Tyrant [Rebirth]

Rumors swirled in the palace, but Chu Shaoling quietly watched from the sidelines.

"Your Highness..." Wang Muhan was a little worried, and couldn't help but mutter a few words, "I'm worried, in case... the emperor listens to these words, and really wants to become a prince for the prince in Concubine Zhen's stomach, then why? What to do?"

Chu Shaoling smiled lightly and shook his head: "He doesn't dare to dispose of the elders and establish the younger ones."

Not to mention that Chu Shaoruan, the emperor's favorite, is still there. Even without Chu Shaoruan, there are already so many adult princes.

Wang Muhan was relieved a little, nodded, and said again: "According to the servant, there is no need to rush Concubine Zhen. The month is still young, and I don't know if it is a prince or a princess. If it is a princess, it is not worth asking Your Highness to pay such a fee." thought."

Chu Shaoling shook his head: "I'm not worried that she will give birth to a prince. There are already so many princes in the palace. Would I be worried about one more? I don't care if Concubine Zhen has this baby or not. In fact... I'm more I hope Concubine Zhen can give birth to the prince smoothly, but what I want is their own civil strife."

Wang Muhan nodded: "This old slave understands that His Highness wants Concubine Li and Concubine Zhen to fight each other, and His Highness will benefit from it."

"Not exactly." Chu Shaoling stroked the jade pendant on his waist, and smiled lightly, "My father-in-law thinks that Concubine Zhen is getting more and more popular, what do the people in the Zhen family think?"

Wang Muhan suddenly realized: "This old slave understands! Your Highness wants Zhen Jiaxin and Zhen Binwen's father and son to separate themselves!"

The Zhen family was originally a real faction of Chu Shaoruan, but since Concubine Zhen entered the palace, the balance of interests has begun to tilt slowly. Zhen Jiaxin is the father of Concubine Li, so it is understandable for him to support Chu Shaoruan. It's different, Chu Shaoruan is in charge, he is the emperor's uncle, but if Zhen Si's child sits on the dragon chair, he will be the emperor's grandfather, and it is clear who is far and who is near.

Since Zhen Si entered the palace, the infighting in the Zhen family has been expected by Chu Shaoling, but he did not expect that Zhen Si would conceive a child so soon. We should still fully support and support Chu Shaoruan, but from the selfishness of Zhen Binwen's faction, it is better for a younger sister's son to be in the top position than a daughter's son for the top position.

Zhen Jiaxin has only one son and one daughter under her knees, and Zhen Jiaxin is still idle at home because of the assassination. Now the eldest son Zhen Binwen has the highest official position in the Zhen family. If it is said that Zhen Binwen has no other thoughts at this time, Chu Shaoling will not believe it.

The emperor most shy away from murdering his heirs, and there have been no concubines pregnant in the emperor's harem for several years. This time, the emperor valued the concubine Zhen's child, so Chu Shaoling did not intervene by himself, but operated secretly. Zhen Si was sent to the palace by Concubine Li. Now, let's see how the two Empress Zhen fight.

In Yongfu Palace, Luo Shi showed Zhen Si a piece of small clothes, and smiled: "I don't know if it's the prince or the princess, I'm really happy in my heart, so I made some of them, the empress thinks it's okay?"

Now that Zhen Si is favored, although Luo Shi is only a respectable person of the fourth rank, the Empress Dowager has the grace to allow Luo Shi to invite her into the palace.

There is no mother-in-law Xu who is much more comfortable in Luoshi, talking to Zhen Si affectionately, and teaching the daughter who is a new mother some miscellaneous and trivial things.

Zhen Si forced a smile, pulled herself together and picked up a small dress, nodded: "Very well, everything is very good, it's hard for mother, doing these jobs is the most eye-catching, mother doesn't need to bother too much."

"Why are you afraid of trouble?" Luo Shi smiled, "This is the first prince of the empress, I am so happy in my heart, let alone doing these things, as long as the little prince needs it, I will give it my heart." Willing to give it, the empress didn’t feel it just after she got the little prince, but when the child grows older, the empress can feel him moving in your stomach, at that time, the empress can’t wait to give her life to him.”

Zhen Si turned her head away, tears streaming down her face, did she still wait for the child to move in her stomach?

Seeing Zhen Si crying, Luo Shi panicked, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong with your mother? But is there anything wrong in this palace?"

Zhen Si shook her head, weeping silently: "Mother, I'm afraid... I won't be able to keep this child."

"How could it be?" Luo Shi's face turned pale, and he comforted her in a low voice, "Your Majesty, don't think wildly. Since the Empress Dowager, who hasn't been very careful about your Empress Dowager? Now the Emperor takes pity on your Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is also very careful with her because of the little prince. It’s important, isn’t that very good? Your father is now in court, and people look up to him, isn’t it all because of your fighting spirit?”

Zhen Si's heart was even more bitter when she heard the words, her mother was dull, she didn't know what was going on here, the Empress Dowager now sent the judge of the imperial hospital to ask for her pulse every morning and evening, and they gave tonics and rewarded treasures, making people turn their backs, how could this be To value her is to flatter and kill her.

