Empress Dowager + Spoiler

For the next two days, Zhao Sansi still locked herself in the bedroom, no matter how much the courtier begged, she still kept silent, let alone deal with the affairs of the court.

National affairs are all urgent matters, especially in this season, when the state affairs are ignored for three days, the six ministries will overwhelm many matters, one by one rushing to urge Cai Jun to make up his mind.

Cai Jun knew the truth in his heart, but on the face like everyone else, he also had a sad look on his face, "The emperor will not see anyone, you press the truth, what can the truth do?"

"Then what should we do now? Immediately, foreign officials will come to Beijing to report on their duties, and the various ministries have not yet issued a charter..."

"The emperor hasn't been out of the bedroom for three days, and he doesn't know what's going on right now, why are you talking about this?"

"Then what should we do? The emperor himself doesn't want to come out, and he doesn't allow anyone to go in. He doesn't even listen to the prime minister. Who can persuade him?"

"..."

The courtiers talked a lot, Cai Jun listened to a lot, and finally sighed helplessly, "Right now, I can only ask Mrs. Gu of Changle Palace to persuade the emperor."

"Madam Gu? It was because of her that the emperor fell in love with us. Let her go, isn't it adding fuel to the fire?"

Cai Jun: "Then tell me, what should I do?"

All the ministers: "..."

The helpless ministers had no choice but to agree to Cai Jun's words, and Cai Jun led several other ministers to Changle Palace under the leadership of Li Zhongxian.

When Gu Xizhao received the news, she was not surprised. She put down the teacup in her hand and said to Chaner, "No see."

Chan'er was anxious, "Ma'am, it's the prime minister and other ministers."

Gu Xizhao lowered her eyes and touched her stomach, "I'm sick, so it's inconvenient to see guests."

Chapter 77

Chan'er didn't notice the movement of her hand, she looked a little puzzled, "Today the Prime Minister led the ministers to come to beg in person, why didn't Madam let them go down the steps?"

Gu Xizhao looked at her, and touched her belly again in front of her, "Cicada, from today onwards, I am really sick."

Chan'er was stunned for a moment, and then, because she was too surprised, she stretched out her hand to cover her lips, "Ma'am... Ma'am means..."

Gu Xizhao lowered her eyes, and took the words that Chan'er dared not say for her, "I'm pregnant."

Chan'er was overjoyed, but before the smile could reach her face, her face became tense again when she thought of something, "Ma'am..."

Gu Xizhao comforted: "Don't panic, I have my own plan, and I will tell you, don't say anything, go and send people away first. If someone asks, you can say, I am sick Tired and tense, it has been like this for several days.”

Deceiving the emperor is a serious crime that affects the entire family.

Chan'er was still flustered, and took a peek at Gu Xizhao. Seeing that she looked normal, she took a deep breath and calmed down, "The servants are all under Madam's arrangement."

After that, he turned and walked out.

Gu Xizhao watched her figure disappear outside the hall, then looked down at her stomach again, and raised her hand to touch it skillfully twice.

False pregnancy is a matter of first birth and second acquaintance. In order to let her be under one person and above ten thousand in the harem, Zhao Jin tried all kinds of ways to find an idea to let her have a fake pregnancy.

At that time, the empress dowager—the empress of Emperor Gaozong was still there, thinking that she really had a grandson to hug, and cared for her very tightly. It didn't work, but the fake pregnancy was faked for six months, but it didn't make her die. In the end, it was Zhao Jin who sent the queen mother away to escape the summer heat, which gave her a chance to have a miscarriage.

This time, Lin Wanqing found the same idea of ​​false pregnancy - the courtiers suffered from the late emperor's long absence of an heir, if she was pregnant with a dragon heir in her stomach, and the little emperor was so determined after eating the weight, the courtiers would see For the sake of the heirs, I am afraid that he has half-pushed and half-conceded.

Gu Xizhao has to admit that although the trick of fake pregnancy is not popular, it is indeed tried and tested when it is used properly in the matter of fighting for favor.

However, when she thought of the little fool's cub in her belly, her mood was very subtle, even though it was fake.

Outside the Changle Palace, the ministers who came together immediately darkened their faces after hearing Chan'er's message, secretly slandering that Gu Xizhao was taking Joe, deliberately making a high-profile show to them, and did not dare to speak seriously , only dared to say in a neutral tone: "Ms. Gu is really sick, not too soon or too late."

Chan'er looked at the speaker calmly, and although she could hear the malicious intentions in his words, she still held her breath, "This disease comes as soon as it is mentioned, and Madam can't help it."

