Concubine He's heart skipped a beat, and she almost spilled the soup with her hand holding the spoon.

When the officials saw this, they narrowed their eyes.

Concubine He's heart was in a turmoil, and she didn't notice the official's demeanor at all. She only focused on steady movements of her hands, and replied cautiously: "I know what the official said, but I can't do anything about it." matter."

Concubine He paused for a moment and handed the white jade cup to the official. Then she took out the brocade handkerchief, held it on her head with a finger, and wiped it carefully at the end of her eyes, "In the past, it was fine, but now when I see Yongle, that and Concubine Chen is so similar..."

"That's over."

A faint sound fell in Concubine He's ears, but it set off a huge wave. She had to squeeze the brocade handkerchief tightly to restrain the roaring waves in her heart.

Is it really over?

Yes, maybe it is the past for Concubine Chen, and it is the past for you, but it has never passed for her. She is trapped in that day forever, and even dreams about that day at midnight. The blood on the bed, those bone-cold eyes...

Thinking of this, Concubine He's face showed an unprecedented fear.

It was during this moment that the official on the side took a sip of soup and responded: "I know you are suffering in your heart, but even if you cure it, it will be of no use. I now have so many brothers and sisters, and I am very satisfied." ”

Concubine He stood up like a needle, "For the official family, it is satisfying, but for the concubine, it has never been satisfied at all. They are not born to me, and I am like duckweed, wandering alone in the palace, without anything." A place for me to take root!"

After saying that, Concubine He regretted it. She looked at the official whose face turned gloomy, her face suddenly turned pale, and she hurriedly knelt down.

In an instant, everyone in the palace knelt down.

The sound of the rustling clothes and the scraping of the heel made Concubine He's heart beat violently, "Official, please forgive me, I didn't think about it for a moment, I said the wrong thing..."

What responded to her was the crisp sound of porcelain colliding against each other.

The sound was like a sound, hitting Concubine He's heart as densely as drum beats.

Concubine He Fuwei went down and touched her head to the ground. The cold ground was so cold that her whole body felt chilly!

I don't know how long it took before the official spoke up, "Get up, you're right...this palace is indeed not a safe place for childless people like you."

Concubine He's face turned pale for a moment, her mouth trembled, she felt like the sky was falling and the earth was falling, and she couldn't help crying.

The cry was not loud, like the gurgling of a creek, but no one dared to make a sound at this time, so it was very clear.

The official put down the cup and said with a sigh: "I was actually thinking about it before. After all, I am not that big now. I might just stretch out my arms and legs and pass by one day..."

"Guan Jia, you are on par with Heaven..."

The official said: "Listen to what I have to say."

Hearing a deep sound, Concubine He immediately closed her mouth and buried her head in the cracks of the bricks.

When the sound was no longer heard, the official said again: "I was not so sentimental before, but now I heard King Sheng Yi say that there is an auspicious cave a hundred feet away from the late emperor's mausoleum. He asked me to order the cave to be moved, so that his descendants would be blessed... …”

The gentle words made Concubine He's heart tremble with fear.

According to Daxuan practice, the mausoleum of the late emperor was usually built by the Shanling Envoy, who also served as the prime minister, to select the mountains and coordinate the construction.

Even if there is any change, it will still need to be drafted by the officials in charge of Goushan Mausoleum affairs, screened by the prime minister, and submitted to the court for instructions from the officials, who will then make the final decision.

But King Sheng Yi went beyond these public suggestions. He not only questioned the prime minister Xiao Bi who was also the envoy of Shanling at that time, but also a provocation to the current prime minister.

What is King Sheng Yi going to do?

Or what is the saint trying to do?

Will it pave the way for King Ning to succeed to the throne?

Or……

She didn't dare to think about it. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Even Concubine He felt that her face was pale now!

The official's eyes were downcast, and a shadow flashed across Concubine He's eyes like a monster, "I was thinking at that time, what will you do then? You have no children, are you going to sacrifice your life? What do you do? Chaotian Nu?"

Concubine He's body trembled suddenly, she raised her head blankly, and met the official's softened eyes, "Although you can issue an edict, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? If you don't have any children, you have to commit yourself to it. Righteousness is an ancestral rule from ancient times..."

Who can say for sure?

Who dares to disobey an official's decree?

No...if King Ning conquers the throne by then, according to the saint's impeccable temperament, and he knows so many things about her, how can she be left alive and well?

Maybe as soon as the official stretched her legs, she called someone to give her a rope and hanged herself to death.

Concubine He couldn't help but shiver, and her face, which was already covered with powder, became even whiter.

But the official in the wall looked away, slowly stroking his knees and sighing: "So I plan to adopt Kang Cheng into your name, so that you won't be desolate on your knees, and you won't be afraid that you will go to heaven if I pass away in the future. female."

A moment ago, I felt like the world was falling apart.

At this moment, the clouds and mist are cleared away and the moon shines brightly!

Concubine He felt that she had heard wrongly, "Kang...Kang, did the official mean the Six Kings?"

