Qianlong had great respect for Empress Fucha Ningxiu in his previous life, only when she was a virtuous queen who had both ability and political integrity and had a deep affection for him, so Qianlong never had the idea of thoroughly investigating the Fucha clan in his previous life. Even if the imperial concubine Gao Fang occasionally vaguely mentioned in front of him that the Empress Fucha seemed to be extremely jealous of pregnant concubines, and was not as virtuous and generous as it seemed on the surface, Qianlong only regarded these things as a competition for favor and jealousy between harem women, but he laughed it off and never took it to heart.

However, now after Qianlong ordered the secret guard to investigate the matter thoroughly according to Qiulan's secret report, he found that Fucha Ningxiu not only dared to disobey his wishes, but ordered the palace maid to directly sterilize Xiao Yan, and secretly sent spices containing musk into the Chengqian Palace, intending to murder the dragon fetus in Gao's womb. Fortunately, Gao has been extremely cautious since she became pregnant, and ordered the palace maid to put all the incense in the Chengqian Palace into the treasury and put it away, and never used it at all, so she was saved from being victimized.

Qianlong only felt that his chest was suffocated by the surging anger, thinking of the secret about the Empress Fucha clan that he had inadvertently discovered in the days when his soul was wandering in the court after his death in his previous life, and his sharp phoenix eyes shot a chilling light.

Qianlong secretly thought that sooner or later he would have to clean up the Fucha clan and completely abolish her position as queen. Even if he knew that the Fucha clan did not live long, he could not allow this ruthless woman to continue to occupy the incomparably noble throne.

Qianlong couldn't help but wonder why he was blind in the first place, thinking that the Fucha clan was a good one, how could such a vicious, cunning, insidious and jealous woman be worthy of being the mother of the Qing Dynasty? Thinking of the noble Wei Ru'er who Fucha Ningxiu arranged to recommend to him before he died, Qianlong felt extremely disgusted.

That damn Wei Ru'er is not only as good at disguise as Fucha Ningxiu, she is obviously a femme fatale, but she wants to pretend to be a kind and weak white lotus, and she has given birth to a good son with ability, except for being able to raid the house, it is useless to let the Tianli Sect rebels attack the Forbidden City, how can such a cowardly and incompetent person be worthy of being the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!

The more Qianlong thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more disappointed he was with Fucha Ningxiu and Concubine Wei Ru'er, the more he looked forward to being able to have an outstanding little brother who had never existed in the world in his previous life.

For the fetus in the womb of the imperial concubine Gao, although Qianlong also had some expectations, he also knew that the possibility of this fetus being saved was very small. The imperial doctor had already told Qianlong in private that Gao's fetus was congenitally insufficient, and the chance of being able to give birth safely was extremely small. Therefore, in order to avoid sadness and disappointment in the future, since Qianlong learned that Gao Fang was pregnant, he only went to Chengqian Palace to visit Gao's three or five times.

Helplessly, whenever Gao Fang came to visit her in Chengqian Palace, she had to deliberately hold up her lower abdomen, which had not yet bulged, and invited Qianlong to pet her by using the unborn fetus in her belly.

Qianlong couldn't help but think to himself, maybe he had a fantasy, how could the concubines in the harem not want heirs and not use heirs to compete for favor? Sure enough, the exchange system in the palace is very reasonable, if you let the princes and brothers grow up in the hands of this group of women who only know intrigue, jealousy and immorality, they don't know what they will be taught to look like!

Although Qianlong still had doubts about Xiao Yan, he was extremely looking forward to her belly. Emperor Qianlong had a preference, that is, those who were handsome and outstanding, would have more good feelings than others. Xiao Yan's appearance is naturally very much to Qianlong's taste, so whenever Qianlong presses Xiao Yan under him and collides with him, he always looks forward to the appearance of the little brother or little Gege she gave birth to herself.

