Sixue walked into the Changchun Palace with a serious face. Before entering the main hall door, she heard the baby's heartbreaking cry.
Sixue frowned and stepped in. She saw Xu Dairou holding a small wooden horse and a rattle with a flattering look on her face, swinging them around in front of the tenth prince.
Empress Xu leaned on the soft couch and held her forehead, looking impatient.
I am impatient with Xu Dairou, and I am also impatient with the child who keeps crying.
Xu Dairou has been quite favored in the past six months, and she is willing to flatter Empress Xu. Usually when Empress Xu does not see the Holy Emperor, Xu Dairou mentions the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince to the Holy Emperor.
No matter how much Empress Xu dislikes her, she still has to think that this is the daughter of the Xu family, and she can finally say a few words for the two Ninth and Tenth Princes in front of the Holy Lord.
Sixue walked to the tenth prince and said softly to Xu Dairou: "Let the slave come."
Xu Dairou put down the toy in his hand.
Compared to the Ninth Prince, Xu Dairou didn't like the weak Tenth Prince. Every time he saw her, she kept crying and couldn't be coaxed.
Sixue carefully patted the tenth prince and coaxed him in her arms.
Xu Dairou rolled his eyes, leaned next to Queen Xu's ear and said, "I discovered something strange."
Queen Xu glanced at her and said, "What's weird?"
Xu Dai Judo: "The day before yesterday, all the concubines came to pay their respects to you. I passed by Concubine Zhao and smelled a strange smell on her body. It was not an ordinary spice, but more like medicine."
Empress Xu was concerned and said: "The smell of medicine? Why does her good-looking body smell of medicine?"
Empress Xu noticed something was wrong, glanced at the maids in the room, and ordered: "Everyone, get out."
Sixue and everyone retreated.
Xu Dai Judo: "I was also very surprised. I asked Dr. Leng, who came to see me for Ping'an pulse. Dr. Leng mentioned it and said that Dr. Lin, who was responsible for treating Concubine Zhao, had been using sand more recently.
Ren, Atractylodes, perilla root, Eucommia ulmoides, locust, Dipsacus, Cuscuta and other medicinal materials."
Queen Xu quickly sat up straight.
She had been pregnant before and knew that these medicinal herbs had the effect of anti-fetal.
Queen Xu said: "Is this true?"
Xu Dairou seemed startled and said: "I don't know, I just heard Dr. Leng who has been treating me say this."
Queen Xu said: "Mr. Leng? How is he like?"
When it came to Dr. Leng, Xu Dairou felt confident when he spoke, saying: "Doctor Leng is loyal and reliable, and there will never be any problems."
At first, she lied to Dr. Leng and threatened Dr. Leng to do things for her.
But after getting along for nearly a year, Dr. Leng had been carefully helping her take care of her health, and her usual greetings and shyness in answering finally made her let down her guard.
Xu Dairou firmly believes that this is an upright young doctor who has not seen many storms.
Otherwise, how could such an important matter be revealed?
The Xu family also checked the details of Dr. Leng, and found that there was nothing wrong with him coming from Longxi.
After hearing this, Queen Xu suddenly became vigilant.
Gu Yu has already come to the side of the Holy Lord, becoming another close minister after Shao Wuji and Jun Ze.
The only disadvantage of Concubine Zhao was that she had no children, and the sixth prince she adopted was sent to Concubine Jiang.
If Concubine Zhao is really pregnant and is born safely, then the blow to Empress Xu will be huge.
Queen Xu understood that the fifth prince had a violent personality, and his birth had killed Queen Xiaomin to a certain extent. The emperor had always been displeased with the fifth prince.
Even though the fifth prince has changed a lot recently, Empress Xu believes that he can pretend for a while, but not forever.
The sixth prince seems to have a soft character, but in fact he has evil intentions. Sooner or later, she will expose the sixth prince's true face.
This is also the reason why Queen Xu was ignored by the Holy Emperor but was not impatient.
If you want to gain a foothold in the harem, you must first rely on children and secondly, grace.
In terms of children, she has two, and in terms of favor, she has Xu Dairou.
She can sit firmly on the fishing platform.
But if Concubine Zhao is pregnant, she will no longer be able to sit down.
Queen Xu said: "You go back first."
After Xu Dairou left, Empress Xu called Sixue in and said, "Let the people at the Imperial Hospital pay attention and see what medicines Imperial Physician Lin has prescribed to Concubine Zhao Gui recently."
Sixue whispered: "I was about to tell you about this when there was news from the imperial kitchen that Concubine Zhao has been very cautious in her diet recently and will not eat anything cold."
Empress Xu lowered her face and said: "Concubine Zhao is very likely to be pregnant."
Sixue felt like she was facing a formidable enemy and said: "I will go to the Royal Hospital to investigate the situation."
Empress Xu clenched her hands tightly, with a fierce look in her eyes, and said: "We must not let her give birth!"
Sixue knew about Queen Xu's situation and said: "I understand!"
Sixue soon received the exact news from the Royal Hospital. In anger, Empress Xu accidentally broke her long-lasting fingernail, which made her look hideous for a moment.
Sixue said: "It's just that Concubine Zhao is extremely careful now. She holds the power of the harem, and Imperial Physician Lin is the director of the Imperial Hospital. It's too easy for our people to find out what they want to do."
Queen Xu pondered for a while, then threw the broken nail aside and said, "There will always be a way."
After Xu Dairou returned from Changchun Palace, she called Dr. Leng over because she was feeling unwell.
It has to be said that in this harem full of flowers, the only men Xu Dairou could see were eunuchs besides the emperor.
Every time he saw this handsome and gentle Dr. Leng, Xu Dairou's mood inevitably got a little better.
Dr. Leng checked Xu Dairou's pulse as usual and said: "Empress Jieyu is feeling better."
There is no shortage of beauties in the harem, but Xu Dairou's appearance is extremely good, and her laughter-loving temperament can always make the emperor happy.
Secondly, with Queen Xu's help, the Holy Sage's intentions, preferences, and whereabouts can be clearly understood.
Thirdly, she often brought the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince to her palace to attract the Holy Emperor. The Holy Emperor did not want to see Queen Xu, but was willing to see the two children. Xu Dairou's palace perfectly acted as a buffer zone.
Therefore, even if there are many beauties in the harem, Xu Dairou can always get some favor from the saint.
In just one year, Xu Dairou has been promoted to Jieyu and has his own palace, just because the Holy Sage wanted his two younger sons to feel more comfortable in Xu Dairou's place.
Xu Dai Judo: "I have revealed the pregnancy of Concubine Zhao to the Empress. Are you sure that Concubine Zhao is really pregnant?"
Lengliu said: "I quietly read the pulse report of Imperial Physician Lin, and it turns out that I am indeed pregnant."
Xu Dairou looked at the pair of pear dimples appearing on Lengliu's lips when she spoke, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
Xu Dai Judo: "Yi An, Physician Deng, Physician Zhang, and Physician Zhao in the Imperial Hospital are all the Queen's people. You should pay more attention to them."
Lengliu said: "What does the empress mean?"
Xu Dairou stroked her belly, with hatred flashing in her eyes, and said: "If the queen knows about Concubine Zhao's pregnancy, she will definitely take action against Concubine Zhao. The day she takes action will be the time for me to avenge my child.
"
The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind. I hope the queen's aunt will not disappoint her.
