Chapter 314 What is the fault of the child?
Ziwei Pavilion.
Dong Lanxin lazily leaned on the couch, her belly bulging. She held a bronze mirror in her hand, looked at the light spots on her forehead in the mirror, and sighed softly.
Nanny Li comforted her, "Your Highness, it is common for a woman to have spots on her face when she is pregnant. You don't have to worry. His Highness the Crown Prince is deeply concerned about the Crown Prince, and his feelings for you will not fade because of this."
Dong Lanxin curled the corners of her lips slightly, but her smile was somewhat disdainful.
She stretched out her hand, and Nanny Li immediately came forward and helped her sit up.
Dong Lanxin's eyes lingered on the table, on which was placed the medicinal food that Biyu had just brought. The medicinal food had already gone cold, but Dong Lanxin had no intention of drinking it.
At this time, Dong Zhu, who had changed his clothes, walked in, followed by Imperial Physician Zhu who came to take his pulse.
"Your Majesty, Biyu from Qin Liangyuan's place deliberately sent me away just now. I really saw it..." Dongzhu told her everything she had seen outside the pharmacy just now.
Imperial Physician Zhu, who came in with Dong Zhu, was terrified and his face changed. He never expected that someone would be so bold as to give medicine to the Crown Princess who was about to give birth!
Zhu, the imperial physician, kowtowed and said with a worried look on his face, "Your Majesty, among the supplements that Zhou Liangdi sent you last time, there was already a drug that could cause you to have a miscarriage. Now this has happened again. Forgive me for being frank, but the precautions of the Eastern Palace are really..."
Imperial Physician Zhu didn't say anything else, but his thoughts were written on his face.
The Crown Princess was pregnant with the eldest son. If it was a boy, he would be the eldest grandson of the Emperor! The East Palace couldn't even provide this kind of protection, and drugging happened repeatedly. It was ridiculous!
Zhu, the imperial physician, endured for a long time, but could not help it any longer. "Your Majesty, I know that you are about to give birth. You must rest and take care of the baby. You can't take care of many things. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rarely asks about the affairs of the inner court. If it really doesn't work, I will go and talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
Dong Lanxin smiled faintly, asked Dong Zhu to help Zhu Imperial Physician up, and took a seat.
"Doctor Zhu, your wife is my cousin. You and the Dong family have always been together and you really care about me. Of course, you are the only one in the Imperial Medical Bureau whom I trust the most."
Dong Lanxin's gaze fell on the bowl of medicinal food, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, her fingers gently stroked her lower abdomen, and she smiled inexplicably.
"Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt the baby in my belly.
This time, I am going to open a hole in the inner courtyard, so that those who covet my child can jump out one by one...
Dong Lanxin raised her chin and pointed to the medicinal food on the table.
"Come on, let's see what surprise our Qin Liangyuan has brought to me this time."
Imperial Physician Zhu understood and carefully picked up the bowl of medicinal food with both hands and sniffed it carefully, even taking a small taste, and then took out various tools for testing poison from the wooden box he carried with him.
Slowly, his eyebrows became more and more furrowed.
Dong Lan's heart became even colder, "How?"
Imperial Physician Zhu pondered over it for a long time, and finally put down the bowl slowly.
"My lady, there is nothing in this bowl of medicinal food that is harmful to you and the fetus."
Dong Lanxin was slightly startled, and listened to the imperial physician Zhu continue:
"Moreover, a herb was added to it that can neutralize the toxicity of the medicine Zhou Liangdi gave me last time."
Lian Dongzhu couldn't help but ask him in surprise if he had made a mistake.
Imperial Physician Zhu was very confident and said that he would definitely not be wrong.
After a long time, Dong Lanxin finally held her forehead with her hand and chuckled helplessly, and the coldness in her eyes slowly faded away.
"This Qin Liangyuan... is really interesting."
Dong Lanxin thought for a while, then said to Dong Zhu, "I remember when I first diagnosed the pregnancy, all the concubines in the East Palace sent rare treasures, except Qin Liangyuan, who sent a Buddhist scripture."
Dong Zhu nodded, "I remember that it was the Buddhist scripture that Qin Liangyuan copied personally."
After a long time, Dong Zhu finally took out the dusty Buddhist scripture from the corner of Ziwei Pavilion, carefully blew away the dust, and handed it to Dong Lanxin.
Dong Lanxin flipped through two pages, then raised the corners of her lips slightly, speaking in a playful tone.
“I never believe in ghosts or gods, but I appreciate her kindness.
Dongzhu, in two days we will go to the palace to visit our aunt, and take this with us."
"yes."
…
"Is it settled?"
Qin Yuwei was sitting by the window, playing the newly learned guqin. When she saw Biyu coming back, she asked.
"Don't worry, ma'am, it's all done."
Qin Yuwei said "hmm" softly and continued practicing the new song.
Biyu hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said, "My lady, I don't understand."
"What's wrong?" Qin Yuwei did not stop her hands.
Seeing that there was no one around, Biyu hesitated for a moment before she said, "Your Majesty, don't you want to compete for favor? Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince favors you now, if the Crown Princess really gives birth to the Emperor's eldest grandson...
Since the queen has discovered that there is something wrong with the supplements sent by Zhou Liangdi, even if she pretends not to know, if something goes wrong in the future, it will not be blamed on the queen. Why should she spend a lot of money to go outside the palace to find an antidote?"
a long time.
Qin Yuwei then stopped pressing the strings of the zither, and the sound sounded like a sigh again.
"I've never been afraid of fighting with anyone, but what's the crime of this child?"
"Your Majesty is just too kind-hearted." Biyu pursed her lips and said in a low voice. Her tone did not sound like praise, but rather a bit of complaint.
"Good-hearted?" Qin Yuwei chuckled, raised her head and looked at Biyu, and asked her: "Do you think that since the Crown Princess has lost her child, I will have a chance to take that position now?"
Not to mention the Crown Princess, there is also Zhou Liangdi above him.
The Crown Princess’s cousin is the current Queen, with the entire Dong clan’s power behind her. Zhou Liangdi has the Imperial Guards behind her, but what does she have?
The only people he could rely on were his classmates and friends from the previous dynasty. However, they had just started their official careers and were unable to compete with the important officials and aristocratic families in the court.
If she made a mistake in the East Palace at this moment, not only would no one be able to save her, but she might become a burden to everyone.
Now he could only proceed step by step steadily. After Yan Xiuyun successfully ascended the throne, Lanlan and others would serve as his support in the previous dynasty, and he would become their helper in the palace. The best strategy would be to complement each other.
Biyu continued, "I still don't understand. Although Zhou Liangdi's position is higher than yours, if His Royal Highness knew that she drugged the Crown Princess, how could he let her go? You are now hiding your actions from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and not telling the Crown Princess. I really don't understand."
If the Crown Princess had a miscarriage, Zhou Liangdi would definitely be punished, and even dethronement would be the least of her crimes. In this way, both of them would suffer, and wouldn't the Queen's chance be over?
However, Biyu didn't dare to say these words out loud, and could only secretly look at Qin Yuwei's expression.
