Tangled

Not long after, the emperor returned with the clan's children, horseshoes bursting, dust flying, the youth was bright and flamboyant, returning with a full load.

"See Your Majesty, I have seen you all."

"Free of courtesy and flat body." The emperor waved his hand, took off the helmet, threw it to Zhao Desheng behind him, turned around and entered the big tent.

The concubines, concubines, and female relatives who were about to be killed had already made their preparations. Their respective maids led their horses, prepared footstools, and helped their masters onto the horses.

"No matter what happens for a while, don't worry about it, I will take care of myself." When Su Qingwan got on the horse, she held Mu Luoluo's hand and whispered in her ear.

When Mu Luoluo heard the words, she immediately grabbed Su Qingwan with her backhand.

Su Qingwan looked at the worry in Mu Luoluo's eyes, and under the cover of Princess Yi, she quickly kissed Mu Luoluo's forehead, signaling her not to worry.

"My dear concubine, guess who will win the first prize this year?" The emperor looked at it with great interest, and asked Concubine Zhang De with his head turned.

"The concubine doesn't know, but the concubine only knows that the younger sisters are all prepared." Concubine Zhang De spoke mellowly, the emperor smiled and had nothing to say.

Su Qingwan glanced at Zheng Baolin, who couldn't hide her excitement, then turned her head and smiled at the emperor. The governor of Jingzhou raised a good daughter, but she was too smart.

The atmosphere on the field is getting hotter, and the voices of coquettish shouts come and go.

"Sister Concubine Shu is worthy of being the Empress General, her gestures are really generous." Concubine Zhang De said.

"Concubine Shu's health has improved a lot. I heard that she was naughty at home when she was young." The emperor looked at Su Qingwan who was smiling brightly, and couldn't help following Long Yan's joy.

"With Your Majesty's blessing, Sister Concubine Shu's body will be better day by day." Mu Xiaoxiao laughed and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, almost forgetting Sister Su's entrustment.

"Your mouth is sweet." The emperor turned his head to look at Mu Xiaoxiao, and stretched out his hand to scratch his nose.

The emperor's eyes were still on Mu Xiaoxiao, when he heard screams in the arena, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Concubine Zhang De suddenly stood up, who would have imagined that her movements were too big, and she bumped directly against the edge of the table, "Emperor Physician! Pass on the Imperial Physician!"

The emperor's pupils shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly looked into the arena, only to see that Su Qingwan fell to the ground and had already passed out, Zheng Baolin was still stranded on the maddened horse, and the other women and concubines had already dismounted, surrounded by them at a loss.

"Prince Physician! Quickly pass on to the Physician!" The emperor stood up suddenly, and rushed into the arena in three steps at a time. Looking at the unconscious Su Qingwan in Mu Luoluo's arms, he was furious.

Taking advantage of the confusion, Ruan Meiren quietly picked up the gold beads on the ground, and then moved aside.

"What's going on?" No one could bear the emperor's wrath.

The frenzied horse had been subdued, Zheng Baolin knelt on the ground with a pale face, his eyes were dull, and he couldn't speak a word.

"Empress Defei!" Mu Xiaoxiao exclaimed again and again, attracting everyone's attention to Concubine Zhang Defei, only to see Concubine Zhang Defei sitting on the chair, holding the armrest with one hand and covering her belly with the other. Cold sweat covered his forehead, and his lower body was already turning red.

"Prince physician! Physician!" Mu Xiaoxiao was so familiar with this situation that she lost her posture in fear.

The Tai Hospital was in a mess for a while, wishing it could have some tricks.

Ruan Meiren looked at Concubine Zhang De, feeling confused for a moment.

"Come here, pass on my will, Baolin Zheng, stop your feet immediately, and don't allow anyone to come near until the matter is found out!" The emperor was furious, and threw up his sleeves angrily, ignoring Zheng Baolin who was about to kowtow and cry.

Mu Luoluo's mind went blank. Looking at Su Qingwan who was carried away by the nanny with a pale face, her heart was in a mess. The surroundings were chaotic, but in Mu Luoluo's ears, there was a dead silence.

"Report to Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent, and the concubine's fetus cannot be kept." The imperial physician knelt on the ground, sweating profusely.

"Why can't I keep it!" The emperor slapped the table hard, making Mu Xiaoxiao tremble in fright.

