Quick Wear: If I Had Regret Medicine
Chapter 59 Cannon Fodder in Childbearing Literature 7
Mrs. Zhang, who was supposed to live no more than a month, suddenly had a last burst of consciousness one day and recovered from her illness.
At that time, she was still thinking in her heart that it was really a disaster that would last for thousands of years.
But she was very surprised at that time because Mrs. Zhang was a little different from usual.
But she didn't think too much about it at the time. It was only three or four years later, after Mrs. Zhang passed away, that she discovered that Mrs. Zhang and her mother-in-law were not the same person at all.
At that time, her eldest daughter had become the queen, and her husband had been conferred the title of Duke of Fuguo. Even though she had doubts about this matter, she did not dare to show it.
She buried this matter deep in her heart and never told anyone about it. From that time on, the wife of the Duke of Fuguo started to make you afraid of the Duke of Fuguo.
She remembered that one day, a maid in Old Madam Zhang's yard died, the day before she recovered from her illness.
This old woman was thrown directly into a mass grave.
It was said that she stole Madam Zhang's jewelry and was beaten to death with sticks.
That old woman had no children, so why would she steal those things? Even though she didn't want to believe it in her heart, these things that she had long been reluctant to think about suddenly appeared in her mind, and the creepy feeling she had at the time was still there.
The wife of the Duke of Fuguo did not have any evidence yet, but when she had doubts in her heart, she observed carefully in the next few days, but did not find anything abnormal.
And she couldn't figure out who told her about this, nor did she know what the purpose of doing this was.
Almost half a month has passed since we dealt with Zhang Jinxiu's funeral.
That very night, she saw the maid again, who came to make tea for her uninvited. Mo Mo, who was beside her, saw her and wanted to send her away, but she saw her wife shaking her head.
The maid brought the tea to the table and when she handed it to the wife of the Duke of Fuguo, a piece of paper appeared in her hand.
After paying his respects, he left. The nanny was puzzled when she saw this.
"Close the door." The wife of the Duke of Fuguo ordered the nanny.
Seeing her like this, the nanny looked around and saw that the maids were all in the yard, a little far away, so she closed the door this time.
Here, the wife of the Duke of Fuguo unfolded the paper in her hand, and her face suddenly lost all color.
This time, the star only said one sentence, "I'll give you evidence at Shanglin Temple tomorrow!" She knew what the evidence was. She had not rested well during this period and had been secretly investigating.
But she couldn't find anything at all, everything seemed to have been dealt with, and even if she had someone in her hands, she wouldn't know where to start.
Even though she was struggling over whether or not to investigate further, that was her daughter.
If I don't avenge Zhang Jinxiu now, no one in the world will be able to do anything for her.
She had given birth to three children in her life, one son and two daughters. This daughter was a natural treasure, and she had spent the most time and effort on her. If she hadn't suddenly received that note that day, the wife of the Duke of Fuguo would have planned to follow Zhang Jinxiu.
She is only fourteen years old, still as young as a flower.
"Go and make arrangements. Go to Shanglin Temple tomorrow to copy scriptures for Jinxiu." Lady Fuguogong clenched her hands tightly as she instructed the nanny.
Seeing that her face looked strange, the nanny didn't say anything, but turned around and went to arrange this matter.
On Xuanhe's side, the person arranged to be the Duke of Fuguo was the system. God knows how it got a body.
It was only after it went out that Xuanhe realized that even the person who delivered the letter a few days ago was a system.
"System, why aren't you coming back yet?"
[I'm out now. I'm going to a party. Oh, there are novels in this era. Wow, they're pretty bold. Much bolder than the ones you found for me.]
Xuanhe knew that the system had gone to the bookstore again. She was used to it because it went to the bookstore every day in the past few days. There were a lot of books of this type, and they were even more daring. She almost didn't want to leave.
[Why didn't you give the remaining evidence to the wife of the Duke of Fuguo today? ] The system was a little confused.
"You'll understand when the time comes." Xuanhe didn't explain much.
Several major events happened in the capital city in the past ten days, causing great waves.
The first thing, the first thing that Xuanhe released, is a story.
A teahouse in the capital.
"Today we are going to talk about the story of a cat replacing a prince in ancient times and someone else replacing a mother today."
