After comforting Shen Guiren, Long Chuxia discussed with the emperor to move Shen Guiren to Xuantian Pavilion. The emperor hesitated, "Will it disturb mother?"
"Why are you saying these things? The most important thing now is to keep your child. You are not young this year anymore, and your knees are still weak. It is rare that Shen Gui is pregnant now, so you should take good care of the child." She is also a mother, and she knows how to lose her child.
What a pain it is to have a child, so she would rather keep a close eye on her than let anyone with bad intentions take advantage of it.
Shen Guiren naturally wanted it, because she knew that the emperor would pay his respects to Long Chuxia every day. If she could live in Xuantian Pavilion, in addition to being close to the Queen Mother, she could also see the emperor often. This would really kill two birds with one stone.
The emperor pondered for a moment and said: "Since mother is willing to take care of her personally, that would be the best thing."
Shen Guiren breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, and thank you, Your Majesty!"
The emperor said: "You can raise your child with peace of mind, and the people below will take care of the matter of moving the palace."
"Yes!" Shen Gui replied with joy on his face.
The emperor was busy with political affairs, so he said a few words of comfort and left again.
Not long after the emperor left, the queen came in a hurry. Her face was anxious, and there was a fine drop of sweat on her forehead and the bridge of her nose. She didn't have time to seal it. After greeting Long Chuxia, she immediately walked to Guiren Shen's bed and asked:
"How is it? Is the fetus okay?"
Shen Guiren tilted his head towards the bed and ignored the Queen. The Queen was stunned and asked: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Zhen said with a sarcastic tone: "Why do you have to pretend, Queen? The noble lady got pregnant after eating the glutinous rice balls sent from the palace. The imperial doctor also said that there were red flowers in the glutinous rice balls, which were used to conceive.
safflower!"
"Bold!" Xiaozhi beside the Queen said angrily, "Who are you? How dare you doubt the Queen like this? Why don't you look at how the Queen took care of your noble family in the past? If the Queen wants to harm your noble family, why wait until now?"
The queen's face was calm, she looked back at Long Chuxia and said, "I don't have you!"
Xiao Zhen was even more angry after being scolded by Xiao Zhi, so he took advantage of Long Chuxia's presence and retorted, "Then what's the explanation for these glutinous rice balls? This is the former queen who cared about noble people that you personally served to Xiao Zhen. Who knows how many people there are?"
How much of it is sincere and how much of it is fake?”
Long Chuxia's face darkened and she said, "That's enough, shut up."
"The Queen Mother..." Xiaozhen was not willing to give in. He wanted to continue talking, but when he came into contact with Long Chuxia's sharp eyes, he immediately fell silent.
The queen lowered her hands feebly and said with a wry smile: "Shen Guiren, I want to see the child born more than you. I have been married to the emperor for eighteen years. I have never given birth. It is because I am not blessed, but I live in the back position and there is no harem."
It is my fault after all, so I would rather die myself than exchange for the safe birth of the baby in your belly."
Xiao Zhen snorted: "Your Majesty, what you said is really beautiful!"
Xiaozhi was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Xiaozhen on the face. He said angrily with a livid face: "I want you to talk nonsense in front of the Queen Mother! Your master won't teach you, let me teach you well."
What are the palace rules, and what is your identity? You actually use this tone of voice to speak to the Queen over and over again?"
Xiao Zhen stroked his face and stared at Xiao Zhi hatefully, but he did not dare to speak anymore because of the sharpness of Xiao Zhi's words.
Shen Guiren propped up half of his body and said to the queen with red eyes: "Empress, I may have really suspected you wrong, but it is related to the child in my belly. I have to be cautious in the future. Please forgive me for not going to give it to you again."
The Empress, please give her regards until the child is born safely." Her words were still full of resentment and distrust. The people in the harem were sinister. She was helpless and really didn't know how to survive. She just wanted to hide under the wings of Long Chuxia to ensure peace.
The queen looked slightly disappointed and said calmly: "In that case, you can rest assured to raise the baby!"
Long Chuxia has been silent. She is a little surprised by Xiao Zhen's presumption. Even if the queen has never been favored, she is the middle palace after all. Even if she is a palace maid who is eager to protect the master, she does not dare to question the queen like this, but she keeps doing it again and again.
In trying to provoke the queen's anger, could it be that she is not afraid of death? Or is there something else going on?
She watched for a while and then said: "Queen, I am leaving too. You go with me. I have something to ask you!"
Long Chuxia's eyes lightly swept over Xiao Zhen's face, and found a trace of nervousness and a trace of expectation in her expression. Her heart suddenly became clear, and she said to Xiao Xun: "Xiao Xun, you stay here to take care of Mr. Shen, until Mr. Gui
Before moving to Xuantian Pavilion, no one is allowed to get close to her."
"Yes!" Xiaoxun has been with Long Chuxia for these years. Although he doesn't know magic, he still has self-defense skills. It is more than enough to deal with the maids and eunuchs in the palace. This time, Shen Guiren just had fetal movement, which proved that the person who did it didn't want to
She died, but to be on the safe side, it’s better to have someone protect her.
Long Chuxia also walked up to Xiao Zhen and said with a hint of appreciation: "It's a pleasure to serve your mistress, I cannot do without your benefits." After that, he patted her twice on the shoulder and looked at Xiao Xun again.
Understanding, chin slightly
Long Chuxia and the Queen walked to the door, and the eunuch shouted loudly: "The Queen Mother shows off!"
As soon as they stepped out of the threshold, they saw Concubine Ling and Concubine Li hurriedly arriving. When they saw Long Chuxia and the Queen, they quickly saluted: "I see the Queen Mother, see the Queen!"
Long Chuxia said calmly: "Your information is quite good!"
Concubine Ling raised her head and said: "I rushed here as soon as I received the news. In the past, I and Concubine Li were in charge of the affairs of the harem. Whenever something happened in the harem, I would always rush there immediately. I forgot for a moment that the Queen Mother is now in charge.
The harem, concubines, etc. are really troublesome."
Long Chuxia smiled slightly, "Although you don't have the right to co-operate now, you two are the eldest among the queens. It's right to take more care of the affairs of the harem. It's hard for you to be united. When I learned that something happened to Mr. Shen, I hurriedly
I came here to express my condolences, but I am also tired and want to go back to the palace to rest!"
Concubine Li was slightly blessed, and when Long Chuxia turned around, she suddenly asked: "I wonder if the Queen Mother can investigate and find out who poisoned the fetus in Shen Gui's belly?"
Long Chuxia turned around and smiled slightly: "How did Concubine Li know that Mr. Shen Gui was poisoned?"
Concubine Li was stunned, and for a moment she was speechless. She hesitated and said: "This is what the palace people spread, saying that they ate the glutinous rice balls sent by the empress, and that's why something happened."
"It seems that Concubine Li is very concerned about the affairs in Guiren Shen's palace!" Long Chuxia said thoughtfully.
She originally forced Long Chuxia to accuse the Queen, but now Long Chuxia made things difficult for her. She was speechless and naturally did not dare to change the subject.
In fact, she was not the one who administered the medicine. She knew about it so quickly because she had people in Shen Guiren's palace who always reported the news here. This time, she and Concubine Ling came here just to force Long.
Punishing the Queen in Early Summer
Once the queen is deposed, it means that the palace will be vacant and the emperor will definitely establish a queen. Who doesn't want to be the queen? Even if Concubine Li knows that she and Concubine Ling will be in a fight, no matter what, if she has the chance to fight for it, it is better than being killed by an incompetent person now.
