Chapter 42 Thoughts and sighs

The clouds were light and the wind was light. The imperial doctor went to ask for Dong Meiren's pulse as usual, but after finishing the pulse, he said an assertion: "Congratulations, Madam, this is the princess in this belly."

Dong Keying was shocked: "Why did the imperial doctor say this?"

Wang Shu, who was guarding by her, urgently invited Wang Shu and happened to hear the doctor's explanation: "Madam, this vein is quite clear. It's obviously gloomy, and the mother doesn't like sour food and deserves a saying, sour men and hot women.

Wang Shu heard this and smiled. After comforting Dong Keying, she went to see Xiao Yuanqi. Xiao Yuanqi is in the Shangyang Palace, but since he returned to the palace, he has been in a bad mood. Every time I close my eyes, Shen Sirong's figure floats on the Qingming spiritual platform.

After Shen Sirong returned to the palace, she was also extremely estranged from him. Thinking of last night, after Shen Sirong said a few soft words to him about Dong Keying, Xiao Yuanqi set out for a moment and wanted her to play a song, but she refused and didn't want to keep him to sleep.

Xiao Yuanqi brushed his sleeves and went away. He did not look for the beautiful woman in the harem, but sat alone with the study of Shangyang Palace all night.

At this moment, when he saw Wang Shu coming, he showed a faint impatience in his eyebrows.

"What happened?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor just broke his pulse and confirmed that Dong Meiren's belly was a little princess. My concubine begged the emperor to let me continue to take care of Dong Meiren's mother and son."

The pearls on Wang Shu's head shook gently, and there was a reason why she said this. Originally, the emperor promised her to hug Dong Keying's child as a concubine, but now he is sure that the child is a princess. What's the harm in staying? But she did kill two birds with one stone, not only got the concubine, but also won the mother of the eldest princess.

Xiao Yuanqi stared at Wang Shu for a long time, as if he was thinking about something. He finally agreed to Wang Shu's request. Wang Shu smiled like a flower, but made Xiao Yuanqi feel annoyed.

He put down the imperial pen in his hand and went straight to Yongqing Palace.

......

"Madam, why are you hiding from the emperor?" Hanmei was bored for a long time before she dared to ask.

Shen Sirong held the golden hairpin of hibiscus in his hand and picked up the unlighted candlestick, and the lamp wick moved under the play.

"I'm not hiding from the emperor." Shen Sirong said quietly, "Hanmei, do you know why this wick can change with the movement?"

Hanmei shook her head and answered speechlessly.

Just because it has nothing to ask for. Just like the ostrich bird in the cage, it never knew that the outside world could live comfortably in the cage, but if one day it flew out of the cage and had its heart, do you think, when you return to the cage, can you still feel the same mood?

Shen Sirong sighed gently. She was the breetle bird. Originally, she thought she could stand side by side with him in the deep palace, but the drunken lake made her no longer want to take all of herself for a momentary love of the king in the palace. What she wants is still the desire to win a person's heart under the light of the moon.

"I don't understand what the Empress said, but the emperor has a deep affection for you. In any case, don't let down the emperor's kindness.

Han Mei's words were exchanged for Shen Sirong's hoarse smile. After returning to the palace, she was only spoiled in the harem, but Dong Keying's goodwill reminded her that these tens of millions of beauties were his wife and concubines.

"Who is going to lose my kindness?" Xiao Yuanqi came quietly and didn't know how many minutes had been heard by him. Shen Sirong was a little embarrassed. After she got up and saluted, she sent Hanmei to retreat.

There is less shame and tenderness in Shen Sirong's eyes, only obedience and humility.

Xiao Yuanqi stared at the familiar but strange Shen Sirong in front of him, and his heart was like a dull pain...

The continuous sadness in his eyes seemed to drown Shen Sirong. She seemed to change at the moment she returned to the palace, or earlier, on the way back to the palace.

Yes, Xiao Yuanqi doesn't understand. He doesn't understand why Shen Sirong has changed. But Shen Sirong will not tell him that she doesn't want to win his favor in the dark arrow of this harem. In this deep palace, even if you have deep affection, you can only live up to it. Then, she would rather hide this rich feeling alone.

Once again, Xiao Yuanqi left with anger and disappointment. Shen Sirong knew that he was as arrogant as him, and he was afraid he would not come to Yongqing Palace for a long time...

Shen Sirong has a big event in his heart, Queen Hui'an. She wanted to find out the matter as soon as possible, so that she could fulfill Xiao Yuanqi's wish. But before she took the time to investigate this matter, the palace was really rolling as she expected...

A line of black crows slowly flew through the sky, and the sad cry made people feel rustling. The dark clouds in the sky gradually approached, as if they were about to fall down. In the afternoon, there was a silence in the palace.

And Wang Shu's Mohua Palace is indeed very lively. Today, she is tireless and has been sealed as a noble concubine. The appearance of the master of that palace is very good.

"The noble concubine has arrived."

Shen Sirong restrained today's soft mood, and jumped coldly to his face. His eyebrows were even more clear and dusty, and he floated to the upper seat, which was not polite.

"What happened to Yingmei? Why did he suddenly kill him?"

The cold voice came from the bottom of Shen Sirong's heart. Under the imperceptible influence of everyone, her whole body was trembling. A few days ago, she said that she was going to see Wan Ying. But in an instant, she was dead...

It's not the first time I've heard of someone's life and death, but it's the first time around her.

Shen Sirong unconsciously straightened his back. Can't the people in the deep palace finally stand loneliness?

