After Zhai Shihua listened to the conversation of the Ershan people in the Ninghui Hall, doubts arose in his heart.
Although she has no enmity with Rong Liangdi of the East Palace, but like all the ladies in Beijing, she more or less likes to talk about various anecdotes about Beppu with her family.
Not to mention, this Rong Liangdi is her sister Zhai Shiyin's rival in love.
Zhai Shihua would pay more attention to her affairs.
Sure enough, after Zhai Shihua returned to Shangshu Mansion from Yongxi Palace, he brought up this matter with Mrs. Zhai.
Zhai Shiyin also happened to be present that day, her younger sister has become more and more proud recently, Mrs. Zhai loves her a lot more than before, and so does her father Zhai Zhuozi.
In order to avoid suspicion, she has not been out of the Minister's Mansion for many days. She honestly reads books and teases cats at the mansion, living a very ordinary life.
Zhai Shiyin held a snow-white long-haired cat in her arms, and she ran her slender hands along its soft fur while listening to the anecdotes about the palace mentioned by Zhai Shihua and Mrs. Zhai.
When he heard that Rong Xi was unwell, Zhai Shiyin stopped petting the cat.
The cat in his arms was also unintentionally pulled by Zhai Shiyin's fur. It whined in pain and meowed.
Zhai Shiyin frowned, and put the cat on the ground. The white cat immediately landed on its four paws, and quickly escaped from the place.
Mrs. Zhai and Zhai Shihua heard this movement, stopped talking, and shifted their eyes to Zhai Shiyin.
At this time, Zhai Shiyin's voice was a little anxious, and he asked: "Then Rong Liangdi's body really became ill because of witchcraft?"
Zhai Shihua pursed her lips slightly, and while fiddling with the handkerchief in her hand, she replied: "People in the palace spread it like this, but who knows if it's true or not?"
Madam Zhai showed a knowing smile on her face: "It doesn't matter if it's because of witchcraft or not, it's true that Rong Liangdi's illness is true, God is so open-eyed, evil people have evil rewards, maybe her birth will not only If you can’t keep it, 80% of you will even go in with your own life.”
Zhai Shiyin's face was thoughtful.
She was trapped in Shangshu's mansion and could not leave the mansion for half a step.
The queen ordered her to think about it, and her family would not give her any strength. Besides, that bitch Rong was well protected by the crown prince in the East Palace. No one could get close to her, let alone harm her.
Zhai Shiyin has been unable to think of a way to teach Rong Xi a lesson, but the news that Zhai Shihua brought to her today is like a sharp knife that breaks the ice, finding a breakthrough for her.
She didn't know whether or not the daughter of the Rong family had mastered the art of witchcraft, but now that she knows this method, she must make use of it.
Even if the witchcraft is useless and can't hurt the woman, she can still find a sustenance for herself, and finally she can use witchcraft to curse people and relieve the anger and resentment in her heart.
Thinking about it, Zhai Shiyin's clear and beautiful face finally revealed a smile of unknown meaning.
*****
The rainy season in Bianjing has not yet passed, and the momentum of the day is pouring, and it will last for a long time.
Accumulated rain falls along the eaves of the double eaves of the East Palace, forming a natural water curtain, and the sound of ticking can be heard endlessly.
Rong Xi stood in front of the gorgeous shadow wooden sill window, watching the falling rain silently, the emotion in her beautiful eyes was unclear, even treacherous.
Even if it was a cloudy and rainy day, the beauty was still astonishingly beautiful with snowy skin and black hair, bright red lips.
When people look at it, they feel that the surroundings are much brighter.
Dan Xiang walked to Rong Xi's side, lowered her head and said softly: "Di Liang, the prince is back."
Rong Xi nodded calmly, and his expression soon returned to his usual gentleness.
After strolling to the side hall, he saw Mu Huai's intricately remade crown was slightly soaked by the rain.
His handsome face was slightly heavy, and some fine raindrops were also soaked on his face as clean and clear as jade.
