Retreat, Retreat, Retreat!
Chapter 73: Impeach
The news that Princess Changning was pregnant spread like wildfire in the palace.
This is a great wonder: the eldest princess became pregnant after marrying an eunuch!
In the Hall of Nourishing the Heart, Xiao Huan rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and said to Shenxuan, who stood upright in front of him, "Didn't Sister follow you into the palace?"
Shen Xuan glanced over the mountain of memorials on Xiao Huan's case, her expression unchanged, and calmly said: "She is pregnant with a sixth class, and it is quite inconvenient to enter the palace, so she rests in the East Factory."
"It turns out that Admiral Shen still remembers that Sister A is pregnant with Liujia? Looking at her in three or four months, she will be born. You took her back to the East Factory at this time, and let a few irrelevant court ladies see her. Stomach, there was such a big turmoil in plain sight."
Xiao Huan has been learning to keep a low profile and bide his time, but facing the impeachment memorials one after another by the ministers, and the rumors of the man's palace, "Red apricots go out of the wall", he couldn't restrain his anger at this time, and curled his eyebrows. As I said earlier, let Sister A stay in Xibi Palace with peace of mind until the child arrives safely, I will try to help you..."
"The minister has also said that, the minister disagrees."
Shen Xie snorted and said coldly: "The emperor wants Changning to hide in Xibi Palace and give birth to a child, and then try to hide the child from the officials, saying that this child is the adopted child picked up by Dongchang?"
"Then what are you going to do!" Xiao Huan raised his tone, "will you make your secret public?"
Shen Xuan raised her sharp eyebrows, "If you make it public, you will make it public. This is the child of the minister and Changning. You don't need to hide."
"You!" Shocked, Xiao Huan warned, "Admiral Shen needs to think clearly. Do you know once you admit that this child is your own flesh and blood, what is waiting for you?"
"Naturally know." Shen Xuan said, "I can't shrink from a spear or an arrow, so why not be afraid of verbal criticism."
Xiao Huan was speechless for a while.
Shen Xuan stood there coldly, with a compelling aura, and said: "What's more, the emperor still owes a promise to his ministers."
It turned out that he had anticipated today, and made a perfect plan for himself by clearing the case of the North Di spy!
Xiao Huan realized that he had entered Shenxuan's situation in a vague way. Not only was he impressed by Shenxuan's foresight, but also faintly unwilling to be manipulated. His chest was ups and downs, and he said angrily: "Why should I promise to help you? Can you get rid of the spies for me?"
He was an immature boy after all. Shen Xuan's eyes were indifferent to Xiao Huan's chest, and one corner of her lips was gently curled up, her thin lips slightly opened, and she slowly whispered to Xiao Huan.
The sentence was extremely low, but Xiao Huan could still hear clearly, the strong king's momentum collapsed instantly, and he stood up suddenly and said, "What are you talking about!"
Shen Xuan raised her chin slightly, and said calmly, "Well, is this deal worth it?"
Xiao Changning, who was raising a fetus in the East Factory, naturally heard the rumors outside, and was slightly surprised. When she came out of Xibi Palace that day, she did ran into a few palace servants on the road. She thought that according to Dongchang and Shen Xuan's temperament, even if she didn't need her to speak, she would try to seal the mouths of those palace servants on her own. Unexpectedly, not only did not hide the pregnancy, but it spread.
This is not like Shen Xuan's style...unless, he deliberately let everyone know.
When Shen Xuan came back from the palace, Xiao Changning couldn't hold it back anymore, stood up on her waist, and asked him: "I'm pregnant. Did you deliberately let out the wind?"
Shen Xuan was noncommittal, she only held her in her arms and smiled: "It is impossible to hide it for a lifetime."
Xiao Changning's figure is not as bloated as other pregnant women, but his belly is getting rounder and it is a little inconvenient to hug. She twisted her body uncomfortably, her face was clear and natural, and she whispered: "I know you must have a perfect plan to do this, but it's scary, and I still don't worry."
Shen Xuan pulled her down and kissed her lips gently, "I have personally explained to the courtier that the child in your belly is my own flesh and blood."
