However, before Luyin and Luxin could remind Dong Liang, Dong Liang had already received a report about the queen.
The person who made the report was of course Ge Zhongpeng.
"The Queen took the initiative to go to Emperor Xuan Jing's bedroom, and not once or twice?" Dong Liang's face darkened when he heard the news. Although he said that he regarded Queen Meng as his sister-in-law, he was probably just saying it on the scene. In fact, it was not at all I don't care about the life or death of the queen, but this is Gongsun Xi's person after all, and he personally designed the two to have an affair, but now he takes the initiative to sleep with Emperor Xuanjing... In Dong Liang, a pirate who was used to being arrogant It seems that he is betraying Gongsun Xi and cuckolding Gongsun Xi.
There is a difference between closeness and distance. If Gongsun Xi was looking for a woman behind Queen Meng's back, Dong Liang would be happy to help him cover it up and would not feel that he had failed the Queen.
But if it were the queen who went to find Emperor Xuan Jing, Dong Liang would be angry even though the queen and Emperor Xuan Jing were a serious couple.
Not only was she angry, but she was also worried that since the queen was trying to compete for her favor, the five confidants he had assigned to her to serve as Zhenghou's disciples would all end badly.
Even though he seems to be safe now, he is already being watched for no reason.
Even if the traces of the place where the queen was temporarily placed had been cleared away, it might be better to avoid being caught by Meng Guiyu...
Dong Liang's thoughts turned and his expression became more and more ugly. Fortunately, Ge Zhongpeng, who had been in the palace for a long time, saw the problem and asked the envoy to remind him: "Because Shu Zhaoyi is not young anymore and has never been pregnant before. This unexpected good news has ignited the ambition of the concubines to have a son. These days, the concubines can be said to be scrambling to sleep with His Majesty, hoping to give birth to a son and a half daughters as support in the future. And the Queen is still young. , even if I don’t have such thoughts, the Queen Mother may not not consider it for her and facilitate this matter."
"As a queen, it would be too suspicious to refuse to serve His Majesty!"
"So based on this alone, it is not certain that the Queen's mind has changed."
Dong Liang calmed down a little after hearing this. He didn't want the messenger to say again, "Actually, what the eunuch is most worried about is not that the empress has changed her mind and decided to continue to be the master of the middle palace! Because of your previous design, the empress If there is a clue in our hands, it is still a fatal clue! Even if the Queen Mother is the Queen's biological aunt and loves the Queen very much, if she knows the relationship between the Queen and Xi Xiaowei, for the sake of the royal reputation, it is impossible for the Queen to continue Sitting in the back seat... After all, if you kiss your niece, how can you kiss your son?!"
"The queen doesn't want to live a happy life. No, strictly speaking, she doesn't care about her reputation being ruined. She will never get into trouble with us to the point of death. Therefore, the safety of Xianyin and others can be guaranteed for the time being!"
"What the eunuch is most worried about is that the Queen secretly summoned the imperial physician a few days ago!"
"That imperial doctor is a confidant of Marquis Chongxin!"
"Famous for being good at women and babies!"
"Although the queen is a woman, it is not surprising to find a doctor who specializes in women and infants to take care of her body."
"But Ge Neijian remembered that this empress had already come to ask for Ping'an's pulse, so she sent the palace servants to the imperial hospital to invite any imperial doctor to see... As long as they are not Shu sisters!"
