Chapter 11
Chapter 11
Ever since Shengqing had a showdown about the child on that mid-autumn night, Wei Lin never came to him again. It seemed that Wei Lin didn't care that the child was not the old emperor.
This is far from what Sheng Qing expected.
But that's right, Wei Lin is crazy about criticizing the male protagonist. Even if someone in the court uses the fact that he is the former empress and the "posthumous son" of the former emperor to accuse Wei Lin, I believe that Wei Lin's tyrant personality will not bother bother.
If those old stubbornness made Wei Lin anxious, maybe Wei Lin would cut off all the people simply and roughly, and hang their heads on the city wall for a few days to see who dares to speak nonsense.
Why bother to use him and the cub in his belly when he can solve it directly with violence.
Even so, Sheng Qing didn't want to sit still. These days, various forces outside the palace began to think about the cub in his stomach, trying to bribe people in Weiyang Palace to send news to him.
These days, he has received at least four secret letters sent to him in various ways.
And the content is mostly the same.
It was nothing more than showing his loyalty to him, wanting to support the cub in his belly, and drawing a big cake for him to listen to politics behind the curtain in the future. Sheng Qing ignored these people.
Sheng Qing is not a fool. In the last years of the Qi Kingdom, the old emperor was addicted to sex and ignored the government. Many people gained power because of this, and Wei Lin is not the only one who has the heart of disobedience!
These people sound good, they want to overthrow Wei Lin, a traitorous official, and welcome the son of the former emperor to the throne. In fact, they just want to cultivate a puppet emperor to continue to exercise power. Sheng Qing believes that if he agrees to those people, he will wait until they overthrow Wei Lin. On that day, the father will immediately leave the son.
What's more, Sheng Qing believes that those people's ambitions will definitely not succeed. How can such a ruthless person as Wei Lin overthrow it just by saying overthrow it!
He didn't want to risk his life with this group of people.
He just wanted to find a time to escape from the palace, and with his years of experience as a doctor, he could open a small clinic and live a peaceful life with the baby in his stomach.
But today is different from the past. Before, he was a favorite concubine in the palace who wanted wind and rain, and it was difficult to leave the palace. Now that Wei Lin is the emperor, he is just a former queen in name only. It is as difficult as climbing the sky.
So he can only play by ear.
And before he finds a chance to escape from the palace, the most important thing he should do is to maintain a good relationship with Wei Lin.
After all, his current life, death and everything are completely in Wei Lin's hands.
Looking at the rough tea on the table that did not match the clear emerald tea set, Sheng Qing's expression darkened. People in the palace are used to looking at the dishes, seeing that he has become a former court that everyone hates. The queen began to treat him harshly.
Seeing that it is about to enter late autumn, this year's autumn clothes have not been delivered, and most of the palace people in Weiyang Palace have sneaked away to find another way out.
Although Sheng Qing could bear this, he couldn't keep doing this. The more this went on, the more difficult it would be for him to get a chance to leave the palace.
If you are not powerful in the palace, it will be very difficult to inquire about news and handle affairs.
That's why Sheng Qing wanted to draw in his relationship with Wei Lin. With the emperor's favor, it would be much easier to do things.
Since Wei Lin refuses to come to him, then he will go to Wei Lin!
Except for going to court, Wei Lin spends most of his time reviewing memorials in the Zichen Palace, so he will go to the Zichen Palace to 'encounter' the tyrant.
The Zichen Palace where the emperor lives is fairly close to the Weiyang Palace. Now that he is in his capacity, he naturally has nowhere to go. Sheng Qing doesn't care about walking a few more steps, and it is right to exercise more for the child before delivery.
Sheng Qing went to Zichen Palace for another purpose besides getting close to Wei Lin.
That is the secret passage leading to the outside of the palace mentioned in the book.
Sheng Qing has been thinking about the secret passage these days. Even if he can't see Wei Lin when he goes to Zichen Hall today, it would be good to confirm whether the secret passage exists and its location.
If there really was a secret passage, he wouldn't have to please Wei Lin, an uncertain tyrant, and just find time to escape along the secret passage.
It's just that before Sheng Qing arrived at Zichen Palace, he heard the news halfway.
"Have you heard?
There is a nobleman in the palace having an affair with a guard! "
Passing by the Imperial Garden, Sheng Qing heard a few young eunuchs gathering to chat about the gossip that was circulating in the palace recently.
"Of course I've heard that my second uncle's cousin works in the bodyguard's office, and the news has spread among their bodyguards, and everyone is wondering who has the guts to even touch His Majesty's people! "
"Be careful what you say. Now that the dynasty has changed, there is no marriage today. This noble person can only belong to the former emperor."