Xiao Changning said in astonishment: "You... have you confessed your identity as a fake eunuch? At this time?"
Shen Xuan only said: "Changning, I can't bear to be wronged by you, so how can we let our children not even get a serious reputation?"
Xiao Changning didn't expect him to be so courageous, and said nervously, "Huan'er didn't embarrass you? What did the courtier say?"
Shen Xuan did not reveal too many details, but only picked up something not important and said: "I was impeached by Yu Shitai for the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the ruin of the palace, and the argument ended all morning. I heard them clamoring for truth. I'm upset, so I will come back to see you first."
Even if Shen Xuan didn't elaborate, Xiao Changning could guess what was going on in the court.
The crime of deceiving the emperor... Since the establishment of the East Factory, are there still few important officials who have died under the crime of "deception of the emperor"?
"You... hey!" Seeing Shen Xuan's calm face, Xiao Changning knew that he would have some tricks, but couldn't help but worry, "Huan'er himself is enough to fear you, so you are not afraid of him this time. Do you push the boat along the water to suppress you?"
"Don't worry, he won't."
"Just so sure?"
Shen Xuan teased her deliberately, but said nothing.
Xiao Changning deceived his body to surround him, pushed his sturdy waist with his bulging belly, and threatened: "What the **** is going on, don't you tell me?"
Admiral Shen ‘is not afraid of prestige’, instead he hugged her waist close to himself, and muttered in her ear: “Changning, I haven’t touched you for a long time.”
The deep desire in his voice made Xiao Changning unable to hide, and the body that had not been happy for a long time was first half soft. Her cheeks were hot, she gave Shen Xuan a soft look, and whispered, "Beast! I'm still pregnant!"
"I'll be careful, I won't hurt you."
Xiao Changning still hesitated, and Shen Xuan said again, "If you don't make the whole set, can you give it to me?"
Xiao Changning wanted to say something, and opened her lips, but Shen Xuan's lips and tongue took advantage of it, and the words pouring into her mouth were agitated.
In the next few days, there was an uproar in the DPRK, and Shen Xuan had been summoned to the Jinluan Hall for interrogation for several days.
It is actually not appropriate to say that it is an ‘interrogation’. If Shen Xuan is unwilling to come forward, no one will be able to break through the gate of the Dongchang factory and forcibly take him away. Every morning, Shen Xuan bid farewell to Xiao Changning with ease, and then wore a majestic python gown to go to the hall to be "trial" indifferently, without the consciousness of a "criminal deceiver".
In this regard, the old stubbornness in the DPRK is daring not to speak up.
Today, the emperor has not yet entered the court, and there is already a quarrel above the court. Yu Shi Zhong Cheng, shaking his gray beard, pointed at Shen Xiu with righteous indignation, and said: "Admiral Shen has dealt with so many criminals by himself, so you know what the end of the crime of deceiving the emperor is! Even dare to wear the python robe given by the emperor to go to the court, it is too innocent. Wang Fa!"
Someone immediately seconded: "So arrogant, extremely arrogant!"
Shen Xuan did not move, raised her eyes and glanced at the officials, and sneered: "Above? When the superintendent cleaned up the rebellious officials and solved the external and internal troubles, you didn't comment like that. Not to mention that you are anxious before the emperor arrives. I can’t wait to convict this governor, and the more I act on my behalf, I don’t know who is the'arrogant'?"
For a while, all the officials he saw were full of fear. They couldn't help but back up half a step, a chill climbed up their backs, like prey locked in by wild beasts.
Shen Xuan seemed to be examining a group of ants, "It's just a group of little people who can only hide in the palace and jump their feet."
"You!" Yu Shi Zhong Cheng flushed with anger, and said angrily, "You are a sinner who can only turn black and white and mess up the palace!"
"Sinner? Who said the husband of this palace is a sinner?"
Outside the Jinluan Temple, an extravagant woman with Liujia held the hand of the maidservant into the palace slowly, and her eyes with a smile of seven points swept the officials, and finally fixed herself on the headed Yushi Zhongcheng, "Master Yushi , When you tried your best to marry this palace into the Dongchang marriage, you didn’t say that! Seeing that the storm is now calm, you hurriedly crossed the river and demolished the bridge. How can such a small person be worthy of the great Confucianism? title?"
