In the dark night, an old voice coughed lightly a few times and then asked, "Is Your Majesty really saying that?" ”

"Yes!" A middle-aged man's voice said in an affirmative tone: "Absolutely yes, this is reported by our people in the palace, it is absolutely reliable, this is what His Majesty said when he was walking with the queen in the imperial garden yesterday evening, but that person said it, and he is not sure whether His Majesty is serious or just talking." ”

"Whether Your Majesty is just talking or serious, this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen, otherwise the building will fall!" The old man's voice was extremely resolute.

"But...... After all, this is a private matter, and we can't interfere. The middle-aged man's voice looked very embarrassed.

"Hmph...... Heaven is selfless, do you still want me to teach you this? The old man's voice became angry: "Do you know what the consequences will be once that person becomes the emperor, and what impact it will have on our Dao system?" ”

"It's not that serious, is it?" The middle-aged man's voice was a little disapproving, "No matter how powerful that person is, he is just a martial artist, even if he has the favor of His Majesty now, at best, he will be able to jump for a few years, and when he dies, isn't it up to us to say the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"You know what." The old voice reprimanded: "That person and His Majesty are now at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, if there are no accidents, there should be no problem in living for another few decades, right?" You know how much time they can do? ”

"So what do you say?"

"What to do? Naturally, it's the first to strike! The old man's voice carried a faint hint of murderous intent.

"This ......" Hearing this, the middle-aged man's voice became hesitant, "It's just that now that person is far away in Fujian, and there are heavy troops around him, even if we want to, we don't have a chance." ”

The old man's voice, which was originally murderous, suddenly became faint, "It's not easy for us to start with that person, but there is someone here who we can still start." ”

"What...... Your Excellency...... You ......" the middle-aged man's voice became alarmed: "But...... But that one has no heirs now, once he dies, won't there be no one to inherit our Ming Dao lineage? ”

"What are you afraid of!" The old man's voice said easily: "Even if that one is dead, isn't there still a rule called brother to brother, if that one is gone, we can still help his brother up." ”

The old voice did not have a trace of burden and guilt when it said this, but only inadvertently revealed indifference and murderous intent......

When the weather came in June of the seventh year, the weather began to get hot, and the capital located in the north could not escape the tea poison of Xia Laohu, Zhu Youxiao, who was afraid of heat, had not slept very well these days, and he didn't have much energy all day, one day, a personal eunuch gave him an idea, since the weather is so hot, why don't you go to the inner lake behind the Forbidden City to play and escape the heat?

Zhu Youxiao thought this idea was very good, so he agreed with kindness. Originally, Zhu Youxiao wanted to call the queen and several concubines to go together, but the eunuch who was close to him said that the queen and several concubines were pregnant, and if they went to the inner lake to swim, they might not be good for the phoenix body.

Zhu Youxiao listened to it and felt that it made sense, so after the review of the folds, he took a few eunuchs and palace maids to the inner lake for a boat trip, sitting on the cruise ship, he looked at the inner lake full of lotus flowers, enjoyed the cool breeze blowing around, and then drank fragrant tea, Zhu Youxiao only felt extremely comfortable.

In the afternoon, Kunning Palace

Due to her pregnancy, Zhang Yan became particularly sleepy during this time, so she took a nap in her room after dinner and didn't get up until it was close to unitary. At this moment, she was sitting lazily on a round stool, letting her personal palace maid comb her hair.

During this period of time, Zhang Yan only felt that her appetite was much better, and her whole person became plump, and her original melon seed face had also become the shape of a goose egg.

Looking at the incomparably clear face reflected in the dresser, Zhang Yan complained with some annoyance: "This palace has really gained a lot of weight during this time, has it become ugly." ”

Zhang Yan's personal palace maid's name is Chu Rui, although she is not yet sixteen years old, but she is an "old man" who has been in the palace for three or four years, and she is also Zhang Yan's personal palace maid, after hearing Zhang Yan's complaints, Chu Rui pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "The queen is not ugly, although the slave maid has never given birth to a child, but she also knows that this woman will definitely be fatter once she has a child, but this can't be a thing, after all, it is a person who has to eat the weight of two people, but this is only temporary, after the child is born, The queen mother will lose weight quickly if she exercises properly, such as dancing more "dances". ”

"Flutter!"

