Hua Manman never expected that King Zhao would say such a thing.
Others don't know the inside story, but Zhao Wang, as the person involved, is very clear that the two of them have not yet consummated their marriage.
Since there is no consummation, where will the children come from
When a normal man encounters this kind of thing, his first reaction is to suspect that he has been cheated.
But King Zhao didn't care about this at all, and he even asked her to give birth to the child.
Hua Manman couldn't help sighing in his heart.
This man's heart is really broad!
She was the one who wrongly blamed him before, she shouldn't have called him a dog man, she should have praised him for being kind-hearted and tolerant, he is a very good person!
When Li Ji heard her voice, the smile on his face froze slightly.
No, he refused to accept the good guy card.
Hua Manman coughed lightly, and pretended to explain.
"Actually, the concubine was lying just now, and the concubine was not pregnant at all."
Liu Shizhong, who had just been awakened, happened to hear this sentence, and immediately rolled his eyes in anger, and passed out again.
Siyun looked at Hua Ruren in astonishment, and asked in disbelief.
"Are you not pregnant?"
Hua Manman admitted frankly: "That's right, the situation forced me to say that because I had no choice."
Li Ji sneered: "So many people heard you say that you are pregnant just now, and within a day, everyone in Yuqing Palace will probably know that you are pregnant with this king's child."
Hua Manman quickly gave a countermeasure.
"First find a way to explain it. If you really can't explain it clearly, then say that the concubine had a miscarriage."
Li Ji didn't say a word, it was acquiescence to her suggestion.
Soon General Wang returned with the Dragon Knight.
They took away Liu Shizhong, who was covered in blood and unconscious.
After the emperor learned of this, he specially called King Zhao over to comfort him personally, and finally said.
"I heard that your Ruren is pregnant. This is a great joy. I will ask the imperial doctor to show Hua Ruren later. I must help her keep the baby."
Li Ji gave a rough account of Hua Manman's fake pregnancy.
Hearing this, the emperor was rather disappointed.
"I thought you were finally going to have a queen, but I didn't expect it to be a joy in vain."
Li Ji responded lightly: "This kind of thing can't be rushed, anyway, it can't be rushed."
The emperor sighed: "That being said, you are not too young, it's time to have a child."
Li Ji obviously didn't want to bring up this topic, so he just kept his mouth shut.
Seeing this, the emperor felt helpless and amused.
This kid is still playing with him.
Although the fact that Hua Manman was pregnant was false, the emperor still sent her many supplements to appease her frightened little heart.
Hua Manman is naturally very happy.
She picked out a box of bird's nest from the pile of rewards, and asked Siyun to stew it in the small kitchen.
As soon as the bird's nest was out of the pot, Hua Qingqing came.
Hua Manman immediately entered the performance mode of the brain-dead supporting role.
She sat on the low couch, raised her chin slightly, and said arrogantly.
"It's really the right time for you to come, that's all, let you also enjoy the glory and taste the bird's nest bestowed by the emperor."
Siyun filled a bowl full of bird's nest with rock sugar and put it in front of Hua Qingqing.
Hua Qingqing is not very interested in bird's nest.
She came this time mainly to see her second sister.
"I heard that an assassin sneaked into your room this morning and took you hostage. Are you injured?"
Hua Manman snorted, "It's just an assassin, how could it hurt me? You really underestimate me."
Knowing that she was not injured, Hua Qingqing was finally relieved, and then asked again.
"Someone said you are pregnant, is it true? How many months? Have you been seen by the imperial doctor?"
Hua Manman eats the bird's nest for a while.
She tried her best to pretend that nothing happened, and said calmly.
"It's false, I'm not pregnant."
Hua Qingqing was surprised at first, but then showed disappointment: "What a pity."
If the second younger sister can give birth to a son and a half for King Zhao, her position in Prince Zhao's mansion will be more stable, even if the concubine enters the door in the future, she doesn't need to worry too much.
It's a pity that the news that the second sister is pregnant is false.
But soon Hua Qingqing was relieved again.
Pregnancy is not necessarily a good thing.
Whether it is the process of pregnancy or childbirth, it is extremely difficult and dangerous for women.
If you are not careful, you will end up with two dead bodies.
Hua Qingqing didn't want her second sister to experience such danger.
So there is nothing wrong with not being pregnant.
Hua Qingqing tasted the bird's nest, before talking about another matter.
"Last night, the sixth prince suddenly had a fever, which frightened Concubine Shu very much. He sent someone to invite the imperial physician overnight, and even the saint and the empress were alarmed."
Hua Manman thought of the crying child eating glutinous rice dumplings.
He is thin and small, and he looks like he is not in good health. In addition, he was in the rain yesterday, and his mood fluctuated a lot. It is normal to have a fever after returning home.
Fever this year is not a minor illness, especially for a child with a weak physique like the sixth prince, it is even more dangerous.
Hua Manman is a little worried.
But reason told her that these things had nothing to do with her, and she didn't need to meddle in her own business.
Hua Qingqing noticed that although the second sister didn't speak, the movement of eating the bird's nest was obviously slowed down, and she was obviously listening to her, so she continued to talk considerately.
"When I went to pay my respects to the Empress this morning, I didn't see Concubine Shu.
I heard that concubine Shu stayed by the sixth prince's bed all night and took care of him all night without taking off her clothes.
It's a pity that the sixth prince's illness has not improved, and he still has a fever.
According to the empress, the current situation of the sixth prince is not very optimistic. "
Many children died in the palace.
For example, the eldest prince who was born to the original queen died of an emergency.
There are also the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince, who also died of illness shortly after birth.
In addition, two other princesses also died when they were very young.
If the sixth prince's fever did not improve, then he might become the sixth child of the current emperor to die.
Hua Qingqing couldn't help sighing when she said this, her tone was full of sympathy.
"The sixth prince is really pitiful. He fell ill right after his concubine's mother died. I don't know if he can survive it."
A cup of bird's nest is finished.
Hua Manman mercilessly served tea to the guests.
As soon as Hua Qingqing left, Hua Manman put down the teacup.
Looking at the pattering rain outside the window, she couldn't help thinking of when her grandparents died of illness, she was so sad that she couldn't eat, and finally she was so hungry that her stomach hurt and she had to go to the hospital to see a doctor.
She registered alone, queued up alone, took medicine by herself, hung water by herself, and went home by herself.
She was alone the whole time.
No one can help her.
At that time, she deeply realized what loneliness is.
How similar is the sixth prince now to her in the past
One thing that the sixth prince is better than her is that at least someone will accompany him when he is sick.