"After Concubine De concubine gave birth to Princess Hehua, she never had a good rest and recuperated, and the root of the disease fell. This fetus was originally unstable, and after being bumped and frightened, forgive me for being incompetent." The imperial physician sighed and replied truthfully.

Zhang Shifu's fate is light, and what Shen Shi said suddenly replayed in Mu Xiaoxiao's mind. Is this a fulfillment?

The emperor recalled what happened when Concubine Zhang De was born with Princess Hua, and was immediately speechless, so he could only wave his hand feebly to signal the imperial physician to step down.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the emperor quietly, not knowing how to persuade her, since she lost two sons within three months, no one could take it calmly.

"I'm tired. Concubine Ai will go and see Concubine Shu for me. When she wakes up, she will report immediately." The emperor said, his voice was hoarse.

"Yes." Mu Xiaoxiao stood up, watched the emperor leave, and then looked at Zhu'er who had just come out of the inner room, "How is sister Zhang?"

"The concubine de concubine has already fallen asleep, the imperial doctor said to take good care of her, and she must not become angry again." Zhu'er said softly.

"Forget it, you don't need us if you want to come here, let's go see Sister Su." Mu Xiaoxiao sighed, and took Zhu'er away.

·

Su Qingwan has been in a coma since she fell off the horse, and she never woke up even when her bones were connected.Mu Xiaoxiao stayed with her until the beginning of Haishi, but she couldn't stand it any longer, so she left first.

Mu Luoluo dismissed her servants and stayed alone in front of Su Qingwan's bed. The incense in the room had lost its effect, replaced by the lingering smell of medicine.

When Su Qingwan woke up, it was already the end of ugly times.The consciousness that had been silent for a long time slowly returned. Su Qingwan felt the interlocking fingers of her right hand. Su Qingwan turned her head cautiously, only to see Mu Luoluo lying on the edge of her bed.

"Are you awake?" Even though Su Qingwan moved lightly, she still woke up Mu Luoluo who was not asleep. "You really scared me to death."

"This time I was negligent and made you worry." Su Qingwan pulled Mu Luoluo's hand to her lips, and kissed lightly, "There will be no next time."

"Let me help you get up and drink some water." Seeing Su Qingwan wake up, Mu Luoluo's heart fell to the ground.

"How's the situation?" Su Qingwan sat up slowly with Mu Luoluo's support, but gasped because of the wound.

"Zheng Baolin grounded his feet and waited, Concubine De..." Mu Luoluo came over with a glass of warm water, handed it to Su Qingwan, and then hesitated to speak.

"Concubine De?" Su Qingwan frowned, "How does it involve Concubine De?"

"After you fell off the horse, Concubine De was frightened and worried, and had a miscarriage." Mu Luoluo sighed, "It's a boy."

"What?!" Su Qingwan was shocked, "How could this be! I never thought of harming Sister Defei!"

"Concubine De treats you sincerely. When she saw you fall off the horse, she couldn't help herself. She got up suddenly and bumped against the edge of the table. Concubine De is not stable in her pregnancy, so it has nothing to do with you." Mu Luoluo sat down to Su Qingwan Beside her, put the empty glass she had finished drinking aside.

"If I had known about this earlier, I would not have acted like this." Su Qingwan leaned into Mu Luoluo's arms and sighed deeply, "Zhang Xinju is honest and gentle. When he first entered the palace, he took good care of me. I have always treated each other with the courtesy of an elder sister, but I never imagined that one day I would harm her to such an extent."

"Fate is impermanent, and the world is unpredictable." Mu Luoluo gently kissed Su Qingwan's hair, and put her arms around Su Qingwan, "I don't care about others, I just want you to be well."

"You are my bottom line, and you are not allowed to touch it." Su Qingwan buried her face in Mu Luoluo's neck, her voice was a little muffled, "Ms. Zheng has a delicate mind. If she can't cut the weeds at one stroke, there will be endless troubles."

"Forget it, let's rest earlier. Your Majesty has decreed that you will leave tomorrow and take you back to the palace." Mu Luoluo's heart softened, and she patted Su Qingwan's back lightly. For three months, I will be free."

"It's better to be free, I'm happy." Su Qingwan raised her head and kissed Mu Luoluo sideways.

·

On the sixth day of April, when the spring hunting is over and the emperor returns to court, the first thing he does is to visit the Shangqing Palace.

"See Your Majesty, excuse me for being inconvenient and unable to fully salute." Su Qingwan greeted her with tired eyes.

