Chapter 15 The plan is calculated

Zhao Zi'er suddenly became mysterious, and Empress Lu unconsciously moved her body to Zhao Meiren, and casually picked up a roll of bamboo slips and looked at it casually.

"Does Niangniang know that there is a pregnant palace maid living in Beiyuan?" Zhao Meiren asked Lu Hou tentatively.

North Garden? Empress Lu's eyes immediately lit up, and she suddenly remembered this Beiyuan, and not long ago, she happened to meet Imperial Doctor Qin going to Beiyuan. Thinking about the scene of the day, I met a panicked palace maid in the corridor, holding a package full of belongings in her hand, and hurriedly went to Beiyuan. Later, I met Imperial Doctor Qin again and said that he was going to Beiyuan to see a girl. Imperial Physician Qin didn't know the girl's name and surname, but said that it was ordered by the emperor. Empress Lu was suspicious at the time, thinking that the palace maid must have been favored by the emperor, so she went to the extremely remote Beiyuan to raise a baby. At that time, Empress Lu encountered too many things, so he didn't pay too much attention to this matter, and gradually forgot about it. Talking about the woman in Beiyuan inexplicably, I don't know what Zhao Meiren wants to say. But she can't show that she knows, she wants to figure out Zhao Meiren's purpose and lead her thoughts out. So he pretended not to know and asked Zhao Zi'er, "How do you know?" ”

Zhao Meiren said, "A few days ago, the concubine went to sit with Mrs. Guan, and on the way, I happened to see Imperial Doctor Qin going to Beiyuan. How did the Imperial Doctor go to the remote North Garden? The concubine sent someone to follow, and the person who came back reported that it was for a girl to see a doctor, but the girl was submissive, looking frightened, and the old palace people in Beiyuan served her very well, and she was pregnant after an inquiry. ”

In fact, this was not discovered by Zhao Meiren, but there was another mysterious woman, and it was not Zhao Meiren who went to Mrs. Guan, but a mysterious woman who came to Zhao Meiren and accidentally discovered that Imperial Physician Qin went to Beiyuan to check the pulse of the pregnant palace maid. told Zhao Zier that if she told the queen the news, Zhao Meiren could get the queen's favor and win the queen's love for her. Zhao Meiren smiled disdainfully and said that a woman is pregnant, how strange is it? can win the queen's love with this matter. The mysterious woman only clicked 'This is the emperor', which immediately aroused Zhao Meiren's curiosity and was dumbfounded. At first, I didn't believe it, so I insisted on sending someone to sneak into Beiyuan to take a closer look, and the consequences of coming back and forth were as the mysterious woman said. Zhao Meiren was shocked, but she was reluctant to mix these things, and she turned calm down without any major moves. The mysterious woman persuaded her that if Empress Lu became the queen mother a hundred years later, she resented that the concubines around the emperor would be cut off one by one if the emperor was lucky, and it was better to show favor to the queen now to protect her whole body in the future. Zhao Meiren thought carefully, Fang Jue was quite reasonable, and then asked why the mysterious woman didn't go to the queen to show favor to the queen by herself? The mysterious woman smiled and said that she already had a countermeasure to protect herself, but she played well with Zhao Ji on weekdays, and she didn't want Zhao Ji to die at the hands of the queen after a hundred years, so she didn't hesitate to give it to Zhao Ji when she happened to meet this opportunity. Zhao Ji was quite moved, but still had doubts, and laughed that the secret dispute between Mrs. Qi and the queen was not clear, and it was not certain who would be the queen mother in the future. The mysterious woman laughed at Zhao Zi'er for being too simple, and pointed out that the queen relied on many ministers and relatives, and Mrs. Qi only relied on the emperor, and the emperor was not decisive enough to oppose the prince and had a guilty heart for the queen, and concluded that the prince would still be the prince in the future, and the lord of the world in the future should be Liu Ying. Hearing this, Zhao Zier woke up like an empowerment, so she believed her words and told the queen according to the instructions of the mysterious woman, the mysterious woman specially clarified that she just wanted to help her, and had no other intentions, just turn the words into her own words, and specially warned Zi'er not to leak herself to the queen, if the queen understands and thinks that Zhao Meiren is meritorious, then these credit mysterious women don't want it, just go to Zhao Meiren. Zhao Meiren felt apologetic, thinking that the mysterious woman was for her own good, and specially instructed herself to hide her name and surname from the queen and take all the credit to herself. So he told the queen what the man had told him to turn her words into his own. As for the pregnant female palace man in Beiyuan, Zhao Meiren had never seen it, and was eager to go to Empress Lu to ask for credit.

Empress Lu's heart was turbulent and calm on the surface. Dai Qing was well aware of this matter, and wanted to remind Lu Hou Zhao Zi'er that the pregnant woman in Zhao Zi'er's mouth was the woman they saw that day, so he stepped forward, "Niangniang......

Before he finished speaking, Empress Lu raised his hand to signal to stop. This matter needs someone to poke a bucket, Zhao Meiren's strength alone is not enough, Empress Lu wants to take this opportunity to eradicate the pregnant palace maid, she originally had this plan, but there were too many things encountered a few days ago, and there was no good excuse, so she had to postpone this matter. Since Zhao Meiren came to her to talk about it, it is better to plan it.