After scanning every concubine present, Shen Sirong clenched his hand. Who is the murderer... or, everyone here has a share? She couldn't help but be horrified. When her drooping eyes were raised again, she still disappeared. She did not harm others, but she could not easily be harmed by others.

The light in his eyes was clear, and Shen Sirong asked again, "What's wrong with Beauty Ying?"

The corners of Wang Shu's mouth were faintly **. She figured out the next hour. I'm afraid the emperor was about to arrive, so Wang Shufu said, "Go back to the noble concubine, Ying Meiren was found to be a guard in the private palace last night, and then swallowed gold and died."

Private meeting? What about the private palace guards with Yingmei? Where is it at this time? Shen Sirong naturally did not believe this statement. She listened to Wang Shu's words and asked another party.

Wang Shu replied in a low voice, "The bodyguard also killed himself when he saw his deeds exposed." The concubine sitting in the lower position was shocked to hear that the concubine was selfish with the bodyguards. This act, which violated the discipline and morality, made everyone couldn't help showing contempt.

Shen Sirong said, "In this way, there is no proof of death..."

A eunuch-like man outside the hall looked at it. Seeing this, Mother Shen quickly walked out from the side, asked the reason and walked to the center of the hall, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor has given me the full authority to deal with this case."

Wang Shu's face changed and she came back without looking for traces: "Mother, there is still a witness."

"Who?" Shen Sirong has vaguely guessed who the so-called witness is.

Sure enough, Wang Shu ordered someone to bring the maid up. Shen Sirong sneered at the corners of his lips. Then Shen Sirong only said that he was not well. He would investigate the matter again and dismissed everyone.

Shen Sirong returned to Yongqing Palace, and her face changed greatly. Her previous indifference and arrogance was just a cover-up, but now she has a burning pain in her heart.

"Hanmei, have you been seen when you went to the Cold Hall that day?"

Han Mei thought for a while, shook her head affirmatively, and only said, "I was careful all the way. They all avoided crowded places. There was only less time left for a pillar of incense in the cold hall. I have never met anyone."

Shen Sirong meditated for a long time, and the sunlight gradually faded away, leaving only a little golden spots in the house. Until the night invaded, Shen Sirong's eyebrows did not unfold.

......

At the Mohua Palace at the other end, Wang Shu told the truth with Xiao Yuanqi with a smile. Xiao Yuanqi raised the cup and poured the jade wine in the cup into his mouth. The eyes are shallowly blurred.

"Your Majesty, at this time, my concubine did not dare to disturb the noble concubine's sister, so I dealt with it privately. The emperor, don't blame the concubine. Wang Shu sat down on Xiao Yuanqi's side and pressed her delicate body to Xiao Yuanqi's arm, rubbing gently.

Wang Shu's eyes are not hanging down. She just wants to see Xiao Yuanqi's dragon body on one side. Who would have thought that Xiao Yuanqi pushed her away.

It was not only Wang Shu who was stunned, but also Xiao Yuanqi.

For some reason, he came in. When he saw those concubines, he was always a little annoyed, and when he slept alone in Shangyang Palace, he remembered the figure that went deep into his heart.

"I promised your position. When this case is solved, I will make you a concubine, how about that?" Xiao Yuanqi looked indifferently and raised Wang Shu's chin and said.

Wang Shu's water eyes were stained with candlelight red, which made Wang Shu's face appear a little calm with charm and affection, but when the eye waves flowed, the shrewd and deep moment reminded Xiao Yuanqi that this was Wang Chu's daughter, the pawn of the Wang family.

With a sneer, Xiao Yuanqi let go of Wang Shu, drank the last sip of wine in the jade cup, and walked out without looking back. At this moment, he really wanted to see her.

Avoid driving, Xiao Yuanqi raised his breath and quickly walked towards Yongqing Palace. The cold plum outside Shen Sirong's door saw a gale passing by, and there was already one more person standing in Shen Sirong's room.

There was no red candle in the house, only an oil lamp to illuminate the small square world. Shen Sirong turned his back to Xiao Yuanqi and exhaled a faint breath on his lips, and the flame flashed and blurred.

"Why do you hide from me?"

Xiao Yuanqi finally asked, and this question clearly put the state of the emperor in a low place. This sincere question made Shen Sirong speechless.

"Concubine, no."

The word concubine gave Xiao Yuanqi a strong sense of indifference. He came forward and surrounded Shen Sirong, which seemed to be hard but did not hurt her at all.

"From now on, don't talk to me as a concubine, just match me." If others hear such kindness, I'm afraid they will be overjoyed, but Shen Sirong is still indifferent. The tip of her heart is shaken, but it is also bitter.

What is bitter is that my concubine is no longer my concubine, but I am still my concubine.

What shakes is that in his heart, he is neither a minister nor a concubine.

Shen Sirong smiled and put her hand into Xiao Yuanqi's hand. Xiao Yuanqi held the white jade-like softness in his hand, and his heart was hovering with the long-lost warmth.

Hold Xiao Yuanqi's waist, Shen Sirong took the initiative to lean on his chest. As an emperor, he can bow his head to her, so why do he have to cling to the fear of the future?

The warm chest removed the miscellaneous thoughts in her mind, including Dong Keying and that child, Wang Shu, and tens of millions of beautiful women...

That's all.

Some of her thoughts are that she understands that she has been doing psychological precautions for so long, but she is afraid that one day she will not be able to suffer this emotional injury.

However, she already has the courage to live up to her affection and fearlessness. If there is such a day, what will she be afraid of?

Now, if you still push him away and get away with this affection, you will find yourself trouble.
