Chapter 201 Pregnant Again
Concubine Wen drank her tea in silence. Lan Qingwu felt a buzzing in his head and gradually became impatient.
Concubine Chen pulled a smile from the corner of her mouth. "Sister Jiang Fei, Concubine Wan and the eldest prince have gone to Changle Palace. I have no children in this palace, and Concubine Wen only has one princess. You must not let others take over!"
When Concubine Wen heard "there is only one princess", she couldn't help but clench the teacup in her hand.
Lan Qingwu frowned and looked at Concubine Jiang.
Jiang Fei stood up suddenly. "Is this the only thing you care about? Hiding in the shadows, stirring up discord and mischief? Fortunately, you don't have a prince, otherwise, with your appearance, you wouldn't be able to teach a prince at all!"
Chen Fei was hit in the most painful spot, her face turned gloomy again, and her heavy makeup looked particularly weird.
Lan Qingwu endured the discomfort and stood up: "The banquet is over, I will take my leave now."
As Lan Qingwu stood up, Liang Guipin and Yang Guipin also stood up. Concubine Wen suddenly smiled and said, "Concubine Yi, you are really patient and have a good temper. You don't say anything even though you are like this."
Liang Guipin couldn't help but frown and glanced at Concubine Wen. It seemed that Concubine Wen really didn't mind making things worse, but she didn't know whether Concubine Yi could tolerate it.
Lan Qingwu smiled faintly. "I just think Your Majesty is worried about the poisoner in Jiazhou City in the previous dynasty. If the high-ranking concubines in the harem cause any more trouble and get to Your Majesty's ears, it won't be good. I don't want Your Majesty to worry about such trivial matters anymore. Also, if you have any more banquets during this period, please don't send invitations to Suowu Palace. Farewell!"
Concubine Wen opened her almond-shaped eyes wide, and Concubine Yi's words seemed to make sense to her. But after thinking about it carefully, she found that every word she said was implying that they were making trouble out of nothing and looking for trouble!
Concubine Chen could hear it even more clearly. She was so angry that her chest heaved. She really cursed without using any dirty words! She looked at the backs of Lan Qingwu, Liang Guipin, and Yang Guipin as they left, and said unwillingly, "Sister Jiang Fei, are you just going to watch like this?"
Concubine Jiang sighed softly, "Although I don't like Concubine Yi very much, I really can't hate her either. She's right. The Former Dynasty is in trouble now, so let's all be more quiet!"
Concubine Jiang also left the Yufu Palace, followed by Concubine Wen. Concubine Chen sat in her seat, feeling a tightness in her chest the more she thought about it. She suddenly stood up and walked out of the palace: "Let's go! To the Cining Palace!"
When Lan Qingwu returned to Suowu Palace, Nie Wushuang was already waiting in the hall. Just as Nie Wushuang was about to salute, Ruping hurriedly said, "Doctor Nie, please don't be so polite. The master has a headache. Can you take a look?"
That evening, when Emperor Shenwu arrived at Suowu Palace, he saw Lan Qingwu lying listlessly on the bed. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Was the banquet too boring?"
Lan Qingwu's slender white fingers held the bony and powerful fingers of Emperor Shenwu. She leaned close to Emperor Shenwu's ear and whispered softly.
Emperor Shenwu's expression was filled with joy: "Really?"
But then Emperor Shenwu thought of the danger Lan Qingwu had encountered when giving birth to the Sixth Prince, and his expression darkened again.
How could Lan Qingwu not know his concerns? She could only bury herself in the arms of Emperor Shenwu and silently comfort him.
Emperor Shenwu exhaled softly: "You really love to act like a spoiled child! Don't attend any banquets these days. Concubine Chen is really something. Why would she hold a banquet at this critical moment? Luckily, there is nothing to do today, otherwise..."
Lan Qingwu quickly said, "Brother Heng, Ruo Ruo is really fine and will rest well!"
Emperor Shenwu agreed in Suowu Palace, but turned around and ordered Li Xiang to go to Yufu Palace to convey an oral order, ordering Concubine Chen to stay well in her own palace, copy the palace rules a hundred times, and not to worry about the emperor because he was busy with affairs!
When Concubine Chen, who was kneeling in the hall, heard this, she finally couldn't help but raise her head. She stared at Li Xiang with wide eyes, motionless.
