It happened that Biqiao came over on Dugu Liancheng's order to deliver the reward. When she saw everyone exiting the dining room, she felt trembling, thinking that there might be some article in it.
She glanced around and found that only Sizhu was not among them, and the other palace people had withdrawn.
Sizhu and Mu Ci must have said something shameful in the dining room, otherwise they would not have avoided everyone.
Thinking of this, she ordered everyone else to go about their business. After everyone else had gone away, she quietly approached the dining room and listened.
Sizhu's hesitant voice came from inside: "Your Majesty's little day has been postponed..."
Biqiao was stunned when she heard this.
No wonder the pair of masters and servants turned away everyone inside. It turned out to be because Mu Ci's little life was postponed. Does this mean that Mu Ci might be pregnant with the emperor's heir?
Thinking of this possibility, her heart beat faster.
Originally, she wanted to continue eavesdropping, but Yingchun happened to be walking this way. To avoid being discovered by Yingchun, she hurried away.
Yingchun saw someone sneaking around the door of the dining room from a distance, but unfortunately she couldn't see the person's face clearly.
She entered in confusion, and Mu Ci and Sizhu who were talking suddenly stopped, and the scene looked a bit abrupt.
"What are your Majesty and Sizhu talking about? Just now, my servant saw someone secretly eavesdropping. If you want to whisper in the future, your Majesty will have to make sure there is no one around." Yingchun muttered as she came in.
Sizhu frowned: "Can you see who it is?"
If her conversation with the Queen Mother was overheard, it would probably lead to trouble.
"I didn't see it clearly, but there must be something wrong. As soon as I came, the woman left." Yingchun slapped her forehead and suddenly felt that she was very stupid: "I should have chased after her just now to see which slave with no eyes was stealing.
listen."
"If you ask someone, will you know who is eavesdropping?" Mu Ci said quietly.
Those were the people who were waiting inside just now. If you gather them all together and ask them, you will know who is the most suspicious.
Because Mu Ci gave the order, when Sizhu asked someone to come over for questioning, he specially asked people to come in in batches.
Several people in the palace said the same thing, saying that Biqiao had come.
As soon as Mu Ci heard Biqiao's name, he probably knew what was going on.
I have always felt that I need to find an opportunity to deal with Biqiao. It is always a disaster to have such a person in front of me. Or maybe this time it is a good opportunity.
That afternoon, the news that Mu Ci was pregnant with the dragon heir suddenly left the harem.
When Mu Ci heard this rumor, he was not surprised at all.
On the contrary, Sizhu was worried.
The queen's little day has been postponed. She has never been so late before. She is usually on time, at least after entering the palace.
This time it was postponed for ten days. This was the reason why she was worried, so she went to Mu Ci to discuss the matter alone.
Mu Ci was very calm.
Sizhuruo didn't remind her, and she didn't notice that her little day was postponed.
She has some basic knowledge of medicine and has read a lot of medical books. She just took her own pulse, but she was a little unsure.
Originally, she wanted to ask Dr. Zhang to check her pulse, but when this rumor came out, it made her uncomfortable because it was so blatant.
At this time, the entire harem was alarmed by her, right?
Many people must have wanted to see her joke.
As for the one who leaked the news, there is no doubt that it was Biqiao. Biqiao couldn't wait to leak the news without confirming whether she was pregnant. How much did she want to see her frustrated?
In fact, people like Biqiao are not necessarily very scheming, so it is not difficult to deal with them.
The news that Mu Ci was pregnant with the dragon child quickly spread throughout the harem. Later, someone seemed to have blocked the news and killed several talkative palace officials because of it. No one dared to spread rumors anymore.
Of course, the person who can have this ability is none other than the current Saint.
Dugu Liancheng indeed received the news as soon as the rumors spread.
When Li Yu reported the news to him, his reaction was half a beat too slow. Later, he issued a verbal order that if anyone dared to spread rumors again, he would be killed without mercy.
As soon as he took action, the rumors stopped.
But he also took this matter to heart.
That night, he did not go to Yong'an Palace.
Biqiao was waiting in front of the emperor. When she saw Lord Long live looking at the memorial and there was no movement, she knew that Lord Long live was worried about Mu Ci's pregnancy.
She brought the tonic soup to Dugu Liancheng and said respectfully: "This is the tonic soup sent by Empress Shen Zhaoyi. Your Majesty, drink it while it's hot."
Dugu Liancheng took the tonic soup and took a sip. He quickly put it aside because he didn't like the taste of the medicinal materials.
Biqiao had known this would be the result.
Shen Zhaoyi wants to please the emperor, but she doesn't even know the emperor's preferences. What future can such a concubine have?
She didn't mind sending Shen Zhaoyi's soup to the emperor because she knew the emperor wouldn't like it.
"The Empress Dowager is pregnant, what is the Emperor planning to do? I have checked specifically and found that the Empress Dowager's baby is more than ten days late. Judging from the situation, it is possible that she is pregnant with a dragon heir." Biqiao said, quietly looking at Dugu Liancheng. expression.
Dugu Liancheng's eyes were fixed on the memorial. Ever since he received the news that Mu Ci was pregnant, he could not concentrate on reviewing the memorial.
So much so that there was a pile of memorials as high as a hill in front of my eyes.
Now that he suddenly heard Biqiao mention this matter again, his eyes darkened.
Biqiao took his expression into her eyes and smiled secretly in her heart. She knew that the emperor would not like this news. It would be fine if it were the concubine next to him, but that was Mu Ci, the current empress dowager.
If this kind of thing spreads, it will not only lose the face of the royal family, but also it will be difficult to silence the world.
What normal emperor would be willing to lose such face?
Although Mu Ci has a nice face, in the emperor's heart, the country must be more important than women, which is why she can't wait to spread the news.
Ever since she threw Muxue's sachet back to Xihua Palace, there has been no movement there.
She originally thought that Muxue would be eager to eliminate Mu Ci's opponent, but Muxue was no longer able to keep her composure now than before.
And her idea was that she didn't want to see Mu Ci in the harem more.
Now that Mu Ci is suddenly pregnant, shouldn't it stimulate the concubines in the palace to want to take action and get rid of Mu Ci?
If the emperor makes up his mind again and takes away the child in Mu Ci's belly, Mu Ci will see clearly that he is just a toy in the emperor's heart.
This will not only hurt Mu Ci's body, but also hurt Mu Ci's heart.
She couldn't wait to see the day when Mu Ci was injured.
"The empress is pregnant with a dragon heir. If she is the little prince, she must be smart and smart. It's a pity that the empress's status cannot be used to raise the emperor's heir." Bi Qiao said while peeping at the emperor's expression.
Dugu Liancheng didn't seem to hear her words, but he couldn't hide the sinister look in his eyes.
