"Ah..." The surprised voices of the civil and military officials standing under the Temple of Heaven gradually began to sound, spreading like a tide, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the Queen above the Temple of Heaven.
Emperor Ning was saluting. When he heard the increasingly noisy sounds, he couldn't help but frowned. He turned around and saw that everyone was looking at him and the Queen. Some people started to point. Emperor Ning followed those people's pointing. Looking in the direction where I was looking, I saw the queen. But, the queen...
The Queen's face was a little pale. Although it was already winter, there were big beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. Everything else looked the same. However, the civil and military officials were so far away from them that they must not be able to see the Queen. They were sweating profusely, so what exactly were they looking at?
Emperor Ning wanted to continue holding the memorial ceremony, but he heard a white-bearded civil servant kneeling down under the Temple of Heaven. Emperor Ning recognized it from a distance. He should be an academician of Hanlin Academy. Emperor Ning heard his anxious voice. Come on, "It's God's punishment, God's punishment."
Emperor Ning was confused for a moment and could no longer care about the heaven-sacrifice ceremony. He walked behind the queen in two steps, only to see that the back of her black coat seemed to be wet with water stains, showing a different color. But it is a big word "fierce".
When Emperor Ning saw this, he took two steps back suddenly, and his face instantly turned pale.
The queen didn't know what was going on, but she just felt that the coat was too thick and made her feel uncomfortable. The coat had eight layers, one layer after another, which was very complicated. She walked around and knelt down like a sacrifice to the sky, which was very tiring. In the past, the queen always ordered the seven layers of the clothing bureau to be made of the lightest brocade, and the outermost layer was made of slightly more solemn fabric. Today, the concubine Shu didn't know what was going on, but she was using the thickest cloth. Every step she took , all found it very difficult, and with a phoenix crown weighing more than ten kilograms on the head, it was really a bit strenuous.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" The queen was a little puzzled when she saw Emperor Ning showing such dark colors. She turned around and found that when she was struggling with her clothes, the people below were all pointing at her for some reason. point.
The queen looked at Xiuxin who was standing by the steps below the Temple of Heaven, but she saw an anxious look on her face. Seeing that the queen finally looked over, she quickly pointed behind her. Only then did the queen understand that something must have happened behind her. Jian Ning The expressions of the emperor and everyone should be very serious. The queen could no longer care about anything else, and hurriedly took off the outermost layer of her coat, and saw the very abrupt word "fierce" on the back.
The queen was startled, and quickly threw away the robe, and took a few steps back. However, she accidentally touched the tablet behind her, and the tablet immediately fell over.
"Your Majesty..." The Queen's face was full of panic, but she tried hard to calm down her emotions. She hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of Emperor Ning's crown and said, "Your Majesty, someone must have framed me. Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me and my concubines..."
Emperor Ning frowned and signaled to Manager Zheng who was standing beside him. Manager Zheng quickly waved his hand and several eunuchs came up to help the queen down.
Seeing that everyone seemed to be still talking, Emperor Ning thought in his mind that if this matter was spread, the people would be in chaos, and these people must be silenced. Emperor Ning turned his head and said a few words to Manager Zheng, Manager Zheng hurriedly walked to the side of the Temple of Heaven and said, "It is forbidden to discuss today's matter. If any discovery is made, the nine tribes will be punished."
The civil and military officials and concubines below quickly shut up and stayed where they were. Manager Zheng hurriedly walked down the Temple of Heaven and said something to Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu nodded after hearing this. , the palace maid behind her left, but when it was time to have a cup of tea, the palace maid came over holding a tray. Concubine Shu took off a black dress from the tray, but it was made according to the appearance of a coat. Concubine Shu He quickly put on his coat and followed Mr. Zheng to the Temple of Heaven.
"The heaven-sacrifice ceremony continues." Manager Zheng's chorus rang out. On the Temple of Heaven, Emperor Ning and Concubine Shu walked one by one according to the rules, as if nothing had happened just now.
