It was midsummer when Yu Xiang left, and it was already the middle of winter when he came back. The north wind was blowing outside, and it was really ice.

Ganquan Palace is surrounded by artificially dug lakes. During spring, summer and autumn, the blue lake water is hidden among the vast green trees, and the scenery is so beautiful that it is intoxicating. However, when winter comes, the lake water condenses into ice. It looks plain and white from a distance. It is beautiful and beautiful, but it makes people feel cold.

The palace burned the ground dragon and the brazier, but Concubine Sun was still wrapped in a fox fur cloak. Her already bulging belly was even more amazing. She looked beautiful and fair-skinned. She was leaning lazily on the soft couch at this time. Her eyebrows and eyes, which were stretched out due to the promotion in succession, naturally brought a bit of arrogance and nobility.

"Empress, your belly looks sharp and you must be pregnant with Xiao Longzi." Mrs. Sun spoke diligently.

Concubine Sun touched her belly, squinted her eyes and smiled, "Is that right? It's not about men and women, anyway, this child is a blessing. What's wrong with my sister-in-law entering the palace this time?"

Mrs. Sun quickly told her that she would not be able to take Yu Xiang as a concubine and marry her.

Concubine Sun frowned and said, "Whose girl is not good to marry, and she is fond of Yu Xiang? She has already recognized her ancestors and returned to her hometown. Her brother is about to be dismissed, and her adopted brother is dead and has no corpse and has lost his title. She has a erratic temper, but also has difficulty in legs and feet, and has a chronic illness. What are the benefits of marrying her? This palace helps Mingjie to pick any one of them, which is a hundred times better than her."

"Empress, you don't know. Mingjie likes her so strong. It's more interesting to play with her. A good girl and wife dare not let him get close to her. It would be better to marry Yu Xiang and let Mingjie get angry for a few years. When Mingjie becomes steady, she will die suddenly. Let's marry another noble girl who can get on the table." Mrs. Sun replied in a low voice.

Concubine Sun naturally knew about her nephew’s faults and helped her cover it up. After hearing this, she thought for a while and felt that it was good to use Yu Xiang to polish her nephew’s temperament. The Shen family and the Yu family were both defeated, so who cares about Yu Xiang’s life or death?

"Okay, wait for this palace Xuan Yu Xiang to come and take 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 was promoted to the position by Emperor Cheng Kang for two consecutive months. The speed of promotion is rare in the world. Not to mention the envy and jealousy of her, even she herself was floating, thinking that Emperor Cheng Kang was so fond of herself and her children, and she was still thinking of asking Emperor Cheng Kang to be a prince when she was born. Moreover, she took the new emperor's ship one step earlier. Even if Emperor Cheng Kang died, she lived comfortably and unparalleled under the care of the new emperor.

Therefore, she gradually forgot her duty and did not take the queen seriously at all, otherwise she would not have sent a little palace maid to Kunning Palace to ask for someone. If this move was normal, it would have been astonishing.

Of course, during the past few months when the queen was dormant, she has experienced a lot of similar provocations. She has endured silently in the past, but today she can't bear it anymore and no longer needs to endure it.

Therefore, without waiting for the palace maid of Sun Concubine to step out of the inner hall, she saw the female official of Kunning Palace strode in and said, "The Empress issued a royal decree, accusing Sun Concubine of not knowing etiquette and not understanding the magnanimity. She faced the wall in Ganquan Palace and thought about her mistakes. She knelt for twelve hours before she could get up. Empress, please."

The female official bent down and wanted to lead the grand concubine to the Buddhist temple in the back hall. Because every emperor of the Han Dynasty believed in Buddhism, the concubines in the harem also followed the temple and set up a Buddhist temple in the palace. If there is anything to do, they would kneel down and recite a few scriptures to show their compassion.

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

When Concubine Sun heard this, she was so shocked that she almost fell off the soft couch. Mrs. Sun was even more unbelievable and said bluntly that the Empress used her power to fight against the Concubine and assassinated the Emperor's heir, and she wanted to go to the imperial court to sue.

The female official didn't stop her, and let her and a palace maid run to the Yangxin Palace.

"Does the Empress go in by herself or wait for the emperor to issue an imperial edict?" The female official smiled at Concubine Sun, with a very gentle attitude.

"Waiting for the Emperor!" Concubine Sun said, covering her stomach and gritting her teeth.

The two of them were speechless for a moment and were waiting quietly.

In the Heart-Healing Palace, Doctor Park was taking the pulse of Emperor Cheng Kang. What Emperor Cheng Kang suffered from was lung accumulation, which is the so-called lung cancer in modern times. He had been pleading for a long time. Master Kuhui had also entered the palace to see this disease, but he had no choice. Doctor Park's medical skills and Kuhui were only between the same skills, but he had a unique skill, which was to snatch people from the King of Hell, but he could greatly relieve the pain and time of death.

Because he only saw a doctor once for one person and had no second principle, Cheng Kangdi did not dare to let him take action easily even if he was dying.

"Doctor Park, how much time do I have?" After taking the pulse, Emperor Cheng Kang spoke calmly.

"If His Majesty had not been given the medicine of tiger and wolf, his essence and blood, he would have lived for four or five years, but now he would not have tried it. The grass people tried hard, at least five or six months or one or two years, and there was no fixed number." Doctor Park told him bluntly.