She was arrogant, but the official didn't blame her for her lack of etiquette, and just nodded, "I also have my own considerations. Didn't you just say that I have been seeking medical advice for most of my life, and I have become an adult?" Kang Cheng is a sick doctor. Kang Cheng is not very healthy. He is adopted in your name. You just happened to help me take care of him. And you also know his origin. He was laughed at because his mother was the bedkeeper. Being in your name can be regarded as a feeling of pride... However, these are just my thoughts, it still depends on whether you are willing or not."

Why don't you want to do this!

How could she be afraid of a saint when she had a death-free medal hanging on her body?

She doesn't even have to bow down to the saint anymore!

Concubine He only feels that the future will be bright and bright! She immediately kowtowed three times and said, "I am willing! I will definitely regard Prince Kang as my own, and I will take good care of him."

A Huahu smile appeared on the official's face, he stood up and helped her up, "I believe you... hurry up and eat, the dishes are already cold."

It was already in the afternoon when Shen Nanbao heard the news.

Fengyue was still there sighing, "I don't know how Concubine Shu felt when she heard the news. She was obviously the most favored some time ago. The officials were afraid that Concubine He would become the daughter of the emperor. Aren't they afraid of Concubine Shu?" Lady?"

Spring has begun, and the rabbit-white snow that once covered the world has been turned into water by the sun and melted on the lilacs in front of the window. It looks prosperous, but the wind blowing in the face is still cold and refreshing.

Shen Nanbao then asked people to close the curtain tightly, which was even more airtight than closing the door.

When Fengyue said this, Shen Nanbao didn't care that she didn't have a mouth valve, and just glanced at her, "Do you think it's good to have a child?"

Shen Nanbao smiled and sipped the tea. When he was about to put down the cup, he changed his mind again, "However, having a son means you have the confidence, which is indeed very good."

The words came true, the Concubine Hefei had her own King Kang, and every day she gave the saint morning relief, either a headache or a brain fever, and she just found all kinds of excuses not to go.

In the past, the saint was quite kind and always let her go, but as time passed and the number of times increased, not only the concubine, but also other ladies also followed suit.

Shen Nanbao went to Chen Province several times and encountered the empty Zhengyang Palace.

A saint is a saint after all, and he has to maintain the stability of the mother of a country. It is difficult to show anything, so Emperor Yongfu's face became livid on her behalf, and her usually cold and crisp throat turned into a twisted voice and changed its tone.

"It's a lazy time to hibernate in winter. I can understand it. It's already spring and you're still so lazy. I've never seen anything like this."

Unfortunately, such oblique curses could not make the saint feel better. Instead, he became even more sullen, "How long have you lived? You have never seen a lot."

Emperor Yongfu's face turned pale for a moment.

The saint rolled his eyes and said: "With the change of seasons in spring, it is inevitable to catch the wind and cold. They usually lie down and have delicate bodies, so naturally they cannot bear such friction..."

The saint paused for a moment, then raised his chin to Nanny Qin, "Go to the Imperial Medical College and ask some doctors to take their pulses, then go to the Shangshi Bureau and ask them to distribute some medicines to all the chiefs. Let's take a look and see if there is something wrong with the diet, or if there is something that needs to be adjusted. In short, we can't leave them alone. Although the official family is getting older this year, they are also happy to have more children."

Add more children.

Should he add more children, or use these words to knock the edge of the vat against Concubine He.

But no matter what her mentality was, Concubine He had the confidence to confront the saint with Prince Kang.

Even if the edge of the vat is smashed, Concubine He will never be as low and small as before.

Shen Nanbao could see clearly and became more and more lazy while staying in Fengyang Palace.

As for the sick King Kang, it's strange. Ever since he was adopted by Concubine He, his health has been getting worse day by day. He used to cough incessantly when exposed to the wind, but now let alone the wind, even walking barefoot on the ground, he doesn't feel any pain. cold.

"My servant thought that this was a boast, but I heard someone from the first palace say that it is indeed true. His Royal Highness Prince Kang does not wear socks even in the forbidden area. He only wears them when he is lying down for a while."

Chu Yun said, "It seems that Concubine He is not exaggerating in this matter. She has been ill for a long time. Otherwise, how can we explain that as soon as Prince Kang came to the name of Concubine He, his weak body became stronger and stronger day by day?" Woolen cloth!"

Shen Nanbao was reading by the window, and the pages turned over with a clear and crisp sound. Hearing this, he raised his eyes from the book and smiled, "That's not necessarily true, maybe it's because Concubine He and Brother Six complement each other. Woolen cloth."

When these words reached the saint's ears, she only elicited a slight chuckle from her, "Do the eight characters complement each other?"

Zhengyang Palace always has its curtains hung when no one is around, and no light from the sky comes in. Only sporadic flames flicker on the wall lamps. Therefore, there are many places where candlelight cannot reach. The saint's eyes are quenched from such a place. Refined.

This frightened Emperor Yongfu, who was kneeling below, to the point of trembling with fear.

Aunt Qin, who was standing next to her, seemed to be used to it, her voice was still so calm and steady, "The palace official said, Emperor Yongle has a cautious temperament, and she would never miss a word in front of them, but now she said this." After all, I'm afraid..."
