Chapter 168

Xiaotao is ordered to leave the room and Leng Qingyan returns to the main hall···

a moment

Lingzi stood beside Leng Qingyan nervously. Leng Qingyan took a cup of tea, put down the cup, looked at Lingzi and asked, "what are you doing after leaving the Palace this morning?"

Lingzi looked down at the ground, and her drooping eyes turned around and around. Her mother suddenly summoned her. Did she know something? I'm very secretive. My mother can't find anything!

"Go back to your mother, and the maidservant will clean up the house for your mother after sweeping the snow in the yard." Lingzi's voice was very light and her expression was very unnatural.

"When will the palace let you clean up the house of the palace?" Leng Qingyan looked at her with a smile.

Leng Qingyan's house was always cleaned up by Xiaotao and clove. Lingzi went to clean up her house without authorization, which was beyond her control. She was still moving in her house.

Leng Qingyan narrowed his eyes and continued to ask, "how does this palace treat you on weekdays?"

"The empress is kind to the maidservant and treats her very well!" Leng Qingyan never scolded her. She was often scolded by her master before.

"Since the palace treats you well, why do you betray the palace?" Leng Qingyan asked with a cold look in his eyes.

"Maidservant... Maidservant... Lady, spare your life! Maidservants have their own difficulties." "what difficulties?"

Lingzi knelt down with a bang. Her eyes were filled with tears. Her eyes were full of sadness. She cried and said, "my mother, she..."

"What's the matter with your mother?" Leng Qingyan asked with a frown.

"My mother is a bad gambler. She owes a lot of money to the gambling house. I... I was confused and did something I'm sorry for my mother." Lingzi was already sobbing.

"The palace sympathizes with your experience." Leng Qingyan takes another sip of tea from the teacup, looks at her coldly, pauses, walks up to her and looks down at her, "but the palace can't forgive those who betray the palace."

The cold voice slowly floated into Lingzi's ears. Lingzi's body was shaking and paralyzed on the ground. She had seen the means of the imperial concubine.

"Lilac!" Leng Qingyan shouted out.

"Maidservant!" Lilac entered the door and stood by to listen to orders.

"What crime should Lingzi, the palace maid, commit to the master?" Leng Qingyan asked.

"Those who trap the master, cut off their hands and send them to the sin slave place." clove said with an unchanged face.

Leng Qingyan put down the cup in his hand and slightly raised his eyes to look at Lingzi. "For the sake of you and my master and servant, we will give you three feet of white Ling and leave you a whole body."

The cold voice was like a ghost in hell. She was laughing, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes. Lingzi's eyes fell to the ground empty and lost her voice.

"Lilac, give her a ride for the palace." Leng Qingyan said to lilac and turned away.

——

At the gate of Beiyuan stood a dozen forbidden guards. Bright yellow palace lanterns in their hands lit up the dark courtyard. One by one, they stood solemnly in the cold wind, and their nose and ears were red with cold.

In the house, Princess Wu half lay on the imperial concubine's couch and opened her mouth to drink the porridge fed by the emperor. She frowned. She really didn't like this sticky food. She wouldn't drink it if she didn't want to run on Leng Qingyan!

"Qing'er, what's wrong?" the emperor asked, staring at Princess Wu's frown.

"I'm just a little sleepy!" Princess Wu forced out a smile and said.

"It's my thoughtlessness, so you should have a rest earlier! I'll see you again tomorrow." the emperor wiped the residue from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said gently.

"Your Majesty, can you tell me the truth!" Princess Wu suddenly said.

The emperor was stunned and asked her with a smile, "what truth does Qing'er want to hear?"

"I heard that the imperial concubine secretly executed Lingzi around her. Your majesty told me why she did it, didn't she..." Princess Wu sat up excitedly. Before she finished, the emperor hurriedly interrupted, "it's not her!"

Princess Wu opened her mouth and smiled bitterly, "how does your majesty know it's not her?" the emperor had doubted Leng Qingyan earlier. Why did he maintain Leng Qingyan in just a few hours.

Does he really like cold face?

Princess Wu's eyes flashed a trace of silence, gently bit her red lips, looked at the emperor and continued to ask, "is your majesty... Is it..." she never dared to ask, for she was afraid to hear the answer she didn't want to hear.

Princess Wu bit her lips until she broke her red lips. The smell of fishy and sweet spread in her mouth.

"Qing'er, don't think about it. I asked someone to check it. It wasn't the imperial concubine. You can rest assured that I will cure you." the emperor paused, reached out and grabbed her hand. His eyes fell on her high belly and frowned. He didn't intend to keep the child.

But when he knew that Qing'er had left the child, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep. His heart still wants, wants this child very much. No matter what others say, he wants Qing'er to give birth to their children.

But!

But now the child was afraid it would be difficult to keep it. He thought that the bottom of his eyes was getting wet. He patted Princess Wu on the back of her hand and comforted: "maybe this child has no fate for you and me, why should we force it!"

"No fate! He's in my stomach. I can feel his movements every day. Ah Yi, touch and see, he... He's here, he... How can we have no fate." Princess Wu grabbed the emperor's hand and gently pulled the emperor's hand to her stomach.

The emperor's palm was close to her stomach, and the fetus at the bottom suddenly kicked. The emperor raised his eyes in surprise, "he kicked me!"

"He knows you are his father. He is greeting you! Ah, you touch him." Princess Wu said in a warm voice.

The emperor was a little excited. It took him a long time to recover. His big hand gently touched the position just now. There was a bulge in that place. With his actions, his men felt as if they were making out with him. The emperor happily touched it again and again several times. Finally, he raised his eyes and was deeply attached to it.

"I... Will keep him!" the emperor took a deep breath and slowly withdrew his hand. While promising Princess Wu, he also told himself that he would keep the child at any cost.

"Ah Yi, give him a name!" Princess Wu smiled knowingly, reached out her hand and gently touched her lower abdomen and said to the emperor.

"I give her the word Yan. If my daughter calls Yan Yu, if my son calls him Yan Cheng! Continue my Chen family." the emperor looked at Princess Wu's stomach gently and said.

The smile on Princess Wu's face instantly converged, and the word Yan was not very good. From this word, it can be seen that the emperor had no expectations for the child. Her child was naturally a dragon and Phoenix among people. She was unwilling and unwilling.

But she couldn't show it. If the emperor saw her ambition, the emperor was very suspicious. If he suspected that she wanted to usurp the throne, it would be bad. After biting her teeth, she managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "Yan Zi is very good! I thanked his father for Yan'er."
