Work overtime

Susu thought she understood what the empress meant, which was that the queen was no longer here, so she tried to find a way to lure Yu He to Taorui Palace.

Jiang Yuebai seemed to see her misunderstanding and immediately reminded, "Yu He, don't use too much force or show special thoughts. Just go and care often. You must have a sense of proportion and don't act too hastily. "

The female secretary that the queen brought into the palace from home was most likely capable and loyal. She looked simple and unsophisticated but was often a mask in disguise. Many newcomers will be deceived by the young and naive faces around them. In fact, they are little foxes pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.

For such a person, being too eager will appear utilitarian and will make the other person wary and resistant.

You must start from the heart, like spring rain moistening things, and slowly make her feel close and admired.

Su Su immediately responded, sighing secretly in her heart, she was still a merchant-born empress who was smart in all aspects, her mind was full of strategies, and she was still able to show off her figure.

The concubines in the palace who came from aristocratic families were all too pretentious. Most of them didn't bother trying to win over people. They looked down on them as slaves from the bottom of their hearts. They didn't treat them as human beings. Cutting their fingers with a wooden board was just a word from the masters. thing.

They usually use coercion and inducement to force them to obey. Of course, there are also a few concubines who win over people through kindness.

No one truly respects people like their mistress.

However, the empress came from among the people and seemed to be unaware of the system of martyrdom in the palace. The empress's efforts to win over Yuhe may be in vain.

She hesitated and finally chose to tell the truth, and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, Yuhe will be martyred when the empress is buried in the imperial mausoleum."

"Human sacrifice?" Jiang Yuebai was surprised. Do parallel worlds also commit suicide?

But it was indeed the Ming Yingzong who was arrested by Wa Ci during the Tumuba Incident, who finally abolished the human sacrifice system.

As expected, the empress had no knowledge of this matter, and Su Su quickly introduced the situation, "I would like to inform you that human sacrifice is in accordance with the ancestral system. The empress dowagers, queens, and palace maids and eunuchs who serve them will be burned or buried alive."

At the end of the sentence, Susu's voice dropped, a little sad. A slave in the harem, with his head tied to his belt. There are various ways to die waiting for you at any time.

Jiang Yuebai sounded extremely uncomfortable. It would be too cruel to be buried alive or burned alive.

From the perspective of human resources, teenagers belong to the young and middle-aged labor force. They could have produced a lot of social value, but now they are being killed. This is an extreme devastation and waste of labor force.

She decided to wait for the Holy One to come back and find an opportunity to suggest to the Holy One that the system of human sacrifice should be abolished.

Jiang Yuebai went through all the concubines, and thought of Concubine Jing who was thrown into the cold palace, and asked, "How is Chen Xuanshi doing in the cold palace? Is there an imperial doctor who can go and check on her?"

The emperor fucked Concubine Jing to the end and demoted her to a commoner and was relegated to the cold palace. At the same time, her status was lowered to the lowest level as an attendant.

Su Su was not sure whether her master's intention was to take the opportunity to get rid of the dragon fetus in Chen Xuan's belly to avenge the previous slap, or to consider saving the dragon fetus for the emperor. She hesitated and replied, "I don't know."

Wait quietly for the Queen's instructions.

Jiang Yuebai thought for a while and said, "Say hello to the eunuch in charge of the Six Shang Bureau. Although Chen Xuanshi is the scapegoat, she is pregnant with the dragon heir. You must not neglect her expenses. In terms of food and clothing expenses We must take care of him as much as possible. In addition, you go and tell Eunuch Han to ask him to go to the regent, and the imperial hospital will appoint an imperial doctor to go to the cold palace every three days for consultation."

Su Su was a little hesitant, "Is there any risk in doing this? After all, Jing Chen's selection of servants involves treason."

Jiang Yuebai said unhurriedly, "Do as I tell you. Rebellion is a matter for the former dynasty, and it is the harem's responsibility to take good care of the concubine who is pregnant with a dragon fetus. Even if the fetus cannot be saved, it is her responsibility." It’s your own creation. Just do your part as an individual.”

Originally there was no need to explain to Su Su, but Jiang Yuebai admired Su Su very much and wanted to train her to become his right-hand man in the future, so he said a few more words.

After Su Su agreed again, Jiang Yuebai said, "Go to the Shang Palace Bureau to ask for three smart girls between five and eight years old. It is best to enter the palace soon. I have my own uses."

Su Su carefully wrote down the mistress's instructions and confirmed them again before leaving.

After Su Su left, Jiang Yuebai felt melancholy.

She thought of Jinxiu again, who had huddled together with her on this bed and whispered, looking forward to the two of them expecting to give birth and raising a child together.

