The virtuous concubine regretted what she said the moment she said it, but she couldn't lose face. As a result, the eunuchs serving in her palace were frightened by a little palace maid and stopped listening to her, and their rationality was instantly clouded.

In an instant, all the grievances she had suffered in the cold palace a few days ago and the fear that her father was almost brought down from his throne came pouring out.

She lifted her sleeves, her bloodshot eyes revealing deep resentment, "Then I will personally teach you a lesson. Concubine Chun, as the head of a palace, does not know her duty and insults an official of the imperial court. She should be punished! Even if the emperor asks questions, I have sufficient reasons!"

Jiang Nanxi caught the emotion in Concubine Xian's eyes and her expression turned cold. Fen Tao was small and couldn't withstand her slap. Jiang Nanxi reached out and grabbed Concubine Xian's wrist.

Su'er was stunned for a moment and retracted her outstretched hand into her sleeve. She forgot that Concubine Chun's family was at least of military origin.

Yangui also took a step forward and protected Jiang Nanxi behind him, as if he would step forward immediately if the virtuous concubine made any movement.

"Your Highness, you are so arrogant. Although the Prime Minister is the head of all officials, he is still better than the emperor." Jiang Nanxi tightened his grip on the Concubine's hand, looking down at her painful and twisted expression. "Besides, the Prime Minister just colluded with the Hu people. How did he get his position back? It's worth discussing, right?"

Su'er was a little confused. Why did the Empress always want to provoke Concubine Xian? She had always been a non-competitive person and always waited for the Emperor to make the decision. But today it seemed that she was confronting Concubine Xian.

The beautiful and charming face of Concubine Xian was distorted beyond recognition. The senior palace maid behind her also wanted to come and save her, and pretended to pull Jiang Nanxi's hand.

The incident happened in an instant. Concubine Xian and Concubine Chun both fell into the water. Everyone panicked. Yan Gui and the senior palace maid beside Concubine Xian went down to rescue them one after another. Su'er followed closely behind.

Even in summer, the river water was icy cold. Jiang Nanxi struggled to get out of the water, but someone grabbed her hair. Her heart sank. Concubine Xian wanted her to die.

Unfortunately, she got the wrong person. This time, she has no chance of turning things around!

Yan Gui knocked down Concubine Xian's entangled hands with one palm and lifted Jiang Nanxi out of the water. Then he saw Su'er. The two looked at each other and Yan Gui handed the person to her.

The virtuous concubine was also unlucky. Only one of the eunuchs who came with her knew how to water, so the rest hurried to find eunuchs nearby.

"The Concubine Xian has fallen into the water!"

"The Concubine Xian has fallen into the water!"

......

The dispute here soon alarmed the emperor in the Queen's Palace. When he heard that two pregnant concubines had fallen into the water and smashed the teacup, the Queen frowned. The Fifth Prince Qin Yu'an, who was standing by, also changed his expression when he heard that Jiang Nanxi had fallen into the water. When the Emperor looked over, his face showed appropriate worry.

He asked, "Father, do you want to go and take a look?"

The emperor's face was as dark as water, and he left with a flick of his sleeves: "Listen to what you have to say!?"

The Queen and Qin Yu'an followed quickly.

Both the virtuous concubine and her maid were rescued, but unfortunately, the latter had already died, and the former had miscarried as soon as she got ashore. The imperial physician felt her pulse and saw that her face was in a state of despair. He trembled and reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, calm down. The virtuous concubine has already shown signs of miscarriage."

"Is there any other way to keep it?"

The imperial physician leaned forward and said, "I will do my best to save you!"

The emperor went to ask about Concubine Chun's condition. Jiang Nanxi looked pale, with beads of sweat on her face and unbearable abdominal pain. Several palace maids stayed by her side. The queen also looked distressed and asked the imperial physician, "Is there any way to relieve Concubine Chun's pain?"