"After noticing something strange in the Queen's behavior this time, Inspector Ge specially asked someone to go to the Taiyuan Hospital to inquire. He heard that the Queen had been in remission for several days this month and did not ask for Ping'an pulse. The Taiyuan Hospital even asked for instructions once. , however, the people at Wangchun Palace only said that the Queen was in a bad mood recently and did not want to see outsiders, so they were asked to wait for a few days... "
The messenger's voice lowered, "Ge Naijian bribed several envoys from the Wangchun Palace. Most of the Queen's clothes, the outer clothes are handed over to the clothing bureau, and the inner clothes are washed by the personal palace maids. However, there are many people in the Wangchun Palace. But as long as you serve a queen, someone will inevitably take the initiative to offer courtesy and help dry the clothes after the confidant maid has finished washing... But recently, for less than half a month, some rough messengers have come forward to help as usual, but they have been rejected. "
"Therefore, Ge Naijian suspected that...the reason why the Queen went to Emperor Xuanjing's palace was not necessarily because she had changed her mind and wanted to return to her noble status in the world, but because...she had the blood of Lieutenant Xixiao and wanted to frame Emperor Xuanjing's fault. On the head, the placement and delivery went smoothly!"
"After all, the queen is not a fool. She should know the current situation. Even if she gives birth to a real heir, she will not escape the fate of a puppet!"
"The best outcome for the two of us in the future is to live in seclusion in a secluded courtyard for the rest of our lives!"
"Where can I compare to being on the line with Colonel Xi, where a young couple can have children and be happy?"
Dong Liang's face turned pale as he listened: "The Queen is actually going to be happy?! I clearly asked someone to prepare the Bizi Soup for her!!!"
The messenger asked: "Did you see her drink it with your own eyes?"
"... After all, she was going to be used at that time. The design of her and A Xi has already offended her and A Xi, so how could she openly let her drink Bizi Soup again?" Dong Liang hesitated for a moment and said helplessly, "Just If you can pretend to be considerate, ask the maid to say it is a nourishing decoction and send it over."
And since it is a tonic, of course it is impossible to stare at the queen and force her to drink it.
In that case, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling the queen that there is something wrong with the soup
However, "according to the maid who sent her there, the queen had no suspicion at all. She drank more than half of the bowl in front of her, and only a little bit was left in the end, so she didn't drink it because she thought it was bitter. After that, I went to ask the brothel madam. , The madam said that if you take more than half a bowl, it’s almost enough.”
His expression became sinister, "I didn't want something like this to happen again!!!"
The envoy was also a chamberlain in the palace, so he was well-informed and said comfortingly: "The avoidance soup is not always effective. After His Majesty visited the concubines in the palace, sometimes he ordered not to keep them, or high-ranking concubines competed for favors. There are cases of giving decoctions to low-level concubines, and even getting pregnant even after drinking Bizi decoction... Now that the matter has come to this, what Ge Naijian wants to do is to ask you what your attitude is? Because after all, he is Xi Xiaowei. of flesh and blood.”
"Axi is still young, are you still afraid that you have no bones and blood?" Dong Liang frowned, thought for a while, and then slowly said, "We can't keep this child! Axi grew up with the prince, and his status in the heart of the prince is What’s special is that Prince Jiraiya is more interested in him than others! So far, the Princess has been able to steadily outdo him. Others, even those with seniority like Brother Lianshan, have to weigh things up a bit!"
"If his bones and blood fall into the hands of Meng Guiyu and his ilk, even if Ah Xi realizes the truth by then, the prince will feel sorry for him."
"It's just a fetus that hasn't formed yet. You know it will cause trouble in the future, why do you still keep it for the New Year?"
A ruthless look flashed in his eyes, "Please, Inspector Ge Nai, try to abort this child. You must not let the queen be born!"
The envoy nodded, and was not surprised that he took the decision without asking Gongsun Xi: "Ge Naijian actually meant the same thing, but the matter is serious and it is difficult to make the decision without your approval."
He pondered for a moment and said, "But what Ge Naijian means is that the Queen is still useful to us now. Even if she is not, we must prevent her from betraying our people! Therefore, this matter must be done, but it cannot be Let the queen think that it is our work!"
Dong Liang said: "Eunuch Ge is better at matters in the palace than us, so let him make the decision!"
Knowing Ge Zhongpeng's worries, he said with emotion, "If Ah Xi or the king of the county pursues this matter in the future, I will bear the responsibility!"
