My eunuch An is a yandere
Chapter 18 The Queen is happy
The singing and dancing in the hall were just right. The dances arranged by the Jiaofangsi were always interesting and innovative. Even the emperor couldn't enjoy such large-scale group dances very often.
Looking at the emperor and empress who were enjoying themselves in their high seats, and then looking at Concubine Ji who was about to laugh out loud beside her, Bai Ningwei felt unlucky and wanted to stay away.
She didn't have the energy to analyze whether she was the one who was originally infected, or whether the palace maid was arranged by An Jiu.
She just hoped that Jipin's maid could help her master out quickly.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The maid barely managed to help Concubine Ji to her feet, but she was laughing so hard that she couldn't keep her balance. She tilted her body and fell to the ground with a thud. She also knocked the table surface over, but fortunately, the dishes were still lying on the table, untouched and unspilled. However, the wine jug had fallen over, and the wine spilled onto Concubine Ji's palace skirt, staining a large area.
The commotion here has attracted the attention of some people, but the entire hall is extremely lively. If we walk faster at this time, perhaps nothing will happen.
Unfortunately, after Jipin fell over, she started calling out "The Emperor" with a gasp of laughter.
"Your Majesty~ Hehe... Hehehe... Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health."
Although the voice was not loud, it was definitely abrupt, causing the princes and nobles at the banquet to turn their heads to look.
In the end, it was the emperor and empress who discovered Jipin's ugly behavior.
Xiao Duo narrowed his eyes dangerously. Without saying anything, Wang Xi walked downstairs and arranged for someone to help Concubine Ji away.
If Concubine Ji had been escorted away peacefully, the outcome might not have been so dire. Unfortunately, the substance that had infected her was called "One-Day Drunk," which, upon ingestion, could rapidly render a person unconscious. Because everyone's constitution was different, those infected might burst into tears and laughter, or go mad and mad, like a drunken madman. Only a few would fall into a deep sleep.
This day of drunkenness was originally a way to release my inner boredom and vent my anger. The person who could think of using it here was really extraordinary.
Concubine Ji was supported by two eunuchs and walked out, but she suddenly broke free, grabbed the shawl on her body and threw it out, muttering to herself.
Bai Ningwei was close to her and could only vaguely hear what she was saying.
"Catch some fish! Catch some fish and give it to your majesty."
Ah, this... is difficult to comment on. Bai Ningwei couldn't understand how Concubine Ji, who was also the daughter of an official family, learned this fishing technique.
But now it is no longer a difficult question to comment on. Jipin's action just now is such that no one can pretend not to see it.
Bai Ningwei lowered her head. She could imagine how dark the emperor's face must be at that moment without even looking.
Xiao Duo was truly furious at this point. He was being tortured to death during the New Year's holiday. But he couldn't lose his temper over the concubine's disgraceful behavior. The best way to deal with it now was to tell her about something auspicious to cover it up.
The Queen was the one who understood Xiao Duo's thoughts best. She put her hand on the back of Xiao Duo's hand and smiled sweetly.
"Your Majesty, I have a piece of good news that I would like to share with you today."
Xiao Duo was feeling angry, but when he heard what the queen said, his face immediately relaxed.
"What good news is there in Zitong? Tell me about it."
"I'm pregnant. Doctor Zhang just took my pulse and confirmed it's been over a month."
"Really?"
This is truly a happy event, a great one at that. Xiao Duo stood up happily.
Everyone's attention was attracted by the emperor's actions, and the eunuchs took the opportunity to take Concubine Ji away.
"Hahaha, the Queen is pregnant. I'm going to be a father."
The queen was pregnant, and this was a matter of national importance, so everyone came out, knelt down, and shouted "Long live the queen" three times.
The palace banquet ended successfully. Xiao Duo accompanied the queen back to Fengyi Palace and immediately summoned the director of the Imperial Hospital to meet her.
The person who came was not Imperial Physician Zhang, which made the Queen and Nanny Qin somewhat nervous.
After the director took Ping'an's pulse, he frowned and went to report the results to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is indeed over a month pregnant. However, her pulse is truly worrying to me."
Xiao Duo already had some guesses and was not surprised.
"How to say?"
"Although I am not responsible for the diagnosis of Her Majesty's pulse, I am aware of it. Ever since Her Majesty gave birth to the princess, her foundation has been damaged and she has been unable to conceive again. Now Her Majesty is thirty-four and is no longer as strong as before. I would venture to speculate that Her Majesty must have taken a strong medicinal prescription to conceive this time."
Seeing that the emperor was not angry because of these facts, the director boldly continued.
"Your Majesty is weak. If you force yourself to have a baby, your second birth will be difficult. Furthermore, it's been twelve years since your last birth. I'm afraid the day of your birth will be no different from your first."
The director's words were quite straightforward, effectively giving the emperor a heads-up. This pregnancy was unlikely to be saved, and even if it was, it wouldn't be easy to deliver, and the outcome was unpredictable.
Xiao Duo pinched the Qingming acupoint and nodded to indicate that he understood.
After a moment, he asked again in a low voice.
"Do you know whether this baby is a boy or a girl?"
"Your Majesty, the moon is still young and cannot be detected."
"You will be responsible for the Queen's pulse diagnosis from now on. I want the mother and child to be safe."
"Here."
After receiving the assignment, the director went back to consider how to use the medicine.
The young eunuch carrying a medicine box followed behind him and asked in a low voice, not understanding.
"Master Yuanzheng, you have already told His Majesty that this pregnancy is dangerous. Why does His Majesty still want you to ensure the safety of mother and child?"
"You need to change your temper. Being curious about everything and wanting to know everything will only harm you."
The director knocked the young eunuch on the head, twirled his beard, sighed, and continued walking towards the Imperial Hospital.
Knowing that it is impossible to do something but still doing it, what is the purpose? Is there any need to say it clearly?
Xiao Duo sat outside for a moment, thinking about how he hadn't had a child in his previous life, so why had there been such a big change in this life? Could it be that because he was reborn, God was treating him particularly well?
Xiao Duo was full of anticipation for this birth. The Dazhen Dynasty clearly distinguished between legitimate and illegitimate children, and not having a legitimate son was ultimately a regret for an emperor.
But thinking about Zi Tong's limited life span, he felt that this idea was somewhat unfair to his first wife.
Xiao Duo was very unhappy because of the combination of joy and guilt. So the fault of this matter belonged to the person who gave the Queen blind advice.
So Xiao Duo called Wang Xi and ordered him to thoroughly investigate why the queen was pregnant.
The empress waited and waited in the inner chamber, but when the emperor didn't come, she felt a little uneasy. She wondered what the court master had said to His Majesty.
If His Majesty knew that I was forced to conceive, would he blame me?
Xiao Duo finally walked in with trepidation.
"Zitong has suffered."
No matter what, having a legitimate son is a great joy in life. Putting aside the issue of maternal relatives, Xiao Duo is sincerely looking forward to the birth of this child.
The queen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
"I hope Your Majesty does not blame me for being willful."
"It's just that according to the rules, a woman's pregnancy is not announced until she's three months pregnant. Today, it was really sudden, and I couldn't let the palace banquet become a joke, so I had to announce it early."
Xiao Duo, overjoyed by the Empress's pregnancy, had forgotten the incident at the palace banquet. Now, remembering it, he felt a murderous intent. The Empress was precious, yet because of this bastard, the good news had to be announced so early. If the pregnancy was affected by this, even killing Concubine Ji ten times would not satisfy his hatred.
