Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

Tian Lingyue's report dealt a fatal blow to Meng Yuzhu.

The emperor ordered that the imperial concubine Meng Yuzhu was banned from Changle Palace and would not leave unless she died. After death, they are burned and buried, and they are not allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

Regarding Tian Lingyue, who was the informer, the emperor commended her for her meticulousness and great achievements, and promoted her to the title of Tian Guiren. Still living in Changle Palace.

In Changle Palace, Meng Yuzhu was like a frustrated ball. She had been running the harem all these years, and the emperor's most severe punishment for her was just a fine. Now that she was banned from Changle Palace, she would have to die, that is, she would be left to fend for herself.

As usual, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent Tian Lingyue a reward for her promotion, gold and silver utensils, agate jewelry, cloth tents, everything that the nobles use, no one left behind. Everyone knows that anyone who can bite a noble concubine is in the harem. Not easy to mess with. Tian Guiren became more confident.

Meng Yuzhu watched something like running water being delivered to Tian Lingyue's palace by the eunuch of the internal affairs. She held on to the pillar and sneered: "Can you sit firmly when you step on other people's heads and sit in the position of a noble person?"

Tian Lingyue was promoted to a nobleman. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent things, none of the harem sisters came to send blessings. I think when Wei Zhaonan was promoted to a nobleman, Jingren Palace was as lively as the Chinese New Year, but Changle Palace was cold. Deserted.

What's even more strange is that although Meng Yuzhu was banned, her status was not reduced.

Although she had gained the status of a noble, she still had to salute Meng Yuzhu according to the rules.

Tian Lingyue stroked those gold hairpins, silver discs and jade bracelets, feeling a little unhappy.

Shangghu reminded in a low voice: "Master, as usual, it is time to salute the noble concubine."

"Although she is a noble concubine, the emperor no longer wants to see her. So what is the difference between her and her death? Why do I need to salute her again?"

Meng Yuzhu rushed into the side hall and swollen half of Tian Lingyue's face: "Little hoof, you are just a nobleman, but you dare to be rude."

"The emperor did not take your life, nor did he send you to the cold palace. Even if he is tolerant, you still dare to cause trouble in Changle Palace?" Since moving to Changle Palace, Tian Lingyue dared to disobey Meng Yuzhu for the first time.

Meng Yuzhu sneered: "A noble concubine is a noble concubine, and a noble person is a noble person. The only difference is the lack of rules."

"You are nothing more than an abandoned concubine."

"Well said." Meng Yuzhu's face twitched, she raised her hand and slapped Tian Lingyue as she sat on the ground: "You earned this slap based on your ability."

Tian Lingyue was angry, grabbing Meng Yuzhu's hair and trying to fight her. She was single and weak, so she was no match for Meng Yuzhu. Meng Yuzhu easily slapped her twice more, hitting Tian Lingyue's eyes. Risking sparks.

I can't live this day.

Tian Lingyue cried and went to the queen to complain, saying that after Meng Yuzhu was banned from Changle Palace, her temper became more and more out of control. She criticized her every day and hit and scolded her, a noble person, and Changle Palace was afraid that she would no longer be able to live there.

The queen pondered for a while: "These days are quite difficult."

Guiyuan reminded the queen in a low voice that although Meng Yuzhu had to die and had to leave Changle Palace, the emperor still retained her status as a noble concubine.

The queen pondered again: "Then... the imperial concubine's position is always above yours."

Finally, the queen came to the conclusion that the matter was serious and she had to ask the emperor for instructions.

After asking the emperor for instructions, he came to the conclusion that the affairs of the harem were under the control of the queen.

The queen was always kind and rewarded Tian Lingyue with some nourishing medicinal materials and then let her go back.

From then on, Tian Lingyue had nowhere to turn.

I can't win after fighting and scolding, and I can't win after scolding.

Meng Yuzhu often attacked her side hall: "Don't think that you will have a good life if you overthrow me. You are a betrayer seeking glory. Will the emperor not be wary of you? Mr. Tian, ​​you are too young after all."

The Queen gave her a lot of nourishing herbs, but Tian Ling's face would swell or her hair would fall out every now and then, and he couldn't swallow these nourishing herbs.

Tian Lingyue also wanted to use her favor to suppress Meng Yuzhu, but her green card had long since fallen into dust. The emperor didn't even think of turning it over, so he asked the Queen in an insidious manner. The Queen looked helpless while eating a cantaloupe: "Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs handle it." Let’s wipe my green-headed cards together, my green-headed cards are also gathering dust.”

Tian Lingyue once wanted to kill Meng Yuzhu with poison, but Meng Yuzhu's food was always inspected. Besides, if she died suddenly from poisoning, any fool would be able to tell who the murderer was. Although Meng Yuzhu was grounded, she was not stupid. It was she who poisoned Tian Lingyue, and it was not Tian Lingyue's turn to poison her.

The servants in the palace know how to act based on their master's face.

