Chapter 636: Cruel Palace Maid x Sinister Eunuch (6)

"What did you say? The Queen is pregnant?"

A sharp female voice was heard from Changle Palace, followed by a series of crackling sounds, obviously someone was smashing something.

Concubine Shu sat on the chair in astonishment, holding the table with one hand, her eyes full of disbelief.

And at her feet, there were broken pieces of porcelain scattered all over the ground.

Wei He stood silently by the side, watching Concubine Shu quietly, waiting for her emotions to calm down.

After Concubine Shu had vented her anger, Wei He slowly stepped forward and asked softly, "Do you want to get rid of the baby in her belly?"

Concubine Shu raised her head abruptly, glared at Wei He, and replied bluntly: "Not touching the child is my bottom line."

For many years, she and the Queen had been fighting endlessly in the palace, but there was an unwritten rule between them - not to touch the royal heir.

This rule has been silently followed by both parties and has become a tacit understanding in their struggle.

Wei He smiled slightly and said jokingly: "Seeing you so angry, I thought you would not be able to resist and do something to the baby in the queen's belly!"

Concubine Shu rolled her eyes unceremoniously and snorted, "The emperor now has only three princes and two princesses, and their mothers are not of high status. Now that the queen is pregnant, this balance has been broken. Isn't it a foregone conclusion that the heir to the crown prince will be the heir?"

As she spoke, she thought of something and said impatiently, "The Emperor might also make me pregnant, so that my son can compete with the Queen's son!"

The emperor ascended the throne at a young age, and it can be said that the previous dynasty has always relied on those important ministers.

The father of Concubine Shu was a general who held military power. The father of the Queen was the chief minister of the dynasty, the head of the civil officials, and had many students.

As long as the Emperor has not completely taken control of the court, he will not allow Concubine Shu and the Queen to become pregnant.

Over the years, Concubine Shu and the Queen have not been able to get pregnant because the Emperor put contraceptives in the tea they drank.

No one in the entire Imperial Hospital dared to speak of this matter.

However, it doesn’t matter whether I say it or not.

After all, both Concubine Shu and the Queen knew it in their hearts.

How could a noble lady who had spent more than ten years training herself to be so stupid? She never questioned why she hadn't gotten pregnant in all those years?

But they can only pretend not to know and try their best to regulate their bodies so as not to be affected.

Shu Guifei didn't know whether the Queen's pregnancy was allowed by the Emperor, or whether the Queen wanted to have a child so she changed the contraceptive pills?

Her mind is a little confused now and she can't sort out her thoughts.

Seeing her frown, Wei He said softly, "Even if you don't take action, won't the other people in the harem take action? They won't just watch the queen give birth to a legitimate son. By then, we will know the emperor's attitude."

Concubine Shu frowned even more tightly, "But I'm worried that the emperor will make me pregnant! Mother is..."

She didn't finish her words, and her expression showed a hint of sadness.

Wei He's usually calm expression also became a little scary, and he frowned and didn't say anything.

Suddenly, he said, "Choose a concubine and let her give birth to a child, and we will adopt her."

When Changle Palace has a child, the emperor should use medicine to prevent him from having an heir.

After hearing what Wei He said, Concubine Shu did not object immediately, but lowered her head and began to think.

On the other side, Fengyi Palace.

Imperial Doctor Chen took the Empress's pulse as usual, gave her careful instructions on some precautions, and then picked up the medicine box and prepared to leave.

Yu Yan smiled as she sent him out, but he suddenly took out a yellowed book from his arms and handed it to her: "Miss Yu, this is a summary of my years of medical experience. Take it! If you have any questions, you can always ask me."

Since coming to Fengyi Palace, Imperial Doctor Chen has had frequent contact with Yu Yan and was deeply shocked by her talent in medical skills.

Yu Yan was not only diligent and studious, but also often brought medical books to ask him questions. Doctor Chen admired her thirst for knowledge and spirit of research.

Unfortunately, Yu Yan is only a first-class maidservant beside the Queen. If she could focus on studying medicine, she would definitely become a famous doctor who would benefit the people in the future.

Yu Yan took the book he handed over, bowed to him solemnly, and said, "Thank you, Doctor Chen, for teaching me so much."

Although she is just pretending now, she is only using reasonable medical skills.

But Yu Yan was very grateful that Doctor Chen taught her his medical skills without reservation.

"You are a medical genius and are very interested in medicine. If I don't teach you, I won't be able to sleep at night, for fear of being chased and scolded by the ancestor in my dreams."

Doctor Chen helped Yu Yan up, stroked his beard and smiled heartily.

The two of them exchanged a few more words at the palace gate, and Yu Yan watched Doctor Chen leave.

Yu Yan walked back into the palace and saw the queen leaning on the couch, touching her belly with her head down.

There was a smile on her lips and her expression was very gentle. The sunlight came in through the window and sprinkled on her body, making her whole body seem to be glowing.

Seeing Yu Yan coming in, the smile on her face became even bigger, she waved and said, "Yan Yan, come quickly."

As soon as Yu Yan walked over, the queen grabbed her hand and placed it on her belly, saying gently, "Yan Yan, I have a baby in my belly! He is very healthy."

"Well, he'll always be healthy."

Yu Yan smiled and nodded, following her words.

Although the Queen was only about a month pregnant and there was still only a small embryo in her belly, fetal movement would not occur until four or five months.

Even if I touch my belly now, I can't feel any reaction from the baby.

Perhaps because she became a mother, the queen felt that she could feel the baby in her belly.

"I am really happy. This child is my treasure. I don't ask for anything, as long as you can live a peaceful and smooth life."

There was a gleam in the Queen's eyes and her tone was full of anticipation.

Yu Yan looked at the queen's happy expression and felt happy for her. She smiled and said, "Miss will definitely give birth to a healthy prince."

In private, the original owner always called her Miss Queen.

"It doesn't matter if he's a prince or a princess, as long as he's healthy and happy."

The queen smiled and said, her face filled with the radiance of maternal love. Then she thought of something and her expression became complicated again. She whispered, "The concubines who have princes nowadays are all from weak families and low positions. Now that I have a child, I am afraid that I will become a thorn in the eyes of the entire harem."

Yu Yan gently stroked the queen's belly, and then comforted her: "Miss, I will always watch over you during this period. Don't worry, he will be born safely."

"Thanks a lot."

The queen looked at Yu Yan gratefully and held her hand.

"Miss, you don't have to say these words. These are what I should do."

Yu Yan replied with a smile.

The queen shook her head. How could this be right?

Although they are master and servants, haven't there been many slaves who betrayed their masters since ancient times?

And recently she has to read those medical books, which is really too tiring.

The queen knew that Yu Yan took the initiative to learn medicine for her.

Thinking of something, her face turned pale, and she continued, "The Emperor has always forbidden Concubine Shu and I to get pregnant, and has always put abortion drugs in the tea we drink. We didn't change the drugs secretly, and we don't know why this child is pregnant. Will he have any problems?"
