After three years of slavery, the entire mansion begged me for forgiveness

Qiao Nian naturally understood what the Queen meant.

The biggest reason why she harmed Concubine Xu was because of the child in Concubine Xu's belly.

If Qiao Nian said that the child was healthy now, the emperor would definitely be suspicious if Concubine Xu died in the future.

Therefore, she wanted Qiao Nian to think carefully about how to answer!

Qiao Nian retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes to stare at the surface of his shoes, and then spoke, "Thanks to the supplements given by the Queen, the fetus in Concubine Xu's belly is healthy. I believe that as long as Concubine Xu can hold on until the day of delivery, the dragon heir in her belly will be safe and sound!"

Hearing this, the queen's eyes instantly turned cold.

But the emperor was very satisfied, and the smile on his face was particularly intense.

He turned around and looked at the queen, took her hand affectionately, and praised gently, "Thanks to you."

The queen had already put on a gentle and virtuous face, and in response to the emperor's praise, she just smiled and said, "Since the emperor can hand over the harem to me, I will naturally share the emperor's worries."

"Well done!" said the emperor, and suddenly leaned forward and said something in the queen's ear.

The queen smiled shyly and said, "Then I will wait for the emperor."

"Hahaha, good." The emperor said, then let go of the queen and stood up, "I still have government affairs to deal with, you can talk to the queen for a while!"

The second half of the sentence was directed to Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian immediately responded and respectfully saw the emperor off.

Only after the emperor left did the queen look at Qiao Nian again, her voice slightly cold, "It seems that Master Qiao has gained the emperor's favor, and now he has his own ideas."

The voice was so cold that it made people tremble in their hearts.

Qiao Nian hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I answered like that only for your sake."

Hearing this, the queen snorted coldly, and then spoke slowly, "Oh? Tell me about it."

"Your Majesty, think carefully. Your Majesty is so concerned about the heir to the throne. If I just said that Concubine Xu's baby is not safe, would Your Majesty still trust me to take care of Concubine Xu alone?"

As Qiao Nian spoke, she looked up at the Queen. Seeing that the Queen's expression did not change much, she continued to answer, "What's more, Your Majesty sent so many supplements to Concubine Xu. If she couldn't even keep a dragon fetus alive, how could the Emperor not be suspicious? Your Majesty can bribe other imperial doctors, but if the Emperor is furious and punishes them, how many people can withstand the Emperor's anger? It is possible that someone will blame Your Majesty for this. Therefore, when the Emperor asks, the dragon fetus must be healthy."

The Queen then felt that what Qiao Nian said made some sense, but she still asked, "What if Concubine Xu died and two people died? How will you report to the Emperor?"

She will definitely kill that child!

Qiao Nian looked calm, then stood up straight and looked at the Queen, "Concubine Xu accidentally fell and gave birth prematurely. If there are two deaths, it is her own fault. What does it have to do with others?"

Hearing Qiao Nian say this, a smile finally returned to the queen's face.

The pair of eyes looked Qiao Nian up and down, and then said, "I thought you were a soft-hearted person, but I didn't expect you to be so scheming."

Obviously, the queen still had some doubts about Qiao Nian.

Then he heard Qiao Nian say, "I have been in the laundry department for three years. If I were not really a rabbit, I would have been eaten clean, without even a bone left."

Naturally, the Queen had heard about what happened to Qiao Nian in the laundry department.

Now hearing Qiao Nian's description, I feel that it makes some sense.

Then he nodded slowly, "Fortunately, Master Qiao has survived. You will only get better and better if you follow me and Shu Yuan in the future. From now on, no one will dare to bully you."

"I thank the Queen."

After an incense stick of time, Qiao Nian finally left the Queen's bedroom and went to Fuhe Palace to visit Concubine Xu.

Compared to the first time they met, Concubine Xu had lost a lot of weight, and her complexion was much better than before. However, in front of her little palace maid, Concubine Xu would still show some fatigue from time to time, so that the little palace maid would think that she was really a sickly person who would not live long.

Fortunately, the little palace maid was confused and only knew how to play all day long. She didn't know how to take care of Concubine Xu at all, which made Concubine Xu feel a lot more relaxed.

Concubine Xu was also very happy to see Qiao Nian, and hurried forward to greet him, "Master Qiao is here! Come on, come in and sit down!"

Qiao Nian was pulled into the house by her. Concubine Xu poured her a glass of water and said, "Thanks to Master Qiao, I feel that my steps have become lighter recently!"

Only after a person has been sick can he know what he is like when he is in good health.

She is now energetic during the day and sleeps well at night. It couldn’t be better!

Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian's expression became a little solemn. "Today, the emperor asked about you in front of the queen, and I told him that you were born weak, but the dragon fetus is very good."

Lady Xu was slightly stunned.

After all, she had served Concubine De for a long time. How could she not hear such obvious implication?

What this means is that she will not survive, but the child will survive.

After a brief moment of shock, Concubine Xu smiled again, "It's good that the dragon fetus is safe. I originally just wanted to give Concubine De a child. If the child can be kept safe, what does my worthless life mean?"

Qiao Nian opened his mouth subconsciously.

She wanted to tell Concubine Xu that the child's life was the same as hers.

No one’s life is born to be worthless!

She also wanted to tell Concubine Xu that she had thought of a way. Once the Turtle Breathing Pill was successfully developed, she would be able to let Concubine Xu leave the palace and live a new life.

But Qiao Nian didn't say these words after all.

It is still unknown whether the Guixi Pill can be successfully developed.

If we fail in the end, wouldn't it be a waste of time to be happy?

What's more, what qualifications does she have to comfort herself by saying that her life is not a worthless one?

It was obvious that between Concubine Xu and Brother Xiao, she would definitely choose Brother Xiao.

Therefore, she swallowed back those words.

At the moment, he could only slowly say, "You are already seven months pregnant. Although I can appease the Queen for the time being, I am unsure of Princess Shu Yuan's intentions. I don't know when she will send someone to harm you. Be careful when you go there."

As he spoke, Qiao Nian took out a neatly folded handkerchief from his sleeve pocket.

Slowly spread out the handkerchief, revealing a thousand-year-old ginseng hidden inside.

This is what she wanted to get before her fifth and seventh brothers left.

"If something really happens and I'm not by your side, remember to hold this piece of ginseng under your tongue. That way, you can at least hold on until I get to you."

Lady Xu's eyes instantly turned red. She carefully folded the handkerchief again, held it up with both hands, and pressed it against her chest.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Qiao Nian was full of emotion. "In this world, besides Concubine Que De, you are the only one who treats me the best, Master Qiao. Don't worry, I will definitely hold on until you get here!"

Seeing Concubine Xu like this, Qiao Nian felt very uncomfortable.

A feeling of weakness enveloped her, making it difficult for her to breathe.

At that moment, he made an excuse that he had something to do in the Imperial Hospital and left in a hurry.

Even though she is a disciple of a divine doctor, there are still too many people in this world that she cannot save...
