Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 329 The Queen’s Choice

They were relatives, but not really close, after all, they were quite far apart. In this imperial city, if you look closely, who is not related to whom? It was just a trip because the Hesheli family was still a relative.

Therefore, the old princess did not speak much for Empress Hesheli in front of the Empress Dowager. She just casually mentioned during the meal: "I don't know when the Queen's illness will be cured?"

The Empress Dowager asked with a smile: "Did the Hesheli family come to see you?"

The old princess did not hide it and showed a helpless expression, "They have come to us for help, so we can't just ignore them. Besides, although the ladies in the palace are extremely noble, they are not legitimate after all. If this continues for a long time, it will not look good for His Majesty."

Although the old princess said she was helpless, it can be seen from her last sentence that she actually did not support leaving the queen aside and letting a group of concubines manage the palace affairs. However, this was ultimately a matter of the royal family, so she could not interfere.

Although the Empress Dowager smiled warmly, she refused firmly, "There is nothing we can do about it. Since Chenghu passed away, the Queen has been immersed in the pain of losing her son. After all, mother and son are connected by heart, and I can't blame the Queen too much for her dereliction of duty."

What else could the old princess say? The Empress Dowager was obviously unwilling to forgive the Queen. Judging from her attitude, it seemed that His Majesty meant the same thing.

Moreover, didn’t you hear what the Grand Empress Dowager said? The Queen was seriously ill because of the death of Prince Chenghu. It was because the Queen was immersed in grief and could not extricate herself. It was the Queen’s dereliction of duty.

The Empress Dowager did not care about the Empress's negligence, and the Empress and the Hesheli family should be grateful. Although everyone knows the truth, the master has made the final conclusion. Who dares to say that the Empress Dowager is targeting her grandson's wife and deliberately discrediting the Empress?

I don’t know what the Queen did to make the Empress Dowager so disgusted. Forget it, she decided not to get involved in this mess.

"The child is a piece of flesh that fell from my mother, so it's no wonder that the Queen acts like this." The old princess sighed, then dropped the subject and never mentioned it again, instead telling the Grand Empress Dowager about other interesting things.

Not to mention how many things Soetu and the old lady smashed after the news was passed back to the Hesheli family, just after Empress Hesheli found out, at least two sets of tea cups were replaced in the Kunning Palace.

The queen tightly grasped the handkerchief in one hand and touched her belly with the other. She was a little scared. Even if she really... could this child make her wish come true?

Is it really worth it to plot against the Emperor, incur the disgust of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and ruin your own life?

No, she couldn't think like that. Since she had chosen this path, she could only keep going. Even if she didn't have this child, His Majesty might not let her go. Even if she was alive, even if she wasn't deposed, she didn't want to be a queen who didn't live up to her name, like the Empress Dowager back then. It was too humiliating.

When Madam Zheng wanted to comfort the queen, she had already calmed down. "Since this trick doesn't work, forget it. I'll think of another way after I've calmed down."

Nanny Zheng was feeling uneasy. Although the Empress looked normal now, her face was so distorted like a demon just now, and she calmed down in an instant, which was even more frightening.

She had witnessed the Queen's state when she was crazy. The so-called "hysteria" was not an excuse. The Queen was really sick.

"Your Majesty, please relax. As long as we have the young master, we can always restore the glory of Kunning Palace."

The queen looked at Nanny Zheng with a dark look in her eyes, and then sneered. Nanny Zheng was indeed a good servant of the Hesheli family. Even at this time, she was still working hard for her master.

She had never believed the promises made by the Hesheli family. Hesheli knew very well that as long as she followed her family's arrangements and used despicable means to get pregnant with this child, the Emperor would never let her go.

Even the fact that she was still alive was somewhat unexpected to Hesheli. When the Emperor woke up and saw her that day, he clearly had the intention to kill her. When she cried and complained about Chenghu, his murderous intent became even stronger. There was no sign of mercy at all, but he did not kill her.

Hesheli knew that no matter what the Emperor's plan was, he would not show mercy to her.

She knew that this was a road that would lead to her death, and she also knew that the Hesheli family had completely given up on her, but she still wanted to squeeze out the last bit of her value. Maybe she was really crazy, she was afraid of death, she didn't want to die, but she calmly and soberly walked towards death.

Nanny Zheng felt uneasy when the Queen looked at her, fearing that she had noticed something, but when she looked again, the Queen had returned to normal.

Nanny Zheng didn't think she had seen it wrong. She thought to herself that she should keep a close eye on the person during this period of time. She couldn't let the queen ruin the master's plan at the last minute.

To Zheng Ma's surprise, the Queen had always been very well behaved, so well behaved that it even made Zheng Ma shudder.

But no matter how worried Nanny Zheng was, the days passed one by one, and soon the day came when the dust settled.

The imperial physician sent by Kangxi to treat the empress was taking the empress's pulse as usual that day, but soon his complexion changed and sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Nanny Zheng was very happy to see the change in the imperial physician. The empress had not had her period for two months. Based on her experience, it was a foregone conclusion that she was pregnant. But for some reason, the imperial physician who came to take her pulse every day said nothing.

Nanny Zheng once suspected that this person had been bribed and deliberately concealed the fact that the queen was pregnant. She wanted to make a fuss about it, but was stopped by the queen.

"I have been ill for so long, and my body is weak, so it is possible that my pulse is not strong. Besides, did you forget? We must not tell anyone about the pregnancy first. Otherwise, even if the child conceived with the secret medicine is a legitimate son, His Majesty may not take it seriously."

This one sentence directly blocked Nanny Zheng's words. It's not that she didn't understand what the Queen said, but what the Queen had done in the past was too much, and as a result, the Hesheli family was also disliked by the Emperor. If this matter failed, she was afraid that the family would never have a chance to turn things around.

She left her husband and children just to enter the palace to assist the empress, but right under her nose, the empress made a big mistake. How could Madam Zheng feel good about this!

Fortunately, the old lady and the head of the family are still willing to trust her and are willing to entrust such a big thing to her. Of course, she cannot let the old lady and the head of the family down again.

Madam Zheng pretended to be anxious and asked, "Doctor, the Madam's condition has worsened? What should we do?"

"No, your Majesty's condition is not getting worse, but, but..." The imperial physician hesitated, not daring to tell the truth.
