The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 87 Ready
Qin Wan hesitated, and looked down at Yuan Chen who was lying on the slum.He didn't open his eyes, as if he was talking nonsense.

"Don't Miss Si and Beauty Liang serve you well?" Qin Wan continued to help him rub his temples, "Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?"

Yuan Chen raised his right hand to hold Qin Wan's hand, put it to his lips and kissed the back of her hand gently: "But what I really want is you, Wanwan. Only when you are by my side can I feel relaxed and feel at ease. There are not so many troublesome state affairs. I am not a king with you, but an ordinary person. I want to really be the husband of the night, like an ordinary family, hugging each other and falling asleep every night, not other people. Her pretentious concubines."

"Your Majesty said so, those girls should be sad." Qin Wan smiled.

"Wanwan," Yuan Chen opened his eyes, the corners of which were slightly raised with sadness, "Believe it or not, I am willing to give you everything, even my life."

"Yuan Chen, what are you talking about?" Qin Wan ignored him, turned around and pulled a blanket from the side to cover him.

Yuan Chen put Qin Wan's hand beside his face, leaned gently on the back of her hand, and stared into her eyes: "Wanwan, if you didn't leave when you could, I knew you had me in your heart. You blame me for keeping you in Yingyang City, for keeping you in the cold palace... I am waiting for you to forgive me, and I am waiting for the day when you are willing to accept sleeping. Don't worry, I won't force you, but please You don't go anywhere."

Qin Wan covered Yuan Chen with a blanket, and smiled softly at him: "Okay, I'm not going anywhere, I'll just stay here with you, take a nap, and I'll call you when we have dinner."

Yuan Chen slowly closed his eyes.

After Yuan fell into a deep sleep, Qin Wan withdrew his hand from his face and continued to stand by the pool feeding the fish.She looked to the north and hummed softly.

At this time, Lie Xie walked to the pond and said in a low voice: "Madam, just now the imperial hospital reported that Tian Zhaorong is pregnant, and it has been more than two months. Chen imperial order sent someone to send the news secretly, saying that Madam Zhaorong is afraid The child is not stable for three months, so the Tai Hospital is not allowed to report this matter to His Majesty."

Qin Wan smiled, Tian Zhaorong was Tian Zhixin's niece, she was not afraid that the baby would be unstable before it was three months old, but that Qin Wan would have thoughts about the fetus in her womb.

Qin Wan sighed, she wasn't some black lotus villain empress, how could she have such a dark heart to attack the fetus.

But Qin Wan knew that the opportunity she had been waiting for had arrived.

Qin Wan asked: "Does Tian Zhixin know?"

"I already know, it was the imperial doctor Duan who was in charge of Tian Zhaorong's pulse diagnosis at the Imperial Hospital who went to the General's Mansion and said it." Lie Xie replied.

"Are you sure the child in her stomach belongs to His Majesty?" Qin Wan raised his hand and threw a piece of fish food into the fish pond.

Lie Xian was stunned.

Qin Wan turned to Lie Xie and said, "If the child belongs to His Majesty, then Tian Zhaorong is really lucky to be able to give birth to His Majesty's first child."

"!" Lie Xie suddenly came to his senses, "Ma'am, this subordinate will go and investigate right away."

After finishing speaking, Lie Xian hurried to the internal affairs office.

Qin Wan looked back at Yuan Chen who was sleeping peacefully, and sighed softly.

Everyone said that Ning Yi killed all 3000 people in the palace, she felt a little unbelievable, so she asked Yuan Ying if Ning Yi also killed the children in the harem.

Yuan Ying was stunned at the time, saying that most of the people who were killed in the palace were the recalcitrant Liang Guo Guards.The death of those court ladies and concubines was because Liu Changshan spread in the palace that the Northern Army would humiliate the harem women, causing them to commit suicide after being too scared.

As for children... Emperor Liang has no heirs at all, and the entire Yingyang Harem has no children.

Looking at Yuan Chen, Qin Wan felt a little soft-hearted for the first time.

Five days before leaving, after going through the inspection by the Internal Affairs Office, Tingwei Mansion, and Imperial Hospital, and Si Qi's private inquiry among the courtiers, the fetus in Tian Zhaorong's womb was indeed as Qin Wan expected, and it was indeed not Yuan Shen's.

Tian Zhaorong knelt in front of Yuan Chen, crying until the pear blossoms rained, and begged Yuan Chen to spare the life of the baby in her womb.

Yuan Shen's face was gloomy, and the entire Fenghua Palace was shrouded in a highly tense atmosphere.

Qin Wan stood beside Yuan Chen, watching all this calmly.

What happened to Tian Zhaorong, her life, the life of the biological father of the fetus in her womb, and even the life of the nine clans of the Tian family were all at stake, all in the words of Yuan Shen.

Apart from Tian Zhaorong's weeping, no one made a sound in the hall.

