Jiankang, the secret room of Daming Tower.
This place is not only a secret spot of Jinyiwei, but also the location of the Jinyiwei Sixth Division's Zhenfu Division. All enemy spies captured by Jinyiwei from all over the country are secretly detained here and interrogated secretly.
"I've seen the beginning of the line!"
Wearing a red smoke-patterned green shirt and a white skirt with scattered flowers, a woman with mist-like hair on her temples walked lightly into the secret room. The hem of her dark dress was connected with overlapping triangular decorative cloths, and it was tied around her waist. It is tied with an apron, and many long streamers protrude from the bottom of the apron. It is extremely luxurious.
The woman in the woman's miscellaneous train wears a white magnolia jade hairpin diagonally, her face is delicate and beautiful, her eyebrows are like spring water, and she moves softly and elegantly, making her more dynamic and rhythmic.
The woman passed through the layers of defense in the secret room and reached the deepest part without any hindrance. Finally, she stopped outside an interrogation room: "Tan is so elegant in her work, and she actually did it herself today."
"As the head of the line?" The person who executed the execution was Tan Daoji from the Zhenfu Division. He was not only the head of the Zhenfu Division, but also served in the Youshenwu Army of the Forbidden Army.
This woman with outstanding grace and appearance, whose face did not change when she saw the inhuman prisoners who were tortured all over their bodies but whose heart did not beat, was the shopkeeper of Jiankang Daming Tower, and was called Ruying at the head of the line.
Tan Daoji wiped his hands with a handkerchief and left the interrogation room with heavy steps. When he passed by Ruying, he asked: "What's going on outside?"
"There was a message from Warden Chen Si that Liu Yan was arrested." Ruying followed Tan Daoji into an isolated secret room and said slowly when seeing no one around.
Tan Daoji was unmoved and took a sip of tea. The Jinyiwei also captured a few of the Eagle Dog Division's secret agents. Unfortunately, only one spoke, and the rest committed suicide by taking poison. The Zhenfu Division had only valuable information in its hands. One thing is that the biggest leader of the Eagle and Dog Division currently lurking in Jiankang City is Captain Liu Yan.
"Has Liu Yan spoken?"
"He was recruited less than an hour after entering Jiankang Prison."
"Yes, Chen Si did not come here in vain!" Tan Daoji smiled.
However, Ruying's next words made him unable to sit still.
"Liu Yan confessed that Nie Zhen'er, the maid in the general's palace, is the Eagle Envoy of the Eagle Dog Department, and all the fine works of the Qin State in Jiankang are under her control."
Ruying was shocked when she first got the news, but she soon felt relieved. After all, the Jinyiwei had no less than a hundred agents, spies and killers in Jiankang, and the Sixth Division and the First Division's Town and Fu Division were all in Jiankang.
Tan Daoji was in trouble, and he said with a grimace: "My lord is away at war, and my wife is pregnant. Nothing should happen to the general's house! If we go in with great fanfare to arrest someone, and alert the lady, we will not be able to afford the consequences if something goes wrong!"
"What Mr. Tan said is that the lord has only one wife and has not even taken a concubine. The child in the wife's belly is very likely to be the lord's heir. We cannot afford such a loss!"
"It's better to trick Nie Zhen'er out of the house so that we can take action."
"No!" Tan Daoji raised his hand and objected: "I went to contact Huangmen Ling Hua Fuzi and said that Madam wants to enter the palace to ask for an audience with the Queen Mother. As long as Madam enters the palace and allows Nie Zhener to use her methods, I am afraid it will be difficult to get wings this time. escape!"
"It's Tan who is thoughtful and considerate." Ruying was deeply favored by Xu Zongwen, so she naturally didn't want anything to happen to Huan Xianrong.
"This is as it should be."
Tan Daoji originally served as a Sima in the You Shenwu Army. After being implicated by Wang Chen, the entire You Shenwu Army was reorganized. However, because he was recommended by Xu Zongwen, he is now the commander and controls the You Shenwu Army.
Therefore, when the Forbidden Army of Taiwan Province was changing defenses, Tan Daoji often met with Huangmen Ling Hua Fuzi. He knew that Hua Fuzi also supported the general.
Not only did Hua Fuzi support the general, the Queen Mother was also the general's support in Jiankang. As far as he knew, it was the general's contribution to the Queen Mother's ability to listen to politics behind the curtain!
Such a trivial matter as Huan Xianrong entering the palace is almost not difficult.
"I will arrange the specific matters today. For example, the trip will continue as usual. Please inquire more about the movements of the noble officials in Jiankang City. We must not let the Lord be constrained by the court during the war!" Tan Daoji said seriously.
Ruying naturally understood, and she quickly left the secret room and returned to Daming Tower without stopping for a word.
Different from other mansions, under the plaque of Linhe County Duke's Mansion, there is also a plaque attached to the General's Mansion of Peking University. On both sides of the gate are the calligraphy treasures given by the Queen Mother Chen: The Gancheng of the country and the pillar stone of the country.