"The medicine of tigers and wolves has damaged the essence and blood." These two sentences circled the tip of Emperor Cheng Kang's tongue. Although his tone was gentle and his expression was calm, his deep eyes had a terrifying murderous thought.

The medicine given by Concubine Sun could raise his interest unknowingly. He had not been moved for a long time because of his physical weakness. After tasting the dragon spirit and tiger spirits and tigers with Concubine Sun several times, he thought it was a sign of his first recovery from his illness. In addition, Concubine Sun was pregnant, which proved that his heroism was not as good as that back then. He was very happy for a while and raised his position as Concubine Sun.

But after learning that Sun Fei was good at exploring the pulse and being proficient in pharmacology, he realized that the so-called dragon spirit and tiger fierceness were just poisoning, and the so-called nurturing dragon heir was exchanged for his life. If Sun Fei didn't know that he was sick and was incompatible with the body, it would be understandable. She knew that the emperor was seriously ill and was about to die and gave him such tiger and wolf medicine, just to give him a bright future, and what he did was like a tyrant of tyrant.

Emperor Cheng Kang had anticipated the children of Sun Concubine before, and now he hated them. In order not to alert the enemy, he had to continue to offer her, and promoted her to a first-rate concubine.

Now that Yu Pinyan is about to return to the court, he and the prince are punished for the crime of treason forcing the palace to rebel. In the past few months, Emperor Cheng Kang and the prince have drawn up a list in their minds, which clearly distinguishes whether the court officials on the list are loyal or traitor, whether they are valued or killed.

A bloody storm was about to break out, Emperor Cheng Kang didn't mind using Concubine Sun to sharpen his butcher knife, so when Mrs. Sun broke into the palace of Yangxin and shouted for justice, he waved his sleeves and said coldly, "Blow them each to thirty boards and drive them out. Bring my will to Concubine Sun, let her kneel until the queen is satisfied."

After the eunuch got the order, he immediately asked the guards to capture Mrs. Sun and the palace maids. He took off his pants and slapped the thirty boards in the open space in front of the hall, and immediately sent the female official to Ganquan Palace to issue an order.

"What? This is impossible! I am still pregnant with a dragon son. The emperor cannot treat me like this! You must be falsely passing the imperial edict! I want to see the emperor!" Concubine Sun was so scared that she wanted to run to the Yangxin Palace but was captured by the palace maid. She pressed into the Buddhist temple and pressed onto the cushion.

Because the female official did not allow the palace servants to burn the ground dragon and burn the brazier in the Buddhist temple, Concubine Sun only knelt for a short moment and felt a thrilling stomach. In addition, her mood was frenzy and unable to calm down, and a large piece of blood quickly fainted on the hem of her skirt.

In Kunning Palace, the queen received a message from the female official and only chuckled slightly. She stared at the desolate winter scene outside the window, and didn't know what she thought of, endless sadness emanated from her eyes.

Seeing this, Yu Xiang naturally did not dare to stay for too long. He ordered Taohong Liulu to push the wheelchair and said goodbye after he got on.

The queen stood up to help her and asked, "Didn't she say the leg injury has been cured? Why do you still have to take a wheelchair?"

"Greeting back to the Queen, the journey to Xijiang is long, but it is because I can't bear the fatigue and my muscles and bones. Now I can only walk for half a day every day, and I still need to let the girls push it for the rest of the day."

After experiencing this betrayal, the queen likes people like Yu Xiang more and more. In the eyes of ordinary people, Yu Xiang's approach is like being rebellious and shocking the world, but in the eyes of the queen, she values ​​love and righteousness and be grateful. Not to mention harsh criticism, it is too late to reward.

The queen said several times, "You've suffered" and told her to come to the palace to play in the future, so she ordered Madam Song to send her out.

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

Taohong and Liu Lu were in a cold sweat. Only then did they dare to take out a veil to wipe it, and whispered, "Let the pregnant woman who is seven or eight months pregnant kneel on the Buddhist temple in this cold weather. If the concubine Sun really had a miscarriage, the queen might be criticized by the court officials."

"Criticism? Let them criticize." Yu Xiang blew the dust stuck to the kohlrabi, and his smile was indescribable. "It is precisely because the Empress was too virtuous and kind all day long that she would let the little concubine ride on her head after she lost her power. She endured her whole life and pretended her for a lifetime, but in the end she was banned by her son. Although it was fake, it was chilling enough to reflect. Once she was forced into a desperate situation, no matter how kind the person was, she would show her darkest side. The Empress really wanted to see blood now, so I happened to hand her a knife. However, Concubine Sun was a talented person. Not only did she offend the Empress, but she also offended the emperor to death. I don't know what she did to be angry and resentful."

Yu Xiang put his hand into his sleeve and warmed up, with contemplation in his eyes.

"No matter what she did, after today, I don't know whether there is a person like Sun Concubine in the future." Liu Lu said worriedly, "It's just that the Queen used you to make a raft, and the matter spreads, and your reputation will be even worse."

When Yu Xiang heard this, he did not feel annoyed, but instead chuckled, "I threw away the reputation of that thing eight hundred years ago. The Queen did use me as a raft, but I still have to thank her. Think about it, this matter has spread. Who dares to mess with me in the capital in the future?"

Even the concubine Sun, who is the favorite of the Sixth Palace, has ended in such a miserable end. In the future, those who want to trouble their master must consider whether they are worth it. Liu Lu thought that this is indeed the case, so she laughed.

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