Amnesty the world... Is he accumulating virtue for this child? Or...for himself?

With his hands resting on his lower abdomen, he seemed to be able to feel the little life inside.

I smiled gently, picked up the medicine bowl next to me, raised my head and drank it.

Yes, the good medicine is bitter.

Hui Ju smiled so much that he took the empty bowl and offered honey water. I drank slowly to clear the bitterness in my mouth.

Hui Ju suddenly said, "Manny, is this bellyband embroidered a bit bigger?"

I looked up, her hand was yellowish, and I shook my head: "It's not big, it should be."

Hui Ju looked at me unclearly, "Manny?"

With a smile, I stretched out my hand and took the bellyband, looking at the warm yellow color on it, the hibiscus still has the last petal unembroidered. I picked up the needle and thread at random, squinted slightly, and went down. I slowly said, "This is for Linglong."

Hui Ju seemed to be taken aback. I ignored her, watching the silk thread in my hand intently, and walking lightly, Hui Ju hesitated for a long time as if she had something to say.

I tilted my head: "What's the matter?"

"Niang Niang, the little princess has been taken home by Concubine Liu." Hui Ju said slowly.

I nodded: "I know. It's her child after all. I can't justify it unless I pick it up."

She sneered in her heart. Concubine Liu's move was probably to please the Queen Mother.

Hui Ju rubbed his hands lightly, his expression was very hesitant, his mouth trembled, there seemed to be something in his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak.

My heart was suddenly flustered. Putting down the things in my hands, I looked at Hui Ju, and said in an involuntary trembling voice: "But what happened?"

"Niang, it's okay." Hui Ju's face was slightly pale, but she said to me with a strong smile.

I was surprised, she must have something wrong with this.

"Say." I straightened up, looking at Hui Ju with oppression in my eyes.

Hui Ju didn't dare to look at me, her eyes swept around: "Niang, it's really nothing."

"Don't tell me?" I increased the harshness in my tone, looked at Hui Ju, and suddenly lifted the quilt to get out of bed.

"Niangniang, you are..." Hui Ju hurriedly stepped forward: "Niangniang, you are not in good health. You can't get out of bed."

I have gotten out of the bed with a pair of legs, Hui Ju lightly pressed my shoulders, and I sat on the edge of the bed, wearing only a single coat, a little bit cold.

I stared at her closely: "You look like this, if you say that everything is normal, you can only treat this palace as a fool. Forget it, don't say it, then this palace can only figure it out by yourself."

"Niang Niang," Hui Ju knelt in front of me "pomply": "Niang Niang, the slave and maid made a mistake. However, the emperor has ordered that I won't let you tell you."

My heart is tense, could it be possible that Linglong could not achieve anything.

"If you accidentally revealed it, please tell this palace." I said lightly, and my eyes fell on a cloisonne hairpin on Hui Ju's head: "Get up and say."

The wind mixed with crushed sand and stones hit the window lattice, making a small impact. The bright sky before was darkened at this time, indicating that a heavy rain was coming.

I was already sitting on a mahogany armchair next to the bed, covered with a thin blanket of cashmere, which was thin but very warm. Standing in front of me, Hui Ju hung her head deeply, wringing her hands involuntarily, wanting to say nothing, making my worry even stronger. I also felt slight discomfort in my body, and there were faint pains in my lower abdomen. I didn't care about it, I just wanted to know what happened to Linglong.

"Niang Niang," after a wisp of incense smoke passed over Hui Ju's face, she finally calmed her expression, looked up at me and said, "Niang, the little princess was caught in the wind and cold a few days ago, and the high fever has not stopped. The imperial doctor was called in time, and it was later discovered, but it was difficult to cure."

My heart trembled, and my hand gripped the blanket on my body tightly. The hibiscus pattern embroidered on the silk was tangled together.

Wind and cold, high fever, how could Concubine Liu not notice in time. Her daughter, in her palace, where did the crowds of eunuchs and maids go, and where did the maid who took care of Linglong?

I was indignant and excited: "The princess is ill, and the emperor will definitely pursue it. What explanation does Concubine Liu give?"

