All my subjects want to usurp the throne

Chapter 245 Collapse, often in an instant
In the past few days, Ling Xiao asked them to do this in secret.

In the end, I didn't think of this matter, and I don't know who passed it on. For a while, all the concubines in the harem basically knew about it.

However, what they learned was that His Majesty took advantage of the fact that the three concubines in the harem were pregnant and took the opportunity to favor Concubine Wu.

She was even asked to embezzle silver taels from the treasury to buy a large amount of pearls!
You must know that this pearl is a priceless treasure. If it weren't for the support of His Majesty, Wu Zhao would not be able to do such a thing.

Now because of this incident, several concubines in the harem have expressed their opinions on Wu Zhao.

And those three also made an appointment with each other. At this time, they came to Ling Xiao's Zichen Palace.

Ling Xiao felt a little surprised when Li Dequan said that his three concubines had come.

Today is not a special day, why the three of them still have an appointment?
But thinking that the three of them were pregnant, it was inconvenient for them to wait outside the hall for a long time, so they were summoned in.
As a result, Jananfeng, Wei Xiang'er, and Huo Chengjun all had ugly expressions after they entered.

Ling Xiao also knew that it was very hard for them to be pregnant recently, and each of them had a bad complexion, and suddenly felt distressed, so he hurriedly said to them.

"Empress, Concubine Ai, what happened to you today? I didn't let anyone inform you in advance. If you know that you are coming, I will tell the kitchen to cook some delicious food."

And at this moment, Wei Xiang'er picked up the handkerchief and secretly wiped away her tears, only to see her speaking in a crying voice.

"Your Majesty, I thought you almost forgot about my concubine. These days, my concubine is pregnant. Do you know that I can't even sleep well every day, and I still have morning sickness these days!"

She was already full of grievances because of Xiang'er, and she also knew that His Majesty had been working hard for many things these days.

But when she learned that His Majesty had bought so many pearls for Wu Zhao, she collapsed completely.

It really hurts Ling Xiao to hear Wei Xianger's complaint.

Then he looked at the other two, and immediately understood their purpose for coming here today.

"So you all heard about it?"

Ling Xiao asked tentatively, but unexpectedly, this statement made the three of them more and more jealous.

Huo Chengjun gently stroked his stomach.

"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty really loves Concubine Wu Gui, why did you let your concubine bear a child for His Majesty?"

At this time, Jananfeng also pretended to be coquettish and said: "Your Majesty, the three of us sisters have worked so hard. Now that we are pregnant, we can't be with Your Majesty, but Your Majesty can't chill our hearts like this!"

Ling Xiao didn't think of what he said, and they misunderstood them more and more for a while, and he quickly helped the three of them to sit on his bed.

"My beloved concubines, please don't be angry. This is really not what you think. Sit down quickly and don't get pregnant."

Wei Xiang'er gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to Ling Xiao: "Your Majesty, what is this matter? If Your Majesty lies to us, then we will hate His Majesty forever!"

Wei Xiang'er is usually self-willed, especially when she is pregnant, she naturally likes to play a little bit of temper, so this time because of this matter, she was forced to rush, and what she said was naturally a bit ugly.

But she did this on purpose. She just wanted to let His Majesty know that Wei Xiang'er was not someone to be bullied.

At this time, Huo Chengjun seemed to be able to see that Ling Xiao really had something to hide, so he asked with some expectation: "Your Majesty, what is going on with this matter?"

The three of them came here today just to ask for an explanation. After all, the three sisters were about to give birth to a prince for His Majesty.

A few days ago, Wu Zhao was running around for them, taking care of their daily chores. He thought they were sisters, but unexpectedly, he stabbed them in the back.

"You misunderstood Zhao'er about this matter. Zhao'er is not such a person. The king asked her to buy this pearl, but you must keep this matter a secret for the king, understand?"

Seeing that the paper could no longer contain the fire, Ling Xiao simply told them about it.

"Your Majesty, you didn't want the south to attack the pearl before, so why did you buy it back at a high price?"

Huo Chengjun has already heard about this matter, so he usually doesn't know if he can help His Majesty, but he also heard his father mention it.

It is said that His Majesty is now sympathetic to the people, so the people are not allowed to pay this pearl to the palace.

But what is the meaning of this move now?
"I can't tell you about this matter in detail, but you should know that Zhao'er has been busy for you these days, and you can also see how important you are to me. You know it yourself. I don't want Do you understand the deep gap between you sisters?"

Ling Xiao thought about it carefully, luckily the three of them couldn't hide something in their hearts and came over to question him directly.

If the news reaches Wu Zhao's ears, I'm afraid she will be chilled by then.

"Your Majesty is serious?"

Wei Xiang'er still had tears on her face, she looked up at him and asked.

"really!"

When Ling Xiao said this, he scraped her nose affectionately with his hands, making Wei Xiang'er a little shy for a while.

Of course, the three of them were also willing to believe what Ling Xiao said, but at this time, Jananfeng reminded him.

"Your Majesty, the three of us sisters know about this matter in the palace, let alone the ministers in the court."

"You have to know that people in the harem have a lot of talk. If it spreads outside the palace, I'm afraid they will find out and become suspicious of His Majesty. A few days ago, His Majesty managed to win the hearts of the people. Your Majesty is at a disadvantage!"

Jananfeng is a careful person, when she first found out about this matter, she thought that His Majesty had returned to his original appearance.

But now that she heard Ling Xiao's explanation, she knew that this matter was not what she thought.

But as His Majesty's concubines and queens, as long as Ling Xiao explained this matter, they would naturally believe it.

But some of those ministers are very pedantic. I'm afraid that if this matter is known to them, they will definitely make a big fuss about it.

Ling Xiao thought about it carefully, and felt that what Jananfeng said was indeed reasonable.

For a moment, he felt overwhelmed. He originally wanted to do this secretly, but he didn't expect that the purchase of pearls would still be exposed.

Fortunately, no one seems to know that there are craftsmen who are busy making jewelry. It seems that he should not be too public about this matter.

"Let me deal with this matter slowly, empress and concubine, you must pay attention to your body recently, I will send a few court ladies to teach you to send you back later, take good care of your baby on weekdays, and don't move around too much! "

After hearing this, the three of them also knew that Ling Xiao was busy these days, so they didn't stay any longer.
