The Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager, and Li Mengyun took one last look at Concubine Xiang, shook their heads secretly, then turned and walked out.

The Queen Mother sighed as she walked away: "This is all Concubine Xiang's own fault. You can't blame anyone else."

The Queen Mother grabbed Li Mengyun's hand and paused before saying, "Little girl, you don't think I am cruel and ruthless, do you?"

Li Mengyun understood that the Queen Mother meant to quietly deal with the matter of the midwife and Nanny Deng.

Li Mengyun shook her head. She said, "You should be in the right position, make policies, and fulfill your duties. The Queen Mother must have her reasons for doing this."

The Queen Mother patted Li Mengyun's hand gently.

He sighed: "How can ordinary people like us give birth to such a weird child? The child born by Xiang Fei is an ominous evil demon fetus.

If others know about this and spread it out, it will damage the reputation of the Holy Emperor and the auspiciousness of the Qiong Dynasty. This is absolutely unacceptable."

Li Mengyun nodded silently.

If Prime Minister Mo's anti-imperial faction got to know about this, they would make a fuss about it, saying that Murong Qinghongde was unworthy of the position and force him to step down.

The people are ignorant, so it is not certain that he will succeed in inciting them.

The Empress said to the Queen Mother, "Mother, I will copy the 'Nirvana Mantra' and offer it to the royal temple for chanting and salvation. We will send this child off properly. After all, this child is destined to be with the royal family."

"Ask those idle palace maids and concubines in the harem to copy it." The Queen Mother sighed and rubbed her forehead with her hand.

"Yes, don't worry, mother. I will pass on the order and tell them that Concubine Xiang's child died just after birth. She is unlucky and has no chance of joining the royal family."

Li Mengyun helped the Queen Mother out and said, "Queen Mother, don't worry too much. This child is caused by Concubine Xiang taking some forbidden drugs. It has nothing to do with anything else.

Do you have a headache? Come back to Shoukang Palace and I will give you a massage. "

"Little girl, you are right. Seeing this mess, my head starts to hurt again. Let's go back to Shoukang Palace."

Everyone who was waiting outside Xiangfei Palace just now knew that Concubine Xiangfei's child died shortly after birth, and everyone looked heavy-hearted.

Gu Hantian was waiting outside the Xiangfei Palace eagerly. When he saw the Queen Mother, the Empress and Li Mengyun coming out, he hurried to greet them.

"Hantian boy, lend me your little girl for my use." The Queen Mother smiled and said to Gu Hantian, "Go find your brother, have a good chat with him, and enlighten him.

The child born by Xiang Fei is unlucky and has no chance of becoming part of the royal family. There will always be other concubines who will give birth to his children in the future, so he should not dwell on this."

Li Mengyun walked up to Gu Hantian and said a few words to Lord Gu.

Gu Hantian nodded silently.

Li Mengyun waved to Lord Gu, supported the empress dowager and went to Shoukang Palace.

Gu Hantian turned around and went to Long Xiao Palace to find Murong Qinghong.

In the Long Xiao Hall, there was a pot of wine on the table in front of Murong Qinghong. He was pouring cup after cup into his mouth, with a look of sorrow on his face.

Gu Hantian stood at the entrance of Long Xiao Hall and sighed secretly when he saw Murong Qinghong like this.

With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked towards Murong Qinghong.

Murong Qinghong glanced at Gu Hantian with drunken eyes and said sadly, "Junior brother, Concubine Xiang gave birth to a stillborn baby. Do you think I did something wrong? Is this God punishing me?"

Gu Hantian took the wine glass from Murong Qinghong's hand without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, my little girl asked me to tell you that Concubine Xiang gave birth to a stillborn baby because she secretly took some forbidden drugs. It has nothing to do with Your Majesty, so don't blame yourself."

Murong Qinghong sat up straight at once, eyes widened: "Did Little Divine Doctor Li really say that? Junior Brother, are you lying to me?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Gu Hantian said calmly, "My little girl is still in the palace. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can ask my little girl."

Murong Qinghong waved his hand: "Since it is what Dr. Li said, I believe it. But I feel sorry for the child. No matter what, it is my child. Xiang Fei, this ignorant and stupid woman, look at what she has done!"

Gu Hantian did not respond. The women in the harem used endless means to win favor and gain power, and this was just the tip of the iceberg.

Murong Qinghong patted Gu Hantian on the shoulder and said enviously, "You are still the best, Junior Brother. You can spend your life with a beauty like Little Divine Doctor Li."

A smile appeared on Gu Hantian's lips.

He poured tea for Murong Qinghong and glanced at her: "Brother Emperor, I wish to win the heart of one person and stay with him till old age. I have promised the little girl that she will be the only one in my life."

Gu Hantian gently pushed the teacup in front of Murong Qinghong and said leisurely: "Besides, other than my little girl, other women are worthless in my eyes, no different from men."

"You." Murong Qinghong took a sip of tea and said enviously, "Junior brother, you are so lucky."

Gu Hantian touched his nose, nodded, and smiled happily.

"Actually, you can do it, brother."

"What can I do?" Murong Qinghong looked depressed. "Junior brother, you have to understand that there is no other beauty in the world as talented and beautiful as Little Divine Doctor Li."

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?" Gu Hantian was unhappy. "The little girl is mine, Your Majesty, please don't worry about her."

Murong Qinghong waved his hands hurriedly: "Junior brother, don't misunderstand me. I am not thinking about your little girl. I am just making an analogy to say that it is hard to find a beauty as outstanding as your little girl."

"That's more like it." Gu Hantian smiled proudly.

"With more women, there will be more troubles." Gu Hantian glanced at Murong Qinghong and continued.

Murong Qinghong touched his chin, thinking about the various women in his harem.

They were all jealous people who tried every possible means to win favor. I shook my head in pain.

"Brother, instead of having headaches with all kinds of women, it's better to choose one person and spend the rest of your life with him."

Gu Hantian drank the tea in the cup and watched Murong Qinghong worrying about the women in the harem. After thinking for a while, he decided to speak out his thoughts.

"Junior brother, do you want me to disband the harem? Only leave one person?" Murong Qinghong widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief.

"If you, Senior Brother, only had one woman, a situation like Concubine Xiang would not have happened.

In order to give birth to the emperor's eldest son as soon as possible, to win favor and to ascend to the throne, she took banned drugs and gave birth to this unhealthy child. "

Gu Hantian's eyes, like cold ponds, looked straight at Murong Qinghong.

Murong Qinghong looked at Gu Hantian's eyes, which were like black pebbles in a cold pond of clear water, and lowered his head in thought.

Isn't it for the vast territory and women all over the world that I sit on the throne? If I only have one woman, wouldn't my life be less fun?

Murong Qinghong kept shaking his head.

Gu Hantian sneered: "What's the point of keeping those women who are not sincere to me by my side?

Senior Brother, have you ever thought about why the Queen didn’t get pregnant again for such a long time after giving birth to Princess Xi Yang?

"Does it mean that you have been drained of your body by the women in the harem? You have the will but not the strength?"

Gu Hantian glanced at a certain part of Murong Qinghong meaningfully.
