Chapter 214

"Do you love the princess and protect her from knowing?"

Meng Qianzhong gave her a cold look. "Don't climb up with a pole. Princess De is only the mother of the prince and Princess after all. She'd better not know many things. It's best for us to discuss."

Su Rushuang breathed a sigh of relief and became nervous again, "but you don't want her to stay in the palace."

"Yes." Meng Qianchong patted her shoulder lightly. "It depends on you."

Su Rushuang was stiff. "How could it be me? Isn't that your decision?"

"You are my assistant. Do you think I don't know about the concubines in the back palace?" Meng Qianchong said with a faint smile. "You helped me by controlling the concubines to sober the ministers outside."

"You..." Su Rushan bit her pale lips. "Do you want me to get rid of Princess Chen after she gives birth?"

"Yes, can you help me?"

"It's just..." Su Rushan looked at him in some embarrassment. "She can't have stayed alone. Mu Jiajun must have left several people."

"Of course I know. She can find Princess Poyang's sending off team. She will not be embarrassed about food. I have sent someone to look for it on the border of Qi and Qin." Meng Qianchong raised his lips and his eyes showed ruthlessness. "Whoever you meet, as long as you are suspected of being a bandit, you will be killed."

Su Rushuang pursed her lips, "what are you going to do with the child of imperial concubine Chen? He was born without a mother, which is always bad."

"Are you interested in adopting her child?" Meng Qianzhong looked at her calmly. "You can't have children. Are you willing to adopt her child?"

Su Rushuang was stunned and resolutely shook her head and said, "I don't want to. I'd rather live alone in Huayang palace forever than adopt the children of Mu family army."

Meng Qianchong waved his hand, "well, you just need to get rid of Xie Yingmei for me. You must be watertight. The female official around her is very smart. Don't be found by her."

Su Rushuang clenched her lips and said, "it must be princess Poyang who doesn't want to come to the state of Qi, so she found a rebel daughter everywhere to replace her. The prospective Princess must know this. The emperor doesn't intend to investigate her responsibility?"

Meng Qianzhong held his chest in disapproval and said, "there's nothing to investigate. As soon as concubine Chen dies, she can't ask for anything. I don't need to make the matter of accepting the rebel's daughter public. If we have a clean relationship with each other, we can have the best of both worlds."

Su Rushuang nodded, "I see. You should handle the relevant affairs well. Prince Chun has just been released, and many ministers in the imperial court are uneasy about Mu Jiajun."

"These ministers just want to die. They think my power is overhead, so they can point out what I have done," Meng Qianzhong said with a flash of evil in his eyes. "I can remove Mu Jiajun, and others are nothing."

"I've heard that your imperial court doesn't live in peace," Su Rushuang said. "You must settle in before you rush out. You'd better not rush to deal with the border affairs. It's not good to ask the minister to be in power."

Meng Qianchong's eyes cut like a knife, "where did you hear that? I don't remember telling you so many things. Your ears are not ordinary."

Su Rushuang shivered all over and replied with a hard scalp, "it's not that I intervene in political affairs, but it's just a persuasion. At least I'm a imperial concubine. Can't I even open this mouth?"

"You're lucky to be a imperial concubine. If you're the queen, my dragon robes will be worn for you to listen to the government behind the curtain," Meng Qianchong said coldly. "You'd better stay out of the court's affairs in the future. The imperial palace can't do politics."

Su Rushuang's face was red and white for a while, and he didn't dare to talk much. He had to say bitterly, "I understand. I won't talk much in front of you in the future. Let's go."

"You're sure you've heard it clearly. It's a big matter that can't tolerate carelessness," Luo Ning solemnly smoothed the wrinkles on her skirt. "If one accidentally hears the wrong news, we'll be finished."

Xiaoyi knelt respectfully on the ground and said word by word: "I dare not be careless. The imperial concubine and the emperor really said that. I haven't changed a word."

"Very good," Luo Ninghai raised his lips with satisfaction. "The emperor can't keep imperial concubine Chen, and it's not in vain. He guessed that imperial concubine Chen was Xie Yingmei."

Xiaoyi asked in some doubt, "why should the empress remove the imperial concubine Chen? Isn't she a very favorable ally?"

"Imperial concubine Chen is advantageous because of her status, not her ability. Once she is not the noble princess from the state of Qin, but the sinner who survives the rebels, everything will change," Luo Ninghai narrowed his eyes dangerously. "The palace absolutely can't allow the rebel's daughter to stay in the palace, especially the emperor."

"In this way, the whole Zhaoyun hall will be finished," said Xiao Yi thoughtfully. "Does the female official around concubine Chen still feel valuable?"

Luo Ninghai put down the teacup and said seriously, "how can it be worthless? Her ideas can help the palace bring down Su Rushuang. After concubine Chen left, she lost her master, so she naturally came to the palace and worked better for the palace."

