Chapter 321 Infertility (Part Two)
She has always been very strange about this matter.

Regardless of whether Emperor Zhao likes the queen or not, she is the master of the harem after all. According to the custom, Emperor Zhao must spend a few days in the queen's bedroom every month. That is to say, the chance of the queen conceiving is much greater than that of other concubines many.

However, Emperor Zhao and other concubines had children, but the empress's stomach remained silent for a long time, so that means that the problem lies with the empress?
"What's Ah Wan thinking?" Shen Chuhan looked down at her with a calm tone.

Song Qinghuan squinted her eyes and analyzed, "I guess the problem should be the queen. But——the queen has been pampered since she was a child, and she was trained as a queen candidate early on. How could she make mistakes in such a big issue?" In order to prevent the side When someone heard it, she moved closer to Shen Chuhan and lowered her voice.

In ancient times, the most important role for women, especially the young ladies of rich families, was to marry a good husband.Like the Xue family, a family of Zhongming Dingshi, the prostitute daughter of the family is a popular queen candidate, and she must have been treated with tonics since she was a child. The probability of this kind of infertility should be very rare. How could it be such a coincidence? It fell on the Queen's head?
"Ah Wan, have you ever thought about it..." Shen Chuhan turned his eyes and looked into the distance with indifferent eyes, with an incomprehensible light shining in his eyes, "Perhaps, the reason why the queen has been unable to conceive a dragon seed for a long time may not be congenital Physical reasons, but... man-made."

When it came to the privacy of the royal family, Shen Chuhan simply used the method of sound transmission to enter the secret.

Hearing this, Song Qinghuan frowned.

Artificial?

She knew that there were many disputes in the harem, and these concubines would do anything to fight for favor. Could it be that the reason why the queen couldn't conceive was because someone drugged her?
However, the queen is not an ordinary concubine. The Xue family has great influence in the court. What kind of person can reach out to the queen with such great powers?

If analyzed according to common sense, the most likely ones are the mothers and concubines of these adult princes.

Concubine Xiao is naturally impossible. Jun Che's mother and concubine Cheng Zhaoyi is too low-ranking to have the guts at all. Even if the queen has no children, the position of crown prince should not be up to Jun Che. So, the only possible candidate is Is it the concubine Shu Yue?
After all, if Jun Han is not dead, with the power of the Shu family, he is the one most likely to become the crown prince.

Blinking her long eyelashes, she guessed in the same way of sound transmission, "Ashu, could it be... Concubine De?" While speaking, he seemed to glance casually at Concubine De.

Concubine De's seat was arranged on the other side of Emperor Zhao, slightly lower than that of the Empress.She was wearing a misty palace dress, and she was quite depressed because of Jun Han's death, but her porcelain-white skin showed a somewhat fragile beauty.

She was exceptionally quiet at the palace banquet today, most of the time she just lowered her head, as if she didn't hear what was going on around her.Even when the incident between the queen and the little princess was so big, she only raised her head and glanced away, and quickly looked away without interest.

Song Qinghuan had no contact with Concubine De, so she had no understanding of her temperament.But in the previous life, because Shen Chuhan usurped Junhan's crown prince, Concubine De didn't like her, but most of the time, she didn't obviously target herself, and only occasionally echoed a word or two with the queen, which seemed to be prudent temper.

Would such a cautious person really take a huge risk to drug the queen?

After all, if this is found out, in order to give the Xue family an explanation, Emperor Zhao will definitely punish her and the Shu family severely. Then, all the painstaking efforts of the Shu family over the years will be in vain.

Such a desperate approach does not seem to be what she did.

Thinking of this, doubts arose in my heart.

But besides Concubine De, if the queen can't conceive, who else will benefit from it?

She looked at Shen Chuhan in puzzlement, but saw that his gaze was also on the top of her head, his eyes were dark, and seemed to have a bit of sarcasm.

Following his gaze, I realized that the direction he was looking at seemed to be Emperor Zhao and the Empress.

At this time, the imperial physician had treated the queen's wound, and retreated after saluting.The queen still had a gloomy face and her brows were tightly knitted, as if she was still trying to restrain the surging anger in her body.

After all, she was injured. Although Emperor Zhao had a lot of dissatisfaction with her and the Xue family recently, he had already lost face to her just now.Second, after all, there are so many pairs of eyes watching, the empress and the empress are in a stalemate, and it is not a glorious thing to spread the word.

Emperor Zhao was not a person who was arrogant, so he narrowed his eyes and looked at the queen, and said in a low voice, "Okay, don't be too angry, queen. Yijia's temper is indeed a bit rough, but she didn't mean it, I will turn around and let Wang Xisong Take the bottle of Yuji Ointment to your uterus, and after you apply it a few times, the scar will disappear."

Emperor Zhao said this very skillfully.

First of all, he comforted the queen "sincerely", and then admitted in a disguised form that what happened just now was indeed Princess Yijia's fault, so that the grievance in the queen's heart subsided.

