Huo Mu led the army to the west, and there were reports flying all the way, saying that everything was in order. The light cavalry led by Huo Lin traveled day and night, but they had already arrived at Lingwu. The morale of the Yan army was greatly boosted. As strong as a barrel, you can only wait for the arrival of the army and food.Knowing that the danger of Lingwu has been resolved, the emperor felt much relieved. After finishing the court meeting, he felt a little tired, so he went back to the palace to rest for a while. When he woke up, it was almost the hour of the year. Zhao Chengen came out and gave a wink. The eunuchs and court ladies who were waiting outside filed in to help him change and freshen up.

The emperor was still sleepy, with a lazy expression on his face, Zhao Chengen smiled all over his face, and suddenly stepped forward and knelt down: "The emperor is overjoyed."

The emperor's eyes opened a thread: "What do you like?"

Zhao Chengen reported: "Xiao Jiezi from Fang Palace and Li Taiyi from Taiyuan Hospital have been waiting here for half a day, saying that they have something important to report to the emperor. I saw that the emperor was sleeping soundly, so I took the initiative to send them back. Now I will tell the emperor. , Doctor Li checked the pulse of young master Lian, and said that young master Lian is happy."

"What?" The emperor ignored the people behind him combing his hair, turned around, and stared at Zhao Chengen: "What did you say?"

Zhao Chengen hastily repeated it again: "Physician Li from the imperial hospital said that Miss Lian is pregnant with a dragon fetus."

"Concubine Lian is pregnant with my child?" The emperor was surprised and delighted, and suddenly urged: "Hurry up! Hurry up! I'm going to drive to Xiefang Palace and tell the imperial dining room that there is no need to prepare dinner."

Zhao Chengen stood up quickly, and called a little eunuch: "Go to Xiefang Palace and say, the emperor will go there to have dinner with Young Lord Lian, so they can prepare well."

"Yes." The little eunuch agreed, and flew away.

Hearing that the emperor was coming for dinner, the people in Xiefang Palace began to get busy. Su Yunben, who had been with Lian Zhenla all the time, stood up and said goodbye: "Lian Zhen, since the emperor is coming, I'll take a step first. See you again tomorrow."

Lian Zhen took her hand and asked to stay: "Yun'er, didn't you agree to have dinner with me?"

"It's a great honor for the emperor to come to your palace for dinner, so please accompany me well." Su Yun made a grimace, and said with a smile: "I won't be so ignorant that the emperor hates me."

Lian Zhen blushed, she was about to say something, but it was hard to say anything, so she had to go.Not long after, someone reported: "The emperor is here." She hurriedly took Baozhen and waited out the door to greet her.

"Get up." The emperor was full of joy, and pulled her up: "It's windy outside, what are you doing out?" He said and took her into the hall together.

The wine and food in the kitchen had already been prepared, and the little maids brought them up in good time. The emperor looked up and saw the cups of fine wine and delicacies on the table. Most of the dishes were his favorites on weekdays. Excuse me, with a slightly apologetic face: "Lian'er, I've been busy with state affairs recently, but I neglected you, do you have any resentment in my heart?"

Lian Zhen was held by him all the time, feeling very uncomfortable, and said in a low voice: "The emperor is in the world, and he should put the state affairs first, and the concubine has no complaints."

The emperor smiled: "You have always been very sensible. Sometimes I like it very much, and sometimes I don't." He put his arms around her shoulders and touched her still flat belly with one hand: "When you hear the news today, you I don't know how happy I am, remember what I told you that time, the child you give birth must be the most beautiful and intelligent."

Lian Zhen pretended to reach for a pair of ebony chopsticks inlaid with gold and silver in front of her: "The emperor hasn't eaten yet."

"Not busy." The emperor said while stopping her: "Now that you are pregnant with a dragon fetus, I think that Xiefang Palace is not big in the first place, and it is not convenient for you, Yuner and Qingchang to be crowded together. How about I give you another palace to live in?"

