Quick Travel: The Long Road to Resurrection

Not only was Qingying ignored by the Emperor on her birthday, she was also punished by the Empress Dowager.

In the end, Qingying achieved her goal and the emperor posthumously conferred the title of Grand Concubine on Li.

one day

On the way to pay her respects to the empress, the imperial concubine was hit by a bridge. The jade hairpin that the emperor had just awarded her fell and broke into pieces. Before she could make a move, the people carrying the sedan chair did not even stop but kept walking.

For a moment, the imperial concubine was angry and anxious. It was not until she arrived at the Queen's palace that she found out that it was Mei who did it.

Before she could ask for apology, Mei Ying slowly said, "I was reckless just now. I apologize to the imperial concubine."

Gao Xiyue glanced at her and said, "Now you know you bumped into me, why did you run away like the wind just now?"

Mei did not even look at the Imperial Concubine, but only said to the Queen: "I should have stopped to apologize to the Imperial Concubine, but there is something important that I have to report to the Queen first."

Then he said to the imperial concubine in a haughty manner: "I'm sorry, imperial concubine, I broke the jade hairpin that the emperor gave me. There are many in Yonghe Palace. You can pick a few at will from the concubine's palace."

The imperial concubine became anxious when she heard this. This Bai was so rude. She dared to disobey her, the imperial concubine, for just a promise. She was not very beautiful and her skills in playing the pipa were not good. She didn't know why the emperor liked her.

"How dare you! You offended me with a small promise, and instead of bowing and apologizing, you are still talking nonsense."

Bai Ruiji ignored the imperial concubine. She already had a talisman and was pregnant with a baby. So what if she offended the imperial concubine? It was because she always looked down on her, insulted her time and again, and didn't allow her to give her even a penny in return.

She stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I felt uncomfortable in my stomach last night, so I asked the imperial physician to see me. He said that I am pregnant."

Concubine Jia thought that she hadn't gotten pregnant yet, but a new woman got pregnant first. She blurted out, "So fast!"

Mei was extremely proud and shook her head, saying, "This is not too fast. After all, I have been serving the emperor for half a year. If I can't get pregnant, it must be my bad luck."

"Since Mei is pregnant, please sit down if you feel uncomfortable in your stomach!"

"Thank you, Queen."

Mei agreed to sit down, and then said to the imperial concubine: "Look at the imperial concubine, after all, she has never given birth, but she looks so young and beautiful, I would have thought she was the same age as me!"

What did Mei Danying mean by saying this? She openly referred to the imperial concubine, but wasn't she also implying that the old ladies in the palace were infertile? He was not happy about Mei Danying being pregnant in the first place, and this made him even more annoyed with her.

After some routine concern, everyone dispersed.

Mei Dan was pregnant, which attracted the attention of all the palace maids. Hongli was overjoyed and discussed with the Queen to make her a noble lady.

"Ms. Mei has made great contributions, so it is appropriate to confer the title of noble lady upon her. However, since it is not yet the first anniversary of the late emperor's death, it is better to keep a low profile and give her the title of noble lady first. It can be considered a double happiness after she gives birth to a prince."

Hongli nodded and said, "The Queen is indeed very thoughtful. I will do as you say."

When Mei promised to learn about this, she was furious. The queen looked like a good person, but she dared to stop her from being promoted.

Although she was pregnant and could not sleep with the emperor, she was carrying a precious child. She picked the 15th day and asked the maid to come to Changchun Palace, and asked the emperor to go to Yonghe Palace on the grounds that she was feeling unwell in her abdomen.

When the emperor heard that his son was not well, he quickly dressed himself, and Langya also stood up and followed him.

"The Queen should rest early. I will go and take a look."

"I will also go and see the dragon baby in Mei's belly."

After saying this, he told Suyun to invite half of the imperial doctors who were on duty.

When they arrived at Yonghe Palace, the imperial physician also arrived.

