Lan Qi put her hand on her lower abdomen intentionally or unintentionally. She didn't know whether she would have a child yet, but they already had good news. There were so many women in the palace giving birth to children for Xuan Ye, and she couldn't bear the jealousy, but she heard it again
Talking about Xing'er being pregnant, I don't know why, I feel uncomfortable. In addition, just now Huan Chun talked about the emperor's plan to let her stay with him, although Huan Chun thought it was nothing, and he didn't even mention it in such a long time.
But Lan Qi's temperament means that such things will still block her heart.
Half a day later, the news came that Zhang promised to be pregnant. After all, she was young, and the emperor had favored her frequently in March, so she became pregnant. The thirteenth brother, who was only born on the first day of October last year, was born again in less than half a year.
She was pregnant. The interval between Lan Qi's fourth elder brother and her sixth elder brother was not long. No wonder everyone said that Zhang Yao's experience was similar to her own. No wonder even Xuan Ye thought so.
Seeing their master's lackluster expression, everyone retreated out. Luzhu and the others were originally worried about Xing'er running away from their master to the emperor, because their master was willing to let her go and treat her well, so they respected Zhang in front of others.
After a few promises, now that small promise was finally restless, and I couldn't help but feel disgusted with this person again.
Even Xiangyue complained to Huanchun: "I heard that she was arrogant. She told people that the emperor liked her and that if she could be promoted to the concubine position in the future, she would be able to raise her children by herself. She might even take the thirteenth brother back.
She wants it, she wants it, we are not surprised."
Several people agreed with Xiangyue's words. Huan Chun felt very irritated and scolded them with a cold face: "You are all a bit old, and you will not be willing to leave the palace. Since you want to follow the master, you should do your job well and don't yell at me if you gossip.
If I hear it again, no matter how shameless you are, I will still punish you in front of the little maid and eunuch."
Luzhu was brave, so he retorted: "What are you doing to make your sister angry with us? You'd better think about it and don't ask that noble agree to make our master angry."
Everyone was afraid that Huanchun would be really angry, so they quickly pulled Luzhu away. Huanchun was bored for a long time. One of the maids said that the empress was looking for someone, so Huanchun came back. Lan Qi smiled and said: "I heard that they are provoking you again.
You haven’t changed your temper yet. It’s time to be gentler. The new maids and eunuchs here are also afraid of you.”
After a few jokes, he asked Huanchun to prepare a gift for Xing'er. Huanchun said that he was worried that Luzhu and the others would talk carelessly, so he decided to send it in person. Lan Qi had no objection and asked her to do it decently. After all, she was not happy in her heart.
Being comfortable cannot change reality.
Huan Chun went to Zhang Yao's place at dusk. When he entered, he saw Zhang Yao coming out of the house and talking to the people around him with a smile on his face. Huan Chun recognized that the palace maid was Xiang He who lived in the house of noble Jue Chan. If Xiang He was the substitute
It was not surprising that noble Jue Chan came to give gifts, but when Zhang Zhengyi first saw Huan Chun at the door, he suddenly became very embarrassed. He and Xiang He were very close to each other before, but suddenly they separated a little, and their attempt to cover up the situation left a mark in Huan Chun's heart.
impression.
After exchanging gifts and greetings, they left with a few polite words. Huanchun returned to Ruijingxuan, told his master what he saw, and said suspiciously: "A few days ago in the garden, it was clearly said that Zhang promised to go to Jue Chan to fight for his favor, and there was a quarrel in front of him.
But the way Zhang agreed to talk to Xianghe just now, the servant seemed to be sincerely polite, not to mention why he was so nervous when he saw the servant coming?"
Lan Qi knew that Huan Chun was very steady, and she wouldn't make a fuss unless something was really weird. It seemed like there must be something going on between Xing'er and Lord Jue Chan.
Huan Chun mentioned, "Do you still remember, Your Majesty? Last time, noble Jue Chan asked your servant to convey to you that it doesn't matter if I do anything for you."
Lan Qi's face was tense, but she was afraid that she would be hurt by her excessive emotions. She tried to calm down and asked herself puzzledly: "What are they making trouble and what are they going to do?"
At this time, someone announced in front of the door that Eunuch Liang wanted to see him. Lan Qi didn't have time to tidy up her clothes, so she let the gauze tent be set up and met Eunuch Liang through the tent. Eunuch Liang came to tell her that he had brought all the maids and eunuchs in Changchun Garden together.
The background of the guards has been checked.
According to the instructions of Empress Dowager De, there are indeed several palace maids and eunuchs who are related to the Mingzhu Mansion. At present, those palace maids are guarding uninhabited areas, which are far away from Ruijingxuan and are not allowed to move around casually. Maybe they are not allowed to move around.
Hiccup. There are two eunuchs. One is responsible for pruning flowers and plants, and the other is doing shopping. He often goes in and out of the garden. If we follow the investigation, there may be some results.
Lan Qi ordered: "Find an opportunity to identify the child. Although she says she can't remember it, she might remember it when she sees it again. If she really recognizes who it is, send the palace maid to a safe place for protection.
After this incident is over, I will give her some silver and let her go home."
Eunuch Liang finally brought some good news, and Lan Qi felt somewhat confident. It looked like she would not be able to escape those people in the palace this time, but with such a cheap and stupid trick, how could Concubine Hui think that it would not hurt her at all?
.Even if Wen Xianyi didn't make a fuss that day, Huanchun had to go through several hand tests before taking the medicine. How could the poison be allowed to enter her body? If it was really Concubine Hui's doing, she wouldn't be so stupid. Lan Qi wanted to see Concubine Hui
What exactly is she planning? If it wasn't her evil deeds, the real culprit would naturally have to be found.