Zhang Yan was amused by Chu Rui's words, turned around and gently touched her forehead with her white and slender index finger, "You little girl, I haven't even seen a few men, but you say it right, it seems to be the same as the truth, fortunately, there are no outsiders here, otherwise it would be a joke." ”

"Not really!" Chu Rui, who was laughed at by Zhang Yan, pouted unconvinced: "These are all what the slave maid said before she entered the palace, and the slave maid has always remembered it, absolutely right." ”

"Good...... It's ......" Zhang Yan couldn't help but smile and said: "After you are a few years older in a few years, the palace will tell Your Majesty, give you a coil, and let you out of the palace in advance, so that you can marry in style." ”

The rules in the palace are that the palace maids will be released from the palace after they are twenty-three or twenty-five years old, and these palace maids who come out of the palace are not worried about getting married, because in the eyes of the people, these palace maids have served the emperor and harem concubines, and they have seen the world. And those who can enter the palace to serve the emperor or the concubine will naturally not be bad in appearance, and it is also a very face-saving thing to be able to marry them, so these Zhang Yan will say so.

It's just that Chu Rui's small mouth pouted even more, "Niangniang, do you dislike the slave and maid for not serving well, and you are going to drive the slave and maid away now." ”

"You stupid girl!"

Zhang Yan flicked her forehead angrily and funny, "Unless you have been favored by Your Majesty, the palace maid who has reached the age according to the rules of the palace will be sent out of the palace, besides, you are still so young and have a good life, of course this palace can't watch you grow old here for the rest of your life." ”

"Niangniang......" looked at Zhang Yan with a loving face, Chu Rui's eyes suddenly turned red, and she just wanted to say something, when she heard a loud footsteps outside, as if a group of people were running outside.

Zhang Yan looked surprised, and before she could speak, Chu Rui put down the comb and walked quickly to the outside door, and shouted to the door: "Who are you?" Is there any rule, I don't know if this is the queen's bedroom, how many of you dare to make noise here? ”

Hatsurui's words didn't seem to be of any use, and the noise outside became louder. At this time, even Zhang Yan was a little displeased, only to see her willow eyebrows frown slightly and stand up, but before she could walk to the door, she heard a sharp voice shouting at the door with a crying voice: "Queen Mother, something is wrong, Your Majesty is ...... Your Majesty, something happened to him. ”

Zhang Yan suddenly chuckled in her heart, and a bad premonition suddenly surged up from her heart. However, she still tried to suppress the panic in her heart, and asked calmly, "Something's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

At this time, an obese eunuch appeared at the door, knelt on the ground with a handful of snot and tears, and cried: "Niangniang, today Your Majesty went boating in the inner lake, unfortunately fell into the water, although he was rescued, but now he is still unconscious, and now the imperial doctor is rescuing." ”

"What...... Your Majesty drowned while rafting? ”

Zhang Yan only felt that it was dark in front of her, and her body shook and leaned to the side, but fortunately, Chu Rui on the side was quick and quickly stepped forward to support Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan, who grew up in the people, is actually quite strong, although she didn't know whether her husband was alive or dead after falling into the water, but after the initial panic, she quickly sobered up, and the first thing she said was to take the palace to see His Majesty immediately.

When Zhang Yan came to the Qianqing Palace where Zhu Youxiao was located, she immediately smelled a strong smell of wormwood. And her husband was lying on the dragon bed, his face was pale, his upper body was naked, and the two imperial doctors were putting a piece of ginger on Zhu Youxiao's navel, and a small moxa stick was placed on the ginger piece.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yan's heart sank, at this time, she only felt that her legs were weak, and she didn't collapse to the ground by relying on Chu Rui on the side to help her.

"Come here!" Zhang Yan, who was holding back to prevent herself from falling, beckoned to a gray-bearded imperial doctor.

"I've seen the Queen Mother." The imperial doctor hurriedly walked over and saluted Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan took a deep breath and asked, "Imperial Doctor Zhang, how is the situation of Your Majesty, you have to tell the truth to this palace!" ”

Imperial Doctor Zhang said with a bitter face: "Back to the queen's mother, Your Majesty has been in the water for too long, and when he was rescued, the situation was already very critical, and now the ministers are rescuing Your Majesty, but whether you can save Your Majesty depends on the will of heaven." ”

"Falling overboard for too long?" Hearing this, Zhang Yan's pink face immediately darkened, "Your Majesty's side is watching at any time, when he falls into the water, he should be rescued as soon as possible, how can there be such a thing as falling into the water for too long." ”

Imperial Doctor Zhang's forehead also appeared sweaty, and he was secretly scolding his mother in his heart, at this moment he just wanted to say that Lao Tzu was just an imperial doctor, how could he know these bullshit things.

However, Zhang Yan is not stupid, she quickly understood that she was probably asking the wrong person.

At this time, she had been supported by Chu Rui to sit on the chair beside her, and a palace maid sent a bowl of ginseng soup, her face improved after drinking a few sips of ginseng soup, and she said: "Come on, call Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian!" ”

"Mother, the slave is here!"

As soon as Zhang Yan finished speaking, she saw two figures running over panting......