Mu Huai didn't realize that Rong Xi had come here, he was still standing beside the smoker, drying the clothes.
Rong Xi had already walked beside him, took a soft handkerchief from his sleeves, and prepared to wipe the rain stains on the man's forehead.
She stood on tiptoe, which was very strenuous because of her protruding belly.
Seeing the woman looking up at him with concern, her movements were careful and gentle, Mu Huai's heart softened suddenly.
He held her soft and slender hand instead, and snatched the handkerchief into his hand.
After wiping her face casually, she helped the delicate and delicate Xiao Liang Di to the Arhat bed.
Rong Xi stroked her waist with difficulty, and after sitting down carefully, she remembered an incident that was passed on by the palace people yesterday.
The palace officials said that the accumulated rain was continuous, and because the royal tomb had not been renovated for a long time, the tomb of Empress Yuzhen collapsed due to the erosion of rainwater.
After Emperor Zhuang heard this, he ordered the people in the Ministry of Rites to remove the coffin of the first empress from the landslide and temporarily put it in the mausoleum of the other concubines.
He thought about waiting for the endless rainy weather to pass before ordering people to repair the mausoleum of the late empress.
Speaking of which, Empress Yuzhen was conferred posthumously only after her death, and she was only a noble concubine during her lifetime.
When Emperor Cheng was alive, there was a queen, and the one buried with Emperor Cheng was his wife, whom he only respected but not loved, but not his beloved Empress Yuzhen.
The maid brought the hot tea to dispel the cold, and Mu Huai took a sip with a calm expression.
After thinking about it, Rong Xi felt that this matter was really strange.
How come it's so good, something went wrong again in the tomb of Empress Yuzhen
It's just that when something went wrong this time, the royal family treated the current minister of Taichang Temple of the Ministry of Rites very lightly.
After all, it was God who wanted to rain, so this could be regarded as an accident.
Mu Huai put the teacup back on the small case, and while studying the woman's thoughtful expression, asked in a low voice: "You have always had a poor appetite these days, and you should be able to get fatter again this month."
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and pinched the soft face of the woman.
However, I feel that the touch today is not as good as before.
Rong Xi caressed the place that Mu Huai pinched, but saw that Mu Huai's eyebrows and eyes were a little bit chilly.
His tone was a little helpless, and he asked again: "What should I do with you, the food in this palace is not to your liking."
Rong Xi moved her hand to her chubby belly, her eyebrows drooping slightly.
Mu Huai couldn't see her expression clearly, so he also lowered his head, searching for her eyes.
Rong Xi said at this time: "Actually, I have always wanted to eat the two cold licorice soup and ginger and orange peel soup that my wife ordered from Fanlou at General Yin's mansion that day."
Mu Huai couldn't help smiling after hearing this.
Delicate women just like these sweet and greasy foods.
He said: "Why didn't you talk about it so early? Then I will call someone to the honey frying bureau to make it for you."
Just as Mu Huai was about to raise his voice to call for his servants to run errands, Rong Xi said at this moment: "Husband, although the food in the palace is the most exquisite and best, it doesn't have the flavor of the folk... What I miss is Fanlou's." That taste...can't be made in the palace. I want Danxiang to go out of the palace to buy, can you give her a token?"
Although Rong Xi's voice was not loud, the servants in the palace could hear it clearly.
But she felt that Rong Liangdi's request was not too much.
But since the prince has already said, let the people from the honey frying bureau make sugar water.
He has a strong temperament and his tone has always been unquestionable. This matter is a certainty.
But Di Rongliang actually refuted the Prince's order and asked Dan Xiang to go out of the palace to buy something for the sake of a few mouthfuls of food.
The servants moved slightly, for fear that the prince would be angry and would reprimand Liangdi.
But who would have thought that the crown prince just said indifferently: "Eating outside the palace is not clean, I am only used to you this time. After a while, think about what else you want to eat, give Dan Xiang some money, let her buy all the recipes, From now on, it will be made in the small kitchen of the East Palace."
