"There is no way to do it?" Concubine Qi said.

"Wechen has a way." Wang Laohu said.

"What's the solution?"

"Let the other doctors from the Tai Hospital come to help Niangniang take the pulse again."

"No!" Concubine Qi seemed very reluctant to this matter, or rather very determined.

"Is the mother afraid that her lies will be exposed?" Wang Laohu asked.

"This palace has said that this is the truth of the facts, not a lie."

"If I want to know the truth of whether this is the truth, I will only believe it if I ask the doctor from the Tai Hospital to re-check the pulse." Wang Laohu said.

Concubine Qi shook her head: "Lord Wang, you really don't care about the prince in the belly of this palace. ”

"Is it the prince, now it's just you talking about it, Imperial Doctor Li didn't help you testify, how do you make me believe?" Wang Laohu said.

Even though Lord Wang tortured Imperial Physician Li, he did not tell Lord Wang the truth of the facts, which shows his loyalty to the palace. Lord Wang, if you bring him to the dormitory of the main palace, let the main palace tell him that you are your own man, and he will tell you the truth. Qi Fei Niangniang said.

"Why should I punish Imperial Physician Li, why didn't I bring him here, does Concubine Qi know?" Wang Laohu said.

Concubine Qi shook her head, it seemed that she didn't know what was going on.

"Because I believe what my mother says." Wang Laohu said, "But this matter is not trivial, and Weichen has to do everything possible to verify it." ”

"This palace doesn't believe in the imperial doctor in the palace."

"Are you afraid they'll get the word out?" Wang Laohu asked.

Seeing that Concubine Qi was silent, Wang Laohu thought that he had guessed correctly, he looked at Niangniang and said, "Weichen has a compromise method, I don't know if Niangniang is willing?" ”

"Tell me about it."

"The doctor of the Tai Hospital, you don't believe it, I don't know if you believe in me?" Wang Laohu asked.

"Your people?"

Wang Laohu looked at the dormitory, the surroundings were empty, and everyone else was branched out, and he said softly: "The two brocade guards who follow me on weekdays are here to monitor me, so we have to be careful when we do some things." I've asked someone to ask for a pulse, and if you ask him to take the pulse, I'll know if what you're saying is true or false. ”

"When will your people arrive?" Qi Fei said.

"So the mother agreed."

"This palace has to fight alone now."

Liu Jinfu.

"It's been seven days since Wang Laohu entered the palace, and according to our people's report, he arrested Li Qinbao from the Tai Hospital and tortured him, as if he thought he did it." Kwong Da Humane.

"This Wang Laohu still has a hand, and he has found out this matter so quickly." Liu Jindao.

"Actually, I have already instructed him to deal with this matter earlier, but now it seems that Wang Laohu has not thought about ending this matter."

"It's still early? If it can be found out in seven days, this matter is too simple, Wang Laohu is smart in this place. Liu Jin boasted instead.

"Chitose, do you really praise Wang Laohu?"

"You guys, sometimes you have to learn more from him, use your brains more, even if you figure it out, you have to drag him for a few days, our Jinyiwei is just being said to be a trick, doing things too hastily, catching people and beating them into tricks. Wang Laohu was calm. ”

"Chitose, there is another thing, Wang Laohu sent the people around him out of the palace, and our people are staring at him?"

"Is that the one named Qishun?"

"That's him." "Our people saw him go back to the house. ”

"Going home?" Liu Jin asked.

"Yes, though, now he's back at the palace and he's brought someone with him. Liu Qiansui, what the hell is Wang Laohu doing? Do you want to arrest the person who entered the palace later? ”

"I'll just say that you have fewer roots than Wang Laohu, what are you going to do with the people who go to arrest him? Bring someone in, you make a fuss, what big waves can he make? ”

"Yes, yes, Chitose taught me."

"But? You should visit him and let him know that we are watching this and let him deal with it as soon as possible, and besides, go and find out where the man he just brought in. ”

Wang Laohu's residence.

"Lord Kwong, Lord Kwong, please be seated." When Wang Laohu saw Master Kuang coming, he hurriedly got up and welcomed him in.

