The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 261 The Harem Explodes
The imperial physicians got the order, whoever dared not do their best, was busy looking for things that shouldn't be imported inside and outside the Ronghua Palace.

Taking advantage of these imperial doctors searching everywhere, Emperor Wu took Concubine Shu's confidant Juan'er and asked: "The imperial doctor said that your mother has been worrying and worrying recently. What is the reason for it? She is pregnant, and I am not telling you Passing over to Empress Empress, will you save her morning and evening meditation? Why are you still worrying and restless?"

Juan'er knelt down with a thud, and behaved like the imperial doctors, trembling all over, afraid to tell the truth.

Emperor Wu held Concubine Shu's cold hands, and asked with a gloomy face, "Are you afraid to say it, or don't you want to say it?"

"I don't dare!" Juan'er knelt on the ground, her face turned pale, "The imperial concubine said that if Concubine Shu and the servants dare to complain to His Majesty, we will have nothing to eat!"

"Noble Concubine?" Emperor Wu squinted his eyes: "Is it Concubine De Gui or Concubine Xiao?"

Concubine Shu was lying on the bed unable to move, her lower abdomen was throbbing, her facial features were distorted, she was still awake after hearing the words, she whispered: "Juan'er, shut up..."

"Mother, woo woo woo..." Juan'er scolded her, tears came down immediately, and she really shut her mouth.

Only then did Concubine Shu turn to Emperor Wu, her face covered in cold sweat was as pale as paper, and she looked like a ghost crawling from hell, she tightly held Emperor Wu's palm, the pain made her words low and intermittent extremely unstable: "Your Majesty, don't believe the nonsense of those imperial doctors. Concubine... How can I be worried..."

The more she said that, the more Emperor Wu believed that there was an unknown secret in it.It's just that Concubine Shu was in severe pain, so he couldn't force him to ask, so he immediately comforted: "Don't be afraid, I will definitely try my best to keep our child!"

Concubine Shu nodded, the pain hit again, and the hot current rolled out from under her body, as if tearing people apart.But she knew in her heart that this child could no longer be kept, she closed her eyes powerlessly, two lines of hot tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

The remaining imperial doctor turned pale with shock after taking his pulse, and hurriedly ordered the maidservant to prepare hot water, and there was a great chaos in the tent.

Emperor Wu retreated at this time, pulled Juan'er aside and asked about the situation carefully.

"Today, the empress has been staying in the Ronghua Palace and has never gone out. She ate some light porridge for lunch. When seeing off the guests in the evening, the empress complained of back pain, and immediately the bleeding continued." Juan'er said with tears: " The servant has been serving carefully, and I don't know what's wrong, I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"

Emperor Wu frowned and said, "Get up and talk. Who is the imperial concubine you are talking about?"

Juan'er looked around, then took a step forward cautiously, and said in a low voice: "These days, Empress Xiao Guifei always took advantage of His Majesty's absence to announce our empress to Zhongyi Palace... the first time my empress went, The imperial concubine made the empress spend more than half an hour before getting up; when she went there for the second time, the imperial concubine said that the empress was strong, and it would be okay to kneel for a while, so she made her kneel for an hour. The last few times I went, the imperial concubine said again, After a while, it will be the day when the princess gets married. If someone who is able can make a hippajili with his own hands, it will be a good fortune. Let the empress make a hijab for the princess within five days..."

Emperor Wu followed her gaze, and he saw a piece of red satin in the bamboo basket on the small couch, the phoenix pattern on it had just been half-embroidered.

"Your Majesty finally stayed up all night to finish chasing the hipa, and sent it to the imperial concubine Empress. The Empress only took one look, and said that the phoenix pattern eyes were embroidered as if she was crying. She said that the Empress wanted to curse the princess on purpose and asked her to do it again." Juan Juan Thinking of this, Er almost collapsed: "Our empress has not slept well for many days, and every time I go to Zhongyi Palace, I am trembling with fear, but I have to go. If I don't go, the imperial concubine will send someone to pass on the news again and again. Believe me, she didn't say anything about her, but took the second princess away from her side and beat and scolded her. The second princess is also covered in scars now, and her heart aches when she sees it, how dare she not go..."

"Concubine Xiao! How could she be so bold!" This was simply shocking, and Emperor Wu fell down on the chair as if all his strength had been drained.

Concubine Xiao Gui also knew how much he was looking forward to this child. Emperor Wu couldn't believe it. He whispered in his ear a few days ago that she would personally take care of this child's daughter, and she treated her son like this behind her back !
Juan'er cried: "The imperial concubine's natal family is from a clan, so it's not like our empress, the empress has no noble relatives, if she disobeys the imperial concubine, she will make things difficult for her! The empress is so pitiful!"

Emperor Wu was silent, and the wrinkled forehead was dull.Juan'er's words mentioned the Achilles' heel of Emperor Wu, yes, the Xiao family, he supported the Xiao family step by step, and unconsciously, it seemed to have surpassed his control.His love for that woman was also a bit too much, gradually exceeding expectations.

The imperial doctor stumbled out and knelt down in front of Emperor Wu to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent, the prince... can't keep it!"

This was undoubtedly another huge blow, Emperor Wu's body shook violently, and he leaned weakly against the back of the chair behind him.

Concubine Shu inside had already fainted from the pain, without crying at all.The old Emperor Wu couldn't help his grief, he covered his cheeks, his eyes dimmed in his palms.

