"Really? She believed him? Did you really use it?" Liu Weirong's eyes brightened as she asked anxiously.
Xing 'Er nodded repeatedly and blinked her eyes slyly."Of course I believe it. This is the secret recipe used by the former emperor's favorite concubine. Who doesn't know that the former emperor's favorite concubine, Imperial Concubine Yu, gave birth to the King of Huaiyang with a weak body?”
Liu Weirong smiled. Yes, how could she not believe it?
Noble Consort Yu had already passed away, and her confidant, the palace maid, had followed her, so this secret recipe was buried. However, if there was a secret recipe that was suspected to have been used by Noble Consort Yu, and Fang Zhiying was extremely eager to have her own child, she would definitely rather believe it than not.
She would definitely get the imperial physician to appraise it. The imperial physician would definitely test that there was no problem with the prescription. If there was no problem, Fang Zhiying would definitely use it without waiting.
In this way, getting pregnant was a matter of iron nails.
There was still a month left before she was released from confinement. At that time, she would definitely face the jealousy and vicious hands of all the women in the harem. Now that she had obtained Xing 'er's guarantee, she could finally rest assured.
Although she was pregnant early and had a high chance of giving birth to the eldest son, she had a higher status and a better family background. At least she could share a portion of the hatred.
After all, it would be too eye-catching if she was alone.
Xing 'er's words were successful, but there was actually another layer of hidden meaning. Noble Consort Fang already had signs of pregnancy and would soon call the imperial physician to take her pulse.
This was really good news.
As for the inside story of Fang Zhiying's pregnancy, only Liu Weirong knew about it. Using Fang Zhiying to try out the prescription in the rare medical book was not a bad idea.
Anyway, it was not harmful to her body.
She was only planning ahead for her child.
Of course, it would be best if Consort Shu could also get pregnant. This way, her pressure would definitely be greatly reduced. Unfortunately, she had no way to do it because she did not have the manpower!
It was a delusion for a noble to bribe the people around a high-ranking concubine. It was possible for a eunuch or a rough servant to do so.
White Lotus was confused, but the meaning of his master's words seemed to be to let Xing 'er give Noble Consort Fang the secret method of giving birth.
But where did Master get the secret recipe for giving birth?
However, she didn't think too much about it. She just thought that Xing 'Er had done it.
"White Lotus, give Xing 'er the jade pearl flower hairpin that the Emperor gave her a few days ago.”There would naturally be rewards for meritorious deeds. No matter how Xing 'er did it, it was enough as long as it was beneficial to her.
Anyway, she had never done it before, right?
Even if they searched, they wouldn't be able to find any evidence.
It was convenient to have space, and it was easy to hide evidence.
Xing 'er happily took the pearl flower and touched it with great love. Then, she put it on her head and smiled happily.
Master was generous.
As long as you work hard to complete the task assigned by the master, you will be rewarded.
She only needed to talk to her good friend and casually mention the things that her master wanted her to do to achieve her goal. She did not need to use any tricks to destroy their relationship. Her days were really looking forward to it.
"Master, if we take care of Little Gao, won't it make Eldest Miss wary?”Bai Lian suddenly said with a worried expression.
"Of course, but it will be a month until my confinement ends. When I come out and she sees that not only have I not lost weight, but I am also pregnant, she will know that you are loyal to me.”The corners of Liu Weirong's mouth curled up. Although she had no choice but to give White Lotus a chance, it seemed like it was a good choice now.
Bai Lian nodded. Yes, she would find out sooner or later. She did not need to worry here.
"I'm afraid that Master's relationship with Young Miss won't be able to return to the past.”
"No worries!" Liu Weirong said nonchalantly, sneering in her heart. She couldn't go back to the past. Her original body was dead. This Liu Xiangya and Lady Liu were really ruthless. She didn't know what her original body did to them that they wanted to get rid of her.
Liu Xiangya had even framed her at the palace banquet, ruining her reputation, not to mention letting White Lotus drug her. This hatred was already irreconcilable.
It was good to tear off this surface layer, so that he would not have to face her hypocritical face every time.
Compared to the original, Liu Xiangya's gentle, beautiful, and understanding image had long collapsed.
However, facing Liu Xiangya head-on would be suicide.
In the original novel, Noble Consort Fang had enough connections, but in the end, she was still defeated.
Xing 'er also nodded at the side. She felt that her master's sister was really too vicious. She actually wanted to drug her master.
Her heart was completely on Master's side now.
" After the confinement ends, Master will have to face everyone. It will be very dangerous then…" White Lotus looked at his Master's obviously protruding belly and could not hide his worry.
Liu Weirong sighed,"This is something that can't be helped!"”
