Chapter 68 Who will protect you step by step
It was determined that Mother Lan's identity was fake, and the next step was to bring out the man in Fengming Palace. Shen Sirong brought the fake Lan Mummy to Fengming Palace for this reason. Presumably the man couldn't help seeing this same face as himself.
All this layout still needs to be guarded secretly. Xiao Yuanqi ordered them to guard all over the Fengming Palace. Once the trace of that person is found, the truth will come out.
But after waiting for two days, the man did not move at all. On the contrary, Xiao Yuanqi knocked over the candles in the Shangyang Palace in order to hide the matter from Mother Lan. The fire was not big, but Lan Mage was "burned" by the emperor to live in Shangyang Palace.
Since Wang Shu took the medicine given by the masked woman, she has been looking for an opportunity to go down to Shen Sirong. However, Shen Sirong moved the palace to Fengming Palace. The internal prison in Fengming Palace was personally arranged by the emperor and had no chance to give it to her. As for making himself pregnant, it is even more impossible. No matter how loud the harem is and how loud the opposition there is in the court, Xiao Yuanqi is determined to favor Shen Sirong.
The harem didn't know, but she knew the news. The two prime ministers led hundreds of officials to kneel in the Taihe Hall for four hours before Xiao Yuanqi's words and waited for the noble concubine to make a final determination after giving birth.
If Wang Shu can't conceive herself, the child in Shen Sirong's womb must die, that is, he will not die. How can the stupid prince take on the responsibility of the world?
If you can't wait for the opportunity, you have to create it yourself...
On the day when the glow melted, the imperial concubine Wang and Dong Gui invited the concubines to go to a fruit tea banquet in the peach blossom forest in the imperial garden. Originally, Shen Sirong did not join in this excitement, but Lanxi also received the post, and her awe-inspiring brother ordered that she could not go out of the door of Fengming Palace unless Shen Sirong walked with her.
Looking at Lanxi's expectant eyes, Shen Sirong sighed and put down half of the embroidered belly pocket in his hand.
"Let's go."
Lanxi was overjoyed to hear the words and took Shen Sirong's hand and jumped: "Thank you, royal sister-in-law, royal sister-in-law is the best. Let's go. If you go late, you will not have fun.
"Don't you always like to get in contact with them? Why do you want to go today? Shen Sirong tidied up his clothes and walked out of Fengming Palace with Lanxi.
"I don't know. Today, Dong Guicubine will take her little niece. Lanxi will study hard. At that time, Lanxi will hold her nephew in her belly."
Half-truth and half-fake words are quite naughty. Shen Sirong touched his eight-month-old lower abdomen and had a loving smile on his face.
Fengming Palace is not far from the peach blossom forest. The two did not take a soft sedan chair, but walked. When they arrived at the Peach Blossom Forest, Lifei and her party saw Shen Sirong coming and got up to salute one after another.
Shen Sirong greeted her one by one, and Concubine Li got up and gave her the first seat. Her humbleness made people unable to find any mistakes, which made Shen Sirong not very relieved. There was fruit tea and a lot of pastries on the table, which suddenly reminded Shen Sirong of the small gathering that caused Wang Shu to leave the palace when she had just entered the palace for selection.
Thinking of this, Shen Sirong's wrist trembled, and the jade chopsticks handed to her by Wang Shu just fell to the ground.
The sound of "dong" shocked everyone. Shen Sirong smiled apologetically: "I didn't hold it firmly, which scared all my sisters."
The little princess held in Lanxi's arms hummed twice and cried. Dong Keying took her daughter over with a bad face, as if she was blaming Shen Sirong to surprise her daughter. Lanxi came forward to look at Shen Sirong's hand.
"Your sister-in-law, is your hand hurt?" Lanxi grabbed Shen Sirong's hand and looked over. He was relieved until he saw that Shen Sirong was indeed sound, but he was not interested in teasing the little princess.
Afraid that Shen Sirong would feel uncomfortable, Lanxi came to her ear and whispered, "That little princess is not good-looking at all. If her sister-in-law gave birth to a nephew, she would definitely be more handsome than her royal brother."
These words of comfort made Shen Sirong laugh, and their relationship fell into the eyes of others, which made the name of the emperor's favorite even more solid.
The atmosphere on the table was a little stiff. Zeng Min smiled and greeted everyone to eat, and Shen Sirong also picked up the pastries on the table and sent them to her mouth.
Wu Wanqing sat in the lower seat. When she saw Shen Sirong picking up something and wanted to eat it, she exclaimed, "Sister Guifei, it's better for me to eat less..."
The aftertaste of the words is strong, but Shen Sirong feels that he can still listen to Wu Wanqing's words. After all, he saved her several times. In terms of relationship, it is naturally better than the rest of the concubines.
"Is it a Hongmen banquet today?" For the children in Shen Sirong's womb, Lanxi is particularly maintained. Even if it was just Wu Wanqing's casual words, it was enough to make Lanxi defensive. She grew up in the palace and naturally heard of all kinds of means.
Shen Sirong smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. Don't misunderstand me. What my sister said is that I took walnut cake. Walnuts nourish the brain and bones, but the fetal bones in the abdomen will be too big, and I'm afraid that it will be easy to give birth. It's the palace that ignored..." (This is nonsense.)
For this reason, Wu Wanqing's blunt words were regarded as a kind concern, and also comforted the hearts of the rest of the concubines. However, Wang Shu's eyes could not suppress the trembling. She lowered her eyes and drank a cup of fruit tea in front of her, and then raised her eyes and smiled: "What the noble concubine said is that our sisters get together and where did they plan to get together? Sister, this is a fruit tea made by my concubine, which is good for the little prince. Would you like to try it?