The appearance of Xiao Changning undoubtedly pushed the contradiction to the highest peak.
After only a moment of surprise, Shen Xuan was the first to react, and walked over and held her hand without anyone else. The sharpness in her eyes instantly turned into tenderness, and she curled her eyebrows and said, "Why are you here?"
"You can't leave everything alone!" Xiao Changning whispered, and handed him a soothing smile.
The intimacy between the two fell in the eyes of the courtiers, and it was like boiling water dripping into a pan, causing an uproar.
Yu Shi Zhongcheng showed an unsightly look, and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness Changning Princess, forgive me, you should live in the harem with an identity like you. This court is not where you should be."
"This palace is the only relative of the emperor, and the eldest sister is like a mother, why can't this palace come here?" Xiao Changning put one hand on his waist, straightened his bulging belly, and shook Shen Xuan's hand with the other hand. Proudly said, "Unlike everyone who only talks about military affairs, although this palace is a female stream, she sacrificed her life in exchange for the stability of the court. Fortunately, the people we meet are beloved, so we won't be sad for a lifetime. "
Having said this, she glanced at Shen Xuan affectionately, smiled brightly and brilliantly, and then said: "The emperor can't accuse this palace, so how can you make irresponsible remarks?"
Yu Shi Zhong Cheng was angry.
While the swords were at war, I heard the little yellow door screaming outside the hall: "The emperor is here--"
The courtier who had just returned to the sword immediately retreated to the side with the ivory wat, bowed and bowed: "Long live the emperor!"
Xiao Changning and Shen Xuan also looked at each other, stood at the forefront of the courtiers, and saluted Xiao Huan.
Xiao Huan was wearing a dragon robe and a crown. Although his face was green, his brows already had the majesty that an emperor should have. His gaze swept across Xiao Changning's body, then quickly moved away, looking straight ahead.
After seated, Xiao Huan raised his arms and gave a false support: "All Aiqing is flat, Admiral Shen does not have to kneel down, and Princess Changning is pregnant with Liujia, and there is no need to salute."
A short sentence has already given Shen Xuan and Xiao Changning a lot of face.
Unexpectedly, the emperor would be biased towards Shenxuan, and the courtiers exchanged glances, which was a little unbelievable.
Yu Shi Zhongcheng stepped forward and said: "The emperor, Admiral Shen entered the palace as an **** and took charge of the East Factory. For several years, the power was overwhelming and he refused to release his power. The evil star collided with the crape myrtle, and his wolf ambition is already revealed! Sin, should be punished with capital punishment!"
"The minister seconded."
"The minister also seconded!"
Seeing the seconder kneel down a lot, if Xiao Changning is not nervous, it must be false.
She glanced at Shen Xuan calmly, and saw that his eyes were heavy, without the slightest fear. Feeling her worried gaze, Shen Xuan raised her mouth instead, signalling her peace of mind.
Xiao Changning didn't understand why he was always so confident, but she soon understood.
Xiao Huan’s back was straight on the dragon chair, and he listened to the veteran official below cried out that the impeachment was over. Then he sighed slightly: "Everyone, please get up and talk."
"The emperor doesn't deal with treacherous eunuchs, and ministers and other officials cannot kneel down!"
The courtiers were stubborn, but they just cried and made trouble three times and touched the wall. Xiao Huan had a headache and barely maintained his majesty on his face. He glanced at Shen Xuan and said: "Aiqing knows something, and Admiral Shen is not guilty."
As soon as this remark came out, Xiao Changning was stunned, and the courtiers were also stunned.
The hall fell into a deadly silence, and it took a long time before a loud noise broke out.
"How is it possible to be innocent! A fake **** who held the emperor in order to make the princes was not guilty!"
"Absurd! It's absurd!"
"Your Majesty, what's wrong!"
