Chapter Twenty-Nine: Does the Emperor Want to Reward Them Too?
"Sister, is it true that she is not mistaken?" Liu Yuyang opened weakly.
"Nope." Lin Yayin thought about it and shook her head.
Seeing that Lin Yayin didn't look like a lie, Li Yiqian was also a little puzzled.
"Little Muzi, you go and ask."
"Yes."
"Wechen has seen the emperor."
At this time, the imperial doctor who was treating Sun Qi in the house came out.
"Flat. How is Sun Jieyu doing? ”
"Back to the emperor, Weichen is incompetent."
"So the child in Sun Jieyu's womb can't be saved?"
"A child in the womb? This ...... "The imperial doctor was a little embarrassed to speak.
"If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." Liu Yuyang looked at the appearance of the imperial doctor and knew that something must have happened. She is happy to add some mess to Zhao Qinyue.
"Say it."
"Looking at Sun Jieyu's pulse, it is indeed a miscarriage. However, Sun Jieyu did not have a dead baby discharged from her abdomen, which made the minister puzzled. Maybe there are other reasons, it is better for the emperor to send someone to ask the imperial doctor to take a look, maybe he knows the reason. ”
"What? No dead babies? Everyone in the room was frightened by the Imperial Doctor's words.
"Could it be that she wasn't pregnant at all?"
Zhao Qinyue was the first to react, if Sun Qi was not pregnant at all, then she was not at fault.
"No, it won't. Sun Jieyu's fetus has always been taken care of by the ministers, and there has always been no problem. ”
Regarding Sun Qi's pregnancy, the imperial doctor is very sure. There is absolutely nothing wrong with his experience in practicing medicine for so many years. But he really couldn't explain the current situation.
"Xiao Wenzi, go and call the imperial doctor."
"Yes."
"You go and heal Sun Jieyu first."
"Obey the order."
"Your Majesty, is it possible that Sister Sun is pregnant with an ominous child. The concubine heard that the harem of the previous emperor of Lan Guo was pregnant with a concubine, and when she was about to give birth, she could not diagnose the pulse of pregnancy. Qian Ruyi seemed to inadvertently mention a possibility.
"Ominous Fetus!" Qian Ruyi's words reminded the Queen Mother, "Emperor, Sun Jieyu can't stay." You have to know what it would mean if she and the baby survived! The mourning family can't watch the country of China ruined in your hands. ”
At this time, she had long forgotten the joy when she learned that Sun Qi was pregnant, and only the disaster she might bring was left in her eyes.
Li Yiqian glared at Qian Ruyi and turned to the Queen Mother.
"The queen mother, the matter of the ominous birth is pure nonsense. What's more, Sun Jieyu has now had a miscarriage, how can there be any ominous births? I think it's quite strange, so I'd better wait for the imperial doctor's order to come. ”
This matter is somewhat beyond Li Yiqian's cognition, and he also wants to find out the truth and see what is going on.
While Li Yiqian was thinking about this, Mu Xiu walked in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the servants just asked the people who followed Sun Jieyu out, and they did meet Imperial Maiden Lin in Yuchi. They also said that at that time, Imperial Maiden Lin's expression was a little strange, as if she didn't see Sun Jieyu, and walked over directly. ”
"Oh?" Li Yiqian thought of Lin Yayin's abnormality.
"Was there anyone with Imperial Maiden Lin at that time?"
"Not really."
"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor's order is here." Xiao Wenzi came in to report.
"Let him go directly to see Sun Jieyu, and then come back and forth." Li Yiqian desperately wanted to know the result.
"Yes."
After a while, the imperial physician Ling Wang Gu walked in and saluted.
"Do you know what happened to Sun Jieyu?" Li Yiqian asked.
At this time, everyone's eyes in the room were fixed on Wang Gu's body, and everyone wanted to know what Sun Qi's situation was. There are also plans to take advantage of the opportunity to pull down some people.
"Back to the emperor, the minister has seen Sun Jieyu's record before, and there is no doubt that she is pregnant. Moreover, now that the fetus is more than five months old and has been pregnant, it cannot be a false pregnancy. But now that there is no dead baby discharged from the miscarriage, Weichen suspects that Niangniang is caused by Gu poison. ”
"What?"
Wang Gu's words caused an uproar in the house.
Someone in the palace unknowingly fell into Gu poison, and the technique of poison Gu is unique to Lan Guo, which means that there are spies in the palace of Lan Guo, or someone has dealings with Lan Guo. Either way, it's enough to make everyone worry about their safety.
Li Yiqian also gasped, it turned out that besides her, was there anyone in the palace who had a connection with Lan Guo? Why didn't there be any sign in the previous life, and even in the end, he didn't know the existence of this person, whether the other party hid it too well or he missed something. Li Yiqian was shocked at the thought that there was such a danger around him that could erupt at any time.
"Chen had seen in Master's notes that there was a kind of pregnancy Gu in Lan Kingdom, which was usually placed on the body of pregnant women. This Gu will grow up with the fetus, and when the fetus is three to six months old, it will eat away at the fetus and turn into its nourishment, which will eventually give people the illusion that the fetus has disappeared out of thin air. ”
"You have a credential!"
"The minister needs to ask Niangniang's personal palace maid a few questions before he can make a conclusion."
"Biography."
Sun Qi's palace maid Shadow walked in tremblingly.
"The slave has seen the emperor, the queen mother, and all the ladies."
"Wang Gu, you ask."
"Dare to ask the girl, is the diet of the mother after pregnancy different from the past?"
