Chapter 271: The last glimmer of hope

The snow outside the window has stopped, and the sun shines in through the window screen. The snow light makes people dare not look directly. After the Empress Dowager sat with her back to the window and withdrew everyone in the hall, she said, "My family knows that you must be very sad about this. It's also the pity family. On that day, the mourning family told the two maids around you that the dragon fetus is important. If there is anything big, you should first take care of the safety of yourself and the dragon fetus. Otherwise, you won't be in such a situation with Spher now. Wan'er, if you want to blame, you can blame the family. It's all that this old lady is not good. She has a lot of selfishness and doesn't care about your flesh and blood affection, you..."

"I don't blame you, and I dare not resent the emperor." It seemed that the purpose of the Empress Dowager had already been expected. Shangguan Wanyan just smiled calmly when she heard the words, but the light green tea in her hand rippled slightly. She said faintly, "In my position, she is already a dilemma. Everything is fate. How can I hurt myself with some words? Hearing the news that my eldest brother died in the battle, I was sad and sad. These are all natural, but I can't blame anyone for this, because everything is because of myself. Since I decided to enter the palace, I had already figured it out at the moment I left home.

"My family watched you grow up and also knew your nature. Although you looked strong, you were actually the most considerate person. But now, you know----."

The Empress Dowager said, which seemed to be quite emotional. She sighed and said, "I don't say much about the rest of the things. I just want to remind you that you are now special and highly valued by the emperor, which will inevitably cause a lot of things. If there is anything in the future, when it is inconvenient for you to come forward, just let people come to Zizhuyuan to report to your family. Don't be too wronged.

Shangguan Wan looked into the eyes of the Empress Dowager and smiled, "With your words, what else can I worry about?"

"Ha ha, Wan'er, after listening to your words, I know that I'm perfunctory. Good child, I know that you are suffering in your heart, but you must take care of the child in your belly! You know, now this child is not only related to your own honor and disgrace, but also the fate of your whole Shangguan clan!"

"Please rest assured, Empress Dowager, I also know this, so no matter how hard my heart is, I will not be tired of the child in my womb. After all, he is also my own flesh and blood. How can a mother not care about her child? Are you right?"

After saying that, Shangguan Wanyan lowered his head and stroked his bulging abdomen. Although the smile on his face looked a little desolate, it also had a maternal brilliance.

The Empress Dowager looked at the bottom of her eyes, and there was also a burst of sadness in her heart. She thought for a moment and finally said, "Don't worry, the family has promised your father that as long as you enter the palace to become the imperial concubine, as long as the family is alive, I will try my best to protect you. Even if the mourning family leaves one day, it will leave you a decree to ensure the glory of your mother and son.

Shangguan Wan smiled at the Empress Dowager and nodded, "Okay, then I will thank the Empress Dowager for the child."

"What are you doing so polite to your family? Your child is the great-grandson of my family. If you feel sorry for him, you will naturally feel sorry for him.

"Well, these concubines know that the empress dowager will definitely tell this child about your kindness to my concubine and let him honor you in the future."

Shangguan Wan thought of the child with a rare soft smile and looked like a lake of spring water.

When the Empress Dowager saw that she seemed to be loose, she took the opportunity to explain: "Yes, you have been pregnant for so long, and now the weather is cold, but is it sultry? Don't worry, after the beginning of spring, the snow on the ground will melt, and then you can ask the emperor to accompany you to Xilin Hunting Ground to ride a horse and relax.

"Ha ha, thank you for your kindness. It's just that I'm going to have a big month. If I'm about to give birth, it's better not to walk around."

"Oh, well, then you can put up with it again." The Empress Dowager racked her brains to think about it, and finally shook her head and smiled, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I feel ashamed when I think about it. In the past, when I was young, I fainted when I saw blood. How dare I go to participate in any hunting? After all, you are the daughter of a general, and your heroic posture of riding a horse and pulling a bow is different. Therefore, this body bone is also particularly strong.

Recalling what happened when she was a child, the time when she was spoiled and cared for by her father and brother, Shangguan Wan's heart gave birth to some softness.

"Yes, when I was a child, my father liked to take me out to play. If it was a snowy day, he would take me to catch rabbits. I still remember that several peacocks in my yard were personally captured by my father. It's just a pity that I don't know how it looks now.

The Empress Dowager was very happy to hear this and smiled, "What's the difficulty? Tomorrow, I will ask someone to send the peacocks you raised before to the palace, and then ask someone to build a garden for the original to make it easy to raise. When you have time, you can also go to see them from time to time. Just treat this Qingfeng Palace as your boudoir and embroidery courtyard. If you want anything, just ask the mourning family and the emperor to open your mouth.

