Chapter 405 The Tragic Queen 3
Jiang Chunxi: "Let Doctor Cheng come in!"
Doctor Cheng is the emperor's personal physician. He is usually only responsible for the emperor's health and rarely treats concubines in the harem.
Of course, Concubine Li is an exception. It can be said that Concubine Li's health is also the responsibility of Imperial Physician Cheng. The pregnancy-maintaining medicines that Concubine Li has taken over the years were all prescribed by Imperial Physician Cheng.
However, no one in the harem knew about this matter. Only Concubine Li and the emperor's confidants knew about it.
After Imperial Doctor Cheng finished checking Jiang Chunxi's pulse, he smiled and congratulated her, "I congratulate the Queen. The fetus in your belly is doing well. The Emperor will get what he wants."
Jiang Chunxi naturally looked very happy: "That's good, I'll trouble Imperial Doctor Cheng to report this good news to the Emperor."
"Then I will take my leave first." As soon as Imperial Physician Cheng finished speaking, Jiang Chunxi signaled the senior palace maid beside her to send Imperial Physician Cheng out.
"Your Highness, this is really great," this was the voice of Chu Yu, another senior maid of Jiang Chunxi, who was the emperor's servant, "When your baby is born, the emperor will definitely make him the crown prince immediately. Then no one will be able to shake your position as queen."
"Do you think this is possible?" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "After all, the emperor doesn't take me, the queen, seriously. He wants Concubine Li to replace me."
“This…” Chu Yu’s expression became serious. After all, she was the emperor’s person, and she naturally knew that the emperor was not as fond of the queen as outsiders thought. “Could the emperor really want to kill you for Concubine Li, and let the child in your belly be born with the stigma of being a mother killer?”
If the Emperor wants Concubine Li to replace the Empress, then the best opportunity would be when the Empress gives birth. But the child in the Empress's belly is the prince that the Emperor has been waiting for so long. Can the Emperor really be so cruel as to let the prince bear the stigma of being a mother-killer?
"That's not the case," Jiang Chunxi said sarcastically, "After all, the emperor probably still hopes that I can give birth to a few more children for Concubine Li to raise. How could he easily take my life? As long as I am still useful in the eyes of the emperor, he will not take my life easily."
"It's just that," Jiang Chunxi stroked her belly and said in a very cold voice, "It's just that the emperor treats me like this, why should I give birth to a child for him?"
The original owner didn't want to give birth to her previous life's child, so she could only borrow sperm. After all, without a son, how could she become the queen mother in the future?
As for the dog emperor and Concubine Li, let them fight each other. To take revenge on that bitch Concubine Li, the dog emperor must do it himself. This is the best revenge on Concubine Li.
"Your Majesty, what you mean is," Chu Yu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, can you bear it? After all, the child in your belly is also your flesh and blood."
"There's nothing to be sorry about," Jiang Chunxi said, "I believe that Concubine Li will soon have good news from her belly. By then, do you think the Emperor and Concubine Li will be able to let me give birth to a legitimate son?"
Chu Yu did not ask much. After Jiang Chunxi used the loyalty talisman on her, she was naturally aware of some of her master's inhuman methods. For example, the loyalty talisman. She was originally the emperor's person, but after being used with the loyalty talisman, the only person she had to be loyal to in her mind was the empress.
"Haha!" After Imperial Physician Cheng reported that the baby in the empress' belly was a prince, the emperor laughed heartily, "Great, I will finally have a successor."
"Doctor Cheng, from today on, you will focus on the Queen's dragon fetus. I will not allow the dragon fetus in the Queen's belly to have any accidents. Do you understand?"
"I obey your order." Doctor Cheng said respectfully:
"Okay, go down!" The emperor was already thinking about naming the child.
But it was a big deal, and he had to think about it carefully.
After Doctor Cheng left, the eunuch Wang Changan came in and reported: "Your Majesty, people from Concubine Li's palace have sent cakes."
As the emperor's confidant, Wang Chang'an was naturally well aware of the importance of Concubine Li in the emperor's heart, and he was even more aware of the secret codes between Concubine Li and the emperor. Therefore, when the palace maid in Concubine Li's palace brought pastries, Wang Chang'an naturally had to report it immediately.
"Oh!" The emperor's voice was somewhat surprised. "Since Imperial Concubine Li has sent cakes, I will go to Imperial Concubine Li's palace tonight. Please send someone to tell her."
It is daytime now, and it is not convenient for the Emperor to go directly to Concubine Li's palace. After all, only the Empress has this honor that allows the Emperor to enter the harem during the day.
If he went to Concubine Li's palace during the day, the concubines in the harem would probably become suspicious.
I have to say here that the emperor has already sat on the throne, so why should he hide his feelings for the woman he truly loves? Of course, the emperor knows very well that when the women in the harem become ruthless, it is hard to guard against them.
His mother died in the struggle among the concubines in the harem, and even his difficulty in having children might have been due to someone else's scheme. Although no trace of Chinese medicine was found in his body, the emperor always believed that he must have been poisoned by some secret medicine.
Fortunately, the queen is pregnant now, otherwise the emperor would probably think that he would have no successor in this life. As for why he never suspected the baby in the queen's belly, after all, didn't he suspect that he had been drugged by a secret medicine and could not have children?
If any other concubine was pregnant, the emperor might be suspicious, of course, except for Concubine Li.
But since it was the Queen who was pregnant, the Emperor would not suspect anything. He knew the Queen too well and was aware of how much she loved him. Most importantly, there were people arranged by him around the Queen.
Therefore, the emperor had no need to doubt whether the baby in the queen's belly was his.
And it was because the emperor had experienced the horrors of the women in the harem that he not only kept his favor for Concubine Li secret, but also raised the queen as a target.
In short, the emperor really dotes on Concubine Li, who is at the top of his heart.
At noon, the emperor came to Kunluan Palace to have lunch with Jiang Chunxi.
In the past, the emperor often accompanied the original owner for meals, but it has become more frequent since the original owner became pregnant. Whenever there is something important, the emperor will take time out to come to Kunluan Palace to accompany the queen for meals.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Jiang Chunxi smiled and was about to salute the emperor, but as soon as she bent her knees, she was immediately helped up by the emperor.
"Didn't I tell you not to bow to me anymore? Why don't you listen?" As he spoke, the emperor helped Jiang Chunxi sit down on the couch.
"Etiquette cannot be abolished," Jiang Chunxi said with a smile, "I am the queen, so I should set an example and not forget my duties as the queen because of the emperor's favor. The emperor is not the prince now, and I can't cause trouble for you."
