Chapter 25 Why Women Make Things Difficult for Other Women
She had just entered the palace when the queen was in trouble.
If Zhao Shen's memory was not wrong, then something unexpected had happened, causing those hiding in the dark to advance their plans.
Because of the changes she caused, one was that Zhao Heng was going to marry Wei Yuanmin, and the other was that she went to the palace to see the empress dowager.
I don't know if it has anything to do with these two things.
Ji Yunshu pondered secretly.
The Queen paused, and when she turned to look at Ji Yunshu, her expression was somewhat reluctant: "Cousin Ji, is there anything else?"
The pain in her abdomen made her lips tremble as she spoke.
Ji Yunshu took a deep breath and stepped forward to support her: "The baby in your womb is the most important thing."
"But……"
The Queen was still hesitant. The Imperial Physician said the baby would be born in a few days, and she was also sure that nothing was wrong before she came to the Queen Mother's Palace.
But after staying in the hall for a while, her stomach began to hurt.
The Queen Mother has been dissatisfied with her for a long time. Even if she really did something, what can the Emperor do to his own biological mother?
She had been married to the emperor for seven or eight years before she became pregnant with this child. How could she dare to take a gamble?
Ji Yunshu was a little anxious: "Your Majesty, believe me. The Queen Mother wants this child to be well more than anyone else."
Seeing beads of sweat forming on the queen's forehead due to the pain, she could no longer care about anything else and said to the people who came with the queen, "Why don't you go get the imperial physician?"
At this time, the Queen Mother also reacted. Facing the Queen's face as pale as paper, she did not say any words of blame.
He immediately ordered the people around him: "Go and get the imperial physician."
Then someone helped the queen to go inside to rest.
After saying this, the Queen seemed still worried, so she added, "Send someone to invite the Emperor."
Since the emperor came in person, she wouldn't suspect that he would do anything bad to her.
The queen was relieved when she heard this.
Ji Yunshu supported the Queen with one hand as she walked into the inner room, and reminded the Queen Mother: "Aunt, have someone check what the Queen had just touched."
The Queen suddenly had a fit and showed great distrust of the Queen Mother. She endured the pain and risked her unborn child to leave Ningshou Palace. There must be a reason for this.
In the book, the queen suffered a difficult childbirth after leaving Ningshou Palace. The child did not survive, and the queen's body was damaged, making it impossible for her to get pregnant again.
Ji Yunshu vaguely felt that he probably knew what was going on.
Someone was deliberately trying to alienate the relationship between the Empress Dowager, the Queen, and even the Emperor.
This game ended with the emperor's maternal family and the emperor's empress's family becoming enemies.
It can greatly weaken the emperor's power.
It also made the emperor no longer trust his mother, and even the Ji family.
Ji Yunshu shuddered in his heart. It turned out that the conspiracy against the Ji family had started so early.
No wonder Zhao Heng was able to replace his father and brother so easily later.
After all, the Queen Mother had been in the palace for many years, and as soon as I heard her words, I knew what she was suspecting.
His eyes immediately fell on the cup of tea the Queen had just drunk.
Although the people in the harem prefer to use subtle means, the queen acted too quickly, so something must have gotten into her mouth.
Nanny Wen picked up the teacup and sniffed it, then said to the Queen Mother, "It seems to be something cold."
After all, she is not a doctor, and the things here are not common.
The Queen Mother thought through the whole process and her face turned livid. "Immediately seal off Ningshou Palace. No one is allowed to leave without my permission. Investigate thoroughly for me. I want to see who dared to reach into Ningshou Palace."
Nanny Wen took the order and left.
Ji Yunshu helped the queen to lie down on the bed in the inner room.
The queen was twitching in pain, and one hand was tightly grasping Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu was about to say something to comfort her when she heard a palace maid scream in fear: "Blood, the queen is bleeding."
Ji Yunshu looked down and saw that the mattress under the queen was soaked with blood.
She had never seen such a scene before and kept telling herself not to panic.
The queen was in so much pain that she was almost dazed, murmuring, "My child, protect the child."
Ji Yunshu held her hand and whispered, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician will be here soon. The child is fine, and you need to take care of yourself too."
This was the first time since she came here that she felt powerless.
She is not like those time-traveling women in novels who have no medical skills and cannot save people. Even though she knows the plot, she still lets the queen fall into such danger.
Fortunately, the ordeal didn’t last long before the imperial physician arrived.
Since the safety of the Empress and the unborn prince was at stake, the Imperial Medical Bureau did not dare to be negligent and sent three imperial physicians at once.
As soon as the person came in, the Queen Mother asked someone to give the teacup to the imperial physician for examination.
The three imperial doctors gasped after finding out what was in the cup. Without saying anything more, they hurriedly prescribed medicine for the queen.
It was not until the imperial physician announced that the Empress's condition had stabilized that Ji Yunshu had time to come to the Empress Dowager.
When she subconsciously reached out to hold the Queen Mother's hand, she discovered that her hand was even colder than hers.
He quickly comforted her, "Aunt, the imperial physician said the Empress's condition has improved and she'll be fine. Don't worry."
The Queen Mother was indeed a little scared. She simply couldn't imagine what would have happened if Ji Yunshu hadn't noticed that something was wrong with the Queen and had allowed the Queen to force herself to leave Ningshou Palace.
Even though she didn't like the queen, she never thought of harming her, not to mention that she was pregnant with her grandson.
The Queen Mother held her hand and sighed, "Thanks to you today, otherwise I don't know how to explain to the Emperor. He has been longing for this legitimate son for many years."
Ji Yunshu has been in the palace for many years, so of course she knows how much the emperor likes the queen.
It was like he really wished there were no concubines in the harem and that he only favored one person.
This is why my aunt dislikes the queen.
Women in this era are really contradictory.
As a woman, she hopes to be favored by her husband alone, but when she becomes a mother-in-law, she does not want her son to favor only one woman.
Ji Yunshu tried to persuade her, "Aunt, it's actually a good thing to have fewer women in the harem. It will also allow for a more peaceful life."
The Queen Mother gave her a sidelong glance and said, "For all these years, the Emperor has refused to favor other women in the harem because of her. Now he's so old and doesn't even have an heir. How can this be a good thing?"
Although there really was an heir to the throne, Ji Yunshu still felt a little sympathetic towards the Queen. Seeing that the Queen Mother was not angry at her words, she continued, "It's not the Queen's fault that she can't get pregnant. She must be more anxious than anyone else. You're also a woman..."
Why should women make things difficult for other women?
Moreover, although the emperor doted on the queen, he was under pressure to have offspring, so many people entered the harem over the years.
Despite the pressure from the Empress Dowager and his ministers, the Emperor did not fail to favor others.
But no one got pregnant.
Ji Yunshu strongly suspected that the person with the problem was her cousin, the emperor.
But she didn't dare say that.
If she hadn't seen that the Queen Mother truly loved her, she wouldn't have said those words before.
But she really hoped that the Queen Mother could think it over and stop interfering in the affairs of the Emperor and the Queen.
The border has been stable in recent years, and the Ji family father and son are in charge of the military, which has caused quite a bit of criticism in the court.
If the Queen Mother continues to interfere in the affairs of the harem or even the previous dynasty, it will not be good for the Ji family.
Not only will it consume the mother-son relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, but it will also give others an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Just like this time, if the Queen had any trust in the Queen Mother, she would not insist on leaving.
