Chapter 1467 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Early the next morning, Concubine Hui Wu Wan and Concubine An Gao Yurong began to make a list and prepare things for the New Year's Eve banquet, and they were busy in a hurry.
This side is in full swing, while the other side is cautious.
Han Guangqi followed Xiao Duozi along the path to Jianfu Palace. Before entering, he looked left and right to make sure that no one was following him, and then he slipped in.
When I entered Yanchun Pavilion, I saw Feng Qianyan leaning on the couch.
In the past few days, she has been feeling lazier and lazier. She is too lazy to move and too lazy to eat. Although people around her know that all pregnant women are like this, they are still a little worried.
When the imperial physician arrives, we will see what he says.
Han Guangqi walked up to Feng Qianyan and bowed respectfully, "Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty Ning Fei."
"Get up."
Feng Qianyan raised her hand towards him and said, "Doctor Han told them yesterday that he wanted to discuss something with me regarding my childbirth. What is it?"
"Well, let me first take your Majesty's pulse."
"good."
So, Hanxiang and the others carried a small table to the front of the couch. Feng Qianyan placed her delicate hands on the cushion and asked Han Guangqi to feel her pulse and carefully check it.
Feng Qianyan winked at everyone again, asking them to leave.
So everyone retreated outside the room.
There were only two of them left in Yanchun Pavilion.
Han Guangqi was taking Feng Qianyan's pulse while mumbling something to himself. Feng Qianyan asked, "Doctor, how is it?"
At this time, Han Guangqi raised his head and looked at her, whispering, "Your Highness Ning's pregnancy has been seven months old today. In addition, Master and I have been using the moxa burning method to accelerate labor and preserve the fetus. Now, the time has come for the fruit to fall."
"Really?"
Feng Qianyan opened her eyes wide in surprise and reached out to touch her protruding belly.
Han Guangqi said, "How dare I deceive your Majesty?"
"So, when can you give birth?"
Han Guangqi shook his head.
Feng Qianyan frowned and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Han Guangqi said, "My queen, the birth of this baby is a problem. It cannot be like an ordinary pregnant woman."
Feng Qianyan listened and asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Your Majesty, think about it. If there are no accidents, most pregnant women will give birth at full term. However, your baby was born prematurely through the moxa burning method performed by me and my master. Outsiders don't know about it. If she suddenly gave birth two or three months prematurely for no reason, it would inevitably arouse suspicion."
“…”
When Feng Qianyan heard him say this, she immediately understood.
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
indeed.
A premature birth for no reason, not to mention what the Queen would say, people like the Imperial Concubine would make a big fuss about it even without any wind. If they knew about this, they would definitely make a big fuss about it.
If anything is found out, it will be troublesome.
She hadn't thought of this herself, but fortunately, Han Guangqi helped her think of it. She quickly lowered her voice and asked, "So, what does Doctor Han mean by that—"
"What I mean is that Your Majesty needs to take advantage of this opportunity to cause her own 'premature birth'."
"What caused 'premature birth'?"
Feng Qianyan asked: "How should we do this?"
Han Guangqi lowered his head, a smile appeared at the corners of his eyes, and he said calmly: "Isn't this simple?"
“…”
"At this stage of the month, any accident could lead to premature birth."
“…”
"I have heard that there have been more than one attempts by people in the palace to assassinate the Empress. So..."
"you mean--"
"I heard that the Emperor will hold a banquet in the Warm Pavilion in a few days and invite all the ladies in the palace to attend. By then, there will be so many people and so many things to do, so are you afraid of not having a chance?"
“…”
"It's just that your Majesty has to choose the right person."
When he said this, he deliberately dragged out the tone. Feng Qianyan suddenly understood something and a light flashed in his eyes.
Han Guangqi stood up again, took out a small box from his medicine box, and handed it to Feng Qianyan.
"What's this?"
"This is the final step needed for the Empress to give birth prematurely."
"oh?"
Feng Qianyan hurriedly opened the lid of the box and saw a pitch-black pill inside. It was the size of a longan and gave off a very bitter smell that was so nauseating that she immediately closed the lid.
Han Guangqi said, "As long as the time is right, Your Majesty will give birth to a child immediately after taking this pill."
"good……"
Although it was just a pill, it weighed more than a thousand pounds in his hand. Feng Qianyan knew that this was very dangerous, but it was also his opportunity.
Han Guangqi said respectfully, "Your Majesty's pulse is normal. I will take my leave."
After packing up the medicine box, he turned and left.
After a while, Hanxiang and others came in hurriedly and asked how Feng Qianyan was doing. Feng Qianyan told her what Han Guangqi had said.
Hanxiang said in surprise, "That's a good idea. There will definitely be a lot of people at the New Year's Eve dinner. No matter who bumps into you, it will be an excuse for 'premature labor'."
“…”
"But, who will Your Majesty choose?"
When this was mentioned, Feng Qianyan showed a sneer on his face.
Who to choose?
Now, it seems that it is no longer a question of who to choose, but whoever she chooses will go to hell.
After all, she was pregnant, and no matter who offended her, it would be a crime of murdering the royal heir. The lighter punishment would be imprisonment, and the more serious the punishment, the more likely it would be beheading!
So, who should we choose?
Hanxiang spoke first, "That woman Qin Ruolan always opposes the Empress, but she has now been banished to the cold palace. She will definitely not be at this night banquet."
"Um."
"Concubine Hui and the others are being hypocritical, but they haven't turned against the Empress yet."
“…”
"It wouldn't be of much benefit to the Queen to go against them. After all, she has a father who is a Duke behind her."
Feng Qianyan sneered, "So, it seems that I don't have many choices."
Of course Hanxiang understood what she meant.
He sneered, "That's just right. The Imperial Concubine has always been jealous of the Empress. Moreover, this woman is ruthless and merciless. She won't let anyone who offends her go, even if they go crazy. I'm afraid she will definitely harm the Empress in the future."
“…”
"I have also inquired outside, and she has done more than just this one bad thing."
"oh?"
"I heard that she had a good sister in the past who was also favored by the Emperor and was canonized earlier than her. However, as soon as she was promoted to Imperial Concubine, she immediately drove that sister mad and banished her to the cold palace. Now—I'm afraid she's dead."
“…”
"I heard that she even killed a concubine, and her methods were extremely vicious and cruel!"
“…”
"This strategy kills two birds with one stone. It can create the illusion that the Empress is in premature labor, and it can also deal with the Imperial Concubine."
“…”
Feng Qianyan remained silent, with a sinister smile on her face and a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"It seems that I don't have any other choice."
