Chen furen said: "Little Mistress should know how many eyes and ears there are in the palace. Your cover-up has been seen by people with intentions. Why not announce it openly so the family can make arrangements."
Concubine Hua raised an eyebrow and asked in return: "Then what does furen think is a good time?"
Chen furen saw her accept it and forgot her previous unhappiness, "Of course, the sooner the better. Also, there are many pregnant women in the palace. Little Mistress is not conspicuous among them. Right now, the palace has been divided into twelve palaces. Little Mistress can have a palace to herself no matter what. The family can take the opportunity to arrange for people to enter."
Concubine Hua played with her thin fingertips and said with a smile: "Previously, Yan Guifei had arranged Yong An Palace for me."
"Yong An Palace originally belonged to the Nanyuan, but it is quiet. Little Mistress doesn't have anyone in the palace and we can make arrangements ourselves," Chen furen smiled and then asked tentatively, "Then has little Mistress made arrangements?"
Concubine Hua didn't understand, "Who else needs to be arranged?"
Chen furen hinted: "Qing Niao was brought out by Shu Ronghua from home and is the most reliable. Also, the lives of her entire family are in our hands. We don't have to worry about her having other thoughts."
Concubine Hua leaned on the pillow and was very lazy, "Then what about Chen Guiren?"
When Chen furen came, she heard Green Waist say that Chen Guiren was not very good. She didn't ask specifically, "Chen Guiren is afraid that it will be difficult for her to take on great responsibilities. Also, she has been ill since entering the palace. Even now, she is only a guiren. Her age is also there. Why don't little Mistress give Qing Niao face first? Six years later, chenfu will choose a girl with good looks and knowledge to send into the palace to be little Mistress' assistant."
"Six years?" Concubine Hua touched her delicate chin, "Six years later, I will be twenty-two. I won't be young, but can we wait until six years?"
Chen furen felt that she could not understand this daughter more and more. She just thought that she was pregnant and was thinking nonsense. She said: "Little Mistress, thinking too much during pregnancy is not good for the fetus. Hurry and summon a taiyi to see if the imperial heir is safe."
Imperial Concubine Hua put down her hand and said, "That's fine. There's no need to trouble two masters for the same matter. Let the Yellow Court decide."
"Little Miss," Madam Chen stopped her and said seriously, "Every grass in the palace has an owner. Naturally, the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital are the same. Although Imperial Doctor Huang is the empress dowager's person, the empress dowager is happy to see children running around in the palace, but the Wang family behind her may not be happy. This Imperial Doctor Xu is one of our own people, so it's better to call him here."
Concubine Hua was somewhat surprised when she heard this and said, "Xu Ping is actually one of our people?"
Speaking of this, Madam Chen was also a little proud and said, "Your Highness, you probably don't know this. In the time of Emperor Taizu, there was an Imperial Noble Consort Jun in the palace who was on good terms with Great Elder Princess He Jing. She was the grandaunt of our Chen Family. At that time, Great Elder Princess He Jing had facial ulcers. Many imperial physicians were not cured. It was Imperial Noble Consort Jun who recommended Xu Ping's father to cure Great Elder Princess's facial ulcers.
"Speaking of Great Elder Princess, I think of my eldest sister. How is she? Is she okay?"
Thinking of her eldest daughter, who was originally the proudest of her, who was now dying, Madam Chen's face was full of worry. She shook her head and said, "She was fine at first, but after she was pregnant, her mother-in-law wanted to send someone else to her, which made the backyard uneasy. She was not in good spirits. She just lost her child a few days ago." After that, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.
Concubine Hua sneered and said, "She killed her own sister with her own hands. If she can still live her own life peacefully, I will give her a few people to help her win her husband's heart without waiting for her mother-in-law to do it. Only then can she not be counted as a sister."
Madam Chen was shocked, "Little Miss, what do you mean by this?"
Concubine Hua smiled sweetly and said, "Mother, are you ignoring second sister too much? Haven't you used your poor brain? Haven't you thought about why second sister is so ill? She has a mental illness! "
Madam Chen took a step back and denied in a panic, "I don't know what you are talking about!"
Concubine Hua's pretty face behind the half-covered curtain became more and more gloomy, "Madam, why don't you ask second sister in person?"
Madam Chen suppressed the panic in her heart and put on a righteous appearance, saying, "This Madam doesn't know what Madam is talking about. Everything this Madam does is for the good of the Chen Family, for the Young Lord and your sisters. This Madam painstakingly raised the Young Lord. Although this Madam has other selfish motives, hoping to help this Madam complete what this Madam was unable to do in the past, it is completely out of benevolence. I hope that the Young Lord will not be confused by the nonsense of those despicable people and alienate yourself from the family!
