"How's the situation at Qionghua Courtyard?"
While Xiu Xia nodded, she replied, "Master, everything has been sorted out, without any mistakes or omissions."
"I'm afraid the Concubine's body won't be able to recover so quickly. Go find the doctor at the Zhang residence and ask him to find some good medicine that can be taken orally but won't be discovered, and mix it into the Concubine's food."
"We won't treat her body, but we must completely erase all traces of musk, so that there will be no omissions."
"Yes, Master, rest assured, I will do it right away."
"Wait a minute."
Qingying raised her hand and placed the rice paper on the candle flame. After watching the paper burn out, she spoke again, "Gege Ying, is Fu Jin still watching over you and preventing you from getting pregnant?"
"Master, Qionghua Court stopped giving Ying Gege the medicine half a year ago. I'm not sure if the medicine was too strong and damaged Ying Gege's skin, which is why she hasn't been able to conceive yet."
"The Su family's child hasn't been born yet, and now the eyes of the entire backyard are all on our Qinglan Courtyard."
"It's just that a thief can only steal for a thousand days, so how can you be on guard against thieves for a thousand days? Over time, there will always be omissions."
"Yongji has been staying in Jingren Palace these days, so I'm not worried about anything. But he'll eventually come back. There'll be some commotion in the backyard, and that'll be stable for us."
Qingying never said it explicitly, but Xiuxia already understood what she meant.
This was completely different from the Queen's behavior, but it didn't surprise her at all.
"Master, rest assured, I know what to do."
"Well, I'm always at ease when you do things. Go ahead."
After Xiuxia left, Qingying tore off another piece of paper and placed it in front of herself.
After writing and drawing for a while, I finally put down the pen.
"惢心."
"master."
"Go to Luqiyuan and ask Qing Hailan to come over."
...
Jingren Palace.
Ever since Yongqi was kept by Qingying, the Queen has been holding on to him every day.
Even when she was sleeping, she did not allow the wet nurse to look after her, and only let Yongqi sleep beside her.
The emperor also wanted to stay overnight in Jingren Palace, but was politely declined.
Jianqiu was very happy to see the queen smiling day by day.
In all these years, she had never seen the Queen so...calm.
Naturally, I also understand what this child means to the queen.
But when someone comes to ask for a meeting, it is naturally impossible to just ignore them.
Jianqiu took a step forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Prince's wife is here."
The queen was gently patting Yongqi to coax him to sleep.
Hearing this, he raised his head and whispered, "What did you say when you came here?"
"Looking at the joyful look on Fu Jin's face, I think she has some good news to report."
"Take Hun'er to my bedroom and personally guard her. Then let Dong E come in."
Jianqiu knew that the Queen valued Yongqi, so she carefully took the sleeping Yongqi and turned to leave.
Soon, Dong E supported the maid and slowly walked in.
"Your daughter-in-law pays her respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health and happiness."
"Get up."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Dong E stood up, her smile still on her face. "My daughter-in-law came so suddenly that she disturbed your peace. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"It's a bit awkward for a family to say this. Is there any good news that you want to share with me?"
"Empress Dowager, Mrs. Zhong is pregnant. My daughter-in-law got the news early this morning and rushed to the palace to tell you the good news."
"Zhong family?"
The queen had almost forgotten how many concubines Hongshi had.
"Yes, Empress Dowager, Mrs. Zhong is the prince's daughter. I was unlucky and could not give birth to an heir for the prince. Now that Mrs. Zhong is pregnant, I can finally put my mind at ease."
Hongshi has no offspring to this day. No matter what the reason is, when the news spreads outside, it will naturally be the fault of Dong E, the legitimate wife.
The Queen sighed softly, "It's hard for your child. Mrs. Zhong is a princess, so according to the rules, she can't raise a child. If she gives birth safely in the future, it will naturally be your child if you wish. Just take good care of her."
"Yes, my daughter-in-law understands. It's just that mother and son are connected by heart. I dare not ask for someone else's son. There are few things to do in the palace. I can live my life quietly and peacefully."
