After the decree to confer the title of consort was announced, all the royal family members and ministers who were originally dissatisfied with the emperor's ascension to the throne shut up.

After thinking about it, the emperor realized that the high position of the concubine in the harem was vacant. The ministers had hope and naturally stopped making trouble for the emperor.

Thinking back to when he wanted to confer titles on three concubines of the Han Army Banner, if the Queen hadn't stopped him, there would probably have been a turmoil in the court for a while.

Then he thought of the attitudes of several military officers, which had obviously softened a lot.

In the past, the emperor forcibly seized Rouze, the fiancée of General Fuyuan, which chilled the hearts of many military officers, and even Nian Gengyao was wavering in the fight for the throne.

The emperor was also in a dilemma as to what to do about the empress punishing Concubine Hua.

In his previous life, the emperor would have summoned the queen, scolded her, and then taken away her power.

And the most important reason was that the emperor had a premonition that if he did this, something bad might happen.

The emperor touched his stomach unconsciously, feeling a little worried.

Before the emperor could think it over, Su Peisheng stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, Concubine Hua requests an audience."

Hearing this, the emperor touched his belly again and said, "Just say I'm busy and go to Yikun Palace to see her in the evening."

Su Peisheng quickly glanced at the emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to summon the imperial physician?"

The emperor frowned and glanced at Su Peisheng: "No, go down."

When Concubine Hua Nian Shilan heard Su Peisheng's message, she was so angry that she almost fainted again.

Nian Shilan originally wanted to cry and beg outside the Yangxin Palace, but at this time Zhu Xi, who was beside the empress dowager, came over.

After Zhu Xi paid his respects to Nian Shilan, he stood aside waiting for the emperor to summon him.

Nian Shilan covered her face and said to Songzhi, "Go back to Yikun Palace."

Zhuxi looked at Nian Shilan's receding back and sighed softly.

The emperor met Zhuxi, who relayed the empress dowager's words: "The empress has just entered the palace, so it is inevitable that she is a little anxious because there are many things to do. Please be considerate of me, after all, husband and wife are of one mind."

The emperor nodded, indicating that he understood, and asked Su Peisheng to escort Zhuxi out of the palace.

Huapin waited all night but the emperor did not come. She fell ill due to the pain in her knees and the shame and anger in her heart.

After the previous dynasty learned about this, the military officers thought it was a signal from the emperor. They thought the emperor wanted to use them, so they began to suppress Nian Gengyao, and all the military officers took action.

There were a few imperial censors among the civil officials who complained that the empress was unkind and treated the concubines badly. However, with the influence of the empress dowager, these voices were drowned out.

Yixiu waited in Jingren Palace until dark, but did not receive the emperor's order. She was too lazy to care about it and went to bed early.

When the concubines came to pay their respects the next day, Yixiu heard the news that Concubine Hua had fallen ill.

Yixiu called the imperial physician over to question him, told him to treat the patient well, and then let everyone go.

Seeing that the concubines in the harem were more respectful than yesterday, Yixiu felt happy.

He also asked the imperial physicians to take the pulses of the concubines, and established a rule that from now on, when taking the pulses of the concubines, the imperial physician must be present in pairs.

The imperial physician diagnosed on the spot that the two were pregnant, one was Concubine Fang and the other was Cao Qinmo.

Concubine Fang was favored by her opera singing skills in the past, and now that she is pregnant, she wants to be a little arrogant. However, seeing how cruel the queen is to Concubine Hua, she dare not act recklessly.

Cao Qinmo had noticed something strange about Concubine Fang yesterday. Now her guess had been confirmed. She lowered her head so that others wouldn't see the cruelty in her eyes.

Yixiu doesn't care whether these children can be born or whether they can grow up after being born.

She will never harm the children of concubines again in this life, and Yixiu is ready to solve the problem from the root.

But she was still hesitant for a moment, whether to make the emperor unable to give birth or to make him impotent.
