Great Zhou.
Go to the capital city.
Ye Jiajia, the fake emperor, sat in the palace every day. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, it was okay. After all, she meditated and practiced every day, hoping to recover her strength as soon as possible.
Recently, the empress and concubines in the palace have been restless, especially the empress and concubine Shu, whose due dates are approaching.
They became more and more irritable, and the fetus in their belly moved more and more.
However, His Majesty had been hiding in the deep palace and refused to come out to see them. The only person he met was the Princess of Shu, their virtuous concubine Chen Yuaner.
Concubine Xiao Mei's relationship with Empress Shangguan Feng'er has improved a lot. Now in the harem, Xiao Mei has no one to support her.
I'm afraid the only remaining power outside is Prime Minister Yang Zhong.
However, compared with the power behind the queen, it is still far inferior. The queen not only has the support of the general, but also the support of Prime Minister Wang An.
After all, Prime Minister Wang’s daughter, Concubine De Wang Yanran, has a very good relationship with Shangguan Wan’er, and the two are like real sisters.
"Empress." Xiao Mei walked over to Shangguan Feng'er and said earnestly.
Shangguan Feng'er took a look and quickly asked, "Sister Xiao, why did you come here suddenly?"
"Hey, don't you want to go and relax with your sister? You said we are all pitiful people. Ever since the child was born, His Majesty has ignored us."
"The baby is almost born, but His Majesty is still hiding in the Qing Palace and hasn't seen us. I'm really scared now. Will His Majesty not come out after the baby is born?"
"That won't do!"
Shangguan Feng'er sighed when she heard this and explained, "Sister, there's no need to worry."
"Your Majesty is definitely not that heartless. It's just that recently, the relationship between the virtuous concubine and Your Majesty has been so good that only she can see Your Majesty."
"Why can't the rest of us see it?"
"I don't know."
Xiao Mei was a little angry and whispered to Shangguan Feng'er, "Your Majesty, after our child is born, the virtuous concubine will definitely no longer be favored.
Moreover, the reason why Your Majesty is closer to her now is because Shu Kingdom and our continent are fighting together."
"It's just a show for the outsiders to see."
At this moment, the virtuous concubine Chen Yuan'er came in with a wooden box. She glanced at the two ladies and asked in surprise, "Are both sisters here?"
"It just so happens that I asked the imperial kitchen to make a bowl of soup. This soup can replenish nutrition, soothe the fetus and nourish the mind, so that you won't be so irritable."
Shangguan Feng'er took a look, frowning, and asked Chen Yuan'er, "I didn't expect my sister to be so kind. I'll accept the soup, but I want to ask, has His Majesty said anything to you in the past few days?"
Chen Yuan'er shook her head. "His Majesty didn't say anything. He was still in seclusion during the celebration, fasting and chanting, praying for my army."
"I don't know why, it's so strange."
Shangguan Feng'er looked at it and felt even more puzzled. She wondered why His Majesty made such a fuss.
"Okay, we've accepted the soup, sister, you can go first."
"good."
Shangguan Feng'er took the soup in her hand and looked at Xiao Mei beside her, "Sister, how about we put on a show? We can't let His Majesty be carried on his back by this virtuous concubine all the time, right?"
"Can."
Soon, the news of the victory at the border was directly transmitted to the capital and the imperial palace.
Wang An was also extremely happy and quickly brought the news to the emperor's bedroom.
"His Majesty……"
Wang An has been puzzled recently, that is, why did His Majesty suddenly become a vegetarian, chanting Buddhist scriptures, and praying for the soldiers on the front line?
This had never happened before.
This is too strange...
Could something have happened to His Majesty?
Wang Anke is an old fox. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to find out what was going on.
"His Majesty!"
At this time, Ye Jiajia had naturally heard the noise outside.
She hurriedly put on her mask and, after she looked like Liang Jing, she let him in.
"Prime Minister Wang, didn't I tell you? Don't bother me unless it's something important!"
"Why are you so stubborn about not listening?"
Ye Jiajia hid behind the screen and said coldly.
Wang An didn't know why, but he always felt that something was wrong when he heard this voice. At the same time, he felt that His Majesty seemed even colder than before.
"Your Majesty, good news has arrived from the border. Eunuch Lu led a large army to capture Yangcheng. He attacked the enemy at night and completely routed the Miao army!"
"Our army suffered few casualties. Eunuch Lu is truly amazing!"
"It is said that Eunuch Lu used something similar to a bamboo tube on the battlefield, which was very powerful."
"Oh, really?" Although Ye Jiajia was a little excited, she still expressed a very calm tone.
"It seems that my recent prayers for the soldiers at the border have had some effect. I understand. You can go down first."
However, how could the old fox Wang An leave so easily? He said slowly.
"Your Majesty, are you just going to stay hidden and not see Old Chen? I've always felt that Your Majesty's behavior has been a little strange lately. Could it be that Your Majesty is ill? Let me take a look!"
Ye Jiajia was very angry and said angrily: "Prime Minister Wang, don't go too far. I have said it before!"
"I can't see anyone during this period."
"But Your Majesty, I am also worried about you. If Your Majesty gets sick or something unexpected happens, I will be able to respond in time. If Your Majesty does not agree, I will die in this hall today."
Ye Jiajia panicked instantly. This person was Prime Minister Wang An. If she said something that angered him and he died in the hall, she would be doomed!
If he dies, the entire government will be in chaos!
Not to mention that I can't do this kind of thing myself, Lu Yun insisted that I do it. And that Emperor Liang Jing, why did he insist on letting me be this fake emperor?
You went out to have fun, leaving me here shivering.
Of course, Ye Jiajia was just complaining. She felt that Liang Jing was still very pitiful, having to stay in this palace without a chance to go out.
Since I have the opportunity this time, it is completely fine for me to take over.
She had no choice but to walk out from behind the screen. When Wang An saw Liang Jing, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty looks quite well, so I am relieved."
Wang An looked at Liang Jing in front of him, and for some reason he always felt that he was cold and icy, completely different from the previous emperor.
"Let's go!"
"I'm fine, Prime Minister Wang, rest assured. Please keep an eye on the affairs of the court."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will do my best."
