Chapter 68 Concubine Wan is pregnant
The Queen looked at Concubine Wan meaningfully, and Concubine Wan also glanced at the Queen secretly. When their eyes met, they nodded slightly in tacit understanding and then turned their eyes away.
Both of them felt that the other had analyzed the situation in front of Tianbao while they were away.
But in fact, the reason why Tianbao was so sure was that after she fell into the water, she inadvertently saw the eyes of the little palace maid and the little eunuch.
The little palace maid was obviously frightened and anxious, and she really wanted to pull them all ashore.
The young eunuch frowned, glared at the young palace maid, and then pretended to go over and rescue her.
The young eunuch was quickly brought over. After paying his respects, he knelt on the ground and dared not utter a word, but he secretly glanced at the young palace maid with a suspicious look.
"Tell me, who ordered you to murder the little princess?" The tyrant emperor sat down to drink tea. Because Tianbao was there, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth out of habit, but every word he said was cold and without any warmth.
The young eunuch glanced suspiciously at the young palace maid again: "I...I did not commit murder..."
"Bang!" The tyrant emperor slammed the table.
After taking the photo, he quickly looked at the little sweet baby and winked at Concubine Wan, asking her to bring him into the inner hall.
Tian Bao hurriedly grabbed Concubine Wan and yelled in a baby voice, "Did someone threaten you? I remember you, you are a good person!"
The little palace maid shuddered violently and dared to look at the little princess in disbelief.
How is it possible that the little princess actually remembers her?
Shortly after the little princess was born, she was raised in Lingxiao Palace for a period of time, during which time she served as one of the palace maids. Later, the little princess was poisoned by the venom on the wild peach pit bracelet, and her family was nearly executed. It was the little princess who identified the culprit.
Later, their group was dropped out of Lingxiao Palace.
The little palace maid was so shocked that her eyes suddenly became wet.
The little sweet baby was still taken away, but the attentive queen noticed the unusual reaction of the little palace maid, so she winked at Huaying and took the little palace maid away alone.
Now, the young eunuch who was trying to think of a way to warn her was at a loss, and his palms were sweating with panic.
"Still talking!" The tyrant emperor had no patience and looked at Zhang Fujin.
Zhang Fujin understood and asked his apprentice to call two imperial guards to drag the man away.
"Wuwuwu..." Concubine Xian was so frightened that her scalp went numb. She always felt that the young palace maids and eunuchs would insist that she was the one who secretly instructed them to do so.
"You just know how to cry! Go to the cold palace and cry!" The foolish emperor hadn't slept all night and had a headache after hearing this.
The virtuous concubine's crying stopped, and her tears flowed even more happily.
The queen sighed helplessly and reminded the emperor: "There is no room in the cold palace."
"Then... confine you to your home for one year and deduct your salary for one year! Go back and cry!" The foolish emperor rubbed his brows, with a rage burning in his heart.
The virtuous concubine felt very aggrieved and she hugged the eldest prince and cried silently.
The Queen winked at her and ordered someone to help Concubine Xian back first. Concubine Xian had indeed been very active in the past two years, but she was a simple person and had never done anything big.
"Your Majesty, is the person who interrogated that eunuch reliable? Don't let him fail the interrogation..."
The tyrant emperor opened his eyes and waved at Zhang Fujin: "You go and keep an eye on it. This time we must find the real culprit!"
Xiao Si, who had been hiding behind a pillar and eavesdropping, frowned worriedly. He knew very well that if Zhong Dequan was caught, his future would be very difficult.
If he wants to develop his own power, he must be tied together with Zhong Dequan.
Without his mother, he is now just an insignificant and fallen prince.
While he was thinking, Zhiqiu ran out in a panic. Xiaosi hurriedly grabbed her and asked, "Is Tianbao feeling unwell again?"
"Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine suddenly vomited, and the little princess followed suit."
Xiao Si loosened his grip, threw away his worries, and hurried inside.
