In the Bixiao Hall of Ruizhu Palace, Shi Jian hurriedly walked in and handed a piece of paper to Concubine Pei. Concubine Pei quickly took a look at it and frowned: "Rehmannia glutinosa, angelica, donkey-hide gelatin, atractylodes?"
Shi Jian said from the side: "My Lady, these look like ordinary tonics."
Concubine Pei glared at her and said: "What an ordinary tonic! This is obviously an anti-fetal medicine. When I was pregnant with Ping'er, I drank these medicines every day! Huh!" She balled up the prescription into a ball, held it in her hand, and said, Press hard on the table
After hearing this, Shi Jian said in surprise: "But this is the prescription prescribed by Imperial Physician Sun to the Queen! Could it be that the Queen is really pregnant?"
Concubine Pei said angrily: "I told you a long time ago that this bitch Shen Huan must be pregnant! She dare not announce it because she is afraid that I will harm her flesh and blood! Okay, okay, you are on guard, but you are too You have underestimated me too much! Use your concubine to fool me! Don’t be proud, I will not let go of any of your children!"
Seeing her going crazy, Shi Jian rushed forward to cover her mouth and begged: "My Lady, please keep your voice down!"
Concubine Pei pushed her away and said angrily: "What? I am in my own Ruizhu Palace, so I have to hide my words!" She looked around, the Bixiao Palace was empty, and she only saw gold, silver and jade. She He sneered fiercely from the bottom of his heart and whispered: "One day, this Ruizhu Palace will not be able to trap me!"
Shi Jian was so panicked that his hands and feet were cold. Fortunately, there was no one around at the moment. He secretly prayed that these words would not be heard by outsiders. Otherwise, it would be a crime of treason!
"Shijian, let's go to the Queen Mother."
Without any explanation, Concubine Pei strode ahead. Shi Jian sighed and followed behind.
When they arrived at Shou'an Palace, Concubine Pei met the Queen Mother. Seeing her serious expression, the Queen Mother asked, "What happened?"
Concubine Pei looked at the palace servants standing on both sides. The Queen Mother waved them to leave, leaving only her confidant Palace servant Aunt Yao.
Concubine Pei then said: "The Queen Mother, I'm afraid that this bitch Shen Huan is pregnant."
The Queen Mother was stunned at first, and then frowned. Concubine Pei was very satisfied with the Queen Mother's expression at this time. She knew that the Queen Mother had always hated Shen Wen, so she would definitely not let Shen Wen give birth to this child!
However, after a brief silence, the Queen Mother relaxed her brows and said: "In this case, it is also a blessing for me in the Northern Dynasty."
Concubine Pei was shocked: "Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother glanced at her and said: "There are few heirs in the palace. Now there is only a boy, the eldest son of the emperor. I finally heard that Qi Concubine is pregnant, but I don't know whether it is a boy or a girl. If it is a boy, it is naturally best. If it is a girl, Sigh... So, it is better for the Queen to keep this pregnancy."
Concubine Pei was furious. She suppressed the anger in her chest and said, "But Queen Mother, what if that foxy Shen Huan gives birth to a boy?"
The Queen Mother looked at her strangely and said, "It is a good thing to have heirs for the royal family!"
Concubine Pei was stunned and suddenly sneered: "Has the Queen Mother forgotten that the Emperor killed the prime minister's family? Isn't the Queen Mother afraid that after Shen Wan gives birth to a child, she will avenge the deaths of the Shen family?"
The Queen Mother yelled angrily: "How presumptuous! Concubine Pei, you are becoming more and more arrogant now! The prime minister committed a crime and was killed, but you also know the emperor's affection for the queen. If a prince is born, he will naturally educate him well. Could it be that A rebellious son who kills his father? Concubine Pei, you are so brave!"
Concubine Pei lowered her eyes. Although she was dissatisfied, she could only say: "I don't dare!"
The Queen Mother's anger did not subside, and her chest heaved violently. She lay on the couch and coughed twice. Aunt Yao patted her behind her and said to Concubine Pei: "Empress Pei, the Queen Mother is not feeling well, so I won't talk to you. Please come back."
!”
Concubine Pei reluctantly bowed and said, "I leave you, my concubine."
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Pei's back for a long time and then said: "I'm afraid Concubine Pei is... having a different heart."
Aunt Yao was startled and looked at the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother grabbed her hand and said, "General Pei's military power is getting stronger and stronger. I heard that that day, I wanted to ask the emperor to grant him a title, but the emperor refused. So General Pei issued a
It’s so majestic!”
Aunt Yao's lips trembled and she blurted out: "Your Majesty, General Pei has no children, only Concubine Pei, and Concubine Pei is the one who raised the eldest son of the Emperor!"
There was worry in the eyes of the Queen Mother, and she said: "You are right. It turns out that General Pei has no children, so the emperor can rest assured to give him military power, but... the eldest son of the emperor is getting older. Originally, everything is under the control of their father and daughter.
During the calculation, who would have thought that first Concubine Qi was pregnant, and now the Queen is pregnant as well." She sighed, and then said, "Concubine Qi may not be something to be afraid of, after all, her status is not high, but the Queen's child is different, then...
...But the legitimate son! The legitimate son is the most likely to be established as the crown prince!"
Aunt Yao said: "Fei Pei is in a hurry."
The Queen Mother sneered and said: "Yes! She is anxious. She is not afraid of others competing with her for favor. However, she cannot tolerate other people's sons competing with her sons for the crown prince position!"
Aunt Yao felt the Queen Mother's grip on her hand suddenly tighten. She looked at the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother said solemnly: "Go tell the emperor and ask him to take more precautions. The Pei family... will be in chaos sooner or later!"
On the morning of the next day, everyone went to pay their respects to the queen, so as not to congratulate Concubine Pei. Concubine Pei agreed lightly, as if she didn't take it seriously.
Shen Wen said with a smile: "The date is set in four days, which is a bit tight to say the least. But fortunately, we have prepared it early in the morning and are waiting for this day! Oh, Concubine Pei is promoted to the throne again, and King Yi is getting married again.
Are all your gifts ready?"
Concubine Shun Gui smiled and said: "Of course it's prepared."
After laughing for a while, everyone said goodbye. Cui Shanggong whispered: "Fei Pei doesn't seem to be too enthusiastic about Jin Feng."
Shen Huan smiled faintly and said, "She has something more passionate about!"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Guixi running over in a panic, saying, "Qi Concubine slipped and fell outside!"
Shen Wen was startled and hurriedly took the lead and walked out.
The place where Qi Bin slipped to was just on the path outside Chen Palace.
"It's fine, why did you slip? Have you sent the imperial doctor?" Shen Huan asked anxiously when she saw Qi Bin being helped up, her face pale.
Su'e replied from the side: "I went to invite you, but for some reason, I slipped and fell while walking smoothly. Fortunately, the slave held me tightly, otherwise..."
"Let's not talk too much. Let's help Concubine Qi to rest in the palace first. Pregnancy is important!"
"yes"
Su'e helped Qi concubine go in. Cui Shanggong looked at the road carefully, approached Shen Huan and said, "My dear, it's moss..."
Shen Wen raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "People walk on this road every day, and people clean it every day. How can there be moss on it!"
She narrowed her eyes, looked in the direction of Ruizhu Palace, and said coldly: "Kill the palace people who clean this road to death!"
"Empress, this..."
"Huh! You can't slip me, but you still have to frame me. Concubine Pei has a good idea!" Shen Wen clenched her fists and said fiercely, "I want to see whether it is you who laughs in the end, or the one who laughs in the end.