Xiao Huan rubbed his eyebrows, raised his hand to signal the group of angry courtiers to be quiet, and then said: "At first, Emperor Xian was seriously ill and Liang clan was involved in politics. Xian Emperor feared that I would die by the hands of Liang clan. Only then did he find a confidant master to pretend to be an eunuch. Entering the East Factory is actually to secretly protect my safety and help me consolidate the imperial power of the country."
After a pause, Xiao Huan raised his finger in Shen Xuan's direction, and said with a serious face: "This confidant who was ordered by the first emperor to sneak into the East Factory to protect me is the current Admiral Shen!"
Things took a turn for the better. I never expected such a result. I was crying bitterly and clamoring to get rid of the treacherous officials. For a while, he was dumbfounded: "This..."
Xiao Huan said painfully: "The truth is like this! You have no joking, and Admiral Shen has no merit or demerit. Now he has become my brother-in-law, and I believe he is even more loyal to me."
At this point, Xiao Huan stared at Shen Xuan with scorching eyes, and said word by word: "Is that right, Admiral Shen?"
Shen Xuan twisted her eyebrows, quickly loosened her eyebrows, and chuckled softly, "That's how it is."
Xiao Changning couldn't help but enjoy watching a wonderful scene. She didn’t know what deal Shen Xuan and Xiao Huan had made secretly that caused Xiao Huan to turn back. She fabricated such an excuse to excuse Shen Xuan, blocking the world’s leisurely mouth... The only thing she knew was that Xiao Huan’s. The little fox was taking advantage of the problem and took the opportunity to put a hat on Shen Xuan as a loyal minister who endures humiliation, completely severing Shen Xuan's idea of usurping the throne.
But it didn't matter, what she and Shen Xuan asked for was the old age, not the loneliness in the Jinluan Temple.
I don’t know how long it took, the courtier who had been hit hard came back to his senses, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and asked in a low voice: "Since Admiral Shen is a minister of Tuogu who was ordered by Emperor Xian to clear the emperor, he will continue to stay in Dongchang. The'eunuch' is no longer appropriate, so please give your majesty another reward."
The implication is to cut off the power of Shen Xuan Dongchang.
The heart that Xiao Changning had just put down was suspended in mid-air again.
Of course, Xiao Huan couldn't ask for it, so he pushed the boat forward: "Admiral Shen Jingwei, who is the crown of the world, really should not be tied to the East Factory. According to my opinion, it is suitable to be a general."
Shen Xuan's eyebrows pressed, and she smiled back: "Thanks to the emperor's love, the minister is not talented, there is no great ambition, just a corner of the An Dong factory is enough."
This is a tactful rejection.
The monarch and the minister hid the needle in Mianli, Xiao Changning smiled and said roundly: "The emperor, this palace is reluctant to let her husband go to the battlefield. Rather than being a majestic general, this palace hopes that he will stay in the East Factory to accompany our mother and son."
Xiao Changning spoke, Xiao Huan couldn't help selling her face, pondering for a moment and said: "It's okay. It's just that the affairs of the East Factory are tedious, not as good as the combination of factory and health. Major affairs are completed by Commander Wen and Admiral Shen. How about sharing one or two duties for Admiral Shen?"
Saying that it is the unity of the factory and the guard, it is about trying to use Jinyiwei to weaken the power of the East Factory, check and balance each other, and fight against each other.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xuan did not refuse, and said solemnly: "It's all up to the emperor to call the shots."
A vigorous impeachment controversy ended on this morning when the cicadas were noisy. Not only was Shen Xuan not punished, she also received a commendation from a lone loyal minister.
On the carriage back to the East Factory, Xiao Changning still felt like he was dreaming.
"The factory and the guard are unified, and the power is reduced. I thought you would refuse." Xiao Changning leaned in Shen Xuan's arms while the carriage was swaying. Row."
Shen Xuan smiled, her chest trembling slightly, her voice a little dull: "For the emperor, the unity of factory and guard is a reduction in power, but for me it is not necessarily."
Xiao Changning got interested and stood up and said, "What do you say?"
