Yaoniang woke up groggy, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a small human face.
It's Xiaobao.
He sat cross-legged next to Yaoniang, frowning, and his earnest look seemed to be thinking about something, which made people laugh.
Yaoniang also realized that she seemed to have fainted at this moment, thinking that she had frightened the child, she hurriedly said: "Xiaobao, mother is fine, mother is just..."
A series of hurried footsteps sounded, Yuchan and the other girls all rushed over.
Yuchan pressed her shoulder lightly, "Ma'am, you must not move."
"Whatever you want to do, the servants will come here."
The looks of the girls made Yaoniang think that something was wrong with her, did she suffer from some incurable disease? Immediately his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but glance at Xiaobao.
"What happened to you? Or, what happened to me?"
"Your Majesty, you have nothing to do, and the slaves have nothing to do with it. You have it, and it has been almost three months."
have
It's not the first time being a mother, so Yaoniang naturally knows what it means to have one. She vaguely remembered that when she was pregnant with Xiaobao, she was ignorant, she didn't know what was going on when her belly got bigger, and she thought she was getting fat.
She still laughed at herself thinking, after all this, she can still gain weight.
Until her mother asked her how long she hadn't menstruated, she answered honestly. Her mother cried out and beat her with her hands while crying, saying she was ashamed and what to do now.
At that time, she felt that the sky was falling.
It's not that I don't hate, why I'm pregnant with an evil seed. But not many days later, the baby in the stomach started to move. Especially in the dead of night, he spun around inside, and then spun around, and even hiccupped inside, like a small fish spitting bubbles inside, and he had anticipation unconsciously.
When she gave birth to Xiaobao, she gave birth very quickly.
In order to cover up for her, her sister took her home. Fearing that people would know, she dared not go out, nor did she dare to leave the room, and she just stayed in the house every day.
But my sister said that this is not good, because Fufu gave birth slowly, and what should I do if it is difficult to give birth. So she circled in that square inch every day, turning countless circles, walking towards reality with every step. Before she knew it, it was the day of delivery, and it took her more than an hour to give birth.
The elder sister said that her life was good, and the child knew how to hurt others. At that time, when she was exhausted, she saw the wrinkled little treasure, but her heart was full of bewilderment. This is called fate
But it is true that her fate is good. When my sister gave birth to brother Hong, it took a day and a night.
Obviously it should be a long time ago, after all, she lived two lifetimes, but it seems like it happened yesterday. Yaoniang's tears came out in a rush, and she couldn't tell the joy, anger, sorrow and joy in her heart.
At some point, King Jin came, and Yuchan and the others withdrew.
Sensing someone sitting down beside her, Yaoniang raised her head subconsciously, and saw King Jin's tense face.
"Why are you crying, don't you want to give birth to this king?"
Yaoniang was speechless for a moment.
King Jin's face became even more tense: "Or are you afraid of having a baby and wronging this brat? Don't worry, this king won't treat him badly in the future."
King Jin never said this promise, because there was still a gap in his heart, and he also felt that everything should be done instead of being so clear. But now—
Look at her being so wronged and pitiful, her eyes and nose are red from crying, and she seems to be unable to stop her tears. Think about what Dr. Liu Liang said, saying that pregnant women should avoid overthinking, and avoid great sorrow and joy...
Just now that the King of Jin was away, he asked Dr. Liu Liang about these matters. Dr. Liu Liang wrote three big sheets of rice paper with all his attention and taboos written on them. King Jin was sitting outside watching, when he heard a few girls inside asking her what was wrong in a panic.
He immediately panicked, knowing that there was nothing wrong with her, but his heartbeat stopped for a moment. After coming in, she saw that she was fine, she was just sitting on the bed crying, surrounded by a few girls, and realized her embarrassment.
Fortunately no one saw it.
The little boy, Xiaobao, was sitting beside him, looking at his father, who had always been stern, coaxing his mother with a stern face.
Yes, after the analysis just now, Xiaobao has concluded that the mother's belly is the second treasure, so he is still Xiaobao, not the seed of the dead man. The reason for this conclusion is that in the previous life, when the mother was pregnant with the second treasure, there was a poisoning incident in the palace, but in this life, she changed from the mother to the side concubine Hu.
