On the night of New Year's Eve, everyone in the palace had to stay up with the Emperor and the Empress, and no one was allowed to sleep.
However, the queen was pregnant, so she made an exception and returned to the palace to rest.
She was accompanied by Nanny Xing and Liu Qiaoer.
The Queen asked Nanny Xing to stay with her and asked Liu Qiaoer to go back to her room to rest.
Just as she returned to the room, the alarm sounded in the space. When the god Liu Qiaoer came to the space, she saw a file uploaded to the computer.
Liu Qiaoer opened it and found it was written by Du Zixu, which roughly meant that Cui Boyao had gone back unexpectedly, but for Liu Qiaoer, he had to come back to continue helping.
Because traveling through the same place again might not necessarily lead to the prince's reincarnation, and might cause unnecessary impact, Du Zixu did not agree and let Liu Qiaoer complete the task alone.
However, this time Du Zixu gave the information that the person who was going to overthrow this feudal dynasty had not yet been born, and would probably be born three years later.
Liu Qiaoer will wait for him in this place for at least twenty years until he is born and grows up.
However, the address is already known to Liu Qiaoer, as well as her date of birth.
Liu Qiaoer was speechless when she saw these clues.
Three years later, why is she here now? Twenty years later, overthrowing Beiyuan will mean chaos in the world.
The most important thing is that Cui Boyao can't come to help her, so she has to fight alone.
Unexpectedly, Du Zixu wrote another sentence at the end.
There is still a lot of time, so live every day well. When you have time, you can date, make money, upgrade your space, complete the task, and return immediately.
Fall in love, make money, upgrade your space...
He would assign tasks to Liu Qiaoer.
After experiencing Lu Yunzheng, Liu Qiaoer really doesn't want to be moved by any man anymore. She's tired.
She wanted to lie down, but someone wouldn't let her.
Early the next morning, Zhang Lingzhi came quietly.
"Qiao'er, did you have a good night last night? Are you sleepy? I brought you some snacks that were just made in the imperial kitchen. Please try them."
In the garden outside the Queen's bedroom, Liu Qiaoer and Zhang Lingzhi sat on a stone bench. She was indeed a little hungry, so she ate freshly made snacks, drank hot tea, and smiled at each other.
"I'm doing fine. The Queen was kind and didn't let me stay up late. I went to bed early. As for you, I heard that Concubine Shu was not feeling well last night. Did you go to see her again..."
Zhang Lingzhi nodded and looked at Liu Qiaoer's cute appearance, becoming more and more pleased.
"Yes, she sat there for too long and had a miscarriage. She has taken medication to maintain the pregnancy and is fine now."
Liu Qiaoer knew that Concubine Shu was not feeling well, but it would not happen for a while before she had a miscarriage.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingzhi continued, "However, I really noticed her dressing box this time. It is made of rosewood. It looks like rosewood on the outside, but it actually exudes the fragrance of sandalwood. And her pillow seems to be made of sandalwood as well."
Liu Qiaoer frowned. She didn't see Concubine Shu's bed, and the pillow was also made of sandalwood. This shouldn't be the case. Could it be that someone in the palace wanted to harm her
"No wonder she can't smell the scent of sandalwood. I'm afraid she has become accustomed to it. Have you told Concubine Shu?"
Zhang Lingzhi shook his head: "This fragrance is not easy to detect. I don't know whether I should tell you. In this palace, the more you know, the faster you die. I will just pretend that I didn't see it."
Liu Qiaoer sighed: "You did the right thing. You should be prudent and protect yourself. Even if you told her, she might not treat you as her own. If she doesn't find out anything, she might even dislike you for making a fuss."
If you don't have a backer in the palace, you really have to live your life with caution.
But no matter how careful Zhang Lingzhi was, disaster still befell him.
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival passed and spring arrived. When the weather was warm and the flowers were blooming, Concubine Shu finally came out of the house, holding her bulging belly and walking around as if showing off.
