Tian Xing was prepared for Cheng Ning to rebuke, ask questions, or even jump in the trap.
Because as far as Tian Xing knew, she should be one of no more than five people in the palace who knew that Cheng Ning was pregnant.
But Cheng Ning didn't make any move.
She was still sitting in the chair, and there was nothing in her expression, as if she was slightly in a trance.
After a long time, Tian Xing heard Cheng Ning ask hoarsely: "Aside from you, does anyone else know?"
She looked so calm...as calm as if she already knew about this.
Tianxing shook her head. She didn't dare to offend Cheng Ning at this time. She couldn't see through Cheng Ning's thoughts. This person was too complicated.
"My servant only guessed it from various signs in the palace recently, and never mentioned it to the second person."
Someone finally said this in front of her, but it turned out to be Tianxing.
Cheng Ning felt ridiculous and wanted to smile bitterly: "Even if His Majesty has a strange mood change, you shouldn't have guessed it."
"If I hadn't brought the residue of the 'Bizitang' with me and asked someone to check it outside the palace, I really wouldn't have guessed it."
It’s no wonder that he avoids Zi Tang.
.....should too.
Cheng Ning confirmed that she was pregnant the night before yesterday, when Wei Yanzhou restrained himself from taking the last step.
At first, she was just curious about all the abnormalities in her body, but she never thought about pregnancy.
Because the Cheng family is in the front and Baizitang is in the back.
Cheng Ning felt that even if Wei Yanzhou didn't hate her, he wouldn't allow her to give birth to a child.
Otherwise, what should the Cheng family do in the middle?
Since he couldn't let it go, he wouldn't give Cheng Ning a chance to save the Cheng family.
That's right.
But her menstrual period was delayed, and she didn't smell many herbs that replenished qi and blood in the medicine Meng Xin prescribed.
Instead, it tastes bitter and unspeakable.
Even though Cheng Ning doesn't have medical skills or pharmacology, she is still a woman.
Once you start to have doubts, clues will leak out from everything around you.
For example, Wei Yanzhou's attitude suddenly became cautious, even taking care of her food and daily life.
Another example is when she was in the hunting ground, she felt lethargic and nauseous for no reason.
Also, it was clear that Wei Yanzhou was angry before going to bed that day, but his attitude suddenly changed after he woke up.
Why is it that no matter what Linhua Palace did wrong, Wei Yanzhou's temper has never been better?
Having doubts, Cheng Ning couldn't help but want to verify it.
She was trying to hide herself in an obscure way, just like usual.
In the smallest details, food and utensils, whether intentional or not, everything in Linhua Palace is extremely meticulous.
...even more detailed than before.
She shouldn't have noticed it, but Cheng Ning just didn't care about these small things in the past, which didn't mean she couldn't see it.
In particular, Wei Yanzhou refused to stay with her again and again. He used to be arrogant and turned a blind eye to Cheng Ning's wishes.
A person who is so domineering in bed can now stop by himself without having to tell Cheng Ning to stop.
She couldn't think of anything that could make him like this.
It was also intentional to go to Chuxiu Palace with a round fan. Body heat was one thing, but seeing Wei Yanzhou's reaction was another.
It was just as she imagined, Wei Yanzhou was in charge of heaven and earth, and was afraid that she would catch cold, so he had to control even ordinary actions.
But Cheng Ning never thought that there would be problems with Bizitang.
She thought that Wang Xi had accidentally missed the soup one time.
He is Wei Yanzhou's close confidant and has a lot of things to deal with. If he really misses something, Cheng Ning won't be able to find it.
After all, she didn't really care about this matter, so she just drank it.
Now it seems...even Bizitang hid Wei Yanzhou's affair from the beginning.
No wonder, who can't do internal affairs, how can he have to do everything at the hands of Wang Xi, the chief internal affairs manager.
Cheng Ning originally thought that Wei Yanzhou was afraid that she would take advantage of the situation, so he wanted to take action himself.
It turns out it's just the opposite.
This made Cheng Ning even more uncomfortable than knowing that there was an extra child in her belly.
She suddenly clutched her lower abdomen and bent over in a painful movement, almost pressing her upper body against her legs.
Tian Xing was startled: "Empress! What's wrong with you?"
Cheng Ning couldn't even say the word "uncomfortable", she just lay on her lap with a very ugly expression.
"Don't scare me!" Tian Xing hurriedly stood up to help Cheng Ning, while she was distracted and wanted to call someone: "Come on -"
"Don't scream!" Cheng Ning grabbed her tightly with a fierce expression.
No one in Linhua Palace knew she was pregnant, not even Chunhua.
She has a simple mind. To prevent the news from leaking out, it is best for no one to know.
Wei Yanzhou kept this secret from her, perhaps because he was afraid that she would not be willing to give birth to a child after knowing it. After all, Cheng Ning had said she hated him more than once.
The second is that she is only a month old. If the Xie sisters knew about it, they would definitely try their best to prevent the child from being saved.
It can be seen from the frequent visits of Meng Xin and the continuous use of anti-fetal medicine that her fetus is unstable.
"About Zitang...does anyone in the palace know about it?"
"No, no!" Tian Xing knew how serious this matter was. Under the circumstances, how could she dare to let the second person know.
"When I was a kid, the house next door was a medicine hall. I once smelled the taste of Bizi Soup. It was completely different from what the prince gave you to drink. That's when I became suspicious. But that day, I recited something in front of the Queen. I wonder if she would know it. Listen to your heart?"
Xie Nianyao doesn't have this brain.
If it was Xie Qingyi who was in front of him, then this matter would have to be discussed separately.
Cheng Ning calmed down a little, let Tian Xing help her lean back in the chair, and asked softly: "So is it because of this that you decided to submit to me?"
"My servant dare not hide it, yes." Tian Xing's young eyes were bright: "I used to think that His Majesty doted on the Queen, but now I know that he is actually the most ruthless towards the Xie family."
After experiencing everything in this palace, if Tian Xingruo still doesn't understand the situation, then one day she won't know how she died.
With her back against a big tree, she could enjoy the shade. At least the emperor really cared about Concubine Xi.
After the children are born, she will be the only favorite concubine in the harem!
Cheng Ning said that she would not be a queen, but Tian Xing felt that the emperor might not have this intention.
"But he doesn't necessarily care about the Cheng family. You only see that he seems to be quite protective of me. That's because I grew up with him."
Cheng Ning didn't know whether to convince Tian Xing or herself.
Before Tian Xing could speak, she added, "The entire Cheng family is still in prison. Do you really think I can survive alone?"
Tian Xing knew what Cheng Ning was like.
But she actually wanted to refute, to say that the emperor's affection for her was more than just the past.
Otherwise, why bother hiding her pregnancy?
The same goes for the Cheng family. If it weren't for Cheng Ning, how could they still be placed in jail for such a big crime as conspiracy?
"Empress, why are you so sure that Your Majesty will not let the Cheng family go?"
Because I know what happened back then.
How can a person who was born because of exploitation and calculations be let go when he meets the culprit?
It's also strange that through a completely unrelated little girl, Cheng Ning could rarely say something that she couldn't say to anyone in the past.
Her voice was soft: "I will force him to do it."