Lord Kuang also saluted Wang Laohu and went into the room. He looked at the brocade guards behind Wang Laohu and exchanged glances with them.

Lord Kuang sat down and said to Wang Laohu: "Liu Qiansui asked me to ask you, how is your investigation?" ”

"Investigating, investigating." Wang Laohu replied, "How can the matter in this harem be investigated clearly at once." I've got some eyebrows, though. ”

"Liu Qiansui is also keeping a close eye on this matter, you have to handle it carefully, you know what his old man means."

"Lord Kwong, I know, I know, this matter will be clear soon." Wang Laohu said, "Lord Kuang, Liu Qiansui should be near this harem, I have been in the palace for so long, and I haven't seen his old man." When will you ......?"

Lord Kuang waved his hand and said, "Lord Wang, don't worry about this, when you finish this matter, maybe Lord Liu will meet you." ”

Wang Laohu also smiled.

"I heard that you found someone from the mansion to the palace, is it the one behind you?" Lord Kuang looked at the person behind Wang Laohu, who Qishun had just brought back, and said.

"He, he is a subordinate of my house, he usually follows me, and he has been in the house for so long, and I need his help with some things."

Master Kuang looked at it and said, "This person is a lot old, can you help you."

Why are you busy? ”

He said it lightly, but Wang Laohu knew that Master Kuang had meant to ask like this, and he would not say something inconsequential for no reason. "Don't hide it from Lord Kuang, I haven't weaned it clean, this shameful thing, I didn't want to say it, but if Lord Kuang wants to ask, I have to be afraid of your jokes. He is my old butler, and he has been arranging my daily life, and without him, I can't sleep this big night. ”

"Huh." Lord Kwong also smiled, "It seems that Lord Wang is still an unweaned child." ”

"No way, who got me used to it?" Wang Laohu said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to break it in my life." ”

This is like Wang Laohu's self-deprecation of himself.

"Lord Wang, the night after tomorrow, Lord Zhao of the Criminal Department of the Capital is going to have a big birthday, and he sent us a note for Jinyiwei, and Lord Fu is busy with official business, so let me go. So then, you will go with me. ”

"You see, I'm still too busy with the affairs of this palace?" Wang Laohu excused.

"Don't say I don't remind you. Lord Zhao has a big birthday, there are many officials in the capital who come and go, you just arrived in the capital, there is no harm in meeting these officials? ”

After Lord Kuang said this, Wang Laohu thought that what he said was right, and when he went to the capital, there was no way to deal with officials? Now that I have this rare opportunity, I should go. "Lord Kuang, yes, I should go, I just came to the capital, I don't understand some rules, it's all thanks to Lord Kuang's advice, the night after tomorrow, I will go with Lord Kuang."

"That's right, we can't afford to lose face." Kuang Dadao, "You can have a snack on that matter, and I will leave first." ”

Watching Lord Kuang walk out of his residence, Wang Laohu knew that every move he made in the harem had countless pairs of eyes staring at him? If they want to make some noise in the harem, they must know. When people are brought in, this work has to be done more hiddenly.

The person Wang Laohu asked Qi Shun to bring into the palace was Wang Chenran. Because Concubine Qi told Wang Laohu a shocking secret, if Wang Laohu wanted to confirm this matter, he must let Wang Chen enter the palace, because only he could give Wang Laohu a correct answer, an answer he wanted to know.

Concubine Qi's dormitory.

Wang Laohu branched out the others, and only Wang Laohu, Wang Chenran, and Concubine Qi were left in the entire palace.

Concubine Qi said: "This is the person that Lord Wang said about you?" ”

Wang Laohu nodded and said, "Can you prove today whether what Niangniang said is true or false?" Wang Laohu looked at Concubine Qi, her eyes, her eyes were a little uneasy, could it be that what Concubine Qi said was false, or that she was hiding something. Don't you want to give me an explanation now? ”

"Since you've already brought all the people here, does this palace need to explain anything?" Qi Fei said.

"Okay, Niangniang is really a person who has seen the world, and she is not nervous at all?"

"What are you nervous about?"

"If Niangniang is telling a lie, today is your last day in the palace." Wang Laohu also glanced at Concubine Qi when he said this.

