Quanfu reported the good news from the harem to the emperor, and the emperor was very happy to hear it. At least it proved that there was no problem with him. He was also more satisfied with Lianyi's approach. Not only was he not jealous, but she also considered everything very thoughtfully.
In stark contrast to the emperor's mood were all the women in the harem, except the empress. They were so jealous that they were gushing with envy. How could this Liang concubine be so lucky that she became pregnant after only three months of the emperor's stay in the harem?
At one time, there were many concubines who broke things and beat and scolded the palace maids, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was busy adding new things to these palaces, and everyone was busy and overwhelmed.
Then these women formed a team to congratulate Concubine Liang. After receiving Lanzhi's advice, Concubine Liang used the excuse of feeling nauseous and dizzy as an excuse not to meet these people. Although she accepted all the things these people sent her, she put away everything except the gold and silver separately, for fear that there might be something unfavorable to her in them.
After these concubines hit a snag, they turned around and came to Fengqi Palace to pay their respects to Lianyi, trying to flatter Lianyi in a roundabout way. Lianyi, in turn, acted like a queen and criticized all the concubines:
"You all know that the emperor values his offspring, and it took him so long to announce the good news. This is a great event, so you'd better be quiet, don't have thoughts that you shouldn't have, and don't reach out that you shouldn't have. Otherwise, if you anger the emperor, neither you nor your family will end up well."
"Yes, Queen!"
After these concubines reluctantly agreed, they returned home. They had intended to cause trouble for the Empress, but in the end they were taught a lesson instead. They were left with nothing to show for it and had to leave in disgrace.
After sending these concubines away, Nanny Sun said to Lianyi:
"Your Majesty, please do not listen to the instigation of these concubines. They naturally know that the emperor attaches great importance to his heirs. If they dare to take action, they will die. That is why they want to instigate your Majesty to take action. Their purpose is to see your Majesty lose power so that they can reap the benefits."
"Of course I know, they are just some petty thoughts that are not worthy of being mentioned on the stage, no need to pay attention to them."
Ripple waved her hand.
Nanny Sun saw that Lianyi was not fooled at all, and she also knew that the Queen really had no feelings for the Emperor, so she would not feel jealous, which was better this way.
After Lianyi coaxed the three naughty monkeys to sleep at night, she waited for Duoduo and Xuanfeng to come back.
Tornado walked into Lianyi's bedroom through the main door with an elegant cat-like step. Lanzhi and the little palace maid serving in the outer room saw him but did not try to stop him. He was raised by the Queen Mother and had done a great job in protecting her master, so his treatment was higher than theirs.
Duoduo coiled around Xuanfeng's neck and jumped onto Lianyi's bed. Lianyi smiled and asked:
"How's your investigation going?"
Duoduo shook the flower disk and twisted the flower path a bit before telling Lianyi the results of their investigation:
"Master, this Liang Da Ying is not pregnant."
"Huh? She was pretending? And she bribed the imperial physician?"
This was the only scenario Lianyi could guess.
Duoduo was now certain that what she had done was foolproof, so she was in a very good mood. In addition, she had waited for another day and had made some small gains, so she immediately replied:
"Master, that Liang Da Ying is not pretending. She really believes that she is pregnant. The imperial physician also diagnosed her with slippery pulse. Since he made the diagnosis, he will definitely be responsible for Liang Da Ying's pregnancy."
"Then you have confirmed that Liang promised that she is not pregnant."
"Yes, she is not pregnant with any offspring."
Duoduo answered with certainty.
After thinking about it, Lianyi guessed a possibility, false pregnancy. Although this situation did not occur frequently, it did not mean that it did not exist.
The main reason is that Liang Bin, the mother, has always wanted to get pregnant. When the brain receives her hint, it subconsciously adjusts the body towards pregnancy to create the illusion of pregnancy, which leads to vomiting, loss of appetite, and even obvious slippery pulse.
But fake is fake, and it can’t be concealed for long.
Lianyi expressed her guess, and Xuanfeng and Duoduo both said that they had learned something new.
"Master, now that it's proven that she was faking her pregnancy, how will she end up? Although she didn't actively deceive, it's the fact. This is a crime of deceiving the king."
Tornado said, wagging his tail.
"That depends on what she wants to do. Duoduo, help me keep an eye on her."
"Yes, Master!"
On the night when Liang Da Ying was promoted to Liang Pin, the emperor went to accompany Liang Pin. Although the emperor did not do anything because she was less than three months pregnant, he was very gentle and caring, making Liang Pin's face glow and even her morning sickness was much less.
Three months later, Liangpin's pregnancy was stable, so she came to see Lianyi immediately.
Unfortunately, Lianyi announced to the harem one day in advance that she was ill. She exempted all the concubines from paying respects and stayed at home to recuperate. Even Concubine Liang blocked the door. She did not even step into the gate of Fengqi Palace.
Because long before this, Duoduo had sent back the news that Concubine Liang had discovered that she was not pregnant, but now it was too late to back down. The imperial physician Bai who took her pulse had his hair turned white with worry. She had clearly had a slippery pulse before, so why did it disappear afterwards?
He even suspected that Concubine Liang had a miscarriage, but Concubine Liang ate well, slept well, and everything was normal. It didn't look like she had a miscarriage at all.
Now both of them were anxious. This was a crime of deceiving the emperor, a crime that neither of them could escape. In the end, Concubine Liang was bold enough to stage a scene of being secretly murdered and having a miscarriage, so as to absolve herself of her guilt and gain the emperor's favor.
However, Liang Pin, the object of the frame-up, thought for a long time before deciding to go after the Queen. After all, the woman in the harem was the most dissatisfied with the Queen, and now only the Queen had a child. She wanted to keep this one and only child, so she had a reason to do something to the child in her belly. However, her conspiracy was known by Duoduo.
After Lianyi learned of the other party's plan, a sneer flashed across her face. He was so shameless. It was clearly his fault, but he wanted to put the blame on others. Since that was the case, she would help the other party.
"Duoduo, you do this"
"Yes, Master!"
After Lianyi closed Fengqi Palace on the pretext of recuperating, the emperor also received the news. After leaving court, he went straight to Fengqi Palace. After all, she was his queen, and it would be a bit unreasonable for him not to visit her when she was sick.
However, the emperor was stopped outside Fengqi Palace, and he vaguely smelled a strong scent of Chinese medicine in the palace.
Nanny Sun met the emperor with a pair of dark circles under her eyes. She said nothing but knelt down and apologized.
The emperor was surprised for a moment, and then asked Nanny Sun to stand up and answer. After all, this was the housekeeper who was employed by Lianyi, and she was brought from the border. Nanny Sun also represented General Meng, so her attitude was very important.
"Madame Sun, what happened? Why can't I see my queen?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Empress is currently guarding her three children and dares not leave."
"What happened to Hongji and the others?"
When the emperor heard that it concerned his own prince, his face became a little more serious.
"Your Majesty, someone has mixed smallpox-stained socks into the clothes of the three princes in an attempt to assassinate them!"
"What?"
