Xia Dongchun from Legend of Zhen Huan: I want to live till the last episode

She didn't reply, and the queen was not in a hurry. If it didn't work once, then try twice. Even if Lady Borjigit didn't stand on her side in the end, once the seeds of jealousy were planted, they would take root and sprout one day.

"Your Majesty is the mother of the country. You care about me and others so much. I am really grateful." Borjigit said nicely, but it sounded a bit perfunctory to the Queen. "After I go back, I will give some of the mutton and cheese that the Queen gave to Sister Xia, so that she can also feel the Queen's care for her."

The smile on the queen's face froze, and she didn't want to say anything more to her for the time being: "I know, I heard that Concubine Xia was not feeling well this morning, you should go and see her."

"Yes, thank you very much, Queen." Noblewoman Borjigit stood up and said, "I will take my leave."

Leaving Changchun Xianguan and walking on the way back to Xinghuachun Pavilion, the sunlight shines through layers of leaves, and when it hits people, the whole light and shadow is very beautiful.

But nobleman Borjigit had no time to appreciate it.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Zi Su lowered her voice and said, "My lady, are you worried about Lady Xia?"

Noblewoman Borjigit looked at the lotus in the lake in the distance and said, "How can I not worry? Everyone in the palace knows that I have a good relationship with Dongchun and we are very close friends. The queen dared to find me directly and wanted to use me to get rid of the child in Dongchun's belly. What about others? I can choose not to do it, but will others be used? Will they also frame Dongchun because of their own selfishness?"

The answer is very clear without Shisu's answer.

Noblewoman Borjigit has a good relationship with Xia Dongchun, so naturally she hopes that Xia Dongchun can give birth to a prince or princess smoothly, but others do not have this concern.

"If you are really worried about Miss Xia, we just need to think more about her. After all, it's only four months. If Miss Xia can give birth to a prince this time, she might be able to become a concubine." Zi Su was also very grateful for the help Xia Dongchun extended to them that day, and naturally hoped that she would be safe.

"This is the only solution for now." Noblewoman Borjigit said, "It is better not to tell Dongchun about this matter first, lest she worry too much, which will be bad for her health."

"Yes, I understand." Zi Su agreed.

However, after Lady Borjigit left Changchun Fairy Pavilion, the Queen played with the white jade ruyi in her hand with an unclear expression.

"My lady, I don't think this noble lady Borjigit will obey your orders." Jianqiu frowned and said, "What if she tells others about what happened today?"

The Queen chuckled: "Even if she really tells others, what does it matter? Have I ever said anything to instigate her to harm others?"

Jianqiu reacted: "Your Majesty is wise."

"Besides, if it doesn't work once, try it twice. If it doesn't work twice, try it a few more times. I don't believe that she can watch her good sister's belly getting bigger day by day, and the emperor's favor is also increasing day by day, and she won't have any resentment in her heart."

A hint of cruelty flashed in the queen's eyes: "This child must not be kept."

"What about Concubine Shen..." Jianqiu asked tentatively.

Unexpectedly, the Queen laughed out loud: "Noble Lady Shen? Let her make a fuss over there. If the so-called child in her belly can be born, I will really sigh in admiration."

Jianqiu was stunned, not understanding what she meant.

The Queen smiled and said, "I asked Doctor Zhang from the Imperial Hospital to take Shen Meizhuang's pulse. What do you think?"

Jianqiu was puzzled: "Could it be that Concubine Shen is not in good health and will have a miscarriage?"

"Miscarriage?" The queen laughed louder. "Miscarriage is when there is a baby in the belly. If there is no baby in the belly, how can it be called miscarriage?"

After hearing this, even Jianqiu was stunned. After a long while, she asked, "Your Majesty, are you saying... Concubine Shen faked a pregnancy to win favor?"

"Whether she faked the pregnancy to win favor or someone else deliberately framed her, it doesn't matter. If she faked the pregnancy to win favor, she will be exposed sooner or later. If someone else deliberately framed her, then we can just sit back and watch the show."

……

After returning to Xinghuachun Pavilion, Lady Borjigit went to Xia Dongchun first.

Xia Dongchun's face was pale, and it was obvious that he had not touched much of the breakfast on the table. The imperial physician was kneeling beside him, looking very anxious.

Borjigit thought something was wrong and hurried forward to check: "What happened to my sister?"

The imperial physician replied, "My lady, Concubine Xia has symptoms of heat stroke, and it seems that she ate something wrong, which caused the fetus to be unstable. Although it is not a serious problem, my lady is six months pregnant after all. If the fetus in the belly is slightly uncomfortable, it will also affect the mother."

"How could I eat the wrong thing for no reason?" But nobleman Borjigit felt that the matter was not that simple.

Yun Ling was about to cry anxiously: "How could this happen? The young lady has been very careful about her diet in recent days and has never eaten anything random."

"In addition to the meals sent from the imperial kitchen, does my sister also have to drink a bowl of plum soup every day?" Noblewoman Borjigit suddenly remembered and reminded.

Xia Dongchun half-sat on the bed, her lips almost losing color: "Yes, could it be that there is something wrong with the plum soup?"

Noblewoman Borjigit said to the imperial physician, "Please check the plum soup, so that we can rest assured."

It just so happened that Xia Dongchun hadn't drunk her plum soup yet, so Qi Ling quickly brought it over.

After a careful inspection, the imperial physician bowed his head in panic and said, "Damn you, I didn't even notice that someone mixed hawthorn into the plum soup!"

"Hawthorn?" Mr. Borjigit was not familiar with medicine, so he didn't know why there was something wrong with this thing. "What's wrong with hawthorn?"

The imperial physician replied tremblingly, "My two young ladies, you don't know that there is nothing wrong with this hawthorn. It's just that hawthorn can invigorate the blood circulation. If you eat it for several days, it may stimulate the mother's body and cause premature birth. However, the fetus in your belly is only six months old. If you really drink it for several days, I'm afraid it will..."

The imperial physician didn't dare to say the rest, but everyone present understood.

This was the first time that noble Borjigit spoke in such a stern voice: "Investigate! Investigate carefully! Qi Ling, go to the Qinzheng Palace to ask for an audience with the emperor and tell him the truth about this matter. Let's see who is so bold as to murder the Dragonborn!"

Xia Dongchun was both angry and scared, with beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. But she couldn't stand the wind for the time being, so she could only put the ice far away in the house to make the room a little cooler.

"You can imagine how evil this person is." Xia Dongchun bit her lip. "This plum soup is also sour. After I got pregnant, I started to like sour food. I mixed some hawthorn into it every day, so I couldn't detect it for a while. If it wasn't for the hot weather these past two days and I wasn't feeling well, I probably wouldn't have noticed it."

"My dear sister, please take a rest first. If you have anything to say, wait until the emperor comes." The noble lady Borjigit said, "Look, your face is pale."
