Chapter 202 Su Peisheng (31)
Yixiu was not a person who could tolerate children, and her vision was not very broad. The reason why Hongzao, who could tolerate Jingfei, was still alive and well was because she was not completely stupid.
She knew that if the emperor, who was nearly sixty years old, had no children, the couple might really be on the verge of stepping down. That was why she had to bear it and let Hong Zao survive.
Besides, the emperor has been busy dating the women of the Zhen family in recent years and has not paid much attention to his children.
At most, he just asked Su Peisheng to give more gifts, but he himself had not visited Hong Zao many times. Judging from the emperor's expression, he was looking forward to Yun Xinluo giving him a son before, but now he probably hopes for Zhen Yurao.
Therefore, in the past few years, Yixiu only focused on the Zhongcui Palace and added a lot of ingredients to Yun Xinluo's food, clothing and housing. Now, the palace is still the same palace, but the people have changed.
She was jealous of the women of the Zhen family for being favored by the emperor, but she also felt that this would make her abortion business easier.
After all, now we just need to focus on Zhongcui Palace.
But who would have thought that Huipin suddenly changed her temper and went to the Yangxin Palace to seek favor. Her visit successfully made the emperor "break his rules" again.
This breaking of the rules is a serious matter. How long has it been since anyone in the palace got pregnant?
It just so happens that only two came out this year!
The queen felt that having Hongzao as a mascot was enough, and she could no longer tolerate the emperor having other children born.
But if the fetuses are aborted at once, the noise will inevitably be a bit loud. Abortions have a sequence, so it's better to put them in order.
Originally, Yixiu was still struggling with who to choose as the first lucky person. Shen Meizhuang certainly had a good family background. But An Lingrong already had a son, and she didn't want to keep the children of either of them. Just as she was struggling with this, Su Peisheng's gift immediately made Yixiu's mind firm.
Does the Emperor really attach so much importance to Huipin's pregnancy?
Then it’s her!
The queen had her own methods and her abortion skills were very advanced. Her methods of harming people were varied, endless and dazzling. Her most common method was to give people musk to cause miscarriage.
But Shen Meizhuang has a man named Wen Shichu who treats her palace as his own home. He goes there every day, every ten days, every month! This method doesn't work!
Yixiu asked Gualiu to use the same trick again, and took the pebbles under Xinbaji's favorite dwarf pine to try to make her fall and thus get frightened and miscarry. However, since Shen Meizhuang became pregnant with her beloved's child, she was extremely concerned about the child and would not let the sedan chair be carried, but would walk on her own. This method failed again!
There was no other way, so the Queen came up with the idea of bribing the palace maids around Shen Meizhuang, and letting the bribed spies feed Shen Meizhuang medicine.
Yixiu thought it was not difficult. Because Shen Meizhuang, that extremely stupid thing, had once withheld the palace maids' mung bean soup. She just didn't believe that the servants would be loyal to such a person.
It was not difficult at first, as Yixiu had indeed bribed a few people in Shen Meizhuang's palace. But Shen Meizhuang's food was entirely the responsibility of her own dowry, Caiyue and Caixing, and no one else had any say in it. This plan failed again.
Yixiu devoted herself to a battle of wits and courage with Shen Meiyu. Yixiu tried desperately to have an abortion, but Shen Meiyu and Zhen Huan, who already knew that she was not a good person, were on high alert.
Until the birth, Yixiu had not succeeded. Su Peisheng sighed for Yixiu. Where did the Yixiu who could put musk in the toilet go? How come she could not hurt Shen Meizhuang at all this time?
Yixiu is becoming increasingly useless.
But despite his sighs, Su Peisheng still attacked without mercy. At the critical moment, we still have to rely on our family!
On the day of Huipin's delivery, Su Peisheng and the emperor waited anxiously outside the delivery room. What he waited for was Huipin, who was pale and had barely escaped death. The baby she had given birth to with great effort was in exactly the same condition as the child given birth to by Empress Chunyuan, with a dead fetus covered in bruises.
The midwife almost cried when she saw the child - they delivered such a thing, would the emperor kill them?
The midwife tremblingly carried the baby out in a blanket. Su Peisheng went to receive it personally. He first scolded the midwives for their sad and unlucky faces, then opened the blanket and displayed his masterpiece in front of Fat Ju in the clearest possible perspective.
He also took a look inside. He opened his mouth to congratulate the emperor at first, but when he realized what he saw, he reacted quickly. He knelt before the emperor with a look of horror and realization of his mistake, not daring to breathe, waiting for his decision.
When Fat Ju saw the child, he almost thought he was back in the palace, as if he was on the day when Chun Yuan gave birth to her child.
He was shocked. Was this a punishment from heaven?
Yixiu, who was waiting here with Shen Meizhuang for her birth, was also shocked. It was true that she had arranged for the midwife to kill two people, but she didn't plan for this kind of death!
Who did it?
This child is exactly the same as the one her elder sister gave birth to. Isn't Qing waiting for people to doubt that Chun Yuan's death was not an accident?
What would the emperor think? Would he suspect me?
Even if the emperor would not suspect you, Su Peisheng would guide him to discover the wrongness of this child!
What's more, the queen's opponent standing here is not just Su Peisheng.
The emperor was furious and first issued a gag order, saying that Huipin gave birth to a stillborn baby and hoped to conceal the cause of death. But how could Zhen Huan do what he wanted?
During the months when Shen Meizhuang was pregnant, they had fought with the Queen many times. Although it was a bit tiring, they had at least stopped the Queen's fierce attacks.
Who knows whether they failed to stop him or let the vicious Queen succeed!
Shen Meizhuang lay dying inside and was unable to seek justice for herself, but it didn’t matter, her good sister Zhen Huan was still outside!
She intercepted the emperor's attempt to cover up the child's appearance and make a big deal out of a small matter, and bravely stood up to expose the queen.
"Your Majesty, the reason why Sister Mei's child became like this was a man-made disaster, not a punishment from heaven! I beg Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation of the harem and seek justice for Sister Mei and this child!" Zhen Huan first told her own guess, then knelt down and asked the Emperor to make the decision for them.
Seeing the emperor's hesitation, Xinbaji also came out to add fuel to the fire, saying that she heard that the Queen Chunyuan was also like this. Once was a coincidence, an accident, but twice? This child must have been harmed!
The one who suffered this cruel attack was Wen Shichu's own child! How could he not speak up for this child?
