Tyrant [Rebirth]

When Zhen Si was helped up, she saw red. The Empress Dowager immediately ordered people to tidy up the side hall in her palace and let people carry Zhen Si over. Call Wen Po to come!"

The Empress Dowager reassured: "I have already asked someone to pass it on, the emperor does not need to worry."

The emperor was startled when he saw the little blood on the gold bricks in the palace, and murmured: "There must be no accident..."

The Empress Dowager looked down on the emperor's panic-stricken appearance when something happened, she licked her temples and said, "The emperor should go to the main hall and sit down first, and drink a cup of calming tea to calm himself down. , Nanny Sun! Help the emperor go inside..."

Sun Nanny heard the words and hurriedly helped the emperor to go in. A few maids guarding the side hall hurried over and said anxiously: "The empress dowager, the empress dowager... the concubine Zhen is not very well. Wen Po asked the servants to ask the empress dowager. ..."

The Empress Dowager was about to pass, but the people who turned their heads to look at this hall hesitated again. She was exhausted after spending half a day, and supported Chu Shaoling, rubbed the center of her brows tiredly, and said in a low voice: "You, you..."

Chu Shaoling saw that the Empress Dowager was short-spirited, and interjected: "Call in the princes and princesses who are guarding outside, and coax the princes and princesses back to their respective palaces, and advise them to go to bed early and not make any noise."

Several palace people hurriedly bowed and went out to give orders.

"Go and invite the masters from the Donghua Hall and ask them to recite the "Gongde Baoshan Divine Mantra" outside the side hall of the Ci'an Hall to pray for Concubine Zhen and the child in her womb." Chu Shaoling turned to the concubines and said, " All concubines above the rank of concubines stay here to take care of Concubine Zhen together with the Empress Dowager, and the rest of them return to their palace immediately without delay, without messing around, or exchanging news. What's wrong... ladies and gentlemen, it's best not to set yourself on fire."

All the concubines hurriedly bowed their heads and said yes. Seeing that Chu Shaoling's order was orderly and meticulous, the Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Follow the First Prince's order. If anyone dares to act recklessly today, don't blame the Ai Family for not caring about you! As for Concubine Li... ..."

Concubine Li was completely frightened at this moment, she knelt on the ground in a daze and didn't know what to say. The Queen Mother was heartbroken when she saw her, and said coldly: "Put her in Linzhi Palace first! Let's talk when the Ai family is free." Your business, go!"

Chu Shaoling took the cloak presented by the palace servants and put it on the queen mother. The queen mother turned around and patted Chu Shaoling's hand, and said in a low voice: "Fortunately, you are here, so the Ai family has a backbone. Your father... the Ai family is You can't count on it, good boy, if you work hard all night, go to Ai's bedroom to rest for a while, don't go out of the palace, Ai's really..."

"Grandmother don't worry." Chu Shaoling slightly nodded, "Grandson will stay here with Grandmother today."

The Empress Dowager was very upset, she turned her head and helped the old nuns to go to the side hall.

Outside Wei Ji heard the chaos in the hall and hurriedly asked Wang Muhan who was guarding outside together to go in and have a look. Wang Muhan walked around into the Ci'an Hall through the side door, and after inquiring clearly, he came out and told Wei Ji clearly, saying: "It has nothing to do with the prince. , I heard from the palace people inside that it was Empress Li who pushed Empress Zhen to the ground, she became pregnant and carried her to the side hall."

Wei Ji calmed down a little, looked inside, and said in a low voice, "Is Your Highness coming out today?"

Wang Muhan paused and said: "The concubine Zhen's birth actually has nothing to do with our highness, but... there is no one in charge now, so what does that mean that the queen mother let the prince sit in there?" When he came over, it was Wang Muhan who followed him. He also knew about sending news to Zhen Si, but Chu Shaoling never allowed Wei Ji to know about these secret matters, so Wang Muhan could only be vague: "If the concubine Zhen gave birth to a little prince, then what should I do?" The prince also wants to enter the palace to congratulate, why not stay in the palace."

Wei Ji always felt uneasy, everyone waited outside for a while, and a little eunuch came out inside, saying that it was Chu Shaoling's words, and asked Wang Muhan to take Wei Ji to the Bitao Garden to rest first, Wang Muhan was eager to make such a noise, and immediately wanted to Walking away with Wei Ji, Wei Ji paused and said: "I can't get in, please go and tell Your Highness, I'm fine, it's not too cold outside today, I'll just stay here and let His Highness not use it." miss."

Wei Ji insisted not to leave, Wang Muhan had no choice but to go in and tell Chu Shaoling, Wei Ji still stood behind everyone and watched silently, after a while the palace servants in front knelt down on the ground, and it turned out that Chu Shaoling was wearing a cloak When he got down, Wei Ji hurriedly knelt down to salute, Chu Shaoling approached and helped Wei Ji up, and walked a few steps to avoid the crowd, Wei Ji was a little guilty, and bowed his head and said: "His Royal Highness...Your Highness, please let me guard here , I am not tired."

