"This is just what the girl said. Concubine Ling hasn't woken up yet. Do you still want to ask Concubine Ling about herself?" Kang Guiren glanced at Emperor Yuande cautiously. "What should I do with this stillborn fetus? Please let the emperor know clearly."

"What else are you saying? Send him away and bury him!" Emperor Yuande frowned, with disgust on his face, "Since Lingbi is like this, let's wait until she wakes up and ask her. Her father has done meritorious service for me, so don't Say I wronged her!"

"Yes!" Kang Guiren lowered his head and said yes.

"Are you sure you have everyone under control? This matter won't spread?" Emperor Yuande's voice sounded above Kang Guiren's head, "If it spreads, you know the consequences. What will people in the world say about me? Talk about our court!"

Kang Guiren's whole body was shocked, "I know this, and I will not let this matter spread."

There was no sound in the room for a long time. After a while, Chen Yuan came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the people around Concubine Chen are here. They said they came to see Kang Guiren, and asked Kang Guiren to go to the concubine's place."

"Why did she go there?" Emperor Yuande frowned.

Kang Guiren hurriedly shook his head, "I don't know about this. I don't know if the empress is kind-hearted. I don't know if I went to visit Kang Guiren."

"Well, that's just a kind heart. Okay, then you go and solve it properly. Don't scare Concubine Chen." Emperor Yuande looked at Kang Guiren and said, "You did a good job in this matter, and the rest You know how to deal with the aftermath, right?"

"Concubine understands."

"After all, she is from a noble family, but Concubine Chen is not. You need to teach her more, do you understand?"

"I don't understand."

"Well, let's go down."

When Kang Guiren walked out of the Yangxin Hall, his legs were weak. Even if he had learned it at home, he had seen how E Niang manages the house and how to deal with the slaves, but this time...

Fortunately, Concubine Chen sent someone in time, which really saved her life!

"Master, are you okay?"

"Okay, okay," Kang Guiren came back to his senses, "Quickly go to Lingbi's place!"

"But Master, your legs..." The palace maid held Kang's hand worriedly.

"It's okay. From now on, Concubine Chen's affairs are our business. Concubine Chen helped me again!"

"ah?"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

It is said that not long after Kang Guiren left, Lingbin opened her eyes and found that the people serving around her had changed, and the child was no longer around. Lingbin knew that something had happened.

But no one told her what happened.

How is this possible? The current emperor loves his children, so it is impossible for him to give birth to a child. This can only happen because something happened, something happened to the child?

The concubine Ling rolled her eyes and struggled desperately to sit up. She took out a one-hundred-tael silver note from the secret box on the bed and gave it to the leading aunt who was serving her while others were not paying attention.

"Auntie, please tell me the truth. Where is my child?" Concubine Ling pretended to be very pitiful and said, "Please tell me the truth!"

The leading aunt, perhaps because of the one hundred taels of silver, or because she felt pity for the concubine, said, "I don't know exactly what happened, but the people who serve you are locked in the miscellaneous room at the back. Here, we don’t know the reason.”

Lingbi took a breath, something big must have happened!

"Then who gave the order to lock them up?"

The consul's aunt thought for a moment and realized that this was not important, so she whispered, "He is from Kanggui."

"Kang Guiren? Concubine Chen is not here?"

"Concubine Chen came at first, but I was afraid that the emperor would send her back later. When you gave birth, Concubine Chen didn't come."

"It's Guiren Kang, not Concubine Chen, that means..." Lingbi trembled with fear, and begged anxiously, "Good aunt, please go and bring a message to Concubine Chen, and ask her to come quickly. .”

The consul's aunt looked at the concubine like she was a fool, "I'm afraid I can't do this. Even if I'm gone, did Concubine Chen come just because you asked her to come?"

"Good girl, as long as you go and ask, Concubine Chen will definitely come," Lingbi said anxiously, "Concubine Chen asked me for something before, and I am waiting for the result. As long as you go, Concubine Chen will not only I will come, and I will thank you!"

After saying that, the concubine Ling took off another bracelet from her arm, put it into the consul's aunt's hand, and said weakly, "Please, this is not only helping me, but also concubine Chen. Really. You can help me." Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen will definitely remember your love in the future."

"Concubine Chen, can I ask you something?"

Lingbi nodded vigorously, "Really! This matter is confidential and no one else knows about it. You will find out as soon as you go!"

The consul's aunt was a little hesitant, but finally went, "I'll give it a try, but if I don't see him, I can't do anything."

"Thank you, aunt. I will definitely repay you for your great kindness in the future!" After Lingbi said this, she fell straight on the bed as if a layer of skin had been peeled off.

This was her last bit of strength. Being able to say these few words was already her best effort.

Now Lingbi doesn't think about anything else. She just wants to gather enough strength. After a while, Shen Ruochen will come and she can talk easily.

After waiting for a long time, I finally saw Shen Ruochen.

"Lingbi? You...why do you look so...bad?" When Shen Ruochen saw Lingbin, he was obviously stunned for a moment. It can be seen that the birth took more than half of Lingbin's life and made Lingbi lose her appearance.

"Empress, it's a good thing you came first, otherwise I'm afraid if I want to talk to you, I'll have to do it in my dreams." Lingbi said feebly, feeling relieved in her heart. Now her life is in her hands. Half of it is gone, and the remaining half depends on the extent of the concubine Chen's favor.

"What's wrong with you? I didn't see it..." Shen Ruochen looked around and saw all the unfamiliar faces, and said, "Where is the child? I haven't asked you whether you are giving birth to a prince or a princess?"

Lingbi smiled bitterly and said nothing.

"you……"

"Your Majesty, I want to tell you something about..." Concubine Ling glanced around.

Shen Ruochen looked at Xiao Dezi, who said, "Master Chen wants to talk to Concubine Ling, you all should go down."

"This..." Several palace maids looked at me and I looked at you. One of them stepped forward and said, "Kang Guiren ordered us not to leave the concubine Ling, the slaves..."

"Kang Gui also listens to our mother-in-law, you just go down." Xiao Dezi said seriously.

Seeing that several palace maids were still hesitant, Shen Ruochen said, "Xiao Dezi, send someone to call Kang Guiren. I will tell you in front of you. Are you not afraid?"

"Thank you very much, ma'am. We'll wait outside." The maids hurriedly retreated.

"There's no one here this time, you can tell me, what's wrong with you?" Shen Ruochen looked at Ling Bin.
