Xiao Rui had doubted Concubine Qing. Everything pointed to her. Yan'er alone could not have done such a thing.

However, since there was no solid evidence pointing to Concubine Qing, he was still unwilling to touch her. After all, they had been friends for many years. Over the years, when the Queen was around, she had been law-abiding, and after taking over the harem, she had managed it in order.

The only thing he can do now is to make up for Song Qingwan a little more...

Qixiang Palace

After hearing about what happened to Song Qingwan, Concubine Shen was extremely glad for her decision that day. Fortunately, she left early, otherwise, if something happened to the dragon fetus in her belly, wouldn't it ruin her whole plan?

I thought her baby wouldn't survive to be born, but I never thought she would miscarry so soon.

And there was Ling Xiangxiang. I heard that she was so scared when she saw so much blood that day that she fainted. She had to stay in bed for half a month before she recovered. But she was lucky that her dragon fetus was not in serious trouble, and she was not as unlucky as Song Qingwan.

Just thinking back to that day, Ling Xiangxiang's baby was moving frequently, but the baby in her belly was not moving, so Concubine Shen asked Zhenzhu to invite the imperial physician over.

After the doctor came

Concubine Shen frowned and asked, "Can you take a look at my pulse? Is there anything wrong? It's been more than five months now, why can't I feel the fetus moving?"

After taking the pulse, the imperial physician stroked his beard and said, "I will prescribe another prescription for your Majesty. Your Majesty is thin and weak. Perhaps it is because your belly is not getting enough nutrition, so the heir lacks fetal movement."

Shenpin had no choice but to say, "Well, just hope nothing goes wrong."

The imperial physician comforted her, "No, your majesty, please rest assured."

After the imperial physician left, Concubine Shen touched her increasingly bulging belly. It was not as big as usual after five months of pregnancy. It seemed that she really needed to take some supplements.

"Pearl, tell the kitchen to add two more dishes tonight."

Pearl raised the corner of her mouth, "Yes, Madam! I will go and give the order right away! I will make sure that Madam and the little prince are fed until they are plump and white!"

Strangely enough, after Shenpin took the prescription written by the imperial physician, she could always feel her stomach moving.

"Pearl, it seems to be moving inside again! What a lively child!" Concubine Shen said lovingly while holding her belly.

Pearl smiled and touched him. "My queen, our little prince will definitely be a man of both civil and military talents, and he will be lively and active!"

Shenpin stroked her belly and thought, this is the child of her and Prince Anling. Once the child is born, the father will join forces with Prince Anling to rebel and push the child to the throne of the future emperor! To sit on the dragon throne!

This child has a huge responsibility.

"Pearl, go get some paper and pen and write a letter to your father, telling him that everything is fine in the palace and that the child is safe and sound. Tell him to wait for his grandson to be born."

Pearl understood immediately, "Yes, I'll pick up the pen right away."

Three months passed in a flash. Seeing that Song Qingwan had recovered better, Xiao Rui quickly handed over the power of assisting in managing the six palaces to her, and also allowed her to accompany the emperor in discussing state affairs in the Yangxin Palace.

Song Qingwan was grinding ink beside her, while Xiao Rui was marking memorials with his pen, chatting with her from time to time.

"Wan'er, I see that you are feeling much better now. Why don't we hurry up and have another one..."

Song Qingwan rolled her eyes at him after hearing this. "Your Majesty has so many concubines in the harem, but you just want to keep targeting me. It's only been a hundred days since my miscarriage, so I still need some time to recover."

When Xiao Rui saw Song Qingwan's little look, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahahaha, I was just joking with Wan'er, but Wan'er took it seriously!"

Song Qingwan looked at him with disdain, "Tsk~ Who knows if the emperor is joking or trying to trick me."

Xiao Rui reached out and touched Song Qingwan's face, and said gently, "I had great expectations for the last child, but it ended up in vain. These days, I've been worried that you won't be able to get over it. I thought that if I had another child, Wan'er wouldn't think about those sad things."

After hearing what Xiao Rui said, Song Qingwan also held his hand tightly.

"Your Majesty, I understand that the people and events of the past are in the past. We should always look forward. Please focus on state affairs and stop worrying about me."

"I will recover on my own. Those who should be punished have already received their due punishment. I believe my child has also been reincarnated."

When talking about the word "punishment", Song Qingwan deliberately paused, reminding Xiao Rui again that he had not touched Concubine Qing.

Song Qingwan looked at Xiao Rui with empty eyes, as if he was in a daze, and said, "Alright, Your Majesty, please approve the memorial quickly! Your Majesty is not only the emperor of this concubine, but also the emperor of millions of people!"

Xiao Rui withdrew his thoughts, smiled at Song Qingwan, and continued to review memorials.

When Xiao Rui saw the talents recommended by Prince Anling, he couldn't help but read them out: "An Shijie, a native of the capital, a talented person..."

When Song Qingwan heard the name, her head buzzed and the movements of her hands suddenly stopped!

How could she not remember this man? In her previous life, this man, who was worse than pigs and dogs, had gone to great lengths to get her, and then tortured her in every way. When she was pregnant, he humiliated her again and again...

"What's wrong? Why did you stop?" Xiao Rui asked after noticing the movements of Song Qingwan's hands.

Song Qingwan forced a smile and said, "It's alright, Your Majesty. It just sounds a little familiar. I wonder what happened to this person?"

Xiao Rui said, "I have been recruiting talented people recently. This is the person recommended to me by Prince Anling. The memorial said that he is very talented and has a heart for the people."

"Highly talented and caring for the people", oh, it sounds so ironic, but in fact he was taking the salary from the court but doing such things as robbing women and stealing other people's children!

Song Qingwan suppressed her nausea and said softly, "Since Prince Anling has described this man so vividly, I think seeing is worse than hearing. Why don't you meet him in private and test him in person? If it is really as Prince Anling said, then Daqing has added talents and it will be a blessing for the people."

"If it is not as stated in the memorial, but rather he is ignorant and poorly educated, and his behavior is vulgar, then it means that some people have received ill-gotten gains..."

Xiao Rui closed the memorial. What Song Qingwan said made a lot of sense. Prince Anling had been behaving strangely these days and it was obvious that he had ill intentions. If this An Shijie had no true feelings or talent and was just trying to fill his court with people, this would be a good opportunity to punish him!

"Okay! Xiao Fuzi, pass on the order and summon An Shijie to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow."

Song Qingwan looked at Xiao Fuzi's back and thought to herself, An Shijie, it's time to make public your fake knowledge gained through fraud and bribery! Let's see how I will deal with you after you enter the palace tomorrow~
