Reborn as King again

When Duanmuchen woke up from the coma, he had already been carried back to the Laiyi Hall. He touched his stomach subconsciously, and the child was still there.He thought he angered Zhou Ling and ended up in the same fate as Jia Wanru.

"you're awake."

Duanmuchen, who had just been relieved just now, trembled when he heard these words. He looked sideways, and Zhou Ling was standing beside his couch, looking at him deeply, no, it should be his stomach.

Duanmuchen sat up abruptly. He wanted to leave the bed and greet Zhou Ling, but Zhou Ling blocked him. From the beginning to the end, Zhou Ling's eyes were fixed on Duanmuchen's stomach.

The cold light in Zhou Ling's eyes made Duanmuchen's whole body tremble. He didn't care about Zhou Ling's obstruction, and immediately knelt on the ground, "Queen... empress, please forgive me, I... I was wrong... "

"Wrong?" Zhou Ling smiled slightly, but the smile was not warm, "Why did Concubine Chen say such a thing, it is a great honor to be able to bear children for the emperor."

Duanmuchen finally understood why Li Mujing told herself that if she was pregnant, she must hide it from her, especially from Zhou Ling.How could he, who was born as a prince, not understand the disputes in the harem?As a concubine, the only bargaining chip that can give her a firm foothold is her pregnancy. No matter whether she gives birth to a prince or a princess, his status cannot be shaken anymore.Zhou Ling has been a queen for many years. At least when he entered the palace in Duanmuchen, Zhou Ling was already a queen. Zhou Ling is a man, and it is not easy to get pregnant, but now even himself who entered the palace later than him is pregnant. Son, can Zhou Ling not harbor resentment? !

"The imperial doctor said that you are almost seven months pregnant, which is longer than that of Concubine Wan." Zhou Ling asked with a smile: "You are really secretive, why? I am afraid that I will hurt your child. ?”

"..." Duanmuchen remained silent. In fact, this child should not have been born in this world. It's not that he didn't think about killing it quietly, but every time he made up his mind, he couldn't do it.

Zhou Ling thought that Duanmuchen was afraid, so he made a condition and said: "I need you to do something, as long as you succeed, I can spare your child. Now that the child is so old, even if he takes medicine, he will die. I can’t come down. I have asked the imperial doctor and the old lady in the palace. If you want to kill the child, you have to find an iron hook to penetrate through your lower body and hook the child out of the abdominal cavity... ..."

"Is the empress threatening me?" Duanmuchen smiled miserably, that's fine, if you can't do it yourself, someone can replace you, "If you want to kill it, just kill it."

Zhou Ling could see it. Duanmuchen didn't care about this child at all, so he couldn't help being a little surprised, "Why? Are you not afraid?"

Duanmuchen said silently: "He shouldn't have been born in the first place."

Zhou Ling really hated Duanmuchen like this, this indifferent look of not caring about anything was too similar to He Wenliu.No wonder Li Mujing would find him as a stand-in.Zhou Ling asked again: "Are you really unwilling to help me?"

Duanmuchen shook his head, no matter whether he helps or not, it's a dead end, not to mention that Li Mujing has treated him well all these years, he can't be so ignorant of what's good or bad.

Duanmuchen was so stubborn, Zhou Ling was not annoyed, he said: "I remember that the Duanmu family was released by the emperor and placed under house arrest in the south, right?"

Hearing this, Duanmuchen trembled slightly, and raised his head to look at Zhou Ling in horror.How could he fail to understand what Zhou Ling meant, he was threatening the lives of the Duanmu clan! "Even if I helped you, how would I know if you kept your word?" In Duanmuchen's eyes, Zhou Ling was no different from a lunatic.

"Do you have a choice? As long as I give the order now, you Duanmu clan will definitely die. I remember that you still have a daughter."

"..." Duanmuchen was silent for a moment, but finally compromised, "What do you want me to do?"

"I just want you to convince the emperor to write down an imperial edict to abolish the crown prince," Zhou Ling said.

"This is impossible!" Duanmuchen felt as if he was listening to the Arabian Nights, "What can I do, how could the emperor listen to me?"

