Chapter 135 Calculation
Yaohua Palace.
"My queen, do you want to die on the city wall like His Majesty's Bai Yueguang?!"
Xitong widened her eyes and exclaimed in a low voice, her face full of disbelief.
Is this really not a fantasy?
Shen Yuning lay lazily on the beauty couch, covered with a fox fur blanket.
He just glanced at her indifferently, with a mysterious look in his eyes, but said nothing.
Xi Tong put away the shock on her face and frowned as she advised: "Your Majesty, if you jump off the city wall, you will really die. Besides, if you die, what's the point of getting the position of empress?!"
She looked anxious and almost went forward to grab Shen Yuning to ask her to give up this dangerous and ridiculous idea.
Shen Yuning, however, just stared at Xitong.
This system is definitely not very smart. No wonder it failed to complete the mission it was carrying out for the original owner. It might have also given the original owner a lot of bad advice. It is unreliable.
"First of all, I will not let myself die. Jumping off the city wall is just to let Quan Minghe feel the pain again, realize my importance, and cherish the person in front of him."
"How else can I fight with someone who has died?"
Shen Yuning was speechless when she thought of this. She had never thought that she would compete with herself for the position of emperor and empress.
"Besides, Liu Shihan hasn't been dealt with yet, how could I possibly die? I want to live and become Quan Minghe's empress, and then before the ceremony of establishing the empress, I will adopt Liu Shihan's third prince under my name."
There was a certainty in Shen Yuning's tone that she was determined to win.
"When I become the empress, I will be able to legitimately take back all the power in the palace. By then, Liu Shihan will not only lose a child, but also have no one to rely on. Do you think she will be so angry that she will go crazy?"
"The moment I became the empress, Liu Shihan fell into hell."
Shen Yuning narrowed her eyes slightly, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
She has always had clear goals and knows the situation in the palace very well.
Although Quan Minghe likes her somewhat now, Liu Shihan has two princes, and the eldest prince is already tied to some court officials. How could Quan Minghe deprive Liu Shihan of her palace rights for no reason, and it is even more impossible for him to deal with her without any reason.
But if I became the empress, the Third Prince would only be three years old. As long as I did a thorough job of keeping his mouth shut, it would be easy for me to make the Third Prince not recognize Liu Shihan as his mother.
The fight between her and Liu Shihan has reached a life-and-death stage, and she will not show mercy to her enemy.
Xitong blinked her round eyes and praised sincerely: "It's high, really high!"
"But my lady, how are you going to jump off the city wall without dying?"
"What's so difficult about this? I will find a way to let Ye Jinshu catch me under the city wall."
"Quan Minghe watched me jump from the city wall. He hadn't recovered from the heart-wrenching pain yet. After he thought I was dead, he found that I was caught by Ye Jinshu and didn't die. But at that time, I showed an appearance of dependence and attachment to Ye Jinshu."
"Tell me, how would he feel? And what would he do?"
"I don't know how he feels, but he will definitely offer you the throne of empress with both hands to make you happy and win your heart back."
Shen Yuning chuckled and said jokingly, "If he still doesn't give me the position of empress, I will simply elope with Ye Jinshu, humph."
She has already thought clearly about how to act when the time comes.
"But that's not the point."
As Shen Yuning spoke, he subconsciously touched his chin, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"The most important thing is that I have to find a reason to be heartbroken before I jump off the city wall."
Shen Yuning muttered to herself, and suddenly seemed to think of something. She turned her head to look at Xitong and ordered, "Go call Zhou Qi."
“Yes.”
Xitong responded, then turned around and went out to invite Zhou Qi.
Not long after, Zhou Qi came over.
Shen Yuning was sitting on the couch wearing warm winter clothes. The clothes were made of thick material and looked quite elegant and luxurious, making her look even more graceful.
"Your humble servant greets your Majesty."
As soon as Zhou Qi entered the room, he bowed respectfully.
