Two days later, a piece of news came out of the palace, causing an uproar.
Concubine Wen is happy!
"What did you say?!" The Queen Mother suddenly sat up from the chair, her eyes were shocked: "Wen Nianruan is happy? When did it happen?"
Aunt Gui replied: "The doctor Feng who just came into the palace to diagnose and treat Concubine Wen must have a happy pulse."
Hearing that Concubine Wen was not feeling well today, the emperor sent for Divine Doctor Feng to come over. A checkup showed that her pulse was positive.
The Queen Mother looked dazed and confused, questioning: "Is the child the emperor's?"
Her first reaction was that the child was Xiao Yi's.
After all, they all know secretly that Wen Nianruan and Xiao Yi are very close, but they don't quite know how far the two have reached.
Aunt Gui pondered: "It's hard to say. I heard that the emperor went to Fuhua Palace several times some time ago and only came back late at night. There is no guarantee that the child is the emperor's."
The Queen Mother's face was gloomy, and she thought that Wen Nianruan had taken advantage of it because she had not noticed it for a moment.
During this period of time, her attention had been on Wen Ruchu's side. There was no movement on Wen Nianruan's side, and she slowly relaxed her vigilance.
When Ziyun was in Fuhua Palace before, she could help keep an eye on Wen Nianruan's every move. Since Ziyun's death, the Queen Mother's eyeliner in Fuhua Palace has been cut off. She has no intention of inserting eyeliners around Wen Nianruan anymore.
Big easy.
Unexpectedly, if we were not careful during this period, Wen Nianruan would become pregnant!
The Queen Mother's face was extremely gloomy. Once Wen Nianruan got pregnant, it would be bad for them.
At this time, the palace maid reported at the door: "The Queen Mother, Concubine Jia is here."
The Queen Mother's face softened a bit: "Let her come in."
"Royal Aunt."
Wen Ruchu was supported on both sides by maids, and she walked cautiously. She was now five or six months pregnant, and her belly was bulging.
"You kid, why are you running around? What if you hurt the baby in your belly?"
As soon as the Queen Mother saw Wen Ruchu's belly, the gloom on her face dissipated a lot.
Even if she knew that the child in Wen Ruchu's belly had nothing to do with the royal family, the Queen Mother was still treating her like a treasure. She still wanted to use this child to climb Yu Hanyao's big tree.
Wen Ruchu said with a smile: "The imperial doctor said that walking around more is good for the fetus. Auntie Huang, don't worry, I can take good care of the baby."
"Of course the Ai family knows that you can take good care of the fetus. Aren't you afraid that you are too tired?"
The Queen Mother smiled kindly, turned her eyes and turned serious again, and winked at Aunt Gui.
Aunt Gui immediately dismissed everyone in the palace, leaving only Wen Ruchu and the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother's eyebrows were solemn: "As before, have you heard about Wen Nianruan?"
"Of course I have heard about it. Now it has spread in the palace. No one knows that the fourth sister is pregnant."
Wen Ruchu curled her lips slightly, she came to the Queen Mother for this reason.
The Queen Mother's eyes were calm: "What do you think of this matter?" She sneered again: "From the Yiai family's perspective, we don't know whether the child is the emperor's son or not, and it's not necessarily Xiao Yi's."
Wen Ruchu shook his head: "It shouldn't be Xiao Yi's. Even if the fourth sister has an affair with Xiao Yi, she wouldn't dare to blatantly get pregnant with his child."
The Queen Mother frowned: "You mean, Wen Nianruan's child really belongs to the emperor?"
Wen Ruchu shook her head again, her eyes darkening slightly: "It's hard to say, because I even have some doubts that Wen Nianruan is not pregnant at all."
"Not pregnant?!" The Queen Mother's eyes trembled slightly, "How do you say that?"
"I suspect that this is a scheme by the Fourth Sister and the Emperor," Wen Ruchu's brows darkened, "Auntie the Emperor, you must know that it is time to establish a queen."
The Queen Mother suddenly realized how she had forgotten this matter.
If Wen Nianruan was really pregnant, the Queen Mother would know what the emperor's intention was without Wen Ruchu having to say anything.
He wants to make Wen Nianruan his queen!
The Queen Mother also knew very well that the relationship between her and the Emperor was already tense secretly, and they were about to break up openly, so the Emperor would definitely not make Wen Ruchu his queen.
And the best candidate among the concubines is Wen Nianruan.
But Wen Nianruan had no heirs and had no advantage over Wen Ruchu, so the emperor came up with this trick.
The Queen Mother's heart suddenly became clear.
But she was still worried: "What if Wen Nianruan is really pregnant?"
Wen Ruchu smiled calmly: "Let's find an opportunity to find out whether the fourth sister is really pregnant or falsely pregnant. If she is really pregnant, we will think of countermeasures next."
If she is really pregnant, no matter whether the child is the emperor's or Xiao Yi's, she cannot keep it.
You can't let Wen Nianruan "take advantage of him to gain power."
The Queen Mother sneered: "The Ai family used to think that the emperor would make Su Wanyan his queen, so that he could be on the safest side, but he didn't expect that it would be Wen Nianruan."
When Su Wanyan was mentioned, Wen Ruchu narrowed her eyes and said, "Concubine Shu has been away from the palace for three or four months to recuperate. Why hasn't she returned to the palace yet?"
No matter how severe the smallpox was, it should have been cured in three or four months, but she still hasn't come back.
The Queen Mother suddenly remembered that Su Wanyan had not returned to the palace for a long time, and she frowned and thought: "Could it be that she has other things?"
They had to be on guard against Su Wanyan. After all, her father still held the military power in Xiliang, and the Su family also swore allegiance to the emperor.
Wen Ruchu squinted her eyes and muttered: "As for Concubine Shu, it's best for Aunt Huang to have someone inquire about her."
She always felt that Su Wanyan would not just recuperate after leaving the palace.
The Queen Mother nodded, "The Ai family will find some time to ask someone to inquire about it." Looking back at Wen Ruchu, she remembered something: "By the way, has there been any news from your Majesty recently?"
Wen Ruchu sighed softly and shook his head.
Ever since Yu Hanyao was discovered by Xiao Yi last time, he had never appeared in the palace again, and she had no chance to tell him about her pregnancy.
Wen Ruchu didn't understand why Yu Hanyao was so afraid of Xiao Yi.
The Queen Mother said: "My lord has probably returned to his place during this time. I heard that his place is far away and mysterious, and it is not easy to come to the palace." She comforted Wen Ruchu: "But don't worry, since you have your lord
Your child will definitely treat you well. During this time, Aijia will try to find a way to contact him."
Wen Ruchu stroked her belly and felt the baby's movements, which made her feel much more at ease.
Yu Hanyao was so mysterious, coming and going without a trace, and she didn't know his identity. She was really worried, fearing that Yu Hanyao would leave her alone.
After all, she even has his child, and Yu Hanyao will have to give her an identity in the future.
Although she is now the emperor's concubine, it is only temporary, and the relationship between him and the emperor is also innocent. Wen Ruchu does not care about the identity of Concubine Jia, but she cares about the identity of "Mrs. Yu".
Fuhua Palace.
Feng Jinyan looked at Wen Nianruan with the corners of her lips curled up, and smiled playfully: "You are still thinking of using a fake pregnancy, why don't you just have a real pregnancy?"
Anyway, she and Yun Chenan have done everything they should do, so having a baby is not too much.
