Empress Dowager Liu in the palace hated Murong Feixue so much that she never imagined that she was not dead and was even pregnant.【】
Queen Murong Dailin was naturally panicked. The emperor brought Murong Feixue back to court. Her false pregnancy had been exposed. Now that Murong Feixue was pregnant, her position as queen could no longer be preserved.
In order to keep up with the facts, the Queen Mother has not abolished her position as queen for the time being. She has ceased to exist as a queen in name only.
I was worried and frightened all day long, and my nerves were a little confused. When I learned that Murong Feixue was still in court, I came to the Queen Mother's palace early in the morning, hoping to think of a way to deal with Murong Feixue.
Emperor Ran Qingcheng's chariot has arrived at the gate of the palace, and the military officials and his entourage are coming. Empress Dowager Liu and Empress Murong Dailin naturally want to come to greet him.
When the two got off the carriage, Murong Feixue saw Empress Dowager Liu's sinister eyes from afar, and was so frightened that she hid behind Ran Qingcheng.
Ran Qingcheng also saw the anger flashing in her queen mother's eyes. He pulled Murong Feixue from behind and half-hugged her in his arms in full view of everyone.
Murong Feixue still looked frightened, trembling with fear, even trembling a little because of fear.
"Feixue, don't be afraid. I'm here to protect you, and no one will hurt you again."
When the two came closer, Ran Qingcheng said respectfully: "Mother, my sons and ministers have lived up to everyone's expectations and returned in triumph."
Murong Feixue looked frightened and said in a trembling voice: "My daughter-in-law Feixue pays homage to the stepmother."
Empress Dowager Liu knows a lot about women, and many officials are present. This is a matter of royal dignity, and the family scandal cannot be made public, so it will naturally not be known to outsiders.
"Everyone, get up! I heard that Concubine Shu is pregnant, a double happiness. The Ai family has already held a banquet in the palace."
Of course Murong Feixue knew that this banquet was just for drunkards and not for drinking. It could not be another Hongmen banquet. She must be more careful.
Murong Feixue looked at the gloomy face of the Queen Mother. Although she did not punish her face to face, given the Queen Mother's temperament, she would never let her go easily.
Empress Dowager Liu's spiteful eyes made people's hearts tremble. She must avoid showing her sharpness at this time. The more pitiful she is, the more she will win the emperor's love.
The second queen, Murong Dailin, although she had a serious look on her face, her eyes could not hide her guilty conscience. When her false pregnancy was revealed, she would probably have a hard time.
In order to welcome the emperor's triumphant return, the Queen Mother had already held a banquet in Yanqing Palace. At this banquet, Princess Lian Yang Xiyan also came. She was also pregnant. Prince Lian looked very happy when she came up.
The little princess Ran Bixuan did not attend the banquet this time. The little princess helped Murong Feixue escape from the palace and ruined Empress Dowager Liu's good deeds. This time she was afraid that the little princess would talk nonsense at the banquet and be locked up.
In addition to feasting, the banquet included singing and dancing. For the sake of the royal family and Emperor Ran Qingcheng's face, Empress Dowager Liu did not touch Murong Feixue for the time being.
During the banquet, Queen Mother Liu raised her wine glass and was really happy.
"Today, the emperor has returned triumphantly. God is really protecting me, Ran Wei. I have come to offer you a toast, praying that my country, Ran Wei, will be strong forever, and the country and people will be prosperous."
Ran Qing noticed Murong Feixue's hesitant look with the wine glass in his hand, took the glass and drank it in one gulp, "Feixue, you are pregnant, I will drink this glass of wine on your behalf."
Emperor Ran Qingcheng was also worried that the wine would be poisoned. Even if it was not poison, Murong Feixue would be completely changed after taking the wine with royal jelly.
At this time, she was pregnant and weak, and he would not leave any chance for anyone to hurt Murong Feixue.
Empress Dowager Liu seemed a little displeased. The emperor was openly refuting her face. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Murong Feixue hurriedly acted like she was unhappy in order to comply with the emperor's wishes.