After finishing speaking, he pinched Liang Di's nose again, although his tone was pretending to be low, but clear and indulgent, he said: "What a glutton."
Rong Xi found an excuse, and said softly, "It's not that I'm greedy, it's that the baby in my stomach wants to eat."
Seeing the woman's light brown eyes, there was a bit of cunning.
Like a little fox.
Mu Huai shook his head, and said in a low voice full of helplessness, "The sharper your teeth are, the more you've been spoiled."
Having said that, he pressed the tip of her nose against the tip of her nose and rubbed lightly.
He didn't expect that pampering a woman could actually make him feel better.
Mu Huai finally understood a little bit, what kind of mentality those princes of Fenghuo Opera had in order to win the smile of the confidant.
The existence of disaster water is to make men lose their minds.
Listening to the conversation between the crown prince and Emperor Liang, the palace servants who were standing on the side suddenly had the feeling that they were looking at a tyrant and a confidante who would harm the country.
But although the Eastern Palace Prince in front of him has a violent temper, he is a diligent and strict good prince.
Although Rong Liangdi's appearance is too charming, her reputation outside is also arrogance.
But during the past few months of getting along, they also knew that Rong Liangdi treated his servants kindly, and also devoted herself to helping the prince with the trivial matters in the East Palace.
It is by no means a real villain and beauty.
After Dan Xiang obtained the token in Mu Huai's hand, after the rain stopped a little the next day, it was convenient for her to leave the Xuanhua Gate when the palace gate was unlocked in the early morning.
Of course, her main purpose of going out of the palace this time was not to go to Fan Lou to buy Rong Xi some sugar water.
It turned out that Rong Xi had calculated everything a few days ago.
She had always wanted to find a reason to ask Mu Huai for a token to leave the palace, so that Danxiang could leave Yongxi Palace and investigate something for her.
Dan Xiang pretended to be the most ordinary girl, and hired a carriage when she left the palace, but she didn't go to Fanlou in Yujie, she ordered the coachman, and ran directly to Zhai's mansion.
After the carriage arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, Dan Xiang deliberately pretended to be a passing commoner, and observed from the outside of the Shangshu Mansion's wall.
However, he felt that although the design of the main entrance of the Zhai Mansion had the grandeur of a noble family, from the outside, the interior decoration should not be luxurious.
Zhai Zhuo, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, had a good reputation before Zhai Shiyin's accident.
He usually keeps a low profile, and the Zhai family has a queen again. In Bianjing for the past few years, the Zhai family is a very popular noble family.
Dan Xiang secretly felt that there should be no way out from the gate of Zhai's house, so she walked around to the back of Zhai's mansion.
Seeing a quiet green bamboo forest not far from the back door of Zhai's mansion, he found a remote place to hide.
After waiting for less than an hour, Dan Xiang saw a middle-aged man in a green robe and Confucian shirt with a whisk in his hand, knocking on the back door of Zhai's mansion.
Dan Xiang immediately lifted her spirits, looked at the man without blinking, and felt that his attire did not look like a Taoist monk, but a quack warlock.
The servant girl of Zhai Mansion shouted: "Here we come!"
The middle-aged man dressed as a sorcerer also looked around suspiciously, and when he realized that there were no outsiders around, he followed the maid into the mansion.
Dan Xiang saw the warlock's face clearly, and saw a bean-sized mole between his brows.
She remembered the warlock's appearance again in her mind, but she still didn't leave the bamboo forest.
When it was dark, the warlock with a mole on the center of his brow came out from the back door of Zhai's mansion. When he came out, he weighed the heavy brocade bag in his hand with a happy face.
Any fool can tell that this brocade bag must be full of money.
After the warlock walked away, Dan Xiang followed him and found his residence, which was in an alley on Ma Xing Street.
When Dan Xiang saw that there was a fortune-telling booth set up in front of that alley, she couldn't help feeling contemptuous in her heart.
What an expert, it turned out to be a charlatan.