"Wanwan, Tian Zhaorong is a woman in the harem, and you are a noble concubine. It is up to you to decide how to deal with her." Yuan Shen said quietly.

Qin Wan walked up to Tian Zhaorong, took a deep breath, and asked, "If you tell the name of the child's father, you and the child will not die."

As soon as this remark came out, He Gong was astonished.

No one expected that Qin Wan would give Tian Zhaorong a chance.

Tian Zhaorong stopped crying and looked at Qin Wan gratefully, but she just bit her lower lip and said nothing.

"You want to protect that man? Is it worth it?" Qin Wan asked again.

Tian Zhaorong's tears dripped down like broken beads.

"Stupid woman, if that man really loves you, how could he let you get pregnant? Even if you have the same heart and love for a while, he should know your identity and the environment you are in, and can't let you have any pregnancy. risk." Qin Wan said helplessly.

Tian Zhaorong just cried, from the sob at the beginning to the almost desperate sob in the end.

"If you don't say it, the Tian family will be wiped out along with you. Are you unwilling to reveal the name of the child's father?" Qin Wan asked forcefully.

Tian Zhaorong was stubborn enough, and kowtowed to Qin Wan, "I am willing to bear all the responsibilities..."

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I can't help you." Qin Wan ordered Liexiu, "Lock her up and ask Imperial Physician Chen to prepare an abortion pill for her, and let her make her own choice. Either abort the fetus and leave the palace alive and return to Tian’s house, or give birth to a child and give a white silk, if the child is a boy, he will be sent to Hanshan Temple to be a young monk, if it is a girl, he will be sent to Ziwu Temple to be a little Taoist nun.”

Qin Wan turned around and asked Yuan Chen: "Your Majesty, do you agree with this way of dealing with the concubine?"

Yuan Chen walked to her side and held her hand: "Wan Wan is soft-hearted, so I will do as Wan Wan said." After that, he dragged Qin Wan to the inner hall for dinner.

Lie Xie sent Tian Zhaorong back to her own palace. After returning, Fang Qing curiously asked Lie Xie: "The head of Lie, how did Tian choose?"

"She chose to have a child..." Lie Xie replied.

Fang Qing had a three-point smile in his eyes and seven-pointed admiration: "The concubine Xiang is brilliant, and she leaves a little room for others in her work. This move is enough to buy the hearts of the concubine He Gong."

Si Qi leaned over and asked curiously: "Eunuch Fang, Si Qi doesn't understand, since the empress is a good person, isn't she afraid of His Majesty's dissatisfaction?"

Fang Qing explained: "Si Shanggong, you only see that the concubines in this palace are all guessing about His Majesty's thoughts, and they care about His Majesty's thoughts everywhere. But the noble concubine is better than these ordinary concubines in that she seems to be kind. He asked Tian to choose between himself and the child, and leave one life. But in fact, for the mother and the child, whether to lose the mother and keep the child, or lose the child and keep the mother, no matter which choice is murderous. The ruthlessness is in a place we can hardly detect, and what His Majesty likes is the temperament of the empress."

Si Qi nodded with a half understanding.

After Tian Zhaorong's incident, the Tian family was completely ignored by Yuan Chen.

Yuan Shen agreed to Qin Wan's proposal and asked Tian Zhixin to lead troops to the southeast coast to fight against pirates and win Japanese pirates in the east.

Although there are military generals in the court who object, it is not wise to transfer the army to the southeast coast when the Beirong is eyeing and intending to go south.But Yuan Shen still insisted on transferring Tian Zhixin and his troops.

And his son Tian Chen led the remaining [-] troops to garrison Yuheng.

Qin Wan summoned Si Qi, and whispered in her ear: "Si Qi, help me out and see who among the courtiers has the ability to keep Tian Zhixin completely on the southeast coast, and don't let him come back."

There was a hint of cunning in Si Qi's eyes: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Tian Zhixin has made many enemies in the court, and there are too many people who want him to stay in the South China Sea forever. This is easy."

Qin Wan rewarded Si Qi with the emerald bracelet on his wrist with appreciation.

Without Tian Zhixin in the court, the power of the Lord Peace faction is growing stronger day by day.

With the help of Si Qi, most of the young people of the Zhuhe faction gradually took the main positions in the Nanliang Chaotang.In particular, Si Qi's three brother-in-laws have made steady progress, rising all the way to the ranks of the Jiuqing, and their friends from the Imperial Academy have had smooth official careers since they were young, and have also received a lot of support from the Si family.

Qin Wan smiled as he looked at the roster of court officials sent by Fang Qing.

This group of cowardly scholars and students ascended to these crucial positions. The moment Beirong went south, they were no different from waste.

Qin Wan fed the fish, and the fish in the pond became bigger and fatter.

She looked at the surface of the pool, and a lotus flower was just about to bloom.

"It's almost summer... everything is ready... now I just need to wait for the flowers to bloom." She threw the last handful of fish food into the pond, turned and left.