The minister who spoke snorted coldly, then looked at Cai Jun again, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Li Zhongxian was a little anxious when he heard it from the sidelines. He also heard that Mrs. Gu was in poor health. He thought it was a deliberate act. Seeing Chan'er saying the same thing in front of these courtiers, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, " Miss Chan'er, my wife hasn't recovered in the past few days, why don't you invite the imperial physician to come and have a look?"

Chan'er lowered her eyes and paused for a while before saying: "Mr. Li is worried. Madam has always felt tired since she came here a few days ago. I didn't think much about it. But in the past two days, my body has become more and more tired and lethargic. There is really nothing I can do about it." Seeing people, this is why I refuse to see you."

"Fatigue, lethargy?" Li Zhongxian murmured, with a hint of joy on his face, suppressed his emotions, and asked carefully: "Then Madam, is there any discomfort?"

Chan'er glanced at him, and said calmly: "There is nothing else."

Li Zhongxian nodded, "Miss Chan'er has to take good care of her."

Cai Jun watched Li Zhongxian's expression from the side, he was surprised for a while, lowered his eyes, and then said: "Since Mrs. Gu is ill, I can't bother you."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your understanding. Prime Minister, go slowly." Chan'er hurriedly bowed her body and saluted, until she reached the corner, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, looked left and right, then closed the door, and trotted to Tong Gu with her skirt Return to life at sunset.

"Ma'am, Mr. Li may have heard something?"

Gu Xizhao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled again, "Isn't it just for people to hear?"

Chan'er was in a hurry, "But if Director Li sends an imperial doctor, what should Madam do?"

Gu Xizhao enjoyed a cup of tea, "Tranquilize yourself. Look at you, it's always like this, I'm not in a hurry, you are always in a hurry when you come back."

"Mrs. Xie." Chan'er turned her body sideways, took a sip of tea, and then said, "This servant is worried about Madam."

"Don't worry about it." Gu Xizhao stretched out her hand to her, Chan'er understood, and immediately came to help her, Gu Xizhao got up, and couldn't help reaching out to touch her stomach, "I have my own idea, just wait Let Director Li hear the clue and send the imperial physician over."

Seeing her calm look, Chan'er had no choice but to swallow her worries.

On the other side, after Li Zhongxian led these ministers away from Changle Palace, some straightforward people couldn't help muttering.

"Madam Gu, what does this mean? The emperor made such a fuss just to establish her as the empress, but she looks like she wants to stay out of it."

"That's right, thanks to the emperor being so kind to her, she doesn't feel sorry for anyone at all."

……

"Madam Gu is a smart person, it's wise to stay out of it right now."

Amidst the sound of crusade, the words of Shen Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, seemed particularly refreshing.

Several people who came together looked at him one after another, "What does Mr. Shen say?"

Shen Yi was very embarrassed by them, and took a peek at Cai Jun before opening his mouth cautiously, "If Mrs. Gu agrees to the emperor's appointment of her as a queen, all the ministers are afraid that they will all write a letter cursing everyone at this moment. Hu Meizi; if Mrs. Gu agrees with everyone and asks the emperor not to make her his empress, it is slapping the emperor in the face and blatantly disappointing the emperor's wishes."

Is that right?

Cai Juan couldn't help but pause when he heard that, that Mrs. Gu knew that the little emperor wouldn't eat or drink and was locked up in the bedroom and wouldn't come out, but she never showed up, was she afraid of disappointing the little emperor's intentions today?

Thinking about it, Cai Jun couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of Changle Palace, before walking forward.

Please do not come to Gu Xizhao, these courtiers gathered together to discuss for a while, sighed, and dispersed again, only Cai Jun was still standing outside the bedroom with his hands behind his back.

Li Zhongxian watched from the sidelines for a long time, hesitated again and again, and took the initiative to come forward and said: "Prime Minister, there is something in our family's heart, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Cai Jun glanced down at him.

Li Zhongxian: "...just now we went to Changle Palace together, and after hearing Miss Chan'er's words, our family is thinking about Mrs. Gu's symptoms, I'm afraid it's... I'm afraid I have it."

"Yes...what's the matter?" Cai Jun didn't react for a moment.

Li Zhongxian leaned close to his ear, lowered his voice and said, "Emperor's heir."

Cai Jun was stunned. He had just told the little emperor a few days ago that Mrs. Gu would be granted the title after she had an heir. Hearing that today, he couldn't help but thump in his heart—it was such a coincidence.
