After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

He carried Doctor Li on his back and quickly disappeared into the night.

Eunuch An walked back to the bedside and saw the queen hurriedly putting down the medicine bowl.

He walked over suspiciously and took a look.

However, apart from the medicine bowl, nothing else was seen.

"My Queen, what are you doing?"

When the Queen heard Eunuch An's sinister words, she tried to remain calm.

"What can I do? Of course I can feed medicine to the emperor."

Eunuch An picked up the medicine bowl and smelled it. The smell was the same as usual.

He put down the medicine bowl, thinking he was a little too sensitive tonight.

The queen stood up and said, "I am tired. I will go back to the palace first. Xiao Anzi, please take good care of the emperor!"

After saying that, she walked out.

Eunuch An always felt something was strange, so he came closer to the emperor.

Sure enough, he saw some white powder at the corners of the emperor's mouth.

He quickly took out a handkerchief, wiped off the powder, and put it in his arms.

He looked around and didn't see the powder anywhere else.

He couldn't guess what the Empress fed the Emperor.

He thought for a moment, walked to the bedside and opened one of the boxes.

There was a black pill in the box, and he took it out.

This pill is a life-saving pill that every succeeding emperor has prepared since ancient times.

It can not only cure all kinds of poisons, but also prolong life.

He helped the emperor up, pinched his jaw open, and stuffed the pill into his mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth, and Eunuch An saw the emperor swallow it.

Only then did he let the emperor go.

"Pa pa" he clapped his hands twice.

A guard floated down from the beam.

In the middle of the night, someone came to the palace and asked Xiao Minshen to come in, saying that the emperor was not feeling well.

Shen Yunjin forced himself to sit up and was about to get out of bed when Xiao Minshen held him down.

"You are not feeling well, just lie down and let Fulu take care of you."

After Xiao Minshen put on his clothes, he turned to Shen Yunjin and said.

"If you are not feeling well, just stay in the mansion and don't go anywhere, okay?"

"I understand." Shen Yunjin smiled.

For some reason, Shen Yunjin's right eyelid was twitching violently.

She forced herself to close her eyes and began to rest.

Just as the sky was getting light, someone came to the palace again.

This time, Shen Yunjin was invited to the palace.

Jinzhi secretly stuffed a purse into the eunuch's hand.

"Our queen is about to give birth, can you please make some concessions, father-in-law?"

The eunuch stuffed the purse back with a cold face.

"Concubine Shen, hurry up, we still have to go pick up the masters from other mansions."

This was a strange eunuch whom Shen Yunjin had never seen before.

"Which palace are you from? Why haven't I seen you before? How is the emperor's health now?"

Shen Yunjin changed into her palace dress, held Yang Liu's hand, and walked out of the house.

The eunuch bowed slightly and said, "We serve the emperor. Now that Concubine Shen is ready, you can leave."

Just as Jinzhi was about to step forward, the eunuch stretched out the whisk in his hand and stopped her.

"Only one maid can go."

Jinzhi was anxious, "Eunuch, my wife is pregnant, and one maid may not be able to take care of her properly."

"That's the rule." The eunuch remained unmoved.

Shen Yunjin gave Jinzhi a look and said, "You should stay here. The mansion can't be left unattended."

No matter how anxious Jinzhi was, she had no choice but to stay.

Yang Liu helped Shen Yunjin onto the carriage and she looked around smartly.

Confirming that the direction the carriage was heading was the imperial palace.

There were several other carriages entering the palace as well.

Shen Yunjin held Yang Liu's hand and got off the carriage.

Just then I saw that the person getting off the carriage nearby was Princess Rui.

Princess Rui was shocked when she saw Shen Yunjin.

"Are you about to give birth?"

Shen Yunjin held her belly and nodded.

"Princess, do you know why all of us were brought into the palace?"

Princess Rui covered her mouth with a handkerchief and whispered, "I heard that my father is dying."

Shen Yunjin's heart skipped a beat. She ignored etiquette and grabbed Princess Rui.

"I am afraid I will give birth in the next few days. What should I do?"

Princess Rui looked around. At this time, the eunuch who led the way had already led them to a palace.

"You don't have to worry too much. If anything happens, there is always a doctor!"

Princess Rui patted Shen Yunjin's hand.

Many officials’ wives had already arrived at the palace, and Princess Rui saw some familiar ones.

Shen Yunjin let her go and motioned Jinzhi to help her walk to the corner.

This corner is in the northwest corner of the palace. There is a screen and an empty antique shelf.

Shen Yunjin sat down with his back against the antique shelf.

Yang Liu held her belly and said, "My Lady, I will leave for a while."

She bent down, spoke some nice words to the eunuch at the door, and stuffed a heavy purse into his hand.

The eunuch then nodded and let her go.

After a while, Yang Liu came in.

She stood behind Shen Yunjin and said, "Madam, I feel something is wrong."

Shen Yunjin pinched her fingers.

Yang Liu squatted down and straightened the corner of Shen Yunjin's clothes.

"When I went to the bathroom just now, I was accompanied by a young eunuch."

"Also, when this servant came back, she deliberately took the wrong road, and the guards immediately came out to stop her."

Shen Yunjin's brows furrowed.

She didn't recognize all the officials' wives in the palace, but the wives of those above the third rank were all there.

"Jin'er!"

A familiar voice sounded, Shen Yunjin looked up and saw it was Wang Zhaozhao.

"You're here too?" Shen Yunjin's face didn't look good.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so bad? Are you about to give birth?"

Wang Zhaozhao took a few quick steps and held Shen Yunjin's hand.

Shen Yunjin shook his head with difficulty.

"Did you take the gift I gave you with you?"

Wang Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment.

Gift? Could it be that Shen Yunjin was talking about a crossbow?

But, I’m just entering the palace, why bring that thing?

She didn't know what she was thinking about, and her face suddenly turned pale.

"No, it's too valuable. I can't bear to take it out."

Shen Yunjin pinched Wang Zhaozhao's palm.

"Maybe the baby wants to come out these two days. My belly hurts from time to time. Please stay with me. This way, I won't be afraid."

Wang Zhaozhao nodded and sat down aside.

At this moment, there was a quarrel in the morning court in the Golden Palace.

As always, the topic is that the prince is not the emperor's son and is not worthy of sitting on the dragon throne.

The prince's party opposed it, saying that it was all rumors and there was no evidence, and that the entire clan should be executed.

The prince stood up when he saw the quarrel going on below.

"My dear ministers, right now, my father is in a coma and no one is taking care of the government."

"I have been taught by my father since I was young. After I came of age, my father has always let me participate in the management of state affairs."

"I am the crown prince appointed by my father, so it is natural that I should take over the management of the government from my father."

"What do you think?"

The party supporting the prince immediately knelt down.

"We support the prince!"

The other court officials looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