Lu Hou squinted at Zhao Zi'er and saw that her expression was slightly jealous, so she chuckled, and soon smiled, pretending to be angry, and threw the bamboo slip on the case with a "snap-" sound, and then slapped it heavily on several cases, and said angrily, "Arrogant woman, An dares to take the opportunity to fornicate in the harem!" The voice was much higher, so frightened that all the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the Changxin Palace bowed their heads and knelt, and Dai Qing waved his hand and told all the palace people to retreat. Lu Hou said that it was fornication, just to let people know that the Beiyuan woman was pregnant with a wild seed.

Zhao Meiren was also taken aback by this scolding, and looked at the queen in horror, not daring to say a word, nor daring to move, embarrassed in place, biting her lip and blinking her eyes. But he muttered in his heart, "Fornication? Imperial Physician Qin takes care of the fornicating palace people? ”

Lu Hou thought about it and felt that it couldn't be like this. Zhao Meiren just told herself about this, and she should also know that since Imperial Physician Qin went to Beiyuan, then she must have been instructed by the emperor. If you easily eradicate that palace maid, you are ignoring the emperor, so how can you solve this matter perfectly, not only eradicate the pregnant palace maid, but also shirk the responsibility? Inevitably, other 'people with a heart' have to be held by themselves to deal with this matter, and they have to pretend that they are unwilling. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Hourong crossed a strange and mysterious smile, and asked Zhao Meiren with eyes like knives, "For the woman who fornicated, what do you say this palace should do?" ”

Zhao Meiren was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly diverted the gaze of Empress Lu, and was silent for a long time, Zhao Zier didn't think that the queen would ask him how to deal with it, but just told the queen according to the words of the mysterious woman. For the woman who fornicates in the palace, how can the queen, who is the master of the harem, not know how to deal with it? I couldn't guess why the queen asked for a while, and I didn't want to cause trouble in the palace, so I was silent for a long time and lowered my head and nervously pulled the corner of my skirt.

Empress Lu looked at her face and smiled slightly, "Go ahead, talk to others about this." Zhao Zi'er had just turned around to leave after the farewell ceremony, but Empress Lu stopped her and specially instructed, "Don't say that Imperial Doctor Qin appeared in Beiyuan." ”

Zhao Meiren looked puzzled, not knowing why the queen told herself not to tell others that Imperial Physician Qin was in charge of this pregnant woman in Beiyuan, and after nodding, she frowned and left.

Soon after Zhao Zi'er left, Empress Lu also began to step up planning. She decided to ignore her brother's affairs for the time being, and deal with the things under her nose first, believing that there will be results in the near future.

Dai Qing stepped forward with a worried face and asked, "Niangniang, do you really want to get rid of the woman in Beiyuan?" ”

Empress Lu nodded, got up and walked towards the entrance of the hall, facing a green mountain in the distance outside the hall, turned her back to Dai Qing and said resolutely, "Sooner or later." Dai Qing followed Lu Hou to the door and said, "Imperial Doctor Qin's appearance in Beiyuan shows that it is the emperor's edict, if Niangniang kills her, the emperor will blame you." ”

Empress Lu turned around leisurely and smiled disdainfully, glanced at Dai Qingxian's voice and said, "Who told you that the woman in Beiyuan is an imperial descendant in her belly, and the emperor has issued an edict?" Did you knight her and give her a seal and a ribbon? Hongu doesn't know anything. ”

Dai Qing's eyes lit up and he immediately understood, Empress Lu wanted to pretend to be confused, as long as the emperor didn't say it and didn't issue an edict saying that it was another concubine, then the queen could treat the woman in Beiyuan as a slut who fornicated with others, and the child in her belly was regarded as a wild seed, isn't it logical? If no one tells the queen that this is the emperor's child, then the queen can be regarded as unaware, and can be treated as a general crime of fornication in the palace, and it will be too late for the emperor to blame.

Empress Lu asked Zhao Meiren not to say that Imperial Physician Qin appeared in Beiyuan, because she wanted other people to think that the women in Beiyuan were indeed fornicating, if Imperial Physician Qin was in Beiyuan, then they would not dare to say that it was fornication, in that case, they would all know that Imperial Physician Qin was ordered by the emperor to take care of the women in Beiyuan. Dai Qing thought all this clearly, and Empress Lu wanted to borrow a knife to kill people.

"...... Thinking very deeply. Dai Qing had to echo her, and she was really surprised by Empress Lu's city government. Empress Lu beckoned her over with a smile, "This palace is dizzy, and you can't see the disease unless you are the Imperial Doctor of Qin." Go quickly. ”

Dai Qing was immediately stunned again, and after a quiet thought, he guessed that Empress Lu wanted to drag Imperial Doctor Qin in Changxin Palace for a few days, and if he did not appear in Beiyuan, others would not see him if they secretly visited Beiyuan, and he would not know that the Beiyuan woman was arranged by the emperor, and the queen would deal with it. Dai Qing was ordered to go out. A eunuch came running from outside the palace to report that the emperor was about to return to the palace from Longxi.
