The queen has so many tricks

Chapter 112 Pregnancy
Chang Ji left the Zhenghe Palace and was about to go back to the Zhai Palace when Yang Tuying chased after him and shouted: "Your Highness, please wait..."

She walked quickly to Chang'an, bowed and said: "Your Highness..."

She is now a concubine Shu, one of the four concubines, so she does not despise her old friend because of this.

Chang Ji also bowed back to her and said, "Concubine Shu, do you want to ask me about your Majesty's current condition?"

Yang Tuying said with tears in his eyes, "I didn't just ask about His Majesty's condition. I used to know His Highness. Since I married and came to Lidu, I haven't seen each other for many years. After His Highness came back from Shenshan Mansion, he only talked briefly about the funeral ceremony. I've seen it, but I haven't been able to speak. I finally saw His Highness today, and I want to talk to His Highness."

"After the Battle of Nanzhao, the personnel of Shenshan Mansion and Yangtu Mansion changed drastically. My cousin's family was mourned. My father and elder brother also died in battle. I was alone in the palace. Although His Majesty treated me well, he was ill for a long time. I'm sorry. No one can complain about the bitterness in my heart, and no one can understand if I complain, and I'm afraid only His Highness can understand."

She couldn't hold back her tears as she spoke, she had just cried because of Duan Zhi vomiting blood, her face was haggard, now she started crying again, she was so weak that she couldn't stand up for a while.

Chang Wei hurriedly supported her, and the palace servants who followed her hurriedly surrounded her and sent her back to the bedroom together.

The old lady in the palace wanted to invite the imperial physician to take a look. When Yang Tuying heard that she wanted to invite the imperial physician, she hurriedly sat up from the bed and said, "There is no need to send the imperial physician, I am just tired of taking care of your majesty for too long. Your Highness is here, please trouble your Highness to take a look for me. You all go down too, don't disturb His Highness to check my pulse."

The palace people all retreated, and only the two of them were left in the bedroom.

Seeing her pale complexion and weak body, Chang Ji didn't refuse.He put his hand on her wrist, probed it a little, looked at Yang Tuying immediately and said, "Are you pregnant?"

Yang Tuying nodded with tears in his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't say anything. Only your Majesty and I know about this matter in the palace. Your Highness is the third person who knows."

Chang Wei looked at her with a frown, and she sighed, "Your Highness, the current situation in Luoshui is like this. Yubin and Nanjing can attack Lidu at any time and take away His Majesty's throne. Your Majesty has no children so far. If you let them know that I am pregnant I am pregnant with His Majesty's child, once they usurp the throne, how can they let my child go? I can keep it a secret for a day, and it won't be too late to say it when the situation becomes clear."

Chang Ji had already guessed what she was thinking, his eyes turned cold, he looked at her and said: "Since you don't want others to know, why do you want me to know?"

Yang Tuying said: "To tell you the truth, I was the one who moved His Majesty to summon His Majesty today. I was also the one who persuaded His Majesty to do so about the military power of the Shenshan Mansion. Your Majesty's insightful eyes, how can you not see it, Your Majesty." There has already been a rift with the Cangyu family. Although His Majesty is weak, since he has ascended the throne as the emperor and is the rightful emperor of Luoshui, how can he allow the power to fall aside? What's more, Yubin and Nanjing are currently fighting for the throne. The Empress Dowager and the Cangyu Clan have great intentions to abolish the emperor and re-establish a new monarch. How can your majesty tolerate it? I also understand this, and I can persuade your majesty to treat the Shenshan mansion well..."

"Be kind to Shen Shan Mansion?" Chang Ji sneered, "Compared to Cangyu Clan's conditions, Your Majesty has really treated Shen Shan Mansion kindly. I am really grateful!"

Yang Tuying said: "I know the anger in His Highness's heart, but what else can I do? Do you think I haven't begged His Majesty? I have cried and begged His Majesty many times, begging His Majesty to be the master and not to take away the property of Shen Shan Mansion." Military power. Guess what your Majesty told me? He said that if you don’t accept the military power of Shenshan Mansion, it is tantamount to surrendering the Luoshui Mountains and Rivers to others. And Nanjing...Your Highness, none of them can tolerate the Shenshan Mansion taking over the military power again!"

She leaned weakly on the bed with tears all over her face, and continued: "As it is now, letting the Yangtu family control half of the military power, and letting the Yangtu family maintain Chenshan Mansion, is already the limit of what I can do for Shenshan Mansion. I also I don’t want his father to be killed by his uncle as soon as my child is born, and I don’t even want him to be stillborn before he was born. If I want to keep my child, I must keep His Majesty’s current throne. Your Highness, you agree Hand over the military power, it will be beneficial to Shenshan Mansion, His Majesty, you, and me."

Chang Ji didn't make a sound, just turned around, with his back to Yang Tuying.

Seeing that Chang Wei seemed unmoved, Yang Tuying forced herself to get off the couch, knelt down in front of Chang Wei and said, "Your Highness... I beg you, please, just treat it as helping me, just treat it as your help." Save my child...please...please..."

She fell on the ground and kowtowed to Changsha.

Chang Ji immediately scolded: "Yangtuying, you are so confused! Do you think that the military power of Shenshan Mansion can be so easily distributed to the Yangtu Clan? Can His Majesty be the master? Can the Cangyu Clan tolerate him distributing the military power to the Yangtu Clan? Is it the Yangtu clan? The Yangtu clan is a small clan and has never been qualified to hold military power. According to what you said, not only the Cangyu clan will object, but the Niechuan clan will also not agree, Jin Ge clan, Kanmu clan Clan, even the Liang Clan, seeing that the small clans have taken over the military power, will riot one after another demanding to share the military power. In the midst of opposition and turmoil from this faction, can His Majesty still give the military power to the Yangtu Clan?"

Hearing this, Yang Tuying knelt on the ground stiffly, her face was pale, and a line of tears rolled silently from her red and swollen eye sockets.

Chang Ji said: "I was in Zhenghe Palace just now, how nice is it to listen to what His Majesty said? For the sake of Luoshui, Shenshan Mansion is required to return the military power. If it weren't for Nan Zhaojin who had already fought outside the capital city, Yu Bin would soon seize it. His throne, will he agree to your proposal? Promising military power to the Yangtu Clan can only coax you."

After all, she left indifferently.

Walking to the gate of the palace, she turned back and said: "If you really want to protect your child, you should immediately tell the Queen Mother and Cang Yubo about your pregnancy. With your majesty's current illness, it is difficult to live long. With This child, they probably don't want Yubin and Nanjing to sit on the throne. After all, letting an infant take the throne of Luoshui is far easier to control than Yubin and Nanjing."

Hearing this, Yang Tuying suddenly seemed to have a breath of life on her dead white face, she immediately got up from the ground, and hurriedly called the palace servants to pass on the imperial physician.

Chang Wei went back to the fasting palace alone, Hong Liaozi brought tea, she held the tea cup and lost her mind for a while, then asked Hong Liaozi, "Do you have any familiar imperial physicians in the palace?"

Hong Liaozi said: "I recognize it better. Your Highness asked the imperial physician if he was unwell? I will go to the imperial physician right now."

As he said that he was about to leave, Chang Ji said: "You wait first."

Hong Liaozi stopped immediately, and said with a long mouth: "It's not that I want to see the imperial physician, you go to the imperial hospital and find out which imperial physicians treat your majesty's illnesses, and which imperial physicians serve your majesty's decoctions. Don't ask too hastily, it will make people suspicious."

Hong Liaozi understood, nodded and said: "I understand."
