Chapter 129 Wrong
"Your Majesty, do we want it?" Rong Pei's words were somewhat tentative.
What she meant was whether or not to suppress Concubine Ling so that Ruyi could maintain her position as the Empress.
Although Concubine Ling usually did not show her true colors and only did small moves to win favor, they could see through her little thoughts clearly.
Rong Pei had good intentions, but it was a pity that Ruyi always considered herself noble and would not do such a thing to compete for favor with the concubines, nor would she take the initiative to suppress the concubines.
As expected, Ruyi shook her head upon hearing this: "Never mind. Concubine Ling is just using some tricks to seduce the Emperor. I don't care about such despicable behavior. As long as she doesn't harm the concubines and the heir, I won't bother with her."
Ruyi considers herself noble and has always felt that Yanwan's methods are despicable. Even trying to discipline her would make her feel that it would dirty her hands and lower her status.
Even if she danced violently in the harem, Ruyi would not take it to heart.
Ruyi always felt that arguing with her was lowering her status.
Seeing her like this, Rong Pei sighed slightly and gave up the idea.
...
After hearing what Yan Wan said, Yingpin was very motivated. In less than half a year, news of her pregnancy spread. After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to the emperor's sixth princess.
The fifth princess Jingsi was born weaker than other children because she suffered from a heart disease and could not stand being frightened. Even after two years of careful care, she was still weaker than the other princes and princesses.
Not long after the Sixth Princess was born, Ruyi and Yanwan were both diagnosed with pregnancy, but Ruyi's baby was four months older than Yanwan's.
When Concubine Ling was diagnosed with pregnancy, the threshold of Yongshou Palace was almost broken down.
Not to mention Concubine Mei and Concubine Shu who were on good terms with her, Concubine Ying and Noble Lady Ke also went to Yongshou Palace every day, and even Concubine Qing and Concubine Wan, who had always been unknown, came to celebrate in person.
Yihuan was the happiest one among them. She looked at Yanwan's belly with anticipation in her eyes.
They had been friends for nearly ten years, and things had changed in those ten years. She had watched Yan Wan yearn for a child, watched her drink bowl after bowl of pregnancy-maintaining medicine, and now that her wish had finally come true, how could she not be happy for her?
Now, more than two years have passed since the death of the tenth prince Yongyue. She has finally overcome the pain with the company of her two good friends.
Over the past two years, her favor has been on and off, and her relationship with the emperor has become increasingly distant. In the past ten years since entering the palace, she has long seen through the royal family's coldness.
She no longer had any expectations for the man she had once loved so deeply. Now, all she wanted was to live her life to the fullest and spend the rest of her life peacefully with her sisters.
Seeing Yanwan looking at her belly with joy, Yihuan suddenly had a flash of doubt in his mind, and he realized that something was wrong.
Seeing her expectant expression, she asked doubtfully, "Sister, there has been no news of Shengpei for many years, so how come she is suddenly pregnant now?"
When Yan Wan heard this, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
She has been waiting for this moment for so many years.
It was useless for her to tell him proactively. She had to find out for herself and uncover the hypocrisy of the man she loved.
In this way, she will know that there is no such thing as true love in this harem.
Yan Wan gently stroked her belly, pretending to think and shook her head, saying, "Sister, you don't know. I've drunk so many pregnancy-maintaining medicines over the years, but they didn't work. The last time I saw my sister get pregnant after stopping the medicine for a while, I felt that the matter of the royal heir couldn't be rushed, so I drank it intermittently. Later, at Mulan Paddock, the emperor advised me that I was still young and that medicine is three-quarters poisonous, so it would be better not to drink the pregnancy-maintaining medicine and take care of my body. Since then, I haven't drunk it again. I didn't expect to get pregnant so soon. I thought I was unlucky and would never be able to conceive in this lifetime..."
As Yihuan listened, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
How come I got pregnant right after I stopped taking the medication? I was in the same situation before. I had been taking medication without any effect. I had given up hope, but then I got pregnant right after I stopped taking the medication.
Yihuan vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this pregnancy-maintaining medicine.
She suddenly felt very anxious and a very ridiculous idea came to her mind.
"You should take good care of your baby first. I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do. I will come to see you in a few days." Yihuan was a little excited and hurriedly found an excuse to leave.
Yan Wan nodded: "Sister, please come more often. I'm always so anxious..."
Yihuan nodded and left Yongshou Palace in a daze.
Looking at Yihuan's hurried departure, Yanwan's eyes grew colder by the second.
Yihuan, don't blame me. You have to see with your own eyes how hypocritical this man is before you can truly give up on her.
……
When Yihuan returned to the palace, the first thing she did was to ask Xihe for the few doses of pregnancy-maintaining medicine that were left in her palace.
Ever since I stopped taking the pregnancy medication, these medicines have been forgotten in a corner and have now lost their effectiveness.
She opened it and looked at the medicinal herbs inside, which were stained with moisture and had a slightly rotten smell, and her heart was filled with uncertainty.
Isn't this medicine the same as hers?
It was thrown into a corner where no one cared and decayed silently.
"Empress? What's going on? Is there something wrong with this medicine?" Xi He was bewildered, looking at his master's inexplicable actions in confusion.
These words touched Yihuan's tense nerves.
She suddenly pushed the medicine in front of Xi He, then withdrew her hand and said coldly, "Find a way to get this medicine out of the palace and find a doctor outside the palace to check and see what kind of medicine it is."
"Master? Are you saying there's something wrong with this medicine? But wasn't it the Emperor who personally asked Doctor Qi to prepare it for you? Could it be possible?" Xi He stopped talking halfway and suddenly didn't dare to say anything.
Could it be that the emperor wants to harm her?
Whether it was true or false, she had already made up her mind.
Yi Huan was about to cry, her eyes were almost bloodshot, and she fought back the tears: "Whether there is a problem or not, we can find a doctor outside the palace to check it out and we will know. Go... Don't spread this matter, just keep it quiet..."
"Yes." Xi He packed up the medicine and went downstairs.
She looked at her master sitting there in a daze, feeling very distressed.
If there is really something wrong with this medicine, then the owner is too miserable, having been deceived by the person next to him for more than ten years.
She had followed her master for so many years, and she had seen the master's sincerity towards the emperor. If the emperor treated her like this, he would truly be the most heartless and unfaithful person in the world.
Xi He followed Yi Huan's instructions and bribed the eunuch who went out to buy medicine from the palace. Finally, he got a prescription. In it, all the medicinal materials, dosages, and effects of the medicine were written clearly in calligraphy.
