With the system traveling through time, the queen always becomes a mother painlessly

Zhao Xuelian raised her eyes and asked in a somewhat disappointed tone: "Madam, don't you like this red coral bonsai?"

Nan Yan did not answer, but asked the system in her mind, "Tongzi, can you absorb the medicinal properties of this red coral?"

Although she didn't mind smelling it, there were so many maids in the palace, and they might get married and have children in the future, so she couldn't smell it too much.

[Later, if the host touches the red coral, I can absorb the medicinal properties. ]

Nan Yan looked at Zhao Xuelian, a smile appeared on her lips, and then she said: "This basin of red coral is so beautiful, how could I not like it? This red color looks festive. Yinling, bring it over to me for a look."

Yinling took the red coral bonsai from Xiang'er and brought it to Nanyan.

Nan Yan reached out and touched it, looking like she liked it very much.

[Host, the medicinal properties have all been absorbed. ]

After the system finished speaking, Nan Yan withdrew her hand.

"This basin of red coral is really good. I like it very much. From now on, this basin of red coral will be placed in the palace."

Nan Yan signaled Yin Ling to put the red coral on the table.

A faint light flashed across Zhao Xuelian's eyes. Looking at the red coral in Yin Ling's arms, she smiled unconsciously, "As long as the queen likes it."

"Concubine Lian is pregnant. Stop standing and sit down!"

Zhao Xuelian’s body stiffened. How did Nan Yan know that she was pregnant?

She married Shang Yuan because he could return to Beijing and take her to meet her cousin.

How could she be pregnant? She was just trying to force her father to agree to let her marry Shang Yue.

Nan Yan knew about it, did her cousin know about it too? Zhao Xuelian's heart couldn't help but sink.

"Thank you, Queen, for the seat."

She walked over to a chair nearby and sat down.

Zhao Xuelian had achieved her purpose of coming today. After sitting for a while, she said goodbye, "Your Majesty, I still have to visit my aunt, so I'll take my leave first."

She left Changle Palace and went to Cining Palace to visit the empress dowager.

Shang Yue came to Changle Palace for lunch at noon. Seeing the red coral in the Nanyan Palace, he asked in confusion, "Yan'er, where did this red coral come from?"

He seemed to remember that Yan'er didn't have any red coral bonsai.

Nan Yan glanced at Hong Shanhu and said, "It was given by Prince Chen's concubine."

"Zhao Xuelian?"

Nan Yan nodded.

Shang Yue's brows suddenly frowned.

Zhao Xuelian had treated Yan'er like that before, and what's more, she looked at Yan'er with such vicious eyes on the night of the New Year's Eve dinner. How could she be so kind as to give Yan'er such a precious red coral?

The man frowned and said softly, "Yan'er, this pot of red coral doesn't look good. I have a better-looking one in my warehouse. If you like it, put this one in the warehouse and I'll have someone bring the other one over here."

He was about to call Wang Dequan, but Nan Yan grabbed him.

"Ayue, I just like this basin of red coral. If you are worried, ask Doctor Wu to come and check if there is any problem with this basin of coral."

Seeing that Nan Yan insisted, Shang Yue called Doctor Wu to check the coral. After confirming that there was no problem, he allowed Nan Yan to place the coral in the hall.

the other side.

As soon as Zhao Xuelian saw the Queen Mother, she began to cry and repent, confessing that she had done many wrong things and now she had figured it out.

The Queen Mother has completely seen through this niece. If she really knew she was wrong, she would not have gotten involved with Prince Chen after going to Ganzhou, and she would not have done such things to force her brother to agree to her marrying Prince Chen.

But after all, she was a niece who had grown up in her care, so she didn't say it in detail.

"Xue Lian, stop crying and get up! You are still pregnant. It will not be good for the baby if you continue crying like this."

The empress dowager glanced at the palace maid beside her, and the maid immediately understood and helped Zhao Xuelian up.

When Zhao Xuelian heard the Queen Mother's concern, she thought that she had forgiven her. She stood up as the palace maid helped her, and said with a smile through her tears, "Aunt, Xuelian knows that you love me very much."

The Queen Mother curled her lips and said nothing.

Zhao Xuelian didn't care either. She knew that what she had done had caused the Queen Mother to dislike her, and she would not treat her the same way as before for a while.

As long as she worked hard, she believed her aunt would treat her as before.

In the next few days, Zhao Xuelian would go to the palace to see the empress dowager every day, talk to her and chat about interesting things in Ganzhou.

The Empress Dowager grew up in Ganzhou as a child and had not been there for thirty years. She was very interested in what Zhao Xuelian said, so she allowed her to come to the palace every day.

Over at Prince Chen's mansion, Prince Chen also allowed Zhao Xuelian to enter the palace every day.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.

That day, Zhao Xuelian walked to the Cining Palace, holding the empress dowager's hand, her face full of worry, "Aunt, I just came from my cousin's wife. When I left, my cousin's wife said that her stomach hurt a little, and I don't know what happened? My cousin's belly is so big, will something happen?"

"What? Yan'er has a stomachache?" The empress dowager raised her voice nervously, stood up suddenly, and her face changed drastically.

Yan'er's belly is almost eight months old and has been fine. Why is she starting to have stomachache now?

She hurriedly said to Nanny Wang beside her, "Quick, take me to Changle Palace."

Nanny Wang also became anxious. She ordered people to prepare the sedan chair and followed the empress dowager to Changle Palace in a hurry.

Zhao Xuelian stood in the hall, looking at their backs, an inexplicable smile gradually appearing on her face.

at the same time.

Imperial study, Wang Dequan walked into the imperial study in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Cining Palace that the Empress had just arrived at the Cining Palace and suddenly had a stomachache. The Queen Mother arranged for the Empress to stay in the side hall and has sent someone to call the imperial physician. The Queen Mother asked Your Majesty to go there quickly."

Shang Yue's face suddenly changed. He immediately threw down the memorial in his hand, stood up, strode out of the imperial study, and used his light skills to head towards the direction of the Cining Palace.

The palace maids in the Cining Palace saw the emperor coming in in a hurry and had no time to greet him. They saw him passing by like a gust of wind, pushing open the door of the side hall and striding in.

The side hall was empty.

Shang Yue's brows suddenly frowned.

creak!

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

Shang Yue turned around and saw Zhao Xuelian at the door closing it from the inside.

His eyes darkened, and he looked at Zhao Xuelian and said coldly, "Did you ask someone to trick me into coming here?"

Zhao Xuelian looked at Shang Yue with an expression of undisguised affection on her face. She smiled gently and nodded, "Cousin, I asked someone to call you here. I just want to see you alone."

Her eyes were completely replaced by madness.

Shang Yue had a cold face and didn't want to say anything more. He raised his foot and wanted to leave.

"Cousin, don't you feel anything unusual?"

Shang Yue's eyes suddenly turned gloomy. He felt a fire burning inside him, quickly sweeping through his body, and an abnormal blush quickly rose on his face.

"Cousin, I have done so much, sacrificed so much, all for you. After today, I will be able to be with you."

Zhao Xuelian's face was full of madness, and she walked towards Shang Yue step by step with a smile.

Just as they were about to catch Shang Yue, he dodged and his body swayed as he was a little dazed.

She missed it.

Zhao Xuelian's face darkened at first, then she smiled and said, "Cousin, this is a strong aphrodisiac I found. Once you get infected, you will lose your mind very quickly."
