The queen tossed and turned for a while, thinking that she might have been drugged. Thinking like this made her face darken a lot.
Who is it that has the guts to harm her? !
Such thoughts suppressed the longing in her heart a lot, she sat up suddenly from the bed, lifted the curtain, and shouted to the outside,
"Come on! Light the lamp."
He Ye was in charge of the night watch tonight. Hearing the queen's order, he quickly lit the candles, and the dark bedroom immediately became much brighter.
"Oh! Empress, why is your face so red? Could it be that you are sick? I'm going to ask the imperial doctor to come over!" He Ye walked to the bed, saw the queen's flushed face, and immediately cried out in worry and surprise.
"No. I'm fine." The queen didn't want to invite the imperial physician, she felt that such a thing was really embarrassing, and she didn't want to make it public.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" He Ye asked cautiously when she heard that the Queen's voice was a little hoarse.
"Go and check, what's wrong with my meal today, and the things I've come into contact with, do they have... an aphrodisiac effect?" When the queen said this, she gritted her teeth.
"Aphrodisiac... aphrodisiac?" He Ye's eyes widened in astonishment, and then she was stunned, no wonder the queen's face was so flushed, no wonder the queen wanted to hide it.
The emperor just happened that kind of thing, if the queen is exposed and drugged, it will be really embarrassing, and she will lose all face!
It is estimated that the Empress Dowager is really going to kill the Quartet!
"Hurry up!" The queen was annoyed by what He Ye saw, she lowered her voice and urged angrily.
"I'm going to investigate now, servant girl." He Ye's heart trembled in fright, she nodded quickly, ready to do something, but she heard the empress's deep voice again,
"Let's investigate this matter secretly, and don't say anything!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" He Ye immediately bowed in response.
After the lotus leaf left, the queen lay down again. After a while, the longing just now had faded a lot, and it could basically be ignored.
"Come here! Prepare water! I want to take a bath." The queen felt that her lower body was sticky and uncomfortable, and ordered with a dark face.
This tossed most of the night, and it was not until dawn that the queen fell asleep comfortably. On the second day, everyone's greetings were directly omitted.
"Your Majesty, the maidservant checked all night and all morning, and looked everywhere carefully, and there is really nothing unusual." He Ye said.
"Are you sure?" the queen asked sullenly.
"The servants also know something about such dirty things. Yesterday, the servants tried the meal of the empress in advance. Even if it is other imported things, others have tried it. Therefore, it is definitely not imported. But other There is really no problem."
The lotus leaf is also puzzled.
When the queen heard this, she couldn't help thinking a little more in her heart. Could it be that she wasn't framed, but because she was thinking about something? !
The queen is also a lady from a famous family, and she is instinctively shy about the things between the beds, thinking about it this way, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed in my heart.
"Where's the emperor? It's morning. Where did the emperor rest last night? How did the emperor react when he found out that Liang Wanyi was pregnant? Have you visited her?" the queen asked.
The empress now felt that she wanted to go to bed, and in the palace, she naturally wanted to find the emperor.
"The one didn't go to court today. The emperor said he was not feeling well. He saw a Wenren imperial physician once. Yesterday, he also rested in Qianqing Palace by himself. The emperor didn't go to Liang Wanyi, but just sent some rewards. It seems that the emperor Going to Liang Wanyi can't be said to have attached much importance to her, just don't pay attention to her at all!"
He Ye told the news one by one, and finally said,
"Yesterday I heard that the imperial physician said that this time the emperor must not have intercourse for a month! I think the emperor will strictly abide by this point!"
"One month..." The Queen frowned, but then she thought that yesterday was just an accident, and today will definitely not be like this.
After the queen made up her mind, she stopped worrying about this matter, but was doing some daily affairs, staring blankly, pruning and trimming potted plants, plotting with the maids to get rid of unsightly concubines and so on.
However, at night, in her sleep, the queen had a dream again, and after waking up, there was a greater desire and emptiness than last night.
The queen couldn't help but panic.
This... Is this because I want to be crazy about men? !
Tossing and turning, tossing and turning, the queen couldn't fall asleep at all for a while!
Holding back her shame, she touched it once by herself, dripping with sweat, and took a shower again before falling asleep.
Such days continued like this, and the queen could not find the reason, but her body's desire became stronger day by day.
This made her very depressed, her face was dark every day, and her anger would explode at any time. The little maids and eunuchs in the entire Fengqi Palace were all doing things with trepidation, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
…
"Huh? You said that the queen calls for water twice every night, and takes a bath twice. This is really strange." Concubine Rong frowned when she heard her eyeliner report this.
At the beginning, Concubine Rong and Xia Liang said when they were preparing to join forces, if the queen had any abnormalities, she would tell her.
Concubine Rong couldn't understand the empress' behavior, thinking that this was a change, so she asked her confidant to go to Xia Liang and tell her about it in person.
Regarding Xia Liang's pregnancy, Concubine Rong was naturally envious and hated. She had been in the palace for so many years and had received many holy favors, but her stomach was not up to snuff and she had never been pregnant.
In this palace, if a woman wants to stand firm, there are two ways, one is the grace, and the other is the child.
The holy favor is based on the fact that the emperor is too philandering, no matter how beautiful you are and how sweet your mouth is, you can't keep the emperor's heart.
Therefore, I can only rely on the child, which is my own flesh and blood!
However, the more childless she is now, the more Concubine Rong wants power!
Concubine Shu has collapsed, and Concubine De is on the same position as herself, and then she is the queen.
Concubine De is Prime Minister Liu's legitimate daughter. In terms of family background, she is on par with me. However, she is the daughter of a great general and has more real power. If the queen falls and she competes with Concubine De, it must be me. Even more advantage!
Therefore, what she has to do now is to overthrow the queen, let Concubine De make mistakes, and then win the emperor's favor.
Now, something has changed in the empress's place, she can't figure it out, so naturally she has to find Xia Liang to figure it out.
... ... ...
Qinxin Palace.
"Wen Ren's imperial physician, my master has been throwing up whatever he eats for the past few days, what do you think we should do?" Xiao Cui asked nervously with a flustered and anxious face.
"This is a normal morning sickness reaction, what are you in a hurry for?" Xia Liang glanced at Xiao Cui speechlessly, smiled, and said to Wenren,
"This little girl is so nervous, I didn't know she thought she was pregnant, not me."
