Chapter 179
Zheng Ji suppressed the thoughts in his heart and wanted to hear Feng Ju's opinion.
"This palace only found out today that the concubine is pregnant. Even the concubine herself didn't know it. It was the Queen's doctor, Dr. An, who diagnosed her."
If these words were spoken, most people would not believe them.
What is the status of the imperial concubine? Every day, the imperial doctor goes to ask for Ping An’s pulse. How could she not know that she is pregnant?
In the end, it had to be diagnosed by Dr. An who was beside the empress.
But Du Fengju knew that there was no need for His Highness Chang Ding to lie about this matter.
Then things get weird.
Is this the reason why His Highness Changding feels tired?
Indeed, the birth of the imperial concubine will definitely bring different variables to the situation in the court.
In particular, His Highness and the Jiang family are still at the forefront of the storm.
It doesn't matter whether the imperial concubine finally gives birth to a prince, what matters is the pregnancy itself.
As long as the imperial concubine is pregnant, it will be logical for Lin Heyun to accuse the Jiang family of their involvement in the Jiangnan Road corruption case.
He considered it carefully and said: "Your Highness, will there be any problem with the fetus of the Imperial Concubine?"
Judging from past performance, Jiang Baoshan is a smart person and rarely gets involved in things like the struggle between the DPRK and China. If this is the case, then Jiang Guifei should not be pregnant.
At the very least, you shouldn't be pregnant at this time.
Of course Zheng Ji understood what Du Feng said.
She smiled and asked instead: "Isn't it possible that this is the mother-in-law's deliberate plan and that the Jiang family did it deliberately?"
"No." Du Fengju was sure, "I don't think so."
"Why?"
"Because the Jiang family is good at business, I think it is impossible for the Jiang family and the imperial concubine to miscalculate such a simple business."
Concubine Jiang's having a son will definitely bring more advantages than disadvantages to the current Jiang family and Concubine Jiang.
No matter what you say, Du Fengju is also the owner of Luji Bank. From a business point of view, this deal is not cost-effective.
Although it was cold and utilitarian to say this, he thought this might be the thinking of the Jiang family.
Zheng Ji smiled and said, "Perhaps it's because my father was at his peak a few years ago, and now is the best time for my mother and the Jiang family to have an heir?"
"It's not impossible, but the possibility is too small," Du Fengju said.
To be cautious, every possibility is possible, but if there are too many coincidences, it becomes unlikely.
In particular, he knew about the Jiangnan Road incident and Lin Heyun's testimony against the Jiang family, and felt that this was a well-done affair.
"Yes, who would believe that the mother-in-law and the Jiang family have no idea about the imperial heir?" Zheng Ji sighed.
That position is so tempting, who can resist?
After all, there are still too few people who are sober and see things clearly like Feng Ju.
"So, what is Your Highness going to do? I think someone will soon turn a deaf ear to the Emperor and tell him that the Jiang family is up to no good."
It is a happy event for an ordinary woman to be pregnant, but not necessarily for a woman who is favored in the palace.
Zheng Ji pressed his temples and said frankly: "I haven't decided what to do yet."
Aunt Huinan and Dr. Lin have already entered the palace, and the most important thing now is the body of the mother and concubine in the palace.
As for possible attacks on the pregnant mother-in-law...
It is foreseeable that this will definitely not be less.
She was also convinced that her father must have some thoughts in his heart, and his attitude towards his mother-in-law and the Jiang family would also fluctuate because of this.
The period when the mother-in-law is pregnant is too delicate, and the father's attitude is too important.
This is the root of the problem.
Zheng Ji knew that the best way to dispel his father's doubts and break out of the predicament was for his mother-in-law not to be pregnant.
But this must wait until Dr. Zhao comes back.
Du Fengju was not surprised when he heard what Zheng Ji said.
It was only today that Concubine Jiang became pregnant. It is normal that His Highness did not come up with a solution in such a short period of time.
but……
"Your Highness, I have an idea."
To give Zheng Ji some advice, this is the reason why Du Fengju stayed in Princess Changding Mansion and didn't leave so late.
Zheng Ji immediately asked: "What can we do?"
"The concubine's pregnancy was abnormal," Du Fengju said.
Seeing the sudden change in Zheng Ji's expression, he hurriedly added: "Your Highness, the reason why I made this suggestion is for a reason. Please listen to me carefully."
His Highness and the Concubine have a deep relationship. Even if His Highness is worried about the Concubine's pregnancy, he will definitely be very happy.
These words sounded like a curse. No wonder His Highness's expression changed.
Zheng Ji couldn't describe her mood at the moment. She kept looking at Du Fengju, and belatedly realized that the other party had misunderstood.
"It's not that I'm unhappy in my heart, but...why do you say that my mother's pregnancy is abnormal?"
She has not yet told Fengju that it is difficult to tell whether the mother-in-law is pregnant, but what Fengju is saying now is exactly the true situation of the mother-in-law.
Could it be that Fengju knew something?
"Your Highness, I can infer from the behavior of the Jiang family and the imperial concubine, plus I have learned some news... In fact, the emperor does not want the imperial concubine to be pregnant."
This is the news heard by Heng Lou.
The emperor sometimes asked the imperial physician to nurse the imperial concubine's health, and also sent some medicinal materials to Fuqing Palace from time to time. Everyone felt that this was a favor to the imperial concubine.
In fact, the methods used by the imperial doctor and these medicinal materials will hinder the heirs.
The imperial doctor's orders must be based on the emperor's orders. Who in the palace dares to say so?
Furthermore, many items from other places in the palace will also be sent to Fuqing Palace. Maybe one item has no impact, but over time, it will definitely have an impact on the body.
Du Fengju didn't know about Concubine Jiang's physical condition, but if this evidence could be used to prove that there was something wrong with Concubine Jiang's pregnancy, this method would be feasible.
"If Your Highness is worried about the evidence, it is not a problem."
Henglou has been operating in the palace for so many years, so it is not difficult to find some evidence.
Zheng Ji remained silent for a long time.
Although Feng Ju said it lightly, where could the evidence in the palace be obtained so easily?
The evidence that Feng Ju said would most likely require the use of the manpower deployed by Master Lu back then...
Feng Ju didn't realize that he had already exposed a lot in front of him?
This was the kindness that Feng Ju put into her hands, or perhaps it was the pity that Feng Ju himself didn't even know about.
Her cold heart suddenly became softer. She wanted to say a lot, but she didn't know how to say it.
Finally, she shook her head and said: "I accept your wishes. But the evidence is not needed for the time being. This palace has other ways to deal with it."
She hadn't yet figured out what the concubine's pregnancy was, so she didn't know how to explain it to Feng Ju in detail.
As for the secret medicine, the mother-in-law doesn’t want anyone except her to know about it.
Even if this person is Feng Ju.
She certainly believed in Fengju. The reason why Fengju had been waiting for her was to give her advice, right?