After delivering the imperial edict, Li Xiang bowed and said, "Your Majesty is still waiting for your servant to serve you! I will take my leave now!"
Only Concubine Chen was left kneeling there.
Two days later, Lan Qingwu went to the Cining Palace to pay his respects.
After some small talk, Empress Dowager Li handed the Sixth Prince to the wet nurse and took a sip of tea. "Concubine Yi, the other day Concubine Chen came to me and said that Your Majesty has been neglecting the harem for a long time. What do you think?"
Lan Qingwu was puzzled when she heard this, "I don't know why the Queen Mother asked me this. This... I can't control Your Majesty!"
Empress Dowager Li nodded. "What I mean is that the Emperor still likes you very much. When you were unconscious last time, the Emperor was very sad. If you could persuade him, the Emperor is still the Emperor, and he should treat everyone equally. Has the Emperor visited you recently?"
Lan Qingwu lowered her eyes. "Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs lately. I haven't seen you for over half a month. And your Majesty... your Majesty has always forbidden me to speak too much. I'm afraid you'll lose your temper."
Empress Dowager Li understood. She sighed softly, "Indeed, you've always been gentle and docile, while the Emperor has had a domineering and stubborn temper since he was young. He even fought with his own brother once! Well, I'll talk to the Emperor about this later! Concubine Yi, please don't feel bad. As the Emperor's concubine, you must be sensible and magnanimous!"
Lan Qingwu glanced at the Sixth Prince beside her and said, "I won't do that!"
Because, from now on, Your Majesty belongs to me alone!
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of anything else in the near future. I'm pregnant again!"
"Really!" Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but show her joy, and immediately forgot everything else.
"You have to take good care of him! Pay extra attention to him in the first few months! I'm going to have another grandson!"
Nanny Li behind her couldn't help but feel happy. Concubine Yi was a blessed woman. She was the first concubine in the harem to be pregnant with a dragon fetus for the second time!
Empress Dowager Li was thinking that if Concubine Yi was pregnant with the dragon's fetus, it would be easy to deal with Emperor Shenwu. The emperor couldn't just not summon his concubines to sleep with him!
The days passed by peacefully, and half a month had passed in the blink of an eye.
Lan Qingwu's morning sickness reaction this time was not very strong, but he was not in a good mood. He always felt weak and had no energy.
Nie Wushuang became busy again. In her spare time, Lan Qingwu would ask Nie Wushuang about the poisonous man in Jiazhou City. When she heard that the situation was not optimistic, she could not help but fall silent.
Nie Wushuang explained, "Although His Majesty has ordered General Leng and Prince Jiang to continuously inject antidotes into the water source, there is a poison expert in Jiazhou City, and that person has injected new poisons. This is truly a headache and terrifying!"
Lan Qingwu looked at the blue sky outside the window and whispered, "I guess Jiazhou City has become a hell on earth!"
Nie Wushuang fell silent. If possible, he would also like to rush to the battlefield to rescue those hundreds of thousands of civilians!
After Nie Wushuang took his leave, Ruhan hurried into the hall and said, "Master, I have received news that the old general has been feeling unwell for some time."
Lan Qingwu stood up, worry in his eyes: "What's going on? Is it serious?"
"It's said that it's caused by an old illness, and he hasn't been able to leave the bed for a few days!"
Lan Qingwu's eyes couldn't help but turn red. Her grandfather, who always loved and understood her, would let Ruhan know the news at this time if his illness was not really serious!
Lan Qingwu ordered, "Go inform Imperial Physician Nie and ask him to accompany me back to the Lan Mansion tomorrow."
Ru Ping hesitated and said, "But Madam, your body..."
"I will be careful. I can't just sit there and do nothing because I'm pregnant. I'll tell His Majesty when he comes."
Ruping thought to herself, even if I told His Majesty, he wouldn't let you leave the palace alone.
Emperor Shenwu was indeed worried, and he said directly: "I will go to the Lan Mansion with you tomorrow."
Lan Qingwu hesitated and said, "But..."
"No buts! I'm worried. Besides, your grandfather is my martial arts master. I know he's ill, so how can I not go and visit him?"
Lan Qingwu had no choice but to agree. At 9:00 a.m. the next day, Emperor Shenwu quietly left the palace with Lan Qingwu. Qian Hui was defending the grassland tribes, and Emperor Shenwu took Wei Yanting with him. The Phantom Guards, as always, guarded the emperor's safety in the dark.
