Chapter 496

Nuan Tai Consort has actually never had much of a presence in Da Rui’s former dynasty and harem.

It was mainly because Emperor Xianjia’s selfcontrol was too strong, and he was always nonchalant towards her since she couldn’t sway the emperor’s thoughts and practices, even if she had a stunning appearance, in most people’s eyes, she would still be just an extraordinarily beautifullooking palace concubine, with limited value.

By the time she reached the Duanhua Dynasty, even if she gave birth to King Qing, she was even more inconspicuous.

Aside from some private tossing in the middle because Emperor Duanhua suspected King Qing’s bloodline, neither inside nor out had this Dowager Consort on their minds even Emperor Duanhua and the others, after confirming that King Qing belonged to the bloodline of the late Emperor and resuming their treatment of the mother and son, had thrown them to the back of their minds.

Only Empress Wei, so far, kept her watch and suspicion.

“The people over there came to report just two days ago, saying that everything is as usual for Mrs. Nuan.” Xin Cian furrowed her brows, “It’s also strange! The concubine looks oddly honest, in addition to raising King Qing, is the occasional to Hui Yi Palace hall to the Empress Dowager to ask for peace, even with the same palace of Jiang Tai Fei, Xu Tai Fei place, is also never step on the. Of course the two consorts never go to her!”

Empress Wei mused: ”It’s not surprising that the two Dowager Consorts Jiang and Xu don’t interact much with the Nuan Dowager Consort! After all, although they are both serving the late emperor, but even the younger consort Xu, than the warm consort is ten years older, barely two generations. And Nuan Tai Fei is not my Central Plains people, both sides where to say a piece to go? However, the Nuan Taifei privately do not have any contact with people practice? Does her close palace staff keep an eye on her?”

“Among the court ladies of the Nuan Tai Fei’s inner circle, there is one who is one of ours.” Xin Jian said, “It was after the last time the Nuan Tai Fei narrowly escaped death and survived, the people who were close to serving her, except for that Qin Ye, were all asked about the crime of negligence of duty, and were all sent out to take advantage of the opportunity to make up for it. That palace maid said she this period of time observation down, can’t see warm too much consort has what suspicious place, even she lives in the bedchamber, there is nothing can’t see can’t touch the place and things. She took advantage of their own duty, turned over a lot of hidden places, found that are just some gold and jade objects, afterward visit, are recorded as a reward.”

Speaking of which, Xin Jian guessed, “Could it be that she really does not have a problem? After all, this Nuan Taifei was not very face in front of the late emperor, before the missing Fu Taifei, all day to chase her all over the palace, she can only tolerate it! So which has what the palace people look on her, willing to work for her? It is those socalled beloved in front of her, in addition to Qin Ye, others have changed two or three batches! That Qin Ye we have been watching! In the end, Nuan Tai Fei a foreigner, or alone into the palace, even if there are any means, these days we stare down, it is not possible that there is no trace?”

“It’s not true that she’s a foreigner and entered the palace alone, but have you forgotten who sent her to the palace?” Empress Wei shook her head and said, “That was sent to the palace by the Duke of Ji the Su family didn’t bury any backstabbing in her, this palace definitely doesn’t believe it!”

Xinqian mused, “But didn’t you, Your Highness, say that His Majesty had asked Duke Liang to do a blood drop with King Qing to prove that King Qing was not Duke Liang’s son?”

Empress Wei is now trapped in the Weiyang Palace can not go anywhere, the palace rights have also been taken to the Hexiu Yi, nothing to do under the master and servant two can not help but often talk.

Therefore, although Xin Fen had not been replacing Shi Wan for a long time, she had already heard about the secret stories of the palace in the past two years.

“That time when the blood drops were used to recognize the relatives, this Palace wasn’t present again!” Empress Wei sighed and helplessly said, “Afterwards, from His Majesty’s side, it seems that Duke Liang was very nervous at that time and, since the Empress Dowager used the blood of a pair of death row mothers and daughters to prove that there was no problem with the water of the blood drop to recognize the relatives on the first occasion, that time, His Majesty, in order to show his trust in the Empress Dowager’s trust, His Majesty took the initiative to veto this verification! Therefore, this Palace is still skeptical about the relationship between Duke Liang and King Qing. However, this is a matter of great importance, and His Majesty will be on the defense of this Palace, so this Palace is not in a position to rashly bring it up and have them drop another drop of blood.”

