Beauty Shen’s voice was so unusual and obvious that it attracted almost everyone’s attention.
One of the concubines who disliked Concubine Shen said sarcastically, "Oh, if you didn't know, you would have thought Concubine Shen was pregnant. What a pity. She occupied Your Majesty for so long, but there was no movement. Or, are you dissatisfied with the Empress?"
A big hat was suddenly put on Shen Meiren.
Lady Shen gritted her teeth, thinking of the child in her belly, and could only force herself to endure it, "I ate the wrong thing last night, and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable."
Ning Yu, however, was not going to let her go, her face full of concern, "Since Lady Shen is feeling unwell, why don't you quickly call the imperial physician over? Lixiang, why don't you quickly take this palace's card and ask the imperial physician to come over."
Concubine Shen's back stiffened for a moment, and she quickly refused, "Your Majesty, it's not necessary. I am fine."
Concubine De glanced at the Queen and suddenly said, "Beautiful Lady Shen, you don't look very well. Let the imperial physician take a look at you. Why don't you thank the Queen?"
Now that Concubine De had said this, Concubine Shen could only bow to Ning Yu and say, "Thank you, Her Majesty, for your concern."

When the imperial physician saw that it was the senior palace maid beside the queen, he thought something had happened to the queen and hurried over with his medicine box.
After the imperial physician finished his greetings, he saw that the queen had a rosy complexion and bright eyes, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If the Empress gets sick, His Majesty will not let the Imperial Hospital off the hook.
That's why the imperial physician was so anxious.
Ning Yu slowly put down the teacup and said slowly, "Doctor Xia, Lady Shen is feeling unwell. Please come and take a look at her."
Doctor Xia cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Doctor Xia took Lady Shen's pulse and his eyelids twitched. The pulse was smooth and fluent, like a round bead rolling on a jade plate.
This, this is clearly pregnancy!
Normally, any pregnancy of a concubine in the harem should be reported to the queen. Judging from her pulse, she is clearly five months pregnant.
Doctor Xia suppressed his emotions, pretending to know nothing, his face filled with joy, "Congratulations to the Queen, congratulations to Lady Shen, Lady Shen is now five months pregnant!"
These words were like a few drops of water falling into a frying pan, instantly exploding among the concubines.
The eyes of many concubines fell on Concubine Shen's belly. Due to the wideness of her robes, they could not see anything. Then they looked at Concubine Shen again, and their faces became a little rounder.
Lady Shen is really good at hiding.
De Fei also understood at this time. No wonder the Queen suddenly wanted to drink tea. Judging from the Queen's expression, it seemed that she had already known that Concubine Shen was pregnant.
Concubine Li snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen concealed her pregnancy and must be severely punished. If the sisters accidentally bump into Concubine Shen, we cannot bear the consequences."
The Queen glared at Lady Shen, her expression faintly dignified, "Lady Shen, do you have anything to say?"
Lady Shen raised her head to meet Ning Yu's gaze and said softly, "Empress, His Majesty knows about this."
The concubines looked at the Queen, and originally thought that Ning Yu would show a trace of sadness. After all, when the Queen had a miscarriage, His Majesty even brought the memorial to Kunning Palace in order to take care of the Queen, and ignored Concubine Shen.
It turns out that Lady Shen is already pregnant!
His Majesty had deliberately concealed it, and this kind of favoritism was extremely rare in the harem.
“Since His Majesty knows that Concubine Shen is pregnant, there is no need to send anyone to inform her.”
The Queen acted as if she hadn't heard anything, her expression calm. "Beauty Shen concealed her pregnancy, violating palace rules. Considering the heir, I will punish her by making her copy the palace rules a hundred times."
The punishment is light and harmless.
But in the eyes of Lady Shen, it was undoubtedly a slap in the face in front of so many concubines.
She is pregnant with the dragon heir! And she is also your majesty's savior!
How dare the Queen treat her like this?
Beauty Shen’s heart was filled with humiliation, but she had no choice but to agree.
The night is dark.
Ning Yu looked at the bright yellow figure stepping through the threshold, without the slightest bit of surprise in his heart. He slowly saluted towards Xiao Yan, "Your Majesty, are you here for Lady Shen?"
There was a hint of awkwardness and bitterness in the tone.
The emperor understood and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Is the queen jealous?"
Ning Yu pursed her lips, her jade-like face showing annoyance, and she didn't want to pay attention to the emperor.
"Concubine Shen is pregnant after all, so it's inconvenient for her to copy the palace rules. I will forgive her." The emperor hugged Ning Yu's slender waist and sighed softly, "The imperial physician said that this baby is a prince, and the ministers of the previous dynasty are also urging her to give birth. Perhaps the queen understands me?"
Ning Yu lowered her eyelids, and her thick eyelashes hid the sarcasm that flashed across her eyes.
Then why did he have the little prince drowned!
Obviously, that is his son!
Ning Yu raised her eyes, and quietly broke free from the emperor's arms. She picked up the teacup and handed it to Xiao Yan, her voice as sweet as a nightingale's. "I understand your majesty's thoughts, but when I think of my child who just died, I don't want to see Lady Shen. Your majesty, am I too mean..."
Xiao Yan took the teacup and drank it slowly, then comforted her, "It's nothing, this has nothing to do with you. I will order Lady Shen to stay away from you."
Ning Yu seemed satisfied when she heard this, and smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I am too narrow-minded. After all, Lady Shen is pregnant and needs Your Majesty's company even more."
The emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, I will leave now. Queen, you should get some rest."
"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell."
Until the tall figure disappeared in Kunning Palace, Lixiang walked over, helped the queen up, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Your Majesty, why did you push His Majesty to Concubine Shen?"
"Because I don't need it." Ning Yu put away the smile on her face and glanced at the teacup that had been sipped. "Lixiang, take the tea."
Lixiang didn't quite understand what the empress was thinking, so she had to do as she was told.
After Li Xiang left, the system's mechanical voice rang out in Ning Yu's mind, "Host, you are truly cruel. You actually gave the emperor a sterilizing drug. But as long as you're happy, that's all."
After all, it also earns points.
The currently bound host rarely purchases things from the mall, so it’s great if it can be opened a few times.
Ning Yu's eyes were filled with sharpness instead of a smile. "The emperor killed his own son to consolidate his power. So it's not too much for me to drug him in revenge..."
The system couldn't help but shudder. The host was so cruel.
The system suddenly thought of something, "Host, you have given the Emperor a sterilizing drug, so he can no longer help you complete your mission."
Ning Yu didn't care at all. "Who says I have to find the emperor to give birth to my child? I can just find another man."
The system was stunned.
Although the host has no memory since experiencing the previous world, the changes are slightly bigger.
"System, can you help me see if there are any guards of better quality?" If you really want to have a child, it's more convenient to find a guard than a man.
The system coughed and said, "Don't you want to consider Chu Hewang?"
