Seeing everyone sitting upright, Qingyun smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard these days. I have brought back a special food from Jiuyuan County to reward everyone."

As Qingyun's words fell, rows of palace maids and eunuchs filed in with jade plates in hand, and placed a small plate of dishes in front of everyone. The clear and colorful colors complemented each other, and bursts of alluring fragrance drifted in the imperial garden with the wind. It flows in it, making people salivate just by looking at it and smelling it.

"This is an auspicious dish specially developed by an old man with superb cooking skills for the guilty minister Gong Yuanhao. It is said that Gong Yuanhao cannot live without this dish in his meals all year round. After I tasted it, I thought it was indeed a delicacy in the world. , so I specially invited the old man to come into the palace to taste it for you." His deep and clear eyes calmly glanced over the crowd, Qingyun smiled like a breeze.

Hearing Qingyun suddenly mention Gong Yuanhao, everyone's expressions became a little subtle for a moment, but they still respectfully said in unison: "Thank you to the Emperor and the Ninth Princess for the reward." However, no one started to eat it for a long time.

On the other hand, Sima Yue picked up the silver spoon and ate happily. When he finished, he stared at the jade certificate in front of Sima Rui and Sima Qi with flashing eyes. He smacked his lips and said, "Three brothers and five brothers, eat quickly. I guarantee that you will have endless aftertaste after eating. It's a pity." It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Jiuyuan County and I’ve only had it once.”

Seeing Sima Yue's eyes that seemed to be able to take the delicacy away from him, Sima Rui and Sima Qi quickly picked up the jade certificates in front of each other and ate slowly. This was Jiu'er's wish, and even brothers could not allow it.

Seeing Prince Qi, who has always been very picky about food, praising his food while eating, everyone was curious and picked up their silver spoons to taste.

"For the time being, I feel sorry for Sister-in-law Liu Huang not being able to taste this delicacy."

Cai Wanting was originally wondering why the food presented to her by the palace maid was different from other people's food, and she became even more confused when Qingyun said this.

"Jiu'er, does this dish have a special meaning?" Sima Xian firmly believed that Jiu'er would not hurt Wanting, and would never say such things for no reason.

"Brother Liu guessed it right." Qingyun's warm voice, although not loud, was clearly heard in the ears of everyone present: "Because this delicacy contains crab roe and crab shells, which are cold in nature and have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. , it can easily hurt the emperor's nephew, so if any of the family members here are pregnant, remember not to eat it." After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Lianwu intentionally or unintentionally.

"So that's it." Everyone suddenly realized, so the pregnant family members could only sigh while looking at the delicious food.

After hearing this, the imperial concubine felt inexplicably panicked. Before she could say anything, a crisp sound suddenly sounded along with her son's roar: "Don't eat it!"

I saw my son glaring at Zhang Lianwu with an angry look on his face. The auspicious items originally placed in front of Zhang Lianwu were scattered on the ground in front of the table. The precious jade certificate was broken into several pieces, while Zhang Lianwu lowered his head and looked at it. Confused, the imperial concubine's expression changed: "Chun'er, if you and your husband have a conflict, go back to your house to resolve it. Don't mess around here."

This sudden sound also startled everyone. They all stopped and looked at Sima Chun and Zhang Lianwu in surprise.

Hearing his mother's concubine's reminder, the furious Sima Chun suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing the different looks from everyone, he subconsciously turned to look at Qingyun, who was in charge, and opened his mouth to say something. Qingyun already had a foxy look on his face. He asked, "Why doesn't King Chun allow Concubine Zhang to eat this dish?"

"She..." Sima Chun hesitated and didn't know what to say: If Jiu'er knew that Zhang Lianwu had his child, would she still marry him?

"Back to the Ninth Princess." Zhang Lianwu stood up slowly, her wide sleeves skillfully covering her abdomen and said, "I have been feeling a little uncomfortable in my stomach recently, but I can't help but want to taste the delicacies given by the Ninth Princess. Your Majesty is worried. My concubine will feel uncomfortable after eating it, so I stopped her from being greedy."

"The eldest emperor brother and Concubine Zhang are really deeply in love as a couple, which makes others envious. But since Concubine Zhang is not feeling well, please quickly ask the imperial doctor to take a look."

"No need." Zhang Lianwu blurted out in desperation.

"Why is this?" Qingyun said with concern: "Looking at the appearance of the eldest brother, Concubine Zhang's condition seems to be very serious, so it is more important to seek medical treatment in time. If it is delayed, wouldn't Prince Chun be more anxious and worried? "

Zhang Zishan and his wife also looked at their daughter with confusion, while Emperor Huiwen and Concubine Yu looked at each other and seemed to understand.

"Concubine..."

Before Zhang Lianwu could think of words, the imperial concubine smiled and said at the right time: "Thank you very much for the kindness of the Ninth Princess. I have asked Dr. Li to take a look at Concubine Zhang. She said it was because of the hot weather and her appetite was not good, so Dr. Li prescribed the medicine. It'll be fine after some time of recovery."

"Of course Dr. Li's medical skills are good, but Mo Xuan happens to be here, so let Mo Xuan give Concubine Zhang a look. After all, it's always good to have an extra layer of protection."

Before Zhang Lianwu and the imperial concubine could object, Mo Xuan flew in front of Zhang Lianwu like lightning. Without seeing any movement from him, Zhang Lianwu sat back firmly in his seat, then took out a white brocade handkerchief and covered it with On Zhang Lianwu's right wrist, her slender white fingers touched her pulse.

The imperial concubine's face darkened, and she said in her heart: It's over, I can't hide it anymore.

Unable to move, Zhang Lianwu lowered her eyes slightly to cover up the sinister glint in her eyes.

