Chapter 137 Targeted by a Poisonous Snake

If he had seen Li Guipin so pitiful in the past, he would have gone up to comfort her and bullied back those who bullied her.

Today, she was dressed so weakly, and he was not a fool, so he naturally knew that Li Guipin wanted to make peace with him.

If he followed Li Guipin today, he would definitely stay at Li Guipin's residence at night.

He knew that this favor also meant that Li Guipin would return to the public's sight and have a name in the harem again.

But as long as Emperor Xuanwu thought of how Zhenpin was slapped by her and broke her knees, and then was sent to the cold palace because of her, his disgust for Li Guipin had surpassed his previous love.

In the past, Concubine Zhen treated him wholeheartedly, but he didn't notice it and just thought that she should treat him that way.

Now that Concubine Zhen is angry and ignores him, he feels empty and uncomfortable in his heart.

He has no interest in the beauties in the harem and the affairs of state.

He hasn't seen Concubine Zhen for almost two months.

He doesn't know how big her belly is now? Is Xiaoliu well-behaved? Did he kick his mother? Would he be unhappy if he didn't tell stories to Xiaoliu?

Last time, Concubine Zhen said that when the baby moves more heavily when the month is older, she will be very scared.

What about now?

It's almost the end of the year, the baby is more than six months old, and will soon be seven months old. Doctor Yan said that judging from Concubine Zhen's pulse, she is most likely pregnant with a little prince.

Does it hurt when his Xiaoliu kicks people?

Didn't Concubine Zhen cry alone in the quilt in the middle of the night?

She was so timid that she must have cried.

Emperor Xuanwu gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, looked up at the roof, leaned his neck on the back of the chair, and sat in a posture he had never done before. It was a long time before he opened his eyes.

Those eyes as deep as whirlpools looked firmly at the door, and even his fists were clenched as if he

had made up his mind. The heavy snow has not stopped, and the dark weather makes people feel inexplicably depressed.

Concubine Li Gui, who once scolded Wang Dequan for being a slave and a dog, and who acted arbitrarily and doted on in the harem, now has to smile like a flower in front of Wang Dequan. "Thank you

, Eunuch Wang."

Li Guipin said to Xia He, "Please invite Eunuch Wang in and have a seat. I'll make a cup of Biluochun, the new tea that the emperor has purchased this year, and please have a taste."

"Thank you for your kindness, Madam Li Guipin. I appreciate it."

Wang Dequan waved his hand with a smile and said, "I won't drink the tea. I'm going to talk to Empress Jiang Zhaoyi. There's no one to serve the emperor, and I have to hurry back to Chengqian Palace!"

After saying that, he bowed and withdrew.

Xia He shook her handkerchief and rolled her eyes: "He's a stinky pickled dog who relies on the power of others. Your Majesty invited him for tea because you think highly of him, but he is putting on airs. He is really a tiger in plain sight and is bullied by a dog. One day, he will fall into our hands."

As she said that, she was about to pull off Wang Dequan's cloak and throw it away. She pulled it twice but it didn't move. She looked up at Li Guipin in surprise: "Your Majesty?"

The veins on Li Guipin's fingers that were holding the cloak were exposed, and it was obvious how hard she was trying.

Her eyes were red, and she tried hard not to let her tears fall. Anger and hatred filled her chest: "Xia He, things are different now. I am no longer the powerful Concubine Li. One word difference is like a world of difference. My grandfather is gone, and my father is relying on me to survive. I can't be as willful as before, and I must learn to bow to reality."

What happened to the pickled dog's clothes?

She would take them off the day she put them on.

When Wang Dequan came out of Jiang Zhaoyi's main hall, he could still see Concubine Li standing at the door and watching him go.

He was neither proud nor arrogant, but felt a chill all over his body, as if he was stared at by a poisonous snake, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

It can be seen that Concubine Li is really different from the previous Concubine Li.

The scary thing in the palace is not the arrogant and domineering people who are bad in public, but the smiling tigers who are really cruel and kill people without blinking an eye.

Jiang Xinyue also heard what happened at the gate of her palace. Xi Que and Shuang Jiang were telling it vividly!

"Li Guipin has lost so much face this time. Tomorrow when she goes to pay respects to the Empress, she doesn't know how people will laugh at her."

"There must be something hateful about pitiful people. She schemed against our Empress, and now it's her turn, and she's playing pitiful too."

"But then again, the Emperor has favored Li Guipin for more than ten years. How can he just stop loving her? The women in the harem, especially those who have fallen from a high place like Li Guipin, how can they live without the Emperor's favor?"

Xi Que was not feeling sorry for Li Guipin. She deserved the retribution for harming her master like that.

She was just expressing her feelings because of Li Guipin's experience.

The former Concubine Li is now Concubine Li, so who is the future Concubine Li?

"Hurry up and stop talking."

Shuangjiang looked at Jiang Xinyue's dazed expression, and dragged Xi Que out of the door: "Are you stupid? Our queen is in a sensitive period of pregnancy, and you said that to her, wouldn't it make her think too much? Doctor Yan said that in the late pregnancy, it is most taboo to worry too much, it is easy to have a premature birth."

Xi Que slapped her mouth: "I didn't mean it, I just think that the emperor... the emperor is too..."

too heartless.

Will he treat her queen like this one day?

"That's not your turn to speak."

Shuangjiang taught her with a serious expression: "There are other people's spies in Hexi Palace. If your words get to the ears of the emperor, you will lose your head, and it might even implicate the empress. You should be careful about your mouth in the future and don't say anything."

Not only are there spies planted by the empress in other palaces, there is also Nanny Li, who is the emperor's person.

"Mother..."

Nanny Xiang was just about to comfort the sad Concubine Zhen, but she saw a light suddenly appear in her lifeless eyes: "Xi Que, Shuangjiang, go to the kitchen and tell Chief Steward Gao that I have to prepare my own lunch today... Hey?"

She looked around, her beautiful big eyes full of confusion: "Nanny Xiang, where are Xi Que and the others? It's strange, they were here just now. I was just thinking about a dish, how come they disappeared?"

Nanny Xiang: My mother tongue is speechless.

It seems that Xi Que and Shuang Jiang have been talking for a long time, and I thought they made her sad, but she didn't hear a word. In her pretty head, she was thinking about how to make delicious food all day long.

Just now, her eyes were dull and she had a sad expression, because she was thinking about the dishes.

She was sad because the kitchen utensils in the Great Yan Dynasty were limited, and the hot pot she made might not be as delicious as in later generations.

But in the beginning of autumn, Jiang Xinyue had asked Manager Gao to make two copper pots, just thinking about having hot pot in winter.

Something is better than nothing!