Zhen Si had some scruples at first, she knew that her father was not in charge at home now, and it would be no good to turn against her grandfather now, but recently, Concubine Li has become more and more disgraceful, she shames herself every day, and always says specious things , Zhen Sixing was terrified, afraid that Concubine Li would find a way to end her in the next moment.

Just before Luo Shi came, Concubine Li even sneered at Zhen Si when she went to pay her respects in the Empress Dowager's Palace. She opened her mouth, "Concubine Zhen, be careful, the month is small, and it's time for instability", and she closed her mouth, "Hello, Concubine Zhen. Means, being pregnant can still make the emperor not forget every day, two out of three days have to go to Yongfu Palace, you have to be careful when you sleep, you finally got pregnant, what if you are gone because of favors?" .All kinds of accents were so unpleasant that Zhen Si couldn't bear it.

Concubine Li has been fighting in the palace for half her life, and all kinds of shady methods are beyond Zhen Si's imagination. Zhen Si always feels uneasy when she drinks tea and eats food every day, whether she will still be alive in the next moment.

After all, Zhen Si is young, and now that she is pregnant, she has no idea in her heart, so she can only tell Luo Shi all her worries. Zhen Si put one hand on her belly and held Luo Shi's hand with the other, crying softly: "It's not my aunt who made too much of it. I don't want to say this anymore, mother... my aunt has always been unable to tolerate me, embarrassing me everywhere, I used to endure it for everyone's good looks, but now my aunt can't see that I have a child and wants to do something to me. I really don't know what to do, I'm young, and my foundation in this palace is also shallow, if my aunt wants my life, it's just a matter of raising her hand..."

Luo Shi exclaimed: "Concubine Li is so heartless? The concubine has never done anything, why is Concubine Li so vicious?!"

"I don't think I've ever done anything wrong to the Zhen family. Why did my grandfather and aunt treat me like this..." Zhen Si was resentful and angry, and said in a hoarse voice. Knowing that it was a pit of fire, did I say no? I recognized it! Later, I entered the harem by accident. Was it my idea?! I couldn’t help myself in marriage, and I recognized it. Now I am in the harem. The palace is able to stand still, and can’t tolerate me anymore?! Can I only be made to suffer and not allow me to have a glimmer of hope? Why?! Zhen Bihe is the daughter of the Zhen family, don’t I, Ben How is Gong worse than her?!"

Zhen Siyin endured it for so long, now that she has a body, she has both support and fear, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore, Zhen Si wiped away the tears on her face, and said seriously: "Mother told my grandfather exactly what I said, and told him , I have had enough and endured enough. After I entered the palace, I gave my aunt three points in everything, but she didn't care about family affection at all. Since this is the case, I can't care about anything else. One hope, if the child is born, I will live, if the child dies, I will die, but don’t make a mistake, I will never die in vain.”

"If there is even the slightest mistake in the baby in my womb, I will fight to the death, and I will drag everyone in the Zhen family to bury my baby. I will do what I say."

Luo Shi was originally the daughter-in-law who talked the least in Zhen's family, but now that her daughter is favored in the palace and she is pregnant with the prince, Luo Shi's waist gradually became stiff in Zhen's house, so she went to the main room that night and said exactly what Zhen Si said, At the end, I added a sentence: "The daughter-in-law doesn't understand anything, but she can see that the empress has a will to die. If this is the case, please think again."

Zhen Jiaxin didn't get angry, instead she burst into tears and sighed: "It's Concubine Li who has been reckless, and made Concubine Zhen worry so much, it's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

As soon as the old man cried, Luo Shi lost his mind, and said dumbly: "No, Madam Zhen is young, and there are things she can't consider..."

Xu's heart was full of hatred, but her face was full of grief, she cried: "The family is unfortunate, accidents happen again and again, now the two ladies are finally able to gain a foothold in the palace, and they both have a reliance, will the family members be unhappy? Daughter-in-law Wen, think about it carefully, do my grandfather and I count on the prince of Concubine Zhen? We are all waiting for the stars and the moon, and now there are only a few rumors in the palace, and you all believe them. There is no wind and waves in the palace, when will the gossip stop? If you take all these things seriously, your sister-in-law won't have to live in the palace all these years..."

Xu took Luo's hand and cried: "You know your sister-in-law's temper. It's not that I said that she must be strong when pinched. How did you treat Miss Si in the past, have you even forgotten?"

"You don't need to speak for her, it must be Bihe's fault!" Zhen Jiaxin smashed the table angrily, and said angrily, "I have liked mean people since I was a child, but now I even make fun of my niece and daughter. When you're overwhelmed, how can you stand her teasing?! Daughter-in-law Wen, don't worry, I'll let your mother-in-law enter the palace tomorrow, give Bihe a good meal, and let her personally apologize to Concubine Zhen!"

