, Chapter 20
When Concubine Yang learned that Su Ruyi was poisoned and died of poisoning, she felt that King An was very efficient in doing things. She was very happy, as if she had seen that day when Ye Qing had no other turnaround.
When she cried all the way to Concubine Su's Yonghe Palace, she found that the front door of Yonghe Palace was deserted.
Not only was the Empress Dowager and the Emperor absent, but there were not even many concubines coming to pay their respects.
Concubine Yang was stupid. She had carefully prepared the plan for so long and the main owner was not around. How could she continue to do this drama?
A concubine was poisoned to death in the palace. Didn’t the emperor and the empress dowager care about it?
She casually caught a concubine who came to pay her respects and found out that everyone had gone to Changshou Palace, saying that the queen was pregnant with a dragon son, and the concubines all had congratulated her.
When Concubine Yang heard this, she almost fainted from anger.
The imperial physician has not arrived at Changshou Palace yet, but the concubines who came to congratulate him have almost stepped on the threshold of Changshou Palace.
Ye Qing didn't know how the news spread so quickly as if it had wings.
Being pregnant or something is a huge misunderstanding, she is extremely embarrassed now.
The palace emphasizes that the fetus is stable only after three months of the year, otherwise it will be afraid that the fetus will be scared away. After the empress dowager was happy, she saw her concubines running to Changshou Palace to congratulate him one after another. Thinking of Ye Qing's body, she was afraid that she was not yet full term, so she did not let them see Ye Qing, and only left them to drink tea in the side hall.
Ye Qing wanted to cry but she was crying. The Empress Dowager's attitude clearly believed that she had a baby in her stomach.
She had to say tactfully: "Mother, I just have a bad mood these days and haven't had much sleep at night."
Seeing that her face was full of anxiety, the empress dowager thought she was afraid that she was not pregnant with Longsi. They were all experienced people, and the empress dowager understood and comforted her: "My mother gave me a copy, and mother gave me a copy, and I will talk about it after the imperial physician has seen it."
He said this, but the Queen Mother still had hope on her face.
Ye Qing's face was so worried that she almost wrinkled into a bun. She couldn't bear to see the queen mother's happy expression anymore. She turned her head silently and met the tears of purple bamboo gaze.
Zi Zhu: "Empress, you have children, and you can finally make it through!"
She folded her hands together and kept worshiping the Guanyin statue held in the Empress Dowager's Hall: "The Buddha, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the Tathagata, the Great Emperor, the Queen Mother of the South China Sea, Guanyin Bodhisattva, sent her mother-in-law to the mother-in-law to the mother-in-law to the mother-in-law to the child. I sincerely ask all the gods to bless my concubines to get pregnant with the dragon son!"
Ye Qing: “…”
Can she have a more reliable person around her?
When the heart and liver were getting cold, the eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside: "The emperor is here-"
Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat, and another official came.
The dog emperor never touched her at all. How could she be pregnant? Ye Qing felt even more embarrassed in an instant, and she wished there was a crack for her to penetrate.
"The emperor is here." The empress dowager was in a very good mood today and couldn't stop smiling.
Xiao Jue gave her a gift: "Mother Queen."
His eyes fell on Ye Qing, who was lying on his face as if he was dead, and said with a slight slight voice: "What's wrong with the queen?"
No matter how the dog emperor guessed her in his heart, Ye Qing still had to bite the bullet and answer: "I am a little uncomfortable, which makes Your Majesty worried."
The Empress Dowager was also afraid that Ye Qing would not be pregnant, so she was happy at that time and space, so she said, "Look at this child, he has become so haggard recently, and he almost fainted just now. Only then did the Ai family think about asking an imperial physician to come and have a look."
Xiao Jue said lightly and heavyly, and Liang Youyou's eyes kept spinning on Ye Qing's head.
Ye Qing was timid and didn't dare to look at him.
Soon, the imperial physician trotted into the Changshou Palace. It was still a long way from the Imperial Hospital to the palace, so the concubines outside all sat there before the imperial physician arrived.
This time, the head of the Imperial Hospital was the head of the Imperial Hospital. On the way to come, the eunuch from Changshou Palace had already revealed to him what was going on.
The queen's child is also the first child in the royal family, so this is unscrupulous.
The head of the court greeted the Empress Dowager and Xiao Jue in turn.
