Chapter 106 Shen Meizhuang's Discovery
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about such things. Concubine Qi is not the only one pregnant in the harem, but it is her blessing to be able to give birth to the child safely."
Ever since the Queen learned that Concubine Qi was pregnant, her mood has become extremely irritable. She never thought that the chess piece she controlled would one day be out of her control and even become pregnant without telling the world.
Jianqiu comforted her softly. There had been many concubines in the harem who had become pregnant over the years, but only a few of them were able to give birth.
"Who is the imperial physician who treated her?"
"It was Doctor Zhao who accompanied us. After the Emperor learned that Concubine Qi was pregnant, he told Doctor Zhao to only take care of Concubine Qi and not to get involved in other matters."
Jianqiu told her the news she had just found out.
"Go tell Doctor Zhao to get some medicine that can make the fetus unstable. No matter what, she absolutely cannot give birth to this child. Since that's the case, why not let her prove her worth?"
The queen said this angrily. This was not the first or second time she had done such a thing. She would never allow the birth of a child that was not in her plan.
"Your Majesty, why don't we wait until we get back to the palace before we take action? There are too many people here."
The emperor's trip to the palace was decided in a hurry, and the queen did not bring too many of her own people with her. Jianqiu was worried about the consequences if anything was overlooked, and she couldn't imagine it.
"It's okay. It's just that there are so many people here and I'm not the only one who doesn't want to see Concubine Qi pregnant. So, I just need to give her a push from behind."
In fact, the Queen’s main purpose was to let Nian Shilan take the responsibility if anything happened to Concubine Qi this time.
"Your Majesty..."
Jianqiu wanted to persuade her a little more, but the Queen was not listening at all: "It's okay, just go and do as I say."
"yes."
Jianqiu had no choice but to make careful arrangements, but this time she had a bad feeling in her heart for some reason.
After returning to her residence, Nian Shilan asked Songzhi to call Wen Shichu over.
Now, because of her relationship with Zhen Huan, she is very confident in Wen Shichu. This time, it just so happens that Wen Shichu is among the accompanying imperial physicians.
"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine."
"Get up."
Nian Shilan glanced at Songzhi, and Songzhi immediately took everyone else in the room out.
"I won't beat around the bush with you. You should have guessed why I called you here, right? Did you know that Concubine Qi is pregnant?"
"In reply to your Majesty, I and other imperial physicians have examined her before, and she is indeed pregnant and in good health."
When Nian Shilan asked him to come over, Wen Shichu knew her intention, so he answered her without any hesitation.
"I know that the Emperor has asked Imperial Physician Zhao to take care of Concubine Qi's health, but you should also know that the people in the harem are complicated, not to mention the pregnancy. Now that Concubine Qi is pregnant, I'm afraid it will cause some people to feel uneasy. I would like to ask you to help me pay more attention on a daily basis. If there is anything wrong, please let me know in time."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best."
Although Wen Shichu has now let go of his feelings for Zhen Huan, the two have known each other for so many years, and even if there is no longer any romantic love between them, he will still do his best to protect her in the harem. Now that she is so close to Concubine Hua, he is naturally willing to be honest with Concubine Hua.
"Okay, I don't have anything else to do here. This time, Concubine Hui brought Princess Jinghe with her. Jinghe's appetite wasn't very good earlier. Please go and take care of her. It's so hot, don't let her get too hot."
"I will go right away."
Watching Wen Shichu leaving, Nian Shilan thought of some things she had discovered before in Suiyuxuan.
Once, when Wen Shichu went to check Zhen Huan's pulse, she happened to go to Zhen Huan to chat, and saw that Huanbi always looked at Wen Shichu intentionally or unintentionally. As a person who had experienced it, Nian Shilan knew very well what kind of look that was, and Zhen Huan seemed to acquiesce to all this.
She didn't expect that Huanbi's emotional direction would change so much in this life. She thought that Huanbi would still fall in love with Prince Guo as in the previous life. But it's also good like this now. After all, in this way, Wen Shichu can be completely used by them.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about the Queen..."
Songzhi walked into the house after Wen Shichu left. She saw Nian Shilan rubbing her forehead, and hurried forward to help her massage her solar plexus carefully.
"This Concubine Qi is reckless and brainless. I'm worried that she'll be used by the Queen. If she's simply not pregnant, it's fine, but I'm afraid the Queen will try to pin this on me. We need to avoid Concubine Qi for the next few days."
At this time, Nian Shilan missed Zhen Huan very much. She was always better at dealing with such things than herself, and she should have a way to deal with this Concubine Qi.
"By the way, Your Majesty, the Emperor summoned Concubine An to dine with him today. I guess the Emperor is very fond of Concubine An because of what happened before."
Nian Shilan smiled when she heard Songzhi's words.
The emperor's behavior is not favoritism at all. He is just using Concubine An to pressure the queen. But it is also a good thing. It would be a good thing if Concubine An could get pregnant through this opportunity.
"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. Go serve the meal. It's getting late, and I guess Shuhe is hungry too. Go ask Xin Changzai to come over and have dinner with us."
But after a while, not only Xin Changzai came, but even Shen Meizhuang, who had been disliked the hot weather and was lazy, came with her, but her brows were very serious.
"Songzhi, bring another set of bowls and chopsticks."
Nian Shilan looked at Shen Meizhuang's somewhat unexpected expression and asked curiously. She knew that Shen Meizhuang was never one to care about trivial matters, and it seemed that the trouble she had caused her this time was quite serious.
“What’s wrong with Sister Shen? You look unhappy, but what happened?”
Nian Shilan waved her hand, asking everyone else in the room to leave, and then looked at Chen Meizhuang again.
"Your Highness is indeed very clever. She spotted something unusual right away."
After Xin Changzai sat down with Shen Meizhuang, she didn't say anything else. She had noticed something was wrong with Shen Meizhuang when she saw her at the door, but she also knew that her relationship with her was not close enough for her to ask anything casually, so she didn't say anything else.
“So, Sister Shen, what happened to you?”
"Your Majesty, do you know why this noble lady Qi has been so favored by the Emperor since she entered the palace? She is just a small noble lady, but now she acts as if she doesn't take anyone seriously. Her confidence is far more than what Your Majesty thinks."
Shen Meizhuang's words surprised Nian Shilan.
I have known Chen Meizhuang for such a long time, but I have never seen her talk about a woman. I am afraid there really is a hidden story that others don't know.