Qiulan originally thought that Qianlong would pull out the nail of the waiter painting after thoroughly investigating the drugging of the waiter, and severely reprimanded the queen. But she didn't expect Qianlong to just order her to take care of Xiao Changzai carefully, and told her that if the queen plotted to kill Xiao Changzai again, she must first protect Xiao Changzai's safety, and at the same time collect all the evidence and present it directly to him.

Qiulan was thoughtful, and immediately thought that the emperor was not deciding to let the queen go, but on the contrary, the emperor deliberately suppressed the matter for the time being, in order not to startle the snake, which shows that the emperor has been completely disappointed in the queen, and has been secretly planning the relevant matters of the abolition, and now it is just to collect evidence and wait for an appropriate time.

Qiulan, as one of the few women among the secret guards who directly obeyed Qianlong's orders, originally thought that it was a little inexplicable for Qianlong to order a master of the inner world to take care of and serve a small Changzai, but now when she heard Qianlong's order, she gradually figured out some meanings.

Qiulan knew that although her master followed the example of the Holy Ancestor Emperor Kangxi and ruled the country with benevolence and virtue, he also had the inherent temperament of the Luo family of Aixinjue, that is, love wanted to live, and hatred wanted to die. Don't look at your own master, he is extremely tolerant of concubines and courtiers who match his vision, and even some kind of Cheng dù can be called conniving, but he doesn't care about the life and death of others.

Now, although his master has not uprooted the dangerous painting for Xiao Changzai, he does have the intention of using Xiao Changzai to lure the snake out of the hole and collect evidence of the queen's crimes, but he told her a thousand times, ordering her to protect Xiao Changzai's safety first, and then complete the errand of collecting evidence. In this way, doesn't it show that the emperor has an unusual favor and care for Xiao Changzai?

After all, she is extraordinary, and she is very proficient in all kinds of poison pharmacology, and with her by Xiao Chang's side to protect her, Xiao Chang will be safe. This is already a great grace for a little Changzai who has just entered the palace and has not yet conceived and given birth to a child.

Although Qianlong did not severely punish Empress Fucha Ning Xiu for poisoning Xiao Yan, he became more and more indifferent to Ning Xiu, and ignored Ning Xiu's persuasion that he was evenly touched with rain and dew, and even gave Xiao Yan more staggering favors.

Qianlong not only turned over Xiao Yan's green head card for more than half a month in the following days, but also went to the side hall of Chuxiu Palace to favor Xiao Yan in person, giving Xiao Yan the respect and grace that only the lord of the first palace can enjoy, which made the concubines and ladies in the harem jealous and red-eyed.

The concubines in the palace all thought that Qianlong had a beauty like Xiao Yan with outstanding appearance, and would definitely sing songs and love him every night, but he didn't know that Qianlong had not been as desperate as Xiao Yan in the past few days, and he was favored all night long, but often gently hugged Xiao Yan in his arms and fell asleep.

These days, Qianlong is really fond of Xiao Yan, not only gave a lot of jewelry and rare antiques for Xiao Yan to watch and play, but also ordered the imperial dining room to make all kinds of delicacies for Xiao Yan according to Xiao Yan's taste every day.

For Xiao Yan, a typical foodie, food does capture her heart more than jewelry and antiques. Seeing that Qianlong actually peeled the shrimp skin, removed the fish bones for her many times when she was dining with her, and even tore off the lean meat on her backbone piece by piece, dipped in the sauce and put it in the porcelain plate in front of her for her to eat slowly, Xiao Yan's heart would surge with warmth, saying that she was not moved at all, it was naturally fake.

The intelligent Xiao Yan knew that Qianlong was waiting for a result, and she could also see Qianlong's expectations for the child in her womb, but when Xiao Yan was a little moved by Qianlong's gentle doting, in a blink of an eye, she saw the eye-catching waiter painting beside her and pretending to ask for warmth, Xiao Yan only felt tired.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yan also guessed Qianlong's intention to deliberately leave the painting by her side, and the little attachment to Qianlong that had just been born suddenly disappeared, even if she snuggled in Qianlong's broad and warm embrace every night, Xiao Yan still felt empty and bitterly cold.