A young eunuch covered the mouth of another eunuch.
"Yes, yes, it belongs to the former emperor."
"Since it's all about the previous dynasty, who cares about these things, those two people are lucky, they were not discovered, and now they don't have to be punished."
"That's what you said is wrong. Although the dynasty has changed, the palace rules are still the same. If they are found out, there will be no less offenses that should be punished."
"Then what is the punishment for this kind of crime?"
"This kind of filthy and messy palace will have to be killed."
"so serious!"
……
Seeing a few young eunuchs walking away, Sheng Qing, who was hiding behind the rockery, frowned. At first he didn't care about these court anecdotes, but the more he listened, the more he seemed to be alluding to what happened to him that night?
Could it be Wei Lin?
Then Sheng Qing shook his head again. Although Wei Lin is a tyrant with deep thoughts, he should disdain to do such a thing.
If Wei Lin wanted people to know that the child in his womb was not the old emperor's, he would definitely tell the world directly, so as not to make so many troubles.
Then who would spend so much time spreading this kind of news in the palace?
Sheng Qing had been thinking deeply and didn't look at the road under his feet, so naturally he didn't notice the person coming from the opposite side.
Sheng Qing didn't recover from the pain until his body hit the chest of the opposite person, which was as hard as a wall.
"oops!"
Sheng Qing rubbed his sore arm, raised his eyes slightly, and saw Wei Lin's extremely handsome face. No matter what, as the only protagonist in the original book, Wei Lin's face is definitely the place where Nuwa shows off her skills. Every detail seems to have been carefully crafted.
After appreciating it for a long time, Sheng Qing came back to his senses and realized that his behavior seemed to be very rude, so he hurriedly asked Wei Wei to respectfully say, "See Your Majesty."
But before Sheng Qing could continue with the ceremony, Wei Lin stopped him with one hand.
"Don't be too polite."
Sheng Qing didn't think much about it either, and it happened that he didn't want to bow to others either.
Only then did Sheng Qing take a closer look at Wei Lin's whole body. Wei Lin was still wearing a black court dress embroidered with gold silk, and seemed to be in a hurry, a little dusty.
Wei Lin on the opposite side was also looking at Sheng Qing. Compared with the previous days, the young man seemed to have lost a lot of weight. His originally small face now had a pointed chin, which looked no bigger than his palm.
He is too thin, so he has to ask the Imperial Dining Room to cook more dishes that suit his appetite.
Seeing Sheng Qing's slightly flimsy clothes, Wei Lin couldn't help frowning. He had endured humiliation in the palace for five years, so he naturally knew that the people in the palace had a temperament of adapting to the wind, but he didn't expect them to treat Sheng Qing so harshly.
Wei Lin silently remembered in his heart that he wanted someone to make more clothes for Sheng Qing.
"Don't pay attention to the rumors in the palace, I will take care of it."
When Wei Lin said this, Sheng Qing knew that he was referring to the affair of the guards that he heard just now.
Unexpectedly, Wei Lin was so well informed that he even knew the gossip circulating in the palace recently.
"Chen... uh... villain..."
Thinking of what Wei Lin said earlier not to allow him to call himself a minister, Sheng Qing wanted to change his name, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know how to say it.
Sheng Qing couldn't help cursing secretly in her heart: What a tyrant!
"I."
Wei Lin's deep voice came from above his head.
"what?"
Seeing that Sheng Qing didn't react, Wei Lin continued: "Just call yourself in front of me."
"Yes, minister... I don't care about those rumors."
Sheng Qing pretended to be obedient and said.
Wei Lin looked at Sheng Qing, a little lost in thought.
He actually dared not face Sheng Qing these days. He was pregnant with his child, but he still pretended not to admit it. What kind of animal behavior is this!
Wei Lin spurned himself every day in his heart.
It's just that the current situation is unstable, and he can't let people know the existence of Sheng Qing and the child, otherwise it will put them in an extremely dangerous situation.
Sometimes, Wei Lin even thought it would be better to just kill those people who got in the way recklessly like in the previous life, but thinking of Sheng Qing's words of accumulating virtue for the children dispelled this idea.
He can't repeat the mistakes of his previous life, let alone let Sheng Qing and the child bear the consequences of his actions.
"I didn't do it." Wei Lin looked at Sheng Qing and said slowly. After he heard the rumors in the palace, he immediately wanted to find Sheng Qing. Sheng Qing only told him that the child was not the old emperor, and he didn't want to. Sheng Qing misunderstood that he did it.
For some reason, he didn't want to leave a bad image in the young man's heart.
Sheng Qing, who lowered his head, was surprised.
The tyrant is explaining this to him?
