A few days ago, Emperor Jingshun was in a terrible mood.
Going to Tienwang Mountain to fight the siege was originally a good way to relax, but the Tatars drove them into a panic and fled back to the capital in embarrassment.
This made Emperor Jingshun regard it as a great shame and humiliation.
But this was not over yet. Next, the Tatars besieged the capital again and plundered without success.
It was like pressing his face to the ground and rubbing it.
Even so, he still had to agree to the suggestion of inviting a horse market.
This made Emperor Jingshun feel that even if he killed a minister of the Ministry of War, it would not relieve his depression.
It wasn't until these days that a piece of news made him overjoyed.
Clear away the previous haze.
That is, Concubine Xiande of Fengzao Palace may be pregnant.
After knowing the news, Emperor Jingshun would go and visit whenever he was free.
Asking questions and giving him the highest level of care.
Even if the imperial doctor says that the month is too young, it is still impossible to confirm whether she is pregnant.
The possibility of excessive shock leading to menstrual disorders cannot be ruled out.
But Emperor Jingshun still wanted to believe that Concubine Xiande was there!
In addition to the experience of people who have experienced it, all symptoms of Yuanchun are consistent with pregnancy reactions.
Also, he longed for heirs.
I've been looking forward to it for so long!
After a long time, I started to feel a little desperate.
It’s been a long time, and I’m going to train my younger brother as his heir!
But as soon as the news came out, hope rekindled in Emperor Jingshun's heart.
The haze of the Tatar border has been mostly dispelled!
Now that he thought about it, the Tatars just looted and retreated like the tide.
It will not shake his empire.
And having no one to inherit him is his biggest worry!
It sounds good, but it is a helpless choice.
No matter who reaches this level, he will eventually be unwilling to do so!
Unexpectedly, this trip to the Iron Fence Mountain siege would be nothing but humiliating.
There is such a surprising harvest!
If the prince is born successfully...
No!
It should be said that as long as she is really pregnant, it means he is okay!
During the siege, Emperor Jingshun only brought one concubine, Yuanchun, to accompany him due to etiquette reasons.
I only came into contact with him once on the second day on the road.
But just that short shiver was enough for him to regain his confidence.
In the past few days, he has favored several concubines one after another.
I almost emptied my body.
I just hope something good like this can happen again.
The seeds have been planted, whether there will be another harvest depends on God's will.
But Concubine Xian De's pregnancy already made him smile every day.
If a boy can be successfully born, he can have descendants.
Then he can raise his head and become the emperor!
All this was naturally seen by Xia Bingzhong who was accompanying him.
Xia Bingzhong originally thought that he was just trying to save his godson's future.
Only then did he conceal the fact that Feng Yibo and Yuan Chun came back alone.
But now it involves the issue of the emperor's heir!
This made him feel uneasy, fearing that Emperor Jingshun would notice something unusual.
After thinking of certain possibilities, his first reaction was not to confess.
Because there is no benefit in that, and you may only lose the trust of Emperor Jingshun!
His first reaction was that this was an opportunity.
A chance to determine the next emperor!
Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, as long as there is any trouble, the Feng Jia family will not be able to bear it!
Xia Bingzhong thought that as long as he could control Feng Yibo and Yuan Chun.
When Yuanchun gives birth to a prince, his power will be smoothly extended to the next generation.
Instead of relying on the remaining power of the Supreme Emperor like Dai Quan.
on one's last legs!
Dai Quan was the former eunuch of the Sixth Palace. When he was at his most powerful, he was called the internal minister.
But now, if the Supreme Emperor was not still alive, he would have been stepped on and rubbed under his feet.
By seizing the opportunity in the future like this, Xia Bingzhong naturally doesn't want to let it go!
You know, he is only a few years older than Emperor Jingshun.
Although he looks a bit old, he is actually still less than forty.
There’s no telling who will go first!
And no matter how loyal you are, it can't compare to your own future.
What's more, speculation without evidence will only make Emperor Jingshun more likely to alienate him.
Then why bother being a villain?
Because of this, Xia Bingzhong chose this time.
Block Feng Yibo.
I wanted to intimidate him into submission.
Once Feng Yibo is controlled, it will be easy to control Yuan Chun in the future.
But what Xia Bingzhong didn't expect was that things would develop to this point.
His heart at this time was really complicated and difficult to describe.
For a moment, Feng Yibo was re-examined in his mind.
I originally thought that this Feng Yuan was just an upstart official who was good at maneuvering.
As long as he threatens her a little, she will beg for mercy regardless of whether she has an affair with Concubine Xian De.
Surrender at His feet.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yuan looked like he would risk his life for the sake of fame.
This made Xia Bingzhong a little unexpected, and now he is even more difficult to get off.
