Returning to the Yilan Palace, Lingxi felt uneasy, and for the first time, she felt that the existence of a person was a serious threat to her survival.

With Concubine Ren's current position and identity, there is no need to admit mistakes with such a low attitude as Lingxi. But just when everyone thought it was impossible, Concubine Ren really bowed to Lingxi.

This worship, no one thinks that Concubine Ren is lowly. Only a dull-brained concubine would think that Concubine Ren really wanted to settle her old suspicions with Lingxi.

It can only be said that Concubine Ren is too forbearing.

In order to be able to go far in this palace, she let go of all her dignity as Princess Otsuki.

The more Concubine Ren is like this, the deeper the jealousy of Concubine Ren in Lingxi's heart.

It is conceivable what a person who can be so ruthless to himself will be to the enemy. If Concubine Ren gave birth to the child and left her a place to live in the Dashun harem, then she would reflexively put herself and Xian Guifei to death.

Can't let the child in Concubine Ren's womb be born, this is the most urgent and true thought in Lingxi's heart.

Sitting in front of the water mirror, Lingxi took out the jewelry box that she had been keeping close to her, which contained the objects that she had been rewarded by the palace masters when she was a palace maid.

This delicate box carved with a large peony flower is divided into three layers.

On the first layer of the box, there are jewelry made of fine jade. Magnolia hairpins, jade bracelets, warm jade earrings, agate plate fingers. One sect, the same, is carefully wrapped in red fine flannel.

On the second floor of the box, there are jewelry inlaid with various colored gemstones. Earrings made of broken rubies, three-tailed phoenix hairpins made of emeralds, dripping water sways made of sapphires, red gold beads, and pure gold wrist ornaments. These things are packed in a small cloth bag embroidered by Chun'er for Lingxi, which preserves these jewelry to the greatest extent and does not scratch each other.

On the third floor of the box, there were only two things. One is the plain silver inlaid pearl hairpin on her head when Mei Guifei was a palace maid during the Yonghe Emperor, this hairpin is hollow, although the space is not large, the effect is very large.

The second is a thin red waist rope. This rope is made of fine silk threads mixed with gold and silver wire, and is about half a zhang long. In addition to seven small carved jade beads in the middle, a piece of aqua green jade pendant not much larger than a fingernail was tied to its tail. The other end of the waist rope was tied into a rope. Around the waist, the small jade pendant is buckled together with the rope, which is very good-looking.

This waist rope was given to Lingxi by Li Lingyun in the twenty-first year of Yonghe, and Lingxi was tied around his waist every day in the summer. Seven jade beads are strung together against the delicate skin, which can often give birth to a trace of coolness and relieve the heat.

After three years of winter in Yong'an, Lingxi put away the waist rope and never got on it again.

Lingxi held the waist rope for a long time, letting its cold jade pendant sway lightly on the side of his hand, and his thoughts had already drifted back to a few years ago.

The lotus leaf came in with the medicinal juice, and what he saw was Lingxi looking in a daze.

After putting down the medicine bowl, Lotus Leaf whispered to Lingxi, "Jieyu, it's time to take medicine." ”

Lingxi came back to his senses, put the waist rope in his hand back into the box, and reached out to pick up the warm medicine bowl. Lingxi's body was a little uncomfortable before the grounding was lifted, his chest was stuffy, he couldn't eat, and he was lazy and sleepy all day. After the imperial doctor came, he didn't find anything wrong, but only prescribed some herbs to strengthen the spleen and eliminate food, so that the lotus leaves were fried every day to nourish the appetite of the lingxi.

Lingxi has eaten too much medicinal juice in the past few years, and he will frown when he looks at the medicine bowl. Fortunately, this time the medicinal juice is sweet and sour, not bitter, and she likes to drink it.

As soon as a bowl of medicinal juice fell into his abdomen, Lingxi only felt his stomach churning, and he vomited the medicinal juice back into the bowl in an uproar.

Lotus Ye waited on the side, so frightened that he hurriedly patted Lingxi's back, "Jieyu, but this medicine doesn't taste right today?" ”

Lingxi took the teacup handed by Qiaozhu and rinsed his mouth, shaking his head at the lotus leaf again and again, "No, it's still the smell of the sky." It just falls into the stomach, and the acid has to go up. ”

As he spoke, he covered his mouth and became disgusted again.

Lotus Ye was prepared this time, and hurriedly came over with a spittoon.

Lingxi hugged the spittoon and retched, and when he got up, tears flowed out.

Qiaozhu came in with a teacup, and when he saw this, he hurriedly poured tea and rinsed Lingxi's mouth, frowned and said, "Jieyu, please take a look at the doctor." ”

"I didn't say anything last time the Imperial Doctor came, and it's only been a few days, I'm afraid the Imperial Doctor will get tired of it." Lingxi rinsed her mouth, took the plain white handkerchief handed to her by the lotus leaf, tried the corners of her mouth, and said, "Right now, Concubine Ren is pregnant with a dragon heir, and I am not on good terms with her." If you toss the imperial doctor around at this time, it will inevitably leave others behind. ”

Seeing the unwillingness of Lotus Ye and Qiaozhu, Lingxi's slightly pale face pulled a smile, and said, "Besides, I'm not sick, but I'm in a hurry, pay attention next time, just slow down." Lingxi stretched out his hand to pull the lotus leaf and Qiaozhu, and said coquettishly, "Good lotus leaf, good Qiaozhu, come, give me a smile." Why don't I give you a laugh? ”

Lotus Ye was amused by the spirit rhino and laughed out loud, and finally stopped keeping a straight face. But she still nagged, "If Jieyu is uncomfortable, she must say it, don't care about others and wronged yourself." ”