There are only two concubines that Li Mujing trusts, one is Jia Wanru, and the other is He Wenliu. Jia Wanru is still lying unconscious in Baoge Palace, so only He Wenliu is left.Don't look at He Wenliu was beaten out of the dormitory by Li Mujing a few days ago and rushed back to Lenggong to catch the plague, but now whether Li Mujing is unconscious or awake, he is always calling He Wenliu's name.And Zhou Ling took advantage of this.

"The emperor won't listen to you, but he will listen to Concubine Wen." Zhou Ling said openly, "I think you should also be very clear that the reason why the emperor favors you so much is because you are Concubine Wen's substitute. You just need to pretend to be Concubine Wen, win the trust of the emperor, and tell the emperor that the crown prince pushed Concubine Wan down a hundred steps, and refused to admit his mistake, it is really difficult to inherit the throne..."

"I don't look like Concubine Wen at all." Before Zhou Ling could finish his orders, Duanmuchen interrupted: "I've inquired, and I have a fundamentally different appearance and voice from Concubine Wen. How can I pretend to be Concubine Wen?"

"You haven't seen Concubine Wen, but I have. Thanks to Concubine Wan's suggestion, I realized that your temperaments are very similar, in your manners, mannerisms, personality preferences, and treat others." Zhou Ling secretly observed Duanmuchen , it is inevitable to make a comparison between the two.

"But after all, there are two people..." Instead of finding him as a substitute, it would be more assured to find the deity in the cold palace.

"The light in the bedroom of Qianlong Palace is dim, and the emperor is seriously ill and in a trance. As long as you don't make mistakes, you should be able to hide the truth."

Cross the sea?For such a big matter as abolishing the crown prince, would Li Mujing believe a few words from the mere concubine?Duanmuchen asked: "What if the emperor sees through it? Even if it is a real Concubine Wen, she is not sure enough to convince the emperor."

"If you fail, let your Duanmu clan be buried with you." Zhou Ling replied indifferently.Really Concubine Wen? !Even if Concubine Wen really didn't get the plague, Zhou Ling would not go to the cold palace to ask him for help.

Zhou Ling planned every next step properly. It is best to have Li Mujing's edict to abolish the crown prince.If Li Mujing didn't write it, then he could instigate the officials to impeach him and fabricate Li Yi's ten crimes. Li Mujing was so sick that he couldn't make a verdict.

Duanmuchen had no choice but to follow Zhou Ling to Qianlong Palace. Because of He Wenliu's sudden intrusion last time, the entire Qianlong Palace was much more heavily guarded.

Wanfu has been guarding the door of the dormitory. Seeing Zhou Ling bringing someone with him, he hastened to greet him and said, "Your servant sees the empress."

"Get up," Zhou Ling asked with concern: "How is the emperor's condition recently? Is it getting better?"

Wanfu sighed, shook his head and said, "Recently, the emperor has been in a coma for longer and longer, and his mental condition is getting worse. I hope that the emperor will be blessed and able to get through this difficulty smoothly."

Zhou Ling also had a worried look on his face, and he said: "You also know that the emperor has been calling Concubine Wen and Concubine Wen in his mouth recently, but Concubine Wen is infected with the plague and must not be brought to see the emperor, so my palace I brought Concubine Chen here, and I ask Wanfu for your convenience."

Wanfu is Li Mujing's personal eunuch and the person who holds the most secrets of Li Mujing. He naturally knows that Duanmuchen is He Wenliu's substitute for Li Mujing. The empress is thoughtful, and I hope that the emperor will get rid of this heartache after meeting the empress Chenfei."

The door of the dormitory was opened, and Wanfu walked in with Zhou Ling and Duanmuchen.Xu Shi opened the door and disturbed Li Mujing, and a voice came from behind the screen, "Who is it? Didn't I say that, I don't want anyone to disturb you."

As soon as Wan Fu heard Li Mujing's tone, he knew that the master was angry, so he quickly shrank back, and winked at Zhou Ling, telling him not to go, so as not to be scolded.But Zhou Ling was not moved at all, he dragged Duanmuchen into the inner room, entered the screen, opened the curtains, pushed Duanmuchen to the side of the bed, and said: "Your Majesty, look, who is here. "

After Li Mujing was quarantined, Duanmuchen never saw him again.Now suddenly seeing Li Mujing's face dripping with poisonous pus, Duanmuchen almost fainted from fright.Duanmuchen wanted to escape, but Zhou Ling pushed his back desperately forward.

