[Red House] Lixian

Qingning Palace was strictly guarded by everyone. Empress Dowager Chen personally sat in the delivery room, and Situ Yun paced back and forth in the outer room.

"A man! A man! It must be a man!" Situ Yun was anxious in his heart, as long as he gave birth to a boy, he would have a successor and he would not have to worry about other things.The Supreme Emperor will not easily depose him.

Wei Qian didn't want to come over at first, but because she was with Queen Mother Chen, Queen Mother Chen pulled her over to take care of her.So Wei Qian hugged the white cloud sable, stroked the sable's hair, and said softly to Situ Yun: "The empress dowager takes care of the empress dowager, what is your majesty worried about? Why don't you sit down and have a good cup of tea."

Wei Qian's energy-raising skills are top-notch, and she still has the mind to talk to the eunuch sent by the Taiji Pavilion next to her: "I saw that the Supreme Emperor was unwell in the morning, how are you feeling now?"

"According to Concubine Ning, the emperor took the medicine in the afternoon, slept for two hours, and sweated." The eunuch talked cautiously, seeing Situ Yun burning with anxiety, he subconsciously shrank back.

Situ Yun was full of evil spirits, who would dare to approach him?

"That's all, you go back and answer the Supreme Emperor first, and say that the empress is not yet born. The old man is not in good health, so he should rest first. When the matter is settled, I will go to congratulate him in person."

Wei Qian took her time, she didn't interfere in the affairs of the harem for more than half a year, and always maintained a detached position.Situ Yun rests in her palace for two days every month, and the two maintain a respectful attitude towards each other.Neither favored nor alienated.

But because Empress Dowager Chen was with Wei Qian all day long, Wei Qian was not bullied in the harem, and had a good life.

"Yes." The eunuch glanced at Situ Yun, saw that Situ Yun didn't speak, and trotted away.

"Hmph! Don't be in a hurry!"

"What's the rush? No matter how anxious you and I are, it's useless, isn't it? Your Majesty wandered around for a long time, aren't you thirsty?" Wei Qian poured tea for Situ Yun, Situ Yun dried his mouth, sat down and drank it in one gulp.

Knock on the table and stomp your feet, in short, you can't stop for a moment.

"Your Majesty's appearance scares many people in the palace." Wei Qian laughed angrily, "Wait a little longer, this time there are eight stable women and all the imperial physicians waiting, what will happen?"

There are eight stable women in the delivery room, plus the Empress Dowager Chen and the personal maids.Supervising with my own eyes, nothing will happen to the queen at all.The sources of those stable women were clearly checked and explained in advance.If something happens to the queen, the three clans will be punished.

Furthermore, there are a group of imperial physicians in the side hall boiling medicine, and nothing will happen.

There are still soldiers guarding the palace outside the palace. How many hearts are touched by the birth of the queen this time?

After giving birth to a son and establishing it as the East Palace, the imperial line will be passed on.Even if something happened to Situ Yun, those brothers' inheritance rights were not as close as this son's.

Didn't the former Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty inherit the throne from his grandfather?

At that time, the Supreme Emperor will come out and continue to control the government, which can be said to be the hope of all the kings for a lifetime.If you want to create a character like Ming Chengzu, just rely on these princes?

According to Wei Qian's view, the only way out for these princes is to do it together with the Supreme Emperor tonight, and then support the newly born crown prince to ascend the throne, and finally have a regent to assist.

In a few years, the prince dies, and the regent can justifiably ascend the throne.

But only if it's a boy.

"Do you want to fight at this time?" The third prince was pondering at home, hesitating endlessly.If it's a daughter, wouldn't it be unnecessary?

"If it's a boy, although there is a threat, it shouldn't be the step of mutiny? The future will be long, and it may be more convenient if you want a child to die early?"

Mutiny, no matter what, the future of disobedience and infamy is a foregone conclusion.The third prince cherishes the feathers and refuses to imitate Tang Taizong in this palace change.

"The palace must have been prepared for this. The Danfeng Gate is close to the inner city and guarded by strict soldiers. The east gate and the west gate are geographically favorable and the only way is the northern Xuanwu Gate. Bypass Penglai Lake and go straight to Taiji Pavilion and Qingning Palace. Should be able to catch everything?"

