Return of the Princess: The Rebirth of Lafayette

After the emperor and your concubine left, Xiao Yanzi still looked listless, which made the queen feel pain in her heart.

"Little Yanzi, what's wrong with you? If you have any troubles, please tell me."

When Xiao Yanzi thought about Yong Qi being accused of being married to that princess, her heart felt sour and swollen. She just wanted to be alone and quiet now.

"Mother Huang, I'm fine. I miss Ziwei and the others, so I'll go back to Shufangzhai first."

The queen knew that she felt sad, but she was not sure of the emperor's temper now and did not dare to make any guarantees to the children.

"Little Yanzi, let Aunt Rong take you back in person, so that the Queen can rest assured."

"Yeah." Xiao Yanzi responded emotionally.

After seeing the person leaving, Mrs. Shen asked curiously, "Sister, doesn't the Emperor know about Xiao Yanzi and the fifth elder brother?"

The queen was also very depressed. The children had acted so obviously. Fortunately, she thought the emperor knew about it, but it turned out that they didn't know at all.

"Maybe he didn't think about it at all, he just thought of it as a brother-sister relationship."

Mrs. Shen nodded thoughtfully, "Sister, how are you going to break through this layer of window paper with the Emperor?"

The queen rubbed her brows, feeling a little upset, "Don't rush this matter, let's put it aside for a while, and deal with the person who harmed you first."

Mrs. Shen's eyes were red, and she held the queen's hand and was moved, "Sister, I'm lucky to have you."

The Queen patted her hand gently, "Fool, you and I are sisters from the same mother. I am your elder sister. If I don't protect you, who will protect you?"

Just as the queen stood up, she almost fainted from a trance. Mrs. Shen hurriedly supported her, frowning.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Why do I see something wrong with your face? Why don't you ask the imperial doctor to come over and get a safe pulse?"

The queen also found that something was wrong with her body. She had been feeling lethargic and weak recently, had no appetite for anything, etc.!

She thought of a possibility, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she reached out and touched her belly.

My menstrual period seems to be about ten days late this month. Could it be that I really have it?

But when I think about myself being nearly forty years old, will anyone laugh at me?

Mrs. Shen saw that her sister was crying and smiling at the same time, so she pushed her gently.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? I think it's better to ask the palace maid to call the imperial doctor. I see something is wrong with your situation."

The queen came back to her senses and shared her joy with her sister, "Qing Ci, I might be pregnant."

Mrs. Shen was overjoyed and hurriedly helped her sister carefully to the bed.

"Really? It's great. My sister has been looking forward to the stars and the moon for so many years, and she finally got her wish. Yongxu can also have a companion."

The queen saw her sister's nervous look. She was still a patient, and she took care of herself.

"You, you, you are still sick. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. I'm already so old."

Mrs. Shen was staring at her sister's belly. When she heard her words, she spoke righteously.

"Age? Sister, you are only in your early forties. People are still giving birth to children in their fifties. You are pregnant with a dragon heir. Who dares to talk nonsense?"

"Let's wait until the doctor makes a diagnosis." The queen lay on the bed and stroked her belly.

When Mrs. Shen heard the good news, she felt that the worries of the day were relieved a lot, "Sister, do you want it to be an elder brother or a princess?"

The queen's body was tinged with the brilliance of maternal love, and her whole person became much gentler.

"I hope that I will marry a good man and live happily ever after."

A quarter of an hour later, Doctor Hu hurried to Kunning Palace and saw Mrs. Shen sitting there alive. Wasn't she dead? How could she come back to life again? A flash of shock flashed in her eyes.

No wonder that old doctor Wen couldn't shirk away and let himself take the top spot. It turned out to be waiting for him here.

However, Imperial Physician Hu responded very quickly. He kept an eye on his nose and his heart without asking a single word during the whole process. Imperial medicine is a dangerous profession. Only by looking and asking less can you live longer.

After checking his pulse, he quickly knelt down and congratulated the Queen, "Congratulations to the Queen, congratulations to the Queen. You are already one month pregnant. I will prescribe some anti-fetal medicine for you. Please do not think too much recently, lest you make any mistakes. .”

All this happened to be heard by Aunt Rong who returned to Kunning Palace. She took three steps and two steps at a time, rushed forward and grabbed Dr. Hu's sleeve.

"Mr. Hu, please say it again, I didn't hear you clearly."

"Aunt Rong, let go first." Doctor Hu tried to pull out his sleeve to avoid suspicion, but Aunt Rong was so strong that his face turned red and he couldn't even pull it out.

Aunt Rong let go of her hand in disgust and took a few steps back, "You are so old, I don't know what you are afraid of. I don't even dislike you, but you dislike me."

Seeing that Aunt Rong was still so energetic, Mrs. Shen said with a smile, "Aunt Rong, don't scare Dr. Hu. The Empress is one month pregnant, and everything from now on depends on you."

Upon seeing this, Doctor Hu quickly left. He wanted to go back and have a good talk with Lao Wen, tricking people without blinking an eye.

Aunt Rong knelt on the ground, blaming herself, "Mother, it's all my fault for my negligence. I didn't even know you were pregnant. Please punish me, otherwise I will feel really guilty."

How could the queen be angry with her? She and she had gone through so many ups and downs over the years in the palace. The two of them had long been in love with each other.

"Mother Rong, get up quickly, I'm still counting on you to take care of the child."

The queen knew that she would feel better only if she said this.

After Nanny Rong stood up, she asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, does the Emperor know about your pregnancy?"

The queen shook her head, "I don't know. I'm a little dizzy tonight too. I guess she might be pregnant."

Aunt Rong looked serious and said, "Madam, from today on, all your daily life will be handled by me personally, and no one else will be allowed to touch you."

The Queen was worried that her body wouldn't be able to bear it, so she reminded her, "It's only been a month, so don't be so nervous. There are still nine months to come. You are also old, how can you endure it?"

"Your Majesty's affairs are more important to me than anything else, and this little pain is nothing."

Grandma Rong didn't take it seriously. She was usually pampered, raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time. How could she be held back at the critical moment?

It has been very difficult for Mrs. Shen to hold on until now despite her illness. "Sister, I'm going to have a rest. You should go to bed quickly. Now that I'm pregnant, I can't stay up late."

At midnight, the palace was not as bustling as it was during the day. The palace doors were closed tightly, and the sound of the uniform footsteps of the guards patrolling the night could be heard from the palace walls, mixed with the crackling sound of torches.

Xiao Jian was flying in the air in black clothes. During the day, under Yong Qi's explanation, he had a general understanding of the layout of the palace. After avoiding the detection of the guards, he finally arrived at the gate of Cining Palace.
