Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

Facing the Queen's anger, the young eunuch replied calmly, "Please calm down, Your Majesty. The Queen Mother does not need to observe mourning herself, but those who serve her do."

"What difference does it make? This is the Queen Mother's residence, not a place for funerals. Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of attracting criticism?"

Ignoring the Queen's indignant expression, he continued, "The Imperial Concubine is a person of boundless blessings. The accident that occurred in the Queen Mother's bedroom indicates that there is a foul aura in the place. Therefore, Your Majesty intends to give these servants a chance to liberate their souls."

Then he added, "If the Empress objects to this, His Majesty has said that we can also invite monks from Hongfu Temple to perform rituals in the palace to eliminate the evil spirits here."

The Queen Mother's face was gloomy. She said slowly, "Well, everyone, please leave. I am tired."

"But Queen Mother..."

The queen wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that the queen mother had already gone far away, she had to return to her palace silently.

Looking back, when the Imperial Noble Consort first entered the palace, she had already brought shame to her as the Queen.

Now, the Imperial Noble Consort unfortunately suffered a miscarriage, which even began to affect the reputation of the Empress Dowager.

The situation has changed dramatically. If we do not take action, we will just sit there and wait for death.

As the queen, she is the real mistress of this country.

The queen had a batch of high-quality nourishing medicinal herbs prepared. However, before these gifts arrived at Xuanyang Palace, they were intercepted by Xiao Linzi and moved aside for storage.

The entire palace was plunged into a depressing atmosphere due to the Imperial Noble Consort's miscarriage. People hardly dared to breathe loudly while walking, especially in the Shenxiu Hall, where part of the area had been blocked off.

Wei Lanqian seemed to have disappeared into thin air. No one mentioned her name again, as if she had never existed.

Occasionally, Prince Yongning would stare blankly at the enclosed space, and Shen Lingwei would step forward to comfort him, saying, "It was all my fault for not being able to protect the Imperial Concubine that day. If I had done a better job, perhaps Sister Lan Qian wouldn't have been implicated by that cat, and thus her family."

Prince Yongning asked in confusion, "It's just a kitten, why did it suddenly go crazy?"

Shen Lingwei pretended to press the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and replied, "Maybe there really is something ominous?"

"No, as far as I know, any abnormal behavior of an animal is definitely due to external stimuli, and there must be someone behind it."

Shen Lingwei tightly grasped the silk handkerchief in her hand, remembering a special spice she brought back when she went back to Shenxiu Hall to change clothes. This thing could make cats crazy, so she took the opportunity to sprinkle some on Shen Muxue, which caused the cat to pounce on her all the time.

The troublesome cat was dealt with immediately, so there won't be any loopholes left, right?

"Your Highness, please do not overthink this matter any further. This matter has finally been settled. It would be best not to cause any new trouble."

Hearing this, Prince Yongning reluctantly suppressed the doubts in his heart. After all, he had made a lot of profit this time.

The emperor lost an heir and his position became more secure.

At this stage, we must be more low-key and cautious.

Then he asked, "Have you visited the Imperial Concubine?"

Shen Lingwei sighed softly upon hearing this: "I have tried to go and greet you every day, but the Emperor keeps a very strict watch on the Imperial Concubine. I haven't had the chance to set foot in Xuanyang Palace in the past month."

After hearing his wife's words, Prince Yongning could only shake his head and sigh helplessly.

The newlyweds should have been immersed in joy, but unexpectedly they encountered many twists and turns from the very beginning. After a month, they got along as dull as an old married couple.

Whenever she thought of this, Shen Lingwei felt a little depressed and stroked her belly. If the prince didn't want to touch her, when would she be able to get pregnant?

Over the past month, despite trying her best, the Queen still couldn't convey her feelings to Xuan Yang Palace, which made the Queen very anxious. If this situation continues, when will she be able to personally get rid of the worry about Shen Muxue?

When they learned that His Majesty had finally walked out of Xuanyang Palace with Shen Muxue, everyone was very excited and came to meet him.

After a month of rest, Shen Muxue looked much better and her cheeks became a little rounder.

As soon as she finished her confinement, she couldn't wait to take His Majesty out for a walk.

The two of them were strolling in the imperial garden, and soon they saw the queen leading a large group of people coming towards them.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Has my sister's health improved?"

Just as Shen Muxue was about to stand up to return the greeting, His Majesty's big hand held her down, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.

"Her constitution is still weak, so there's no need to pay too much attention to these etiquettes."

Hearing this, the Empress faltered slightly, forcing a smile. "I, of course, don't care about such details. It is my great joy that my sister can continue Your Majesty's family line. I am heartbroken every time I think of Your Majesty's childlessness. Last night, I dreamt of the late Emperor, who told me that if I went with Your Majesty to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to pray for blessings for three days, Your Majesty would soon have an heir."

Hearing this, Shen Muxue's eyes widened, not understanding what the Queen meant.

Could it be that since Your Majesty himself has no obstacles, other concubines can also receive the favor and become pregnant?

His Majesty gently stroked Shen Muxue's hand to comfort her, "The Imperial Concubine has just recovered. I am worried that premature pregnancy will be detrimental to her health. The Queen will step down."

The Queen hesitated to speak, and finally chose to leave under the cold gaze of His Majesty.

She thought hard for a long time and finally came up with a plan: as long as she had the opportunity to be with His Majesty and light the special incense, she would definitely be favored.

At that time, she would declare that she was a person protected by her ancestors and could give birth to children for the royal family. This would make sense.

After successfully gaining the favor of His Majesty, she plans to find a strong man to help her conceive.

Of course, the intention was not to tarnish the royal bloodline, but to use the child to cause trouble for the imperial concubine.

If she were pregnant and the imperial concubine accidentally offended her at an appropriate moment, she would probably be sentenced to death.

Considering that the emperor's attitude just now did not seem to be in a hurry, she temporarily changed her strategy and decided to try to get herself pregnant first. After she got pregnant, she would find an opportunity to sleep with the emperor and count the fetus as the emperor's.

After thinking this over, the queen seemed less anxious and left meekly.

Shen Muxue, who stood aside and watched the whole process quietly, found that the Queen's visit today was too sudden.

If she hadn't known that the Queen didn't spend much time with His Majesty and they were like strangers, she would have almost mistakenly thought that the other party was trying to steal his favor.

Especially the affectionate look in the Queen's eyes when she looked at Your Majesty just now, and the hesitant expression on her face when she was leaving, how could it be that she was in love.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the Queen doesn't seem to be afraid of you."

There was something behind Shen Muxue's words, how could the emperor not know it?

He hugged her, his nose gently caressing her neck.

"Although I was poisoned by the virtuous concubine, the empress dowager may have also had a hand in it. Previously, I thought I would not be able to leave an heir and would eventually return to dust, so I was a little lenient with them. But now it seems that I was too merciful."