I looked at Hui Ju, and Hui Ju bit her lip and said, "The Empress Liu said, she went to Mingjingtang to pray for you, her health was not good, and most of the attendants in Zhaoyang Palace followed. Therefore, the little princess caught the wind chill when the person looking after Linglong was negligent."

I couldn't help but sneer, and that smile made my heart cold. Pray for me, for this reason... I shook my head helplessly, but infinite hatred filled my heart. Linglong, although she is not my child, she has been by my side since she was born. I never mind that she is the daughter of Concubine Liu.

I only know that she is cute and cute, and I can still feel the warmth from the bottom of my heart that holds her in my arms. My Kunning Palace still has a place for her, but there is no place to settle in her own mother.

I closed my eyes. It must have been cold in Zhaoyang Palace that day, Linglong was placed in a small cradle, and she should be surrounded by unattended court ladies. The wind passed by, she should be crying loudly, and that little face should be flushed and hot. However, no one paid attention to her.

Concubine Liu, praying for me in the so-called Mingjingtang, is it true? My heart tightened in bursts, and every bit was accompanied by pain.

"What about now?" I could hear my voice trembling, which was a tremor after being strongly suppressed.

I know that as long as my hand is released, my emotions will be as uncontrollable as the windy sky outside.

Linglong, Concubine Liu...

"The little princess was sent to the Yijin Pavilion, and the emperor ordered the hospital to treat the little princess with all his strength."

My heart suddenly loosened, and with Shen Xiyao's golden mouth, those imperial doctors must not dare not give up.

"How does Concubine Liu say?" I let go of my hand slightly, looked at Huiju and asked, "Why doesn't she let Linglong be treated in Zhaoyang Palace?"

"Concubine Liu..." Huiju hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Concubine Liu suffered some cold in the Mingjingtang that day, and was afraid of giving it to the little princess, so..."

She looked around and lowered her voice again: "But the slave servant heard that Concubine Liu wanted to use the little princess and her own illness to distract the emperor from you."

I smiled coldly, scattered?

If her Liu Ruxu is really smart, she should take care of Linglong. Although Linglong is a princess, she is the first heir of Daxi, which is of great significance. No matter whether I gave birth to a princess or a prince, they are all prostitutes and prostitutes. From now on, no one's children will be able to reach it. Only the eldest daughter of the emperor will have some weight.

"Who is there to take care of?" I thought about it and asked.

If Concubine Liu really wants to make a fuss about Linglong's disease, she will definitely not get better soon. It's just that how can such a small child endure the torment of illness. If there are reliable people in the Yijin Pavilion, I can also get some news as soon as possible, and then transfer from there.

"It's Fei Ran next to Concubine Liu." Hui Ju said quietly.

I was shocked and looked at her suddenly: "Why isn't Zhilan? Hasn't she been taking care of Linglong all the time?"

Hui Ju didn't answer, just pursed her mouth, and finally said slowly: "Niangniang, these are things that happened before I went to the island with Niangniang. The other things were all told by the eunuchs of the House of Internal Affairs who gave them food. As for why Zhilan didn’t follow the princess, the servant girl boldly thought that Empress Liu would not let our people follow the princess.”

I nodded and smiled at her: "I am also worried about Linglong's excesses and embarrass you."

She hurriedly shook her head: "This is what the empress said, but she's going to break her slaves."

I waved my hand, and took a heavy gold wire ruby ​​begonia flower from the sideburns and handed it to her: "This is for you."

Hui Ju shook his head repeatedly: "Manny, the servants can't take them."

I put the gem flower in her hand: "It's not for anything." My eyes fell on the blue sky outside the window: "It's just that you have experienced so much, I am afraid that you have not experienced less than this palace. You also know , Haoyue has become a beauty, and there is no one beside me who can rest assured. Except you."

"This is the glory of the servant." Huiju fell on the ground.

I shook my head: "No, you don't understand the meaning of this palace."

I picked up a cup of herbal tea on the table and drank slowly: "Why is this palace resting on the Yaotai of Pengdao, but it is not the Queen’s Kunning Palace. Why did this palace enter the palace? I think you all have heard of Yes. Now that the father of this palace has passed away, the emperor’s love for this palace, this palace cannot guarantee that it will be the same."