Especially now, if you want your mother and child to be safe, you still have to rely on your family. Only when your family is good, you will be good. Only when you are good, your family will be better! If the little miss thinks that your family is not trustworthy, then who else in this world can be trusted? "
Concubine Hua sneered and said, "People's hearts are sinister, so I rely on mother to deal with them."
Madam Chen quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I will order someone to invite Imperial Doctor Xu." Seeing Concubine Hua's acquiescence, Madam Chen ordered Qing Niao to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite Imperial Doctor Xu.
When Qing Niao heard that she was going to the Imperial Hospital to invite an imperial doctor, she was shocked. She stuttered and asked, "Invite, invite, invite what?"
Madam Chen frowned and said, "Go and invite Imperial Doctor Xu. How do you take care of the little miss? You don't even know that she hasn't had her period for several months?"
How can they, who were close to her, not know? They were afraid because they knew it. His Majesty had summoned her several times. When he summoned her, they, who were close to her, knew it the best!
Madam Chen couldn't bear to dawdle, so she increased her volume and urged: "Why aren't you going?"
"Yes." Qing Niao shrunk her shoulders and ran out with her head down. However, she didn't go to the Imperial Hospital. Instead, she stood outside the Changchun Palace and didn't know what to do.
The news that Changchun Palace's Xiqing Courtyard was going to invite an imperial doctor soon reached Bai Suyan's ears. She was also shocked, and then she felt fear. She knew what Concubine Hua was thinking now. She wanted to put the Chen Family to death. She wanted the Chen Family to never have a chance to rise again!
"Niangniang?" Winter Solstice called out in a low voice.
Bai Suyan took a deep breath, raised her hand, and asked Winter Solstice to help him up, then said: "Green Waist, you go to the Imperial Hospital. No matter what, you have to invite Xu Ping before Qing Niao, and then signal her to invite Huang Liu, Hu Buhui, and Witch Hazel Plum. Hurry up!"
Green Waist took the order. Winter Solstice asked: "Niangniang, then we are now …"
Bai Suyan said: "Just say that this concubine is nauseous and retching. I haven't had my period for half a month. Ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look."
"Half a month?" Winter Solstice couldn't think for a while, but he felt that something was wrong.
Therefore, before the news of Concubine Hua's pregnancy in the Changchun Palace was released, Imperial Concubine Yan in the Changming Palace was suspected to be pregnant. The news of double happiness had already spread throughout the harem. For a time, everyone focused their attention on the Changming Palace. All the palaces sent people to the gate of the Changming Palace to get the news as soon as possible. Naturally, Changding Palace didn't. The head of the Imperial Hospital was Imperial Concubine Jing Shu's uncle. Even if she didn't want to know, her uncle would take the initiative to come to her and tell her.
Qing Niao hesitated for a long time outside the Changchun Palace, but she still slowly went to the Imperial Hospital. After asking, she learned that Imperial Doctor Xu had been invited by the Changming Palace. While she was hesitating, Huang Liu came up: "Miss Qing Niao, what's the matter?"
"Imperial Doctor Huang." Qing Niao greeted and then remembered that Imperial Doctor Huang didn't say anything before, so … …
"Imperial Doctor Huang, my family's little lord is not feeling well today. Madam happened to come to visit and was worried, so she sent this slave to ask the little lord to take a look so that she can feel at ease."
Huang Liu had already been instructed by Green Waist, so he said: "If Miss Qing Niao doesn't mind, this official will go with you."
Qing Niao was overjoyed, she bent her knees and said: "Then, I will trouble Imperial Doctor Huang."
Huang Liu sighed inside his heart, but he still smiled on his face. He cupped his fist and said: "I don't dare."
When Qing Niao took Huang Liu to Xiqing House, Lingxi was trembling at the door. When she saw them, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop them. Seeing this, Qing Niao asked: "What happened?" Lingxi was so scared that she only shook her head.
Madam Chen, who was inside the room, was not much better. She was now sitting on the ground in embarrassment. She really didn't understand how things became like this. She just fell asleep in a daze, but when she woke up, she saw Shu Ronghua, no, it should be Imperial Concubine Hua, wearing Shu Ronghua's old clothes in front of her.
"Mother, you woke up, did you sleep well?"
Madam Chen covered her beating heart and slowly stood up. She didn't notice that her voice was trembling: "Little lord … What are you doing?"
Imperial Concubine Hua took a small bronze mirror and looked at it carefully, then said: "It's hard for mother to recognize that this is Ah-Shu's old clothes. When we entered the palace, mother ordered people to sew it for us."
Madam Chen's forehead was sweating, saying: "This is all in the past, it's hard for little lord to remember it so clearly."
