The Job of an Imperial Concubine

For Zhuang Luoyan, it didn't matter who did the fighting, the important thing was that she gave those who wanted to do it a rest. Glancing at Concubine Xian Gui and Qian Wanyi who were kneeling on the ground, she played with an orange expressionlessly, her slender fingers slid across the skin of the orange, leaving ugly marks on the smooth skin.

Feng Jin noticed her action and guessed that she was afraid in her heart, so she looked at Qian Wanyi even more sharply: "I want to know, when did you have such thoughts?" Flipping through the medical books presented, This is the harmful prescription above.

"Mallow, safflower, mylabris, centipede, citrus aurantium, raw southern star..." Every time Feng Jin reads the name of a medicine, the face of the imperial doctor waiting in the room changes even more. After half a life, the child will naturally not be able to keep it, but if it is placed in the house, it will be fine for a while. After a long time, even if the child in the womb is born, it will most likely be different from ordinary people. This method It's vicious enough.

"Tell me, what will happen if no one finds out these soils?" Before the imperial physicians finished feeling, they heard the emperor ask them. He is a master of gynecology and often comes to ask for the pulse of Concubine Zhao, so it is always right for him to answer.

"Returning to the emperor, these medicines are easy to cause fetal miscarriage. For example, mylabris, centipede and other highly poisonous substances are forbidden for the weak and pregnant women. Although mallow seeds and other substances are not highly toxic, they have the effect of promoting birth. Efficacy.” Imperial Physician Mao couldn’t help it, so he had to kneel down and say, “If the concubine Zhao has been in contact with these things for a long time, even if the fetus can be saved, the fetus will easily become unhealthy after birth.”

"What a well-informed Qian Wanyi," Feng Jin squeezed the book in his hand, and threw the book in front of Qian Wanyi after a long while, looking at her coldly, "Under this beautiful skin is actually Hiding such an ugly heart, I really lost my sight."

The corners of Qian Wanyi's lips twitched, but she couldn't say anything to justify. She did indeed do the thing. She didn't even think that things would go so smoothly. People found out.

The queen couldn't believe it, why did Qian Wanyi do such a stupid thing, Qian Wanyi had no children, and whether Zhuang Luoyan had any children, it had nothing to do with her. what good?

"Qian Wanyi, why did you do such a thing?" The queen frowned, "Do you know the crime of murdering the emperor's heir?!"

"Of course the concubine knows," Qian Wanyi sneered, "I'm not the only woman in the harem who wants her to have a miscarriage. I'm afraid even you, the empress, don't want this child to be born."

"Shut up!" Feng Jin swept away the cup at hand, and the cup flew up and hit Qian Wanyi, making a hole in her forehead, splashing tea all over her, looking very embarrassed.

Feng Jin once heard people say that a fetus has a soul, and if he hears that people outside do not welcome his arrival, he might really not stay. He pointed at Qian Wanyi angrily and said: "My child is the expectation of all the people in the world. What's the use of keeping a poisonous woman like you!"

The expectation of thousands of people in the world?

Concubine Xian's complexion changed when she heard this, she suddenly looked up, but saw the calm faces of the Empress and Concubine Zhao, gritted her teeth, and finally lowered her head.

The queen saw that the emperor's complexion was not good, so she said: "Your words are wrong. I hope that Concubine Zhao will give birth to the child safely." She looked at Qian Wanyi with a calm expression, but her tone was unprecedentedly serious, " This palace is already infertile, so it is a good thing for this palace that the person in the harem gave birth to a prince for the emperor. Qian Wanyi, your thoughts can only represent yourself, how do you know what other people think."

Qian Wanyi looked at the queen in disbelief, what is infertility? But the queen no longer looked at her, as if what she just said was just a trivial matter.

Not only Qian Wanyi, but also Concubine Xiangui and Zhuang Luoyan were shocked by this matter. The empress' infertility has never been mentioned before. If the empress said such things in front of so many people today, wouldn't she be telling others? , her queen is just an empty shelf, and the next emperor has no blood relationship with her?

Feng Jin also looked at the queen with a trace of surprise, he was slightly taken aback and said: "Caifu, why are you doing this?"

The queen smiled in relief: "Your majesty, what will happen sooner or later, so what?"

Sooner or later? Zhuang Luoyan felt a little wrong when she heard this, but seeing the indifference and resignation on the queen's face, she understood that the queen might not only be talking about the heirs, but also about the Zhao family.

It turned out that the queen had always understood it in her heart, but she chose to accept it. Zhuang Luoyan turned her head to look at Feng Jin, and suddenly thought, maybe because of the queen's sensible behavior, the emperor would not kill the Zhao family. If not, why would the emperor call the empress by her boudoir name?

Pick hibiscus flowers, don't pick hibiscus leaves. The general will ask his husband and son-in-law how he looks like a concubine. Recalling this poem by Bai Juyi, Zhuang Luoyan's heart twitched slightly, and she turned her eyes away from the indifferent smile on the queen's face.

Concubine Xian stayed silently, she didn't know what the queen meant, but she subconsciously felt that this was not something she should know.

"I understand." Complicated emotions appeared on Feng Jin's face, and then he returned to normal. He looked at Qian Wanyi and said with a blank expression: "Qian Wanyi has evil intentions, premeditatedly murdering the prince, and gave her three feet of white silk."

Qian Wanyi suddenly raised her head to look at Feng Jin, and was about to speak, but was blocked by a eunuch with quick eyes and hands.

