Chapter 364 Concubine Rou is pregnant
"Father chose me from the side branch and sent me to the palace. I will definitely return the favor and regard the glory of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion as more important than my own life!"
"I will definitely become the queen and give birth to a prince with the blood of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. He will also become the next emperor of the Great Zhou!"
Only then did Queen Jiang smile with satisfaction.
After Jiang Wange left, she used her last bit of strength to grab Fanghua's hand: "...Send someone to Zhongcui Palace to ask Concubine Rou to come over! Just tell her that I have something extremely important to tell her!"
Fanghua had served Queen Jiang for so many years and knew her very well. At this moment, she already understood what Queen Jiang wanted to do.
Fang Hua couldn't help but feel a surge of sadness in her heart, and she choked up and asked, "My Lady, are you trying to use your death to drag Concubine Rou down with you?"
Queen Jiang's eye sockets sunken deeply, and a cold murderous intent flashed in her eyes: "No matter how much your majesty hates me, I am still the queen!"
"If I died at the hands of Concubine Rou, even if everyone knows there is something fishy about this, Concubine Rou will be accused of murdering the Queen. Even if Your Majesty does not punish her, she will never be able to ascend to the throne!"
"This is the last... the last obstacle I can remove for Concubine Wen..."
Fanghua's face was full of tears.
But at this moment, no matter how sad she is, she has to put the overall situation first!
"Your Majesty's idea is very good. But...but your Majesty's biggest rival is your Majesty the Imperial Concubine..."
"Since you have decided to set up a trap with yourself, why don't you bring in the Imperial Concubine, but target a mere Concubine Rou?"
Perhaps it was a last burst of energy, Queen Jiang was in much better spirits than usual: "I also want to get rid of the imperial concubine."
"But there is the Empress Dowager in the harem, and the Duke Dingguo's Mansion in the previous dynasty. The foundation of the Imperial Concubine cannot be shaken by me."
"Even though Roupin's father is already a high-ranking official, the Shen family does not have a deep foundation in the capital. Roupin is pregnant with the royal heir and is favored by His Majesty. She will definitely become a major concern for Concubine Wen in the future!"
"I will never, never allow anyone to threaten the future of the Zhenguo Mansion!"
Fanghua wiped the tears from her face and said sadly: "Yes, I understand!"
……
Zhongcui Palace.
When Shen Zhinian heard Fanghua say that Queen Jiang wanted to invite her to Kunning Palace for a chat, she instantly realized that this was a Hongmen Banquet!
However, just as Queen Jiang said, even if the imperial seal was taken away, she was still the Queen of the Central Palace! How could Shen Zhinian refuse to see a concubine?
Moreover, people will subconsciously sympathize with the weak, and Queen Jiang is about to die. If Shen Zhinian does not go when she summons him at this time, it will definitely cause a lot of criticism.
When Queen Jiang passes away, Shen Zhinian's enemies will immediately accuse her of disrespecting the late queen!
However, the other party has a trick, and she also has a way to break it.
Shen Zhinian exchanged glances with Handan and Fuqiu. There was a great tacit understanding between the master and servant, and the two of them understood what she meant instantly.
"…The Empress has summoned me, and I dare not disobey. I will go to Kunning Palace right now!"
Fanghua lowered her head to hide the coldness that flashed across her eyes: "Please, Concubine Rou!"
But who knew... when going down the stairs, Shen Zhinian accidentally stepped on empty air!
"Mother!!!"
Handan and Fuqiu screamed at the same time and rushed over!
The two of them supported her in time, and although Shen Zhinian did not fall, she still sprained her ankle.
She held her stomach, looking in pain: "My stomach... My stomach hurts so much..."
Handan hurriedly said, "Imperial Physician! Go get the Imperial Physician!"
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and everyone carefully helped Shen Zhinian to the inner room.
Fuqiu had a look of anxiety on her face, and she apologized, "Madam Fanghua, the queen had such an accident, and we don't know whether the heir in her belly is okay. I'm afraid I can't go to see the queen."
"Please tell the Queen to forgive me. When our Queen is well again, I will go to Kunning Palace to apologize in person!"
Youth: “…”
Her Majesty the Queen has to hold on until that day!
How could she not see that Concubine Rou did it on purpose!
But what could she do? She couldn't have anyone forcibly carry Concubine Rou to Kunning Palace.
Even if the Queen's plan succeeded, the false accusation would be too obvious.
Fang Hua could only suppress the coldness in her heart and said with a fake smile: "It's okay, Concubine Rou's health is more important."
Fuqiu walked into the inner room: "My lady, Nanny Fanghua has left."
Shen Zhinian sat in the main seat, regaining his relaxed and comfortable look, without any trace of pain from before.
Xiao Mingzi reacted and patted his chest and said, "It turns out that the queen didn't want to go to Kunning Palace, so you guys played this drama together."
"Just now I thought that the Madam had really fallen down, and I was so scared that my soul almost flew away!"
A trace of gloom flashed in Shen Zhinian's eyes: "The one in Kunning Palace won't live for a few days, and she still wants to plot against me! In this case, I will give her the last great gift!"
In her previous life, Queen Jiang was a queen who enjoyed unlimited glory all her life. It was not until long after her death that she was deposed and became a commoner.
In this life, Shen Zhinian wanted to pull Queen Jiang down from the throne while she was still alive! Let the world know the evil things she had done, and let her die with condemnation and infamy!
Otherwise, if one day Shen Zhinian ascends to the throne, there will be a former queen before her, how disgusting!
Tang Luochuan rushed to Zhongcui Palace as fast as he could. Before he could even catch his breath, he hurriedly bowed and asked, "What's wrong with your Majesty?!"
Shen Zhinian looked at him dimly: "I am fine, but I hope to look like I am fine."
Only then did Tang Luochuan notice that Concubine Rou looked normal and did not look like she had miscarried, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"...I will obey your Majesty's orders!"
……
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Nangong Xuanyu looked at the secret letter in his hand and was very pleased!
The letter said that Zhou Yuxi had been lurking for so long and finally succeeded in seizing the military token from the Duke of Zhenguo!
At this point, the other arm of the Zhenguogong Mansion was also cut off!
Who knew that at this moment, Li Changde strode in from outside and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, something happened! Concubine Rou had a miscarriage, and the imperial physician is trying her best to treat her!"
"What did you say?!"
Nangong Xuanyu suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, the joy in his heart was swept away, and he hurried out: "What's going on?!"
"Hasn't Roupin's pregnancy been stable? Why did she suddenly have a miscarriage?!"
When he said this, he himself did not notice that his hands under his sleeves were trembling slightly, and infinite panic surged in his heart!
If something happened to Nian Nian and the child...
Nangong Xuanyu didn't dare to think further!
Li Changde said nervously, "It is said that Fanghua from Kunning Palace said that the Queen Mother summoned Concubine Rou and asked her to come over immediately! In her anxiety, Concubine Rou missed a step and fell down..."
