Chapter 17: Pregnant
I rested one hand on the table, my fingertips tapping back and forth on the table, feeling a little anxious.
When something like this happened, I couldn't help but complain a little that I was not careful, and I could let others take advantage of the loophole to poison me...
The wait was always a bit long, so during this period, I simply pulled out a silver hairpin on my head and poked into the rice bowls and dishes one by one, but after I tried them one by one, I couldn't find anything unusual.
Isn't it in the meal? Or is this poison the same as the poison that Concubine Qing once gave to the queen, and it can't be tried with a silver needle alone?
I casually threw the silver hairpin on the table, and I couldn't help but feel a little confused, and I couldn't think about it for a long time, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong.
My own personal belongings have always been kept by Magnolia for me, so there shouldn't be any chance left for people to take advantage of. I don't like to burn incense in the day, except for the mint sachet I carry with me, there are no other items in the room that carry the fragrance, so what is the place that leaves people with a chance to take advantage of?
I couldn't figure it out.
Just thinking about it, Yulan had already invited Xu Shining over.
Xu Shining walked towards me with the medicine box, and then bowed to me: "Wechen has seen the side concubine." ”
I glanced at him, then reached out and removed the pair of chopsticks from the plate, and said to him in a soft voice, "Come and see if there is anything wrong with these meals." ”
He lowered his neck slightly, and responded: "Yes." ”
With that, he put his hand into his sleeve and took out a silver needle, and when I saw this, I spoke again: "I have tried, but this poisonous silver needle cannot be detected." ”
Hearing this, he put away the silver needle again, took a slight step forward, and began to examine every meal on the table himself.
When he had finished examining them one by one, I asked, "What's wrong?" ”
He put down the last dish in his hand, moved two steps back, he faced me, bowed his head slightly, and said, "There is nothing wrong with returning to the side concubine." ”
I couldn't help but be in doubt again.
"Dare to ask Concubine Fang, what is wrong with you?"
Hearing his words, I withdrew my thoughts, and was about to say something to him, but suddenly I felt a feeling of nausea in my chest, and I quickly covered my mouth and retched again.
Seeing me like this, Yulan couldn't help but get nervous again, she frowned and pinched the embroidered handkerchief, and hurriedly asked Xu Shining: "Doctor Xu, look, what's wrong with the side concubine." ”
Xu Shining frowned slightly, with doubts hidden in his eyes, "Concubine Fang, I'm tired of stretching out your hand, Weichen needs to take your pulse." ”
I frowned, reached out and stroked my chest, relieved the nausea in my chest, and then reached out my other hand again.
Xu Shining put down the medicine box in his hand, took out a handkerchief from it, and put it on my wrist, and then he stretched out his hand and began to check my pulse.
Suddenly, Xu Shining suddenly smiled, he took back the handkerchief, and hurriedly arched his hand to me and said, "Congratulations, Concubine Fang, you are already two months pregnant." ”
"What?!"
I couldn't help but be taken aback, and I was stunned for a long time before I came back to my senses.
Then I suddenly remembered that when my mother was pregnant with her younger brother, she also seemed to be nauseous... It turned out that this was actually a reaction to pregnancy.
Two months pregnant... That was the day I got married to Fu Yuying......
I couldn't help but feel a little happy in my heart.
"Congratulations to the concubine, congratulations to the concubine!" Yulan was overjoyed, and her voice was filled with unconcealable joy: "With this child, your current predicament can be solved... The slave and maid went to tell the prince. ”
Seeing Yulan turn around and prepare to go out, I hurriedly stopped her: "Come back!" ”
Hearing this, Magnolia turned around again and looked at me with some puzzlement.
I lowered my eyes, pursed my lips, and after a moment of silence, I looked up at her again and said softly, "Don't make a noise beforehand." ”
She wondered, "Why?" If the prince knows about this, he will also lift your grounding for the sake of the child in your womb. ”
"The grounding is only secondary," I thought to myself, and whispered, "It's still a little early for this child to be known to the world." ”
Although Yulan still couldn't understand, she didn't refute my words, but just asked me curtly: "Then ...... Dr. Xu?"
I turned my eyes to look at Xu Shining, smiled at him, and said, "I'm afraid it's impossible for Dr. Xu not to inform His Royal Highness the Prince." But it's okay for the prince to know, but I want to ask Dr. Xu not to spread the word, and also tell the prince not to make a noise. ”
Xu Shining leaned over and said to me, "Weichen knows. ”
I nodded, waved at him, and motioned for him to leave.
I was suddenly pregnant, which really surprised and delighted me.
With this child, there is an infinite bond between me and Fu Yuying......
