Concubine Rebirth: Your Highness, I am sick

Chapter 159 Imprisonment
Haitang took a deep breath, summoned up her courage, stood up silently, and stood up straight.

The Empress Dowager's eyes became sharper.She hadn't signaled yet, but this woman dared to get up on her own initiative.

The dissatisfaction in the queen mother's heart naturally does not need to be expressed by herself.A nun next to her said to Haitang in disgust: "The side concubine is too rude, did the queen mother tell you to get up?"

How can you earn such attention if you ask to get up again?Most importantly: can you bark?
Haitang didn't argue with the nanny, she went straight to the Empress Dowager, folded her hands and lowered her eyebrows: "Empress Dowager, this concubine can't attract the sun or the moon, but, Empress Dowager, you can't torture this concubine."

When will it be the turn of a side concubine of the palace to give advice on what the queen mother wants to do?The queen mother couldn't help narrowing her eyes, and there was a trace of mockery in her tone: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"The Empress Dowager cannot torture concubines." Haitang said it so clearly that everyone present was dumbfounded.

Qin Yan was the first to worry, isn't this courting death? "Begonia!" He stopped the sound.

But Haitang stood upright.Her small body is just like last July [-]th, when she stood upright under the scorching sun, the universe roared and the stars moved in an instant.

In the silence of the world, she finally spoke: "I am pregnant with His Royal Highness Mu Wang's child."

Haitang's tone was extremely calm, but it shocked everyone present.

"Article 140 of the "Da Liang Law", all offenders above the Marquis, who are pregnant, shall not be punished, and the case can only be heard and closed after the childbirth is over."

For a while, the hall was silent.No one thought that the side concubine Mu Wang would suddenly say that she was pregnant at this time, and what was even more unexpected was that she actually sacrificed "The Law of Great Liang".

Of course there is this article in the "Da Liang Law", but no one can be sure whether it is Article 140 or not.

Haitang bluffed everyone on the spot.

Qin Yan was the first to react.

"Haitang, you have a baby?" Qin Yan rushed over, ignoring the eyes of everyone, overjoyed.

After many days of worry and anxiety, the two seemed to be reunited after life and death, and finally had skin-to-skin contact again. Qin Yan hugged Haitang tightly in his arms.

Haitang is not a strong person at all.All her strength can only last for a moment, as long as Qin Yan comes, she is the most vulnerable woman.

She snuggled into Qin Yan's arms and cried loudly: "Your Highness, I thought I would never see you again, I... I thought I would never see you again."

Qin Yan's nose was sore from her crying.For so many days, he experienced rapid changes in the palace, and he wanted to say countless things to Haitang, but he couldn't say a word, so he stroked Haitang's shoulder over and over again, choked up and said: "Haitang, do you have a child?"

Haitang nodded desperately: "When you left, I kept throwing up. I thought it was carriage sickness, but I didn't get better after vomiting for several days. It was the nurse from Huimin Pharmacy who took my pulse."

"It's okay, it's okay now." Qin Yan wiped away tears for her distressedly, "We have a baby, we should be happy, don't cry."

"Your Highness, even if I die myself, I still want to protect our child." She looked up at Qin Yan pitifully.

This is what she has in mind.It's not that she hasn't died before, she is willing to abandon everything, and accompany Qin Yan through life and death, betting on this earned life.

She didn't want to die, but she wasn't afraid of it either.However, now that she has Qin Yan's flesh and blood, she must live on for this baby.

"Don't worry, I will protect you and him as well." Qin Yan comforted.

The Queen Mother frowned.

Qin Yan is going to have another heir, of course she is happy to see it.However, it's really outrageous to talk about mother-in-law and mother-in-law like this in front of everyone.

The queen mother can't understand it.

Here, after comforting Haitang, Qin Yan spoke sincerely to the queen mother and queen: "Since it is inconvenient for her to accept the trial for a while, my son will send her back to the palace to settle down for the time being. After the childbirth is over, how about going to the emperor's grandmother and queen mother to accept the crime?"

What a beautiful idea!
The queen mother glanced at Haitang's stomach, but there was no sign of it.Even if she is pregnant, it is still far away until the birth is completed.Times have changed, and it will be even more difficult to catch her into the palace again.

Although you are pregnant, you are still the main suspect.How could the Queen Mother let you go?
Empress Yin, who had lost her son, couldn't see the Queen Mother's attitude. She was afraid that she would let the "heinous" Cui Haitang go if she softened, and said anxiously: "Mother, you can't let the tiger go back to the mountain!"

Why doesn't the queen mother feel sorry for the queen.The queen mother has always been a staunch supporter of the prince. If she hadn't always been clear-cut over the years, the prince's position might not only be in jeopardy, but would have been replaced by King Qing long ago.

Now that the prince passed away suddenly, Empress Yin couldn't accept it. Could it be that her queen mother could face it calmly?How can she bear her heartache and her despair?

What's more, what she lost was not only a grandson, but also a son who was unable to govern on the sick bed—Emperor Zhengheng.

The queen mother endured the sadness for a while.She must not cry in front of people.She took a deep look at Empress Yin, and said as if promising: "Don't worry, the Ai family will not let anyone who tries to destroy Daliang's foundation be spared."

"Although the "Da Liang Law" can temporarily protect Cui's life, it does not say that he cannot be imprisoned. Cui's intentions and motives are unknown, and he prevented King Mu from entering the capital. Although he was not the murderer who directly killed the prince, he was also suspected of being an accomplice. People, take Cui Shi back to Yuming Hall and imprison him!"

"Grandma..."

Qin Yan wanted to fight, but the Queen Mother treated him coldly.

"The Ai family has made concessions, is Yan'er planning to be aggressive?"

One move was to retreat as an advance, and Qin Yan's mouth was immediately blocked.

The Empress Dowager could see through Qin Yan's thoughts, with a stern face, she said in a deep voice, "If you want Cui Shi to give birth safely, you'd better not make any plans to get her out."

Qin Yan was speechless.No matter how much he felt sorry for Haitang, he couldn't beat the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager is now the spiritual support of the palace, and Qin Yan doesn't want anything to happen to the imperial grandmother.

Seeing that she had finally restrained Qin Yan, the queen mother turned her head to Haitang again, condescending: "Go to Yuming Palace and reflect on yourself. It's best that you figure it out yourself and tell the Ai family the truth. There are ways to make your life worse than death."

Haitang couldn't help but shudder, she believed that the queen mother had such means.She wanted to kill herself, it was like crushing an ant.

Rather than saying that the queen mother spared her life today, it is better to say that it is a suspended sentence.But in her current situation, she really needs this "respite". As long as she can get over this breath, she believes that with Qin Yan's future status, she will be able to help herself out of danger.

She doesn't have the "truth" that the Queen Mother wants. Her "truth" is a sincere heart, and she just wants Qin Yan not to hurt a single bit of his heart.
