"You are pregnant, what are your plans?" Concubine Yue knew that Rong Changan would definitely ask this question.
"I don't know, I want to ask the empress, is there any way to get the best of both worlds." Rong Changan glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and sighed in his heart, his appetite is really big.
"How to have the best of both worlds?"
"The concubine wants to leave, and wants to take this child with her. I just don't know how to get out."
Rong Changan chuckled, and put down the fish food in his hand: "You know what you want is too extravagant. Freedom, love under your knees, this is something a harem woman can't get in her whole life. Will you get what you want? Is it too much?"
"Chen Qie knows that she is too greedy, but Chen Qie wants to leave, but she can't let go of this child. She is my flesh and blood, connected with me, and has the same blood. How can I let him stay when I leave."
Rong Changan let out a short sigh, not wanting to give her a way to get the best of both worlds yet.
"You can't have both, you don't understand the truth. Children and freedom, you can only choose one. If you want to be free, I will send you away after you give birth to a child. And your child, regardless of gender , I treat him as my own, and I will treat him well."
"If you choose to stay, there is no need to talk about the glory and wealth of the rest of your life. You know the emperor's love for you."
The concubine Yue didn't make up her mind for a moment, her hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and the jar of fish food fell to the ground.
Rong Changan reached out and held her hands: "You are the one who decides your own affairs. I just came to ask you what you mean. There are still eight months until your flesh and blood are born in your womb. After you take care of your body, there is still a year left." More than a year. Whether to go or stay, you still have a lot of time to think clearly."
"Empress, I..."
"I know you're in a dilemma. I'm afraid that any mother in the world will never let go of her own flesh and blood. No matter what choice you make, I respect you and will help you."
There is no need to say much about the gratitude in Yuebi's heart. She knelt in front of Rong Changan and begged her: "I know that the queen must have a way. I beg the queen, don't separate our mother and child."
"How can there be such a good thing in this world? If you give up, you will gain. You can't let go of this, and you can't let go of that. How can I help you?"
Concubine Yue, it's not like you can get all the benefits by yourself. If you want to leave, I won't stop you, just leave your child behind. If you want to stay, I will treat you well.
"Empress Empress..."
She helped Concubine Yue up, and the two sat down at the stone table: "Don't be impatient, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it."
"In the current situation, the empress thinks it's better for the concubine to leave or stay?"
Concubine Yue has already lost her position when she chooses one of the two.
Rong Changan took a deep breath, and while thinking, gave her an idea: "It's hard to say, both have advantages and disadvantages, it depends on how you choose."
"If you want to leave, you can't leave with the emperor's child. If you take the child away, the emperor will definitely investigate. How can you leave when he sends people to look for you? If you stay, you are naturally You can be with your children every day, but you will lose your freedom for the rest of your life.”
Concubine Yue still couldn't make up her mind, but her thoughts became even more confused: "Let me go back and think about it, this child really didn't come at the right time."
"It's not that he came at the wrong time, it's that you don't know what you want yet."
Rong Changan's eyes fell on her lower abdomen, she wished that this child was her own.
In fact, she could take the child with her, but Rong Changan was worried that if she regretted it in the future and brought her child back to the palace, all the painstaking efforts she had made would be in vain.
"Concubine Yue, otherwise, as I said, you still have more than a year to think about this matter, so don't be impatient. But once you think about it, there is no room for regret."
She nodded heavily, worried: "The concubine knows what the empress said. When the concubine has made a decision, I will discuss it with the queen."
When Rong Changan returned to Fengming Palace, he saw someone kneeling outside Fengming Palace not far away. But they were still far away, and she still couldn't see who the kneeling person was.
"Chuntao, who is that?"
Chuntao also shook her head, but also couldn't see clearly, but fortunately, the little girl next to her had good eyesight, and while looking at it, she pondered: "My lady, I think that should be the imperial concubine. At noon, when the imperial concubine pays her respects, she wears the That's it."
"Didn't you let her go back to her own palace? Why are you still kneeling here?"
Chuntao was still thinking simple, maybe it was because she wanted to say something that Rong Changan would like to hear: "It seems that the imperial concubine and concubine knew that she was wrong, and she is going to apologize to you!"
Rong Changan glanced at Chuntao and smiled, but he didn't think that Ziyan's actions would be so simple.
