"Whenever a concubine is pregnant with the emperor's child, Xiao will give the pregnant concubine a secret medicine called demon fetus, all the concubines who take this secret medicine will be in poor health and listless, but the imperial doctor can't see the symptoms when he takes the pulse.

But when it was time to give birth, the concubines must have given birth to demons, so that they angered the emperor's whole family to condemn them, and later because there were too many concubines who gave birth to demons, the emperor discovered the hands and feet done by the Xiao family.

This secret medicine has been circulating in the previous dynasty, and after the Xiao family, there were occasional concubines and wives and concubines of large families who would use this secret medicine to frame each other, until the Taizu of this dynasty broke the increasingly corrupt court of the previous dynasty and ordered the prescription of this secret medicine to be burned, leaving only a prescription to be entered into the library of this dynasty.

The courtiers were also favored by the emperor before, and when they were fortunate enough to enter the library to watch the prescription of the medical book, they saw the prescription of this secret medicine, and now it is exactly the same as Yang Concubine's symptoms, so it will be determined that Yang Concubine Niangniang is the secret medicine demon fetus of the previous dynasty. ”

The secret medicine demon fetus, the name of this secret medicine, the emperor has really heard of it, because when the emperor's teacher taught him the way of the emperor, he once told the emperor about the jealousy of the Xiao family in the previous dynasty.

The purpose is to educate the emperor that he must not use a jealous queen, and he must not let the concubines have the opportunity to be jealous of the harem.

The emperor also has a deep memory of this, and for the first time he felt the harm of women's jealousy, so when the emperor chose the queen, he didn't like her appearance and talent, but only focused on her character, and chose a queen with a gentle and generous personality.

Although he has his own preferences for treating his concubines, he has always been a lot of favor for the high-ranking concubines who have been promoted, and he also tries not to marry the daughters of high-ranking officials and ministers, because it is inevitable that the daughters of other families will be in a high position after entering the palace, and once they are jealous and have their mother's help, the harm caused will be great.

This time, if it weren't for the use of troops in the northwest and the intentions of his courtiers, the emperor would not have wronged himself and broken his rule of not accepting the daughters of high-ranking officials.

The emperor was in a mood of anger and confusion for a while, and was silent for a while, and suddenly looked at Yang Concubine's personal palace maid Lian'er, "Lian'er, you said before that Yang Concubine suddenly fainted because she was bumped into by Cheng Meiren, how did Cheng Meiren collide with Yang Concubine?" ”

Lian'er's face changed and she knelt down with a puff, and said in a trembling voice: "Back to the emperor, before, Cheng Meiren came to ask our mother to say goodbye, slave maid, slave maid went out to get tea in the pantry, and when she came back, she found that Niangniang had fainted on the ground, and Cheng Meiren was standing in front of Niangniang."

The slave maid saw that the mother was in a coma, and in a hurry, the slave thought that it was Cheng Meiren who collided with our mother and caused the mother to faint.

Your Majesty, the slave maid is also worried that the mother is in a hurry and will blurt out that it is Cheng Meiren who rudely collided with our mother, slave maid, slave maid is also too worried about Niangniang, worry is chaos, slave maid ......"

After Nangong Shuangshuang's diagnosis came out, Lian'er knew that it was not good, and at this time, the explanation was a little incoherent, and her whole body trembled with fear.

The emperor laughed angrily at Lian'er's words, raised the teacup in his hand and threw it on Lian'er's head, the emperor shot out angrily, with great force, Lian'er's head was immediately smashed, bleeding, blood flowed into Lian'er's eyes, but Lian'er didn't dare to wipe it, just kowtowed and begged the emperor for forgiveness.

"You beg me to spare you, a slave with empty mouth and white teeth dares to slander my concubine with speculation, who gave you the guts! You still dare to beg for mercy, come to someone, drag it down, and kill it with a cane! "The emperor was already angry, but it happened that this lotus hit the muzzle of the gun, and was directly used by the emperor to vent his anger.

Hearing the emperor say that the cane would be killed, Lian'er collapsed on the ground, and before she even shouted for mercy, she was covered by the two eunuchs who came up and grabbed her arm, and dragged her out directly, Lian'er's eyes were full of tears of horror.

When the emperor came to Yang Concubine to accompany the pregnant Yang Concubine before, he was cut off twice by Cheng Meiren, so Lian'er lied in order to help her master get rid of a thorn in her eye.

Lian'er didn't expect Nangong Shuangshuang to be so powerful, and after a diagnosis, she exposed her lies, since Concubine Yang fainted because she was poisoned by a secret medicine, naturally it has nothing to do with Cheng Meiren.

After Lian'er was dragged down, the emperor glanced at everyone in the room and said coldly: "Everything that happened today, everyone has shut up for me, if you dare to leak half a bit of news, I will not spare it." ”

The emperor's meaning is obvious, he wants to find out who gave Yang Concubine the secret medicine, so he asked for the news to be kept secret, and it can't be spread out to be discovered by the black hands behind the scenes, so that the grass startles the snake, Nangong Shuangshuang and others salute.

Nangong Shuangshuang's face was calm, but her heart was excited, she had been thinking about how to deal with the time bomb of the Queen Mother, but she didn't expect that before she could think of what means to use to pull the Queen Mother down, the Queen Mother died by herself.

Now it's okay, the emperor's ability is by no means comparable to the little manpower that the queen mother hides in the harem, unless the emperor is not suspicious and does not investigate, once the emperor is suspicious and let people check, the queen mother will definitely not be able to hide for long.

As long as the ambition of the Queen Mother is discovered, and he wants to stop his heirs from calculating his throne, no matter how good the emperor is about his reputation, he will never tolerate the Queen Mother for any reputation, no matter how good the face is, it is not as important as the dragon chair under the buttocks, as long as the emperor tears his face and cleans up the Queen Mother, it is a trivial matter.

After letting everyone keep it a secret, the emperor sighed deeply, and first instructed Song Lin, "You go and ask someone to send Cheng Meiren back, just say that I wronged her, let her not take it to heart, and I will definitely compensate in the future." ”

In the emperor's understatement, he didn't mention that Cheng Meiren might have knelt down and scrapped her legs, nor did he really care about Cheng Meiren's grievances.

casually instructed Song Lin to deal with Cheng Meiren's affairs, and the emperor looked at Nangong Shuangshuang again, and asked her with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Nangong Nushi, do you have a way to unlock the poison of the demon fetus in Concubine Yang without saving the fetus." ”

Nangong shook his head, "Your Majesty, forgive the incompetence of the courtiers, the secret medicine of the demon fetus is a malformation that allows the fetus in a woman's womb to begin to develop at the beginning of pregnancy, this fetus is destined not to stay, the courtiers can't make the fetus return to normal, and the courtiers can help Yang Concubine to remove the poison of the demon fetus in her, but the fetus in the womb of Yang Concubine Niangniang will flow down after starting to detoxify." ”

The emperor actually asked like that, and didn't expect Nangong Shuangshuang to be able to relieve the toxicity of the demon fetus, but now he was not much disappointed when he heard Nangong Shuangshuang say that he couldn't, but sighed again and said: "You go down, by the way, go and see if Cheng Meiren's legs are injured after kneeling for so long." ”
