Waking up with a baby

"I-I didn't..."

Zhuang Xuzhao raised her head in a panic, just now the two slaps from the young branch broke her bun, and now the black hair fell on her face halfway.She bit her lip, Xue Wei usually loves this lovely and pitiful look the most, so she sobbed: "Your Majesty, you have to decide for your concubine."

Xue Wei pinched the center of her brows, pity for pity, but still waved her hand and said, "Bring Chen Wenhan and her maid here first."

Zhuang Xuzhao fell on the ground and sobbed. She had already made up her mind that she would deny it no matter what. Even if Chen Wenhan and Xuesheng were blamed for the crime, she would get out today without any injuries.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Xu looked at the young branch without any trace.

She has been in the palace for only one year, and now she is pregnant.Both the Zhuang family and the Lu family had stated to Zhuang Xuzhao that if she gave birth to a prince, they would support him as the crown prince, and Zhuang Xuzhao would become the lord of the six palaces, in charge of Fengyin. above ten thousand people.

Zhuang Xuzhao stroked his belly and sneered silently.

No matter how unfavorable the situation is, she still has a life talisman in her hand.

Not long after, Xue Sheng and Chen Wenhan came to the Imperial Study Room one after another.

Xue Sheng wrung his hands uneasily, not daring to speak, only occasionally glanced at Zhuang Xuzhao who was kneeling at the side, but Chen Wenhan asked calmly, "Why did Your Majesty summon this humble minister?"

"Concubine Congjia was assassinated today, the assassin confessed you and..." Xue Wei raised his chin at You Qing, without mentioning Zhuang Xuzhao, "Have you ever been ordered to assassinate Concubine Congjia?"

"Wei Chen..."

Chen Wenhan paused, the assassin hadn't returned for a long time, and now King Congjia, Concubine Congjia and Concubine Yougui are all here, he immediately understood that the matter had been exposed.Chen Wenhan looked at Zhuang Xuzhao, and it happened that Zhuang Xuzhao turned his head to look at him, his face was pale, his brows and eyes were wet with tears, I felt sorry for him.

Zhuang Xuzhao bit her lip, and a few more tears fell down. Chen Wenhan knew her miserable life experience, and loved her very much. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help feeling sorry for her, and secretly hated himself for not being able to fulfill her wish. .

Chen Wenhan felt distressed, and almost instantly, he decided to take all the responsibility for the crime, so Chen Wenhan took a deep look at Zhuang Xuzhao, retracted his gaze, and said, "No."

He kowtowed to the ground, "I assassinated Concubine Congjia because I had a grudge against Concubine Congjia, and I was never ordered by anyone."

Zhuang Xuzhao hooked his lips into a smile.

"Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crimes." Chen Wenhan raised his head, "I only hate that I didn't bring the princess and my minister to be buried with me before I died."

"He came to be buried with you?"

Xue Bai walked slowly, his eyes and brows were icy cold, his knuckle hand pinched Chen Wenhan's chin, and then increased his strength, with a "click", it was pinched until it dislocated.Xue Bai lowered his eyes and said: "He was born as my king's man, and died as my king's ghost, and it's not your turn to be buried with him."

The pain in the chin made Chen Wenhan frowned slightly, and he said vaguely: "The minister's younger brother only had a few quarrels with him, and he had to be relentless and kill them all. Not only did he cut off his official career, He even instructed Jin Jiuniang to come to my Chen residence to make trouble, causing him to be ridiculed and depressed all day long."

Ever since Chen Sheng had an incident in Wanhualou, the Chen family has had a hard time in Beijing.Jin Jiuniang came to the door every now and then, crying, rolling all over the floor in front of Chen's house. It was useless for them to report to the official, and they were not told by others. Once the Chen family figured it out, they had to tie the bell to untie the bell, so they tied Chen Sheng to apologize to Xiaozhi. But Young Zhi didn't see him behind closed doors, and Chen Shilang had someone read a book in the early court, so he had to take a sick leave for recuperation, with an uncertain return date.

Even though Xue Wei suppressed the memorial and did not pursue responsibility, Chen Shilang was eager to go to court, so he tried every means to walk around, begging for mercy, but he didn't want to be rejected several times in a row, and simply vented his anger on Chen Sheng, so The Chen family is full of cursing from Chen Shilang, persuasion from Chen's mother and crying from Chen Sheng all day long.

Chen Wenhan naturally hated Ji Youqing and Youzhi, but the real reason for his attack was not that, Chen Wenhan just couldn't bear to disappoint Zhuang Xuzhao.

"Be reasonable or not?" Xue Bai withdrew his hand, and the palace man handed him a clean white handkerchief. Xue Bai wiped his slender fingers one by one, and said calmly: "According to Vice Commander Chen's intention, Mr. Chen can do it." Mistakes and wrong words should not be pursued, if they are pursued, it will be unreasonable."

