This is the custom of burying concubines in the underworld left over from the previous dynasty.
Generally, it was when the living emperor felt indebted to his father that he would choose an innocent medical woman to be buried with mercury so that she could take care of the late emperor in the underworld.
Before leaving Dragon Burial Mountain, Wen Qingzhu took Yunxian away.
Arriving at the other courtyard where Luo Chan once lived in the capital, Wen Qingzhu asked Shaoyao to stay.
She said to Yunxian: "From today on, your name is Guanyue. I will let Shaoyao teach you the necessary medical skills. In a month, I will send you to Prince Ning's mansion. I don't need to tell you what to do then." "
"But, won't King Ning recognize me?" Yun Xian was a little nervous.
But Wen Qingzhu smiled: "I will have someone perform plastic surgery on you. You are too ugly now and you are not worthy of the name Guanyue."
Yunxian's expression froze, but she was unable to refute.
If she was beautiful enough, Prince Ning would indeed have taken a liking to her early on.
Rather than wait until now.
After leaving the hospital, Wen Qingzhu went to find Sun Junming and told him the essentials of plastic surgery.
Sun Junming was not surprised, but he was a little unsure: "Can I really test it on real people?"
"Yes, this is an opportunity." Wen Qingzhu patted his shoulder, "Don't be afraid, it doesn't matter if you fail. I will just find someone else to continue the surgery for you."
Sun Junming nodded, understanding what she meant.
But in his heart he warned himself that he must succeed.
Three days later, Sun Junming completed the operation.
Wen Qingzhu personally sent Baiyu Muscle Ointment to Guanyue to repair the wound.
Just because she moved her bones this time, the injury was very slow.
However, Wen Qingzhu had also been prepared. As long as Guanyue's injury was not serious, the trauma would not matter.
After all, this was the only way she could enter Prince Ning's Mansion without attracting attention.
As soon as she returned to Xue Mansion, Lei Shuo was already waiting for her at the door.
"Sister Shuo?" Wen Qingzhu knew her reason for coming, but she didn't know the specific details yet.
After all, Mrs. Jingyuan Hou is very measured in her actions.
After arriving at Luoying Pavilion and sitting down, Lei Shuo was so angry that he almost broke the table.
"Sister Shuo, if you have anything to do, why don't you just tell her." Wen Qingzhu comforted her softly.
But Lei Shuo couldn't calm down at all. She clenched her fists, stared at the snow outside and said, "I have no choice. I can't pretend to be sick anymore."
"Did Concubine Li force you?" Wen Qingzhu thought that Concubine Wen had given birth to a son, and Jiang Yue looked at her differently, and Prince Ning's palace might not be able to sit still.
Lei Shuo nodded: "This time Marquis Jingyuan went to see my grandfather in person and told me about my marriage. If it weren't for the fact that I still have an unmarried sister above me, I'm afraid they all want to get married tomorrow!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lei is sensible. During the Chinese New Year, you will be less stressed." Wen Qingzhu thought about the next thing and thought to himself that Prince Ning might not be able to get married.
Lei Shuo calmed down a bit and looked over in a blink of an eye: "Is it because King Chu is coming back?"
"There must be this reason." Wen Qingzhu smiled and did not tell Lei Shuo directly.
But Lei Shuo and Wen Qingzhu had been together for so long, so he didn't know that she must have something to say.
But she didn't ask any more questions.
The New Year is almost here.
That day, as soon as Wen Qingzhu went out, he saw Li Qing waiting at the door.
"Miss Wen."
"Miss Li?" Wen Qingzhu looked at the visitor with confusion.
Li Qing stepped forward, looked at her carriage and asked, "Are you going to the palace?"
"Well, what's the matter with Miss Li?" Wen Qingzhu looked at her suspiciously, always feeling that Li Qing's appearance was ordered by Prince Ning.
Li Qing saw her doubts and explained: "Don't worry, Miss Wen. My coming here today has nothing to do with my cousin."
"Then why are you here?" Wen Qingzhu still remembered that this woman wanted to kill her before.