"My concubine is dead." The emperor helped Su Qingwan up, "The complexion paled a lot, what happened?"

"Your Majesty has been having nightmares every night in recent days, and she can't sleep peacefully. How can she look good?" Cha Jinqing brought warm tea and continued.

"Jinqing!" Su Qingwan scolded in a low voice, then turned to the emperor, "Please worry about your Majesty, I am fine."

"Last time you said Ruan Meiren's Anshen Xiang is very good, why don't you let her tune it again?" The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested, the emperor glanced at Jin Qing who had stepped aside, "tell me."

"The tranquilizing incense is lit every night, and my mother is still awakened by the night shift." Jin Qing glanced at Su Qingwan, and then knelt down and replied, "The old mother in the palace said that this may be a crime."

The emperor frowned, looked thoughtfully at Jin Qing who was kneeling on the ground, and then ordered Zhao Desheng to "call the Tiantai."

Su Qingwan raised her eyes, looked at Mu Luoluo who was hidden behind the curtain, and nodded slightly.

·

"Concubine Shu has been restless at night recently, and Concubine De Jieyu has lost her son one after another. Let me ask you, is there any change in the celestial phenomena?" The emperor looked down at the envoy Si Tiantai below the steps.

"I look at the sky, and we can see that the general situation is thriving and the country's fortune is prosperous. Only..." Si Tiantai envoy paused.

"Only what?"

"Only the Dongfang Xinyue fox is faintly black, which is an ominous omen." The envoy of Si Tiantai replied, "In the harem, is there a young master's parents who hit Quemu and became high-ranking officials?"

"Hit missing wood?" The emperor looked at Zhao Desheng.

"I don't know this slave, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Zhao Desheng hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Most of the concubines in the harem come from officials and eunuchs. This is the only one, and it is difficult to verify. Is there any other way to judge?" The emperor looked at Si Tiantai envoy again.

"Xinyuehu's position refers to the east, otherwise, I am incompetent." Si Tiantai envoy kowtowed.

"Forget it, Zhao Desheng, call the Secretary of the Shang Palace Bureau and order him to come here quickly with the birth dates of all the concubines and concubines in the harem." The emperor ordered.

Su Qingwan lowered her head, fiddling with the handkerchief in her hand, as if God had helped her.

·

After flipping through it for a while, only Mu Xiaoxiao and Zheng Baolin have no parents, and Zheng Baolin is the only parent whose parents are high-ranking officials.

The emperor frowned, Su Qingwan was injured, and Zhang Mu and Zhang Mu had a miscarriage, all of which seemed to be related to this.

"Zhao Desheng, pass on my decree, Baolin Zheng family, unknown master, poor riding and shooting, injured Concubine Shu, deposed as a commoner, and thrown into the cold palace." The emperor waved his hands, quite upset.

"Your Majesty..." Su Qingwan said.

"I've made up my mind, so there's no need to intercede." The emperor interrupted Su Qingwan's words, "My concubine needs to rest, I'll come to see you some other day."

Su Qingwan knew that the emperor was upset, and wanted to find peace, "I will send you off to Your Majesty."

After the emperor left, Mu Luoluo turned out from behind the curtain, "What the envoy Si Tiantai said is true and which is false?"

"The envoy of Si Tiantai is naturally loyal to His Majesty. Even if I have the ability to reach the sky, it is absolutely impossible to reach out to Si Tiantai." Su Qingwan smiled, "But Shang Gongju, I can use my hands and feet."

"Then this celestial phenomenon?" Mu Luoluo frowned.

"The phenomenon of the sky is in the sky, and it is not the only thing that belongs to the Tiantai. Everyone can see it." Su Qingwan stretched out her hand, and Mu Luoluo naturally caught it. His ability has not been left behind, but his observation of the sky has become more and more sophisticated."

"Your Majesty, you are joking." Jin Qing turned to Mu Luoluo and blessed her body, "I found it interesting when I was young, so I learned a little from my father. This time, I made a mistake."

"That's why I've been waiting. Until now, I've got my wish." Su Qingwan raised her hand, smoothing Mu Luoluo's frown. "Do you want to praise me?"

"Thoughtful and careful." Mu Luoluo smiled lightly, and kissed Su Qingwan's nose lightly.

Su Qingwan looked at Mu Luoluo with a smile, like a child who has a sweet tooth.
