New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

Seeing Rong Mama's guilty look, La Mei knew that she already knew that the Queen was pregnant, and she didn't bother to continue to hold her accountable. After all, she was just a little maid and could not beat the old maid beside the Queen.

She immediately asked Doctor Chang to send someone to deliver the medicine, and she hurried back to the Yanx Palace to discuss countermeasures with the Empress.

When Rong Mama saw La Mei running back, she limped towards the Cining Palace, enduring the pain. She wanted to tell the Queen the news as soon as possible.

Chang Shou looked at this scene and shook his head helplessly. This was the palace fight. Once a concubine became pregnant, there would always be some intrigue.

I just don't know whether Concubine Ling can save this baby.

Shaking his head, Chang Shou left reluctantly, deciding to go get some medicine to make Concubine Ling feel better.

----

Inside the Yanxi Palace.

Concubine Ling was helped to lie on the bed to rest. Dongmei was instructing the palace maids who had been serving outside the door to keep what they had heard today in their hearts and not to tell anyone about it.

While I was giving a lecture, I saw Lamei running back with a pale face.

Dongxue's heart skipped a beat when she saw this, and she didn't bother to scold him, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Lamei glanced at the others and asked them to go out first. She didn't bother to answer Dongxue's words. She walked straight to the bed, knelt down with a plop, and said with a guilty look on her face.

"Your Majesty, I asked Imperial Physician Chang how to protect the fetus. I didn't expect that Aunt Rong was eavesdropping from behind. She should be going back to inform the Queen. I'm afraid that the news of your pregnancy can no longer be concealed."

After hearing this, Dongxue looked at Lamei with disappointment. She didn't expect her to be so careless. But now was not the time to think about this, so she quickly looked at the Empress carefully.

Wei Qinglan was still immersed in the joy of becoming a mother. When she heard what Lamei said, her heart skipped a beat. Then she sighed and said, "Don't hide it, Dongxue. Go to the Cining Palace now and tell the old Buddha that I'm pregnant."

"My queen? This..."

Dongxue was a little confused, and Lamei was also a little puzzled.

Wei Qinglan propped himself up and explained to them, "I originally wanted to keep it a secret for another half a month, waiting for the emperor to come back, so that others would not dare to make any plans, but now the queen has already known about it.

Rather than hiding it, it is better to make a big fuss and let the old Buddha know. The baby in my belly, whether it is a prince or a princess, is of royal blood. If the old Buddha knows about it, he will definitely protect my baby and warn other concubines not to do anything tricky. "

When Lamei Dongxue heard this, she suddenly understood.

Dongxue responded and asked Lamei to serve the empress well, then she trotted all the way to the Cining Palace to report the news to the Empress Dowager.

Cining Palace.

As soon as Shu Yuan arrived at the inner room, she saw the old lady half leaning on the bed, looking at her with eyes full of love.

That look was like looking at her own daughter, which made her heart ache and she almost cried.

She knew that Mr. Lafayette loved her.

Shu Yuan asked everyone else to wait outside the door, and she went to the old lady and greeted her.

The old Buddha waved at her and said, "No need to be polite, come and sit down."

There was a chair placed next to the bed, obviously prepared in advance.

Shu Yuan nodded and walked to the chair and sat down obediently.

The old Buddha reached out and took Shu Yuan's hand on her knee, and said lovingly, "Child, I know you have been wronged. Knowing that the emperor has a woman outside and an illegitimate daughter who will be brought back to the palace, you still have to endure everything the emperor does.

But there was no way, his status as the emperor meant that he could not favor only one person.

However, don't worry, the position of Queen will only be yours, and no one can surpass you. You are my favorite daughter-in-law, and as long as I am alive, no one can shake your position.

Therefore, you have to relax and not do anything you shouldn't do just because you can't think straight and make the emperor hate you.

If you do something that is against the will of heaven or if you use some dirty tricks to make the emperor angry, I can't save you, do you understand?"

Shu Yuan sat obediently, listening to the old lady's scolding, from the empathy and comfort at the beginning to the courtesy before force at the end, his heart slowly sank.

