When Spring Comes

"Selfish?" Xu Guibi opened her eyes wide and looked at her in amazement: "The Concubine De Concubine actually abused the Queen Mother in person?"

Huachun paused, frowning and said: "The court concubine didn't mean to insult the queen mother, just telling the truth. If the queen dowager convicted the court concubine based on her personal preferences, she would have trouble with the court concubine regardless of the emperor's feelings, that would be selfish."

"Wow." The queen mother nodded, patted the bedstring and said: "The emperor is so spoiled, I dare to talk to Ai's family like this!"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and the palace people standing next to them all looked straight at Huachun. Yuejian frowned and said in a low voice, "Queen dowager, don't get too angry, you are still raising your body."

"She made it clear that she was here to be angry with Aijia!" The Queen Mother glared: "Because of having a stomach, I thought Aijia wouldn't punish her! After all, the position of Aijia in this palace is higher than her! It depends on her today. Saying this, Ai Jia has reason to let her go outside and kneel for an hour!"

"Queen dowager!" Yuejian was taken aback: "Is Concubine De concubine still has a body, where can she kneel for so long?"

Huachun frowned and said inwardly that she was wearing armor on her stomach today, but she didn't wear a knee pad. Is it too late for Qing Niao to get it?

"The concubine is not going to say anything bad about Concubine De." Xu Guibi sat on the bedside of the queen mother and said in a low voice: "But there are no rules and there are no rules. Empress De Concubine is indeed doing something wrong today, she can't kneel for an hour. , Just kneel for half an hour, give a lesson, it also reflects your tolerance of the queen mother."

Taking a look at Xu Guibing, the queen mother knew that this person could not get along with Concubine De, but now her proposal fits her intentions, so it's better to just follow the boat.

"Xu Guibi made sense." She said: "De Fei has been too much. If she doesn't get punished, she can't justify it. Just go out and kneel for half an hour!"

Yuejian frowned and wanted to plead for Concubine De, but seeing the pale face of the Queen Mother, she couldn't speak, so she could only go out with Huachun and secretly handed her a cushion.

"Thank you." Huachun nodded at her, then knelt down.

Qing Niao looked worried: "Can you kneel for so long?"

"This is easy to handle." Huachun looked serious, but said in a playful tone: "I will pretend to be dizzy as soon as I feel tired! It's not a stupid sister, who really kneels for an hour?"

Qing Qi nodded, and it was time for the emperor to go down in half an hour. Although his master had something wrong today, the queen mother didn't take much reason. The emperor should still protect his master.

When he was kneeling down, Xu Guibi came out with a very innocent expression on his face. He squatted in front of Huachun and said, "The Concubine De concubine, don’t remember to hate the concubine, the concubine just knows that the queen mother is not well, and she is so angry. , So I followed the words of the Queen Mother."

Huachun glanced at her and replied with two words: "Haha."

Naturally, Xu Guibi couldn't understand the essence of modern vocabulary, and when Huachun was calming the atmosphere, he continued with a smile: "It's good if the empress doesn't blame the concubine, and the concubine will help the empress continue to take care of the queen mother."

"You take good care of it." Huachun said: "Needless to say, it's helping me."

This one just deducted her hat. Then if something went wrong with the queen mother, should the charges be piled on her?

Xu Guibi was taken aback, gave her a surprised look, turned and walked into the main hall: "The empress dowager, the concubine De consort seems to be a different person, she is not as low-key and sensible as before."

"What?" The queen mother half-opened her eyes, her face full of illness.

"The former concubine De concubine often came to please you and helped the emperor deliver things. Even the concubine thought she was very filial. Who would have thought that the concubine De concubine now disrespects you so much? Will help her take care of you, guess what she said?"

"She said taking care of you has nothing to do with her!"

The queen mother shook her brows tighter, looked at the palace man next to her and asked: "She really said that?"

The palace man thought for a while, as if he did say so, so he nodded.

Her eyes darkened, and the queen mother stared at a certain place for a long time, then closed her eyes: "What a scourge."

It's true that she likes emperor heirs, and she is also willing to help the prince's concubine to the throne, but only if she is a good concubine. A concubine like De Fei who didn't put her in his eyes at all, and was hostile to her, it was useless even if she was pregnant with an emperor heir. There was no benefit to her, but it was still a hidden danger.

"See you on the moon." The queen mother said, whispering: "Go out of the palace to find some old people, and wait for the emperor to come down, let him deal with political affairs in the Zichen Hall for a while."

"...Yes." Yue Jian nodded.

Xu Guibi's eyes were shining, and there was a secret joy in his heart when he squeezed his hands.

The queen mother's cruelty was well-known in the harem back then, that is, after the emperor ascended the throne, she reduced all the viciousness and showed a kindly look. But there are many rumors in the palace about how she came to the back position. It is said that the most favored concubine Zhuang died in the hands of the Queen Mother, and it was said that the first emperor was also sent on the road by the Queen Mother.

No matter whether it is true or not, no one dares to look down upon Ning's methods to secure the position of the queen and the queen mother. Previously, I had to worry about the emperor's heir, and had never done anything to the Hua clan, but now I am finally torn apart.