Seeing that it was getting late, Dan Xiang didn't want to delay any longer, so she immediately hired a car and horse to go to Fanlou to buy some sugar water that Rong Xi told her, so she could go back and report to her.
After returning to the palace, Dan Xiang put the licorice cold soup and other food on the food table one by one.
Rong Xi casually picked up the bowl, her eyelashes drooping slightly, and she absently stirred the soup with a porcelain spoon.
Seeing that there was no one around, Dan Xiangfang clung to her ear, and in a very low voice, told her everything she saw in Zhai Mansion today.
After Rong Xi listened, a sincere smile gradually appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.
She and Zhai Shiyin are facing the same situation now.
Both of them are actually trapped animals.
She was trapped in the East Palace, while Zhai Shiyin was trapped in the Shangshu Mansion.
Sure enough, the woman couldn't bear her temper, and she still used this despicable method to curse her unborn child.
Dan Xiang came back today, but she admired Rong Xi's ability to calculate people's hearts even more.
That day in the Ninghui Palace, the conversation between the two hostesses was secretly arranged by Rong Liangdi, she had inquired about Zhai Shihua's movements early in the morning, and only waited for her to come, so that the hostess could speak intentionally On that speech.
And this Miss Zhai's family really caught the trick, and she talked about it with her family after returning home.
Dan Xiang didn't know what Rong Xi was going to do next, but she heard her order again in a sweet voice: "Go to Ninghui Hall, and bring me a basket of pigeons, I'm going to roast for Your Highness myself today, and cook it for me." Supper."
Dan Xiang was taken aback, she didn't expect Rong Xi to order her to find the pigeons, but she still respectfully said: "Your servant will go right away."
Rong Xi softly called her who was about to leave, and said: "Dan Xiang, after taking the pigeons, prepare another porcelain bottle. I want to get some pigeon blood."
Seeing that Dan Xiang was puzzled, she said again: "Since you have done so many things for me, you should understand what I want to do?"
Dan Xiang's heart skipped a beat, thinking carefully about Rong Xi's calculation step by step, and hearing her mention pigeon blood, she suddenly realized.
Her hands trembled suddenly.
Dan Xiang couldn't understand, since the eldest lady of the Zhai family had no chance to marry the prince, why did Rong Liangdi make so many calculations, and put Zhai Shiyin to death at the expense of herself
Besides, if the matter is revealed, she will not only lose the prince's favor, but even risk her life.
Dan Xiang knelt down on the ground suddenly, her shoulders trembled.
Rong Xi's voice was very gentle, and she said to her softly: "If you are afraid, I will not force you. However, I will not keep you as my palace maid again. In the future, you will find your own way out, and I will not Protect you again."
Dan Xiang is a smart person, so she can hear the implication of Rong Xi's words. She and Rong Xi are already grasshoppers on the same rope.
If she does not participate in this conspiracy with Rong Liangdi, even if Rong Xi will not kill her, she will have no good way to go in the future.
Moreover, she has been in Yongxi Palace for so many years, and it is rare for her to meet a good master who is willing to appreciate her. If she looks for it in the future, she may never have the chance to sit in today's position.
Dan Xiang pressed her forehead to the ground, although her voice trembled slightly, her tone was very firm: "... Numaid... Numaid is willing to do things for Concubine Liang, even if it's heartbreaking, I will do it without hesitation."
Rong Xi smiled lightly, took a sip of the sweet and greasy soup, and said softly: "Get up, go and bring the pigeon, and you can also use some of the sugar water on the table when you come back."
In a short time, Dan Xiang brought a cage of cooing squabs. Those pigeons flapped their wings and were fattened up by the caterers of the Shangshi Bureau.
After the cage of pigeons was sent to the small kitchen of the East Palace, the cook and the thick maids inside got very excited when they heard that Rong Liangdi was coming to cook for herself.
Rong Liangdi has a beautiful appearance and a kind tone to them, this time she came here, she even ordered Dan Xiang to give them a reward.
