Chapter 398

When Chuntao heard this, she broke out in a cold sweat, "It's all because the slaves didn't think carefully, and almost hurt the empress... But... we are in the cold palace... What if the emperor doesn't recognize the child after it is born?"

Lin Lang bit her lip, thinking that this was also a problem, "Well... this is also a problem, let me think about it, anyway, it's still a long time before delivery!"

After thinking about it for several days, Lin Lang didn't come up with a reason, and could only let the time pass day by day.

At night, when it was time for the emperor to rest, the eunuch came over caringly and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, which empress' palace are you planning to leave for today?"

The emperor rubbed his brows and waved his hands, "Forget it, I will stay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation today!"

The eunuch hesitated a bit, "But... today is the fifteenth day, so I should go to the empress's place as usual..."

The queen's face, the emperor still has to give, the emperor stood up, "Then drive to Fengyang Palace!"

"Yes!" The eunuch immediately sent a young eunuch with quick hands and feet to announce the decree. He originally wanted the emperor to be driven in a sedan chair, but the emperor saw that the weather was fine today, so he became interested and went on foot. l
A group of people were walking in the imperial garden. The starlight in the sky and the faint fragrance of flowers were originally a beautiful picture. Suddenly, from nowhere, there was a rooster crowing, which startled the emperor, and he looked around twice, " Did I hear it wrong? How could there be a chicken crowing?"

The eunuch also felt puzzled, and quickly locked in a direction, "According to the rules in the palace, the ingredients that can enter the imperial dining room must be slaughtered... and the servant has never heard of it... Which lady I have raised chickens, but according to my slave's observation... the voice should come from the cold palace."

"The other side of the Leng Palace?" The emperor frowned, his handsome face was full of puzzlement, he finally thought of something, his face darkened, "Is the Ning family in the Leng Palace?"

"Reporting to the emperor, yes, at the beginning according to the emperor's will, the Ning family was thrown into the cold palace, and they will not be allowed to step out of the cold palace for life." The eunuch lowered his head.

"Heh, since we heard the crowing of a rooster, let's go and see what's going on!" The emperor also felt irritable. He was thinking about the scenery when he suddenly heard a crowing cock. His good mood was completely gone, and his face was terribly ugly. He wanted to find out the culprit.

At this time, Chuntao ran in with an egg in her hand happily, and said with a smile, "Mother, our chicken has laid an egg!"

"I said it's late at night, why the rooster crows, so it's laying eggs!" Lin Lang said with a smile, taking back her needle and thread.

"With these eggs, we will be able to make up for the little prince when the empress gives birth to the little prince!" Chuntao said happily.

Lin Lang nodded, feeling that sitting all the time was boring, so she stood up, "Then let's go and see this great hero!"

Lin Lang was holding the eggs, and just walked out of the door when she saw a group of people carrying lanterns, opening the door and entering, and the emperor with an ugly face came into view.

"Greetings to the emperor!" Lin Lang didn't care about her big belly, and knelt down directly.

"Mr. Ning, you are so big..." The emperor didn't continue, because he saw Lin Lang's big belly, and a look of surprise flashed across his face, "You...what's the matter with your belly? If I remember correctly , Didn’t your child abort?”

Lin Lang lowered her head and said flatly: "Reporting to the emperor, the imperial doctor said at the time that he couldn't keep it, but he didn't expect that the concubine's life would be saved, and the child would be saved in the end!"

After the emperor heard this, his eyes flashed, and the eunuch quickly understood what it meant, and immediately stepped forward, helped Lin Lang up, and said respectfully: "Master Ning, get up quickly, don't wrong the little prince!"

Lin Lang stood up slowly, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor let out a cold snort in dissatisfaction, "Since you have to keep it, why didn't you report it then?"

"Sinful concubine... At the beginning when the emperor put the guilty concubine into limbo, no one dared to speak for the guilty concubine, and there was no way to contact the emperor, so this..."

"Are you blaming me?" the emperor said indifferently.

Lin Lang shook her head, "The guilty concubine dare not!"

The emperor waved his sleeves, "Since the child is saved, you can go back to the harem from now on. I hope you can learn from the previous lesson and stop being a monster. You must know that my child is not yours."

After the emperor finished speaking, he left, leaving the eunuch to deal with the aftermath.

"Master Ning, you have come to the end of your hardships now... It's getting late now, and this servant dare not let Master Ning take the risk of returning to the palace, so please make peace with your master here first. Tomorrow, the servant will send someone to pick him up. Palace." The chief eunuch looked at the sky, but he really didn't dare to take any risks, so he said these words.

Lin Lang nodded. She didn't want to go back in the middle of the night. It would lose her face at all. At least she could let others know that she was being picked up and not going back by herself.

On the way back, the emperor kept recalling the scene of Lin Lang's big belly in his mind. He had to say that he was excited once. Of course, it was not because of Lin Lang's excitement, but because of that child who was about to arrive. In the first year of his life, except for a princess, he had no other heirs for the time being. He went to the harem, and the whole body was affected by it. He had no heirs.

Then how could it be possible, how could he hand over the throne to others after he finally got the throne, if this is a prince, then the burden on him would be lightened a lot.

Thinking of this, the emperor turned around and said to the eunuch beside him: "Tomorrow, you go to announce the decree and promote Ning Guiren as Ning Jieyu. By the way, our imperial physician will show her to take a good pulse!"

The eunuch carefully noted that early the next morning, the entire harem knew that Lin Lang had come out of Nangong, and that she had a child in her belly for six months.

"Your Majesty, what did you say? The emperor went to the Leng Palace. Didn't the slaves say it's not good... It's just a six-month-old child, it's really..." Chun Tao recalled what Lin Lang had said, her face was full of sadness .

"Okay, you and I can't say for sure about this kind of thing, but it was discovered, so we can only go on." Linlang sighed, patted Chuntao's hand, and said, "During this time, you have been with me." I have worked hard by my side, and from now on, you will be my maid of honor!

Now I have been named Jieyu, and I have a female official by my side. I am going to let you replace me. Although I am only a seventh-rank official, at least I don’t have to be beaten and scolded by others like other court ladies. Sister, this is also a real one. Your official position is recognized by the imperial court. After you leave the palace, this status will give you a lot of glory. "

When Chuntao heard this, she was overjoyed, "Thank you, my servant, but I am leaving the palace... I want to serve my lady all the time, and I hope she will give me permission."
