She seemed to be in disbelief and her eyes widened.
"What did you say?"
Ling Yutong's heart skipped a beat. Madam, she... doesn't know?
She suddenly realized that the last time she checked her pulse, the medicine was at its strongest effect. From the chaotic pulse, she could only vaguely feel that there seemed to be a slippery pulse, but she was not sure.
Moreover, looking at the expression on the Queen's face, it seems that she has everything planned in mind, so she just...
Unexpectedly, the empress did not know whether she was pregnant?
Ling Yutong immediately whispered everything she knew. At the end, she added: "This medicine does not benefit your body. I just checked your pulse. If you remove the medicine quickly, it will not cause bitter consequences."
of."
As soon as she finished speaking, the expression on the Queen's face suddenly became anxious.
"Quickly, remove the effect of that medicine now. It will never affect my children!"
Ling Yutong nodded immediately.
From the moment she guessed that the empress might not know, she had already silently reviewed in her mind what she would need to use to remove the medicine. At that moment, she was not in a hurry at all and ordered the palace maid to prepare things neatly.
Aunt Gui is also a strong executive, and she went to make arrangements at a trot.
The Queen lowered her eyes.
She closed her eyes and asked in a low voice: "No matter what, you must keep my child, do you hear me?"
While Ling Yutong was busy preparing the medicine, he comforted: "Don't worry, it was discovered early and the child will be fine."
The things she needed were already placed in her hand. She turned around and said, "Everyone who doesn't have anything to do with it is out. It's time to give the acupuncture."
The footsteps went out in an orderly manner, and Grandma Gui closed the door.
"Be patient, it will hurt this time."
The queen bit her lip, her eyes firm.
"bring it on."
She tensed her mind, waiting for Ling Yutong's movements.
After all the hard work, Ling Yutong's forehead was covered in sweat, but his hands were extremely steady.
She breathed out softly and looked at the queen's face that was also sweating.
"It's okay. I'll drink some soothing decoction later to soothe my tired nerves, and then I'll be fine when I get some sleep."
The queen's shoulders suddenly slumped.
She was silent for a while, then a sweet smile suddenly appeared on her lips, and she couldn't help but touch her belly.
"child?"
"Me and his child?"
As she said this, she couldn't help but laugh again, and the happiness in the corners of her eyes and brows was not concealed.
Ling Yutong wiped his sweat casually and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Madam. Although the child is still young now, it will be almost a month old. The Holy Father will definitely be happy when he knows about it."
The queen's expression was subtle.
Aunt Gui's eyelids also jumped and she immediately looked at the Queen.
But soon, the smile on the Queen's face became natural.
With a slight smile in her voice, she said: "Yes, the Holy One will definitely be happy if he knows about it."
This tone and their subtle attitudes just now made Ling Yutong couldn't help but frown.
Um?
Something doesn't seem right, but I can't pinpoint where it is.
At this time, the Queen Mother whispered: "Since the medicine that confuses the pulse cannot be used, do you have any other methods?"
Her eyes darkened: "Your Majesty has been unhappy recently, and he doesn't even want to stay in Concubine Xian's palace. The second prince, that idiot, can't even please his mother and concubine, and can't even get a lotus lantern.
And it happened to be in front of the Holy One."
"So, today I would like to inform you that Your Majesty is coming to this palace."
"Oh, I am not in the mood to serve him."
Ling Yutong's eyelids twitched, what is the empress's attitude towards the Holy Emperor?
But just now, after the empress learned that she was pregnant, she was really happy.
"Is there any way to avoid him?"
At this moment, the queen asked, with a serious look in her eyes, and a hint of disgust.
"Since you are on the same side as me, there is no need to hide some things from you. This is my attitude toward the Holy One in private. What you have to do..."
Ling Yutong's heart flashed, this...
The contrast between before and after was so stark that her thoughts couldn't help but slip into the abyss.
Is it possible...
She looked at the queen seriously, so that the look in her eyes would be exposed in the other's eyes.
"Don't worry, my Majesty, I know what to do."
"If you don't want to see the Holy One even once, maybe I have a way."
"Why do you have to refuse? You just need to act like you are very welcoming to the Holy One, and do it right. You are a person with a delicate mood, and you can take the initiative to attract His Majesty's attention."
"Today is not the first day of the lunar month or the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Your Majesty should not have come. He will feel guilty for you because he said he would but did not come."
The Queen narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"It's feasible, Aunt Gui, just go ahead and do it now."
She put her hand softly on her belly, and that warm and beautiful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth again.
But in Ling Yutong's eyes, the abyss in her heart became even more...
At the same time, outside the palace, the school grounds.
Qi Yan swung the whip hard, and a sharp sound sounded in the air.
Under the scorching sun, everyone around him was covered in sweat.
Glitter beads of sweat slid down the high bridge of her nose, spread between her sexy collarbones, continued downward, and disappeared into the shadow of her clothes.
Qi Yan lowered his eyes and panted slightly.
Lai Che stepped forward and handed over the towel, but Qi Yan just took it without making any move.
It was obviously under the scorching sun and he was covered in hot sweat, but there was a sharp and cold aura exuding around him, which made Lai Che couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Qi Yan's eyes were deep and he asked in a deep voice: "What's going on in the city recently?"
Lai Che thought about it for a moment and replied in a low voice: "This...General Lu Qinglie has left the city. He is still injured, but he refuses to listen to anyone's advice. He only says that he has something to do."
"One more thing is...Miss Ling has been very close to Mrs. Zhao recently."
"Mrs. Zhao now shows off when meeting people. Her son has passed the scholar examination and will enter Beijing soon..."
Qi Yan pursed his lips slightly.
"There is no need to send anyone to Lu Qinglie's side."
"Yutong has her own arrangements. If she needs my cooperation, she can tell me at any time."
Lai Che shrank his neck, Miss Ling had to think about it and look for it.
Ever since he made the choice to follow Song Yue to join the new owner, now at least openly, he is Qi Yan's confidant.
But he hadn't seen Miss Ling and Song Yue for a while.
He didn't respond for a long time. Qi Yan turned his eyes and his voice became deeper.
"What, do you have any objection?"
Lai Che was horrified: "I don't dare! I don't dare!"
He quickly lowered his head, trying to divert Qi Yan's attention with new news.
"Well, recently, because I often follow you around, the Holy Emperor has issued a new order. The situation in the palace has also changed. It seems that the Holy Emperor has some criticisms of the second prince, and even Concubine Xian has been affected..."
"This would never happen normally, maybe..."
"I would venture to guess that perhaps the prejudice in His Majesty's heart has deepened. You must be careful."
