Chapter 247 did not give the Queen any time to perform.
"Don't mention that I've been pregnant with a dragon fetus before. Even if I haven't, I've seen it many times. Pregnant with a child is like getting a gold ingot, showing off everywhere. After all, they are petty people who have never seen the world."
Hua Fei glanced at it casually, and then said:
"I almost forgot that Ling promised to be a second-class maid when she came out of Yikun Palace. She couldn't even get a first-class maid. No wonder you are so short-sighted. It is common for pregnant women to vomit during pregnancy. But if she keeps vomiting, Ling promised you should be careful."
Before Hua Fei finished her words, the Queen interrupted her.
"Okay, Hua Fei, you should say less. Ling promised that she is pregnant with the dragon descendant, so there is nothing wrong with eating more. The right thing to do is to give birth to a prince for the emperor." The queen tried to stimulate Hua Fei by the matter of giving birth to a prince.
Concubine Hua didn't know anything at the time, but if she continued, there were so many smart people in the palace, Yixiu believed that there would be someone who would not be suspicious.
There are three pregnant concubines in the palace now. Fortunately, the emperor has left the palace temporarily, so he has a chance to breathe and can deal with Ling Xiang's background simply first.
Ling Xiang was just a palace maid from a bondservant family. Just as Hua Fei said, she didn't even make it to the rank of first-class palace maid in the Yiku Palace. If it weren't for her wanting to provoke Hua Fei and if Ling Xiang hadn't flattered her, she would not have used her.
But it seems that Ling Xiang is useless now.
Apart from the New Year's Eve banquet which really irritated Concubine Hua, afterwards Concubine Hua actually shrank into the Yikun Palace as if she had suffered a great injustice.
If Hua Fei was so angry that she could attack Ling Xiang, she could also control Hua Fei by accusing her of murdering the palace concubines, but Hua Fei did nothing.
Later, she wanted to keep Ling Xiang to inquire about the things in Yikun Palace. After all, Ling Xiang still left an ear in Yikun Palace. But unexpectedly, that ear was also found by Concubine Hua very quickly.
After such a long time, Ling Xiang had not given her any useful information except that Concubine Xin, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Hui were on good terms with Concubine Hua.
Does she need to say that Concubine Xin, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Hui are on good terms with Concubine Hua? It's easy to figure it out.
The Queen originally thought that if Ling Xiang could compete for favor peacefully, she could be given a place.
Unexpectedly, Ling Xiang could still get pregnant! A woman from Yikun Palace could still get pregnant!
Zhang Mi's original explanation was that the second-class palace maid might not have inhaled much musk, and Ling Xiang was a fertile physique, and the emperor was in his prime, so it was natural that she could get pregnant.
The Queen believed Zhang Mi's words at first, but after Noble Lady Fucha recovered, the Queen became suspicious of Zhang Mi and asked Jiang Fuhai to spend a lot of money to investigate whether there was any problem with the Huanyixiang in the Yiku Palace.
Jiang Fuhai's investigation revealed that everything was still the same and there were no problems.
Perhaps it was God's will. The queen's intuition did not believe it, but she could not find any other reason.
The queen even investigated the Imperial Medical Bureau inside and out, but found no clues.
Concubine Hua drank her tea by herself and didn't take the Queen's words seriously.
There is certainly no problem with the Huan Yi incense in the Yiku Palace. Hua Fei has been using the Huan Yi incense she gets from the Ministry of Internal Affairs since the moment Ling Xiang became pregnant.
It was only recently that I exchanged for the one that my sister-in-law sent to the palace.
As for the uterus-warming medicine that each of the maids in the Yikun Palace had, last year Concubine Hua asked Wei Lin to study it and then drafted a prescription. The medicinal materials were all sent in from outside by Miss Sun. Later, when the epidemic broke out, she used the excuse of preventing the epidemic to distribute the medicine without having to hide it. Now, what Miss Sun sent in were pills.
