A few days later, a sedan chair entered Fengzao Palace.
The Queen's mother, Lady An, came to visit her daughter.
After Madam An briefly greeted the Queen, she gave her a look. The Queen understood and asked the other palace people to leave, leaving only Yuping to serve by her side.
"Mother, I asked you to secretly investigate Concubine Wan's family background, but what did you find out?"
"Or perhaps, has Concubine Wan's father or brother committed a crime? The Emperor hates it most when relatives of the emperor abuse their power to commit crimes. If Concubine Wan's family members commit crimes under her name, the Emperor will not forgive them."
Madam An looks 50% like the Queen, and appears to be a kind and gentle lady.
However, at this moment, in this dimly lit bedroom with the doors and windows tightly closed, her eyes and eyebrows showed a fierce look, and her tone was so harsh that it made people feel cold.
"You useless thing! After being the queen for several years, you can't even conceive a child. You are suppressed by a little bitch from a peasant family. How could I give birth to a loser like you!"
Her voice was harsh and full of hatred, without a trace of tenderness, as if the person in front of her was not her daughter, but her enemy.
"Back then, the Empress Dowager was attracted by your gentleness and elegance and chose you to be the Empress. Your father and I thought that from then on, our An family would rise to prominence and success! I never thought that you couldn't hold on to a man's heart. Not only does the Emperor not favor you, but you haven't even brought the slightest benefit to the family!"
"Over the years, despite being royal relatives, your father and your brothers have had an even harder time than before. Not only have they been denied promotions, but they've also been constantly warned not to do anything out of line!"
"It's all your fault. If you could use those womanly tricks to win a man's heart, how could we have ended up like this?"
"You are the daughter of the An family. If you can't do your best for your father and brother, what use are you!"
The queen had been suppressed by her mother for many years and had already subtly agreed with her mother's ideas. When she heard these words, her face was filled with shame and tears welled up in her eyes.
Mrs. An had scolded enough and drank half a cup of tea before she said, "That Concubine Wan is indeed problematic."
"I sent someone to investigate her family background, and they actually found some problems."
"According to the information you provided, I sent people to her family's farm to conduct a secret investigation. Her identity and family members all match, but..."
Madam An's eyes darkened. "It's just that the people at that farm said she looked good, but not stunningly beautiful."
"Coincidentally, in another village outside Beijing, there was a family surnamed Su. Two years ago, a mother and daughter ran away with the family's money."
"I sent someone to inquire about it. It was said that the daughter of that family was only fourteen years old when she ran away, but she was already very beautiful. It was said that a wealthy man had offered her a hundred taels of silver as a betrothal gift to be his concubine..."
The queen's tearful eyes froze and her mind raced.
"Could it be that this Concubine Wan in the palace is an imposter?"
Mrs. An's eyes were horribly sinister.
"It has to be! After we get back, I'll make arrangements. You decide when to reveal the truth to the world. Didn't you say the emperor hates being deceived and used the most? Once this is made public, she will completely lose the emperor's favor and it will be difficult for her to recover."
The queen clenched her fingers and looked hesitant.
"Mother, two months ago, late one night, a huge snake ran onto my bed and frightened me to death. I... I wondered if it was a warning from the heavens, telling me not to go against Concubine Wan, or to stop me from harming others..."
"Hmph!" Madam An was so disappointed with the queen that she gritted her teeth and poked the queen's head with her sharp nails.
"Hiss——" The queen covered her head and tears came out again.
"You just cry! What does the snake mean? The snake represents offspring. The snake ran onto your bed, which means you're going to have children!"
The Queen looked up suddenly, her eyes flickering, "Really?"
She really wanted a child, so that there would be at least one blood relative in this world who truly loved her.
Alternatively, there is no need for blood relationship, as long as the child is the emperor's child.
From the first time she met the emperor, she fell in love with him and was willing to raise a child with his blood.
She would wait until Concubine Wan gave birth before taking action, as she wanted Concubine Wan's child.
As for Concubine Wan, it would be best if she disappeared after giving birth.
The news that the Queen's mother entered the palace reached Su Wanti's ears.
Her intuition told her that the mother and daughter probably had no good intentions.
It’s a pity that the system is not omnipotent. The micro cameras in the system mall can only be used in her own bedroom and cannot be installed anywhere else.
She could only let Qingzhi Aiye and the others secretly monitor the Queen's actions, and then report what they saw and heard to the system, combining it with the situation detected by the system to make an analysis.
The late stages of pregnancy passed especially quickly. After the Queen Mother's birthday, Su Wanti was lazy for a few days, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the ninth month of pregnancy.
After Leng Hong took power, he had been making plans and everything went smoothly. He felt that the imperial physician, midwife and female doctor had all been arranged, and Su Wanti would give birth to a baby boy safely, so he was very calm.
Su Wanti was also very calm because she had already bought the pain-relieving pills, blood-replenishing pills, physical strength-enhancing pills, smooth delivery pills, etc. needed for the delivery process, and she was just waiting to take them all at the moment of delivery.
The Queen Mother, however, was very nervous.
The Empress Dowager knew that twins would be born earlier than a single baby. In August, she would send the senior palace maids from the Cining Palace to visit Su Wanti in the Ganxiao Palace three times a day, morning, noon and evening.
Until the evening of August 9th.
Outside the temple, the sky is covered with colorful clouds, which is a beautiful sight.
In the inner hall, Su Wanti's face was pale, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she felt waves of pain in her abdomen.