"If you are so righteous, why not write this article into the Daxing Yulu."

Xue Bai raised his eyes, "Furthermore, Vice Commander Chen's ability to turn major issues into minor ones is really amazing. Mr. Chen's rude words in public can easily get over the dispute with just a few words of quarrel."

Chen Wenhan was suffocated, Xue Bai said again in a low voice: "Mr. Chen's words revealed his true feelings, and this king was deeply touched."

Chen Wenhan remained silent, with a resolute expression. Seeing this, Xiaozhi smiled playfully, "It's a pity that you put all your heart and soul into thinking about that person, but that person put himself aside early in the morning."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhi said lightly, "Who is Xue Sheng? Do you know that your master has confessed you just now, saying that you bribed Mei Zhuang and drugged me, but she didn't know anything about it."

Xue Sheng raised his head in a daze, "...what?"

Zhuang Xuzhao thought it was not good, Xiaozhi was trying to drive a wedge between Xuesheng and herself.She asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, when did the concubine say that Xue Sheng did it?"

"Oh?" Youzhi smiled, "Xuesheng came to Yaohua Palace to bribe Mei Zhuang, Concubine Zhuang just now cried to His Majesty that she was wronged and never did it, isn't this ignorance?"

Zhuang Xuzhao was taken aback, and said in a loud voice: "The concubine really doesn't know."

You Zhi put away her smile, squinted her almond eyes, stared at Xue Sheng and said, "You servant girl dared to lie and murder me."

Xue Sheng hurriedly shook his head, "Your Majesty, there is no maidservant, no maidservant."

Only then did Zhuang Xuzhao come to her senses, and let Xiaozhi play a game. She should kill Mei Zhuang and slander herself, but it is useless to repent at this time. After a little thought, Zhuang Xuzhao frowned and said: "Madam, even if It was Xuesheng who did it, but why did she do this?"

"Why?"

Youzhi said slowly: "I accidentally discovered that Vice Commander Chen often changes shifts with others, so he deliberately changed from the second south palace to the third north palace, and Jianjia palace is in the third north palace. It must be... just to have a tryst with this slave girl." .”

Zhuang Xuzhao suddenly raised his eyes, "What?"

Her heart skipped a beat, knowing that if she denied it again at this moment, it would be revealed that Chen Wenhan had come to Jianjia Palace to meet her, and the concubines in the harem were naturally not allowed to meet other men in private without any reason.On a sultry summer night, Zhuang Xuzhao broke out in a cold sweat. She turned her head to look at the helpless Xuesheng, and asked with difficulty, "You actually have a private meeting with Vice Commander Chen?"

Xuesheng was stunned for a moment, then asked in disbelief: "Your Majesty?"

"It turns out that Concubine Zhuang didn't know about it." Youzhi walked to Xuesheng's side, and said in a soft tone: "In this way, I understand roughly. First, Qingqing had a dispute with Mr. Chen outside the palace. Deputy Commander Chen held a grudge, but the maids around Concubine Zhuang admired him, so they secretly used Concubine Zhuang's name to buy Meizhuang and exchanged it for Diancui's sachet. After that, the little noble son disappeared inexplicably. If it doesn’t work, they will try to kill Qingqing again, to avenge Mr. Chen.”

"The mind is really vicious." Xiaozhi asked Xuesheng with a half-smile, "Do you know that if you do this, you will be imprisoned by the nine clans?"

"The imperial concubine, no, it's not like this." Xuesheng's face turned pale with fright, and she looked at Zhuang Xuzhao as if asking for help, "My empress, please tell the imperial concubine that slaves are not like this, slaves really are not!"

Zhuang Xuzhao couldn't take care of himself, so he lowered his eyes and asked, "Xuesheng, I treat you like a sister, why did you frame me?"

Youzhi said to Xue Bai: "My lord, Qingqing must have been assassinated, you must be furious, in your opinion, how to deal with this maid later?"

Xue Bai glanced over, knowing that Xiaozhi had ulterior motives, and his tone didn't fluctuate, "Since you dare to move Qingqing, why don't you pull out her tongue, goug out her eyes, cut off her limbs, make a human pig, and make her regret for the rest of her life."

Xuesheng shook like a chaff sieve, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save this servant."

Zhuang Xuzhao closed his eyes, turning a deaf ear to her cries for help, "If you do such a thing, I cannot save you."

Xue Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to deal with Xue Sheng and Chen Wenhan, "Come here, put them in the dungeon and wait..."

Several guards obeyed the order and grabbed Xuesheng. Xuesheng struggled and looked at Zhuang Xuzhao with tears in his eyes, but Zhuang Xuzhao didn't even give her a look. After a long time, Xuesheng seemed to understand something , she became ruthless, broke free from the shackles of the guards, and crawled in front of Xiaozhi, "The imperial concubine is not a slave, it is her, the empress."

