"Your Majesty, what did the prince say in the letter?" Nanny Song looked at the queen, whose face was becoming increasingly gloomy and whose chest was heaving.
The Queen's impatience grew even more intense. "This good brother of mine, for Concubine Song's sake, scolded me harshly in his letter, saying that I was cruel and jealous, that I had failed the Song family's teachings, and that I was not worthy of being the mother of a country!"
"The prince...did he really say that to you?" Nanny Song was also shocked. "How is that possible? The prince and you are siblings. You treat him so well. How could he scold you for an outsider?"
Nanny Song wanted to take a look at the letter, but it was torn into pieces and she couldn't see anything.
"Is this really the prince's handwriting? I wonder if someone is interfering."
Not to mention that Song Yu and Song Xi were not that close, it’s just that Song Yu himself was not a nosy person, and he would not care about such palace affairs.
"How could I not recognize his handwriting? It's only when I recognize it that I feel heartbroken."
"Who do you think I'm doing this for? Isn't it all for him?"
"As a result, his elbow turned outward."
"What's the point of me being the queen?"
She's called the queen, but how is she any different from Song Xi? Isn't she still a puppet of the Song family?
Actually, Song Xi is better than her. She has been taught by her mother since she was a child that every move she makes should be like that of a lady from a noble family, and she dare not make any mistakes.
Song Xi is different. Her mother is particularly indulgent to Song Xi. Although her original intention is not good, Song Xi really lives a happy life.
Now that she has entered the palace, Song Xi can act as she pleases. Even if she is disrespectful to her elder sister, her mother will just ask her to endure it until Song Xi has a child.
But what if Song Xi never had children? Wouldn't she have to endure Song Xi forever?
If Song Xi had a child, then...
She closed her eyes. By that time, the emperor would no longer be of any use to her. But could she guarantee that she would always be of use and not be abandoned?
Her younger brother didn't seem to appreciate at all the kindness she had shown him in the past.
Maybe Song Yu will still hate her because she killed Song Xi.
After all, she had been in the palace for three years. During these three years, perhaps the relationship between the brother and sister Song Yu and Song Xi was even stronger than hers.
Unlike the emperor, who has been good to her all these years, it was Song Xi who instigated the conflict.
At this moment, the queen doubted for the first time the teachings she had received in the past. Can family really be a woman's lifelong support?
Or is it something used to bind a woman to serve the family for her entire life?
When the queen was confused, Jiang Yi planned to add fuel to the fire between the queen and Song Xi.
Jiang Yi went to find Concubine Song and gave her some cakes he made himself.
Concubine Song naturally didn't think much about it. She had been particularly favored recently and just thought that Jiang Yi was trying to curry favor with her.
As for the cakes, she certainly wouldn't eat them.
Jiang Yi casually went to talk to Concubine Song and accidentally got the fake pregnancy powder on her body, then left.
Less than half a month later, when the concubines went to pay their respects to Queen Song, Concubine Song looked not very good and very pale.
These days, the emperor no longer went to Concubine Song's place, but he often visited the queen and treated her as before.
Queen Song felt much better, but the more she felt this way, the more the question lingered in her mind and took longer to go away.
After all, the emperor treated her so well, but her mother and brother might not be able to do the same?
When Queen Song saw Concubine Song looking so weak, her previous indignation faded away. After all, compared to Madam Song and Song Yu, she had never done anything for Song Xi.
Queen Song said calmly, "But you're not feeling well. Didn't you call the imperial physician?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Song suddenly covered her chest and began to retch.
Queen Song's face suddenly turned bad. Looking at Concubine Song's appearance, a guess suddenly popped up in her mind.
Concubine Song looks like this, could she be pregnant?
Queen Song originally wanted to ask the imperial physician to check on Concubine Song, but after seeing her condition, she gave up the idea and said, "Go back and have a good rest."
After the concubines left, Queen Song's expression became even more gloomy.
Nanny Song stepped forward and said, "If Concubine Song is really pregnant, then this is a good thing."
"When Concubine Song becomes pregnant, you won't have to tolerate her anymore."
"Furthermore, if you are really pregnant, you should be promoted to Concubine Song."
Queen Song felt even more upset after hearing this. Even if they followed their previous plan to promote Song Xi after she had a child, she would still not be qualified to raise the prince.
At that time, she could legitimately adopt the child into her own fold, and after some time, she could just leave the mother and keep the child.
But now Song Xi is already a concubine.
Nanny Song guessed what Queen Song was thinking, and she couldn't help but comfort her: "After all, Concubine Song is going to die, so her position is not important."
Empress Song still had other concerns in her mind, but she couldn't say them to Nanny Song, so after thinking for a moment, she said, "Alright, let the imperial physician quietly take Concubine Song's pulse first, and we can discuss the rest of the matter after the results come out."
After Concubine Song returned, she continued to feel unwell, so she quickly called the imperial physician.
Jiang Yi also came to visit her.
The imperial physician hurried over to feel Concubine Song's pulse and quickly said, "Concubine Song is pregnant."
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Concubine Song's originally sickly face. "What did you say? Am I really pregnant?"
Jiang Yi also hurriedly said, "Congratulations, Concubine Song."
Concubine Song also murmured, "No wonder I couldn't eat these past few days. It turns out I'm pregnant. I'm going to tell His Majesty the news."
She was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to inform the emperor.
Jiang Yi said, "Song Jieyu is indeed a blessed woman, but why don't you tell the Queen about this news? After all, the Queen is Song Jieyu's biological sister. If the Queen knew about it, I think she would be even happier."
After being reminded by Jiang Yi, the joy on Concubine Song's face inevitably faded a little.
Of course, she did not forget that she had originally intended to give the child to Queen Song for adoption.
This was nothing to worry about. The Queen treated her very well when they were in the boudoir, but after entering the palace, she discovered that things were completely different.
She had only been in favor for two days before the Queen couldn't stand it anymore.
When she thought about giving the child she had carried for ten months to the Queen, Concubine Song felt reluctant and her original happiness disappeared.
Moreover, with the way Queen Song treats her now, it is not certain whether she will be allowed to live once she is no longer useful.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Yi said goodbye and told the queen the news.
The queen knew that she could no longer keep the matter secret, and thinking that there were still ten months before the birth, she decided to just leave it as it is for now.
When the queen told the emperor this, the emperor was still a little dazed.
How could Concubine Song get pregnant?