The Empress and Noble Consort Fang were probably the first people who wanted to get rid of her, not to mention Consort Hui and Consort Shu. The Empress Dowager probably wouldn't make a move, but she wouldn't protect her either.
The temptation of the eldest son. Not everyone could resist temptation.
She never thought that she would be safe just because Fang Zhiying was pregnant.
She just didn't want the empress dowager to take her child, whether it was a prince or a princess.
At the same time, she was glad that she was pregnant at this time. If she got pregnant a year later, she would not be able to keep the child no matter what, just like Liu Xiangya in the original novel.
Because the Empress Dowager's health would collapse in two years, Murong Che could not reject her request.
That was why Liu Xiangya's child was taken away so easily in the original novel.
Weiyang Palace's Youlan Hall
"Master, our hidden spy, Little Gao, is going to be crippled. I heard that because he didn't follow the rules and entered the main house without permission, he was sent to the Punishment Division by Third Miss!”Bi Shui was a little unhappy as she spoke about the news she had just received. How did White Lotus do things? She actually caused them to lose a hidden pillar.
One had to know that they did not have many hidden formations to begin with. Losing any of them was unacceptable to them.
Liu Xiangya's needle and thread trembled and accidentally pricked her finger. She frowned in pain and quickly wiped the blood off with a handkerchief. A cold light flashed in her eyes."What happened? Why did Xiao Gao Zi suddenly go to Third Sister's main room?”
"This servant also does not know, but according to one of our spies in the Punishment Division, Xiao Gao Zi received Third Miss 'orders to go over.”Bi Shui bit her lip.
"Hmm?" Liu Xiangya's face darkened, and a dark shadow flashed across her eyes. She frowned and asked suspiciously,""Could it be that she found out that Little Gao is one of us? Or did White Lotus betray us?"
Bi Shui was shocked. That's right, why didn't she think of this possibility?
"This servant also does not know!"
"Investigate, I always feel that Rou Fu Palace is a bit mysterious. Logically speaking, the medicine we had Bai Lian give her has already taken effect for nearly two months. Third Sister should be very thin now, but the Emperor goes over to have dinner every day. This situation is very abnormal.”
Liu Xiangya pondered for a moment, her face darkened and her eyes turned cold.
"Also, remember to let us ask Xiao Gao Zi at the Hidden Post of the Punishment Division how Third Sister looks right now.”Pursing her lips, she added.
"Yes, sir!" Bi Shui had a bad feeling. It seemed that Bai Lian might really have been bribed by the Third Miss.
This was not good news.
Liu Xiangya's nails dug deep into her skin. Once again, things were out of her control. If White Lotus betrayed her master, her third sister would definitely not trust her anymore.
She had always thought that Liu Weirong was still the original Liu Wei Rong and trusted her quite a bit. She didn't expect that Liu Wei Rong had already changed her heart. Before this, she was just pretending to be a snake.
At night, Bi Shui finally brought bad news.
Liu Weirong's complexion was very good, even better than before. Could it be that the cold poison in her body was slowly dissipating?
That shouldn't be possible. Mother said that the poison would accumulate. At a certain time, the complexion would become worse and worse, and he might even die slowly.
Since her complexion was getting better and better, she was sure that White Lotus was helping her to recuperate.
As expected, White Lotus had betrayed her master!
It seemed that her relationship with her third sister had broken off prematurely. This was really bad news. But fortunately, she was now on the big tree of the Empress Dowager.
If it was possible, she really did not want to rely on the Empress Dowager. But there were no ifs. Other than the Empress Dowager, she really had no other choice.
The Emperor's loathing towards her had not changed in the slightest.
Liu Xiangya narrowed her beautiful eyes, and a gloomy look flashed across her eyes.
Now that Rou Fu Palace had no hidden forces, she would not be able to control her third sister's movements, and things would deviate from her expected trajectory.
"How can she be so lucky?”Liu Xiangya pulled off the finger cot, unable to hide the jealousy in her eyes.
If only she had drowned that time!
It would be clean if he died, but if he lived, he would only be causing trouble for her.
the Guan Yu Palace
Fang Zhiying's beautiful face was filled with shock and disbelief, but she was more surprised. He touched his flat stomach. Was she really pregnant?
There was only one time when she got pregnant after serving him once. The heavens were watching over her!
"Imperial physician, are you sure you didn't diagnose wrongly?" This imperial physician was the Empress Dowager's man, so he could be considered her man.
His medical skills were superb and he was very trustworthy.
This time, she came in the form of a doctor. After all, her body was weak, so it was normal to call the imperial physician over.
However, Fang Zhiying still had to confirm it.
The old imperial physician nodded with certainty." This humble subject has confirmed that the Imperial Consort's pulse is slippery and she is already a month pregnant!”
