I'm pregnant with the queen's bun

In the sixth year of Yao Yuan, Daying Yihua Palace.

At first night, the majestic palace was hidden in the dark and opaque night, which looked eerie and terrifying. The howling wind made the branches squeak, and it sounded like a ghost crying and mourning at first glance.Footsteps could be heard from afar in the corridor leading to Yihua Palace. The shivering maids in light blue huddled together, holding a lantern in one hand and a basket for incense candles and paper money in the other.

"I heard that Master Shangshu is being punished again today."

"Hey, tell me quickly."

"I heard from the Hall of Supreme Harmony that Master Shangshu asked His Majesty to choose a concubine today, and he also said something wrong with the previous empress. His Majesty was furious and asked people to drag him down."

"Is it possible that Your Majesty wants to set up a harem?"

"Your Majesty only has one son now. Can you be patient? The empress was favored by Your Majesty when she was alive, and the crown prince's biological mother has long since passed away. There is nothing left in the harem. Who can give birth to another prince for Your Majesty? From now on, the Eastern Palace will be the only place in the East Palace." ... ""Sister Wen, you entered the palace early, have you been lucky enough to meet the former empress?"

Sister Wen, who was honored as Sister Wen, slightly raised her chin, and said arrogantly: "Not only have I seen it before, I also served the former queen."

"Is the former empress as virtuous and virtuous as the rumors say, and she is so beautiful?"

Sister Wen was stunned, as if she couldn't find the words, "...the empress is a man, how can she be virtuous and virtuous, and she can be in the eyes of His Majesty, of course she is imposing and handsome, but when it comes to appearance, I heard that Her Majesty is better looking, That person doesn't seem like someone who can be subordinated to others, and even His Majesty dare not provoke him easily." "Since that's the case, why did Your Majesty decree to bestow the late Empress?"

There were no guards and guards in the Yihua Palace, and several court ladies pushed open the tightly closed vermilion solid wood door. The door with dark patterns was extravagant and gorgeous, which shows how deeply the late empress was favored in this world.

But after the death of the first empress, His Majesty ordered the Yihua Palace to be sealed off, except for cleaning and offering sacrifices, all people were forbidden to enter the palace every day. In the past, there were always guards outside the palace.The Yihua Palace was extremely luxurious when it was alive, but now it is just a death hall, empty and no sound can be heard, so the few lanterns under the eaves seem to be oozing death, which is eerie.

Sister Wen looked around the hall bravely, and was about to answer the little lady's words, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow outside the inner hall, that shadow seemed to be floating in the air, and the hem of her clothes was blown by the wind like a ghost.

"Ah!! There is a ghost ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Sister Wen jumped up and was about to rush out, and the maids beside her also screamed, and several people pushed and collided with each other, trying to escape from the evil palace, and the lanterns and incense candles that fell to the ground made a mess .

Before they rushed out of the palace gate, they heard an angry shout from the inner palace: "Presumptuous! Your Majesty is here, who dares to pretend to be a ghost!" Before the man finished speaking, a dozen imperial guards rushed out from all over the place. The menacing force surrounded the palace ladies who were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and shivered.

The imperial army was tall and fierce, and the sharp weapons in their hands were cold and intimidating.The court ladies had never seen such a battle, they were frightened out of their wits, and begged desperately for mercy.

The chief eunuch came to inquire about the situation in person, and then humbly replied, "Your Majesty, it was the Empress Dowager who missed the former Empress and sent people from the palace here to pay homage. She didn't know that Her Majesty was here in person, so she offended Her Majesty rudely."

"The empress mother has a heart, let's all step back—let them worship here and not enter the inner hall." A majestic voice sounded, and it was hoarse and no extra emotion could be heard.

Sister Wen boldly raised her head slightly, and faintly saw the emperor of Daying Jiuwu through the gap between her fingers.As soon as her eyes touched His Majesty's true face, she suddenly felt that all her breath was suddenly taken away, and her heart was beating wildly.

It is rumored that Emperor Daying was vicious, ruthless and ungrateful. He murdered the former emperor and proclaimed himself emperor. Within a year after becoming emperor, he frantically wiped out all the remnants of the former emperor's party, and even forced the former emperor's biological mother to hang herself in Fan Lan Palace. I could hear the cries of innocent souls, which frightened several concubines who stayed there.

But the emperor in front of him was neither blue-faced nor fangs, nor ferocious. If he really had to find words to describe him, shocking as a heavenly man would probably be the most appropriate.His majesty is in his prime, wearing a bright yellow embroidered golden dragon robe, the majesty of the emperor is enough to suppress the five-clawed golden dragon on the dragon robe, it is hard to imagine that this emperor has a thin figure, his indifferent face has an air of dominance, and his facial features are well-defined , the profile of the face reflected by the candlelight is slightly pale, and the arc of the jaw is cold, giving people the feeling that it is difficult to get close and reject thousands of miles away.

At this moment, a forbidden soldier rushed over from the inner hall in a panic. The chief eunuch bowed slightly to His Majesty, approached him with small steps and asked why the forbidden soldier was in a panic.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here."