The Queen Mother couldn't wait any longer and urged: "Take the Queen's pulse quickly."
The head of the courtyard nodded respectfully, and then tied the red line of the pulse to Ye Qing's wrist to the palace maid, and then stretched out three fingers to put the pulse to the line to concentrate on the pulse.
Everyone in the house stared at the head of the courtyard.
Ye Qing maintained a calm expression, but his eyes were already filled with no hope.
She just wanted to avoid hidden dangers, but why did she make such a big mistake...
His eyes turned accidentally and he met Xiao Jue.
The dog emperor had a faint look, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ye Qing silently withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the roof without any desire. He hoped that the emperor would not over-think, and guessed that she wanted to take this opportunity to ask him for children through the mouth of the empress dowager.
When Ye Qing was so embarrassed that he was almost autistic, the first hospital finally finished his pulse.
The Queen Mother asked quickly: "How?"
The head of the court naturally knew what the empress dowager was looking forward to. It was because he knew that he was even less likely to speak. However, in this matter, he did not have the courage to lie, and bowed and said respectfully: "When the empress dowager said, the empress is not seriously injured. Perhaps it was because she had not had a good rest recently, and her spleen was weak and her liver fire was a little strong, which led to qi deficiency. The old minister prescribed the queen a prescription to calm the mind and replenish qi. The empress can take it for a few days."
The Queen Mother's eyebrows were indeed unable to hide her disappointment, but she was afraid that Ye Qing knew that she was not pregnant and felt uncomfortable, so she still said with a smile on her face: "I am working on the imperial doctor."
The palace maid led the imperial physician down, and the empress dowager said to Ye Qing: "You child, you should be more concerned about your body on weekdays. Don't come to my palace to pay tribute to you in the next few days. Go back and rest and take good care of your body."
Ye Qing nodded under the thin quilt like a quail.
Seeing her like this, the Empress Dowager just thought she was disappointed. There were no outsiders in the palace, so she comforted her: "You and the Emperor are still young. When it comes to children, they will always come, and you don't have to hurry."
Ye Qing wanted to say that she was not in a hurry at all, but at the moment, she could only nod her sincere head as if she was taught.
The Empress Dowager felt that Ye Qing was not pregnant with Long Si, so she might have collided with Concubine Su's death and rushed away the child. In order to get her grandson as soon as possible, the Empress Dowager decided not to let Ye Qing get involved in the funeral in recent years. Therefore, Concubine Su did not let Ye Qing take over the funeral, and she handled it herself.
Ye Qing didn't know anything about the Queen Mother's thoughts. She had been staying in her bedroom for the past few days to "retreat" and turned a blind eye to the matter outside the window.
The Dog Emperor has been getting busier and busier these days, and he can hardly get out of time to come to Zhaoyang Palace.
Ye Qing kept remembering what the Empress Dowager told her that day that Shangshu Ye was going to go to Jiangnan to control the water. She compiled a letter and sent it home, which was quite meaningful to ask Shangshu Ye to refuse the job.
The huge amount of public funds allocated to the water control system has always been the biggest fatal flaw, so Ye Shangshu naturally would not let go.
Ye Qing had a headache, and she couldn't just say that Ye Shangshu went there this time, and he must have gone to die. He had to make a fuss about the faction. During the period when she helped Xiao Jue review the memorial, she basically knew which court officials were from the hands of Prime Minister Yang.
The Minister of Works is Yang Xiang's person. Xiao Jue did not use the person from the Ministry of Works this time, and perhaps he wanted to suppress Yang Xiang. The Ye family's current strength is definitely not comparable to Yang Xiang.
After explaining this truth to Ye Shangshu, Ye Shangshu didn't seem to understand that the Ye family has to be safe and cannot easily take sides. The reply to Ye Qing means refusing to the emperor.
Ye Qing was relieved. No matter what, she occupied the original owner's body, and she couldn't know the ending and still watched the original owner's cheap father go to die.
Concubine Yang has been jumping into the sky recently, but in the end she didn't make any waves.
She cried and clamored to search the various palaces, found the murderer who poisoned Concubine Su, and played a big sisterly drama. Unexpectedly, this search for the palace directly found the poison in Concubine Su in her palace.
The evidence is conclusive, and it is difficult to tell if Concubine Yang has a mouth. She was stripped of her concubine and sent to the cold palace.