After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was over, Yun Shang followed the concubines to the harem. As soon as she reached the entrance of the Royal Garden, she saw the empress with a fierce look standing at the door. When she saw everyone coming over, her eyes were like knives. Staring at Concubine Shu, before anyone could react, the Queen rushed over and threw Concubine Shu to the ground.
"Shen Shuyun, I have never been sorry to you. In these years, even though you are deeply favored by the emperor, I have never treated you in any way. I have already given you the queen's seal. Why are you still so cruel? You are secretly making these plots to frame me!" Although the queen was extremely angry, her words were calm and calm.
The others took a few steps back for fear of being implicated. Seeing this, Yun Shang quickly shouted, "What are you doing here watching? Why don't you hurry up and separate the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu..."
But no one dared to step forward.
While everyone was standing there in silence, watching the two women with the highest status in the harem rolling and fighting on the ground, Yun Shang suddenly heard a cuckoo call from far away, and Yun Shang curled her lips. , but there was a look of worry on his face, "Why are you still standing there? The queen is still pregnant. If something happens to the dragon heir in the queen's belly, who of you can bear the responsibility!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone suddenly reacted and wanted to step forward, but they didn't know where to start.
At this moment, an angry voice came from behind, "What are you doing here?"
Everyone turned around and saw Emperor Ning coming over with a few attendants. The queen on the ground narrowed her eyes when she heard Emperor Ning's voice, and hugged Concubine Shu in a posture where Concubine Shu was on top and she was on the bottom. He suddenly fell to the ground.
Concubine Shu became angry and stretched out her hands to strangle the queen's neck.
Emperor Ning only saw Concubine Shu throwing the queen to the ground, and reaching out to strangle the queen's neck. Although Emperor Ning was extremely angry with the queen about what happened in the Temple of Heaven today, when he saw Concubine Shu's actions, he couldn't help but scold her angrily. He said, "Shu Fei, what are you doing?"
Before Concubine Shu could react, someone screamed, "Ah, blood..."
Blood? Everyone looked quickly and saw a trace of blood oozing out from under the Queen's body, staining the Queen's clothes red.
"Quick, quick, quick... call the imperial doctor..." Yun Shang shouted loudly, and Emperor Ning also reacted. Without caring about anything else, he quickly stepped forward to hug the queen, and hurriedly moved towards Qi Wu. The palace ran away.
Entering Qiwu Palace, Emperor Ning put the queen on the bed. The queen frowned slightly, as if in great pain, "Your Majesty, child, child, my concubine's child, Your Majesty, you have to save my concubine's child. ."
Emperor Ning said nothing, stood up, and paced back and forth in the palace, "Where is the imperial doctor? Why aren't you here yet?"
Manager Zheng hurriedly urged me back and forth, and after a long while, he brought in an old man with white hair and a white beard, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician, the imperial physician is here."
The queen raised her eyes, and her eyes suddenly widened. She hurriedly looked for Xiu Xin in the crowd, but she saw Xiu Xin in a corner, shaking her head at herself anxiously.
The queen said quickly, "No, no, Your Majesty, I don't want the imperial doctor to see me. My child is fine. I'm fine."
When Emperor Ning heard this, he turned around and said sternly, "Why are you so crazy? Why don't you let the imperial doctor take a look?"
The queen shook her head repeatedly, "I have been seen by Dr. Chen before. He knows my condition best. I want Dr. Chen to come and see me."
Emperor Ning's frown deepened. Seeing the Queen's abnormal behavior today, he became a little displeased. He turned around and said to the attendant behind him, "Hold the Queen down and let the imperial physician examine her."
The two attendants hurriedly stepped forward to hold the queen down. Seeing this, the imperial doctor stepped forward with some trepidation and put his hand on the queen's. After a while, there was a look of hesitation on his face. After a while, he finally
He turned around and fell to his knees suddenly, "Your Majesty, I am ignorant. Judging from the pulse, the Queen is not pregnant..."
The queen's face instantly turned pale, as if her soul had been taken out, and she fell on the bed. Emperor Ning didn't react for a moment, "What, you mean the child is gone?"
