Chapter 204 Night Palace Goodbye Concubine Hu Gui

In late spring, it gets a little stuffy and the atmosphere becomes a little depressing.

Concubine Hu Gui was leaning halfway on the soft couch, the wide sleeve of her left arm was naturally hanging down in front of her body, covering her already extremely swollen abdomen.

It stands to reason that there is no concubine in the current palace who can threaten her status and the safety of her unborn child, and there are imperial physicians and female fairy masters from the Zhongzhou School to take care of her daily. Her body should be well maintained, but for some reason, her face is pale and haggard. She looks not very healthy, but even her temper is much more irritable than in previous years.

The voice of communication sounded outside the hall.

Concubine Hu Gui was a little surprised, she stood up with the edge of the couch, and took two steps forward, the movement was a bit inconvenient, but she did it deliberately, and wanted people to see it.

She knows Duke Lu's status before His Majesty better than anyone else.

Lu Guogong looked at this scene and said quickly: "My lady, please sit down, please sit down."

Concubine Hu Gui sat down with a smile, and asked with a gentle expression, "Duke is busy today? But Your Majesty wants to see me?"

When she asked this sentence, she felt a little nervous, a little hopeful, and a little uneasy.

His Majesty has not visited her in the palace for many days.

"Ma'am, there are two guests who want to see you."

After saying this, Duke Lu left the palace without any hesitation.

Zhao Layue and Gu Qing came out from behind the pillars.

No idea how they got here.

Concubine Hu Gui didn't call for an assassin, nor did she call for anyone, she just looked at Zhao Layue quietly.

They met in the old plum garden three years ago, and they had old grudges with each other.

Zhao Layue said: "You are still so calm in this situation, you are much better than you were three years ago."

Concubine Hu Gui glanced at her sideways, and said, "Even if you are the peak master of Qingshan Mountain, if you enter the palace privately in the middle of the night, you will not be able to escape responsibility after being found out."

Zhao Layue said expressionlessly, "I thought you should be more worried about yourself now."

Hearing this, Concubine Hu Gui's eyes slowly narrowed.

She is pregnant now, a little haggard, the breath between her brows and eyes is still innocent and happy, and when she squints, she has an indescribable sense of charm.

Gu Qing turned around and stopped looking at her.

Zhao Layue glanced at her abdomen and said, "Three years?"

Concubine Hu Gui was furious when she heard the words, she gritted her teeth and said, "What's none of your business?"

Zhao Layue said with a blank expression: "This matter cannot be hidden from anyone. There are already many discussions among the people, not to mention the princes in the court. If they know that you are a vixen, will they let you give birth to this child?"

Concubine Hu Gui spit at the front: "Bah! Now who doesn't know about this matter, why should I be afraid!"

Zhao Layue said: "Guessing and knowing are two different things. Your Majesty loves you, so as long as there is no proof, the princes in the court will dare not say anything."

The meaning of this sentence is very clear.

No one dared to testify that Concubine Hu Gui is a fox demon, because the emperor likes her, and there is no evidence.

Who would dare to lift the skirt of the imperial concubine to see if there is a tail behind her?

But now the unborn child in her womb, who has been pregnant for three years, seems to be the best evidence at any time.

Zhao Layue said: "Even if you have a good relationship with the Zhongzhou faction and have connections with the Guocheng Temple, what impact will this matter have at a critical moment?"

It is also very clear what the critical moment refers to.

Concubine Hu Gui's face became a little pale, and she said: "Then what should I do? I don't want to do this either, but... just can't give birth..."

"It may be a demon fetus that is difficult to deliver, or it may be a natural fetus that needs to be conceived for ten years."

Zhao Layue said: "Your Majesty doesn't care about this, he only cares about discussions."

How can we influence the discussion? Or who has the qualifications and ability to change the identity of the fetus in her womb.

Concubine Hu Gui's eyes lit up, and she looked up at Zhao Layue.