"Yes. After she became pregnant, she preferred spicy things, but she couldn't eat spicy food before. ”
"Does my mother often can't sleep when she is pregnant?"
"Yes. This has never been done before. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't need to ask anymore. There is no doubt that Niangniang is pregnant. ”
"Why is the Imperial Doctor's Order so sure it's caused by a pregnancy Gu?" Liu Yuyang doesn't seem to want to easily let go of the opportunity to frame Concubine De.
"Back to Niangniang, the minister has already said that Sun Jieyu's situation is the same as being pregnant Gu. Moreover, because this Gu is produced in Lan Country, it will have an impact on the habits of Chinese women. The minister also asked Jieyu's personal palace maid and confirmed that Jieyu's habits did change after pregnancy. Therefore, the minister can conclude that Jieyu must have been pregnant Gu. ”
"So, not a bad luck?"
The Queen Mother also asked, what she was most concerned about was whether this child and Sun Qi would bring disaster to Li Yiqian's country.
"Back to the Queen Mother, no."
"Then can Sun Jieyu get pregnant again in the future?"
Zhao Qinyue asked a question that everyone wanted to know. She also has her own little abacus in her heart, if Sun Qi can't get pregnant in the future, then if she wants to survive in the harem, she can naturally only choose one person to rely on. I am in the same house as her, and there is no contradiction on weekdays, if I can pull her over, then the odds of winning will increase by a few points. What's more, she can't be pregnant, so naturally she won't betray herself.
"This ...... Niangniang's Gu poison has attacked, and the pregnancy Gu has hurt Niangniang's texture, I am afraid that it will be difficult to give birth in the future, even if she is pregnant, she cannot give birth to term. ”
"Really?" The Queen Mother's reaction to this was the greatest.
"Yes."
"Passing on the mourning family order, Sun Jieyu's fetal protection is not good, and she is demoted to a girl." The Queen Mother's face was cold. I can't see the way she treated Sun Qi gently a few months ago.
As soon as these words came out, the concubines present were very surprised. Sun Qi had a miscarriage because he was victimized, even if he had the responsibility of protecting the fetus, he would not end up like this. Only then did everyone present understand the ruthlessness and indifference of the superior person. When you are valuable, you are a thousand precious jade; And when this value disappears, what awaits you is to fall into the dust.
"Concubine De and Concubine Shu take care of the palace affairs but can't find any abnormalities in it, the mourning family sees that you are not capable enough to take on this big responsibility, so let Yang'er come to take care of the palace affairs. You just have to serve the emperor well, what do you think? ”
As soon as the Queen Mother said this, there was another uproar. It turned out that punishing Sun Qi was only one of them, suppressing Zhao Qinyue and Wang Jinyun, and returning power to Liu Yuyang was her real purpose.
"Queen Mother, the concubines think it's inappropriate." Zhao Qinyue was unwilling to return the rights not long after she arrived, and retorted without waiting for Li Yiqian to speak.
"The concubine and the concubine's sister have only taken over the palace affairs for a long time, and they have not been in charge of the palace affairs for a long time compared to the concubine. But when the concubine Niangniang was in charge of the harem before, she never found anything abnormal, and the concubine could not accept the punishment of the queen mother. ”
"Presumptuous! When the mourning family talks to the emperor, there is no room for you to interject! When the Queen Mother saw that Zhao Qinyue dared to refute herself in public, she was angry.
"Auntie, Sister Concubine De didn't mean to refute you, and what she said is also true, Yang'er really didn't see anything abnormal, so don't blame her." Liu Yuyang interceded for Zhao Qinyue, but her eyes were looking at Li Yiqian.
"Yang'er, you are just too kind to let them all bully you. The mourning family will call the shots for you today, what do you say? ”
Seeing that no one responded to her, the Queen Mother looked at Li Yiqian and found that he was wandering.
"Qian'er!" The Queen Mother suddenly raised her voice.
Li Yiqian came back to his senses, "Queen Mother." ”
"Do you have any opinion on what the mourning family just said?"
Li Yiqian motioned to Mu Xiu to tell him what had happened, and when he learned about the Queen Mother's treatment of Sun Qi and Zhao Qinyue and Wang Jinyun, Li Yiqian frowned.
"Queen Mother, Qi'er was also victimized, and your punishment was too severe. I thought I should appease her, not blame her, after all, she can't be a mother anymore. ”
"She can't reproduce heirs for you, what's the use of such a person staying in the palace!" At this time, the Queen Mother was most concerned about the issue of the imperial heir.
"The Queen Mother! I can't agree with you, Qi'er is innocent in this matter, and I can't abandon her because of this. Come to someone, pass the order down, Jieyu Sun Qi Jin Xiuyi, and live in Lanxi Palace. ”
Li Yiqian has his own ideas about doing this, although Sun Qi's father Yong'an Hou is a military general, but he never participates in those things that fight for power, and he is a complete royalist. This is also the reason why he named Sun Qi the highest position when he first entered the palace, if he wants to reuse Yong'an Hou, Sun Qi can't have an accident, otherwise it will inevitably make him unhappy and cause variables.
Seeing that Li Yiqian disregarded his own opinions, not only did not punish Sun Qi but also promoted her position, the Queen Mother's dislike for Sun Qi had turned into disgust.
"What about Concubine Shu and Concubine De? They are at fault, does the emperor want to reward them? ”
The Queen Mother was already a little speechless at this time, under normal circumstances, she would not refute Li Yiqian in public to embarrass him, but now what Li Yiqian has done has really hurt her, so she doesn't care so much.
