"How is the Queen? Has she given birth?" It was already noon and there was still news from the Queen. Shen Ruochen asked again.

Xiao Dezi said, "Probably not yet. I have sent people to watch over there. If the baby is born, they will definitely come to report the baby."

Little Walnut said, "Master, why do you worry about me? We'll wait and see if we have a baby or not."

"I don't want to know. I don't know why. I always feel uncomfortable all over my body, as if I'm going to be unlucky. Why don't I just ask." Shen Ruochen covered his head and sighed.

"Bah, bah, bah! Master, don't say unlucky words so early in the morning!" Little Walnut said, "We have never had anything to do with Kunning Palace, even if it depends on us, we can't rely on it."

"It's better to go find out why the queen was born prematurely." Shen Ruochen said to Xiao Dezi, "If you can talk to the emperor, find someone with whom you have a good relationship and ask."

"Yes," Xiao Dezi was about to go out when Xiao Zhuozi who was sent out suddenly ran back in a hurry. Shen Ruochen asked hurriedly, "What's the situation with the queen?"

"It's not good, the Queen Mother cannot give birth, and the Queen Mother has also gone. The imperial doctor is asking whether to protect the elder or the younger child." Xiao Zhuozi said, "The Emperor wants to protect the Queen, but the Queen Mother said that the country and the country are the most important thing, and we must protect the younger child." , Kunning is in chaos."

"So serious?" Shen Ruochen asked hurriedly, "Then have you ever found out why the Queen gave birth prematurely?"

Xiao Zhuozi shook his head, "It looks like a bucket there. I don't dare to get too close. I don't know the details."

"If you don't know, just don't know. Xiao Dezi, don't go. Don't make yourself embarrassed for no reason," Shen Ruochen ordered, "Go down and close the palace gate. No one is allowed to move around at will."

"Yes," Xiao Dezi agreed. At this time, he was afraid of an accident and would not be able to explain clearly.

"Master, shall we go and have a look?" Xiao Walnut asked, "I'm afraid other masters will have to go and take advantage of the situation."

"I'm not going. I can't hide." Shen Ruochen stretched his waist. Although he was interrupted yesterday, his back was still a little sore. It was already noon. Shen Ruochen said, "I'll take a nap first." , call me if anything happens!"

"Master, what if someone takes this matter and says you don't respect the Queen?"

"You're stupid! You didn't say that your master prayed to the queen in his palace? You said that I knelt down and kowtowed to Guanyin?" Shen Ruochen nodded the little walnut's head angrily, "When did you become so stupid? !”

Kunning Palace.

There was a chaos in the main hall, and the imperial doctor was busy inside. The maids were carrying water back and forth, with basins of blood pouring out, which was frightening to see.

Emperor Yuande didn't sleep all night, with a bit of fatigue on his face. He rubbed his temples and said to the imperial doctor, "Tell me the truth, how sure are you of the Queen's pregnancy?"

"This..." Several imperial doctors looked at me, and I looked at you, and the last one, a new year's doctor, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is getting old. I'm afraid if I were to protect you, I would kill one and two. "

"One corpse, two lives?" Emperor Yuande frowned, "Then you think the best thing right now is to protect the child?"

The old doctor said bravely, "Then the Queen will..."

"will die?"

The old doctor nodded.

"Your Majesty, what are you waiting for? Even if the Queen knew about it, she would still choose to protect the child," the Queen Mother advised, "We must put the country, the country and the country first!"

Emperor Yuande sighed, "Since God's will is this, let's do it. However, if there is a glimmer of hope, we must protect the queen's life. If you cure me, you will be rewarded heavily."

"Yes!" The imperial doctors went in to work again. Emperor Yuande sat outside and listened to the mute shouts inside. He couldn't help but feel worried and walked back and forth in the room.

"Why is this pregnancy so difficult, actually..." Emperor Yuan De said with a sad look on his face, and said angrily and regretfully, "If I had known this, it would be better not to have this child!"

"What did the emperor say?" The Queen Mother frowned, "It can only be that the servants are not serving you well. Every one of the Ai family should be pulled down!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Queen Mother, don't care about the servants, someone is harming the Queen!" Concubine Shu walked in angrily, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, although this Queen Mother is older, she has already given birth to two children. I've been keeping my fetus alive all this time, so why did I suddenly give birth prematurely? Someone must be causing trouble and harming the Queen!"

"What do you know?" The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes.

"I'm not sure, I still need to investigate carefully. Maybe the things in the palace have been stolen and damaged, which is why this happened," said Concubine Shu, "Please ask the emperor to take care of the empress." Aunt Nianyu next to me should call me and ask."

"Nianyu is waiting inside. Let's wait until the birth is finished." Emperor Yuande said.

"Actually, I'm also guilty. The queen's pregnancy may have been caused by the roster." Concubine Shu looked very regretful, "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have sent the roster back. , could it be that the Queen is unhappy, so..."

"What roster?"

"It's a long story, but Your Majesty," Concubine Shu looked at Emperor Yuande, "It's just related to one person. I just don't know if Your Majesty will care about it."

"Concubine Shu, tell me what you have to say."

Concubine Shu looked at Emperor Yuande and said, "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I think this is related to Chu Xiugong."

"Chu Xiu Palace?" Emperor Yuan De frowned and said directly, "It can't be Concubine Chen. She has a weak temper and won't do this."

Concubine Shu said, "Your Majesty, I know that you dote on her now, but you have to judge whether this is her, right? Otherwise..."

"How do you want to interrogate her?" Emperor Yuande squinted his eyes and looked at Concubine Shu sternly, "Are you going to beat her into submission?"

"I don't mean that."

"Then shut up! If I say it's not her, it's not her!" Emperor Yuande said, turning the finger in his hand.

"Emperor!" Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother on the side spoke up, "All the six palaces are concubines, and the emperor should treat them equally! Since Concubine Chen is connected, it is appropriate to ask. Your Majesty, don't favor one over the other!"

"Empress Huang," Emperor Yuande continued to insist, "I can vouch for Concubine Chen. She cannot do such a thing because of her temperament. The empress must have other reasons. Let's not waste time here!"

"Emperor!" The Queen Mother struck the ground twice with her cane, "Emperor, you are obviously biased!"

"Empress Huang..."

"No need to say any more!" The Queen Mother said directly, "Here comes someone! Pass on this palace's message and ask Concubine Chen to come over immediately!"
