Mu Qingwan used her eyes to signal Biying to quickly clean up the porcelain bowl fragments, and deliberately took his hand and walked to the bed, asking him to take his burning eyes away from the fragments, "Actually, it doesn't matter, I've already eaten.

Get used to it, treat your illness if you are sick, and strengthen your health if you are not sick."

"I have always wondered why you have not been pregnant. Is it because you are weak?"

He has been hiding this question in his heart for a long time. For some reason, he secretly expected her to give birth to a son and a half for him. By then, she would have concerns in this palace and she would no longer be able to act like this.

Now, like a white cloud floating in the sky, it could drift away from his sight at any time.

When Mu Qingwan heard him mention the issue of heirs, her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes subconsciously looked at the pile of debris on the ground. She didn't know where to go, so how could she dare to give birth to another innocent child to suffer the consequences?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xia Houlie's expression became even more worried. Seeing that Biying had finished cleaning and was about to go out, he hurriedly stopped her and said, "Go and call Dr. Lu from the palace."

"No need, I am a doctor myself, no one knows my body better than me..."

"It doesn't hurt to take a look. Although you can see other people's illnesses, you may not be able to see your own illness clearly. It would be good to find more people to take a look. What's more, I can trust Dr. Lu's medical skills..."

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden noise outside, and then the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside. As soon as the visitor came in, he knelt down on the ground and cried:

"Your Majesty, please go and see our empress quickly. The imperial doctor said...the imperial doctor said that her child cannot be saved..."

Mu Qingwan took a look and saw that it was Su'e next to Concubine Yun.

Hearing this, Xia Houlie stood up quickly and strode away without even looking at Mu Qingwan again. Su'e also left quickly.

The inner hall that had been lively just now suddenly became deserted. Mu Qingwan stared blankly at the door of the room for a while, and then she came back to her senses. After all, the imperial heir in Concubine Yun's belly was gone.

She thought of what Xia Houlie had just said, and subconsciously touched her belly with her hands. If she hadn't taken contraceptive pills, wouldn't she have had Xia Houlie's child long ago?

If he really has a child, will he like it? Or will he try his best to abort her just like he did with the child in Yunluo's belly?

She didn't know, but her heart ached slightly as she thought about it.

Biying looked at her expression and wondered what she was thinking. He hurriedly walked to her side and said uneasily:

"Your Majesty, just now... just now Biying really didn't know that the emperor would be here...you...you should punish this slave..."

As he said, "Plop-" he knelt down with a sound, Mu Qingwan waved her hands tiredly, looked at the gloomy sky outside the window and said:

"It's okay. Remember to be more vigilant in the future. I must not let the emperor know that I secretly take medicine to prevent pregnancy."

Biying lowered her head in response and hurriedly retreated, but no one saw the dark glow of jealousy hidden in her eyes, nor the gloominess of her failed plan.

In addition to Yunluo's miscarriage, another major event happened in the palace, that is, the Empress Dowager, who had been sentenced to death by all the imperial doctors, was cured by a mysterious man because she was properly nursed back to health in the palace in Luocheng. Now her body has completely

Recovery was as good as before, and the rumors in the palace that the Empress Dowager had only one month to live were disproven.

Mu Qingwan guessed that the reason why Xia Houlie chose to announce the news of the Queen Mother's recovery at this time must be because he was alerted by the secret manipulation of the Tiger Talisman last time, and now he was ready to catch them off guard and kill them with one move.

.

In the next few days, he never appeared in Changxin Palace again. Mu Qingwan didn't know whether to be grateful that Yun Luo's incident made him forget to pursue her for drinking medicine, or whether she should be grateful that she finally had the ability to

A chance to take a breath.

The time soon came to the end of the year, and the trivial matters in the Sixth Palace made her dizzy. However, the news from Yun Luo still reached her ears word for word. This miscarriage was a big blow to her. Xia Houlie

Now, except for going to court, she almost always stays with Yunyi Palace. All the imperial doctors in the palace are also guarding her at all times. Although she lost her heir, Yunluo's status in the palace does not seem to be affected at all, and she becomes more and more favored.

.