Then he asked Wang Xi to give the queen jade muscle ointment to express his concern for her.You must know that Yuji Ointment is not an ordinary product, but a good medicine for removing scars and light marks, and there are not many in the entire palace.Emperor Zhao was willing to give a bottle to the queen, which naturally expressed his sincerity that he didn't want to make too much trouble.

The queen is also a smart person, since Emperor Zhao gave her a step down, how could she not cooperate?What's more, she really needs a bottle of jade muscle ointment, otherwise, if a scar is left on her face, wouldn't her proud appearance be completely ruined?
Taking a deep breath, he quickly withdrew the ferocious look on his face, looked up at Emperor Zhao, pursed his lips and pulled out a smile, "Thank you for the emperor's kindness. But the emperor misunderstood, and the minister was not angry just now, but his face The upper wound is a little painful, so the expression is more serious."

Emperor Zhao still doesn't understand her thoughts?
This excuse is really a bit weak.

However, he still has to act in order to cooperate with the acting, and he smiled, "Since that's the case, I'm relieved. The wound on your face needs to rest. I won't go to the Queen's Palace for a few days." , How about you rest for a few days."

The queen's smile faltered.

According to the rules, Emperor Zhao had to spend the night in her palace several times a month. Now that Emperor Zhao said this, he was clearly looking for an excuse not to go to her palace. How could the empress laugh?
Although she is in her thirties, she has never been able to accept the fact that she has no children.

For so many years, she has also seen the imperial doctor and taken the medicine. She has even sought out many doctors from the world, but there is no help at all.Even when Bian Dan was still alive, she had gone to seek medical advice, but all of them returned in vain.

Although the Biantan people are greedy, they claim to be the descendants of the ancient doctor Bian Que, and their medical skills are really good.

If even she can't do anything about the disease, what can other doctors do?

Over time, the queen was completely disappointed.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, her father sent someone to deliver a letter to the palace, saying that he had found another wandering doctor who was not well-known, but he was quite proficient in gynecological difficult diseases, and prescribed a medicine for her. It implies decoction.If she can have intercourse with Emperor Zhao in the past few days, the chance of conception may increase a lot.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhao told her that he would not go to her palace this month? !

How could this make her happy?

She opened her mouth, and was about to say something to express her disapproval, but Emperor Zhao waved her hand, blocking what she was going to say next, "This matter is settled like this, the queen has a good rest these few days."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Seeing that the matter had come to this point, the Empress had no choice but to respond embarrassingly.

Seeing that she and the Xue family have restrained a lot recently, Emperor Zhao suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.You know, the former empresses were not so easy to talk to, and every time they relied on the support of a strong mother's family, they turned the palace upside down.

She raised her lips, feeling happy, and took the initiative to hand her the quilt.

Song Qinghuan stared at the comings and goings of the two without blinking, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart. Was there any love between the two of them?
She knew that Emperor Zhao had always had a deep attachment to Concubine Xiao Gui, and had a deep affection for Concubine Xiao when he was the prince, but unfortunately, Concubine Xiao liked his elder brother, the former Emperor Zhao Wuchen.However, even though Concubine Xiao Gui had married Jun Wuchen, Emperor Zhao refused to give up, and actually usurped Jun Wuchen's position, and took Concubine Xiao Gui back as his own.

And he and the queen got married at this time.

Then, probably from the very beginning, there was only a purely political marriage between Emperor Zhao and the Empress.

However, Emperor Zhao already has Concubine Xiao in his heart, so maybe he won't fall in love with the queen anymore?What about the Queen?It is said that women are more likely to fall in love. Can the Empress and Emperor Zhao stay together day and night, can they really remain indifferent?Judging from her frantic persecution of Concubine Xiao Gui, she probably still has Emperor Zhao in her heart, but her arrogance as the daughter of the Xue family and the lord of the Central Palace does not allow her to show this affection on the surface.

Song Qinghuan thought about it wildly, and gradually became a little lost in thought.

"What is Ah Wan thinking about?"

Suddenly, Shen Chuhan's gentle voice rang in his ears.

Song Qinghuan came back to her senses, turned her head to look, and saw Shen Chuhan looking at her gently with loving eyes.

She smiled shyly, "Nothing? I was just wondering if there was any relationship between Emperor Zhao and the Empress."

Shen Chu coldly laughed, "He? The only person he likes the most is himself."

Song Qinghuan stared at him blankly, a little lost in thought.His outline was cold, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his whole body was so cold that there was no warmth at all, as if thinking of some unpleasant memory.

Song Qinghuan knew that he probably thought of Concubine Xiao Gui, so she couldn't say anything more, she pursed her lips and lowered her gaze.

At this time, an idea suddenly appeared in her mind, she suddenly raised her head, and looked at Emperor Zhao, with a look of shock in her eyes.

However, this gaffe was only for a moment, and he quickly turned his eyes again, and Emperor Zhao didn't notice the clue.

Sensing Song Qinghuan's strangeness, Shen Chuhan also came back to his senses, and said lightly, "What did Ah Wan think of?"

Song Qinghuan's long eyelashes trembled violently, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.Taking a deep breath, she looked at Shen Chuhan, and asked quietly, "Ashu, the person who really attacked the Queen, could it be...Could it be Emperor Zhao?"