In the backyard of the mansion, Nie Zhen'er left Huan Xianrong's room and went to the corridor in a blink of an eye. She meandered in a circle to the small building in the other courtyard. In addition to the Wolf Guard, there were also Jinyi Weiliu who were responsible for guarding the mansion. The guards in Division 1 were elite, but no one stopped Nie Zhener.
It is almost no secret that Nie Zhen'er has long been regarded as Xu Zongwen's concubine in the Knight Cavalry Army.
After all, Nie Zhen'er had already been responsible for Xu Zongwen's daily life before Huan Xianrong. There was a man and a woman living together in the same room. If there was really nothing between the two of them, no one would believe it.
Xu Zongwen was accustomed to this, and Huan Xianrong was generous, so he naturally didn't care. Instead, he persuaded Xu Zongwen several times to accept Nie Zhen'er and give him a title, but Xu Zongwen didn't agree for some reason.
"Miss Zhen'er is going to cook by herself again?" The guard guarding the corridor greeted Nie Zhen'er with a smile.
Nie Zhen'er's smile was as bright as a flower: "Yes! Madam said she wanted something sour, so I was thinking of making some hawthorn cakes to appetize Madam."
"I heard that pregnant women who like to eat sour food must be pregnant with a boy. My lord has a wife, and we have a young master!" The guard also smiled. My lord has a wife, and they, as subordinates, will naturally have one. Look forward to it, and follow it.
After chatting with the guards for a while, Nie Zhener turned around and entered the other courtyard...
In the afternoon of the same day, Huan Xianrong was driven into the Xianyang Hall where the Queen Mother lived by a sedan chair from the palace.
"Queen Mother, it's not good! The Duke's wife has a severe abdominal pain, it seems something serious has happened!" As soon as Queen Mother Chen left the main palace, the maidservants knelt outside the threshold and cried sadly.
"What?" Queen Mother Chen naturally knew that this matter was very relevant and immediately ordered: "Hurry and ask the imperial doctor from the Imperial Medical Office to come and check for pulse!"
"Where is Madam now?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, the Huahuang Sect has arranged to move into the Qingshu Palace nearby..." The maid lowered her head, fearing that she would be implicated.
"Let's go to Qingshu Palace with me."
Soon, Huan Xianrong's condition was under control, which made the worried Empress Dowager Chen feel relieved.
Queen Mother Chen was very enthusiastic. She took Huan Xianrong to ask if he was feeling unwell, and then invited the imperial doctor to check his pulse and ask questions.
For some reason, the imperial doctor ordered that there was no point-mao. After careful investigation, Hua Fuzi learned that the imperial physician ordered his mother to mourn. The old man died at the age of eighty-six. His request for leave from Taiwan Province had not been approved. After learning this, Empress Dowager Chen did not blame her, but because The imperial doctor ordered Zhixiao to reward him with many tributes.
"Madam's pulse is stable, nothing serious. The sudden colic is probably caused by too much bumps..."
After verification, Huangmen ordered Hua Fuzi to tell the truth.
Queen Mother Chen couldn't help but cursed: "Absurd!"
"As long as Madam takes good care of her, she will be able to give birth to two fetuses in the spring of next year..." The person who diagnosed Huan Xianrong's pulse was also Dr. Huang who worked in the Imperial Medical Office. This Dr. Huang was older than his destiny and his medical skills were as good as those of the imperial physician.
"Two fetuses?" Empress Dowager Chen realized it later and looked happy. She took Huan Xianrong's hand and shouted "hello" several times.
Huang Taiyi put away the pulse pillow and said in detail: "Madam's six pulses are smooth and smooth, and the Shaoyin pulse is strengthened, and she has stopped menstruating for a long time. This is nourishing the blood and gathering the fetus. The fetal qi incites the kidney qi, causing the ulnar pulse to slide and be strong. …”
"When I checked my wife's chi pulse just now, my pulse was smooth and strong. Logically speaking, my wife only had this pulse condition in the fourth month of her pregnancy. Now it is shown that my wife's body is different from ordinary people. The left disease is male and the right disease is female. Both are The disease is giving birth to two sons, so the official concluded that the wife is pregnant with twins of a dragon and a phoenix!" When Huang Taiyi finished speaking, the medicine box used for visiting the doctor had also been packed away.
Huan Xianrong smiled and stretched out his hand to touch his abdomen: "It would be a happy event if I could give birth to twins for my husband."
Immediately, Huan Xianrong thought of the folk saying that twins were unlucky. She did not shy away from it and told Empress Dowager Chen directly.
Empress Dowager Chen saw Huan Xianrong's beautiful eyebrows frowning slightly. She quickly smiled and comforted her and said, "Didn't the imperial doctor tell you just now? You are pregnant with twins, twins, not ordinary twins. There is no need to worry."
After that, Empress Dowager Chen talked about the time when she was pregnant with the young emperor, and shared her parenting experience with Huan Xianrong.
