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

Meng Baiqin did not expect that Meng Wenyao really knew where the queen was, and her trip was not in vain. After saying goodbye, she hurriedly reported back to the queen mother.

Meng Wenyao thought about countermeasures, and the Queen Mother gave a deadline. Everyone would see the Queen in a few days, otherwise rumors would spread.

When the queen appears in front of everyone again, the queen mother will definitely have a back-up plan, either to kill the queen on the spot, or to find an excuse that cannot be refused and take the queen away.

Then the queen must reveal the identity of the queen mother before this, otherwise she may not have a chance in the future.

The key is how to make the queen willingly expose the queen mother, without causing her to betray her temporarily and in turn slander the emperor for spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife.

During dinner, Meng Wenyao told the emperor in detail about the incident and the Queen Mother's conspiracy.

The emperor was a little annoyed and insisted on killing these two people directly.

"You are pregnant, so don't worry too much. If any courtiers suspect that the death of the Queen Mother and the Queen is strange, I will bear the stigma..."

Before he finished speaking, Meng Wenyao blocked his mouth. The two lingered for a long time before Meng Wenyao gasped: "Let me do it, my reputation will be ruined. If I can't handle it, the emperor will take action again." OK?"

The emperor had no choice but to hold Meng Wenyao firmly in his arms and scolded: "Eat first, don't make any more trouble."

"Your Majesty~"

"Yeah, that's right."

That night, Xiao Quanzi brought Wang Hu to the Queen. Meng Wenyao gave her a choice, or she could fly away with this man, on condition that she testify against the Queen Mother.

Or just stay silent and become a bargaining chip in the game between the emperor and the queen mother.

"Empress, if something happens to you or the child in your belly, others will definitely blame me, the imperial concubine, so I am the one who wishes you the most peace in the world."

Meng Wenyao helped the empress clean her face, took her hand and said sincerely: "I know that it has not been easy for my empress these years, so I have begged the emperor to give her a chance to change her ways. I think that my empress is the same as me. I look forward to the early birth of the child in my belly. Only by standing on the side of the Emperor can you really live the rest of your life peacefully."

"It's not my concubine's instigation. If the Queen goes to the Queen Mother, will the Queen Mother really let you give birth to a child and protect you? Don't say that the child in your belly should not stay in the world, even if you really have the Emperor's heir. , will the Queen Mother let him ascend the throne?"

If the Queen really has the Emperor's child, what will happen to Prince Anping? Will the Queen Mother abandon Prince Anping for the sake of the Queen's child?

The Queen thought very clearly that the Queen Mother only regarded her as a pawn.

Meng Wenyao talked to the queen affectionately and rationally for half the night, until the emperor couldn't stand it anymore and dragged her away.

The queen touched her belly. She didn't know how much truth Meng Wenyao had in her mouth.

But Meng Wenyao was right when she said something. If something happened to her, people who didn't know about it would most likely think that the imperial concubine had killed her in order to gain power.

Meng Wenyao at least doesn't want anything to happen to her now, and the emperor probably doesn't want anything to happen to her now because of Meng Wenyao.

As for the Queen Mother, she will protect herself and make herself atone for her sins by eating fast and chanting Buddha's name for the rest of her life.

Or will he assassinate himself and then blame the imperial concubine?

Before the queen could figure it out, Wang Hu was thrown into the room, and she immediately threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly.

Wang Hu had seniors and juniors, so he couldn't make fun of the lives of the whole family. He kept urging the queen to act according to the imperial concubine's instructions.

The queen also knew that if she did anything rashly, Wang Hu would definitely die.

This pair of wild mandarin ducks can now be together openly, which is indeed a separation between life and death.

Meng Wenyao assessed the emperor's expression and said tentatively: "I want to hold a blessing ceremony for the Queen Mother, and then ask the queen to come forward and tell the truth during the ceremony. If everything goes well, I want to ask for a reward for the queen. Can the emperor be lenient? Punish her."

She didn't know the harm cuckolding could do to a man. If the emperor insisted on killing the queen, she would completely understand.

Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't care after hearing this and said: "It's up to you to decide. I just want you not to work too hard. The child is important."

Meng Wenyao hugged the emperor's waist tightly, buried her head in his arms, and whispered: "My concubine and the emperor are fine."

The next day, the Queen Mother became even more seriously ill. I heard that she had been in bed calling for the Queen.

Mrs. Gaoming, who came to attend to the illness, and several upright people insisted on going to Fengyi Hall to invite the Queen. Although she was stopped by the Queen Mother in the end, everyone felt that the Queen had to show her face even though she was ill and was about to die.

Meng Wenyao secretly sighed that the Queen Mother was good at acting, and then asked someone to go to Fahua Temple in the name of the Queen to ask the abbot to pray for the Queen Mother.

The prayer ceremony was scheduled for three days later, and family members of officials above the fourth rank were invited to attend.

After the invitation was sent out, the imperial concubines became a lot quieter, feeling that the queen was still quite humane.

On the day of the ceremony, Meng Wenyao supported the queen and went to the queen mother's palace together.

Wang Hu was under strict supervision, and his life and death depended on the Queen's performance.

Everyone first went to visit the Queen Mother in the hospital bed. The Queen personally gave the Queen Mother medicine, which was added with the nightmare pill that Meng Wenyao gave to the Queen.

"You all should step aside first. The Ai family has a few words to say to the queen."

The ladies were about to bow out, and Meng Wenyao said softly: "I always heard from the Princess of Anping County that the Queen Mother loves the Queen the most. I just believed it today. Both the Queen Mother and the Queen are pregnant, but the Queen Mother only cares about the Queen."

Everyone was stunned. The imperial concubine's words were too direct. Didn't she clearly mean that the queen mother was partial?

The Queen Mother was also embarrassed, then she changed her expression to a loving one and said, "The Ai family didn't secretly give the Queen the heirloom, they just said a few words."

Meng Wenyao pinched the queen secretly, and the queen was stunned and understood instantly.

"Mother, the ritual is about auspicious times. Let's go there first. It's not too late to talk after the ritual is over."

The Queen Mother had no choice but to go out together to listen to the scriptures in full view of everyone.

The abbot of Fahua Temple was chanting sutras for the Queen Mother in the courtyard, and the sound of Buddha filled the entire courtyard, slowly cleansing people's souls.

Suddenly the queen burst into tears and shouted to the mage: "I am guilty. I have brought down the entire dynasty for my own sake."

The Master stopped chanting and asked according to the established procedure: "What is your crime, Queen? If you tell me, I, the Buddha, will be merciful and I will give you a chance to change your ways."

The Queen Mother didn't know what the Queen wanted to do, but she had a bad intuition and scolded: "Queen, don't mess around."

The queen looked at the queen mother and her aunt, and smiled sadly. They were all finished. If she told them, she and Wang Hu would still have a chance of survival.

"I assisted the Queen Mother in assassinating innocent women in the palace."

"what!!"

Some timid Madam Gaoming has already fallen. Can they listen to such palace secrets at will?

The Queen Mother shouted loudly: "The Queen is sick, take the Queen down."

At this time, a group of Yulin guards suddenly rushed in, each with a sword in their hand, and instantly restrained the maids in the Queen Mother's palace. No one dared to act rashly.

The Queen continued: "The Emperor was poisoned when he ascended the throne. The Queen Mother spread rumors that the Emperor cannot touch women. Once he touches a woman, the woman will explode and die. In fact, it is all lies. Those women were poisoned by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is In order to let the emperor die alone."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" the Queen Mother roared with red eyes.