"Once upon a time, there was a high-ranking official named Zhang San. He had served in the capital for many years and was finally promoted to the second rank. At this critical moment, his mother fell seriously ill."
The storyteller stroked his beard and looked at the packed seats under the stage before continuing his story with satisfaction.
"This country is governed by filial piety. Zhang San didn't dare to gamble. Because his mother passed away, he was in mourning for three years. Zhang San was also smart, so he thought of a way. He found someone from somewhere to pretend to be his mother..."
There were many people in the audience who had heard the new story. They were very interested in it at the beginning, but the more they listened, the more they felt something was wrong. Why did this story sound so similar to the one in the capital?
Many people looked at each other and speculated, "This is not..." They must be talking about the Duke of Fuguo.
However, the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion is the Queen's maiden family, so many people did not dare to continue discussing it.
But if the Duke of Fuguo had really done such a thing back then and it was discovered, not only would he lose his job, but even the Queen might be pulled down from the stage.
This story has spread throughout the capital in the past few days, and even the emperor knows about it.
The emperor went to investigate as soon as he heard the news. Tutor Zhang had many students all over the world. Half of the people in the court were his students, even himself.
So when the choice between the general guarding the country and the Zhang family was made, he hesitated for a long time when choosing the queen, but in the end he decided on the daughter of the Zhang family.
The biggest reason is for the sake of Master Zhang.
Although Master Zhang had passed away for many years, his wife was still alive and had only passed away a few years ago.
If the mother of the Duke of Fuguo had died at that time, the position of Queen would definitely not have been her.
The emperor hated being deceived the most, and if he didn't investigate this matter now, he would give an explanation to the people of the world, especially the scholars.
The reason why this matter spread so quickly was also due to the involvement of the General’s Mansion.
Mrs. Zhan looked at her eldest son in front of her. This son had been weak and sickly since childhood, otherwise he would not have stayed in the capital.
"How's the matter going?" Madam Zhan took a sip of tea. She had always been resentful towards the general because her daughter could not become the queen.
After getting married, the general did not stay at home for several years, and it was his daughter who spent the most time with him.
It was obvious that his daughter didn't need to enter the palace at that time, but the Duke of Zhenguo insisted on sending his daughter to the palace.
Moreover, she is not even the queen, and is inferior to others. This is the last thing she wants to see.
Fortunately, the queen has not been favored in these years, and her daughter is the number one in the harem.
Now that there is such a good opportunity, how can she not seize it?
"It's handled. Someone will report his family at the morning court tomorrow, and the things Zhang An did before will also be dug up."
The things that Zhang An had done before were directly suppressed by the Duke of Fuguo and were never spread out.
Even if they were not against the Duke of Fuguo, they still couldn't stand these things, so they handed over the things Zhang An had done to the emperor some time ago.
This was the reason why the Zhang family was punished some time ago, but what was unexpected was that the emperor took it easy and did not punish the Zhang family.
Ultimately, it’s all because of the Queen.
After court the next day, the Emperor fined Duke Fuguo his salary for failing to manage his household properly. As a result, by noon, Duke Fuguo was directly dismissed from his post and investigated.
The emperor's investigation was particularly smooth. The evidence was basically handed to him by others. Even several ministers had evidence, and they all came to the palace to ask for permission to investigate the Duke of Fuguo.
When the queen heard that her father had been dismissed from office and investigated, she fainted, and the palace maids serving her were immediately frightened.
Someone immediately went to ask for the imperial physician, and someone else went to find the emperor.
When the emperor heard that the queen had fainted, there was no expression on his face. He took Gu De'an to the queen's palace.
Just as he arrived, he saw the imperial physician coming. When he saw the imperial physician trying to salute him, he waved his hands in annoyance and said, "Hurry up and check on the queen."
After saying that, the emperor also stepped into the bedroom. As soon as he entered, he saw the pale-faced queen sleeping on the bed.
He did not step forward, but just looked at the queen on the bed with an expressionless face.
Regarding the things that the Zhang family did, the matter of the Duke of Fuguo's mother was originally subject to severe punishment, and there was no dispute at all. However, another thing he found out made the emperor furious.
The Duke of Fuguo was actually colluding with the enemy country. Although there was no evidence yet, when he thought about how the letter appeared today, he kept wondering who gave it to him.