"Your Highness, the Queen, Concubine Chun's baby cannot be kept. She must be aborted. Otherwise, if this continues, Concubine Chun's life will be in danger."

The emperor came into the room and just heard the words of the imperial physician. His face was as cold as ice, and he ordered the imperial physician: "Give Concubine Chun the best medicine!"

"sure."

The emperor and empress sat in the outer room, listening to the painful and suppressed crying in the inner room, and felt uncomfortable.

Qin Yu'an was already panicking. Something had happened to Jiang Nanxi, he had failed to protect her, and he had not done the only thing his master had entrusted him to do.

The maids came out with basins of red water, and Qin Yu'an's heart was pounding until he saw Su'er. When she passed by him, she slipped a note into his hand. Qin Yu'an went to a dark place to open it, and it said: There is something fishy about Jiang Nanxi.

The virtuous concubine has not changed her bad habits over the years. This time, I'm afraid it's really the time of her death.

Such a big thing happened, Qin Yu'an cannot be completely absolved of responsibility. He can only hope that with his instigation, Jiang Nanxi can be satisfied with the ending of Concubine Xian.

A few hours later.

Jiang Nanxi fainted completely, mumbling about her child. The emperor sat beside the bed, holding her hand.

Fen Tao cried silently, looking at Jiang Nanxi's pale and chapped lips, and silently mixed salt water and smeared it on them.

.......

Jiang Nanxi just regained consciousness and saw Fen Tao with red and swollen eyes. He smiled weakly and asked, "What's wrong, Fen Tao?"

Pink Peach's nose felt sore, thinking that she was pretending to be strong, and she couldn't bear to tell Jiang Nanxi the truth: "Master, the wind and sand were too strong, luckily you didn't see it last night."

Jiang Nanxi was stunned for a moment, seemed to realize something, lowered her eyelashes, and in an instant, tears streamed down her face.

"Fen Tao, go get the clothes I prepared and I'll sew them."

Yan Gui stood aside like a pillar, and when he heard her words, he pressed her shoulders, rarely showing a smile, but this smile looked stiff no matter how you looked at it: "Master, what do you want to eat? I will ask the kitchen to make it for you?"

"Where is my child?" Jiang Nanxi's eyes were red and she grabbed Yangui's arm.

"Don't be too sad. Be careful not to hurt yourself."

Jiang Nanxi pinched her arms tightly, "Let me ask you, where is my child?"

A bright yellow figure entered the palace. The emperor sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand: "We will have children again, Nanxi."

Jiang Nanxi turned her empty gaze towards him, crying silently, her fingertips trembling slightly, and the crystal light slipped away from her fingertips. He clenched his fists, placed them on his knees, and asked her about the details of yesterday's incident.

Jiang Nanxi pulled her hand away, leaned against the bed, and stopped looking at him. "At that time, Concubine Xian asked me to bow. My position was equal to hers, but she used Prime Minister Wang to pressure me and despised the royal family. Later, she even slapped me and asked the senior palace maid behind her to push me. Shouldn't I have resisted at that time? Your Majesty, would my child be fine if I had received that slap?"

The emperor was silent for a moment, and when he realized that her expression was not fake, he sighed and comforted her: "The virtuous concubine has lost her child too."

"As for what you said, I will definitely find out."

Jiang Nanxi turned her back and stopped talking. In one night, all the questions that needed to be asked had already been answered. All she had to do was wait.

The emperor sat for a while, and seeing that Jiang Nanxi still had no intention of paying attention to him, he ordered the eunuchs around him to send some tonics and rewards to Jinxiu Palace.

Everyone in the room knelt down to express their gratitude, except Jiang Nanxi, who lay on the bed in her white inner garment, without saying a word. The emperor knew that he had truly disappointed her, and he would not ask her to show any courtesy at this time. The most important thing was to recover her health.

The Jiang family is still stationed in the north, but their daughter nearly lost her life in the palace. These things must be explained no matter what. We cannot let them down and we must keep them stable.