As they were walking, they saw Zhang Lingzhi and a young woman walking and talking and laughing. Shufei looked carefully and found that the concubine was the third concubine who was pregnant after her, Concubine Li. Her father was a general under the Marquis of Zhennan, and she had a close relationship with the queen.
Concubine Shu's eyes rolled and an idea came to her mind.
Holding the help of a palace maid, she slowly walked towards Concubine Li. Concubine Li was listening to Zhang Lingzhi's instructions to her. She inadvertently saw Concubine Shu. Just as she was about to salute, she saw Concubine Shu extending her hand to her.
"Sister, you are pregnant now, please stop..."
Before she could utter the word "Li", she slipped and quickly pulled Lipin to the ground.
Before Zhang Lingzhi could react, he instinctively went to pull Concubine Li.
It didn't matter if it was pushed and pulled, but Concubine Li, who had just gotten pregnant, had a miscarriage.
The emperor was furious, but instead of blaming Concubine Shu, he blamed Zhang Lingzhi for being careless.
Not only was Zhang Lingzhi removed from his position as imperial physician, he was also arrested and imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment.
When Liu Qiaoer got the news and went in to see him, Zhang Lingzhi had been beaten badly.
Looking at the embarrassed Zhang Lingzhi, Liu Qiaoer was filled with anger: "Shu Fei is too unreasonable. It's ok for her to harm Li Fei, but how could she also implicate you? You should know that it was you who helped her to keep the baby."
Since she even harmed the imperial physician, Liu Qiaoer was not polite to her.
The Queen's belly was getting bigger, so the concubines in the palace were exempted from the morning and evening visits. However, they had to come to pay their respects every five days.
On this morning, all the concubines in the harem came to pay their respects to the Queen. Shu Fei was once again the last one to come. She walked around in a swaggering, arrogant and spoiled manner, which was very annoying.
The palace maids poured tea for each concubine, but Concubine Shu never drank a drop of water from the Queen's palace. After Liu Qiaoer found the right position, she stood outside the inner door.
The place where all the concubines passed by.
Concubine Shu did it for a while and was about to leave. However, when she passed the inner door, the palace maid beside her supported her, and Concubine Shu suddenly smelled a strong fragrance.
"The fragrance of the maids in the Queen's palace is getting stronger and stronger, and you don't take care of it."
Liu Qiaoer just stood there and said coldly: "This is not the scent of rouge, it is the scent of medicine, used to help the queen to have a healthy pregnancy."
When she heard about the medicine for abortion, Concubine Shu stopped and asked, "Are there flowers mixed in the medicine for abortion?"
Liu Qiaoer smiled faintly and explained, "Honey, the queen was afraid of bitterness, so she added a little."
Concubine Shu frowned and said, "It would be better if my pregnancy-preserving medicine was also sweet."
Liu Qiaoer didn't say anything and waited for Concubine Shu to leave.
At noon, Concubine Shu complained of stomachache and asked the imperial physician to treat her.
Zhang Lingzhi's father retired and returned to his hometown. After Zhang Lingzhi was arrested and thrown into prison, another imperial physician was called in to take his pulse.
It’s fine as long as nothing goes wrong, but if something goes wrong, even the imperial physician will panic.
"I really don't know the prescription of Xiao Zhang, the imperial physician, for maintaining pregnancy. Our medical family has its own prescription. Since the queen has asked Xiao Zhang to treat her from the beginning, it would be inconvenient to change the doctor in the middle."
This is true. The prescriptions of ancient medical families were kept secret, and everyone had different specialties. Zhang Lingzhi was good at gynecology.
Hearing what he said, Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and said, "Go, go and get the female doctor from the Queen's Palace. She was the one who examined me when I was first pregnant."
But Liu Qiao'er was the Queen's own physician, so whether she was willing to lend him the money was another matter.
The maid had no choice but to ask the Emperor for permission, fearing that the Queen would not lend the money. The Emperor hurried to the Queen's palace to ask Liu Qiaoer to help with the diagnosis.
The queen snorted coldly: "No."
