Chapter 112 The Queen's Plan

"Your Majesty, I have always hoped to give birth to a child for you. If I knew I was pregnant, I would definitely not dance for you."

Sun Miaoqing knew that the emperor was kind and gentle to women, so she didn't care that she was only in her pajamas. She quickly got out of bed, knelt in front of the emperor, and explained with tears in her eyes:

"I have heard that pregnant women often have nausea and vomiting. I have never had these symptoms and I didn't even know I was pregnant."

"Your Excellency's words are a bit too strong."

Nian Shilan said in a long voice, "Last month, you were nauseous and vomiting at Concubine Cao's place. The sisters were suspicious and asked the imperial physician to diagnose you. It was you and your imperial physician Wei who said that you were not pregnant."

"Besides, morning sickness varies from person to person. Even if there is no nausea and vomiting, don't you know whether your sister has her period?"

At this point, Nian Shilan said "Oh~" and suddenly realized:

"Since entering the Yuanmingyuan, the Emperor has been busy with government affairs and has shown less favor to Sister Gong. Sister Gong would not have thought of something bad just to win temporary favor, thinking that she is young and healthy..."

This statement was easy to refute, but as soon as Sun Miaoqing opened her mouth, the Queen looked disappointed and said:

"My dear, you are confused!"

"I……"

The emperor's eyes were cold and grim. "Very good."

Sun Miaoqing shook her head repeatedly, "No, Your Majesty, no, I didn't, I..."

"I used to think you were smart and clever, but you were not always careful and reckless. I was willing to forgive you and give you a chance to reform because you were young. I didn't expect you to be so unbearable that you even ignored the heir to the throne in order to win favor."

"I am extremely disappointed!"

Sun Miaoqing went out for the banquet today, and was suspected of having a secret meeting with Prince Guo.

It was originally a minor offense, and if she had behaved herself, the emperor would have been willing to let it go. But now she has committed a serious mistake, and this minor offense is piled on top of the major one, so it is unforgivable.

Having said this, it was meaningless for Sun Miaoqing to continue to claim that she was wronged.

She simply confessed her guilt, sobbing and changing the subject, saying:

"Today, today's incident was caused by my carelessness. Please, please, Your Majesty, forgive me this time for the sake of my careful service in the past. I will be more careful in the future and will not make such a mistake again."

The emperor had no old feelings for Sun Miaoqing.

Thinking of all the stupid things she had done in the past, I didn't want to take it lightly.

But... he was also worried that this was God's act of rectification, to make those who shouldn't have come leave.

Then he followed Sun Miaoqing's "unawareness" and said:

"Your Excellency Sun, your behavior was reckless and harmful to the descendants of the dragon. You should be punished with the death penalty. However, considering that this is her first pregnancy and she is ignorant, you are stripped of your title, demoted to a concubine, and confined to Siyi Academy. No one is allowed to visit you without my order."

【Ignorance?】

[Isn't what I just said clear enough? ]

Nian Shilan had been tolerating Sun Miaoqing for a long time. How could she let go of such a good opportunity? Just as she was about to speak, Su Peisheng saw something and interrupted her:

"Your Majesty, please give instructions to the Imperial Physician Wei Linwei..."

Someone has to bear the consequences.

The emperor was filled with rage. He stood up and left one word: "Kill."

Go straight out.

Sun Miaoqing was still weak, and when he heard the word "kill", he lost his support and fell down.

The baby was injured during childbirth, but the empress was kind enough to leave Imperial Physician Zhang to look after her, and then she and Concubine Hua followed the emperor away.

Concubine Qi's heart has always been with the Empress, so she naturally would not stay in a place of trouble for long. She just remembered their past friendship and told her to take good care of herself, saying that there would be another chance in the future, so she would hurry up and follow her out.

[I thought the Empress was very clever, and that she had put so much effort into it, only to make her accept the position.]

【Not even a zhang of red. 】

【It would be better if I could do it myself. 】

Nian Shilan was very dissatisfied with the result and mocked it in her heart.

Is she so obsessed with Yi Zhang Hong?

The queen had a headache after hearing this. She stopped at the intersection and said, "Hua Fei."

Nian Shilan pursed her lips and rolled her eyes, "What advice does the Queen have?"

