Episode 462

The first drum, the second drum, the third drum...

Time passed quietly.

The door of the side hall was tightly closed, only Eunuch Bai stood at the door, motionless.

The seven women in the East Palace all had ugly faces.

The expressions on their faces gradually changed from doubt to anxiety, and then panic.

They didn't know what happened, everyone was in danger, and they all looked at the Crown Princess, hoping to understand the situation from the Crown Princess' face.

The Crown Princess herself was also in a state of turmoil.

The crown princess asked Bai Gonggong many times: "When will the queen wake up?"

Eunuch Bai only prevaricated with words, complimented and smiled, and said: "When the empress wakes up, I will naturally send someone to summon her. The princess is safe and don't be impatient."

His tone made the princess unable to see anything unusual.

Every time the princess asked, Eunuch Bai always had this attitude.

The princess asked three times, but she didn't dare to ask any more.

She was also beating a drum in her heart.

It was the prince who asked her to serve in Kunning Palace.

The concubine's thoughts are all on the prince.

She thought it was arranged by the prince.

She went round and round in her mind, always unable to understand the prince's intention.

The East Palace is not safe, want to put them all in Kunning Palace?

It doesn't make sense, it's even funny.The princess thought of this, and quickly denied it herself.The East Palace is tightly guarded, even safer than Kunning Palace.

The Crown Princess thought a lot, but she was still confused, her gaze turned to Chen Liangdi inadvertently.Chen Liangdi's face turned slightly pale.His eyes are lifeless, and he is struggling to support himself.

Chen Liangdi was three months pregnant.

Ever since she entered the East Palace, she has been favored and favored constantly, and she is the champion.The prince dotes on her, but he won't let her become obsessed with the rules and disrespect the princess.

Therefore, the Crown Princess was jealous of Chen Liangdi, but she did not regard her as a threat.

Now, Chen Liangdi is pregnant again.In case it's a boy.It is the eldest son.

In the emperor, only the eldest son is useful, and the eldest son born by Emperor Liang is not a big threat, unless the crown princess is childless all her life.

The princess will not take it to heart either.

After all, only the eldest son can succeed to the throne.This is the rule of thousands of years.No matter how much the crown prince loves Chen Liangdi, he can't hold back the courtiers.

The princess is usually gentle and calm, just because she sees right and wrong very clearly, she knows what can be disputed and what does not need to be disputed.

Chen Liangdi is pregnant, for the Crown Princess.There is no need to fight.

Let Chen Liangdi give birth to this child happily, and make the prince happy too.

But now.The Crown Princess couldn't help but put her mind on Chen Liangdi.

The prince sent them to Kunning Palace this time, is it related to Chen Liangdi?

The princess's heart was in a mess, and she couldn't figure it out.

As she was thinking, a little maid came in and whispered something to Eunuch Bai.

The women were stunned, and they wanted to hear what the little maid had to say.Persevering, the little maid and Eunuch Bai whispered.The sound was so soft that they couldn't hear anything.

Everyone's expressions tensed up.

Eunuch Bai finished listening to the little palace maid.Smiling, he turned to the princess and the others and said, "The empress is awake..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The princess also smiled, ready to serve.

However, Eunuch Bai changed his voice and said: "Your Majesty slept for a whole day, she was out of energy, and she really couldn't see the Crown Princess. Your Majesty ordered the Imperial Dining Room to prepare a midnight snack, and let the Crown Princess lead everyone to eat, and then rested in the West Wing. Next, please greet the empress tomorrow."

The coolness in the princess's heart came out.

Do you want to leave them to rest in Kunning Palace?

What does this do?

"Elder-in-law, it's not early yet, and we're not very hungry, so let's just have a midnight snack. It's only a few steps back to the East Palace, so don't bother me..." The princess said with a smile.

Eunuch Bai's face became tense all of a sudden, and he said calmly: "Crown Princess, this is what the Empress ordered. The servants are just following the orders. If you refuse to use some midnight snacks, the Empress will also blame the servants for not doing well."

This is a threat.

The princess was even more disturbed.

She didn't dare to say anything more, and said obediently: "It's because I'm not sensible..."

Then, she took the other six concubines from the Eastern Palace to eat something.After the meal, they were served by the people of Kunning Palace and rested in the west wing of Kunning Palace.

Several women felt panic in their hearts, feeling that this matter was strange.

The Crown Princess is too honest to fight for anything, and others dare not surpass the Crown Princess.They didn't want to be the first birds, so they had to follow the princess and rest in Kunning Palace.

The others were fine, but Chen Liangdi was very uncomfortable.

She couldn't get used to the food from Kunning Palace.

When she was in the East Palace, the Crown Prince doted on her, and the Crown Princess had the temperament of half a Bodhisattva, Chen Liangdi lived happily and unrestrainedly.Not to mention ordinary food, no matter how rare something is, as long as she asks, the prince can get it for her.

She has never suffered as much as today.

Chen Liangdi was born in Tang Guogong's residence.

She followed her mother into the palace to see the empress, and was favored by the prince, and then entered the East Palace.

The number of concubines in the Eastern Palace is limited, one crown concubine, two partial concubines, and four good concubines.

