Chapter 21 The Princess and the Bloodthirsty King
These words were like a huge rock thrown into a lake.
Everyone was shocked.
Although Concubine Shu was a little jealous, she was also happy afterwards.
Anyway, the child was not born from her own belly, so it made no difference to her whether Cha Jiu was pregnant with one or two.
However, Concubine Shu was still very happy to see anything that could annoy Concubine Zhang.
She glanced at Concubine Zhang beside her, and she indeed had an unpleasant expression on her face.
Princess Zhang’s palms were almost broken from pinching.
Why is all the blessing in this world given to Mo Lian Yuehua?
Chuntang was afraid that Concubine Zhang would have another miscarriage, so she quickly helped her back to Shou'an Palace.
"What do you mean Concubine Zhao is pregnant with twins?" The Queen Mother frowned.
Princess Zhang had an abdominal pain and her face turned pale. She sat aside and sipped the pregnancy-maintaining medicine.
Chuntang replied for her, "Yes, Concubine Zhao said it herself, and I secretly sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to verify it."
Zhang Yuanshan's expression also became serious: "Queen Mother, it seems that our plan needs to be advanced."
Otherwise, when the baby in Concubine Zhao's belly is born, I am afraid that Yuwen Yuan will ignore the seniority and immediately make Concubine Zhao's child the crown prince.
Princess Zhang was kept in the dark and asked in confusion: "What's the plan?"
The Queen Mother ignored her and nodded to Zhang Yuanshan: "This is the only way, go and get ready."
It doesn't matter whether they are twins or single children.
There can only be one child in this palace.
That is the bloodline of their Zhang family.
The chess pieces I have raised for so long are finally going to be used.
…
Cha Jiu never thought of hiding the fact that she was pregnant with twins.
For one thing, she had already become the target of everyone in the harem. No matter whether she was pregnant with one or two children, those who wanted to harm her would still do it.
Second, the security conditions around her are quite good.
Yuwen Yuan sent a team of imperial guards to protect her closely and also doubled the number of secret guards.
The Yongle Palace was also staffed by experienced elders whose family backgrounds and personalities were very clean.
The food you eat and things you touch every day are strictly screened through three levels to avoid poisoning or incompatibility.
The most important thing is Cha Jiu's own golden finger.
Systemic antidote.
There are always omissions in manual poison detection. Occasionally, cakes sprinkled with slightly poisonous powder are delivered, which cannot be detected, but pregnant women will feel uncomfortable after eating them.
Cha Jiu ate it all up and was fine.
The people who were behind the poisoning were all confused and scratching their heads.
However, no matter how many hidden arrows there are, it is still difficult to defend against them.
In July of the year, Cha Jiu was about to give birth to twins.
Yuwen Yuan summoned Mo Lianzheng from the Northern Frontier to the palace again, just to let Cha Jiu have her family by her side.
Cha Jiu and Mo Lianzheng were both very grateful.
But this time, Mo Lianzheng also brought Cha Jiu's silly brother.
"Yuehua!" As soon as Mo Lian Xiaoyu saw Cha Jiu, he wanted to rush forward happily without any courtesy.
The guards beside Cha Jiu raised their swords to block the attack, their momentum was overwhelming.
Mo Lianxiaoyu's eyes darkened.
That person was right. My sister was not having a good time in the palace. Yuwen Yuan even sent someone to monitor her!
Cha Jiu said, "It doesn't matter. They are my father and brothers."
Only then did the Imperial Guards put down their weapons and give in.
Mo Lian Xiaoyu strode forward, looked left and right at his long-lost sister, and finally his eyes fell on her round belly.
Carrying twins who were almost full-term, Cha Jiu's belly was so big that it was a little scary.
Mo Lian Xiaoyu cursed Yuwen Yuan in his heart again.
He reached out to touch it, but was scolded back by Mo Lianzheng.
"Do you still have any manners?" Mo Lianzheng pulled him back, "Can you offend the queen?"
I knew my son was stupid, but I didn't know he was this stupid.
Mo Lianxiaoyu felt a little aggrieved: "Yuehua is my sister!"