Lian Zhen instinctively wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she said: "I lived in Luqi Palace for a while, and it's quite clean there."

"How can I do that?" The emperor frowned: "It's a remote place, and it's an ominous place, how can you live there?"

Lian Zhenxin sneered, but she didn't show any strangeness on her face, but she heard the emperor say again: "What I mean is that I want you to be closer to me."

Lian Zhen was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Although the emperor is very caring, I have lived here since I entered the palace, and I have a special feeling for every flower and tree here, and I really can't bear to move away, let alone, I moved to the palace as soon as I became pregnant, and although others dare not say it in their mouths, they will probably think that I am relying on the emperor's favor and acting frivolously."

The emperor said displeased: "It's my will, who dares to slander?"

In desperation, Lian Zhen pulled his sleeves, and said pitifully: "I also ask the emperor to think more about concubines. Moreover, although the concubines are not very close to the emperor, as long as the emperor has concubines in his heart, Naturally, I will think of the Xiefang Palace, so the concubine will be satisfied."

"Okay." The emperor nodded: "I will accept you, you still live here, but Yuner and Qingchang are moving out."

Lian was really anxious: "Your Majesty, Yun'er and the concubine are sisters, she lives here, and we take care of each other a lot..."

"Okay, then Qingchang will move out alone, it's settled like this, you don't need to say more." The emperor said: "You are pregnant with a dragon fetus, and you need to send more people to take care of it. There are so many people living here." It's really inconvenient."

"Then... Lian really thank the emperor for his kindness."

"Hmm." The emperor rubbed her hand, thinking slightly: "As usual, an imperial physician should be sent to guard Xiefang Palace. I have to think carefully about the choice of this person."

When Lian Zhen heard this, she stood up and gave her a blessing: "Your Majesty, you mentioned this, my concubine has a request."

"You said."

"The concubine hopes that this candidate is the imperial physician Li Mao Li."

The emperor was slightly surprised: "Why?"

"Although Imperial Physician Li is young, he comes from a family with superb medical skills. When my concubine was in Luqi Palace, she suffered from several illnesses, and it was Imperial Physician Li who cured her concubine. This time, the happy pulse was also diagnosed by Imperial Physician Li. The concubine trusts him very much."

"Well, when you were in Luqi Palace, I told the imperial concubine to take care of you." The emperor pondered for a moment, and said: "Li Mao's father, Li Daozhong, is very good at medicine, and both father and son are well appreciated by the imperial concubine. , I promise you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor pointed to the chair next to him, motioned Lian Zhen to sit down, took the golden cup on the table, drank a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Lian'er, you have made great achievements this time, if you want anything, you may as well tell me explain."

Lian Zhen shook her head and said: "Being favored by the emperor, my concubine has everything, so I don't want anything."

"Really?" The emperor smiled and said, "It's rare for me to say such a thing on weekdays, so don't reject me so easily, think about it."

Lian Zhen took a look at him and saw that the corners of his eyes and lips were full of smiles, he was obviously in a good mood, after thinking about it, she suddenly dared to say: "The concubine does have something to ask the emperor."

"Go ahead."

"Prince Ying, Shen Wenying, has always been in love with concubines like sisters..."

The corner of the emperor's mouth sank slightly: "Zong Mou has been deposed as a commoner, and Shen Wenying is naturally no longer a British princess."

Lian Zhen was startled: "Yes, my concubine made a slip of the tongue."

The emperor put down his wine glass and said calmly: "Zong Mou wants to assassinate me, so you want to intercede for him?"

Lian Zhen hurriedly stood up, and said in a low voice: "I don't dare, but I just heard that Ying and the king... Zongmou husband and wife love each other deeply, and my concubine wants to ask the emperor to allow her to enter the prison of the clan mansion to meet Zongmou." .”

