It has been more than half a month. Ever since Su Shangqing was granted the title of Concubine Shu on the spot because of the child she was carrying, Liang Huanqing has been depressed in Qianning Palace.

If she cared about Qi Jingqin very much, then it would be okay to be so ill, but she had clearly let go of him in her heart, so why did she become like this?

Qi Jingqin saw that Liang Huanqing was seriously ill, but he never visited Qianning Palace. It was as if there was only one concubine in the palace. Everyone in the palace ran towards Ganquan Palace because they were all people who acted according to the circumstances. I saw that Concubine Shu from Ganquan Palace was pregnant, and she was also a popular concubine in the palace.

Although there are only the Queen and Concubine Shu in the palace, the palace people still have to work hard to please them.

Furthermore, Concubine Shu is pregnant with a child. This is the emperor's first child. If it is a prince, it must be a noble son, and he may be made a prince. Everyone knows that Concubine Shu will not have another child. She is pregnant because the emperor blocked the glass of poisonous wine at that spring banquet, so she became like this.

Most of the people in the palace are the ones who make the most of the situation. If they can't do this well, they may die in the palace.

Earlier, when the emperor and Concubine Shu did not return to the palace, they would always send the best things to Qianning Palace. They did not need to act according to the circumstances, they only needed to serve the queen well. The queen at that time was the foundation of the country. .

Under the rule of the Empress, many people in the palace have benefited a lot, but now they have finally returned to the palace life of the past. The Empress has no real power in her hands. Even if she is in charge of the affairs of the harem, it is all handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Empress The empress has been ill for more than half a month.

And during these more than half a month, the Emperor not only did not go to Qianning Palace to visit the Empress, but he went to have meals with Concubine Shu every day after court. The imperial doctor from the imperial hospital took turns to serve in Ganquan Palace, and instead visited the mother-in-law. Of all the empresses in the world, only some young and unqualified imperial doctors were willing to take a look. Yue Bai had repeatedly requested her, and it was also for the sake of the Liang family.

Many people in the court have been favored by the Empress and the Liang family, but now everyone is in danger. Aren't the Liang family and the Empress who used to be so powerful now also being ignored by the emperor?

No one knows what will happen next.

Perhaps the now-favored Concubine Shu will become like the Empress after the new couple enters the palace. But one thing that is better about her than the Empress is that even though she has no power in the family, her status as the emperor's savior will not last long. But she is better than having a child.

Whether this child is a prince or a princess, it is the emperor's first child. At least during the three years of observing filial piety, the emperor will only have such a child. Xiunu cannot enter the palace to choose a concubine for the emperor. If the concubine Shu works hard again, If you work hard, it would be great to have a second child.

Liang Huanqing was successful because she had tremendous power, but now she is defeated because she was unable to conceive a child.

Qianning Palace is like a cold palace without a listing. There are many people in the palace who have received favors from the Empress, but they can only feel sorry for the Empress and can't do anything else. Those who are in power are not all those who take advantage of the situation. Human?

He Yu and Chuo Qi also felt very sorry for the Queen, but after all, they were both on duty at the Qinzheng Hall. Chuo Qi became the imperial guard, and He Yu was still the general manager. Their every move was too eye-catching and could not be He went to see the Empress in person, but Yuebai would often meet with Chao Qi secretly to communicate with the Empress and General Liang Ji.

Hearing that the Empress was seriously ill, Liang Ji was also very worried. Hearing that the Empress was injured by an old injury and her vitality was damaged, Liang Ji searched all over the world to find medicinal pills and wanted to send them to the harem, but Liang Ji had no way to enter the harem, so she Maybe Chu Qi was found, but Chu Qi had no way to bring in the medicine he found, so Qi Wangshu went outside the palace again and again to bring the medicine pills to Liang Huanqing to use to extend his life.

If Shen Tuchen had not died at this time, the Empress would have recovered from her illness long ago.

It seems that it is late autumn now, and I think it will soon be winter. Qianning Palace is too cold. All the good things have been sent to Ganquan Palace. He Yu secretly sent some things to Qianning Palace to keep out the cold. The Ministry of Internal Affairs It is also difficult for the manager to see the empress in such a predicament. She is Yu Fei's phoenix, but she is sleeping like a mountain in the Dan Cave. It is so silent that it makes people feel distressed.