She thought about it just now, although Concubine De is the most likely candidate, but this matter is too risky, with Concubine De's cautious temperament, it is unlikely that she will take risks and choose this path.Furthermore, the Empress and Concubine De have always been at odds, and anything related to her will definitely be carefully checked, Concubine De is not so easy to get her way.

But, what if that person is his pillow person?

Thinking about it carefully, if the empress is unable to conceive, it will benefit not only Concubine De, but also Emperor Zhao.

For one thing, Emperor Zhao was deeply in love with Concubine Xiao at that time, if the Empress was pregnant at this time, it would undoubtedly make him unable to deal with Concubine Xiao.Although Concubine Xiao didn't care about these things, just now Shen Chuhan also said that people like Emperor Zhao actually love him the most, so he must try every means to create an illusion of affection for himself in front of the lesser concubines.

Second, the Xue family played an important role in the process of Emperor Zhao's ascension to the throne. After Emperor Zhao succeeded to the throne, the power of the Xue family expanded, and the members of the Xue clan became more arrogant in the court. It is in danger, so he will never allow this to happen.

Three, the queen has a suspicious personality, no matter whether it is the concubine De or other concubines, it is very unlikely that she can get into the queen's body, except for Emperor Zhao, the queen has no defense against him.

The more Song Qinghuan thought about it, the more frightened she became, took a breath, and looked at Shen Chuhan blinking.

Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still wanted Shen Chuhan to affirm it himself.

Sure enough, Shen Chuhan nodded slowly, and Shen Liang's voice came to her ears through sound transmission, "Ah Wan guessed right, the reason why the queen can't conceive is indeed related to Emperor Zhao."

"You found it?" Song Qinghuan was surprised.

Shen Chuhan shook his head, a deep sense of loneliness appeared between his brows and eyes, Song Qinghuan's heart tightened, as if he had guessed something, he stretched out his hand to hold Shen Chuhan's hand.

"I overheard this incident."

heard?
Song Qinghuan frowned suspiciously, "Where did you hear that?"

"Emperor Zhao said it himself." Shen Chuhan said slowly, his voice was a little cold, "I heard Emperor Zhao tell my concubine mother. At that time, Emperor Zhao came to find concubine mother. I was worried that he would hurt concubine mother, so I hid secretly in the corner Don’t let Zhaodi feel it. I heard Zhaodi tell his mother that he poisoned the queen with a face full of credit. The poison was put in the queen’s pillow. The queen’s pillow rested in the spices that were supposed to help people sleep. It is mixed with a lot of musk, and the queen smells it every day, so it's no wonder she can get pregnant."

The more he talked about it, the colder Shen Chuhan's voice became, he was very disdainful of Emperor Zhao's despicable behavior.

The medicine that makes people unable to conceive is actually placed in the pillow that the queen sleeps on every night!
Hearing the truth, Song Qinghuan was even more surprised, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Emperor Zhao is indeed a ruthless character, ruthless and ambitious. He will be one of the biggest obstacles for Shen Chuhan to achieve his great cause even if he lives in this world.

Shen Chuhan squeezed her fingers, signaling her not to think too much.

Only then did Song Qinghuan withdraw her thoughts, drinking the tea in the cup thoughtfully.

the other compartment.

Jun Wan stared at Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan for a while, and finally looked away, his eyes were full of bitterness.

The appearance of the two of them singing in harmony is really an eyesore, and even the palace banquet has become boring, feeling like sitting on pins and needles for a while, wishing to sneak out of the palace immediately.

After sitting restlessly for a while, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she quietly got up.

"Where is Yunhe going?" Xue Yuqing who was on the side heard the movement, turned her head back and forth, with a look of curiosity and longing.

Jun Wan knew that she wanted to go out with her, but she was in a bad mood right now and didn't have time to spend her time on her, so she said coolly, "I'm going to change clothes."

She said it was changing clothes, but Xue Yuqing also knew that she was actually going to Gong's room.

Hearing the indifference in Jun Wan's words, Xue Yuqing shut her mouth wisely and didn't ask any more questions.

Jun Wan quietly exited the Jinrong Hall.

Outside the hall, although the cold wind was blowing on her face, Jun Wan still felt refreshed. She went down the steps and walked towards the imperial garden, wanting to walk around to get some fresh air.

The Royal Garden is not far from the Jinrong Hall, and we arrived in a short while.

Now it's autumn, and the autumn chrysanthemums in the imperial garden are in full bloom. Looking at Huanxi, Junwan stopped to admire the various precious chrysanthemum varieties.

She has always liked flowers and plants, and seeing so many treasures at this moment, she suddenly became overwhelmed and bent over, looking here and there.

After watching for a while, I felt some pain in my waist, so I straightened my waist, and just about to exercise my muscles and bones, I saw a figure flashing past in front of me.

Seeing the sneaky look of that figure, Jun Wan couldn't help frowning.

Just waiting for a closer look, the figure came closer.

After seeing the face of the visitor, Jun Wan frowned even tighter, how could it be him?Why did he appear here at this time?
