Chapter 159 Palace Search

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lively New Year was over, and the Great Yan Dynasty ushered in a new year.

Jiang Xinyue's due date is in April. Counting the days, she will give birth in two months.

Shun'an Palace -

Concubine Liang was restless, and Ye Guiren, who lived in the same palace with her, saw it most clearly.

But she didn't have a good relationship with Concubine Liang, so she could only let the palace maids go to find out privately.

She really found out something.

Ye Guiren's eyes lit up instantly, as if she thought of something, and smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

"Oh my! Little Tuanzi kicked me again."

Xi Que took her hand off Jiang Xinyue's big belly, jumped excitedly, and rubbed her hands: "It seems that His Highness Tuanzi likes me very much!"

Nanny Li and Nanny Xiang laughed happily: "You are used to flattering yourself. Every day after the Queen's meal, the little prince is very lively. You deliberately picked this time. Who else would he kick if not you?"

Everyone in the room laughed.

Jiang Xinyue looked at the sky outside, raised her head and exchanged glances with Nanny Xiang.

In Shun'an Palace, Concubine Liang walked back and forth in the room with an excited look, her face flushed with excitement.

"Shuxiang! Should I go to the Emperor or the Empress?"

Shuxiang bowed and waited aside: "I think, Your Majesty, you should tell the Empress first, and kill first and report later, so that the Emperor will not miss the old feelings and let Concubine Zhen go easily." "

You are right!"

Concubine Liang paced anxiously: "The Emperor is completely bewitched by that vixen, and she is pregnant. She is so sweet-talking that the Emperor may not be willing to punish her. It is better to go to the Empress first. The Empress is the master of the harem, and she should also be clear about the responsibilities and rights of the harem."

Although the Empress did not say it clearly, as the number one licker under the seat of Empress Zhu, she felt that the Empress had already had the intention to kill Concubine Zhen.

In this case, why doesn't she give the Empress a push?

When the emperor starts to blame her, she will not suffer any loss because the empress will still be there to hold up the sky.

At most, Zhenpin will hate her even more.

Anyway, Zhenpin already knows that she wants to harm her child, and she will not let her off easily. What does it matter if she hates her even more?

If this succeeds, no matter how much Zhenpin hates her, she will not have the chance to seek revenge on her.

That is the art of witchcraft! It

is a serious crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of a clan, and Zhenpin cannot get away with it with just a word.

"Hey? What are you doing? You can't go in! My queen is still taking a nap."

"Quick! Go find the emperor, the empress and the concubine Liang are not here with good intentions."

Jiang Xinyue had just woken up from a nap when a burst of noise came from the Hexi Palace.

She got up and put on her clothes. As soon as Xi Que opened the door, she was roughly pushed away by an old maid. She fell to the ground and her palms were bruised.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Jiang Xinyue supported Xi Que, her face full of fear, as if she had done something shameful and was about to be discovered.

"Search for me!"

"Who dares?"

Jiang Xinyue protected Xi Que behind her, standing in front of Empress Zhu and Concubine Liang. Her open arms and protruding pregnant belly blocked the guards who were about to rush in to search.

"Your Majesty, this is Hexi Palace, my chamber. You brought so many guards with you, but you didn't say anything and just barged in to search the palace. What do you mean? I didn't do anything wrong. Even if you, Your Majesty, came in person, you can't search my chamber at will." Empress

Zhu took two steps forward and touched her belly: "Concubine Zhen, do you think I won't dare to do anything to you just because you're pregnant?"

Jiang Xinyue didn't give in and still opened her arms to block him.

She just wanted to try and see if Empress Zhu was sincere or just trying to get her to take good care of the baby and not blame her.

"Someone, pull Concubine Zhen away."

Several burly maids stepped forward with a smirk on their faces: "Concubine Zhen, I'm sorry!"

As they spoke, they were about to twist Jiang Xinyue's arms.

"Pa!"

The leading nanny was slapped by Jiang Xinyue first. She cursed with full force: "Where did you come from, you dog slaves? How dare you let me down? If you dare to touch a hair of mine, I will make you pay for it."

This woman is not just talking nonsense to scare people. She even dared to kill the daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat. These old slaves were really scared by her shouting.

"Useless things."

Empress Zhu also felt that Jiang Xinyue was dead this time. She was too lazy to pretend to have a deep sisterly love. She said in a loud voice: "I am still here! What can she do to you? Do you think I, the queen, am dead?"

It means that no matter what happens, the consequences will be borne by her, the queen, so they can just go ahead and don't worry about anything else.

Several maids mustered up their courage again to pull Jiang Xinyue away. At this time, Li Mama, Xiang Mama, Jiang Chuan and Xiao Xuanzi all heard the noise and ran over. Li

Mama and Xiang Mama stood in front without hesitation: "Empress, is there anything that cannot be said in a nice way? The Emperor ordered me and others to take care of Concubine Zhen here, and she will not be allowed to get hurt."

"Empress, Concubine Zhen is already eight months pregnant. You don't want Concubine Zhen to be hurt by the rude palace servants at this time, do you?"

In the end, if something went wrong, wouldn't the Empress have to bear the consequences?

The Emperor would not forgive anyone who hurt Concubine Zhen.

Empress Zhu smiled and said, "As the Empress, I have the right to search the palace of a guilty concubine. You two maids are also old people in the palace. Don't you know the palace rules?"

Jiang Xinyue pushed Maid Li away and said, "The Empress keeps saying that I am a guilty concubine. May I ask what I have done that makes the Empress so disrespectful and dare to break into my bedroom?"

"Someone reported to me... saying that you, Concubine Zhen, are practicing witchcraft in the palace and cursing the Emperor and me to die a bad death!"

"What?"

Jiang Xinyue's face changed, which made Empress Zhu and Concubine Liang feel that this was true.

"I have never done such a thing."

"Whether it was done or not, we can only know after the search."

Queen Zhu pushed Jiang Xinyue away, and the guards behind her rushed in, turning everything over as soon as they rushed in.

Jiang Xinyue staggered two steps after being pushed by the Queen, and the magpie acted as a human cushion, causing Jiang Xinyue to fall on herself.

Concubine Liang snorted and looked at her with disdain: "Concubine Zhen, you're on your own! Wusu...will be beheaded."

She stared at Jiang Xinyue's belly meaningfully: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk...you are pregnant with a dragon seed after all, and I will help you beg the emperor to let you give birth to the sixth prince before you die. By then, let him be a little follower of my daughter Yu'er, which will be his honor."

Her words had already predicted that Jiang Xinyue would die, and she actually wanted a dignified prince to be a slave to the princess.

"Puh!"

He spit on Concubine Liang's face: "You are dreaming."
