The Salted Fish Empress Dotes on the Harem

In Fengwu Palace, there was only a sound of "pop", and the white jade porcelain cup was torn apart on the ground. Shen Bochen shouted angrily: "Trash! It's all trash! My prince was poisoned and killed, but we can't find out who did it. ! What is the use of raising these trash like them!"

The queen stood aside, ignoring the emperor's anger, and said calmly: "The imperial physician said that the child's poison was not poisoned in a day, but accumulated over time, and the amount of poison was very small each time, so the imperial physicians could not diagnose the pulse." After six months, those clues must have been cleared up by the murderer, and it is useless for the emperor to be angry at this time, it is better to look after the pregnant concubines more from today, and send people to pay attention to their basic necessities!"

What the queen said was not unreasonable, the emperor calmed down after venting, and immediately called Han Mingde in.

"Order the Ministry of Internal Affairs, from today onwards, Xu Cairen's clothing, food, housing and transportation must be carefully inspected before being sent in. If there are any problems with Xu Cairen's fetus, I will not forgive him lightly!"

Han Mingde hurriedly kowtowed and said "yes", then ran to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give orders without stopping.

In order to avoid causing panic about Fu Meiren's tire failure, and there must always be an explanation to the outside world, so the empress discussed with the emperor, and the excuse to the outside world was that the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck and she died of suffocation.

Since the fetus was covered in bruises after it was born, it can only be explained to everyone with this statement.

However, this rhetoric could not quell the doubts in the hearts of everyone in the harem.

It's not the first concubine in the palace who failed to keep her own child. Everyone is not surprised, but it's just that one or two failed to keep their children. The emperor has been on the throne for five years, and it seems that the only concubines who can give birth smoothly are Concubine Jin and Concubine Jin. Concubine Shu and Concubine Shu were both before the empress' miscarriage, and since the empress' miscarriage, no concubine could successfully give birth to an heir.

As a result, rumors began to spread in the harem.

Some people said that because the empress herself was infertile, she did not allow other concubines to bear children. There were also rumors that concubine Shu killed the heirs of the harem so that the eldest prince would become the only candidate for the crown prince in the future.

The rumors intensified, and for a while, the Queen and Concubine Shu became the victims of the rumor storm.

The matter gradually spread to the ears of the emperor and the empress dowager, and even the ministers of the former court heard the news. Headed by Fu Meiren's father, they begged the emperor to thoroughly investigate the murder of the emperor's heir.

However, those ministers had nothing to prove, only believed the rumors and went to the court to question the emperor. The emperor was furious and sentenced him to the rod on the spot.

So far, the rumors have been suppressed.

Because Fu Meiren had just given birth, considering that the rumors from the outside world would affect her recovery, she was half under house arrest and half ordered not to leave the palace.

A few days ago, Fu Meiren was only thinking about the emperor's son whom she had never met. She was so heartbroken that she didn't want to pay attention to what happened to the outside world. When she calmed down, she focused on recovering her body so that she could serve the emperor again. Such a serious rumor happened.

There was news in the palace every day, and it didn't take long for this matter to be covered up by new things.

For example, Xu Cairen was pregnant.

To say that Xu Cairen is really lucky, his appearance and family background are not so outstanding in this palace where capable people are born, and he has been quietly in the palace for many years, and now he is not only suddenly promoted from a little Baolin to a talented She is a woman, and she is pregnant within a few days after being favored, which makes everyone envious!

In order to avoid the recurrence of Fu Meiren's tragedy, the emperor specially ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pay special attention to Xu Cairen's basic necessities of life, and all regulations were arranged according to the rules of beauty.

The Empress Dowager turned a blind eye when she knew about it. After all, there are few heirs in the harem nowadays, and anyone who can give birth to a prince for the Tian family can make an exception at this moment and make Xu Cairen a beauty.

As a result, those concubines who have not been able to conceive for many years, or have not seen the emperor for a few times throughout the year, and have no chance to conceive are all envious, and their hearts are sour.

Jealousy can easily lead to hatred, so half of the concubines in the harem are cursing that Xu Cairen's pregnancy will never be delivered safely.

The fact that Xu Cairen was pregnant dilutes the gloom in the harem brought about by Fu Meiren's miscarriage. The emperor felt that he had sustenance in his heart, and visited Xu Cairen from time to time, hoping that Xu Cairen's pregnancy would be smooth. Production.

Xu Cairen was overjoyed, even the annoying Yan'er was much more pleasing to the eye, or in order to accumulate virtue for the child in his womb, he didn't treat Yan'er harshly anymore.

Qingran Pavilion was also in a state of peace.

Apart from the fact that Xu Cairen was pregnant, Zhao Nuoqing stayed in bed for many days and was very favored.

Although it was recorded in the daily life note of the respect room that Zhao Cairen did not enjoy Long En, and the two of them were just covering the quilt and chatting, but even so, everyone still felt a sense of crisis.

Because Zhao Cai was beautiful in life, and was deeply loved by the emperor, coupled with the blessing of the empress behind her, and the empress dowager's birthday banquet that day, Zhao Cairen fell into the eyes of the empress dowager, and now she still goes there from time to time. The Queen Mother waits by her side.

Nowadays, the most noble people in the entire Jokhang Kingdom seem to like Zhao Cairen, which makes the concubines in the harem puzzled and adds countless jealousy.

Therefore, the other half of the concubines secretly cursed Zhao Nuoqing that the higher he stood, the worse he would fall!

However, no matter how jealous everyone is, they still have to maintain a kind face on the surface. After all, none of them dare to provoke the two most prominent figures in the harem.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed. Since the last time the princess fell into the water, the emperor has always neglected Concubine Shu intentionally or unintentionally. Everyone can occasionally accompany the emperor for a day or two, but she is the only one who can't even see the emperor's face. Whenever she goes to Yangrong Hall to visit, Han Mingde blocks her outside the hall.

No matter how stupid Concubine Shu is, she can feel the taste, and because of the rumors that spread in the harem, she dare not be a monster for a while, for fear that the emperor will misunderstand her, so these days, she is very quiet. There was no reprimand to the concubines serving the bed, and those concubines who wanted Concubine Shu to clean up Zhao Cairen and Xu Cairen for them were all disappointed.

For a while, the harem became harmonious on the surface.

Although it was harmonious, there was not much fun to watch. When we woke up in the morning and dusk, everyone sat together for a while and then dispersed without much interest.

On this day, Zhao Nuoqing, who had left early, came out of Fengwu Palace, and was going to Lin Cairen's residence with Jin Miao and Jin He.

I heard that Lin Cairen accidentally sprained his foot while walking yesterday, and today he couldn't get out of bed. Early in the morning, Yun Qing came to ask the queen for leave. She was worried, so she wanted to go and have a look.

Before he had gone far, he heard Xu Cairen's voice behind him.

"Your sister is going to visit Sister Lin?"