However, this is on the surface. Anyone with some sense knows that in the palace, losing the emperor's heir may mean losing the supporter for the rest of his life. What's more, because the recovery of the Empress Dowager Su Hanzhi has also been officially announced.

Because of the failure of their other plan, although the Yun family remained calm on the surface, secretly they were already in chaos.

December 26th was Yunluo's birthday. Since she had a miscarriage not long ago, and the child was the emperor's first child, everyone in the palace, whether sincerely or not, felt some pity for her.

It was a pity that it happened to be her birthday, so Xia Houlie had already issued an order to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make good preparations and make it a lively event.

This day was another snowy day, and the lake was covered with a thick layer of ice. When Mu Qingwan arrived at the Jinlan Hall, it was already full of distinguished guests and a sea of ​​people. Her appearance did not cause any commotion.

, Mu Qingwan was very satisfied with this, and calmly found a corner to sit down. When she looked into the hall, she saw Xia Houlie sitting at the top, Yun Luo nestled in his arms intimately, and he lowered his head and whispered to her from time to time.

A few words and a very intimate look.

Mu Qingwan glanced at it and then turned away, only to realize that there were three beauties in palace attire sitting on the table next to them. At this moment, they were also glaring at Yun Luo, who was smiling brightly.

"I heard that yesterday the emperor took Concubine Yun Gui to Xueting Pavilion to enjoy the snow, and danced with her in the snow, flying together..." A beauty in red said with a sour tone.

The beauty in yellow next to her looked sideways at Yun Luo with an envious look on her face: "It is said that the emperor personally carried her back to the palace later..."

Seeing that both of them looked hopeless, the purple-clothed beauty on the side scolded coldly: "What if she is favored again? Without the emperor's heir, she is like a cat without claws, and she will not be able to stay strong for long.

Besides, the Emperor is quite wary of the Yun family. This child disappeared inexplicably. Maybe it has something to do with the Emperor..."

Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, the beauty in red hurriedly came over to cover her mouth, but she avoided her and still said:

"She was born into a noble family, and when she got the emperor's favor, she flew to the branches and became a phoenix. And all of us are just her foils..."

Her words touched the sore point of the other two people, and they both fell silent. Ever since they entered the palace, their chances of seeing the emperor were few and far between. In the past, they always followed Concubine Yun's lead, hoping to please her.

I will have more opportunities to see the emperor, but now it seems that the harem is still the harem before, and Concubine Yun is still the concubine Yun before. They are still the same as before. Their situation has not improved at all, and they are still living their days of waiting in the palace and looking through the autumn water.

.

Mu Qingwan listened to the side, also silent. She drank the wine in front of her and was about to leave. The beauty in yellow next to her noticed her. Then the two beauties in red and purple also looked over, guessing that

Unexpectedly, the whispers between the three of them had been overheard, and their faces turned pale. She smiled at them reassuringly, and then left, leaving the three beauties looking at each other stunned.

As soon as the Queen Mother arrived, everyone bowed together and took their seats. The birthday banquet officially began. The first step was to celebrate the birthday. Beiyan was full of talents, especially the civil servants who were extremely talented. It was wonderful, Mu Qingwan watched.

Xia Houlie dealt with court officials at all levels skillfully, and while appeasing the Yun family, he did not forget to cultivate his own power.

In this world, he is at home like a fish in water.

Except for the last time in the Jinluan Palace, this was the second time she saw Xia Houlie behave like this. She couldn't adapt to it. In her impression, Xia Houlie was either as cold as thousand-year-old ice, or like a violent beast.

If there was anything else, it would be that in the past dozen days, when the two of them got along peacefully, he had been as gentle as the spring breeze in March. However, this was the first time she had seen him smile like this, hiding a knife behind his smile.

Maybe this is also a side of his character. Otherwise, how could he keep his throne and power in this intrigue and deceitful environment.

Mu Qingwan secretly thought that she was thinking too much. No matter what, she had already made up her mind to leave. Now that he asked her to trust him and promised not to hurt her, why should she care about what he was like?

What methods will a person use?

Mu Qingwan, who was immersed in her own world, was suddenly awakened by the sound of silk and bamboo. When she looked up, she realized that the birthday celebration had ended and the second part of the song and dance performance had begun. Several young beauties in the palace were dancing gracefully in gauze skirts.

