Chapter 172 Asking for blessings
The beauty Yue said softly with bitterness on her lips: "It's not as simple as you think. I can enter this palace because of the emperor's favor...
That is simply because my father and grandfather both served the emperor attentively, and the emperor is kind and remembers their contributions.
Although my father and grandfather did not hold very high official ranks, they were of clean character, did not form cliques for personal gain, and did not have interests that others would value.
It’s just that it’s not like other prominent families that have complicated relationships behind them.”
As Yue Meiren spoke, a look of worry appeared on her face. What she didn't say was that even so, she still couldn't escape the calculations and even control of some people.
Seeing her beloved lady so sad, the trusted maid started crying anxiously, "What should we do? That person is so cruel. In order to make you obedient, he not only controlled your mother and brother, but also did this to you..."
Hearing the words of her trusted palace maid, Yue Meiren gently wiped the tears from her cheeks with a handkerchief, and a look of determination flashed in her eyes.
He cheered up and said, "Zishan, go and ask Xiao Zhangzi to think of a way to send a message to His Royal Highness King Qing. Just say it, just say it..."
Lady Yue thought for a while before coming up with a story that would make King Qing anxious to find someone, but also make King Qing unable to investigate and find anything about her. "Just say that Concubine Ning was injured..."
Fortunately, after entering the palace, she often asked Zishan to win over those inconspicuous people.
At present, at least I am not at a loss and offending others.
"But, what if Prince Qing doesn't care about Concubine Ning?" Zishan quickly expressed her concerns.
Yue Meiren bit her lip and said, "If this is true, then this is her fate..."
But she believed that King Qing was the patron saint of Da Chu, and even if he heard that weak women and children were in danger, King Qing would not stand idly by.
Not to mention his woman...
But Zishan said, "But we don't know where King Qing is now. What if we can't find King Qing?"
Yue Meiren's breath tightened, "Yes, I didn't think of this."
Seeing that she was so anxious that she kept pinching her hands, and beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, Zishan hurriedly said, "How about I think of a way to stop Concubine Ning?"
After saying that, she rejected it herself, "No, no, since that person is plotting against Concubine Ning, he must have had someone keep an eye on her.
If we do this, that person will definitely find out that we ruined her business, and the lady and the young master will be in danger..."
Lady Yue saw that Zishan was almost crying with anxiety, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it, just ask Xiao Zhangzi to find a way to send the news to Concubine Hui's palace.
Let Concubine Hui think of a solution. During this period, Concubine Ning... just wish her the best."
"But……"
"Don't say but, go quickly..."
Yue Meiren urged.
Zishan actually wanted to say that whether it was from their place or from Xiao Zhangzi's place to Concubine Hui's palace, the distance was too far.
I’m afraid it will be too late.
But thinking about it, there was no other way at the moment, so she agreed and was about to leave when she heard Yue Meiren hurriedly say, "Tell Xiao Zhangzi to be careful and don't let anyone suspect us..."
After Zishan left, Yue Meiren leaned back as if all her strength had been drained away, and closed her eyes in pain.
She has no one to rely on in this palace and cannot afford to offend anyone, so she can only be careful in everything.
in case……
There is no if, everything is out of her control...

Here, the Emperor of Chu did not get on the sedan chair after leaving the Xincui Palace, but walked slowly along the palace road.
Yan Qingning followed Emperor Chu at a distance of two steps.
Bunian, Chen Dezhong and others followed far behind.
The group seemed quite large.
After they left the harem, the Emperor of Chu spoke calmly, "Finish what you haven't said yet."
Yan Qingning's expression suddenly straightened up, and she said concisely, "Yes, Lady Yue is one month pregnant. In addition, she is also poisoned, and there are two kinds of poisons!"
Emperor Chu paused, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, "Two?"
Even though Yan Qingning knew that things were not simple, she couldn't keep a low profile now!
Not only can she not keep a low profile, but she must also prove her medical skills.
"Yes, Miss Yue was poisoned by two kinds of poison." Yan Qingning repeated firmly.
Between the emperor and Chu Beiqing, she went against her own heart and tipped the scales towards Chu Beiqing.
The reason she gave herself was that it was entirely based on interests.
She is still in the same boat with Chu Beiqing. If she makes the emperor suspicious of Chu Beiqing, it will not be good for him, and she will also be in trouble.
The Emperor of Chu's eyes flickered slightly, but he kept walking. "Tell me, what kind of poison is it? Is it harmful to the heir to the throne?"
Yan Qingning looked calm, "The poison that Lady Yue was poisoned with is a bit complicated. It was originally a poison that is not fatal, but can play a controlling role. In simple terms, it is called Yueyuefu.
As the name suggests, you need to take the antidote every month to temporarily suppress the pain caused by the poison.
The other kind of poison was actually not poisonous, but for some reason, Yue Meiren took the forced pregnancy-promoting drug after taking the contraceptive drug.
The two kinds of contraceptive and pregnancy-promoting drugs are combined together and produce poison due to mutual repulsion, so we can only say that Yue Meiren's life is temporarily safe.
But no matter whether the poison in Lady Yue can be cured or not, this heir to the throne..."
Yan Qingning paused, hesitating whether to tell the truth or not.
She knew very well that no matter she said it or not, the Emperor of Chu would not just believe what she said, and might even ask his trusted imperial physician to diagnose Concubine Yue.
The Emperor of Chu would also know about Yue Meiren's fetal condition.
She even boldly thought that perhaps the Emperor of Chu deliberately used Concubine Yue to test her medical skills.
Perhaps, all this is due to the emperor's suspicion!
The King of Chu stopped in his tracks, his eyes stern, "Tell me directly, how is the heir to the throne?"
Yan Qingning couldn't tell what the Emperor of Chu was feeling, so she didn't have time to think about it. "Yes, this heir will only survive in Lady Yue's belly for five months at most..."
In a flash, the Emperor of Chu's eyes became dark and unpredictable for a moment, then his expression returned to normal and he continued to walk slowly forward.
His eyes, which were marked by the traces of time, looked at the glazed tiles in the distance for a moment, and he said casually, as if out of curiosity or casual conversation, "Empress Hui said that you learned medical skills from a wandering Taoist woman. Now that you can diagnose poison by pulse, I believe your Taoist master's medical skills are even better.
It also shows that you have studied hard with your master. I wonder where that female Taoist master is now?"
Yan Qingning was surprised that the emperor changed the subject so quickly, or maybe he had something in mind?
This heir to the throne has nothing to do with her, so Yan Qingning naturally wouldn't meddle in other people's business. She smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, this question stumps Qingning. Master doesn't like fame or gain.
I only believe that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, so when she said she wanted to diagnose diseases all over the world, Qing Ning hadn't seen her master for a long time. "
