Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Chapter 247 Concubine Cheng's Child

The Queen Mother pushed away the medicine with a sorrowful look on her face and murmured weakly, "No, we must have our own spies around the Emperor.

Otherwise, I would be kept in the dark about everything, lose the initiative, and sooner or later, like Hengchu, I would become a chess piece that could be manipulated by others and abandoned at any time.

If the emperor never has one of our own people around him, and something happens, we will be like fools kept in the dark, with no idea what to do or what to do. "

The Queen Mother sighed and began to think, "Qi Ru is old and will have to retire soon. The Emperor now values ​​Jiang Yubin, who was recommended by the Queen.

I have seen through Hengchu's affairs this time. The emperor is no longer the emperor who was obedient to me in everything.

I can’t intervene with the ministers of the previous dynasty, so I can only continue to start with the harem.”

The emperor is suspicious, and there is a rift between mother and son. If the empress dowager wants to recommend someone new, I'm afraid the emperor will be on guard.

The Queen Mother went over the rest of the people in the harem in her mind.

Concubine Chun and Concubine Hui, who are not in good health to serve the emperor, are not eligible.

The Empress and Wanpin, who were too infatuated like Shufei, were not suitable. Yufei, who obeyed the Empress in everything, was also not suitable.

Concubine Rou was not favored, Concubine Ying was young and unsophisticated. The next Concubine was too low in rank to have a say.

After much consideration, only Concubine Cheng and Concubine Ling are more suitable.

However, these two had conflicts before, so it was difficult to recruit them both.

In view of the previous events, the Queen Mother still gave priority to Concubine Cheng, who had more interactions with her and was closer to her.

Fujia came today to make a clear statement in front of everyone. Concubine Cheng and the heir in her womb are both under the protection of the Queen Mother, and no one is allowed to have any bad intentions towards her.

Doctor Bao was terrified and trembling slightly. Fujia narrowed his eyes sharply, "Doctor Bao, why don't you tell me the truth about who is behind this?"

At this moment, a eunuch's voice came from outside the palace, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw the emperor walking towards them with his hands behind his back with a solemn expression.

Beside him was Wei Yanwan, who had simply washed and combed her hair and was wearing a lake green cheongsam with a hundred butterflies and hibiscus pattern, with no makeup on her face.

"Fujia, this imperial physician was transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Jingyang Palace with my approval.

Why does the Empress Dowager want to suspect that I intentionally harmed Concubine Cheng and her own children, just as she suspected that I deliberately made Duanshu remarry in exchange for peace? "

Originally in the Yangxin Palace, the emperor had already fallen into a deep sleep with long breathing.

Wei Yanwan lay aside with her eyes open, her hands tightly grasping the quilt, her gaze fixed on the dark bed curtain above her head that was hidden in the night.

She was in a very complicated mood. She wanted to hear news from Jingyang Palace, but was also afraid to hear news from Jingyang Palace.

As early as when Imperial Physician Qi was first taken out of the Cining Palace by Fujia, Jinzhong made some noise according to Wei Yanwan's instructions.

Wei Yanwan had expected that Concubine Cheng was not the kind of person who would sit still and wait for death. If something happened, she would definitely reveal her connection with the Queen Mother to seek protection.

The most direct help the Queen Mother could give to Concubine Cheng was from Imperial Physician Qi.

Once Doctor Qi leaves, things will inevitably change uncontrollably.

Wei Yanwan immediately pretended to wake up from a nightmare and acted coquettishly in the emperor's arms.

She pretended to have a guilty conscience, and changed her usual behavior, with every word she said expressing her concern for the child in Concubine Cheng's belly.

The emperor naturally wondered why Wei Yanwan was so kind. After all, Concubine Cheng was confined because her maid Yancao harmed Wei Yanwan.

But the beauty's plain face and tears, her delicate attitude of forbearing humiliation and being willing to sacrifice herself to consider him in every way, soon overwhelmed the emperor's mind.

The emperor finally put on his clothes and rushed to Jingyang Palace with Wei Yanwan.

As soon as I arrived at the palace gate, I saw Fujia scolding Doctor Bao.

Previously, the emperor was coaxed by Li Shuren into drinking a lot of warm wine, and his body was weak, so he felt cold all winter.

Most of the prescriptions of Imperial Physicians Qi and Jiang are for slow, tonic and beneficial treatment, seeking stability rather than speed, which always dissatisfied the Emperor.

It was Doctor Bao who, under Wei Yanwan's urging, came up with an idea and took a risk by presenting the emperor with a qi-replenishing pill containing ginseng, deer antler and some other medicinal ingredients. This allowed the emperor to recover quickly.

Later, Concubine Cheng was placed under house arrest, and the Emperor conveniently transferred Imperial Physician Bao to Jingyang Palace.

It was just a small matter like this, so naturally the Queen Mother didn't know about it.

Fujia knelt on the ground, secretly regretting her impatience. Perhaps it was because the Queen Mother had been unlucky recently, which made her even more impatient when doing things.

Wei Yanwan hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Aunt Fujia was anxious at the time, so there may have been some misunderstandings in her words.

Your Majesty, Aunt Fujia is not such an unstable person on weekdays, and the Queen Mother would never doubt you, so please forgive Aunt Fujia."

The emperor still took filial piety into consideration. He followed the steps given by Wei Yanwan, coughed lightly, and signaled Fujia to stand up.

"Well, the dragon fetus in Concubine Cheng's belly has not yet landed. Fujia, you wait aside for now."

Fujia stood up and stood with his eyes lowered, not daring to say anything more, for fear that saying too much would make mistakes and increase the rift between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

"Qi Ru, how is Concubine Cheng now?" The emperor naturally asked about Concubine Cheng's current situation.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Qi Ru's forehead, and he repeated what he had just said to Fujia.

The emperor only hesitated for a moment, then asked, "The dragon fetus in Concubine Cheng's belly is already seven months old. Can the birth be induced?"

"This..." Qi Ru hesitated for a while, and said with difficulty, "It is possible, but the baby born through induced labor will be extremely weak and will die if we are not careful.

Moreover, this method is extremely harmful to the mother's body. Empress Cheng may...may..."

A fleeting sneer flashed across the emperor's lips, "Even Fujia came here in person at midnight, which shows that the Empress Dowager values ​​​​Concubine Cheng's pregnancy very much.

It is true that the Empress Dowager was worried about her younger sister Hengchu's remarriage.

If Concubine Cheng's child can be raised by the Empress Dowager, I think the Empress Dowager will feel more at ease. Fujia, is that right?"

Fujia didn't dare to look the emperor in the eye.

Although the Queen Mother did have this in mind and rushed to Jingyang Palace at night, but having her thoughts exposed in public by the Emperor still made Fujia blush slightly.

If only one can be saved between the mother and the son, even if the empress dowager comes to choose personally, she will definitely choose the crown prince.

After all, concubines can be in or out of favor, but the royal heir is the royal bloodline, and no matter what, he will always have a place in the emperor's heart.

The emperor knew that the empress dowager would not be able to settle down so easily, so he gave up and focused on her retirement.

Seeing that Fujia agreed, the emperor felt chilled in his heart.

The emperor has made up his mind. Even if the Empress Dowager really raised Concubine Cheng's child, he will never pity Concubine Cheng and her child again, let alone let the child succeed to the throne.