"I hope the noble concubine will learn from you."

Xuesheng choked and said, "It's the empress who has hated the imperial concubine for a long time, she wants to replace the imperial concubine, it is also the empress who wants Mr. Chen to send someone to assassinate the concubine!"

Zhuang Xuzhao didn't expect this, and when she heard the words, she didn't have time to think about it. She got up and walked to Xuesheng's side, and slapped her, "You bitch, why are you talking nonsense?"

"Your servant is not talking nonsense." Xue Sheng wiped his tears with his sleeve, "Your Majesty, concubine, if you don't trust your servant, you can send people to Jianjia Palace. The dowry of your empress still contains ten years of red powder."

Zhuang Xuzhao wanted to slap Xuesheng, "You framed me?"

Young Zhi stopped her, "Why doesn't Concubine Zhuang wait for her to finish speaking?"

Xuesheng lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty knows that Mr. Chen has a crush on her, so she often calls Mr. Chen privately. Every member of the Jianjia Palace knows about this. Your Majesty and Your Majesty can ask about it one by one. "

The situation took a turn for the worse, Zhuang Xuzhao hurriedly grabbed Xue Wei's sleeve, "Your Majesty, don't listen to this..."

Xue Wei raised his hand and slapped her, causing Zhuang Xuzhao to fall to the ground. She covered her cheeks and stared at Xue Wei blankly, she couldn't help but shed two lines of tears, but Xue Wei pretended not to see it, with a frown between his brows. full of gloom.He asked Chen Wenhan angrily, "Is what this servant girl said true?"

Chen Wenhan hesitated for a moment, "She..."

Xue Wei sneered and said, "If there is any intentional deception, there are dozens of people in your Chen family, and I will scrape off their flesh, their skin, and their bones one by one."

Xue Wei has always acted cruelly, and this kind of torture is not impossible for him. Chen Wenhan's face turned pale. He deserved to be beheaded and executed, but the Chen family must not be involved.

only……

Xue Wei looked at Zhuang Xuzhao, who was kneeling on the ground, crying so much that it was pitiful, Xue Wei couldn't bear it.He clenched his fists, struggled for a long time, finally closed his eyes and said: "Return to Your Majesty, what she said..."

You Zhi lazily suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't you bring the Chen family into the palace right now and ask them to explain clearly in front of you."

Chen Wenhan hesitated again when he heard the words. He already had his own answer in his heart, but he still didn't want to see Zhuang Xuzhao cry.

But what is the crime of dozens of people in the Chen family?

Chen Wenhan's eyes flickered. After a long time, he finally chose the Chen family and did not implicate them.Chen Wenhan closed his eyes, stopped looking at Zhuang Xuzhao, and said ruthlessly, "...what you said is true."

The hand that Zhuang Xuzhao was holding lost weight for a moment, and he broke half of his nails.

"What a photo of Zhuang Xu, yes, you are so kind!"

Xue Wei laughed back in anger. He brought Zhuang Xuzhao back from the palace, and it was he who made her one of the four concubines in the harem. At this moment, the original love and affection completely turned into a monstrous anger. Xue Wei pointed at Zhuang Xuzhao, wanting to burst , "Come here! Concubine Zhuang is virtuous and immoral, jealous and cunning, and has a vicious mind. From now on, she will be demoted to a beauty, with a royal staff of sixty, and will be assigned to Ye Ting. She will never take a step forward!"

Zhuang Xuzhao had no way to refute, so he could only call out in a daze, "Your Majesty!"

"Now that there are all witnesses and material evidence, what else can you say?" Xue Wei's brows were filled with her disgust, and he ordered the guards: "Take her down to me."

The guards came forward to drag him along, Zhuang Xuzhao struggled hard, her peripheral vision passed by the young branch, as if waking up from a dream.Zhuang Xuzhao begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, this concubine is pregnant with a dragon seed. Even if this concubine's crime is unforgivable, the child in this concubine's belly is innocent!"

Xue Wei asked coldly: "Are you pregnant with my dragon species, or his wild species?"

Zhuang Xuzhao cried, "Your Majesty, how dare my concubine do this?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Youzhi pondered for a moment, then walked forward, smiled with eyes bent: "Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Honorable One, I think Concubine Zhuang would not dare to pretend to be fake."

Zhuang Xuzhao saw that Young Zhi was speaking for him, and felt something strange in his heart.

Not long after, Young Zhi said slowly again: "Your Majesty, counting the time, the concubine has been in the palace for six years now, but she has not come out for these six years. Since Concubine Zhuang committed such a heinous crime, the punishment is natural." It is for punishment, but right now she is pregnant with a dragon womb, so she cannot be beaten with sixty sticks, nor can she go to Yeting Palace, if she is thrown into the cold palace for the time being, she will settle accounts with her in the rest of the autumn."

