Chapter 250 What can the Queen Mother do?
When Wei Yanwan got the news, she laughed and cried in Chengqian Palace.
I was laughing because Wei Yanwan had finally taken revenge in her own way, and Concubine Feng and Lan Cui could finally rest in peace.
She cried because even if she took revenge, she could not restore their innocence, let alone bring them back.
At the beginning, Wei Yanwan instigated Doctor Bao to use strong medicine and presented the emperor with ginseng and deer antler qi-replenishing pills, which had obvious effects but hidden side effects.
Wei Yanwan just complimented him a few times in a coquettish way, and the emperor became even more excited in bed.
It happened that the Queen Mother fell ill, and Doctor Qi was transferred away. With the joint assistance of Wei Yanwan and Jinzhong, the next person to be transferred to Jingyang Palace was naturally Doctor Bao.
The purple ginseng was indeed given to Concubine Cheng by the Empress Dowager, but after it passed through the hands of Imperial Physician Bao, it was naturally not so clean.
Doctor Bao was cautious and only dared to apply a small amount of blood-activating medicinal powder on the purple ginseng each time.
Fortunately, he had the convenience of his position. As the pain accumulated day by day, Concubine Cheng finally couldn't bear it anymore. She suffered from constant abdominal pain and eventually showed symptoms of miscarriage.
If it weren't for the Imperial Doctor Qi sent by the Queen Mother to intervene, saving the mother and the child, and exchanging Concubine Cheng's life for the Tenth Prince's, the Tenth Prince would not have survived at all.
However, Doctor Bao kept it secret, and the purple ginseng was a gift from the Queen Mother, so no one dared to suspect it, and so his little trick was able to get away with it.
Wei Yanwan deliberately took advantage of the moment when the emperor turned over her name card today to take action, just to whisper more pillow talk in the emperor's ears.
Sure enough, under her instigation, the emperor's disgust towards Concubine Cheng deepened.
In addition, the appearance of Fujia was enough to show that the Queen Mother valued Concubine Cheng, and it made the Emperor too lazy to even pretend to be affectionate towards Concubine Cheng.
Therefore, in the end, he directly hinted to Doctor Qi that he didn't need to care about Concubine Cheng's life.
Jinzhong felt heartbroken when he saw Wei Yanwan acting crazy and holding on to the wine glass.
Wei Yanwan was a little drunk, her eyes were misty, and she looked at Jinzhong coquettishly.
"Eunuch Jinzhong, thank you for helping me. If you hadn't told me what Concubine Cheng looked like before her death, I'm afraid I wouldn't be so happy right now, hahahaha..."
Jinzhong only had a faint smile on his face. He silently watched the wanton smile on Wei Yanwan's face from afar, while gently stroking the white cloth in his hand.
Under the white cloth were messy and ugly wounds. Jinzhong pressed the wounds, feeling the sharp pain, but his smile became more gentle.
very nice.
If it hurts, it proves it's real.
As long as he could see Wei Yanwan happy, everything he did was worth it.
The snow melts and spring comes, all things revive, and prosperity comes one after another. Everywhere is a brilliant and beautiful scene of vitality and hope.
The New Year had passed, and the emperor chose a warm spring day to confer titles on the six palaces.
Hai Lan was promoted to Noble Consort Yu, and was still responsible for assisting the six palaces before Ruyi gave birth.
The two new Mongolian favorites, Ying Guiren, were promoted to Yingpin, and Ke Changzai was promoted to Ke Guiren.
In addition, some concubines of lower rank in the harem who had seniority or favor were also promoted. Ning Yingying, Ping Yingying and Kui Yingying were all promoted to Changzai.
After the enthronement ceremony, all the concubines who were promoted went to the Yiku Palace to pay homage to the empress as usual.
Ruyi sat at the top. Her originally pointed chin seemed rounder due to her pregnancy, which made her look more friendly and gentle.
Ruyi didn't like complicated headwear and fancy clothes during her pregnancy, so today she just had a simple bun.
It is decorated with a set of kingfisher-shaped hair accessories welcoming the spring, and some light velvet flower decorations are inserted asymmetrically on both sides, symbolizing reunion and auspiciousness.
Because all the concubines were promoted, they all wore more formal auspicious clothes. Therefore, although Ruyi had simple hair accessories, she still wore a bright yellow auspicious dress to avoid losing her solemnity.
After some greetings and congratulations, the concubines began to talk about the trivial matters in the palace recently.
Among them, the most eye-catching one is the Tenth Prince who was raised by the Queen Mother.
Hai Lan started the conversation softly, "Yesterday, I went to the Cining Palace to visit the Tenth Prince on behalf of the Empress.
Imperial Physician Qi said that Imperial Concubine Cheng was overly worried during her pregnancy and did not take proper care of herself, which led to the Tenth Prince being extremely weak in the womb.
In addition, Concubine Cheng had a difficult delivery, so I am afraid she will need careful care every day to ensure that the Tenth Prince grows up safely."
Yingpin said innocently, "I grew up on the grassland and have never seen a baby as fragile as the one described by Concubine Yu."
Concubine Ke held the teacup, took a sip of milk tea, and said jokingly, "It's not that Concubine Ying hasn't seen it before, but on the grassland, such a weak child would never survive..."
Ruyi coughed lightly, and Concubine Ke realized that she had said the wrong thing. She said hurriedly, "However, the Tenth Prince is a prince. With the Emperor's grace and protection, he will surely live a long life."
Concubine Ke was young and favored, so Ruyi did not bother with her and sighed, "I have also heard the emperor talk about the Tenth Prince many times in recent days.
The tenth prince was a pitiful child. Not long after he was born, his mother died. Fortunately, the queen mother took pity on him and wanted to raise him personally despite her advanced age.
A few days ago, when the Emperor summoned Imperial Physician Qi, I happened to be there.
I heard from Doctor Qi that the Tenth Prince is a baby, and babies are delicate and it will be difficult for them to grow up. Once he is ten years old and in good health, I think he will be fine in the future. "
Ning Changzai exclaimed with some worry, "Ten years old? That's still a long time. I don't know if the Tenth Prince can have a smooth life before he turns ten."
"Alas, fate is a very hard thing to predict."
Hai Lan sighed, "Noble Concubine Cheng looked so healthy. But she passed away after giving birth to the Tenth Prince. She was truly unlucky."
"I may be unlucky, but I also find it strange." Yingpin was young and couldn't keep secrets, so she started asking questions after being provoked by Hailan.
"I met Lingpin on the long street earlier. I heard from the palace servants that Concubine Cheng once wanted to give Lingpin the purple ginseng that the Empress Dowager gave her.
It’s just that Concubine Ling didn’t receive the baby because she had a premature birth.
Now, Concubine Cheng ate the purple ginseng sent by the empress dowager, which caused her to suddenly become ill. If it was a coincidence, it would be too coincidental.
Yingpin lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "I always feel that the Queen Mother probably wants to have a prince in her hands too much."
This was outrageous, and Ruyi frowned.
As a queen, she had to be strict with her subordinates.
Ruyi looked around at the different expressions of the people below, then she calmed down and said solemnly, "Yingpin, this is a grassland, you should be more careful with your words.
If someone here has an idea and takes your words today to the Cining Palace, can you bear the consequences?"
Yingpin sat up straight without caring, "The emperor respects Mongolia, the empress dowager's eldest daughter and Empress Xiaoxian's legitimate daughter were also married to Mongolia.
Even if I say something rude, the emperor won't care, so what can the queen do?"
