Chapter 139 The Queen's Beloved 4
Chapter 139 The Queen's Beloved 4
The good news from Concubine Wan soon came from the harem. Concubine Wan was pregnant.
Concubine Wan is the daughter of the Minister of Personnel. She is 16 years old this year. She is in her prime and has been pregnant after only two favors. She is very fertile.
Because it was the emperor's first child, the emperor directly promoted Wan Guiren to Wanpin and granted her the right to live in the main hall of Yilan Palace.
Zhang Xintong rewarded Wanpin with many things, praised her generously, and taught the concubines to expand the royal family.
The person who was most angry about Wanpin's pregnancy was Concubine Lian. She really couldn't control herself and smashed the ornaments in Yunguang Hall. Yunguang Hall was Concubine Lian's palace.
When the emperor arrived at Yunguang Hall at night, the hall had been completely renovated. Concubine Lian leaned on the emperor and cried.
"Your Majesty, I am in a bad mood."
"What's wrong with my beloved concubine?"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what you promised me?"
The emperor looked unhappy. What did Concubine Lian want to do? Did she want the secret guards to go to the concubines? After trying various women, the emperor was no longer willing to be with Concubine Lian alone.
Seeing the emperor's unhappy expression, Concubine Lian hurriedly explained
"Your Majesty, you said that you would let our son inherit the throne."
When the emperor heard about this, his expression softened.
"Don't worry! Our children are different."
Concubine Lian hooked the emperor, she wanted to get pregnant quickly and give birth to a child as soon as possible so that she could be more secure.
Concubine Lian's bed skills are first-rate, otherwise she would not have captured the emperor's heart in her previous life
The sounds in the Yunguang Hall came one after another
Good news came from the harem one after another. Although there was no promotion in rank this time, the pregnant concubines all received rewards from the emperor and the empress.
Concubine Lian is about to explode with rage. Why are so many people pregnant, but she has not made any move at all? She is obviously the most favored.
What Concubine Lian didn't know was that when she first massaged Zhang Xintong's shoulders, Zhang Xintong drugged her and she would never have her own children in her life.
In the previous life, except for her, what kind of life did all the concubines in the harem live? How could Zhang Xintong let her have her way? She cut off her escape route on the first day they met.
The emperor was very happy to see so many pregnant women, as this proved that he was capable and that the royal family valued having offspring, so the more children the better.
The days in the harem were boring. There was no place to go. Zhang Xintong's internal force martial arts had already become a little successful. She could knock down ordinary guards, but not Gu Yan.
If she wants to defeat Gu Yan, Zhang Xintong needs to practice for another year or two. By that time, their child should be born.
It was really boring, so Zhang Xintong held a lotus viewing banquet, calling all the concubines who were favored by the emperor in the palace, and also the wives of various ministers to the palace, under the pretext of building relationships, but in fact they just wanted to watch the fun.
Zhang Xintong is sitting on the upper hand in a bright red palace dress. It is not an exaggeration to describe her as beautiful and generous.
The palace maids placed fruits, cakes and tea in front of each concubine and lady.
"There have been many happy events in the palace recently. I am very happy. The lotus flowers are in full bloom. I invite everyone to come and see them."
"Congratulations, Her Majesty the Queen. Congratulations, Her Majesty the Queen. We would also like to share in the joy."
Zhang Xintong waved her hand
“Everyone is welcome to watch freely.”
"Thank you, Queen"
Zhang Xintong leaned on the chair and let everyone play freely
Zhang Xintong has been here for half a year and has gathered some people. A few days ago, there was news that Concubine Lian was going to take action.
Zhang Xintong wanted to see if Concubine Lian dared to take action here. If she did, she could implement her plan.
Concubine Lian didn't want to deal with Xiao Xiami, she only wanted to deal with Wanpin. Wanpin's father was the Minister of Personnel, and she looked pure and lovely. She was pregnant with the emperor's first child. If she gave birth to the child smoothly, it would definitely threaten Concubine Lian's position.
Others are too low-ranking and have no prominent family background to threaten Concubine Lian. She kills two birds with one stone by getting rid of Concubine Wan's child and framing the Queen.
Not long after, news came that Wanpin had fallen into the water, and Zhang Xintong sent a nanny who was good at swimming to rescue her.
After rescuing him, he quickly sought medical treatment from the imperial physician. Zhang Xintong then sent someone to inform the emperor.
The imperial physician reported the situation truthfully after taking the pulse
"Your Majesty, the child cannot be kept. Concubine Wan will also suffer from chronic illness in the future."
"Doctor, please take a closer look. Wanpin just fell into the water. It's not that serious."
"Your Majesty, I have looked very carefully."
Zhang Xintong took out a porcelain bottle from her arms and gave it to the doctor.
"This is the life-saving medicine my mother left me. Doctor, please check it. If it's ok, give it to Concubine Wan. This is your majesty's first child, and we must save her."
The doctor poured out the medicine and smelled it, his eyes full of surprise.
"Empress, this medicine is very precious. If Concubine Wan takes it, she can save the child."
"Then feed her quickly and make sure to save His Majesty's child."
The emperor watched everything from the palace gate.
After the doctor fed the medicine to Wanpin, Wanpin was out of danger after a while.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is no longer seriously injured. I have a favor to ask. Your Majesty, do you still have this medicine? Could you give me one for research?"
"No more, my mother only left me one"
It's a pity for the imperial physician. If it weren't for the urgent situation of Wanpin, he would have studied it.
At this time, the emperor finally walked into the room
"How is Concubine Wan?"
The imperial physician replied
"Your Majesty, with the Queen's medicine, Concubine Wan is fine now."
"Okay, please step back."
Zhang Xintong looked a little frightened, and the emperor put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her.
"It's okay, don't be afraid"
Seeing that Concubine Wan was fine, the emperor and Zhang Xintong walked outside the palace. There were many people waiting outside. None of the people who came to the lotus viewing banquet today left.
The emperor called the eunuch in charge
"How was the check?"
"Your Majesty, we found a palace maid and she said that the Empress ordered her to do this."
If Zhang Xintong hadn't just taken out the life-saving medicine to save Wanpin, the emperor would have believed this result.
The emperor shouted into the air
"Shadow One"
When Ying Yi appeared with a mask on, Zhang Xintong's heart trembled. It was the first time she saw him in the daytime.
Zhang Xintong did not show any abnormality. The emperor said to Ying
"Go and find out about this."
Yingyi came back half an hour later and handed the result to the emperor.
The emperor was silent for a long time after reading it, and finally said to Zhang Xintong
"Princess Wan fell into the lotus pond by herself. It has nothing to do with you."
And said to the people who came today
"Princess Wan accidentally fell into the lotus pond. Everyone, go back. Everything is fine now."
Zhang Xintong did not ask any more questions and returned to her palace.
"Tongtong, the emperor's regret value has reached 65, and there are 15 more to complete this task."
"I understand, Xiao 9, what is the result the emperor got?"
"It was Concubine Lian who did it. Not only did she push Concubine Wan into the lotus pond, she also drugged her to ensure that she couldn't give birth to a child."
"okay, got it"
The emperor now regretted that the prime minister had helped him become emperor and married his daughter to her.
The queen was devoted to him, and the harem was well managed by the queen. She was even willing to take out her only life-saving medicine to treat the children of other concubines, just to save his first child.
