Empress Cao was still waiting. On the other hand, Miao was pregnant after repeated confirmations from the imperial doctor. This made Zhao Zhen, who had been depressed for a long time, feel happy. He looked at the imperial doctor and said coldly: "This matter cannot be spread.
Keep it to the outside world, otherwise it will be considered as a crime of deceiving the emperor!"
The imperial doctor of the Hanlin Academy trembled slightly, and then whispered: "Guan family, this is a major matter of the country, should it be reported to the two governments?"
"No need!"
Zhao Zhen decisively rejected the imperial doctor's proposal, and added by the way: "Since Miaocai is pregnant, Hanlin Medical Clinic must serve around him, and we must not slack off. We will consult him in three days and report to him in five days. If there is any delay, I will punish him."
!”
The imperial doctor nodded repeatedly: "I obey the order! Don't dare to slack off!"
He knew better than anyone that Miao's pregnancy was a big deal, especially for officials, as it would prove that she was in good health and that she was just unlucky before.
Looking at the Miao family in front of him, Zhao Zhen cherished it very much and said: "Since my beloved concubine is pregnant, don't worry about the affairs in the hospital. I will send the most reliable palace servants in the palace to serve you. If there is anything wrong, I will send someone to deal with it."
Chen Tong said, don't ever move your fetus."
Miao had never received such attention from the officials since she entered the palace. She was at a loss for a moment. She stood up and was about to salute Zhao Zhen, but he stopped him and said: "I need to rest for a long time, I don't care about small details! Can you still return it?"
Want something?"
Miao whispered: "I miss my mother, and I would like to ask the officials to allow my mother to enter the palace..."
"Haha, it's natural. Mrs. Chengxian of the country of Ji is my wet nurse. I haven't seen her for a long time and I miss her. So I invited someone here so that I can have relatives to take care of me. But there is one thing that needs to be explained. Mrs. Chengxian is not allowed to leave if she enters the palace.
, I will not be allowed to leave the palace until you give birth to an heir."
Miao naturally agreed to the official's request, and Zhao Zhen was also satisfied with Miao's docility. He nodded and said: "This will make it easy for my beloved concubine to rest and rest. I will come and talk to you when I have time!"
Women in the palace can get such the best treatment from the official family. The person who can stay with the official family for the longest time is the queen. Miao felt proud for a while, and her complexion also improved a lot.
In the Yanhe Hall, Chen Tong was waiting carefully by the side, serving tea and water. He didn't know why the official family hadn't come over for so long. A young servant came in a hurry and whispered in Chen Tong's ear: "Master Chen,
Miao is pregnant with the Tian family's heir, and the official family has been to Changpingyuan to visit her, but it will take a while before she can come over."
Chen Tong's hand holding the tea trembled slightly, then he calmed down and said in a normal voice: "I know, you go and report to the official. If I know this, I will be able to serve you."
After saying that, she turned to Empress Cao and said, "I'd like to express my gratitude to you, the officials won't be here for a while. I've sent someone to send a message to ask you to wait a moment."
Cao Wan frowned slightly and said, "But is there something going on in the court?"
Chen Tong waved his hands repeatedly: "It's not because of something happening in the court, but heavy rain and hail suddenly fell in Nailin, Fuzhou and Shaanxi Road, and the people were affected!"
Cao Wan nodded and said: "That's it. It's natural for officials to put state affairs first, and it's also appropriate for me to wait. Don't send anyone to rush you, it's disrespectful!"
Chen Tong smiled and said: "What the empress said is absolutely true. The officials will be happy to know that you are so decent!"
"You are sweet-mouthed. You are the most trusted by the officials in this palace, and you can always make every decision." Cao Wan covered her mouth and smiled, but with her intelligence, she could guess that things would not be that simple, but since Chen Tong
If you don’t tell me, it must have been explained by the officials. I just pretended not to know about it. How could I hide the affairs of the harem from myself?