Tianbao vomited out the few mouthfuls of porridge and the spring roll he had just drunk. Concubine Wan also covered her chest and kept dry heaving, with tears in her eyes.
The imperial physicians are currently consulting patients.
When the Emperor and Empress arrived, the Imperial Physician examined the patient again, hissing breathlessly. Then he stood up and saluted the Emperor and Empress: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, this is a pregnancy pulse."
The tyrant king subconsciously looked at Tianbao. He already had a daughter, so he no longer expected to have another child. If he had another child, it would most likely be a son. "Where's Tianbao?"
"Your Majesty, the little princess is fine. She must have felt nauseous after smelling something foul."
The emperor heaved a sigh of relief and forced a fake smile at Concubine Wan: "Since my beloved concubine is pregnant, she should go and rest. You don't need to stay by Tianbao's side to take care of her."
Concubine Wan couldn't help but feel upset. She was too familiar with the emperor's fake smile. It was obvious that he was afraid that she would vomit again and cause the little sweet baby to vomit as well.
She forced a smile, turned around and left Lewan Palace, heading towards the cold palace.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, she wanted to wish Concubine Dong a happy new year.
Concubine Dong was roasting sweet potatoes with Xiao San and Xiao Jiu. Ever since Concubine Dong moved into the cold palace, no one came to please her anymore, so she had some free time.
Seeing Concubine Wan coming, she looked towards the door of the cold palace for a long time: "Is Tianbao okay?"
Concubine Wan nodded: "The fever has subsided, but there is still a slight fever."
"Have you cried?" Concubine Dong led her over to warm herself by the fire, and the Third Prince personally brought sweet soup for Concubine Wan to drink.
After taking a bite, Concubine Wan felt nauseous and retched for a long time.
Concubine Dong was surprised and asked, "You...are pregnant?"
Concubine Wan nodded silently: "Yes."
Concubine Dong sighed and silently stirred the charcoal in the fire. "Look at you, you're so heartbroken. I told you long ago that after entering the palace, you can find something to do, anything is fine, reading, embroidery, writing... just don't fall in love with him. You just won't listen. Why fall in love with him? Haha, his body is probably the dirtiest man in the world."
From Concubine Dong's expression to her tone, everything was filled with contempt.
Concubine Wan looked around and found that the palace maids had quietly retreated away. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister. I belong to him. He treats me so gently. How can I..."
How could she not fall for him, surrounded by romance, tenderness, and affection? Her body was his, and naturally her heart was his too.
Concubine Dong shook her head and said nothing more.
While the two were chatting idly, someone hurried to the cold palace and whispered to Zhiqiu for a while.
Zhiqiu sighed and said to Concubine Wan, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has just punished Concubine Xian to be sent to Jingxin Temple, and the eldest prince has also been punished to guard the imperial mausoleum."
"How could this happen?" Concubine Wan was simple and couldn't think straight.
Concubine Dong frowned, "Could it be that Tianbao falling into the lake is related to Concubine Xian?"
"The eunuch confessed. It was Concubine Xian's brother who pushed the woman. The Emperor ordered his brother to be arrested, and he confessed."
Concubine Dong shook her head: "The Xianfei family is all brainless, hurting others and themselves. They are a whole family..."
Concubine Dong was silent for a moment, too lazy to mention the word "Emperor".
Imperial Concubine Wan knew the truth and asked for her, "How did the Emperor deal with Concubine Xian's family? He wouldn't..."
Seeing blood on the first day of the new year doesn't seem to be a good omen.
"They were all exiled. The little princess said that if someone was wrongly accused, the emperor would be able to make amends in the future. He shouldn't just execute the entire clan without any reason."
Concubine Dong looked at Concubine Wan and secretly felt lucky that her little sweet baby was independent-minded, unlike her silly mother.
Her thoughts couldn't help but drift back to the year when Concubine Wan first entered the palace...
