The Queen Mother took Hui Concubine and the second princess back to Shou'an Palace, but she never spoke to Hui Concubine again, and the look on her face was indifferent. Hui Concubine was worried, not knowing whether the Queen Mother would protect her this time. She looked at the Queen Mother

There she gently coaxed the second princess, but she didn't dare to speak.

After the imperial doctor looked at the wounds on the hands and arms of the second princess and applied medicine, the second princess fell asleep in the Queen Mother's arms, probably because she was tired from crying.

The Queen Mother looked at the second princess with her eyes closed and tears still hanging on her eyelashes. She gently wiped away the tears that were about to fall with a handkerchief, placed her gently on the bed, and ordered her personal palace maid Lingxiu to

He personally watched over the second princess and turned around and left the room.

Concubine Ming glanced at the second princess on the bed distressedly, sighed silently, and followed the empress dowager out of the room without even giving Hui Bin a look the whole time.

When Concubine Hui saw Concubine Ming going out, she quickly chased after her.

The Queen Mother was sitting outside and was asking Laifu, the eunuch of Shou'an Palace, "How is Qu Cai's situation?"

Laifu replied: "The imperial doctor just went to see me. I heard that she used medicine to induce labor, but after all, the time has not come yet, so the birth may not be that easy."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she gave Hui Bin a look in the eyes as she came out, and then asked Laifu: "Has the Queen passed?"

Laifu said: "The Queen may have just heard the news and has already rushed over now."

"Ha..." The Queen Mother laughed mockingly, and was about to say something. When she saw Hui Bin swallowing her words again, she said to Lingyuan: "Take Hui Bin down to have a good rest first, don't worry about getting hurt.

The fetus in the womb.”

Concubine Hui forced a smile and said: "The Queen Mother, I am not tired now, and I am not worried about the second princess. I want to wait here for the second princess to wake up." She had not heard from the Queen Mother yet.

After hearing assurances that would benefit her, she didn't want to continue like this.

The Queen Mother's eyes fell on Hui Bin, and the expression on her face did not change at all, but Hui Bin felt that her entire being was seen through by the Queen Mother.

Just when Hui Bin couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to kneel in front of the Queen Mother to admit her mistake, the Queen Mother looked away again and said: "Hui Bin, do you know that the most important thing now is the fetus in your belly?"

Hui Bin was stunned for a moment, as if she understood something from the Queen Mother's words, and saluted to the Queen Mother, "I would like to thank the Queen Mother for your teaching. I will go down and rest now."

After saying that, Hui Bin relaxed her mind and left the main hall of Shou'an Palace, and followed Ling Yuan to the side hall to rest.

She thought that since the Queen Mother said that the most important thing now was the fetus in her belly, it meant that for the sake of the fetus in her belly, the Emperor would not do anything to her.

Concubine Ming looked at Concubine Hui's back and shook her head secretly. Her niece was really not that smart.

After Concubine Hui went out, Concubine Ming looked at the Empress Dowager with a guilty look on her face and said, "The Ming family has no way of educating their daughters. It is a shame for the empress and the emperor to raise such a ignorant daughter."

Although the Queen Mother was angry with Hui Bin, she would not vent her anger on Concubine Ming and the Ming family. She shook her head and reassured Concubine Ming: "You are just too careful. Concubine Hui's personal behavior will affect the entire Ming Dynasty."

Family? If the Ming family really doesn’t know how to teach their daughters, how could they teach a loyal and kind person like you, my little sister?”

"The Ai family still remembers how you, sister, helped the mother and son of the Ai family when they were rejected by the late emperor, and how you interceded for them in front of the emperor. If it hadn't been for your secret care of the Ai family in those years, the Ai family would have been

Mother and son may have been tortured to death before the late emperor could change his mind."

Not only did the Queen Mother remember this, but the Emperor also remembered it.

Just because I remembered the secret help given by Concubine Ming back then, after the death of the late emperor, the barren concubines in the palace were either sent to be buried with the late emperor, or sent to the royal temple for repairs.

Concubine Ming, who did not bear a son and a half for the late emperor, stayed in the palace in the name of accompanying the empress dowager. She enjoyed the honor of concubine, and the Ming family was still glorious.

Concubine Hui was able to take the position of concubine not only because she was so angry that she gave birth to the second princess, but also because of Concubine Ming.

If it weren't for Concubine Ming's sake, the emperor would not be so tolerant of concubine Hui.

The emperor is a person who cares about old friendships. If Hui Bin can honestly not act like a monster in the palace, then with the good fortune accumulated by Concubine Ming, there is no way she will have a hard time in the palace.

It’s just that Hui Bin is really...

The Queen Mother shook her head again and said to Concubine Ming: "Hui Bin did go too far this time. The Emperor may be very angry. It's not just because of Qu Cairen's affairs. Look at her treatment of Lan'er. If we didn't know about Lan'er,

It came out of her belly, and I thought she was not Lan'er's biological mother and concubine."

Hui Bin said that she punished Qu Cairen for the sake of the second princess, but if she really cared about the second princess, when she saw the second princess was injured, she did not immediately ask the imperial doctor to look after the second princess's injury, but threw the second princess aside first

Run to punish the talented person.

Moreover, the second princess was so frightened that she didn't even notice.

Concubine Ming lowered her head in shame when she heard what the Queen Mother said. She felt ashamed to have such a ignorant niece, and she was not as angry with Hui Bin as the Queen Mother was with Hui Bin. The second princess was born with

She was weak, and she took care of the second princess day and night for two years. In her heart, the second princess was much more important than concubine Hui.

Hui Bin didn't take the second princess seriously and didn't care about the second princess' life or death. She really wanted to slap Hui Bin a few times to see if she could wake her up and let her know how to be a qualified mother.

The reason why she didn't do this was that, firstly, the Queen Mother was here, and even if she wanted to teach her niece a lesson, she couldn't act beyond the Queen Mother. Secondly, Huibin was now pregnant for more than seven months, and she had to worry about Huibin's pregnancy.

of fetus.

Concubine Ming expressed her position: "Concubine Hui behaved inappropriately and behaved inappropriately. No matter how the emperor punished her, she deserved it. If the fetus in Qu Cai's belly was short and long, the emperor wanted her to pay for it with her life. Neither I nor the Ming family would do it."

There will be no complaints.”

The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "How can it be as serious as you said? Just for the sake of you and the second princess, the Emperor will not let Hui Concubine pay with her life. At most, she will be demoted."

Concubine Ming said: "She has done such a thing, and just demoting her by one rank is too cheap for her."

The Queen Mother said: "After all, Hui concubine gave birth to the second princess for the emperor, and now she is still pregnant with the emperor's heir, which can be regarded as a meritorious service. Don't blame her too harshly later, let her relax and give birth to the fetus in her belly."

Come down."
