Fifteen minutes later
Consort Que slumped into a chair, her face deathly pale.
With a bitter smile, Consort Que murmured to herself, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is. I am healthy, but it's very difficult for me to conceive, hahaha."
"God, why are you doing this to me? Why?"
With a frenzied expression, Consort Que laughed and then burst into tears.
Trembling, utterly dejected, desperate and helpless, he looked like a pitiful person abandoned by the world.
Consort Que was indeed a pitiful person.
At the Tongjia residence, Tong Guowei, drunk, unexpectedly favored the illegitimate daughter born to a foot masseuse.
She was not favored in her childhood and was forgotten in a corner of the Tongjia mansion. Later, her luck changed and she was summoned to the palace as a concubine. After many twists and turns, she finally served the emperor and became a legitimate concubine in the harem. But what happened?
Because of her young age, she was eager to serve the emperor.
During her first time receiving the emperor's favor, she used aphrodisiac incense, which damaged her body and made it difficult for her to conceive later.
Even if one is lucky enough to conceive, they will likely miscarry within three months.
Consort Que cried!
At this moment, Consort Que not only hated Consort Wen, but also the Tongjia clan, her cold-blooded and ruthless father Tong Guowei, and her cruel and vicious stepmother.
She lost her fertility!
Hahaha……
Consort Que severely reprimanded the palace servants and bribed the imperial physician who was taking the pulse, forbidding him from revealing anything about what had happened in Chengqian Palace.
Xu Lejin's side
Liu Ying and Qing Tan entered the hall almost at the same time, both with solemn expressions.
"Your Majesty, Consort Lan of Xianfu Palace is pregnant and is already one and a half months along. In addition, Consort Chen of Yongshou Palace has been poisoned with a slow-acting poison and does not have much time left."
Xu Lejin heard Liu Ying's report and looked surprised.
After hesitating for a moment, she said in a deep voice, "Consort Lan is pregnant, this is a joyous occasion. Liuying, have someone inform the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, Consort Wen, and Consort Hui."
"Chen Changzai has been poisoned?"
After a pause, Xu Lejin frowned. "I remember that Consort Chen was a palace maid who served flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden. She gained the Emperor's favor and was given the titles of Lady and Consort."
"In the past two years, Chen Chang has received almost no favor from the emperor and has been virtually invisible in the palace. How could he suddenly be poisoned by a slow-acting poison?"
His complexion was slightly somber.
Xu Lejin coldly ordered, "Report this matter to Consort Wen and Consort Hui, and have them investigate the poisoning of Consort Chen carefully."
"Although Consort Chen has fallen out of favor and comes from a humble background, she was still favored by the Emperor and is one of the concubines in the harem."
"yes."
Liu Ying respectfully agreed and stepped aside.
Qingtan stepped forward and respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, in the Eastern Six Palaces, the two concubines in Consort Wan's palace are indeed pregnant, already two and a half months along. Furthermore…"
"Both Consort Hong and the woman from the field palace in Consort Hui's palace are pregnant. Consort Hong is more than a month pregnant, while the woman from the field palace is less than a month pregnant."
Qingtan glanced quickly at Xu Lejin out of the corner of her eye, then steeled herself and continued, "Because of her dance training, Consort Hong is quite thin, and the imperial fetus can only be carried for five months. (The woman from the official's household...)"
“If the woman from the field is young and insists on keeping the dragon fetus, the fetus may be born with defects and the childbirth may be difficult.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Lejin was shocked and stunned.
Yanxi Palace
When Consort Hui heard that Hong had agreed to marry the woman from the Tian official's household, her jaw dropped in astonishment.
The women she had her family select and send to the palace were bought from Jiangnan.
She was meticulously trained and cultivated from a young age, and was strictly disciplined from childhood. In order to maintain a slender and delicate figure, she dieted...
She even took some drugs that were harmful to fertility in order to achieve weight loss.
Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to conceive, but now, out of the seven women, two of them are pregnant with a dragon child?
With such lowly births, how could they be worthy of conceiving a dragon's child?
“Cunxin, have Hong agree to come to my main hall with Lady Tian.”
With a cold expression, Consort Hui gritted her teeth and gave orders to Cunxin, who was serving her. She was seething with hatred and resentment towards Hong, who had promised the Tian official's daughter that she would have a baby.
After a cup of tea.
The slender and delicate Consort Hong and the field official entered Consort Hui's main hall with their heads slightly bowed.
"This humble servant, Hongyu, and this humble servant, Tian, greet Consort Hui. May Consort Hui be blessed."
Hong and the Tian official exchanged a subtle glance before Hong bowing respectfully to Consort Hui.
Consort Hui stood up and looked down at the two of them.
A fierce glint flashed in her eyes, and Consort Hui spoke coldly, "You are all very fortunate. You have only served the Emperor once or twice, and you have already become pregnant."
"You of your lowly birth, how dare you expect to be pregnant?"
Hong and Tian, the woman in charge of the ceremony, exchanged a glance and remained silent, maintaining their bowing posture.
Every second, every minute, after half a cup of tea.
Consort Hui, with a languid expression and a contemptuous look, said, "Truly lowly sluts, despicable things. If I hadn't had people buy you into the palace and promoted you to serve the Emperor, you would probably already be ridden by a thousand men and slept with by ten thousand men."
He gave a cold laugh.
Consort Hui said to Cunxin beside her in a deep voice, "Hongying and Tianguan's daughter rely on their pregnancy with the emperor's child to act arrogantly and do not take me seriously."
“Cunxin, have someone take them out and make them kneel under the eaves for two hours.”
You Shi (5-7 PM)
Xu Lejin was accompanying Kangxi, wondering what had gotten into him today that made him come to her Yikun Palace and stay for several hours, from noon until now.
"My beloved concubine, those two women in Yanxi Palace are pregnant, which is truly not what I wished for. I—"
