When no one noticed her, she looked at Concubine Shun beside her, with a smile on her face: "Thank you, sister."
Concubine Shun looked flattered: "Sister, you're welcome. My sister is not in good health, so it's better not to drink. My sister made her own decision and asked someone to replace the wine with water. I hope you won't blame me."
After all, the former Concubine De was the most attractive empress in the palace.
She had the highest status and was the Queen Mother's niece. She was in charge of the harem under the Queen Mother's orders. All the concubines relied on her to live their lives and were extremely cautious in front of her.
Even Concubine Shun is no exception.
"Sister, you are interested!" Concubine De smiled and continued to eat.
Of course, the food in the palace is delicious.
Because of the cold weather, there was a compartment under the plate with boiling water inside, so the dishes did not cool down so quickly, so De Fei found it suitable to use it.
In the middle of the palace banquet, the emperor saw that it was getting late, so he planned to leave on the grounds of physical weakness.
At this moment, Concubine De, who was still talking to Concubine Shun, suddenly covered her stomach, with a look of pain on her face, and sweat on her forehead.
"Sister!" Concubine Shun was startled and quickly stretched out her hand to support Concubine De.
"Your Majesty!" The maids around Concubine De were shocked.
"What happened?" The Queen Mother's expression changed.
"Back to the Queen Mother, our Queen has a stomachache." The eldest maid next to Concubine De reported loudly.
"Send her back to Chenghui Palace quickly and ask the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment." The Queen Mother said loudly, and at the same time she winked at Nanny Pei beside her, asking her to quickly bring someone over to help and send Concubine De back to Chenghui Palace.
"Mother, Imperial Doctor Jiang is on duty today. He is in the side hall. He has superb medical skills. Let him come over first to show Concubine De." The emperor turned his head and said.
When the Queen Mother heard this and was about to refuse, Cui Jingyu, who was beside the emperor, had already gone to invite someone.
A moment later, Jiang Liyuan hurried over with a medicine box on his back.
Concubine De couldn't hold on any longer and slumped down on the chair, leaning against the palace maid. She was sweating from the pain, her lips were white, her hands were shaking, and she couldn't say a word.
Jiang Liyuan knelt on the ground and took Concubine De's pulse.
Seeing his solemn expression, the Queen Mother quickly said: "How is Concubine De? Is it important?!
When she said this, she was actually warning Jiang Liyuan not to talk nonsense, otherwise his life would be at risk.
Of course, the Queen Mother was very worried at this time and worried about her grandson's safety.
She finally has a grandson, but she must not let anything happen.
"To report to the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager De Fei has been poisoned. This poison will not kill anyone in a short period of time, but it will cause abdominal cramps and extreme pain. I will prepare an antidote right now to detoxify the empress." Jiang Liyuan did not expose it. Concubine De is pregnant.
This matter was not a secret in the Taiyuan Hospital, and the emperor did not allow him to make it public. He was not impatient, so of course he avoided talking about it.
"How long will it take to prepare the antidote?" King Wei couldn't help but ask.
Concubine De is carrying his son, can he not be anxious?
Concubine De was poisoned, and she didn't know whether it would harm the child.
"If you return to the prince, it will be ready in a quarter of an hour at most." After Imperial Physician Jiang finished speaking, he quickly ordered the maids beside Concubine De to carry her to the side hall.
The palace maids were not very strong, so they moved the concubine together, but they were afraid of something happening.
At this moment, the emperor's voice sounded in the main hall: "Third brother, please send Concubine De to the side hall."
King Wei was already a little anxious, but after hearing what the emperor said, he did not doubt that he was there, so he quickly stepped forward and hugged Concubine De.
The imperial brother has said so, what else does he have to be taboo about?
Besides, who among the emperor’s relatives doesn’t know about the affair between Concubine De and him?
With the emperor's brother and mother around, these people didn't dare to tell anyone.
However, King Wei had neglected to exercise. Recently, he was greedy for pleasure and had a lot of mischief with the women in the backyard. He even summoned a few people to wait on him last night, but today he still feels that his steps are in vain.
After Concubine De became pregnant, she became much rounder and heavier than before. King Wei staggered and could not hold her.
Fortunately, the two eunuchs beside him had quick hands and quick eyes, and they knelt on the ground and caught Concubine De.
"Hurry up and carry this person to the side hall for me." King Wei's face turned red.
If he had known this day, he shouldn't have been lazy during these days, and should have practiced boxing and kicking with the people under his command.
"Yes!" The two eunuchs were both skilled and carried Concubine De easily.
King Wei subconsciously wanted to follow, but he felt something was stained on his hands. He raised his head and saw that both of his hands were covered with blood.
"Queen Mother!" King Wei was shocked and quickly turned his head to show the Queen Mother.
Of course everyone saw it.
The Queen Mother looked gloomy, glared at King Wei fiercely, and went to the side hall in person.
King Wei also trotted to keep up.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all a little confused.
It seemed that Concubine De was really pregnant, but...she had just been poisoned and was already showing signs of miscarriage, otherwise King Wei would not have had his hands covered in blood just because he hugged her.
"It's getting late. I'm weak and a little out of mind. I'll go back to Taiqian Palace first. You can continue the banquet and enjoy the singing and dancing!" After the emperor finished speaking, he waved his hand and left with Wang Fusheng and the others.
It was quite lively today, but for the emperor, it was much more important to go out to accompany Meng Shu than to stay in the palace and watch the excitement.
They had agreed on a time and place to meet, so they couldn't be late.
As soon as the emperor left, the relatives and relatives in the hall suddenly started whispering.
The emperor must be so unlucky. Not only did he have to give up the throne, but even the concubines in the harem were pregnant with King Wei's child. This was a great shame and humiliation for the emperor.
But the emperor didn't know why, but he didn't care at all.
Could it be that in the emperor's heart, his younger brother King Wei is more important than anything else?
Then King Liang and King Jin may have no chance of inheriting the throne.
The two brothers also came to the banquet today.
Both of them looked unhappy at the moment.
Prince Liang said to the princess beside him: "Brother Huang can even endure this, how can he still be considered a man?"
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say!" Princess Liang was startled and she really wanted to reach out and cover Prince Liang's mouth.
"My concubine was having an affair with my brother and she was pregnant. My brother actually pretended that he didn't see it. It seems that he really doesn't have much time left... He doesn't care about anything." King Jin, who was sitting on the right side of King Liang, sighed. The tone said.
"Let me tell you, the third brother is nothing. The emperor's brother is weak, and he, the younger brother, takes advantage of others' danger to get involved with the concubines in the palace. It's so shameless."
King Liang said with a sneer: "Men are lecherous, which is not a big problem in the first place. Everyone loves beauty, but... the rabbit doesn't even eat the grass beside its nest. He even dares to touch the emperor's brother's woman." , I don’t take the emperor’s brother seriously at all, Jian Shou is just a beast!”
"Brother Imperial is so pitiful. He is already weak and yet he is bullied by his own brother. He is such a useless king as the king of the country..."