During the few months that Rong Xi had been in the East Palace as Liangdi, she had always wanted to win over all the servants before Zhengfei Mu Huai entered the palace.
This is an opportunity she can take advantage of, and it cannot be wasted.
The palace people in the small kitchen were all smiling, but when they saw the big palace lady next to Rong Xi carrying a cage of live pigeons, they knew that Rong Liangdi should use the pigeons for cooking today.
After Rong Xi entered the room, Dan Xiang closed the door without waiting for the cook to speak, and said, "Liang Di doesn't like to be disturbed when cooking, so it's enough for me to help the cook."
Before the chef could say that he wanted to help Rong Xi slaughter the pigeons first, Dan Xiang stopped everyone outside.
One more thing is worse than one less thing, and it won't be too late to go in when Di Liang needs to call them.
The palace servants in the small kitchen weighed the rewards and left happily.
Speaking of which, during her pregnancy, Yu Zhaorong liked to eat this dish of crispy roasted squab the most. There is a small kitchen in Fuqu Palace, but the palace people there can't handle this dish well.
Yu Zhaorong only likes the pigeon made by Rong Xi.
Rong Xi recalled the past, handed the dagger to Dan Xiang, and asked, "Can you kill pigeons?"
Dan Xiang hesitated for a moment, took the dagger, but looked at the fluttering pigeons in the cage, and finally closed her eyes, not daring to strike at all.
Rong Xi smiled softly, a slight dimple appeared on her stunning face, her voice was still sweet and soft, but what she said was so cruel that Dan Xiang was shocked—
"Forget it, if you don't dare, I'll kill you."
*****
That night Mu Huai was half lying on the bed, holding the file in his slender hands, his eyes darkened slightly.
Tomorrow at the Jiazheng Palace, Zhai Zhuo will be impeached by the censors, and the Zhai family will be allowed to sleep well tonight.
Waiting for tomorrow to meet the earth-shaking disaster.
He had already collected all the evidence, Zhai Zhuo was able to embezzle so much money from the state treasury with just a minister of rites, but in his previous life he did not investigate at all, and let Zhai Zhuo, a dog official, live a good life for so many years.
- "Husband, go to bed earlier."
The woman's sweet voice interrupted his thoughts, Mu Huai glanced sideways at the pregnant beauty on the bed, and replied in a low voice: "Okay."
As usual, he carefully embraced the woman in his arms, and fell into a light dream without time.
Rong Xi actually didn't sleep, she filled the sheep's intestines with pigeon blood early in the morning, and also drank the special decoction beforehand.
In the dark, she looked at the man's deep eyebrows.
He struggled for a moment, felt the strength of the medicine surge, finally frowned, and pierced the intestines with his nails.
Blood gushed out, and her white hair was dripping with cold sweat.
Before this, Rong Xi had made a promise with the child in her belly that if she survived the catastrophe successfully, she would never let anyone hurt it again.
It doesn't matter who the woman who enters the East Palace in the future is, as long as she doesn't hurt her own child, she will be a concubine honestly.
But if you want to hurt the child, don't blame her for being vicious.
The pain in Rong Xi's body intensified. Under her coercion, the imperial physician prescribed this special medicine for her. After the strength of the medicine, she can return to normal, but there is also a very small risk of harming the fetus.
The imperial physician asked her to make a careful decision.
Rong Xi always knew that she wanted to run away from Mu Huai because of this child.
In order to protect the child, both Ye Yunlan and Huanniang risked their lives.
Therefore, this child can't come to this world in vain, but also has to avenge the blood hatred for Huanniang and Ye Yunlan with her.
Without any hesitation, she asked the imperial physician to write a prescription.
Mu Huai didn't sleep soundly, and he smelled the bloody smell faintly in his nose. He frowned, and a woman's weak cry for help sounded in his ears.
"...husband, husband, save me."
Mu Huai opened his eyes suddenly, and felt that his lower body was slightly wet. He rarely panicked, and held the woman's sweaty face in his hands.
His voice trembled slightly, and he coaxed in a low voice: "Don't be afraid... Gu won't let anything happen to you."
