The second story of the ancient sword II

"Go and bring me the paperwork on the case." Emperor Sheng Yuan commanded Kong Zhaoyi.

"No!" Kong Zhaoyi blessed her body, brushed the bun behind her head, and followed the queen out of the inner hall.When she bent down to pick up the scattered clothes on the ground, suddenly a white silk handkerchief slipped out from her waist, and landed on the Queen's feet impartially.

"Huh?" The queen took a closer look, and the silk handkerchief seemed familiar, and it seemed that it was not a new item. The corner of the silk handkerchief was embroidered with pink and white plum blossoms.The most eye-catching thing is the bright red blood on the silk handkerchief!The Queen hurriedly leaned over to pick it up, and happened to meet Kong Zhaoyi who was leaning over at the same time.Kong Zhaoyi hurriedly avoided her eyes in a panic.

"This... why is there blood on my sister's handkerchief?" The queen seemed to realize something, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Don't my sister know that there is no blood in the palace?"

"Damn the concubine, the concubine... I was negligent for a moment, accidentally... accidentally cut my hand..." Kong Zhaoyi's answer was not satisfactory.

"Really? Let me see, where is my sister's hand broken? Hey, the poem on this handkerchief, the plum blossom and the dragon pendant... the kindness is not equal... a chance encounter by the sea... this, this, clearly... back Palace!" The queen stopped talking, she knew very well that this handkerchief was Hongshan's relic, and Emperor Shengyuan always carried it by his side, how could a little Zhaoyi use it to wrap his hand?That bloodstain must belong to the emperor himself... It seems that the scene in front of me is all an illusion, I was almost fooled.The emperor's deadline is approaching, so I must quickly find a way to get my Kang'er back to Beijing.

"Concubine...respectfully sending the empress to the empress." Kong Zhaoyi hurriedly picked up the silk handkerchief and hid it in her clothes, and opened her sleeve to look at the wound on the back of her arm.Thinking in my heart, Concubine Shu, I took the relics you left behind to lure the queen into taking the bait, but this is all for the sake of the third highness, so please don't blame me.I'll wash it off and put it back where it was.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Emperor Sheng Yuan's violent cough came from the depths of the hall again, and Kong Zhaoyi hurried in: "My concubine...the queen probably didn't see anything just now..."

How can Kang'er return to Beijing as a matter of course?Going back to Beijing without an edict is to resist the edict.The queen received Li Kang's reply letter, which made her quite troubled these few days.On the way back from the imperial garden, I kept thinking about it.If I……

"Stop, stop!" Before arriving at the Qingning Palace, the Empress was anxious to get off her shoulders: "I want to come down for a walk, you go back to the palace by yourself." A dark cloud covered the moon, and the night gradually darkened , the evening wind blew and sent bursts of lotus fragrance, which reminded her of something suddenly.

"Manqing, I remember that there used to be a large lotus pond at the entrance of Concubine Shu's Purple Orchid Hall, and it should be blooming now." The queen smiled.

"Going back to your mother, it's indeed a good time to be full of flowers." Man Qing replied.

"Then... let's go to admire the lotus." A strange look flashed on the queen's face.

The empress has always disliked lotus, so why would she suddenly want to go to the Purple Orchid Hall to appreciate lotus?Man Qing thought about it.It is said that Concubine Shu loved lotus flowers very much during her lifetime, and the Holy Majesty favored them, so a large lotus pond was dug out at the gate of her palace.As he walked and thought, he had arrived at the entrance of Zilan Hall before he knew it.The lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, the breeze is coming slowly, and the lotus flowers with buds and stamens exude a burst of tranquility.

"Manqing, do you think this lotus is beautiful?" The queen's face was not pleasing to the eye: "What if I want to pick one and take it back?"

"My servant is here to help you pick it off." Man Qing lifted the skirt and tied it around her legs, and at the same time smoothed out the wide sleeves.

"It's good that I come in person!" The queen quickly stepped forward and stopped Man Qing.Before she could react, there was a splash, and a large splash was stirred up on the surface of the water, and the queen struggled in it.Hey, the water here is not deep, the queen suddenly felt that there was a large slippery slippery area under her feet.No, for the sake of Kang'er, being rescued like this will not achieve the desired goal at all.Thinking of this, the queen walked towards the depths of the pool recklessly.

"Come on, come on, the empress has fallen into the water!" After a while, many people gathered at the gate of the Purple Orchid Hall.When the queen was pulled up, she was miserable, not to mention her shoes, and her body was covered in water and mud.

The imperial doctor stabbed the queen's Laogong acupoint with a golden needle, and she quickly woke up after spitting out a few mouthfuls of water.The queen realized that she was still at the entrance of the Purple Orchid Hall, surrounded by people, and immediately pretended to be crazy: "Ah... there is a ghost... Concubine Shu is back. Don't push me...don't push me into the water."

