Chapter 152: Danger During Pregnancy
Shu Fei seemed to be chatting with Song Zhao, but every word she said was of vital importance.
Now that Song Zhao has lost his family background, it would be extremely difficult for him to be promoted again.
Therefore, giving birth to a son right now is her only chance.
But her child was born three months after the Queen and Concubine Xiao's child, so there was no way Song Zhao could have given birth before them.
Shu Fei was a smart person, and she also understood human nature very well.
Although Song Zhao used to be a non-competitive person, every child is a mother's weakness.
So Shu Fei thought that even if Song Zhao did not plan for her own future, she would easily have the wrong idea for the sake of the child.
If Song Zhao had taken her words to heart,
So whether Song Zhao hurt Concubine Xiao or was so bold as to plot against the Queen,
Shu Fei could hide behind and watch the fight between tigers, and reap the benefits.
Later, Yunshan came in to add more tea for them, and Shufei stopped talking.
In order to show her intimacy with Song Zhao, she talked to her for a long time.
Seeing that Song Zhao was a little tired, he said:
"Then take a good rest, sister. I will go back first."
Just now, when Yunshan was serving tea outside the door, he accidentally heard two words from Shu Fei.
After Concubine Shu left, she said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty Shu's words are too obvious to suggest incitement."
Song Zhao smiled, "She is a smart person. She said it so clearly because she wanted me to listen. As for what I choose to do after listening to her, that is my decision. What does it have to do with her?"
Yunshan said, "Every word she said was provocative, and of course the queen would not listen to it. But she was right in one thing. Now the four corners of the harem are complete. Even if the queen gives birth to an heir in the future, she will be implicated to some extent because of the suffering of her mother's family. It will be difficult for her to advance to a higher position."
Song Zhao picked up the teacup and took a sip of fresh milk, then smiled calmly and said:
"Since the position of a concubine has all four corners, then I will let it be missing one corner, and let it vacate the position for me."
At this time, Xiao Fuzi also rushed back.
Yunshan was surprised when she saw him and asked, "Changle Palace is the closest to Xianshou Palace. Why did you take so long to deliver the Buddhist scriptures to the Queen Mother?"
Xiao Fuzi smiled evilly, opened his empty sleeves and waved them in front of the master and servant.
Then he suddenly put his hand near Yunshan's ear, frightening Yunshan so much that he took two steps back unconsciously.
"You idiot! What are you doing?"
"Hehe~"
Xiao Fuzi waved to Yunshan, and Yunshan saw that a sachet appeared out of thin air in his hand, which originally had nothing in it.
Xiao Fuzi was a magician. In the past, when there was nothing to do in the palace, he would always perform magic tricks to please Song Zhao and Yunshan.
Yunshan saw that he was not serious and rolled his eyes at him, "Why do you look like a fool? I... huh?"
Before he could finish his teasing words, Yunshan saw clearly the pattern of a unicorn holding the sun on the sachet in his hand.
She widened her eyes in surprise. "Isn't this Concubine Shu's sachet? Why is it here with you?"
Xiao Fuzi and Song Zhao looked at each other, smiled at each other, and then presented the sachet to Song Zhao.
Song Zhao held the sachet and weighed it. "Is it neat?"
Xiao Fuzi patted his chest and looked very confident. "Your Majesty, have you forgotten how fast my hands were when I performed magic tricks for you before? I ran into Concubine Shu outside the door, and I got the things in just one look. Naturally, she didn't notice it."
Yunshan became even more confused after listening to this. "Oh my! Madam and Xiao Fuzi are playing charades with me again!"
Song Zhao smiled, "The Queen Mother never asked me to copy Buddhist scriptures. Do you understand now?"
Yunshan thought about it, and suddenly a starlight flashed in his eyes. He clapped his hands and said:
"So the Buddhist scripture you gave Xiao Fuzi just now actually said that he should steal the scent bag of Concubine Shu?"
Song Zhao smiled and nodded.
As for what exactly is the use of this sachet?
Song Zhao naturally had her arrangements.

The next afternoon, the weather was exceptionally sunny.
Xiao Jingheng said that he would call Song Zhao to go to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the flowers together.
The person who came to deliver the message was Xiao Yinzi. Upon hearing this, Song Zhao said, "Please wait for a moment, eunuch. I will go and choose some clothes."
After Song Zhao was promoted to the position of concubine, she could ride in a sedan chair when going out.
The sedan chair in her palace was given by Xiao Jingheng himself, and the inner wall of the sedan was covered with pepper scent.
Xiao Jingheng said that he could not openly give Song Zhao the favor of the imperial concubine, so he used this as a substitute to show their good feelings for each other.
Xiao Fuzi asked the palace servants who were carrying the sedan chair to leave it outside the main hall and wait, and then she took Xiao Yinzi to the side hall to drink tea.
He was a kind person and served Xiao Jingheng's favorite, so it was natural for him to get along well with the people in the imperial court.
For example, Xiao Yinzi gets along very well with him in private.
As they sat down to drink tea, Xiao Yinzi asked him, "I will go out of the palace to do some shopping next month. If you have anything to bring back, please let me know in advance."
Xiao Fuzi said, "That's great. Please help me go to Caidiexuan to buy a pearl hairpin with orchid pattern."
Xiao Yinzi joked, "Why? You haven't expressed your feelings to Miss Yunshan yet?"
"Nonsense..." Xiao Fuzi patted him lightly on the shoulder, then laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I'm a eunuch, what else can I expect? She can leave the palace at the age of 25, and I hope she will be well. During the time she is still in the palace, I just want to protect that silly girl and make sure she doesn't make any mistakes."
After chatting for a while, Zhihua came to report:
"The queen has already got into the sedan chair, so we can go."
Then Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Yinzi accompanied Song Zhao's sedan chair and rushed to Chaoyang Palace.
But before they had walked a few steps, the sedan bearers in front of them slipped on the corridor at the corner.
The sedan was shaken off and smashed to the ground with a loud bang.
"ah!"
A scream of pain came from the sedan chair, and everyone panicked instantly.
"My queen! Are you okay?"
Xiao Fuzi asked about Song Zhao's situation, and the palace servants carrying the sedan chair were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"This slave deserves death! This slave deserves death! This... This corridor seems to have been spilled with oil for some reason, this slave..."
Xiao Yinzi also became anxious, and then he noticed the reflective ground hidden under the shadow of the red wall.
"Hey, this, this... It's all right! How come there is oil on the corridor? Concubine Yi, are you okay?"
"It hurts... My stomach hurts so much!"
Xiao Yinzi saw with his own eyes how hard the sedan chair fell.
With such a loud noise, even if a living person was thrown down like that, he would be injured, not to mention that Song Zhao was pregnant?
At this moment, Song Zhao's weak voice came from the car. His voice was a little distorted due to the pain.
Xiao Yinzi was so frightened that his face turned pale. "What should I do?"
Xiao Fuzi immediately pushed him and said, "We have to carry the queen back to the palace and call the imperial physician for treatment. Go and tell the emperor!"
"oh oh!"
Xiao Yinzi agreed hurriedly and crawled all the way to Chaoyang Palace.
Xiao Fuzi asked the palace servants to lift the sedan again and shouted loudly to the people inside:
"Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune and the protection of the gods. Nothing will happen to you! Just hold on!"