In front of so many people, Chu Shaoling didn't want to say anything, so he put his black cloak on Wei Ji, and said in a low voice, "If you are tired, go back to Bitao Garden with Wang Muhan, don't get sick."

Wei Ji wore a thick cloak and felt much warmer, bowed his head and said, "Yes."

Chu Shaoling raised the Wei Ji, took advantage of the unpreparedness and twisted it in Wei Ji's hand, and the moment he touched it, he turned around and went up the steps into the hall.

In the side hall, Zhen Si kept screaming and pulling the red silk several times, but the fetus was too big to get off easily, Zhen Si with a pale face tugged on Wen Po's sleeve and said intermittently: "Help me...help me tell the Queen Mother, Say... ah! ah..."

Zhen Si was about to fail in one breath, Wen Po hurriedly took a piece of ginseng and put it into Zhen Si's mouth, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, don't talk, use your strength, you will have a bright future after this, Your Majesty. ..."

Zhen Si chewed the ginseng slices in a few mouthfuls and swallowed them straight away, with veins popping up on his face, he said in a low voice, "Go and tell the queen mother, if this child is lucky enough to be a prince... I beg the queen mother to persuade the emperor to send this child to the fief early Go up, don't let him become someone else's puppet in the imperial city! If... If it's a princess, I beg the queen mother... I beg the queen mother to keep the princess by her side, and don't ask for someone who is more prominent in the future, just... just find someone It’s fine for an ordinary son of an aristocratic family to marry lowly, I can’t escape my life... I just hope that the Queen Mother will think of me... For my contribution to the royal family, please take care of my child..."

Wen Po grimaced: "My good lady, when are you still talking about this! Use your strength!"

Zhen Si shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "There's more! Concubine Li harmed me... the emperor's heir, and made the Queen Dowager...be severely punished, go!" Zhen Si pushed Po Wen away. Staggering, Mrs. Wen couldn't help it, so she had to let other Mrs. Wen take care of her first, and then she stumbled and ran out to answer the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was sitting on the imperial concubine's couch outside. Hearing this, she couldn't help but feel sad. If Zhen Si hadn't been the daughter of the Zhen family, the Queen Mother wouldn't be like this For more than a year, the queen mother could see clearly that Zhen Si was not a brainless person who treated her harshly. If it weren't for such a terrible family background, the queen mother would rather have such a knowledgeable and interesting person around the emperor to serve her.

The Empress Dowager originally hoped that Zhen Si would go away because of this child, so that it would be over, and the Zhen family would have no hope of recovery, but it is one thing intellectually, and another thing emotionally, both of them are struggling in the harem Woman, Zhen Si's situation moved the empress dowager with compassion. The empress dowager helped Nanny Sun get up and walked directly to the delivery room and said loudly: "Concubine Zhen! It's not going well, what are you talking about? If you have such thoughts, you will soon send the child to the delivery room!" What if you were born without a mother and the Ai family took care of you?! You are also bullied by others, don’t you understand these things?! Stop saying these things!”

Inside, Zhen Si closed her eyes, turned her head and took a few mouthfuls of the labor-inducing soup handed over by Granny Wen, pinching her slender fingers deeply into the red quilt, following Granny Wen's words, exhaling and breathing hard , raised his head and screamed "ah"...

Before he knew it, it was the time of Xu, Chu Shaoling was thinking about Wei Ji, and when he was about to go out to have a look, Wang Muhan came in, Wang Muhan approached, bowed and whispered: "Your Highness, Tingyu... have returned to the imperial city."

Chu Shaoling's heart trembled, Tingfeng and Tingyu, these two were the spies he arranged beside Chu Shaoruan and Chu Shaomo respectively, Tingfeng was now with Concubine Li, and Tingyu was always by Chu Shaomo's side.

Chu Shaoling pretended to be convenient, walked out and whispered: "What is he doing back?! What happened to Chu Shaomo?"

Wang Muhan was fine in front of people just now, but now there are only two of them. The old eunuch was sweating anxiously, and said tremblingly: "The third prince will force the palace tonight! After Ting Yu found out, he didn't care about anything else, so he just ran away Come out, the news came through the waterway, the servant just received it, the third prince...he only has that little soldier, so he rushes into the Forbidden Palace in a hurry, is he dying?!"

Chu Shaoling brushed his disheveled hair, and said with a sneer: "He's not that stupid, he must have followed the letter from the palace, the princes and princesses are all in the palace today, as long as he succeeds, he can put all the royal family in the imperial city under house arrest Wake up, don't be afraid that someone from outside will turn against him again, and Concubine Zhen has a difficult delivery, the palace is at the most chaotic time, this opportunity is hard to come by in a century, if I were him, I would choose today."