After the messenger received this promise, he left with satisfaction.
After returning to the palace, I told Ge Zhongpeng about the meeting. Ge Zhongpeng thought for a moment and said, "Manager Dong didn't mention that he would escort the queen out?"
The messenger shook his head and said: "I see that Manager Dong doesn't really care about the Queen. He even wants to let the Queen fend for herself in the palace."
"He is thinking about us." Ge Zhongpeng said, "The prince is young. Even if he has been planning for Chang'an since he was a teenager, where is the inner forbidden area so easy to reach? So he is hiding in the palace now. It's just us. After all, Gongsun Su was his sworn brother who saved his life, or the old owner of Wuyi Camp where he started. He was too emotional and rational to ignore. But what did the Queen want? A lot of estrangement, and she is still the daughter of the Meng family... If we are exposed in order to reunite her with Gongsun Xi, not to mention whether the county king is willing, Director Dong, who expects that one person can achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven, will not agree!"
"It's also true that the Empress is young and easy to deceive." The envoy smiled, "Otherwise, we should have known from the beginning that Manager Dong's promises were all deceptive... Not to mention the Imperial City, that is, Shanglin Garden, unless it was in times of war and chaos like before. Otherwise, how could it be possible to come in and out as soon as you say it? Especially for someone with such a distinguished status as her! It would be a dream to have a group of people following you wherever you go, trying to leave quietly!"
"This young woman who is in love with you, no matter whether she is of noble status or not, is the same when she gets dizzy." Ge Zhongpeng muttered, "Throughout the ages, there have been many people who have been let down by their love. There are not many queens, and there are not many queens." … That’s all, people like us have nothing to complain about these lawsuits. Well, let’s think of a way to make the Queen have a miscarriage without us being blamed?”
... Empress Meng didn't know that both Dong Liang and Ge Zhongpeng wanted her to have a miscarriage, but now she was still looking forward to getting Dong Liang's help to give birth safely and smoothly.
After she explained the situation to Lu Yin and Lu Xin, she released the person.
It's just that they were not asked to serve closely.
Of course, this was because she was afraid that the two palace maids would continue to plot against her pregnancy.
However, there is a reasonable reason, that is, if Luyin and Luixin have been her personal maids, it will be difficult to escape now, and their every move will attract attention. It would be better to take this opportunity to pretend to be a master and servant in front of Meng Guiyu, and change to a leisurely and inconspicuous job so that they can report the news privately.
After hearing this, Xuyin and Luixin also knew what the queen was thinking. After the queen suddenly ordered the soldiers to capture them, they also knew that the queen was not as gentle as she seemed, and had truly gone against her will. It is also very quick to turn around.
And even if the two of them know some fists and kicks, how can they get the identity of the Lord of the Sixth Palace in this deep palace
So no matter what I thought in my heart when I heard this, my face was all in agreement.
Of course, in the letter he sent back to Dong Liang, he added a lot of details, and even suggested that Dong Liang give up on them directly to avoid being followed by Meng Guiyu.
In fact, at this time, Meng Guiyu not only did not suspect the identity of Luyin and Luxin, but even if he did, he would not care.
Because the Northern Xinjiang Army failed to defend Xiazhou, the news of Xiazhou's fall came immediately after the death of Qi Jianxun, Minister of War.
This man died on the road not far from Xiazhou. The cause of death was believed to be due to being robbed.
In fact, this possibility is not impossible. After all, since Meng Boqin led Ruru south, the people along the way have all fled, and the gangsters have also taken advantage of the situation to rob. Qi Jianxun took a few followers with him and went north against the crowd. He was a senior official with many years of experience, even if Even if you travel incognito and dress up in disguise, you still have the aura of a wealthy family.
Maybe he showed his rich deeds somewhere and was noticed by others
But his death at this time makes it difficult not to doubt Rong Suihe.
