"I want you to never feel at ease for the rest of your life." I took a step forward and looked back at her eyes that were about to slash me, "You have to know that the mistakes you have done cannot be solved with just a single word. I will be condemned by my conscience for the rest of my life."

That night, Yelu was admittedly deprived of official titles, and was forbidden to set foot in the imperial palace for life.The golden seal and purple ribbon of Liancheng Jinxiang were taken back, and they were confinement in the bedroom, and they were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the harem.

Yeluhuan's resolute completion of two things aroused confusion and opposition from most people in the court.

But Yeluhuan did not explain these reasons. This is a family matter, and the court ministers must not know it.

That night, the golden seal and purple ribbon of Liancheng Jinxiang was sent to my bedroom by Chief Bai Fu, who said that the Great Khan had ordered me to act as the eldest lady in charge of the harem from now on, which also aroused the dissatisfaction of the princess.

The first moment she saw me, she slapped me directly before I saluted.

I didn't dodge, I took the slap abruptly, half of my face was burning with pain.

"Concubine Yue, you are so courageous, you dare to incite profuse sweat to deal with your younger brother and his wife." The concubine accused in a loud voice, her whole face flushed red with anger.

I was indifferent. In a sense, I did do such a thing, but how could I admit, "I didn't."

"Huan'er has been with you tonight, and just after returning to the bedroom, he made two orders. What crime of rebellion did they commit to deserve this? You must have bewitched him with words, and set you up instead of Xiang'er. Aijia I tell you, stop delusional."

Her voice was raised higher and higher, and her whole body trembled with anger.

"Didn't Huan tell you?" My calm voice was in stark contrast to her angry voice.

"say what?"

I stepped forward, whispered in her ear, and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "My brother-in-law is having an affair with my sister-in-law, what do you think, Concubine?"

Seeing the concubine's complexion suddenly changed, she moved her mouth, but she didn't make a sound.It was clearly seen that a few drops of cold sweat dripped down her forehead.

……

The incident between Liancheng Jinxiang and Yelv Chengzhen has gone through more than two months, and it has calmed down.But Yeluhuan still can't seem to let go, these days he often doesn't come out for several days in the imperial study, and I rarely see him, every time he comes, he just sits for a while and then leaves, saying that there are many memorials to review.

I know that he couldn't get away from Yeluzhen's matter, is it because he trusts this brother too much?Or, because I remembered, Yeluqi?
Perhaps, he was still shocked by the betrayal. The trust and precaution of the Emperor's House are mutual. If you are wary, the relationship between brothers will be broken. If you trust, you will get ruthless betrayal.

I have understood this truth a long time ago, but it seems that the more I get into it, the more I can't understand it... Everyone envies the emperor's house, but who understands the pain of being the people who stand at the highest place?
These days, Yeluhuan still treats me as usual on the surface, but the hurt in his eyes can't be fooled.

I don't want to ask more questions and provoke his injury again.

And I rarely see Liancheng Yanping these days. If his surname didn't remind me of his relationship with the Liancheng family, I would almost think that he is not the young master of the Liancheng family.

However, recently I heard that Yeluhuan frequently called him into the study, as if he was discussing some important matters.

Could it be to deal with Xiao Jincheng?So fast... Xiao Jincheng's court just removed Prime Minister Xia, and his vitality must have been seriously injured. It stands to reason that this timing is indeed a good opportunity to deal with Xiao Jincheng... But is it really that easy?
When I stepped here again today, I realized that I hadn't seen Liu Min for a long time, probably since I was grounded by the Queen Mother a year ago...

But when I opened the door, I saw her lying sickly on the bed, coughing harshly.

I immediately rushed to Liu Min's side, looked at the maid serving her and said sharply, "What's going on?" Why is she so sick?
"Young master, she has been coughing heavily for several days. The servants went to ask for medical officers, but they refused to come and treat the young master because they saw that the young master was not favored. The slave wanted to ask Concubine Yue for help, but at that time you were grounded again and could not see you at all. You. It didn't get better until a few months ago, but who knows that it relapsed again today, which is much worse than before." She knelt down violently, her body trembling slightly.

"Go get the medical officer right now, and just say it's my order. If you don't come, you'll lose your head." I gritted my teeth and ordered word by word.

Originally, he wanted her to find Liancheng, but he swallowed the words again.

Their relationship cannot be exposed, whether it is for her or...he...

Looking at her with a pale face, the worry in my heart became even more serious. She... If something happens, how can I explain it to Liancheng?When he sent us in, he asked me to take good care of Liu Min, but I didn't do it, and made her sick like this...

I clasped the limp hand tightly with both hands, and said in a trembling voice, "Don't worry, sister, you will have a chance to see Liancheng soon. He has the edict of the first emperor to pass on his throne in his hand. The first emperor... is very smart." Right? Before he died, he took over Xiao Jincheng's army... So we have a good chance of winning, and soon, you will be able to return to him, be with him forever, and have your own children."

I keep giving her hope, giving her expectations, and let her have an expectation to persevere.

She smiled weakly, and there was a gleam of brilliance in her dull eyes, "Together...children..." After laughing, there was a trace of despair, "No, my body may not be able to last that moment."

"Sister, don't talk nonsense, how can something happen to you?" I forced a smile and comforted her.