Mo Lianzheng scolded in a low voice: "Yuehua has only one identity since entering the palace, that is, your Majesty's concubine, now the Empress Zhao, you should wake up."
Cha Jiu knew that this silly brother couldn't change his mind, so she didn't force him to do anything.
She happily invited the two of them to sit down and have dinner together.
"This dish of braised duck with bird's nest and bamboo shoots is quite good. Father and brother, please try it."
"And this Ruyi Scroll is also not available in the Northern Frontier."
Knowing that Cha Jiu's father and brother would be living in the palace permanently, Yuwen Yuan specially found a chef who could cook Northern Frontier dishes and Sheng Kingdom specialties and sent him to Yongle Palace to cater to their tastes.
Mo Lian Xiaoyu was very disdainful and put the Ruyi roll aside: "This thing is fried with flour and has no meat taste at all."
Mo Lianzheng glared at him and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, get out of the palace."
Mo Lian Xiaoyu then fell silent.
Zhirou served the two people food and added wine to everyone's glasses.
Cha Jiu turned her hand and knocked over the wine glass, getting her dress wet.
Zhirou quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her, but the smell of alcohol on her body could not be concealed.
Cha Jiu could only stand up and said, "Father and brother, eat first. I'll go change my clothes and come back."
"Go ahead, go ahead, don't catch a cold." Mo Lianzheng said.
Cha Jiu was supported by Xie and entered the bedroom. Just as Zhirou went to the closet to pick out suitable clothes, a big hand with a handkerchief soaked in knockout drug reached out from behind her and covered her mouth and nose.
Cha Jiu opened his eyes wide and wanted to call for help, but the system had fallen into a deep sleep due to upgrades in the past few days and communication was impossible.
After a few breaths, she passed out.
When she woke up again, her hands were tied and she was in a luxurious carriage.
The carriage had soft cushions and a variety of familiar and exquisite food.
Only Zhirou can make these pastries.
Cha Jiu turned around and saw Zhi Rou sitting in the corner.
Unlike her usual silly, old-fashioned and serious self, she now stared at Cha Jiu expressionlessly, with a calm, terrifyingly cold look in her eyes.
Fortunately, there was no handkerchief in her mouth, so Cha Jiu asked out loud: "It's you?"
Zhirou did not answer.
After a while, two more people came in, one was Mo Lian Xiaoyu, and the other was the long-missing Wan He.
When Wanhe saw Chajiu, his eyes avoided and there was a guilty look on his face.
Cha Jiu didn't know how this group of people got together, so she simply asked the big fool Mo Lian Xiaoyu: "You kidnapped me and let me out?"
Mo Lian Xiaoyu didn't want his sister to misunderstand him, so he quickly corrected her: "I'm not tying you up, I'm saving you."
After his lengthy explanation, Cha Jiu finally understood the situation.
When Wanhe was in Taihua Palace, she didn't know who rescued her. That person entangled her and let her escape back to the Northern Frontier.
He had only one request, which was to tell Mo Lian Xiaoyu that his beloved sister was living a miserable life in the harem.
Wan He has been serving his sister for many years, and coupled with the filter he cast on the tyrant Yuwen Yuan, Mo Lian Xiaoyu naturally believed 70% of it.
Later, when he saw with his own eyes that there were so many imperial guards around Cha Jiu and heard the testimony of her personal maid Zhirou, Mo Lian Xiaoyu believed it 100%.
Taking advantage of this trip to the capital, he brought a group of death warriors and disguised them as ordinary attendants, working together with Zhirou from inside and outside to rescue his sister from Yuwen Yuan's clutches.
After hearing the whole story, Cha Jiu was speechless.
She tried to explain: "Brother, Yuwen Yuan treats me very well, and the guards around me are all..."
Mo Lian Xiaoyu interrupted her: "Are you trying to say that the imperial guards around you were arranged to protect you? Zhirou told me that it was Yuwen Yuan who lied to you. He just wanted to keep an eye on you."
He looked at Cha Jiu with pity in his eyes.
“…”
Cha Jiu glanced at Zhirou.
You guys have brainwashed him thoroughly.
