The Job of an Imperial Concubine

There are many concubines who have had miscarriages in the palace. The queen, Xu Zhaorong, Ye Shurong, and some low-ranking concubines, Zhao Chongyi is not the first, and will not be the last.

The queen never paid attention to which concubine had a miscarriage, but this time Zhao Chongyi's miscarriage was not accidental, but man-made, not to mention the emperor dotes on her and has feelings for the child in her womb, so this time she will not be taken lightly like Xu Zhaorong and Ye Shurong put.

While the queen was thinking, the emperor swung the teacup on the coffee table to the ground, and said with a sullen face, "How can you have a miscarriage if you are fine. Queen, you have always been in charge of the state banquet. Didn't you notice that someone tampered with? Yi's child is gone?!"

"Your Majesty, this concubine has been wronged." Seeing that she was involved in this matter, the queen got up and knelt down in front of the emperor, "I didn't realize that someone was plotting against Zhao Chongyi. It was my fault. I dare not shirk. But how could I think that Zhao Chongyi is gone?" Child, after all, when a child is born, he will also be called a concubine, and that is also a concubine's child."

"Then tell me, why did Zhao Chongyi have a miscarriage?" Feng Jin didn't let the queen get up, and let the other concubines in the room watch the queen kneel on the ground.

"Back to the emperor, my concubine has asked people to check the food and tableware used by Zhao Chongyi. There is no problem with the food used by Zhao Chongyi, but some of the dishes she used were contaminated with Guiwei, peach kernel, elm white skin, and Tongcao. The concoction made from , danpi, aconite, etc., and the tables and chairs have also been soaked in drugs. The concubine has already arrested the slaves who set up the tables and chairs, and made and served the meals. I don’t know if the emperor sent someone to question him "The queen sneered in her heart, but if she didn't act, there were many people who wanted Zhao Chongyi to have a miscarriage, but this time, I don't know who made the act, and they took advantage of the state banquet.

"What a deliberate plan, my harem is really peaceful!" Feng Jin glanced coldly at the other concubines present. The concubines were terrified by the emperor's sight, and unconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to meet them.

"Forget it, Empress, get up," the emperor withdrew his gaze, and snorted coldly: "I leave this matter to you to investigate, I hope you will give me an explanation, the harem is in such a mess, it is your empress who is incompetent, if you can't find out, Leave the harem affairs to others." After speaking, he walked into the inner room with a flick of his sleeves.

The queen's face turned pale, what kind of queen is a queen without real power. Even so, the queen still kept her figure and followed the emperor into the inner room.

The remaining concubines looked at each other in blank dismay, none of them dared to gloat.

Gao Dezhong looked at the queen's back sympathetically, the emperor finally couldn't bear Zhao's family anymore, and now he's giving the queen shame by excuses, I'm afraid the queen's life in the harem will not be as good as it used to be.

After entering the inner room, Feng Jin paused for a chorus of suppressed cries, before walking towards the bed. The formerly lively and beautiful woman's complexion was pale, and the pillow towel under her face was already wet. Seeing this situation, he was slightly taken aback. Zhao Chongyi seemed to have never cried in his memory. Every time he saw him, he would always show a happy and shy smile, which made him feel at peace. Now that Zhao Chongyi has lost his smile and vitality, he finally feels a little pity in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the child is gone, and my concubine did not take good care of our child." The woman on the bed grabbed his hand, the white and tender palm kept trembling, and warm tears dripped on the back of his hand, which made people feel a little flustered .

"Our child is gone, my concubine didn't give birth to a child for you, my concubine is useless, useless." The voice was suppressed and hoarse, but it made people feel more sad than howling.

Feng Jin stretched out his other hand to embrace him into his arms, and gently patted the back in his arms: "Aifei, you will still have children, and there will definitely be our children."

The queen who came in just heard this sentence, and she shook her body slightly. Fortunately, Heyu supported her steadily, so that no one could see anything strange. When she had a miscarriage, did the emperor say such words to comfort her? Did he not? Or have you forgotten?

Zhuang Luoyan, who was embraced by the emperor, was crying heartbreakingly, as if the world was collapsing. The queen felt that this scene was extremely dazzling, and she couldn't feel the sadness of Zhuang Luoyan, so she couldn't say a word of comfort, so she just stood quietly and watched the emperor embrace another woman.

Concubine Shu Guixian and others who came in afterwards saw that the queen was silent, and they all stood quietly aside. Hearing Zhuang Luoyan's cry, it was unavoidable that the rabbit died and the fox was sad. Today Zhao Chongyi's child can't be kept, so when they have a child, will they be able to keep it?

There are no simple women in the harem, the simple ones have fallen out of favor or died, and the remaining women are doomed to fight for the rest of their lives until the final winner is determined.

