After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Nian Qiaoyue said weakly with a pale face: "My lady, the reason why I am resting in the prince's bedroom is because my stomach hurts a little and I feel like I am falling. It doesn't matter if I die, but I am afraid..."

She touched her belly with a gentle look in her eyes, "I'm afraid this poor child will die because of me before he can see the world, cough cough cough..."

Qiuyao secretly praised her in her heart, saying that she was smart and clever for once.

Nian Qiaoyue wiped away her tears and said, "At this point, I dare not dream of marrying into a rich family. I just hope that the child can be born safely, so that I will not suffer so much for him in vain."

The queen had been pregnant before and knew what a sinking belly meant. It was most likely a sign of miscarriage.

Although she didn't like Nian Qiaoyue, and didn't necessarily like the child in her belly, it was Qin Fengtian's flesh and blood after all. She was also a mother, so when Nian Qiaoyue said these words, she felt sympathy for a moment.

He Zhu saw that the Queen was moved, but she did not dare to target Nian Qiaoyue openly, so she could only tactfully persuade her: "Your Majesty, Nian Qiaoyue is relying on her pregnancy to think that you will not do anything to them, so she has repeatedly challenged your authority. This time, no matter what, we cannot let her off!"

The queen gritted her teeth and slapped Hezhu in the face with her backhand.

The force was so strong that Hezhu was thrown backwards. Chunhuan and Xueying supported her. Before she could stand firmly, she knelt down with great tact, "Queen, please forgive me!"

Chunhuan and Xueying both worked with Hezhu, so naturally they knelt down tremblingly.

The queen glanced at the three of them, and the anger in her eyes gradually subsided, as if she didn't take them seriously.

Although this slap hit Hezhu's face, it hit the hearts of everyone present.

Nian Qiaoyue glanced at Hezhu from the corner of her eyes. She felt so relieved, but she didn't show it. Instead, she lay down on the ground, holding her stomach and saying she felt uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Qiuyao, no matter how afraid she was of the queen, gritted her teeth and went to help her.

The queen ordered someone to invite the imperial physician to check Nian Qiaoyue's pulse and protect her pregnancy. Hezhu and the other two were each given twenty strokes of the cane.

Nian Qiaoyue was carried back to the bedroom where her maids lived - a large dormitory room for eight people. At this time, all the maids in Xiangru Palace were on duty. Qiuyao led the way and asked several guards carrying stretchers to carry Nian Qiaoyue to her bed.

The Queen and Qin Fengtian followed.

"Doctor Zhang, please take a good look at her and see if there is anything wrong with the fetus in her belly."

Doctor Zhang bowed and replied "Yes", then hurriedly went to take the patient's pulse.

Qin Fengtian pulled Qiuyao aside, and the two of them huddled behind a curtain and whispered.

"Sister Qiuyao, is Sister Qiaoyue pregnant with a baby?" He asked curiously, finger-twisting. He couldn't help but glance in Qiaoyue's direction, but was afraid that the Queen would see him, so he retracted his neck after a quick glance.

The fact that Nian Qiaoyue was pregnant was almost a taboo in Xiangru Palace. No one dared to mention it, no one wanted to mention it, and no one dared to mention it in front of the Queen.

The queen's eyes relaxed and her attention fell on the two people behind the curtain.

"Your Highness, please don't ask. I don't know." Qiu Yao took a step back in embarrassment.

Not to mention that the queen is still here, even if the queen is not here, she dare not tell Qin Fengtian the truth. After all, what does a fool know? If she reveals it in front of the queen one day, wouldn’t she be shooting herself in the foot?

So Qiuyao refused to mention it.

"How could you not know? You just told mother that sister Qiaoyue had a stomachache, you must know." Qin Fengtian was relentless, his voice even rose a few notches when he was excited, "Did you deliberately not tell me!"

After she finished speaking, the queen's sharp gaze fell on the two of them like a death decree.

Qiu Yao was so scared that she didn't dare to raise her head. She tugged at Qin Fengtian's sleeve and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "Your Majesty, the Queen is watching you."

Qin Fengtian was stunned, turned his head, and met the queen's vicious gaze. He was so frightened that he got goose bumps all over his body. He dared not speak anymore and shrank behind Qiu Yao like a quail.

Nian Qiaoyue did not faint. She answered the imperial physician's questions weakly. The Queen was watching her and she did not dare to lie. But she did feel uncomfortable in her stomach, especially in the past month, when she was bullied so badly by Hezhu that she felt she was having a miscarriage.

But the palace was not allowed to invite imperial physicians to treat illnesses, so she could only endure the discomfort. This time, she pretended to be pitiful in front of the queen, and also wanted to use the queen's power to let the imperial physician come to check her fetus.

Her entire future depends on this pregnancy, so she cannot take it lightly.

Doctor Zhang asked a few questions, frowned, sighed and shook his head. Nian Qiaoyue was very nervous and couldn't get to the bottom of anything.

The queen was annoyed by his sighing and asked impatiently, "How is it?"

Qin Fengtian and Qiu Yao pricked up their ears.

Doctor Zhang put away his tools and bowed before the Queen, saying, "Your Majesty, this girl's health is not good to begin with. She is cold and weak, and she is overworked, so her pulse is unstable. The first three months of pregnancy is the most critical time, but from my observation of her pulse, it seems that she has never taken any medicine to stabilize the pregnancy, and she often touches cold water and gets cold, so... this pregnancy is very uncertain."

Doctor Zhang looked worried.

Nian Qiaoyue knew her own body, so she was not too surprised by what Doctor Zhang said. Now it all depended on the Queen's attitude.

If the Queen was willing to let her take good care of the baby, there might be room for recovery. But if the Queen did not care about the life or death of the child, even if she could escape today, she would definitely be tortured to death by Hezhu's three sisters in the future.

The queen was silent for a long time, then sighed silently, "Doctor Zhang, you are a master of a special field worth thousands of gold. Based on her condition, what are the chances of the child being saved?"

Doctor Zhang looked at Nian Qiaoyue with sympathy and said, "If you take good care of yourself and take good care of the fetus... there is a 60% chance that you can give birth to a full-term baby."

Nian Qiaoyue’s heart suddenly tightened.

In such a dangerous situation, the Queen would not abandon her and her son, right?

Qin Fengtian, hiding behind the curtain, couldn't wait to ask Qiuyao, "Sister Qiuyao, what is full-term delivery?"

Qiuyao really wanted to find a hole to crawl into immediately to avoid being implicated by this ancestor.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know anything, please stop asking."

The Queen heard everything the two whispered to each other. She gave a few words to Doctor Zhang and asked Qiuyao to go back to the Imperial Hospital with him to get the medicine.

When Qin Fengtian saw Qiuyao following Doctor Zhang away, he couldn't stand or walk.

The Queen's eyes kept on him, making him even more uncomfortable.

"Mother." Qin Fengtian walked out from behind the curtain with slow steps.

The queen gave him a look and said, "Come out with me."

He said he was going out, but he was actually talking at the door.