The old lady might feel a little sorry for her situation, but more of it was a warning to her, telling her to be aware of her identity and not do things that she shouldn't do.

Although she didn't plan to do anything, she had to admit that she felt a little uncomfortable after being misunderstood.

But she looked grateful, "My Lord, I know that I will never do anything that would be beneath my dignity.

Sister Na He is coming back soon, and there are two new princesses. Has the old Buddha decided which palace they should live in?"

Seeing that she was well-behaved and obedient, the old Buddha nodded with satisfaction, and after thinking for a while, he said, "The emperor should be able to arrange these when he returns. Where does the queen want to arrange for them?"

Seeing that the old Buddha had kicked the ball back, Shu Yuan just smiled and said, "I don't know which palace should be cleaned up for Concubine He. Let's wait for the emperor to come back and make specific arrangements."

When the old lady heard this, she just smiled and said nothing.

The two chatted about other things.

The Empress Dowager had almost finished hammering and felt tired, so she asked the Queen to go back.

After Shu Yuan paid her respects and took her leave, she had just walked not far from the Cining Palace when she saw Rong Mama limping towards her. She was startled and quickly led people to meet her.

"How did it happen?"

When he came closer, Shu Yuan quickly reached out to support Rong Mama and asked with concern.

Madam Rong was running and walking just now, sweating all over, grimacing, and sprained her ankle. It hurts so much.

Supported by the Queen, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. After taking a breath, she asked everyone else to step back, supported the Queen, and limped forward, speaking with difficulty.

"Empress, Concubine Ling, is pregnant."

Shu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. As the head of the harem, she still had no children. Concubine Yu in the palace gave birth to Yongqi, who was favored by the emperor. Xia Yuhe outside the palace had a three-year-old daughter. Now Concubine Ling was pregnant. As for herself, she had nothing...

When Shu Yuan thought that if she remained childless for many years, the emperor might depose her from the position of empress, and she would be insulted by the world for not having an heir, her face turned pale, her heart sank, and she almost couldn't stand.

When Rong Mama saw the Empress like this, she also thought of what the Empress was worried about. She quickly supported the Empress's shaky body and said in a low and vicious voice, "Your Majesty, it is said that Concubine Ling's pregnancy is unstable. How about this slave use a trick..."

Shu Yuan took a deep breath to calm herself down. After she stood firm, she looked at Nanny Xianrong and asked, "Were they able to find you when you came?"

Aunt Rong said with a shameful look on her face, "La Mei and Imperial Doctor Chang caught me eavesdropping."

Shu Yuan closed her eyes and said, "That's it. Since La Mei found out that you already knew about Concubine Ling's pregnancy, she will definitely go back and tell Concubine Ling. Then, Concubine Ling will not be able to continue to hide her pregnancy.

Now that the Emperor is not in the palace, she will certainly have someone inform the Empress Dowager, and then everyone in the palace will know that she is pregnant. If I do something and it is discovered, will I still have a way to survive?"

Rong Mama originally just wanted to vent the anger for the Empress, and wanted to do something to ease the Empress's heart from the blows she had suffered one after another. However, she also knew that if she did anything, it would ruin a mother and an unborn child.

Now that the queen has refused, she couldn't help but feel relieved, but seeing the queen so unhappy, she felt really uncomfortable.

"My lady, what should we do?"

Shu Yuan sighed, and it was worth leaving Jingren Palace. She turned and walked towards the direction of Yanxi Palace. "No matter what, as the queen, I have to go and express my condolences when I learned that Concubine Ling is pregnant. Let's go, take some supplements and go see Concubine Ling."

Madam Rong nodded, not caring about the severe pain in her feet, and helped the empress walk towards the Yanxi Palace, while also instructing two skillful palace maids to go back to Jingren Palace to get some thousand-year-old ginseng and other gifts.

They walked and stopped, waiting for the palace maid to come back.

"What, Concubine Ling is pregnant? This is good news. Have you sent the imperial physician to check her pulse?"
