Self-cultivation of the noble concubine who eats melons

176 Chapter 177: Tell the truth
The sun is getting higher and higher, and seeing that it is not long before the banquet, An Shutong walks among the crowd, calm and restrained, showing helplessness, although there is a smile on her face, but people can feel her smile It's kind of forced.

After turning around, An Shutong found an opportunity to go outside the hall, and Mu Qing followed immediately, "Girl, Mother Yao just came back."

An Shutong tilted his head slightly, "How?"

"Look at Nanny Yao's complexion is not very good." Mu Qing's complexion is not very good, if Yao Nanny is very happy, it means that the queen mother's order has been fulfilled.

Now that it is like this, Mu Qing is not sure whether the emperor will come or not.

An Shutong raised her eyes to look at the sky, most of the sunlight was blocked by the eaves of the palace, but she still squinted her eyes halfway to look up at the sky.

It has long been expected that the chances of things failing will be greater. Although the emperor and the queen mother are mother and son, the relationship is not very close.

Although I and the emperor are cousins, but I have never met before and have never met, so there is no affection at all.

Although she is the Empress Dowager's niece, it is still too ostentatious to hold a birthday banquet in the palace.

Even though she was very unwilling, but the queen mother made up her mind, she could only obey.

But... She can't let others calculate herself for other things.

"You have to remember what I asked you to do, and act according to my whim." An Shutong's voice was extremely soft and slow, and the arc of his eyes was like a sword about to be unsheathed.

"Girl, don't worry."

"The empress dowager is here!"

An Shutong was startled, and immediately turned to face the queen mother.

Before the Queen Mother entered the hall, he held her arm and sent the person into the hall with a smile on his face.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, I wish you a happy life and a healthy life."

All the concubines stood up and saluted.

At this time, Song Yunzhao was still leaning on the soft pillow and reading a book, with a calm expression and a leisurely posture.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside, and soon Shi Zhu's figure appeared in front of her.

"Master, the emperor has gone to Shouci Palace."

Song Yunzhao was not surprised at all, just like in the book, he put the book in his hand on the small table beside the bed, looked at Shi Zhu and said, "Just follow the plan."

"Yes." Shi Zhu immediately nodded in response.

The gate of Wangyou Palace opened quietly, Anshun hurried towards the imperial hospital, and soon invited an imperial physician, after the imperial physician entered Wangyou Palace, the gate of Wangyou Palace closed again.

Zhang Maoquan has recently been busy with the spring greetings of the court lady next to Concubine Han, and Yan Gong is taking people to collect evidence today, so he just returned to Wangyou Palace with nothing to do here.

As soon as he came back, he found that the gate of Wangyou Palace was closed, he was stunned, and immediately stepped forward to knock on the door.

After knocking several times, a voice came from inside asking, "Who?"

"It's me." Zhang Maoquan raised his voice and replied.

There was a pause inside, and soon the palace gate opened, and the servant guarding the gate smiled, "It turned out to be Director Yang. This servant thought you were in Gong Zhengsi. If I knew it was you, I would have opened the door early and waited."

Zhang Maoquan looked at him and asked, "How did you close the door?"

The servant seemed hesitant to speak, his face full of embarrassment.

Zhang Maoquan raised his leg and kicked him on the stomach, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"It's Zhaoyi's meaning. The servant girl is just following orders, so I dare not ask why." The servant looked puzzled, "However, Manager An invited the imperial physician to take Zhaoyi's pulse."

Zhang Maoquan was taken aback, "Isn't today the day to ask for a pulse?"

"Boss Zhang is amazing, you remember this, but it's not until the day after tomorrow."

Zhang Maoquan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately lifted his feet and walked inside regardless of the gatekeeper.

Wangyou Palace was very quiet, such quietness made Zhang Maoquan feel more and more uneasy.

As soon as he walked under the eaves of the corridor, he saw Anshun was sending the imperial doctor out, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Zhang Maoquan only nodded to Anshun, but looked at the imperial physician, "Do we remember that today is not the day to ask for Zhaoyi's pulse? Imperial physician Zhang."

Physician Zhang did not dare to offend the steward in front of the emperor, looked at Zhang Maoquan and said, "Boss Zhang has a good memory, this minister was invited by Steward An, and Song Zhaoyi is a little uncomfortable."

"Is Song Zhaoyi okay?" Zhang Maoquan immediately asked nervously.

Imperial Physician Zhang frowned slightly, "From the pulse condition, it can be seen that Song Zhaoyi is a little depressed, emotionally uncomfortable, and stagnant."

Mr. Zhang felt a thump in his heart. The pulse condition did not sound fatal, but he was depressed, emotionally uncomfortable, and stagnant. This was clearly caused by a bad mood that could not be stretched.

Song Zhaoyi wasn't just in a bad mood, it was so serious that it could be diagnosed from the pulse. Zhang Maoquan immediately thought of the birthday banquet in Shouci Palace today, and his heart skipped a beat.

Song Zhaoyi is angry, right?
It is not impossible for the empress dowager to hold a birthday banquet for her niece, but she insists on inviting His Majesty to come over, and they are cousins. Now that Song Zhaoyi is pregnant and cannot attend bed, she can think of what the empress dowager means with the soles of her feet.

How could someone as smart as Song Zhaoyi fail to think of this?

Zhang Maoquan knew the root cause of Song Zhaoyi's illness when he thought about it this way. It was because he was worried about being robbed of his favor during pregnancy.

However, Song Zhaoyi couldn't stop it. After all, she was pregnant and couldn't go to bed. Wouldn't it be a joke for the emperor to watch over her?
This kind of thing, even a fool knows that it can't be done, and it can't be said.

So, what else can Song Zhaoyi do?I can only worry, worry, and feel uneasy by myself.

After all, the queen mother was conceived back then, and was calculated to take away her favor. Since then, she has been rejected by the late emperor, and she has never been able to turn around in her life. Even after giving birth to the emperor, the queen mother did not regain her favor.

However, the first emperor did not lack sons, but the emperor is different. Song Zhaoyi's belly is the emperor's first child, and the weight is still different.

Besides, Zhang Maoquan felt that the emperor's love for Song Zhaoyi was not as vulnerable as the late emperor's love for the empress dowager.

Thinking of this, Zhang Maoquan felt that the matter could not be left as it is, this is a good opportunity for him to make meritorious deeds.

After Zhang Maoquan sent the imperial physician away, he saw Aunt Yu and the others go in to serve Song Zhaoyi, he turned his eyes and walked out, met Anshun halfway, he hesitated and stopped him.

When Anshun heard Zhang Maoquan calling him, he immediately walked over quickly, "Boss Zhang, what are your orders?"

Zhang Maoquan looked at Anshun and asked, "How long has Zhaoyi been like this?"

Anshun's face was full of surprise, and his smile froze a bit, "Director Zhang, what are you talking about, isn't Zhaoyi the same as before?"

Zhang Maoquan snorted, "Hey, you are so courageous, you dare to lie to me, to be honest!"

Anshun grimaced, "It's not that I don't say anything, it's that Zhaoyi forbids it. How dare I disobey the order."
