Chapter 55 Jin Ling 55
"The general is busy with all kinds of affairs every day and must take care of his health. Don't overwork yourself." Jin Ling remained as steady as a rock with her big belly. When everyone on the boat was busy because Ma Yuanwei was almost drowned in the lake, she was the only one who was still leaning on the imperial concubine's throne. She even remembered to eat a few grapes that were delivered by the express horse while watching him look so miserable after being rescued.
"If someone were to accidentally fall into such a small pond, wouldn't the great situation created by the general with all his efforts be lost to others?"
As she said this, she touched her belly, which was nine months pregnant, in a very hateful way.
As expected, Ma Yuanying, who was about to explode, glanced at her round belly and could only lower his head in resentment. "Your Highness is right. I still have a hundred years to serve the Tang Dynasty. I will definitely rest well and will not let anything that worries you happen to happen."
"Then I'm relieved." Jin Ling turned and started chatting with Gao Xianyang, leaving him aside.
After she had gotten all the details of Gao Xianyang's ancestors out of the way, she suddenly spoke to Ma Yuanying, catching him off guard: "So, Master Gao really does have a profound family background and is a talented young man. He just saved the general's life. It's no wonder that a talent like him was so highly valued by the emperor before."
"I just don't know why the general never assigned a position to Guard Gao after he took over the administration."
Seeing Ma Yuanyi's expression of surprise, Jin Ling said while deliberately showing a fake smile: "Hahaha~ However, I am just a noble concubine, and I don't know much about the affairs of your court. But for saving my life this time, General Ma should repay you in some way, right?"
"Even if you can't be promoted to a higher position, you should at least reward us with a few thousand taels of silver to show our great general's financial strength!"
He did not want to repay Gao Xianyang, and even wanted to kill Ma, the first person to support the emperor. General of the 100,000 Shen Ce Army. Yuan. Master of poison. He was corrupt and had huge wealth. Hawk: ………
I always feel that this bitch is deliberately sarcastic in every word she says.
Ma Yuanyi nodded at Jin Ling with a forced smile, "Your Majesty, you're joking. I'm just a soldier, living off the imperial court. How could I possibly have the energy or the financial resources to repay Lord Gao for saving my life?"
"On the contrary, my general's Shen Ce Army welcomes brave and righteous men like Lord Gao."
In Ma Yuanyi's mind, Emperor Li Yi had already been poisoned to death on Mount Tai, so Gao Xianyang was naturally nothing to be feared. He planned to insert the man into his own Shen Ce Army and kill him without anyone noticing.
By then, Jin Ling, who had lost her only bodyguard, and the baby in her belly would be at his mercy.
Speaking of which, he should thank the Imperial Concubine for giving him a chance, so that he can repay Guard Gao.
Jin Ling spoke directly, interrupting Ma Yuanying's beautiful imagination: "Guard Gao, why don't you come and thank the general for giving you the opportunity."
"I wonder how many of General Ma's Shen Ce Army are desperate to get in." Jin Ling waved her hand and called Gao Xianyang to her side: "When you go there, you must work hard to help General Ma."
So this is what the woman had in mind.
Ma Yuanying understood the meaning of her words and let go of the last bit of hesitation in his heart.
If this woman thinks that the Shen Ce Army, which she has painstakingly built up, can be so easily taken over by the other party, then she is too naive.
But, this is only good for me, isn't it?
Surprisingly, Ma Yuanyi did not argue too much with Jin Ling about this matter. Within three days after he returned, he transferred the man to his Shen Ce Army and generously appointed him as Major General.
But their facade of harmony was about to expire. Both sides knew the truth and waited for the other to show weakness.
The flaws in Jin Ling's faction were discovered earlier than anyone expected.
Three days later, at night, her belly, which had just turned nine months old, began to move.
Ma Yuanyi learned the news from Concubine Xian almost immediately. He was overjoyed and sent someone to guide Concubine Xian while rushing to the palace.
The entire Cheng Huan Palace did not become a mess as he had hoped. At the critical moment, the two right-hand men she had carefully trained, Xiao Xiao and Fei Yan, supported Cheng Huan Palace.
The entire Cheng Huan Palace was in chaos yet in good order, with all the necessary people present. Jin Ling, who was in labor pains, even thought of the seriously ill Queen Mother and ordered Ruan Shang Gong and Liu Si Zhen to go to Ci Ning Palace to look after her.
Ma Yuanying couldn't help but spit secretly, and felt troubled by this slippery woman.
He could only pretend to say some polite words outside before he hurried to the Xianfei's Xianju Palace.
After a while, Wanru from Xianju Palace ran out and said that their master had also started the movement.
"It's chaos, everything is a mess!" Ruan Shang Gong heard the noise outside and ran out to ask, only to find out that the two pregnant concubines in the palace had given birth at the same time, one after the other.
An inexplicable emotion enveloped her, a sense of tension surged from her brain to her limbs, her heart was beating like a drum, and she had a premonition that something big might happen today.
All the chief doctors in the Shang Pharmacy were sent out, and the whole palace was like a boiling oil pan, which could splash out oil at any time and burn some mastermind who tried to make a move.
Jin Ling's life is just one day and one night.
Coincidentally, things were not going well for Concubine Xian either. So far, neither side has achieved anything.
After sitting on the armchair for a whole day, Ma Yuanyu's body could no longer bear it. He took the food specially prepared for the two palaces by the kitchen and drank the chicken porridge in the bowl in one gulp.
"How's it going?" Ma Yuanyi and Lin Fuquan exchanged a glance. Others thought he was simply concerned about Concubine Xian's condition, but Lin Fuquan stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "Not yet. The midwife said the baby's position was a little off, and it's only now coming around. I'm afraid it'll take another hour."
"Tsk, it's useless." Ma Yuanying yawned again, his mood getting worse: "Are you all ready?"
"Don't worry, General. We've prepared everything." Lin Fuquan gave a knowing smile. "Everything is ready now. The only thing missing is that..."
"Good! This general has been waiting for this day for too long!" Ma Yuanyi couldn't help laughing out loud, as if he had already determined that the virtuous concubine would give birth to a prince.
"Report—General, something bad has happened!"
Suddenly, a eunuch hurried over with a panicked look on his face. He crawled to Ma Yuanying and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has returned with the King of Qi's troops!"
"What!" Ma Yuanyi suddenly threw the armchair behind him to the ground: "The emperor is not..."
"Also, there's more..."
"What else? Hurry up and tell me, you little dog slave!" Lin Fuquan didn't care whether Ma Yuanying would be angry because of his presumptuous behavior. If he didn't ask clearly, he was afraid that he would die with Ma Yuanying without a burial place!
"Local generals like Ban Yihu, Luo Jiayao, and Zhu Guangqi have come to the king's defense. Deputy General Zeng of the Shen Ce Army has rebelled, and together with Major General Gao and Captain Yao, he has surrounded the 100,000-strong Shen Ce Army!"