A pair of watery eyes were clear. Shen Sirong smiled back and then reached out to pick up the cup.
"Oh, sister, let's try it first." Zeng Min took the tea in Wang Shu's hand and was satisfied after drinking it: "It's really a good tea, and it's fragrant. Sister Lifei should do more in the future.
Seeing the beauty's endless praise, the rest of the concubines asked for tea to eat, and even Lanxi praised it. But the more so, Shen Sirong has been playing drums in his heart.
quietly took the teacup, picked up the teacup in one hand, and dragged under his lips with a silk handkerchief in the other. Shen Sirong took a sip, and then smiled and sighed, "It's really good tea."
Seeing Shen Sirong drinking fruit tea, the atmosphere on the table was a little more relaxed. A group of concubines talked about the folk stories heard from the maidservants, which was also full of joy.
Shen Sirong stayed for more than an hour and couldn't help but feel sleepy. Seeing this, Wang Shu withdrew the fruit tea banquet, and several people left the peach blossom forest together. Shen Sirong walked in the front, next to Lanxi and Wu Wanqing. He walked to the fish pond in the royal garden. Lanxi became playful for a moment, reached out and squatted down, and stretched out his hand into the water to play. Shen Sirong saw that the water soaked Lanxi's embroidery, he reached out to pull her, but his waist was hit hard and fell forward.
Before falling into the water, Shen Sirong could only hear the screams of a group of concubines...
During the confusion, there was a burst of hot and shivering on his body, and his fingers were tightly grasped in the palm of his hand. The strength was very strong, and his fingers were pinched and painful.
There has always been a faint cry in her ear. What's wrong with her? Who is crying?
Shen Sirong exhaled in pain: "It hurts..."
"Sirong, Sirong..." The familiar call made her hum and think of herself.
Slowly opened his eyes, Xiao Yuanqi's anxious face showed a trace of joy, and his originally handsome face was full of haggard green scum. Shen Sirong recovered a little, was stunned, and then stroked his lower abdomen.
It was not until he touched the still protruding abdomen that Shen Sirong exhaled.
"Your Majesty... the child is fine." Shen Sirong's throat was very hoarse, and his heart was full of palpitations.
Xiao Yuanqi bent down and put his cheek against her cheek and said, "Yes, our child is fine."
"Your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law, you wake up. If something happens, Lanxi will not live." Lanxi's crying sobbed, and a pair of swollen peaches still had tears in their eyes.
"Don't cry, I'm fine." Shen Sirong stretched out his other hand to appease Lanxi, who cried miserably, but was pressed by Xiao Yuanqi.
"She should cry. If she hadn't been greedy for a moment, how could she have caused you?" Xiao Yuanqi has always loved Lanxi. I'm afraid that today's words make Lanxi extremely sad. Shen Sirong looked at it, and sure enough, Lanxi's eyes turned red again.
He sighed: "My concubine was pushed down, not by Lanxi."
"All retreat." Xiao Yuanqi shouted, and then motioned the palace people in the hall to retreat. Lanxi's face was solemn, and her clenched hands showed her anger. Xiao Yuanqi waved his hand and motioned her to retreat.
"Brother?" If Xiao Yuanqi wants to find the murderer most at this moment, Lanxi is the one who wants to smash the murderer into ten thousand pieces.
Xiao Yuanqi ignored Lanxi's request and said harshly, "Get back."
Lanxi reluctantly retreated, and Xiao Yuanqi helped Shen Sirong get up. When Shen Sirong gasped and leaned against his arms, Xiao Yuanqi asked for the details at that time.
"What the hell is going on? I had already guessed that it wouldn't be so simple.
"When my concubine saw that Lanxi's sleeves were wet, she wanted to pull her up. Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved her waist, she was hit and then fell into the water." Shen Sirong thought about the situation when he fell into the water, which really made people panic.
Xiao Yuanqi thought for a while and said, "Then do you know who pushed you?"
"It won't be Lanxi and Concubine Wu. As for others, I really don't know." Shen Sirong already knew who Yomo was, but he didn't dare to say it casually, let alone there was no evidence.
Xiao Yuanqi looked at Shen Sirong's expression and knew it in his heart.
"Your Majesty, who is the concubine?" Shen Sirong wanted to inquire from that population.
"It's the cold night that saved you."
"Since it's a cold night, who has he seen?" Shen Sirong also wants to know who it is. The harem is full of hidden arrows. She is about to give birth to a child. If she knows it, it is the first volume of self-protection.
Xiao Yuanqi frowned and stared. In the cold night, he was a dark guard. At that time, the concubines naturally had to avoid gathering. When Shen Sirong had an accident, he rescued Shen Sirong when he heard the sound, but only saw that the concubines were closest to Shen Sirong.
"Don't worry about this, I will deal with it myself." Xiao Yuanqi comforted him in a soft voice.
Shen Sirong hugged Xiao Yuanqi's waist and shook his head and said, "The emperor is afraid that my concubine will be worried, but he doesn't know that my concubine is not that someone is really worried about it, but that he doesn't know who the hand behind him is. If something happens, he can't find the Lord..."
In the harem, she does not harm others, but must beware of being killed by others. If she is single, it's fine, but when it comes to the battle between the court and the fetus in her womb, how can Shen Sirong take it lightly? At least, she will try to avoid it.
coaxing Shen Sirong to sleep, Xiao Yuanqi ordered people to gather all the concubines in the harem to Shangyang Palace. Looking at Shen Sirong's sleeping face, Xiao Yuanqi's eyes were full of anger.
Sirong, you are too kind, then I will protect you...
