Queen's Development

Chapter 165
It was getting dark outside.

The elegant tea fragrance is lingering in Yutang Hall.

On New Year's Eve, because of Lin Jia's company, Emperor Yongtai was in high spirits. He poured a cup of maple dew tea and handed it to Lin Jia. He said with a smile, "Ajia, this is the second recipe. How about you try it?"

Lin Jia took the delicate teacup, took a sip, felt the taste of the tea was very good, and said, "Uncle Huang, give me some of this tea!"

Hearing this, Emperor Yongtai smiled triumphantly: "I knew that if you tasted this tea, you would definitely ask me for it, so I ordered someone to prepare it!"

After finishing speaking, he told the little eunuch: "Bring over the tea in the white jade box!"

The little eunuch answered "yes" and quickly brought the tea.

Lin Jia smiled and got up to thank, then looked at Emperor Yongtai: "Uncle Huang, let me accompany you to the Queen Mother's place!"

It was not yet time for the banquet to start, Emperor Yongtai didn't particularly want to go, so there was some hesitation on his face.

Lin Jia's handsome face showed a trace of worry: "Uncle Huang, Concubine Li is also in the Empress Dowager's Palace, she...she... Yushi's pregnancy..."

Seeing Lin Jia's hesitation, Emperor Yongtai knew that Lin Jia was worried that Concubine Li would do harm to the Yu family, so he couldn't help being a little angry—Li Shi was really too daring—immediately said: "What are you afraid of! I have my backing for you!"

Although he felt that Lin Jia loved the Yu family too much, and he felt a little dissatisfied, but now that the Yu family is pregnant with Lin Jia's flesh and blood, mothers are more precious than their sons, so that is different!

Seeing that Emperor Yongtai was angry, Lin Jia lowered his eyes and pondered for a while. When he raised his eyes to look at Emperor Yongtai, his phoenix eyes were already in tears: "Uncle Huang, if it wasn't for the Yu family these years, my nephew would have died in the hands of others... My nephew and The Yu family is the love of adversity..."

Emperor Yongtai became angrier the more he heard it, and immediately said: "A man, how can you shed tears at every turn? With me here, let's see who dares to touch your woman!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up and said, "I will take you to the Queen Mother!"

At this moment in the Empress Dowager's palace, Yu Zhi still maintained the posture of curtseying and standing in the palace.

This posture is naturally very uncomfortable, even though Yuzhi is in a strong body and has been trained for a long time, it is still difficult to persist.

She glanced at Concubine Li out of the corner of her eye, and saw her sitting there triumphantly, with a smug smile on her lips.

Yuzhi glanced at Empress Dowager Sun again, and found that Empress Dowager Sun was taking the teacup handed over by the maid, and was sipping it slowly.

After counting the time again, Yuzhi knew that Lin Jia was about to arrive, so she made a precarious appearance, her body trembling slightly, and then looked at the Queen Mother beggingly, her voice continued intermittently: "Mother... Queen Mother, concubine... ...I really can't hold on...my stomach hurts..."

Concubine Li heard the words, and said softly: "Queen Mother, this little hoof is pretending again!"

Empress Dowager Sun looked at Yuzhi, seeing that she was still holding Xizi's heart at this point, she couldn't help but think of her grandniece Sun Yumei - such a vixen, even if Yumei married, how could she win?It's better to get rid of her early!
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Sun snorted and said, "Hu Meizi, reflect on yourself!"

Yuzhi listened attentively, and after hearing the sound of her boots stepping on the sapphire board, she pretended to shake her body and fell limply on the carpet.

Emperor Yongtai rushed over with Lin Jia, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw Yuzhi lying limply on the carpet.

Seeing this, Lin Jia rushed over and knelt beside Yuzhi on one knee: "Yuzhi, what's wrong with you?"

Yuzhi pretended to faint and remained motionless.

Lin Jia hurriedly looked at Emperor Yongtai, crying in her voice: "Uncle Huang, she passed out!"

Emperor Yongtai hurriedly looked at Eunuch Ding: "Trash! I asked you to accompany Mrs. Yu here, how did you do it!"

Eunuch Ding was terrified and knelt down on the carpet with a "plop".

Emperor Yongtai was furious: "Don't ask the imperial doctor yet!"

Eunuch Ding jumped up hastily, rushed out, and ordered his cronies to invite the imperial physician.

Lin Jia looked up at Emperor Yongtai, her phoenix eyes were already moist, and her voice trembled slightly, as if trying to suppress her fear: "Uncle Huang, the doctor said that the first three months of pregnancy are the most important, I—"

Empress Dowager Sun was quite dissatisfied when she saw that Emperor Yongtai and Lin Jia were acting as Zhang Zhizhi, she hummed and said, "It's just a lowly concubine, what's the point? Even if I beat her to death, so what!"

Emperor Yongtai raised his eyes to look at Empress Dowager Sun, and then at Concubine Li, knowing that his birth mother was simple-minded, and must have been provoked by Concubine Li, so his anger rose immediately, he glanced at Eunuch Ding, and ordered: "Concubine Li is messing up the palace. March!"