Of course, all of this is speculation, but Xiaobao has this feeling in his heart.
"I didn't, I'm just a little surprised, I still have milk, why did I get pregnant..." Yaoniang blushed and muttered.
King Jin coughed lightly, "I have asked Doctor Liu Liang that it is not impossible for a breastfeeding woman to conceive."
When this matter was brought up, King Jin panicked. He obviously planted a lot of seeds in the little nanny's stomach, but there were no seedlings. Doctor Liu Liang once told him in private that the poison in his body might affect his offspring, so he never paid attention to it deliberately. If he had known that a woman who is breastfeeding is not easy to conceive, he would have been weaned long ago.
Hearing King Jin's words, Yao Niang whispered.
She didn't expect that she didn't realize it after being pregnant for so long, and since she gave birth to Xiaobao, her menstruation has never come. Many women come after weaning their children, so she has never taken it to heart.
Yaoniang couldn't help staring at her stomach, there it is, there is a little treasure inside
"You rest first, I still have some things to do, I will come to see you when I'm done."
Only then did Yaoniang remember that she seemed to have fainted in the Liuchun Hall before, what about Concubine Hu
"Have you found out how sister Hu Fangfei was poisoned?"
There was a gloomy look in King Jin's eyes, and he said, "You don't need to care about this matter, so you can rest." After finishing speaking, King Jin left.
Leaving the mother and son behind, Yaoniang said to Xiaobao a little foolishly: "Xiaobao, you're going to have a younger brother soon."
She is still a little slowed down.
Xiao Bao wanted to cover his face, not to mention that no one could tell whether the baby was a boy or a girl. Besides, his life experience is unknown at this time, and his father is still unknown on his shoulders, so how could he become his younger brother and sister.
But it was true, he poked Yaoniang's stomach with his little finger.
Inside is the second treasure.
There is an inexplicable expectation in my heart.
In the study room of Zhaohui Hall, King Jin sat behind the desk, with Liu Liangyi and Fucheng in front of him.
"You speak first."
Before that, Yaoniang fainted suddenly and was diagnosed as pregnant, which interrupted the investigation of the death of Concubine Hu. King Jin took Yaoniang back to Rongxi Courtyard, leaving only the words to let the concubine and others disperse.
Since the king of Jin sent Liu Liang doctor there, he must have wanted to investigate. If the people under the king of Jin were to investigate, naturally there would be no tampering. Of course, Concubine Xu would not continue to bite her.
"According to the old man's investigation back, Concubine Hu should have been poisoned with Tripterygium vine mixed in it. The person in the Tripterygium vine can lie dormant for more than an hour, and the symptoms do not appear in junior high school. Once the poison occurs, it will collapse like a mountain. There are other factors, but it is not easy to see what kind of poison was poisoned. In addition, the old man asked those girls, and there is no special mark on Concubine Hu's body, so the suspicion of forced poisoning is ruled out."
"Where was she more than an hour ago?" This question was asked by Fucheng.
Fu Cheng said: "It should be to Mrs. Su..." Seeing that King Jin's eyes narrowed, he hastily changed his words: "It should be when Concubine Hu went to Siyi Court."
"However, this time depends on the dosage, which is not certain." Liu Liangyi added.
The King of Jin looked at Fucheng again, and Fucheng continued: "The old slave has been ordering people to keep an eye on Concubine Hu. Before she was poisoned, she had no contact with outsiders, nor did she have any unusual behavior. She even beat and scolded her twice today. This little girl scolded Madam and Wangfei a few words, but there is really no sign of suicide by taking poison."
Fucheng hesitated to say the last two sentences, but it was precisely this kind of behavior that proved that Concubine Hu was no different from before.
In terms of her character, Concubine Hu is indeed not someone who would be overwhelmed with suicide, that's why King Jin ordered someone to investigate.
Inexplicably, a side concubine died in the mansion, and she was also the side concubine of Shang Yujian. This was an insult and provocation to King Jin.
