Stepmother Shaoguang

The saint loves King Qi, and he must be worthy of his ancestor's power.

King Qi has lost the support of the people and is by no means the best candidate to succeed him. However, King Zheng is well-known among the people.

The news from Xuanzheng Palace was deliberately blocked from the harem, and the queen panicked in the palace.

She had been fighting with Concubine Xiao Shu for half her life. After the Xiao family fell, she thought she would have nothing to worry about. Who would have thought that her son would not live up to expectations, but a big-tailed wolf who had been pretending to be a wolf for more than 20 years would show up halfway.

She thinks what King Qi said is good, and Concubine Shunde is also worthy?
There can only be one queen mother, and the throne can only belong to her son.

Her eyes gradually turned from panic to calm.

While the saint was ill, Ye Guiren was worried for many days, and he had to call the imperial doctor to ask for a safe pulse every day.

And no one else could believe it, and they could only rest assured that the Queen had arranged for Dr. He.

Her belly is already very big at six months, her limbs are thin and not swollen during pregnancy, and her feet cannot be seen from top to bottom.

Because she was too thin, she always felt tired and weak during pregnancy, so Dr. He told her to take more supplements.I prescribed nourishing pregnancy medicine.

After breakfast that day, Ye Guiren could not sit still in the palace and felt hot all over.

The palace maid said that the pregnant woman's body was hot and she might as well go for a walk.

So he changed into clothes to keep out the cold and led the people out.

There was nothing much to see in the Royal Garden in winter. She threw some fish food into the fish pond out of boredom, and saw Guiren Zheng coming over with Concubine Shunde from a distance.

Concubine Shunde also saw her, so she can't pretend she didn't see her.

She was pregnant with a dragon fetus, and her salute was a little perfunctory.

Zheng Guiren smiled half-heartedly and mocked her: "Ye Guiren's rules are getting better and better, and saluting is like dancing."

Ye Guiren relied on his favor and refused to give in. "How can I compare to Zheng Guiren? On the other side, he is looking after the Queen, and here he is trying to get close to the Shunde Concubine. Who is as exquisite as you?"

The two were quarreling, and Ye Guiren relied on the queen. Naturally, she knew that the queen was worried about King Qi these days and did not want to see King Zheng. She happened to be ridiculed by King Zheng, and she felt unhappy.

Concubine Shunde was squeezed by a nobleman in public, and she immediately sneered: "Nobleman Ye is so sharp-tongued, I hope you have a prince in your belly, but don't let the princess learn this philistine spirit."

The three broke up unhappy.

A few days later, Ye Guiren suddenly felt abdominal pain while taking a lunch break. At that moment, the palace maids were waiting outside. When they heard her cry of pain, they rushed to her. They found Ye Guiren holding her stomach and hurriedly called for the imperial doctor.

Ye Guiren's face turned pale in pain, large beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, blood gradually seeped out between his legs, and then he lost consciousness.

Before she fell into coma, the last thing she heard was her personal maid Liu Ying exclaiming: "So much blood! The noble man is blushing!"

After waking up, the queen sent Huining to stay by her bedside.

There was a circle of people around the bed, including the imperial doctor and Liu Ying, and the other maids in the palace all had red eyes.

"How is the child, Dr. He?"

"My lord, my condolences."

The six-month-old fetus was very small, only as big as a fist, and as light as a ball of cotton. Just like her hope for the rest of her life, it was blown away by the wind.

She burst into tears immediately. Liu Ying and Huining stayed with her and advised her to take care of herself. Their eyes were slightly red.

After a while, she had cried enough, and Huining asked with concern: "Your Majesty's fetus has always been cared for by Dr. He, and the fetal image is stable. Why did she have a miscarriage for no reason?" Dr. He also asked her: "Have you taken anything to promote blood circulation? ?”

Ye Guiren shook his head.

Doctor He looked troubled: "There is indeed something wrong with your nobleman's symptoms."