Xinqian was rather speechless: ”This Your Majesty, no wonder the Empress Mother doesn’t look at him! Even if you trust the Empress Dowager with such an important matter, how can you take it lightly? The slave girl said a bad word: even if the Empress Dowager would not intentionally let the late Emperor be humiliated, but that water and basin is not the Empress Dowager personally to get, must be the Empress Dowager’s beloved, Yu Guo aunt to prepare it? Who knows if Aunt Jade Fruit is harboring Duke Liang for some reason?”

It is not for no reason that she suspects Yuguo, “Aunt Yuguo only served the Empress Dowager after she moved into Mingren Palace, so she is still quite young! When the Empress Dowager was here, even His Majesty and you, Your Highness, had to be polite when you saw this aunt. But the Empress Dowager is so old, once … Yuge Aunt no backer, even if His Majesty is thinking of the Empress Dowager’s part to reward her face, and how can with the Empress Dowager in the time than? This aunt wants to find a backer in advance, is it not natural?”

“That is the important person in front of the Empress Dowager, just as you said, right now this palace has to be polite even when I see her, I don’t dare to rashly investigate her for anything!” Empress Wei shook her head and said, “Anyway, keep a close eye on Imperial Concubine Nuan, if she has a problem, sooner or later, she will reveal herself! In any case, we can’t do anything right now, and the manpower we placed earlier is also idle!”

When the Empress’s conversation with Xin Jian came to an end, outside the palace, Song Yixiao was hurriedly boarding a carriage and rushing to Zhaode Bo’s residence.

A few moments ago, the Zhaodebu residence sent word that Yuan Xuexie was going to give birth!

As a close friend of Yuan Xuexie’s who grew up together, and knowing that Zhaodebu’s house has no elders, she naturally wants to go and take care of her.

To halfway to meet Jiang Mu scape’s carriage, the two could not stop to exchange pleasantries, one after the other, stopping in front of the Zhaodebu House, not waiting for the House in the subordinates to come forward to meet, have taken the maid handed over the hat buckle, quickly step off, while walking and asked, “How is your wife now? The steady woman can come over? Do you have a doctor ready?”

All the way to ask all the way inside, but the subordinate is a ask three do not know, that is the backyard only rumors Yuan Xuexie calyx launched, he was sent out to wait, so do not know anything.

“It’s not good to have an old man in the house!” Jiang Mufa was furious when she heard this, but she didn’t have the heart to scold the subordinate for being stupid and not knowing to ask for details before waiting at the door she only smiled at Song Yi and said, “I don’t have this kind of experience, so I’ll be needing to trouble you later!”

“Don’t worry!” Song Yixiao, who was already a mother, was much more calm and comforted her, “Sister Yuan’s good fortune will be in her favor, she will definitely be fine!”

Zhaodebu Mansion was not a big place, so after saying these two words, they had already arrived at the backyard most of the subordinates would naturally be clustered here at this time, so it was good that it didn’t appear to be cluttered, and Lu Guanlun’s figure in the middle of the crowd was particularly eyecatching, and when he saw them coming, his slightly pale face revealed an expression of obvious relief, “Sisterinlaw! Sisterinlaw!”

“How’s it going?” Jiang Mubai and Song Yixiao had no time to greet him and asked in unison.

“The nurse practitioner that was scheduled earlier has now gone in.” Lu Guanlun wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, forced a smile and said, “The stable nurse said that all the things that she wanted are also ready, but the cousin’s labor date should have been in the next month, this is a full half a month ahead of schedule, and I’m worried that it’s because of her overly worried in the past two days …”

Jiang Mu scape heard, and Song Yixiao looked at each other, look are very helpless: originally before Yuan Xue Pei jail, let Yuan Xue Calyx worried about the belly running around, this time Yuan Xue Pei put is released, but the title is gone!

Not only that, a little more than half a month ago, Emperor Duanhua was forced to promise his ministers that he would hand over the matter of Duke Liang and Yuan Xue Pei’s conspiracy to rebel to the court for public discussion.

In that case, it was hard to say whether Yuan Xue Pei would be punished in any other way.

As the sister he raised like a pearl, how could Yuan Xuexie not be concerned about her brother’s future?

And she is now nine months pregnant, was also just an unusual delicate body of a lady, which is not a worry, which can not be premature labor?

“It’s all my fault!” Jiang Muzhe blamed herself with chagrin, “If I had known it would be like this, I would have let my sister go back to visit on the day my husband was released from prison!”

