After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 223 Thunder

Zhou Shouyi examined the patient's pulse for a long time and came to the same conclusion.

The queen was indeed pregnant, and had been pregnant for more than forty days. According to calculations, it was the time of the Wanshou Festival.

Zhou Shouyi's words extinguished Ye Qinghuai's last bit of hope.

She stood in a trance among the festive crowd in the room.

A year after his rebirth, Ye Qinghuai felt panic for the first time.

It seems that the throne she just picked up is no longer stable.

If the queen gave birth to a prince, according to the decree issued by Ye Qinghuai before, the child would be the crown prince of Dajing. At that time, Gu Shihai would definitely get rid of her, the troublesome emperor, at all costs.

What made her even more frightened was that in this palace where she thought it was safe and under her control, someone could actually make the Queen pregnant right under her nose.

Ye Qinghuai suddenly felt that the reason she was able to live well until now was not because she had worked hard in the past year to govern the country, reorganize the imperial guards and weaken the power of the Gu Party, but because the enemy did not really want to attack her.

But if the queen gave birth to a prince, then they would have a reason to take action.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Qinghuai finally came back to his senses.

The person who appeared in her refocused vision was Gu Feiyan.

The queen had sat up with the help of her servants and was leaning against the head of the bed, with a section of her snow-white neck revealed through her white middle garment.

She looked at Ye Qinghuai warmly and tenderly, waiting for the emperor's response.

But the emperor's dazed look was obviously not what she expected.

It was Yun Wei, the senior maidservant beside the queen, who reacted quickly. Seeing Ye Qinghuai come to his senses, she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is having a child for the first time, and he is so happy that he is stunned!"

Her voice immediately eased the somewhat awkward atmosphere in the room, and the palace servants began to laugh and whisper to each other again.

Gu Feiyan's earnest gaze was so scorching that Ye Qinghuai could hardly respond and dodged for a second.

Finally, she pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled, and said concisely: "Queen, have a good rest and take good care of your health."

Gu Feiyan lowered her head and responded.

After she became pregnant, she seemed to become gentler.

"Everyone in Kunning Palace has served the Queen and will be rewarded!" Ye Qinghuai instructed Li Baoquan.

  This lively drama finally had a happy ending.

After Ye Qinghuai returned to Jingshou Palace, he went straight into the bedroom and dismissed everyone, leaving only Zhou Shouyi and Aunt Fanghua to accompany him.

After there were no outsiders around, Ye Qinghuai took off her forced disguise. She slumped down beside the dragon couch, sighed deeply, and her shoulders were no longer as straight as before.

Under the luxurious and majestic dragon robe, the girl looked lonely and helpless, like a tired and scarred lone wolf.

"What's going on? How could the queen be pregnant?" Zhou Shouyi spoke first.

Hearing Zhou Shouyi's words, Aunt Fanghua, who was originally confused, had her pupils trembled, as if a thunderbolt flashed before her eyes, and she couldn't help but blurt out, "The queen is pregnant?"

Ye Qinghuai did not answer the two people's questions. She sighed again, calmed down, and then said to Aunt Fanghua, "Aunt, please make me a pot of hot tea." There was indescribable weariness in her voice.

Aunt Fanghua felt sorry for Ye Qinghuai and went to make tea immediately without caring about anything else.

"Grandpa Zhou, is the Queen really pregnant? Is it possible that it's a false pregnancy?" Ye Qinghuai asked again.

At that time in Kunning Palace, Ye Qinghuai asked Zhou Shouyi to come for a follow-up visit in order to confirm this.

Zhou Shouyi naturally understood what Ye Qinghuai meant, so he took Ye Qinghuai's pulse for the longest time in his life.

"Judging from the Queen's pulse, she is indeed pregnant. No matter who comes to diagnose her, the result is the same." Zhou Shouyi said. After he finished speaking, he paused and added, "As far as I know, there seems to be a way to make a person's pulse look like a pregnant pulse, but I have not seen it myself, so it is hard to say."

Ye Qinghuai nodded and said, "I will ask you to check the Queen's pulse from time to time. If there is anything unusual, report to me at any time."

After she finished speaking, she sighed again: "But I always feel that the queen might really be pregnant."

At this time, Aunt Fanghua came back with hot tea. She gave Ye Qinghua some good tea and asked hurriedly, "What's going on? How come the queen is pregnant?"

Ye Qinghuai was silent for a while, then said, "It should have been on the night of the Wanshou Festival. After I left, someone entered the Queen's bedroom."

Aunt Fanghua was horrified: "Who is so bold?"

"That day I was drugged and my voice became like a woman's. When I was leaving Kunning Palace, I was bumped into by a strange guard. He heard my voice, and I was afraid that something might happen, so I killed him right away. But when Shen Guiyi returned to Kunning Palace to deal with the body for me, he didn't see the body. Later I secretly checked, but there was no trace of this guard in the palace."

Ye Qinghuai frowned: "Now it seems that the Queen's pregnancy is closely related to him. I'm afraid they have been planning for a long time."

After saying this, she leaned back against the bedpost with her head tilted back and eyes closed, unable to hide the regret on her face.

She was careless.

After the Wanshou Festival, there were rumors in the palace that the queen had been favored. Ye Qinghuai felt at the time that although the discord between her and Gu Shihai was known to everyone, it was rare in history that the queen had not consummated her marriage after half a year in the palace. It was indeed a bit unfair to Gu Feiyan, so she just let the rumor go.

But who could have imagined that Gu Feiyan was actually pregnant.

It seems that regardless of whether Ye Qing had an aphrodisiac in her arms that night or whether she stayed overnight in Kunning Palace, as long as the emperor set foot into Kunning Palace, the queen was destined to be pregnant.

"The Empress in the palace had an affair with a guard. This is a serious crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of the family!" Aunt Fanghua was so angry that her face turned red, but she was afraid of being heard by others, so she lowered her voice.

"But how can I prove that the Queen's child is not mine? I can't tell the world that I am a woman." Ye Qinghuai did not have the anger of Aunt Fanghua. She explained to Aunt Fanghua very calmly.

Aunt Fanghua seemed to have just thought of this question. She seemed confused for a moment, but soon she said confidently: "Catch that guard and let him confront the queen face to face. There will definitely be mistakes."

Ye Qinghuai's expression deepened again: "Based on my understanding of Gu Shihai, once it was confirmed that the queen was pregnant, the guard who acted should have been removed. As for the queen..." Ye Qinghuai sighed and said, "I'm afraid she was also kept in the dark."

Gu Feiyan was born into a noble family, was straightforward by nature, and acted domineeringly. Not to mention whether her personality as a young lady could allow her to have an affair with a servant, even the shy look she showed when looking at Ye Qinghuai today, if it was all acting, it was truly a flawless act without a single flaw.

Ye Qinghuai was dazed for a moment and started to wonder if he had done something to make the Queen pregnant.

If someone said that the queen could have such acting skills, Ye Qinghuai would never believe it.
