Two days later, the gates of the capital finally opened again, and the people who had been nervous for several days finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even a sigh of relief was the civil and military officials of the court.

A few days ago, rumors spread that the reason why Feiyuwei came out was not to capture some rebellious parties, but to look for the emperor, but to disappear.

Of course, this is just rumor, and no one admits that the news was spread by him.

Although this news is secret, Mao Yuanmei was punished after her death. The double-sided drum made of human skin was at the gate of Jingzhao Yamen. It was also said that Mao Yuanmei's tribe members had eaten a kind of meat foam. The meat foam was made of Mao Yuanmei's life root, and Mao Yuanjiu ate the most. The eunuch from the palace was monitoring him, and he couldn't even eat it.

So all kinds of guesses surged out like bamboo shoots after the rain, and like a hundred flowers blooming, competing for beauty.

As the city gate opened, news finally came from the palace that the emperor was ill in the dragon body!

The emperor is sick, so the emperor has not attended morning court for many days. Whether you believe it or not, I will tell me what I believe it!

As for what disease the emperor had, outsiders had no idea, so the Imperial Hospital kept silent.

The emperor's illness was coming in great force and lasted for many days, which made the court officials remember the poor man who was the emperor's father, the prince who had been the prince for a lifetime, and was only posthumously named the emperor by his son after his death.

The prince back then was weak and sickly since childhood, and he was also lingering when he grew up.

But today, Zi was soaked in a honeypot. Although he had been nurturing, there was no news of illness since he was a child. In the impression, his dragon body has always been healthy, whether he was the emperor or ascending the throne as the emperor.

Of course, even if he is sick, the Empress Dowager will not be known.

He had to be different from his father. He had to be as strong as Emperor Taizu when he was young. It was just because he was too young and the Empress Dowager was spoiled by him, so he did not take power.

But now, the little emperor finally fell ill. The disease came as soon as he said it, but he left without saying it.

Although the emperor was sick, good news came out in the palace.

In the third month of the emperor's illness, news of Concubine Mao's pregnancy finally came out of the palace.

Calculate the day, it was the emperor who was pregnant before he became ill.

There are special people in the palace to record the time and times when the concubines serve in bed. For more than half a year, the emperor has only been to Concubine Mao. Just before the emperor got sick, he stayed in Concubine Mao's Moonhua Palace for many days.

It’s a joyful congratulations. After the last time Concubine Lin Shu’s child died, good news finally came out in the palace.

But this good news did not make the emperor on the sickbed better. On the sixth day of the second month of the following year, the mountain collapsed!

The city was covered with mourning and the streets were crying. In just over a decade, the Great Qi Dynasty sent away three emperors.

In Yuehua Palace, Concubine Mao, who was sent back crying in front of the coffin, slowly opened her eyes. She touched her stuffed belly and let out a long breath.

"The queen is here!"

Concubine Mao sat up. She was five months pregnant and had a heavy body. When she saw the queen walking in, she struggled to salute the queen.

The queen said lightly: "You don't have to be too polite with you."

As he said that, the queen looked at the palace maid eunuch in the room and said, "You all go out. I feel uncomfortable and want to say a few words to the imperial concubine."

When everyone stepped out, the queen said, "You are a little over-pretending. A five-month-old pregnant woman is not as bulky as you."

Concubine Mao burst into laughter and asked, "Have you found that child?"

The queen said: "There are now five wives from the Yang family living in the villa outside the city, all of which are about the same month as you."

The smile on Concubine Mao's face faded, and a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes: "Oh, there will be five more unjust souls."

No matter which of these five women in the end gave birth to a child, these five people will die.

As for those unselected children, both men and women, they are all flesh and blood of the Yang family. Although they do not have their biological mothers, they will grow up under the wings of their father and their legitimate mother.

It just made their biological mother suffer. They were not even concubines, either maids or outdoor rooms. They were like a drop of water in the sun, disappearing without a trace, as if they had never been there.

The queen smiled coldly and mocked her: "You'd better worry about yourself. Do you think you can survive after giving birth to a prince?"

Concubine Mao smiled again, and she said, "Empress, didn't we think of all this at the beginning? Don't forget that if there is no Empress in this strategy, it will be difficult to achieve it with the concubine alone. How can the concubine's abilities be comparable to the Empress?"

The queen's heart sank, Concubine Mao was threatening her.

"What do you mean by saying this? I don't need you to remind me." A cruel look flashed in the queen's eyes.

"Oh, I am just worried that the Empress will forget the agreement between you and me that day." Speaking of this, the smile on Concubine Mao disappeared. Her appearance was extremely charming, but at this moment, it made people shudder, "Empress, I don't want to die. You are the Empress Dowager. My emperor's biological mother will naturally be named Empress Dowager, but I will definitely be one level lower than you. By then, you are still above you and me. But by that time, the Empress Dowager is still above you and me. She is the god. You and I are all at your fingertips. When she sneezes, we will disappear. Empress, do you think so?"

The queen gritted her teeth. Concubine Mao was right. She didn't want to face the Empress Dowager alone, but at this time, it was time to face it.

As Concubine Mao said, this matter was indeed the work of her and Concubine Mao.

When Concubine Mao found her and wanted to cooperate with her, she agreed.

Through the mourning clothes on her body, the queen pressed her hand on her forearm, and there were scars on her forearm, which she cut out with a knife.

But she has never cut off since the emperor left the palace.

The last wound on the arm had healed, but those scars remained on her arm forever. The deep or shallow scars coiled around her white and slender arm like earthworms, just like everything that had happened, like that hateful man, in her heart and in her memory, it lingers and hurts her forever.

"Do you want me to save your life? What if I can't?" said the queen.

It has been in history that my mother and son have been left. Even the biological flesh and blood are like this. What's more, even the Empress Dowager knew that Concubine Mao was not pregnant at all. Her belly was fake, and her dragon seed was fake. Her son would be a maid or a child from the Yang family!
