This huge palace became empty in an instant. Xiao Junhan hugged the virtuous concubine with tears in his eyes, "Concubine, how could this happen?"
The red crane's crown was really poisonous, but within a moment, Xianbi felt the pain of twisting her internal organs together, making her wish she could just hit the pillar and die, it was better than suffering such pain.
But her son was right in front of her, making her extremely reluctant to let him go.
Concubine Xian held her breath and gasped, "Han'er, it's my fault that the concubine did herself, and now it's time for me to bear it. But the concubine has no regrets and has done everything for my child. regret!"
At this point, she suddenly grabbed Xiao Junhan's hand, opened her eyes and said, "There is just one thing. The emperor said that he wanted to make Xiao Junxi the emperor, but my mother and concubine were unwilling to accept it. I am not willing to accept it!"
Xiao Junhan was shocked by her words. He grabbed her hand suddenly and asked, "Is what the concubine said the truth?"
Just as the wise concubine was about to say something, her throat suddenly felt sweet and she spit out a mouthful of blood. She struggled to hold Xiao Junhan's hand, looked at him overlapped in front of her, and continued, "One more thing, after I die, you go to Yeting to find a nanny—"
Even at this time, Xian Concubine did not let down her guard. She pulled Xiao Junhan's head down and whispered a few words in his ear.
Every time she said something, Xiao Junhan's eyes widened. By the end, his face was a little distorted, "Mother, you are really -"
He didn't finish his words, and he didn't know whether he was blaming Xian Concubine for being so bold or angry that she was leaving excuses for doing things.
It's just that the rest of his words are destined to be lost.
After Xian Concubine finished explaining this matter, she suddenly made a gurgling sound as if someone had strangled her throat.
"Mother concubine, mother concubine!"
A man was heard crying loudly, and the maid beside him also knelt down.
After the opening of the court on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Jing announced his decree.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: The virtuous concubine had corrupt conduct. He poisoned the fetus in the concubine's belly first, and contradicted the holy emperor later. He wanted her to die, and she was buried with the usual ceremony. She was not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum. She was placed ten miles outside the capital. . In addition, the virtuous concubine’s mother has no way of educating her daughter. Within three generations, men are not allowed to enter officialdom, and women are not allowed to marry into official families. I admire this!”
This decree immediately hit the hearts of everyone present like a thunder.
Xie Ruzhuo was quite surprised when he heard this decree.
She originally thought that this matter would become irreconcilable, but she didn't expect that this thunderstorm would come so softly.
However, the fall of the virtuous concubine and the power of her mother's family behind her was a big blow to Xiao Junhan, but she was happy to see this gain.
Xiao Junhan must have turned pale with worry at the moment, but he didn't know if he would be happy to accept it if he sent him a favor at this time
Seeing that his little wife was lost in thought again, Xiao Junxi lowered her head in dissatisfaction, bit her lips, and said vaguely, "Zhuo'er started neglecting her husband again."
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo raised his head and looked at him innocently. Well, it is said that pregnant women's moods will become bad. Why does she feel that she is so normal, but her husband's moods are so unpredictable
But she didn't dare to ask this question. She just laughed and changed the subject, "I'm a little hungry. Do you want to eat?"
Although she knew that Xie Ruzhuo was completely making an excuse, Xiao Junxi was not willing to really starve her daughter-in-law. She sighed immediately, walked over resignedly, brought over the pastries prepared on the table, and fed them to Xie Ruzhuo.
Xie Ruzhuo goes to bed early recently, and Xiao Junxi is busy with government affairs, so he always coaxes her to sleep before going to the study to deal with paperwork.
Tonight was no exception.
After watching Xie Ruzhuo fall asleep, Xiao Junxi got up and went to the study.
Someone was waiting quietly. When he saw him coming in, he shouted respectfully, "Master."
Xiao Junxi nodded, sat on the chair and asked, "How are things going?"
"Master, the matter has been settled. However," Zi Xiao said hesitantly, "when my subordinates went to handle this matter today, they found that the princess seemed to be doing the same thing."
"kindness?"
Hearing this, Xiao Junxi raised her head and said cheerfully, "This is quite interesting."
Seeing that Xiao Junxi had no reaction after saying these words, Zixiao stepped out in a wise manner.
The candlelight in the room flickered, making the light on Xiao Junxi's face unpredictable.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and took the folder on the table in his hand, but he no longer had the intention to review it. He simply threw the fold back and turned back to the inner room.
There was only a weak light left in the room, which illuminated the sleeping face of the woman on the bed particularly softly.
Xiao Junxi calmed down her footsteps, but still woke up Xie Ruzhuo.
She opened her sleepy eyes, moved inside consciously, and said vaguely, "What time has it been?"
Xiao Junxi hooked up the curtain, got on the bed and hugged her, saying, "It's late at night, go to sleep." He said this, but he didn't close his eyes.
Perhaps sensing Xiao Junxi's scrutiny, Xie Ruzhuo also opened his eyes and asked doubtfully, "Are you worried?"
Xiao Junxi smiled slightly, touched her head and said, "Nothing, just go to sleep."