Then she waited for a good show.

Without kneeling for more than ten minutes, Huachun felt a sore waist and back pain. He glanced at the green curl and made a gesture.

Qing Niao understood, yelled cooperatively, stretched out his hand to support her, and Huachun lay down in her arms following her strength.

"What's the matter?" A palace man next to him came to take a look, and Qing Yu said anxiously: "The empress has passed out!"

The palace man was taken aback, and hurriedly entered the main hall to report, and after a while he came out and said: "Help the empress to the side hall."

Qing Niao nodded, picked up Huachun, and walked towards the side hall with his arms on his shoulders.

Lying on a comfortable bed, Huachun secretly gave Qing Niao an "OK" sign, Qing Niao smiled secretly, reached out and rubbed her knees, and then heard the palace humanity outside: "You come with me and get the medicine. ."

Rui Er and Qing Niao both responded and followed out. Hua Chun lightly breathed a sigh of relief, moved her waist, and then lay down with her eyes closed to rest. She can faint to the emperor's dynasty, and then she should be safe.

I was proud of my wit, but I didn't help but heard footsteps coming from the door.

It should be a palace man in the Queen Mother Palace, to see her situation.

Huachun didn't open her eyes, trying to let her breathe smoothly.

The sound of footsteps reached her bedside, there was a pause, and then she felt a chill on her face.

Something is wrong!

He opened his eyes suddenly, and Huachun rolled to the side subconsciously, but the movement was not as fast as anyone came. The man slashed her abdomen with a long sword.

"Come here!" Hua Chun screamed, her face pale as she watched the sword cut down.

There was no one else in the room, and it was too late for the guards outside to hear the shouts running over. The man in black was able to see it, although it felt a little strange, but the sword was cut into Concubine De's stomach, then the work was completed, and immediately ran away.

"Niang Niang!" Yue Jian Aunt ran in from outside, while sending people to chase the assassin, while running towards Huachun, she supported her on her body and leaned against her, looking at the long sword on her belly, and took a breath.

Why did you start so ruthlessly? The sword is cut into the stomach!

"Pass the imperial doctor, quickly pass the imperial doctor!"

Huachun didn't dare to breathe, staring blankly at her stomach, there was a sudden noise outside, Rui Er and Qing Niao also rushed back, all stupidly aside.

"Where is the person?" Huachun asked calmly when he recovered.

Qing Niao shook his head and looked at the **** next to him blankly. The **** replied blankly: "I didn't hold it..."

Can you meet an assassin even in Huiming Hall, or can you not catch it? Hua Chun pursed her lips, took a look at the moon, stretched out her hand and threw the sword on her stomach to the ground, then sat up straight.

"Manny!" Yue Jian was scared to death: "Your belly!"

"It's okay." Huachun shook his head: "Fortunately, I brought out a little bit of attention today."

Yue Jian didn't understand, or she was frightened, she couldn't completely reflect what she was saying.

Xu Guibi heard the movement coming, his face was anxious, but his eyes were gloating, so he rushed over and asked, "Is your mother okay?"

"It's okay." Huachun replied lightly.

Xu Guibi was stunned, how could this be all right? Didn’t it mean that the sword was cut into the stomach?

"The imperial doctor is here!" shouted from the outside, Yue Jian regained his senses, and quickly asked the imperial doctor to come to the bed to show the wounds to the concubine De concubine, but saw Concubine De concubine raise her hand and said: "It's not hurt, you are not worried My palace, it's better to be more realistic about holding people."

The people in the whole room were all stupid, so they saw Huachun unwinding the outer robe of the palace costume while talking, and took out an oversized dustpan from his stomach.

Everyone: "..."

The dustpan was cut with a cut. Fortunately, the quality was excellent, and there was a layer of cotton cloth inside, which perfectly protected Huachun's belly.

Xu Guibi was stupid, he looked at the dustpan for a while before he came back to his senses, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

The Queen Mother was still waiting for news in the main hall, with a look of vicissitudes of life on her face, hearing the footsteps, she asked: "Nothing?"

Yuejian walked in and shook his head with complicated expression: "Still."

Still there? ! The queen mother was not calm for a moment, she sat up and frowned and looked at her: "What does it mean to be still? Can her stomach be kept from such a serious injury? Which royal doctor has such good medical skills?"

Yuejian pursed his lips and whispered: "It didn't hurt."

How could it not hurt! The queen mother frowned and looked at Yuejian earnestly for a long time, then the latter reluctantly took out a dustpan: "The Concubine De concubine did not hurt her when she was wearing this."

Staring at that thing for a long while, the queen mother took a breath and lowered her head and muttered: "The Aijia said that her city was deep, and the emperor didn't believe it yet, so she would use this kind of thing on her stomach..."

Yue Jian was silent, it seemed to have nothing to do with the depth of the city, but it was just vigilant.

It's also because of her weight, otherwise it will be hard to escape today.

"The empress dowager, what should I do next? De Fei meant to catch the assassin with all his strength."