"My own body, I know it. If I really die... go back to him..." Her tears rolled down her face in an instant, soaking the quilt pillow, and my whole heart ached when I looked at her, "If possible, I really want to see Yan Ping for the last time now..."

My eyes were wet with tears, I swallowed hard and said with a sour smile, "As long as your illness recovers, I will arrange for you to meet, okay?"

Her eyes lit up, "Really? Can I really see..."

I nodded fiercely.

"Ma'am, the medical officer is here."

As soon as I heard the medical officer coming, I immediately got up from the side of the bed so that the doctor could check my pulse. I don't know if it was because I got up too fast or because I was unwell.

The medical officer hurriedly supported me, who was about to collapse, "Madam, I will take your pulse first."

I shook my head, "First check the pulse of little master Doro." I found a small round stool and sat down, resting my slightly dizzy forehead with one hand, and asked the imperial doctor to check his pulse on the red line.

After a long while, he put away the thread, stroked his beard and said, "The little master's illness has accumulated into a disease due to long-term untreated, coupled with her taciturn temperament, melancholy and heart disease, it is difficult to cure, I think it is better to untie it first." The little master's heart disease will be cured again. But...it's hard to say whether it will be cured or not."

Hearing this, my heart skipped a beat, Lao Gao, "What did you say? It can't be cured?" My eyes suddenly felt dark, and I almost fell off the chair. The imperial doctor immediately stepped forward to help me, "Ma'am , your complexion is very pale, the slave should examine your body first and then talk about the condition of Little Master Doro."

He wrapped the red thread around my wrist, and treated me for a long time. His face changed from initial worry to a smile, and he sighed happily, "Master, congratulations, you are a happy pulse. You are the first one conceived by Da Khan. Longzi, congratulations..."

My face gradually became stiff, watching the imperial doctor's mouth opening and closing, my brain suddenly couldn't function anymore.

He said happy pulse?I'm pregnant?How can it be?
My voice trembled slightly, "Impossible!"

The medical officer was stunned by my words for a long time, "Madam, it is absolutely true, you have been pregnant for more than a month."

I still kept shaking my head, as if I heard a thunderbolt from the blue sky, "How can I be pregnant... I have been taking musk for nearly half a year, and I am already infertile... You must have made a mistake."

The medical officer twisted the red thread again to diagnose me. I held my breath and looked at the expression on his face, and my breathing almost stopped.

After a long time, he withdrew the red thread and stared at me suspiciously, "Ma'am, there is no musk in your body at all, so how can you talk about infertility?"

I jumped up from the stool, "You're talking nonsense!"

The medical officer immediately knelt down, "Don't be angry, Da Furen, everything this slave said is true, there is absolutely no falsehood, if you don't believe me, please ask a few more medical officers to come and check the pulse..."

I took a few steps back again and again, "Impossible..." My legs gradually became weak, and my thoughts became chaotic.

The room suddenly fell into an embarrassing atmosphere, so weird that I didn't even dare to breathe, I could only clasp my fingers tightly, the nails pinched into the palm of my hand, and the pain spread.

The medical officer called out with some fear, "Madam..."

I was silent for a long time, and finally took a deep breath, "You are not allowed to tell anyone about my wife's pregnancy."

"This... It's a good thing that the eldest lady is pregnant..." The imperial doctor blurted out hastily.

I interrupted sharply, "Just follow my wife's orders. If you dare to reveal anything, you are the only ones to ask."

I returned to Lanxiangju in a daze, and the scenery everywhere was dim.

Xiang'er saw me coming back from a distance, so she ran towards me and shouted, "Master, Da Khan has been waiting for you for a long time."

Hearing this, I lost my mind for a moment and took a few steps back in a trance, wanting to go back.

"Xin'er." Yeluhuan called out in a low voice and made me stop, I watched him standing within the threshold of the bedroom, looking at me with serious eyes.

She dodged lightly and walked towards him slowly.

"What's wrong with you? Your face is so pale." He caressed my forehead worriedly, "Xiang'er, go ask Yan Ping to come over for..."

"No need." I interrupted hastily.

His worried look gradually faded away, replaced by a look of doubt, "What's the matter with you?"

"It's nothing, I'm just tired, just take a rest. Don't you have a lot of things to do, don't delay state affairs because of me." I pushed him out of the bedroom with a forced smile.

"Are you blaming me for neglecting you these days, actually..." He anxiously wanted to explain, but I shook my head with a smile, "No, how could I blame you. I'm really just... tired." Even more... ... Mess!
Looking at me, he suddenly fell silent, staring at me quietly, as if he wanted to see through me.

I pretended I didn't see it, and smiled at Xiang'er, "Xiang'er, send the emperor off." After saying that, I didn't stop any longer, and walked towards the palace on foot. It was very quiet behind me, but I never looked back.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty bedroom, the dim candlelight flickered on the table, and red tears rolled down, so I reached out to catch them.The hot red wax dripped on my skin, causing burning pain. I bit my lower lip hard to keep myself from crying.

——That's right, your so-called plum blossom brew has exactly the same aroma as the one I drank back then.

——Tell me, do you already know that there is musk in that cup of plum blossom stuffing!That's why you were a little excited when you saw me drinking this tea that day?
--Yes.

--sorry.

—Did you do anything to apologize to me?

——Nothing, as long as you are happy and happy.Go find your own life, fly as far as you can, and never come back.

I can't help laughing out loud when I think of everything that happened in the past...
