Shen Yuexi came to sit down at the table next to Empress Wen, and said to Empress Wen: "Empress, are you worried about Prince Ping?"

Empress Wen nodded lightly, sighed and said: "Now there are only two of us here, there is no need to face each other with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, I want to tell you something from my heart."

Seeing the sadness in her eyes, Shen Yuexi couldn't help feeling compassionate, and said, "Please tell me, empress, I am here to listen."

"Momo must have told you that His Majesty issued a decree to establish a crown prince and hung it on the Star Picking Tower. This incident...seems to have blocked the mouths of all the ministers, but it was self-defeating. It really messed up."

Shen Yuexi didn't understand what Empress Wen said, and asked suspiciously: "Empress Empress, how can you mess things up?"

"Beiheng doesn't know who the prince who made the decree is, so he doesn't think about food and drink, and can't sleep at night," Queen Wen said, with red eyes. "He has suffered from insomnia since he was a child, and he often wakes up with nightmares at night. He is a The child who can't bear to be frightened, now... well, but the emperor's eloquent words, the decree has been made, so naturally he can't take it back. I asked His Majesty privately, and His Majesty didn't tell me the content of the decree."

Shen Yuexi believed what Queen Wen said.Xiao Beiheng's problem with being unable to sleep was known from the first time she and Xiao Beiheng came into contact.Later, Xiao Beiheng asked Hua Duoduo to exorcise him. She participated in the whole process and knew Xiao Beiheng's problem very well.

It is torture when one cannot rest well.

It's just a pity that the medicine she made back then, because Hua Duoduo was punished by Emperor Qi Ming, and the medicine disappeared, so Xiao Beiheng didn't get it.

"He is my only son. He can't fall asleep. As a mother, how can I not be in a hurry. It's okay for a person to not sleep for a day or two. If this continues..." Queen Wen raised her hand to press the corner of her eye, but she still couldn't sleep. Stopping the tears from shedding, "I came to you this time to urge Momo to go back to accompany her husband. I was very irritable all the way, and I couldn't control my emotions when I saw you. Don't worry about it."

Seeing that Queen Wen directly admitted her mistake, Shen Yuexi naturally couldn't take it to heart.After all, Empress Wen is also the mother of her younger brother Xiao Beiheng.If she took the initiative to admit her mistake, what more could she ask for.

"The queen's words are serious. At that time, the concubine was indeed disrespectful, and it happened that the queen was in a bad mood."

As she spoke, she took out a silk handkerchief and handed it to Queen Wen.

She could see that Queen Wen was really worried about Xiao Beiheng.Unexpectedly, Emperor Qi Ming's will would have such a big impact.

Empress Wen took Sipa and lifted the veil to wipe the tears on her cheeks.

Shen Yuexi took this opportunity to see the whole picture of Queen Wen.

It can be seen that Queen Wen must have been a beautiful woman when she was young, with a straight nose and bright and moist lips.But it should be because of getting older, when the eyes are closed tightly, there are several fine lines at the corners of the eyes, and with the white hair all over the head, the whole person has a feeling of aging beyond age.If she were to sum it up, it would be that Empress Wen seemed to be aging due to excessive worrying.

Empress Wen shed tears, put down her veil, and said to Shen Yuexi: "I can see that you are a reasonable woman, and you are not very concerned about the crown prince."

Shen Yuexi said: "The empress is right, my concubine is seriously vomiting, and I haven't been out much since Qixi Festival."

Everyone can see this matter, and she needs Su Mo to tell her about such a big matter as Li Chu.It's clearly a sign of indifference.

"You and Prince An have suffered so much since you were exiled by the first emperor, you have fought with Xirong, and you have also fought with Prince Jing's son." Empress Wen looked around, "Now you are sitting in two states. Having such a beautiful palace in Shengjing is also a reward for your previous suffering."

Shen Yuexi found that Empress Wen knew her and Xiao Zhuo's past quite clearly. Seeing Empress Wen's praise, she also responded modestly:

"These are all rewards from His Majesty, King An and my concubine are very grateful."

Empress Wen pinched her fingers and did the math, Wen said: "I've done the math, you're going to give birth in May next year, right?"

Shen Yuexi also secretly made up her mind.

She learned that she was pregnant on Qixi Festival.Doctor Hua checked the pulse and said that she was pregnant for one and a half months.Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, it has been almost three months in total.Calculated in ten months, it should be between April and May next year.

She nodded and said, "The empress is right, it should be around April in the lunar calendar next year, and around May in the solar calendar."

"You and King An agree in love and are carefree. We will have another child next year, and the whole family will be happy," Queen Wen said with a smile, "It's not like I worry about it all day. I'm a little envious of you."

Shen Yuexi also felt a little flustered when she heard it, with a happy smile on her face.