"I don't think so. If she goes to the emperor's side and blows a burst of fragrant wind, it will be more effective than kneeling outside Fengming Palace for a day."
Suddenly, Rong Chang'an stopped, nodded and smiled slightly, and swayed lightly: "Don't go back to Fengming Palace, let's go to the Shang Palace Bureau to see the Punishment Division."
"Your Majesty, it's almost here." Xiao Dezi, who hadn't slowed down for a while, followed Rong Changan, and said something.
On the other hand, Chuntao is much more delicate when she is careful, the war between women is like this, what Rong Changan did was nothing more than wanting Ziyan to kneel outside Fengming Palace for a while.
"Young son, you can go wherever your mother says."
In the Shang Palace Bureau, Changan sat at the head seat, and all the female officials of the various divisions knelt down to pay respects: "See empress empress."
"Free gift."
"Where is the punishment of the Punishment Department?" Rong Changan swept the crowd, and he could see the female officer holding the sword with one hand.
She took a step forward and bowed again: "The minister is here."
"Yesterday, when Bengong and Concubine Zigui were admiring the flowers by the pond, she pushed her into the water, but she told the emperor that she just slipped on the road and made an unintentional mistake. It is up to you to thoroughly investigate this matter and report to Ben as soon as possible." A statement from the palace."
"I obey the order." She asked Rong Chang'an as usual: "Dare to ask the empress, besides Zi Guifei, was there a third person?"
"There is no one else."
"The court ladies and eunuchs, are there any attendants and guards?"
"Concubine Zigui wanted to talk to me, so she didn't let the people around her follow. The closest palace people are also twenty steps away."
"I know that if there is any progress, I will report to the empress in time."
After talking about falling into the water, Rong Chang'an was accompanied by Master Shang Gong and walked around the Shang Palace Bureau, fell in love with a few palace people in the Shang Palace Bureau, and thought about it for himself.
Wouldn't it be icing on the cake if there were people around me who understood pathology and pharmacology, and people who were as careful as dust
Another idea sprouted in Rong Changan's heart, but she didn't express it in front of Shang Gong.
"Zi Yan, my methods are vicious and vicious, but you owe me this in your previous life!"
What Rong Chang'an meant was to find someone who understood the principles of medicine, and secretly add medicine to Ziyan's daily food. This medicine is a chronic poison, how long does it take for it to take effect, so that it can be hidden without anyone noticing.
Back at Fengming Palace, Rong Changan called Chuntao over.
"Chuntao, go and help me find a candidate..."
"Who?" Chuntao asked.
"Recently, I often don't think about tea and food, and my waist is sore and my back hurts. You can ask me in the palace. Is there anyone who understands medicine? Let him follow me and take care of me. You can say yes. no?"
The queen's health is a major matter for the country, so Chuntao said, "Why don't you let the emperor make an order to find one in the whole country?"
Li Hai must not let Li Hai know about Rong Changan's plan, and he must not reveal any flaws; moreover, the person he chooses must guarantee his loyalty to him, and no one Li Hai chooses can guarantee his loyalty.
"Don't bother the emperor, just go and pay me some attention. People should be honest, talkative, and loyal, like those frivolous and talkative people, don't do it, understand?"
Chuntao smiled: "Naturally! This servant will send someone to search for it." After thinking for a while, she said, "Do you have to look for it in the palace?"
It is estimated that the people in the palace are all owned, and it is best that the unowned people outside are the most reliable.
Rong Changan smiled and said, "I'm tired of seeing people in the palace! Please look for them among the people."
As he said that, Rong Changan took out a jade Guanyin carved from mutton fat jade and handed it to Chuntao: "This is a reward for you, worth no less than a hundred taels of silver. Remember, you are not allowed to mention this matter to anyone, understand?" At the end, Rong Changan's face became more and more serious.
Chuntao panicked and said hastily, "I can't do this! This servant will do it for your mother, and I will definitely not tell anyone about it, or my lips will be sore and rotten!"
Rong Changan was assured of Chuntao, and insisted on handing the Jade Guanyin to her: "Take it, this is a reward for you!"
Chuntao couldn't refuse anymore, so she had to leave Yu behind, leave the palace and ask someone to find someone among the people.