"Great, bengong is finally pregnant!”Noble Consort Fang cried tears of joy, her white hands caressing gently. Touching her stomach, her eyes sparkled. Thinking back to last night when Empress Dowager Aunt said that she wanted to support Li Guisheng and let Li Guisheng have a prince under her name, her heart was extremely stifled.
He tossed and turned the entire night, unable to fall asleep, especially after hearing that the Empress Dowager's aunt had summoned the Emperor at noon. When the Emperor stayed at Noble De's place last night, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a mocking smile.
The result of not sleeping well the whole night was that she felt very uncomfortable when she ate today. She even retched when she smelled the fish. She could not help but guess that she might be pregnant, but she was not sure. After all, the emperor had only visited her once.
The chances of getting pregnant were too low. Now that she had received the doctor's confirmation, she was ecstatic.
Now that she was going to have her own child, the empress dowager aunt should be able to give up on her thoughts.
Little did she know that the Empress Dowager would never give up, because she knew how weak her niece's body was. Even if she really got pregnant, it was hard to say whether she could keep the child. If she could give birth, the child would definitely not be very healthy. Perhaps it would be like the current Prince of Huaiyang, a medicine jar.
It was not very useful.
Her four palace maids were also happy for their master and congratulated him.
After instructing the imperial physician not to leak the news of her pregnancy, Fang Zhiying started to get busy.
Of course, the Empress Dowager couldn't hide it.
When the empress dowager found out that Fang Zhiying was pregnant, she was first stunned. Then, she was not happy but angry.
She was angry that she didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth and actually didn't listen to her advice and got pregnant. Recently, she began to feel a little powerless. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to make it through the selection three years later, and the family would send another legitimate daughter of the right age to the palace.
"Mrs. Liu, don't you think Zhiying is too stubborn? I only asked her to adopt a healthy prince, but she insisted on giving birth to it herself. Isn't this risking her life?”The empress dowager said angrily to Granny Liu.
"Empress Dowager, please don't be angry. It's likely that the Imperial Consort only wants a child of her own.”Granny Liu saw through it very clearly. Which woman wanted to raise someone else's child?
Moreover, she was still so young and beautiful. Although the Empress Dowager was thinking for the family, she still cared about Imperial Consort Fang. It was just that Imperial Consort Fang could not understand the Empress Dowager's painstaking efforts.
"What do you mean by a child of her own? Why doesn't she take a look at her broken body? How can she give birth to a healthy child?”The empress dowager slammed the table and scolded angrily.
She was afraid that she would not live for many years. When she was sent to the Cold Palace in her early years, her body was already bad. Later on, she repeated the Holy Grace and carefully recuperated, but she would not be able to return to her past.
The Emperor had been cold and distant since he was young and was not very close to her. At that time, she had indeed neglected him in order to compete for favor. The relationship between mother and son was a little cold.
This made her angry and helpless.
"But now that the Imperial Concubine is already pregnant, it is very dangerous to abort. This servant believes that the most important thing is to protect the Imperial Concubine's child first, and the rest can be discussed later!”
Granny Liu suggested.
The empress dowager thought about it and agreed. Now was not the time to get angry, so she asked Granny Liu to send an experienced nanny over to protect Fang Zhiying and help her stabilize her pregnancy.
In the Purple Mansion Hall, Murong Che was having a rare leisurely afternoon nap. The smooth progress of the political affairs had made him much more relaxed. These days, teasing Noble De from time to time had also made him feel happy.
Previously, the secret alliance between Consort Hui and Consort Shu had been unintentionally destroyed by Noble Li, saving him a lot of effort.
If this Noble Li was used well, it was really a sharp weapon.
As for his mother's request, it made him, the emperor, very impatient.
In the beginning, he was asked to have more of Noble De's cards, and now he was asked to have more of Noble Li's cards. How could he not understand what his mother was planning?
However, she was destined to be disappointed.
The Fang Clan was already so powerful that they were threatening the imperial power. This was something he could not tolerate.
He would not become the second Imperial Father!
The women in the harem could do whatever they wanted. As long as they did not harm his children, he would treat it as a show.
She thought about the news that she had just heard from the secret guard. The sickly Fang Zhiying was actually pregnant.
Murong Che's lips curled into a cold smile. How could that broken body give birth to a healthy child? It was nothing to worry about.
The one who should be anxious is the Empress!
Comparing the two sides, one was the country's father, and the other was his uncle. These two people had used their status to cause him a lot of trouble in the court, but they were also very slippery, so he could not catch them.
Noble Consort Fang was pregnant at the right time. Murong Che narrowed his cold eyes.
"Little Li, get someone to spread the news of Noble Consort Fang's pregnancy.”
