In fact, Xiao Zhang didn't hurt at all.When the system asked her to choose whether to get pregnant, she thought of today's event.In order to eradicate dissidents, she chose a fake pregnancy and changed the date of pregnancy.

It's not that she didn't think that the emperor would be sad, sad, but she didn't expect that Yong Zhan would be so sad.

Is this still the sensitive and suspicious, cold and cruel monarch when she first met?

Maybe... being moody is just his appearance.Yong Zhan just wrapped up his weak heart with an indifferent appearance.He is the emperor, how can he have the slightest weakness.

The pitiful look rarely shown by a strong person is the most distressing.Xiao Zhang looked at him silently for a while, then said softly: "Your Majesty, I'm tired."

Only then did Yong Zhan raise his head, and hurriedly said: "Then I will go out first, you should rest well, and the imperial physician will come back later to take your pulse."

Xiao Zhang closed his eyes and didn't respond again.

Perhaps, her heart is really as cold as a stone.Perhaps, I have experienced too many betrayals and injuries, so it is too difficult to be tempted, and I love like ordinary people.

After the emperor left, she opened her eyes and looked at the plain bed curtain.Concubine Jin has always loved cleanliness, and she likes white the most. She is not afraid of being tabooed by others, and still does her own way.

Concubine Jin was betrayed by her own sister, it was pitiful, but Xiao Zhang sympathized with her only on the basis that Concubine Jin would not threaten her.Now... Xiao Zhang's mouth twitched into a sneer.

She confirmed that Concubine Jin would act today, of course not only because of Concubine Jin's one-sided remarks, but because Concubine De had approached her in private some time ago.

Concubine De came at night and told her all the news she got by chance, trying to use Xiao Zhang's hand to suppress Concubine Jin.

Xiao Zhang is the protagonist of this matter and cannot escape being involved.But she also didn't want Concubine De to just take advantage of it.So, she made an agreement with Concubine De.

In a few days...it will be the date of Concubine Jin's death.

##

Since there is no clear evidence that Concubine Jin drugged Xiao Zhang, Concubine Jin refused to admit it to death, insisting that someone else framed her and intended to provoke the relationship between her and Concubine Xian, so it was difficult for the clan's family to convict her for a while.

But the eldest prince Cheng Jin and his mother and concubine could not escape this disaster.When the emperor came out of the house that day, he happened to meet Concubine Wu Gui who came in a hurry, and immediately reprimanded her for being immoral.

When the incident happened suddenly, Concubine Wu instinctively denied it, claiming that it was Concubine Xian who framed the eldest prince.

When Yong Zhan heard that what the mother and son said was exactly the same, he even believed that the eldest prince was taught this virtue by Concubine Wu Gui.Immediately decreed to demote her to Wu concubine.

As for the eldest prince...

Xiao Zhang, who had already moved back to Yifu Palace, lay on the bed and urged, "Why don't you say anything?"

Hugging the qin as an excuse: "The Empress Dowager..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was suddenly interrupted by a communication at the door.Then, I saw the emperor strode in.

After walking a few steps, Yong Zhan was taken aback, as if thinking of something, he took off his coat, warmed his hands by the stove for a while, and then approached her bedside.

He smiled faintly: "I'm afraid that the cold will give you."

Xiao Zhang pursed his lips: "Little confinement is also a confinement, isn't the emperor afraid of bad luck? Last time, the concubine just had a miscarriage, and the emperor came in to visit the concubine. I heard that the empress dowager was very dissatisfied..."

Yong Zhan was slightly stunned, shook his head and said, "It's okay. If I don't look at you, I don't feel relieved."

That day, she was surrounded by the brocade quilt with a pale face, and she was so thin that she seemed to be blown away by the wind.Abortion hurts the body, he is really worried.

He held her hand, and Xiao Zhang immediately felt a warmth.She didn't have the strength to break free, so she simply let him go.The emperor smiled like a child and told her about the outside world.

It will be Chinese New Year in two days.

A sudden change happened a year ago, and the Queen Mother was extremely displeased.First, she reprimanded the concubine Xian for being seductive and seduced the lord for letting the emperor into the unclean room, and then she tried to protect the eldest prince, and excused the eldest prince's crimes.

The emperor is annoying, but he governs the country with filial piety, and it is not easy to argue with his mother.Every time he came out of the Palace of Compassion and Harmony, he always had a gloomy face, and only when he went to the Palace of Yifu did he turn pale.

Yong Zhan said with a smile: "During the Chinese New Year, you should take good care of it in the house, and you don't have to go to the New Year's banquet. Later, I will ask someone to set up a few tables in Yifu Palace, so that your servants will be happy, and you will also be happy." Not too lonely."

Xiao Zhang just nodded slightly and didn't say much.To her, New Year's Eve actually doesn't have any special meaning.She suddenly missed her mother a little bit, her mother who was far away on Star Stan.

Only when she completes her mission here safely can she return to her home planet to cure her mother's illness... Therefore, she must be ruthless and not have too much affection for the people here or even for every plant and tree.

They were all objects of her use.Xiao Zhang reminded himself.

