I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 136 A sudden turn of events
The two palace maids waited for a while, and when they saw that the emperor did not respond to Concubine Xiao's pleas for mercy, they really put in some effort.

As the two of them dragged her, her well-maintained nails broke one after another. Xiao Guipin scratched the ground hard, crying and begging for mercy, leaving several fresh bloodstains on the clean ground.

Chu Liuzheng turned his head away and didn't dare to look again. He listened to the crying and shouting getting farther and farther away until it disappeared.

It was so quiet in Huayin Hall that you could hear a pin drop.

Seeing Concubine Xiao being dragged away, Concubine Zhu was so frightened that she froze, staring blankly at the two broken nails on the threshold, with bright red blood still on the edges.

Her mind was in a mess and goose bumps on her arms appeared uncontrollably and one after another.

This is the emperor.

This is the emperor!
She shivered slowly, and her fingers in her sleeves curled up and clenched.

That's... rights.

Wang Cairen, who was standing by, moved uneasily. She felt that this night was particularly hard and she regretted not pretending to be sick.

Concubine Du was glad that she liked women more. With her compassion for her sisters, she would not follow in the footsteps of Concubine Xiao in order to compete for favor.

Concubine Shen lowered her eyelashes and carefully counted the embroidered flowers on the hem of her skirt, one, two, three...

Concubine Gao looked outside the door, her eyes empty, as if she was in a trance.

Xie Jieyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and yawned silently.

Chun Zhaoyi clenched her hands nervously, stole a glance at the emperor sitting at the top of the table, and gave up the idea of ​​inviting the emperor to Maohua Palace tonight.

A sneer flashed across Concubine Shu's eyes. The man named Xiao dared to harm her beautiful face, so he deserved to die!

The others also had their own thoughts, but no matter what they were thinking, everyone tacitly remained silent.

[Ahhh! The atmosphere is so tense, someone come and talk!!]

Chu Liuzheng felt a low pressure in the hall, and the air was about to freeze along with the snowflakes. He didn't even dare to distract himself to refresh the system.

At this moment, Xiao Jingfan suddenly took off the Bodhi beads on his wrist and placed them on the small table beside him.

The beads hit the table, making a 'click' sound.

In an instant, everyone turned to look.

"Princess Gao." Xiao Jingfan raised his eyes and his cold gaze fell on Concubine Gao, who had never spoken.

To Gaopin, this voice was like the King of Hell calling her name, and her heartbeat quickened suddenly.

Sure enough, His Majesty knew everything.

She glanced at the bodhi beads on the table, suppressed the fear in her heart, exhaled lightly, slowly stood up with the help of the armrest of the chair, took two steps forward, turned around, and knelt upright towards the emperor.

Everyone:? ? ?
Xiao Jingfan stared at her, his eyes dark: "Do you admit your guilt?"

"I know my crime." Gaopin lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please punish me."

[Wait, I didn't fast forward, why did Concubine Gao suddenly confess her guilt? ]

Chu Liuzheng blinked, not understanding.

Others didn't understand it either.

But they understood the next moment, and heard Xiao Jingfan say coldly: "From now on, you will light this candle every day, and never stop."

Her long eyelashes trembled, Gaopin pursed her lips slightly, and bowed: "Your Majesty obeys your order."

Seeing her like this, Xiao Jingfan put the bodhi beads back on and tapped the armrest with his slender fingers twice, "Go to the cold palace, I don't want to see you again."

"I obey your command." Gaopin's voice trembled slightly. She bowed again, her forehead touching the ground for a long time, without standing up.

It lasted so long that even Xiao Jingfan found it strange.

The head palace maid Zi Su crawled forward on her knees and reached out to touch Gaopin, who then fell to the side.

"Master!" Zi Su was startled and hurriedly hugged the person.

The concubines all looked at the two of them in surprise and suspicion.

Xiao Jingfan frowned and motioned for the imperial physician to come over and take a look at Concubine Gao. At the same time, Chu Liuzheng opened the system and flipped through it.