Upon hearing this, Liuying quickly asked someone to bring a few leftover meals from lunch and gave them to Dr. He to examine them one by one.

Then Doctor He pointed at one of the plates of roasted mutton and exclaimed: "There is musk in this thing!"

Suddenly, lightning flashed in Ye Guiren's mind. She recalled what happened in the past few days and became excited: "Concubine Shunde! It must be her! I met her and Zheng Guiren broke up on bad terms in the Imperial Garden a few days ago. It must be them. Hate me and take revenge on me!”

Huining looked serious: "Mr. Ye, you can't talk nonsense at this time! If this is really the case, I will report it to the Queen as soon as possible."

Ye Guiren nodded angrily: "At that time, all the maids around me in the imperial garden heard it and asked the Queen to make the decision for me!"

After hearing this, the queen immediately led people to Ganquan Palace to search the palace, catching Concubine Shunde off guard.

Concubine Shunde and the queen were confronting each other outside. Inside the palace, palace officials brought by the queen were searching for suspicious objects.

Concubine Shunde was very angry: "Empress, no matter what, I am the biological mother of King Zheng and the head of the first palace! You rashly searched the palace based on Ye Guiren's words, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

The Queen comforted Concubine Shunde calmly: "Don't worry, Concubine De. I naturally believe that my sister is innocent. Ye Guiren has always been peaceful, but she suddenly had a miscarriage, which makes her sad. I, too, want to give her to you." Let the saint explain it to you."

But this comfort was too hypocritical. Concubine Shunde didn't think that the queen at this time would have such a big heart.

She gradually came to understand that this was probably a planned frame-up aimed at the mother and son.

If she cannot fight back and is accused of murdering the emperor's heir, she will become a stain on her son, and those courtiers who support King Qi will use this to attack King Zheng.

It's ridiculous that her son has already given up his mind, but he is being plotted by the queen so deliberately.

Concubine Shunde suddenly had infinite courage. If she didn't fight against others and bullied them like this, the outcome would not be easy. Shouldn't she fight?

She watched the queen act with cold eyes.

Soon Huining, with an inexplicable look on her face, brought out a chicken-wing wooden box that she had never seen before, with something wrapped in layers of oil paper, and whispered something to the queen.

The queen immediately became furious: "Concubine De, what else do you have to say? I didn't expect you to be such a person. A saint is not easy to be disturbed when he is seriously ill. Come on, take down everyone in Ganquan Palace. Concubine Shunde is grounded. No one can be disturbed." No visits allowed!”

On the surface, the queen wanted to be fair and not bring all her confidants today. At this moment, there was hesitation in her expression.

Concubine Shunde took advantage of this moment of hesitation and said sternly: "Who dares?! I am Concubine Shunde personally appointed by the saint, the biological mother of Prince Zheng, and no servant of Ganquan Palace is allowed to take her away!"

My master is so stubborn that the servants in Ganquan Palace are no longer so afraid.

For a while, the two sides were in a confrontation, and the queen was unable to move Concubine Shunde.

Seeing that the queen's expression was getting colder and colder, Mei Qian was afraid that it would be difficult for her to be the master, so she took the initiative to say that she was willing to go with the queen.

The Queen's original intention was to put more charges on Concubine Shunde by interrogating the servants of Ganquan Palace. At this time, Mei Qian was enough.

She couldn't believe that after dozens of punishments were dealt with all at once, there would be no loyal servant to speak of, haha.

Concubine Shunde was confined in Ganquan Palace. She was worried about Mei Qian outside. Suddenly, she heard someone from the Queen Mother coming to tell her that it was not Concubine Shunde who had done this. The queen could not confine a high-ranking concubine at will. Her grounding.

It turned out that the news in the afternoon had already alarmed the Queen Mother. She had not asked about the affairs of the harem for a long time, but she actually sent Aunt Ning to protect Concubine Shunde. (End of chapter)