Imperial Concubine Hua smiled lightly and said: "I won't forget in this lifetime. Mother, have you forgotten that I and Ah-Shu are twins? Every time she gets sick, I also get sick for a period of time. Every time she bumps or bumps, I also feel uncomfortable for a long time. That day, I guess you used medicine?
I was on the bed in my own bedroom, the organs in my stomach felt like they were being twisted by a knife. It hurt all night. It hurt so much that I almost suffocated. Mother, you should have been ruthless and killed me as well. Then there wouldn't be today. "
Madam Chen suddenly found that she couldn't speak. Her gaze swept towards the incense burner that was still shrouded in smoke. Previously, she had felt that the smell was refreshing and pleasant and had praised it. Now, it was clear that it was a death sentence. Looking at the leisurely Imperial Concubine Hua, she still couldn't believe that Imperial Concubine Hua would kill her.
Imperial Concubine Hua seemed to see her surprise. Smiling brightly, she said: "Mother, before, I also didn't believe that you would be so ruthless as to kill Ah-Shu!"
Madam Chen shook her head in horror. She really wanted to say that it wasn't her who did it. It was Chen Yanqin who gave her the medicine. It was also her who brought people to take care of the corpse. She didn't do anything at all.
Imperial Concubine Hua picked up Shu Ronghua's magpie plum hairpin from the dressing table. This hairpin was something that every xiuniu would have. The hairpin also had their name engraved on it, "Mother, let Ah-Shu decide for herself whether she will forgive you or not."
Imperial Concubine Hua dragged Madam Chen to the bed. Pulling out a strand of hair, she placed Shu Ronghua's magpie plum hairpin between Madam Chen's eyebrows. Seeing that the strand of hair was about to break, it was very torturous.
"Little lord, you can't go in, little lord."
"Little lord, your body isn't good. This will make it worse!"
The noise outside the door broke the silence in the room. Imperial Concubine Hua cutely tilted her head and said: "I guess that second jiejie has come." Finished speaking, she ignored Madam Chen and went out. In any case, the incense had the effect of sleeping. Madam Chen slowly fell asleep. To be able to die peacefully in her sleep, it was very good!
Chen Guiren was in her own palace room when she heard that Madam Chen had gone to Imperial Concubine Hua's place. She was so shocked that she jumped out of bed. Ignoring Beihua's obstruction, she hurriedly ran over without even putting on her shoes. When she was at the door, she was stopped by Qingniao Lingxi. One side didn't dare to use too much force. The other side was bedridden.
At this time, Beihua also caught up with a cloak. She scolded Qingniao Lingxi to retreat and put it on Chen Guiren with heartache. She now hated the Chen family to death. Chen Guiren's illness was more of a mental illness. Because Grand Preceptor Chen, his wife, and Chen Yanqin worked together to kill Shu Ronghua. Now, Imperial Concubine Hua was going to kill her own family to avenge Shu Ronghua. This made Chen Guiren sandwiched in between.
Imperial Concubine Hua slowly came out and asked: "What's wrong? Why is Chen Guiren here?"
At this time, Chen Guiren's entire body was leaning against Beihua. Her words were also intermittent: "Ah Hua … Ah Hua … You can't … You can't …"
Imperial Concubine Hua tidied up the non-existent creases on her sleeves and asked with a smile: "Why can't I? I don't understand. Chen Guiren is so sick. How can she come out to see the wind? Beihua, how did you take care of her?"
Chen Guiren pounced forward and grabbed Imperial Concubine Hua's sleeves tightly. Looking at these clothes, she naturally remembered the situation on the day the twins entered the palace. Shu Ronghua was wearing these clothes. Then, with a serious expression, she promised: I will protect Ah Hua well!
Seeing this, Imperial Concubine Hua smiled and said: "It seems that Chen Guiren also remembered."
Chen Guiren opened her mouth and suddenly fell to the ground. Beihua only had time to bend her knees and catch her, not letting her fall to the ground. Looking at her master's miserable state, she was very distressed, "Imperial Concubine Hua, young mistress, if you are really tired of my family's young mistress, Beihua will definitely look after her young mistress in the future. I implore Imperial Concubine Hua to be merciful and let go of my family's young mistress."
Imperial Concubine Hua asked in return: "I didn't ask Chen Guiren to help me do anything. What is there to let go or not to let go?"
At this time, Chen Guiren's scream came from the inner room. Imperial Concubine Hua tilted her head and lazily said: "It seems that she has come back to her senses."
Chen Guiren didn't know where she got the strength. She broke free of Beihua's support and pushed Imperial Concubine Hua away to stumble into the inner room. She saw Chen Guiren holding her forehead and curling into a ball on the bed in pain. Her hair was broken, but the hairpin didn't take her life. It only left a red mark between her eyebrows.