After waiting for a long time, Zhao Zhen arrived late, but Cao Wan was not angry at all. He still carefully prepared the soup and fruits. Looking at the soup in front of him, Zhao Zhen no longer resisted as before, but drank it all in one gulp. Perhaps
Maybe this decoction worked.
As the queen, Cao Wan wiped Zhao Zhen's mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Guan, although this soup is bitter, it is beneficial to the dragon's body. Eat some fruit!"
The fruit of honey cheese was put into his mouth. Zhao Zhen looked at the gentle Cao Wan in front of him and was moved. He held her hand and said: "The queen is considerate and considerate. With the appearance of the mother of the country, the harem is also safe."
Cao Wan lowered her eyelids slightly and whispered: "I am incompetent. I have not been able to give birth to an heir since entering the palace. I am not filial to my ancestors..."
Zhao Zhen took her hand and frowned slightly: "But someone is gossiping in the palace? You are just too gentle. The queen should also raise her dignity. Don't let others think that you are easy to bully! The queen herself
You should take charge of the affairs of the harem, and whoever dares to act arrogant will be punished according to the laws of the palace. Go to Empress Dowager Yang more and she will teach you."
Faced with Zhao Zhen's protection, Cao Wan felt a warm current running through her heart, and she immediately said: "The officials misunderstood, but I just think so, and the decoction is very tonic..."
"Don't worry about it. At worst, I will just imitate the late emperor..."
Zhao Zhen regretted saying such words. He had suffered this kind of pain himself and did not know the harm of doing so. However, Cao Wan immediately said: "I thank the official! If someone in the palace gives birth to the emperor,
Hey, I will definitely treat you as my own!"
The words spoken by the emperor were more than just water thrown out. Chen Tong beside him couldn't help but lamented, "It's fine in an official's house, but in front of women... eh!"
Zhao Zhen wanted to hide the news of Miao's pregnancy from everyone, and then make it public after giving birth to an heir. In this way, the rumors would be self-defeating and even have unexpected effects.
It's just that it's almost impossible to hide it from everyone, especially Cao Wan, who is the queen. As the lord of the Sixth Palace, she knows everything about the palace's expenses, and she also knows the arrangements of the palace maids and chamberlains.
Soon the Changping courtyard where Miao lived attracted her attention. Why would the imperial doctor often go to a courtyard where talented people lived? If he was feeling unwell, there would be no need to do so frequently, right?
Cao Wan did not send anyone to inquire. Instead, she asked her personal maid to find the chamberlains from the Royal Medicine Courtyard. These old chamberlains were all loyal servants of the Tian family, so they were able to grasp such a key location as the Royal Medicine Courtyard.
"The Royal Pharmacy Hospital has been giving frequent doses of medicine to Miao Cairen's Changping Hospital recently. What kind of medicine is used?"
The old chamberlain whispered: "All the medicines used are ordinary tonic medicines. The Miao family is weak and the officials ordered them to take more tonics. The imperial doctor gave the prescription, and the old slave took people to get the medicine..."
"Tonic medicine? What kind of body can withstand such repeated tonics?!"
Cao Wan is not stupid. Even if it is a tonic, it is impossible to use it so frequently. Otherwise, even if the body is not sick, it will not be able to bear it, not to mention that weak people are already weak and cannot be supplemented.
"I am the Lord of the Sixth Palace, how dare you deceive me about the matters in the palace?!"
Seeing that Cao Wan was angry, the old servant trembled and said: "If you want to report back to the empress, I will take my head off, but I won't dare to say anything! Who dares to disobey the official's will?"
Although he didn't get the result he wanted, the old chamberlain made it clear enough. What matters need to be explained personally by the officials, but they, the chamberlains, don't even dare to say it to themselves, the queen?
It seemed that Miao Cairen was overjoyed, otherwise the officials would not be so cautious. Cao Wan waved her hand to the servant in charge of the imperial medicine hospital to leave. In an instant, she had made up her mind, and then said to the maid beside her: "Go.
Invite Mr. Chen to come over. I have something to say to him."
