Now everyone can see that Jiang Rongxi and the Imperial Concubine are not on good terms, but regardless of the Imperial Concubine's power in the palace or the strength of her brother outside the palace, they all chose to stand on the Imperial Concubine's side.
After all, the imperial concubine had been in the palace for many years, and she quickly changed her attitude.
"Indeed, my sister has worked hard to take care of His Majesty, and now... you must take good care of yourself and give His Majesty a big, fat boy next year."
Everyone's expression changed and they all looked at Jiang Rongxi's belly. Could this bitch really be pregnant?
Rong Xi guessed that she must have known it, and smiled at her even more brightly.
"Your Highness, you're joking. I've only been in the palace for a short time, so how could I expect to have a child so soon? But it's my sister, the Empress Dowager, who has high hopes for her."
"I am not as blessed as my sister. Your Majesty is in my sister's palace every day. I believe that good news will come soon."
.
Everyone's conversation ended here, and everyone returned to their palaces with heavy faces.
Concubine Ning was thinking about what had happened during this period all the way.
This Concubine Chun is just a new concubine in the palace. No matter how much His Majesty favors her, it is impossible for him to take away the Imperial Concubine's power to assist in managing the six palaces just because of a simple punishment of kneeling.
There is only one possibility, Jiang Rongxi is really pregnant, and it is very likely that this is because the imperial concubine almost had a miscarriage.
She accidentally discovered the truth of the matter, but she was also very panicked at this time.
If this is true, and Jiang Rongxi gives birth to a child, then Jiang Rongxi will become the future queen of Dai Viet.
I always humiliate her openly or secretly. If she really has the possibility of becoming the queen in the future, I will definitely be the first one to be attacked.
She turned back halfway, only to find that Concubine Li, who had just left, was also with Concubine Zhao.
"Your Highness, I have discovered a secret."
When Concubine Zhao and Concubine Li exchanged glances, they probably guessed why she had rushed back in such a hurry.
"What secret?"
Ningpin looked around to make sure no one else was there, then she moved closer to them and whispered
"I suspect that Concubine Chun may actually be pregnant."
Concubine Zhao never expected that Concubine Ning, who always seemed stubborn, could also discover this.
"How did you find out?"
Concubine Ning was so busy explaining the reason for her discovery that she didn't notice at all that the two people next to her weren't at all surprised to hear that Concubine Chun was pregnant.
After she finished speaking, she took a sip of tea and said, "My Lady, I doubt this is true. What should I do?"
"Of course I'm happy for His Majesty. This is the only child the harem has had in many years. If she can successfully give birth to this child, then you and I will have to pay our respects to her in the future."
"Aren't you angry, my lady?"
"Why are you angry? We should be happy for His Majesty."
"But once she gives birth to a child, that position will belong to her in the future. You have carefully taken care of the harem for so many years, so why don't you just give up this position?"
"So what? His Majesty loves her. Sister Ningpin, whether it's her or you, as long as you are pregnant, you can sit in that position. You should also work hard. Maybe I will have to pay my respects to you in the future."
"this……"
After Concubine Ning left, Concubine Li sneered, "I didn't expect that Concubine Ning really had a brain this time."
"It's hard for her."
"Your Majesty, what should we do next? What Concubine Ning said does make some sense. Are we really going to let her take that position?"
"It's still early, and we don't know yet."
"Your Majesty, why don't we spread the news? After all, it was Concubine Ning who discovered this."
"Then you better be careful not to be discovered."
In fact, Concubine Li did not really intend to do this herself. She said this just to let the Imperial Concubine do it herself.
However, after the imperial concubine responded in this way, Li Guiren suddenly realized that she might not be able to escape this responsibility.
She originally just wanted to shirk her responsibility, but now she had to do it herself. This made Concubine Li feel annoyed but helpless.
Rong Xi watched their conversation from the system interface. It seemed that it wouldn't be long before the news of her pregnancy would be known to everyone.
Rong Xi was lying lazily on the chaise longue when Zhizi came in from outside carrying a bowl of medicine.
"My Lady, take the pregnancy-maintaining medicine."
Rong Xicai brought it over, and before the system prompted her, she smelled something mixed in the medicine.
"Gardenia, please ask Doctor Wen to come over."
"Madam, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, please don't tell anyone about going to ask Doctor Wen."
"yes!"
When Doctor Wen from the Imperial Hospital heard that Concubine Chun wanted to see him, he was so scared that he ran to Rong Xi with his medicine box.
"How is the queen?"
Zhizi looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she quickly invited Doctor Wen in.
Rong Xi saw someone coming in and pushed the medicine bowl on the table over.
"Doctor Wen, please take a look at this bowl of medicine. I feel that the smell of this medicine is different from the ones I had a few days ago."
Doctor Wen didn't dare to delay. He bent his body and took two steps forward. He picked up the medicine bowl on the table, put it to his nose and smelled it. His face changed instantly.
"Well, your Majesty, this medicine is indeed different from the ones from a few days ago. A large amount of safflower has been added to it. If your Majesty hadn't discovered it, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Gardenia and Ling'er next to them were also frightened. This medicine was brewed in the small kitchen in the palace, so how could it be tampered with? It seemed that someone in the palace had already betrayed their master.
"Doctor Wen, please don't tell His Majesty about this for now, and don't make it public. Just remember this."
"Yes, my lady."
Rong Xi trusted Doctor Wen, so he asked him to come over.
In fact, she had just learned from the system that the medicine was tampered with by Concubine Zhao who bribed the maids in her palace.
But this little evidence is not enough to bring down Concubine Zhao, so she can only wait.
Zhizi and Ling'er were frightened by this incident. They were the personal maids responsible for taking care of the Empress. If something happened to the Empress, one could imagine what would happen to them.
The two of them cleared out all the people in the palace again, and even put trustworthy people in the small kitchen.
The emperor came to Rong Xi as soon as he came back from court. He was afraid that the coldness in his body would pass to her, so he warmed himself outside before going in.
"Xi'er, I'm back. Look what I brought you."
Rong Xi came forward and looked at the box in his hand. Her first thought was whether there was silver in it.
But this box is too small. Even if there are banknotes in it, it can't hold much.
"Your Majesty, what's in here?"
"Open it and see if you like it."
When Rong Xi opened it, she found a box full of pearls, which were big and round, and the color was particularly good. She liked it very much.
"Wow! I like it. Thank you, Your Majesty."
The room was still very warm, and Rong Xi was not wearing much, so her slightly protruding belly could already be seen.
"Did the child bother you today?"
"No, he's very good."
