Chapter 120: The Tip of the Iceberg
Min Qingrou shook her head with a cold smile. "Are you begging yourself! Ask yourself, do you really want to have children for the prince? If you just want to make me unhappy, in order to find a balance, don't you feel that your sacrifice is too great?"
"With this child, I don't have to do things I don't want to do anymore!"
Shen Miaoling shouted. It's like complaining about something, and it's like venting something!
"You can't keep him. Min Qingrou said expressionlessly.
When Shen Miaoling heard this, she suddenly felt a pain in her heart and said: "My sister is so ruthless? I don't miss the sisterhood of the past at all, and I don't have any hope at all?"
"It's not that I don't miss my old love, but ......"
Min Qingrou suddenly lowered her gaze, and after a while, she finally raised her head and said, "Miaoling, this child in your belly may not live to be born......
"What did you say?" Shen Miaoling's blood all coagulated at this moment!
"Miaoling, don't you know? The prince's physique has always been weak and cold, which has a great impact on the conception of heirs. A while ago, I dragged the prince to eat therapy together, and the decoction I took on weekdays are all things with extremely yang fire, and the doctor has long said that you must not give birth to children during the diet therapy stage, otherwise the yin deficiency and yang fire will be entangled and will damage the fetus, and even if you are born, most of them are deformed or disabled! You don't know the cause and effect, take advantage of the void, I'm afraid you didn't expect this to be the result, right?"
Since the diet therapy, Min Qingrou and Situ Yue have been very careful, because the doctor told them earnestly, and the two did not dare to be careless. Although Situ Yue said that he wanted her to give birth to an heir for him, he couldn't ignore what the imperial doctor said, so Min Qingrou had been drinking Shunzi soup for a while, and Situ Yue also knew it.
It's just that I didn't expect such an accident to happen suddenly, and I was caught off guard and ignored this by each other.
It wasn't until Shen Miaoling was pregnant that Min Qingrou suddenly remembered the words of the imperial doctor.
Shen Miaoling listened, but suspiciously seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, which made Min Qingrou, who had originally sighed a little, rise a little suspicious again.
"Sister, I must stay with this child! My sister only asks you for one thing, please ask my sister to intercede for me, and let the prince restore my status as a concubine, because I don't want my child to be ridiculed because of my humble status in the future! Sister, my sister swears that from now on, I will never embarrass my sister again!
After that, Shen Miaoling actually squatted down and begged for a big gift.
"Miaoling, didn't you hear me? Even if you are born, this child of yours will be crippled, and it is impossible to bring you any benefits!"
Min Qingrou was surprised, why did Miaoling insist on keeping this child, and didn't even care if there was a problem with this child?
"Sister, Miaoling please! Please help me for the sake of Miaoling who used to be so sincere to you in the past!"
Min Qingrou looked at Shen Miaoling fixedly, and a large cloud of doubt rose in her heart.
Shen Miaoling begged her so hard in order to keep the child in her womb, what was the meaning of this child to her? She had no intention of Situ Yue at all, how could she beg her so humbly for his blood and bones?
No! There must be something wrong with this!
Min Qingrou got up and walked in front of Shen Miaoling, squatting lightly in front of her and making eye level with her.
"Miaoling, tell me honestly, whose child is the child in your belly?"
Min Qingrou's words were made in an air tone, very light, very light, but listening to Shen Miaoling's ears was like being struck by lightning!
Shen Miaoling's face turned pale in an instant, she looked up at Min Qingrou in disbelief, she couldn't believe that she would actually guess this step!
"You say...... What?"
"You are quite familiar with pharmacology, it is impossible not to know that the prince's current body is not suitable for giving birth to an heir! But at this juncture, you have done such a thing, why?"
Min Qingrou stared at Shen Miaoling tightly and continued: "You don't worry about the child in your belly at all, because you know that the child is not a problem at all! But with the prince's physique, this is simply impossible! So the only conclusion is that the child is not the prince's!
Shen Miaoling's gaze suddenly became dodgy, and in the face of Min Qingrou's step-by-step approach, her face was full of panic that she couldn't hide.
"No! The child belongs to the prince! He is a piece of meat in my belly, and I can't bear him! No matter whether he has a problem or not, I will give birth to him!"
Shen Miaoling explained in a panic.
"You really can't bear him, but it's not because she's a piece of meat in your belly, it's because of his biological father! You don't like the prince at all, and you don't even want to stay in the Qi Palace! You like this child's biological father, right?"
"No! No! I'm the prince's concubine! How could I betray the prince? Even if I didn't have the same affection for the prince as you did, I wouldn't do such a thing! Don't guess! There is nothing at all!"
Shen Miaoling suddenly looked up with a determined expression and said.
Min Qingrou looked at her, but her eyes were full of disbelief.
Since she woke up, Shen Miaoling has always been by her side, helping her fight and helping her step on stumbling blocks!
She could see that Miaoling had no affection for Situ Yue, but she didn't think about why she wanted to stay in the Qi Palace? She knew pharmacology, was good at drilling, and saw things thoroughly, even more shrewd than her, a person who had lived for two lives!
Even, she only found out today that she actually has a stunt!
Faintly, there seems to be a big secret quietly making her set off the tip of the iceberg! What is it? What is it?
"Miaoling...... Who the hell are you?" asked Min Qing softly.
"Sister! Don't guess anymore! Knowing too much is not good for you! Sister begs you, you should be as if you didn't see anything, you don't know anything! It was I who betrayed you, and in order to win a place in the Qi Palace, I deliberately designed to conceive the prince's child! I beg my sister to be tolerant and generous, let me give birth to this child, as for the prince, my sister will never compete with my sister for favor again! Sister, you believe me! Believe me!"
Shen Miaoling suddenly grabbed Min Qingrou desperately, interrupting all her conjectures and questions.
