"Your Majesty, the emperor issued a decree to release the third elder brother's restraint, and also sent the third elder brother to attend the late emperor's birthday."

"This matter should be done by the third elder brother for the emperor. I heard that the third elder brother has a very good temper and a very kind person?" An Lingrong took the chess record and played against the chessboard by himself.

Ju Qing nodded, "Yes, the third elder brother is famous for his kindness. Once upon a time, a palace servant overturned the tea and poured it on the third elder brother, and the teacup shattered all over the ground. Instead, the third elder brother asked the kneeling palace servant if he would put the tea on his body. To the fragments of the teacup, regardless of the clothes on the body."

"The third elder brother is so kind, so there should be a good use for it." An Lingrong suddenly ate Hei Zi's move, "Isn't the fourth elder brother hesitant to choose which empress to fight for face? Send someone to shake it in front of the fourth elder brother , to remind the fourth elder brother that the birthday of the first emperor is approaching, and the friendship between brothers should be the most important thing, just like the eighth and fourteenth elder brothers of the late emperor."

"Your Majesty, something has happened to your Majesty." Jian Qiu panted and ran to the Queen.

"what happened again."

"Third elder brother, he, he..."

"What's wrong with it again? It doesn't matter, as long as I am still the empress and he is the eldest son, he will inherit the throne one day."

Jian Qiu panted and shook his head, "Today is the late emperor's birthday, but the emperor changed the yellow belt of the third elder brother on the spot, and rushed to become the son of the eighth master."

"What are you saying."

"It has been handed over to the clan mansion."

"Nonsense!" The queen slapped the armrest and stood up abruptly, "The third elder brother is the emperor's own son, how is it possible!"

"Slaves, how dare you talk nonsense, the third elder brother begged for the fourteenth master, the eighth master, and somehow mentioned him and nobleman Wan, the emperor reprimanded him for having evil intentions."

"That's good, what is he doing to help those criminals! And Zhen Yurao, Zhen Yurao is now the wife and concubine of his emperor Ama, how dare he?!" The queen slumped down on the queen's throne in disbelief, "It's useless , useless!"

"Your Majesty, please think of a way!"

"The emperor has always been cruel, so the relationship between father and son will be broken."

Jian Qiu also sat slumped on the ground, "Mother, if there is no third elder brother..."

"Without the third elder brother, there is still the fourth elder brother, and we still have the fourth elder brother!" The queen stared fiercely at Jianqiu and said, "Isn't the fourth elder brother always reluctant to accept the promise because there is a third elder brother in front of him in this palace?" Is it the palace? He is so thoughtful, he looks at me, don’t you know? Now Concubine Xi’s eighth elder brother is still there, and I don’t have the third elder brother, so this is his fourth elder brother’s chance! Hurry up and call the fourth elder brother over! "

"Yes, servant girl, let's go!"

"Didn't you always dislike the fourth elder brother? How come you are willing to accept the fourth elder brother as your son now." The queen mother beat the wooden fish, closing her eyes and not looking at the queen.

The queen knelt beside her, with a sad expression on her face, "The queen mother should know that the third elder brother has been given a yellow belt. It's rare for me to have a child, but I don't want my son to be helpless."

The queen mother didn't even pause, "The Ai family has long ignored the affairs of the harem. You come to beg the Ai family because you value the emperor's filial piety. The Ai family will help you speak, and the emperor will definitely not refuse."

"Queen Dowager, what my sons and servants do is for the glory of the Ulanara family!" The queen knelt and took two steps forward to the side of the queen mother, "Now the emperor favors two young sons and two young concubines. If you don’t catch it again, there will still be a foothold in the future!”

"Well, for Ulanara's sake, the Ai family will help you again, and the Ai family will tell the emperor."

"Thank you Queen Mother." The Queen kowtowed and retreated.

There was only the sound of the queen mother knocking on the wooden fish in the hall, Zhu Xi took the queen to pick up the cushion on which the queen was kneeling, "I'm afraid the harem will still be noisy if the queen mother helps the queen so much."

"According to the Ai family's knowledge, the fourth elder brother is only married to the daughter of the Ulanara clan as a side concubine, but he occasionally visits the Yongshou Palace because he was close to the concubine Xi who was a concubine when he was young. If we don’t have this child, we can only take care of the harem. It can be considered that the Ai family has fulfilled the glory of the Ulanara family, and it has lived up to the emperor’s country.”

