break the way [comprehension]

It is absolutely impossible for this extraordinary change to happen without a reason. Liu Yelan cleared her mind and asked first: "Now, does Eunuch Deng know the whereabouts of the Supreme Emperor?"

The queen's complexion sank, but Eunuch Deng smiled wryly: "Since your majesty ascended the throne, the Supreme Emperor... You know that he claims to visit famous mountains and rivers, and even the guards are unwilling to bring two more, let alone disturb the place. His whereabouts , I am afraid that only His Majesty can have the news, but I wait...but I don't know."

But the queen asked in a low voice: "My lord, your majesty's body...is it really that bad?"

So bad that Liu Yelan even wanted to invite the Supreme Emperor back to preside over the political situation?

Liu Yelan did not answer directly, but concentrated on thinking carefully. When he left the palace, the emperor was clearly in good condition. If something had really happened at that time, he would never have noticed nothing. On the night of the Longevity Festival, To cause such a shocking change in the body of a majestic emperor of a country, there must be traces in it.

He only said to the queen: "Your Majesty is in charge of the harem. First of all, in order to prevent accidents, I am afraid that you need to invite the Supreme Emperor to return to the court as soon as possible. The affairs of the court will be taken care of by the cabinet adults temporarily. In the palace, the empress is also asked to be clean and stable; Second, after I leave the palace on Longevity Day... Your Majesty has experienced everything in detail, and I ask your empress to check it out, but it is disrespectful. After your Majesty wakes up, I will definitely take care of it."

The queen only wept and said: "If he can wake up, I will definitely do my best to keep the national teacher safe. You don't have to worry too much... as long as, as long as he can wake up."

The queen's heartbreak is by no means a lie. Speaking of the current emperor, everything is good, but there is only one shortcoming. He has no heirs who can inherit the throne.

He was busy with government affairs in his early years, and he was not very close to women. He and the empress had two daughters together, both of whom were born by the empress.After ascending to the throne, although the Supreme Emperor gave some advice, but considering that he was still young, maybe it was just that the fate of his children and grandchildren had not yet arrived, so he did not urge him more. Sometimes, the emperor would have such an accident in his heyday.

Not having an heir means that if something unexpected happened to him, the queen would not be able to rely on him at all. At this time, there is no hypocrisy in heartache or confusion.

Many people in the field were thinking about it for a while. Being in the center of the empire's power, any disturbance may turn into a storm that will sweep the empire tomorrow. Can be completely calm.

In the past, the empress was the concubine personally chosen by the emperor for the emperor. Needless to say, she is virtuous and gentle, and she is also a good hand at managing family affairs. At this time, facing the request made by Liu Yelan, she did not hesitate at all, and the order came like flowing water. Through several female officials around her to convey.

The emperor was seriously ill and unable to govern, so the early court was cancelled, but several important ministers were led down to the bedroom by eunuch Deng. According to Liu Yelan's suggestion, the empress appointed these people to take charge of state affairs temporarily, except that they were ordered to act as state affairs in times of crisis. Afterwards, the empress strictly ordered several people to keep the news firmly within the scope of the inner court.

These important cabinet ministers have always been trusted by the emperor. Moreover, there is an order and balance in the cabinet, and under the restraint of each other, there will be no major disturbances in a short time.

More importantly, it was the movements of the military officers.

At this time when the emperor's state is abnormal, if there is any change in the army, the consequences may be difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Liu Yelan couldn't help but want to tell the queen one more time, but there was a commotion outside the door. You must know that this place is the emperor's palace, the place where government is usually governed, and the guards are extremely strict. At a critical moment, it is not very timely. Under the Queen's order, the guards are even more heavy. Who dares to break in easily?

There was no need for Liu Yelan to ask any more questions, the queen's complexion had already darkened.

Soon, her female officer quickly replied: "Your Majesty, it is Ming Concubine Empress..."

The queen's complexion became even uglier: "My lords, I'm really rude, I'm going to clean up this concubine."

She had promised Liu Yelan to stabilize the order of the court before, but the words fell silent, and this Concubine Ming barged in, wouldn't it be a public slap in the face of the mother of her country?At this time of the emperor's crisis, she needs to stand up more. How can she tolerate such provocative actions? Taking a step back, it is normal times, in ordinary people, there are a few mistresses who can tolerate concubines jumping up and down ?

Before the empress could get out of the palace gate, the bright beauty in a peach red and gold gown rushed in: "Your Majesty! Where is Your Majesty? He is obviously unwell, how dare you hide such news!"

With that tone, was he accusing everyone in the bedroom of having mischievous intentions?

The queen scolded coldly: "Concubine Ming! Who allowed you to trespass in the palace! Could it be that you think your palace rules are too good and you want to review them?"

This faint threat caused the bright and charming beauty to bow her head timidly and bowed to the queen: "I have seen the empress, and I dare not violate the palace rules. I really care about your majesty, so I am rude, and I ask you to forgive me." .”

Queen: "Your Majesty has me here. Since you know your mistake, why don't you hurry back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors!"

Concubine Ming raised her head in surprise, her beautiful eyes swept across Liu Yelan and the other ministers present, and she said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not feeling well, but you are giving orders. This... among the family and the country, His Majesty is the greatest."