After a person leaves, he can't help but feel emotional about the scene. Thinking of the past is like a dull knife cutting flesh, which hurts his heart.

She remembered that it had been a week since she had taken the pill for multiple births, and she didn't know whether the fertilized eggs had implanted in her bed or whether the pregnancy had been successful.

There is a certain probability that taking pills for multiple births will lower the IQ of the fetuses, resulting in a huge difference in IQ between fetuses. Later, he drank a lot of wine with the emperor. Although he was not drunk, the absolute amount was quite large. During both surgeries, she took a large amount of Mafei San. The main drug of Mafei San is Datura, which is poisonous and has hallucinogenic effects. She also took several elixirs produced by the system.

The instructions for these elixirs state that the formulas are confidential and the ingredients are unknown. According to ancient alchemy records, these elixirs generally contain large amounts of heavy metals, and may even contain highly toxic substances such as mercury and lead. These all have teratogenic effects.

From the perspective of eugenics and nurturing, this child is unacceptable. She didn't want to give birth to a fool.

Jiang Yuebai started the system interface. It’s been a long time since we had a human-machine conversation.

Just like playing with a newly purchased mobile phone and Chatgpt, it is only fresh for the first two days. No one bothered to talk to the robot anymore.

Jiang Yuebai: System, did I get pregnant successfully?

[System testing, please wait. 】

Ten seconds later.

[Five embryos have successfully implanted and are in good condition. 】

What? ? ?

Jiang Yuebai suddenly fainted. Five! Oh my god! How big will my belly be from now on?

She had seen pregnant women with twins before, and their bellies were already extremely large. There are five in this belly, are you sure it won't explode? Will it be difficult to give birth when the time comes?

[My little master, there is no need to feel sad. You should be glad that you are not pregnant with ten or twelve children. 】

Jiang Yuebai: I’m not a sow

Yes, this elixir can be used on livestock, such as cattle, sheep, and rabbits, to increase the meat supply.

It's just that there are no livestock in the palace, which is a problem.

Jiang Yuebai calmed down and asked the most concerning question: Can you know their gender?

【cannot. When in China, you must abide by Chinese laws. Fetal gender screening is prohibited. The gender of the baby is kept strictly confidential until the baby is born. 】

Jiang Yuebai: Okay then. The law requires eugenics and postnatal care. Is there a way to test the quality of these embryos in the future?

[Body deformities can be detected through scanning, but intelligence level cannot be judged. 】

Jiang Yuebai: What is the probability of giving birth to a child with intellectual problems?

[Uncertain, comprehensive measurement, this probability is about 15%. The embryos are currently developing well and can continue to be monitored. 】

15%? One in six chance of giving birth to a fool? That's quite high.

In her previous life, she heard from her pregnant best friend that when she went to the hospital, she met many women who took cold medicines, had chest X-rays, or had high-risk pregnancy tests without knowing they were pregnant. The doctors would recommend abortion to avoid the risks.

Jiang Yuebai thought that she might give birth to a mentally retarded child. Instead of bringing her child into this world to suffer and suffer pain and contempt all his life, it would be better not to let him be born.

She deeply regretted that she had taken the pill for multiple births in a hurry for quick success.

She didn't dare to bet on the impact of drug abuse on the fetus during this period. Although she knew that abortion was harmful to the body, it was better than harming the children for life. She wondered if she could drink safflower to abort the baby.

But safflower has the effect of promoting blood circulation. I have just had an operation to remove flesh and bones, and I am in the healing period. I don’t know if I can use this medicine.

If you want to have an abortion, you have to wait until the emperor comes back before making plans, so that you can still play the bitter card.

And if you really want to take the initiative to abort, you must not do it so quietly. You have to let the news of the pregnancy out, stimulate other concubines to be jealous of you, and then tempt them to use various means to attack you, so that you will "unfortunately" miscarry.

Just thinking that this decision was related to five innocent little lives, although Jiang Yuebai had not yet developed maternal love, he instinctively felt a little entangled.

I am going to ask two Imperial Physicians Jiang first what to do in this situation.

A good friend of mine originally planned to have an abortion because he took a lot of teratogenic drugs in the early stages of pregnancy, but he went to the hospital. However, when he was preparing for medical abortion, he found out that they were twins, so he changed his mind temporarily. It's a wonderful psychological state. If one bleeds, it bleeds. I was very reluctant to let go when I found out there were two of them.

I asked many obstetricians and gynecologists at major hospitals in Imperial City and Shanghai, but they all had different opinions. But she finally chose to give birth to two healthy and lovely little boys. Although everyone is happy with the outcome, it is actually a huge gamble. For the friends who were involved at the time, it was a huge torment no matter what they did.
