When Concubine Yue returned to Qiulan Palace, she threw a tantrum.
Almost everything that could be smashed was smashed to pieces. The second prince, who was sleeping soundly in the cradle, was frightened by the sudden loud noise and started crying loudly.
Concubine Yue became increasingly irritated. She covered her ears and yelled at the Second Prince, "Stop crying! I'm so annoyed!"
Yun'er was startled and knelt at Yue Fei's feet, timidly admonishing her, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince is still young. You will frighten him like this."
These words seemed to wake up Yue Fei.
The Second Prince was the hope of her Liu family. Concubine Yue woke up from her dream and quickly stepped forward to hold the child in her arms, coaxing him softly, "Don't be afraid, You'er. Mother is here, mother is here."
With the comfort of Concubine Yue, the Second Prince, who had been crying non-stop, gradually calmed down. Seeing this, Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered the wet nurse to take the child away.
The palace maids carefully cleaned the room. Yun'er brought a cup of hot tea and whispered, "Your Majesty, there may be a chance for today's events to turn around."
"What?"
"Your Majesty, think carefully. Today's incident clearly has irrefutable evidence. But why did the Emperor only confine you to your room instead of banishing you to the cold palace?"
Concubine Yue was stunned, then angrily said, "I didn't do this in the first place. Someone is clearly framing me."
"Your Majesty is intelligent." Yun'er said with a smile, "However, in my opinion, this is only one of the reasons."
Yue Fei raised her eyes to look at Yun Er, her eyes piercing, "Go on."
"In my opinion, the evidence is too conclusive, which actually arouses suspicion. The Emperor saw this and issued an order to confine us. This is why our Liu family was appointed as the Imperial Merchant of Dajing. You also gave birth to the Second Prince, who is the only son of the Emperor. The Emperor must be cautious."
"I understand everything you've said." Listening to Yun'er's analysis, Concubine Yue became impatient again. "But now the Emperor has confined me. The Empress appears dignified, but in reality, she has a thousand thoughts on her mind. If she never finds out the truth, won't I be confined for life?"
Yun'er smiled softly, very confident, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if the Queen really can't find the truth, the Emperor won't lock you up forever."
"you mean?"
"During the border war, our Liu family presented 500,000 taels of silver, and the Emperor recently appointed our Liu family as the Imperial Merchant of Dajing. This clearly shows that the treasury is empty. If I punish you now, won't everyone think that the Emperor is heartless and unrighteous, and forgets his principles when he sees profit?"
Yun'er took a step closer and whispered, "In my opinion, confining you is just a measure of easing the situation. Time will make everything fade away. If the Queen can't find any evidence linking you to him, the Emperor will naturally release you."
Concubine Yue's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a smile slowly curled up the corners of her mouth. "You are right. Since the emperor has enjoyed the benefits brought to him by my Liu family, then at this juncture, he must not easily deal with me."
"Yes, Your Majesty is right to think so. There are many things to do when you are young. You might as well take this opportunity to rest and recuperate. The Second Prince is still waiting for you to give him another little brother."
Yue Fei smiled happily, "You are so sweet."
The atmosphere in the hall gradually relaxed. Yun'er had something in her mind, but she didn't know whether she should say it or not.
Seeing her hesitant to speak, Yue Fei raised an eyebrow and said, "What's wrong? Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to be so formal between you and me."
Yun'er nodded and said softly, "It's not a big deal. It's just that a few days ago, word came in from the mansion saying that the young master of the Pei family passed the imperial examination and will take part in the Spring Examination next spring."
When talking about her old friend, Yue Fei felt a sigh in her heart, and the past love seemed to reappear before her eyes.
"That's great. He's well-read. If he can get into high school, it would be a dream come true."
Yun'er observed Yue Fei's expression and asked tentatively, "My Lady, have you ever regretted your decision over the years?"
Concubine Yue lowered her eyes and gathered her sleeves, her expression indifferent, as if giving a warning: "I am the Emperor's Concubine Yue, the biological mother of the Second Prince, and have no relationship with the Young Master of the Pei Family."
Yun Er knew she had spoken out of turn and replied, "Yes, I'll make a note of it."
——
The news that Concubine Yue was under house arrest and Concubine Xi's pregnancy medicine had been tampered with spread throughout the harem.
One of these two people is favored and the other is powerful.
But they were both plotted against.
Who is the person behind this has become the hottest topic of conversation in the harem after dinner.
But Fu Qianyu knew in her heart that all this was Zhao Yuancheng's trick.
He not only suppressed the Liu family, but also eliminated the worries brought to him by the Yun family, killing two birds with one stone.
But based on Zhao Yuancheng's temper, I'm afraid the Liu family's affairs will not stop here.
That day, after Zhao Yuancheng left the court, he went to Huayang Palace. At that time, the imperial physician was taking his pulse.
The person who came was Han Suliang, the director of the Imperial Medical Service, also known as Han the Imperial Physician.
Imperial Physician Xun returned to his hometown to mourn his father half a month ago, and Imperial Physician Han has been serving him during this period.
Seeing Imperial Physician Han frowning, Zhao Yuancheng became a little worried and asked anxiously, "How is it? Is there something wrong with the dragon fetus?"
Facing Zhao Yuancheng's questions, Imperial Physician Han remained silent, concentrating on taking the patient's pulse. Half a cup of tea later, he finally withdrew and congratulated Zhao Yuancheng with a smile on his face, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is most likely pregnant with twins."
"real?"
Hearing the words of the imperial physician, the light in Zhao Yuancheng's eyes was like stars lighting up, filled with endless ecstasy.
Fu Qianyu was stunned and said, "How could it be twins? My belly is indeed a little bigger than an average woman's, but the imperial physician said before that I only have one child. Imperial Physician Han, are you sure you're not wrong?"