Compared with the warmth and affection in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace, Chengqian Palace is sad and cold.

The imperial concubine Gao Fang had seen red again since the day before yesterday, and even though the dose of the fetal pill was increased, it could not stop the redness. Gao Fangxin felt something, and asked Doctor Hu, who came to treat her, what was the condition of the dragon fetus in her womb, and gave Doctor Hu a heavy red envelope, promising many benefits, before she got Doctor Hu's answer.

At this point, Gao Fang knew that the dragon fetus in her womb was congenitally insufficient, and she was red at the beginning of her pregnancy, and now she is red again, and there are signs of slippery fetus, but I am afraid that it will not be saved. At most, after half a month, the tire will slip.

Gao Fang promised a lot of money and ordered Imperial Doctor Hu to help her hide it for a few days for the time being, not to report the matter to Qianlong, but in private, she cried so much that she couldn't help choking with Lamei's hand: "This palace originally thought that this time, thanks to the blessing of God, she finally got pregnant with a dragon fetus, and she could always give birth to a little brother for the emperor, but today I learned that the original palace and the poor little brother in this palace only have the fate of mother and son in these few days......"

"This palace is really unwilling, why is it that even the slut Fucha Ningxiu can be lucky enough to give birth to a little brother and a little princess for the emperor, but the son of this palace has to be so miserable that he has to leave the palace before he is born...... The amorous emperor has recently become obsessed with a fox spirit surnamed Xiao, and he went to the side hall of Chuxiu Palace to go to Wushan Yun*yu with that slut all day long, but he didn't want to come to Chengqian Palace to accompany the poor little brother of the palace......"

Lamei's face showed a look of grief and indignation, and while wiping her tears for Gao's with a brocade hand, she comforted in a low voice: "Master, don't be sad, cry carefully, your eyes will be broken, and the emperor will definitely feel distressed." According to the slave maid's shallow view, the emperor was just a temporary infatuation with Xiao Changzai, and it was not because the master was pregnant and could not serve the emperor that the emperor would retreat and reluctantly favor Xiao Changzai a few times. When the master has recovered his body, the emperor loves the master so much, how can he be willing to leave the master? Let's just let that Xiao Changzai be proud for a few more days, does she still think that she really has the blessing to become a noble person in the palace? ”

Gao Fang gradually stopped crying, and asked suspiciously: "Noble? What nobles? ”

Seeing that Gao Fang couldn't help asking, Lamei couldn't shirk it, so she could only explain briefly: "Recently, there have been some rumors in the palace that the emperor has been very fond of Xiao Changzai for more than a month, and ordered the imperial doctor to go to Chuxiu Palace every day to diagnose Xiao Changzai's pulse, it must be ...... It is hoped that Xiao Changzai can get pregnant in one fell swoop and give birth to a little brother. Master, master, don't be sad, these gossips have never been credible, they must be the idle and boring rumors of the servants in the palace! Xiao Chang is lowly in status and lowly in life, how can he be qualified to give birth to a little brother for the emperor and become a nobleman in the palace? ”

"No qualifications, no qualifications......" The imperial concubine Gao seemed to be stupid, and kept muttering this sentence, but then her eyes gradually turned red, and she burst into tears again, and her eyes full of tears gradually showed unwillingness and jealousy, "You are right, this palace has not been able to give birth to a little brother for the emperor, how can Xiao Yan, that little slut, have the qualifications to conceive a dragon fetus!" Could it be that she really thought that she had the ability to climb the dragon bed a few times before she could get the emperor's heart? This palace must let this slut who doesn't know the height of the sky know who the emperor's favorite woman is in this harem! ”
