Quickly wear the female supporting role, don't try to take advantage of me

After full term, Luo Chen may give birth at any time. With the system's guarantee, Luo Chen is not worried. This is how it was done in her previous world. She just treats it as a short sleep.

Except for the two hours of praying every day, Lin Qingwan spends most of her time with Luo Chen, waiting for Luo Chen to give birth.

Finally, the time of delivery came and Fanghua Palace began to prepare immediately. Luo Chen was not worried at all. She didn't feel anything and just watched the nanny sent by the emperor busy herself.

Her chief maid, Feicui, at her signal, stared at the people sent in by Concubine Li.

The emperor and concubines from all palaces rushed over immediately after hearing the news. Since Lin Qingwan was still kneeling as punishment, no one told her the news, so she didn't know about it for the time being.

In the delivery room, Luo Chen felt the powerless medicine on the midwife's body and winked at Feicui, who immediately went over and pulled the midwife out to see the emperor.

After Feicui pulled the midwife out, she immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please help Empress Zhaoyi. This bitch wants to harm you. I don't know what she put on her body. When you smell it, you feel powerless."

The midwife knelt down in fear and said, "Your Majesty, I did not do that. It was Miss Feicui who wanted to harm the queen. She pulled me out at this critical moment just to delay the queen's delivery. I beg Your Majesty to let me go back quickly, otherwise the queen will be in trouble."

Feicui snorted coldly: "We can find out if there is an imperial physician. Please ask the emperor to let the imperial physician check it out."

At this time, a young palace maid came in with a basin of water. She was shocked to see the midwife kneeling on the ground, but she immediately hid her expression and hurriedly lowered her head to go into the delivery room.

Li Zhaozhao saw it and called out to the little palace maid, "Stop."

The little palace maid turned around in a panic and asked in a trembling voice, "What do you want, Concubine Li? I'll bring in the hot water."

Li Zhaozhao stared at her with sharp eyes: "Why were you so nervous looking at this midwife just now?"

The little palace maid stammered, "I, I was suddenly surprised to see the person who delivered the baby for Empress Zhaoyi kneeling here."

Li Zhaozhao sneered and said, "You don't look surprised, but rather frightened."

The little palace maid trembled even more violently. She looked up at Concubine Li, then quickly lowered her head and said, "Slave, your servant..."

This action was seen by the emperor, who looked at Concubine Li with suspicion. As someone who grew up in the palace, he naturally understood the twists and turns involved and suspected that today's incident was related to the only mother of the prince.

At this moment, because Concubine Li was blocking the Queen in front of her, she did not see what the little palace maid did, and did not say anything. She just stared at Feicui and the midwife who were kneeling on the ground.

The emperor ordered that the two men be arrested immediately and interrogated after Zhaoyi gave birth.

Then he gave a look to the eunuch Zhou Yu beside him. Zhou Yu understood and immediately took people to take the two people away, along with the water brought by the little palace maid.

After they got out, they immediately sent the men to the torture room for interrogation, and then asked the imperial physician to check whether there was anything harmful on the two men.

At this time the two people felt scared. The little palace maid didn't know who had instructed her to do this, and the midwife knew the truth but she didn't dare to tell the truth because her family was in the hands of Concubine Li.

While Zhou Yu ordered the torture room staff to take action, he left to watch who would come to contact the two men. Unexpectedly, the chief eunuch of the torture room actually killed the midwife. After the midwife died, Zhou Yu did not show anything on the surface, but secretly began to investigate the details of Liu, the chief eunuch of the torture room.

The little palace maid survived because she didn't know the person behind the scenes. After all, they couldn't all be killed.

Luo Chen gave birth to the second prince safely. The emperor looked at his second son happily, and the queen was also happy and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Lin has done a great service in giving birth to a son. Why not promote her to the position of consort?"

Concubine Li Xian was shocked and blurted out: "She has just entered the palace and has been promoted to the position of concubine. Isn't that inappropriate? Lin Zhaoyi may not be worthy of the position of concubine."

The Queen looked at her and said, "Didn't you get promoted when you gave birth to a prince? You can do it, so why can't Lin Zhaoyi?"

Concubine Li Xian said unconvincedly: "When I gave birth to the eldest prince, wasn't I just a Zhaoyi?"

The Queen laughed and said, "Xianfei, your father was a fourth-rank official at that time, and Lin Zhaoyi's father was a second-rank official. You were not as favored by the Emperor as Lin Zhaoyi is now.

Besides, Lin Zhaoyi can please the emperor and gave birth to a son for him, so she deserves the title of concubine. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

These words made Concubine Li's face turn pale. The Queen was saying that her family was not as good as Luo Chen's, and she was not as favored as Luo Chen, which meant that the eldest prince was not as good as the second prince.

Thinking of this, a hint of resentment unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

The emperor felt that what he said made sense, and thinking of his previous suspicion, he now saw Concubine Li's expression.

"What the Queen said is that Lin Zhaoyi can be named Shufei."

The other lower-ranking concubines did not dare to say anything. They just knelt down to congratulate the Emperor, the Empress and the newly-appointed Concubine Lin Shu.

After the queen congratulated him with a smile, she said, "Your Majesty, let the nurse feed the baby. We should also think about who is so bold as to harm the heir to the throne."

The emperor had the second prince carried down to the main hall of Fanghua Palace and asked Zhou Yu to present the results of the investigation.

Zhou Yu reported the matter truthfully, and Concubine Li was relieved when she heard that the midwife was dead.

Under normal circumstances, Concubine Li would never have made such a big mistake, but today, she was humiliated by the Emperor and the Empress in front of so many concubines, and she was angry and anxious, so she revealed such a big flaw, which was seen by the Emperor who had been observing her.

The emperor asked someone to bring the little palace maid over.

As soon as the little palace maid arrived, she started crying and said that it was Concubine Xian who ordered it.

Concubine Li Xian was so frightened that she stood up and pointed at the palace maid and scolded her: "You are talking nonsense, who ordered you to frame me like this?"

Then she said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. Someone must have deliberately framed me and Concubine Shu. I have the eldest prince. If something happened to Concubine Shu, everyone would suspect me. This way, they could remove both of my titles at once."

The little maid kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't know at first. The midwife told me. She said her family was captured by Concubine Xian and threatened to take action when Concubine Shu gave birth. She also said that Chief Manager Liu of the Torture Office was Concubine Xian's man and that she would not survive if she entered there. She also hid all the rewards Concubine Xian gave her under the kang mat in her home."

Zhou Yu also appeared and said that Manager Liu directly killed the midwife, causing the midwife to commit suicide out of fear of punishment.

The emperor had a gloomy expression on his face. He placed everyone except the queen under house arrest, and then ordered an investigation to begin.
