"What is going on? Didn't you say that you would drag it out until the prince arrives and put on a show in front of him?" Sun Yiyi's mother led Qi Qi Qi out of the west yard. When she looked back and saw that there were no more people following them, she lowered her voice and scolded them harshly in his ear.
Septimus shrank back, not even daring to turn his head around. He only blinked his eyes and said with an expression of panic, "I …" I don't know why, Sun Yiyi's wife let her mother help me up right after you left. I wasn't as strong as her mother, so she helped me up, and then … "After that, the Consort Xu looked at me and laughed, saying that I am not to be blamed for what happened in the morning, and that I should take good care of my health."
"Is Concubine Xu really that good?" Sun Yiyi's mother stared at Qi Qi Qi in disbelief, as if she wanted to tell something was wrong from her face.
Qi Qi turned her body around in panic, then looked at Sun Yiyi with her eyes and nodded again and again.
"It's true, it's true. Perhaps it's just like what Princess Xu Wei and Prince said, after a month of confinement, she really repented. Or perhaps, Princess Xu Wei has thought it through and decided that the Prince likes a more pliable woman, so he wants to change himself according to the prince's preference?"
"Humph!" "Only someone with such a simple mind would believe such nonsense. If Consort Xuelang can become soft and pliable, then even that sow would be able to climb a tree. As the saying goes, changing one's nature is difficult, but you are not Consort Xu!" After Sun Yiyi's mother finished speaking, she lowered her eyes in thought.
Qi Qi glanced at Mrs Xu from the corner of her eyes, a smile flashing in her eyes.
"No, we have to report this to the wangfei as soon as possible. What kind of thoughts are hiding in her stomach?" If we don't take precautions in time, I'm afraid that the wangfei will suffer a loss. "
"The wangfei was the original wife of the prince and the proper mistress of the palace. Although Xu Sang's family background is also very good, how could she let the wangfei suffer a loss?"
Qi Qi looked at Sun Yiyi with a confused look on her face.
Sun Yiyi's mother unhappily rolled her eyes at Qi Qi. "Do you think that the life of an imperial concubine is very smooth sailing?" If it wasn't for the fact that that person had yet to give birth to a child and a woman, how could the wangfei still be sitting on that person's back safely? "
"Is the body of Consort Xu not suitable for conception? Otherwise, how can I marry her for three years without any news? "
Even though she already knew in her heart that the Jiang Clan must have done something to Prince Chen's body, after all, there was no evidence. If they couldn't find evidence, then all this speculation could only be a guess, they couldn't tell anyone else. Deny it, if this news was leaked out, then her and the Xu Clan's little lives might end up in the Prince's Mansion.
"Ha!" If the wangfei doesn't have a child, which woman in the backyard is fit for a pregnancy? " As soon as she finished speaking, Sun Yiyi's mother realized that she had said the wrong thing. She quickly looked up and saw that she was still confused, so she let out a sigh of relief.
"That's enough, don't even think about it. You just need to take care of yourself. The other princesses have their own plans for you. Once you give birth to a child, you will be able to enjoy endless wealth."
As soon as the conversation came to an end, Qi Seventh already saw the main entrance to the wangfei's courtyard. At this moment, a maidservant was already peeking her head out from within the door, waiting for them.
As soon as Sun Qiqi's mother saw this, she handed him over to the maidservant behind her. She then quickly walked toward the main house.
He turned around and walked back to his own small courtyard. Sun Yiyi's mother was really tight-lipped, and with just that bit of information, she was already on guard. It looked like she had to find a way to get to the princess' case as soon as possible.
After returning to his own courtyard, he sent out all of the maidservants in his room. With the excuse of rushing down from the morning, he was a little tired. He had already rested quite a bit during this period, so it did not arouse anyone's suspicions.
As soon as the door closed, Qi Qi Qi immediately sat up on the bed. First, she quietly listened to the sounds outside the door for a while, and after confirming that there was no one outside, she quietly walked to the door and locked it from the inside. Then she turned around and walked to the window on the north side of the bedroom.
Her window allowed her to see the north entrance of the main courtyard. She had been paying attention to this place for several days now, and whenever it was time, an old servant carrying a medicine box would be led in from the north gate.
Later on, she had made sure to keep an eye out for people in the Prince's Mansion, and she had also indirectly asked about it. There were no servants of this age in the Prince's Mansion.
The man had a strong scent of books, and he looked more like a scholar than a servant. Judging from his behavior, he must be an old man.
If she was sick, there would be many imperial physicians who would come to see her, so there was no need for her to look for a doctor. If a servant of the hospital was sick, even a decent wet nurse like Mama Sun would not be qualified to have a doctor come to the hospital to treat her.
It was obvious that this person didn't want others to identify him, which was why he was dressed as a servant. With this analysis, this person should be invited by the wangfei to see some illness that was inconvenient for imperial doctors.
