Chapter 404: Chun Er offers advice and prepares to take action
Here, after the Queen heard the results of Doctor Wei's pulse diagnosis, her face suddenly fell as soon as the other person left.
"Your Majesty, Wanpin's pregnancy is stable and everything is fine. If Wanpin really gives birth to this child, the emperor will probably..."
Jianqiu spoke with some hesitation.
"Are you trying to say that the Emperor will treat this child as his sister's?"
The queen snorted coldly and spoke with great disdain.
"Even if it is, what can we do? Wanpin will not be willing to accept it."
The Queen saw through Zhen Huan and was not worried about it at all.
"My lady, this kind of thing is hard to talk about."
"Now Wanpin is indeed stubborn and noble, but when Wanpin gives birth to a child in the future, this woman with a child will do anything for her child."
Jianqiu retorted with some disagreement.
"What you said does make some sense, but now the emperor has personally ordered me to take care of Wanpin's pregnancy. How can I fail to live up to the emperor's trust?"
The Queen couldn't help but sigh. Didn't she want to do anything to Wanpin's child?
On that day, the emperor specially asked Su Peisheng to come in person to announce the decree. Could it be that the words Su Peisheng said later were thought up by Su Peisheng himself?
It can be seen that the emperor has lost his trust in her. If anything happens to Wanpin's child again, the emperor will probably not be lenient towards her anymore.
She knew very well that she could sit in this position, firstly because of her sister's dying wishes, and secondly because the queen was the mother of a country and could not be replaced at will. This was not only a matter of the harem, but also a matter of the previous dynasty.
If the emperor deposed the empress without reason, it would inevitably cause an uproar in the court. The emperor had just gotten rid of Nian Gengyao and his group, and the court had finally stabilized. Naturally, he did not want to cause any more trouble. So even if the emperor knew what she had done, he could not act rashly without solid evidence.
"Now, if I want to regain the emperor's trust, I have no choice but to swallow my anger."
The queen placed the teacup in her hand on the table and spoke in a restrained tone.
"Your Majesty, this is not difficult. If Wanpin loses the child because of me, the Emperor will not be able to blame you."
Jianqiu looked at the queen meaningfully and spoke.
“Isn’t this the best of both worlds?”
Upon hearing this, the queen turned to look at Jianqiu and asked.
"What can you do?"
"This is not my idea, but the idea of Concubine Chun."
Jianqiu began to explain.
"Mrs. Chun?"
The Queen was somewhat surprised by this name. After all, now that she had Concubine Qi, a more useful chess piece, she didn't care much about Concubine Chun, the unfavored fool. She didn't expect that the other party could actually give her advice.
"What do you think."
"Now Wanpin has been depressed during her pregnancy, but pregnant women should not be too sad, otherwise it will affect the fetus."
As soon as these words were spoken, the queen immediately thought of the trap she had set up before.
"Not only that, if this month is long, this one careless will result in two deaths."
Thinking of this, the queen waved to Jianqiu, signaling her to lean over.
After listening to this, Jianqiu nodded repeatedly.
"Don't worry, Madam. I will find a way to inform Madam Qi about this matter."
"If this matter is handled well, I will definitely find a way to recommend Concubine Chun again. Just let her wait patiently."
The Queen naturally understood the principle of rewarding meritorious officials generously. If Concubine Chun's method worked, then Concubine Chun would be a useful person and she could give her a hand.
After all, the more favored the people on her side are, the more things she can do.
On this side, the emperor has not dealt with Zhen Yuandao for the time being, but he is still dissatisfied with him in his heart.
Especially when he asked everyone in the court to write poems to blame Qian Mingshi, but some people deliberately wrote poems to sympathize with Qian Mingshi, his anger reached its peak.
He suppressed his anger and dismissed the two men directly.
Guaerjia Emin watched with satisfaction as the two thorns in his eyes were punished by the emperor. Seeing that the emperor was furious and thinking of the news that Concubine Qi had spread in the palace, Emin pretended to be hesitant and spoke.
"I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"You are a censor, you can speak directly if you have anything to say."
The emperor frowned and spoke.
E Min directly pointed out that Zhen Yuandao was unwilling to write a poem to blame Qian Mingshi, and even said that Zhen Yuandao might have ulterior motives.
The emperor was naturally furious when he heard this, but considering that Concubine Wan was pregnant, he decided to give Zhen Yuandao another chance.
If the other party wrote a poem criticizing Qian Mingshi within three days, the matter would be over. If he was unwilling, he would deal with him directly.
On this side, the emperor asked Su Peisheng to visit Concubine Wan because she was pregnant.
At the emperor's suggestion, Su Peisheng saw that Concubine Wan was not in good spirits, so he asked Aunt Fangruo to accompany Concubine Wan to the imperial garden to relax.
Zhen Huan hadn't left the palace for a long time, so she was naturally willing to go out for a walk.
Even though she knew that Aunt Fangruo would come over and keep looking at her, she did not resist too much.
After all, now she was only concerned about the situation at home and wanted to protect herself and the baby in her belly as much as possible.
If something really happened to her father, she could use this child to gain the emperor's sympathy.
On this side, even though Zhen Yuandao received Zhen Huan's message, he still didn't think that the emperor would treat him like this.
After all, he has always been loyal to the emperor, and as a censor, he should have given advice to the emperor. The emperor had indeed gone too far in this matter, and he was not willing to go with the flow.
So when Zhen Yuandao received the ultimatum issued by the emperor, he chose to stick his neck out and refused to write a poem to blame Qian Mingshi.
Now that Concubine Wan is pregnant, even if the emperor is angry with himself, he will not do anything to Concubine Wan.
Therefore, he was willing to be the person who upholds justice, even if it meant paying a heavy price, and it didn't matter if he didn't become an official.
But Zhen Yuandao's thoughts were too simple. E Min directly attributed Zhen Yuandao's behavior to relying on his relationship with the emperor, currying favor with the emperor, being arrogant and committing crimes against his superiors.
These words completely made the emperor want to kill Zhen Yuandao. He subconsciously regarded Zhen Yuandao as the former Nian Gengyao.
Therefore, he transferred his disgust towards Nian Gengyao to Zhen Yuandao.
Zhen Yuandao was directly dismissed from his post and imprisoned, and his family members were confined in the mansion, with no one allowed to enter or leave.
When the queen learned about this, she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Wanpin's child was already over eight months old, and Zhen Yuandao was dismissed from office and imprisoned at this time. It was the perfect time, place and people.
"Jianqiu, it's almost time. Let Concubine Chun make preparations."
"Poor Concubine Wan, if she knew such a big thing happened in the family, I don't know what would happen."
After the queen said this, she pretended to be sad and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
