Not long after, the emperor received news from the secret guards that Concubine Chun had executed a palace maid.
The emperor was full of doubts. Rong Xi had always been very kind to the palace maids in her palace, and it was impossible for her to execute someone just for stealing something.
"Go and check. I want to know everything."
"yes!"
The secret guard left quickly. The emperor was still worried about Rong Xi, so he came to her before finishing his official duties.
"Xi'er, I heard that you executed a palace maid, but this palace maid made you unhappy."
Rong Xi's eyes dodged and he pulled his hand out of the emperor's.
"Your Majesty, this maidservant is dishonest. She stole the hairpin Your Majesty gave me. That's why I'm punishing her."
The two of them had been together for so long that the emperor naturally saw the hidden secret in her eyes. Since she was unwilling to say it, he would check it out himself.
The weather gradually got warmer and Rong Xi's belly grew bigger.
I had severe morning sickness in the past two months. I couldn’t eat anything and lost a lot of weight.
The emperor was also very worried, so he put the pressure on the imperial kitchen. Endless delicacies were brought into Rong Xi's palace, but after a while, they would be brought out again intact.
The emperor was very troubled by this. He was worried that Rong Xi's body would not be able to bear it. The baby in her belly was growing slowly. If she still couldn't eat anything, the health of both mother and child might be damaged.
The emperor lay on Rong Xi's belly and listened to the fetal movement. The belly was more than three months old and he could feel it clearly.
"My dear, you should be more obedient and stop torturing your mother. Look, she has lost weight recently."
Rong Xi sat on the couch with his hands behind his back.
"Your Majesty, he doesn't understand anything."
The emperor straightened up and said, "Xi'er, thank you for your hard work."
"Your Majesty, I, your concubine..."
Before Rong Xi could finish speaking, Eunuch Jin Su came in from outside.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has sent someone to invite you, saying that she wants to discuss the selection of concubines in a few days."
The emperor subconsciously didn't want Rong Xi to hear about this. He hadn't been to any other palace since Rong Xi entered the palace. If it weren't for the imperial edict, he wouldn't have wanted to participate in the selection at all.
Seeing that her expression didn't change, he discussed with her, "Xi'er, I'll go over there and come back to accompany you later."
"Your Majesty, please go. I will wait for you."
Rong Xi's understanding and obedience made the emperor feel more and more guilty, but he had to go and do it without delay.
.
In the imperial concubine's palace.
The best tea, snacks and fruits have been prepared, and the imperial concubine herself has been carefully dressed up.
When she was young, she always liked to wear green to show her good skin, but since she entered the palace, she has liked red.
She can't wear bright red, so she always wears clothes that are neither red nor pink.
Today she specially wore the same style and color as when she first met His Majesty in the palace, her face full of anticipation and joy.
"Lin Dong, do you think His Majesty would like me to be like this?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty will definitely like it."
Although Lin Dong said this, things depend on human efforts and the result is what matters most.
The emperor arrived very quickly. He hadn't been here for a long time, and he felt a little strange.
As soon as I entered the palace, I saw the imperial concubine standing at the door in a green dress, just like her youthful appearance.
"Your Majesty."
The emperor also softened his tone for once. Although he had no feelings for the imperial concubine, they had been together for so many years that they were like family.
"Get up."
When the two of them entered the palace, the scene he had imagined of the imperial concubine reminiscing about the past was not there. Instead, she kept talking about the beauty pageant in a few days.
"Well, please take care of the selection."
He felt that the imperial concubine had become more beautiful today, and the more he looked at her, the more he felt that she looked a bit like Rong Xi.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"
"No."
He took the imperial concubine's hand and walked into the inner room, and what happened next was a natural progression.
Lin Dong quickly asked someone to guard the door and not see anyone who came.
Also cleaned up things that shouldn't be there.
Rong Xi, who was still waiting for the emperor to return, also closed the system interface at this time.
The system didn't know what to say at this time [Rong Xi, how are you? ]
"What's the deal with this, system, fake pregnancy pills."
The system was puzzled. Rong Xi was almost three months pregnant, so what was the point of taking fake pregnancy pills now?
"System, you do this, then that, then this again."
System【Okay, Rong Xi! 】
Ever since she crossed over to this world, she had never entertained the naive idea that the emperor was still a novice.
As an emperor, if he has no offspring, then the kingdom he has worked so hard to build will be handed over to others.
Therefore, when she learned that the target of her mission was actually the almighty emperor, she had already prepared herself mentally.
After all, as a man with three harems and six courtyards, how could he still maintain his virginity? This is simply a fantasy!
She knew that the emperor would not come tonight, so she fell asleep immediately.
The emperor was stopped outside the door when he came to Rong Xi after court the next day.
"Your Majesty, our queen said that she is very tired today and wants to have a good rest."
The emperor's expression changed slightly. What happened last night hurt her heart.
"So how did your queen sleep last night?"
"Your Majesty went to bed very early, but you are pregnant after all, so you may be a little sleepy."
The emperor knew that these were all excuses that the little girl made for not wanting to see him.
"Then tell your queen that I will come to see her later."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The emperor was turned away, but he didn't get angry. He returned to his palace and called the imperial physician to take his pulse. He also called a few secret guards to investigate what happened last night.
"Your Majesty, this..."
The imperial physician was hesitant to speak rashly.
"Just tell the truth."
"Your Majesty's body contains the scent of Hehuan Powder and several aphrodisiac and hallucinogenic drugs. These drugs will make your Majesty unconscious and may even damage your dragon body. Your Majesty should use them with caution."
From the rise and fall of the emperor's chest, it could be seen that he was extremely unhappy. With a casual wave of his hand, the imperial physician trotted away.
The emperor didn't expect that the bitch, the imperial concubine, would dare to drug him. No wonder his consciousness was so vague last night. Her face turned into Rong Xi's and then her own.
At the same time, the people sent to investigate the matter have returned.
Things were pretty much as he thought; it was all arranged by the imperial concubine behind the scenes.
"Okay, very good!"
Since he dared to plot against him so blatantly, as an emperor, how could he tolerate someone plotting against him behind his back?
Moreover, at this important moment when Rong Xi was pregnant, if Rong Xi had any problems because of this matter, he wouldn't mind sending her down to reunite with her father.
The emperor was turned away for several days in a row, and the empress dowager knew about it. She called the emperor to her palace, asked everyone to leave, and scolded the emperor severely.
"Emperor, how did you make Concubine Chun angry? Do you know what her situation is like? She is the only precious girl in the palace. If anything bad happens to her, you will regret it later."
"My son was wrong. Please, mother, help me to speak well of Xi'er."
