Chapter 63(1/2)
The Empress Dowager was furious and sent someone to invite Emperor Mingwen, and the Empress Gong's face suddenly became dark.
Chu Yunning, who was standing beside her, was very relieved, and she waited for Xia to agree to fight the Queen.
Neither of them is a good bird.
...
"Xia promised to be pregnant?" Emperor Mingwen was accompanying Concubine Li Shu, and he was stunned when he heard the news.
Concubine Li Shu in his arms shrank and couldn't believe it: "How could Xia promise to be pregnant suddenly?
Concubine Lishu struggled slightly, and the child in her womb took great effort to save it. If she was the only child, she would definitely be valued.
But now Xia has agreed, and Concubine Lishu feels a little uncomfortable.
"Congratulations to the emperor." Concubine Lishu struggled to sit up, but Emperor Mingwen held her down: "Your body is stable, you don't have to get up."
"I am happy for the emperor. You have a little prince again." Concubine Li Shu forced a smile: "Why did I hear that Princess Xiao discovered Xia in time that she promised to be pregnant?"
Emperor Mingwen frowned.
"Princess Xiao... won't be unfavorable to the emperor's heir, right?" Concubine Li Shu pretended to be worried, but she hated Chu Yunning for nostalgia and was even more upset that she shouldn't have entered the palace.
Otherwise no one would have discovered that the flaws promised to be pregnant.
When Xia promised to be the imperial concubine, how many people did she offend? This month the life that Xia promised was very difficult.
If no one noticed it, Xia's promised child might have fallen out quietly.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and her fingertips tightly grasped the brocade quilt.
Emperor Mingwen laughed in a good mood: "
I have been favored by the imperial concubine for many years and have not been pregnant, so it is good news for me."
"Concubine Lishu's face became even more unnatural.
She was also pregnant, but she went from noble to Shufei, but Xia agreed to become a noble concubine from the end, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Emperor Mingwen keenly noticed the changes in Concubine Lishu and comforted him: "When you give birth to a little prince, I will reward you well."
"Your Majesty, I am a little bigger than the one who Xia promised. I must be the eldest son. The emperor is not allowed to favor one or the other."
Concubine Li Shu pretended to be delicate and pulled Emperor Mingwen's arm to act coquettishly: "Emperor~"
The smile on Emperor Mingwen's face gradually faded, and he was patient: "The Imperial Concubine has been with me for many years..."
"The emperor will also have concubines to accompany him in the future, let alone Xia made a mistake before agreeing."
Concubine Li Shu refused to give in and covered her lower abdomen with one hand, pretending to be in pain.
Emperor Mingwen glanced at Concubine Lishu, his eyes were cold: "Concubine Lishu, you are beyond the rules!"
The former Concubine Li was well-behaved and sensible. In just one month, she became arrogant because of her childbirth. She had no one in her eyes, which became more and more annoying.
Concubine Li Shu was shocked and immediately apologized with tactfulness: "Your Majesty, I know my mistake."
Seeing that she apologized, Emperor Mingwen improved his expression, comforted him for a few words and left.
"Come here, go and bring Chu Yunning to this palace!"
"Empress, the Imperial Doctor asked you to have a fetus. You must not get angry." The little palace maid advised.
"Just say there is something wrong with my abdomen, let her take a look."
Concubine Lishu has been used to being held by others this month, and was scolded suddenly. Her heart was already distorted and she couldn't wait to vent.
"yes!"
Emperor Mingwen saw Xia, covered in wounds, agreed and asked with a stern face: "What's going on?"
"When I go back to the emperor, it was because I was not serious at the moment. I accidentally pushed Xia's promise, which caused Xia's promise to fall. It was not related to the Queen's business. I would like to punish the emperor."
Chunyu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Mingwen to admit his mistake.
Emperor Mingwen frowned.
"Xia promised to be irritable and repeatedly contradicted the queen, and I also did things according to the palace rules."
Chunyu continued to argue, but Emperor Mingwen became more and more angry the more he listened. He raised his foot and kicked Chunyu hard in the heart.
Chunyu was kicked away and vomited a large mouthful of blood.
"The emperor clearly understands that I am not good at discipline. This girl is not a good person. Fortunately, the child is fine."
Queen Gong knelt on the ground and had to sacrifice spring rain in order to save herself.
"Emperor, it was the Queen who personally ordered Chunyu to beat someone. I stopped her again and again. Xia promised that she still had a fetal aura and almost had a miscarriage."
It is a fool who does not avenge his grudges, but she is not a saint, and her love is full of love.
Queen Gong has repeatedly plotted against her, but now she has hit the gun, so she doesn't mind helping the queen.
"Chu Yunning!" Queen Gong glared, wishing to tear Chu Yunning's mouth apart.