Min Qingrou looked at her and couldn't speak for a long time.
Why didn't Miao Ling let her ask? Who is she? Why did she come to the Qi Palace? What is her purpose?
"Sister, sister, please!" Shen Miaoling suddenly knelt on her knees and bowed heavily to Min Qingrou.
Min Qingrou's thoughts fluctuated, and she didn't know how to make a decision for a while.
Shen Miaoling's identity seems to be hiding a huge secret! What is it? Should she continue to investigate?
Situ is more likely to compete for the reserve, if Shen Miaoling's identity is not clarified, it is likely to be a big disaster in the future.
After thinking about it, Min Qingrou still decided to continue the investigation, but she couldn't track it down in front of Shen Miaoling. Judging from her anxious attitude just now, her background must be hiding a great secret. If it is forcibly exposed, no one knows what kind of disaster it will incur! This consequence may not be affordable to either her or Shen Miaoling!
Thinking of this, Min Qingrou stretched out her hand to help Shen Miaoling and said, "Okay, I promise you!"
"Sister, thank you, sister, thank you, sister!"
Shen Miaoling couldn't stop kowtowing, and was finally forcibly helped up by Min Qingrou.
"You go back! From today onwards, you can raise a baby in Linghuaju with peace of mind. Don't meddle in whatever happens in the Qi Palace! How did you live in hiding before, and how do you live now! In this way, the child in your womb can be born safely and securely!"
"Yes! Sister has been taught! Sister, sister is leaving, sister cherishes!"
Shen Miaoling blessed her body, turned around and walked out, took two steps and turned back and said: "Sister, listen to my sister's advice, don't continue to investigate! If you want to live in peace with King Qi, it's best not to know some things!"
With that, he sighed lightly and walked out worriedly.
Shen Miaoling took Qiu Yan out, and before she walked out of the gate of Poria Xuan, she saw Situ Yue rushing in in a big stride, she hurriedly let go of Qiu Yan and knelt down.
"The concubine body sees the prince!"
"Mrs. Daring Ling, dare to forcibly break into Poria Xuan, do you remember what your identity is?"
Situ Yue glared at Shen Miaoling and said coldly.
Shicai received a report from the palace guard, saying that Shen Miaoling angrily led people to break into Poria Xuan, and he was afraid that something would happen to Min Qingrou, so he hurried over.
For Shen Miaoling, Situ Yue has always known that she is not simple! When he first entered the mansion, he knew that there was someone behind her to support her, but because he was at a low ebb at that time, he had no idea, so he asked her to stay.
At this moment, Shen Miaoling actually disregarded the danger of revealing his identity to show his martial arts, he must have been forced to a point where he had to fight back! Such a Shen Miaoling was extremely dangerous to Min Qingrou, who had no idea!
"The concubine is in a hurry, so she has committed something wrong, please forgive the prince!"
Shen Miaoling did not argue, but only accused.
Situ Yue was slightly stunned, and just wanted to say something more, when Min Qingrou's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Since the prince is here, why don't you come in and talk? It's cold outside, my sister is still pregnant, let my sister go back and rest!"
Yuan Qiao opened the heavy door curtain, Min Qingrou walked out, walked to Situ Yue's side, and reached out to hold his arm.
"Rou'er, are you okay?" Situ Yue turned his head and looked Min Qingrou up and down a few times. But seeing that she was safe and sound, there seemed to be nothing unusual.
"But gossiping with my sister, what will happen? The prince is really making a fuss! Miaoling, go back quickly, be careful!" Min Qingrou looked up at Situ Yue and smiled faintly. Then he commanded Shen Miaoling, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Yes, lord, sister, the concubine has retired!"
Shen Miaoling bowed, got up and walked out with Qiu Yan's support, and didn't look at Situ Yue again from beginning to end.
When Min Qingrou saw Shen Miaoling walking away, she immediately withdrew her hand that was holding Situ Yue, turned around and walked towards the main house.
"Rou'er, did she do anything to you? You don't know, Shen Miaoling, she-"
"Lord Wang!"
Situ Yue chased after him, wanting to explain something, but was interrupted by Min Qingrou.
She stopped, paused, and said, "Come into the house and talk!"
After that, he didn't wait for Situ to enter the house by himself.
Situ Yue also hurriedly followed, while Wei Chenfeng and Yuan Qiao behind him stood at the door as usual, guarding carefully.
"Rou'er, did she really not do anything?"
After entering the door, Situ Yue asked again uneasily.
Min Qingrou looked at Situ Yue, and instead of answering, she asked, "The prince doesn't seem to be surprised by Miaoling's unique skills?"
Situ Yue nodded and said, "From the moment she entered the mansion, this king knew that she had an extraordinary background. It's just that I didn't care about everything in the house at the beginning, so I didn't investigate it in depth. ”
Min Qingrou listened to it and said with some disappointment: "I see!"
"What's wrong?" Situ Yue asked unconsciously when he saw that her expression was different.
"I thought the prince would know a little more, it seems that only I have checked this matter myself!" Min Qingrou sighed slightly.
"You want to check Miaoling's identity and background?" Situ Yue immediately thought of this.
"It must be investigated, Miaoling's back is very involved, if it is not done well, it will become a disaster for the prince to become a big thing in the future, if you don't find it out, will you have to be stared at in the dark all the time? This feeling like a thorn in the back is not comfortable!"
"How do you know that she has a strong background? Did she tell you something?" asked Situ Yue suspiciously.
Min Qingrou thought for a while and asked without answering: "Lord Wang, Rou'er wants to ask you for something!"
Situ Yue was stunned.
Since the two had an awkward quarrel, it was the first time Min Qingrou had spoken to him in this tone.
"What's the matter?" he asked slowly.