Because what he wants is the future, but Feng Yibo looks like he will die together.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, he didn't dare to bet.
At this moment, Xia Bingzhong was taken advantage of!
There was a lot of tugging, anger and shouting of bluff.
Feng Yibo was also a little tired.
If it weren't for him, any other civil servant would probably be exhausted at this time.
However, the exhaustion is worth it.
After wasting a long time, Feng Yibo finally took the initiative.
If it wasn't so intense, I'm afraid the old guy Xia Bingzhong would have caught him.
Then he and Yuanchun will be led by the nose and left as they please.
Seeing that Xia Bingzhong was beginning to hesitate at this time, Feng Yibo immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued it.
Don't give him a chance to hesitate!
He immediately asked, "Are you trying to blackmail me with this?"
Having his thoughts exposed directly made Xia Bingzhong feel a little embarrassed to respond.
Feng Yibo immediately tried to pull the strings, but Xia Bingzhong had to give in and said:
"No, no, I'm just worried in case..."
"just in case?"
Feng Yibo's eyes widened and he interrupted Xia Bingzhong's words.
He just wanted to keep disrupting the opponent's rhythm so that Xia Bingzhong had no room to resist.
Just now, the two of them were competing to see who could retreat first!
Feng Yibo was betting with his life that Xia Bingzhong would not dare to confess to Emperor Jingshun!
Now that Xia Bingzhong has taken a step back, Feng Yibo must turn around.
Xia Bingzhong responded with an embarrassed look:
"Just in case..."
Seeing that he was already soft, Feng Yibo immediately became a little harder and said decisively:
"Not even in case!"
Once Xia Bingzhong gave in, he suddenly fell into disarray.
He simply softened to the end and said:
"What if it doesn't happen! Okay?"
Seeing Feng Yibo about to make another move, Xia Bingzhong quickly forced out an ugly smile and explained:
"I'm just afraid that others will find out and say that the two of us jointly deceived Shengting. Then we will have nothing to say and we won't be able to explain clearly."
This means that once you start to retreat, you will no longer be as arrogant as before.
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have agreed to Eunuch Xia's request!"
Feng Yibo gave up as soon as he saw the good news, and immediately looked regretful.
It seemed like he had been deceived by Xia Bingzhong!
He said bitterly:
"I'm not giving you face!"
Xia Bingzhong originally just made a guess without any evidence, but he was intimidated by Feng Yibo's momentum.
At this time, I could only accompany him and say carefully:
"Yes, yes, we are all our own people. Isn't this also a reminder to Captain Feng, lest anyone make a fuss about it?"
Seeing Feng Yibo's hesitation, Xia Bingzhong added:
"Now that our family is convinced of Captain Feng's innocence, we can feel more at ease, right?"
What he wanted was to give in temporarily and make long-term plans when he went back.
Anyway, things are there, and sooner or later they can be found.
"snort!"
Hearing this, Feng Yibo snorted coldly.
He finally let go of Xia Bingzhong's hand, but still didn't give him a good look.
He glanced sideways at Xia Bingzhong and still said bitterly:
"I really didn't expect that Eunuch Xia would disappoint me so much!"
Xia Bingzhong was stunned when he said this, and thought to himself: Are you really interested in our family?
"It is in vain that I have always been grateful to Eunuch Xia. When I was just a young beauty, Eunuch Xia helped choose Mr. Xue as my wife."
This is what I was talking about!
This was the first time the two came into contact, and Xia Bingzhong breathed a sigh of relief.
At least there was no mention of meeting the Holy Spirit again.
"Now that we are married, my husband and I are in harmony with each other, which makes me even more grateful!"
When it comes to gratitude, Feng Yibo once again said:
"That's why, in order to feel that Eunuch Xia is helpful, every time during the holidays or even when I go out on errands, I never forget my father-in-law's share!"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Bingzhong couldn't help but blush.
Because Feng Yibo not only gives them during the New Year, but also gives them when he comes back from business trips.
Everything given is valuable.
There are even some things that even the palace may not be as good as what he gives.
"I have always felt that human hearts are made of flesh, and relationships are mutual."
When Feng Yibo saw his expression, he lost the intensity just now.
Instead, there was a hint of resentment in his words, and he continued:
"Now that I think about it, I thought it was a way of repaying a favor and walking around like family and friends."
Xia Bingzhong was really hesitant when he was told what was being said at this time.
Even for a moment I couldn't tell the truth from the lie.
Because the Feng family never stopped giving gifts, but they rarely asked him to do things.
The few who ask for help from him are rewarded in other ways.
Never failed him once.
His cronies were all envious of him for being so generous.
Xia Shouzhong also suggested many times that he should open his mouth and make a few hard strokes.