With the private care of these people, the life in Qianning Palace is not that difficult. Yuebai and Tang Xue can still endure the boundless loneliness. Yes, in the deep palace, if it is so easy It's really hard.

What made them sad was the Queen's illness. They thought that if Su Shangqing's cheap hoof hadn't suddenly appeared and made the Queen sick, she wouldn't be in this situation now.

Not only was the Queen of Qianning Palace in trouble, but after the Queen's side fell, the court situation began to slowly change - Liang Ji was removed from the post of Minister of War, and was replaced by Ji Ziqi, the top scholar in the imperial examination.

Qi Jingqin read his article. When it came to "the way to secure the country and the entire army," Ji Ziqi's answer was completely in line with the national conditions. Qi Jingqin felt that he could take on this important task. Although Ji Ziqi was just a civil servant, he did not know how to dispatch troops and generals. , but since the emperor believed that he had the ability to regulate, Ji Ziqi had no choice but to accept the order in the face of danger. Fortunately, Liang Ji did not have too much prejudice against Ji Ziqi. Ji Ziqi had many things that he did not know how to do, and Liang Ji was also willing to preach and practice.

The second place Lu Zhongting and Tanhua Tang Shangwen were also entrusted with important tasks. Qi Jingqin still used the cabinet system created by Liang Huanqing when handling government affairs. Si Nanping reported to the emperor the list of corrupt officials that he and the Queen had sent to find out before. Qi Jingqin also defeated and arrested those people one by one.

In the eyes of everyone, the emperor was the mastermind of this incident, but behind the scenes there was also the painstaking efforts of the empress.

But now the Empress is seriously ill in Qianning Palace, and the Emperor has not visited her even once, not even the most basic instructions to the Imperial Hospital to send an imperial physician to see her.

At this time, some people in the court understood that the emperor was going to kill the donkey. The queen's power had already frightened the emperor. No matter it was the queen or Liang Ji, he would not keep them.

The same is true for the Qin family. Qin Yuandao and the Liang family are closest to each other. When the empress was in power, she was also the leading courtier. Naturally, she was the one who shot the first bird. I don’t know what happened. The Qin family and the Liang family were in the emperor’s palace. When he was away, he helped the Queen to protect the Emperor's world, but now he is among the most miserable people.

After all, this is the most ruthless emperor's family. Qin Yuandao sighed: Qi Jingqin is much more ruthless than his father Qi Bingyu, and he is capable of killing a donkey.

Although Qin Ruilan said she ignored the government affairs, there was no way anyone could walk by the river without wet shoes. She was in a government official's family, so naturally she could hear about the current affairs of the government all the time. She couldn't help but start to worry about Liang Huanqing, the Liang family and the Qin family. Of course she couldn't control anything above the court. There were countless intrigues and intrigues that she couldn't think of and couldn't control. The only thing that worried her was that Liang Huanqing was seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed for half a month.

Mrs. Qin was also very worried about the Queen. She was a girl she had watched grow up. She thought that the Emperor would reward the Qin family and the Liang family in every possible way when he came back, but in the end they still underestimated the emperor. Now let alone the Qin family and the Liang family.

It was difficult to walk in the court, and even the Queen's life in the palace was really uncomfortable.

All that was attributed to the Concubine Shu. I heard that she came from an unknown village. Later, I don’t know what happened. All the people in the village disappeared. There was no fanfare or warning. The one who was looking for the cliff

Later, Linshui Village disappeared, and some people said that anyone who saw the emperor in such a state of desolation would die.

The reason why Su Shangqing is still alive is probably because the child in her belly is still useful to the emperor, so he kept her like this.

After the emperor came back, he became very suspicious. Even Si Nanping was often suspected of having ulterior motives.

However, it is true that Si Nanping's heart is no longer in the Qinzheng Palace, nor in the court. He is tired of this kind of life and wants to leave the palace. The reason why he stays is because he is worried about Liang Huanqing.

Mrs. Qin was worried about the Queen, but she was never allowed to visit her in the palace. Presumably it was because of the recent affairs of the Qin family in the court.

Qin Ruilan asked Princess Wangshu to bring them all to the palace and pay a secret visit to the Queen.

…

Mrs. Qin and Qin Ruilan pretended to dress up and followed Princess Wangshu into the palace. They came back in the evening to replace the two maids.

