Stunning beauty, the hero of Collapse is happy again

Chapter 125: The Gloomy Eunuch and the Imperial Concubine (28)

The voice was weak but filled with anger. Li Huaiyi was startled and immediately looked up at the delivery room.

The darkness and murderous intent in his eyes almost pierced through the barrier.

Xiao Hong was also stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took a few steps forward.

Li Huaiyi took a few quick steps and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the dragon's health is the most important thing. Please let me go in and take a look at the situation."

Xiao Hong hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand to let him in.

As soon as he entered, Li Huaiyi's heart tightened again, and he winked at Fuso and the others.

The two maids quickly took the midwife back to the main room.

Li Huaiyi bent down and knelt beside her bed. He took her hand and pressed it against his cheek. He spoke in a hoarse and trembling voice:

"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid. I've always been here. Tell me slowly, what happened?"

Ruan Guannan exhaled deeply, tears unconsciously falling from the corners of his eyes, and said in a hollow voice:

"Jin'an, those two in blue... grey clothes are trying to harm me, go... kill them!"

Li Huaiyi's eyes darkened, and his anger instantly burst out, but his voice responded to her gently:

"Okay, I will make them regret coming into this world."

After saying this, he lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, then said in a hoarse voice:

"Jiao Jiao Er, promise me, don't leave me."

The voice was extremely hoarse, with a hint of obvious fear.

Ruan Guannan's eyes curved slightly, he pursed his dry lips, and said softly:

"Kiss me... kiss me, and I'll agree to you."

Li Huaiyi's heart was so soft that he leaned over without hesitation and kissed her slightly dry lips, slowly smoothing out the sweetness and tenderness.

Soon, he kissed her hard again and stood up to call for help.

When he came out, Li Huaiyi bowed his head and reported everything to the emperor.

Xiao Hong was indeed furious, and had the two midwives dragged away and interrogated strictly.

Li Huaiyi was afraid that these two "dead people" would disturb his beloved daughter, so he had already blocked their mouths tightly.

The two midwives kept making whimpering sounds. They wanted to argue but couldn't make a sound and were dragged away in a panic.

After a while, a loud cry of a baby was suddenly heard in the delivery room, announcing his arrival.

When Chaoyang Palace was completely quiet, Li Huaiyi looked after the mother and son, then turned around and went to the inner prison.

When Li Huaiyi came back in the evening, Ruan Guannan had already woken up and was leaning on the bed teasing the child.

He looked at the mother and son from a distance, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared instantly.

After the cool air faded away, he walked over.

There was still some weakness on Ruan Guannan's face, but it did not detract from her appearance at all. Instead, it made her look more fragile, which made Li Huaiyi feel very soft-hearted.

"How are those two doing?"

Ruan Guannan asked casually.

"As soon as I entered the inner prison, I was secretly dealt with."

Li Huaiyi frowned and said in a deep voice:

"These two people should have been instigated to rebel after entering Chaoyang Palace. It can be seen that the people behind them are definitely very powerful and can even reach into the inner prison. There are only a few such people in the palace."

He already had a suspect in mind, so he turned around and said,

"Your first priority is to take care of your health. I will seek justice for you and the child."

Ruan Guannan touched his son's sleeping face and said softly:

"I'm afraid the emperor gave him the name. His surname will be Xiao from now on."

Having said that, she looked at Li Huaiyi without saying a word.

Li Huaiyi understood what she meant and said nothing. He just took her into his arms and murmured:

"It should be."

Ruan Guannan didn't hear it clearly and thought that he was unhappy about it, so he didn't say anything else.

After that, her maid Qingtang disappeared. Ruan Guannan had some guesses in his mind that Li Huaiyi must have found out something and it was related to Qingtang.

For the next month, Ruan Guannan stayed in Chaoyang Palace to recuperate after giving birth.

Before she could even return to the stage, another piece of news broke out in the palace:

Concubine Chun is pregnant!

This made Xiao Hongle very happy, and he immediately issued an imperial decree to promote her to the rank of Concubine.

In Huizhu Pavilion, Xia Luoning leaned on Xiao Hong's shoulder and said worriedly:

"Your Majesty, I am so happy to be a mother, but I am only one month pregnant now, and I am afraid..."

After saying this, Xia Luoning cried pitifully with tears in her eyes.

"I am afraid I am not lucky enough to keep him."

Xiao Hong patted her back comfortingly and assured her:

"I will protect you. I will arrange a few people to take care of you later."

Xia Luoning was delighted and her face was full of emotion.

But when she saw that the person coming was a complete stranger, the smile on Xia Luoning's face disappeared instantly.

