Chapter 130 Hiding the Pregnancy

"Please stand up."

Xiao Jingheng asked him directly, "Regarding the matter of the celestial phenomena, Wei Jianzheng was not clear that day. When I wanted to find him for another divination, I learned that he had an accident and died? In this case, you can calculate for him to see if Concubine Song's horoscope is really in conflict with the Queen?"

As the deputy of the Imperial Observatory, Li Yun naturally had a close relationship with Wei Zhengde.

There was no way he didn't know that Wei Zhengde died suddenly at this critical juncture because he had offended someone he couldn't afford to offend.

And this person is most likely the emperor!

In this case, how could Li Yun dare to speak nonsense again?

He was so frightened that he couldn't stop shaking, and stammered, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I will give you a calculation."

He took out a compass and calculated in the hall in a serious manner.

After a moment, he seemed to have figured out something strange. A flash of surprise flashed across his brows, and he knelt on the ground in shock.

"Your Majesty, I have calculated that Tianfu Star and Tianyang Star do not have the potential to collide with each other, and there is nothing wrong with the astrological signs in recent days..."

"Oh?" Xiao Jingheng asked solemnly, "Why is your statement so different from what Wei Jianzheng said two days ago?"

Li Yun hurriedly said, "Or, maybe Wei Jianzheng made a mistake when he was fortune-telling! Your Majesty, you don't know that Wei Jianzheng is addicted to alcohol. He always has a bottle of wine with him when he is on duty. Maybe alcohol is harmful to his health and he is a little confused."

This statement made Xiao Jingheng very satisfied.

He nodded and said, "Yes, Wei Jianzheng was addicted to alcohol and eventually lost his life due to drunkenness. This is retribution. It is ridiculous that the Imperial Observatory has allowed such an immoral and incompetent person to occupy the position of the Jianzheng for a long time."

After speaking for a while, he deliberately asked: "Let me ask you, in your opinion, does Concubine Song still need to be confined?"

"No need, no need! The stars are fine, Concubine Song doesn't need to be confined!"

Li Yun answered so quickly that it seemed as if someone was urging him to die from behind.

The queen let out a breath she had been holding as he spoke.

Xiao Jingheng looked at Song Zhao and said gently, "If that's the case, then let's lift the confinement on Concubine Song."

Then he deliberately asked the Queen, "Does Queen think this arrangement is okay?"

How could the Queen dare to object?

He just said, "Since it was Wei Jianzheng who made the mistake while on duty, Concubine Song should be freed. But it's a pity for her that she has been confined to her own palace for the past two days because of the nonsense of a drunkard, even the New Year's Eve banquet. It's really unfair."

Song Zhao immediately stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty."

When masters fight, they usually stop when the fighting is just enough.

With just a few words, the queen pinned all the blame on the dead Wei Zhengde, clearing herself of all suspicion.

Xiao Jingheng did not investigate further, but promoted Li Yun to be the director of the Imperial Observatory as a warning to the queen.

Only Concubine Ning could not see the situation clearly and kept saying:

"Your Majesty, do you think this was Wei Zhengde's idea alone? If there was no one behind him, why would he, an official from outside the court, throw dirty water on me and Concubine Song?"

Of course, Xiao Jingheng didn't respond to her question at all.

The queen is the queen after all, and she is pregnant now. Even if she turns the roof of the harem upside down, Xiao Jingheng will just turn a blind eye and won't investigate further.

But Xiao Jingheng also made some compensation to Song Zhao.

After the ban was lifted, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent rewards to the Yaohuang Palace in a stream. All of them were exquisite and gorgeous. Only the best items were dared not be brought in front of Song Zhao.

Song Zhaoze thanked the emperor for his grace and accepted the order.

Although she herself did not care about these material possessions, she would need money to manage her affairs in the palace in the future.

In the following days, Song Zhaohun seemed to be fine and would still visit the queen.

The Queen said to her, "Concubine Ning thought that I was the one behind this, and I guess I said a lot of dirty things to you. But you ignored me and are willing to get close to me?"

Song Zhao smiled and said, "I have been treated well by the Queen since I entered the palace. How could I think that this was instigated by the Queen? Besides, I saw the fire in Fengluan Palace with my own eyes. The Queen's life was hanging by a thread at that time. I am afraid that I am really a disaster star and have implicated the Queen. That would be my fault."

Shuang Ruo added, "People say that they judge others by how they think. Concubine Song is kindhearted, so she naturally wouldn't have those thoughts of speculating about the Empress and being disrespectful to the Empress. But Concubine Ning...she is full of bad thoughts, so she thinks that everyone is the same as her, she..."

"Shuangruo! Don't talk about the master." The queen scolded Shuangruo harshly, not telling her to continue speaking.

But if the Queen had not told Shuangruo in advance, how could she, such a law-abiding person, dare to interrupt her masters when they were talking?

The master and servant enjoyed the show, and Song Zhao just watched it.

After the play was over, he went to the Empress Dowager's palace to accompany her in worshiping Buddha.

She came every day these days, accompanying the Empress Dowager to pray for the Empress and Concubine Xiao's unborn baby.

The Queen Mother's love for Song Zhao was beyond words, and she never hesitated to praise her.

"You are a kindhearted child, and you never get involved in the gossips of the harem. You are the same as your mother. I secretly hope that one day you can give birth to an heir for the emperor, which would be even better."

She looked at Song Zhao's flat belly and sighed, "It is said that the emperor dotes on you, so why is there no movement?"

Song Zhao said shyly: "For things like this, we should just obey the will of heaven. It is not something that I can rush to resolve."

How could the Queen Mother know whether she was pregnant or not?

After returning to the palace that day, Xiao Fuzi came to check Song Zhao's pulse.

He was very cautious, examined again and again, and finally said with certainty:

"My dear, you are indeed one month pregnant! Although I am not an expert in medicine, I am still confident that you can be pregnant."

Song Zhao remained indifferent after hearing this, not as happy as others who had a child or a gold ingot.

"I understand. Keep this a secret and don't tell anyone."

"I understand, but you have to start avoiding certain foods recently."

Song Zhao smiled and nodded, then told Xiao Fuzi to leave first.

In fact, after returning to the palace from the hot spring villa, Song Zhao's period did not come on time, so she asked Xiao Fuzi to check her pulse.

She knew that she was pregnant early on, so even without Prince An's help that day, she would be able to escape from the confinement.

But using the news of my pregnancy to get the house arrest lifted seems a bit of a loss.

Anyone in the palace who has a child will try to gain some benefits for themselves.

So Song Zhao is waiting,

She had to wait for a suitable time before telling the news in order to maximize the benefits.

for example:

She was made a concubine and became the head of a palace.

Only in the future can I raise my own children openly under my knees.
