Chapter 113 The Real Purpose

That recipe is too strong and can cause great harm to people.

After this experience, it is impossible for Sun Miaoqing to get pregnant again.

The Queen had no fear that Jiang Cheng would bite her back if his truth was revealed one day.

The reason was very simple. First, he was asked to memorize the recipe on the spot and was not asked to take it away.

Second, she and Concubine Hua Gui had been at odds for a long time, and everyone knew it.

And Jiang Cheng is Concubine Hua Gui's man.

If he dared to say one more word, even if Concubine Hua Gui was framing the Empress and openly trying to harm Nian Shilan, he would not dare to do it.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng not only has to take on this hot potato, but also has to do it with all his strength.

The doctors in the Imperial Hospital each have their own strengths. Jiang Cheng may be lacking in other areas, but he is unrivaled in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.

If he did it himself, with Wei Lin's current achievements, even if he held Sun Miaoqing's arm and took her pulse for three days and three nights, he would not be able to find the problem.

The Queen glanced at Jiang Cheng who was kneeling on the ground and said in a cold tone:

"I have said that you are not allowed to see me without my order."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. It was Concubine Hua Gui who said that when you met Princess Wen Yi today, you could not help but think of the time when the eldest prince was one year old and had a headache. Imperial Doctor Zhang was not here, so she specially asked me to come here."

Jiang Cheng thought he was not stupid, but he was becoming more and more confused about the harem.

The Queen helped Concubine Hua Gui deal with her enemies.

Concubine Hua Gui was concerned about the Empress's old illness.

When he came out of the Yinfeng Palace just now, he looked up at the sky and felt that it was not the moon but the sun.

Let me ask you, if the sun and the moon were not reversed, how could the masters of these two palaces, who are so incompatible with each other, be like this?

Jiang Cheng even suspected that the Lamas had performed a ritual and that the Empress and Concubine Hua Gui had exchanged their souls.

When the Queen heard this, her face was slightly surprised, and a breeze of freshness passed through her heart.

This was the first time she felt... cared for in the harem?

Does this count?

"You don't have to listen to her anymore."

It would be fine if it happened once, but if it happened again and again and the emperor found out, both she and her would be in trouble.

Jiang Cheng understood, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"From now on, if Concubine Hua Gui asks about her menstrual cycle, she should attribute it to the weather and her diet. In the Jingshifang, she can hang a green card if she wants."

Jiang Cheng raised his head suddenly, his face full of astonishment, "Empress, you, you know?"

The queen snorted and laughed: Is it difficult?

She had been looking forward to Concubine Hua's birth for a long time.

The last time at Cao Qinmo's place, when Sun Miaoqing confirmed that she was not pregnant, Nian Shilan's thoughts had already made her suspicious. Nian Shilan still hadn't had her period in the past two months.

In the past, Concubine Hua was so indulged in the scent of Huan Yixiang that she didn't have her period for three to five months. It was a physical problem.

Previously, she had used the excuse of asking Zhang Mi to sort out the pulse records of the Imperial Hospital and secretly took a look at Concubine Hua's.

Through longitudinal comparison, it was determined that Nian Shilan's body was gradually recovering.

She has a healthy body but hasn't had her period for three months, and the records in the Jingshifang are closed. If this isn't pregnancy, what else could it be?

Sun Miaoqing was just a concubine, and it was not worth her going to so much trouble to do anything about it.

Her goal was to have another real pregnancy after the one she had and to protect Hua Fei's baby.

"But as the months go by, I can't hide it anymore."

Jiang Cheng frowned, he knew that what they wanted to hide was not Concubine Hua Gui, but the emperor.

"In my humble opinion, now seems to be the best time to tell His Majesty."

The emperor had few children, so he attached great importance to his offspring. However, he was quite cautious because he had killed his own son with his own hands.

Today, Sun Miaoqing jumped his son to death, and he was angry with Sun Miaoqing.

On the other hand, one may also feel that it is a punishment from God.

Looking at it now, it is indeed a good opportunity.

However, Jiang Cheng did not understand the emperor's ruthlessness. In that man's eyes, nothing was more important than his suspicion.

The Nian family was becoming more and more powerful at this time. If he knew that Concubine Hua was pregnant, there was no guarantee that he would not have murderous intentions again.

The Queen will have to wait.

Wait until the pregnancy is old enough, the fetus is stable enough, and the emperor can no longer act secretly.

Concubine Hua Gui's pregnancy was finally saved.

The queen glanced at the grapes on the table. "She has always been greedy and careless. Just tell her that you have gained weight. She won't be suspicious."

Jiang Cheng: “…” It seems to be the case.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This was not enough, the Queen changed her mind and said, "Didn't Jiang Shen go back to attend the funeral? You should go back too."

"Then what about Concubine Hua..."

"Before you leave, tell the emperor that Concubine Hua is fine."

"I understand."

The fewer people who knew about Concubine Hua's use of musk, the better. The emperor would not and did not dare to let other imperial physicians diagnose Concubine Hua's pulse.

This move is not only to protect Concubine Hua, but also to protect Jiang Cheng. How can Jiang Cheng not appreciate the Empress's sincerity?

"Thank you, Queen."

After Jiang Cheng left, Jian Qiu asked in confusion:

"The Empress has taken great pains for Concubine Hua Gui."

The Queen patted Jianqiu's hand and said, "The Third Prince is too stupid. I need a child."

"But Concubine Hua Gui's intentions are unpredictable. If you allow her son to ascend the throne, what will you do if she turns against you in the future?"

"Concubine Hua Gui's intentions...are not that hard to predict. As for crossing the river and then destroying the bridge."

It is indeed something that cannot be ignored.

Compared to people like Concubine Duan and Zhen Huan who are deep-minded, Concubine Hua Gui is exceptionally simple.

She will hold a grudge, but she won't remember it for long. If you open up to her, she will also be willing to open up to you.

I want to calculate, but I can't figure it out. I think my strategy is good, but it's all written on my face.

Of course, if Concubine Hua really wants to destroy the bridge after crossing the river in the future, the Empress would not mind sending her to see Rouze without a trace, just like she did with Sun Miaoqing.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

The queen had not had a headache this life and was in a good mood. It was windy outside, so she washed up and prepared to rest.

Jianqiu is loyal to her master. The Empress clearly wants to help Concubine Hua, so she will naturally stand on the side of her master unconditionally and will not hate Concubine Hua.

But she still had some concerns.

"The Third Prince is not smart and took after Concubine Qi. Isn't the Empress afraid that the Sixth Prince will also take after his mother in the future?"

The Queen laughed, thinking that Jianqiu was complaining that Concubine Hua was stupid.

"Don't worry. There is no one in the Li family who has made any achievements. But the Nian family is different. You see Nian Gengyao is a warrior, but he is a native of Jintu, and is good at both civil and military affairs."

"The eldest daughter of the Nian family was spoiled by her parents and brothers. She didn't have to live as cautiously as I did when I was a concubine. Naturally, her mind is simpler and she is not stupid."

Jianqiu supported the empress and said distressedly, "Why does your majesty have to say this about yourself?"

"It's all true."

The Queen was used to hearing Nian Shilan's frank words and had already accepted these realities.

The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, and it looked like a storm was about to come.

Xiao Xiazi walked against the wind and trotted back to Jiuzhou Qingyan, handing the booklet in his hand to Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng casually flipped through two pages and took them into the hall.

"Your Majesty, these are all from Siyi Academy. Please take a look."
