Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

The Empress Dowager took Hui Concubine and Second Princess back to Shouan Palace, but she never talked to Hui Concubine again, her face was also indifferent, Hui Concubine was worried, wondering if the Empress Dowager would protect her this time, she looked at the Empress Dowager There, she softly coaxed the second princess, but she didn't dare to speak.

After the imperial doctor looked at the wounds on the hands and arms of the second princess and applied the medicine, the second princess might have been tired from crying and fell asleep in the empress dowager's arms.

The queen mother looked at the second princess who had her eyes closed and teardrops were still hanging on her eyelashes, gently wiped away the tears that were about to fall for her with a handkerchief, put her on the bed gently, and ordered her personal maid Lingxiu He personally guarded the second princess, turned around and left the room.

Concubine Ming glanced distressedly at the second princess on the bed, sighed silently, and followed the queen mother out of the room without giving Concubine Hui a look.

Seeing Concubine Ming going out, Concubine Hui hurriedly chased after her.

The Empress Dowager was sitting in the outer room, and was asking Lai Fu, the chief eunuch of Shouan Palace, "How is Qu Cairen's condition?"

Lai Fu replied: "The imperial physician just went to see her, and heard that she used the medicine to induce labor, but after all, the time has not yet come, so the birth may not be so easy."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager gave Hui Concubine who happened to come out a sharp look, and asked Lai Fu: "Has the Empress passed?"

Lai Fu said: "Maybe the empress has just heard the news, and she has rushed over by now."

"Heh..." The Queen Mother laughed mockingly, and wanted to say something, but seeing Concubine Hui swallowed back the words, she said to Ling Yuan: "Take Concubine Hui down and have a good rest, don't worry about getting hurt fetus in the womb."

Concubine Hui squeezed out a smile, and said: "Empress Dowager, this concubine is not tired yet, and this concubine is also worried about the second princess, and I want to wait here for the second princess to wake up." When Zhong heard the assurance in her favor, she didn't want to go on like this.

The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on Concubine Hui, the expression on her face did not change at all, but it made Concubine Hui feel that she had been seen through by the Empress Dowager.

Just when Concubine Hui couldn't take it anymore and wanted to kneel in front of the Queen Mother to admit her mistake, the Queen Mother looked away again and said, "Concubine Hui, do you know that the most important thing right now is the fetus in your womb?"

Concubine Hui was stunned, as if she understood something from the Queen Mother's words, she bowed to the Queen Mother, "I thank the Queen Mother for your guidance, and I will go down to rest now."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Hui relaxed her mind and left the main hall of Shou'an Palace, and followed Ling Yuan to the side hall to rest.

She thought that since the queen mother said that the most important thing now was the fetus in her womb, it meant that for the sake of the fetus in her womb, the emperor would not do anything to her.

Concubine Ming looked at Concubine Hui's back and shook her head secretly, her niece was really not smart.

After Concubine Hui went out, Concubine Ming looked at the Empress Dowager with a guilty face, and said: "The Ming family has no way to teach their daughters. It is really ashamed of the empress and the emperor to teach such a daughter who doesn't know what is important."

Although the Empress Dowager was angry with Concubine Hui, she would not be angry with Concubine Ming and the Ming family. She shook her head and comforted Concubine Ming and said, "You are just too careful. Concubine Hui's personal behavior will involve the entire Ming Dynasty. Home? If the Ming family really has no way to teach daughters, how can they teach a loyal and kind person like you, old sister?"

"Aijia still remembers when the mother and son of the Ai family were rejected by the first emperor, sister, how you helped the mother and son of the Ai family, and pleaded for the mother and son of the Ai family in front of the emperor. Mother and son may have been tortured to death before the first emperor changed his mind."

Not only the empress dowager remembers this, but the emperor also remembers it.

It is because of remembering the secret help of the Ming concubine back then, after the death of the late emperor, the concubines who had no children in the palace were either sent to be buried with the late emperor, or sent to the royal temple for cleaning up.

Concubine Ming, who did not give birth to a son and a half for the former emperor, stayed in the palace in the name of staying with the empress dowager, enjoying the honor of the concubine, and the Ming family was still honored.

Concubine Hui's position as a concubine is not only due to the fact that she gave birth to the second princess because of her stomach, but also because of Concubine Ming.

If it wasn't for Ming Dowager's face, the emperor would not have such a high tolerance for Concubine Hui.

The emperor is a person who misses old love, if Concubine Hui can be honest and not be a monster in the palace, then she will not have a sad life in the palace with this kind of good relationship accumulated by Concubine Ming.

It's just that Concubine Hui is really...

The Empress Dowager shook her head again, and said to Concubine Ming: "Concubine Hui is indeed a little bit over this time, the Emperor is afraid that she is angry, and it's not just because of Qu Cairen's affairs, look at her treatment of Lan'er, if we didn't know Lan'er It came out of her stomach, and she is not Lan'er's mother and concubine."

What concubine Hui said was to punish Qu Cairen for the sake of the second princess, but if she really cared about the second princess, seeing the second princess was injured, she would not seek the imperial doctor to take care of the injury for the second princess, but put the second princess aside Run to punish Qu Cairen.

And the second princess was so frightened at that time, she didn't even notice.

Concubine Ming bowed her head in shame after hearing what the Empress Dowager said. She felt ashamed to have such an ignorant niece, and she was not as angry with Concubine Hui now as the Empress Dowager was less angry with Concubine Hui. Weak, she has taken care of the second princess day and night for two years, and in her heart the second princess is much more important than Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui doesn't take the second princess seriously, she doesn't care about the life of the second princess, she really wants to slap Concubine Hui a few times, to see if she can wake her up, and let her know how to be a qualified mother.

The reason why she didn't do this is because the Queen Mother is there, she can't go beyond the Queen Mother even if she wants to teach her niece a lesson, and secondly, Concubine Hui has been pregnant for more than seven months now, and she has to worry about getting into Concubine Hui's belly fetus.

Concubine Ming stated: "Concubine Hui has misbehaved and behaved badly. No matter how the emperor punishes her, she deserves it. If something happens to the fetus in Qu Cairen's womb, the emperor wants her to pay for her life. Neither I nor the Ming family will agree. There will be no complaints."

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "Why is it as serious as you said? Even for the sake of you and the Second Princess, the Emperor will not let Concubine Hui pay for her life. At most, she will be demoted."

Concubine Ming said: "She has done such a thing, it's too cheap to demote her only one position."

The Empress Dowager said: "After all, concubine Hui gave birth to the second princess for the emperor, and now she is still pregnant with the emperor's heir, which can be regarded as meritorious service. Don't be too harsh on her later, let her relax and give birth to the fetus in her belly come down."

Concubine Ming nodded and agreed, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I understand that nothing is as important as the emperor's heir."
