"Thank you very much for your kindness, Concubine Lan. Weichen has already had dinner. But Weichen specially ordered people to go to the edge town to buy the famous local hawthorn. Qiu Divine Doctor likes to eat it, so he asked Weichen to bring it specially. But he kept looking for it.
When no one was there, I came to the Empress's Moyang Palace." Mo Chubai was still holding a fruit basket in his hand, but he looked at Qiu Siyu with some embarrassment.
Concubine Lan knew that pregnant women like to eat sour food, and hawthorn happened to be her favorite fruit in the past. Concubine Lan, who was a bit greedy, immediately walked to Mo Chubai's side and looked at the hawthorn in the fruit basket.
Said: "These hawthorns are very fresh. I wonder if Prime Minister Mo can also get some for me to taste?"
But Qiu Siyu quickly took over the words: "Since Concubine Lan likes this taste, then I will leave these hawthorns to my concubine and treat it as her entertainment these days, okay?"
"But Divine Doctor Qiu also likes to eat, why don't we share the same taste in the Moyang Palace?" Concubine Lan felt a little embarrassed when she saw Qiu Siyu being so generous. This was obviously a behavior that was trying to win over others!
"It doesn't matter, it's my honor that the empress likes to eat. I'll leave these hawthorns for the empress to taste. If she wants to eat them, I can just send someone back to the house to get them. The empress doesn't have to worry." Mo Chubai put the fruit basket away.
He walked to the table and said calmly.
"So I accept it. Thank you Doctor Qiu for cutting me off. As you know, pregnant people tend to eat sour foods." After saying this, Concubine Lan put her lotus fingers into the fruit basket and pinched it.
Take a closer look at a hawthorn, then put it in your mouth and chew it slowly.
"That's natural. Let's take our leave first and not disturb the queen's rest." Qiu Siyu and Mo Chubai bowed slightly and said hello, then turned and left Moyang Palace.
The two of them quickly arrived at Qiu Siyu's bedroom and closed the doors and windows. They tried to keep their voices down, just in case the walls had ears. "There is indeed something fishy going on."
"It doesn't look like Concubine Lan is really pregnant!" Qiu Siyu hit the nail on the head, telling the key point of the matter, and then she frowned. Things became a little complicated.
"Are you sure? You can't joke about this, otherwise Huangfu Jin will kill us in anger!" Mo Chubai felt a hint of uneasiness in his heart. What's important is that he didn't understand why he was uneasy.
"I'm not sure, but I have some doubts. These days, I deliberately spend my energy to pester her to play chess. Every day, I am extremely tired, but I don't feel any signs of fatigue on her part. This is one of the reasons."
Qiu Siyu gently caressed her belly, which calmed her emotions inexplicably, and then continued calmly but with a hint of depth: "Secondly, although pregnant people like to eat sour foods, hawthorn is something that pregnant women should avoid.
Articles. Once consumed in excess, it will lead to miscarriage and the child will be aborted..."
"Then why did you leave so many hawthorns for her to eat just now? If our judgment is wrong, then we will be equivalent to killing the prince, which is a capital crime!" Mo Chubai really didn't understand Qiu Siyu's intention at this time.
, although they are testing, it does not mean that they can take risks.
"Did you know that when a qualified doctor diagnoses a patient's pregnancy, he will usually tell the pregnant person that he has eaten the most harmful food - hawthorn, which is easiest to ignore. But Lan Fei did not
Knowing, it means no doctor has warned her about this problem!" Qiu Siyu's eyes were slightly closed, and her dark eyes became deeper and deeper. Mo Chubai understood that this was a precursor to her anger.
"Don't be angry, it's not good for the child. Siyu, maybe we should think more deeply. Since the imperial doctor didn't tell her, but when the diagnosis was made, the imperial doctor insisted that she was pregnant. What's going on?"
Mo Chubai hurriedly calmed her down, not daring to make her angry.
"Either she used some medicine, which temporarily deceived the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctors, or she used money and power to bribe the imperial doctors to conceal it for her. It is possible." Qiu Siyu was no longer angry and walked aside to commit suicide.
Let's make tea together and calm down.
"Leave this matter to me to investigate, and tomorrow will be up to you." Mo Chubai knew that after she calmed down, he looked out the window at the late morning sky, and went back to his Ruoshui Palace with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Siyu's sudden words made him almost throw himself out the door: "Hua Yan's body is just right, but it can't withstand your torture. You need to be gentler to her tonight, you know?"
It was as if she could feel Mo Chubai's embarrassment at this moment even without going out. Qiu Siyu's laughter came from the hall, which made Mo Chubai really angry. But he couldn't vent his anger on him, so he had to wave his sleeves.
, go back to the palace.
The next day, Qiu Siyu got up early and headed towards Moyang Palace. Because her husband, Xia Jianran, was not around when he went out to do errands. Otherwise, she would have been banned from the palace long ago if she had the chance to go through such trouble.
The two pregnant women had become much closer during these days together. Taking advantage of the early morning sun when the sun was not too strong, the two of them took a group of maids and went to visit the Imperial Garden together.
"The scenery of the Imperial Garden is indeed more beautiful than any garden outside the palace." Concubine Lan glanced sideways at the bright red peony blooming at her feet. Her maid Xi'er immediately picked off the red peony and handed it to her.
into the hands of Concubine Lan.
"Flowers match beauty, this is an eternal truth. This peony blooms so beautifully, just like Empress Lan Fei is so noble and charming." Qiu Siyu said the words, and she even admired her ability to flatter.
Her words indeed made Concubine Lan laugh, but then she showed a hint of disappointment and said lightly: "It's a pity that no matter how beautiful a flower is, no one appreciates it, it's just a flower. What's more, the flowering period is very short and will wither soon."
Let's go..." After thinking again and again, Concubine Lan still threw the bright red peony in her hand into the flowers and walked forward.
Qiu Siyu thought that the time was ripe. At this moment, a small stone appeared in her hand. With a little luck, Qiu Siyu concentrated her strength and flicked the stone towards Concubine Lan's feet.
Lan Fei slipped and stumbled towards the road. Qiu Siyu immediately took a step faster, carefully protecting her abdomen, but she reached out to grab her wrist in time and gave her a hand.
Let her fall.
When Concubine Lan stood firmly on the ground, she was still in shock. The maids who were a little far behind her immediately gathered around nervously, asking for help, fearing that something bad might happen to Concubine Lan and they would all be buried with her.
But Qiu Siyu just held her wrist and could clearly detect Concubine Lan's pulse. But there was no pulse of joy at all. Concubine Lan was indeed pretending to be pregnant!
Thinking of this, Qiu Siyu's heart was filled with a strange emotion, which seemed worried and joyful. However, she concealed it very well, only showing a worried look, and ordered the palace servants to help Concubine Lan back to the palace. She threatened:
"Empress Lan Fei is frightened. She needs to go back and take a good rest to recover from the shock. Otherwise, it will be harmful to the fetus! Empress, you should have a good rest and I won't disturb you. I will visit you again tomorrow."
Concubine Lan was really frightened, she just nodded blankly and let the palace servants help her back to Moyang Palace. However, Qiu Siyu showed an unfathomable smile on her lips and turned around to face Shengde.
He walked towards the palace and said coldly: "Fei Lan, it's time for your conspiracy to come to light!"
