Harem for a living

Chapter 24

"Li Yuyi, what is this?" Before the emperor could ask, the queen asked first. Li Yuyi put the black thing on a clean plate, and then turned around and replied: "If you go back to your mother, this is Black fungus has the effect of invigorating blood circulation, so it’s okay to eat it at ordinary times, but if pregnant people eat it, there will be evidence of bleeding.”

"Then the imperial concubine..." the queen asked quickly, and Li Yuyi shook his head: "The imperial concubine should not eat much, so there is nothing serious about it. As long as she takes good care of herself in the future, she will be able to give birth to a healthy prince."

"Besides that, are there any other things that are not good for pregnant women?" The emperor's excitement at the moment has passed, and he finally returned to his original state. He coughed lightly and signaled to Doctor Li Go ahead and check it out.

Doctor Li went back to check the remaining things, then shook his head: "If you go back to the emperor, there is nothing else."

The queen smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, from the looks of it now, we should be too nervous. The food for today's banquet was reported by the Imperial Dining Room early in the morning, and the chicken soup with yam and fungus was also included. Maybe the imperial concubine didn't know about it. Pregnant women can't eat this stuff, that's why this kind of thing happened. It's also my fault, the imperial concubine didn't say anything, and I didn't even think of asking the imperial doctor to take the pulse of all the sisters to see if there is something wrong body, this is what made the imperial concubine suffer a crime."

The implication is that Concubine Yang Gui didn't report that you were pregnant, so I, the queen, naturally don't have to think about what you can't eat at this banquet.Besides, don't you know you're pregnant?
If he knew that he still ate so many black fungus, he would not be sure about this matter today.If you don't know, it would be remiss of the Tai Hospital to invite the imperial doctors of Ping'an Mai.

"Who is the one who asked the imperial concubine for a safe pulse during this time?" The emperor was silent for a while, and asked Li Yuyi who was standing aside. But just over half a month ago, the Ping An pulse was requested every five days, if it was five days ago, it might not be possible to diagnose it."

If it wasn't for the bleeding today, maybe he wouldn't be able to get it out.

The emperor frowned slightly, thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "That's the concubine's carelessness, that's all, since the concubine is fine, this matter is over. Doctor Li will write a list later, including the things that pregnant women can't eat List them all and send them to Jingren Palace."

After Liu Cheng sent Imperial Doctor Li out, the emperor glanced at the concubines who were standing neatly by the side: "It's getting late, you all should go back and rest. The imperial concubine needs to rest. During this time, you Don't bother the concubine if you have nothing to do."

Saying so, she waved her hand to let Chen Manrou and the others go down, and the queen quickly said: "Your Majesty, today's matter is considered a misunderstanding. The fact that the imperial concubine is popular has nothing to do with them, but it surprised them too. I feel sorry for you." , do you think I rewarded my younger sisters with some items, which can be regarded as shocking?"

"The reward will come from me." The emperor thought for a while and said with a smile: "The empress's small private treasury is reserved for our Hongwen to marry a wife, and to save Yi'an's dowry."

The queen blushed, and shyly covered her face with a veil: "The emperor will make fun of me, but since the emperor wants to save me, I won't refuse, but the emperor's reward can be generous. Let the younger sisters say that I, the empress, finally decided to be generous, but I used the emperor as a shield and replaced all the good things with bad things."

The emperor nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Zitong, I will be generous for you!"

Chen Manrou and the others looked at the two tender and affectionate teasing each other, which was really boring. They turned their toes on the ground twice, and then heard the gentle and dignified voice of the empress: "Okay, let's go, today I'm tormenting you too, go back to have a good rest at night, and I won't come to greet you tomorrow."

As for the emperor, he naturally followed the queen.Even if he didn't discuss Yang Guifei's childcare when he went back, he still had to look at his children's face. Hongwen's birthday banquet was ruined today, so he had to go and make up for it.In addition, he was very satisfied with the queen's previous performance, and he was very willing to give the queen some face and respect.

"Mother..." As soon as Chen Manrou went back, Jinhuan and Duiyue rushed over to greet her. Chen Manrou nodded, turned her head and said to Weile and Huiyin who were following behind her: "Go back and rest for now, let Xiao Dingzi and the others Boil some hot water."

He agreed to the music and the meeting drink, saluted and retreated.Jin Huan and Dui Yue followed Chen Manrou in, Jin Huan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Chen Manrou, while Dui Yue stood beside Chen Manrou and squeezed her shoulders, and asked by the way, "Your Majesty, why are you back so early? The maid was thinking, Shouldn't it be lively right now?"

"Concubine Yang has become popular, and the eldest prince and princess have been sent back to rest. Naturally, our green leaves to accompany the red flowers will be useless." Chen Manrou sighed and said, Jinhuanhe was shocked by Yueyue's face: "Yang Is the imperial concubine seeing popularity?"

"Well, there is a soup today that is chicken soup with yam and fungus. Concubine Yang used a little too much." Chen Manrou smiled and said: "This is very interesting today. The queen said that it was because Concubine Yang did not report her pregnancy. , so I didn’t know that Concubine Yang Gui was pregnant, so I didn’t care about this soup when it was reported by Yushanfang.”

