The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

A memorial was slowly put down, and the emperor said calmly: "Why are you so happy?"

"The Queen is happy."

"really?"

This is really a happy event, at least it proves that he can still have children, although it is not as good as when he first got married.

Since the queen can be pregnant, other concubines can also be pregnant. The emperor instantly became ambitious. He wanted to spread the rain and dew widely and let the harem blossom and bear fruit everywhere.

As for the queen's child, in order to prevent the Meng family from bringing a prince to order the princes in the future, the emperor decided that as long as a concubine became pregnant, he would immediately abort the queen's fetus, so that the queen's mother could not be valued based on her son.

For now, let's keep it for good luck.

From then on, the emperor indulged in spreading rain and dew in the harem, and Meng Wenyao quietly raised her baby in Zhaoyang Palace.

Half a year passed, and there was no movement in the harem. The emperor thought that six concubines were pregnant in the harem in a short period of time, and it was like a dream.

He looked at Meng Wenyao's growing belly with very complicated emotions. This was his only bloodline, but it was a pity that it was from the Meng family.

After much hesitation, he still did not have the heart to kill her, but little did he know that he himself was also repeatedly testing her at the gate of hell.

In the evening, Gu Shaoyu hugged Meng Wenyao and told him again and again: "No matter what the things the emperor sends, you must not get close to them. If he hands them to you, don't eat them. Just get along with him, Also stay farther away.”

"My lord, you are too anxious. There are so many people protecting you in Zhaoyang Palace, and the emperor cannot openly and secretly harm the legitimate son of the middle palace. Don't worry."

"I understand the truth. I just can't control my worries, so I'd better find something to do for the Emperor."

The emperor had been working hard for half a year, but had no harvest, and was in a very depressed mood. As his beloved Concubine Xu Shu, she thoughtfully prepared a small gift for the emperor.

The gift pleased the emperor so much that he began to stay in Concubine Xu Shu's palace day and night. He was often late for morning court meetings, and later even stopped going to the morning court.

The royal family members and several cabinet elders were helpless and came to Shu Fei's palace together, requesting the emperor to start handling political affairs as soon as possible.

The emperor avoided everyone, and later everyone knelt down and refused to leave. The emperor had no choice but to come forward and meet everyone.

After a few words of comfort, the emperor continued to return to Concubine Shu's palace.

After not seeing each other for more than a month, the courtiers were shocked by the emperor's appearance. How could he be so weak and haggard? The emperor seemed to be only 17 years old. With his thin body and stooped back, he looked like he was seventeen or eighty years old.

Unable to stop the emperor, Eunuch Li, the chief eunuch, was blocked by the ministers and was not allowed to leave. Eunuch Li was about to cry but said without tears: "We are just servants. We can only obey what the masters want."

"Stop talking about the things that are and are not. The emperor's dragon body is damaged, and you all have to bear the responsibility. Come on, tell me, what happened to the emperor?"

Being entangled, Eunuch Li could only hesitantly say: "Our family really doesn't know that it was Concubine Shu who gave the emperor a medicine. After taking it, the emperor became more vigorous and stronger. Who knew that the more he took it, the worse his health became. Our family I don’t dare to persuade him!”

This must be some kind of secret medicine. The ministers exchanged glances and came to Zhaoyang Palace crying.

"Queen, your family and country are in danger, you can't ignore it!"

Meng Wenyao was inexplicably cried by the minister. When did the minister go to the harem to cry to the queen, saying that this ancestral family law is no longer needed.

While everyone was crying, Mr. Meng Ge had already quietly told Meng Wenyao about the emperor. So that's it.

"Everyone, please wake up quickly. I am just a woman. How can I influence the emperor's affairs?"

The ministers who had just sat down knelt down and cried again. Meng Wenyao was so helpless that she had no choice but to agree to everyone's request.

"Come here, ask Concubine Shu to come over with the secret medicine, and then invite all the doctors from the imperial hospital."

Half an hour later, Concubine Shu was brought into the Zhaoyang Palace together with the secret medicine, and the secret medicine was delivered to the imperial physician. After everyone checked it one by one, they announced: "This is the Shenshijiao that Sister Zhao Feiyan once gave to Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty. This medicine is so powerful that Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty died on Zhao Hede's bed."

It turned out to be like this. In order to maintain her favor, Concubine Shu gave the emperor such a domineering powerful pill.

Everyone looked at Concubine Shu as if they were looking at the enchantress who brought disaster to the country. Concubine Shu knelt down in fear, neither crying nor begging for mercy, she just kept looking out of the palace.

Obviously she also knew that begging for mercy was useless and only the emperor could save her.

The courtiers were aware of Concubine Shu's scheme and quickly asked Meng Wenyao to execute Concubine Shu in accordance with palace regulations.

Meng Wenyao drank tea and pretended to think. If she executed Concubine Shu, she would definitely offend the emperor.

And if the emperor changes his appearance after this incident, he will work hard to govern. A good emperor will definitely not tolerate the Meng family who now dominates the court.

An emperor who is greedy for beauty and has no intention of going to court is a good emperor who can make everyone feel at ease.

"Concubine Shu, do you know your guilt?"

Concubine Shu wants to delay, and Meng Wenyao wants to delay even more, so let's chat for a while first.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Shu didn't talk to Meng Wenyao at all, but just lowered her head and pretended to be dead.

"My Lady, don't talk nonsense with this enchantress. Just kill her to avoid seducing the Emperor again and destroying our dynasty."

"Please, my queen, execute the enchantress immediately!"

The public sentiment is so intense that it makes people feel compelled to obey.

"Somebody come!"

"Wait!"

The emperor finally arrived in time. He just took a nap, and his beloved was almost killed by the Meng family father and daughter. It was really heartbreaking.

"Meng, do you unite with the court officials and want to overthrow the imperial court?"

"I don't have it. I am forced to do nothing."

When the ministers saw that the emperor was willing to come out, they all tried to persuade him to make peace: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am asking the Queen to make the decision, and I ask the Emperor to be more careful."

The emperor didn't believe a word she said. He directly picked up Concubine Shu with his big dry hands and left, leaving behind a sentence: "Let's let go of today's matter. If there is another time, I will never be lenient."

Seeing the emperor's retreating figure and Concubine Shu leaving unharmed, some courtiers couldn't help crying: "God is going to destroy my country!"

Although the other ministers did not cry loudly, they shed tears of sorrow. Having such a king is a misfortune to all the people in the world.

From then on, the ministers became increasingly disdainful of the emperor's submission, and two factions gradually formed in the court. The civil servants were led by the Meng family, and the military general Gu Shaoyu was led by them. For a time, there was a rare balance.

In the harem, Concubine Shu relied on the emperor's favor and began to run rampant. Except for the queen and the noble concubine, there was no one she dared to bully.

In the third trimester of pregnancy, Meng Wenyao had no time to pay attention to other people's affairs and was focused on waiting for the birth of her child.

On this day, the emperor rarely came to Zhaoyang Palace, threw down a volume of imperial edict, and said angrily: "Is your Meng family going to rebel?"

Surrounded by the secret guards left by Gu Shaoyu, Meng Wenyao didn't have to worry about her own safety. She calmly took the imperial edict from Aunt Ye, and saw that it said Concubine Shu was appointed as the imperial concubine.

Unlike other imperial edicts, this edict was not stamped with the national seal.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"
