Chapter 211 Kindness
"Songzhi, what are you talking about? This palace hasn't been happy for many years and it has something to do with Cao Qinmo?"
Concubine Hua, who had her eyes closed just now, forced herself to sit up.
"My beloved, the imperial physician says you are two months pregnant. You must not get too excited."
"Just take care of yourself and I will definitely seek justice for you."
The emperor comforted her gently, placing his big hand gently on her shoulder to stop her from getting up.
Su Peisheng reacted quickly, covering Cao Qinmo's mouth with a handkerchief and dragging her roughly into the yard.
When Concubine Hua heard the emperor's words, her eyes widened. She opened her lips slightly, but no sound came out.
She pointed to her abdomen excitedly, as if confirming something.
"My beloved, you heard me right. You are indeed pregnant with my child."
The emperor explained it again with a smile, and when he glanced at the queen who was guarding the bed, he seemed to remember something and gave her instructions.
"Noble Concubine Hua is weak. Please wait until the baby is stable before paying your respects."
"I obey your command. Concubine Hua's pregnancy is a great joy, and she deserves a good rest."
"Your Majesty, I will personally go to Shoukang Palace at dawn to report this good news to the Empress Dowager."
The Queen suggested gently with a proper smile on her face.
She thought to herself, God is blind, this shrew Concubine Hua is actually pregnant with a dragon fetus.
The addition of musk to Huanyi incense was a conspiracy between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. If the news of Concubine Hua's pregnancy spread to Shoukang Palace, it would be hard to say whether the Empress Dowager would be able to sit still.
"Empress, you still have palace affairs to attend to. I will go and report the good news to the Queen Mother."
After he finished speaking, he turned to An Lingrong without caring about the Queen's expression.
"Noble Concubine Shu, you have always been prudent. Please escort Noble Concubine Hua back to Yikun Palace."
"I obey my orders."
The matter of Suiyuxuan had not yet been resolved. An Lingrong helped the weak Concubine Hua to sit on the sedan chair and carefully sent her back to the palace.
After throwing several geese by the neck, they entered the main hall.
"Lingrong, why don't you ask me why I attacked Cao Qinmo?"
Concubine Hua looked at the person drinking water curiously.
"Is that even a question? She must have offended you."
"Don't forget, I've already warned you that Cao Qinmo is not easy to tame."
An Lingrong took another sip of honey water.
"Sister Nian, the geese in your palace can protect your home and yard from villains, so take good care of them."
Apart from the fact that the geese attacked people indiscriminately, An Lingrong had not found any flaws in them for the time being.
She noticed that the Queen looked very unhappy when Doctor Zhang told her that Concubine Hua was pregnant.
Concubine Hua is pregnant, and not only the Queen can't sit still, but everyone else too.
After the two of them left Suiyuxuan, the emperor asked everyone to disperse.
Before leaving, the Queen took Huanbi, whose face was covered in black and gray, with her, saying that she would arrange accommodation for her and ask the Imperial Household Department to purchase some items for her.
As the emperor and empress left, the others also said goodbye.
Zhen Huan stood in front of the ruins of the West Wing Hall with a complicated expression. "Aunt Jingxi, I heard that the lotus water tank in the small kitchen broke. Have you found out who did it?"
"Master, when the fire broke out in the west wing hall, there was chaos in the Broken Jade Pavilion."
"We now know that there is a traitor in Suiyuxuan. Master, please rest assured that I will remove these traitors one by one."
Cui Jinxi suspected that the people who destroyed the water tank and cut the well rope were the same group of people.
"Aunt, I feel that this matter is not that simple. I hope you will take the trouble to investigate further in secret."
Not long after riding in the sedan chair containing musk, she had a miscarriage. Zhen Huan didn't believe that Concubine Hua, who had used the sedan chair for many years, would be safe and sound.
"Liu Zhu, please go to the Imperial Hospital later and ask Doctor Wen to come and take your pulse."
Zhen Huan was skeptical about Concubine Hua's pregnancy.
After all, Shen Meizhuang's fake pregnancy left a deep impression on her.
On the other side, the emperor gave orders with murderous intent as soon as he returned to the Yangxin Palace.
"Su Peisheng, I don't want to see Cao Qinmo, do you understand?"
Cao Qinmo is cunning and has received so many favors from Concubine Hua, but in the end she wants to frame her.
The emperor could never tolerate such a vicious concubine in the harem, not to mention that this involved some unspeakable secrets, so Cao Qinmo could not be kept.
"Your Majesty, I understand."
Su Peisheng didn't move. He took out the purse hidden in his arms.
"Your Majesty, I found a small purse with a mark on it in the eunuch's room."
"Who are you protecting, you little dog slave?"
The furious emperor threw the memorial on the table towards Su Peisheng.
He was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to say that I have seen the surname on this purse in the large calligraphy you practiced."
During the days when the master is out of the palace, he practices calligraphy every night.
Su Peisheng, who was serving as a personal attendant, looked at the large characters written on each piece of paper with Concubine Wan's name on them. He knew that his master had taken this person who was somewhat similar to Empress Chunyuan to heart.
The master had lived a very hard life these years, and Su Peisheng wanted him to be happier, so he kept the small purse.
But he also harbored a grudge against Zhen Huan and her servant, so he took over the small purse when no one was around.
After Su Peisheng's reminder, the emperor immediately came to his senses.
"Hurry up and present your purse."
Under Su Peisheng's guidance, he found the word "Zhen" in the inconspicuous folds of the purse.
And in the purse was a stack of small silver bills from Huitong Money House.
"You go down and do your work. I need to rest for a while."
The emperor stroked the purse in his hand, feeling mixed emotions.
"Xia Qie, what did your people find?"
"Your Majesty, Minister Zhen did go to Huitong Bank a few days ago to exchange a small amount of silver notes."
"Cui Jinxi, who was beside Concubine Wan, secretly bought some lard and dry branches for starting a fire from the Imperial Household Department and stored them in the warehouse of Suiyuxuan."
"The two large water tanks in the small kitchen were obtained from the Imperial Household Department under the pretext of growing lotus flowers, and they are always filled with water."
"The servants also accidentally discovered that Miss Baizhi, who is beside Concubine Wan, had asked the eunuch in charge of Chengqian Palace about the furnishings in the palace."
"In addition, when Concubine Wan first entered the palace, the palace arranged for her by the Empress was Chengqian Palace."
The emperor stared at the purse in his hand in a daze, and only after a long time did he let Xia Qie leave.
Be gentle!
He sighed in his heart, I once thought that Concubine Wan was as beautiful and talented as you, but now it seems that she still has the selfish desires of an ordinary woman.
No one in this world can compare to your kindness and innocence.