"Your Wind Singing Hall is over there."

I don't want to listen to you, please leave as soon as possible.

"It's getting late. The Queen is old. I will take her back."

[I won’t leave! I won’t leave! ]

[Thanks to me for trusting you so much and leaving you such a good opportunity, take a look at what you have done. ]

[Not as good as Cao Qinmo! ]

【snort!】

The Empress could not explain to Concubine Hua, and she couldn't explain it. Otherwise, if she accidentally leaked it to the Emperor, she would be doomed, and it would be a loss to bring trouble to herself.

[It's thundering and raining tonight, your headache might come back! ]

[I will send all the imperial doctors to Yinfeng Palace, so that you can only call Jianqiu when you have a headache! ]

Hurry back and get away from this annoying guy!

The queen couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Suddenly, they both stopped at the same time, turned around at the same time, and said in unison with some annoyance:

"What are you doing?"

Concubine Qi was stunned for a moment, then said innocently, "I and Concubine Hua Gui escorted the Empress back, so naturally I should also escort her back."

One annoying person is not enough, there are two.

The queen's steps became faster.

After finally returning to Louyue Kaiyun, Jianqiu gave the queen a massage to relax her, saying:

"Your Majesty has been working hard all day, why don't you take a rest early?"

"No hurry." He didn't finish, "Let Huichun go to the Imperial Hospital and..."

Before he could finish his words, Huichun had already entered the hall.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Jiang is here."

The Queen deliberately kept Zhang Mi in Siyi Academy today, of course not for her own kindness, but to have a reason to invite Jiang Cheng to come.

Unexpectedly, he was in a hurry and came over first.

"Let him in."

Jiang Cheng shook his sleeves and knelt on one knee, "I, Jiang Cheng, pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."

This time, whether Sun Miaoqing was truly pregnant or not, the empress did not contact any of the doctors, including Liu Bin from Jeju, Doctor Ye from Jiangnan, Wei Lin, and Fuling.

Even Zhang Mi was not surprised.

Only Jiang Cheng was used.

In the last month.

The empress did not need to give him a single copper coin, but only told him that if he did not listen to her, she would send someone to tell Nian Gengyao about Concubine Hua Gui's use of musk.

As a wealthy man, he checked Hua Guifei's pulse at regular times and places, so it was impossible for him not to know that there was musk in Hua Guifei's body.

The fact that Concubine Hua Gui has been kept in the dark until now can only mean one thing—

He, Jiang Cheng, colluded with others to murder Concubine Hua Gui.

If Nian Gengyao knew about this, Jiang Cheng would probably not even have a head left on the necks of his own cats and dogs, let alone the living people of his clan.

Of course, if the queen wanted him to defect and work for her, coercion alone was not enough, she also needed inducements.

The Queen also promised that Zhang Mi was old and would abdicate in two years, but as long as he worked hard, the position of judge would definitely be his.

If Jiang Cheng said he wasn't moved, that would be a lie.

But no matter how excited I am, I can't risk my life.

The conflict between the Empress and Consort Hua was common knowledge in the harem.

If the Queen used his own hands to kill Concubine Hua Gui, he would be the judge of the upper court and his whole family would be killed.

Jiang Cheng originally thought that he would pretend to agree first, and once he got the evidence that the Empress harmed Concubine Hua, he would immediately confess to General Nian and splash the dirty musk water on the Empress' head - after all, he could not betray the Emperor in this matter.

After that, if the empress sent someone to inform on someone again, she would not be able to gain General Nian's trust.

However, she did not expect that the Empress had no intention of harming Concubine Hua Gui, but just wanted her to find a way to add something to Sun Miaoqing's medicine and food.

He carefully studied the prescription given by the Queen.

It is a powerful fertility aid recipe.

So it is true that Sun Miaoqing was not pregnant more than a month ago, and it is also true that she is pregnant now.

But it was not more than two months, but more than a month.

It is the most unstable time, and practicing dance intensively every day is dangerous.

Furthermore, the glass of wine she drank after returning from the banquet today was not an ordinary drink either.

Her miscarriage today was a sure thing.

But compared with the other consequence, this minor incident is not worth mentioning to Sun Miaoqing.