The emperor looked at her for a long time, and said slowly: "Zong Mou is a big treason and a heinous crime. If others say this, not only will I not be kind, but I will also punish you. But if you beg you, it's another matter. I'll just see For the sake of my child in your womb, let me be lenient."

Lian Zhen said: "The concubine thanked the emperor for the grace of God on Wen Ying's behalf."

"I don't want you to thank me for others." The emperor pulled her into his arms, squeezed her chin, and said with a light smile, "I will stay with you tonight, and you will thank me properly when the time comes."

He intentionally emphasized the tone of the word "well", Lian Zhen put her hands on his chest and made a nervous look: "Your Majesty, I'm pregnant with Long Er now, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve the Emperor."

The emperor hugged her tightly and blew softly in her ear: "It's okay, it's still early."

Lian Zhen was anxious in her heart, and said in a panic: "But the imperial doctor said that I was very weak due to a serious illness before, and I must pay special attention to everything - Your Majesty, this is the concubine's first child..."

The emperor had no choice but to let her go, and said in a disappointing way: "Okay, then I will go to the imperial concubine later."

Lian Zhen was stunned, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of chopsticks to stew the duck waist in the bowl, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you haven't been to the Queen's Palace for many days. After all, the Queen is the master of the Central Palace, so the Emperor must not be left out in the cold." She, and Concubine Min, she is from a famous family and has a eldest prince, the emperor should visit her more often... There are so many people in the palace, they are looking forward to the emperor's figure every day."

The emperor sighed: "Okay, I see that you speak and act in such a manner that you are very courteous. Forget it, I will go to the empress later, and you can have a good meal with me. Is that okay?"

Lian was really relieved, and said with a smile: "Yes."

"Princess Li, please." Gao Xian stood on the steps and gestured with his hand. When Li Mao stepped into the threshold, Gao Xian closed the door with his hand and stood outside himself.

The sandalwood incense was wafting in the bedroom, there was no one serving in private, it was silent, only the imperial concubine closed her eyes slightly, sitting on the kang, she looked absolutely unwell, Li Mao was worried, and stepped forward Salute: "Greetings to the empress."

"That's all." The imperial concubine opened her eyes, and casually put down a string of prayer beads in her hand: "I heard that you went to ask Concubine Lian for pulse again this morning?"

Li Mao said: "Yes."

"Is Concubine Lian okay?"

"Hui Niangniang, Xiao Lian's main pulse is stable, everything is normal."

"Well, I heard that the emperor and Concubine Lian have rewarded you heavily."

Li Mao didn't know what she meant, so he could only say: "Yes."

"Since the emperor sent you to Xiefang Palace, you don't need to come here from now on."

Li Mao was taken aback for a moment: "Yes."

"But that medicine, you have to find a way to bring some into the palace."

Li Mao raised his head: "Your Majesty."

The imperial concubine's gaze was sharp: "What? Is it difficult?"

Li Mao swallowed hard, and said in a low voice, "No."

"That's good." The imperial concubine looked at her, and suddenly said lightly: "I can trust you like I trust your father, can I?"

"Yes."

"Go."

Li Maoru met Amnesty, stood up, took a few steps back, was about to turn around, but heard the imperial concubine say again: "Take good care of Concubine Lian."

Li Mao was taken aback, and the imperial concubine said, "Do you know what to do?"

"I also ask your mother to teach me."

"Letting you in Xiefang Palace not only asks you to take pulse and prepare medicine every day, but also the food she eats, the clothes she wears, the accessories she wears, and even the incense used in the room, and the flowers and plants placed in the room. You have to pay attention, you have to check it yourself, what has not passed through your hands cannot enter her mouth, and what has not passed through your eyes cannot be placed on her left and right sides, you have to do the four words 'no holes can enter', understand? ?”

She spoke so bluntly, of course Li Mao understood enough, suddenly, she felt a little heavy in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the chills felt on her back, and it took a long time before she managed to calm down , softly said: "Thank you, Madam, for your guidance, Li Mao will definitely keep it in mind."