Both the crown princess and the partial concubine had candidates, so she was wronged and became a good concubine.The prince promised her many times in private that after he ascended the throne in the future, Chen Liangdi would have to be made a second-rank concubine.

If Chen Liangdi could give birth to a son, then she might be crowned an imperial concubine.

In Chen Liangdi's life, she was well-clothed and well-fed in her natal family, and in the East Palace, she was very powerful and beautiful. She was very delicate.

When arranging the rest, Chen Liangdi quietly approached the princess, and said in a low voice: "Sister, my sister is not feeling well..."

The princess frowned.

She asked Chen Liangdi: "What's wrong?"

Chen Liangdi didn't dare to lie, she just said aggrievedly: "After sitting for a whole day, my waist is sore and my back hurts, and my stomach also hurts a little.

The princess' face changed slightly.

She hurriedly called the little maids of Kunning Palace and asked them to invite Aunt Sun.

"Let's just say that Chen Liangdi is pregnant and is not feeling well. Let Aunt Sun tell the empress to see if she can invite an imperial doctor overnight..." The princess said hurriedly.

This is a good opportunity, we can take advantage of Chen Liangdi's pregnancy to make things serious, and then everyone will go back to the East Palace.

It was the princess' idea.

She also didn't want to harm Chen Liangdi's child.

The little maid hesitated.

She paused for a moment before saying: "Crown Princess, I will invite you, Eunuch Bai..."

The princess looked at her suspiciously.

That's right, I didn't see Aunt Sun today.

If Aunt Sun has something to do for a while, she can't be free for a moment, right?

This is abnormal.

Although the princess was suspicious.He didn't dare to speak ill of the little maid.The people serving in Kunning Palace, who knows who will gain power next month?

All of these people may become the queen's confidants, and none of them can be offended.

The Crown Princess said with a gentle tone, "That's fine."

The little lady-in-waiting went.

Chen Liangdi was at the side, her face didn't show anything.But I always look down on the princess in my heart.The princess is really weak and incompetent.

Soon, Eunuch Bai came.

He also took a doctor with him.

There are several medical women in Kunning Palace, who were selected by the empress from the people, and the fear is that the concubines in the palace will suddenly become pregnant so that they can take care of them.

It's a high-sounding statement.

In fact.These medical women often did evil for Empress Tan, murdering the children of other concubines in the palace.

I saw these doctors come in.Chen Liangdi and the others didn't feel anything, but the Crown Princess' heart trembled.

Then, she heard Eunuch Bai's soft and respectful voice: "The empress has rested, so it is inconvenient to summon Chen Liangdi. These doctors are all experienced. Let them feel Chen Liangdi's pulse."

The crown princess said yes, she stepped back and asked the doctor to take Chen Liangdi's pulse.

Eunuch Bai also stood aside.

The palms of the crown prince's hands were already sweating thinly.

And Eunuch Bai.There was a smile in the voice, but it was somewhat meaningful: "When Chen Liangdi became pregnant, the slaves have never heard of it."

Eunuch Bai didn't hear about it, and the queen naturally didn't hear about it either.

This is to hide the truth from the queen.

Is there something that needs to be kept from the queen?

This is contempt for the queen, and it is not filial.

The princess hurriedly explained: "I only found out about it these days. Chen Liangdi entered the palace not long ago, and she doesn't know the rules in the palace. She just acts as if she is still outside. The child's upper body must be kept secret and must not be publicized."

"So that's how it is." Eunuch Bai said with a chuckle, "There are women in the palace who believe in this too. It's just that the Empress doesn't like it very much."

"I will teach Chen Liangdi a lesson later." The Crown Princess said.

At this time, she doesn't need to bear any responsibility for Chen Liangdi.

If it can be cleared, it must be cleared.

The princess is a person who can see clearly the priorities.

She knew exactly when to say something.

Therefore, her indifference and gentleness are appreciated even by the Queen Mother.

"Prince Princess is serious." Eunuch Bai said with a smile.

They were talking softly, and the doctor over there had already taken Chen Liangdi's pulse.

Then, a medical lady stepped forward, bowed to the Crown Princess, and gave another bow to Eunuch Bai, before saying: "... Concubine Liang is not unusual, I'm afraid I'm overthinking."

She meant that Chen Liangdi was pretending to be sick.

The princess's face suddenly turned red.

She bit her lip lightly.

However, Eunuch Bai breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's fine, it's fine. It's good for a child to be more cautious when he's new."

He helped Chen Liangdi speak.

The princess said yes.

After Eunuch Bai and the others left, the Crown Princess also calmed down.

"Go and rest." The Crown Princess said to Chen Liangdi, "Kunning Palace is not like the East Palace, so be more patient."

Chen Liangdi said yes.

She was overjoyed.

She thought the princess would scold her.

She wasn't pretending to be sick, she just didn't feel well.

Now that she was fine, the Crown Princess didn't say anything to her, and she didn't feel burdened, so she went back to her room to rest.

The prince has been busy until the third watch.

When he returned to the inner courtyard of the Eastern Palace, the room was still lit and waiting.

The princess is not here.

It was so late, the prince was very surprised, and asked the maid: "Where is the princess?"

The palace maid hurriedly explained: "The Crown Princess brought several empresses into the palace to serve the empress in the morning, and she has not come back yet."

The prince's head buzzed.
