The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

The figure disappeared quickly.

He Quan returned to the bed, hugged Zhao Yue tightly, kissed her on the forehead, and fell asleep in pleasure yet "torture".

-

Fengyi Palace.

Xun Qiu lit the candle and said, "My Lady, it's already very late. You should rest."

The queen flipped through the book in her hand and said, "I have been unable to sleep well since I became pregnant with Long Si. I sleep less, but it's okay."

Xunqiu had no choice but to add a few more red candles to prevent her from damaging her eyesight.

"Prince Duan Ze met Concubine Gao's sister?"

"Yes, I heard that Prince Duan Ze was quite satisfied, but Miss Gao went to Yanxi Palace in a rage. Judging from her expression, she might not be very satisfied."

"Your Majesty, do you understand?" The queen said with a smile on her face.

"Your Majesty has been handling government affairs in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Prince Duan Ze is not someone who understands his daughter's thoughts, so he probably doesn't know yet."

Xun Qiu continued, "This Concubine Gao's sister is only a cousin, but Prince Duan Ze is your Majesty's biological brother, and she has the guts to be dissatisfied."

The queen's eyes flashed with ridicule: "The Gao family has few girls, so they naturally pamper them. With an older sister who is a noble concubine, how could she be willing to marry a sickly prince."

Xun Qiu: "Madam, you mean..."

"Since your majesty doesn't know, then just whisper something in his ear and tell him that... Miss Gao thinks Prince Duan Ze's status is not prominent enough. Although he is a prince, he has no real power. Let your majesty take a look. This is the good sister taught by the gentle and virtuous Concubine Gao."

"Yes, tomorrow they will go to pay their respects to the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine might put on airs, so this will make her less proud."

The queen closed the book and yawned lazily: "Okay, take a break."

Xun Qiu helped her stand up. Just as the queen took a step forward, something fell in front of her and was caught by her.

It is a thin snake with a dark black body.

Xun Qiu screamed, "My Lady! There's a snake!"

The queen threw the snake away, but three or four more fell from the beam. She felt dizzy and her legs and feet were sore from fear that she fell back onto the couch: "Help, help..."

Xun Qiu suppressed his fear and said, "Someone come! Someone come!"

The Queen covered her stomach and said, "It hurts...Xunqiu, Xunqiu, my stomach hurts..."

The imperial guards rushed to open the door. Yan Yang glanced at the ground, drew out his sword and stabbed the snake to death, and ordered, "Catch the snake!"

He held the queen's arm and said to Qiu Ju, "Go get the imperial physician, quickly!"

Fengyi Palace was suddenly brightly lit.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Zhu Dingyuan rubbed his temples: "Snake, why is there a snake in Fengyi Palace?"

Huang Quan: "The imperial physician has gone to Fengyi Palace. The Empress is frightened and has a stomachache. She doesn't know what's going on yet."

"Go to Fengyi Palace."

"Go to Fengyi Palace!"

-

The queen was sleeping on the bed, with an unpleasant look on her face: "My child, how is he? How is he?"

Doctor Liu heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the Majesty has been pregnant for more than three months. She has been taking anti-abortion medicine and taking good care of herself. This time, she is safe and sound. The Majesty had a momentary convulsion and the abdominal pain is nothing serious."

Xun Qiu: "Thank you, Doctor Liu. Please prescribe some medicine to calm the queen down."

"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."

Xun Qiu wiped the sweat off the queen's forehead with a handkerchief: "It's okay, it's okay, your majesty."

She stroked her belly, still looking somewhat bewildered. When Zhu Dingyuan appeared in front of her, tears instantly fell: "Your Majesty!"

Xun Qiu glanced at the maids and said, "All of you go down."

Zhu Dingyuan frowned and sat next to her: "How is the child?"

"The imperial physician said everything is fine. If it weren't for the fact that my pregnancy was stable, I'm afraid today... I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to keep your majesty's child, wuwu..."

"It's winter now, not the Waking of Insects, and Fengyi Palace is not built by the water. How could there be snakes?"

His gaze fell on the queen's face, dark as ink.

The queen's heart trembled: "Your Majesty, someone wants to harm me. Now I am the only one who is pregnant with your Majesty's legitimate child. Someone must be jealous and wants to persecute your Majesty's heir."

The tears in her eyes flowed more and more: "Since ancient times, women have been at risk of death in pregnancy. I am weak to begin with. If I don't make it through today, I'm afraid... there will be two lives..."

Zhu Dingyuan looked at her belly and stretched out his hand, and the queen quickly put her hand on it.

His tone softened: "You are the queen, who dares to harm you."

"Of course, it's because I'm the one who has won the favor of Your Majesty, but I don't have any children yet. I've been confined to my room to take care of my baby, but I still got attacked like this. Woohoo... I'm really scared."

A person who is greatly favored but has no children.

Zhu Dingyuan thought about this, his eyes darkened, and he let go of her hand: "Where is the snake you caught?"

Yan Yang came in from outside, put the snake on the ground, and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Yan Yang, you are on patrol today, did you see anyone?"

"Reporting to your majesty, no one has entered Fengyi Palace, and it is even more impossible for them to retreat quietly."

Yan Yang opened the snake's mouth and said, "These snakes are cobras. They look similar to pit vipers, but they are not poisonous."

"Non-venomous." Zhu Dingyuan looked at the queen: "This snake appeared in your bedroom. If someone wanted to harm you, why would they bring a non-venomous snake?"

He said calmly, "There is no assassin in the world so stupid that he could release the snake quietly just to scare you."

The Queen was surprised: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, maybe it was just to scare me and cause miscarriage, Your Majesty..."

"To scare you, with just these three or four long, thin snakes?" Zhu Dingyuan interrupted her.

"Your Majesty, you must believe me. Someone must be trying to harm me, Your Majesty!"

"Queen." Zhu Dingyuan's eyes fell on her, revealing impatience.

The queen immediately fell silent.

"Yan Yang, go find out where the snake came from. If you can't figure it out, you don't have to be the head of the guard any more." He snorted coldly, "Strengthen the defense of Fengyi Palace, and don't let this kind of trouble happen again."

Broken, broken thing?

The queen's face turned pale. She was so frightened that she almost had a miscarriage. It turned out to be just a trivial matter.

"Your Majesty..." she shouted, and her tears stopped abruptly.

"I have asked them to investigate. If someone really wants to harm the dragon heir, I will not ignore it. Okay, take a rest." Zhu Dingyuan stood up, his eyes full of fatigue and irritability.

The queen wanted to keep him to rest and accompany her, but she could only watch her bright yellow figure disappear quickly.

She clutched the quilt tightly, her eyes gloomy.

Why, why doesn't Your Majesty believe her!

Someone must want to harm her. Who is it... who is it?

-

Zhu Dingyuan got on the imperial sedan chair, and Huang Quan said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, why don't you rest here with the Queen?"

"She's crying and sobbing. She's very upset."

Zhu Dingyuan closed his eyes, brought the crabapple sachet he was wearing to his nose, took a light sniff, and his irritable mood subsided a little.

The Queen insisted that it was not an accident, and hinted that someone else had framed her. The number of guards in Fengyi Palace had already doubled.

Who can harm her easily?

She was so persistent that he couldn't help but think more. Could it be that she saw that he favored Yue'er and favored other concubines and didn't visit her, so she directed and acted in such a good show.

Zhu Dingyuan sneered: "Jealous woman."
