Lu Wanning thought so, but she actually didn't pay too much attention to Qu Cairen's pregnancy, because whether Qu Cairen would give birth to a prince or not would not have much impact on her at this time.

However, after guessing that Qu Cairen was pregnant, she would try to stay away from him again when she met Qu Cairen. After all, although Qu Cairen had not made it public yet, she could guess that Qu Cairen was pregnant, and others might also guess it.

If someone attacks Qu Cai, she doesn't want to be innocently involved.

However, what Lu Wanning didn't expect was that the news that Qu Cairen might be pregnant had not yet been discovered by others. On the night of August 15th, the concubine Hui of Yongchun Palace first spread the news of pregnancy.

August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a banquet must be held in the heavenly palace on this day.

Since it is a festival and it is the 15th day of the month, the emperor will naturally rest in Fengyi Palace in the evening.

Who would have thought that after the banquet was over, not long after the emperor arrived at Fengyi Palace, the young eunuch from Yongchun Palace came to Fengyi Palace anxiously to find the emperor and queen, saying that Empress Hui had fainted.

The queen was changing the emperor's clothes. When she heard this, her movements stopped and she frowned imperceptibly.

Before the emperor noticed it, he put on a worried expression and said hurriedly: "What happened? Wasn't Hui Bin fine during the palace banquet? Why did she suddenly faint? Did you put Hui Bin in the palace?"

Tell me everything that happened after you returned to the palace in detail."

The little eunuch who came to report the news knelt on the ground and said: "I don't know the specific details of the reply to the Queen. I only know that when Empress Hui came back from the palace banquet, she said she felt very tight in her chest and wanted to take a bath and sleep for a while.

"

"After hearing this, the two sisters Yun Shang and Hua Rui had people prepare water and wait for Empress Hui to take a bath. But after a while, sister Yun Shang came out and said that Empress Hui had fainted, and asked people to invite the emperor and empress.

, while asking someone to ask for the doctor."

The queen didn't hear anything wrong from the young eunuch's words. She didn't know whether something really happened to Hui Bin or if she was just playing some trick. She raised her head and glanced at the emperor, but she couldn't tell what he was thinking from his face.

After thinking for a while, the queen said to the emperor: "I'd better go to Yongchun Palace to see what's going on. Should the emperor go there with me or let me wait for you to rest first?"

"I'll go and have a look too," the emperor said.

The emperor said that even if he wanted to go, the queen could not stop him.

When the two arrived at Yongchun Palace, they happened to meet the imperial doctor at the door.

When the imperial doctor saw the empress, he rushed over to salute, but the empress stopped him and said, "No need to be polite, let's go see Empress Hui first."

"Yes, the Queen." The imperial doctor responded and hurriedly went in to see Hui Concubine.

At this time, Hui Bin had been carried to the bed to lie down, and her clothes were fully dressed, but the black hair on her head was still wet, which proved that she was indeed taking a bath before.

The imperial doctor checked Hui's pulse, while the emperor and the queen sat aside and waited.

From time to time, the queen looked at Hui Bin who was lying on the bed and the imperial doctor who was diagnosing her pulse. She hoped that something would happen to Hui Bin, but also did not want anything to happen to Hui Bin.

Hui Bin usually relies on Concubine Ming and the Second Princess. She carelessly treats her with respect without saying anything, but she still wants to show off her power in front of her. How can she have a good impression of Hui Bin.

But if something happened to Concubine Hui tonight, she was worried that someone might have tampered with the palace banquet. The palace banquet was organized by her, and the emperor would inevitably blame her.

Before the queen could come up with a result, the imperial doctor withdrew his hand, with a relieved smile on his face, and came over to congratulate the emperor, "Congratulations to the emperor, Empress Hui is in good health. She fainted because Empress Hui is pregnant."

.”

"You didn't make a mistake in your diagnosis?" When the queen heard this, her expression almost stopped.

Seeing the emperor looking over, the queen hurriedly said: "If it's just that she is pregnant, why did Hui Bin faint and not wake up after such a long time?"

The imperial doctor replied calmly: "Don't worry, Queen, Queen Hui's pulse is coming and going fluently, like a running bead, there is no doubt that her pulse is smooth."

"The reason why she fainted was probably because Empress Hui was hit by all kinds of messy fragrances during the palace banquet. It won't take long for her to wake up."

The queen had regained her composure at this time. After listening to the words of the imperial doctor, she showed a smile on her face and said: "This will make me feel at ease."

After that, the queen asked the imperial doctor, "How many months has Hui Bin been pregnant? Will her fainting hurt the fetus in her belly?"

The imperial doctor answered one by one, "In reply to the Empress, the fetus in Empress Hui Bin's belly is now very healthy and has not been affected. Judging from Empress Hui Bin's pulse, Empress Hui Bin is probably pregnant for more than a month."

When the Queen asked the question, the Emperor did not speak the whole time, and even when he heard that Hui Bin was pregnant, he did not show too many expressions on his face, but the Queen knew that the Emperor must be happy.

Hui Bin woke up after about a quarter of an hour.

When he opened his eyes and saw the Emperor and Queen Hui in the room, he was startled at first, and then said with a confused look on his face, "What's going on, my concubine? Why are you and the Queen here, Your Majesty?"

The emperor looked at Hui Bin and said softly: "You are pregnant."

When Hui Bin heard this, her eyes suddenly burst out with bright light, "Is what the emperor said true? Is this concubine really pregnant?"

The emperor nodded, "Yes."

Seeing Hui Bin's happy expression, the Queen smiled and said, "The imperial doctor has just checked for you. It is true that you are more than a month pregnant. It was just that you were hit by the messy fragrance at the palace banquet. Although it is not serious at this time,

Yes, but we must also take a good rest and strive to give birth to a healthy prince for the emperor as soon as possible."

After hearing this, the emperor stood up and said: "The queen is right, it is getting late now, so I and the queen will leave first. You have a good rest."

Concubine Hui glanced at the emperor and empress, and said with a smile: "It's all because of my carelessness that I didn't even know that I was pregnant. The emperor and empress are tired that they haven't been able to rest at this time."

Before the emperor and the queen could speak, Hui concubine looked at the emperor again and said: "It is indeed getting late at this time. The emperor has to attend the morning court tomorrow. Why don't the emperor rest in the concubine's Yongchun Palace to avoid being so late?

I still have to go back and forth.”

After hearing Hui Bin's words, the emperor looked at him deeply and did not refuse, "Then let someone tidy up the side hall. I can sleep there tonight."

Seeing that the emperor agreed, Hui Bin was so happy that she asked Yunshang and Huarui to clean up the side hall. It didn't matter whether the emperor stayed in the side hall or the main hall, as long as the emperor could stay in Yongchun Palace tonight.

The queen was very dissatisfied with Hui Bin's behavior of retaining people. She wished she could have people come forward and tear her apart. Hui Bin couldn't hide her proud and happy face, but she put on a magnanimous look on her face and said to the emperor: "

Concubine Hui is still thoughtful, so the Emperor and Concubine Hui should take a rest early, and I will go back first."
