Selling wife for fame? Kick out the scumbag and marry the new emperor to enjoy the harem of favors

Chapter 34 was involved
Xie Jiu had heard that Sun Baolin was pregnant.

At this moment, he couldn't help but frown, "What's going on?"

"I don't know either. The master has gone with the emperor. I guess there will be news soon. But when someone from Sun Baolin's side came to report just now, I overheard it. It seemed that he had eaten the snacks given by Concubine Zhuang. That's it..." Qingdong didn't finish his words.

But Xie Jiu had guessed the general situation in his mind, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with her now.

"I just hope that the dragon fetus in Sun Baolin's belly is safe." Xie Jiu sighed.

Qingdong also sighed, "That's right."

He then added, "You may go back and rest first. When the Emperor returns, I will send someone to inform you."

"Then I'll trouble you, father-in-law." Xie Jiu nodded gently.

After returning to the side hall and closing the door, Chunrong helped Xie Jiu wipe his hands, and a look of emotion appeared on her face.

"I heard that Sun Baolin is still pregnant. She's seen her period now, and I don't know if she can keep it from happening. She's only two years younger than you, Miss. Before you got married, I saw her at a tea party for the young ladies in Beijing. She was such a shy and polite girl."

Like Xie Jiu, Sun Baolin also came from a family of former officials of the previous dynasty, but unlike Xie Jiu, the Sun family was indeed honest and upright.

Sun Baolin's father died of illness at an early age. Her grandfather was the chief academic officer of the Imperial College and was considered a famous scholar in the court. Although the Sun family was not as famous as the Xie family, it was also a legitimate scholarly family.

Therefore, Sun Baolin entered the palace when Zhao Xingjin first added people to the harem after he ascended the throne. He was specially selected from the families of court officials.

Xie Jiu did have some impression of this girl: gentle, soft, simple and lovely.

"With her personality, she'll probably suffer if she enters the palace." Xie Jiu wiped his hands and handed the handkerchief back. "You heard it too. This matter concerns Concubine Zhuang. We don't know what the outcome will be."

Chunrong naturally understood the meaning of these words.

Concubine Zhuang had been following Zhao Xingjin since he was in the Qiandi Palace. She had given birth to a child for Zhao Xingjin, and her family had also made great efforts when Zhao Xingjin started the rebellion. Compared with Sun Baolin and Concubine Zhuang, Sun Baolin's friendship with Zhao Xingjin was naturally inferior.

Just because of this, even if Sun Baolin's miscarriage was really related to Concubine Zhuang, Zhao Xingjin would still protect Concubine Zhuang.

"But if Sun Baolin is extremely favored, that would be a different matter." Xie Jiu sat down.

Qingfang took over the conversation, "But I heard that the only favored people in the palace now, besides Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Wei, are Concubine Chen. I've never heard that Sun Baolin is also favored."

Having stayed in the palace for a long time during this period, Qingfang, who was always warm-hearted, made friends with some palace maids and eunuchs in Chengming Palace and heard a lot of news from the palace.

Hearing this, Xie Jiu lowered his eyes, "In this case, she can only hope that the emperor will make the decision for her."

When she said this, Chunrong and Qingfang looked at each other, feeling heavy in their hearts.

Xie Jiu also had some strange emotions in her heart, but what could she do? Facing these things, she could not be the savior.

In fact, even now, her own situation is not good.

When even my own future is uncertain and my feet are unstable, how can I have the extra energy and thoughts to think about others?

So after adjusting his mood, Xie Jiu went about his own business.

According to the time Zhao Xingjin told her, the Queen Mother would be back in the palace in five or six days. She would have to make preparations before she could pay her respects. She had heard that the Queen Mother was worshipping Buddha, and she had been copying scriptures these days. She only had a little left to copy, so she had to continue.

Unexpectedly, while she was quietly copying the scriptures, Sun Baolin was in an uproar.

