Rong Fei is not honored

Concubine Irgen Jueluo looked at Zhaojia with poison in her eyes, but she saw that the other party was not only not happy, but also anxious.

Concubine Yiergen Jueluo put aside her resentment and raised her eyebrows. Sure enough, the next moment, she heard the Empress Dowager ask in dissatisfaction: "How many months has Zhaojia been pregnant? How come I didn't know?"

The imperial physician who examined the patient replied, "It has been more than a month."

The Empress Dowager asked again, "Which imperial physician was the one who checked Zhao Jia's pulse before? Didn't he find out the pulse last time?"

Su Malagu reported back: "The imperial doctors who check the pulse of the masters are all good at gynecology, and the imperial doctors who came today were specially selected and are more proficient in poisons." The implication is that no one came.

The Grand Empress Dowager did not say anything else, but everyone knew that the imperial physician was doomed. Whether he was not skilled in medicine and really failed to diagnose the disease, or was bribed by Zhao Jia to help conceal it, the Grand Empress Dowager would not forgive him.

Concubine Zhaojia looked defeated. She knew that she shouldn't hide it from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and she also knew that doing so was risky, but she just wanted to protect her child.

God knows, when Concubine Zhaojia found out she was pregnant, her first reaction was not joy, but fear.

Her first child was lost in a ridiculous "accident", and it was only then that Concubine Zhaojia knew of the child's existence. Now that the queen is alive and even shows signs of returning, how can Concubine Zhaojia not be afraid?

So, when the imperial physician announced the good news, Concubine Zhaojia's brain had not yet reacted, but her body had already responded - she knelt down in front of the imperial physician.

Concubine Zhaojia begged the imperial physician to keep the matter a secret for her first, and then she used all her savings to bribe the other party, and only then was the matter concealed.

She originally thought that she would find a suitable opportunity to tell His Majesty, and then release the news after three months. However, she never expected that things like this would happen today.

Ji Nai gave Nara a look. When Huipin saw it, she was unwilling. Zhaojia made a stupid mistake herself, so what did it have to do with her?

But then Huipin thought of how Hesheli rushed towards her like a madman when Chenghu died. If Majia was the same as her, just wanting to watch coldly, her son Yinzhen might not be born safely.

After thinking about it, Huipin finally softened her heart and compromised with Rongpin. She followed her wishes and pleaded with the Grand Empress Dowager, "Grand Empress Dowager, Zhaojia's belly is only a little over a month old. If her mother is weak and the pregnancy is not obvious, it is possible that the imperial physician did not diagnose it."

Everyone knows that the imperial doctors who can treat the royal family are all risking their lives. There is no one who is not skilled in medicine. How could they not be able to detect the signs of pregnancy for more than a month? What Huipin said was just an excuse.

But what surprised everyone was that Huipin Nara had always been arrogant and proud. Although she had lost her power and was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before, she still looked down on everyone in the palace equally in essence. However, today she actually spoke up for Concubine Zhaojia.

Even the Grand Empress Dowager was surprised. If it was Concubine Rong who said this, she would think it was natural, but for Concubine Hui... it was hard not for the Grand Empress Dowager to suspect whether she was deliberately showing favor to Zhaojia in order to form a clique.

Ji Nai saw that the Empress Dowager was worried, and advised in a pointed way: "Concubine Zhaojia is not a heartless person. She is like a mother in the world. She loves her son sincerely. How could she deliberately put the child in danger? Please don't bother with her for the sake of the heir."

If Huipin was trying to excuse Concubine Zhaojia, then Ji Nai was sending a signal to the Empress Dowager in a joking manner: Concubine Zhaojia concealed her pregnancy because she was afraid of the Empress.

Such a reason is really hard to talk about, and it makes His Majesty and the royal family lose face. Even if you don't like Concubine Zhaojia's behavior, it's better to be gentle with her. If you really push her to the limit, what if Concubine Zhaojia says something she shouldn't say when she begs for mercy...

The Empress Dowager understood what Concubine Rong meant, and then looked at the quail-like Zhao Jia, realizing that she was not the kind of person who thought a lot. Even if she was dissatisfied, she would not do anything to her for the sake of the royal heir in her belly.

After giving her this respect, the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "I am not a tiger that will eat people. I am just worried that something bad will happen to Zhao Jia and her son. You two are talking back and forth as if I am too harsh to others."

Huipin joked, "Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager is the most kindhearted. If anyone misunderstands you, I will be the first to disagree."

"Alright, alright, I know you are just like me, you are all confused because of your concern."

As they talked and laughed, the storm was resolved, and Concubine Zhaojia breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui with gratitude. However, Concubine Yiergenjueluo felt that the two were meddling in other people's affairs and was somewhat unhappy.

After all the concubines had their pulses checked, the imperial physician representative reported back: "Most of the masters are only slightly unwell and will recover after a period of good care. However, the conditions of a few masters are more serious..."

The several concubines who were specifically mentioned by the imperial physician looked pale, as if their world was falling. His Majesty's harem was not short of people, and they had no advantages to begin with. Now they were injured. Do they still have a future?

Fortunately, the imperial physician said that they still have a chance of recovery, but it will take a long time. Although the more time passes, the less trust people in the palace will have, and the slimmer the chances of making a breakthrough will be, but it is better than seeing no hope, isn't it?

After the goal was achieved, the Empress Dowager no longer detained anyone and showed fatigue on her face. Ji Nai and Huipin tactfully left with a group of concubines.

Before leaving the Cining Palace, Concubine Zhaojia hurriedly caught up with her, scaring the palace servants behind her half to death.

Ji Nai and Huipin stopped and looked at Concubine Zhao Jia with frowns. Although Ji Nai did not agree with Zhao Jia's behavior, he did not say anything.

Instead, Huipin directly rebuked, "Rongpin and I just helped you, and so soon, Concubine Zhaojia wants to repay kindness with enmity?"

Concubine Zhaojia blushed, slowed down her pace, and said in defense: "I didn't, I just wanted to thank you two sisters."

"But if you had fallen or got hurt just now, we two wouldn't be able to explain it. Is this how you thank you?" Huipin understood clearly that Zhaojia was not just a person with many thoughts, but was really stupid.

Ji Nai didn't want the two to continue arguing, so he spoke up to smooth things over, "No need to be like this, Concubine Zhaojia. Concubine Hui and I only said a few more words because we are considering the royal heir in your womb."
