Under the cover of night, a cry rang out.

"Everyone can give birth, why can't I?"

The crisp and strong sour taste filled her entire mouth. Thinking of what she had seen today, Concubine Hua missed her son so much that she used pickles to induce vomiting in the hope of causing morning sickness.

When Songzhi knelt down and begged her not to hurt herself anymore, she woke up from her fantasy and asked desperately with tears in her eyes.

After this cry, Concubine Hua put her hand on her belly again, rubbing it back and forth, and said sadly: "I once had a boy."

Then he gritted his teeth, his eyes were stern, and his eyes were full of hatred: "It's all her."

In Yanqing Palace, Jixiang watched Concubine Duan drink the medicine in one gulp. He could no longer hold back his doubts and asked, "Your Majesty, you have stopped taking this prescription for a long time, why are you drinking it again?"

What Concubine Duan is drinking now is the second prescription that An Lingrong gave her. It can nourish the internal organs, but some of the medicinal ingredients in it make people look ugly, which can be used to conceal her true physical condition.

Concubine Duan gently wiped the medicine from her lips with a handkerchief and slowly spoke: "Jixiang, she is in power again. Besides, I wish I could stay away from the smoke of war in the palace."

Jixiang said distressedly: "My lady, I am sorry for that."

The bitter taste in her mouth was still there, and Concubine Duan's eyes were full of bitterness: "She is so powerful now that even the Queen is enduring it. My little bit is nothing."

Just as Jixiang was about to say something else, Zhou Ninghai's sharp voice came from outside the palace: "Empress Hua has arrived."

He came to cause trouble again, and Jixiang said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I'll go and take a look." Then he ran to the outer hall.

Concubine Duan first heard Jixiang's weak voice to stop him, and then heard a heavy fall to the ground. She sat up straight on the bed and looked out.

Hua Fei walked in angrily. When she saw Concubine Duan's calm appearance, the rage in her eyes rose even more. In the past, she used this peaceful appearance to trick herself into drinking the abortion pill. The more she thought about it, the more ruthless she became. She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to slap Concubine Duan in the face.

Hua Fei's force was so great that Concubine Duan was knocked off balance by her slap, but she sat up straight immediately. In the past, when Hua Fei broke into her palace to make trouble, she would argue with her, but today she didn't want to say anything. She wanted to watch her being blinded by false hatred and continue to pray for a child with hope, and watch her relying on the emperor's calculated favor to continue to show off her power in the palace. She would wait, and when the Nian family was about to collapse, she would uncover the truth one by one. There was nothing more gratifying than seeing her enemy collapse with her own eyes.

Concubine Duan just looked at Concubine Hua without saying a word. Her lack of resistance made Concubine Hua hate her even more. She hysterically denounced Concubine Duan's cruelty, and even cursed Concubine Duan to grow old in the palace without any children or grandchildren. After scolding for a while, she was finally tired and left a sentence hatefully: "You still have a long time in the palace, you just have to endure it slowly in my hand." Then she left.

After Hua Fei's men left, Jixiang regained her freedom. She hurried into the bedroom and saw the palm print on Duan Fei's face. She burst into tears and said, "My queen, you have been wronged."

Concubine Duan gently wiped away Jixiang's tears: "These are worthless. She is right. I still have a long time in the palace. I can afford to wait."

Jixiang looked at Concubine Duan's gentle eyes and said what he had been thinking for a long time: "Your Majesty, now that Concubine Wen is no longer out and about, you have no help in the palace. Concubine Wan has come to see you twice, but you have avoided her. When she comes next time, do you want to see her?"

Concubine Duan shook her head slightly, "Jixiang, I wanted to find someone before because I was hindered by my health. I was afraid that I would not be able to wait until that day. Now I want to take revenge myself. This is the only way to relieve my hatred for many years. Concubine Wen has given me a new life. Now she is hurt. Let's not rush her and let her get over it slowly. As for Concubine Wan, she is pregnant now. The emperor loves her and will definitely promote her. She will be very successful in the future. We just need to respect her."

Jixiang felt very guilty about these words. Wenpin cured the queen, and she was very grateful. But tonight, Hua Fei came to humiliate the queen again. She thought it was always good to have more helpers, but she almost made the queen bear the reputation of being ungrateful. So she knelt down and admitted her mistake: "My queen, I was short-sighted."

"You are also worried about me, so there is no need to say this again." Concubine Duan pulled her up and told her the details of what happened in the palace before she fell asleep.

In the Sui Yu Xuan, Shen Meizhuang ordered the palace servants around, and everyone surrounded Zhen Huan and served her very attentively. Such carefulness made Zhen Huan not very accustomed for a while:

"Don't be so busy. You're not that delicate."

Shen Meizhuang saw that she had something to say to her, and hurriedly asked the palace servants to disperse: "You are the most delicate one in pregnancy, you have the final say, you all go out."

After all the palace maids left, the smile on Zhen Huan's face faded: "Sister Mei, I'm scared."

Shen Meizhuang also looked solemn: "Are you worried about what Concubine Hua said today?"

Zhen Huan's eyes were filled with worry: "Not only Concubine Hua, I can't see through the hearts of people in this palace. I'm afraid I can't protect this child."

Shen Meizhuang thought about the many miscarriages in the palace and had similar concerns in her heart. However, she felt more at ease when she thought about the Queen's arrangement. "The Queen is willing to ask the Emperor for Aunt Fangruo for you. I think she values ​​Aunt Fangruo's ability. I heard that she was in charge of teaching the ladies in the harem during the reign of Emperor Kangxi. Later, she went to the Qiandi Palace to take care of Empress Chunyuan. Now she is also a person in front of the emperor. Your pregnancy is safer with her taking care of it."

Zhen Huan nodded: "Aunt Fangruo was very careful when she taught me. I am relieved that she can come, but we also have to be careful. I am still afraid when I think of Concubine Yi."

Shen Meizhuang thought for a moment and said, "Huan'er, don't worry too much during pregnancy. Why don't I call Doctor Wen back and have him help Doctor Zhang take care of you together?"

Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meizhuang's still pale lips and shook her head to refuse: "Sister Mei, you are not fully recovered yet. Doctor Zhang is the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital, so his medical skills are naturally excellent. He is also following the Queen's decree to take care of me. It is not good to let Doctor Wen come now."

Shen Meizhuang thought about it and realized that if she did that, she would offend two people at once, so she could only explain other details.

Ten days later, the emperor came back exhausted and went straight to Sui Yuxuan as soon as he got back to the palace.

At this time, Zhen Huan was sleeping soundly on the bed, and the emperor was sitting beside the bed, looking at her sleeping face carefully.

She has a child, it’s his and her child. I wonder if he will look like her or him after he is born?

The emperor's eyes were lingering and affectionate, as if he was looking at Zhen Huan, but also as if he was looking at an old friend.

It was a good thing that this child came. The pain of losing his son in the first month of the year was beyond words. The arrival of this child was a great gift from God to him.

He has already thought about how to educate her if it is a boy, and how to love her well if it is a girl.

As for the child's mother, he would make her a concubine, and after she gave birth to a son, he would make her a consort.

In the future, she and the child will be with me, and what I lost in those years will eventually come back.

He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice Zhen Huan waking up.