Meng Yuzhu and Tian Lingyue were pecking at each other, and anyone with a discerning eye would know what was going on.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent things to Changle Palace once every three days in the past, but later it became once every six days and once every ten days.

The servants of Changle Palace go to the House of Internal Affairs to pick up things. In the past, they would go to the House of Internal Affairs to pick up things and then leave. The things they picked up were always fresh and high-quality. Nowadays, it is common for the servants of Changle Palace to wait for an hour or two when they go to pick up things. Sometimes I can't even get anything, and I just give it away in a few words.

Shengzhu wanted to retort a few words, but the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs blocked her mouth first: "Sangzhu, it's not very honorable for some people to climb up the ladder by biting others."

After hearing this, Cashew Nut acted like a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and approached the imperial concubine. He tried to get something, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs said, "Cashew Nut, do you have no memory of what the imperial concubine did next? She was locked up in Changle Palace and grounded." Don't do that. If you anger the emperor, I'm afraid he will be transferred to the cold palace, and you will also have to go to the cold palace to serve Cashew Guo."

The two of them hurried back in despair, not daring to say another word.

When paying greetings at Jingren Palace, without the cunning concubine, no one dared to confront the empress. The empress sat on the soft couch, with a plate of grapes on the left, a plate of Ruyi cake on the right, and the concubine of Wei beside her ear. The sweet music played made me feel a little comfortable.

"I heard that the imperial concubine has lost a lot of weight recently. Alas, it's really her own fault."

"Tian Guiren seldom comes out and walks around. Most likely, he failed to defeat the imperial concubine before."

The queen stuffed her mouth with food, like a hamster, bulging her cheeks, chewing Ruyi cake and drinking a bowl of honey hawthorn water: "It's hot today, each palace will receive an extra portion of hawthorn water every day, by the way, the slave below , each person also adds a bowl of mung bean water every day to relieve the heat."

"The Queen is kind."

The queen felt a little dizzy, as if the mixed colors were splashed in front of her. The morning meeting can't go on anymore, so I have to lie down and take it easy.

Wei Bin blushed and leaned in front of the queen's bed, saying that this month's monthly routine had not come yet.

The queen squinted her eyes and rested her head on the embroidered pillow: "It's already the twelfth, haven't the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent my sister's monthly payment yet?"

Wei Bin's face turned even redder: "It's not that monthly pattern."

"I think that no one in the Ministry of Internal Affairs dares to default on my sister's monthly payment. Could it be that I have defaulted on the monthly payment for your servants?"

Wei Bin frowned and leaned down: "It's because I didn't get it."

The queen opened her eyes and sat up: "But there is no sunflower water?"

Wei Bin nodded.

The queen slapped her thigh: "I heard that a woman will have no sunflower water when she is sixty. How old are you, sister? This...this...is really not appropriate."

After all, the queen has never given birth, and neither have other women in the palace, so the queen has little experience.

Concubine Wei was more thoughtful and said to the queen with a blushing face: "I heard someone said that if the woman has a monthly pregnancy, she may be..."

"You dare to say that if there is any serious disease, there are precious medicinal materials in this palace."

"Maybe I'm pregnant." Wei Bin lowered her head, with deep dimples at the corners of her mouth.

The queen was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

This is the emperor's child.

For a while, Concubine Wei went to the Palace of Supreme Harmony to serve her. Concubine Wei served diligently, so it was natural that she would be pregnant. I forgot about this layer.

The queen was so excited that she went to bed barefoot as if sleepwalking: "Now that you are pregnant and give birth to our Wei family's child, the queen mother will not urge me to give birth."

Wei concubine......

"There used to be rumors inside and outside the palace that the emperor was useless. This time you are pregnant. It seems that the emperor is useless."

Wei concubine......

"You take good care of your health. As the saying goes, the mother is more valuable than the child. I probably won't be able to give birth to anything. If you give birth to a prince in the future, if the prince is promising again, when I am gone, my sister will be the one taking the back seat. of."

Wei Bin covered her face with a handkerchief: "What are you talking about, sister?"

"It's all my fault. I asked you to play the piano earlier. Come on, come on, you lie down on the bed, and I will take care of you." The queen couldn't help but press Wei Bin onto the brocade bed, and sent Guiyuan to the imperial hospital to invite the imperial doctor. Diagnose pulse.

The imperial doctor who came was Zhang Zhaoyi.

Dr. Zhang is young and powerful, and is also a leader in the Tai Hospital.

After taking Wei Concubine's pulse, Doctor Zhang seemed to have something to hide.

The queen dismissed the attendants and asked in a low voice how the imperial concubine, the imperial physician Zhang, was doing.

Doctor Zhang pursed his lips.

"Just tell me." Wei Bin tilted her face: "I want to hear the truth."

"Concubine Wei is not pregnant, it's just that the sunflower water is out of tune. And..."

"And what?" Wei Bin asked, "I want you to tell the truth."

