"Shut up!" Before Yipin could finish speaking, Xu Nian slapped down the table to stop her.There is no proof, and besides, she lied to Concubine Ning about Yugui's pregnancy before, so if she said it now, wouldn't she be slapping herself?Admitting that I was deceiving Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning can definitely punish her for the crime of disrespect, how to punish her depends entirely on Concubine Ning's mood, and I know that she will definitely punish her severely.

Xu Nian's scolding made Yipin and Mrs. Yugui kneel down together in fright. They both knew that the empress was helping them, otherwise, there was no need for her to come here, or delay for a while, waiting for Concubine Ning After dealing with the happy nobleman, come again.

"Physician Liu, are you sure that Yugui is just suffering from a cough?" Xu Nian's fingers were wearing simple gilt nail covers, and the nail covers lightly tapped on the table, making a rhythmic knocking sound. The inner room seems to be ringing in everyone's ears, making people feel tense for no reason.

Imperial Physician Liu was sweating profusely, and he couldn't help stealing glances at Concubine Ning, but Concubine Ning turned her face away, not looking at him. Seeing this, Imperial Physician Liu's body trembled a little, "Return, return to the Empress, Xu Shichen He is not good at learning, and he has not diagnosed that Yugui has a slippery pulse."

"Judge Zhang, come in!"

Xu Nian glanced at Ruyu, and she immediately and cleverly brought Zhang Yuanping in.

"Are you going to take the pulse of Yugui? See if she is pregnant." Xu Nian felt a little sleepy, so he leaned his hand on his head and squinted his eyes.

Court judge Zhang immediately stepped forward for diagnosis and treatment, and replied after a while: "Reporting to the empress, Mrs. Yu is indeed pregnant, and her pulse shows that she has been pregnant for nearly three months."

"Oh? This is interesting. Physician Liu is also an old man in the Imperial Hospital. His ancestors practiced medicine for three generations, and they all worked in the Imperial Hospital. Can't they even diagnose the slippery pulse for three months? According to my opinion, your Liu family This ancestral handicraft, when it comes to you, may be broken." Xu Nian still looked tired, but the words he said were like frost in the twelfth lunar month, which scared Imperial Physician Liu to his knees Trembling there.

"Empress, please forgive me, it's..."

"Doctor Liu, you are so daring! You did this for the sake of the many descendants of your Liu family, and for your family." Concubine Ning snapped.

Xu Nian looked at Concubine Ning with a half-smile, "Concubine Ning, don't get excited, just sit down and reprimand slowly."

"You..." Concubine Ning glanced at Xu Nian, her body was tense, and the handkerchief in her hand was tightly clenched, for fear that Xu Nian would not know that she was nervous.

Xu Nian sometimes thinks about Gao Ningxin's behavior, she is smart, but she always does things without thinking about her head, full of flaws; she is stupid, but she can accurately hit the target she wants to hit every time, Although she is always unsuccessful, her enthusiasm has never been wiped out. On the contrary, she has become more courageous with frustration. She is the only one in the palace who dares to make trouble so blatantly.

When thinking of Gao Ningxin, one has to mention her assistant, Concubine Jia. Concubine Jia has four princes - Yongxuan. She comes from a humble background, but she knows how to judge the situation and is quite cunning.Since Hongli was still Prince Bao, she has been attached to Gao Ningxin. Out of the ten bad things that Gao Ningxin did, she was behind nine of them. Xu Nian believes that it will be the same this time.

Gao Ningxin has followed Hongli for many years, but she has never had anything to do with her. She has no son or daughter. Even if Yugui gives birth to a prince, there is no threat to her. The child in his arms was brought up by himself.Judging from the current situation, the birth of this child will only threaten Jiabi's son.

Physician Liu listened to Gao Ningxin's threats, and put his hands on the carpet and couldn't stop shaking. In the end, he just lay down on the ground and begged sadly: "It's my misdiagnosis, I beg the empress to be kind, beg the empress to be kind... ..."

Poor people must have something to hate, Xu Nian ignored Imperial Physician Liu, and only told Zhang Court Judge: "Go and see that bowl of medicine, what's wrong with it?"

