prosperous power pet

Chapter 251
At that time, the queen had no children, and Cheng Meiren and another concubine Lu Baolin were pregnant first in the harem.

Cheng Meiren and Lu Baolin are people who are aware of current affairs, knowing that the queen is powerful, and there is no benefit in fighting her, so they sided with the queen early on.

So for the queen, although she failed to get pregnant, she was anxious.But after all, someone can rush to have a child before Xiao Lingyi, as long as Xiao Lingyi cannot give birth to the eldest son of the emperor, her position will not be shaken.

Therefore, she will naturally do her best to protect Cheng Meiren and Lu Baolin's unborn child. As for the seed in Xiao Lingyi's belly, she must try to get rid of it.

However, she still underestimated how precious Jun Wuyin was to Xiao Lingyi.

After learning that Xiao Lingyi was pregnant, Jun Wuyin was ecstatic.

He could see Xiao Lingyi's depression during this period, but no matter what he said or did, Xiao Lingyi always had a cold expression, and he didn't show him any good looks, and even listened to Xiao Lingyi. According to the palace official, she still tends to go on hunger strike from time to time.

Just when Jun Wuqin was upset and his patience was about to run out, news of Xiao Lingyi's pregnancy suddenly came, and things suddenly turned around.

He knew that Xiao Lingyi had a soft temper, no matter how much he hated him, he would definitely persevere for the sake of the child in his womb.

Sure enough, after Xiao Lingyi found out that she was pregnant, her will to survive became much stronger. Although she still had a cold attitude towards Jun Wuyin, she became more regular in her diet and daily life, and gradually gained the courage to live.

While Jun Wuyin breathed a sigh of relief, he also knew that the empress would definitely regard the child in Xiao Lingyi's womb as a thorn in her flesh, so she made a special order to save Xiao Lingyi from all the morning and evening sleep. Without his permission, ordinary people would not be able to In and out of Xiao Lingyi Palace.

Moreover, they sent armored guards to guard day and night, and surrounded Xiao Lingyi's bedroom so tightly that not even a fly could fly out.

When the queen learned about it, she was so angry that she was half dead, but there was nothing she could do.

Emperor Zhao's move was obviously for her to guard against. If she took the risk again, even if she lost the fetus in Xiao Lingyi's womb, Emperor Zhao would definitely not let her go. .

While everyone was thinking differently, time passed quickly.

Lu Baolin was the first to give birth, but he collapsed after giving birth, and disappeared after giving birth to the eldest prince.

Cheng Cairen also gave birth to a prince, who was ranked second, and his mother became the last of the nine concubines by virtue of his son Guijin.

As for Xiao Lingyi, after all, he was depressed and hurt his body, and gave birth to a prince prematurely, who was ranked third. Emperor Zhao followed Xiao Lingyi's suggestion and gave him the name Shu.

Seeing Xiao Lingyi giving birth smoothly, the queen felt extremely jealous.

In the past, the Ministry of Rites should draw up several options for the name of the prince, and then submit it to the emperor to decide, but Xiao Lingyi never expected that she would have the privilege to name the prince herself!
Emperor Zhao's preferential treatment to her was really too much.If things go on like this, I will lose my position as queen!

The queen has a ruthless temperament, it is impossible for her to be so resigned to being inferior, so she quickly thought of another way to deal with it.

On the one hand, she personally carried and raised the eldest prince born by Lu Baolin.In this way, the First Prince was recorded under her name, and in terms of identity, he was both the eldest son and the eldest son, so he was really the best candidate for the position of Prince.

Emperor Zhao didn't like her from the very beginning, except when he had to come to her palace every month, on other days, Emperor Zhao summoned her only a handful of times. If things go on like this, it is almost impossible for her to conceive his own child.So, she has to make second-hand preparations.

After all, in the harem dispute, only the heir is the key.

It's a pity that man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. The eldest prince was born in poor health, and when he was raised for more than a year, a high fever took his young life.

On the other hand, the Queen came up with Xiao Lingyi's idea again.

She knew that although Emperor Zhao had a deep affection for Xiao Lingyi, he had always cared a lot about Xiao Lingyi's marriage to Jun Wuchen.

And she was planning to attack Ni Lin, Emperor Zhao.

