"Sister Gui stopped me.¤    ?    ?" Ji Xiaotang replied to Zheng Gui with a smile, "I have been taking care of Xuan'er at home these days and rarely go out, but I have never been to the palace once. I really don't know how Concubine Ji is."

Ji Xiaotang's words can be regarded as the truth.

However, Xinhuatang is Ji Xiaolian's parents' home. If you don't know Ji Xiaolian's current situation at all, it will be unconvincing.

"And my parents are also busy these days, and they mainly take care of my sister... Sister Gui also knows that the imperial concubine is the best in the palace, regardless of food, clothing, and care. But my sister is different here, and it is not that she is biased at home."

Of course, Ji Xiaoyun cannot compare with Ji Xiaolian. How could Mrs. Shunyi Bo, who has no power and no power, be compared with Concubine Ji who is in the midst of the sky? Therefore, the people in Xinhuatang focus more on Ji Xiaoyun.

There is another well-known thing.

Ji Xiaolian lost her mother, and her stepmother was the one she entered the palace after she entered the palace and was not close to her. In fact, there was no female relative who was particularly caring to Ji Xiaolian. Moreover, since Ji Xiaolian entered the palace and even when she was pregnant, Xinhuatang's reaction was very cold.

In the Xinhuatang Ji family, except Master Ji, no one seemed to plan to take advantage of Ji Xiaolian's power.

"Oh, by the way, my sister-in-law entered the palace a few days ago and didn't stay in front of Concubine Ji for too long. Concubine Ji was raising her baby, and everything was very good with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. Finally, Ji Xiaotang raised Yang and said this.

Zheng Gui listened with a smile, and finally nodded.

"Although I haven't entered the palace, I occasionally heard people say it, it's almost the same." Zheng Gui said this, his smile remained unchanged, but his eyebrows were slightly raised. "It is said that everyone who has seen Concubine Ji speaks in unison. He says that Concubine Ji must be a little prince in her belly."

After Zheng Gui finished speaking, he looked at Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang took a sip of fragrant tea, then slowly put down the cloisonné enamel teacup. Then he smiled and spoke.

"How can such a thing be said accurately?"

Ji Xiaotang's attitude was clearly not interested in whether the child in Ji Xiaolian's belly was a man or a woman, or rather, she was not interested in Ji Xiaolian's pregnancy and having a child at all.

Such Ji Xiaotang is Ji Xiaotang, who Empress Dowager Han thinks the most difficult thing to control, and it also makes Zheng Gui helpless and feels that there is nowhere to start.

However, Zheng Gui does not think that Ji Xiaotang has no desires and no desires. Zheng Gui believes that Ji Xiaotang is just too cunning and covers up his true thoughts perfectly.

"It's okay if others say it, but if the Empress Dowager said this, then..." Zheng Gui paused when he said this, so that Ji Xiaotang could have enough time to truly understand the meaning of her words.?◎?§                                                                                                  �

Zheng Gui's words were almost explicit. Ji Xiaotang immediately understood what she meant.

Empress Dowager Han not only protected the child in Ji Xiaoyun's belly, but also planned to let Ji Xiaoyun give birth to a prince. Ji Xiaoyun's belly is not a magic weapon, so she can give birth to whatever Empress Dowager Han lets her give birth.

Empress Dowager Han must have made complete preparations.

I'm afraid that at this time, there are one or several pregnant women waiting to be given birth in a certain place in the capital. The date of their childbirth must be similar to Ji Xiaoyun's childbirth period, and the children in their wombs are also highly likely to be baby boys.

There are always one pregnant woman who is about to give birth to a baby boy.

Zheng Gui said these words to her today, which should not be just a speculation, but secretly found some practical clues. Ji Xiaotang planned to return to Prince An's mansion and talk to Qin Zhen later.

Regarding Ji Xiaolian's pregnancy, the movements inside and outside the palace. Qin Zhen must have eyeliners on the side that are always exploring. If Qin Lin can find out, Qin Zhen will definitely find out.

What Ji Xiaotang didn't know was that at this moment, the two brothers Qin Lin and Qin Zhen were walking in Xinyuan. The previous topic of the two brothers was also talking about the descendants in the palace.