"Get up."
Shen Yuning raised her hand slightly.
Afterwards, he gave Xitong a look without making any expression. Xitong turned around and took all the palace servants out of the room, then gently closed the door.
Shen Yuning took a sip of tea slowly, then raised her eyes to look at Zhou Qi.
She said calmly, "I want to fake a pregnancy."
The tone was calm, but it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples in the house.
Zhou Qi, who was sitting on a round stool nearby, was so frightened that his face suddenly changed. After a long while, he stammered, "My queen, this..."
He was really surprised by the queen's bold idea.
Shen Yuning looked at him calmly, and said with a half-smile: "Can't do it?"
Zhou Qi regained some composure and said carefully, "My Lady, this... if we rely solely on drugs to achieve the effect of false pregnancy, the risk is too great."
"Not to mention that the drugs may not be able to realistically simulate the many symptoms and pulse conditions of pregnancy, the damage to your body caused by indiscriminate use of drugs is immeasurable."
He frowned and analyzed the interests involved seriously.
"Is there no other way?"
Shen Yuning was not dissuaded by his words and kept asking, obviously determined to fake a pregnancy.
Zhou Qi lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"My lady, if you want to conceal your true identity, there is a very secret method."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Shen Yuning leaned forward slightly and looked at Zhou Qi intently.
"There is a kind of virtual pregnancy Gu in the Western Regions. If it is introduced into the body, it will change the state of the body's qi and blood circulation in a short period of time, and the pulse will show signs of slippery pulse similar to pregnancy."
"It's just... it's just that the effect of this insect can't last too long, only about a month at most."
Zhou Qi explained, his face full of caution.
"After this virtual pregnancy Gu enters the human body, it will release some special substances, which is the reason why the circulation of qi and blood in the human body is changed."
"But the human body itself has the ability to prevent diseases. There is a special outer membrane on the surface of the virtual pregnancy Gu. With this outer membrane, it can temporarily protect itself from being attacked by the human body."
"But after a month, the outer membrane will gradually be eroded, and the life span of the false pregnancy Gu will come to an end. At that time, the pulse of false pregnancy will naturally disappear."
The reason why he knew all this was because his master Su Heling traveled all over the country in his early years and dabbled in medicine, poison, and witchcraft.
He often studied the experiences left by his master, which enabled him to learn a lot about these niche knowledge.
Shen Yuning raised her eyebrows.
One month?
That's exactly what I want.
Zhou Qi added: "Few people know about this kind of insect. If the queen wants to use this method to fake pregnancy, it should be the safest way."
"How do I get this pregnancy poison?"
This is the key. If we can't get this poisonous insect, everything will be just empty talk.
Zhou Qi thought for a moment and said, "You can ask General Ye to get it for the queen."
Shen Yuning frowned: "No, this matter is between you and me, and you must not let anyone else know, understand?"
She still had to act in front of Ye Jinshu, and she couldn't let him know about this.
Although Zhou Qi's eyes were filled with doubt, he did not dare to ask more questions. "Yes, I will get it for the queen through Master's connections. Just tell the public that Derentang needs to use Gu worms as medicine. Then buy some ordinary harmless Gu worms and mix the pregnancy Gu into them. This way, it will not arouse suspicion."
Shen Yuning nodded with satisfaction.
Then he ordered: "After I diagnose you are pregnant, you will tell His Majesty privately that I have always had a cold body and a weak body. I can't bear the pain of pregnancy at all. If I give birth to this baby, I am afraid that the mother will die."
Zhou Qi responded, "Well, if you say so, even if the queen has a miscarriage later, His Majesty will not doubt it."
Shen Yuning did not explain further, she had her own plans in mind.
She didn't want to have a miscarriage herself, but wanted Quan Minghe to abort the baby himself.
Only in this way will I have a reason to jump over the city wall.
A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She then picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea leisurely, as if everything was under control.