On the day Yuan Xue Pei was released from prison, Jian Xu Bai and Jiang Muying and their spouses went to the Boling Marquis residence to visit and help, so Yuan Xue Calyx would not have failed to appear. But Yuan Xuexie did not go to the brother and sisterinlaw’s current residence to take a look, this is of course not that she suddenly does not care about her brother, but because Jiang Muying sympathized with his sisterinlaw’s pregnancy is getting heavy, Yuan Xuepei was released from prison and then immediately after the move, for fear of crowded, bumping and tripping, hurt Yuan Xuexie, so in advance, sent someone to give her greetings, persuade her not to go.

Of course, Jiang Mu scape did this, in fact, also a little selfish, she knows Yuan Xue Pei very important to the only sibling, and Yuan Xue Calyx, and is a relatively soft nature. She knows that Yuan Xue Pei values his only sibling very much, and Yuan Xue Calyx is a relatively soft person.

At that time, Yuan Xue Pei had only just come out of prison, even if he had Jian Xubai’s care, he didn’t suffer much in prison, but after being locked up in a place where he couldn’t see the light of day for all those days, how could a wife not feel heartbroken?

And how could he bear to think of Yuan Xuexiu bothering with him when he was tired?

So on the pretext for the sake of the sisterinlaw’s pregnancy, let Yuan Xuexie simply give birth to a child to sit through the month and then go to visit the elder brother which know Yuan Xuexie listen to is listened to, but the person did not go, the heart has been lifted, in the end or indirectly to accept the impact.

This will Jiang Mu scape and worry and regret, and even said, “that day sister if went to see husband, brother and sister two talk, husband at least able to enlighten enlighten her! This … this …”

She was so scared she didn’t know what to say?

This is no wonder, her marriage with Yuan Xue Pei, is her initiative mostly, Yuan Xue Pei married her, even though it can not be said that forced by circumstances, but also has all kinds of considerations, unlike her to Yuan Xue Pei, is pure love.

Although the couple get along well after marriage, Jiang Mubai knows that Yuan Xue Pei is extremely important to his sister, if Yuan Xue Calyx has any shortcomings this time, then Yuan Xue Pei know that he did the trick, it is not unlikely that the couple will be born between them to have a problem!

Fortunately, although Yuan Xuexie’s pregnancy was not full term, it was only half a month short she had a difficult labor, but in the middle of the night on that day, she gave birth to a daughter peacefully in the end.

During this period, Yuan Xue Pei and Jian Xu Bai both came to visit their wives because they saw that they were late, so even though it was inconvenient for them to return to the residence at midnight, it was okay for them to rest in the guest room of the Zhaodebu residence for the night.

The next morning, Song Yixiao got up and learned that Yuan Xuexiu was still sleeping and had not yet woken up, and after looking at the baby that had just landed on the ground, she and Lu Guanlun said goodbye and went back to the house, “The three children in the family are still young, and since everything is going well with Sister Yuan, I’m going to go back first! If there is anything I can do to help, Mr. Lu will send a message to me.”

Lu Guanlun was very grateful for her help yesterdayyesterday, Song Yixiao first stood guard outside the maternity ward, and in her capacity as an outsider, she comforted Lu Guanlun and Jiang Mubai; afterward, because Yuan Xuexie cried and cried for a long time but could not give birth, and people outside the maternity ward began to sweat, Song Yixiao simply went into the maternity ward directly to keep her company.

This half of the day busy, Song Yixiao himself is pregnant, can not afford to toss, this will be the past night, the face with a tired color.

Therefore, Lu Guanlun will not keep her, thanked her profusely and personally sent her and Jian Xubaibai to the gate, and then saw her off for a long time before turning around and returning to the mansion.

After Jian Xu Bai and his wife returned to Marquis Yan’s residence, Song Yixiao forced her spirit, called the three children to the front of the coaxing will see that they did not because of their own and her husband last night one are not in the residence and panic, which only then rest assured.

After dismissing the children, I was about to go back to the inner room to catch up on my sleep, but Bell came in and said something, “Grandma, just now the Grand Princess of Jin’s residence has sent a message, saying that the Qingjiang County Princess and Mrs. Shouchun can’t resist the Fuyang Marquis’ kneeling, and had to report his request to the Grand Princess of Jin the Grand Princess has already summoned him to meet with her. The Grand Princess has already summoned Marquis Fuyang, but the outcome is still unknown!”

Song Yixiao couldn’t help but wrinkle her brow when she heard this!