Not long after Xiao Lingyi gave birth to Jun Shu, there were rumors about Jun Shu's identity in the palace. It was said that Jun Shu was actually Jun Wuchen's son, so Xiao Lingyi gave birth prematurely because she was pregnant with him long before that. .

At this time, the imperial physician who had diagnosed Xiao Lingyi's pulse also died suddenly.

For a moment, it seemed that all the evidence proved the fact that Jun Shu's identity was in doubt.

Rumors soon spread to Emperor Zhao's ears.

He was always suspicious, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he angrily confronted Xiao Lingyi.

Xiao Lingyi also got the news, knowing that Emperor Zhao would come to confront her sooner or later, so when Emperor Zhao came, her expression was very calm.

In Jun Wuyin's eyes, the doubts that were already full of him disappeared a bit.

"Did the emperor come here because of rumors?" Xiao Lingyi leaned on the imperial concubine's couch by the window, her expression was as cold as frost, and her tone seemed to come from the distant sky.

For some reason, seeing her candid posture, Jun Wuyin suddenly felt a little ashamed to see her.

He should have believed her, but the moment he heard the rumors, he was still shaken.

He fears--

He knew that he hadn't won Xiao Lingyi's heart yet, all he could do was to tie her body until she fell in love with him.

But if, if this child belongs to Jun Wuchen, how can Xiao Ling face him every day, how can he completely erase Jun Wuchen from his heart?
"Lingyi..." he spoke with some difficulty.

Xiao Lingyi withdrew her gaze from the window, did not get up, and did not salute, only coolly fell on Jun Wuyin's face, her tone was so calm that there was no wave,
"The emperor doesn't believe me?" Her pupils were dark and her brows were slightly raised.

"Lingyi, I..." Jun Wuyin didn't know how to respond.

The corner of Xiao Lingyi's mouth twitched into a sneering smile, "The imperial doctor who took my pulse at the beginning was found by the emperor, don't you know whether this child belongs to the emperor?" After a slight pause, his voice was as cold as a thousand years old Han Bing said, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can kill him directly."

Hearing the determination in her words, Jun Wuyin felt a "thump" in his heart, hurried forward two steps, then sat down on the soft couch, put his arms around her thin shoulders, and said with a smile, "Lingyi, I That's not what I meant. I just heard the rumors in the palace, and I was afraid you would think too much, so I came to see you."

Although he smiled tenderly on his face, his thoughts turned quickly.

What Xiao Lingyi said was right, the imperial physician who checked her pulse and saved her pregnancy was indeed hand-picked by him, and he had confirmed her innocence beforehand, so it was absolutely impossible for Xiao Lingyi to bribe her.

He captured Lindu in January, and Jun Wuchen committed suicide. In February, he took Xiao Lingyi's body forcibly. is their own.

Besides, Xiao Lingyi was really depressed during her pregnancy, her body was weak, and it was not impossible for her to give birth a month prematurely.

When he heard the rumor in the first day of junior high school, he didn't think much about it. He only felt that his heart was burning with jealousy, so he didn't think much about it, so he came here with the mentality of provoking a teacher.

It's just that, when he saw Xiao Lingyi's resolute demeanor, the suspicion he had originally dissipated.

No matter whether it was the imperial physician who checked the pulse back then, or Xiao Lingyi's attitude now, he couldn't find anything to make him suspicious.

Xiao Lingyi sneered, "I don't dare to guess randomly what the emperor is thinking. It's just that if the emperor doesn't believe me, there is no need to keep me in this world."

Seeing her tone getting colder, Jun Wuyin panicked a bit.

Finally, during this period of time, Xiao Lingyi gave birth to the little prince, and his mood became brighter, and he was no longer as cold as before. If the relationship between the two fell to freezing point again due to such groundless rumors, it would be really worth the candle. .

Quickly holding her shoulders, he whispered coaxingly, "Lingyi, I was confused for a while, so don't be as fussy as I am. Where's Shu'er? Hold her up and show me."

Jun Wuyin turned his head and told the maid who was waiting on the side.

Holding the little prince up, Xiao Lingyi's mood will probably be better.

Xiao Lingyi took his hand away calmly, and said in a cold tone, "Shu'er just fell asleep, and asked the wet nurse to carry him down. The emperor wants to see him, next time."