As for Ling Xiang, when she took the medicine distributed by Yikun Palace, she had said that it was a medicinal herb for preventing colds in winter. Ling Xiang would never think of this and tell the Queen.
After all, her eyes were fixed on who would make friends with her.
"Eh?" Concubine Qi's classic "Eh" broke the awkward atmosphere in the palace. "Your Majesty, what were you going to say before Concubine Cai came in just now?"
Concubine Qi finally found a topic that would not provoke Concubine Hua and seemed to be on the Queen's side.
I am on the Queen's side, why does the Queen always have to prove herself?
"Thanks to Concubine Qi for reminding me, otherwise I would have almost forgotten." The Queen resumed her dignified and majestic demeanor as the head of the harem. "Noble Lady Fucha suffered a lot of grievances because of Sang'er. After several investigations, I finally found out that the person who secretly gave Sang'er the horse blue was Xiao Tang from the laundry department."
"Since there are three pregnant concubines in the palace, it is not appropriate to kill them. I have ordered Xiao Tang to be caned fifty times and sent to the Ministry of Punishment to serve her sentence."
"Because Concubine Fucha suffered recently, Jianqiu, you should send the blood swallows that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has just presented to me to Yanxi Palace to help Concubine Fucha to have a safe pregnancy."
"Noble Lady Fucha, you can rest assured now. Good times will come. I believe you will be able to give birth to a healthy prince for the Emperor."
After being delayed for such a long time, Concubine Hua almost forgot about this matter. Sang'er committed suicide. It was obvious that the Queen Mother had secretly sent people to observe her for a long time, and when she saw that the Queen was about to be exposed, she took action on her behalf.
The following events were all just excuses given by the Queen to justify herself.
"Oh, the Queen is so capable. After so many days, the truth was found out just in time for the Emperor to go on tour. It's just a pity for sister Fucha and the prince in her belly." Concubine Hua despised the Queen's ability to make big things small and small things disappear.
"Sang'er suddenly hanged himself, and the clues were cut off. It took me a lot of effort to find Xiao Tang."
Xiao Tang, the scapegoat of the imperial kitchen in his previous life, and the scapegoat of the laundry department in this life.
Concubine Hua felt indifferent, after all, this matter would eventually have to have a result to show the emperor.
As for the grievances in Noble Fucha's heart, who cares?
I was given just one serving of blood swallow's nest, how shabby.
Noble Lady Fucha was originally a woman with fair skin and picturesque eyes and eyebrows. Now that she has recovered her beauty, she has also acquired a somewhat intriguing charm due to her pregnancy.
Now, listening to the Queen's instructions, Noble Lady Fucha's face was as calm as water. She stood up, bowed, expressed her gratitude, and sat down dutifully.
After this incident, Noble Lady Fucha felt as if she had been reborn. Perhaps it was because Concubine Hua was reborn, and Noble Lady Fucha's temperament had changed drastically. Others might think it was because of the epidemic lockdown, but Concubine Hua didn't think so.
It's impossible that noble lady Fucha changed her soul when she was infected with the epidemic.
Having read too many books about gods and ghosts recently, Concubine Hua feels that everything in her head is quite weird.
Hua Fei leaned on the chair and lazily lifted her handkerchief. She felt that it was meaningless, so she raised her orchid finger, pressed her temple with her fingertips, and said:
"Ouch, where did this evil wind come from? It's making my head hurt again. I came out to pay my respects to the Queen despite being ill. I've been sitting here for a long time. I'm afraid that my illness will spread to all the sisters, so I'll take my leave now."
Just resign if you want to, but Concubine Hua insists on being naughty. The feng shui of Queen Yin Yang's Jingren Palace is bad, which gives her a headache.
Songzhi tactfully helped Hua Fei up. Hua Fei turned sideways, bowed to the Queen, and left.
The queen was not given any time to perform.