Xuanwu Gate?Thinking of this name, the third prince smiled wryly, and the lesson from the past was right in front of him.So far, that Heavenly Khan has not been able to wash away this injustice.

"It's hard!" Just because it's difficult to make a decision, and it may not be successful, such a risky matter cannot be decided immediately.

The fourth prince was knocking on the wooden fish to meditate at home. During this period of self-cultivation and self-cultivation, he seemed to see through the world of mortals.Although the idea of ​​plotting the dragon chair is still there, he knows the word forbearance better.

"If you strike first, you will lose. Why don't you wait for my brothers to strike, and then come back and fight to set things right, so that you can ascend the throne in a legitimate way."

The third prince and the fourth prince were thinking about it, but the fifth prince was a little helpless.

"My king's troops are all in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is really no one here. The admiral of the nine gates belongs to the emperor, and he issued a closed order in the morning. The camp on the outskirts of the city and the imperial army belong to Situ Yun. With my strength, I can only win over 2000 people." People are not enough to rush through the palace gate." A clever woman can hardly cook without rice, although the Fifth Prince knew that today was a golden opportunity, but he could only watch helplessly as the opportunity was missed.

The three princes who hold real power are like this, let alone the nine princes below, and a mere county prince is nothing.

"If, if there is this prince who coerces the emperor to command the princes, can I have a curtain?" Wei Qian was playing with the teacup, and his mind was lost.

"No, not to mention a little Chongyi, it is difficult for a biological mother to play with the court. If those princes really launch a palace coup, how can I have the confidence to support the prince when both sides suffer? I have no military power, and no People from the imperial court help. Even the queen can't do it."

"Concubine Ning? Concubine Ning?" Situ Yun yelled several times before Wei Qian woke up: "What? Your Majesty was talking just now?"

"You still said that I'm impatient, aren't you also distracted?" Situ Yun said angrily, "Just now the imperial doctor said that music can calm the mind, and maybe it can appease the queen and let her give birth smoothly."

"So? Your Majesty let the concubine play the piano?" Don't let the empress fall asleep and have a difficult delivery.

"Just treat it as you and I to pass the time." Situ Yun ordered someone to fetch a piano from the Treasure Hall.

This qin is made of phoenix trees, with seven strings on it, and there is a burnt mark on the end of the qin.

Wei Qian looked happy when she saw the piano, tried the rhythm, and began to play the piano.

The melodious sound of the piano sounded from the outer hall, and the Empress Dowager Chen's ears moved inside, and said strangely: "This is the sound of Concubine Ning's piano? Why did you suddenly start playing the piano?"

Wei Qian has a lot of experience in the way of qin music, otherwise her talisman would not be a nine-stringed qin.

The sound of the zither flows through people's hearts like spring water, Situ Yun's face softened, and he closed his eyes to listen to the zither.

Soothed by the lyre, the struggling and dystocia queen relaxed, and continued to exert her lower body under the comfort of the steady women.

"It's coming out! The head is coming out!" The women were overjoyed and encouraged the queen to continue working hard.

Baiyun Mink wagged its tail on the table, moving with the beat.Suddenly, when a court lady came in with a water basin, Baiyun Diao moved slightly.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and a warning signal rose in Wei Qian's heart: "Wait!" Wei Qian stopped the maid who was about to deliver hot water.Baiyun Diao squeaked a few times, and Wei Qian squinted his eyes: "Hongchun, go check this basin of water."

Then he called the maid to his side: "Did you boil this water?"

"No...it's not..." The maid saw Wei Qian's expression panicked, "It was brought by the servant from the water room. It was burned by the people in the empress's palace." This maid is a person close to the Empress Dowager Chen, named after the Empress Dowager Go get the water basin.

"Who do you meet on the road, who has touched this basin of water?"

When the palace maid heard this, she was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground. "Slave... Slave... I don't know."

Situ Yun didn't know what was going on, so he stepped forward and slapped him: "Bitch, tell me! What's going on!"

Wei Qian frowned, but said nothing.Instruct Xiangling: "If you go to prepare water again, the people in the empress's palace will not believe it. You and Xiao Xiangzi will boil the water yourself."