"As for Concubine Yang, she was too careless. She didn't even know she was pregnant. She just ate too much fungus and became popular." Chen Manrou said with a light smile, and Jinhuan was very puzzled: "Concubine Yang is pregnant. Your Majesty, you can see it, but the Empress Dowager doesn't know?"

"So what if the queen knows? Concubine Yang didn't say anything, neither did the imperial doctor who asked for the pulse. Could it be that the empress is staring at Concubine Yang's belly every day, and then counting when she will come to live?" Chen Manrou said. She curled her lips: "Since Concubine Yang doesn't say anything, the queen naturally doesn't know."

"What about Concubine Yang?" Jin Huan asked again: "Concubine Yang must know that she is pregnant, right? Didn't she bring Concubine Cheng into the palace? If she knew, and she still ate black fungus, then her child... ..."

"Pregnant women will see redness after eating black fungus, but if they eat too much, they will have a miscarriage." Chen Manrou stuffed a piece of snack into her mouth, and chewed it hard. The banquet really didn't take long, and the dishes didn't even come out. , she was distracted to watch the singing and dancing, she was not full at all.

"Niang Niang, my maidservant went to the big kitchen to order you some supper?" Duoyue saw Chen Manrou rubbing her stomach, and immediately realized that Chen Manrou was not full, so she hurriedly asked.Chen Manrou shook her head: "No need, the imperial concubine's empress is popular, but your empress is so heartless that she wants something to eat. It really can't bring out my sadness for the imperial concubine."

Both Jinhuan and Yueyue's mouths twitched, their master didn't show any sadness from the beginning to the end, okay?

"Your Majesty, you haven't said whether the matter of the imperial concubine was man-made or an accident." Jin Huan turned his head for a while, and then turned to the matter of the imperial concubine's popularity.Duyue stretched out his hand to poke Jinhuan's cheek: "You're so stupid, the queen knew that Concubine Yang Gui was pregnant, but she didn't replace this soup, and Concubine Yang Guifei knew she was pregnant but still ate this soup, you Is it an accident or man-made?"

"Is that for people?" Jin Huan said, and frowned again: "The queen will definitely not take action against Concubine Yang. I don't know if it is a boy or a girl's child. After all, she has the eldest son. As long as she is the queen in the future, the eldest son If her position remains the same, then she is not in danger. So this matter should not have been done by the empress."

"As for the noble concubine, she ate the black fungus even though she knew it was dangerous. She definitely didn't want to abort the child. Therefore, her goal was to be popular, not to have a miscarriage. If she ate it herself, she would be able to Grasp this amount, after all, no one knows her physical condition better than herself."

Chen Manrou stretched out her hand and patted the back of Jinhuan's hand: "Jinhuan is really getting smarter and smarter, keep talking, if what you say makes sense, there will be a big reward!"

Jin Huan was very excited, and then said: "But no matter whether she has mastered the amount or not, this kind of thing is always dangerous. If she knows that there is danger and still does it, it means that if she doesn't do it, there will be more things in the future." Great danger. In other words, Concubine Yang knew that someone would attack her, so she acted ahead of time."

"Well, so the emperor let her rest, and didn't allow others to visit her, and asked the imperial hospital to send a list of forbidden food. After two days, there will probably be a follow-up." Chen Manrou also nodded, Yang Guifei was playing tricks. it is good.

If the emperor has reached this stage of analysis, then it is time to think about who is going to harm Concubine Yang, and Concubine Yang can only choose to harm herself to protect herself, which means that the other party must have a higher status than her.

Then, there are only three candidates, Empress Dowager Ci Ning, Empress Dowager Ci An, and Empress.The Empress Dowager Ci'an was the first to rule it out, because the old lady would definitely not harm her own grandson for no reason.Empress Dowager Ci Ning is very suspicious, because she has no reason to oppose the emperor, but she wants to destroy everything that belongs to the emperor, Concubine Yang Gui is the emperor's favorite, Empress Dowager Ci Ning is naturally very happy that Concubine Yang Guifei died twice .

And the queen, too, was suspicious.She was dignified and generous, but facing a favored imperial concubine who was pregnant with a child, could she say with certainty that she didn't have the slightest idea in her heart?
But the queen performed very well tonight. As soon as Yang Guifei fainted, the queen immediately took control of the scene, which was equivalent to picking herself out.She didn't do anything bad, so she wasn't guilty at all.At night, I will roll the bed sheets with the emperor, and the pillow will be completely eliminated by the wind blowing.

Therefore, there is only one most suspicious person left in this matter, and that is Empress Dowager Ci Ning, who would cause waves of three feet without wind. Want to frame the queen.

"So Empress Dowager Ci Ning will take action against Concubine Yang?" Chen Manrou and the others analyzed for a long time, and came to a conclusion, then Jin Huan used his brains to find out: "Then, will the Emperor be confronted with Empress Dowager Ci Ning next?" gone?"