In this way, after the third elder brother was stripped of the yellow belt, because the queen mother came forward to persuade the emperor, the fourth elder brother soon recognized the queen as his mother. I went to flatter the fourth elder brother; the palace people saw that Jingren Palace was still standing, and the one who should flatter was still flattering.However, although Jingren Palace recognized that the fourth elder brother had been busy for a few days, but as Concubine Xi's belly grew day by day, the queen said that she would not go out when she was sick.In the blink of an eye, as soon as November passed, Concubine Xi gave birth to her eight-month-old child ahead of schedule.

"Your Majesty, the palace servants have already taken the palace card and left the palace to invite the Imperial Physician Wei." Zeng Lixin persuaded the emperor who kept walking back and forth, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the concubine Xi is auspicious, and the mother and child will be safe."

"Since Wei Lin is taking care of Concubine Xi's child, how can he not look at Concubine Xi every day!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down, maybe the Imperial Physician Wei has something urgent at home and he just went back today." An Lingrong comforted him.

"If anything happens to Concubine Xi, I will ask her to be buried with her!"

An Lingrong turned his eyes and asked for instructions, "Sister Xi has been crying for a long time, and the concubine has also experienced childbirth. Why don't the concubine go in and see how Concubine Xi is doing."

"The concubine also wants to go in and see my sister." Wangui said kindly.

"Alright." The emperor waved the two of them in.

An Lingrong and Zhen Yuluo smelled a strong smell of blood when they were still close to the delivery room. When they opened the curtain, all the midwives were nervous, and the blood kept coming out, but the child's head did not come out.

Seeing that Zhen Huan was about to pass out from the pain, Zhen Yuluo threw herself to Zhen Huan's side and took her hand without hesitation, her sister yelled to make Zhen Huan wake up.

Seeing this, An Lingrong asked Jinxiu who was sweating beside him, "Can the ginseng soup feed Concubine Xi to hang her strength?"

"Going back to the empress, I drank the ginseng soup early, but the empress seems to lose strength easily, and now she is preparing the third bowl."

An Lingrong frowned, "How can this be done? Now that Imperial Doctor Wei hasn't come yet, how can he feed such a nourishing thing?"

Jinxiu was in a hurry, "But the empress can't regrow the prince's head, I'm afraid that once the empress loses strength, both the empress and the prince will suffer."

An Lingrong was about to say something more when a servant girl took the hand of Concubine Xi with a red thread. Seeing that Zhen Yurao had no intention of going out, An Lingrong opened the curtain and went out, only to see a few imperial doctors with slightly better medical skills in the Imperial Hospital They all knelt outside to check Concubine Xi's pulse.

Just as An Lingrong told the emperor what he saw, Jiang Cheng, who was the court judge, ran over and knelt down in fear, "Your Majesty, your majesty has not made up for the shortfall in childbirth before, and now she is weak. If they didn't come, we can only try our best to see if we can keep the empress and the prince."

"If Concubine Xi and the prince have a mistake, you don't have to stay in the imperial hospital."

"Yes." Jiang Cheng hurriedly ran back to the imperial physicians to discuss countermeasures.

"Why Wei Lin hasn't come yet." Yongzheng quickly twisted the beads in his hand.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is not well!" The little eunuch who was going to invite Wei Lin ran over.

Seeing the emperor frowning, Zeng Lixin reprimanded, "Why are you panicking? Don't you think Yongshou Palace is not chaotic enough? Let's talk later!"

"Yes," the little eunuch took a few breaths and calmed down a little, "When the servant went, the house of Imperial Doctor Wei was empty. The servant took a closer look and found that all valuables were gone."

Yongzheng sat down, with a cold light in his eyes, "What a Weilin, send someone to arrest him, regardless of whether he lives or dies."

"Yes."

Yongzheng glanced around at the concubines again, frowning tightly, "Where is the queen?"

Concubine Hui, who had just arrived from Shoukang Palace, said, "The empress has a headache these days, and she is ill. Right now the imperial physicians are all in the concubine Xi, the emperor, do you want to..."

Yongzheng turned over the beads in his hand, "No need, Concubine Xi's delivery will only take a few hours."

Everyone waited for more than an hour, only to hear a weeping female voice in the delivery room, but no sound of a child crying. The people outside felt bad, and a nun ran out and knelt down with blood on her hands.

"Going back to the emperor, Concubine Xi gave birth to a little elder brother, but the little elder brother was covered in blue spots and lost his breath right after birth, and Concubine Xi was also exhausted, bleeding profusely, and he was on the verge of collapsing! "

"What?!" The emperor stood up and was about to enter the delivery room. All the concubines, eunuchs, eunuchs and servants knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the delivery room is unlucky. You must not!"