"Master Wei's body is probably infertile." Doctor Zhang sighed: "This is due to a congenital deficiency and there is no place for a fetus, so..."

Wei Bin's handkerchief fell to the ground.

The queen fell down on the low chair and almost spilled the nourishing soup in her hand.

Just because she, the queen, could not get pregnant and the nourishing soup she drank over the years was in vain, the Queen Mother found a way to get the second lady Wei Zhaoning from the Fuguo Palace.

Wei Zhaoning is talented and focuses on a young and beautiful character. If she is pregnant, she can also make up for the embarrassing situation of the queen's infertility, and at the same time protect the stability of the clan.

Ever since Wei Zhaoning entered the palace, the Queen Mother has always arranged opportunities for her to sleep with her, intentionally or unintentionally. Even the Queen has spoken kindly to the Emperor for Wei Zhaonan many times, and the Wei family has pinned their opportunities on her.

However, Imperial Physician Zhang said that Wei concubines should not be pregnant. Isn't this a bolt from the blue?

Could it be that the Wei family was so miserable that the two sisters could not give birth to a child?

Isn't this the total annihilation of the army?

The queen felt that she had no hope, but Wei Concubine could not lose hope.

She asked Dr. Zhang to check Wei Bin's pulse again.

Wei Bin's eyes were a little frightened, and her chest was heaving violently. When she saw Doctor Zhang shaking his head again, tears welled up in Wei Bin's eyes.

There were at least three or five imperial doctors who took Wei Bin's pulse, and no one said that she was infertile. Doctor Zhang was the first one.

Then I thought about it, Wei Concubine was the hope of the Wei family. Even if an imperial doctor could tell that Wei Concubine was unable to conceive, who would dare to say so.

The queen felt even more dizzy.

"I see that the Queen is not feeling well. I will give the Queen a look."

"No need." The queen leaned down weakly.

"I have the responsibility to protect the queen's health."

The queen stretched out her arms helplessly.

Doctor Zhang checked the queen's pulse and knelt down in the next second: "Your Majesty, you are pregnant."

Queen...

The queen was even a little panicked.

In the past, she always felt that no one in the harem could be pregnant by her.

Is she pregnant now?

Doctor Zhang took another pulse and was even more surprised: "The Queen is pregnant with twins, a dragon and a phoenix."

If you are not pregnant, you will not be pregnant. If you are pregnant, you will be pregnant with two.

Over the years, the Queen's sunflower water has always been inaccurate, sparse and intermittent, so she didn't have any sunflower water recently and didn't take it to heart. She didn't expect that she was pregnant.

She couldn't even remember the last time the emperor favored her.

This pregnancy was really outrageous and embarrassing, and the queen was still a little at a loss.

Wei Bin had pulled back the quilt and knelt at the Queen's feet. Tears flowed from the corner of Wei Bin's eyes to her chin. She had always been calm and indifferent, but she had never lost her composure like this. Now she was crying silently next to the Queen: "Congratulations, sister." My sister is pregnant."

"I...I..." The queen didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"The Wei family sent me to the palace in order to give birth to the emperor's heir and stabilize the position of the Wei family. Now that I know that I will never be pregnant in this life, what's the point of living? If I can't be pregnant, If word gets out, it will only bring shame to the Wei family, so it would be a relief if I die." Wei Bin said, pulling out the hairpin from her hair and about to stab it into her neck.

The queen was frightened and quickly grabbed Wei Bin's hand: "Sister, please don't let your mind wander."

"My sister is a queen, and now she is pregnant with an heir. She will naturally have a bright future in the future. She is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Unfortunately, I will have no place in the deep palace in the future. A concubine who cannot have children, the emperor still has Is it necessary to favor her? When the time comes, I will no longer favor her, and I will not be able to have children, and everyone will look down on me. Instead of living a life that makes people laugh and brings shame to the Wei family, it is better to end it now and die a hundred times. It is just a pity. I can no longer accompany my sister in the palace, and I will never be able to repay my kindness to me in this life."

As Wei Bin said, the hairpin was two points deeper, and the blood from her neck had already soaked her collar.

The red blood is shocking.

The queen's hands were trembling: "Zhao Ning, there is a way for everything."

"I was born unable to have children, how can I still go against the will of heaven? Sister, you let me die."

"Zhao Ning, listen to your sister and let her think about it. You will always find a way. Don't be confused. You are the only sister." The queen also shed tears.

"I do have a way here, but I don't know if sister is willing to do it. If sister is not willing, just let me die. If sister is willing, you have saved my life. In the next life, Zhao Ning will work as a cow or a horse, and I will repay my sister. A great favor.”

"You said."

"With this method, firstly, I can keep my sister's position in the middle palace, secondly, I can keep the honor of the Wei family, and thirdly, I can protect my sister's reputation." The hairpin in Wei Bin's hand trembled slightly: "It depends on my sister, whether you are willing or not. I accept my sister’s method of killing three birds with one stone.”