"What if Hongu is telling the truth?"

Wang Laohu hoped that she was telling the truth, and if it was the truth, the emperor should be very happy. But now it's time to test.

Wang Chenran gave Concubine Qi a pulse, and at this time, he only heard Qi Shun shouting outside: "The queen mother has arrived, the queen has arrived!" Wang Laohu knew that he was saying this sentence to him inside.

Everything returned to calm, when the queen mother walked into the bedroom of Concubine Qi, everything returned to calm, Concubine Qi sat behind the curtain, Wang Laohu and Wang Chen were dyed under the stage.

The queen glanced around the dormitory, and Concubine Qi walked out from behind the curtain and said hello to the queen, "My sister asks my sister for peace." ”

Wang Laohu and Wang Chenran also hurriedly saluted the queen. "Weichen Wang Tiger sees the queen's mother, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose."

"Flat." The queen said.

"Sister, come." The queen grabbed Concubine Qi's hand and asked, "How are you feeling these days?" ”

"Isn't it the same?"

"Wang Aiqing, how are you doing with this matter? You have to check carefully, you have to give my sister a clean slate. The queen turned to Wang Laohu and said.

"Queen Mother, Weichen is investigating this matter day and night, and he will be able to restore the truth of the matter immediately." Wang Laohu said.

The queen nodded and said, "Today, the palace is here to see, sister, don't be upset before this matter is revealed." ”

"I am very touched by my sister's concern for my sister."

"However, this palace is here today, I still want to persuade my sister, this matter is in an uproar in the harem, and the emperor is also furious, you still tell Lord Wang the whole thing, perhaps, the emperor will remember the old love and not take his sister's life." The queen said, "This palace will also intercede for my sister in front of the emperor, and we will be sisters." ”

"Sister, I told Lord Wang everything I had to say."

"Really?" The queen showed great interest, she turned around, and asked Wang Laohu, "Is that so?" ”

Wang Laohu said: "Weichen just learned about this matter, so he still needs to investigate and collect evidence." ”

"Can't you tell this palace something?" The queen asked.

"The emperor ordered me to investigate this matter, if some groundless news is said by Weichen, if there is no factual basis, wouldn't it ruin the emperor's reputation? Therefore, when Weichen verifies it clearly, he will definitely give the emperor an explanation. Wang Laohu said.

The queen nodded and said, "Present the osmanthus cake I made for my sister." She said to the girl behind her.

Wang Laohu remembered that this girl was the queen's personal girl, named Po Yun, and saw that Po Yun served osmanthus cake from the side. Seeing this familiar osmanthus cake, Wang Laohu was not at ease.

Because this osmanthus cake is the culprit who poisoned Concubine Hui.

Could it be that the queen will repeat her old tricks, but he immediately denied his idea again, so in public, she will kill people openly?

"This is what this palace specially instructed the cook to do, and this palace knows that my sister has been in a bad mood in recent days, and no matter what, I can't treat my stomach badly." The queen said.

"Sister, thank you, sister, I had an accident, and it was too late for others to hide, but my sister still came to visit me." Qi Fei said.

"You've been so polite to me, sister for many years." The queen said, "Lord Wang." ”

"Wechen is here."

"The case has been cleared as soon as possible." Queen's Road.

"Yes."

"Sister, I'll go back to the dormitory first." The queen said and got up.

"Weichen (sister) sends off the queen." Wang Laohu and Concubine Qi said together.

The moment before the queen walked out of Concubine Qi's bedroom, the corners of her mouth rose upward, and her big eyes also showed a fierce light. Wang Laohu could hear what the queen meant, on the surface, she came to see Concubine Qi, but in fact she was the same as Liu Jin. The case was cleared as soon as possible, this is what the queen said, if the case is cleared, it will be the child in the belly of Concubine Qi.

Seeing the queen mother out of the strange concubine's bedroom, Wang Laohu asked Wang Chenran: "Did you figure it out just now?" ”

"Hui Gongzi, the queen didn't have time just now, and I haven't found out yet." Wang Chenran replied.

"Niangniang, can you let my people take the pulse again?"