Although Xia Bingzhong didn't agree, he just wanted to keep the water flowing.
In addition, Feng Yibo rarely asked for anything from him, so he had no such opportunity.
But now that I hear it and think of those thoughts, it is indeed not like maintaining a normal relationship.
Instead, it was more like visiting relatives.
However, Xia Bingzhong didn't return the greeting.
"well!"
At this time, Feng Yibo sighed and continued:
"But in Eunuch Xia's eyes, he regards me as a villain who wants to follow others' influence?"
When he said this, it seemed as if all his sincerity was poured out.
That's a sad thing!
"That's why you think I can do something like that to take advantage of others' danger!"
At this moment, Feng Yibo's eyes were full of grievance, and his eyes were even a little red.
Just looking at Xia Bingzhong, he asked:
"Right?"
This rhetorical question was like Du Juan crying for blood, making Xia Bingzhong feel as if he had done something wrong.
He quickly denied it and said:
"No, no, Captain Feng misunderstood!"
After saying that, I felt something was wrong again.
It's a pity that Feng Yibo didn't give him time to think about it, and then said:
"I think from now on, it's okay if we don't move around!"
At this time, he looked tired, and he performed the image of an emotionally frustrated person very penetratingly.
"well!"
Then, he sighed again and said very emotionally:
"From now on, it would be better if there is no more involvement in our relationship!"
Xia Bingzhong didn't know why, but felt that he couldn't let Feng Yibo go.
All he could think of was correcting his posture, admitting his mistake, and said quickly:
"No, no, no! It's true that I was rude about this, and I hope Captain Feng can forgive me!"
"All right!"
Feng Yibo looked embarrassed, pondered for a moment, and then continued:
"Now that you said so, the matter ends here."
"Okay, okay!"
Xia Bingzhong was forgiven and he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just as he relaxed, Feng Yibo continued:
"But if there are any rumors, I will drag my father-in-law to the Holy One and ask for innocence!"
At this time, Xia Bingzhong's emotions had been completely aroused. Hearing this, he immediately said anxiously:
"do not!"
Feng Yibo shook his head and said without any hesitation:
"Eunuch Xia, please take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he turned around, leaving only a lonely figure behind.
He calmly left the quiet room.
Looking at Feng Yibo's back, a trace of doubt flashed in Xia Bingzhong's eyes.
What happened to you just now?
Feng Yibo's reaction was so intense that he was caught off guard.
Not only did the original goal fail to be achieved, but an entire army was defeated by the opponent.
In the end, there was a loss of progress and retreat, and Feng Yibo easily captured his emotions.
"Tsk! It's hard to tell the truth from the lie!"
After Xia Bingzhong pondered for a moment, he shook his head and murmured:
"I don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet. I'm still a little too hasty."
"However, I didn't expect this Feng Yuan to be so strong. Am I just trying to scare the snake away?"
After hesitating for a long time, Xia Bingzhong walked out of the clean room and sighed:
"It seems that we can only put it aside for now and talk about it in the future."
On the other side, Feng Yibo felt a little exhausted as soon as he got in the car.
Just exerting force is one thing, and psychological factors are another.
Such a stressful and exciting thing is difficult for anyone to handle.
Although Xia Bingzhong was temporarily frightened, there was no guarantee that he would not repeat himself.
He must think of a countermeasure!
As for other people's criticism, he is not worried.
Because no matter whether it is true or false, not everyone can know the royal secrets.
No, we have to find a way to shut Xia Bingzhong's mouth.
Otherwise this matter will never go away.
unless……
Feng Yibo thought about it and came up with some ideas.
As soon as I got off the car, the doorman came over to report:
"Sir, Manager Chen is back and waiting for you in the side hall."
It’s just the right time for the dog to come back!
Feng Yibo nodded and ordered his attendant Dabo:
"Let Gouzi come to the study to talk."
As soon as Gouzi arrived in the study, he said with a happy face:
"Congratulations! Little master... ah no, I am very happy!"
Feng Yibo thought he was talking about getting married to Baochai, so he smiled and said:
"I didn't ask you to come back because I didn't want to expose too much. I know what you mean."
"My father told me about Madam, so I should congratulate you!"
Gouzi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said:
"But if I changed my tune, sir, didn't you guess what a happy event it was?"
"Um?"
Feng Yibo was still thinking about Xia Bingzhong, but he didn't pay attention to Gouzi's change of mouth.
Gouzi saw him stunned and knew that he didn't react, so he smiled and said:
"Congratulations on becoming a father!"
Feng Yibo was confused for a moment and blurted out:
"how do you know?"
Gouzi scratched his head inexplicably and said doubtfully:
"Second Grandma is in Liuqiu, shouldn't I know?"
"What?"