In addition, Princess Hua-Yang had not appeared for many years, which was why she told Xu Sanguan that Princess Hua-jie should have the disease of cold seven or seven years ago.
The reason why he had told his wife was because she had once seen this doctor smile so widely while holding a heavy bag in his hand. She had seen the color of this bag in the Princess Courtyard, and when the Crown Princess rewarded those who were capable, she would usually reward this kind of bag. The bag in the bag contained Jin Zizi, a very precious treasure.
For a doctor to receive such a high reward, other than the patient's condition being improved, what else could it be?
After quietly waiting for a while, the northern corner door was indeed pushed open by someone from the outside. Qi Qi Qi hid herself behind the door and peeked out through the window again, only to see a maid that she had seen walking in with a husband in her room. This maid was also whispering in his ear from time to time.
After the doctor had finished listening, he slightly creased his brow and asked a few more questions. As he did so, he walked towards the royal concubine's courtyard with even more hurried steps.
Qi Qi Qi watched the two leave, then closed the window and went back to sit on the edge of the bed. Then, she immediately sat up. No, something must have happened. That was why the doctor had such an expression.
Qi Qi counted the time with her fingers. It hadn't been long since she came out of the west yard, and she didn't know whether or not Xu Sanguan had told Prince Chen that story. Even if she had, if she had used some tricks to keep him here, would Prince Chen have felt that the timing was too coincidental and suspected instead?
Rubbing her still flat belly, Qi Qi clenched her fists and decided to take the opportunity to keep the doctor. She had a feeling that if she didn't make a decision on the spot, she would very likely give up on her previous efforts. Moreover, her movements were still quite fluid. If she didn't take care of everything now, then it would be too late to make plans when her stomach was too big for her to act on.
Today was the first time, and there were still two more. In addition, he also asked for everyone's opinion. The "Deadly Concubine" was about to end. What kind of female essay did they want to see next? Just leave a message for everyone to think about,
After making up his mind, Qi Qi stood up and went to unlock the door, then lay back down on the bed. He messed up his hair, took off his coat and put it aside before calling for someone.
Not long after, the sound of a maidservant knocking on the door could be heard.
"Come in!" Qi Qi Qi purposely used a dreamy voice that she had just woken up to reply to.
She had already been taken in by the prince, but the time was still short so the prince didn't really like her. Therefore, she was still working on the maid, unlike Qi Qi Qi, who became half a master because she was pregnant.
Of course, Cui Huan was unwilling to accept this in her heart, but she didn't have the strength to blame anyone. She could only silently hate this person in her heart, thinking that one day, she could also fly up the tree branch and become a phoenix.
"After sleeping for so long, I feel dizzy instead. In a while, you will accompany me to take a walk outside. After you feel better, we can have lunch." Qi Qi ignored the unintentional dissatisfaction on Cui Li Huan's face, and said to Cui Huan who was giving her a hairpin while shaving her sideburns in front of the mirror.
"Yes," Cui Huan replied, but she pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, her heart secretly mocking. She really thought of herself as a master, only a pawn in the hands of the wangfei. If it weren't for the wangfei's benevolence, where did this little girl, who had no one to rely on in the mansion, get so lucky?
After adjusting his makeup, 77 led Jade Ring straight to the north.
Cui Huan had been in her courtyard for a long time. Usually, she would only do things like send messages to monitor the situation, so how would she know the true secret of the princess? So when she saw Ji Yunhuang heading north, she only felt a little strange and didn't think too much about it.
"Seventh Madame, there's usually no one to the north. It's very desolate, why are you going that way?"
Qi Qi woke up the non-existent sweat on her forehead with the handkerchief. "It's just that the north side is quiet and devoid of people, so I started walking towards that direction. It's safer for me to walk to a place devoid of people, so as to avoid being knocked into by others.
Cui Huan thought about it for a while, then silently followed Qi Qi Qi to the north.
After arriving at the small clearing to the north, Qi Qi found a shady corner and sat down on a platform. This place happened to be around the corner, and no one could be seen coming out from Princess Hua-Yang's yard. However, she was able to see the situation clearly with the help of the green lilies hanging from the fake mountain behind her.
Just when Cui Huan stood impatiently behind Qi Qi, Qi Qi finally saw the old man walk over with Sun Yiyi's mother.
She turned her head slightly to the side and whispered to Cui Huan, "We've been out for a long time, and we're really angry now. Help me up, let's go back. After sitting there for so long, my feet are a bit numb, and I can't get up."
Qi Qi stretched out her hand to support the jade ring, looking like she couldn't stand up, and slightly leaned towards the jade ring. Her timing was very good, the moment she stood up, the figures of Sun Yiyi's mother and husband appeared at the corner.
He gave a startled cry, then leaned back slightly and fell down onto the platform where he had been sitting. It looked very large, but she had deliberately lowered her strength so that it would not affect the fetus in her womb.
However, a pained look appeared on her face. One of her hands was tightly holding onto Jade Ring while the other was covering her lower abdomen.