Seeing her depressed, the emperor thought she was unwell and not talkative, so he went to deal with government affairs after sitting for a while.

After a while, Qing Shui came in to communicate, and said that it was Concubine Wu... No, Concubine Wu is here.

Wu Pin was only demoted, not grounded.It's just that ordinary people will definitely stay in the palace and not come out after suffering such a great humiliation.This Concubine Wu is really different from ordinary people, she is still active in the Sixth Palace, trying to make a comeback with her past influence.

Qing Zhi said anxiously: "Whatever she does, kick her out!"

"Wait." Xiao Zhang said quietly, "Let her in."

Baoqin glanced at Qing Zhi, and reprimanded: "You are really spoiled by the master, is this the place where you make your own opinions?"

Qing Zhi said bitterly: "Their mother and son have harmed Master Xian like this, how can she still have the face..."

"Greetings to Concubine Xian." Wu Bin who came in interrupted Qing Zhi, and saluted calmly.

Xiao Zhang raised his eyes and saw that Concubine Wu had aged ten years in one night, and her long black hair, which had been well-maintained, had turned half white.

"No." Xiao Zhang was vigilant and didn't say much.

But Wu Concubine couldn't get up, knelt down in front of her window, kowtowed and said: "May I ask your majesty to raise your hand high and spare Jin'er's life."

Baoqin put another cushion behind Xiao Zhang, helping her to sit up higher.

Xiao Zhang sat up and ordered: "Go down except holding the piano."

Qing Zhi was dragged away by Qing Yan.

Xiao Zhang looked down condescendingly on Concubine Wu Gui, who used to be aloof, and now Concubine Wu.

Her natal family should be quite popular with the emperor... Could it be that something happened in the previous dynasty and the emperor would deal with Concubine Wu?

Xiao Zhang said: "Sister, get up and talk."

Concubine Wu cried: "Jin'er is young and ignorant, he will be disrespectful to the empress when he loses his head for a while, I beg the empress to look at the past love and give us a way to survive..."

"Sister, don't need to say too much." Xiao Zhang promised: "In front of the emperor, I will try my best to speak well for my sister and mother. If my sister doesn't believe me, I can leave Xiuzhu here to listen."

Wu Bin raised her head in surprise, and various emotions such as surprise, joy, regret, and guilt flashed across her face, which were intertwined and looked particularly weird.

Xiao Zhang's smile also reveals something weird: "I'm tired."

Wu Pin hurriedly said: "The concubine will leave."

When the emperor came the next day, Xiao Zhang really told him good things about the eldest prince and Concubine Wu, and took all the blame on himself.

She said: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't stay in the house alone."

The emperor obviously had investigated the matter very clearly, he shook his head and said, "It was Concubine Jin who dismissed your maid."

She also said: "The eldest prince is young, and he will admit his concubine as wrong for a while after drinking too much..."

The emperor sneered, "He didn't drink alcohol that day."

Xiao Zhang said: "Then... for Wu Gui... Wu Concubine has served the emperor for many years..."

"It's kind of me not to kill him. If the queen mother didn't stop me, I would have dealt with this traitor long ago!" Yong Zhan hugged her, feeling heartbroken as if he had been crushed by someone, and his heart ached to the extreme.Her body is so soft, just like her mind, she is kind and tolerant, even being bullied like that, she helped them speak well.

The emperor was so distressed and confused that he had such a confused idea.

But what Xiao Zhang wants is this effect.

Yong Zhan whispered guiltily in her ear: "If you hadn't just been promoted to be a virtuous concubine... I really want to make you a noble concubine right away, even an imperial concubine..."

Leaning in his arms, she said in a soft voice: "Thank you for the great love of the emperor, the Jia family has already received the favor from the emperor, and the concubines dare not beg for grace anymore..."

She deliberately said "Jia's family" instead of her. On the surface, she was rejecting the kindness of the emperor's promotion, but in fact she was reminding the emperor that it doesn't matter if she can't be canonized, and her family can be gracious.

The emperor understood and talked about promoting her father Jia Zheng.Xiao Zhang smiled lightly, noncommittal, but talked about the benefits of her elder brother Jia Zhu.

At this time, Yong Zhan wished to give her the best in the world, so he agreed one by one.

##

On New Year's Day, Xiao Zhang did not attend the banquet as expected.Her body recovered quickly and she was ready to go to the ground.Qing Yan refused to follow her, and forced her to sit on the bed with a quilt, while the palace officials gave her New Year's greetings one by one.

After the servants had finished their salutes, Qingyan presented a table of exquisite meals and served Xiao Zhang's meals herself.

The small kitchen boiled wild mushroom and wild pigeon soup, which was delicious to die for.Xiao Zhang drank a thin sweat and wanted to tear off the quilt, but a slender hand stopped her.

Xiao Zhang looked up, and couldn't help but chuckle: "It turns out that Sister Rong is here."

Shui Rong's fair face turned slightly red, and she withdrew her hand and said, "I drank too much wine, and I came out to enjoy the air. I passed by Yifu Palace, and I just wanted to come and see you. In a hurry, I just borrowed the maid's clothes..."