"That's it." Qiaozhu echoed indignantly, "Concubine Ren is so domineering, why did Jieyu wronged herself because of her." If she hadn't been pregnant with the dragon heir, she would have had her part in speaking in front of Jieyu! ”

"Look, look," Lingxi pointed at Qiaozhu and smiled at the lotus leaf, "Qiaozhu's mouth is getting more and more powerful." Lingxi nodded Qiaozhu's forehead, and said, "You are only allowed to say this in front of me, and if it reaches the ears of outsiders, you will be dragged to the explosion room and killed." ”

Qiaozhu's mouth is fast, but it's not without scheming. She knew that Lingxi's words were for her good, so she grimaced at Lingxi and said, "The slave maid will make tea for Jieyu, and let Jieyu suppress the sourness in her stomach." ”

didn't wait for Lingxi to nod, Qiaozhu ran out with a smoke.

Lingxi looked at the direction where Qiaozhu left and smiled, turned back to Lotus Ye and said, "Is Xiao Dezi back?" Seeing the lotus leaf shaking his head, Lingxi said again, "When he comes back, you let him come to see me." ”

After sending the lotus leaf away, Lingxi opened the secret pavilion of the jewelry box.

The carved box looks like a three-story box, but there is actually a small hidden pavilion in the deepest part. It is placed in the secret pavilion, which is the real belongings left by Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager to Lingxi.

In the red porcelain vase is the configured Dream Fan Huan. After Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager left the palace, Lingxi only used this medicine once, and that was on his own body.

The amount of medicine that could not be covered by a fingernail helped her get rid of the concubine.

In the blue and white porcelain vase, it is a powder-like dangmenzi, also known as musk. This musk was obtained by her from Empress Shizuhito.

In the nineteenth year of Yonghe, Empress Jingren was given a cup of poisoned wine by Emperor Yonghe and died in the cold palace. Inadvertently, he found a different kind of cave under his phoenix couch.

Emperor Yonghe had no children in his later years and only had a few princesses, which had a great relationship with this small blue and white porcelain vase.

Along with this blue and white porcelain vase, there is also the pink porcelain vase. The bottle was filled with the poison that Cui Guifei and Mei Concubine drank in their stomachs bowl by bowl and inhibited fetal growth.

In addition to these two, there are black porcelain bottles, green porcelain bottles, purple porcelain bottles, and there are as many as 20 bottles of all kinds......

When Lingxi got these bottles and cans, he was frightened, and he took them back to the Yongshou Palace and taught them to the hands of Xiao and the Empress Dowager. Before leaving the palace, Kexiao and the Empress Dowager put these things in a jewelry box, and pasted the usage, effect, and dosage of each medicine on their bottles......

Lingxi has always been reluctant to touch this dark pavilion, Emperor Yong'an is the grandson of filial piety and the empress dowager, she can't bear to use the poison in this dark pavilion to harm the descendants of filial piety and the empress dowager.

Can ...... now

Lingxi silver teeth clenched, filial piety and the empress dowager left these things for her, which was to let her live. Now that Concubine Ren threatened whether she could live safely, she had no reason to be kind.

Just when Lingxi was planning the affairs of Concubine Ren, Imperial Physician Shi, who had been taking care of Lingxi's body, knelt on the ground with a happy face and said to Lingxi, "Congratulations to Yingjieyu, congratulations to Yingjieyu, Jieyu is overjoyed, she has been pregnant with the dragon heir for two months." ”

After drinking the medicinal juice that day, Lingxi couldn't stop retching, and finally couldn't wring the lotus leaves, so she finally invited Doctor Shi, who took care of her body on weekdays.

When Lingxi first heard it, she thought she had heard it wrong, she just ate the wrong thing and retched a few times, and that's it, she was pregnant?

Imperial Physician Shi was so happy that he almost cried, and said to Ling Xi in a sincere tone, "Yingjieyu, although Weichen's specialty is not gynecology but typhoid fever, but the pulse of this slippery pulse must be good." If Jieyu doesn't believe Weichen, she will invite the gynecology expert Liu Taiyi to come and have a look......"

In fact, when Dr. Shi Taiyi gave Lingxi appetizing herbs, he wondered that Lingxi was pregnant. But as he himself said, he was good at typhoid fever, and if he told Lingxi but he didn't, he would really lose his head.

Lingxi hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe in Imperial Doctor Shi, I can't trust myself." Lingxi ordered Imperial Physician Shi to get up, and then said slowly, "I have been with the emperor for a few years, but I have never been pregnant. Now Dr. Shi says I'm two months pregnant, and I'm ......."

After Standing up, Doctor Shi wiped the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and arched his hand, "Yingjieyu has not been pregnant because Yingjieyu has a cold uterus. In the past two years, Weichen has been using medicine to help Jieyu carefully regulate her body, and she has improved greatly. Now conception is a matter of course. ”

Lingxi's heart was already happy, and this child was what she thought about for a long time.

But the more this happened, the more she didn't dare to speak out. Although she is cautious and does not make enemies of others on weekdays, who knows which jealous concubine will kill her behind her back? Therefore, Lingxi ordered Doctor Shi and Lotus Leaf not to publicize it to the outside world while being happy, how could it be that the first three months had passed, and the fetus would be stable.

The next day, Lingxi said to Queen Zhu that she was sick and took leave, and raised the fetus in the Yilan Palace with peace of mind. Day after day, the various symptoms of Lingxi's pregnancy gradually revealed, and Lingxi became more and more sure that she was indeed pregnant.

On December 20 of the fifth year of Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an sealed the four-grade Yingjie Yu as a concubine from the third-grade Ying, and gave her residence in the Lingyan Hall of Yongle Palace.