"Emperor doctor, Zhao Chongyi is injured, I need to make up for Zhao Chongyi. I hope to see a healthy Zhao Chongyi in the near future." Feng Jin stroked Zhuang Luoyan's hair, as if to calm Zhuang Luo Yan said sadly, "It's getting late, you all step back."

"Yes," the queen looked at the emperor's profile with a pale complexion, and took Heyu's hand out of the Xihe Palace. Looking at the fluttering snowflakes, she stopped walking on the chariot, "Heyu, this Why does the palace feel that it is very cold today?"

He Yu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, let's go." The queen sat on the chariot, looked back at the plaque of Xihe Palace, and slowly closed her eyes.

"Respectfully send off the empress." After several people watched the empress leave, Concubine Shu glanced at Concubine Xian lightly: "Concubine Xian is careful, after thinking about it, I should go and help the empress to see what slaves are bold enough to plot against the royal heirs."

"This is the duty of a concubine. I heard that someone from Concubine Shu's mother's family is working in the palace, and I will definitely be able to help and ask about it to share the empress's worries." Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Shu with a smile.

Concubine Shu sneered: "I'm incompetent, the empress is in charge of the harem, so I don't need my mother's little skills. It's cold, I should go back to the palace, let's go first."

"Respectfully send off Concubine Shu," Concubine Xian bowed profusely, watched Concubine Shu leave with honor, then turned to look at the other people, "It's time for me to go back to the palace, sisters, do your own thing."

"The second prince is alone in the palace right now, so I should go back," the usually reticent Concubine Ning smiled, and left in a chariot, leaving only Concubine Rou and Xu Zhaorong in the end.

"They're all gone, I should go too," Concubine Rou looked at Xu Zhaorong with a half-smile, "The snow scene is not bad tonight, Xu Zhaorong is an elegant person, and it's not bad to enjoy the snow scene." After speaking, she swayed onto the chariot.

After Concubine Rou left, Xu Zhaorong snorted coldly, and went back to her palace without looking back.

Everyone else has already left, and the room gradually quieted down. Feng Jin asked Zhuang Luoyan to lie down, and then rolled the quilt for her, "I know you are suffering in your heart, and I will definitely investigate the matter carefully, and you still have... the child is fair." .”

"Your Majesty, is it because I expect too much that I can't keep the child?" Zhuang Luoyan looked at the Emperor sadly, "When I entered the palace, I once made a wish to the Bodhisattva. If the concubine hadn't made such a wish, would the child have been kept?"

"It's because the concubine is too greedy and dissatisfied." She covered her eyes with her hands, preventing the emperor from seeing the bitter tears in her eyes. "This child will definitely hate the concubine, and the concubine's selfishness has hurt him."

"I don't believe in heaven, earth, or gods." Feng Jin took her hand and looked straight into Zhuang Luoyan's eyes, "For me, I love you because of you, not the blessing of gods. If there is a god in this world, Then there will be less pain in the world. I promise, you will have children, our children."

Zhuang Luoyan looked at the emperor, suddenly hugged the emperor's medicine, and cried out in pain, it was no longer the suppressed cry before, but howled loudly, as if to cry away all his sorrow and pain, and like a desperate person After finding my own salvation, I can finally cry as much as I want.

That night, many people in the harem could not sleep.

This night, everyone knew that the emperor comforted Zhao Chongyi until late at night.

Some people hate the emperor's love for Zhao Chongyi, some are glad that Zhao Chongyi's child is gone, but no matter what, they are all careful not to be dragged into the water.

The Xihe Palace has been extremely quiet in recent days, although the emperor, empress, and empress have given them many rewards.

Zhuang Luoyan was sitting on the bed playing with a jade ruyi, watching Yun Xi come in with a bowl of medicine, she raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "What happened in the palace in the last two days?"

"Returning to master, the masters in the palace have been extra careful in the past two days. The queen has arrested many servants for interrogation. I heard that two suspicious servants have been caught. Unfortunately, the mastermind has not been found yet."

Zhuang Luoyan smiled, "This time the queen is doing her best."

"How can you not be dedicated?" Yun Xi poured the medicine into the flower pot next to her, "The emperor has lost her temper, and even said that if the empress can't find out, then don't worry about the harem."

Zhuang Luoyan frowned slightly, did the emperor use this incident to attack the queen? She knew that the emperor would attack the Zhao family and the queen sooner or later, but she never thought it would be because of this incident.

She knew that the emperor was not so simple. On the surface, he acted as if he valued the child, but in fact he used this opportunity to anger the queen.

Presumably the emperor had expected that she would not be able to keep the child, so he came to such a play. So she used this matter to win the favor and guilt of the emperor, so why didn't the emperor use this matter to plot against the empress?

It's a pity that those who wanted to plot against the child in her womb, as well as the emperor, didn't expect that there was no child in her womb.

Who is the biggest winner in this game?
