After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

Changchun Palace was unusually quiet; the only sound in the room was the footsteps of Concubine Qi walking back and forth.

"Cui Guo, did you see An Chang eating it with your own eyes?"

Cuiguo shook her head timidly and told Concubine Qi: "I saw Concubine An and Concubine Wan put the chestnut cake to their mouths and then took it down. I guess they ate it as soon as I left."

"But it's been more than an hour, so the disease should have started. Is it because An Changzai is too strong, or is it because I didn't give him enough medicine?"

Cui Guo felt sorry for it, but she didn't dare to say anything. She could only comfort Concubine Qi, "Your Majesty, let's be patient. The imperial physician said that Concubine An's pregnancy is stable. Maybe it will take more time for the pregnancy to develop."

Concubine Qi looked at Cuiguo with complicated eyes, feeling a little annoyed, and waved her hand to send her away.

Tonight is the night of the full moon on the 15th. The Emperor put aside his government affairs early and came to Jingren Palace. After washing up, the two of them sat in the reclining chairs and talked. The Emperor told the Empress about Concubine Qi's plot to murder An Changyi.

The queen was very shocked, her face changed instantly, "Your Majesty, it was my fault for not disciplining him properly and failing to supervise and manage him in time. But how could Concubine Qi be so cruel as to do such a thing as harming the heir to the throne? It is really puzzling."

The emperor picked up a piece of cake and took a bite, then said dissatisfiedly, "This cake is too sweet, and it makes me sick."

The queen was a little surprised. The taste of the cakes in her palace had never changed. The emperor had always liked them. Why did he feel that they were too sweet today? She quickly confessed her guilt and asked Jianqiu to remove the plate.

"So how does the emperor plan to deal with this matter?" The queen's face was filled with worry, and she exuded an air of virtuousness as if she was anxious for the emperor.

The emperor took a sip of tea to rinse his mouth, and then said calmly: "After all, Hongshi is my eldest son, and Concubine Qi is his biological mother. If I punish Concubine Qi too severely, it will probably affect Hongshi's academic progress. Besides, Hongshi will lose face and it will affect his future."

"The emperor..."

The queen hurriedly opened her mouth, wanting to give the emperor some advice, but the emperor interrupted her.

"But if I indulge her, her actions are really vicious and cruel. I am worried that others will imitate her and then the concubines will harm each other. This is what I don't want to see the most."

The emperor frowned unhappily, and the Chinese character "川" (chuan) formed between his eyebrows.

After hearing this, the Queen's eyes were filled with a hint of sadness. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Concubine Qi probably did this for the Third Prince. Although parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run, Concubine Qi has gone too far and is too cruel.

The Emperor wants to appease Concubine An, but he doesn't want to really hurt the Third Prince's feelings. In the past, he blamed me for being careless and not careful enough, which led to this incident.

It would be better to send the Third Prince to Jingren Palace first. I will definitely teach him well, so as not to make him sad.

Second... For Concubine Qi, the temporary separation of mother and son is also a punishment for her. When An Changzai's anger subsides and the emperor feels the time is right, he can let Concubine Qi take the third prince back to raise him. What do you think?"

The emperor thought for a while and tapped the table with his fingertips. "Well, the queen's idea is not bad. The most painful thing for a mother is separation from her child. This will also help Concubine Qi understand what it means to not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.

The Queen is truly virtuous, having come up with such a win-win solution. However, Hongshi is not very smart, and sometimes he is stubborn, so I am afraid it will be difficult for the Queen to teach him."

Hearing the emperor praising her, the queen happily curled her lips and put her hand into the emperor's palm, "As the Empress, it is my duty to educate the royal heir. It is my blessing that the emperor trusts me so much."

After hearing this, the emperor laughed out loud.

Jianqiu stood outside the door and couldn't help but curl her lips as she listened to the sounds in the house. The queen had been looking forward to the emperor's coming and making the emperor happy every day, and today her wish was finally fulfilled.

Early the next morning, all the concubines gathered in Jingren Palace to pay their respects. When Concubine Qi saw An Lingrong appear in front of her in good health, she felt nervous and regretful. She didn't know whether she didn't eat or she didn't give enough?

After sitting down, the Queen announced the Emperor's intention to everyone. Zhen Huan and An Lingrong looked at each other and immediately understood that this must be the Queen's plan.

Concubine Qi asked anxiously with her mouth open, "My Queen, everything was fine, why did you suddenly not allow me to raise Hongshi myself?"

The Queen sighed and found an excuse, "Hongshi is getting old, I will teach him a lesson here. The Emperor intends to choose a virtuous wife for the Third Prince, Concubine Qi, are you unwilling?"

Concubine Qi lowered her head nervously, "Yes, yes, I am willing. It is a blessing for Hongshi to be taught by the queen herself."

The Queen did not reply, but turned to look at An Lingrong, "An Changzai, is your pregnancy stable? Imperial Doctor Wen has to take care of Concubine Wan and Concubine Hui, and now he has to help you with your pregnancy. If he is not able to help at the moment, please tell me directly, and I can find someone else to help you with your pregnancy."

An Lingrong showed her signature smile, looked at the queen weakly, and bent her body slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, Queen. I think Doctor Wen is quite reliable. If there is any need in the future, I will trouble you again."

The queen hummed and smiled.

"You should all learn from An Changzai. She is introverted but steady. Although the emperor often goes to Sui Yuxuan, he doesn't go to her place very often. As a result, An Changzai got pregnant immediately. She is really blessed. If all of you can be as blessed as An Changzai, what would this palace have to worry about?"

After hearing this, the concubines all stood up and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. We will definitely keep it in mind."

After all the concubines left, Concubine Qi stayed.

"My Queen, I don't know what I have done wrong. Why do you treat me like this? Hongshi is my lifeblood. How can I live without her?"

The queen angrily threw the soft pillow beside her, "Qi Fei, you did something wrong and you still don't repent. Do you think I deliberately took Hongshi away from you? Don't you know what you did to An Changzai?"

Concubine Qi was stunned, "Your Majesty... you know everything?"

"An Changzai and Wanpin came to the emperor crying and complained that you were plotting to murder the heir to the throne and asked the emperor to punish you severely. If I hadn't persuaded you, would you still be sitting in Jingren Palace now?

I did this to protect Hongshi. You have made such a big mistake this time, the emperor is already dissatisfied with you. Hongshi is not young anymore, it won't be long before the emperor will consider appointing a crown prince. Do you want the emperor to think of you, his unbearable mother, every time he thinks of Hongshi?

Only if Hongshi stays with me, the emperor will gradually see the good in Hongshi. Don't you plan for your son's future?"

After hearing these words, Concubine Qi fell to the ground crying, shouting hysterically: "Hongshi, it is my mother who has let you down, it is my mother who has harmed you!"

"It's good that you know! Now, you can rest assured that I will raise Hongshi, right?"

"I am willing. Of course I am willing. Thank you, Queen, for planning for me and my son... But wasn't Concubine An not injured?"

The queen got angry when she heard this. She touched her heart again and again, looking very disappointed. "You want to harm people, but you can't think of a perfect plan. How can you achieve your goal by giving drugs so directly and stupidly? If you did things more covertly, you wouldn't be kneeling here right now."

Concubine Qi looked at the Queen in disbelief, "My Lady, what do you mean by this?"

The queen didn't say anything, but looked at her meaningfully, then took Jianqiu's hand and stood up and left.
