She once thought that Wei Yanzhou also hated her.
Because the way to destroy Cheng Ning is to break her hands and feet and make her lose her pride, and she will die little by little.
Wei Yanzhou should be very aware of this method.
But Cheng Ning seemed to be wrong.
She always thought that Wei Yanzhou was just using her as a pawn to contain him. One day, when he wanted to completely dispose of the Cheng family, he would not even let her go.
But she forgot to think about why Wei Yanzhou was so roundabout?
If the truth is that his birth was caused by the Supreme Emperor and Cheng Fengxu, then he should have decisively killed his father.
Once the royal secrets are exposed, confusion and accusations are inevitable.
He didn't deal with his father and gave her the opportunity to let his sister-in-law go, but he didn't say a word to her.
Cheng Ning thought about it and could only think of one reason - he didn't want her to know.
I don’t want Cheng Ning to fall into a dilemma.
So he would say to Cheng Ning: "Then just hate it."
Cheng Ning would rather hate him than tell her this terrible fact.
It was because she was afraid that she would have trouble making a choice.
How could someone be so ruthless and take so much trouble to protect her family's expectations?
It seemed that she was sure that Cheng Fengxu wouldn't tell her anything even if she saw him.
Because this was a matter of honor and disgrace to the Cheng family, Cheng Fengxu would not say anything until his death.
Wei Yanzhou didn't intend to say either.
"I feel very uncomfortable," Cheng Ning covered her heart: "It feels very uncomfortable here."
At the gate of the prison, it was true that I was out of breath, because Cheng Fengxu's reaction was like a stone weighing a thousand pounds.
Equivalent to recognition.
Wei Yanzhou suddenly panicked and called Meng Xin: "She has a heartache."
Meng Xin had looked at Cheng Ning repeatedly, and she understood that this was not really heartache, but that Cheng Ning was suppressed by some kind of emotion.
Seeing him so nervous, Cheng Ning was even more convinced of his own thoughts.
Perhaps as early as when he was young, when Wei Yanzhou was still calling her Sister Ning, he was not just treating her as a sister.
It's just that she is slow and has always thought for so many years that this is a simple relationship between brother and sister.
How could she be so naive?
"I gave the queen some sedative medicine. It will take a while for it to take effect."
Cheng Ning was pregnant, so she had to be careful when taking medicine, and she didn't dare to take too much medicine.
So all we can do is wait.
There was silence in the hall. After Cheng Ning shouted something uncomfortable, he didn't speak anymore and just stared at Wei Yanzhou closely.
Wei Yanzhou's hand moved down her chest with a gentle expression.
Ouyang Xi looked at it for a long time and then retreated.
It was past midnight, and there was a hint of blue in the distance of the palace wall. It was almost dawn.
"Your Majesty," Xiao Tao held Ouyang Xi's hand and said angrily, "Your Majesty didn't even say a word to greet your Majesty. It's a pity that Your Majesty came to stay with you for half the night."
She couldn't understand how it was possible to invite His Majesty back from Xie's Mansion with just a sudden abdominal pain.
In His Majesty's eyes, there is no one else except Concubine Xi.
Then when will her mother-in-law be able to get ahead in this palace?
Ouyang Xi shook his head gently: "Did you see His Majesty's expression just now? There is no room for a third person between them."
She is not as naive as Xie Nianyao, and she is not as stupid as Xie Qingyi. She cannot see the emperor's heart clearly, and she will play to death sooner or later.
"But -" Xiao Tao whispered: "His Majesty obviously has a special regard for you. Apart from Linhua Palace, the place where Your Majesty visits the most is Liyue Palace."
This is true.
But Ouyang Xi guessed that Wei Yanzhou just knew that she knew the general situation and would not bother her too much or try to gain power.
Staying in a corner is the safest for the harem.
Besides, does Cheng Ning really have a stomachache tonight?
She had read many medical books these days, but she had never seen such strange symptoms as Cheng Ning.
Moreover, Meng Xin was not the most qualified medical officer in the hospital, so why did he not rely on others to handle Cheng Ning's affairs?
