The air in Fuqing Palace suddenly became stagnant.
Zheng Ji was surprised at first, and then couldn't help but smile lightly.
"Ah."
Things are really ridiculous and funny. Both mother and concubine would think there is something abnormal about this baby?
Is it because the mother-in-law has not been pregnant for more than ten years? Or what?
Hearing this chuckle, Zheng Chuan blushed and said hurriedly: "Sister Jiuhuang, I'm not talking nonsense, I...I really have a reason!"
"So, tell me, why do you say that?" Zheng Ji then asked.
Feng Ju starts from the behavior of the mother-in-law and the Jiang family, and combines the clues in the palace to judge that there is something wrong with the fetus in the mother-in-law's belly.
So, what about Zheng Chuan?
Why would Zheng Chuan, a little girl who has not yet had hair extensions, say this?
"I... I was looking through the notes left by my mother, and... I accidentally overheard a conspiracy between the palace maid and the chamberlain, so..." Zheng Chuan spoke intermittently, but at least he got the words out.
Zheng Ji was still thinking, but Concubine Jiang opened her lips and said, "Your mother? If I remember correctly, your mother Hu Meiren... knows something about medicine?"
"Back to the imperial concubine, that's right. My grandfather was a doctor, so my mother also knew some medical skills and left a notebook."
Hu Meiren was originally a concubine in the royal palace. Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, she became a beauty.
Logically speaking, Hu Meiren is not qualified to raise children due to her status. However, the emperor has just ascended the throne and the etiquette is not complete. Who would bother with such a trivial matter?
Therefore, Zheng Chuan has been growing up next to Hu Meiren.
After Hu Meiren died of illness, Zheng Chuan never moved to another palace.
Zheng Chuan's words are indeed tenable.
What made Concubine Jiang curious was what exactly was recorded in the notes left by Hu Meiren that made Zheng Chuan, a little girl, make such a judgment?
"In the concubine's notes, it was mentioned that a pill... after being taken, will cause a non-pregnant person to appear... with signs of pregnancy." Zheng Chuanqiang replied calmly.
"That's all?" Concubine Jiang's expression remained unchanged, with a smile on her face.
I couldn't tell whether I believed it or not.
Zheng Chuan nodded heavily and said anxiously: "My dearest concubine, this is true. My mother saw such a situation with her own eyes when she was in the boudoir, and my grandfather also saw it."
"Well, I believe in you." Concubine Jiang said.
Such pills have appeared among the people, and there are many in the palace where the struggle is fierce. All kinds of secret medicines are emerging one after another.
Concubine Jiang has always heard of drugs that can cause false pregnancies, but she has never seen them with her own eyes.
only……
Concubine Jiang was about to say something when she heard Zheng Ji speak: "What you said was that the palace maid conspired with the chamberlain. What is going on?"
Zheng Ji cares more about this than the pill notes.
Thinking about it, this was the main reason why Zheng Chuan judged that the fetus in his mother's house was abnormal.
"..." Zheng Chuan opened his mouth and was silent for a long time before saying: "The Imperial Concubine, Sister Jiuhuang, I...I am not favored in the palace and have always lived in seclusion. That day Qingshuang and I went to the Cold Palace nearby……"
Her eyelashes were lowered, perhaps because she recalled something very bad, and even her body trembled slightly.
Concubine Jiang Guifei and Zheng Ji exchanged glances with each other, and listened quietly to Zheng Chuan's description without urging them.
Zheng Chuan likes peace and quiet, so the quiet area near Leng Palace is her favorite place to go.
But her presence in the palace is too low, so no one will notice her, and naturally they will not be wary of her.
It was precisely because of this that Zheng Chuan heard the conspiracy between the palace maid and the chamberlain near the Leng Palace.
According to her, she and the eldest palace maid Qingshuang happened to be sitting under a big camphor tree to hide and relax. The big camphor tree was big enough to block the figures of their master and servant.
Just when they were hiding, they heard a rustling sound.
She subconsciously stretched her head to take a look and saw
When a palace maid and chamberlain arrived, they immediately retracted their bodies.
Immediately, she heard the palace maid say in a low voice: "Master has ordered that the Zixiwan should be sent to Fuqing Palace as soon as possible."
The two of them spoke very quietly, but because the area was so quiet, Zheng Chuan heard them clearly.
"The Imperial Concubine, Sister Nine Emperors." Zheng Chuan said with difficulty, "Zixi Pill is the name of the pill mentioned in my mother's notebook."
She had always been interested in these anecdotes, and the name had already been engraved in her mind.
Yes, such a special name is usually not forgotten.
"Can you see the appearance of those two people?" Zheng Ji asked.
Zheng Chuan shook his head: "I...I didn't see it, and Qingshuang didn't see it either..."
At that time, she only glanced at them, and then she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe. She wished she could disappear on the spot. How could she see the faces of those two people?
It wasn't until after a long time that it was confirmed that the two people had really left, that she and Qing Shuang dared to stand up and hurriedly returned to their palace.
"Apart from looks, what about their clothes? What's so special about their clothes?" Zheng Ji asked again.
Zheng Chuan did not shake his head this time, but thought for a moment before saying, "That palace maid's clothes are apricot yellow."
From the angle of her sight, she could only see the skirt of the palace maid. The apricot color contrasted clearly with the green trees, so she remembered it.
But this is nothing special, right?
"Where are the patterns on the clothes? Have you seen them?" Zheng Ji continued to ask.
"I didn't see it. I didn't see anything else except apricot color."
Zheng Ji was silent. The apricot-yellow clothes... were too unrecognizable.
This is all because the maids serving concubines and above in the palace all wear apricot-yellow clothes, and what distinguishes them are different patterns.
If Zheng Chuan sees the pattern on the skirt, she can follow it to trace it.
Now, although it can't be said to be useless, it really... isn't of much use.
Concubine Jiang did not ask any further questions, but just sighed: "These things are such a coincidence!"
Two palace ladies and chamberlains dared to plot such a shocking secret inside the palace, and by chance, Zheng Chuan overheard it.
However, Zheng Chuan could not see the appearance of these two people or the patterns of their clothes.
There are too many people above concubine in the harem!
Zheng Chuan heard what Concubine Jiang was implying, and replied bravely: "Concubine Concubine, Sister Nine Emperors, everything I say is true. If there is even half a lie, I will be struck by thunder from the sky!"
What she really heard happened half a month ago.
She didn't dare to say anything to anyone. Apart from regretting why she went to the cold palace, she just kept praying that she might have heard wrong and secretly hoped that everything in the palace would be normal.
But she didn't expect that half a month later, she would hear that the imperial concubine was pregnant!
Zixi Pill, the palace maid's conspiracy, the imperial concubine is pregnant...
When these three factors are combined together, the direction is very obvious: she really heard it right, there may be something wrong with the fetus of the imperial concubine!
