From Zhen Huan

Looking at the direction in which the queen was going, she looked disgusted, "When she looked at my stomach, her eyes were like knives, vicious and vicious. If I can keep the secret, I can't wait to hide it until the child is born."

I laughed at her lack of greed, "I'm surprised that you can hide it for so long, but you still don't think it's enough."

Concubine Duan smiled wryly, and said: "I am indeed afraid of the Queen's methods. Over the years, there is no other heir in the palace except the eldest prince and the imperial concubine, which shows that she is clever in her methods."

After hearing Concubine Duan's words, I knew that she still had illusions about Xuan Ling. The lack of children in the harem was largely due to Xuan Ling's connivance with the queen. Take a sharp knife!Specifically remove those heirs who would threaten his throne, such as Concubine Hua's miscarriage, and Concubine Duan's infertility.

I looked at Concubine Duan with a half-smile, and mercilessly exposed the fact she concealed, "With your mental means, how can the Queen threaten you? You just dare not admit it. It was never the one who harmed you. The queen, but him. I will not persuade you, let alone force you. I just want to remind you that if you continue to be so obsessed, this child will not be able to keep it. I say 'mother concubine'."

After finishing speaking, I didn't continue to look at Concubine Duan's painful and struggling expression, and just picked and ate the snacks on the coffee table.

Time passed slowly, and when I was half full, Concubine Duan finally made up her mind, as if telling a sacred oath, she said to me: "As long as you can help me keep the child, I can do whatever you want me to do! "

"Deal!" I slowly cleaned up the crumbs of the dim sum on my hand with a handkerchief, and then I said, with a look of pride that I was in control.

In order to keep Concubine Duan's child, it is not enough to rely solely on the contacts left by the Murong family and Hua Fei, because the person who wants to get rid of this child is Xuan Ling and Zhu Yixiu.This pair of emperors and empresses ruled the entire Great Zhou, whether it was the court or the harem, no one could compete with them head-on.

For this reason, I had to use the reliable people in my memory, who had been verified through so many lifetimes, to give Xuan Ling a strong dose of medicine.

So when Concubine Duan was pregnant for five months, His Majesty Xuanling, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was gorgeously infected with the wind and cold, and burned unconscious.

The queen empress is virtuous, in order to take care of the emperor, she has to take off her clothes, and has to personally inspect all food and clothing. Not only the queen mother, but even the concubines in the harem are touched.

Sickness has always come like a mountain fall, and gone like a spinning thread.

However, day after day, until the eve of Concubine Duan's delivery, Xuan Ling's serious illness showed no sign of getting better, so he could only stay on the sick bed.Occasionally when he was awake, he had to prop up his weak body to deal with the mountain of government memorials, which made his health worse.

At this time, Pixiang Palace was also concentrating on preparing for the birth. After more than three hours of hard work, Concubine Duan finally gave birth to a healthy little prince in the middle of the night.

After the little prince was born, Xuan Ling, who got the good news, was sober for two days, and named the little prince Yuze.Concubine Duan has made great contributions to her sons and heirs, and she was named Duanhe's wife in Jin Dynasty.

Half a year after Yuze was born, Xuanling had a high fever and occasionally coughed up blood. At the request of the queen mother and the imperial physician, she was bedridden and recuperated. The affairs of state affairs were temporarily handled by the queen mother.

At this time, King Runan led the Qi family, Murong family, Zhu family, and most of the courtiers to write a letter.Respect Xuanling as the Supreme Emperor, live in the harem and concentrate on recuperation, abdicate the throne to the little prince Yuze, respect Zhu Chengbi as the Empress Dowager, respect Zhu Yixiu as the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, respect Qi Yuebin as the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, and the Empress Dowager Zhu Chengbi hangs the curtain Listen to the government, Runan Wang Xuanji is regent and supervises the country.

When Xuan Ling heard the news, he was so angry that he vomited blood continuously, and fell into a coma for three days and three nights. Finally, he was sent back by the imperial doctor, but his lower body was paralyzed, and he lost all feeling in his legs.In this way, Xuanling's situation was gone, and the new emperor was carried on the dragon chair by the queen mother Qi Yuebin, and successfully ascended the throne.

"See the Empress Dowager."

I looked at the plump Concubine Duan, she hugged Yuze, but she didn't look very happy. Instead, she looked at me and sighed, and asked, "You planned all of this, right?"

I neither denied nor admitted it, and just reminded: "You have to be careful of the Empress Dowager, compared to Yu Ze who has the blood of the Qi family, she prefers Yu Li who is poor in aptitude but easy to control."

"Our two families fight, but your Murong family stays out of it. You are really calculating."

I don't look at Concubine Duan's look of resentment, even if I use her, I use each other, there is no debt, and naturally there is no guilt.

The Hall of Yiyuan is now the place where Xuan Ling recuperates, because Xuan Ling, who is seriously ill, does not move.