Li Qing looked around and whispered: "Miss Wen, can you get in the car and talk in detail?"
"No need." Wen Qingzhu didn't want to talk to this kind of person in detail.
Li Qing's face stiffened for a moment, but she could only hold back her temper and said, "Okay, I'll keep the story short. I heard before that you kept Xia Feiyuan's child?"
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows: "What? Is there anything wrong with this?"
Li Qing's face turned a little red: "I, I want to ask you to do me a favor in a few days."
"What do you mean?" Wen Qingzhu stared at Li Qing and subconsciously looked at her belly.
Li Qing's face turned redder and she whispered: "Yes, I am pregnant with my cousin's child, but he doesn't want to stay. When the time comes, I will drink the abortion pill and ask Miss Wen to do this for me. "
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but take two steps back, trying to stay away from Li Qing: "Miss Li, I'm afraid I can't help you with this."
Li Qing wanted to say something else, but Wen Qingzhu got in the car without looking back.
Seeing this situation, Li Qing turned purple with anger, but there was nothing she could do.
Her child is already three months old, and my cousin will not keep the child here!
When they arrived at the palace, Wen Qingzhu met He Wenru.
She was walking in the palace with King Jing.
"I've met the princess and Prince Jing." Wen Qingzhu greeted him happily.
He Wenru saw her and waved: "Why are you so polite?"
Just as Wen Qingzhu was about to speak, he suddenly heard King Jing coughing.
He Wenru was startled and quickly took King Jing to the nearby Nuan Pavilion to rest.
Wen Qingzhu followed and checked King Jing's pulse.
He was found to be weak, but nothing abnormal.
"Is there a problem?" He Wenru was very nervous.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head and turned to ask her: "There is nothing wrong with His Royal Highness Prince Jing, but his physical condition does not look very good. If you have time, you should go out for a walk more often. You can also practice riding a horse and practicing swordsmanship."
Unexpectedly, He Wenru sighed: "I said the same thing, but my father was too worried about Xiao Jiu and worried that something would happen to him, so he kept him locked up in Qingning Palace and didn't allow him to come out."
"This is not possible!" Wen Qingzhu frowned immediately.
"No, it's because of my repeated assurance today that Emperor Father asked me to take Xiaojiu out for a walk." He Wenru also knew what the problem was, but no one dared to disobey the emperor's words.
After chatting with them for a while, Wen Qingzhu went to Jingping Palace where Concubine Wei lived.
Jiang Yuanhan has moved out alone, so Wen Mingxuan is not here either.
After the screen retreated, Concubine Wei said directly: "Some unusual things have happened in the palace recently. Concubine Luo has also sent news, and those people are starting to prepare to take action."
"I understand. Are Yuanhan and Mingxuan ready?" Wen Qingzhu was not worried about anything else but their safety.
Concubine Wei nodded: "We are basically ready. To be on the safe side, Xiaofeng wrote a letter asking Xin Zhong to come back as soon as possible."
"That's good."
Concubine Wei asked again: "Have you made plans yet?"
Wen Qingzhu hesitated for a moment: "Not yet, because I don't know what the specific situation will be. Prince Ning was poisoned and rested in bed, but Prince Chu still has strength. I'm worried that they will be intimidated."
"You don't have to worry about this." Concubine Wei lifted the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu took it and looked at her puzzled.
Concubine Wei explained: "Concubine Li is not someone to be trifled with, and neither is Marquis Jingyuan. They have suffered such a big loss, how can they let it go? Just wait and see, King Chu will not live a good year."
Wen Qingzhu nodded and took a sip of tea, which was the latest black tea.
On the day of Xiaonian, King Chu returned to Beijing.
But their carriage hit Li Ran and Xia Feiyuan's carriage.
Xia Feiyuan immediately held her stomach and looked grim, then turned red.
Mrs. Jingyuan Hou directly found Concubine Li about this matter.
Concubine Li went to the emperor without saying a word and asked Jiang Yuancheng to accompany a child to the Marquis of Jingyuan.