"You...you are..."

Duanmuchen had no choice but to bite the bullet and face it, "It's me, Your Majesty..." In the next sentence, I am Concubine Wen, and he couldn't say it out.

Fearing that Li Mujing was in a trance due to illness and lost his mind, he looked at Duanmuchen for a long time, and suddenly, he was overjoyed, and quickly pulled him to sit down, and hugged him in his arms, "You are Wen Concubine, you are Concubine Wen, right?"

Sure enough, Li Mujing mistook the person.I just heard Li Mujing say: "Concubine Wen, I knew that you would bow to me. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"It's my fault for making the emperor wait so long." Duanmuchen had no choice but to answer according to his words.

"Are you still in pain? I didn't hit you on purpose, I was just out of breath," Li Mujing looked remorseful, he took Duanmuchen's right hand, and said, "Did you seek an imperial doctor? Don't leave scars, I It will hurt."

Duanmuchen really couldn't bear to see Li Mujing's crazy appearance. A good person, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, became such a ghost because of the plague. The disgust and nausea that surged in his heart disappeared. He said softly, "It doesn't hurt anymore, Wei Chen is fine."

"Great." Li Mujing looked at the palm of Duanmuchen's right hand, and let go of the hanging heart, "Indeed, your hand is healed, there is not even a scar."

Duanmuchen smiled, and Zhou Ling behind him pushed back again, motioning him to hurry up and talk about Prince Li Yi.But before Duanmuchen could speak, Li Mujing said: "Concubine Wen, are you pregnant?" Because he was sitting on the side of the bed, Duanmuchen's belly appeared to be pregnant.

Immediately, both Zhou Ling and Duanmuchen were taken aback by Li Mujing's question. How could He Wenliu be pregnant after three years in the cold palace? !Duanmuchen was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, he knew he couldn't be fooled!

But Li Mujing's reaction was far beyond their expectations. He smiled softly, stretched out his hand to touch Duanmuchen's belly, stroked it lightly, and said with a smile, "That's great, Concubine Wen, such a gentle smile." Come on, you can forget about Dan'er, it's not in vain that I find you to sleep with you every day, and we will have another child in the future."

Wanfu was on the verge of crying beside the bed, it seemed that his master was so seriously ill that even his memory was confused.

"Dan'er...?" This was the first time Duanmuchen heard this name, so he couldn't help being a little puzzled, and he turned to look at Zhou Ling.

Afraid of revealing his flaws, Zhou Ling hurriedly added: "Concubine Wen, have you forgotten? Dan'er is the third princess, your first daughter."

"Daughter?" Duanmuchen felt that this role really couldn't be played anymore, if Li Mujing came up with someone or something that he didn't know after a while, he would definitely pass it off.

Zhou Ling's sudden interruption made Li Mujing unhappy, "Who are you?! I'm talking to Concubine Wen, why are you interrupting?!"

"Your Majesty, he is the empress." Duanmuchen said hastily, "He is the one who brought this minister to see you."

"He's the queen? How is that possible?" Li Mujing shook his head and said, "No, it's not right. I haven't made a queen yet, and the queen in my heart is Concubine Wan. How could I make him? recognize him..."

Zhou Ling looked ugly and embarrassed, what is this?Li Mujing has Jia Wanru and He Wenliu in his heart, even Duanmuchen is a double in his heart, but he doesn't recognize himself? !

"Wanfu, Wanfu!" Li Mujing called out loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Mujing pointed at Zhou Ling, and ordered: "Pull this slave out, and kill him! How dare you pretend to be the queen? How dare you!"

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Ling wanted to step forward to defend himself, and wanted to tell Li Mujing that he was really his queen.But Wanfu blocked him back, Wanfu pulled Zhou Ling out of the screen, came to the outer room, and said in a low voice: "Empress Empress, you should take it easy, the emperor is not in good spirits and has admitted the wrong person. "

Zhou Ling had no choice but to swallow his anger.

At this time, Li Mujing's voice came from inside the screen again, "Wanfu, Wanfu, go and get Concubine Wen's tonic, I want to feed him."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wanfu echoed repeatedly.Immediately afterwards, he pushed open the door and went to get the supplements as Li Mujing ordered.
