Chapter 214: The aunt who no longer forces her eldest son to make progress
Ever since Song Xia said those words last time, Liu Fangniang, who was frightened, fell ill again.

Zhou Yongli came to question him once, but what right did he have to question him?Besides, Song Xia didn't say anything, she just kindly told Liu Fangniang the news about Zhou Ying.

Song Xia tortured Liu Fangniang day after day, and finally let her catch the reason why the Liu family obtained the secret medicine again and sent it to Zhou Ying.

She knew that these people would not be reconciled to the status quo. As she expected, the old lady still contacted the clan members.

But who will Zhou Ying have to deal with after getting the medicine?The princess who holds the power in the backyard?To steal her concubine?Or the three concubines who have been giving her a little stumbling block?

A few days later, after hearing a piece of news, Song Xia's heart beat violently. Could it be...

How could they be so bold?
Song Xia walked back and forth, but if there was no change, why would King Huai favor Zhou Ying one after another and give him rewards one after another.

No, no matter whether this was true or not, she had to tell the Queen.

Song Xia was the head of the county, so it was easy for her to enter the palace to meet the queen. When she presented the things she had collected to the queen, the queen couldn't help but knock over the teacup.

"Can you guarantee that?"

"My wife cannot guarantee that. After all, even the imperial doctor had not discovered the secret medicine back then. However, it is true that because of the secret medicine, my wife had a premature birth when she gave birth to Yuqing, which caused my child to remain weak for more than ten years after he was born. And also after that time, several servants of the Liu family suddenly disappeared, and the old lady stopped making incense. The courtier was not reconciled to what happened back then, so she kept sending people to investigate until they found out that they contacted that person again. The clansman also gave things to Zhou Ying."

"For such a big matter, if there is no evidence...Song Xia, do you know the consequences that I will bear?"

"My Lady, there is no need to go to war. Just check to see if His Royal Highness Prince Huai or Concubine De has presented anything to Your Majesty recently, especially sachets and food."

The queen looked at Song Xia deeply, and after a while she said: "If what you said is true, then you have made great contributions to this palace."

"My wife is also careful and doesn't want any accidents to happen to my queen."

"It's very good. With a mother like you, it's no wonder that she can teach a child as good as Zhou Yuqing. Prince Ding has always told me that he admires Yuqing very much."

Song Xia smiled faintly when he heard this: "That child likes to travel and play in mountains and rivers the most. He is still a child at heart, which makes His Highness Prince Ding laugh."

"If it is really found that there is collusion, don't worry, you are the one who has made meritorious service, and you mother and son will never be implicated."

"It's best if nothing happens. I'm afraid that I'll miss your important event. Thank you very much for trusting me."

"I would rather believe what I have than what I don't. I can't afford to lose."

Song Xia came back from the palace and brought back some rewards. She happened to meet Zhou Yongli and Zhou Shuqing who were beaming with joy. Looking at the box in Furong's hand, they all thought that the queen had rewarded her because of Zhou Ying.

So Zhou Yongli said matter-of-factly: "I also want to know why you suddenly came to the palace. Just now there was news from Prince Huai's Mansion that Sister Ying is pregnant. Tomorrow you prepare some good things and tonics to send to Sister Ying. These... You also give Fang Niang some points."

Song Xia laughed angrily. This misunderstanding was too big.

Was it because of Zhou Ying that the queen rewarded her?Why is your face so big?
"When Concubine Zhao of Prince Huai's Palace gave birth to her grandson, I didn't see the Empress giving anything to Concubine Zhao's natal family. When a concubine is pregnant, is it necessary for the Empress to specially reward the concubine's natal family? Don't take it for granted, Sir. A pregnant concubine is not as important as you think."

Zhou Yongli's face turned livid: "If it wasn't for this, why did the Queen suddenly reward you? Everyone knows that Sister Ying is very much loved by King Huai. Even the two concubines in the palace have to avoid her. Now it is up to the Princess to Take care of it personally, what will happen if King Huai doesn't take it seriously?"

"The Queen gave me a reward because I got Yu Qing's painting. I yelled without knowing anything. Fortunately, I didn't make a fuss, otherwise I would have thought our Zhou Mansion was a joke."

"you……"

Song Xia had a cold face: "You want me to give Zhou Ying a heavy gift? If the Queen really values ​​it, why don't you just give it to Prince Huai's Mansion?" Zhou Yongli choked at these words. Really, why did he give it to Song Xia instead of directly giving it to him? To Sister Ying?

Song Xia coldly sneered at Liu Fangniang: "Are you worthy of the things given by the palace?"

Liu Fangniang said with a pale face: "I don't dare."

"Humph!"

Seeing her leaving arrogantly, everyone felt itchy with hatred.

Zhou Shuqing stepped forward to comfort her: "Father, my sister is pregnant with His Highness's child. It is only right to give birth safely. Rewards and gifts are not important."

Zhou Yongli then softened his expression: "What you said makes sense. If this baby is the emperor's grandson, King Huai will succeed to the throne in the future..."

As soon as he said these two words, he quickly shut up, for fear that someone who shouldn't listen would hear it and get into trouble.

Although it is almost a foregone conclusion, it is always right to be cautious in your words and deeds.

If Song Xia knew his thoughts, would she laugh out loud and be cautious in her words and actions?Just them?

It's too natural to take it for granted. Even if King Huai really succeeds to the throne, I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate Zhou Ying.

Now Zhou Ying can contribute the secret medicine to King Huai's succession. After King Huai ascends the throne, will he think that Zhou Ying will assassinate him and the other children for other purposes?
There are few people in that position who are not suspicious. Zhou Ying's move seemed to gain King Huai's favor, but in fact it also planted a seed of doubt for herself.

What's more, now that the Queen has known about this, and the entire harem is under the control of the Queen, how can your plan succeed?

On the second day of the second lunar month, during the Flower Festival, a Hundred Flowers Banquet was held in Prince Huai's Mansion, inviting all the palaces to enjoy the blooming flowers. Because Zhou Ying was pregnant, everyone including Zhou Shuqing was invited.

Song Xia was dressed up, but it was a pity that Liu Fangniang was an aunt, so even if Zhou Shuqing could go, she was not qualified to go, even if it was her son Zhou Ying.

Liu Fangniang walked to the door, feeling quite regretful.

Sister Ying is already so favored, but due to her status as concubine, she can't do this or that.

Therefore, Song Xia must be eliminated in the future, and she must be supported as the main wife, so that she can enjoy the flattery of others openly.

But what Song Xia was thinking at this time was that after today, Zhou Shuqing's marriage should be finalized.

She had already found out that Wu Yushi's concubine would act like a monster today, and Zhou Ying also secretly ordered her maid to create a chance for Zhou Shuqing to be alone with Baoning.

Ha, you haven't given up plotting against Baoning yet. In that case, I'll give you a big surprise.

Arriving at Prince Huai's Mansion, Song Xia quickly found Ye Wanrou and Song Baoning, but before she could say a few words, she was interrupted by Zhou Ying, who was being supported by the maid.

Although Zhou Ying is now the concubine of King Huai, Song Xia is also the county lord personally granted by His Majesty, and Ye Wanrou is also the concubine of Chengjun Prince, so except for Baoning Fu's gift, neither of them moved.

However, Zhou Ying showed her filial piety and asked her maid to support Song Xia and gently bend her knees.
