Chapter 359 Pregnant Again
Because Tianji only accepts Tianji's secret orders when doing things, and in order to protect absolute confidentiality, nothing they do will be recorded.
This secret order had already been sent out of the palace by Song Zhao and handed over to Xiao Jingyan for safekeeping.
Whatever she needed to do in the palace, she only needed to secretly send a message to Xiao Jingyan, and Xiao Jingyan would then find someone to go to Tianji to do it, and get the matter done safely and without leaving any trace.
Even if the truth is revealed one day, and the matter is investigated layer by layer, there is no way to uncover the mastermind behind this, Song Zhao.
After receiving Song Zhao's instructions, Yunshan responded calmly and said:
"It's getting late, miss, why don't you go to bed early?"
Song Zhao nodded calmly and lay down on the couch.
But just as Yunshan was about to blow out the oil lamp, he suddenly heard Song Zhao retching for no reason.
Yunshan hurried forward, helped Song Zhao up, and gently stroked her back.
"Miss, you are..."
This nauseating feeling of dry heaving was too familiar to Song Zhao.
He was so familiar with the situation that he hardly needed a doctor to diagnose it. Song Zhao was 80% to 90% certain about it.
She was probably pregnant again.
This was not unexpected. She was at the right age, and she had been receiving divine favors since she lost her memory.
If you continue to receive so much rain and dew, it is not surprising that you will get pregnant again.
Song Zhao was not surprised by this. Instead, he was calm and asked Yunshan calmly,
"Who is on duty at the Imperial Hospital tonight?"
Yunshan said, "It's Doctor Zhang."
Hearing that it was him, Song Zhaocai agreed with relief, "Let's call him over."
Song Zhao summoned Dr. Zhang to come quickly.
After entering and taking Song Zhaoxi's pulse, he quickly confirmed the pulse condition.
Doctor Zhang showed a look of joy, bowed, took two steps back, and bowed to Song Zhao, saying:
"Congratulations, Madam. It is indeed a pregnancy pulse, and it has been more than a month."
Song Zhao nodded calmly and said casually:
"It's late tonight. I'll have to trouble Doctor Zhang to tell the emperor tomorrow morning."
The next day, after Xiao Jingheng heard that Song Zhao was pregnant, he hurried to Changle Palace.
When he came, the joy and excitement on his face could not be suppressed.
Seeing that Song Zhao, who was sitting on the warm seat, was about to stand up to greet him, he quickly walked to her side and gently pressed her shoulders.
"I have said that you and I do not need to observe these monarch-subject etiquettes."
After saying this, he sat down next to Song Zhao and held her delicate hand tightly in his palm.
"That's great, Zhao'er. We have a child again."
Song Zhao was stunned at first, but soon he smiled helplessly and said, "Xiao Lang is well-informed. I originally wanted to keep it a secret and give Xiao Lang a surprise. For this reason, I deliberately asked Doctor Zhang not to tell Xiao Lang about this for the time being. I didn't expect that he promised in front of me, but turned around and went to talk to the emperor."
Xiao Jingheng laughed heartily, "No matter when I know about this happy event, I will be happy. In this case, of course, the sooner I know, the better."
Song Zhao lowered his eyes shyly, and said with half joy and half worry:
"I was very happy, but also nervous. People say that the pain of childbirth is like walking through the gates of hell. I forgot about the past. Even though I am already a mother, I am still afraid."
Xiao Jingheng hugged her tighter, "Don't be afraid, I will be with you."
Song Zhao nodded slightly, then raised his eyes and looked at him clearly, "I think it would be great if we could have a prince this time, then Xiao Lang and I would also be blessed with both a son and a daughter."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingheng frowned slightly.
But she soon recovered as usual and smiled, "Of course a prince is good, but a princess is also good. Zhao'er, you don't have to put so much pressure on yourself. As long as our children are here, I like them all."
After a brief moment of joy, Song Zhao's expression became increasingly lonely and he looked depressed.
Xiao Jingheng asked her, "Why does Zhaoer look so worried about such a happy event?"
Song Zhao frowned and shook his head, whispering, "I heard about Concubine Yao... I wondered if the punishment was too severe for her, but I couldn't understand why Concubine Yao wanted to harm me when she was so close to me."
After a pause, he asked again, "Did I offend her in some way in the past?"
Xiao Jingheng hurriedly shook his head to deny, "Never. She treated you like this because of jealousy."
"Is it because of jealousy that you have to do this..." Song Zhao's expression became more and more gloomy, and he held Xiao Jingheng's hand tighter, "Xiao Lang, I am really scared."
She nestled in Jamel Xiao's arms, her long, dense eyelashes trembling slightly, looking so fragile and uneasy.
Xiao Jingheng comforted her from time to time, and then heard her say:
"After I woke up, the only people who served me were Yunshan, Xiaofuzi, Chunhua and Qiuyue. Those poisonous butterflies killed Chunhua and Qiuyue that day. I was very sad to see them die with their eyes wide open. I have been unable to sleep at night lately. Whenever I close my eyes, I think of what happened that day..."
Xiao Jingheng said, "The dead are gone, Zhao'er, don't feel too sad. Chunhua and Qiuyue's sudden death was really an unprovoked disaster. If you want to have peace of mind, I can have someone come to the palace to hold a ritual for them to help their souls rest in peace. I hope they can live a prosperous life in the next life."
According to what Xiao Jingheng said, Song Zhao agreed, and Xiao Jingheng handed the matter over to Xiao Yinzi.
The next day, when Xiao Yinzi came to Changle Palace to discuss the details of the ritual with Song Zhao, Song Zhao inadvertently mentioned,
"Since we have invited a magician to the palace to pray for the souls of the dead, I want to think about not just focusing on Chunhua and Qiuyue. Last month, three imperial concubines and imperial concubines died in Shoukang Palace one after another. Let the magician go to Shoukang Palace as well to pray for the souls of the dead."
Xiao Yinzi agreed repeatedly and said that Song Zhao was kind-hearted.
Song Zhao smiled faintly, and suddenly mentioned,
"Don't forget Concubine Song. Although I don't remember who she is, she and I are from the same clan."
After these words were spoken, Xiao Yinzi was confused.
He frowned, scratched the back of his head, and asked in confusion:
"Mrs. Song? Who are you talking about? You are the only concubine with the last name Song in this palace."
