Harem.
Concubine Shu's bedroom.
Xiao Mei should have been happy since she found out that Eunuch Lu was back, but when she thought of her eldest brother dying on the battlefield, she felt very depressed.
What she was even more helpless about was that her child was about to be born, but she had not yet met her good eldest brother.
From now on, in the harem, without the support of her mother-in-law, I am afraid she will be bullied even more.
Now, without a backstage, the only one he relies on is probably the child in his belly. But once something happens to the child, he really doesn't have any advantage.
Now Queen Shangguan Feng'er is also pregnant. Compared with herself, at least she still has her mother's family and her own good father, the general.
"Oh... my child, I really hope you are a boy, so that you don't have to be wronged or looked down upon by others."
"Kid, you have to keep up the good work."
Xiao Mei touched the child in her belly with a look of expectation on her face. She only hoped that she would get her wish.
Otherwise, the mood will be really bad and bad.
At this moment, her maid walked in cautiously and whispered: "Mother, Eunuch Lu is here."
"Look, do you want to meet me?"
"Ah?" Xiao Mei was stunned for a moment, why is Eunuch Lu here?
I thought that after Eunuch Lu came back, His Majesty would not be so worried, and then he would be able to have a good relationship with him.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty still didn't.
In these days, except for the day when she learned the news of her eldest brother's death, Xiao Mei had not heard a word of concern from His Majesty.
It's like he doesn't want to pay attention to himself at all.
It was clear that she was pregnant with a dragon species, but His Majesty did not care.
Fortunately, His Majesty also treats the Queen equally.
Even the other concubines in the harem were just like him, showing no care or pampering at all.
Could it be that His Majesty is really sick again?
Now that Eunuch Lu has come to see him, he must not neglect him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mei quickly said: "Quick, let Eunuch Lu come in quickly."
"good."
After a while, Lu Yun walked into the palace and saw Xiao Mei sitting on the stool, looking charming.
Lu Yun has become accustomed to it, but I have to say that Xiao Mei is becoming more and more interesting after not seeing him for a long time.
Especially after pregnancy, that mature charm becomes even more prominent.
"Eunuch Lu, why are you here?"
Xiao Mei smiled, but Lu Yun could also see that she was not happy, but looked very bad.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come and visit me."
"Your Majesty said that your Majesty has been worried and in a very bad mood in recent days. Your Majesty thought that you should be concerned."
"But... things went against our wishes. His Majesty has never been able to take care of it because of state affairs, so he is very apologetic."
How could Xiao Mei believe such nonsense? As the Emperor, His Majesty, no matter how busy he is, there is no need to spare any time to visit him.
Looking at myself and the fetus in my belly, it won’t take long, right?
So this is simply a lie. There is no way His Majesty doesn't have time and he can't be so busy. It's just Eunuch Lu who is trying to make things up for him.
I have to say that Eunuch Lu is still very considerate of His Majesty, and he is worthy of being a popular person around His Majesty.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mei couldn't help but sigh, "Eunuch Lu, there are no outsiders here. Let us just tell the truth between you and me. His Majesty didn't ask you to come."
"Even if His Majesty asked you to come, Your Majesty wouldn't have said that. Your Majesty, in fact, you still don't want to see me."
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained, "This is what I thought in my heart, but he just didn't say it out loud. After all, you know that His Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he also has face."
"So I can just say these words, empress."
Xiao Mei rubbed her belly and sighed helplessly, "I understand."
"Eunuch Lu, you've worked hard too. After all, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we in Dazhou would be in danger."
"These barbarians are so abominable!"
Lu Yun sighed and explained, "Concubine Shu, don't be too sad. We didn't expect what happened to General Xiao He."
"We have dealt with his killers and avenged him."
"Shu Fei, I am also responsible for this matter. If I had killed Du Ruofu earlier, this matter would not have happened."
"I have to say, this guy Du Ruofu is really hateful."
"It's a pity that I didn't find his body on the battlefield. Later, I asked someone to ask, but it seemed that it was dumped in the wilderness. It was impossible to tell the difference between them."
Hearing this, Xiao Mei felt even more sad. She never thought that her good brother could not find his body. What should he do?
We are all human beings, and we naturally have our own obsession in our hearts, that is, after death, we need to be buried in peace and find the bodies of our family members.
"I tried my best, Concubine Shu."
Xiao Mei said helplessly: "Forget it, my eldest brother can die on the battlefield and be wrapped in horse leather. This is also a kind of recognition for him."
"It's not easy for my eldest brother to be buried together with the soldiers who fought through life and death."
Thinking of this, Xiao Mei felt a little calmer and relieved.
"By the way, Eunuch Lu, we're going to a dangerous place. Are you okay? After all, you're going there alone."
Lu Yun shook his head and explained softly: "I'm fine, empress."
"I must have my own confidence in returning safely."
At this time, Xiao Mei suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "By the way, Eunuch Lu, have you helped His Majesty to see a doctor? His Majesty's body and bones have not been as strong as before in recent times."
"I suspect that His Majesty has suffered from the same symptoms as before, so he has been very indifferent to the concubines in our harem."
"Eunuch Lu, I know you have a lot of experience in this area, why don't you help him take a look."
"This..." Lu Yun hesitated for a moment, thinking that the emperor had nothing to do in the first place, and it was not because he didn't show you any favors before he left.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely help you take a good look at it."
"Thank you, Eunuch Lu."
At this time, Xiao Mei's face turned red, she glanced a little embarrassed, and said to Lu Yun: "Eunuch Lu, do you still remember what happened between us before we left?"
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, no way, this girl, could it be possible that she told the emperor about this?
Of course, Liang Jing would not be angry, after all, he knew everything he did.
"I don't know what your Majesty meant by what I just said?"
Xiao Mei smiled awkwardly and explained with some embarrassment, "Well...I haven't had one for a long time..."
