Mingyu shook his head and said: "If it's just one or two things, I believe it's a coincidence, but it's a bit reluctant to say that it's a coincidence for so many things."
A trace of displeasure flashed in Hongli's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "So, the queen also thinks that a mage should be invited to the palace to exorcise evil spirits?"
Mingyu responded: "Yes, otherwise I will worry that the matter will become more and more serious if we delay it any longer."
Hongli waved his hand and said: "The queen is overly worried. With me here, why are evil spirits causing trouble? It's just the Jin concubines who are scaring themselves. There is no need to invite the mage into the palace."
Mingyu couldn't understand Hongli's stubbornness. She said, "What about my concubine? Could it be that the two times my paralysis of my limbs caused me to scare myself?"
Hongli was silent for a moment and said: "That's not what I meant. Didn't Dr. Zhou say that the fetus is getting bigger and bigger, causing some abnormalities in the queen's body? It has nothing to do with evil spirits. I don't believe there are any evil spirits in the palace."
Mingyu said with some excitement: "It's not unrelated. When I was pregnant with Yonglian, such a thing never happened. Moreover, when I asked the mothers who had given birth to children, they all said that such a situation had never happened before.
It’s not normal at all.”
"But the queen is fine, isn't she?" Hongli's words made Mingyu unable to understand, "Does it mean that the emperor must wait until something irreversible happens before the emperor is willing to take it seriously?" Seeing that Hongli didn't speak, she added: "
Even if there is really no evil intention, it would be nice to invite the mage into the palace to pray for blessings and make everyone in the palace feel at ease. I don't know why the emperor refuses."
Hongli was upset by her question and blurted out: "Because I don't believe Concubine Xian will..." Halfway through, Hongli realized something was wrong and quickly stopped what he said.
Mingyu asked doubtfully: "Concubine Xian? Is this matter related to Concubine Xian?"
"No, I just said it casually." After a pause, he said: "I still have a memorial to approve. Queen, please go back first. I will see you another day."
Mingyu was full of doubts and was not willing to leave just like that. He asked: "Your Majesty, what happened? Can't even my concubine tell me?"
"I said it's okay, Queen, don't think too much about it." After that, he said to Si Xi: "Send the Queen back."
"Hey!" Sixi walked up to Mingyu and said respectfully: "Queen, please!"
Mingyu ignored him and stared at Hongli and said: "No, it's not that I am overthinking, but that the emperor has something to hide from me. Is it related to Concubine Xian?"
Faced with her repeated questioning, Hongli lowered his face and said coldly: "Didn't the queen hear what I said? If there is anything, let's talk about it another day!"
Seeing that Hongli was angry, Mingyu had no choice but to leave. However, her doubts about this matter only increased. She was sure that it must be related to Nala Xianyue, but for some reason, Hongli just didn't want to say it.
After returning to Kunning Palace, she ordered Ji You to inquire about the matter, but unfortunately she found nothing. Until many days later, a sensational rumor appeared in the palace.
Rumor has it that Nala Xiayue is pregnant with a disaster star. Once born, there will be great disasters in the Qing Dynasty. The reason why things are happening frequently and evil spirits are disturbing people now is because of the disaster star in her belly.
This rumor spread to everyone in less than two days, and A Luo also heard it. She ordered everyone in Yanxi Palace to keep their mouths shut and not to spread this matter to Xianyue's ears. As for her, she also
Xianyue has always been advised not to leave Yanxi Palace.
On this day, Xianyue saw that the weather was good, so she asked Zhichun to accompany her for a walk outside. Zhichun remembered Aluo's instructions and said quickly: "Master, although there is the sun outside, it is still very cold. I just went out for a trip."
, my ears are going to freeze off, it’s better not to go out.”
Xianyue pinched her ears with a smile and said, "Didn't you say that the ears were frozen? What is this?"
Zhichun stuck out his tongue and said: "I'll give you an example, slave. If you really freeze, how can you serve your master?"
"You're still being talkative." After saying this, Xianyue said: "I just stood under the eaves for a while. I think it's okay. It shouldn't be too cold. Let's go."
Seeing that she still wanted to go out, Zhichun was very anxious. They could block the news about Yanxi Palace, but they could not block the news about the entire harem. Once they went out, they would definitely hear the news, even just a little bit. With the master's thoughts, he would definitely
Guessed.
Zhichun was extremely anxious and quickly winked at Qi Kuan who was standing aside. The latter thought for a while and said, "Master, the anti-fetal medicine is almost ready. You'd better wait until you take the medicine before going out."
Xianyue thought about it and said, "Okay, let's go outside later."
Hearing this, both Qi Kuan and Zhi Chun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After Xianyue entered, Zhi Chun pulled Qi Kuan's sleeves and whispered: "What will we do later? If we keep blocking him, I'm afraid the master will
It will make you suspicious."
"I know." Qi Kuan sighed and said, "You watch the master here, I will go to A Luo to discuss it."
Xianyue turned around and saw the two of them whispering to each other. She raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you two whispering about?"
Qi Kuan said hurriedly: "No, I'm going to see if the anti-fetal medicine is ready."
After he retreated, Zhichun walked over and said, "Master, you are tired, can I help you massage your legs?"
"I've been either sitting or lying down all day. How could I be tired? But you..." Xianyue stared at Zhichun and said in a cold voice: "Is there something you are hiding from me?"
Zhichun's heart was beating wildly, and he tried to act as if nothing had happened, "What can I hide from my master?"
Xianyue couldn't explain it, but she felt this way inexplicably. Not only Zhichun, but also Qi Kuan and even A Luo made her feel this way. But logically speaking, the three of them were loyal to her, especially A Luo.
It is impossible to hide it deliberately.
After a while of touching a stick of incense, Qi Kuan brought the freshly fried anti-fetal medicine. After Xianyue drank it, she said with a half-smile: "How about it, can I go out for a walk?"
Qi Kuan took the medicine bowl and said, "I'm going to warm my master's hand."
Zhichun was secretly anxious, but Xianyue had already become suspicious just now. If she stopped him again, she might not have to leave Yanxi Palace, and the matter would be hidden.
Zhichun anxiously supported Xianyue and walked out. When she was about to reach the palace gate, she accidentally saw Huang coming in. The latter asked in surprise: "Is the queen going out?"
"Yes, I feel a little depressed in the palace and want to go out for a walk. Is there anything wrong with Concubine Yi coming to see me?"
"Yes." Mrs. Huang pointed to a few pieces of material held by the palace servants and said with a smile: "I want to make some clothes for my little brother, but I don't know which color is good, so I asked my queen to help me choose.
"
Xianyue smiled and said: "It's too early now, the child is less than three months old."
Huang said disapprovingly: "It's not too early at all. Choose the ingredients first, and then slowly make them. Make a few more sets in spring, summer, autumn and winter. When they are done, won't the child be born just in time?"
