The Queen did not understand the situation.
The Crown Prince didn't know what to say. He covered his forehead with one hand and looked like he was shocked.
Hearing that, Liu Wei raised her eyebrows, and said indifferently: "I am not good at learning, and am unable to see Imperial Consort's illness, I hope that you can help me."
The young imperial physician blinked. It was only after a long time that he thought of something else. He said innocently, "Then, is it feasible for this lowly official to return to the courtyard and report back?"
Liu Wei was comfortable, she pretended to be hesitant and thought for a moment, then said: "I will not delay Sir."
The imperial physician: "…"
It wasn't easy for the empress to send off the imperial physician. She was about to ask for the reason for her relationship when she saw Imperial Concubine Xin, who had been unconscious just now, open his eyes and sit up.
The empress was even more suspicious now.
The Crown Prince felt that a cup of tea was not enough, so he got a servant to bring a pot over and took two sips.
"This concubine pays her respects to the empress." Imperial Concubine Xin understood the rules as well as he got down from the soft couch and bowed towards the empress.
The empress frowned and asked first, "I heard that the emperor is staying at Chang Heng Hall. What brought you here?"
Imperial Concubine Xin said, "The Emperor has yet to settle her mind on political matters. Since she can't stay at Chenqie's place, she returned to the Imperial Study first. Chenqie thought that the Empress would send someone to invite him in the daytime, so she took advantage of the dark to make a trip here."
After a few words, the empress knew what had happened. She pulled a long face but did not say anything for a long time.
The crown prince watched on from the side, thinking that his mother and Imperial Concubine Xin had been at odds with each other for many years.
Since she was the Palace Mistress, and mother imperial concubine was one of the Six Protections, she could not help but scold Imperial Concubine Xin.
But he knew from his conscience that it was all at the instigation of Doctor Liu. It was all his idea!
The crown prince wanted to explain to Imperial Concubine Xin. After all, if the two elders really did cause a ruckus, it wouldn't be good for him to be stuck between them.
However, before he could say anything, the empress, who had always been very observant, asked with a displeased expression, "You're letting her off so easily?"
The Crown Prince was stunned, he didn't understand what the words meant.
Her mother scolded Imperial Concubine Xin, "What is her identity? Do you want to sit on the sedan chair? Can I personally burn two of them for her? "
Imperial Concubine Xin didn't expect the empress to be so angry, angrier than she was. She was at first drowsy, but then her eyes grew warm as she said, "She's pregnant and she pretends to be ill. Chenqie is afraid that if she goes too far, she'll make use of this opportunity and end up in the emperor's hands."
"What are you afraid of?" The empress frowned, her jaw clenched tightly. "If Your Majesty has anything to say, tell him to come find me, and I'll tell him."
The empress was still suppressing the fire in her stomach as she looked around and asked, "Where's Wen Qing?"
Imperial Concubine Xin said, "Chenqie pretends to faint. I'm afraid that she might be worried if she sees me. I'll have the cuckoo take her around here."
The empress nodded in understanding, then turned her head and met her eldest son's strange gaze.
The empress frowned. "Why are you still here?"
The Crown Prince was speechless.
The empress recalled that the Crown Prince hadn't said anything about leaving, so she said, "It's getting late, you can go back first. Don't keep the Crown Princess waiting, mother will take care of things here."
With a belly full of doubt and suspicion, the Crown Prince sluggishly left Blue Phoenix Hall.
Once he left, the world in the hall would belong to women.
The Queen was very unhappy. She stared at Liu Wei and said, "Letting the crown prince go is just to support you. How can you let her get away with this? I did not know that her palanquin was actually the same size as a noble's palanquin. If I knew, I would have definitely told her to scram down and crawl back to the palace by herself! "
Liu Wei had a helpless expression as she said, "She's pregnant."
The empress's face turned pale. "I don't know if it's a human embryo or a demon embryo."
These words were quite obvious. Indeed, when the empress had finished speaking, she turned to look at Imperial Concubine Xin.
Because of the same illness, the Empress had lost her initial prejudice against Imperial Concubine Xin. However, she was not a friend, so she couldn't speak up and reveal her secrets. She definitely couldn't reveal the secrets of the Pearl of the Fallen Elves either.
Fortunately, Imperial Concubine Xin only thought that the empress had been angry and had fainted with words, but she was also surprised by the empress's bluntness.
It turned out that the mother of a nation that had always been aloof wasn't that difficult to get close to. At least, she would be angry when she was angry.
After a while, the cuckoo brought the belated Princess Wenqing over. Princess Wenqing did not know about the conflict along the way, or rather, she was too young to understand it even if she saw it.
Seeing the empress, the little princess proudly showed the empress her new dress.
The empress pampered her so she naturally opened her mouth and said, "Beautiful. Truly beautiful."
If it was a normal day, the Little Princess would be satisfied. However, after being splashed with cold water by her mother imperial concubine, it would not be so easy to coax her.
After asking, he was afraid of her mother, so he said it was a beautiful dress.
He quickly hinted, "Qing'er looks good, right? Is Qing'er better looking than a dress?"
When the empress heard this, she laughed and rubbed the little girl's head. "Qing'er is the most good-looking of them all."
Princess Wenqing was satisfied. She had been looking forward to coming to Blue Phoenix Hall for an entire day just for her mother's approval.
The empress had a deeper meaning behind her words when she told Imperial Concubine Xin that Princess Wenqing's fall was related to Wang Consort.
After she finished speaking, she looked full of interest at Imperial Concubine Xin's face, as if she could eat an extra bowl of rice as long as she admitted that she was blind and that she was raising a tiger.
How could Imperial Concubine Xin not see through the Empress's intentions? However, knowing that his concubine had not only urged his on, but also tried to harm Wen Qing, she couldn't help but grow furious.
There was no mother in this world who would tolerate others hurting their children!