His Majesty's usual indifferent face finally changed, he frowned in extreme irritability, turned around and hurried to the inner hall.

At the entrance of the inner hall, His Royal Highness and the guards led by the crown prince were in a stalemate with the imperial army. The air was filled with gunpowder smoke, and it seemed that the two sides were about to fight.The commander of the Imperial Army was a seven-foot man with superb martial arts skills, and he was also a celebrity in front of the emperor. No one in the Manchu Dynasty saw that he was rude, but he had nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He stood by with his head bowed and almost cried.

His Majesty the Emperor came from a distance, and the imperial guards knelt down on the ground together with His Highness' guards.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was dressed in apricot-yellow dragon satin uniform, and saluted somewhat annoyedly, "I have seen Father."

Your Majesty—Mu Heng glared at His Highness the Crown Prince, and snorted coldly, "Nonsense!"

"Today is the day of the father's sacrifice, and the sons and ministers should come to pay respects, so why talk about nonsense?" The little prince straightened his back and defended himself confidently.The prince is only nine years old, but he already has the demeanor of a prince. He stands with his hands behind his back with a stern face, and he can still bluff people.

Mu Heng looked sideways at the inner hall, the Kowloon lantern held by the guards reflected his pale and slumped profile.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stared at his father in a daze, remembering how unrestrained his father was when he was alive.

Mu Heng said calmly without getting angry: "It is enough for Xun'er to have a father in his heart. Worship is a vain ritual. You can choose another place in Yihua Palace, but you must not enter the inner hall."

His Highness the Crown Prince poked his neck, "Father lived in the inner hall during his lifetime, and sons and ministers have to enter the hall to pay homage to show their sincerity."

"Does it have to be in the inner hall?"

Mu Xun did not back down, "It must be in the inner hall."

Mu Heng lowered his head and looked at the prince. Being in a high position for a long time made him have the common problem of an emperor - he is the only one who respects me. When the two eyes collided, the prince felt an unstoppable momentum coming over him. Ken took a half step back.

Mu Heng walked up to the prince and bent slightly to look at his son, "In court, I am the emperor and you are the prince; at home, I am the father and emperor and you are the son and minister. The prince is the heir. Should Lun Chang also ignore it?"

They stood very close, and the crown prince grabbed Mu Heng's arm and said in a tone that didn't match his age: "Father, you don't have to hide it from your sons, you want to return to your father's soul, right?"

Mu Heng's face turned cold, and his frown tightened even more.

Mu Xun said again: "Since my father has decreed to give my father the death penalty, why should I return his soul, so that my father will die without peace."

"Presumptuous!" Mu Heng shouted angrily.

Mu Xun pursed his lips, and said in a low voice bravely: "Father has entrusted his sons and ministers to the father to be raised by him since he was a child. Do you know how the father teaches the sons and ministers?"

Mu Heng looked solemn, and without turning his head, he issued an order to the commander of the Forbidden Army, "Chen Jun, escort the prince back to the palace, and you are not allowed to step out of the East Palace without my order!"

Chen Jun took the order and apologized to His Royal Highness, "Your Royal Highness, I have offended you." Several imperial guards obeyed the order and stepped forward, blocking the Prince's retreat with a firm attitude. However, the Prince's status was noble, so they did not dare to go forward to arrest him.

Mu Xun firmly grasped Mu Heng's arm with his fingers, and continued: "Father taught my son how to seize the throne. If the father wants to deprive you of the throne, he will confine you and prevent you from seeing anyone except him."

Mu Heng acted as if he had never heard of it, but his tone was a bit tougher, "Send the prince back to the palace!"

Chen Jun suddenly felt cold sweat on his back, and thought to himself what was the matter, he was not a human being sandwiched between the emperor and the prince, but the emperor's order must not be violated, no matter how fierce and frightening the eyes of His Highness the prince, he could only obey the order and squat down, He easily hugged His Highness the Crown Prince.

Mu Xun's neck turned red suddenly, and he raised his hand abruptly to slap Chen Jun, angrily shouting, "Bold! Presumptuous! How dare you offend His Royal Highness! Put me down, you want to die, you bastard!"

Chen Jun was wronged by this slap, but it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who hit him, so he didn't dare to say a word.Mu Heng was dissatisfied with staring at His Highness the Crown Prince's rough behavior, feeling helpless and having a headache, "Hurry up and take him away, don't let him bother me anymore." The bear boy can really trouble people, whoever he wants!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was obviously unwilling to leave like this. Chen Jun hugged his feet tightly, and his upper body tried hard to get out of Chen Jun's shoulders. He stared at Mu Heng with almost hot eyes, stretched his arms and shouted loudly: .

"If you've been ruthless once, you'll be ruthless a few more times, why are you looking for him!"

"You think I don't know how dangerous it is, let me go! Otherwise, I will kill you all!"

"The son has lost his father, so does the father want the son to be an orphan!"

"—This is what the parents did!"

Mu Heng was shaken all over his body, his cheeks were almost bloodless against the candlelight, a feeling of dizziness hit his mind suddenly, his body swayed from the shock, and was supported by the chief eunuch who was waiting on the side.