The implication of this is to accuse the empress of taking advantage of the opportunity of the emperor's serious illness to seize power. It is a taboo for the harem to interfere in politics. The empress was so angry that she fell on her back. She stared at the concubine Ming and was speechless for a while. , although this concubine Ming is usually loved twice by the emperor, but he is not a womanizer, and he has always trusted his wife. These two parts of love for the queen are just too lazy to care about her as a cat or a dog. Never thought that the emperor's case But it made such a little thing look majestic!Dare to say what should not be said, dare to pour out!

How could the queen bear it any longer, and called the guards directly: "Drag her down for me!"

The emperor's safety is unknown, eunuch Deng and Liu Guoshi are standing behind the empress, all the guards in the palace are looking forward to the empress's lead, and immediately someone is going to take the concubine Ming, but she raised her eyebrows and scolded: "I don't think any of you dare? !"

The queen was simply baffled by this brainless concubine Ming, how much courage did she have, to dare to provoke herself so blatantly!

"You are so daring, how dare you disobey my orders!"

I saw Concubine Ming put her hands on her slightly protruding belly, smiled slightly, and looked at the queen provocatively: "Your Majesty, the status of a concubine is lowly, and I dare not disobey your order, but the dragon in my belly is Your Majesty. Heir, if there is an emergency... Now that His Majesty's situation is unknown, what should I do?"

Not only the queen, but all the ministers in the field were taken aback.

Now the emperor's situation is unpredictable, there is no heir under his knees, the whereabouts of the Supreme Emperor has not been found, but the concubine in front of him is pregnant, it has to be said that the timing is too delicate.

Liu Yelan didn't know what to think of, and looked at Imperial Physician Feng beside him.

The queen's unfathomable gaze also turned to Imperial Physician Feng, his forehead was faintly sweating, the concubine was pregnant, how could the imperial hospital not know about the routine of asking for the peace pulse for nobles in the palace?If you don't know, you are dereliction of duty; if you know but fail to report, you are dereliction of duty...

No matter what it is, it is difficult to escape the strict rules of the palace.

But the queen could afford to let it go after all, she just said indifferently: "Oh? Since you are pregnant, concubine Ming, you should take the fetus in your womb as the most important thing, why are you so reckless and forced to break into the palace? Wouldn't it be difficult for Your Majesty to be with me? If that's the case, Imperial Physician Feng, why don't you go and see what's going on in her belly?"

All the ministers behind the empress looked at each other, thinking that the mother of the country was finally chosen by the emperor himself, and it was not for nothing, so they clarified the status of wives and concubines in a few words: What is your concubine Ming proud of?If there are any heirs, they will call me "mother" when they are born in the future. They are the emperor and my child, and you are just a concubine.From the standpoint of such an official wife, it is not fair to reprimand Ming Concubine for taking risks with the fetus in her womb.

What's more subtle is that the Ming concubine kept calling her "Long'er", but the queen only called her "fetus". Even if she could give birth, she didn't know if it was a boy or a girl, but just one name made several ministers in the field flutter. In an instant, his mind turned to the queen who was standing upright again.

Concubine Ming seemed to be aware of the queen's few words and few words, but she only smiled slightly, sat on the seat brought by the female official, and stretched out her hand to Imperial Physician Feng, without saying much.

Doctor Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead after taking the pulse under everyone's staring eyes, and looked at the queen hesitantly.

But she just said: "What? How is the fetus in the womb?"

Seeing that the Queen had no intention of concealing the news, Imperial Physician Feng said: "Both the fetus and the mother's pulse are stable and there is no abnormality..." Then he looked up at the Queen, and finally said: "...Ms. Half pregnant."

The astonishment in the eyes of the ministers could not be concealed, five and a half months, it seems that this Concubine Ming is not taking it easy, she has concealed her pregnancy for so long in this palace, it shows her scheming and means!Furthermore, in the current situation of the emperor, Ming Concubine's child will be able to come to this world one day earlier, which can change some things.

Those floating thoughts that had been suppressed by the queen could not help but become noisy again.

But the queen's face was cold, but she only told the palace people around: "If you don't urinate every month, you have to take care of it. Come and send your empress back..." She ordered a few maids in her hand to take care of Concubine Ming personally. , Surrounded by big women, I am afraid that I will be terrified, and start to worry about the safety of myself and my children, but the Ming concubine didn't realize it, and saluted the queen with a smile: "Thank you for taking care of me, I will take good care of you according to your order." Dragon."

At this time, even the thoughtful ministers couldn't help frowning when they saw the triumphant beauty in front of them. Isn't it too brainless to provoke the queen like this before the child is born?Whether the child can be born is one thing, and it is another thing to have a boy or a girl. Whether the boy can grow up, whether His Majesty will really remain in a coma, whether the child has a chance...that is another matter.

No matter how you look at it, it is not wise to provoke the empress at this time. Is this concubine Ming a bit too complacent?Is it still worth working with?

It has to be said that the contrast between this bright and proud beauty standing opposite the calm and restrained queen is too stark.

But in Liu Yelan's eyes, the situation in front of her was quite different. A woman who could hide her pregnancy for five and a half months suddenly jumped out at this moment to show her teeth and claws... How could this kind of confidence come out of thin air?

Liu Yelan stared at the other party's delicate and unparalleled face, and unexpectedly smelled a deep bloody smell from the end of his nose for no reason.
