Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

The Fourth Prince's deep eyes were faintly cold, and he said impatiently: "You are still young, why do you want to adopt someone else's child?"

Qi Yuebin lowered her brows slightly, and with a slightly worried look on her face, she cried, "I was also thinking that Gui Gege was born a palace maid after all, and I'm afraid she won't be able to take good care of the prince's children. I also want to share the prince's worries!"

The Fourth Prince looked at the tears in Qi Yuebin's eyes and felt mixed emotions, but he immediately regained his senses.

The Fourth Prince's expression changed. He smiled and helped Qi Yuebin up, gently comforting her, "Don't be sad. Look at you crying! I'll be with you tonight! As for Li Jingui's child, I have other plans!"

Qi Yuebin was quite touched, as the prince still had her in his heart.

And judging from the prince's behavior, he seemed to dislike Li Jingui and her children very much, so why should he bother with this?

If I could give birth to a child, wouldn't it be much more noble than the child of Li Jingui, a lowly palace maiden?

Thinking of this, Qi Yuebin said shyly, "Then Your Majesty must come to see me!"

After sending Qi Yuebin away, the Fourth Prince breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Su Peisheng coldly and asked, "Is Qi Gege still taking her medicine?"

Su Peisheng hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Your Highness, the small kitchen is under constant surveillance! As long as you go to Qi Gege, the small kitchen will stew a bowl of pregnancy-enhancing medicine!"

The Fourth Prince nodded after hearing this, and he did not forget to continue to explain: "You must be careful about this matter, and you must not be careless!"

The Qi family is also a family of military generals. He needs the help of such a family, but he cannot be controlled by them.

He was not good at martial arts, and was not proficient in riding or archery.

If he becomes the emperor in the future, he will inevitably be controlled by others. Only if Qi Yuebin never gives birth to an heir will he not be in trouble, and the Qi family will always depend on him.

.........

"Fujin, Qi Gege wants to take Gui Gege's child to her room to raise. She has already asked our master, but our master has not agreed."

Huichun has always been responsible for finding out the news in the mansion. When she learned about this matter, she told Yixiu about it as soon as possible.

Yixiu was a little surprised. She didn't expect Qi Yuebin to be so anxious in this life!

Now Nian Shilan has not entered the mansion yet, nor has she been given a bowl of safflower. Qi Yuebin is fertile herself, so why would she want to raise someone else's child?

Seeing that Yixiu was a little confused, Jianqiu expressed her own opinion on the matter.

"It's no wonder Qi Gege is anxious. Many of the women in the mansion are pregnant now. Even Gui Gege, who recently entered the mansion and was a former palace maid, is pregnant. Qi Gege's favor is much higher than Gui Gege's, but she has been unable to conceive, so she came up with this idea."

This remark woke Yixiu up from her dream and she immediately grasped the key point.

She pondered for a moment and said to Huichun, "Go check Qi Gege's diet, including incense and clothing materials. You must be careful about this matter!"

Huichun replied, "Yes," she looked up and asked, "Does Fu Jin suspect there's something else behind Qi Gege's childlessness?"

Although Yixiu had the answer in her mind, she still said, "I hope I am just being overly suspicious. Please investigate carefully and don't alarm the prince!"

I always thought that the reason why the Nian family ended up like that in the previous life was because Nian Gengyao was arrogant and domineering, but the Qi family was very low-key, but...

There are so many women in the palace, and they all have children.

Now that I am in charge of the palace, I have spies everywhere. If someone deliberately plots to murder someone in the palace, I will be the first to get the news, so it is impossible that it was the woman in the backyard who did it.

In this palace, the only person who could do it so cleanly was Yixiu herself and another person.

Huichun searched outside for several days but found nothing. When she was a little discouraged, Doctor Wen came to the palace to check Yixiu's pulse.

Yixiu is now familiar with Doctor Wen. After taking her pulse, Doctor Wen frowned with some worry. Doctor Wen is a straightforward and honest person.

He then spoke frankly, "This baby appears to be healthy, Madam. Please trust me. If another imperial physician were to examine it, they might not be able to see anything else. However, the growth of this baby is causing some harm to the mother. I'm afraid Madam, you will have to suffer!"

Yixiu had been familiar with medical texts since childhood, so how could she not understand the meaning behind Doctor Wen's words? She asked, "Doctor, if you have anything to say, please tell me directly. Do you suspect someone did something to my pregnancy?"

Doctor Wen wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was not a fool and knew that there had been constant disputes in the court over the years. He was just a small doctor. If he was involved in the internal struggles between these bigwigs, he might die without knowing how!

But thinking of Yixiu's care for him over the years, and the fact that a doctor is responsible for his patients, he said, "Please forgive me, Fourth Lady. I'm afraid someone added something to your daily diet. It's fine for ordinary people, but if a pregnant woman eats it, it will make the fetus strong but very harmful to the mother. If we're not careful, there will be two deaths."

There are some things that Doctor Wen dare not say. This kind of thing is usually a secret medicine in the martial arts world.

When a concubine or a slave of a wealthy family became pregnant and their master wanted to keep the child, they would let the pregnant woman take this medicine. This would not only make the child grow well, but would also kill the mother on the day of birth.

Jianqiu was horrified. "Doctor Wen, are you saying that someone drugged the concubine's food?"

She was the one who took care of Yixiu's meals, and now that something like this had happened, Jianqiu couldn't escape the blame.

Jianqiu knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Yixiu. "Please, Madam, punish me. I have always been in charge of these matters. Who would have thought that someone would take advantage of me?"

Why would Yixiu make things difficult for Qiu Jian because of this matter? She knew Jian Qiu's loyalty to her.

There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Even tigers take naps. If someone wants to take action, they will always find an opportunity.

Yixiu asked Jianqiu to take Doctor Wen to check her daily diet and even her clothes, but they couldn't find any clues.

It was not until Yixiu took the pregnancy-maintaining medicine that Doctor Wen discovered that there was an extra ingredient added to Yixiu's pregnancy-maintaining medicine.

This pregnancy-maintaining medicine was prescribed by Imperial Physician Wen. He picked up the bowl, took a sip, then quickly knelt down and said, "Fourth Lady, there's a secret ingredient in this medicine that ordinary people can't detect. If I hadn't grown up in a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, having tasted hundreds of herbs and having a more sensitive tongue than an average person, I might not have noticed anything fishy about it!"

Yixiu slowly closed her eyes, and she asked Doctor Wen to check the medicinal food for other people in the pharmacy.
