Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

After these words were spoken, Concubine Cheng could only stand there in a daze with her mouth slightly open.

Wei Yanwan's tone became increasingly cold, she narrowed her eyes slightly, stared at Concubine Cheng and said, "I believe that I have no grudges against Yancao, why would Yancao do this?

Or is it that Concubine Cheng is feeling guilty about something?"

Princess Cheng swallowed.

Concubine Cheng was not stupid. She had already realized that every word Wei Yanwan said was meant to seduce her.

Naturally, she would not continue to speak according to Wei Yanwan's words, otherwise, she would not know what trap was waiting for her.

However, Concubine Cheng thought about it and felt that what Wei Yanwan said made sense.

Indeed, whoever in the palace is pregnant with the royal heir must be cherished, and no one would have the heart to use the safety of a child to harm others.

unless……

Concubine Cheng's eyes fell on her bulging belly, and her thin lips unconsciously pursed slightly.

Unless there was something wrong with the baby in Wei Yanwan's belly.

Concubine Cheng's eyes flickered as she said softly to Wei Yanwan, "Your Excellency is too kind, that's not what I meant.

But I remember that when your lady was first pregnant, her pregnancy was not very good. Not only did she have very strong symptoms of vomiting and morning sickness, but she also had stomach pain from time to time.

Concubine Cheng's eyes became increasingly darker, and she looked at Wei Yanwan's belly without any reservation.

"At that time, I still vaguely remember that your face became more and more sallow, and your figure became terribly thin. But now I see that you are plump and beautiful..."

"What Empress Cheng means is that there's something wrong with the baby in my belly?" Wei Yanwan's hands unconsciously clutched the quilt, and she tried her best to remain calm.

Concubine Cheng frowned slightly, bit her lower lip, and said, as if she had made up her mind, "I know that your noble lady was originally a personal maid of Concubine Feng.

Originally, when I was in the Princess Palace with Princess Hejing, I delayed the opportunity for Imperial Physician Qi to go and see Concubine Feng during her delivery.

But the princess wants to keep the imperial physician Qi, what can I do? Besides, I didn't know that Concubine Feng would have such a difficult delivery...

As time goes by, you now blame me. I know I am in the wrong and have nothing to say.

But if your ladyship cannot keep the baby, she cannot come to Jingyang Palace and blame me.

This pregnancy of mine is still very stable..."

Concubine Cheng knew the source of Wei Yanwan's hostility towards her. Originally, the two of them seemed to be at peace on the surface, but they were not yet at the point of a falling out.

But now, Wei Yanwan is pressing forward step by step, and Concubine Cheng can no longer sit still.

She simply made the matter clear and made herself sound pitiful and innocent, in order to make Wei Yanwan look cunning and narrow-minded.

"How can you, Madam Concubine Cheng, think that I cannot keep this pregnancy?"

Wei Yanwan sat up straight, with a dark shadow in her eyes, as if she had anticipated what Concubine Cheng would say.

"It was only because I had been a palace maid for so long that my body became weak, so my complexion was not very good during the early stages of my pregnancy. The Queen knows about this."

Ruyi nodded slightly, "Before the southern tour, I followed the emperor's instructions and visited your noble lady.

At that time, the imperial physician never said that your noble lady had any problems with her pregnancy. He only said that if you take good care of it, it will eventually recover. "

Wei Yanwan smiled at Ruyi and said, "Yes, thanks to the blessing of the Emperor and the Empress, I am indeed much better now.

Because Doctor Lu used a lot of rare cinnabar lotus to treat my vomiting and stomachache. My kidney qi was replenished, and my complexion naturally improved and my figure became plump.

If Concubine Cheng still has objections, she can ask the Empress for the Imperial Hospital's records and check them carefully."

Concubine Cheng does not have the authority to assist in managing the six palaces, so how dare she easily ask for the records of the Imperial Medical Bureau? Isn't that an act of usurpation?

Seeing that she could not gain the upper hand in the confrontation, and that Ruyi was vaguely biased towards Wei Yanwan, Concubine Cheng had no choice but to pretend to be virtuous and gentle,

"My dear, if Yancao has done anything wrong, I will apologize to you on her behalf.

I hope you won't get upset over such a small matter and harm the heir to the throne, that would be more trouble than gain."

Concubine Cheng intended to make the matter less serious, so she took a step back and waved her hand to signal the little palace maid behind her to bring over an exquisite, flat, long and narrow wooden box.

When the wooden box was opened, a plump, top-quality purple ginseng with its roots intact could be seen between the layers of goose yellow brocade.

Wei Yanwan looked up, and a look of curiosity unconsciously appeared in her eyes.

Ruyi smiled meaningfully and said, "This kind of precious purple ginseng with excellent appearance is something that even I have never seen before. The Fucha family is indeed a wealthy family."

Concubine Cheng wanted to use such a rare medicinal material to exchange for Yancao's life. Wei Yanwan felt a little surprised, but she didn't intend to let them go.

Although Wei Yanwan was born into a bannerman family and had never seen anything good before, she was not so picky.

She lazily adjusted the loose jade hairpin on her temples and said calmly, "Madam Chengfei is very generous.

I just don’t know if Concubine Cheng knows that what the Emperor hates most are corrupt officials.

The father of Concubine Rou and Concubine Li is a lesson for us. Madam Cheng should keep this thing for herself. I am not lucky enough to enjoy it."

Wei Yanwan's refusal did not make Concubine Cheng feel embarrassed or retreat. She still maintained a calm and kind smile and explained slowly,

"Your Excellency, there is no need to worry so much. This is the purple ginseng that the Queen Mother gave to me. It is very nourishing and has rich medicinal properties.

It is one of my most precious treasures. I am giving it to you today as a token of my apology."

As Concubine Cheng said this, she stood up and looked at Wei Yanwan with an apologetic look in her eyes. She bowed deeply to her and was very polite.

A concubine bowed and apologized to the noble.

Anyone who saw this would think that Concubine Cheng was sincere. Moreover, Concubine Cheng had unknowingly brought up the title of the Empress Dowager.

Under such circumstances, if Wei Yanwan continued to hold on to her grievances, she would instead be branded as a domineering and rebellious person.

Wei Yanwan gritted her teeth secretly. This Concubine Cheng was indeed not someone easy to deal with.

Concubine Cheng actually secretly went to seek refuge with the Queen Mother?

Ruyi raised her eyebrows unconsciously when she heard the news. She looked at Concubine Cheng deeply, and her guard became even stronger.

Ruyi couldn't speak up to take sides anymore, so she had to protect herself and said to Wei Yanwan, "Your Highness, Concubine Cheng's move is enough to show her sincerity.

Peace is the most important thing in everything. Look, why don't we just forget about this matter today?"

Forget it, how can this be possible?

Wei Yanwan's mind moved, and she suddenly covered her stomach and cried out in pain, "It hurts... Xing'er... hurry..."

Ruyi's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly raised her hand to ask someone to call the imperial physician, but was interrupted by Xing'er's loud voice.

"My dear, your pregnancy-preserving medicine is here. It was prepared by Dr. Lu himself. You will be fine after drinking it."

Before anyone could react, Wei Yanwan drank the bowl of black medicine in one gulp.

However, after Wei Yanwan drank the medicine, the pain did not ease as expected.

Instead, continuous and shrill wails came out of her mouth more and more uncontrollably.
