The next day, the imperial physician came to Yongshou Palace, saw Zhao Guifei, and after the ceremony, the imperial physician smiled and said: "Niangniang, the minister is guilty!" ”

Concubine Zhao's expression changed, and she immediately smiled: "Imperial Physician Wang, the recent matter of the two concubines in the palace has nothing to do with you, it is really a creation to make people, it is the two of them who are not blessed, so there is no need to blame yourself." ”

Doctor Wang said: "Xie Niangniang is compassionate, but the minister is close to old age, and the concubine is to blame for the recent incident, so I ask Niangniang to resign, and the quasi-minister tells the old man to return to his hometown, and I beg Niangniang to be gracious!" ”

Concubine Zhao's eyes drifted with a hint of mystery, and she said with a smile: "In this case, the imperial physician can leave according to the rules of the palace, but this matter has not yet ended, I don't know what the imperial physician has planned?" ”

Doctor Wang said with a smile: "Back to the concubine Niangniang, the queen Niangniang eats less pastries, so there has not been a slippery tire, and now the trend, the Niangniang only needs to wait for time, and the good news can be expected, and the wish will be fulfilled." ”

Seeing this situation, Concubine Zhao Guifei had made up her mind and could not be retained, although she was unhappy, she did not force her to stay, but fortunately, her disciple Zhang Jingyan could be a confidant, so she made another plan in her heart.

In the past few days, after the matter of Concubine Yi and Concubine Chen, ensuring that the queen gave birth to a dragon heir smoothly is the most important thing in the palace, and the things used are checked and screened strictly by the respect room. Although the queen occasionally felt unwell, the imperial doctors could not find the cause after all, so they came to the conclusion that it was caused by restlessness and unstable thoughts. Concubine Zhao couldn't think of any way, so she still made some food and sent it over, but the effect was not satisfactory.

Such a major event happened in the palace, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang naturally attached great importance to it, since the matter of Concubine Yi and Concubine Chen happened one after another, she was suspicious in her heart, thinking about it all day, after all, she didn't know, on this day, calling Ruobing to come, Xiaozhuang asked her opinion.

Ruobing replied: "In such a short period of time, it is no coincidence that the concubines have slipped tires in a row, there must be something strange in it, but the courtiers checked the living records of the two and did not find anything suspicious, it is really incredible, is it really a coincidence?" ”

Xiaozhuang's face was solemn, and he said: "The mourning family entered the palace at the age of sixteen, and the things in the harem are strange and bloody, and the core of everything is to be jealous and compete for favor. Moreover, do you remember what Shangguan Hong said about the jade unicorn, there must be a disaster if you are suspicious, but we haven't found the reason yet, but there are people in the palace who harbor evil intentions and secretly have malicious intentions, and they actually cut off my royal heirs and move my royal foundation, and this person must be among the concubines in the harem. There are not many people with this ability, you immediately let Concubine Zhao and Concubine Lan investigate this matter separately, these two people have their own clusters, and use this matter to balance each other and even fight, I believe that the clues will be revealed. ”

Ruobing said: "Huang Eniang, Concubine Zhao and the queen entered the palace at the same time to serve the saint, they have a deep relationship, and they have always been well-behaved, and Concubine Chen is her sister, then Concubine Lan has a resolute and honest temperament, and her intelligence is abnormal, so the two of them should not do this." ”

Xiaozhuang said: "You only know one of them, at this time the harem has formed two major forces, and the mourning family is also happy to see this situation, but I never imagined that there are people who are extremely vicious and do this evil thing." What you said is not unreasonable, but things in the world are not static, and people's hearts are unpredictable beyond you and I can imagine, this matter must be maliciously designed by someone to teach the two to act secretly, and at the same time you have to work in secret to protect the queen. ”

Ruobing said: "I respect the emperor's decree, I will do it immediately, from today onwards, I will take care of the queen in Kunning Palace until she gives birth to the dragon heir safely!" ”

On this day, Ruobing came to Chengqian Palace to convey the will of the Empress Dowager, Shangguan Lan'er already had great doubts about today's events, and after getting the will of the Empress Dowager, she was even more convinced of her judgment, and there must be something strange in this matter, so she said: "Auntie, according to what you said, there is nothing suspicious about the diet and daily life of the two, can you ask Aunt Ruobing to tell her brother Shangguan Hong, and ask your brother to secretly assist in investigating this matter thoroughly." Ruobing girl nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but secretly praise Shangguan Lan'er for being quite patterned and courageous, the harem is often connected with the previous dynasty, and it is really the best policy to check inside and outside, and peel off the cocoon.