After saying that, Mu Huai darkened his face and lit a candle.
Seeing that there was indeed blood on the bed, he was suffocated in his heart.
The painful memories of the previous life came one after another, and each scene stabbed him hard in the heart.
He must never let this woman leave him again.
Blue veins popped out on the side of Mu Huai's forehead, and he ordered angrily, "...Come here, Emperor Liang is ill, go find the imperial physician!"
Dan Xiang didn't sleep tonight, and when she heard the prince's furious voice, she immediately went to the Imperial Medical Bureau to find the imperial physician who had treated Rong Xi before.
The imperial doctor also made preparations early in the morning, his heartbeat was as fast as a drum.
Mu Huai clenched his fists between his eyebrows, trying to keep himself calm, but his hands couldn't stop shaking.
He was afraid that the woman would die and leave him like in her previous life.
He is really useless, he has lived a new life, but he still can't protect this woman.
The imperial physician brought two female doctors and forcefully poured a decoction for Rong Xi.
Seeing that her condition had improved slightly, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to Mu Huai in a trembling voice, "Return to Your Highness... Although Concubine Liang may have had a miscarriage, fortunately she discovered it in time and the fetus is stable." .”
Mu Huai suppressed the fear in his heart, and forced himself to ask calmly: "Why did Concubine Liang suddenly have a miscarriage?"
Dan Xiang on the side suddenly wept softly, knelt on the ground and said to Mu Huai: "...His Royal Highness, there have been rumors in the palace recently that Rong Liangdi's ill health for no reason was caused by the curse, otherwise... Otherwise, the servant feels that there is no other reason, Concubine Liang's body has always been extremely healthy before, and the imperial physician has also taken good care of her. If she hadn't been bewitched by someone, how could she have become like this?"
Dan Xiang said while wiping her tears with her sleeves.
Mu Huai clenched his fists tightly, almost crushing his finger bones.
Before, his legs were unable to walk normally because of an unknown secret Gu.
He hated witchcraft the most. He never thought that his own woman would be harmed like this because of this hateful witchcraft.
Dan Xiang raised her eyes to observe Fan Muhuai's expression, added another fire, and said in a weeping voice: "Liangdi has only offended one person in the palace, Your Highness...you must make the decision for Liangdi, this matter... probably is Miss Zhai did it..."
*****
It was night, and the prince of the East Palace and the forbidden guards rushed into Zhai's mansion at night.
This move alarmed Zhai Zhuo, who was holding his aunt and was in the ups and downs.
Zhai Zhuo listened to the servant's frightened report, and hurriedly changed his clothes to check the situation. After walking out of the aunt's courtyard, he saw Mu Huai's expression was ruthless, and he dragged Zhai Shiyin's black hair to him. .
Zhai Shiyin screamed in pain, her hand was already cut by the gravel along the way.
Zhai Zhuo was stunned.
Could all this be a nightmare
He wanted to wake up quickly, but the bloody smell in his nose told him that all this was not a dream, but a reality.
He knelt down abruptly, looked at Mu Huai and Zhai Shiyin who was dying on the ground with absent-minded eyes, and asked in a trembling voice: "Your Highness... why did you break into Weichen's house at night? Do you want to do this kind of thing to the minister's daughter? What crime did you commit?"
Mu Huai's deep black eyes were full of cruelty, under the dim light of Zhai Mansion, he looked like a Shura.
He sneered, and did not reply to his words, but ordered someone to throw the files that had been sorted out recently in front of Zhai Zhuo.
With trembling hands, Zhai Zhuo read the files one by one, but his eyes widened.
"This this… "
For so many years, he has embezzled a lot of money from the court. Zhai Zhuo originally thought that he was doing it secretly, but he didn't know that Mu Huai had been secretly investigating him.
Mu Huai said coldly: "What do you want to do? I want to raid your home and make you spit out all the money you have been greedy for these years."
Zhai Zhuo knew that Mu Huai had come prepared for what he said, and he was doomed.
