“没了？”皇太后惊讶道，她一觉醒来却听到了一个这样的消息，还真是惊讶到。

“是的，只是一个小小答应，所以并没有叫醒娘娘！”秋嬷嬷如实说，毕竟皇太后也是上了年纪了，午睡的时间比较长。

“可有查过？”好端端的便没了，她可不相信里面没些猫腻。

"It's an incurable terminal illness. I've examined it thoroughly, and there's nothing wrong with it!"

Granny Qiu shared the same thought as the Empress Dowager, wondering whose scheme it was, and even suspecting Consort Chen. After all, Consort Sun was very similar to Consort Chen, and she was disgusting to her every day. Why not kill her and keep her around for the New Year?

"This is really strange! Could it really be a coincidence?" No matter how much she said, the Empress Dowager still refused to believe it was a coincidence.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Noble Consort was also discussing Consort Sun's matter. She originally wanted to implicate Consort Wen, but Consort Wen had somehow become much more cunning, leaving her with no way to proceed.

"Could it be Consort Chen?" Ningdong boldly guessed.

"I was thinking of her too, but Consort Sun is of low rank. Although she is pregnant, the real one is still alive, so this imposter can't rise to the top!" That's why Consort Chen cherishes her reputation so much, how could she possibly dirty her hands?

"It was Sun who caused the problem, so he can't blame anyone else. He even said that if it were a prince, he would give him to the Empress to raise. I never expected that they would all die young."

Ning Dong disliked Consort Chen, and she loathed Consort Sun, who had the same face. However, she treated Consort Sun better because Consort Sun was pregnant.

"Let's not talk about such unlucky things. Is His Majesty still going to Ning'an Palace?" The Imperial Noble Consort didn't expect that a beauty could be so alluring, directly captivating Kangxi. It would be good if she could take advantage of Consort Chen's illness to kill her.

"Yes, but perhaps because of Consort Sun's matter, His Majesty returned to the Qianqing Palace!"

Seeing that the Imperial Noble Consort hadn't changed much, Ningdong breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the Imperial Noble Consort might be jealous of Consort Liang.

"Shouldn't I also present some beauties to the Emperor?" She had rejected a few women before, but none of them had gotten pregnant, so she gave up on the idea. Now, however, she felt very uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, there is actually something else I haven't told you!" Ningdong finally couldn't help but say.

"What's wrong? Is it serious?" The Imperial Noble Consort's heart sank when she saw Ning Dong's uneasy expression. If this person was also a traitor, she would not let her off. The Imperial Noble Consort's mind raced.

"Last time when I went to teach the Uya clan a lesson, they gave me a prescription that could make people 80% of the time able to have children as an apology. But I felt there was something fishy about it, so I didn't tell Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the Imperial Noble Consort's eyes were not right and even had a murderous intent, Ning Dong quickly explained.

"A prescription for conceiving a child, please let me see it quickly!" The Imperial Noble Consort was very eager for the word "childbirth," but she was not so blinded by greed that she immediately asked Ningdong to invite her trusted imperial physician as soon as she got the prescription.

"Your Highness, this is indeed a superior fertility formula. Where did you obtain it?"

Imperial Physician Shen also looked at the Imperial Noble Consort with some eagerness; how come he hadn't thought of such a simple method?

"That's not something you can concern yourself with. I only want to know if this method is truly effective?"

The Imperial Noble Consort thought it was fake, but it turned out to be true. No wonder Lady Uya had so confidently said she would give birth to a prince.

"It is indeed true. If Your Highness the Imperial Noble Consort is not in a hurry, you can have someone try it first!" Imperial Physician Shen was 90% certain that this secret formula for conceiving a child was real.

"No, go and prepare those things inside for me as soon as possible, I need them!" Although the Imperial Noble Consort said this, she still wanted to have Ningdong go to Wuya's house to investigate.

"Yes, but one of the ingredients, Purple Chah River Tea, is very rare. It will take some time to find all of them!"

Physician Shen frowned and said, "However, the Purple Carriage River is used to ensure the normal development of the fetus, not to absorb the mother's life force."

"As soon as possible, money is no problem!" As long as a prince can be born, not to mention the position of empress, even that position can be coveted, it's just a matter of more money.

"May I give it to someone else? Someone who is not in the palace!" His daughter-in-law is not pregnant yet, so why not let her use it first? If it really doesn't work out, then his son will have to divorce her.

"Yes, but the fewer people who use it, the better." The Imperial Noble Consort thought it would be good to have people conduct experiments.

"Thank you, Your Highness, I shall take my leave!" Imperial Physician Shen was very pleased, as this was indeed a good thing.

"Your Majesty, are you really going to use it?" Ningdong asked with some concern.

The Imperial Noble Consort invited the imperial physician, and Ningdong contacted the Wuya family. Wanyi also received the news.

"I hope you believe me. That way, she won't have time to keep an eye on me. I just hope she doesn't regret getting pregnant!"

Wanyi said in a good mood that the prescription for conceiving a child was real, but long ago, without the Imperial Noble Consort's knowledge, she had several beautiful and elegant pots of it in her palace.

"You're pregnant, who would regret it? Besides, the Imperial Noble Consort is only one step away from that position. To advance further, she needs either merit or an heir." It's easy to guess what the Imperial Noble Consort is thinking.

"What a pity, this is a disaster, I will not let her escape!" Wanyi wanted to knock the Imperial Noble Consort down and take her place. The ancients were the most superstitious, so it was definitely right to go in this direction.

"Master's plan is brilliant! Little did she know that Master had laid this trap so long ago." Furong couldn't help but admire her master.

"I was just overthinking it!" This was something that suddenly came to mind when Consort Dai was still a concubine.

"Take this to Mother!" Wanyi handed a letter to Furong, asking her to deliver it.

"Yes, Master." Furong took the letter with both hands, put it in her sleeve, and left after making sure everything was in order.

Meanwhile, inside Yikun Palace

"But really, I'm pregnant?" Consort Yi looked incredulously at Granny Guo, whom her mother had sent to the palace to help her recover. Granny Guo knew some traditional Chinese medicine.

"It's almost certain!" Granny Guo said happily. She had thought that Master Yi had no hope of having children, and she had advised her to be generous and accept Consort Guo's child, even if it meant abandoning the mother and keeping the child.

"Great! I've been waiting for this for so long, and finally I don't have to put up with other people's attitudes anymore!" As for whose attitudes, it goes without saying that only Consort Guo in this Yikun Palace would go against Consort Yi, especially now that she's pregnant, she makes a scene every few days.

"Yes! Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Qingfen knew best what kind of life Her Majesty had been living day by day.

"This servant has heard a story about an older sister bringing a younger brother. Perhaps Her Majesty is kind to Princess Kejing, so she brought a little prince to Her Majesty."

The old maid, Yi, was also very happy. Now that she was in charge of the princess, and her mistress was pregnant, she was even happier.