Qin Ruilan and Mrs. Qin followed Princess Wangshu. Seeing the guards coming and going, Mrs. Qin couldn't help but said: "There are so many guards in this palace? When I came last time, there were not so many."

The last time I came here, it was already the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. In fact, it was only half a month ago. Mrs. Qin came to the palace with Qin Yuandao, but she did not see the Queen.

"Aunt Qin doesn't know. Because of the last assassination incident, the palace is now heavily guarded. Although Qi Jingyang is dead and the thieves have been killed, this incident has left a shadow in the heart of the emperor. The Ganquan Palace

There are even more guards on the side." Qi Wangshu answered patiently.

Because of Liang Ji, she had called Mrs. Qin Aunt Qin early on, and she had determined from the bottom of her heart that she would be Liang Ji's wife. However, Qin Yuandao was too serious and still didn't dare to follow Liang Ji like this.

Ji calls him uncle like that.

"Is Ganquan Palace where Concubine Shu lives?" Qin Ruilan asked.

Qi Wangshu glanced back at Qin Ruilan, then sighed and said: "Yes, in the palace now, even I, the princess, is not as good as her. Something is clinging to that person in Ganquan Palace first, and then to me.

Well, Qian Ning Palace... not to mention."

Then, as if he was afraid that they would worry, he added: "But you don't need to worry too much. The Ministry of Internal Affairs does not dare to deduct the things and regulations that Qianning Palace should have. Yu Zhang does not dare to do this, but he is not as good as before."

In that case, everything good will be sent to Qianning Palace..."

At the end of the story, Qi Wangshu also began to fall silent. After all, she was still a little lonely. Who would have expected that the proud queen would now become such a pitiful figure, which is really sad.

After a moment of silence, Qin Ruilan asked: "Is it true that the emperor has never been to Qianning Palace once?"

Mrs. Qin gave Qin Ruilan a hand in private and told her not to ask about this kind of thing. There was no point in making her smelly if she didn't talk about it.

But for Qin Ruilan, this question is the most meaningful. She is Liang Huanqing's sister and they have grown up together. How can she not know what Liang Huanqing is thinking?

From Qin Ruilan's point of view, what was keeping Liang Huanqing bedridden just because of her severe physical illness? After suffering severe bone fractures and miscarriage, she was still able to stand up and help Qi Jingqin deal with Qi Jingyang, and later the flesh removal was She had never been in bed for such a long time before, so what she was thinking must be that Qi Jingqin still loved her.

But now it seems that Su Shangqing was pregnant and was named Concubine Shu in one fell swoop. The emperor's neglect and indifference were consuming Liang Huanqing's life bit by bit. This was the reason why she had been bedridden.

Qi Wangshu nodded, hesitated for a moment and said: "Ever since Su Shangqing was granted the title of Concubine Shu, the emperor has never been to Qianning Palace once. Ganquan Palace is full of people, but Qianning Palace is crowded. Su Shangqing has been specially trained. If Fang Zhi is favored, isn't it because she is pregnant with a child?! It's really annoying to have a country girl become so arrogant."

Now the only thing they can talk about is Su Shangqing's background and life experience. The tofu shop girl who was not even as good as a little maid in the palace unexpectedly became the beloved concubine of the Celestial Dynasty. It is really enviable and enviable. Hateful.

Qin Ruilan felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, and couldn't help complaining: "The Queen has paid so much for the Emperor, but she can't even compare to a child. The child was lost because of him!"

Mrs. Qin quickly covered her mouth: "How many heads can you lose by saying this? It's hard for everyone now. It's better if you know it yourself. Where are all the sage books you usually read?"

Fortunately, the corridor where Qi Wangshu took them was not often visited by people, otherwise it would be bad if someone heard them.

…

Outside the Qianning Palace, Yuebai had received news early that today Mrs. Qin and Miss Qin would come to the palace to visit the Queen, so she stayed outside waiting, hoping to see familiar faces first. She He and Miss Qin were also watched by Mrs. Qin and grew up together. They suffered all kinds of grievances in the palace and always wanted to see some familiar people to comfort their souls.

When they appeared, Yuebai trotted up to them: "Mrs. Qin, Miss Qin!"

"Yuebai!" They all cried when they saw it.

After a while, Yuebai found that there was a princess beside him, so he hurriedly saluted: "Greetings to your highness, your highness, your highness..."

Qi Wangshu was very happy to see them like this. He could finally do something for them.
Chapter completed!