The chief eunuch has served the new emperor for six years, and he understands the emperor's temperament very well. He even bowed his waist to speak for His Highness the Crown Prince, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is young and has a straightforward and honest temperament. You must not take it to heart."

Mu Heng waved his hand, turned around and walked into the inner hall, still looking a little distracted, "Do you also think that the queen died because of me?"

"This..." The chief eunuch responded with a silly smile, not daring to easily judge this taboo matter inside and outside the palace.

The imperial guards guarded the gate of the inner hall, and only the chief eunuch followed Mu Heng into the inner hall.The inner hall is completely different from the outer hall. What catches the eye are the red candles placed in various directions. Each red candle is connected with a red rope strung with copper coins. The night was already pitch black, but the light of the burning red candles was even more intense. Against the gloomy look, the chief eunuch couldn't help but gather up his clothes, always feeling that the inner hall was eerie and palpitating.

Are there really ghosts and gods in the world?

The courtyard of the inner hall is full of red candles, and the number of red candles decreases as you get closer to the inner circle, but each one is connected with red strings and copper coins, forming a structure similar to a spider's web.At the very center of the red candle is a dharma altar, and nine soul-calling flags are inserted on the periphery of the altar. The soul-calling flags swing with the wind, making a tearing and piercing sound.There is a crystal coffin in the center of the altar. The walls of the coffin are engraved with complicated and ancient incantations. Inside the coffin lies a young man who has just passed away for two days.

In front of the crystal coffin one meter away, there is also a soul calling tripod. The body of the tripod is extremely old and heavy, and some bronze on the outer wall has fallen off, and it has added traces of thousands of years.

A few old men in Taoist robes sat cross-legged on the futon, holding whisks in their hands and muttering words, and the formation was extremely bluffing.As soon as Mu Heng entered the inner hall, a Taoist priest saluted and invited him: "Your Majesty, the magic circle is about to open, please follow the poor Taoist."

Mu Heng nodded slightly, and followed the Taoist priest through a red candle opening. Every time they passed a red rope, the Taoist priest would seal the red rope completely, so as to ensure that the soul would not leave the inner hall.

Mu Heng climbed up the steps to the altar, only glanced at the crystal coffin before looking away.The leading Taoist said respectfully: "Please sit next to the vessel, and when the magic circle is opened, burn the horoscope of the first queen's birthday into the soul-calling cauldron, and then insert three incense candles. At that time, the incense candles will communicate with the world of Yin and Yang, and you will be able to see the horoscope of Tong Hun." Soul envoy, you must remember to return before the incense burns out, no matter whether the spirit envoy can find the soul of the former queen, you must not be too obsessed, everything has a cause and effect, when it is time to let go, you have to let go."

Mu Heng nodded, and then sat cross-legged beside the crystal coffin with a solemn face, staring at the gray and lifeless corpse of the young man inside the coffin.

In the middle of the night, the soul-calling flag was still without wind, and the red candle, which had been swayed by the strong wind before, began to shake violently. The cobweb-like red rope was pulling the copper coins, as if driven by an invisible force.The Taoist stood up abruptly, holding the complicated spell like a ghost drawing talisman in one hand, and driving the spell with the dust whisk in the other. He was still chanting, and the voice of chanting became faster and more urgent.

"—Boom!" At this time, the spell suddenly ignited, and the dazzling fire did not bring light, but made the yin more intense.

The Taoist seemed to be suddenly drained of strength, swayed and sat down cross-legged again. Only then did Mu Heng see the black bell in his hand, but he couldn't hear the slightest sound when it was shaken.

"Your Majesty, please."

A red rope is tied to Mu Heng's wrist, and the red rope is tied with countless knots. Each knot is also full of spells when viewed from a close distance.Mu Heng approached the Soul Summoning Cauldron and burned the charm with the birth date of the former empress into the cauldron. The spell was burned to ashes before it fell to the bottom, but the ashes disappeared out of thin air when it touched the bottom of the cauldron!

Mu Heng was surprised in his heart, but he didn't delay in his movements. He lit the three incense candles he had prepared and inserted them into the incense ash inside the tripod.As soon as the incense candle was inserted into the incense ash, Mu Heng felt a gust of dark wind blowing in. The end of the red string in his hand, which was submerged in the tripod, seemed to be pulled hard, so that the red string was stretched into a straight line, and the pre-written spells shone brightly in the dark night.

Suddenly he felt that someone was blindfolding his eyes, the hands had no real objects, but made his eyes dark and unable to see.

"Who--?"

No one answered.

"—Is it Argo?"

"Where are you?"

"I'm here to find you!"

Mu Heng desperately called the Queen's name, but there was no one answering him. There was a deathly silence around him, and he couldn't even hear the voice of the Taoist chanting mantras. He couldn't tell where he was, or even if he was still alive.

When Mu Heng was almost desperate, he suddenly heard a scream of shocking scream: "Damn! Many ghosts !!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!"

Then Mu Heng felt being pushed from behind suddenly, before he even had time to resist, his brain quickly fell into a faint and became unconscious.
