Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

Chapter 297 The Forced Undercover Agent: A Shield for the Beloved Concubine (50)

After leaving Luoying Palace, Qi Jingheng did not immediately return to the banquet, but secretly met with someone—Imperial Physician Luo.

Many people in the palace were Qi Qingjia's spies, and there were quite a few in the Imperial Hospital as well. Qi Jingheng was well aware of this and not only made arrangements in advance, but also sometimes used those spies to pass on the information he wanted Qi Qingjia to know.

And Physician Luo was Qi Jingheng's most trusted and trusted physician.

Long before Chu Yun and her batch of concubines entered the palace, Qi Jingheng had secretly given Imperial Physician Luo a task: he needed a target to stand out from the crowd, a target who not only needed to be favored but also exclusively favored, and at the same time, he also needed a "child".

The child was obviously not real. Before the situation was settled, Qi Jingheng would not allow anyone to have his child. For so many years, no child had been born in the palace. The Empress Dowager, Consort Shu, and Consort Xian all thought that the other was up to something. But that was not the case. The real mastermind was Qi Jingheng. He had been taking drugs all along, so it was impossible for any of the concubines to get pregnant.

He was merely a puppet in Qi Qingjia's hands. The child was naturally easier to control than him. Once a child was born, it was hard to guarantee that Qi Qingjia wouldn't consider deposing him and installing the child in his place. At that time, the child would not be a continuation of the bloodline, but rather a death warrant for him.

Over the years, there has never been any mishap regarding offspring, except for Consort Shu, who had an affair with someone and fantasized about using a child to rise to power. Unfortunately, she was wrong. Before Qi Jingheng even had to take action, the Empress Dowager dealt with her first.

"Imperial Physician Luo, you said that the false pregnancy medicine would only take effect after two months, but now Consort Zhao has been diagnosed with a pregnancy of more than a month. How do you explain this?" Qi Jingheng's voice was deep.

Since the medicine prescribed by Physician Luo had never been wrong, Qi Jingheng naturally did not believe that Chu Yun was really pregnant, but only that there was a problem with the false pregnancy medicine.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The false pregnancy drug is a product of the previous dynasty and is strictly prohibited in this dynasty. It has been lost for hundreds of years, and the records are incomplete. I suspect that the Empress's body is weak and she could not withstand the effects of the drug, which is why the pregnancy occurred so early." Physician Luo had also taken Chu Yun's pulse. He was very confident in his medical skills and had a plan in place.

Upon hearing this, Qi Jingheng felt relieved but also a little disappointed.

If Chu Yun really had their child, Qi Jingheng actually thought it wouldn't be bad.

Thinking this way, Qi Jingheng knew in his heart that not having a child was the best thing. He looked at Imperial Physician Luo and said, "Fine, I will entrust Consort Zhao's pregnancy to you. You should know in your heart what medicine should be used and what medicine should not be used."

"Your humble servant will certainly do his utmost." Physician Luo kowtowed to the ground.

Qi Jingheng didn't say anything more and slowly returned to the banquet. Along the way, his eyebrows were relaxed and his eyes were smiling, as if he was really looking forward to the upcoming child.

Those attending the banquet vaguely heard rumors and saw that Qi Jingheng looked very well. Their thoughts raced through their minds. They wondered if this unborn child would change the landscape of the Great Qi.

Qi Qingjia's face remained expressionless, but he uttered words of congratulations, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the imminent arrival of your child."

Qi Jingheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Imperial Uncle. I hope you will take good care of the prince after he is born." His words seemed to indicate that he was certain that he would have a prince this time, which also showed his expectations for the child.

"Of course." Qi Qingjia curled his lips, but in his heart he was not convinced. He did not think that Consort Zhao and Qi Jingheng could protect this child. Were the Empress Dowager and the women of the harem all dead? If Qi Jingheng was really capable, he would not have been childless for so many years.

Inside the Cherry Blossom Palace, Shuangxue, Qiuyue, and their group surrounded Chuyun, their faces beaming with joy.

"Heaven has indeed favored Your Majesty, sending you a son."

"Yes, yes, I heard that Your Highness was unconscious. I thought something terrible had happened. I didn't expect that you were pregnant. It really made my heart jump with each step."

......

The girls' voices were clear and melodious. Although they spoke quickly, they paid attention to their volume and tone, so it was not annoying to listen to. In addition, they all had happy expressions on their faces, which made people feel relaxed. Chu Yun smiled but did not speak, her hands folded on her lower abdomen, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Alright, Your Majesty must be tired today, everyone may leave." Qiu Yue spoke up to stop them, and no one dared to linger, they all took their leave in unison.

After everyone had left, only Shuangxue and Qiuyue remained in the hall to serve.

"The Imperial Hospital just sent over some medicine to help with the pregnancy. I had it prepared and it's all ready now. Your Highness has taken the medicine, so you should rest early," Qiuyue said softly.

Chu Yun nodded, looking slightly tired, but she mustered her strength and said, "Have someone keep an eye on His Majesty's side. Once the banquet is over, call me to get up."

"Yes."

After Chu Yun nodded in agreement, Qiu Yue brought the medicine, served it to Chu Yun, and then withdrew with Shuang Xue.

After the two left, Chu Yun suddenly opened her eyes, no longer sleepy at all.

[Yunyun, isn't Jinjin's trick really effective?] Banjin's voice came with surprise, soft and a little coquettish.

Chu Yun smiled knowingly, "Jinjin is great!"

Ban Jin was pleased with the praise and sat on a high chair, gently swinging his legs.

Chu Yun's eyes flickered slightly. Qi Jingheng prided himself on being clever, so let him taste the bitterness of being too clever for his own good.

Doctor Luo's fake pregnancy medicine only altered her pulse to make her appear pregnant, but Ban Jin's illusion was a complete charade, so realistic that everyone would believe she was truly pregnant. If Chu Yun wanted, she could even have a living fake child.

Since Qi Jingheng intends for Chu Yun to fake a pregnancy, he naturally won't let her actually give birth to the child. Chu Yun guesses that he will definitely use this child to make a big fuss, and then abandon the child at the right time. When he finally makes a decision, he will find that he has killed his own child with his own hands. His expression will definitely be very nice. Chu Yun can also take advantage of the situation and turn against him in a logical way, preparing for the next step of the plan.

One trap leads to another, determined to trap Qi Jingheng completely.

After reviewing the plan in her mind, Chu Yun slowly closed her eyes.

After the banquet, Qi Jingheng went to the Cherry Blossom Palace.

Chu Yun had already woken up. She was wearing a peach-colored cloak and was still waiting at the palace gate.

In the chilly night, Qi Jingheng, quick as a flash, pulled Chu Yun into his arms before she could perform her rites, and led her into the palace.

"Now that you have a child, you should take care of your health. You don't need to come out to greet the emperor. Your health should be the priority."

Shuangxue and the others exchanged a smile after hearing Qi Jingheng's gentle voice, and then quietly closed the palace door.

From inside the room came Consort Zhao's soft, gentle voice, "Both the child and I long to see Your Majesty as soon as possible."

"Really? Did I tell A-Yun myself?" It was His Majesty's teasing voice.

The Empress was probably shy and didn't say anything. A little while later, His Majesty's voice pleading for mercy could be heard from inside the hall.

Shuangxue and the others who were waiting outside felt that the moon was exceptionally round today. Now that His Majesty and the Empress were in love and had a child, life in Luoying Palace was getting better and better every day.