Empress Zhao also rushed to the Ronghua Palace when she heard the news, almost entering the palace at the same time as Concubine De Gui.

As soon as the two arrived, seeing Emperor Wu's decadent face, they both understood a little.

Concubine De Gui hurriedly stepped forward and put her arms around Emperor Wu's shoulders, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to be sad. Your Majesty is now in the prime of life, and there will be more children..."

"No more." Emperor Wu said in a low voice, "You don't have to say these words to comfort me."

Empress Zhao put on a graceful mask and angrily asked the imperial doctor and Juan'er who were kneeling beside her: "It's so good, why did Concubine Shu suddenly have a miscarriage?"

Her answer was a plate of stewed mandarin ducks and five treasures.

The imperial doctor knelt and replied: "My empress, I found this plate of stewed mandarin ducks and five treasures in the kitchen of the Ronghua Palace. There are... a lot of saffron in it!"

"Your Majesty eats this dish at night!" Juan'er suddenly straightened up, pointed at this dish and shouted angrily.

"How did this dish come from?" Queen Zhao asked immediately.

She has already lived a fine life, and when she came here, she went through the things of these days, so she naturally knows how to cook for her own benefit.Emperor Wu was nervous about this child, no one in the palace knew it, if he took good care of this child and gave birth smoothly, it would be a great achievement.This child is young, and compared with his older brothers, he is completely uncompetitive. Queen Zhao is not worried that he will pose a threat to Wei Quan's status.

Juan'er cried, "It was brought by the chef in the big kitchen."

"Xuan!" Empress Zhao immediately ordered with a blank expression.

Concubine Shu snorted in the inner room and woke up slowly. Emperor Wu immediately left a sentence to check carefully, and went into the back room to accompany Concubine Shu.

When Concubine Shu finally fell into a coma again and Emperor Wu came out, Empress Zhao had already figured it out.

It is true that this dish is made by the big kitchen, but the chef who cooks it is Xiao Guifei's person.It is clear at a glance who made this dish.

Emperor Wu was so angry that he flipped the table and almost fainted. He maintained his last rationality and asked people to bring Concubine Xiao Gui here.

Of course Concubine Xiao did not admit it, until the chef came out to identify her, she had nothing to say, coupled with Juan'er's correction and the injury on the second princess, Concubine Xiao could not deny it, she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! The concubine was confused for a moment!"

"Are you confused? I don't think you are confused at all!" Emperor Wu pulled out the tight hem of her clothes from her hand, almost staggering Concubine Xiao Gui, and said, "You have calculated very clearly. If Concubine Shu didn't If you have this child, you will never surpass you in status in the future, and your son will be more likely to be enthroned! What a wolf's ambition, fortunately, I have always thought you are gentle and gentle, a noble lady worth learning from!"

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Xiao Gui's face paled, she knelt on the ground and cried repeatedly: "This concubine has a pure heart towards His Majesty!"

"Queen, how to deal with this matter?" Emperor Wu stopped looking at her and asked Queen Zhao instead.

In the past, since he was a favorite, he would not pursue concubine Xiao Gui for any small mistakes, let alone ask the empress for her opinion.Concubine Xiao Gui went too far this time, she already touched Emperor Wu's bottom line.When Emperor Wu did this, it was clear that he was not showing favoritism.There are not many such opportunities. If Queen Zhao doesn't seize them, it will be difficult to be the master of the palace.

Empress Zhao looked solemn, and said in a concentrated voice: "Concubine Xiao Gui is a second-rank virtuous concubine, she should serve Your Majesty well, and she should also take care of the sisters below. I didn't expect Concubine Xiao Gui to be so narrow-minded, and absolutely not worthy of this virtuous word. .Murting concubines, poisoning the unborn prince, and abusing the princess, these three crimes, that one should be beheaded!"

"Decapitation?" Emperor Wu pondered, obviously thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Concubine Xiao looked at her words and was greatly disappointed, she hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, since I came to the palace, I have never done anything beyond the palace rules except for this one. Please take it easy for my concubine to take it easy because of my confusion." Let it go!"

Emperor Wu stood up and looked at her face, which was beautiful in the past, but at this moment he felt disgusted.He rubbed his temples wearily: "The imperial concubine Xiao has lost her virtue. From today onwards, she will be demoted to the seventh-rank Zhaoyi, and she will move to Mengyan Palace. She is not allowed to leave without an edict. Empress, I don't want anyone in court these days." You should know the whole story of the bureau discussing this matter and what to do, right?"

"The concubine understands, and the concubine accepts the order." Queen Zhao hurriedly knelt down to accept the order.

Emperor Wu ordered again: "Take good care of Concubine Shu, she will be sad for a long time after she has no child."

Empress Zhao agreed, and respectfully sent Emperor Wu away from Ronghua Palace.

Emperor Wu felt depressed, and Qi Chun, who was following behind him, knew his troubles, stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty is thinking about how to explain to the Xiao family?"

"What is there to explain?" Emperor Wu snorted coldly: "Xiao Qingming taught a good daughter, a good grandson!"

These two mother and daughter are really a pot of porridge, one outside kills important ministers, and the other poisons his children inside, they really play him in the applause!

Emperor Wu looked at the sky in the east. Tomorrow was coming again. He had to think carefully about how to face the huge waves tomorrow!

Early the next day, all the officials packed up and entered the Golden Luan Hall in an orderly manner.

Mu Yunge, who was far away in the Ningbi Pavilion, seemed to have eyes. Thinking of today's arrangement, he calmly smiled...