Qin Lin and Qin Zhen were even more frank. He simply said that "disturbing the bloodline of the Tian family."

Zheng Gui is still concerned about Concubine Ji's identity, who is the daughter of the Ji family and Ji Xiaotang's cousin.

"...The Empress Dowager is a very human being." Zheng Gui's eyes fell on Qin Yu who was talking to Changsheng and Qin Ying, "There are little princes in the harem..., Yu'er and Xuan'er..."

"I'm afraid, the Empress Dowager will never want to see Yu'er and Xuan'er again." Zheng Gui held a veil and gently covered the corner of her mouth. She said it with a smile, but there was no smile in her eyes when she looked at Ji Xiaotang.

There was clearly a sense of horror in those eyes.

Ji Xiaotang also slowly put away the smile on his face.

At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with Zheng Gui's words. With a little prince in the palace, Empress Dowager Han would not ask Qin Yu or Qin Xuan to enter the palace again and again. But if you listen carefully and think carefully, Zheng Gui's words would never mean this.

There was a little prince in the palace and an heir to the throne, and he was still a very suitable puppet heir. In order to make the status of this puppet heir more stable, Empress Dowager Han would definitely find a way to get rid of Qin Yu and Qin Xuan.

Especially when the origin of this puppet heir is still so unpredictable, Qin Yu and Qin Xuan are even more dangerous.

Ji Xiaotang had not thought of this, but today after Zheng Gui mentioned it, Ji Xiaotang seemed to have come into contact with this idea for the first time.

Ji Xiaotang was silent for a while, then nodded lightly.    ?

Zheng Gui's eyes lit up, and the following topics were all around Qin Yu, Qin Ying, Qin Xuan and Qi Jin. Zheng Gui never mentioned Empress Dowager Han and Concubine Ji again, and Ji Xiaotang seemed to have completely forgotten what the two of them had just talked about.

...

After noon, the seven-jin full moon banquet gradually dispersed.

But the people in Xinhuatang did not relax.

Mrs. Ji took Yang, Zhou Nianhong, and a few managers to carefully check the gift list. She also discussed with Ji Xiaoyun and divided all the gift list into two pieces.

One of them was handed over to Ji Xiaoyun, and the other was left in Xinhuatang.

What was handed over to Ji Xiaoyun was the favor that the Shunyi Bo Mansion would return in the future. What was left in Xinhua Hall was the favor that the Xinhua Hall would return in the future. Mrs. Ji also earnestly told Ji Xiaoyun which families must go, what are the rules for returning gifts, etc.

Ji Xiaoyun had never been involved in family management in the past. After marrying into Shunyi Bo Mansion, Shunyi Bo Mansion had a special situation, few contacts, and life was quite quiet. However, from then on, Ji Xiaoyun and Xie Huaijin were no longer two people. Now that they have daughters, they will have more children in the future. They took this opportunity to slowly build up their own connections with the power of Xinhuatang and Prince An's mansion.

"Your father and I will never ignore you. Xiaotang can rely on you. However, you must live your own life and have your own constitution..."

Perhaps because of being a mother, Ji Xiaoyun was much more concerned about these things than before and listened to Mrs. Ji's teachings very seriously.

After the full moon of Qijin, Ji Xiaoyun and Xie Huaijin are about to move back to Shunyi Bo Mansion.

There are many things to clean up in Xinhua Hall, and they also have to hit someone and go to Shunyi Bo Mansion to clean up.

Ji Xiaotang saw that everyone was busy, so he didn't stay much. He asked the wet nurse to carry Xuan'er, and then brought Qin Ying and Changsheng with him, so he returned to Prince An's mansion with Qin Zhen.

Neither Mrs. Ji nor Master Ji had ever lived forever.

Although the two of them were reluctant to part with their youngest son, they knew that it was very easy for them to come back from Changsheng or to visit Changsheng in Prince An's mansion. Changsheng followed Ji Xiaotang, and they were also very relieved.

The couple is busy with Ji Xiaoyun's affairs, and they really don't have the extra energy to take care of Changsheng for the time being.

When Ji Xiaotang returned to Prince An's mansion, he settled several children and sat down with Qin Zhen in the upper house of Xichun Hall.