Xiaoyi knew clearly, "and she couldn't think of the reason why Princess Chen died after giving birth to the prince. There was also a relationship between her mother."

Luo Ninghai casually blew his fingernails. "It doesn't matter. It's just doing things for himself. Everything is on the right one, such as the imperial concubine. She will kill imperial concubine Chen in the future. This palace is the most innocent."

Xiao Yi was so impressed by the sinister empress that he couldn't help sighing: "that empress is really powerful."

"Our palace doesn't want to be powerful, but to be the most powerful one," Luo Ninghai glanced at her lightly. "You give our palace Haosheng to stare at Su Rushuang, especially between her and the emperor. You must report it to our palace."

Xiao Yi quickly replied, "well... There seems to be no movement from min Jieyu around her mother. On the contrary, beauty Shen is more favored."

"Min Jieyu is afraid she won't be favored, but her father, Lord Jiang, can't be underestimated," Luo Ninghai glanced at her again. "Beauty Shen is a flute player, but why are you so concerned about the affairs of the palace? Do you want to come to Zhongcui palace?"

Xiaoyi was surprised and didn't dare to look at her suspicious eyes, so she had to keep lowering her head, "I dare not, I listen to my mother's orders."

"Don't you want to be the emperor's concubine," Luo Ninghai smiled with great interest. "If you help the palace solve the big problem of Su Rushuang, the palace will persuade the emperor to let you become a concubine, and it is still the position of Jieyu."

Xiaoyi's eyes flashed a little surprise and raised his head, "empress... Maidservant, thank you, empress."

"Compared with your thanks, the palace wants to see Su Rushuang fall," Luo Ninghai smiled. "After this war, the contradiction between Xue ronghua and Su Rushuang cannot be solved. The palace is a good general."

She breathed a sigh of relief and a trace of evil intention flashed across her eyes. Whether mu Langhua or Xie Yingmei, they all hoped that Xue ronghua could understand the meaning and help her achieve her goal in one fell swoop.

When the last leaf left the eaves of Zhaoyun hall, Xie Yingmei also ushered in the birth of her child.

Zhaoyun hall was already busy. The imperial doctors lined up at the gate of the palace. Everyone's forehead was soaked with cold sweat for fear that something bad would happen and make their heads fall to the ground.

Xue ronghua poured a cup of tea. "The emperor is a little calm and don't be impatient. Imperial concubine Chen has taken medicine according to the imperial doctor's instructions recently. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Meng Qianzhong reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "I know, but many of my children have not been able to come to this world as expected, so I am still worried."

"It was just an accident," said Xue ronghua with a soothing smile. "The emperor will get a healthy prince."

Xie Yingmei grabbed the belt in front of the curtain and her face turned red. She felt that her lower body was about to be torn. Only the words of the midwife and the royal doctor were buzzing in her ears. She shook her head powerlessly and trembled her lips. She didn't know what to answer them.

"Mother, the child is coming out," said the midwife with a smile. "Mother, if you try harder, the child will come out soon."

"Well, well," said Xie Yingmei, taking a breath and almost breaking the bedding, "if I try harder, you must protect my children. If you can't keep the mother and son at the same time, you can keep my children."

"You work hard, my lady. I'm sure you'll keep your mother and son safe. Your body is well conditioned and you can get down from the delivery bed." the midwife was stunned. She made some strength in her hand and jumped up with cheers. "My mother, the child was born. It's a little prince."

A clear cry broke the tense atmosphere in the hall. Meng Qianzhong stood up in surprise and asked the midwife who came out with the baby: "is it the prince?"

"It's a little prince," the midwife knelt down, "maidservant congratulations to the emperor." people all over the room knelt down with her one after another to welcome the emperor's kindness.

"The prince is very good. Princess Chen really gave birth to a little prince for me," Meng Qianzhong happily touched the little pink baby and painted his outline with spoiled eyes. "I have another prince. It's great. I have a partner after the game."

Xue ronghua glanced nervously at the child in his hand. The child looked healthy. It should be that the mother and son were safe and there would be no accident.

A royal doctor came out of the curtain and saluted the Emperor: "I congratulate the emperor. My mother and son are safe, but imperial concubine Chen is too tired and has fallen asleep."

"Imperial concubine Chen has worked hard," Meng Qianchong kissed the child's cheek. "Then I'll visit imperial concubine Chen again tomorrow. You must take good care of imperial concubine Chen's body and don't leave anything behind."

The imperial doctor nodded, "Wei Chen understands that he will not bear the heavy responsibility of the emperor."

Xue ronghua winked at the nursing mother, asked her to bring the child over and saluted the emperor, "it's good to have a servant here. The emperor is tired to accompany imperial concubine Chen to give birth. The next thing will be taken over by the servant."

Meng Qianchong glanced at her and nodded: "you are the one that I and imperial concubine Chen can trust, so I'll give it to you."

"You are welcome to the emperor."