After the others went down, she stood up suddenly, picked up the porcelain bottle at hand and smashed it hard on the ground, and then smashed it again out of anger.

That person has already returned to Panlong Palace, why wasn’t he the one sent?

Why can Ruan Guannan do it, but it’s her turn but not?

After releasing her strength, she sat back in her chair in a daze.

He looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground without saying a word, with the expression on his face flickering and difficult to discern.

On the day of the fifth prince's confinement, Xiao Hong held a full-moon banquet for him with great fanfare and gave him the name "Xiao Ling".

After many days, Ruan Guannan finally appeared in front of everyone in his best attire.

Everyone felt even more unbalanced. After giving birth to a child, this person not only did not become haggard and out of shape, but became more beautiful and attractive, and even more eye-catching than before.

Xia Luoning didn't look over here. She looked at the child in Xiao Hong's arms, and a brief flash of doubt flashed in her eyes.

An idea flashed in her mind, but before Xia Luoning could capture it, it had disappeared.

She slowly walked towards the center of the crowd, smiled and said:

"The fifth prince is very cute. Congratulations to my sister."

"My sister is pregnant now, and soon it will be my turn to congratulate you."

Xia Luoning smiled softly and said:

"Yes, I will have to ask my sister for more advice in the future."

"Don't worry, it's all thanks to your majesty that he sent such a useful person to my side. You just need to listen to what they say."

Xia Luoning's face froze for a moment, and the smile on her face fell.

Ruan Guannan ignored her expression, changed the subject, and continued:

"I heard that the Queen is particularly concerned about your health and sends nourishing medicinal food to Huizhuxuan from time to time?

My sister is so lucky to be valued by the Queen."

At this moment, Xia Luoning's face turned completely cold.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the queen was coming for her belly, but she could only greet her with a smile and swallow her anger.

When she was about to leave, Concubine Shu looked at the Fifth Prince with eyes full of pity.

I touched his soft little face carefully, feeling very satisfied.

Before leaving, she whispered, "Some people go crazy after losing their children. You'd better stay away from them."

Ruan Guannan narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled at her to express his gratitude.

After the banquet, Ruan Guannan deliberately kept Ruan's mother to chat.

She hadn't seen her mother for a long time, and the mother and daughter went into the inner room and talked for a long time.

Before leaving, Ruan's mother left a letter written by Ruan's father, asking her to read it alone later.

After seeing off Ruan's mother, Ruan Guannan went to see his sleeping son, and then returned to the inner hall to read his father's letter.

Afterwards, the hall fell into silence for a long time.

It was not until Jin Rui came in to light the lamp that Ruan Guannan placed the letter on the wick with an expressionless face and lit it, and it turned into ashes inch by inch.

A few days later, a rumor suddenly spread in the palace that the Minister of Revenue Shen Yan had embezzled more than one million taels of disaster relief funds since he was promoted to the position of Minister!

At first I thought it was just a rumor.

It was not until Shen Yan was suspended from his post and the Queen fainted outside the imperial study that everyone realized this was true.

Shen Yan, the Queen's father, relied on his status as a Duke to do many dirty things, and the Shen family's children were even more rampant in Shengjing City.

After King Heng died, they were able to live in peace for a while.

But for some unknown reason, he was suddenly reported by the Imperial Censor in the court.

He reported it directly to Xiao Hong and laid out all the evidence one by one.

Xiao Hong's face darkened and he suspended the officer from his post.

To be honest, this punishment is very light and can hardly shake the foundation of the Shen family.

Just when everyone thought that His Majesty would handle the matter with caution, suddenly an imperial decree came down.

Queen Shen was unexpectedly deposed and sent to the cold palace, and the Shen family was sentenced to the heinous crime of killing nine generations of the family!

Xiao Hong originally planned to turn a blind eye, but the deputy chief of the Imperial Household Department secretly found out some information and presented the evidence to the emperor.

It turned out that the reason why those pregnant concubines could not keep their fetuses during the past four years was because Shen gave them a medicine called "Deer-carrying Grass".

If a pregnant woman takes it, the fetus will gradually die in the womb; if a normal woman takes it, she will become sterile and childless.

Xiao Hong was furious. This vicious woman caused him to have no children and had to endure criticism from the outside world for a long time. She deserved to die.

Hence, there was the previous decree to depose the queen and execute nine clans.

A few days later, the queen suddenly died in the cold palace, with an expression of horror and madness on her face.

After Shu Guifei learned of her death, the originally peaceful person laughed for half the night.

Afterwards, he knelt in front of the Buddha statue for a long time, chanting scriptures and praying for his dead child.

Li Huaiyi watched all this with cold eyes and quietly disappeared behind the scenes...