The course of events changed completely. There was indeed something wrong with the snacks that Concubine Zhuang gave to Sun Baolin, but it was found out that it was not Concubine Zhuang who did it, but Qin Lan, the head maid of Princess Wenxi.

The queen gave the order and immediately went to Changle Palace to take Qinlan away.

Poor Princess Wenxi was frightened and at a loss. She was anxious to save people, but no one in the palace knew who to ask for help. After thinking for a while, she finally ran to Chengming Palace crying and looked for Xie Jiu.

"Teacher! Teacher! Wuuuuuu teacher!"

Princess Wenxi's crying voice came from the door. Xie Jiu frowned, immediately put down the pen in his hand, and walked out quickly.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw the little person with red eyes crying. When he saw Xie Jiu, he ran over quickly, pounced on him and hugged Xie Jiu.

"Teacher, please save Aunt Lan. She didn't harm the little brother in Madam Sun's belly. She wouldn't do that!"

After spending some time together, Xie Jiu had developed some feelings for Princess Wenxi. Seeing the usually cute, gentle and smiling girl burst into tears, he felt very distressed.

He quickly bent down, hugged her, and gently wiped her tears.

"Your Highness, please don't cry. The teacher is here. Please explain the situation slowly and clearly. I will think of a solution, okay?"

Princess Wenxi nodded and stumblingly told the news she had learned. Xie Jiu briefly reviewed it in his mind and guessed what had happened.

The reason was that today Concubine Zhuang ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a portion of snacks that she loved to eat when she was pregnant, and asked the imperial kitchen to send it to Sun Baolin. After the food was ready, it was not sent in time. Qin Lan went to the kitchen to get the snacks for Princess Wenxi, but somehow she took the wrong one.

After the discovery, it was sent back, and then the snack was sent to Sun Baolin. After Sun Baolin finished eating it, she had a miscarriage.

The imperial physician found something that could promote blood circulation in the heart.

It happened that not long ago, when Princess Wenxi was playing in the imperial garden, she met Concubine Zhuang and the Fourth Prince, mother and son. The Fourth Prince was unruly and domineering. He not only snatched Princess Wenxi's butterfly net, but also broke it. He also mocked Princess Wenxi for having no mother and having a bad luck and a miserable life.

Qin Lan was so angry that she tried to reason with the Fourth Prince, but this caused Concubine Zhuang to come and protect her son. She scolded her severely, slapped her in the face, and made her kneel in the imperial garden as punishment.

Therefore, when Sun Baolin had a miscarriage today, it was suspected that Qin Lan had done something about it, and she wanted to put the blame on Concubine Zhuang to vent her anger for the humiliation she and the princess had suffered before.

But Xie Jiu believed that Qin Lan definitely did not do it. Could it be that Concubine Zhuang deliberately directed and acted in this drama in order to get rid of the dragon fetus in Sun Baolin's belly while ensuring that the scapegoat she found would be useful and help her escape perfectly?

This speculation is not unreasonable. After all, Qinlan's master is Princess Wenxi. The princess is only seven years old. How could she have the means to protect her own slaves?

But Xie Jiu felt that something was wrong.

Qin Lan has always been kind, steady and low-key, and has always only been around the young master Princess Wenxi. Everyone around her has seen it. Can Zhao Xingjin believe that such an honest person would be chosen as a scapegoat?

Another thing is that the probability of a slave harming his master is extremely low. Moreover, according to the above speculation, Qin Lan, a palace maid, plotted against two concubines at the same time, which is a serious crime of murdering the dragon heir. Does she have the courage to do that?
No matter how he looked at it, Xie Jiu always felt that this matter might not be over with Qin Lan, and there might be something hidden behind it.

But she never expected that just when she figured it out, the next person to be implicated would be her.

Yang Zhian came over with a grim expression and said, "Miss Xie, please come with me. The Emperor and the Empress have something to ask you."