As Concubine Su was buried in the imperial tomb, this matter seemed to have really been concluded.
Overnight, the only two concubines in the harem were gone, and the rest of the concubines were in danger, which reduced their presence.
Outsiders sighed, but Ye Qing felt that the matter between Concubine Yang and Concubine Su was too strange.
Concubine Yang's plan is too clumsy. Will it be a thief who shouts to catch the thief? With Concubine Yang's character, even if she poisons Concubine Su, she will not be so stupid that she will leave the evidence in her palace. On the contrary, she will blame others.
In this palace, except for Concubine Su, the only one who can make Concubine Yang hold a grudge is herself.
Concubine Yang poisons Concubine Su and then blames her. This is a killing of two birds with one stone.
Things eventually turned out like this. Ye Qing didn't know if it was the Queen Mother's gang. When she went to the Queen Mother's harem, she mentioned this matter with emotion. The Queen Mother's answer seemed to know, but she seemed to be ignorant.
If the Queen Mother hadn’t helped her, then who else could help her in the palace?
Dog Emperor? Ye Qing can’t think of a reason why Dog Emperor helps her.
As soon as I was free, life passed quickly, and it was mid-April in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Jue’s Fengshan period was the day when the Fengshan ceremony began in early May. Half a month before the Fengshan ceremony, Anfu came to Zhaoyang Palace to issue an imperial edict, saying that she would prepare and go to Fengshan with Xiao Jue in a few days.
Ye Qing was stunned: "Didn't your Majesty say that I don't have to go with you?"
An Fu held the whisk and said, "This... I am just passing the order for His Majesty. I don't know the rest."
Ye Qing was so angry that he was ruthless about the dog emperor's rebellion.
That day, in order to prevent the Empress Dowager from leaving the Changshou Palace, she made such a big embarrassment.
Ye Qing was about to go to Zhaode Palace to ask the Dog Emperor for an explanation, but Zi Zhu hurriedly came to report that the empress dowager asked her to go to Changshou Palace immediately, and Old Lady Ye came into the palace.
Old Lady Ye is the biological mother of her cheap father and queen mother. The original owner had never seen this grandmother several times, but he was actually a very kind old lady.
When Old Master Ye was there, he could afford to be the word "humeral minister". Most of the Ye family's foundation was established by Old Master Ye at that time. However, his sons were not successful. After Old Master Ye passed away, the Ye family gradually became in decline, and it was entirely up to the Queen Mother to support him in the palace.
Old Mrs. Ye didn't care about anything in her later years and kept living her whole life. Now that she entered the palace in the middle of the night, something must have happened to her family.
When Ye Qing felt that when the Changshou Palace, the grand palace maid who was guarding the gate might have received the order of the queen mother, so she asked Ye Qing to go in directly without any communication.
She opened the curtain and walked into the inner hall. She saw the old lady Ye and the queen mother sitting on the couch. Both of them looked very good.
Old Mrs. Ye's hair turned white, and she was wearing the costume of a first-class lady. The flesh on her cheeks was loose due to aging. She looked at an extremely kind old man.
Ye Qing greeted the two and called out: "Grandmother, aunt."
When Old Lady Ye saw Ye Qing, she felt a little sad and excited and sad, and said, "Is this sister Qing? When my grandmother saw you last time, you were only so tall, and you had to hug your grandmother when you walked..."
Old Mrs. Ye trembled and gestured in front of her with thin hands, her eyes were so red.
The Empress Dowager was so sad that her old lady said that she felt so sad that she said that when she entered the palace, she was as deep as the sea. Even if she had already sat in the position of the Empress Dowager, it would not be easy for her to meet her family several times a year.
She said to Ye Qing: "Come here quickly and let your grandmother have a good time."
Ye Qing is actually a person who is not easy to empathize with, but the tone of Old Lady Ye's speech was too similar to her deceased grandmother. She was inevitably moved in her heart. She stepped forward and held Old Lady Ye's old and thin hand and called out: "Grandma."
"Good kid, good kid..." Old Mrs. Ye cried again: "You have all suffered in the palace for the years."
The Empress Dowager is a strong man. Even if she is unwilling to show her soft side in front of her biological mother, her eyes turned around and wiped her tears.
After asking about his well-being, Ye Qing remembered the serious matter and asked: "Grandma, did you enter the palace in the middle of the night? Is something wrong at home?"