After taking Mei's pulse, they found that nothing was wrong with her, and the fetus in her belly was safe and sound. But if nothing was wrong, why would the Queen Mother call so many imperial doctors to come?

Not knowing how to respond for a moment, Hongli saw them hesitating and thought there was something wrong with the dragon fetus, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Hurry up and tell me, what's wrong with the dragon fetus?"

Langya took a look and immediately understood the crux of the problem. Mei agreed to pretend.

"The imperial doctors should just speak frankly, so that in the future when the concubines have pregnancy problems, they will only go to the emperor instead of the imperial doctors. If they don't know, they will think that the emperor is proficient in medicine!"

"Please forgive me, Empress. I did not intend to invite the Emperor from Changchun Palace. It was just that I felt uncomfortable in my stomach and was afraid that something might go wrong with my first pregnancy, so I invited the Emperor in a moment of urgency."

Hongli looked at Bai Ruiji lying on the bed with tears in her eyes, looking like a pitiful little white rabbit, which instantly aroused his desire to protect her. He glanced at Langya with dissatisfaction. It was already this late and Concubine Mei was feeling uncomfortable in her stomach, but she was still so jealous, not acting like a queen at all.

"Your Majesty, please listen to what the imperial physician has to say first."

The imperial physician looked at the three of them, and finally spoke with difficulty: "Promised Mei, the dragon fetus in your belly is doing well."

Once a gap was opened, others would no longer insist.

"I have the same judgment."

"So is Weichen."

Hongli was a little bit unconvinced after hearing this, but when he looked at Mei's rosy complexion and guilty look, he knew that she did not seem to be unwell at all. He also considered what the imperial doctors said.

It has been confirmed that Concubine Mei was pretending to be sick and deliberately asked to leave the Queen's palace. She was just blaming the Queen in her heart.

I have been doting on her too much, almost to the point of pampering her to the sky. She bumped into the imperial concubine a few days ago, but the imperial concubine didn't bother with her. Now she dares to offend the queen. She is simply disrespectful to her superiors.

Could it be that he was resentful of the empress's suggestion to wait until she gave birth to a child before promoting her? But it was not even the first anniversary of the emperor's death, and it was not good to make a lot of news about it. Fortunately, the empress reminded him, and he almost made such a person a noble lady, which would have ruined his own intentions.

"The Queen is right. If you feel unwell, please consult the imperial physician. I am not proficient in medicine."

"Pass on my oral order. Mei promised to take advantage of her pregnancy and become spoiled. She will be stripped of her title and confined to her house for three months."

Langya advised, "Your Majesty, although it is wrong for Mei to be spoiled by her favor, she is pregnant with a dragon fetus, so she should continue to be treated the same until the birth."

"The queen is kind and compassionate. Let's go back to Changchun Palace and rest as soon as possible."

The next day

Jin Yuyan listened to Zhenshu's words and realized that the emperor had punished Bai Da Ying last night.

Thinking that his plan had not been implemented yet, Bai agreed to keep him under house arrest in Yonghe Palace. However, he was not in a hurry and first instigated the imperial concubine to add the drug to her diet.

Of course, such good news had to be told to the Imperial Concubine, so she changed her clothes and went to Xianfu Palace.

"My Lady Imperial Concubine, you may not know this yet, but Mei promised, oh no, now she has promised in vain. Last night, she took advantage of her favor and dared to snatch someone from the Empress's palace. The Emperor stripped her of her title and ordered her to be confined to Yonghe Palace for three months."

When Gao Xiyue heard the news, she was so happy that she thought this arrogant person had offended her. She couldn't even afford to offend the Queen. Now she was getting her retribution!

Concubine Jia added, "However, the treatment remains the same. She is more fortunate than us. She is pregnant with a son. I guess after she gives birth to a son, the Emperor will make her the head of the palace."

"The Imperial Concubine is fine. I will have to pay my respects to her when the time comes."
