Chapter 262 The Queen Takes Contraceptive Soup

Since Zhao Saiyuan has made such a decision, I don't have to be soft-hearted when I face him again in the future.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing." This time it was Mei Ying who spoke.

Lu Xingwan was even more excited now.

Having been with his mother for so long, Lu Xingwan knew for sure that Mei Ying was usually only responsible for controlling the overall situation.

But as long as Meiying comes to her mother, it must be extremely important news.

Song Qingyan also looked at Mei Ying's face with full concentration.

"During these days, when investigating the harem, I didn't find any contact between them and outsiders."

"But I have discovered something. Your Majesty, I'm afraid you are taking contraceptive soup."

"Contraceptive soup?" Song Qingyan was really shocked.

I thought Shen Ning's step-by-step plan was intended to seize power.

But shouldn't the first step to seize power be to have an heir of your own? Only with an heir can you compete with the crown prince.

But why is she drinking contraceptive soup?

She doesn't want her own child, so what is her plan?

Song Qingyan's mind was in a mess.

Then he looked up at Mei Ying, trying to get an answer from her, but Mei Ying just shrugged and said, "Miss, I have been investigating this matter for the past few days, but I still have no clue."

"In addition to this matter, there is another matter. The former Minister of Personnel, Lord Shen, went to the Prince's Palace a few days ago."

Song Qingyan nodded: "The prince told me about this matter. It is a blessing in disguise that we got a great general like Lord Shen."

It must be said that Song Qingyan's political mind was very clear. She knew in her heart that the reason why Lin Hecheng was promoted to the position of Minister of Personnel was simply to give an explanation to the outside world because Lord Shen had embezzled the five hundred taels.

Lin Hecheng is a useless person.

If even she can see it, how can Your Majesty not see it?

Your Majesty is not that kind of incompetent ruler.

I think after this storm has passed, Lord Shen will still be promoted. As for Lin Hecheng, it is hard to say whether he will return to his position as the Minister of Personnel or be demoted.

Seeing that Meiying and Zhuying had finished talking, Song Qingyan suddenly stood up holding Lu Xingwan.

But as Lu Xingwan grew up, Song Qingyan found it difficult to hold her and almost stumbled and fell.

After Meiying and Zhuying left, Song Qingyan instructed Jinyu to invite Qionghua.

Every time Lu Xingwan saw Sister Qionghua, he felt as if he hadn't seen her for a long time, so naturally he would throw himself into her arms and be intimate with her.

Song Qingyan understood Lu Xingwan's behavior, but Qiong Hua did not.

But he also picked her up very affectionately and teased her.

Song Qingyan felt a little embarrassed.

After all, Qionghua was just like his own Wanwan, but she was a fairy from the world of immortal cultivation. He felt a little sorry for often bothering her with these mundane trivial matters.

But now, Qiong Hua's medical skills are the best among those Song Qingyan has ever seen.

As if noticing Song Qingyan's discomfort, Qiong Hua took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I'll be happy for anything."

Seeing Qiong Hua being so considerate, Song Qingyan smiled and thought to herself that if Miss Qiong Hua got tired of staying in this palace and wanted to move out one day, she would definitely give her everything she wanted.

Thinking of this, Song Qingyan felt much more relieved.

"I have something to ask Miss Qionghua for help," Song Qingyan said, looking at Qionghua and Lu Xingwan who were quarreling in front of her, "Meiying came today and said that the Queen seemed to be taking contraceptive pills."

Having said this, Song Qingyan looked at Qiong Hua awkwardly.

After all, Miss Qionghua is a girl.

But she forgot that doctors never care about these things.

Qiong Hua interrupted her and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to test it out?"

"Well," Song Qingyan nodded, "I think with Miss Qionghua's medical skills, if she took contraceptive pills this morning, can we still detect it now?"

Hearing this, Qiong Hua heaved a sigh of relief: "If it was taken this morning, then Her Majesty just needs to take me to the Empress. I can smell it."

"Okay!" Song Qingyan stood up when she said this. It happened that the Emperor of Great Chu had just rested in the Empress' Palace yesterday.

"In that case, I will let the Queen go."

Although Qiong Hua was puzzled about what Song Qingyan meant, he did not ask any more questions. He just stood up and walked out with Song Qingyan.

Knowing that Shen Ning was a suspicious person, Song Qingyan did not go directly to Jinxiu Palace.

Instead, he took Qiong Hua to the Empress Dowager's Palace first.

Out of respect for Qiong Hua, Song Qingyan did not ride in the sedan chair, but walked to Rongle Palace with Qiong Hua.

The two of them were chatting and laughing along the way, and the scene was very harmonious.

However, this harmony was interrupted by the person coming towards them.

The person walking towards him was none other than Concubine Yao, who had been quite favored by the Emperor of Great Chu in recent days.

Actually, there weren't that many concubines around the Emperor of Great Chu, just one Empress and one Imperial Consort.

There are only two concubines now, Concubine Lan and Concubine Wen, but they are both non-competitive people. Moreover, as they grow older and their children grow up, they no longer have the desire to compete for favor.

Counting further, there are two concubines: Concubine Lin and Concubine Yao.

There are three noble ladies, but Noble Lady Le is pregnant now, and Noble Lady Yue has such a bad temper, so the harem is indeed very deserted.

Naturally, it was because of the Empress' recommendation that Concubine Yao regained the favor of the Emperor of Chu.

Concubine Yao knew that the person walking towards her must be a concubine from the palace, but when she saw that the other party did not even have a sedan chair, and without seeing clearly who was coming, she actually ordered the palace maid beside her to step forward and ask the person in front to make way for her.

Because of Concubine Yao's glory, this little girl has also been very glorious recently, so she naturally walked up to Song Qingyan in a swagger.

After seeing clearly the person in front of her, the palace maid was stunned.

This is the Imperial Concubine.

I was so nervous that I couldn't speak for a moment.

"Which palace's servants are so unruly!" Jinyu had never been used to the bad habits of these palace maids. Her own queen was the imperial concubine, so she could tolerate some anger from the empress dowager on a daily basis. After all, that was her high status.

But if anyone wants to bully the Empress in the slightest, that is not allowed.

Song Qingyan looked at Jinyu standing in front of her and couldn't help but smile.

She is now standing in front of him holding Lu Xingwan.

A typical old hen protecting her chicks.

Song Qingyan suddenly felt that this description seemed inappropriate.

The maid opposite her naturally knew Jinyu's temper, and she knelt down hurriedly: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I am with Concubine Yao."

At this moment, the sedan chair that Concubine Yao was riding in had already been lifted up in front of Song Qingyan.

Song Qingyan had noticed her arrogant look a long time ago, but she was not angry.