"Niang Niang, what's wrong with you?" Man Qing squatted on the ground and stared into her eyes, only feeling that the eyes in her eyes were stunned, which was very strange.

"Concubine Shu, she is a demon... her son is also a demon... ah..."

After returning to the palace, it didn't take long for the queen to start to have a high fever, and the news of drowning soon reached Emperor Shengyuan's ears.

"Absurd! How can the drowning be blamed on the dead?" Emperor Sheng Yuan flicked his wide sleeves, his face full of anger: "Go and see the queen!"

In the inner room of Qingning Palace, the large carved phoenix bed was surrounded by heavy veils. Emperor Sheng Yuan lifted the curtain, and what came into view was the empress's pale face, talking nonsense from time to time.

"Queen, how could you be so careless?" Emperor Sheng Yuan held the queen's wrist.

"The concubine just saw the beautiful flowers in the pond, so she slipped on her foot... That's why..." As she spoke, tears flowed from the queen's eyes: "The concubine may not die soon... Cough cough cough... "

"I heard that you... you... saw Concubine Shu?"

"Concubine Shu? There's a ghost... ah..." The queen started talking nonsense again.

"Hey... Queen, calm down!" Although there was a lot of noise in the palace, Emperor Sheng Yuan knew very well that this was simply impossible.

"Your Majesty, this concubine's life is not long, and this concubine wants to see her son..." The queen finally expressed her purpose.

"Okay, I'm sure!"

Marina Palace.

Hookah is curling up, the room is filled with the fragrance of petals, Ah Ruan has just finished bathing.

"Oh, what a big belly. Does the little guy inside live comfortably? Tell mother, are you little Yize or little Aruan?" Aruan smoothed her wet long hair, While talking softly to the child in her belly, she had a look of happiness on her face.

Yi Ze sat down in front of her, caressing his wife's puffy belly very lovingly: "Your belly is so big, are you tired?"

"Tired, a little bit, but he is the child of Yi Ze and I, so he won't feel tired at all." A Ruan rested his head on Yi Ze's shoulder, and suddenly asked an inexplicable question: "Hmm , What if Yi Ze is also pregnant, and Xiao Yezi is also pregnant?"

"Heh..." Yi Ze couldn't hold back his smile, and nodded Ah Ruan's forehead: "This... how can a man be pregnant?"

"It's not fair, women are not only tired when they are pregnant, but also painful when they hear that giving birth, I don't want it, I don't want it..." Ah Ruan leaned on Yi Ze's shoulder, talking about this and that.

"Ah, ah!" Ah Ruan exclaimed suddenly.

"What's wrong?!" Yi Ze was suddenly inexplicably nervous, and saw that the eyebrows of the person opposite were all knit together, with a look of pain on his face.Seeing Ah Ruan's appearance, Yi's heart beat faster.

A Ruan looked confused: "This is... this is... ouch... it hurts, it hurts..."

Yi hurriedly supported Ah Ruan's shoulders, and asked: "Could it be that you are about to give birth?"

"Ah?" Ah Ruan woke up, and suddenly realized that Yi Ze was frightened by her appearance, she wanted to laugh but the pain from the soles of her feet made her unable to laugh.I reached out to touch my feet, but I couldn't bend down at all, and it was very laborious: "...the month hasn't arrived yet, how can I give birth so soon...I just... just have a sudden cramp in my feet... Oops , oops..."

"Huh—come, let me pinch it for you." Yi Ze breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully moved Ah Ruan's leg to the bed. Just as he was about to reach out, he found something unusual about her foot: "How could it be so swollen?" ?”

"Oh, why are you looking at your family's feet? Don't show them, don't show them. Pregnant women will do this..." Ah Ruan quickly grabbed a blanket to cover her feet.

"Be obedient, let my husband take a good look at it." Yi Ze arrogantly pulled the blanket covering it, gently grabbed Ah Ruan's feet, and rubbed them carefully.

When the young couple were feeling affectionate, the housekeeper's voice suddenly came from outside the door.The butler told Yi Ze about the queen in the palace drowning at the entrance of Zilan Palace.

"It's her again!" Yi Ze's face immediately became overcast, and the knuckles on his fists were bluish white.

"Mother is so kind, how could she become a ghost and push her into the water? She must be talking nonsense!"

"She has a ghost in her heart, so let her say what she wants." Yi Ze looked at Ah Ruan with a better expression, thinking in his heart that this is the queen's trick, the second prince Li Kang will be back soon, he must be well Just be careful.Ah Ruan is inconvenient now, it might be unsafe to stay with her.After thinking for a while, he said to A Ruan: "The weather is quite hot, how about going to Taihua Mountain to stay for a while?"

"Yeah, I want to go there too."