Xiao Zhang just smiled and said nothing.This time it is not Baoqin who is serving her, but Qingyan.Fortunately, Qingyan is cautious and calm when encountering situations, so she is not surprised to see Shui Rong.

Shui Rong said: "Are you feeling better?"

Xiao Zhang nodded: "Well, it's much better. Go back and tell me something to the Supreme Emperor, saying that Yuan Chun will go to pay his respects to the old man when he recovers in a few days. Everything is fine, don't make him worry."

Shui Rong smiled wryly and said: "You don't know. Originally, you had an accident, and we all wanted to hide it from him, so as not to make him unhappy. Who would have thought that the mother and the queen would make a fuss, and the father found out, and scolded me. Don't want to see me."

Xiao Zhang smiled: "It's Chinese New Year today, go kowtow to the old man, say a few auspicious words, and I'm sure I'll hold you in my arms and kiss you again."

She took a look at Qingyan and said with a smile: "No, no, if the queen mother sees it, she would think that the emperor is joking with some little beauty in his arms, so she must overturn the jar of jealousy!"

"You!" Shui Rong blushed, shook his sleeves and said, "Looking at your eloquence, I think there is nothing serious about it. If that's the case, Xiao Wang will leave."

He retreated to the door, and remembered something again, he came back to his senses and bowed: "I wish my little sister-in-law all the best in the new year..."

Ji Li said a lot of words before being chased away by Xiao Zhang.

As soon as Shui Rong left, Qingyan immediately expressed her loyalty, saying that she would not say anything about it.Xiao Zhang said with a smile: "Good girl, if I doubted you, I wouldn't ask you to take care of my meals."

Qingyan said in a little surprise: "But at that time, the slaves told the master about the old things in the palace, even so, the master still didn't reuse the slaves..."

Xiao Zhang said softly: "If I don't neglect you, how can I see who is the nail buried in me..."

Qingyan was startled.

Xiao Zhang smiled secretively: "Give me another piece of cucumber pickled by Chef Liang, it tastes really good."

In fact, when the accident happened that day, Baoqin would have been escorted away by Concubine Jin's maid.But the queen's people took the first step and called Baoqin away.

Baoqin arrives at the queen's place, but sees Qing Zhishen sneaking into the queen's bedroom without anyone noticing.

Thinking of Qingzhi's daily words, it is not difficult to infer that Qingzhi is the person that the queen placed next to the concubine Xian.

And Qingyan...Although they had doubted her, but Qingyan's family background is fair and her actions are safe. Now it seems that she is more usable than the usually lively Qingzhi.

##

Xiao Zhang didn't plan to wait until midnight, he washed up after eating, and planned to sleep.

She drove all the maids out, set off firecrackers, ate dumplings, and played with them without interfering.

She was lying on the bed, but not asleep.It was too noisy outside and the moonlight was too bright. Although the brocade quilt was thick, the quilt was already cold.She didn't want to disturb the children's playfulness, and then asked someone to bring the stove.

Xiao Zhang closed his eyes and recited the mantra to his unborn child.

Perhaps, this child never existed, nor should it exist.But in the end it was her choice that prevented him from being born.

As I read it, tears suddenly fell from the corners of my eyes.She was surprised.She is obviously not sad, why is she crying?

At this time, a gentle hand passed through the darkness and landed on her side face.

The man's hand was warm, without a trace of the severe cold that had been eroded by the wind and snow.

Yong Zhan said in a low voice: "I've always wondered why you didn't cry. How could you not be sad when something like this happened. So it was when I wasn't around..."

He was close to her, breathing so close, she could even smell the aroma of wine that he inadvertently revealed.

She slapped him: "Go away."

Yong Zhan knelt down on the footsteps, leaned his head against her ear, and smiled softly: "It's Chinese New Year. I'm afraid you'll be lonely, so come and see you."

"I want to sleep." She didn't like the feeling of someone knocking on the door of her heart. "The palace banquet is not over yet? Why did the emperor slip out?"

"Don't try to drive me away." Yong Zhan took off his clothes, climbed into bed and got under the quilt, his body was astonishingly hot. "It took me a long time to learn how to pretend to be unconscious when drunk, but also to be unconscious gracefully. After the performance is finally over, you are not allowed to chase people away."

Xiao Zhang really couldn't laugh or cry, did the emperor practice for a long time to learn how to pretend to be drunk?

She patted him on the back, and said with a smile: "I'm all 'conscious', and I haven't returned to my palace yet. I have to get up early tomorrow morning to worship the heavens? Where can people find you?"

"Lie down for a while, I'll go again..." He might be really a little drunk, and he forgot to call himself "Zhen". "Yuan Yuan……"

"Ok?"

"How did you spend New Years before?"

Xiao Zhang's answer was simple: "Together with my family."

"With family... together..." he repeated. "I think so too."

She was a little impatient: "Isn't the emperor just with his family?"

Yong Zhan shook his head slowly: "I have never left home, but I feel that home is far away from me..."
