It was the height of summer when Yu Xiang left, and it was already in the middle of winter and the twelfth lunar month when he came back.

The Ganquan Palace is surrounded by artificially dug lakes. In the spring, summer and autumn, the blue lake is hidden among the vast green trees, and the scenery is intoxicating. However, in winter, the lake water freezes into ice. From a distance, it looks plain and white. It is beautiful, but it makes people cold to the bone.

In the palace, the earth dragon and brazier were set on fire, but Concubine Sun was still wrapped in a fox fur cloak, and her already high and bulging belly was even more astonishingly large. She is beautiful and fair-skinned. She is reclining lazily on the soft couch at this time. Her eyebrows and eyes, which have been stretched out due to the promotion of consecutive months, naturally bring a bit of arrogance and extravagance.

"Niangniang, your belly looks sharp, you must be carrying a little dragon." Mrs. Sun said diligently.

Concubine Sun rubbed her stomach and squinted her eyes with a smile, "Really? It doesn't matter whether it is male or female, this child is a blessing anyway. What is the reason for my sister-in-law entering the palace this time?"

Mrs. Sun hurriedly told her that it would be impossible to take Yuxiang as a concubine instead.

Concubine Sun frowned and said, "It's not good to marry a girl from someone's family, but she is attracted to Yu Xiang? She has already recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan, and her own elder brother is about to quit his job. She has a bad temper, has inconvenience in her legs and feet, and suffers from chronic diseases. What's the benefit of marrying her to Mingjie? Ben Gong can help Mingjie to pick any one that is a hundred times better than her."

"Niang, you don't know, Mingjie likes her to be so strong, and it is more enjoyable to play with. How dare a girl and courtier from a good family let him get close, it is better to marry Yu Xiang and let Mingjie toss for a while. Nianhuahua is angry in his heart. When Mingjie's temperament is stable, let her die suddenly, and let's marry another noble girl who can stand on the stage." Mrs. Sun lowered her voice and replied.

Concubine Sun naturally knew about the nephew's problem, and she helped cover it up. After hearing this, she thought for a moment and felt that it would be good to use Yu Xiang to polish her nephew's temperament. Both the Shen family and the Yu family have been defeated, who cares about Yu Xiang's life and death.

"Okay then, wait until this palace announces that Yuxiang will come and have a look." Concubine Sun waved her hand and asked the palace maid to go to Kunning Palace to invite someone.

She is now the only pregnant woman in the palace, and she was promoted by Cheng Kangdi for two consecutive months. The speed of promotion is rare in the world. Not to mention that the palace concubine beside her had all kinds of envy and hatred towards her, and even she was fluttering about herself, thinking that Cheng Kangdi loved her and her children so much, and she even wanted to ask Cheng Kangdi to make him a prince when he was born. Moreover, she got on the ship of the new emperor one step earlier, even if Cheng Kangdi died, she and the child lived as comfortable and comfortable as the child under the care of the new emperor, and they were unparalleled in wealth.

Therefore, she gradually forgot her duty and did not take the Queen seriously, otherwise she would not have sent a little palace maid to the Kunning Palace to beg someone. If this move is normal, it is simply arrogant and staggering.

Of course, in the past few months when the queen was dormant, she had also endured a lot of similar provocations. In the past, she had endured silently.

Therefore, without waiting for Concubine Sun's maids to step out of the inner hall, she saw the female officials of Kunning Palace striding in and said, "The Empress has issued a decree, scolding Concubine Sun for not knowing the etiquette, the honor and inferiority, and facing the wall in the Ganquan Palace. After thinking about it, you can only get up after kneeling for twelve hours. Empress, please."

The female official bowed and bent down, trying to lead Concubine Sun to the Buddhist hall in the apse. Because every emperor of the Han Dynasty believed in Buddhism, the concubines and concubines in the harem also went to work and set up Buddhist halls in the palace.

The Buddhist hall in Ganquan Palace is next to the Linshui Pavilion. Although the windows on all sides are tightly closed, the north wind continues to blow in through the gaps, and the temperature can freeze a layer of human flesh. Asking Concubine Sun, a pregnant woman who is about to give birth, to kneel down and reflect on herself is equivalent to letting her die.

Hearing this, Concubine Sun was so startled that she almost fell off the soft couch, and Mrs. Sun couldn't believe it. She bluntly said that the Queen's concubine used her power to seek personal gain against the concubine and murdered the emperor's heir, and she went to the imperial court to file a complaint.

The female official did not stop her, and let her and a palace maid run to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Is Niangniang going in by herself or waiting for the emperor to issue an imperial decree?" The female official smiled at Concubine Sun with a very gentle attitude.

"Wait for the emperor!" Concubine Sun said, clutching her stomach, gritted her teeth.

The two were silent for a while, waiting quietly.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Shenyi Park is taking the pulse of Emperor Cheng Kang. Cheng Kangdi suffered from pulmonary stenosis, which is the so-called lung cancer in modern times. He had chest pain and hemoptysis for a long time. Master Kuhui has also visited the palace to see this disease, but there is no way to do it. Pu Shenyi's medical skills and bitter wisdom are only in the middle, but he has a unique skill, which is to hang his life. Although he can't rob people from the king of hell, he can greatly ease the pain and time of death.

Because he only sees a doctor once for one person and never does it twice, Cheng Kangdi did not dare to let him take action unless he was on the verge of death.

"Piao Shenyi, how much time do I have?" After finishing the pulse, Cheng Kangdi said indifferently.

"If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty had been given the medicine of tiger and wolf to damage his blood and essence, he would have four or five years of life expectancy, but now it is not the case. The grass people try hard, at least in May or June, or as long as one or two years, there is no certainty. "Piao Shenyi bluntly confessed.

