Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Since that day on, the Qin family has become much more honest.

But a month later, Meng Yunshang received a letter for help from Fuling in the palace.

Emperor Yuan Qing was poisoned, and not only did he become irritable and angry, he also began to become suspicious.

Even the virtuous concubine was alienated by him.

However, no one around Emperor Yuanqing or the Imperial Medical Bureau noticed anything unusual.

Meng Yunshang arranged for Chai Ziang to enter the palace in disguise and secretly detoxify Emperor Yuan Qing together with Fuling.

After the poison was resolved, Emperor Yuan Qing secretly summoned Meng Jinyou into the palace.

The candles in the imperial study burned all night, and the emperor and his ministers chatted all night.

The next day, Emperor Yuan Qing claimed to be ill.

All the officials were panicked and rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask Meng Jinyou for the news. After Meng Jinyou evaded the question with a few words, they turned to Prince Heng's Mansion.

Visiting invitations were sent to Meng Yunshang like snowflakes, with various names, such as flower-viewing banquet, birthday banquet, and full-moon banquet.

But Meng Yunshang refused them one by one and announced to the public that the Prince Heng's Mansion was closed to visitors.

For a time, there were many different opinions about the true condition of Emperor Yuan Qing's health.

But from beginning to end, Emperor Yuan Qing never showed up, as if he was really terminally ill.

The capital is in turmoil.

Although Prince Heng's Mansion does not receive visitors, there have always been many people who come secretly to test the waters.

The Xuanyi Guards defended the Hefeng Courtyard to the death, while Huai'an led the armored guards to guard the safety of other courtyards in the palace.

Wushan's animal taming skills were put to great use.

At nightfall, even the rats in the corner of Prince Heng’s mansion can stand on their own.

Countless assassins and secret guards went there but never returned.

Time just came to August.

Three months have passed since Lu Chenxiao led his troops to battle.

Meng Yunshang's belly is getting bigger day by day.

Yunniang and Danqiu followed her closely every day, giving her nourishment in various ways.

This sweet burden forced Meng Yunshang to insist on practicing boxing morning and evening.

It is not only for strengthening the body, but also for keeping the body light.

As for Huai'an, whenever he had time, he would stay with his mother, show her what he had learned that day, and read to his sister.

Many times when Meng Yunshang fell asleep, she could still hear the little guy reading in a baby voice.

Lu Chenxiao wrote to Meng Yunshang once every seven days on average, reporting his detailed situation on the battlefield.

The army was not used to the local climate and water at the beginning, but they gradually adapted and then won several battles.

Not only did the Northern Barbarians fail to obtain the five cities of Beichuan promised by Lu Yuanji, they were also forced to lose several cities.

The Northern Barbarian Army retreated again and again, without any chance to march south again.

The three words "Lu Chenxiao" gradually became the nightmare of the Northern Barbarian soldiers.

In mid-August, Meng Yunshang received another letter from Lu Chenxiao announcing the good news.

Lu Yuanji was forced to abandon the city and flee, and the Yuan soldiers were unstoppable.

Just as the mother and son were cheering for Lu Chenxiao's successive victories, news came from the palace that Concubine Xian, who had been bedridden with her pregnancy, accidentally fell in her bedroom and her condition was unclear.

Meng Yunshang's smile faded, and she bent down to ask Huai'an, "The baby in the virtuous concubine's belly is extremely important to the emperor and the Yuan Dynasty. We must keep her safe. Does An'an want to go to the palace with mother?"

Huai'an nodded, "Huai'an, of course, wants to be with mother."

The mother and son packed up quickly and then entered the palace with the armored guards.

Ngoc Buk Palace

The virtuous concubine's hair was disheveled and she was lying on the ground in a miserable state.

The dull pain in her abdomen made her panic and afraid.

She was worried that something had happened to her child and shouted for help.

"Someone, come and save me."

But the person who came was not the palace maid who served her closely, but Concubine Li.

"Don't shout. I have sent all your people away, including Fuling. Even if you shout until your throat is broken, no one will come to save you today."

The virtuous concubine looked pale.

She was not stupid, so she knew what Concubine Xian meant.

But she didn't want to give up just like that.

She stretched out her hand, trying to reach the hem of Concubine Li's skirt, begging bitterly.

"I have waited so long for this child, I don't want to lose him just like that. Concubine Li, please help me for the sake of our acquaintance for so many years, okay?"

Concubine Li looked up and sneered, "Concubine Xian, are you crazy? You actually think I will help you?"

"Don't you know that the child in your belly has long been a thorn in my side?"

"I'll tell you the truth. I will never give you the chance to give birth to this child."

"No, don't do this, please."

Concubine Xian begged desperately, but Concubine Li remained unmoved.

Not only that, she also waved and called in a few sturdy old women.

The maids pulled the virtuous concubine up, and one of them pulled out a long and wide bamboo stick from behind her back and slowly walked in front of the virtuous concubine.

"What are you going to do?" Concubine Xian stepped back in fright, but the maids held her tightly and prevented her from moving.

She shouted anxiously at Concubine Li, "Do you want to murder the heir to the throne?"

"Look at what you're saying. Didn't you drop the child yourself? What does this have to do with me?"

Concubine Li hummed softly and winked at the old woman, who immediately raised the bamboo stick in her hand.

"Don't blame us for being cruel, Concubine Xian. Who told you to get out of bed instead of resting properly?"

The virtuous concubine turned her head and looked at the shiny ground. "It was you. You deliberately greased the floor and caused me to fall."

Then they put the blame for killing the child on her.

Given how much the emperor values ​​and cares about the child, he will surely be disappointed in her if he learns that she has not taken good care of the child.

By then, she would have lost her child and her position as a concubine.

It's obvious that Concubine Li wants her dead.

"I don't know what Concubine Xian is talking about. This is your Yufu Palace. What's on the floor is the fault of your servants in Yufu Palace. It has nothing to do with me!"

"you!"

The virtuous concubine gritted her teeth in anger.

Concubine Li shouted at the old woman, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up!"

"Yes, madam!"

The old woman raised the bamboo stick high and hit the virtuous concubine hard.

The virtuous concubine was unable to dodge, and the bamboo stick hit her protruding belly.

"Ah!" My stomach, which was already aching slightly, twitched even more violently.

The virtuous concubine screamed miserably.

But those old women became even more demanding.

Just as the second whip was about to hit Concubine Xian's belly, a loud shout came from outside the door.

"stop!"

Concubine Xian looked up and saw Meng Yunshang and Huai'an coming in. She bowed her head and begged, "Yunshang, please save my child."

Meng Yunshang noticed with her sharp eyes that the hem of Concubine Xian’s skirt was stained with blood.

She quickly instructed, "Danqiu and Dangui, quickly help the virtuous concubine back to bed."

"Yes," Dangui stepped forward and pushed over the old women, and together with Danqiu, she carefully helped Concubine Xian to the bedside.

Seeing that Meng Yunshang didn't take her seriously at all, Concubine Li stepped forward angrily and asked, "Meng Yunshang, what do you mean by that? Are you going to go against me for Concubine Xian?"

"Not only did you set up lynchings in the harem, you also dared to murder the heir to the throne. Qin Ruoxue, do you really think that no one in the harem can control you?"

Meng Yunshang was very angry!

She originally thought that Concubine Xian had just fallen accidentally, but she didn't expect it was Concubine Li who caused it.

When did Qin Ruoxue become so unscrupulous?

Or maybe she has always been like this, but she disguised herself too well in the past?