Wang Chenran once again checked the pulse of Concubine Qi, and after a period of hard work, Wang Chenran had his own answer, Wang Laohu was very much looking forward to this answer, because this answer decided the fate of Concubine Qi, he pricked up his ears to listen to the answer that Wang Chenran gave him.

Concubine Qi thought the same as Wang Laohu, this is Wang Laohu's person, without the imperial doctor giving her a certificate, how heavy his words are, she knows, maybe his words can decide her life and death, as well as the fate of the child in her belly.

Wang Chen said: "Childe, Concubine Qi's pregnancy has indeed been more than six months. ”

"Six months?" Wang Laohu read a sentence. This is the same as what Concubine Qi said to herself, didn't she lie. Concubine Qi has not had sex with the emperor for more than half a year, and if you extrapolate from the time, the child in her belly should indeed be the emperor's child. She has a dragon seed in her belly!

When Wang Laohu learned of this conclusion, he was also taken aback, if this conclusion was true, then the first thing he had to solve was why the previous imperial doctor said that her stomach was only three months. Wang Laohu expressed his doubts and asked, "Why, the imperial doctor said that your belly is only three months old?" ”

Concubine Qi didn't think about it, and replied: "Originally, this palace didn't want everyone to know about this, this palace did this to protect the dragon in my belly, you know that Concubine Hui, and the queen's children are all gone in vain, so this palace would rather not let them know." Later, I couldn't hide it anymore, and the imperial doctor entered the palace, and I specially instructed him to let him say that I was only three months pregnant. ”

"It's Imperial Doctor Li."

"It's him." Concubine Qi said with certainty, "When the palace wanted the emperor to enter the palace, she told him the truth, but who knew that he didn't come to the palace's bedroom, and the palace didn't see him." ”

"You don't say anything to anyone, even if the emperor sends a micro-minister, you don't believe me, and you don't tell me the truth."

"In this palace, the palace doesn't know who to believe, so I'd rather everyone don't know about it, and let me give birth to the dragon quietly."

"But Niangniang, your belly will slowly get bigger, and the paper can't hold the fire?"

"That's it."

"What do you want to do now?" Wang Laohu asked.

"Lord Wang, can you see the emperor?"

Wang Laohu shook his head and said, "I rarely see the emperor. ”

"What then?" Concubine Qi was a little worried again.

"Niangniang, Weichen still has a question?" Wang Laohu said, "Dusty, since this mother's pregnancy is six months, why is her belly so small, it is not like June's pregnant belly at all." ”

"Hui Gongzi, when a woman is pregnant, there will be several situations, the most common of which is that the pregnancy period is equivalent to her belly, how big the belly is in a few months, and there are also special circumstances, such as a belly like Concubine Qi, six months old, it doesn't necessarily matter how big the belly is."

Wang Chenran's words, Wang Laohu believed it, that is to say, it was Concubine Qi's small belly that saved her and her child's lives.

"Will the fetus be malnourished and underdeveloped?" Wang Laohu has his own worries.

"Malnutrition?" This time it was Wang Chenran's turn to not understand.

Wang Laohu hurriedly explained: "With such a small belly, will the child in her not have a normal size?" Will it be difficult to feed? ”

"Don't worry about this, I have met such a pregnant woman, until a month before giving birth, her belly is growing fast, and there is no problem with the child she gave birth." Wang Chenran said.

"Listening to your explanation, I'm relieved." Wang Laohu said.

"Niangniang, Weichen has one last question, in order to protect the dragon seed in your belly, you would rather let people wrongfully accuse you of being pregnant with a wild seed, is it worth it for you to do this?" Wang Laohu asked.

Concubine Qi said: "In the past few years, all the concubines who are pregnant with dragon seeds, the children in their wombs are like being spelled, and they die one after another, sometimes giving their own lives. If I had said at the beginning that I was pregnant with a dragon seed, would I have been able to live with peace of mind for six months? ”

Concubine Qi's pregnant belly is not the same size as the month, which really brings her a trace of vitality.

would rather make people doubt than tell the truth, how much grievance does this woman have to bear, and how much perseverance does it have to do.
