Chapter 285 Self-directed and self-acted
Concubine An couldn't help but feel angry when she thought of this. This Concubine Shu was really lucky. Because she didn't have a prince, Concubine An was temporarily superior to her, but now that Concubine Shu was pregnant, Concubine An's advantage was gone in an instant.
What's more, Concubine Shu had more qualifications than Concubine An, would the emperor take back her power to rule the palace...
Concubine An was still worried secretly, and Xiao Xixi was even more surprised.
Although she didn't remember that Tong Chuanqiong was not the son of the Grand Tutor, she remembered that Concubine Shu took a lot of banned drugs.
[I didn't expect that Concubine Shu could still get pregnant after taking so many banned drugs. She is in such good health! ]
Xiao Xixi couldn't help but sigh.
Qin Shu's mouth twitched slightly. What kind of compliment was this from Xiao Xixi?
But she had just heard Xixi's revelation. In order to get pregnant, Concubine Shu took a lot of medicines that she shouldn't have taken. In fact, those medicines would not allow her to successfully conceive, but would harm her body.
That's why little Xixi said that Concubine Shu was able to get pregnant because of her good health.
Little Xixi was looking at Beibei who had returned from Concubine Shu with great interest.
[How is it, Beibei, is Concubine Shu's poison cured? ]
Beibei nodded his head proudly, although because of his fat white body, his movements could not be seen at all.
[Of course, such a simple poison, how could Beibei not know how to cure it! ]
Beibei felt that his little master was simply insulting him.
With just this little bit of poison from Concubine Shu, even if the imperial physician came later, it would be easily cured, let alone him!
Xiao Xixi had already guessed that the poison of Concubine Shu would not be very serious. After all, she was the one who poisoned Concubine Shu. She just wanted to win sympathy and step on Concubine An.
Although Concubine An and Concubine Shu seemed to have a good relationship in the palace before, there have never been real friends in the harem. Since Concubine An had the power to control the palace, Concubine Shu and Concubine An have tacitly stayed away from each other.
Now Concubine Shu wants to use this method to frame Concubine An, probably for her own power to control the palace.
The reason why Qin Xixi wanted Beibei to help Concubine Shu remove the poison was, on the one hand, because Xiao Xixi wanted to go home quickly, and on the other hand, she wanted Beibei to remove the poison of Concubine Shu in advance, so that when the imperial physician came, he would not be able to tell that Concubine Shu was poisoned.
If Concubine Shu was not poisoned, how could she foam at the mouth? Of course, Concubine Shu was pretending.
Xiao Xixi admitted that she wanted to expose Concubine Shu's self-directed and self-acted drama.
But Xixi has always held grudges. She has not forgotten that Concubine Shu wanted to punish her mother and fourth brother last time. Now that she has got the chance, Concubine Shu will also lose a layer of skin.
Qin Xixi just didn't expect that Concubine Shu was pregnant.
But it doesn't matter. Concubine Shu's child is likely to not be born.
Qin Xixi couldn't help but turn her head to look at Concubine An.
Judging from Concubine An's current expression, if Concubine Shu's child can really be born safely, Concubine An's years in the harem will be in vain.
[Concubine An and Concubine Shu... There will be good shows to watch in the harem in the future! ]
Xiao Xixi ate melons with great interest. Qin Shu was really afraid that she would touch the emperor's mold and something would happen.
However, the emperor was also in shock at the moment. Even if he was not the emperor, a man would be shocked to see his concubine poisoned, and then the imperial physician came and said that the concubine was pregnant.
"Pregnant... Let's not talk about it for now, how is the poison of Concubine Shu?"
The imperial physician was a little surprised when he heard it, and then he saw Concubine Shu foaming at the mouth, and he couldn't help but become more confused.
"According to the pulse, Concubine Shu should not be poisoned."
The emperor frowned.
"How can she not be poisoned? Why is she foaming at the mouth?"
The imperial physician felt that Concubine Shu was probably pretending, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Well... Concubine Shu was not poisoned, and she will probably wake up soon."
Concubine An heard this, and her eyes showed resentment.
She knew that this bastard must have framed her.
But I didn't expect her to be so cowardly that she didn't even dare to act completely.
Concubine An snorted in her heart, then don't blame her for finding an opportunity to kill back.
She was moved, and immediately pretended to be very aggrieved, with tears in her eyes, and her expression was exactly the same as when the emperor wrongly accused her of cheating.
"Your Majesty has also seen that I was wronged, and Sister Shufei was not poisoned at all!"
The emperor also had a headache for a while, and he could roughly see through the little tricks of these concubines in the harem.
But now that Shufei is pregnant, things have become difficult again...
The emperor couldn't help but miss the time when the late queen was still there. At that time, she controlled the harem, and the harem was peaceful, the competition for favor was not serious, and the relationship between the concubines in the harem was also good.
It's nothing like now, where Concubine Shu and Concubine An are in opposition, and he can see the sides of the concubines in the palace...
The emperor sighed helplessly.
It's a pity that the late queen died when giving birth to the prince, which is one of the reasons why the emperor didn't depose him even though the prince was mediocre.
"In this case, Concubine Shu is not poisoned, so let's all go after the false alarm."
The emperor gave an order, and the guards blocking the palace gate also dispersed, and the ministers sat back at the banquet.
"Concubine An has been wronged, so reward her with two pieces of the best cloth in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and a lot of gold and jewels."
The emperor gave such an order, which was also an explanation to Concubine An.
Although Concubine An did not have any actual promotion in her position, she received a reward from the emperor. First, no one would dislike money, and second, this was a slap in the face of Concubine Shu, so Concubine An was also happy to withdraw.
However, this black dragon is not so easy to get over.
The emperor then frowned and looked at the palace maid who had previously slandered Concubine An for poisoning.
"Catch her for me, torture her severely, and force out the mastermind behind it."
The emperor did not believe that the palace maid had not been taught by anyone.
Catching the palace maid and torturing her severely, although it is not necessary to interrogate anything, at least it should give a warning to the people behind it.
The emperor sighed, but still had to deal with these trivial matters.
The maid's face turned pale upon hearing this
. She couldn't stop shaking. This maid was a maid brought by Concubine Shu from her home as a dowry. Although she was a maid, the treatment she received in the Taifu Mansion and the palace was the best. How could she withstand severe torture?
She didn't understand. It was clearly agreed between Concubine Shu and her that if the poison was administered, Concubine Shu would be fine as long as the imperial physician called in time.
But why, after drinking the poison, Concubine Shu also foamed at the mouth, but she was not poisoned!
The maid panicked instantly and couldn't stop kowtowing, saying that she was wronged and that she was just too worried about Concubine Shu, so she spoke without thinking.
But the emperor didn't buy her.