Moreover, this person can come and go freely in the palace and treat it as his home. It seems that the palace guards need to be reorganized.
Doctor Huang carefully checked the empress's pulse, with more and more sweat on his forehead. In the end, he could only kneel down tremblingly beside the emperor, "Your Majesty, this is the empress's pulse, I..."
Doctor Huang hesitated for a long time but couldn't explain it clearly.
"What's the matter?" The emperor looked at Doctor Huang nonchalantly, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"I beg the other imperial doctors to come and feel the pulse. This is about the Empress, and I am not sure."
Gu De'an has already asked people to invite other imperial physicians. This Imperial Physician Huang is really useless when it comes to critical matters.
After other imperial doctors came to take the emperor's pulse, they exchanged glances and then went together to reply to the emperor.
Just now when they took my pulse, there was a smooth feeling under their fingers, like beads rolling on a plate.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Queen has slippery pulses and has been pregnant for one and a half months!"
After hearing the imperial physician's words, the emperor was a little unresponsive for a moment.
He clenched his fists, thinking about the things he had found out today. Now he had mixed emotions about the child in the Queen's belly.
Before today, he was looking forward to having this child, but when he thought of the Duke of Fuguo's conspiracy to rebel, he knew that this child could not be born.
Now he has to completely get rid of the Fuguogong's family. Even if the queen is pregnant now, it cannot change this matter.
He couldn't let the kingdom passed down to him by his ancestors fall into the hands of others. If he didn't have children by then, he would adopt a child from the royal family.
He always believed in a saying that it is difficult to change one's nature, and he could not guarantee that the child born by the queen would be able to protect the country.
It would be better not to be born.
The emperor only asked the imperial physician to take care of the queen and left. He did not even express his gratitude for the pregnancy. This was a great joyous event, but
After returning to the palace, the emperor was invited by several concubines one after another.
The emperor was in a bad mood and scolded everyone.
"If you are sick, just go find the imperial physician. What's the point of coming to me?"
Feeling the emperor's anger, Gu De'an didn't dare to speak. He didn't know where the emperor's anger came from today, and this anger was directed at the queen.
I just don’t know how the queen offended the emperor.
Half an hour later, those people came back again. Seeing these people, Gu Dean complained in his heart.
"Eunuch Gu, the imperial concubine is pregnant. Please inform the emperor!"
The person who came was the senior palace maid beside Concubine Zhan. At this moment, she had lost all her usual composure.
His face was filled with joy, but before Gu Dean could go back to report, he saw Concubine Gu's maid and many of the concubines' maids coming.
Gu De'an complained in his heart that their master must be pregnant.
"Eunuch Gu, our young lady is pregnant. Please inform the Emperor."
Gu Dean: “…”
"Eunuch Gu..."
"Eunuch Gu..."
Gu Dean was overwhelmed, "Stop, wait!"
This is terrible. How come all the concubines in the harem got pregnant on this day? I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, because the Empress just got pregnant, and there was no happy look on the Emperor’s face.
"Your Majesty, just now the imperial concubine, the virtuous concubine, the virtuous concubine, the virtuous concubine... the maidservant beside Lady Gu came to report that the imperial physicians diagnosed these concubines as pregnant!"
Eunuch Gu thought about the recent period when the emperor seemed to have eaten something and favored all the masters in the palace in just a few days.
So the seeds are sprouting together now?
The emperor was drinking tea. When he heard Gu Dean, he spat out the tea onto the memorial in front of him. Gu Dean, who was standing next to him, did not jump out of the way.
"What did you just say? I didn't see it clearly!" The emperor was so scared that he said to me.
Gu Dean wiped his face and repeated what he had just said.
After hearing what Gu Dean said, I began to doubt my ears.
"Go to the Imperial Concubine's Palace!" After saying that, he walked away. When the emperor saw the dozen or so palace maids at the entrance of the hall, he had a headache for a moment.
The maids guarding the door saw the emperor coming out and quickly saluted. The emperor didn't even look at them. He walked a few steps before saying to Gu De'an who was following him, "Call the doctors who just diagnosed them. I want to ask them in person."
The emperor had already received enough shocks today, but the biggest shock was that everyone in the palace was pregnant, and there were eleven of them in total.
He now doubted whether he was...