Xiao Xiangzi is Situ Yun's personal eunuch.

When Wei Qian spoke, Xiao Xiangzi still hesitated, and looked at Situ Yun: "What are you still doing in a daze! Hurry up and do it!"

Xiao Xiangzi and Xiangling hurried to boil water.

Wei Qian looked at the backs of the two of them: "The Empress Dowager has ruled the palace for more than two years, and I never thought there would be someone else's internal support in the palace." Looking at the maid on the ground again, Wei Qian said: "The Empress Dowager's people are naturally dealt with by the Empress Dowager." .But thinking about it, I was deceived. Your Majesty ordered everyone in the water room to be detained, and I will investigate slowly when I look back."

"Come here! Go and arrest the people from the water room and take them to Yeting, and interrogate them one by one. If anyone colludes with outsiders, I will destroy their nine clans."

Wei Qian frowned, disliked Situ Yun's tyranny, but did not refute, but said: "Qiyun and the others on my side can't believe it, only Xiangling and Hongchun. What about your majesty? Let the people around you supervise, every day A basin of water, and each piece of cloth must be inspected by the imperial physician before being sent in."

When Situ Yun heard this, he suddenly felt sad.In such a huge palace, how many people can you really trust?

In a fit of anger, he overturned the table and ordered his confidants to supervise him.

The two confidantes personally guarded, and finally nothing went wrong.After delivering water and medicine several times, there was finally a cry from inside.

Wei Qian and Situ Yun's minds relaxed, and Wei Qian could feel the dragon aura on Situ Yun's body become more concentrated.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are a prince." Inside, Wen Po came out holding a baby boy, Situ Yun looked up to the sky and laughed, and the laughter echoed in Qingning Palace.

"Concubine Ning, look, this is my prince!" Situ Yun hugged the crying prince to Wei Qian's side.

Wei Qian didn't bother to look at him because he was wrinkled just after birth, and concentrated on staring at the baby's forehead.

"Purple Qi hovering, it really is priceless."

"Your Majesty!" Hong Chun came in from the outside and said in surprise, "Your Majesty, there was a red light coming out of the room just now, is there something wrong with your Majesty and Your Majesty?"

"Red light?" Wei Qian and Situ Yun were surprised, and asked people outside.When the prince was born, everyone outside saw the red light coming from the roof.

"This is the reincarnation of a real dragon. Your majesty, is my concubine right? There was a phoenix leading the way before, and then a real dragon descended into the world. This Lin'er came out in accordance with the destiny. This is an auspicious omen for Situ Jiangshan. God recognizes that your majesty is the orthodox son of heaven."

Situ Yun was very pleasantly surprised. This matter was handled properly, so he didn't have to worry about his dragon position. "Come on, call me down, I want to canonize the prince!"

Everyone was shocked, and the living room staff came in to take orders.This is also reasonable, after all, he is the queen's son, the first son and the eldest son, who can snatch him?

"Your Majesty, the empress gave birth to a dragon son, and everyone in the Moon Palace will double their money, how do you think?" Wei Qian suggested from the side.By the way, let Hongchun go to announce the good news to the Supreme Emperor.

"Yes." Situ Yun hugged his son, what else could he want?Responding casually, let Wei Qian handle it,

But there was one thing that immediately extinguished everyone's joy.

"Your Majesty, the ladies in the water room committed suicide."

"Suicide!" Situ Yun's face darkened, and he kicked over: "Useless thing! You can't stand the mere court ladies?"

"Come here, go and send all the people who have been in contact with these court ladies these days to Yeting, I must not let this matter go easily!"

"Your Majesty!" Wei Qian was shocked, and hurriedly stopped Situ Yun: "Pray for the birth of the crown prince, and it is not appropriate to see blood." After giving him a wink, Situ Yun gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger and left with Wei Qian.

When Empress Dowager Chen came out, Grandma Wen gave her the baby. "Where are the emperor and Concubine Ning?"

"Your Majesty just got angry and was stopped by Concubine Ning, and the two left temporarily. Concubine Ning said, please take care of Empress Dowager for the time being, and she and Majesty will go down to announce the good news to the Supreme Emperor."

