Gao Lingxi had long expected that the queen would ask, and she was not shocked or impatient in her affairs, and she was calm and suspicious: "There is such a rumor, if it weren't for the queen's mother's mother, the concubine would really have no way of knowing." ”

With a sigh, her face showed a bit of arrogance, Gao Lingxi said slowly: "In all dynasties, pregnant palace concubines will become the target of public criticism, and the concubine is now walking on the tip of this knife, and it is not the concubine's wish to be jealous and resentful." However, the rumors stop at the wise, the queen mother, you are a phoenix lord with great wisdom, you will definitely not believe such nonsense. ”

Lan Xin didn't care, and gently relaxed her lips: "This palace also knows that the wind may not be without a cause. Naturally, hearing is false, but seeing should always be believing. Guifei, you have been pregnant for two months, what is the taste of a bowl of tocolytic pills every day recently, and you don't even realize it? ”

Hearing this, Bi Lan rushed to kneel down before Concubine Hui spoke: "The slave is guilty, and I hope that the queen will punish her." It is really unpredictable in the palace, and the slaves and maids are afraid that someone will do tricks and feet in the medicine, and they dare not give it to the concubine. And what the concubine Niangniang drinks all day is nourishing soup made in the small kitchen. ”

"What do you think of this harem as a place?" Jin Lan glanced at Bi Lan harshly, and said arrogantly: "Concubine Hui Gui Niangniang's body is expensive, and the tonic used was ordered by the Empress Niangniang to be purchased by the Internal Affairs Office and sent to the imperial pharmacy. From decoction, boiling medicine to tasting medicine and delivering medicine, they were all tested by credible people one by one to ensure that they were safe and secure before they dared to come to Chuxiu Palace. Bilan, if you say this, isn't it to frame the queen's mother, but you can know the death penalty. ”

"The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't mean to frame the queen's mother. Auntie spare the slave and maid. Bi Lan knew that saying this would inevitably cause disaster for herself, but if she didn't say so, Concubine Hui didn't even know the taste of fetal pills, and she was indeed a little too much to say. Moreover, it is better to punish oneself than to condemn one's master.

Having made up her mind, Bi Lan cried and said: "It was the slave maid who pretended to be smart, and she did not give the concubine Minghui Gui Niangniang's fetal medicine to be replaced by the slave maid with some medicinal soup." Niangniang is pregnant for the first time, and she doesn't know what the fetal pill should be like. ”

Jinlan glanced at the queen's face, and asked Bilan aggressively: "In this way, it is your slave's idea to dump the fetal pills." And Concubine Hui never knew about it, and she never instructed you at all? ”

"Back to my aunt's words, that's exactly the case." Bi Lan wants to tighten the root of his teeth and is not ready to change his mouth.

Gao Lingxi's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said with a calm face: "Bilan, you really don't need to be like this, with the protection of the queen's mother, this baby in this palace will definitely be born smoothly." Don't hurry up and confess to the queen and ask for forgiveness from the mother. ”

Lan Xin snorted lightly and said sonorously: "Bi Lan poured out the fetal pills without authorization and replaced them with the soup with the medicinal diet for Concubine Hui to drink, whether it was her own intention or the instructions of others, I am afraid it is not difficult to see." But this palace is not concerned with the loyalty of a slave. The imperial heir is related to the continuation of the Qing Dynasty, and it is not something that can be counted just by the three words of the concubine. ”

"And what do you want, Queen Mother?" Gao Lingxi spoke softly, hiding her sharp edge, and smiled as sweetly as in the old days: "You can not believe the words of the concubine, don't you even believe the words of the imperial doctor?" Still, Niangniang, you don't want to wait for another two or three months, when the concubine's abdomen is high and bulging, everything will inevitably be clear. ”

"Concubine Hui said with a smile, it's okay to wait like this, but I can't stand the slave maid dropping such a good medicinal soup every day." Jin Lan said in a reined tone: "Please ask Imperial Doctor Cao to come over and take a look, the queen mother can calm down the rumors in the harem with peace of mind, and you can take the medicine with peace of mind, right?" ”

Gao Lingxi slowly stood up, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly: "In this way, the queen would rather believe the gossip that has accumulated and ruined the bones, and is not willing to believe the concubine?" ”

"Real gold is not afraid of fire, Concubine Hui should understand this simple truth." Lan Xin met Gao Lingxi's peaceful and watery eyes, and said unhurriedly: "This palace is also for the sake of the concubine, in the early stage of pregnancy, there is no stability of the fetal pill, if there is anything wrong with the dragon fetus, I am afraid that this palace and you will not be able to bear this relationship." Jinlan, please come in. ”

Seeing that the queen's position was not achieving her goal, Gao Lingxi was a little flustered, although it was speculated that the queen was deliberately trying to find out the person who was secretly causing trouble. But if you really take the lead to find out the truth about your fake pregnancy, then ...... Will the queen keep her mouth shut? Before his heart was settled, Gao Lingxi had already seen Cao Xuyan who walked in.

It is no secret that the queen's mother family and the Cao family are family friends. Cao Xuyan was able to be valued by the emperor, but it was somewhat due to the queen's recommendation, when he entered the palace, he was nominally for the third elder brother Yongzhang to diagnose the symptoms, but in fact, it was clear that the queen had already supported reliable people by her side. No, that's where it comes in handy today.