The beautiful and light dancing postures, coupled with the dreamlike music, made the atmosphere in the entire hall even more intense.

As soon as the song and dance performance ended, but less than an hour had passed, Mu Qingwan was shocked. It turned out that it felt like living like a year.

After barely surviving the birthday banquet, the official announced that the highlight of the night would be the prayer meeting.

After the banquet was over, there was still half an hour before the prayer meeting. The three protagonists, the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and Concubine Yun Guifei, left for a short rest. All the officials and relatives of the main hall dispersed and began to pray in the magnificent brocade.

Watching and playing in Lan Palace, there were women's families in twos and threes, and officials talking loudly. The atmosphere was much more relaxed than the banquet just now, and the hall was full of smiles.

Mu Qingwan felt bored. Such a banquet was simply a torture for her. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she hurriedly walked out.

The cold wind outside the palace blew away a lot of her depression. Anyway, the prayer meeting would only start for half an hour. She was not in a hurry to go back. She thought it would be better to wander around, so she followed Biying and Mo Ge.

She told them to be alert and come to her if anything happened, so she walked forward.

Jinlan Hall is often used for celebrations. It is surrounded by gorgeous and prosperous flowers and trees. The flowers are so lively. There is a performance stage not far away. On it, the palace maids and eunuchs come in | come out | go out. It is so lively, as if they are preparing for what's next.

Sky lanterns and candlesticks for praying.

Mu Qingwan avoided it and walked to a quiet place.

She didn’t know how long she had been walking, but she felt a little cold. When she was about to walk back, a black shadow suddenly passed by not far away. She thought it was because she was dazzled, but when she looked closer, she saw that there was indeed a figure behind the trees.

They were moving all over the place, furtively and suspiciously.

Mu Qingwan felt something strange in her heart, and walked over calmly without thinking too much.

When she got closer, she secretly took a breath, stepped forward, and rushed over, hoping to catch him off guard. However, when she got closer, the black shadow quickly slipped away. She felt even more strange, and she hurriedly used Qinggong to follow the black shadow.

The shadow goes away.

The black figure was extremely fast, and it was obvious that he was a guy with great qinggong skills. Mu Qingwan almost used her special skills before slowly approaching him. Just as she was about to catch up, there was a burst of cracks in the air.

She screamed inwardly at the sound of the sky, and subconsciously dodged the hidden weapon shot from the front. At first glance, the "hidden weapon" was just a ball of snow. When she turned around, where was the black shadow?

She quickly checked her surroundings and found no trace of him again. On the contrary, this place felt strange to her. She had just been blindly following this black figure, but she didn't know where he had taken her.

Mu Qingwan was about to find a palace attendant nearby to lure her back, but she was really unlucky today. She walked for a long time without even finding a single figure.

It's strange, when did the huge Beiyan Palace become so short of manpower? There is obviously a main hall here, but it is not a deserted place. Logically, there should be eunuchs and maids on duty, but are they all going to prepare birthday banquets? That's impossible.

Mu Qingwan walked along the palace wall for a while and reached an intersection. When she was debating whether to go left or right, she suddenly heard someone's voice coming from inside the palace wall.

She felt happy and was about to go up and knock on the door. However, she stopped in the next second and heard a sound that sounded like crying but not crying, and half smiling but not laughing. It was very much like the feeling of being dripping with joy after a hard fight.

The sound of gasping was mixed with the rough gasping of a man. After all, Mu Qingwan had also experienced it. She knew very well what such a blushing and heart-beating sound meant.

But in this palace, who else but Xia Houlie would dare to do such a thing in the palace? Could it be that Xia Houlie was having sex with a certain concubine?

She was conjecturing in her mind, but the next moment, her conjecture was severely overturned, and a strange male voice came to her ears:

"Scream! Scream louder! Haven't you dismissed all the eunuchs and maids? What else do you have to worry about... um..."

The man gasped as if he couldn't bear it, and then there was an even more intense sound of flesh hitting the wall. The clear sound came out through the wall, making Mu Qingwan's cheeks turn crimson.

Then, the woman's coquettish moans and groans quickly sounded, which sounded like enjoyment and pain. However, this sound was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but where exactly was it?