Seeing that Xu Shining had left, Yulan came over and asked me in a low voice, "Concubine Fang, what do you think?" ”
I came back to my senses, looked up at her, and chuckled, "It's not difficult for me to lift the lockdown, you should take a long-term view, such as... After the fall of the crown princess, I can use this child to become the next crown princess. ”
Yulan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded suddenly, but only for a moment, she frowned again and asked me worriedly: "But Concubine Fang, can you really bring down the crown princess?" ”
I hooked the corners of my mouth, smiled faintly, and said to her: "Then why do you think I would agree with Lin Ningning's opinion and let the prince ban my feet." ”
I pursed my dry and hard lips, picked up the spoon, and drank a few sips of the soup on the table before continuing to say to her: "She has set up such a big game, how can it be as simple as just trying to ban my feet, if I guess correctly, she is very likely to kill me when I am grounded, and when the time comes, as long as we can catch the evidence of her attack on me, then it will be easy to bring down Lin Shanning." Moreover, as long as Lin Shanning is brought down, the fall of the crown princess is just a matter of seeing when I want to do it. ”
With Sister Yan's brain, if she hadn't always had the emperor's help before, she would have been pulled down by these people in the East Palace.
I lowered my head, touched my lower abdomen, and said softly: "Now, the most important thing for me should be to eat well, not to starve the little ancestor in my stomach." ”
I was slightly happy, and it was not difficult to hear that I was in a very happy mood, and when Magnolia saw this, a slight smile gradually appeared on her face.
The gloom and sadness of the past few days have been completely swept away at this moment.
In the evening, I leaned back on the soft couch to read, and Magnolia lay on the edge, gently beating my calves.
My concentration was not very high, my mind was basically on my stomach, I reached out and stroked my lower abdomen, and looked at the book in front of me intently.
"Yulan, you say, am I really pregnant?"
I finally couldn't help it, put down the book in my hand, and looked down at my lower abdomen.
Yulan chuckled lightly and coaxed me: "Yes, Concubine Side, can't you still believe Dr. Xu's medical skills?" ”
"It's not," I smiled, my eyes full of tenderness, "but it all came a little suddenly, and I never thought I would have children." ”
Yulan tilted her head, looked at me with a smile, and said, "Does the concubine want you to conceive a boy or a girl?" ”
"Naturally, it's a boy." I didn't want to, so I blurted out, "Only by conceiving a boy can I completely gain a foothold in the East Palace." ”
Yulan nodded thoughtfully, and said, "This is... If the side concubine really gave birth to a boy and sat in the position of the crown princess, maybe this child would become the imperial grandson in the future. ”
I smiled and was noncommittal.
"That's right, Side Concubine."
I had just picked up the book on the couch and was about to continue reading, when Yulan suddenly spoke: "It seems that the guards guarding at the door have been replaced, and when the slave maid went to look for Dr. Xu today, she found that the previous ones were gone." ”
"Oh?" I put down my book, and I couldn't help but be a little wary.
It stands to reason that the few people who were on duty before were all sent by Fu Yuying, and they would definitely not do anything to me, so they should not be replaced, but then again, those people were all sent by Fu Yuying, who would dare to replace them without his order?
"That's it." I picked up the book on my bed again and said slowly, "It's getting late now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find out anything if I go to explore now." ”
After reading the book for a while, I felt a little sleepy, so I got up from the soft couch and asked Magnolia to serve me to wash up and get ready for bed.
Before going to bed, for some reason, I was always a little worried.
"Magnolia." I whispered to her.
Yulan had just blown out the last candle when she heard my voice, and then she came to me slowly by the moonlight, and she opened the curtain and leaned over to ask me, "Does the concubine have any other orders?" ”
"I'm always a little uneasy, so you can ask Yanhua to come over and keep vigil tonight."
Yulan, this girl is stupid and stupid, and she doesn't know martial arts, so it's more reassuring for me to let Yan paint over.
"Yes."
She nodded, then straightened up, closed the curtains, and exited the room.
After a few moments, I heard the sound of the door being opened outside, followed by the sound of soft footsteps, and I lifted the curtain slightly, and by the moonlight, I vaguely saw that it was Yanhua, and I was immediately relieved.
"What's wrong?" Yeon-hwa walked up to me and asked me softly.
"It's nothing, and it's not a big deal." I spoke up slowly and replied to her words: "It's just that the guards at the door were suddenly replaced today, and I was a little uneasy for a while. ”
When she heard what I said, she suddenly smiled, and then said to me, "I thought it was a big deal, if you don't worry, I'll just be by your bedside tonight." ”
"You don't have to be so aggrieved." I said to her, "But I still have to be wronged to sleep on the soft couch next door." ”
"Okay." As she spoke, she patted me on the shoulder and comforted me, "You can go to bed in peace, don't think so much." ”
When she had finished speaking, she got up and closed the curtain for me, and then left my bedchamber.
With Yeon's paintings, I can sleep peacefully.
I twisted the quilt and closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Shortly after I fell asleep, I suddenly smelled a quiet aroma, which gradually became strong from scarce, and I couldn't help but be alert, and quickly opened my eyes and woke up from my dream.
I was about to sit up when someone pulled open my tent.
