Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother paused while feeding the parrot, "Who are you saying is pregnant?"

Fujia glanced at the Queen Mother cautiously and replied, "It's Concubine Hui."

"Impossible! How could Concubine Hui get pregnant when Qi Ru is here? Unless Qi Ru betrayed me! Fujia, go and call Qi Ru over. I want to see if he is tired of living or if he is tired of living!"

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Qi Ru had just returned to the Imperial Hospital with a heavy heart when he heard the news that the Queen Mother felt dizzy and unwell after her nap and asked him to go and see her.

Of course Qi Ru guessed why the Queen Mother was looking for him, but he really did not betray the Queen Mother!

At this moment, Qi Ru felt that she was more wronged than Dou E!

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"This... Empress Dowager, it is impossible for the Imperial Concubine to get pregnant with her body. Unless she used drugs to force pregnancy. But I can't see any trace of such strong drugs in the Imperial Concubine's pulse, and I can't figure it out."

"Are you serious?" The Queen Mother leaned forward and stared at Qi Ru.

"Really, I dare not deceive the Queen Mother." Qi Ru said.

After hearing Qi Ru's words, the Queen Mother almost immediately thought of a similar incident that happened in the late emperor's harem many years ago.

The Queen Mother took a puff of cigarette, narrowed her eyes, and suddenly asked, "Could this Concubine Hui be faking her pregnancy?"

Qi Ru was shocked. "Fake pregnancy? I didn't think about it that way. But if it was a false pregnancy, it should have shown up in the pulse. Unless Concubine Hui used some secret medicine that I don't know about."

"Secret medicine?" The Queen Mother didn't think that the Gao family had any extraordinary secret medicine. If someone in the Gao family had this ability, Concubine Hui's health would not be like this.

After sending Qi Ru away, the Queen Mother spoke quietly, "I'm afraid Concubine Hui has been framed."

Fujia: "The Queen Mother means that someone framed Concubine Hui for a fake pregnancy?"

The Queen Mother said: "Just wait and see. If she is faking her pregnancy, she won't be able to hide it for long. Someone will eventually reveal the truth."

After Concubine Hui became pregnant, the two people who were nervous were not only Concubine Jia but also Ruyi.

Originally, the Queen had a son, and she and Concubine Hui, the two concubines in the palace, had no children, so Ruyi could still balance things out a little. But when Concubine Hui got pregnant, Ruyi almost broke down.

Just at this time, Ruyi asked惢心 to deliver flower cakes to the Third Prince, and she accidentally saw the First Prince being neglected by a servant.

After hearing this, Ruyi decided to raise the eldest prince.

The eldest prince knew that Ruyi was Hongli's childhood sweetheart and was very favored in the harem. When Ruyi extended an olive branch, the eldest prince also responded.

Ruyi knew that raising the eldest prince was not something she could decide just by asking for it.

So she planned to let Hongli see the wounds on the eldest prince's body when he went to Xiefang Palace. Hongli was furious when he saw his son being bullied by a servant, and he also took his anger out on the queen who held the power in the palace.

The queen was called to Xiefang Palace, and Hongli began to accuse her: "If the queen has no time to manage Xiefang Palace, Concubine Xian and Concubine Chun can help you share the burden! No matter what Yonghuang is like, he is still my child, and I cannot neglect or humiliate him!"

The queen knew that a child like the eldest prince who had no mother would not have a good life, but she did not mean to let the servants bully the master. But she did not know that it was Su Lian who had people deliberately mistreat the eldest prince.

"I know I was wrong. I will send the servants around the eldest prince to the Shenxing Division to replace him with a new group of people."

"No need." Hongli waved his hand to stop him, "I intend to choose a foster mother for Yonghuang."

The Queen's eyebrows jumped, and she had a bad feeling. She hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let me raise Yonghuang? I have raised children before and have experience."

Hongli disagreed, "The Queen has to take care of palace affairs and look after Yonglian and Jingse, so I won't bother you with Yonghuang. I think Concubine Xian is a good one. She has no children, and she will take good care of Yonghuang after she gets him. What do you think, Yonghuang?"

Hongli's words hit the mark exactly what Yonghuang wanted, and he nodded in agreement.

But the Queen did not want Ruyi to have Hongli's eldest son, so she tried to dissuade him, saying, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian and Sister Xiyue entered the palace on the same day. Now Sister Xiyue is pregnant. Who knows when Concubine Xian will have her own child. How will Yonghuang cope with the situation then?"

Hongli frowned and thought, and felt that what the queen said made some sense.

Yonghuang saw that the queen was going to change Hongli's decision with just a few words, so he hurriedly said, "Father, when Empress Xian has a younger brother in the future, I will definitely take good care of him."

Hongli patted Yonghuang's head with satisfaction, "You are very sensible, worthy of being my eldest son. Come on, I will take you to the Yanxi Palace in person."

As Hongli said this, he took Yonghuang to the Yanx Palace without caring that the queen was present.

Whenever she encountered anything related to Ruyi, the Queen seemed to have a Ruyi syndrome, and all the anxiety, worry, uneasiness and tension flooded into her heart.

"Su Lian, Su Lian, Concubine Xian now has Yong Huang. If the emperor takes their relationship into consideration in the future, what should Yong Lian and I do?"

"Your Highness, the eldest prince is only an adopted son after all. Even if Concubine Xian got the eldest prince, she would not--"

"Have you forgotten? The one in Cining Palace is lucky enough to have an adopted son. Otherwise, how could she sit in that position?"

Now Su Lian also became nervous. Su Lian was a person who had no idea what to do, but there were many people who had ideas.

When Concubine Jia learned that Ruyi had become Yonghuang's adoptive mother, she was also worried.

After all, the eldest son is also very precious. If he is allowed to grow up in Xie Fang Palace, he will have no future. But if he is raised by the favorite concubine, what will happen to her precious son in the future?

So, under the instigation of Concubine Jia, the Queen believed that it was Li Yu who teamed up with Ruyi to make the matter of finding a foster mother for Yonghuang. The Queen was afraid that she would lose the emperor's favor and be bypassed by Ruyi without anyone in front of her. She was also afraid that such a thing would happen again in the future. Because she did not know the news in advance and could not deal with it properly, she planned to marry Lianxin to Wang Qin to find out the news in front of the emperor.

This logic seems problematic at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it will only benefit Concubine Jia and will not cause any harm.

If the Queen knew what happened in front of the Emperor from Wang Qin, Su Lian would also know it, and if Su Lian knew it, it would be the same as if she knew it.

At the same time, she can hide behind the scenes very well.

Even if something happens at that time, it will be the Queen's reputation and face that will be damaged, and it will have nothing to do with her, Jin Yuyan.

If he wants to marry Lianxin to Wang Qin, it depends on Hongli's opinion. After all, Wang Qin is his.

Wang Qin felt that Lianxin was already in his pocket, so he spread the news that Lianxin was going to marry him widely. Almost everyone in the harem knew that Lianxin was going to marry Wang Qin.

When Lianxin heard the news, she didn't believe it at first. Then she accidentally heard the Queen tell Su Lian that she wanted to marry her. She felt so aggrieved that she ran to a corner of the Imperial Garden and cried secretly. She was caught by Ruyi, Yonghuang and their group.
