Rong Xi lowered his head, looking like he wanted to say something but didn't dare to, which made the Queen Mother even more confused.
"Xi'er, just tell me, did someone bully you? Tell me and I will take care of it for you."
Rong Xi pretended to be moved and hesitated for a while before speaking again.
"Your Majesty, I am worried..."
"What are you worried about?"
"I'm worried. I'm worried that the baby in my belly is a girl. I know how important this child is to Your Majesty. I also know that Your Majesty and the Queen Mother really want him to be a son. But what if..."
Ever since the Queen Mother heard that she was pregnant, she had always believed that she was carrying a son.
Perhaps she was too expectant and had completely forgotten the possibility that Rong Xi could give birth to a daughter, but when she said this today, she was indeed a little worried.
But she still took Rong Xi's hand and patted it soothingly.
"Xi'er, you don't have to feel so stressed. Whether you have a boy or a girl, I will recognize them as the emperor's children. Before this child came, I didn't even hold out any hope. Regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl in your belly, I will love them dearly."
The Queen Mother really hoped that she could give birth to a son. After all, there really was a throne to inherit in this family, but she also knew her son's situation, and this was enough.
Rong Xi didn't expect that this old lady was quite open-minded.
She returned to her palace and began to count the banknotes again, but as she counted, she began to feel nauseous.
She vomited so much that she almost vomited out all the bile, and she didn't eat much at lunch.
The emperor came in a hurry after finishing his work, and was heartbroken to see her in such pain.
"Xi'er, I'm here."
Rong Xi had just vomited and was feeling very uncomfortable. She raised her eyelids to look at him and then continued to sleep.
The emperor sat quietly beside her, and only after she fell asleep did he ask Jinsu to move the desk over, where he wanted to review the memorials.
.
Now many people inside and outside the palace already know that the emperor's concubine is pregnant, so the Shangshu Mansion naturally knows about it as well.
Jiang Heng originally didn't know that the pregnant person was his daughter. He only knew that someone in the palace was pregnant.
But today is the third person who came to congratulate me. Even if they didn't say it explicitly, the implication I revealed has made it clear to me that the pregnant woman in the palace is related to me.
I think it was only that rebellious girl who made him both happy and angry.
At the beginning, she followed His Majesty into the palace without even saying goodbye. If His Majesty had not sent someone to tell him on the third day, he would have thought that this rebellious girl was out having sex again.
He had already thought about how to punish this rebellious girl, but he didn't expect to receive such news.
Now that she has found a husband, it is worth it that he raised this rebellious girl.
The next day, he asked his wife to deliver a letter to the palace, saying that she wanted to meet Concubine Chun.
If possible, let her speak well of him in front of His Majesty. Her legitimate brother should be promoted, and her legitimate sister, if it weren't for what happened before, how could her legitimate sister have been broken off from engagement.
The more he thought about it, the more he imagined that her child would become a prince after he was born, and later become a monarch, bringing honor to the family.
But the post I submitted the next day was directly returned.
"What are you talking about? Concubine Chun doesn't want to see us. How is that possible? I'm her father."
"Sir Shangshu, this is what my aunt said when she replied from the palace."
"Impossible, father-in-law, please help me bring this note in. This may be a mistake. I am her father, and this, this is her mother."
The young eunuch didn't dare to stay any longer and left immediately.
Jiang Heng was so angry that he threw the post on the table and cursed the rebellious girl.
The Shangshu's wife next to him sneered. He still couldn't see clearly and was still dreaming about the Duke. Jiang Rongxi ignored him at all.
"Master, maybe Xi'er is not feeling well. Pregnant women are always tired, and she is not pregnant yet. Let's wait for a while before going to see her again."
"Tired, how tired! Which woman doesn't get pregnant? Which woman doesn't give birth to a child? She's just spoiled and troublesome. I'm her father, and she dares to treat me like this."
Rong Xi read all of this through the system and dropped the cake in his hand into the jade plate with a snap.
How stupid is her father? Even her wife has seen the situation clearly, but he is still dreaming.
"Gardenia!"
"The servant is here."
"Send this letter out of the palace and hand it to the Minister's wife personally."
"I will go right away."
.
The end of the year has passed and the draft is approaching.
The emperor didn't want to use this matter to affect Rong Xi's mood, but he did issue an imperial edict after all.
So when Concubine Zhao asked him to discuss this matter, he still went over.
But the slightly cold look in his eyes when he looked at her made Concubine Zhao think that she had done something wrong.
"My Lady, how long have you been in the palace?"
"Your Majesty, I entered the palace at the age of sixteen, and it has been fifteen years now."
"What do you think of this palace?"
Concubine Zhao didn't know what His Majesty meant, but she still answered very carefully.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Palace is naturally a good place. It is a place that people all over the world yearn for."
"Is this also the place you long for?"
"Your Majesty is joking. Wherever Your Majesty is, that's where I long to be."
"Noble Concubine, I consider that I have treated you with respect over the years because of your father. I will not pursue the past, but I hope you will do what you should do in the future."
When Concubine Zhao heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, what did I do wrong? Please tell me clearly."
"You're on your own."
The emperor left, but Concubine Zhao was still kneeling on the ground and didn't get up. She was wondering what she had done wrong and what the emperor meant by his words.
Lin Dong quickly came over to help her up, "My Lady, the ground is cold, please get up quickly."
"Lin Dong, do you think His Majesty has discovered something?"
"Your Majesty didn't do anything, how could His Majesty find out?"
"Yes, I didn't do anything."
But in the afternoon, a piece of cake containing abortion pills appeared in Rong Xi's palace again.
Rong Xi loves to eat these days, and there are always various pastries prepared in the small kitchen. Today, Rong Xi was greedy and stopped just as he picked up something.
The system also gave a timely reminder, "Rong Xi, this cake is poisonous."
It really seems endless. I checked the system and found out that she is a new maid in the palace.
Zhizi knew there was something wrong with the pastry from Rong Xi's actions, and quickly took it over, "Your Majesty, let's tell His Majesty."
"No need. Just say she stole my things and drag her out and beat her to death."
"yes."
Gardenia was terrified just thinking about it. If the Queen didn't understand these things, and if she had really eaten all the cakes and pastries containing various poisons and abortion drugs over the past month, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It’s no exaggeration to beat this bitch to death.
But what she was most worried about was that killing the palace maid would only relieve the worry temporarily, and the person behind it was the biggest hidden danger.
Rong Xi was naturally aware of this, but this was probably not enough to move the person behind the scenes.