Zhen Jiaxin and Xu Shi are both good at rapping and singing. They cried and said all kinds of insidious deeds of Concubine Li into "joking" and "teasing". How could she really want to die? The daughter is pregnant with the emperor, and her good life has just come, so she is reluctant to die. Seeing that his uncle is so considerate of his daughter, Luo Shi feels relieved and cries: "The daughter-in-law is also a no-brainer. The palace heard my mother cry with me, and my mother's heart was completely broken by my mother's crying. Since the grandpa and grandma have opinions, the daughter-in-law can rest assured, after all, everything is going well with the family."

"That's it." Xu patted Luo's hand, and said softly, "Tomorrow I will enter the palace and talk to Empress Li, you, just put your heart in your stomach, I love Concubine Zhen no less than you, you just leave this matter to me today, then...you don't need to tell Wen'er, he has a serious heart, and you don't need to let him worry about things that were originally trivial."

Luo Shi nodded, and came to the main room to make a fuss. She was still worried that her husband would say something wrong with her, and she would not talk too much to Zhen Fuwen after hearing what Xu said.

After sending Luo Shi away, Zhen Jiaxin sighed heavily, and said in a low voice: "I was hesitant at first, but looking at it now, I can't keep Sissy girl."

Mrs. Xu wiped the corners of her eyes, sat down and shook her head: "Her heart is cruel, and she has big ideas. Once Miss Si gets a firm foothold in the palace, there will really be no room for Concubine Li."

Zhen Jiaxin sighed secretly in her heart, Zhen Si is undoubtedly more worthy of her own cultivation than Concubine Li, but it is a pity that she was 20 years late, and Zhen Si was really offended because of the big wedding, otherwise this is undoubtedly another case of the Zhen family in the palace. a great help.

Zhen Jiaxin also loves Zhen Si, but in everything there is something to give up, this time, he must let go of Zhen Si.

Zhen Jiaxin took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Look at Wen'er's wife, don't allow her to talk nonsense, Miss Si has already separated from us, we can't let Wen'er have an affair, such a big family business, why don't we give it to him? Yes, alas... and Empress Li, tell her to stabilize Si girl first, and there will be no more accidents!"

Xu nodded: "Don't worry, I understand."

The next day Mrs. Xu entered the palace and sat in the Linzhi Palace for almost an hour. She didn't know what she said to Concubine Li. Concubine Li went to Yongfu Palace to apologize to Zhen Si. She only said that she felt awkward because the emperor didn't go to her place recently. So don't be defensive, let Zhen Si understand Yunyun, Zhen Si doesn't want to make trouble too ugly, she also wants to raise the baby well, although she still has resentment in her heart, she still received the apology from Concubine Li. get along peacefully.

After more than a month, the weather gradually became cooler.

Wei Ji was on patrol in the past few days, and when he went to Yingmao, the internal servant, he preferred to take a walk in Taiye Pond.It's not that Wei Ji is playful, it's just because Wei Ji accidentally heard from the palace servant who served Chu Shaoling's tea that there was not much dew for Chu Shaoling's tea.

At that time, Wei Ji asked specifically what kind of dew was used. The female officer said that Chu Shaoling always liked to use dew for drinking tea, and the dew in the palace was the dew condensed on the lotus in the Taiye Pool. It used to be collected there. It's just that the weather is getting colder now, and the lotus flowers are getting less and less, so it's hard to find them.

Wei Ji usually drank Chu Shaoling's tea. In fact, he couldn't taste the difference between the tea made by the dew condensed on the lotus in Taiye Pond and the tea made by well water, but he knew that Chu Shaoling must have tasted it. Chu Shaoling is delicate, Pay attention to the use of things, and if something is short for a while, it will definitely be uncomfortable. Wei Ji kept it in mind, so every time he went to Yingmao or delivered something, Wei Ji would take a small urn along the way and go to Taiye Pool for a walk.

One day, Wei Ji took several guards from Bitao Garden to the inner guard, and when he came back, he passed the Taiye Pond. The guards joked: "Master Wei, when you send this dew up, you will also mention our brothers when you are troubled." The name, the prince knows, maybe there will be a reward."

Wei Ji nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll write it down."

The guard is a high-ranking official but he has no airs and does not bully the guards below, so most of the guards like him, because he will tease him a few words from time to time when he is young.

"Master Wei, that seems to be..." A guard narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the people on the stone bridge in Taiye Pond, hesitatingly said, "I see that dress looks like a concubine, I'm afraid some empress is interested in visiting As for the lake, let's avoid it first."

Wei Ji looked up and saw that it was indeed a concubine coming with the help of a few maids, Wei Ji nodded: "I should avoid it, let's go."

A few people turned their heads and walked towards Bitao Garden, when they suddenly heard an exclamation behind them, Wei Ji suddenly turned his head, and saw a person fell down from the stone bridge and fell into the lake with a plop!

Wei Ji put down the small urn in his hand, ran to the edge of the lake a few steps, and jumped into the lake.