"Okay, okay." Jun Wuji agreed unconditionally, "Recently, some rare pearls have been brought up as tribute from the east. I'll ask someone to bring them to you, and see if you like them."

"No need." Xiao Lingyi glanced at him, "This time the rumors are clearly aimed at me. My identity is the original sin, and I am powerless and do not want to refute the infamy that everyone has imposed on me. But Shu'er is innocent, I hope the emperor will not let Shu'er become a victim of the harem battle."

Speaking of this, she raised her eyebrows, and there was a hint of cold sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, "It's fine, why did the imperial doctor who diagnosed me die suddenly? Could it be that someone wanted to create the illusion that I was guilty? Who is behind this scene, Presumably the emperor knows better than me."

Jun Wuji's smile froze on his face.

This question, his heart is like a mirror.The behind-the-scenes instigation was clearly aimed at Xiao Lingyi and the third prince. In the entire harem, except for the queen, who could have such skill and courage?
Originally, because of the Xue family's face, he only planned to secretly warn the queen to make her restrain herself in the future.But he didn't want to, Xiao Lingyi directly put this matter on the table.

If he failed to punish the queen this time, Xiao Lingyi must have completely chilled him. In the future, there would be no possibility of repairing the relationship between the two of them, let alone making her fall in love with him.

Feeling helpless, it seems that this time, it is better to beat the queen.

Nodding, with a solemn expression, "Lingyi, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter and find out the truth, and give you justice."

Xiao Lingyi cast a deep look at him, with a cold expression, "I hope the emperor won't let me down again."

Jun Wuyin is indeed a man of his word and will do it.

Although this matter was instigated by the empress, but it involves the face of the royal family and the identity of the empress, so the empress cannot be blatantly brought out.

Jun Wuyin first sent someone to investigate the death of the imperial physician falsely, proving that it was an accidental sudden death.He also ordered Jin Yiwei to strictly suppress rumors in the palace, and anyone who dared to spread rumors in the palace would be shot to death.In the end, in the name of ineffective governance of the harem, the queen was banned for three months.

After this incident, Xiao Lingyi's status in Jun Wuyin's heart was completely confirmed, and no one dared to blatantly trip her up, even the queen, her arrogance has subsided a lot.

This matter, even if it is in the past.

Unexpectedly, 21 years later, this rumor was found out again, and it tended to intensify.

This time, Xu has learned the lesson from more than 20 years ago. The focus of the rumors is on Xiao Lingyi's premature birth, and what Wen Po, who delivered Shen Chuhan's birth, said. Shen Chuhan was fat and healthy when he was born, he didn't look like a premature baby at all, he was born at full term.

As for why there was no difference in the pulse condition, it must have been covered up by some medicine, which caused the doctor's diagnosis to be biased.

The news spread with nose and eyes, and soon everyone knew it.

When Xiao Zhuo heard the news, he broke out in a cold sweat. Hearing that Shen Chuhan had gone to court, he hurried to his courtyard.

Although Xiao Zhuo was already a powerful figure in Liang Country, after returning to Zhao Country, because he was Shen Chuhan's confidant, Emperor Zhao didn't trust him, and now he didn't arrange any position for him, and only lived together with Shen Chuhan in Chengwen Hall .

Mu Bai led Xiao Zhuo in.

Shen Chuhan was writing something in the study, when he saw Xiao Zhuo coming in, he motioned for him to sit down first, continued to finish writing the things under his hand, waited for the ink to dry, put it in an envelope, sealed it and handed it to Mu Bai, "Pass it to Wuyou Valley."

Mu Bai should be, backed out.

Shen Chuhan looked at Xiao Zhuo, smiled and said, "Why do you look so worried?"

Xiao Zhuo frowned and said, "Have you heard the rumors in the palace recently?"

Shen Chuhan raised his eyebrows indifferently, "Those rumors about my identity?"

Xiao Zhuo nodded, and seeing his calm face, his brows frowned even tighter, "Now that the rumors come out, Emperor Zhao may be more suspicious of you. In two days, it will be the day of confessing relatives with blood. , Your Highness, have you thought of a countermeasure?"

Shen Chuhan's eyes were cold, and there was no warmth in his expression. He breathed out slightly, with a cold smile that was not a smile, his thin lips parted slightly, and he uttered four words, "Just plan."
