Chapter 282: Guar Jia Wen Yuan 11
However, after much investigation, it was the Queen who was suspected. No matter what happened in the end, the conclusion given by Yinzhen was that Rou Chang was jealous of Concubine Qi's pregnancy and the emperor's favor, so she had evil intentions and wanted to harm the royal heir.
In order to clear himself of suspicion, he asked someone to frame Concubine Xin.
In the end, Rou Changzai was deposed and sent to the cold palace.
The queen was ill for two months and allowed no one to visit her.
Jianqiu was beaten to death with a stick.
That day, An Lingrong returned to the Yanx Palace feeling uneasy. Obviously... today's events should not involve the Queen.
Bao Juan served her tea. Seeing An Lingrong's anxious look, she couldn't help but ask, "My lady, are you thinking about what happened today?"
An Lingrong glanced at Baojuan, exhaled deeply, and said thoughtfully: "What happened today is really too strange."
Bao Juan also said, "Yes, my lady has done it carefully. This matter cannot possibly involve the Empress. Could it be that Concubine Qi is plotting against her?"
"No, no matter what, she would not gamble with the child in her belly. But is there anyone behind Concubine Qi who can help her?"
In An Lingrong's eyes, Concubine Qi was just carefree and didn't have much scheming. She just made friends with concubines all over the palace and was able to get along with everyone. Could it be that she was helped by others?
Bao Juan said tentatively: "Then... could it be Concubine Xin? Concubine Xin is an old lady in the palace, and she is also good friends with Concubine Qi, so she is the most likely one."
An Lingrong always felt that something was not right. After all, Concubine Xin did not seem like a calculating person.
But there was no other explanation for this matter, An Lingrong could only nod and sigh: "Sure enough, none of the women in the palace are simple."
"In the past, I underestimated Lady Xin."
……
Since the Queen was confined to her palace, there has been a rare peace in the palace.
Wen Yuan was still taking care of her pregnancy in Chuxiu Palace. Fang Ruo did not expect that Wen Yuan would be poisoned this time. It was only because of Concubine Qi's plea that she was not severely punished by the Emperor. She was still deducted half a year's salary as a punishment.
But she has been serving the emperor for so long, and half a year's salary is already the smallest punishment.
Fang Ruo burst into tears of gratitude towards Wen Yuan, "Thank you, Concubine Qi, for your forgiveness."
Wen Yuan asked her to get up, with a lingering fear on her face: "How can this be blamed on my aunt? No one would have thought that there would be such a vicious person in the harem."
"It's possible that my aunt was not careful enough and someone took advantage of her."
Seeing Wen Yuan's frail appearance, Fang Ruo felt extremely guilty and served her more carefully and attentively.
Yinzhen attached great importance to the child in Wenyuan's belly. When he was not busy, he would come to Chuxiu Palace to sit every day. When he was busy, he would come once every three to five days.
He also asked Wei Lin to carefully check Wen Yuan's pulse once every two days without missing a single time.
The heat in July was unbearable, and Wen Yuan was already eight months pregnant. After Wei Lin checked her pulse, he said, "The baby in your belly is fine. You just need to rest and recuperate."
"That's good, thank you this time."
Wei Lin thought of what he had received and smiled: "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty. I will do my best to serve you."
Wen Yuan took back her hand, nodded slightly, and then sighed regretfully: "There will be many times in the future when I will need the imperial physician. You just need to wait patiently."
Wei Lin bowed slightly, which was considered an unspoken agreement between the two of them.
After leaving Chuxiu Palace, Wei Lin couldn't help but admire Concubine Qi. He didn't expect that she would risk her life to ensure her safe delivery.
Lu Yingfeng came in to see her, and Wen Yuan smiled and held out her hand: "Sister, sit down."
"How are you now? I was really scared when I saw you getting thinner day by day."
Who knew that the reason why they asked him to help her was actually this matter. Xiao Zhangzi had already been in their hands for a long time. They secretly asked him to associate with the people around Rou Changzai in order to get rid of Rou Changzai.
As for Xiao Shunzi, he was just a subordinate of Concubine Xin. After all, she had been in the palace for many years, so it was impossible for her not to keep some tricks up her sleeve.
"He is also pitiful, but he has no children around him. Has his sister been settled?"
"Don't worry, the money given to An Shen has been sent out early, and someone will help her when the time comes."
All the finishing touches have been completed and all the people involved have been dealt with.
Wen Yuan smiled. She knew that it was impossible for her to overthrow the Queen now, so her target this time was not the Queen.
But Yixiu was also involved in the matter. The Queen Mother would protect her, but she might not necessarily protect Rou Changzai.
It’s already difficult enough to deal with An Xiaoniao alone beside Yixiu, so her team cannot be allowed to grow stronger.
It is a pleasant surprise to be able to send off Jianqiu this time.
Lu Yingfeng thought of something and looked at her and said, "I saw that Concubine An looked strange that day. I'm afraid she hasn't figured it out. If she suspects you..."
Wen Yuan shook her head and said firmly: "She won't think it's me."
Lu Yingfeng paused and looked at her with some surprise.
Wen Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "I'd like to trouble you, sister, to take the blame for me."
Lu Yingfeng had been on the same boat with her for a long time, and he looked relaxed and didn't take it to heart: "What is your sister talking about? No matter what she suspects, we just pretend we don't know."
The two smiled at each other. At this time, a report came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived——"
Lu Yingfeng quickly helped her up, and they both knelt down to greet her.
"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."
Yinzhen first helped the pregnant Wen Yuan, then looked at Lu Yingfeng and said with a smile: "Get up, what are you two talking about?"
Wen Yuan smiled but didn't say anything. After Lu Yingfeng sat on the embroidered stool brought by Jingtai, she smiled and said, "I was telling Concubine Qi that the fetus is healthy today. Doctor Wei just came to check the pulse and said that we just need to rest assured and the heir will be healthy again."
"That's great. I'm worried about the child, too. You and the child have suffered this time."
Wen Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Everything is over. The emperor has punished the culprit. As long as the child is fine, I will not feel wronged."
Yinzhen felt unhappy, but he still smiled and no one could tell what was going on.
Lu Yingfeng quickly said goodbye, leaving the two of them to talk in the hall.
Yinzhen held her hand and said, "I have already told Su Peisheng that I will arrange for your mother to come to the palace in two days. You are in poor health now, so you should ask your mother to come in and take care of you for a while."
Wen Yuan smiled happily: "Yes! Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
Yinzhen smiled and said, "So happy."
"Yes! I haven't seen my mother for almost a year. I miss her so much!"
Yinzhen looked at her smiling face and felt that his kindness was not in vain. He was satisfied with her gratitude and smiled more often.
In this palace, Wen Yuan is the one who understands my feelings best.