Concubine Xian was shocked, although the emperor was not obsessed with women, but most of the concubines who committed crimes were just demoted or thrown into limbo, and now they are directly killing Qian Wanyi! She looked at Zhuang Luoyan's swollen belly with envy and awe, how much does the emperor value this child? !

"Help your master go back to rest." Feng Jin glanced at Zhuang Luoyan who was sitting next to him, "Don't worry, I will explain to you."

Zhuang Luoyan glanced at Qian Wanyi who had her mouth covered, obediently supported Yun Xi's hand and exited the main hall, and only after she got out of the main hall gate did her complexion gradually return to normal.

A few days ago, the palace waited for the servants to deploy, and there were people in each palace who transferred each other. She had written down these people and watched who would take advantage of whom. If it is not discovered at this time, the person who strikes will naturally be happy. If something happens, there are people who can excuse it.

Perhaps the only regret is that the perpetrator didn't expect to find out so quickly, so fast that she didn't even have time to process the evidence of the perpetrator. Thinking of this, Zhuang Luoyan showed a sneer, she doesn't like to embarrass women, but she can't let others embarrass her.

If Qian Wanyi doesn't make a move, she won't jump into the pit she buried long ago. She looked up at the sky, and suddenly said with a smile: "Yun Xi, how many people in the harem do you think are waiting to see the good show?"

Yun Xi didn't dare to answer this question, so she could only say: "Your Majesty, as long as you are well, you don't have to worry about anything else."

"Of course I don't have to worry about it," she smiled. She never thought much about this place in the harem, accepting her duty, which is the professional ethics of a concubine. In her previous life, she was able to do well in the workplace, but in this place, she would naturally abide by this rule.

Seeing her smiling calmly, Yun Xi thought she was in a bad mood, so she persuaded: "Now the emperor has given... fine Qian Wanyi, who will dare to be rampant in the palace in the future, and everything will be fine when the little prince is born." The imperial physician has already said that the empress's fetus is very likely to be a prince, but the empress does not let people talk about it, so others will not know.

Zhuang Luoyan took a look at Yun Xi and sighed: "You girl just worry too much. I'm fine. When you go back, ask someone to bring you the goose egg soup. I'll use some." The magistrate Mao said that although goose eggs are nothing It is a rare thing, but it can remove fire, detoxify and nourish. It is good for both mother and child, so she will use a bowl of goose egg soup every few days.

Yun Xi carefully wrote it down.

In the main hall of Xihe Palace, Feng Jin looked at Qian Wanyi who had her mouth covered in panic, and said indifferently: "I don't care what you think, but I can't tolerate murdering your heirs. Come here, drag it down, and leave Xihe during the execution." The palace is farther away."

Hearing the words, Gao Dezhong hurriedly asked someone to drag Qian Wanyi down, followed him out, and said to a leading eunuch: "You need to understand the rules, the emperor attaches great importance to Concubine Zhao and the unborn child." After speaking, He also threw a silver coin to this person.

The leading eunuch immediately understood that Director Gao wanted someone to lure his soul so as not to offend the people in Xihe Palace. He was also clever, he didn't dare to take the money and hurriedly exchanged it, saying in his mouth: "Don't worry, father-in-law, the little one will definitely do a good job. Murdering an unborn child, even if it comes to the bottom, is still a crime!"

Gao Dezhong nodded in satisfaction, and when the leading eunuch retreated with a flattering expression, he sneered. He watched Qian Wanyi being dragged forward like an animal, and said to the little eunuch who was following him, "Do you know what this is called?"

The little eunuch hurriedly nodded and bowed his waist and said, "I don't know, so please give me some advice from my father-in-law."

Gao Dezhong withdrew his gaze, and said calmly: "This is death." After speaking, he left the little eunuch, bowed and walked into the main hall. The little eunuch was left wondering, who would know that Qian Wanyi murdered the prince to seek death? Why did Eunuch Gao make such a confusing statement?

Qian Wanyi was dragged down, and all the servants kneeling in the hall were driven out, only Xiao Xizi, who worked for Qian Wanyi, was dragged out and beaten to death with sticks, without even a single grievance.

After the people in the palace were completely cleared, Feng Jin looked at the queen and said, "The eldest prince is not young anymore, so he should go out and live alone. You can see where the palace is suitable and arrange a place for him." What this means is that Concubine Xiangui can no longer interfere with the eldest prince's affairs.

"Your Majesty, the concubine and the eldest prince are deeply in love with each other..." Concubine Xiangui had red eyes and wanted to tell her relationship with the eldest prince, but was interrupted by Feng Jin.

"You have only been raising the eldest prince for a few years. You are not his mother or the biological mother. How can you talk about the deep affection between mother and child?" Feng Jin glanced at her lightly, seeing her aggrieved look, and said annoyedly, "If you If you forget the rules, let the nanny teach you well, you don't have to worry about this matter, let the queen handle it."

Concubine Xian was speechless for a while, so she could only choke her throat and say: "I obey the order."

"From now on, the Queen will be in charge of all affairs in this palace." Feng Jin stood up, "I don't worry if you do things." After finishing speaking, he took his people and left.

The empress hurriedly stood up and saluted and sent them off. When the emperor was far away, the empress looked at Concubine Xian who was somewhat disappointed, "It's time for me to go back. Why not go with Concubine Xian? After all, this is Concubine Zhao's." It's better not to disturb her rest."

Hearing this, Concubine Xian forced a smile, "Yes." This smile was extremely bitter.