"Is the Empress Dowager inside?" I asked Jianqiu who was standing at the door.

"Go back to the empress dowager, the empress dowager is waiting for the emperor."

"The empress dowager is here, the empress dowager invites you in." Huichun raised the curtain and said to me.

When I walked in, I saw Zhu Yixiu, who was haggard and drowsy, and quickly said: "Please go to the queen mother to rest for a while, if the body is broken, what can be done. The emperor is here, I will take my sister's place first." Watch it for a while."

Zhu Yixiu braced herself and nodded, and I asked Huichun and Jianqiu to help her to the side hall to rest.

Asking Songzhi to guard the door, I felt Xuanling's pulse, then took out the silver needle and started acupuncture on Xuanling's body.Half an hour later, I wiped the sweat from my forehead and watched Xuan Ling wake up slowly.

"Water." Xuan Ling looked at me and made a hoarse voice.

I picked up the warm honey water on the coffee table, brought it to Xuan Ling's mouth, and fed him to drink.

Strangely, seeing Xuan Ling so weak, lying on the bed almost at the mercy of others, I felt instantly happy, and the anger all over my body also slowly dissipated in this lasting pleasure.

I originally wanted to take revenge on Xuan Ling fiercely, and even imagined all kinds of vicious and cruel methods over and over again in my heart, but now I don't want to do anything.Because he has been punished, he has lost his rights, lost his health, and even his freedom, and he will continue to suffer like this until the day of his death.

"What are you laughing at?" Xuan Ling drank the water, and his hoarse voice clearly showed dissatisfaction.

"The concubine is smiling," I showed a beautiful smile, "the emperor seems to be getting better, I just hope that the emperor will get better and better, if I can accompany him, I will see the emperor live a long life It's the best."

53. Back to the beginning

Back in the 12th year of Qianyuan, my mood was extremely peaceful. In my previous life, I saw Xuanling was half paralyzed and bedridden for 30 years. The illness took away his rights and his dignity.

He used to be so angry that he was like a street shrew, weeping and cursing.I also once lost the courage to live, begging for a happy life.Even in order to escape reality, he is completely addicted to pleasure, loses all ideals and ambitions in his heart, and destroys the image of the king of a country.

I watched his transformation step by step, from suffering to committing suicide, and then to giving up completely. I watched the fire of hope in his eyes go out, leaving only a wasteland.

I seemed to see my own shadow.

A single thought touches the past, such as dying yesterday, and the future, such as being born today.

At this moment, I returned to this moment again, and returned to the place where all the stories began. I seemed to be born again, without timidity, and without impetuousness, with calmness and fearlessness.Let go of all burdens, break free from the shackles in my heart, and go into battle lightly, to face the tricks of fate on me.

In the winter of the 12th year of Qianyuan, at this time, the draft talent was worth four months, and newcomers such as Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong had already entered the palace.At this time, Shen Meizhuang had been promoted to Concubine Hui, and it was time to be favored.Zhen Huan was still restraining her edge in Tangli Palace, keeping a low profile.An Lingrong stayed in Minseju silently, facing the bullying of the concubines and palace servants alone.There is also Yu Yinger, who is full of ambitions, waiting for a chance to soar into the sky in Yimei Garden.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Xuan Ling and Zhu Yixiu presided over the palace banquet. I wanted to say that I would not be sick, but I didn't want to miss a good show in Yimei Garden, so I went anyway.

The banquets in the palace are often the same and extremely boring. I held the hand stove in my arms and watched Xuan Ling and Zhu Yixiu take turns saying words of blessing or hope, especially the words of encouragement and concern for the princes. The whole family seemed harmonious. Happy.

Then Xuan Ling and Zhu Yixiu became boys who spread wealth again, whether they were princes or concubines, favored or unfavored, they all received a lot of rewards.It's no wonder that many unfavored concubines look forward to this day the most in a year, not only because they can see Xuan Ling, but also because they can enrich their purses a lot.

Among them, the rewards for me are even more generous, almost comparable to those of several lords, making Concubine Li Gui's eyes shine, she is extremely envious, she is praising and flattering, it makes me feel numb to hear it over and over again.On the contrary, Cao Ronghua and Cao Moqin only cared about Empress Wenyi, and didn't care much about rewards and the like. Although she was respectful to me, she was not flattering. No wonder Concubine Hua relied heavily on her, although she was not very smart. It was really Cao Moqin. There are some advantages.

In addition to these two people, there are many noble people who are always around me to flatter me, hoping to be admitted to the big tree of Concubine Hua, if I can support me, it will be the best.

On the other hand, Shenmeizhuang, An Lingrong and Fang Chunyi were so well-behaved among the concubines that Zhu Yixiu looked over with approval.

Halfway through the banquet, the anger in the venue became more and more enthusiastic. The musicians played festive and joyful tunes, and the singers and dancers presented lively songs and dances.

Xuan Ling had already drank a lot of wine, although he was still interested
