[Quick Wear] Puhua Fairy is blessed with a long pregnancy

Chapter 25: Queen Tong Jia's Blessing of Pregnancy

Gyeongin Palace

Tingxin and Tingqin looked at Tinglan in surprise, who had returned earlier for some unknown reason.

"Didn't you accompany the master to pay his respects? Why did you come back first?" Tingqin asked.

The four palace maids in Jingren Palace were replaced in turns. Today it was Tinglan's turn to accompany Sheng Huan. Now she came back suddenly. Something must have happened. Thinking of this, Tingxin and Tingqin felt a pang in their hearts.

Tingxin was even more cautious and pulled Tinglan to a corner: "What happened, or does the master have any instructions?"

Ting Lan shook her head and nodded again: "Nothing happened to the master, she just asked me to come back and tell Sister Ting Xin and you."

She looked around cautiously, lowered her voice, and said, "Go check where Aunt Lin went today."

Tingxin and Tingqin looked at each other. Nanny Lin?

Nanny Lin just left Jingren Palace this morning. The reason she left was because she felt pain in her breasts and wanted to see the female doctor from the Imperial Hospital.

This matter has been reported to the master, and the master was even kind enough to give her more silver. Could it be that Nanny Lin...

Thinking of this, Tingxin and Tingqin's hearts froze.

At this time, Ting Lan said again: "The master also said that after Nanny Lin comes back, other wet nurses can no longer feed the young masters."

……

Sheng Huan was kept in the Cining Palace for a while by the Empress Dowager and her companions, and they only released her after they had persuaded her enough.

On the way back to the palace, Sheng Huan was listening to Puhua and the others' reports on the child's condition, and he also knew that Nanny Lin had now returned to the nursery.

Of course, she also knew that Nanny Lin had drugged other wet nurses.

She couldn't help but quicken her pace. As soon as she returned to Jingren Palace, Tingxin came up to her and bowed, then whispered in Sheng Huan's ear.

"Master, Nanny Lin came back more than an hour after she left. Moreover, she not only went to the Imperial Hospital, but before going to the Imperial Hospital, she went to Yuexiajiao first, and she talked with a palace maid for a while."

The corner under the moon is a secluded place where the palace ladies meet their families on the second day of every month.

But Nanny Lin did not meet the requirements for meeting family members. After all, after entering the palace, the wet nurse could not see anyone outside the palace while feeding the princess and the prince, to avoid bringing in any illnesses.

Sheng Huan looked up at the sky: "Well, didn't you ask the wet nurse to feed the child?"

"No, before Nanny Lin came back, it was already past the time for the young masters to drink milk."

Ting Xin lowered her voice and continued, "Master, when Nanny Lin came back, she went back to her room, talked to the nurses in the room for a while, and then went to work. After they left, I went in to search and found a bag of medicine powder under Nanny Lin's bed."

She said with anger in her voice: "Tingqin said it was alcohol powder, but the master has not come back yet, so I dare not act rashly."

Sheng Huan nodded to show that he understood: "Let's go and see the child."

When I entered the baby room, I saw three babies sleeping soundly.

When Tingqin, Tingshui and the wet nurses in the room saw Sheng Huan, they hurriedly bowed. The wet nurses kept their heads down the whole time and no one dared to look up and directly at Sheng Huan.

After Tingqin and Tingshui finished their greetings, they quietly retreated behind Sheng Huan.

When Sheng Huan entered the room, he immediately smelled a very faint, almost gone odor of alcohol, and it came from all the wet nurses in the room.

Thinking about the possibility of the child getting alcohol poisoning from drinking their milk, a flash of anger flashed across Sheng Huan's beautiful eyes.

She glanced indifferently at the culprit, Nanny Lin. Perhaps because she felt guilty, she lowered her head more than others.

Nanny Lin looked no different from usual, but Sheng Huan was extremely sensitive to emotions, and she immediately felt a huge emotional fluctuation from Nanny Lin. Moreover, when she came in just now, Sheng Huan also found that there seemed to be something wrong with her eyes, as if she had been crying.