"Then where did this poison come from?" This kind of poison is not something that Concubine Hu can get.
"This—" Fucheng lowered his head.
King Jin sneered, and said in a moment: "Order someone to keep an eye on Xu Yanru."
"yes."
At the same time, the atmosphere in Siyi Courtyard was stagnant.
For no reason, a side concubine died. For no reason, this side concubine Hu actually came to Siyi Courtyard before she died. For no reason, Princess Jin was put on a hat that was suspected of poisoning the concubine's room.
Although King Jin didn't say anything, but it happened that he didn't say anything. Princess Jin knew that he was suspicious of her.
Naturally, this suspicion was not groundless, and Princess Jin knew it well.
Mentioning this would lead to a secret incident many years ago. This is something that Princess Jin has always been reluctant to reveal to others. It is also because of this incident that King Jin despises her, loathes her and suspects her.
Little did she know that she hadn't contacted that person for many years, and his suspicion made her feel pained, but she couldn't explain it.
Zhou's mother persuaded from the side: "Princess, don't think too much, if you haven't done it, you haven't done it. Your Highness won't believe that bastard's words."
Mentioning this made Zhou's mother angry.
She felt that her daughter and wife would never be able to get rid of the curse of being called Yulan. The wife had suffered from Mrs. Yulan's life, and now it was the girl's turn to suffer from that bitch's daughter.
"Let the servant say, if you want to poison Xu Yueru, you will poison her to death, let her be so bad that she can't wait to pull you down, and sit in the position of the princess, and don't see if you are qualified! It's not the servant complaining, the Duke Master is too cruel, sending this little bitch here, isn't it pricking your heart... "
Princess Jin smiled wryly in her heart.
It's right to be ruthless, her father has always been ruthless. She has been ruthless to her mother all her life, because she is the only daughter born on the first line, and she is very important to her, so she married King Jin and took the position of Princess Jin.
But all of this is not based on the relationship between father and daughter, but for the benefit. Seeing that she could not give birth to the eldest son of Prince Jin's Mansion, she sent another daughter here, for fear that the throne of Prince Jin's Mansion would fall into the hands of others.
Without his father's support, Xu Yueru would never dare to do this. Concubine Jin even knew that she must not make mistakes, because if she made a mistake, Xu Yueru would take advantage of the situation to make a big fuss, and at that time, the position of Concubine Jin would have to be replaced.
Anyway, they are all daughters of the Xu family, so his father won't care, and neither will His Highness.
Concubine Jin couldn't help thinking of the Su family. If Concubine Hu went to Rongxi Courtyard today, but was poisoned and died when she came back, Her Highness would never be like that at that time.
Inexplicably, she felt a little jealous.
Zhou's mother was still nagging: "...The Su family is really lucky. The entire family has let her conceive. If the fetus is a boy—" She paused, and hurriedly said: "If it is really a boy... Ding, your empress must come and raise her."
Princess Jin has a headache. Her nanny is getting old and confused, is it time to care about this? She winked at Zihan, and when she was busy, someone came to interrupt and invite Zhou's mother out.
After Zhou's mother left, the room fell into silence.
Concubine Jin sat there alone thinking quietly, suddenly she seemed to think of something, her voice became tight: "Go and call Ziyu over."
Zihan froze for a moment, then got busy.
Everyone in the palace knew that there were four maidservants beside the princess, named after Zi.
As everyone knows, there are not four purples, but five.
There is also Ziyu.
This purple jade is in charge of Princess Jin's private treasury, being able to sit in this position shows that this person is trusted by Princess Jin, but this person seldom shows his face in front of others.
When Ziyu came, she bowed respectfully to Princess Jin, and then stood still at the next place.
Concubine Jin retreated to the left and right, and even Ziyan and Zihan gave way.
When Zi Yan retreated, she glanced at the princess, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
Concubine Jin looked at the person in front of her, many things flashed in her eyes in an instant, bewilderment, memories, melancholy...
For a long time, everything was silent.
Princess Jin asked: "Is today's matter related to you?"
