742, obsession
This is the expectation that the queen had high hopes. She had been waiting for for several months. The prince, who was eagerly waiting for, had her hair turned white. She endured Li Jieyu's favoritism, endured the sarcasm of the concubines in the palace, and endured the emperor's partial listen and belief. Everything was just for a prince. As long as she had a prince, these were nothing, she could tolerate it. But now the prince was gone, and all her patience and efforts turned into a joke. How could the queen stand such a blow?
"It's already seven months. If you hold on for another ten days and half a month, you might be able to survive..."
In the past seven months, the queen has asked Li Jiexian in every detail, and she would drink and eat, for fear that the palace people would be negligent and delay Li Jiexian's carelessness.
Seeing the emperor sending the reward like flowing water into Xihuaxuan, the queen was not angry at all, and even felt happy. Now the emperor loves Concubine Li Jie, the more he will love that child in the future.
Xu Shu remained silent. Even though the child was born with barely living, he was born with weak symptoms and had not been born for full term. How could he be a long-lasting life? But the queen was already possessed and could not listen to others' words. She devoted all her thoughts to the child in Li Jieyu's belly.
"For the past seven months, I have been looking forward to it day and night. I have pinched my fingers to calculate when this child was born, and gave him one name after another, but now it is not available..." The queen closed her eyes. She had never been so concerned about her when she was pregnant. That was the hope she could never give birth to her own child. Now this hope is gone...
"I asked the imperial physician, but there was a way to protect the fetus. The imperial physician was helpless... It has been the imperial physician who has done its best. In two days, the child will be..." The queen shook her head and could no longer say.
Then she looked at Xu Shu with hope, "Do you have any way to let Concubine Li give birth to a prince safely? You must have a way?" She had been the queen for more than ten years and had nowhere to come out of her knees. She had known Xu Shu so that she could give birth to a princess. Later, it was the prince that Xu Shu had let her be pregnant. Now she can only count on Xu Shu.
"My daughter is incompetent..." Xu Shu knelt on the ground and knocked for a long time. She was indeed powerless. After the queen increased the dose of the medicine, the emperor had already been damaged by the medicine. Therefore, the queen's child was not born, and Li Jieyu could not give birth. No matter which concubine was pregnant, she could not give birth. Queen Mother Fu was really cruel enough to get rid of it.
"Is there really no way?" The fire in the queen's eyes flashed, and it became a little dark.
Xu Shu shook her head.
"Is it because I am destined to have no children?" Her own child cannot be preserved, and she cannot even adopt a concubine's child.
The queen wiped her eyes lightly, and it was indeed wet. She didn't know when she was already in tears.
"Empress..." Xu Shu called out softly, "Empress and Your Highness the Princess!" Even after the queen was pregnant with the prince, the queen no longer cared about the princess as she used to.
"Princess... what's the use of a prince?" The queen shook her head and smiled bitterly. In the palace, with a prince, the princess was the icing on the cake. Without a prince, she felt lost when she saw the princess. "How can the princess compete with the princess? When the princess was one year old, the emperor never issued an order to hold a banquet to celebrate the princess. Last year, when the princess celebrated, the emperor stopped court and took him to the palace to celebrate. In the eyes of the emperor, the princess, who was his only son, even if he was not good, there was no position for the princess..." The person who had caused her miscarriage was still named King Qing, just because of his only prince of the emperor. The queen gritted her teeth in anger, and her eyes burst into anger that could not be ignored.
After all, what the queen wants is not a child, but a prince with the chance to win the position of crown prince. What she wants is a prince who can maintain her status and even make her status further.
Human hearts are always insufficient. At first, the queen only wants a child. No matter whether it is a man or a woman, as long as she has a child, she will taste the taste of being a mother. When the queen gave birth to a princess as she wished, she began to want more. She began to want a prince, a prince who could consolidate her status. However, when she repeatedly asked for it but couldn't get it, this idea became increasingly unwilling to give up, almost becoming an obsession, and she would never give up until she achieved it.
"I must have a prince, no matter who gave birth to it!" The queen gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, as if she had made a decision.
It seems that the queen has decided to give up on Meiren Li. Now that Meiren Li is in her womb, she is useless to the queen, so the queen naturally has to find another goal to achieve her goal.
"Your incense is very useful. I only used it for Concubine Li Jiedu a few times, and she was diagnosed with a happy pulse! Give me some more. There are more concubines in the palace than Concubine Li Jiedu!"
The queen actually provided the incense to the concubines in the harem on a large scale, which would only accelerate the loss of the current emperor's physical strength and accelerate the replacement of imperial power. Xu Shu was not sure whether Zhou Jin was ready.
"Empress, my daughter once said that the fragrance is the fragrance of medicine. Although it can help the Empress get what she wants, it should not be used too much, otherwise it will not harm the health of the fetus, and it will also harm..."
The queen interrupted Xu Shu, "I know, I remember every word you said! But I believe that there is always one who can give birth to a healthy prince with so many concubines!" As for the emperor's physical condition, it is no longer within the Queen's consideration.
Seeing Xu Shu showing a little hesitation on his face, the queen took Xu Shu's hand to comfort her, "As long as there is a prince under my knees, the Zheng family will be the first family that Dayin cannot shake from now on. As the legitimate daughter of the Zheng family, you will have the glory that everyone envies!"
"The Empress has made up her mind, so I can only do my best to help the Empress!" Xu Shu sighed. It would be fine if she did not have much time left.
"It's not about doing your best, you have to do your best! At all costs, you must also have a prince in this palace!" The queen grabbed Xu Shu's arm, her eyes red, with crazy desire and suppressed patience.
"..." After a long time, Xu Shu lowered her head and responded, "Yes!" All she could do was make some incense for the queen, but the medicine given by Queen Mother Fu was gone, so she had to go to find Queen Mother Fu again.
The queen was finally satisfied, "Don't worry, I promised that you will always do your business, and you will become a woman that everyone in the capital envies!"