"It's right for the queen to discipline the concubines in the Six Palaces, but Xia promised that she did not make any mistakes this time, but was stepped on by Chunyu and had countless scars on her body. If the queen had not been instructed, how dare Chunyu, a servant, attack her master?"
No matter how bad it is, I promised to be the master, Chunyu is just a palace maid.
Chu Yunning continued to add fuel to the fire: "The Empress leads the harem, and there are problems several times. Concubine Lishu almost miscarried after eating the wrong thing. Xia agreed to get angry. I don't know if other concubines have been persecuted in previous years."
"Chu Yunning, what are you talking nonsense? You dare to slander me!"
Queen Gong was furious and almost jumped up to hit her.
Chu Yunning asked back: "Does the Empress dare to swear with the lives of the whole clan? Didn't you instigate Chunyu to severely punish Xia to agree today?"
"You!" Queen Gong was so angry that she fainted in front of her eyes. The two concubines were pregnant enough that she was worried.
Another ungrateful Chu Yunning came.
Empress Gong touched Emperor Mingwen's gloomy face and immediately said: "Emperor, Chu Yunning is slandering me."
"Xia promised that there were still many needle holes and pinch marks on her body. This was not caused by a push and falling down, right? How should the Queen explain it?"
If you want to add a crime, there is no reason to worry about it. Chu Yunning also wants the Empress of the Palace to taste the unexplainable taste!
Queen Gong knelt on the ground and rushed towards Emperor Mingwen in a hurry: "Emperor, I am managing the harem, so how can I see the people below one by one? Xia offended many people when she agreed to be a concubine. Maybe these people took action!"
Chu Yunning sighed that Queen Gong had a little brain, and agreed so quickly and shirked the responsibility completely.
"The Empress is so powerful that there are people who bully the out-of-favorite concubines under their noses..."
"Chu Yunning, shut up!"
Queen Gong saw Emperor Mingwen's face darkened again, so she was so angry that she would pick up any pot without opening.
Chu Yunning ignored the queen's expression of wanting to eat people and continued, "It's because the Queen is too kind and can't control the people below. Chunyu hits people under the Queen's nose, and he beats the concubine once. Isn't this not taking the emperor seriously?"
"Enough!" Queen Gong scolded loudly, and said with a ugly face: "I..."
The palace had not said anything for a long time, so I could only look at Emperor Mingwen in disappointment and cry: "Your Majesty, I am confused for a moment and almost hurt the little prince. I am willing to punish myself for copying scriptures a hundred times to pray for blessings."
Emperor Mingwen frowned impatiently and said, "Get up first, what does the mother of a country cry like?"
In the frustrated anger that Concubine Lishu was suffering, Emperor Mingwen scattered it on the Queen of Palace: "Come on, take the spring rain down and kill it!"
"Empress save me!" Chunyu was shocked and was blocked before she could beg for mercy and dragged her mouth down.
Queen Gong's face changed a little blue and white.
"This time thanks to Princess Xiao's discovery in time, otherwise the royal family almost lost another royal heir."
The Empress Dowager suddenly said something as if she had just woken up, and looked at the Empress Palace meaningfully: "If this imperial heir can be saved, the Ai family will not blame each other for the past. If it cannot be saved, the position of the Central Palace should be replaced."
The Empress Gong looked pale: "Empress Dowager!"
The Empress Dowager was too lazy to listen to the Empress of the Palace again, and she looked solemn and said nothing.
"From now on, the empress will take care of the fetus of Concubine Xia, and there must be no mistakes!" Emperor Mingwen ordered.
Queen Gong was surprised: "Is the emperor going to restore the position of Xia's promise?"
Isn’t it intentionally disgusting myself if I ask her to take care of Concubine Xia?
"The concubine Xia suffered so many grievances and became pregnant with the emperor's heir, so it was appropriate to restore her position." said the Empress Dowager.
Seeing that things were final, Queen Gong had to grit her teeth and remained silent. She looked at Chu Yunning's eyes again, and the tone came up in her heart.
"It would be great if Sister Xia Guifei could speak. Princess Xiao was skilled in medical skills. Can she cure the mute disease?"
So Emperor Mingwen and Empress Dowager both looked at Chu Yunning.
"Is it a medicine that has three parts poisonous? The concubine Xia still focuses on maintaining her fetus. I have no clue about the mute disease for the time being, so I will go back to study it."
Chu Yunning didn't like the Empress of the Palace, and might not have a good impression of Concubine Xia.
There was no difference between the two, so she didn't plan to treat the voice of Concubine Xia.
Who knows if Concubine Xia is going to bite back?
"Chu Yunning, it's just a silence to you. You shouldn't be resentful of Concubine Xia's mocking you at the banquet?"
Queen Gong squinted her eyes and deliberately provoked trouble.