Wang Muhan asked anxiously: "What should we do now? Do you order the mobilization of the imperial army to encircle and suppress?"

Chu Shaoling was silent for a while and shook his head: "No, I'll wait and see... see how far the third child can go."

Wang Muhan has served Chu Shaoling for half his life, so he can almost know what the master is thinking, and he couldn't help persuading him: "The third prince may not be able to get into the innermost part. Your Highness's plan...is very rare. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." , Your Highness should take care of yourself first."

Chu Shaoling smiled lightly: "Of course I know he won't succeed, but when the time comes, the army will be in turmoil. If the emperor is ill, it must be killed by the rebels, isn't it?"

Wang Muhan understood in an instant, his heart was cold, Zi Junhou was demolished by the emperor crossing the river, Empress Ling was humiliated because the emperor favored his concubines, Chu Shaoling almost died several times because of the emperor's partiality these years, Chu Shaoling knew the hatred in his heart, but he was loyal to the emperor The two words have long been deeply engraved in his bones, Wang Muhan hesitated for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Does Your Highness have to do it?"

"It's not me who wants to do it, it's Chu Shaomo who wants to do it." Chu Shaoling rolled up his collar, "I don't know what the result will be. If he can't even enter the palace gate, I can't do anything. Let's see..."

Wang Muhan was very worried: "Although you say that...but the servant is still worried about the safety of the prince."

Now Chu Shaoling was only worried about Wei Ji, and the palace gate was about to be unlocked in a quarter of an hour, so it was too late for Wei Ji to leave the palace. Chu Shaomo knew that he was in the palace, so he would definitely not waste time and go to the palace, where it was the safest place.

But at this time, Chu Shaoling was worried about sending Wei Ji away from his side, and that stupid thing would definitely not want to leave. Chu Shaoling took a deep breath and said, "Tell Wei Ji to go to Bitao Garden, and I will wait for him over there." .”

Wang Muhan bowed his head and went.

Bitao Court is still empty now, Chu Shaoling slowly turned around and entered the bedroom. The furnishings in the pavilion have all changed, and the bedding is also new. Chu Shaoling sat on the couch and touched the fluffy quilt. All the guards came, Wei Ji walked in by himself, and asked doubtfully, "Your Highness?"

Chu Shaoling chuckled: "Come here, I haven't been here for a while, do you want to?"

Wei Ji paused, recalling the familiar scenery he saw outside just now and nodded: "I think so."

Chu Shaoling beckoned Wei Ji to come closer, pulled him to sit beside him, and reprimanded him in a low voice: "I told you to come and rest for a while, but you just didn't listen, so you won't be tired after standing all night?"

Wei Ji smiled and shook his head: "I'm not tired."

Chu Shaoling smiled lightly, grabbed Wei Ji and kissed him on the forehead, took out a small white jade bottle from his bosom, opened it and took out a pill, said: "Open your mouth."

Wei Ji opened his mouth obediently, and Chu Shaoling put the pill into Wei Ji's mouth, and touched Wei Ji's soft tongue by the way. Wei Ji's face turned slightly red, he raised his head and swallowed the pill, pursed his lower lip and asked: "What did His Highness give the minister?"

Chu Shaoling chuckled: "I'll ask after you've finished eating, aren't you afraid that I'll give you poison?"

Wei Ji shook his head honestly: "Don't be afraid, Your Highness will also eat the poisonous minister."

"I'm not willing to give you poison..." Chu Shaoling chuckled, leaning on the couch together with Wei Ji in his arms, and said slowly, "I'm afraid you'll catch the cold after standing outside for half a day, it's just an ordinary pill, is it cold?"

Chu Shaoling put his hand into Wei Ji's clothes, and teased: "Let me touch..."

Chu Shaoling touched Wei Ji's itchy flesh, Wei Ji hid inside with a smile, begging for mercy in a low voice: "Haha... I'm not cold, Your Highness, Your Highness don't need to go back to Ci'an Hall?"

"I won't go back now. I'm tired after guarding for half a day. Take a break." Chu Shaoling straightened Wei Ji's clothes, let Wei Ji rest on his arm lovingly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sleepy?"

Wei Ji rubbed his eyes and nodded, "I'm a little sleepy."

Chu Shaoling patted Wei Ji's back lightly, and said in a low voice, "Sleep for a while if you're sleepy, and I'll take a rest too."

Wei Ji was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, and soon fell asleep. Chu Shaoling got up slowly, covered Wei Ji with a quilt lightly, turned around and went out.

Chu Shaoling's guards were all guarding outside, and Chu Shaoling told Wang Muhan in a low voice: "Stay here, don't allow anyone to enter, if there is any emergency...there is cold tea on the table inside, just pour it on his face to wake him up. "

Bitao Court was far away from the front, even if Chu Shaomo had twice as many people, he would definitely not be able to attack. Chu Shaoling made two preparations just in case, and went to the front after giving orders.