"What's wrong with Aunt Lin? Why do your eyes look a little red?"

Sheng Huan was teasing the child in the crib and seemed to be asking casually.

When Nanny Lin, who was standing nearby, was called, her heart immediately jumped to her throat: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I wasn't paying attention just now and accidentally let the wind blow something unclean in."

Sheng Huan nodded, not knowing whether he believed it or not: "You went to the Imperial Hospital today, what did the female doctor say?"

Although the rank and level of the female doctors are unknown, they will be given priority if the women in the palace have any unspeakable physical problems.

"My lady, the doctor said that I am fine. It's just that I don't have enough milk for the Third Princess. That's why I sucked too much."

Nanny Lin answered politely, and obviously had no intention of reporting the fact that someone had come to her.

"Besides the Imperial Hospital, where else have you been?" Sheng Huan suddenly asked, his voice already cold.

Nanny Lin's heart skipped a beat. She curled her hands so hard that they turned pale. She tried to calm herself down and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't go anywhere except to the Imperial Hospital today."

Sheng Huan's eyebrows were frosted when he heard this, and his eyes shot at her like sharp swords: "I don't have time to beat around the bush with you. Who did you meet today and what did you promise to do? Tell me the truth!"

Her sudden burst of aura shocked everyone. Nanny Lin and the other eight wet nurses all fell to the ground with a "thump" on their knees. They didn't know if it was an illusion, but Nanny Lin and the others even felt as if they were suppressed by some kind of pressure and they could hardly breathe.

"…Madam, I, this servant, I really haven't seen anyone…"

After all, Nanny Lin was just an ordinary person, and she was already feeling guilty. At this moment, she was oppressed by Sheng Huan's aura, and was terrified and confused, but she still maintained her stubborn attitude.

At this moment, I heard the heart say:

"Master, Xiao Chengzi just called and said that before Nanny Lin went to the Imperial Hospital, she went towards the moat. And the female doctor who treated Nanny Lin also said that she treated Nanny Lin around 9:00 pm, and Nanny Lin left before she had even had half a cup of tea."

Tingqin took over the conversation and sang along:

"Yes, and if I remember correctly, Nanny Lin left Jingren Palace at noon. It only took her half an hour to go from Jingren Palace to the Imperial Hospital. I don't know what she did in the remaining half an hour!"

Nanny Lin was already sweating profusely at this time.

"Your Majesty, have mercy! I, your servant, did not just go to the Imperial Hospital."

Nanny Lin was trembling, and sweat flowed into her eye sockets, stinging her painfully:

"Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year. I just went to Yuexiajiao to see my family. I just talked to my fellow villagers. I didn't go to Yuexiajiao without your permission. I didn't tell you because I was afraid of being punished. Please have mercy on me, please have mercy on me!"

"Tell the truth, if you just met an ordinary fellow countryman, then where did the smell of alcohol on you come from?"

"The palace has a clear ban on palace servants drinking alcohol. As a wet nurse, you are committing an even greater crime. Now that you've been drinking and concealing the fact, it's considered murdering the crown prince. If this matter is reported to His Majesty, your entire family will be in trouble." Sheng Huan said in a calm voice.

Hearing Sheng Huan's words, Nanny Lin was extremely confused. It was not until then that she realized what a stupid thing she had done.

What if His Majesty pursues the matter? How can anyone else protect her family? How can she believe that person is more powerful than His Majesty? But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. She can only trust that person now. She believes that even if the whole family is overthrown, her son can be saved by her. So she gritted her teeth and continued:

"My lady, I am innocent. As a wet nurse, I would never drink alcohol. Maybe I just bumped into someone from the imperial kitchen and got drunk accidentally. I can swear that every word I said is true!"