But the old doctor shook his head, "No, it's the Queen's pulse that shows that the Queen has never been pregnant from the beginning to the end. There is no way the child has been lost?"
Only then did Emperor Ning understand what the old doctor meant, "You mean, the queen is not pregnant at all?"
Before the imperial doctor responded, he heard the queen's cold voice, "Nonsense. Imperial Physician Chen clearly said that I am pregnant, and I have been suffering from acidosis recently, so it must be a son, but you said that I am not pregnant? I know this."
Yes, Concubine Shu must have given you some benefit to make you slander me like this. Someone, please drag this old man out and beat him to death with sticks."
"I'm still here. It's your turn to speak. Someone, go and invite all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital." Emperor Ning said coldly.
The queen looked pale. After hearing Emperor Ning's words, she added, "I will definitely invite Doctor Chen here. He is the one who told me that I am pregnant. Let him tell me who is here."
nonsense."
The attendant hurriedly left the inner hall. The queen closed her eyes and her mind went blank.
After a while, messy footsteps were heard outside, the door curtain was opened, and several imperial doctors walked in. The attendant walked up to Emperor Ning and said, "Your Majesty, all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital have been brought here. But, just
I really didn’t see the Dr. Chen that the Empress was talking about.”
"How is it possible?" The queen slowly understood. She seemed to have fallen into a trap set by others, but the person who set up the trap was too clever and had calculated everything about her.
"Check the queen's pulse one by one." Emperor Ning ignored the queen's words and ordered coldly.
Several imperial doctors looked at each other, and one by one they walked to the bedside and took the queen's pulse, then stood aside silently. After about a quarter of an hour, all the imperial doctors took the queen's pulse.
"How?" Emperor Ning asked.
Several imperial doctors looked at each other and then bowed one after another, "Your Majesty, my medical skills are not good, so I really can't tell that the Queen is pregnant or has had an abortion. The Queen, the Queen, is not pregnant."
When Emperor Ning heard this, he felt as if he had heard some fantasy. He laughed for a long time, but suddenly stopped and snorted coldly, "It seems that I have ignored this harem matter for a long time."
, This harem is really in chaos, even I, the most powerful person in the 95th century, was being fooled around like a monkey." After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at the dumbfounded queen, and left the inner hall with a puff of sleeves.
Yun Shang had been following Emperor Ning. At this time, he had almost finished watching the play. Then he stood up and followed Emperor Ning out of the main hall. As soon as he walked out of the main hall, he met someone who was walking towards this side.
Jinfei.
Emperor Ning paused and stood there waiting for Concubine Jin to come over. Perhaps he had received too much stimulation today and his expression was not very good. "Why are you here?"
Concubine Jin held her belly that had begun to swell slightly, looked into the palace with some concern, and then said softly, "I just came back from the Temple of Heaven, and I felt a little unwell, so I asked someone to prepare for it early.
I have come back first, and I just heard from the palace people that something happened to the Queen, and they said that they saw many imperial doctors coming here. I was a little worried, so I came over to have a look."
Emperor Ning was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to touch Concubine Jin's swollen belly. After a while, he said, "It's okay. You are now twins. Don't always go out in such short clothes. It's not good if you catch a cold."
Son, take your mother and concubine back to the palace."
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, then walked out quickly, took two steps forward to support Concubine Jin, and said respectfully, "Concubine, I will take you back to the palace."
Concubine Jin nodded, turned around hesitantly, and then looked back at Emperor Ning. After a long while, she followed Yun Shang back to the side hall. This was the first time that Yun Shang walked into Concubine Jin's side hall in Qiwu Palace.
In the palace, although the side hall is less prosperous than the main hall, it is still very exquisite. I think Emperor Ning also put a lot of effort into it.
Yun Shang helped Jin Fei sit down on the chair, then looked around and sat down opposite Jin Fei.
"Did you do what happened today?" Concubine Jin smiled slightly and said softly.
Yun Chang knew in her heart that since Concubine Jin dared to talk about it like this here, it meant that it was still safe here, so she relaxed and said with a smile, "Concubine is still smart, and Chang'er did the right thing."
