The Chen family and the Xiao family held an emergency meeting.
The old lady held this meeting very seriously and solemnly because of Liu Liu's pregnancy.
Because, most likely, they are triplets.
The Xiao family was looking forward to the new life so much that their necks grew long and long, and they were also extremely nervous when they heard that Liu Liu was pregnant.
This meeting was held solemnly under the strict guard of the twelve zodiac generals.
The final decision was that Liu Liu was placed under house arrest.
Of course, you can still go out, but you must be accompanied by the twelve zodiac generals, and there can be no mistakes.
Liu Liu was stunned. How could she stay at home when she was pregnant? She had imagined it thousands of times. If she was pregnant, she would walk with her big belly from the east to the north, and then from the north to the west. In short, she wanted everyone in Beijing to know that she was pregnant.
This is a great joyous event, how can it be hidden? If you are pregnant in such a petty way, it is better not to be pregnant.
Liu Liu made a big fuss about it, but Zi'an kept the news strictly secret.
It is safer to have old prince An Ran around, but the old prince cannot watch over Zi An's entire pregnancy as he has a lot of things to do, so it is better if outsiders don't know that she is pregnant.
In particular, the legend about fox spirits in Beijing has reached a boiling point.
Everyone close to Zi'an knew that she was pregnant, but no one thought that there was one person who should know the most, but didn't know it yet.
That’s the seventh one.
The seventh brother was thousands of miles away, accompanying the King of Guangdong on a trip to the South.
Although the Southern Kingdom is still the fiefdom of King Nan Huai, the imperial court has issued an order for King Yuedong to take over. Therefore, Murong Jie went there in person to see which forces should be crushed and which forces should be recruited.
And the most important thing is that here, Prince Nan Huai is very popular, and Sun Fang'er is also very popular.
Ever since Sun Fang'er defected to King Nan Huai, she has been making plans and offering advice to King Nan Huai in the Southern Kingdom, and has stayed by King Nan Huai's side as a counselor.
Therefore, many officials in the Southern Country knew Sun Fanger.
This matter seemed to have no meaning at all, and it even seemed that Murong Jie did not need to do this unurgent matter at this time.
However, there is a lot of mystery here.
From the day the legend of the fox spirit came out, Murong Jie had other plans.
Da Zhou is different from Bei Mo. As mentioned before, the military generals of Bei Mo have a high status and the military power is centralized.
However, the military power of the Great Zhou was not centralized, and could even be said to be dispersed.
Murong Jie has troops under his command, but the troops he actually controls are not many. When he was in power, he could indeed mobilize a large number of troops. However, he cannot do so now. The emperor has returned to power and he has always been wise, so the people and soldiers are loyal to him. Therefore, this is very different from the Northern Desert Emperor and his soldiers being alienated.
Murong Jie knew that he must have his own troops and his own fiefdom.
He was determined to annex the Southern Kingdom.
The emperor did all these little things because he was afraid that he would rebel.
He didn't want to rebel, he just wanted to protect himself. Moreover, he wanted to outwit the emperor and achieve a goal he had always wanted to accomplish.
However, it is not easy to collect the southern country.
Especially, he was only staying here for a few days, and it was impossible for him to ask all the generals of the Southern Kingdom to submit to him, even under the slogan of Sun Fanger.
So he made a decision.
"King Huai of Nan" suddenly appeared in the South.
This King Nan Huai was, of course, the work of Rouyao, and the person who pretended to be King Nan Huai was the guard who used to follow King Nan Huai and was bribed by Murong Jie.
He had been with King Nan Huai for many years and had a thorough understanding of his every move. Therefore, he had no pressure at all in pretending to be King Nan Huai.
"King Huai of Nan" reconciled with Murong Jie and shook hands in peace in front of the officials and generals of the Southern Kingdom.
Moreover, Murong Jie also promised to strive for a one-year tax reduction for the Southern Kingdom. Therefore, in just a few days, Murong Jie had won the hearts of the people of the Southern Kingdom.
This was his last step, and he would not have taken it if it had not been necessary.
After doing all this, he quickly returned to Beijing. Counting the days, the game in the palace should be about to begin.
After the Emperor handed over the Southern Kingdom to the King of Yuedong, he certainly had no defense against the Southern Kingdom. Therefore, the strength of this support would be beyond the Emperor's expectations.
Of course, what he hoped most was that it would not come to this.
In the palace.
Sun Fang'er is leaving the palace.
The night before leaving the palace, the emperor ordered people to block the way along the way to send Sun Fang'er to Guoan Temple safely.
On this day, everything seemed calm, but many people were waiting.
Sun Fang'er still used the excuse of going to Guoan Temple to pray for blessings, and prepared many things needed for praying, but she never stepped out of Xiwei Palace.
In the evening, Concubine Yi went to Yueqing Palace and brought a lot of cakes and pastries as an apology.
That day, the dispute was originally about borrowing money, and there was no right or wrong. Therefore, Concubine Mei did not take it too seriously. She ate her cakes and reconciled with her.
Concubine Yi talked to her for a while in Yueqing Palace and then left.
Around midnight in the evening, Concubine Mei suddenly felt severe abdominal pain.
She was pregnant, how could she have abdominal pain in the middle of the night? Juer immediately went to Xiwei Palace to find the emperor and then the imperial physician.
The imperial physician said that Concubine Mei had eaten unclean food, which caused her abdominal pain.
The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. Juer told the emperor everything she had eaten during the day, including the cakes sent by Concubine Yi.
The emperor ordered someone to summon Concubine Yi that night. Concubine Yi admitted that she had sent some cakes, but she did not poison them.
The imperial physician also said that there was no poison, but the food was unclean and might have been left over from the previous night.
Concubine Yi cried out that she was wronged, saying that all the cakes were freshly made and that she had watched her servants make them herself.
Because there was no poison, although the emperor concluded that it was the cakes that caused Concubine Mei's stomachache, he did not punish her severely and just sent her back.
The emperor stayed in Yueqing Palace and accompanied Concubine Mei all night. He returned to Xiwei Palace just as dawn was approaching.
In Xiwei Palace, Sun Fang'er was ready to set off.
She had just finished washing and getting dressed when Liang Shulin and his men waited outside the hall, waiting for her to come out.
The emperor went in and said a few words to her, and then Sun Fang'er went out holding the pottery jar.
Sun Fang'er got on the sedan chair. Liang Shulin asked the bearers to lift the sedan chair and carried it out.
The carriage was waiting outside the palace gate. When it arrived at the gate, the sedan chair got off and Liang Shulin personally helped Sun Fanger into the carriage.
More than a hundred imperial guards led the way. Since Sun Fanger's way out of the city had been blocked before, there were no obstacles along the way.
When the carriage went out of the city, Sun Fang'er stopped it.
Liang Shulin stepped forward and said, "My Lady, do you have any instructions?"
Sun Fang'er opened the curtain of the carriage and smiled at Liang Shulin. That smile was full of endless contempt.
Liang Shulin was stunned for a moment, "My Lady?"
Sun Fang'er put her hands on her face and gently peeled off the skin, revealing a fragile girl.
Liang Shulin was shocked and grabbed her neck, "Who are you? Where is the queen?"
Black blood oozed from the girl's mouth, but she still had that contemptuous smile on her face. Her head tilted to the side, her body twitched a few times, and she fell off the carriage, having died from the poison.
Liang Shulin exclaimed: "Quick, go back to the palace and seal the city gates!"
It takes half an hour for the carriage to leave the city. This half an hour is enough for the real Sun Fang'er to leave the palace.