Thinking about the day the baby was born, Xiao Zhuo must have been grinning from ear to ear.I just don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl.However, regardless of gender, she must take good care of her, and the family must be happy and happy.

But after thinking about it, what is the purpose of Queen Wen praising her for so long?

Empress Wen has been worried about Xiao Beiheng, so she should still talk about Xiao Beiheng.

Sure enough, after Empress Wen finished her compliments, she said to her: "There is a saying... I know it's not appropriate, but I still have to say it, otherwise I will come in vain."

Shen Yuexi said: "Empress, but it doesn't matter."

"Your Majesty's decree to establish a crown prince has been made. Neither King Liping nor King Li'an can change it," Queen Wen said, "Now Bei Heng is anxious about this matter. I, a mother, have nothing to do but come to find You. I wonder if you can write to His Majesty King An...to give up the crown prince...to Beiheng?"

Shen Yuexi suddenly realized.No wonder Empress Wen praised her for being so good and so good. It turned out that it was because of this sentence.

To her, it was nothing at all.Originally, she planned to tell Su Mo that when Xiao Zhuo came back, she would go to Shengjing with Xiao Zhuo to give up the crown prince and not compete with Xiao Beiheng.

So what if she doesn't become the prince, now she just wants the whole family to be safe, and nothing else is important.

The only thing she was afraid of was Xiao Beiheng.Xiao Beiheng is too sinister and vicious, even if she has reconciled with him and celebrated Qixi Festival, but with Xiao Beiheng's capricious character, she is always worried that something will go wrong in the future.

To put it bluntly, the problem was with Xiao Beiheng, not with her and Xiao Zhuo.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Empress Wen said again: "Princess An, what you get now is enough, I can see that you are very satisfied. But Bei Heng is not, he has always wanted to be the prince, he followed His Majesty to fight around, in This is the most important thing in his eyes..."

Seeing Empress Wen's anxious tone, Shen Yuexi knew that she was a little anxious to see if she didn't answer, so she smiled and said:
"Empress, I also know that my brother values ​​this. You are right, I am very content. But I have to tell my husband about what you said, and I can't make decisions on my own."

"I came here from the capital on purpose, the most important thing is for this matter," Empress Wen sighed, "Bei Heng is your younger brother, you should let him be your elder brother and sister-in-law. As a mother, I really I can't stand my son being tortured like this."

Seeing that Empress Wen was about to cry again, Shen Yuexi said quickly: "Empress Empress, there is no problem on my side. It's just that I really can't make the decision. You can rest here for a few days, and wait for King An to come back..."

Empress Wen shook her head and said: "I am the mother of a country, how can I stay here forever. But I am satisfied with your words. I will go back to visit Beiheng, and I will leave for Beijing this afternoon."

Shen Yuexi said: "In that case, let's wait for my concubine to accompany the empress to have dinner."

Before Xiao Zhuo ordered that cooking is not allowed in the palace, but these chefs have suffered so much that they set up a stove outside the wall of the palace to cook in the open air.This time the queen is visiting, it is not suitable to cook in the open air, so everyone moved all the things back to the kitchen to do.Come and go, until now lunch is not ready.

Empress Wen said with a smile: "When you mentioned meals, you reminded me. I almost forgot what His Majesty ordered. Come here."

Xia Lan walked in quickly from the door, knelt down and kowtowed: "Following the Queen's order, I have boiled the anti-abortion medicine given by Your Majesty."

"Okay, bring it up quickly and let Concubine An take it," Queen Wen said with a smile to Shen Yuexi, "Your Majesty is very happy to know that you are pregnant, and specially asked me to bring you the anti-fetal medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor." drink."

Shen Yuexi was also very happy, she stood up and thanked her: "I thank Your Majesty and Empress for the reward."

A court lady brought in a steaming delicate medicine cup on a tray, put it on the table in front of Shen Yuexi, and saluted Shen Yuexi: "Princess An, please take it slowly."

When the palace maid retreated, Empress Wen smiled and said: "Princess An, there is only one dose of this medicine, and it needs to be taken while it is hot. It will have no effect when it is cold. After you drink it, I can go back to deliver the order."

Shen Yuexi leaned forward slightly and looked at the dark brown medicinal soup in the purple medicine cup. There was a strong medicinal fragrance coming out of her nostrils. She had also seen the medicine that Dr. Hua made for Mei Dai, and she could tell that it was a carefully cooked medicinal soup. .

This is Emperor Qi Ming's wish, and she is still very grateful.

"I will drink now."

She picked up the spoon placed next to the medicine cup, stretched out her hand to scoop up a spoonful of medicinal soup, brought it to her lips and blew it, letting the medicinal soup cool down a little.

Before sending it to his mouth, the long-lost voice of Big Bear rang happily in his mind.

"Dear master, the food in your hands contains poisonous substances that can kill you, so don't eat it."