"Xiao Tao, do you remember that Concubine Xi also felt unwell at the hunting ground?"
"I remember, he said his arm was injured."
Xiao Tao was curious: "Why did the empress suddenly mention this?"
"At that time, other doctors looked at the injuries, and I have seen them before." Ouyang Xi said, "But then Meng Xin went there, and she took care of everything after that."
"Medical Officer Meng and Concubine Xi have been friends since childhood. Is that normal?"
No, not normal.
Ouyang Xi's intuition told her that something was wrong, but the concubine's diagnosis and treatment records were secret and she had no access to them.
But she had a bold guess.
"Xiao Tao, what does a woman look like when she's pregnant?"
Xiao Tao was stunned on the spot and opened her eyes wide: "Is your Majesty saying...??"
No way?
"No, no, no, it's impossible?!" Xiao Tao's teeth were chattering: "Isn't Concubine Xi taking Bizi Decoction——"
"Shh, don't tell anyone!" Ouyang Xi frowned coldly.
She was just guessing, because according to Wei Yanzhou's affection for Cheng Ning, he shouldn't be willing to use the avoidance soup on Cheng Ning.
If Bizi Tang is not Bizi Soup, then——
Then Cheng Ning might be pregnant.
What kind of emotion is it that Wei Yanzhou actually hid Cheng Ning's pregnancy?
Everyone said that the Cheng family would be destroyed, and Cheng Ning would end badly.
She didn't think so. Even if the Cheng family rebelled, Wei Yanzhou would lock Cheng Ning by his side.
He didn't want to take revenge on Cheng Ning, he was deeply affectionate.
The most noble emperor in the world only loves one person...
Ouyang Xi walked with a wry smile: "It's really enviable."
How could Xiao Tao not understand what Ouyang Xi was thinking: "Your Majesty..."
Inside Linhua Palace.
Perhaps because the medicine was taking effect, Cheng Ning gradually fell asleep.
Until she fell asleep, Wei Yanzhou's palm never stopped touching her heart.
Cheng Ning's hair on her forehead was wet with sweat and stuck together. He raised his hand to brush it away for her and kissed her.
Chunhua kept watching.
After everyone fell asleep completely, Meng Xin came to check his pulse again.
"Your Majesty, it's nothing serious. Just let the queen take good care of her."
She added the word "take good care of yourself".
If it fluctuates again, there is no guarantee that she can avoid it without any danger.
Chunhua didn't know why, and breathed a sigh of relief on the side: "It's okay, it's okay."
But Wei Yanzhou obviously didn't intend to let him go so easily.
He went out first: "All the people in Linhua Palace are summoned!"
With her heart pounding, Chunhua looked at Meng Xin helplessly.
But there was nothing Meng Xin could do. There must be a reason for Cheng Ning's sudden mood swings.
With Wei Yanzhou's temperament, it was impossible for him to just give up.
Linhua Palace was full of people, all kneeling in the courtyard. Some of them were timid, and they were scared to tears.
"Say! Who said anything in front of your mother?!"
Wei Yanzhou stood in the corridor, a short blade in his hand, and a sharp light flashed past.
Normally just listening to his footsteps would frighten me so much that I wouldn't dare to look up.
What's more, he now looks like he's determined to get to the bottom of it.
When he yelled like this, the palace maid who had just secretly wiped away her tears burst into tears, sobbing.
"Why are you crying?!" Wei Yanzhou shouted sternly.
"No, no!" The palace maid kept kowtowing on the ground: "We didn't! Please investigate your Majesty strictly and forgive me!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, your Majesty only said that you would go to bed early, and the servants really didn't dare to disturb you!" Chunhua boldly defended: "Really not."
It is impossible for Wei Yanzhou to believe that nothing happened to Cheng Ning.
Cheng Ning is not a person who is prone to mood swings.
When the army pressed on the territory, she could remain calm.
"Search!" Wei Yanzhou's voice was as cold and stern as a knife hanging over everyone's heads: "Anyone suspicious will be killed without mercy!