"The empress is suspicious of my concubine!" Seeing this, Gao Ningxin immediately got up and looked at Xu Nian and asked.

Looking at the relaxed look in Gao Ningxin's eyes, Xu Nian guessed that this bowl of medicine was not simple, and sure enough.

"Go back to empress, this medicine is indeed loquat cream." Zhang Yuan judge took a medicine bowl and smelled it, and took a small sip before he replied affirmatively.

"The empress, please forgive me. I have no intention of murdering the emperor's heir. I just misdiagnosed that Yugui is pregnant, and the cough medicine prescribed is not harmful to her. I beg the empress to learn from her." Seeing this, Imperial Physician Liu immediately knelt and walked forward. , begged Xu Nian.

"Empress?" Gao Ningxin also had a three-point smile on her face, looking at Xu Nian proudly, as if she was asking for an explanation.

"What's the rush?" Xu Nian changed her sitting position, and Ruyu added a soft pillow to her lower back to make her lean more comfortably. "Since my second elder brother had a serious illness, I have searched a lot of medical records and read a lot of folk remedies. According to the Pharmacopoeia, this loquat paste should have been made from the old leaves of loquat. The leaves and fruit cores are both poisonous, and if people eat them by mistake, they will have difficulty breathing and vomiting, and in severe cases, they will die."

Physician Liu was so frightened that he couldn't say a word when he heard Xu Nian's words. He knelt there, shaking like chaff.

"It seems that Imperial Physician Liu also knows?" Seeing his appearance, Xu Nian didn't know anything, "Murdering the emperor's heir is a serious crime against the nine clans! Imperial Physician Liu, are you still refusing to say anything?"

"Empress, it was the concubine Jia who ordered me to do this. She was worried that Mr. Yu would give birth to a prince, which would affect the future of the fourth elder brother. It was the concubine Jia who ordered me to do this. What I said is true, please also empress empress Forgive me, I beg the Empress to forgive me..." Imperial Physician Liu glanced at Concubine Ning, and then pushed everything on Concubine Jia.Makes pretty good.

Concubine Ning sat at the bottom and breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was beating wildly. It was really thrilling just now. Fortunately, Imperial Physician Liu was afraid of the power of her Gao family and did not dare to drag her out. Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do today end?

To be on the safe side, Xu Nian ordered someone to find a mouse, and poured Yugui's decoction into the mouse. Within a quarter of an hour, the mouse convulsed and died. Yugui's face turned pale from fright, and he passed out on the spot .

The same dosage is mildly poisonous when used on humans, but it is highly toxic when used on mice. Seeing this, Imperial Physician Liu and Concubine Jia had nothing to say. She, "Your Majesty, please save my concubine? I beg your Majesty to save my concubine? My concubine has no intention..."

Concubine Ning supported her shoulders, and gently brushed her loose hair behind her ears, "Don't be afraid, Yongxuan Bengong will take good care of you."

In a word, Concubine Jia shut up completely, she knew that her natal family couldn't help her with anything.Concubine Ning is the only one she can count on now, but she also gave up on herself, and concubine Jia was thrown into the cold palace like this.

All the palace people involved in this matter could not escape their guilt. The little eunuch who dispensed and decocted the medicine, the two maids who fed the nobleman to drink the medicine, and the imperial doctor Liu were all cut off, and all the clansmen were sent to Ningguta as slaves for life. Not allowed to return to Beijing.

This matter is over. Concubine Ning has calmed down a lot. Recently, she has been staying in her Chuxiu Palace and has not come out to make troubles. Although she wanted to raise the fourth elder brother, Hongli did not agree. The fourth elder brother was handed over to Concubine Xian to be raised.

She came to congratulate Xu Nian on her pregnancy, but she just sat down for a while and left, with a somewhat lonely and envious look on her face.

-

"Your Majesty, you are already seven months pregnant, so don't go wandering around the corridor with your big belly, just tell your slaves what you want." Ruyu supported Xu Nian, who held a bouquet of gardenias in his hand, There is still a little dew on the white gardenia petals, which looks extraordinarily fresh.