Shen Xuan raised her eyebrows and said: "You make good friends with Yue Yao, Yue Yao and Wen Lingyin, and sooner or later, the factory guard will be the same family. Why is there a fight between the two tigers?"
Xiao Changning didn't expect that he even thought of this. How could Xiao Huan's little fox beat the old fox? Can't help but chuckle and said, "How did you know that Yueyao and Wen Lingyin would have a good relationship? The two of them were in an awkward situation a few days ago."
Shen Xuan glanced at her faintly, and then asked: "You used to be awkward with me back then, aren't you in a good relationship now?"
Xiao Changning denied: "How can I do it!"
Shen Xuan reminded her: "For food, have you forgotten?"
Xiao Changning choked, silently turned his head and said nothing.
After a while, she couldn't help but curiously asked: "What on earth did you make with Huan'er, he was willing to come up with such a reason to help you?" Even the first emperor who passed away was carried out!
Seeing Xiao Changning's suspicious look, Shen Xu chuckled lightly and raised her eyebrows: "Because I have what the emperor wants most."
Xiao Changning wondered: "What is it?"
Shen Xuan whispered in her ear: "Guess."
Xiao Changning twisted her eyebrows for a while, and carefully searched in her heart for what could contain Xiao Huan...soon, she had the answer, and said in surprise, "Where is the queen?"
If it is said that Xiao Huan can cause chaos, only Liang Yourong is the only one.
"Smart." Shen Xuan kissed her lips like a reward, and kissed her until her cheeks were flushed, and she couldn't breathe.
Early summer passed away in a blink of an eye with the sound of cicadas and the blooming crape myrtle flowers, and the golden autumn of October came quietly in the fragrance of Guizi.
When Xiao Changning was nearing giving birth, Yue Yao came to see her.
Yue Yao looked very energetic, and smiled before entering the door: "His Royal Highness, the minister is coming to see his nephew!"
Inside the room, Xiao Changning hurriedly pushed Shen Xu away, with water glowing on his lips, and urged: "Yueyao is here, you can avoid it for the time being."
Shen Xuan's eyes were cold, obviously unhappy.
Xiao Changning had to kiss his tight lips again, and softly said, "Okay, just talk to her for a while, okay?"
Yue Yao had already entered the door, and seeing that Shen Xuan was also there, she smiled and said, "Oh, Admiral Shen has a bright face."
Admiral Shen raised his eyes coldly with the ‘spring radiant face’, his eyes were like a knife, and he didn’t notice the thick branches of Yue Yao.
"Okay, okay, it's not as proud of your spring breeze!" Xiao Changning stood up with a big belly and coaxed Shen Xuan out of the house. Then he took Yue Yao's hand and said, "Look at how you look like Wen Lingyin. Have you settled your suspicions?"
Yue Yao made two ‘hehe’ and took a sip while holding a cup of herbal tea.
Xiao Changning knew that most of the matter was done, and whispered in a low voice: "How far have you progressed?"
Yue Yao also leaned in mysteriously, and said something like this in her ear, Xiao Changning said in amazement: "Yes, congratulations!"
"Try it first." Yue Yao said, "Anyway, I have no experience, and he has no experience. I'm just tossing about it."
"Anyway, this palace is very happy for you." Xiao Changning snorted as he said, clutching his stomach and said, "Hey, kicked me again."
Yue Yao's gaze fell on her bulging abdomen, and she smiled and said, "So active?"
"He's moving." Xiao Changning pointed to his stomach, "Do you want to touch it?"
"Can you?" Yue Yao put her palm on Xiao Changning's abdomen, and she could feel the fetal movement under her belly, and said in amazement, "Really! He is moving, I can feel it!"
Xiao Changning was amused by her, "You and Wen Lingyin also work hard, get married and have a child as soon as possible, and make a baby kiss with a child in this palace!"
Yue Yao was about to accept, but seeing Xiao Changning frowned, he suddenly bent over and snorted.
"Why, kicked you again?" Yue Yao asked with a smile.
Soon, she stopped smiling, because Xiao Changning's expression was really wrong.
"Sister Yue, call Shen Xuan!" Xiao Changning gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "My palace... My palace is about to give birth!"
