Chapter 148: Undercurrent
As her father said, this child came at the right time, but what her father didn't know was how difficult it was for this child to come. Since that night when she came out of the Zichen Palace and heard the conversation between the emperor and the imperial physician, she knew
When Empress Yang found out that she could not sit down after her pregnancy, she suddenly felt sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead.
Empress Yang was the married couple of Emperor Yuan Cheng. She had seen Emperor Yuan Cheng's love for her as husband and wife and the emperor's affection, and envied her in her heart. But until she heard the emperor's indifferent words in the Zichen Palace, she mentioned Empress Yang's belly.
The moment the child couldn't bear it any longer, she understood that both she and Empress Yang had forgotten that he was still an emperor because of Emperor Yuan Cheng's gentleness and consideration.
It was also at that moment that she began to wonder, if Emperor Yuan Cheng could not even show any mercy to Queen Yang's children, would he really show the so-called emperor's sincerity to her as he appeared on the surface?
She is not a woman who has just entered the palace and is ignorant of worldly affairs, nor is she as ignorant and self-righteous as Yue Zhaoyi.
She knew very well how ridiculous the thought of soothing herself was.
Therefore, she thoroughly checked all her food and clothing, until she finally laid her eyes on the precious and rare supplements given to her by Emperor Yuan Cheng, and then thoroughly investigated and dealt with the crux of the problem. It turned out that before she left the cabinet,
I already have a slight body cold, so when autumn and winter come, my hands and feet feel cold, and I often have abdominal pain every month.
But when Emperor Yuan Cheng sat on the throne of God and she was Zhaoyi, she had been nursed back to health much better. Until later, for some unknown reason, her condition relapsed, so that even latecomers like Zheng had given birth to the emperor in these years.
She married the prince and was promoted to a concubine, but there was no news about her.
At that time, no one knew her pain and despair. Even her father, mother, and her Li family once wanted to abandon her and send Shangguan's daughter to the palace again.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yuan Cheng politely refused her, and he cherished and loved her in every possible way. The imperial doctor who was authorized only to treat the emperor and empress personally nursed her back to health for a period of time, and gave her supplements day after day, year after year.
At that time, she really thought that Emperor Yuan Cheng always treated her differently.
It is precisely because of this that the family was unable to send another daughter to the palace.
Now that I think about it, Concubine Shu only finds it a bit funny.
Laughing at her own naivety and ignorance, the emperor favored her in every possible way and declined Shangguan's gift of another woman. He just needed her, a woman who could not give birth to children, to occupy this position and block Shangguan's mouth so that he no longer needed to be distracted.
Just to deal with and guard against another young Shangguan clan.
Therefore, there was no difference between her and Empress Yang at that time. They were both fools who were deceived by Emperor Yuan Cheng's gentleness.
In order to guard against the increasingly powerful Yang family, Emperor Yuan Cheng mixed the medicine used by Queen Yang with Jim Naima. In order to prevent her Shangguan family from becoming another powerful Yang family that was difficult to control, Emperor Yuan Cheng deliberately gave away the medicine to Queen Yang.
Her tonics are also mixed with this substance, so those tonics seem to be precious and good for treating colds. Once mixed with the cold-natured jimnaima, the properties of the medicine will change.
It was precisely because of this that she kept getting colder and colder with more supplements, and could not be cured after a long period of treatment. Even the imperial doctors could not find any clues.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of Emperor Yuan Cheng, she still took the supplements with a smile every day, but never really took them into her mouth. In order to completely eliminate the crux and get a child, she even used all methods to get her trusted imperial doctor to give them to her.
She made secret diagnosis and treatment, secretly bought folk remedies, acupuncture, and moxa moxa. She used all the medicines no matter how difficult to take, and she endured all the unimaginable pains.
She never thought that God would not let her down.
She finally got this child, the first child in her life.
In the dark night, Concubine Shu gently caressed her belly, her slightly raised eyes were unusually calm.
The former concubine who thought she was smart but was being used by others has long since died. From now on, she will no longer be a little concubine.
Because her ambitions don't stop there.
As she and Luan Zhi said, in Yeting right now, Empress Yang is still the delicate flower protected by Yang, living in the gentle dream that Emperor Yuan Cheng weaved for her. This is her luck, because it is destined that she
Born to be carefree, favored by thousands of people, and always living in the eyes of others, even if you marry a proud man like Emperor Yuan Cheng, you can still be loving and harmonious.
But these were like poison mixed with honey. The moment the honey disappeared, it also caused her misfortune.
No matter how graceful and beautiful the peony is, it cannot tolerate the slightest bit of wind, frost, rain or snow, let alone a gentle hibiscus.
As for the Yue Zhaoyi Ashina family, Concubine Shu mocked at her lips. She never looked down upon a fool who was in a barbaric land and did not understand the situation.
In this compartment, Mrs. Li was about to get into the carriage with the support of Yin Niang, when she heard the respectful voice of the maid behind her.
"Lieutenant."
Mrs. Li's eyes were slightly raised, and she turned around to see Yang Chongyuan, who was wearing a big cloak, standing there solemnly, and said with no visible emotion: "My wife and I have something to say, so you can follow me in the car."
Hearing Yang Chongyuan's words, Yin Niang glanced at Mrs. Li carefully, but she saw Mrs. Li nodded with an unchanged expression. With her help, Mrs. Li got on the car dignifiedly, and Yin Niang stepped back obediently. She had not seen him for a long time.
Yang Chongyuan, who was riding in the same car as Li, also walked up.
When the carriage moved forward steadily, there was only the faint sound of wheels rolling across the bluestone ground. In the spacious carriage, which was warm and smelled of agarwood fragrance, neither Yang Chongyuan nor Mr. Li spoke.
After a long time, Mrs. Li finally heard Yang Chongyuan sigh slowly: "I'm afraid I will be the last to know about Aman's marriage."
After hearing this, Mrs. Li's eyebrows brightened and her eyes were calm. She only rubbed the hand stove in her hand, and said calmly: "Aman is the child of Botang and Qinghe, and it is up to them to decide on the marriage.
As long as they approve as parents, I, as the aunt, will be happy for her, not to mention that the government is complicated and complicated, and you are already busy with it every day, and you have no time to mention these small matters of your children's marriage."
Although Li's words were plain and gentle, Yang Chongyuan couldn't tell that they were clearly telling him that Aman was Li's daughter, and Yang, as his surname, had no right to interfere.
In silence, Yang Chongyuan smiled, but it did not warm up the condensed atmosphere in the carriage.
"Aman grew up with Yu Niang, and she is also the child I watched grow up. Now she is about to get married, which is also a gratifying event. I know you treat her like a daughter, and you will do her best when the time comes.
, how can I, as an uncle, not express my feelings?"
After that, Mrs. Li felt Yang Chongyuan handing over a small booklet. At Yang Chongyuan's signal, Mrs. Li slowly took it and opened it, only to see that it was full of priceless treasures. What caught her attention the most was the last addition.