"What Ruyu said is that you are heavy now, so tell them to do something, otherwise what's the use of them?" Hongli came to Xu Nian's side while speaking, Ruyu stepped back in time, and Hongli held Xu Nian's waist with one hand , wrapped her in his arms so that she could rely on her, his movements were very gentle.

Xu Nian looked at her and smiled brightly, "The concubine is not as delicate as you said, besides, if you walk around more, the delivery will be smoother, otherwise, the belly is too big, and it will be difficult to give birth when the time comes, it will be difficult... "

"Don't talk nonsense!" Before Xu Nian finished speaking, Hongli raised his hand to cover her lips, and said very nervously: "All gods and Buddhas, don't be surprised when you see it, Rongyin is unintentional." Put the ten together, and bowed in all directions.

Looking at Hongli, who was dressed in smoky blue uniform, clasped his slender fingers, and looked respectful, Xu Nian's heart seemed to be hit hard, sour and numb.

The two sat side by side, Hongli's big hand gently stroked Xu Nian's swollen abdomen, felt the little guy in Xu Nian's belly kick him, and immediately shared with Xu Nian excitedly, "Rongyin, he He kicked me again, he recognizes me, his calf is so strong, he must be a little elder brother."

Xu Nian leaned on the big pillow behind him, and said angrily, "How do you know it's an elder brother? Maybe it's a lively little princess."

"Elder brother and princess are all good, but I can feel that this must be elder brother, there is no such naughty and active little princess." Hongli said, subconsciously giving Xu Nian a squeeze on the back.

It's really inconvenient to have such a big belly. I often get up at night, and my calves are still a little swollen. I have to be more careful in eating, clothing, housing and transportation.

"What about Yonglian? He hasn't come back to Changchun Palace to see me for the past two days. He sent Ruyu to bring him clothes and food. He always said that everything is fine. The concubine is still a little worried. Since she became pregnant, she has cared about him. It’s really not as much as before, and I don’t know if this child will think too much.” Xu Nian chattered to Hongli.

"It's okay, I went to the study in the morning to have a look, and Yong Lian is quite good, probably because he has been practicing horse riding recently, and he is a bit reluctant to leave." Hongli said warmly.

However, Xu Nian noticed that his tone of voice was wrong. When Yong Lian was mentioned, Hong Li always acted like, why do you always care about that brat? He always said how that kid made him angry again. Although the words were complaints, his expression was very proud, which showed the status of Yong Lian in his heart.

"You're lying, did something happen to Yong Lian?" Xu Nian sat up on the soft couch, staring at Hongli closely, his eyes full of anxiety.

Hongli was taken aback by her action, he hurriedly supported her, and then said: "Yong Lian is fine, he fell off his horse yesterday, but he was caught by the master who taught him how to ride a horse, and he was only sprained The foot, the imperial doctor has already checked it, and it is fine, that kid is afraid that you will be worried, so he specifically begged me not to tell you."

Thinking of Yong Lian's tearful face but trying not to cry, Hongli felt distressed. The eunuch in charge of raising horses had been sent to Shenxing Division, but Hongli knew that he couldn't ask anything. Lian's affairs must be caused by human beings, but I don't know whether it is the former court or the harem, or the collusion between the two.

"How can he hide such a big thing from me? He really hasn't grown up yet, and his wings are hardened. When he comes next time, I will definitely beat him up hard, so that he can have a long memory." Xu Nian angrily patted the wooden table next to him, and then glared at Hongli angrily, "You are his emperor ama, you don't say anything when he begs you, is there such a big-hearted ama like you? "

Hongli just looked at Xu Nian and smiled. Since she was pregnant, her temper has grown along with her stomach. She is no longer the Bodhisattva that was enshrined in the temple a few years ago. It became real, "Okay, okay, it's me, I won't do it next time, and if that brat begs me again, I won't agree to him."

"And next time?" Xu Nian's voice instantly increased by three decibels.

"I was wrong, there will be no next time..."

Mingyu and Ruyu guarded the door of the inner room, listening to the emperor answering the queen in a humble way, and hearing how he tolerated her so much, they looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