And Concubine Zhao was even more complacent at this time, and ordered her to investigate the matter thoroughly, and she was in her arms, so she naturally would not fail to admit herself, but seeing that the queen was becoming more and more pregnant, she was a little anxious in her heart. Today, she summoned Zhang Jingyan and plotted this matter again.

Concubine Zhao said with a smile: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, you have been in the palace for nearly ten years, and you are quite qualified. You help me at this time, the mourning family has written it down in my heart, and I will not treat you badly, and you must have received the Jingdong Mansion given by my father, can you be satisfied? ”

Zhang Jingyan said: "Niangniang's great grace is unforgettable, since the master and Niangniang entrusted this matter, the minister will hand over his net worth and life to Niangniang to repay Niangniang's great kindness." ”

Concubine Zhao said: "It's just that why don't you dare to put Huan Yisan in the queen's medicine, now that the son in the queen's womb is growing more and more, seeing that it is uncontrollable, how can it be good?" ”

Zhang Jingyan said: "Back to Niangniang, the queen has to go through two imperial doctors before using medicine, and the medicine residue will be kept for investigation, and it is a bad move to put Huan Yisan into the medicine, so the master has never done this, but it is recommended to put it in tea and pastries." And all the queen's diet and daily life are strictly arranged by Princess Ruobing, the minister has asked, no longer eat pastries and the like, and the minister does not recommend that the mother have the mind to move the queen's meal, because there are too many people involved, there will be a time to be exposed. But this matter is not impossible, don't forget, when it comes to childbirth, there is still a chance to take advantage of it! ”

After hearing this, Concubine Zhao's heart suddenly brightened, as if she had seen the sun and the moon, and said: "Indeed, as you said, for this matter, I have paid the hardships of Concubine Chen, and you and I can really control the queen's childbirth?"

Zhang Jingyan sneered: "Naturally controllable, the person who delivered the queen in the palace was determined as early as the beginning of the queen's joy, so the master had the heart to succeed, and the midwife Li Mama in the palace has been in the palace for more than 20 years. But everyone doesn't know, but before he entered the palace, he had an illegitimate only daughter, and he gave birth to a grandson a few days ago, and he only needs to be controlled by someone to make it happen. ”

Concubine Zhao smiled and said, "That's very good!"

Concubine Zhao had been calculating and planning all day long, and the progress was very smooth, and seeing that the queen was about to give birth, she was both nervous and excited. Whenever I think of the queen giving birth, due to the death of both mother and child due to dystocia, she can not help but feel overjoyed.

And the most important thing at the moment is to solve the biggest threat to her, Shangguan Lan'er. Recently, she found that Shangguan Lan'er secretly inspected the palaces, especially the diet and daily life of the queen, Concubine Chen and Concubine Yi. She knows that Shangguan Lan'er is extremely intelligent, and over time, it is inevitable that she will find out the clues, so it is better to strike first!

Within a few days, Imperial Physician Wang hanged himself at his home, and Imperial Physician Zhang disappeared for no apparent reason.

On this day, Concubine Zhao summoned Concubine Yi to Yongshou Palace, and she comforted her in every way, such as accompanying the saint for a long time, not caring about temporary losses, everything is ahead, and so on. Concubine Yi is now slightly better physically and mentally than the day before yesterday, but after all, she is reluctant to give up, but she feels helpless.

Concubine Zhao said: "Sister, I didn't want to tell you about this matter, but you and I have a deep sisterhood, and the stakes are very high, and I can't bear you to be affected by this without knowing it.

You entered the palace with Concubine Wan, Concubine Lan and Concubine Chen, originally as a younger sister, there is no problem in entering the palace to seal the concubine, just because of your family background, you are wronged to be a concubine, but your existence must be a threat, so my sister Concubine Chen targeted you a few days ago, this matter has passed, you don't have to care.

Pity my sister Concubine Chen, who was plotted and retributed, but I didn't expect you to be murdered by this. The day before yesterday, the Empress Dowager ordered me to investigate the matter between you and Concubine Chen, and I discovered an astonishing secret, the matter between you and Concubine Chen was done by Concubine Lan! ”
