In the Chaoge Wei Palace, a breeze passed through the empty hall and fluttered on the jade curtain. The jade curtain made a "ding-dong" sound, making the room even more quiet. The maids on the left and right were all muttering, ever since Guan Ji entered the palace, Every time Mrs. Li summoned her, she would specially place her in this room with a jade curtain. I wonder why?

Guan Ji knelt in front of the curtain, bowed deeply towards the jade curtain, and looked extremely humble: "Mrs. Lao is worried about me. I will definitely not be so careless in the future and disturb the peace of Mrs. Tao."

Her speaking voice was so soft, like the clear spring in the valley or the bright moon in the mountains, cold and dim, pure and pure, without a speck of dust or color. When this beautiful voice fell into Mrs. Li's ears, she felt relieved. :Fortunately, the voice doesn’t sound like it, otherwise, facing this face, wouldn’t I have nightmares every night?

She cleared her throat and asked: "You are indeed too careless. If it weren't for the maid assigned to you by this palace, who tried her best to hold you, if you really rolled down the steps, let alone the fetus in your belly. , even you yourself can’t escape death?”

Guan Ji trembled and said in a trembling voice: "I have never thought of ------"

Mrs. Li snorted coldly and said with a pun: "Why don't I understand your thoughts? But there are some things that I still have to tell you clearly. The doctor has already told you, the fetus in your belly-- ----"

When she said this, she paused deliberately, and she saw that Guan Ji outside the curtain had her head lowered, but her hands were tightly holding the ribbon on her sleeves, which was due to excessive nervousness.

"You don't have to be too nervous. Although you are only pregnant with a girl, you will still have the opportunity to work for you in the future." Guan Ji's hands instantly let go of the ribbon, and she raised her head slightly. The lady continued: "But if you forcefully abort this pregnancy, it is very likely that you will become infertile and you will never be able to give birth to a boy and a girl."

Guan Ji tightened her grip on the ribbon again, and Mrs. Li waved her sleeves and said: "You are a smart person. You should know that if you are Ji, if it were not for this piece of meat in your belly, you would never have the opportunity to enter my palace and stay with you forever. Go up and down. You have to be careful about your own future. You should carefully consider which is more important. Okay, get out of here!"

Seeing Guan Ji go away, the maid rolled up the jade curtain and said softly: "Guan Ji clearly has a ghost in her heart and wants to abort the fetus to cover up her ugly appearance. Why didn't the lady make this clear to scare this girl and pinch her?" Is the handle good?"

"What do you know?" Mrs. Li said slightly angrily: "My step-son is about to go to court. How can this bitch not feel guilty? But after all, this piece of meat is in her own belly. If she insists on doing anything rashly, we will not be able to guard against it. No matter how many more people I send, it will all be in vain. It is just a matter of reason and emotion. After all, only when this child is born can there be a real handle. Otherwise, it is all nonsense----- -"

"My wife is so far-sighted that I, my servants, are ashamed of myself."

"Okay, stop flattering. Send someone out of the palace quickly to find out when your Majesty will enter the city?"

The maid coquettishly said: "Don't worry, Madam, the arrangements have been made long ago. Now rumors and slanders are flying everywhere in Chaoge City, and the safekeeping fell into the ears of the Lord------"

Wei Boyu entered the city from the south gate of Chaoge, where merchants gathered and there were many shops. It was the busiest place in the city. But as soon as he entered the city, he felt an unusual atmosphere enveloped him. Although he didn't want to show off, he sat in a car It was a carriage with compartments, but the people still saw from the guard of honor and the standard of the carriage and horses that this was the carriage of the King of Wei. For a while, whispers continued, as if countless people were pointing at their carriage and talking about it. .

"Does he still have the nerve to return to the country? I have been a close relative of the Zhou royal family for several generations in our country, and he was promoted to the title of marquis. He went to Haojing, offended the king of Zhou and Duke Zhao, and was demoted to the rank of uncle. It's strange.

, How can such a monarch have the nerve to come back?" This is a loud voice.

"You don't know, don't you? Our king said he was going to Haojing for a funeral, but it turned out that the late king's funeral ceremony had been over for two or three days before he slowly arrived at the royal city. Do you think the emperor could not be angry?

If it weren't for the fact that they both share the surname Ji, he would have deserved to be cooked like that Marquis of Qi Ai!"

"Hey!" This was a woman's voice: "When our late king passed away, we did not see this filial son beside his bed. He! He has a habit of being unfaithful and unfilial. With such a king, we will not be able to look up to him in the Central Plains after we defend our country.

Get started!"

"Hmph!" an older voice said angrily: "The soldiers have been besieging the city for two months, but we have not seen this king lead us to defend our family and the country. If it weren't for the young master and the bloody battle, we would have been kidnapped by the soldiers and taken to the grassland as slaves.

Oh! What use is there for such a king who is unfilial to his family and unjust to his people?"

"That's right!" everyone said in agreement. The woman's voice spoke again, with a rather mysterious tone: "Oh! Do you know? I heard that he took a woman as his wife, and the bead is darkened, and now it is

The queen has been taken into the palace."

"Oh?" No matter which dynasty or generation, the masses are always very interested in gossip news, and they ask one after another: "What kind of woman? Why not just be included in the palace? Could it be that she is a married woman, not

Dare you act openly?"

After a burst of laughter, the woman said seriously: "Even more unworthy than a married woman, that woman comes from the Guan family."

"Guan family?" Someone said in surprise: "Isn't that after Uncle Guan? A branch of the surname Ji? Oh my! Where can I put the "Li" of Zhou after doing such a rebellious thing? It's simply worse than a beast------"

"No wonder Chaoge City suffered a military disaster. It turned out that Uncle Wei acted improperly and took a girl with the same surname as a concubine, which caused us trouble. What kind of face does this person have as a king?"

These bursts of ridicule and scolding fell on Wei Boyu's ears word by word, like slaps on his face, making him feel on pins and needles.

"Stop the car!" The driver stopped. Shijiao ran up from behind and asked, "Master, what's the matter?"

"Get in the car!"

"promise!"

As soon as Shijiao lifted the sedan curtain, Wei Boyu couldn't wait to ask: "Where is Guan Ji now?"

"My lord, when we first entered the city, a retainer came to report that she was pregnant, so my daughter-in-law took it upon herself to enter the palace and report to the dowager. Now that she has entered the palace, everything is fine, lord, don't worry." Shijiao.

He said calmly.

"That's good, that's good." Wei Boyu murmured, and then his words became desolate: "But my stepmother is not an easy person to get along with. How can she let it go lightly when she has got this big deal from me? I'm afraid

There will be endless troubles."

"My lord," Shi Jiao couldn't help but said, "I have long advised you not to associate with this Guan Ji or accept her as an outside concubine. But ------ now that things have happened, it is like a boat capsized in water.

, it’s irreversible. Fortunately, it’s just a woman. As time goes by, the Chinese people don’t bother to talk about it anymore.”

"So, you heard the discussion outside the carriage? They all feel that I am not worthy of being the king anymore, and that the young master is better than me in everything. You think so too, right?" Wei Boyu said, half sad and half frustrated.

explain.

Shijiao was startled: "Why does my lord have such intention? I serve my lord loyally, and I will never have second thoughts. The sun will tell me."

"That's all!" Wei Boyu waved his hands feebly: "Let them go! The stepmother wants to seize this position for her younger brother, the people of the country dislike me, and the emperor and Duke Zhao don't want to see me either. It seems that Wei's country will soon be

It’s not for me anymore!”