Jiang Yue felt that he owed Concubine Li and her son before.
Now that Jiang Yuancheng has returned to Beijing, he has also lost a child from the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Jiang Yue decided to let Jiang Yuancheng go back to the canal to reflect.
Wanbi got the news and quit immediately.
Prince Huai is on the verge of a comeback this year, and Prince Ning is even more arrogant because of his own poisoning.
In Qianyuan Palace, Concubine Wan knelt in front of Jiang Yue.
"Your Majesty, Cheng'er is walking on the road smoothly and at such a slow speed that he will definitely not hit the carriage of Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, let alone knock out the child in Mrs. Li Shizi's belly!"
Jiang Yue stared at her and said, "Then what do you think should be done about this matter?"
This cold and unhappy tone made Wanbi's heart skip a beat. Is she being ignorant this time
But when I think of worshiping my ancestors, Cheng'er is not there.
This time, Prince Huai's Mansion also had an heir, and Concubine Wan was very unwilling to do so.
"Your Majesty, I heard before that Mrs. Li Shizi almost lost her child, but the child was still saved. The fact that the child can be saved under such circumstances means that Mrs. Li Shizi is in good health. I think it is necessary to ask the imperial doctor to confirm! "
Jiang Yue was silent for a moment, knowing that this incident was probably intentional by the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion.
While he was hesitating, Concubine Li ran over again, this time taking Mrs. Jingyuan Marquis and Xia Feiyuan with her.
"Your Majesty, I heard that my sister wants to check the body of my niece-in-law. Why not ask the High Court to come over and take a look?"
Concubine Li stared at Wan Bin angrily, with a very unkind look on her face.
Hearing this, Wanbi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xia Feiyuan really didn't have a child
In view of the requests from both parties, Jiang Yue had no choice but to invite the imperial doctor.
After the High Court made diagnosis and treatment, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Li Shizi has indeed had a miscarriage!"
As soon as these words came out, Wan Bin and Jiang Yue looked at Mrs. Jingyuan Hou and Xia Feiyuan in shock.
Did they work so hard
In order to prevent Jiang Yuancheng from coming back for the New Year, he even gave up his own grandson
Xia Feiyuan had something in her heart, so she immediately knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, please let me make the decision!"
Mrs. Jingyuanhou regretted it endlessly. She had planned it well, but why did she have a false pregnancy and actually have a pregnancy? !
This made Mrs. Jingyuan Hou regretful, and she knelt down with a few tears: "Your Majesty, I don't ask for anything, I only ask His Highness the King of Chu to compensate me for my grandson!"
Concubine Li raised her chin and looked at Jiang Yue: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has confirmed it. If you still don't believe it, why not ask Miss Wen to come and take a look. She happens to be with Concubine Wei."
Jiang Yue actually didn't believe it, but the High Court judge would definitely not lie.
The High Court judge didn't know what Jiang Yue was thinking, so he immediately asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Miss Wen to come over and take a look."
"That's okay." Jiang Yue agreed.
Just when Wen Qingzhu heard about the affairs of Marquis Jingyuan and King Chu, Jiang Yue sent someone over.
Arriving at Qianyuan Palace, Wen Qingzhu looked at Xia Feiyuan's body.
The answer was still the same as the High Court judge's answer: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Li Shizi has indeed been pregnant."
There was another sentence she didn't say. Xia Feiyuan's situation was clearly caused by medical abortion, not by being hit at all.
She glanced at the High Court Judge, and both of them understood what the other meant.
It seems that Xia Feiyuan deliberately aborted this child.
This matter was actually confirmed, no one expected it.
Jiang Yue was in a dilemma, but finally called Jiang Yuancheng back and asked him to personally apologize to Marquis Jingyuan.
But Mrs. Jingyuan Hou put forward a condition for Jiang Yuancheng to marry; Li Qing to be the princess!
How could Jiang Yuancheng agree? Naturally, they broke up on bad terms.
But Mrs. Jingyuanhou became anxious, and Li Qing could no longer hide her stomach!