The chain king Ran Qingze, who was sitting at the bottom, did the same thing as the emperor, stretched out his hand to take the wine glass of Qiuchi Princess Yang Xiyan, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Princess, if you are pregnant, your husband will drink this glass of wine on your behalf."
King Lian's move left a step for both of them, and the Queen Mother's expression suddenly changed, and her expression became much softer.
"I, the descendants of Ranwei, are prosperous and your husband and wife are harmonious. The Ai family is also very happy. The Ai family has announced that the imperial doctor Lin Jinghao will come to diagnose the pulse of Concubine Shu and Princess Lian. I heard that the imperial physician Lin can diagnose the disease by just diagnosing the pulse.
It’s amazing whether a man is a woman or not.”
Murong Feixue knew that the Queen Mother had ulterior motives. She was afraid that after the Queen's false pregnancy, she was also speculating whether the child in Murong Feixue's belly was real or fake.
Murong Feixue's heart felt like she was falling into a cold pool, and a chill shot up from the soles of her feet. According to Ke'er, her adoptive father, Lin Jinghao, had profound medical skills, and Ke'er's medical skills were taught to her personally. Of course, the false pregnancy was caused by acupuncture techniques, which were also passed down from generation to generation.
Her adoptive father.
It is said that Dr. Lin is an upright and benevolent person. If he came to diagnose his pulse, he would not tell the truth, which made him feel uneasy.
It happened that Ran Qingcheng also wanted to ask Dr. Lin how to get rid of the root cause of Murong Feixue's illness.
The banquet was finally over, and Queen Mother Liu brought Concubine Shu Murong Feixue and Princess Lian Yang Xiyan to the Queen Mother's palace, accompanied by Ran Qingcheng and Ran Qingze.
Murong Feixue lowered her eyebrows. The Queen Mother knew about the relationship between Lin Ke'er and Murong Feixue, so she did not allow Lin Ke'er to participate.
Murong Feixue carefully looked at the imperial doctor Lin Jinghao who walked in. He was a kind old man in his forties or fifties, with a beard under his jaw, and he was wearing a blue cotton robe.
Feixue knew that her husband Ran Qingxun's leg was cured by this old man.
Lin Jinghao greeted the emperor and the Queen Mother respectfully, and Queen Mother Liu looked at the two daughters-in-law lovingly. He also raised Ran Qingze, and Yang Xiyan could also be said to be her daughter-in-law.
"You're welcome, Dr. Lin Lai. Please check the pulses of the two daughters-in-law of the Ai family. They are pregnant with royal blood."
Yang Xiyan on the side is also a little nervous. If calculated according to the pregnancy period, she is already nearly five months pregnant. King Lian is on the side with an indescribable smile on his face. The two women sitting here are pregnant with each other.
All the children are his. He has checked the palace records and the child in Murong Feixue's belly should be his.
"Yes, I obey the order."
People in ancient times paid attention to the relationship between men and women, so there were female medical officers in the palace. Lin Jinghao took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms.
"I don't know which of the two queens will come first."
Ran Qingcheng didn't know that Murong Feixue had a false pregnancy, and he was always thinking about her body, "Let Concubine Shu come first."
Murong Feixue's body muscles were a little tense due to nervousness. Lin Jinghao naturally came to the conclusion, "My queen, don't be nervous. Please calm down."
Murong Feixue stretched out her arm, and Lin Jinghao covered Murong Feixue's wrist with the brocade handkerchief. He stretched out his index finger and fingers and placed them on Feixue's wrist. He closed his eyes slightly and carefully kissed him.
Diagnose pulse.
Lin Jinghao put his hand on Murong Feixue's pulse. The pulse was mysterious and slippery. At first glance, it was indeed slippery. However, this faint pulse was mixed with a trace of confusion.
Decades of medical experience told him that yin and yang naturally arise in the human body, but the yin and yang in Murong Feixue's body seemed to be deliberately disrupted.
Lin Jinghao had doubts in his heart, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, as if he was in trouble.
In order to make another judgment, "My Lady, please give your other hand to Wei Chen to diagnose your pulse."
Murong Feixue was nervous, but she raised her arm obediently. After Lin Jinghao checked the pulse, he already had a rough guess.