"As for the fetus in her womb..."

Young Zhi wrote lightly: "If not, then adopt to my concubine."

Zhuang Xuzhao couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty!"

Xue Wei has calmed down now, Zhuang Xuzhao really can't punish severely, not to mention thinking about it carefully, after she gave birth to the baby, it would be best for her to be raised by Xiaozhi.Xue Wei waved her hand, and said with a little sleepiness: "Since you want to take her by your side and raise her, then put her in the cold palace first, and wait until she is born."

Zhuang Xuzhao was not reconciled, she thought that even if everything was lost at this moment, as long as she could give birth to a dragon son, there would always be a comeback in the future, but she didn't want Xiaozhi to directly cut off her back.She said sadly: "...Your Majesty, there is no need to bother the imperial concubine or empress, the concubines can take care of themselves."

"You?" Xue Wei sneered, not wanting to talk to her again, "Come here, take her out."

"Your Majesty!" Zhuang Xuzhao still didn't give up. Her face was full of tears. She no longer looked so pitiful as before, and she only looked embarrassed. "The concubine is just, just confused for a while. What's more, the concubine has been serving you for the past year. Left and right, even if there is no credit, there is hard work, how much does Your Majesty really care about your ministers and concubines?"

Xue Wei asked him: "What hard work do you have? The hard work of imitating Zhizhi in words, deeds, clothes and dress?"

Zhuang Xuzhao froze and murmured: "Your Majesty..."

"I never thought that your mind would be so vicious." Xue Wei pointed at her and said, "A moment of confusion? First framed Zhizhi, and then framed your court lady. I think you have been deceived by lard, and you will use whatever means you can." !"

Zhuang Xuzhao knew that there was no room for maneuver, so he sat on the ground dejectedly.

The guards got the order and dragged Zhuang Xuzhao to escort her outside, but she just walked to the door, she suddenly struggled vigorously, the guards' negligence allowed her to break free.At this moment, Zhuang Xuzhao's bun was completely scattered, and her cheeks were wet again, her eyes were red, and she looked crazy. She walked straight towards the young branch, and then stretched out her hand to push him, but the guards grabbed her hair violently. Pulled back.

Zhuang Xuzhao was in unbearable pain, "Let go, let go! How dare you..."

Xue Wei slapped her, "Get lost!"

This slap was so hard that Zhuang Xu was stunned.She stared blankly at Xue Wei. She never thought that Xue Wei would treat her like this. At this moment, Zhuang Xuzhao suddenly realized that all the tenderness and affection of this man did not belong to her. Imitate the dressing of Xiaozhi, imitate her every move, in the eyes of Xue Wei, when she needs it, she is Xiaozhi, a substitute for Xiaozhi; .

instead?

The twig is the bright moon in the distant sky, and she is just a phantom reflected in the water. When the moon hunter sees the moon in the water, he plunges into the water happily, but holds up his hands empty.

I am nothing, how can I replace it?

The supreme status, the favor of the emperor, and the dragon fetus in his womb are all his own. This thought made Zhuang Xuzhao feel ashamed in an instant.She stopped struggling, and let the guards drag her out of the imperial study, walked past the waiting palace servants, and stepped into the dark night.

She has nothing left.

Zhuang Xuzhao couldn't help but burst into tears.

After Xue Wei sent Zhuang Xu's photo, he asked the guards to take Chen Wenhan and Xuesheng into the dungeon to wait for their release, but Youqing was not willing to blink from the beginning to the end. Now that Zhuang Xu's photo was gone, he tilted his head Ask Young Zhi: "Sister, why did you adopt her baby?"

Saying that, Xiaozhi puffed up her face and complained unhappily: "You clearly said that the one born by me is fun, and you will adopt the one born by me in the future!"

Xue Bai raised his brows slightly when he heard the words, and looked sideways, "You were born after adoption?"

Youqing forgot that Xue Bai was still here, hurriedly covered her mouth, and hid behind Xiaozhi guiltily.But not long after, he felt that he couldn't show his timidity, so Xiaoqing poked his head out from behind Xiaozhi again, and said aggressively: "Yes, I have already reserved the little son you want for sister in advance." Already!"

After thinking about it for a while, Youqing added another sentence: "If you hate it as much as you, I will adopt it to my sister in the future!"

"..."

Xue Bai was silent for a long time, and asked him slowly: "You haven't conceived yet, and you already plan to adopt someone else to raise you?"

The author has something to say: Youqingqing→The melon seeds were robbed, and she angrily asked for compensation. My sister asked him for a son, and immediately sent it out happily.

Prince:? ? ?