"The medicine of tigers and wolves damages blood essence." These two words circled on the tip of Cheng Kangdi's tongue. Although his tone was gentle and his expression was calm, his dark eyes contained chilling thoughts of killing.

The medicine prescribed by Concubine Sun could unknowingly raise his interest. He had not been emotional for a long time because of his physical weakness. After having tasted the fierceness of dragons and tigers a few times at Concubine Sun, he thought it was a sign of his initial recovery. In addition, Concubine Sun was pregnant, which proved that his majesty was undiminished. Back then, I was very happy about this for a while, and even raised Concubine Sun's status.

But after learning that Concubine Sun was good at detecting pulses and proficient in pharmacology, he realized that the so-called dragon spirits and tigers were just poisoning, and the so-called breeding dragons was in exchange for his own lifespan. If Sun Concubine didn't know that his illness violated the harmony and prescribed medicine, it would be excusable, but she knew that Sheng Shang was seriously ill and would die and gave such tiger and wolf medicine, just to give herself a splendid future, what she did was tantamount to murder. You rebel.

Emperor Cheng Kang looked forward to Concubine Sun's child so much before, and now he hates it so much, but in order not to frighten the snake, he had to continue to provide her, and he promoted her to the first-rank concubine.

Now that Yu Pinyan is about to return to the court, the crime of cooperating with the prince to force the palace to rebel will be self-defeating. In the past few months, Emperor Chengkang and the crown prince each drew up a list in their hearts. The courtiers on the list were loyal or traitors, reused or beheaded.

A bloody storm was about to break out, and Emperor Chengkang didn't mind using Concubine Sun to sharpen his butcher's knife, so when Mrs. Sun broke into the Hall of Mental Cultivation and shouted her grievance, he waved his sleeves and said coldly, "Beat each of them 30 times. Daban drives out. Bring my will to Concubine Sun, let her kneel, and kneel until the queen is satisfied."

The inner servant was ordered to immediately let the guards catch Mrs. Sun and the palace maid, and smashed it in the open space in front of the palace? The son hit 30 big boards, and immediately sent the female official to Ganquan Palace to issue the decree.

"What? It's impossible! I'm still pregnant with a dragon child, the emperor can't treat me like this! You must be spreading the imperial edict! I want to see the emperor!" He was captured by the maid and pressed directly into the Buddhist hall to sit on the futon.

Because the female official did not allow the palace servants to burn the ground dragon and the brazier in the Buddhist hall, Concubine Sun felt a stomach ache after kneeling for a short time. In addition, the frantic mood could not be calmed down, and a large bloodstain quickly spread on the skirt.

In the Kunning Palace, the queen only smiled lightly when she received a letter from the female official. She stared at the desolate winter scenery outside the window, and she didn't know what to think, and there was endless sadness in her eyes.

Seeing this, Yu Xiang naturally did not dare to wait any longer, and ordered Taohong Liulu to push a wheelchair, and after sitting, she had to leave.

The queen herself got up to help her and asked, "Didn't you say that the leg injury has been cured? Why do you still need a wheelchair?"

"Returning to Niangniang, it's a long way to go to the Western Border, but because of the unbearable fatigue and broken bones, now I can only walk half a day every day, and the rest of the day still needs to be pushed by the girls."

The queen experienced this kind of strife and betrayal, and she liked people like Yu Xiang more and more. In the eyes of ordinary people, Yu Xiang's actions are tantamount to betrayal and shocking the world, but in the eyes of the queen, it is a repayment of love and righteousness, not to mention harshness, it is too late to reward.

The queen said several times, "I'm sorry for you", and told her to come to the palace to play often in the future, so she ordered Mammy Song to send her out.

Yu Xiang did not leave immediately after leaving the palace gate, but ordered the driver to park the carriage on the side of the road and wait for Mrs. Sun, who was being tortured.

Tao Hong and Liu Lu broke out in a cold sweat, and only at this time did they dare to take out the handkerchief to wipe it, and whispered, "Let the pregnant woman who is pregnant in seven or eight months kneel in the Buddha hall in this cold weather, if Concubine Sun really has a miscarriage , the Empress may be criticized by court officials and wives."

"Criticize? Let them criticize it." Yu Xiang blew the dust sticking to Kodan, smiling ironically, "It is precisely because the empress was so virtuous and kind, that she would let the little girl down after she lost power. The little palace concubine rode on her head and ran wild. She endured and pretended for a lifetime, but in the end, she ended up being banned by a son. Although she was abolished, it was enough to make people feel chilling. Once forced to a desperate situation, Even the most benevolent person will show the darkest side. Niang Niang wants to see blood now, so I just handed her a knife. However, Concubine Sun is a talented person, not only offended Niang Niang, but also offended the emperor to death. I don't know what the hell she did."

Yu Xiang put her hands into the sleeves to cover it with heat, her eyes showing contemplation.

"It doesn't matter what she did, in short, after today, I don't know if there will be Concubine Sun in the future." Liu Lu said worriedly, "It's just that the Empress made a raft with you, and the news spread, you That reputation is even worse."

Yu Xiang didn't feel bothered when he heard the words, but chuckled lightly, "I threw away the reputation thing 800 years ago. The Empress did make me a raft, but I have to thank her. Think about it. , this matter spreads, who will dare to provoke me in the capital in the future?"

Even the concubine Sun, who was the favorite of the sixth palace, had such a miserable end, and those who wanted to trouble their masters in the future must weigh whether they are enough. Liu Lu laughed when he thought that this was indeed the case.

Taohong kept staring at the palace gate, and then shouted, "The Sun family's carriage has come out."