Staring straight at Qingyun, Sima Chun's expression was gloomy and uncertain.

Lin Yiwei's beautiful face always had a cold and indifferent expression, as if she turned a blind eye to what was happening in front of her.

For a moment, Mo Xuan retracted his hand and gently raised it. The square brocade handkerchief covering Zhang Lianwu's right wrist fell to the ground. Then he took out a blue brocade handkerchief, wiped his hands and threw it to the ground. In everyone's astonishment, In the eyes of the imperial concubine and Zhang Lianwu's dark and frightened glares, she jumped back to Qingyun and sat down, but her faint voice hit everyone's hearts like a thunderbolt from the blue: "Concubine Zhang is not suffering from gastrointestinal discomfort, but she has three symptoms." More than three months pregnant."

"Concubine Zhang is very happy to be pregnant for more than three months. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Qingyun said with a look of joy and fear: "Didn't I remind you that pregnant women should not eat it?" Is this auspicious thing? Fortunately, King Chun stopped it in time, otherwise how could he have survived if he had eaten it?"

"Concubine..."

Zhang Lianwu, who had regained her freedom, raised her head and glanced at the person who had been drinking the wine indifferently from the corner of her eye. Her slightly pale lips kept moving, trying to explain but could not utter a single word.

"No matter how much Concubine Zhang likes this dish, she can't be greedy for a while and hurt the emperor's heir in her belly. Besides, I have said that the old man has been invited to the palace to wait for Concubine Zhang. After the birth of the emperor's heir, as long as Concubine Zhang said so, I would ask the old man to cook for Concubine Zhang to taste as much as she could, so why rush for this moment?

As for the imperial concubine, she said that Dr. Li had already diagnosed and treated Concubine Zhang but she had a poor appetite. Is this really a poor appetite?

As for Imperial Physician Li, he was demoted from his position as Imperial Physician and returned to his hometown to take care of himself." Qingyun Qingling said.

Everyone also looked at the three concubines in surprise and confusion.

They have no doubt about Mo Xuan's medical skills, and the Ninth Princess also makes sense. In the current situation where the emperor has very few heirs, Concubine Zhang's pregnancy is a good thing for the royal family and Prince Chun. Why does Concubine Zhang not only conceal it? Don't tell me, but you still want to eat dishes that are harmful to the emperor's heirs?

Judging from the looks of the imperial concubine and Prince Chun, they must have known about Concubine Zhang's pregnancy for a long time, but there was no joy on their faces. Could it be that there was something fishy about this matter?

Zhang Zishan's eyes were dark and he didn't know what he was thinking.

By this moment, the imperial concubine and Zhang Lianwu had already realized that the little bitch had clearly known about Zhang Lianwu's pregnancy, so she used this banquet to reveal it. The little bitch was indeed full of tricks.

At the same time, the imperial concubine glared at Zhang Lianwu bitterly. If it weren't for the failure of her plan, if it wasn't for Zhang Lianwu's value, how could she insist on keeping the child in Zhang Lianwu's belly? How could she agree to Zhang Lianwu's wish? The child Wu gave birth to was adopted by Yiwei, and Zhang Lianwu was given a large sum of money to marry Zhang Lianwu and that person?

Unexpectedly, she was caught off guard by this little bitch, and she even tried to take this opportunity to get rid of Dr. Li, who was loyal to her. It was simply a fantasy!

Thinking of this, the imperial concubine stood up and knelt in front of Emperor Huiwen, pleading: "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Li has been serving as imperial physician for many years and has been working hard. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. How can he be demoted just because he is demoted? Please, Your Majesty. Be merciful and spare Dr. Li this time."

"Mr. Li can't even tell the difference between gastrointestinal discomfort and pregnancy. It can be seen that his medical skills are not as good as before. If he stays in the hospital any longer, if he misdiagnoses a nobleman, or even prescribes the wrong medicine and hurts his father, who will be the consequences? Can you afford it?" Qingyun's words are all Zhuji.

The imperial concubine's expression changed again and again, and she wished she could cut Qingyun into pieces with a thousand knives: "To think that Imperial Physician Li lived alone all his life, and he was the imperial physician personally appointed by the late emperor. Now decades later, he was suddenly demoted and expelled from the imperial hospital. , isn’t he helpless? If word spreads, the subjects will definitely accuse the royal family of treating old ministers harshly..." The imperial concubine tried to pity the late emperor and left his confidant Dr. Li behind.

"Your concubine's words are wrong." Qingyun's face was as calm as water, and her tone was solemn: "Anyone in the palace is not a noble person, how can there be the slightest mistake? And the imperial physician who can serve in the imperial hospital will naturally also He must have superb medical skills and be kind to others. Doctor Li misdiagnosed and almost injured the emperor's heir in Concubine Zhang's womb. His father's failure to dismiss him was an extrajudicial act of mercy, so how could he be allowed to stay again? My father is merciful. Thanks to his years of hard work, he will be given a sufficient pension for his retirement, so will he still be helpless?"

"emperor......"

"Okay!" interrupted the concubine's unfinished words with a cold voice, and Emperor Huiwen said majestically: "Pass the decree, Immediately dismiss Imperial Physician Li from his position as Imperial Physician, and return to his hometown to take care of himself!"

Leng Yi bowed and said: "I obey the order!" Then he went to the Imperial Hospital.

The imperial edict had been issued, and the imperial concubine knew that she had no way to save her life, so she had to return to her seat angrily and sit down. However, she secretly glared at Qingyun, with a cold and sinister light shining in her charming eyes, and the nails of her hands under her long sleeves dug deeply into her flesh. I still don't know the pain inside.