As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, all kinds of fresh fruits have come down, and there are also fresh fruits sent from Qin Zhen’s confidant from the south, and a table is full of. Ji Xiaotang likes to eat these, but today he seems to have no appetite.

Qin Zhen personally peeled a fruit and handed it to Ji Xiaotang.

"The table prepared by my father-in-law is too rich, and eating this one is a little relieved."

Ji Xiaotang took the fruit and ate it.

"Prince, Princess Su said something interesting to me today."

"What's the matter?" Qin Zhen asked, continuing to peel the fruit for Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang said to Qin Zhen the important words about Zheng Gui’s pregnancy and Empress Dowager Han.

"The third brother also asked me to say something alone." Qin Zhen was not surprised at all. After listening to Ji Xiaotang's narration, he also told Ji Xiaotang about what Qin Lin had asked him.

"Prince Su said such things to disrupt the bloodline of the Tian family?" Ji Xiaotang was a little surprised.

"Yes." Qin Zhen nodded. Qin Lin discussed with him today, and he was quite open and honest.

Qin Lin talked to Qin Zhen and asked Qin Zhen to work with him to expose the conspiracy of Empress Dowager Han.

Ji Xiaolian's pregnancy was completely a conspiracy of Empress Dowager Han. Empress Dowager Han was worried that Emperor Longqing would not have any children anymore and was worried that the power would fall. Therefore, he arranged for someone to be humiliated and let Ji Xiaolian get pregnant. He also planned to carry a baby boy from outside the palace to replace him if Ji Xiaolian could not give birth to a prince. Empress Dowager Han's plan also included asking Emperor Longqing to immediately sign the baby boy as the prince, which not only disrupted the bloodline of the Tian family, but also intended to instigate the emperor's throne.

In fact, Empress Dowager Han did not know in advance that Ji Xiaolian was carrying a sinful seed, and did not arrange for anyone to desecrate Ji Xiaolian.

The reason why Qin Lin discussed with Qin Zhen like this was that he knew that Qin Zhen knew the truth and used such a saying to express his sincerity in cooperating with Qin Zhen.

Because of this, all the blame was put on Empress Dowager Han. Ji Xiaolian had the opportunity to save her life, and the Ji family in Xinhuatang would not be implicated.

"So, Empress Dowager Han really made arrangements outside the palace." Ji Xiaotang was not a question.

"Yes." Qin Zhen nodded.

"Then the prince has found the traces?" Ji Xiaotang asked again.

Qin Zhen nodded again.

"So what is the prince going to do?" Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Zhen.

Qin Lin’s meaning is very clear, and he wants to make things happen. If things happen, Empress Dowager Han will definitely lose all his face. The slightest consequence is still the one who loses all his face.

Disturbing the bloodline of the Tian family is a serious crime. From then on, Empress Dowager Han will not only lose power, but will also be imprisoned and even die. Ji Xiaotang believes that Qin Lin will definitely take Queen Mother Han's life when he makes trouble this time.

This is indeed a great opportunity to get rid of Empress Dowager Han.

However, after getting rid of Empress Dowager Han.

This incident will definitely be a heavy blow to the face of the Tian family. So, what should Emperor Longqing do?

From beginning to end, Qin Lin never mentioned Emperor Longqing to Qin Zhen. But if this matter is caused, will Emperor Longqing still have the face to stay on the dragon throne?

It is not easy to make this matter come true, and the subsequent handling is even more difficult.

Qin Zhen must have considered all these.

"I don't agree with the third brother's meaning." Qin Zhen finally expressed his opinion.

Ji Xiaotang's heart moved slightly.

"The time is not right." Qin Zhen gave his reason without Ji Xiaotang's urging him. He did not want to protect Empress Dowager Han, nor did he want to get rid of Empress Dowager Han. However, this seemingly rare opportunity is not a real good time.

"Although we have captured some evidence, it is still too risky to push the Queen Mother down with these things." It is still a more implicit statement. In Qin Zhen's opinion, Ji Xiaolian alone cannot push the Queen Mother Han.

Although Empress Dowager Han left some tails and was revealed by them, Empress Dowager Han also got rid of the most important witness.

The guard who made Ji Xiaolian pregnant was silently disposed of by Queen Mother Han, and there was no evidence of death.