Shangguan Wanyan had to smile silently when she heard the words. She sighed in her heart, but no one could give what she wanted most. It's just that these words are not easy to say. After a while, he replied, "It's so good. I'm just going to bother the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I'm sorry."

"What is this? Your child, now that you have become a mother, is shy everywhere. I told you that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is here to serve the master, isn't it? My family will definitely explain this matter in person and let someone handle it for you.

The two gossiped again. The Empress Dowager got up and led people back to the palace because she was thinking about the condition of the fifth princess.

Shangguan Wan sent her out and stood at the gate of the hall for a while. Then she felt the cold wind blowing, making the corners of her clothes and skirts fly.

Seeing that she looked gloomy and indescribably lonely, the maid Shuangluan held a real red satin cloak and whispered beside her, "Miss, if you are not happy, you can say it, even if you beat and scold us, don't be bored in your heart. If you turn back and suffocate your body, the slaves will be guilty.

Shangguan Wan looked at her and said in a low voice, "There is nothing unhappy about me. Don't talk nonsense."

"The maidservant didn't talk nonsense, miss, you look at your current appearance--" Shuangluan wanted to say more, but he saw several people coming from afar, led by Liu Shan, so he hurriedly said, "Miss, it was the emperor who sent Eunuch Liu to send things."

Shangguan Wan didn't look at Liu Shan, so she turned her head and said, "Whatever he sends, just accept it and put it in the warehouse. There is no need to go back and forth to this palace, let alone talk to him.

"Miss, isn't this too good? You..."

When Shuangluan wanted to say something more, Shangguan Wanyu had turned back to his bedroom. Liu San came here with someone. Seeing this again, he had to smile on his face and said, "Miss Shuangluan, is the imperial concubine tired of talking to the empress dowager?"

Shuangluan nodded quickly and said, "Yes, the Empress Dowager said to the Empress Dowager in the bedroom for a long time, just in time for you to come here at this time. I'm really sorry."

"Where, Miss Shuangluan, these are all the things that the emperor asked me to send to the Empress. The booklet is here. Please take it for the Empress!"

"Okay, please rest assured, Grandpa Liu, I will definitely hand over the book to the Empress later."

After saying that, Shuangluan was about to turn around and leave, but he heard Liu Jian stop her behind her and say, " By the way, dare you ask the girl, how is your mother's mood today?"

"General Manager Liu, please rest assured that the Empress has calmed down a lot today. It's just..."

Shuangluan said here, and Liu San quickly grabbed her. After repeatedly signaling, he quickly pulled her to a secluded place. After whispering, Shuangluan looked around and quietly moved into the inner hall.

This scene happened to be seen by Shangguan Wanxuan, who had been hiding behind the curtain. She opened her eyes tiredly, and there were crystal tears slowly coming out from the corners of her eyes. After a while, he shook his head and whispered, "Junyu, it turns out that I have never seen you clearly. Ha ha, well, since you did this to me, I really gave up.

It turned out that the emperor's eyes and ears were placed beside him. Then there is no need to ask, fathers and brothers in the army will naturally not live a better life. With his father's keen mind, he will never know anything about it, so how old man should he live like walking on thin ice now?

Shangguan Wanxuan only felt a headache, and her heart was more deeply guilty and regretful. Now she only hopes that her father can turn bad luck into good luck, hoping that everything will be a mistake and finally return safely. As long as this is the case, it is worthwhile to suffer more.

After Shuangluan came in, he didn't hear anything for a long time. Seeing Shangguan Wan sitting on the couch and did not move, he whispered, "Mother? Are you sleepy?"

"Hmm?" Shangguan Wan came back when she heard her voice and smiled in a trance, "Exactly, this charcoal fire makes people dizzy. It happens to be a lunch break. Let's all lie down quietly for a while."

Shuangluan came to help her, put a pillow for her, and smiled gently, "Well, the maidservant will call the Empress up later."

Besides, after saying goodbye to Jiang Jiantao, Jun Yuchen took Zichu and Mingyan along the downhill path to the mountain. Zichu originally thought that the blocked Chisheng Mountain had already been difficult to fly, and he was thinking about how to get out. Unexpectedly, Jun Yuchen had already arranged for his own people to hire a carriage to park on the roadside. When he saw the coachman salute him, Zichu looked at Jun Yuchen with a stunned face. Jun Yuchen smiled at her very proudly and raised his eyebrows, "How's it going? Your father-in-law is still a little good, right? He is nothing. Even in his territory, I can still swagger and retreat with you.

Zi Chu said a few words to him, and it was also very difficult to think about it. Then he nodded and said, "Well, this time it's a good thing to do. I'll reward you later."