Zhao Layue said: "The affairs of the royal family have always been taken care of by the Zhongzhou Sect and Guocheng Temple, and our Qingshan Sect will not interfere."

Concubine Hu Gui was disappointed and said: "Then why are you telling me these things?"

Zhao Layue said: "Zhanzi said you are good, you are good."

Of course Concubine Hu Gui knew that this was the best way.

In this regard, whether it is the head of Qingshan or the head of Zhongzhou, they are not as popular as Zenzi among the people.

As long as Zen Zi opened his golden mouth, let alone a spiritual womb, even if she was pregnant with a Buddha womb, who would dare not believe it?

"But... Zenzi said that the karma with me is over, don't talk about speaking for me, but he won't even see me."

At this time, Concubine Hu Gui seemed extremely weak.

Thinking of a certain woman, Zhao Layue raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Your relationship with Chanzi is over, but he still owes Shen Mofeng a favor."

Because of what happened in Mei Hui Dao War three years ago, it may also be because of some older stories.

Concubine Hu Gui understood, she was silent for a moment, and said, "What do you want?"

She knew that the Qingshan sect had given her such great benefits, and what she wanted was bound to be huge.

It's just that she couldn't imagine what Zhao Layue wanted from her.

She is the peak master of Shenmo of the Qingshan Sect, what kind of status is this, it can be said that she can take whatever she wants.

Could it be that, as the rumors say, does she need some grass?

Zhao Layue said: "That year in the Old Plum Garden, when Jing Xin and Luo Huainan met, they pretended to be strangers, so you wouldn't believe it."

Concubine Hu Gui narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Zhao Layue said: "It doesn't make sense for you to be friendly with the Zhongzhou faction. As long as Luo Huainan is around, the Zhongzhou faction will definitely support Jing Xin."

Concubine Hu Gui said with a cold expression: "I just want to give birth to this child well, but I dare not fight for anything."

The silent Gu Qing suddenly spoke.

He didn't turn around, looking at the night outside the hall.

"I'm a bastard, I know what kind of life it is, and I believe you don't want your children to live like that."

Concubine Hu Gui was silent for a while, and then said: "But you are talented in cultivation, so your status in the clan is getting higher and higher, and I believe my child is not bad."

Gu Qing said: "Are you sure that this child has the opportunity to show his talent? Your Majesty wants you to be born, but he wants you to fight. If you don't fight, then why do you have to give birth?"

Concubine Hu Gui fell silent.

It was quiet.

This is a cold, but undeniable fact.

The truth is really simple.

Because of this, Concubine Hu Gui originally thought that His Majesty would definitely favor the fetus in her womb.

But she didn't expect that His Majesty's will seemed to have changed in the past two years, which made her even more uneasy.

In fact, neither she nor Zhao Layue and Gu Qing had misunderstood the intention of the Emperor. In the original arrangement of the Divine Emperor, as long as Concubine Hu Gui could give birth to a child, and after a few years to confirm that there was no problem, he would directly abolish Jing Xin's position as prince, and expel him to Guocheng Temple to become a monk without giving him any chance to fight.

It was Jing Jiu's intention not to let Jing Xin succeed to the throne.

It's just that now Jing Jiu is gone.

The Emperor of God didn't believe that Jing Jiu would die, but there was no news for two years, everyone should consider that possibility.

Without the firm and unreserved support of the Qingshan Sect, the Emperor would have to pay attention to the opinions of the Zhongzhou Sect.

In a very short time, Concubine Hu Gui made a decision and asked, "What exactly do you want me to do?"

Gu Qing turned around and said, "I want to know the whereabouts of Luo Huainan."

(Two updates will start tomorrow, let’s see how long I can last. If I can’t stand it, I will report to you in advance. I originally thought that the first chapter would be set at 2:00 pm as before, but suddenly I feel that when everyone eats lunch, they can watch a chapter as a dish, so it’s 12:00 ahead of time. If you have different opinions, please let me know.)