But Mu Huai slowly squatted down, grabbed Zhai Shiyin's hair again, and lifted her head up.
Zhai Zhuo lost his voice and said: "...Your Highness, I am guilty, but my daughter is innocent, please spare her life..."
However, Mu Huai took Zhai Zhuo's words as deaf ears, with a bloodthirsty smile on his lips, looked cruelly at Zhai Shiyin's side face, and asked in a deep voice: "I ask you, why did you cast a curse? Rong Liangdi?"
The people brought by Mu Huai have found a puppet covered in needles in Zhai Shiyin's boudoir. The puppet has Rong Xi's name written on it, and Zhai Shiyin's poisoning is a certainty.
When Zhai Shiyin's death was imminent, there was no trace of fear in his heart.
She laughed out loud. Seeing this, Mu Huai's brows became more serious, and she replied with a smile like she was crazy: "I just want to curse her to death, why? This Gu came true so quickly, is she Didn't you have a miscarriage? See if you're in a hurry, so quickly... "
Before he finished speaking, Mu Huai pulled her hair, and slammed the woman's head against a sharp stone beside her.
"Bang -" sound.
Zhai Shiyin's forehead immediately overflowed with blood, and she grunted, but she hadn't completely died yet.
Zhai Zhuo shouted loudly: "No!"
But Mu Huai pulled Zhai Shiyin's hair again, lifted her head up, looked at her bloody face, and said sharply: "You bitch, even if you die thousands of times, you can't solve the hatred in your heart. "
Zhai Zhuo couldn't accept everything in front of him and fainted.
Seeing that Zhai Shiyin was still alive, Mu Huai lifted her head again and slammed her forehead against the sharp stone.
This time, Zhai Shiyin's beautiful face had finally become unsightly.
Although the soldiers around had blood on their hands and killed people, they had never seen such a bloody scene, and they all avoided their faces.
Zhai Shihua was also alarmed, she never expected that such an accident would happen to her home overnight.
She walked helplessly in front of Zhai Shiyin's body, crying bitterly.
Although she used to be jealous of her sister, she never wanted her to die in such a miserable way in front of her.
Mu Huai had already got up, and ordered the soldiers to search Zhai's house in an orderly manner, and also ordered Zhai Zhuo, who was fainted, to be bound, and at the same time ordered people to take good care of him and not allow him to bite his tongue and commit suicide.
Such a corrupt official should be executed at the Meridian Gate.
Let the people of Daqi watch it with their own eyes, with the prestige of Zhengtian family.
*****
The entire Zhai family was ransacked in a grand manner, and Mu Huai returned to the Queen of the East Palace wearily, and it was Yin time.
The sky is no longer black at night, but dark blue approaching morning.
Outside the East Palace, the imperial physician waited for Mu Huai's return and stood there for several hours.
Although Rong Xi had threatened him before, he was the Prince of the East Palace after all.
After thinking for a long time, the imperial physician knelt on the ground and told Mu Huai the truth that Rong Xi had faked a miscarriage.
While asking Mu Huai to punish him, he also begged him to spare his life.
Because of this, he was really in a dilemma.
Threatened by Rong Liangdi at that time, he was afraid of losing his life, so he finally lost his mind.
To the physician's surprise, the prince was only silent for a while after hearing this.
He didn't get angry, but his attitude was very calm.
Mu Huai looked indifferent, and said to the imperial physician: "Understood, this matter is not allowed to spread to the outside world, if it spreads, you should know the consequences."
After all, Mu Huai did not bring up the punishment for him, but entered the East Palace with his hands behind his back.
The imperial physician wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, wondering how Rong Liangdi would be punished by Mu Huai.
He recalled just now, after the prince left the palace, Rong Liangdi saw that he was uneasy, and finally said to him calmly: "If you are entangled, tell the prince the truth, I will not blame you."
Since she said so, she was ready to fall out of favor.
The imperial physician sighed slightly, carried the medicine box, and left the Eastern Palace with weak legs.