Empress Dowager Sun felt that Emperor Yongtai had dealt with it too seriously, and was about to speak, but was turned back by Emperor Yongtai's cold eyes, so she had to keep silent.

Concubine Li has always been very temperamental. She has been used to bossing her around since she was young, and no one has ever dared to make her angry. She never thought that Emperor Yongtai would punish her for such a trivial matter without showing her face.

Her face was flushed with anger, and her body was shaking.

Ding Dang waved his hand, and the two eunuchs stepped forward to carry Concubine Li out.

Concubine Li has never been subjected to such a shameful humiliation, she pointed at Emperor Yongtai: "You...you..."

As she spoke, she felt that her face had become numb, she was a little out of control, and her body began to go numb.

Empress Dowager Sun found that Concubine Li's mouth and eyes were crooked, and the corners of her mouth were drooling, she was taken aback immediately, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Li, she...she..." Could it be that she had a stroke?
Emperor Yongtai knew at a glance that Concubine Li had suffered a stroke from anger, and couldn't help frowning.

Lin Jia also guessed that Concubine Li had a stroke, and now is the best time for treatment, so she immediately looked at the two eunuchs and said sharply, "Send Concubine Li back to the mansion for treatment!"

It is necessary to delay the time and let Concubine Li collapse on the bed. There will not be so many things in the future!

Those two eunuchs were Eunuch Ding's confidantes, they trembled when they heard the words, and rushed out with the help of Concubine Li who was half-stretched and disobedient.

Emperor Yongtai glanced at Lin Jia, knowing that Lin Jia wanted to make Concubine Li's life worse than death, but he didn't stop him, but told Lin Jia: "Ajia, hug Yu Shi first!"

After a while, the imperial doctor rushed over.

Lin Jia saw that it was the imperial physician Weng who had been placed in the imperial hospital by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he glanced at the imperial physician Weng as if nothing had happened.

Imperial physician Weng understood, and got up after saluting, and went to the imperial concubine's bed to show Yuzhi's pulse.

After a while, Imperial Physician Weng pondered for a while, and then said: "This is fetal gas, you need to rest well."

He told Emperor Yongtai in detail again, Emperor Yongtai was in a fog, so he had to look at Lin Jia: "Ajia, you put Yushi in the side hall of Yutang Hall first, and let people guard her first!"

The side hall of Yutangdian is where Lin Jia rests in the palace, so it is appropriate to put Mrs. Yu there.

Lin Jia answered "yes", walked over and wrapped Yu Zhi, who was still unconscious, in a black satin cloak, picked her up and retreated.

After Lin Jia left, Emperor Yongtai withdrew the waiters: "You all step back, I have something to say to the Queen Mother."

Only himself and the Queen Mother Sun were left in the hall, Emperor Yongtai sighed and said in a low voice: "Mother, my son has a secret..."

After listening to Emperor Yongtai's words, Empress Dowager Sun stayed there, like a wooden sculpture made of clay.

Emperor Yongtai knew that his mother couldn't accept it for a while, so he stopped talking and sat there quietly with Queen Mother Sun.

Lin Jia carried Yuzhi into the side hall of the Yutang Hall, and gently placed Yuzhi on the imperial concubine's couch.

Yu Zhi lay there motionless, as if she was still in a coma.

Seeing this, Lin Jia couldn't help laughing, leaned over and kissed Yuzhi on the lips, and then sat there looking at Yuzhi.

The corners of Yuzhi's mouth curled up, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, she slowly opened her eyes, and said in an exaggerated chant-like tone: "Ah, who am I? Where am I?"

She turned her eyes to look at Lin Jia, and reached out to touch Lin Jia's face: "Huh? Who is this handsome young man? Could it be my face?"

Lin Jia was still a little heavy in her heart, but when Yuzhi made such a fuss, she immediately laughed and leaned over to kiss Yuzhi.

Yuzhi was still laughing at first, but when she smiled, she lost her voice, immersed in Lin Jia's kiss.

When she found out that Lin Jia had reacted again, she couldn't help being angry and funny, and pushed Lin Jia away: "Sex monster, go away!"

Lin Jia let go of Yu Zhi, breathing quickly, her phoenix eyes were wet, her lips were red, she was clearly in love.

Yuzhi squeezed her clothes mischievously, and said, "Let's talk about it when we go home!"

Lin Jia's voice was hoarse, "Mm", and said softly: "Grand Concubine Li may have had a stroke, her mouth is crooked, her eyes are slanted, her words are difficult to pronounce, and she can't even stand still!"

Hearing this, Yuzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's true that evil is rewarded with evil!"

Lin Jiajun's face was serious, and he said: "The talk of retribution in this world is just for people to comfort themselves! If you want the wicked to get retribution, you still have to do it yourself!"

Yu Zhi thought it was true: "If you can't count on yourself, you still want to count on God, it's just a dream!"

At noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Jia took Yuzhi back home.

As soon as they sat down in the Ming Room, Li Rui came in: "My lord, Auntie, Concubine Li is paralyzed!"

Lin Jia and Yuzhi couldn't help looking at each other and smiling when they heard the words.