Sheng Huan laughed directly: "Swear? If you have no intention of murdering the heir to the throne, can you swear on your children and your relatives? If you lie, they will all die and the whole family will be destroyed. Do you dare?"

It is obvious that the child is Nanny Lin's weak point.

Nanny Lin froze in her kowtow. Of course she didn't dare to do it. In this era, they all believed that there were gods above their heads. What if the gods heard it and took it seriously?

Her son was not even four months old. How could she bear it?

"Master, this is what we found in Nanny Lin's room. Doctor Wu said it was wine powder." At this moment, Ting Lan came forward with a tray.

There was a teapot and a paper bag on the tray.

When Nanny Lin saw these familiar things, her whole body froze, knowing that she was really exposed.

When the other eight wet nurses saw the teapot, they couldn't help but feel a chill all over their bodies.

Because Nanny Lin had used this teapot to pour water for them not long ago.

"Your Majesty! I have my own reasons. My husband and brother were imprisoned. Someone came to me and told me that this is the only way to save them. I will never dare to do it again, Your Majesty!"

Nanny Lin was really scared. Thinking about the consequences of murdering the heir to the throne, and thinking about the fact that she had not completed any of that person's tasks, could her son really be saved? Could he survive?

Nanny Lin endured the pain and banged her head loudly, even causing her scalp to bleed.

"Bitch!" Tingqin rushed forward and slapped Nanny Lin twice: "Difficulties?! If you have difficulties, why can't you ask the master for help? You are so bold as to try to murder the heir to the throne. How much has the master rewarded you with? You are such a heartless thing!"

"Tell me quickly, who is the palace maid approaching you!"

"I don't know either. I have never seen her before. I..."

Sheng Huan allowed Ting Qin to interrogate him, then turned to Ting Xin and told her, "Go, send someone to invite the Queen and His Majesty over."

The Queen is the Queen after all. Even though everyone knows that she is the one behind all the trouble, she is now in charge of the harem, and Sheng Huan cannot ignore her at this time.

"Yes." Tingxin heard this and bowed and went out.

After Tingxin left, Sheng Huan's eyes fell on the other eight wet nurses in the room.

The eight wet nurses felt Sheng Huan's gaze sweeping over them and began to tremble uncontrollably. Although they had not done anything and some of them had guilty motives, they were now being used as tools by Nanny Lin.

"The teapot is quite big. Have you drunk the tea in it?" Sheng Huan had a smile on his lips, but it made people feel cold and scary.

"Your Majesty! I don't know about this. I have absolutely no relationship with Nanny Lin, and I dare not murder the heir to the throne! If I knew that Nanny Lin was this kind of person, I would definitely report it!"

The eight wet nurses denied their relationship with Nanny Lin and wanted to clear themselves of the crime.

Sheng Huan glanced at them calmly and said, "Come here, drag all the wet nurses out for interrogation, and let Imperial Doctor Wu see if there is anything wrong with them."

"It was Nanny Lin who did it. It has nothing to do with us. Please spare her, Madam!"

"My queen, please spare my life!"

Seeing that the three cubs seemed to be about to wake up, Sheng Huan patted them gently and coaxed them, in a very calm manner.

"Too noisy, gag him and drag him out!"

Upon hearing this, the eunuch who came in quickly covered the mouths of all the wet nurses with handkerchiefs and quickly escorted them out.

Wu Chen was also invited in at this time to check the child's pulse. After checking the pulse, he finally relaxed his heart, "My queen, the three little masters are fine."

His Majesty entrusted Concubine Tong and the three young masters to his care. If anything happened, he would be killed. Fortunately, he was lucky.

"Well, I'll have to trouble Imperial Doctor Wu to see if there's anything wrong with the other wet nurses."

"Your Majesty, you are too polite." Wu Chen bowed and stepped back.

Sheng Huan had not been in the room for long when Kangxi and Empress Hesheli arrived one after another.

As soon as Kangxi arrived, he held Sheng Huan's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. I'll take care of you and your son."