"Go away. It's not the first time I've been in the delivery room!" Yongzheng angrily shouted at Zeng Lixin.

A group of concubines had no choice but to accompany the emperor into Concubine Xi's delivery room. Yongzheng glanced at Concubine Xi who had just given birth to the infant prince. Not only did Yongzheng's eyes change, but so did Concubine Duan's. Sitting by the bed and hugging her, through the curtain, he said to the imperial doctor kneeling outside, "Go and get me the best medicine!"

Zhen Huan's face was pale, Zhen Yuluo held Zhen Huan's hand, and couldn't stop crying, Zhen Huan smiled at everyone, "Your Majesty, there is no need. The concubine knows her body."

"Huanhuan."

"It's the concubine's blessing to be able to accompany Shiro again. Now that it's over, there are only three things that I still worry about."

"Just talk."

"The first thing is Shiro's body. The concubine is not blessed to be with Shiro again. I only hope that without the concubine, Shiro can still be healthy every year."

Yongzheng tightened his grip on Zhen Huan's shoulder, "No, I won't let you die."

Regardless of what the emperor said, Zhen Huan continued, "The second thing is that Huan Huan is worried about the children with Shiro. The concubine's obscurity is taken care of by the noble concubine Jing. The concubine is very relieved, but Lingxi and Hongzhan are still young, and the concubine wants Entrust my younger sister, Sister Hui Concubine," Zhen Huan's gaze was fixed on An Lingrong, "and Sister Yao Concubine, who will take care of the twins growing up."

Lady Wan and Concubine Hui nodded in tears, only An Lingrong, who was in tears, knew that Zhen Huan was reminding her to keep her promise. Hearing what she said, An Lingrong also nodded slowly.

Seeing An Lingrong nodding, with tears in her eyes, Zhen Huan moved out of the sad Yongzheng's arms, and leaned lightly on Yongzheng's knees, "This concubine cannot give birth to a healthy prince for Shiro, it is my concubine who is not blessed. Shiro don't need to be sad. There is one last wish, I hope Shiro can listen to it again."

"Tell me." Yongzheng stared at Zhen Huan, but An Lingrong and Concubine Duan Gui could clearly see who the emperor was looking at through Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan pursed her lips and said, "I only have this younger sister, Yurao, and I hope Shiro can take good care of her, and don't let Yurao be an unlucky person like me."

"I immediately made the nobleman Jin Wan my concubine, and raised Lingxi and Hongzhan."

Zhen Huan shed a line of tears in Yongzheng's arms, "So... it's fine as a concubine..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhen Huan was out of breath.Zhen Yuluo, who had just been made a concubine, passed out from crying on the spot.

"Wanwan!" Yongzheng shook Zhen Huan's body vigorously as if he couldn't accept the result, the emperor rested his forehead on Zhen Huan's head and murmured softly, "Wanwan, Wanwan don't leave, open your eyes again and look at me. "

Concubine Duan watched this scene thoughtfully, among all the concubines present, she was the only one who knew why the emperor suddenly said the last two sentences.

Seeing this, An Lingrong even asked someone to carry Wanbi down to rest.

Yongzheng put Zhen Huan on the bed, and seemed to gradually wake up from the fact that Zhen Huan had passed away. Looking at Zhen Huan's face that seemed to be just asleep, he told Zeng Lixin, "Why did Concubine Xi give birth prematurely, why did Elder Brother Shi give birth prematurely? If there are bruises, let me check them all out."

"In the past half a month, the emperor has been grieving over the death of Concubine Xi. Before Concubine Xi was alive, although the Emperor went to Yongshou Palace and Jingyang Palace a lot, at least he set foot in the Harem Palace. All the concubines have a hope. But now that Concubine Xi died, the Emperor has been working all day long. Bury yourself in the Hall of Mental Cultivation to review the scriptures...the harem will not even enter the harem."

"The soup my sister sent to the emperor, Zeng Lixin said that most of the emperor drank it, but the emperor... didn't come to my sister." An Lingrong sighed, "On the first seven days of Concubine Xi, the emperor was at Concubine Xi's Standing in front of the memorial tablet for a long time."

Concubine Duan also sighed, "I think carefully about the last words that Concubine Xi said before she was alive, and I always feel shocked."

An Lingrong frowned, "What?"