"How is the queen?" Concubine Jin lowered her head, put her hands on her waist and smiled.
Yun Shang pursed her lips and said, "Of course her body is fine, but she may lose her father's trust forever."
Concubine Jin smiled slightly, "She has always liked to take risks, but it seems that God does not favor her every time, but this time, she fell into the hands of a little fox like you. However, you
But we have to deal with the situation behind, and don't let her find out. She is angry now, so she thinks it's Concubine Shu. When she calms down and thinks about it carefully, she will know that something is wrong."
Yun Shang curled up her lips and smiled like a cat that had stolen something. "Don't worry, concubine, my daughter has already made arrangements."
Concubine Jin nodded and said nothing.
Yun Shang stood up, walked towards Concubine Jin, knelt down in front of her, raised his hand and touched her belly, and said with a smile, "Concubine, do you think this is a sister or a brother?"
Concubine Jin laughed out loud when she heard this, "I don't know now, but I hope it's a boy. A boy can protect you. You've worked so hard."
Yun Shang shook his head, "Shang'er is not hard at all."
Yun Shang lowered her head, put her face against Concubine Jin's belly and listened for a while, but her eyes were slightly moist. In her previous life, she had never had these emotions, but now she suddenly felt that it was nice to have someone who cared about her.
.
After a while, Yun Shang stood up and said with a smile, "The queen's matter has come to an end reluctantly. My daughter knows that with the power of the Li family, her father will definitely not take down Li Yiran's position as queen, at least for now.
No. However, in a short period of time, the queen should not pose any threat to the mother. The daughter has also sent some people to protect the mother and concubine. The mother and concubine can rest assured. Hua Jing went to the border. This is a good opportunity.
I don't want to let it go. Maybe I will try my best to leave the palace and go to the border in a few days. My daughter will definitely come back before the mother-in-law gives birth, and the mother-in-law doesn't have to worry about Chang'er."
Concubine Jin was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and was silent for a long time, then nodded and said, "You have always been a decisive person, and now that I see how you act, I feel relieved. However, my daughter, Concubine, can't bear to let you be blinded by hatred."
Eyes, my mother-in-law hopes to have a man who can give you happiness."
Hearing this, Yun Chang paused for a moment before responding, "Okay, Chang'er will work hard."
The two talked for a while, and Yun Shang returned to Qingxin Palace. Qinyi and Qianyin did not follow Yun Shang to Qiwu Palace before, so they didn't know what happened, but the farce at the entrance of the Royal Garden was already empty.
As we all know, the two of them were naturally very curious about what happened next. When they saw Yun Shang coming back, they quickly surrounded her and said hurriedly, "Princess, princess, what happened next? Did the emperor find out that the queen was pretending to be pregnant?"
Something happened?"
Yun Shang told the two people about the matter, and they were relieved.
But Qian Yin was a little confused, "Princess, the people we sent managed to get in touch with Bao Yi. Why didn't the princess just put fatal poison on Bao Yi and kill the Poison Queen directly? Instead, she thought of such a twist.
What’s the way to go around?”
Yun Shang smiled, with a bit of contemplation between her brows. Yes, why? He could obviously take that woman's life directly, so he spared her life. The first reason was because he wanted to watch her fall from the clouds step by step.
Losing her most cherished thing and killing her with one blow is really too cheap for that woman. The other reason is that if the queen dies in such an unexplained way, the Li family will definitely be in trouble. By then, Ning Guo will probably
There was great chaos, and even half a year later, the Li family came into great use.
However, all this was because she had experienced it in her previous life, but it was impossible to explain it to Qinyi and Qianyin. Seeing that Yun Shang looked a little strange, Qinyi hurriedly smiled and said, "Let the queen die like this, isn't it?
Is she too cheap?"
Qianyin thought for a while and said with a smile, "Yes, it's too cheap for her. It's so happy today. I just don't know what happened to Concubine Shu. But I think about it, Concubine Shu and the Queen are so similar."
Noisy, this harem is really going to be in chaos." (To be continued)