Before Eunuch Liang left, Lan Qi suddenly asked: "Are you going to report these things to the Emperor as well?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Emperor will not ask about this matter. When the Emperor ordered the servants, he said, unless you go to the Emperor yourself to tell the story, otherwise let the servants keep their mouths shut and just follow you." Eunuch Liang quickly replied, "Join and several
The master doesn't ask questions, and sometimes the slave wants to ask for help, but is scolded and said that a slave cannot serve two masters."
Lan Qi was actually a little happy. She laughed at him and said, "I am so blind and serious, but the emperor is still my master."
After Eunuch Liang left, Huanchun saw that her master was in a better mood and was happy for her. She mentioned the previous events and advised her master not to think too hard. She didn't care about it anymore. Why should the master be so brooding? The emperor's whole heart was for the good of his beloved.
That's all.
After being persuaded by Huan Chun several times and seeing that she sincerely wanted to stay with him, Lan Qi also felt that it was pointless to argue with Xuan Ye now. What else could Xuan Ye do by doing this, other than to make himself happy?
But here, Concubine De was considerate and found a way out for herself, letting go of her depressed mood and taking care of her health. Over there, Zhang Wenxiong, who was pregnant, was very restless. There were some messy things happening every day. That day, she even said that it was because of the people around her.
There were not enough people to serve her, so she had to ask the palace maid Wan Chang, who lived with her, to do things. The two sisters, who were originally good friends, had an unpleasant quarrel. The garden used to be quiet and quiet, but these days it was just as Zhang promised.
Although the Ningchun Hall, like the Cining Palace, does not allow outside matters to be spread to the Empress Dowager, it cannot prevent people from talking too much. The Empress Dowager is still aware of these troublesome things. That day, she heard that the eldest brother was in the house.
The Empress Dowager was annoyed that the person he was marrying would do such a thing to hurt Fujin's heart. She felt unhappy and disliked Lan Qi when she saw her, so she said to her: "I will tell you if Zhang agrees."
You can't keep her, but you are too fond of me. I came to the garden for some peace and quiet, and you still bother me with these things. If she hadn't been pregnant with a child, I wouldn't have tolerated her. Drive her back to the Forbidden City as soon as possible, so as not to be embarrassed here.
Now, is it a big deal to have a child?"
Lan Qi would not feel aggrieved by being reprimanded by the Empress Dowager, but she was still unhappy to be reprimanded for such a thing. She had long been fed up with Xing'er's uncharacteristic behavior, and she still missed her a lot in her heart.
In terms of Yinxiang's face, what is the situation now?
She discussed with Huan Chun and felt that this matter must have something to do with Jue Chan, but if Jue Chan refused to reveal it, no one would be able to find out her thoughts, but Xing'er was not necessarily difficult to deal with.
That day, the Empress Dowager's decree came down, saying that Zhang should promise to return to the palace to have the baby. The next day, Zhang would leave if he agreed. Lan Qi was heartbroken and ordered Huan Chun to prepare a bowl of medicine and bring someone there that night.
Wan Chang came to greet her when she entered. The nice person's face was full of resentment. She must not have figured out why it became like this. Lan Qi didn't say much to her and went straight into Xing'er's room. First she heard that Tai
When the Empress Dowager asked Zhang to promise to return to the palace for abortion, she immediately complained that she felt uncomfortable and could not move around. It was normal for her to come to someone else's house to lie on the couch to recuperate.
Huan Chun excused himself from Xiao Yu, leaving his master and Zhang to talk alone. The person on the couch looked embarrassed, and his eyes flickered, and he could only see the uneasiness. Lan Qi opened the food box, revealing a bowl of dark soup, and picked it up carefully.
When he arrived in front of Zhang Yaosheng, he said to her: "This is a tonic to prevent miscarriage. Drink it."
Zhang promised to be stunned, and quickly took it with both hands. She pursed her lips as if she was hesitating. The strong smell of the medicine also made her frown, but she still made up her mind and started to drink the medicine bowl.
"What if it's an abortion pill? Do you want to drink it too?" Lan Qi suddenly said as she watched Xing'er bring the bowl to her mouth. Xing'er suddenly panicked and spilled some of the medicine from her hand and fell on the quilt.
The lacquer concoction spread ferociously along the pattern on the quilt, and she looked at Lan Qi uneasily without blinking.
"You once said that you would never betray me and would do anything for me to repay me, right?" Lan Qi looked at her with a smile, but the calm and powerful aura in her smile made Zhang's promise seem even smaller.
, she held the medicine bowl and shrank back without saying a word.
"In this case, I don't want you to have another child, and if I ask you to drink this bowl of abortion pills, you will definitely not refuse." Lan Qi came closer to her, scaring Xing'er to step back, but she ruthlessly repeated, "Drink.
Bar."
Tears burst into her eyes, and the hand holding the medicine bowl couldn't help trembling. Lan Qi said that if she continued to tremble, the whole bowl of medicine would spill, but she didn't have to worry about the preparations ahead. Anyway, she had to drink it tonight, and she would abort the baby tomorrow.
There is no need to go back to the Forbidden City.
"You don't want to do this little thing? Don't you want to repay your kindness to me?" Lan Qi saw the pitiful despair in the eyes of the person in front of her, but still forced her ruthlessly.
"I am willing." The panic-stricken person finally uttered four words. After sniffing, he held up the medicine bowl and brought it to his mouth. Lan Qi's heart tightened, seeing that she was about to put it in her mouth.
After drinking it, he reached out suddenly and opened the medicine bowl. The porcelain shattered on the ground, and the loud and harsh sound shocked everyone outside.
Xing'er watched all this in shock. The intimidating look on Lady De Fei's face turned into anger slowly, and she asked her seriously: "Tell me, what are you thinking about?"