"Do you know what Queen Chunyuan's nickname is?"

An Lingrong shook his head.

"It's Wan Wan."

An Lingrong thought for a moment, "The word 'Guan' is also the title of Concubine Xi in the past. When Concubine Xi was favored in the past, the emperor would also call Concubine Xi Guanwan. Maybe my sister is overwhelmed."

"No." Concubine Duan shook her head, "Do you know that the second elder brother who was born by Empress Chunyuan also has bruises on his body, and before the end, he also said something like what Concubine Xi said before the end?"

"Sister means... Could it be that Empress Chunyuan possessed Concubine Xi?" An Lingrong forced a smile, "Sister, don't forget that the emperor is most jealous of ghosts and gods."

"But only I, the empress, the emperor, the empress dowager, and a few old aunts in the palace know the secret. Those old aunts are loyal servants with a tight mouth. I won't say anything, let alone the empress dowager." It would be said that the emperor will be sad if he regards Chunyuan as a mention, how could anyone tell Zhen Huan?" Concubine Duan said solemnly, "Besides, even if Zhen Huan didn't know where she got these words, the emperor's words that day The look on her face probably indicates that Zhen Huan is possessed by pure yuan."

An Lingrong thought for a while, "So what."

"I saw the second elder brother's body back then, and I suspected that the deaths of Queen Chunyuan and the second elder brother were not as simple as being shocked."

"Why did my sister say this?"

Concubine Duan recalled, "When the emperor was still a prince, Yixiu was the emperor's side Fujin. The emperor promised that if Yixiu gave birth to a prince, he would make her a Fujin. But when Yixiu was pregnant, Empress Chunyuan came to the mansion to take care of her. With a pregnant younger sister, the emperor fell in love with Empress Chunyuan at first sight, and begged the queen mother and the first emperor to make Chunyuan a Fujin. Seeing this, Yixiu couldn't insist on it. He only said that when her sister entered the mansion, she should be the Fujin. Later, Yixiu's child was She died prematurely, but Chunyuan became pregnant, so the emperor asked Yixiu to take care of Chunyuan, and you know what happened afterwards."

An Lingrong nodded, "The empress values ​​the status of concubines and is proficient in medicine, so my sister's guess is not unreasonable."

"But we have no proof."

An Lingrong said with a smile, "Now the emperor just ordered a thorough investigation. Half a month later, I'm afraid there will be a result soon. We didn't do this. The queen who said she was sick is the most suspect."

Concubine Duan thought for a while, "But the queen mother will not watch us do something to the queen."

An Lingrong held the hand of the noble concubine at the top, "There is one person who can hold the Queen Mother back. I'm afraid he hates the Queen as much as we do, and wants to find out the cause of Zhen Huan's death more than we do."

"You mean, Concubine Hui?"

After Concubine Duan left Yanxi Palace, it began to rain very quickly. There was very little heavy rain in winter, but it happened that it rained at night again today. It was bitterly cold, down to the bone.

An Lingrong stood by the window, facing the north, and poured a glass of warm wine on the ground.

Zhen Huan's words before she died were all heard by her when she was in the coral bracelet, so she taught Zhen Huan in order to create an appearance of being possessed by pure energy.Zhen Huan raised her baby with peace of mind during her pregnancy, and she was not frightened, but she and Chun Yuan gave birth to a son with blue spots.Once the emperor believes that Chunyuan is possessed, he will inevitably have doubts about Zhen Huan's dystocia and even Chunyuan's dystocia back then, so she can lead this matter to the queen.

In the past, the queen used alum to slander Zhen Huan, and later the queen taught the third elder brother to be unkind about the third elder brother being stripped of the yellow belt. The queen has lost the emperor's trust. The fourth elder brother recognizes the queen as his mother, but because of the presence of the queen mother, The emperor had to give the queen some face, not to mention that the fourth elder brother was still a prince who the emperor didn't care about, so he went more casually.

Now her introduction is to make the queen fall down completely, preferably with the fourth elder brother down together, so she will have no worries.

An Lingrong poured another glass of warm wine and drank it himself.

As for the emperor's thorough investigation, An Lingrong is not afraid that the emperor will find out any clues that will be related to her. Since Zhen Huan did this for her behind the back of the entire Zhen family, Zhen Huan's ability will not and will not dare to drag down her remaining arrangements. On the contrary, it can and can only help her to lead her to the queen cleanly.It can be regarded as the cooperation between the two of them.

It's a pity that it's only this once in a lifetime.