Seeing the fatigue in his eyes, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly understood. He stretched out his arms to hug him and said, "Everything is over. Husband, please be more open-minded."
After all, she was his great-grandmother. When Xiao Junxi was young, the Queen Mother took pity on his mother and doted on him especially. I originally thought that the Empress Dowager died. Who would have thought that once the truth was revealed, she found out that she was killed by someone? The pain and resentment in Xiao Junxi's heart can be seen clearly.
It's just that Emperor Jing has already made a decree. No matter how unwilling he is, he can only let things pass like this. It's just that I can't untie the knot in my heart.
Xiao Junxi hugged her back, smelling the fragrance on her hair, and remained silent.
Seeing him like this, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but reach out and rub his palm, as if to give him strength.
Xiao Junxi was so amused by her that she wanted to laugh. She kissed her forehead and then said, "My husband is no longer a child."
As he said that, he remembered another thing and asked, "Why do you want to be a matchmaker?"
Xie Ruzhuo was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "How did you know?" Logically speaking, the thing she asked to do was very secretive.
Xiao Junxi's expression was particularly amusing when she saw her, and she didn't hide it from her. She just smiled and said, "My husband originally thought that the princess of the Dashi Kingdom has been in my court for so long, but she still has no one she likes. I want to replace her." She searched for a while, but she never thought that you would do it first, madam. It really makes sense."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately said angrily, "I feel pity for the beautiful princess of the Dashi Kingdom. Could it be that, husband, you still want to take her in?"
Because of Xiao Junxi's illness, she had already ignored Murong Wan's existence. But since Princess Qi reconciled, seeing Shen Jingci becoming more and more proud, Xie Ruzhuo accidentally learned that the Princess of Dashi Kingdom was still in the capital and had a close relationship with the Princess, so she had an idea.
Murong Wan was entangled with Xiao Junhan in her previous life, so in this life she would create an opportunity for these two to stay together and fly together!
After all, it takes a nest of snakes and rats to serve the whole pot.
How could Xiao Junxi not know what she was thinking? Seeing that the jealousy was overturned, he coaxed softly, "When it comes to beauty, who can be better than my wife? How can my husband care about other people?"
Xie Ruzhuo had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't help but make things difficult for him, "So, the only thing you care about is my beauty. Then after my beauty passes away, won't you have to care about others?"
Seeing her becoming more and more indignant as she spoke, her pink lips pursed, and there was even a hint of accusation in her eyes. Xiao Junxi sighed slightly in her heart, but her face was extremely solemn, "Don't you know my husband's thoughts?"
Xie Ruzhuo originally wanted to tease him, but after seeing the traces of lingering friendship in his eyes, he could no longer say anything else.
The deep affection in his eyes was enough to make her drown in it and unable to extricate herself.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Junxi couldn't help but hug her in her arms again and sighed, "Si Zhuo'er."
Xie Ruzhuo muttered, "I'm not stupid."
As he said that, he finally felt that what he had just done was a bit embarrassing, so he coughed lightly and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Xiao Junxi smiled slightly and said, "Tell me, after your plan takes effect, if someone passes the news that Prince Qi is about to become the crown prince, will she still be able to sit still?"
How can a future crown prince without a princess not become the favorite of the princess of the Great Food Kingdom
Thinking of this, Xie Ruzhuo's eyes lit up, and his eyebrows curled up into a smile.
A few days ago, she bribed Murong Wan's maid and did some tricks on Murong Wan's makeup. In these two days, it will definitely take effect.
After her plan was successful, coupled with Xiao Junxi's serial plan, the matter was 80% certain.
Thinking of this, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly remembered what Xiao Junxi said, "There is a clear understanding between the two minds." The two of them did the same thing together without knowing each other, and together they became a serial scheme. They really deserved to be a couple.
The coolness of the early spring weather penetrated her body along her clothes, causing Shen Jingci to shiver uncontrollably.
She was originally unwilling to come out. If Shi Mo hadn't said that there was a wandering doctor in Xicheng who was very miraculous in curing diseases and saving lives, she wouldn't have followed him out so rashly.
But after five or six streets, seeing that the road was getting further and further away, Shen Jingci's face began to get a little more angry.
"Shi Mo, why haven't you arrived yet?"
The intervals between her poisonous attacks have become shorter and shorter in the past few days, but none of the quack doctors in the house can solve it, and Shen Jingci's temper is getting hotter and hotter.
Since the death of Xianbi, Xiao Junhan has contacted ministers more and more frequently. Now that the position of the princess is vacant, Shen Jingci can't even imagine what Xiao Junhan will do if there is a suitable candidate!
So now the child in her belly is her hope. Nothing can happen to this child!
Shi Mo took in Shen Jingci's expression without leaving a trace, and then looked outside when she was impatient, and then said happily, "Master, here we are!"
This is an extremely remote alley, narrow and long, with few people around.
Shen Jingci was a little confused and asked warily, "Are you sure?"
Seeing Shi Mo nodding, Shen Jingci said, "Go ahead and knock on the door." After saying that, she sat on the carriage and waited for Shi Mo's next move.
Shi Mo didn't say much, got out of the carriage immediately, walked to the door and knocked on the door.