[Hey, you're not pretending to be dizzy, why did you suddenly faint...Frog fun! Concubine Gao is more than three months pregnant! ! Even earlier than the Queen! ]

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Concubine Gao is now more than three months pregnant."

The imperial physician's voice sounded almost at the same time as his inner voice. Xiao Jingfan was slightly stunned. He tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers, glanced at Concubine Gao who was in a coma, and was speechless for a moment.

There was a hint of sadness in Concubine Shu's eyes, but it soon faded away. The corners of her lips raised, and a gentle smile appeared on her face again, "I congratulate Your Majesty."

The other concubines also followed suit to congratulate.

Xiao Jingfan acted as if he didn't hear anything, his face was sullen and he didn't react at all.

Concubine Shen glanced at the unconscious Concubine Gao and curled her lips secretly.

The pregnancy was already stable after three months, and Mr. Gao did a great job keeping it a secret.

Chun Zhaoyi lowered her head and glanced at her belly. She was more favored than Concubine Gao, and even Concubine Gao was pregnant with the royal heir, so why was she still not pregnant?

When Concubine Yun, who was pretending to be unconscious behind the screen, heard the news that Concubine Gao was pregnant, her eyelashes trembled and her hands hidden under the quilt clenched quietly.

[Tsk tsk, what a sudden turn of events! He is indeed a capable person who can play both sides between the Queen and Concubine Dou. He just confessed his crime so readily without even trying to argue. It turns out that he has someone to rely on.]

[The tyrant has few children, and Concubine Gao is pregnant now, which means she is carrying a golden nugget and a life-saving talisman. She cannot go to the cold palace. After giving birth to the child, she may even be able to improve her status.]

Chu Liuzheng was waiting to hear the tyrant withdraw his order to punish Concubine Gao.

But she waited and waited, and even when the flowers were cold, she still heard nothing.

[Is the tyrant happy and stupid? 】

She turned her head in surprise, only to see that Emperor Shunguang had a frown on his face, without a trace of joy.

Chu Liuzheng: ???

Concubine Shen rolled her eyes and gave him a way out: "Your Majesty, the cold palace is not suitable for pregnancy. Although Concubine Gao should be punished, the child is innocent."

Concubine Shu also advised: "Your Majesty has a kind fatherly heart, and he certainly won't bear to let the little prince suffer in the cold palace with Concubine Gao."

"Sister Shufei is right." Concubine Chun advised, "Even if you want to punish her, wait until Concubine Gao gives birth to the child."

[Frog fun! Are you planning to save the mother and her child? ]

Chu Liuzheng was shocked when he heard this.

Xiao Jingfan glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Just follow what Concubine Chun said."

Hearing this, Zi Su chanted Buddha's name in her heart.

——Amitabha, with the blessing of Bodhisattva, I have finally passed this hurdle.

Xiao Jingfan ordered all the imperial doctors to come in and asked, "Who is responsible for checking Concubine Gao's pulse?"

A royal physician who was about thirty years old stepped forward.

Chu Liuzheng tilted his head to take a look and remembered that this man's surname was Chen. He was a bit arrogant and liked to hold his chin up when looking at people.

Xiao Jingfan looked up at Doctor Chen and asked, "Don't you know that Concubine Gao is pregnant?"

Doctor Chen said, "In reply to your Majesty, Concubine Gao said she wanted to tell your Majesty in person, and ordered me not to reveal a single word."

Xiao Jingfan sneered: "If Concubine Gao asked you to keep it a secret, then keep it a secret. In this case, you should also bear the blame for her crime."

Doctor Chen was so frightened that he trembled and knelt down: "I dare not, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"I think there is nothing you dare not do." Xiao Jingfan leaned back in his chair and uttered a word with his thin lips, "Kill."

"Your Majesty!" Doctor Chen looked up in astonishment. Before he could continue begging for mercy, a eunuch came forward, covered his mouth and dragged him away.

After a while, a faint smell of blood drifted in with the cold wind.

Everyone in the hall was silent, and at the same time, a word appeared in their minds - killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

I’m afraid that in the future no imperial physician will dare to conceal the news that the empress is pregnant.
