Just as we were carefully observing our surroundings, trying to catch any unusual signs, a sudden change broke the tranquility of the moment.

The cat named Matsuko had suddenly appeared from a corner, with an indescribable light flashing in its eyes, as if it was planning a shocking action.

Before we could react, Songzi had already rushed towards Fuchapin like a black lightning. Its movement was so fast, like an arrow from a bow, it instantly crossed a distance of several feet and rushed straight towards Fuchapin.

Fuchapin was obviously frightened by the sudden attack. She screamed and waved her hands instinctively, trying to resist the sudden disaster. However, under the swift attack of Songzi, her struggle seemed so powerless.

It happened in a flash. I was quick-witted and stretched out my hand to firmly grab Fuchapin's sleeve.

At that moment, I seemed to feel the fear and helplessness surging violently in her body, but I still held her firmly, trying to slow down her fall.

At the same time, Xiao Tao also showed her amazing reaction ability. Almost at the same time as Songzi launched the attack, she had already determined where Fu Chapin was about to fall, and rushed over without hesitation, using her body as a natural cushion for Fu Chapin.

"boom--"

After a loud bang, Concubine Fucha and Xiaotao fell to the ground together.

Thanks to Xiaotao's timely appearance and heroic spirit of sacrifice, Concubine Fucha did not fall directly on the hard stone floor, but was cushioned by Xiaotao's soft and tough body.

However, even so, Xiaotao was still grimacing with a look of pain on her face.

Tears glistened in her eyes, but her expression was extremely firm, as if telling me:

"My lady, I'm fine, don't worry."

At the same time, Concubine Fucha and Zhen Huan both fell to the ground due to this sudden incident.

Their faces were filled with fear and helplessness, their clothes disheveled, their hair tangled, and they looked quite miserable. The surrounding maids and eunuchs cried out in shock, some hurried forward to support Concubine Fucha and Zhen Huan, while others were busy chasing after the troublesome Pine Nut Cat. The entire palace was instantly plunged into chaos.

"Go get the imperial physician! Help Concubine Fucha go to the side hall and rest!"

......

"The Queen Mother is safe."

The Queen Mother hurried over and looked around at everyone:

"Everyone, get up. I came here as soon as I heard about it. How is Concubine Fucha?"

"The imperial physician has prescribed medicine to help maintain the pregnancy."

As soon as the Queen finished speaking, Concubine Qi said hurriedly:

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, Concubine Fucha is so pitiful. The cat in the Queen's palace got angry and pounced on Concubine Fucha. Concubine Fucha was hit and frightened, which is why she is like this."

"Where's that beast?"

"I have already ordered someone to catch it."

Then the imperial physician Zhang Mi reported to everyone:

"Reporting to the Queen Mother and the Empress, Concubine Fucha is fine. She was just frightened and had some minor scratches when she fell, but her life is not in danger. She will recover after a little rest."

Upon hearing this, the Queen and Jianqiu looked at each other at the same time.

A complex expression of surprise and displeasure flashed across the Queen's face, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she were experiencing a shift of emotions in an instant. Her deep eyes held both surprise at Concubine Fucha's safety and hidden anger at the failure of her plan.

Seeing this, Jianqiu quickly lowered her head, not daring to look directly into the Queen's eyes, for fear of angering the ruler of the palace.

The Queen's expression must have been due to her anger and disappointment that her carefully planned plan had not gone as she wished.

However, the queen was a deep and cunning woman after all. She quickly adjusted her mood and said in a tone that seemed compassionate but actually contained hidden meanings:

"Amitabha, this is wonderful! This is wonderful! It is the greatest blessing in this palace that Concubine Fucha is safe. As the mistress of the six palaces, I must do my best to ensure the well-being of every sister. Pass the order down and prepare the best medicinal herbs and supplements for Concubine Fucha. I must make sure she recovers soon."

At this time, Zhen Huan moaned softly beside her, attracting the Queen Mother's attention:

"What happened to Lady Wan?"

The Queen replied respectfully:

"Wan Guiren fell while trying to save Fu Chapin, and she might have hurt herself. And there's also Concubine An. Imperial Physician, go check on Wan Guiren and Concubine An."

"Yes."

Zhang Mi felt Zhen Huan's pulse and said:

"Congratulations, my lady, you are two months pregnant."

As soon as Zhang Mi finished speaking, it was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, causing ripples.

He said that Zhen Huan was pregnant. Although I expected this news, the concubines obviously had not anticipated this turn of events. Their faces showed a mixture of surprise and envy.

"My lady..."

At this time, Xiaotao gently pulled my sleeve:

"Your Majesty, the Oleander Elf has another mission! This time it's to deliver Zhen Huan's fetus safely! The reward is 7% of the grace index."

Again.

I quickly adjusted my expression and pretended to be as surprised as everyone else. I joined everyone in congratulating Zhen Huan and congratulating her on the upcoming new life.

The Queen was pretending to be happy again:

"This is truly a blessing from Heaven, a blessing for our Great Qing. I will do my utmost to ensure the well-being of Concubine Wan and her child. Send out orders to prepare the best pregnancy-maintaining medicines and nourishing supplements, the same as those for Concubine Fucha, so that they can rest assured and nurture their pregnancies without worries."

The Queen's eyes subtly turned to me, with a subtle hint of temptation and deep meaning:

"And Concubine An, she also fell to the ground just now. Although there are no obvious injuries, just to be on the safe side, Imperial Physician Zhang Mi, please take Concubine An's pulse again. If Concubine An is also pregnant, it would be a double blessing... oh no, a triple blessing! I would be so overjoyed."

Upon hearing the voice, Imperial Physician Zhang Mi hurried forward and respectfully took my pulse.

After a moment, Zhang Mi's face showed surprise. He slowly stood up and reported to the Queen:

"Congratulations, Her Majesty. Concubine An's pulse is stable and she's fine. As for the pregnancy... Her Majesty's predictions are as accurate as a god."

Imperial Physician Zhang Mi's words echoed in the empty palace, and every word was clearly heard by everyone.

Everyone seemed to be anticipating his next half sentence—the sentence that would stir up another uproar:

"Empress An is also pregnant."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent and the palace fell into a brief silence.