After Mu Huai entered the palace, he looked at the blood on his body with disgust.
The blood was from that bitch, and it was unbearable for him to be true.
Bright candles were burning in the hall.
Rong Xi curled up, huddled into a small ball under the quilt.
Mu Huai sat on the side of the bed, turned his back to Rong Xi, asked in a low voice, "Xi'er, are you asleep?"
Rong Xi didn't sleep, she just realized that Mu Huai had returned, and she was fully prepared mentally.
No matter how he punished her, she had no regrets.
She had figured it out just now, she didn't want to keep cheating on this man.
She also didn't want the relationship between the two to be mixed with any conspiracy, but she couldn't help it.
If Muhuai's feelings for her deteriorate because of this, she will admit it.
She only asked Mu Huai to let her give birth to the child. After the child fell to the ground safely, even if he claimed her life, she would have no complaints.
But she had to avenge Ye Yunlan and Huanniang's hatred.
Hearing Mu Huai call her Xi'er in a calm tone, Rong Xi was a little at a loss.
Didn't the imperial physician tell him the truth
Rong Xi's sweet voice trembled slightly, and replied: "...I am... I am not asleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man carefully hugged her across his lap, lowered his head, and kissed her with a touch of despair.
Not mixed with half of passion|desire, still strong with capture, but it seems to want to prove something.
When Rong Xi was about to lose her breath, Mu Huai finally let her go.
Mu Huai's deep eyes were full of complexities. He looked at the woman's terrified face and asked her, "All of this...was you secretly planning?"
Rong Xi's heart skipped a beat, but the imperial physician still told Mu Huai the truth.
I told Yihao, she didn't want to lie to him, she didn't want to hide it from him.
Rong Xi didn't reply, she wanted to struggle to get off Mu Huai's body, she wanted to kneel in front of him and beg for forgiveness.
Mu Huai restrained her, not letting her move around in his arms.
Rong Xi didn't dare to look at the man's eyes, and finally forced himself to be calm, and said to Mu Huai: "Your Highness... I am guilty, you can punish me however you want. After I give birth to the child, I will let the child be raised." Under the name of the future crown princess, I know that my guilt is unforgivable. When the time comes, I don’t have any resentment about what kind of death His Highness wants me to do, as long as His Highness can relieve my anger... I also request Your Highness, in this concubine’s life. After the body dies, treat the children of the concubine body kindly."
After hearing this, Mu Huai gave a light laugh, but it was a miserable laugh.
Rong Xi had never seen Mu Huai's expression like this, the man's brows and eyes were still stern, but somewhat gloomy.
Mu Huai didn't get angry, but asked in a low voice with utmost restraint: "Do you think that Gu brought you back only for this child?"
Rong Xi's lips trembled, but she didn't know how to reply to the man in front of her.
Mu Huai's tone finally became cold: "Listen well, in Gu's heart, you are a hundred times more important than the piece of meat in your belly. Gu can forgive you for today's matter, if you threaten your own safety in the future Lonely, Lonely..."
Mu Huai paused for words.
He lived his whole life in vain, and he had been an emperor for more than ten years. He was ruthless and cruel, and everyone feared him and feared him.
But he has nothing to do with this woman.
Rong Xi's eyes were flushed, and he suppressed tears.
Mu Huai said again: "Don't do this again... Gu will protect you in the future."
After Rong Xi listened, the suppressed tears finally welled up in his eyes.
Mu Huai hated seeing the woman in front of him cry the most. He had no choice but to hug her and put her head on his shoulder.
While caressing her back, he reprimanded in a deep voice: "Don't cry anymore, you always talk about the princess with Gu these days, and who Gu will make the princess, don't you know?"
Rong Xi sniffed, and replied in a hoarse voice: "I can't guess... who will His Highness make the princess..."
Mu Huai clenched his fists, bit the woman's ear as if to vent his anger, and then said viciously: "Stupid woman, stupid and vicious, I don't want anyone... I just want to marry you, a stupid woman... ... "