"Oh?" Empress Dowager Chen also heard the movement inside: "Forget it, Concubine Ning persuades that nothing will happen."

Wei Qian forced Situ Yun to come to Yongfu Palace, and closed the door: "Your Majesty, how unwise, if this matter really breaks out? Are you really going to kill those princes?"

"Hmph! For such a thing, the emperor must not dare to keep them!"

In the harem, those who were regarded by the Empress Dowager Chen seriously, and who were able to attack the Empress, could only be the connections of those concubines and princes.

They have been operating in the palace for many years, and they are more powerful than Situ Yun's mother and son back then.Although it has been suppressed and weakened by the Empress Dowager Chen, who knows who favored these old people in the palace in the past?Who is standing behind it?

"Where is the evidence? Which prince do you want to attack? What are you going to do with the rumors in the court?"

"Evidence! Evidence! My son was almost killed! At this time, you still tell me the evidence?" Situ Yun snarled at Wei Qian, Wei Qian frowned, and sat on the chair: "Otherwise?"

Wei Qian said: "What do you want to do? Directly order the princes to commit suicide? Believe it or not, you will die of illness the next day? Everyone knows that these princes still have power in the palace these years, but who knows where?" Who is behind the palace people? Even if Yeting is reorganized, these people will not be able to find out."

"If you can't bear it, you will make big plans. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Situ Yun calmed down, sat on the chair, swallowed a mouthful of tea, still couldn't hold back, and dropped the teacup.

"Damn beast!"

"Okay!" Seeing that Situ Yun didn't fall enough in Qingning Palace, and vented his anger in Yongfu Palace, Wei Qian couldn't help but said, "The teacups on my body are quite old. If your majesty is not relieved, I will turn around and turn on my body and put the teacups on the back." I threw that wooden tea set for you. After the fall is over, we will file a complaint with the Supreme Emperor!"

"Complaint?" Situ Yun was thoughtful: "Yes, I can't investigate it myself, but I can ask the Supreme Emperor to do it. He is always embarrassed to treat himself and the future prince for the sake of other sons, right?"

As soon as the anger subsided, he returned to his normal state. After thinking about it for a while, his complexion was impressive: "Heavenly descended Lin'er, I lost my composure. You are right, if the concubines really did it, let the emperor come forward. The worst thing is Let the mother take away the power of control of the concubines, so as to avoid future disturbances."

Cutting off the rights of those concubines is the bottom line.If the Supreme Emperor refuses to even do this, then the conflict between the two emperors will be completely intensified by the Supreme Emperor, and he will absolutely not.

Situ Yun wanted to understand this, and looked at Wei Qian.

The two dressed deliberately, with red eye circles and disheveled clothes, Situ Yun looked sad, Wei Qian was weeping, and the emperor and concubine went to Tai Chi Pavilion to file a complaint.

A movie king and a movie queen, even the Supreme Emperor can't help but have a headache when they see each other.The two of them were firm and insisted that the Supreme Emperor should investigate clearly and clearly.

Wei Qianyu took pear blossoms, and said delicately: "Your Majesty, it is not because I am cowardly. If I can attack the empress today, there is no guarantee that I will not attack the concubine and the emperor in the future. If one day, this person stretches his hand into the Tai Chi Pavilion..."

"Pa—" The teacup in the Supreme Emperor's hand brushed past Wei Qian's ear. "Shut up!"

Seeing this, Situ Yun immediately put down his hat, and said with great sorrow: "Father, Ming people don't speak dark words. Who did this thing, I also know in my heart. I have endured it all these years. If you let my ministers endure this time, why don't you come out and take charge of the government again, and save those brothers who are staring at your ministers and heirs every day, and are going to let your ministers cut off their children and grandchildren."

The two sang together, and Wei Qian sobbed softly: "Your Majesty, those princes are your sons. Don't tell me your Majesty and His Royal Highness are not your sons and grandchildren. You take care of those sons every day, but have you ever thought about your son's situation?" ?”

The Taishang Emperor's face turned blue and white, and suddenly he raised a sword from the side and aimed at Wei Qian...