The cold sweat damped his heart in an instant, but Gao Lingxi still had a peach blossom on her face, and smiled affectionately: "The concubine became pregnant, and she told the sixth palace in the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, don't forget that the imperial doctor who did not ask the concubine for the pulse that day was the imperial doctor who served the Empress Dowager for decades." If you don't believe in the concubines, don't let the queen mother be too careful. If the queen mother is unhappy and depressed, the concubine really can't bear this responsibility. ”

After moving out, she bluffed, and it seemed that Concubine Hui's trick was probably like this. Lan Xin's face was serious, and her eyes were full of deep regret: "Concubine Hui doesn't have to worry, if the Queen Mother is to blame, the palace will bear it." If the harem is not blocked, the troubles of the Queen Mother will definitely intensify. Imperial Doctor Cao, you can ask for the pulse of Concubine Hui with peace of mind. ”

"Yes, Queen." Cao Xu extended his salute and respectfully offended Concubine Hui: "Concubine Niangniang, please sit down, the minister will ask for the pulse of the Niangniang himself, and there will never be a difference." ”

Gao Lingxi gasped and resented, although he was reluctant, he was afraid to tear his face with the queen, so he had to put his jade wrist on the pulse pillow.

Cao Xu took a piece of white silk, gently covered Hui Guifei's wrist, and rested his hand on the pulse steadily.

At this moment, everyone held their breath, and their eyes fell directly on Cao Xuyan's five fingers, as if they could hear their own heartbeat. Even the girls like Jinlan and Suo Lan felt that their foreheads were full of cold sweat, and the thrilling feeling was probably like this.

Everyone is afraid that as soon as Cao Xuyan speaks, it will be enough to turn the world upside down.

Gao Lingxi stared at him even more with good eyes, for fear of saying a word of truth from his mouth. It is clearly for the emperor's worries that he will force himself to this step of the field, and now it is good, and he is ruined alive in the hands of the queen. A little impatient, Gao Lingxi withdrew his hand: "After taking it for so long, I believe that Imperial Doctor Cao has already come to a conclusion." In that case, you can tell the truth in front of the queen. ”

There was a bit of a broken jar, and Gao Lingxi glanced at him resentfully: "No, it's not a waste of effort here." The implication is that since it is a fake pregnancy, as long as the queen dares to expose it, she will also accept it all. Anyway, coming and going, it is all to see the emperor's face, if the emperor wants to protect his reputation, the dignity of the royal family, and send himself to the cold palace, he can only admit that he is unlucky.

"Why is Concubine Hui so impetuous, this palace also hopes that you are good, so I have to clear the troubles around you." Lan Xin looked at Gao Lingxi, smiled contemptuously, and casually asked Cao Xuyan: "How is it, is the little elder brother stable in Concubine Hui's womb." Healthy? ”

Cao Xuyan frowned, his expression was extremely gloomy, as if he had great concerns. "Minister......

Gao Lingxi had already prepared for the worst, so he didn't want to listen to it.

"The palace and Concubine Hui are both here, and there is no one else in the palace, you just have to say it." Lan Xin urged Cao Xuyan a little impatiently. "The provincial nuisance Hui Guifei rests, let's make a long story short."

"The minister is not as optimistic as the queen's mother, and the concubine Hui Guifei is vain and dry, and her body is not particularly good. The fetus is really slippery and weak, and the minister is worried that if it is not properly regulated, it may be dangerous. Cao Xuyan said these words against his will, although he knew it at all, where was the imperial heir in Concubine Hui's belly!

"What?" Gao Lingxi was a little surprised: "You said that this palace is ......"

"Niangniang, Imperial Doctor Cao is saying that your body is weak and the dragon fetus is unstable." Or Bi Lan knew Hui Guifei's temperament best, afraid that she would say the wrong thing, so she hurriedly stopped: "It's all the slave and maid who are not good, how dare the slave and maid secretly dump your fetal pills, it is the slave and the maid who hurt you, it is the slave and the maid's fault, please let the slave and maid make the merit and serve you to give birth to your brother safely." ”

Gao Lingxi came back to her senses at this time, coughed lightly, and said to Baolan: "Don't roar, it's a headache for the palace." Imperial Doctor Cao is the best doctor in the whole harem, and there must be a way to help the palace to maintain the fetus. Is it Imperial Doctor Cao? ”

Lan Xin's heart was a little relieved, and he couldn't stop bowing his head: "This palace is exactly this thought, Cao Xuyan's medical skills, even the emperor praises it endlessly." Since Concubine Hui Guifei trusts him, then all the matters related to your pregnancy will be handed over to him to take care of. The cold light gradually warmed up, and Lan Xin calmly met Gao Lingxi's eyes: "Isn't this very good, this palace can block everyone's mouths, and your child will no longer be in danger." ”

This could not be more obvious, Gao Lingxi was ashamed of himself. It turned out that the queen knew early on that she was not pregnant, and this was just to hide people's eyes. And she sold such a big favor to herself in the middle of things, did she already know that it was ordered by the emperor? How is this possible?

"Concubine, thank you to the queen." Gao Lingxi buried all her doubts in the bottom of her heart: "If the concubines are tired, they won't send the queen back to the palace in person, Bilan, you will send one for me." ”

Lan Xin got up gently, still in an elegant posture: "There is no need to go back to the palace, the palace wants to go to the elder brother's office." Concubine Hui has a good rest. He gave birth to Lin'er for the emperor one day, and his contribution was indispensable. Hongu is also really looking forward to it. ”

It seemed that a hole had been cut in his heart, and Gao Lingxi couldn't do it: "Everything is expected by the mother, the concubine is sincerely afraid, and only her heart is full of gratitude." Congratulations to the Queen. ”
