Chapter 173

The Empress Dowager nodded: "The Marquis's words make sense. The emperor's son is out of the palace and can't let the harem be held back."

After saying that, he turned to look at the person kneeling down: "What are the little thoughts between you? The Ai family knows very well. The Marquis saw with his own eyes, and there will be no falsehood. Concubine De has always been low-key and obedient in the palace, but he doesn't expect to be bullied by you. If this rule is not established, how can he distinguish the magnanimity in the harem? Come on, I will punish Duan Cairen with thirty boards and the remaining twenty, and I will be punished in the outer court."

"Yes!" The palace ladies responded and took action to take out the people one by one.

"Empress Dowager!" Tang frowned: "The concubine didn't do anything, she just passed by and watched. Do you want to be the same offense?"

In name, she is still a member of the Marquis of Conqueror. Can He Chang'an punish him?

After the empress dowager was a little unsure, she looked at He Chang'an and asked for his opinion.

He Chang'an lowered his eyes. If he had known that this person would be a constant product everywhere, he would not give it to the emperor. He would have two sides as a knife envoy, and one side might hurt Hua Chun.

"I should not interfere in the affairs of the harem." He bowed to the Queen Mother and whispered: "But some people are in the wrong, some are watching coldly. Since the position is the same, they should be punished together. This is my suggestion. As for what the Queen Mother should do, I dare not argue."

He said beautifully, and when he said this, the empress dowager would blame him for not punishing him! Tang gritted his teeth and glanced at He Chang'an hatefully. He didn't expect that this person would be so cruel. He would rather offend so many people just for a fancy person. Except for her, who has no background, other people's family background is not low!

Concubine Xu also felt resentful, but she knew that her arm could not twist her thighs, so she could only follow the palace servants in a quiet voice.

Hua Chun watched coldly, covering her stomach and watching them being held on benches. Because of the large number of people, it took a lot of effort to get a stool and a court stick. Then he heard howlings like a symphony.

Twenty court sticks, the force of beating people in the harem was not as strong as that of the previous dynasty, but these delicate women could not bear it. Hua Chun looked at him with a tsk and felt much more relieved. It would be better to have a hard background, and it would be that simple to get justice.

Concubine Wu stood beside her, covering her belly with her hands, and her expression was calm, as if the person hitting her head was not hers. As she looked at her voices from high to low, from full of energy to humming in a low voice, she smiled faintly: "This beating will cause the palace to calm down for a while."

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "You don't have to worry too much, just keep your body well."

"Yes." Concubine Wu nodded and looked at Hua Chun with a calm expression.

Hua Chun pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment, thinking whether to tell the Empress Dowager about being pregnant while He Chang'an is also there?

But then I thought about it, if the Empress Dowager knew about this time, she would definitely not let her out of the palace, and maybe she would also be kept in Huiming Palace. Wu Guipin is not a simple character, so she will definitely be in trouble.

Let’s talk about it after the emperor comes back. At that time, my belly was obvious enough and I couldn’t cover it up even if I wanted to.

So she continued to look at the execution process outside silently.

After the board was finished, several people fainted, not sure whether it was pretending or real. The palace people carried the people back one after another. The empress dowager looked at the Marquis of Concubine Gong and said, "The Marquis should take Concubine De out of the palace, right?"

"Yes." He Chang'an stood up and saluted: "Thank you, the Queen Mother."

"What's there to thank?" The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You have to take more responsibility for the affairs in the court during the time the Emperor left Beijing."

"I will definitely do my best to wait for the emperor to come back."

Nodded with satisfaction, the Empress Dowager waved her hand, and Hua Chun retreated with the Marquis of Congyu.

"Is there any problem with my body?" He Changan frowned and looked at her: "I fell so hard."

Hua Chun smiled and shook her head and said, "I haven't felt anything wrong yet. Let's leave the palace first."

Qingniao pushed the wooden wheelchair and Hua Chun sat comfortably out of the harem, and the carriage of the Yuhou Mansion was waiting at the door.

"Ruier has gone to pack her luggage. Let's go first, she will catch up."

Hua Chun nodded and followed him into the carriage, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

It should be safe to leave the harem?

"Sorry." He Changan said with some annoyance: "I should have gone to find you earlier, and you will suffer less."

A little stunned, Hua Chun smiled and said, "What's there to apologize for? No one is a prophet. If the emperor is not here, it is my blessing that my second brother can take care of me."

"I will take good care of you." He Changan said seriously.

Hua Chun smiled, then remembered and asked him: "Why does that Tang look a little weird? Isn't he the second brother's person?"

"No." He Changan frowned: "I sent her into the palace because I saw that she was unconscious and used it as a knife for the emperor. But I didn't expect that she would also have hatred for you."

When using a knife, Hua Chun was confused for a while, and a light flashed in his mind.

Not to mention, although Tang had a bad family background and had no background, he was good at being a human being. He had been in the palace for so long and had not officially become an enemy with anyone. He hid behind Concubine Shu like a fox. He instigated Concubine Shu to do a lot of things, and caused quite a stir. He was a qualified knife. Although he didn't know what the emperor said to her, at least Tang instigated Concubine Shu to clean up the idle people in the harem. The ones who offended the people were Concubine Shu and the Xu family, but the emperor escaped unscathed.

"Okay, it's okay to have some effect. Her hostility towards me... is just to follow the trend of the harem and it won't cause much damage." Hua Chun said: "I will be more careful in the future."

"Yes." He Changan nodded, returned to the Hou's Mansion, and first asked someone to check her and confirm that the fetus was fine, before contacting Wan to meet her mother and daughter.

This is a happy end, but the palace is filled with haze.

Xu Guipin lay on the bed and cried for a long time, gritting her teeth and said, "We have to ask her for this account!"

"How to ask?" Wu Guipin rolled his eyes unhappily: "I think you are all stupid, right? They are protected by the Marquis, and you still lean on the gun, so you won't choose a more implicit method?"

"What else can I think of now?" Xu Guipin said in a muffled voice: "I thought before she left the palace, we would recommend Duan Cairen to be a shield to test whether she was pregnant. If she had, she would lose it. Even if Duan Cairen committed the crime, she would bear all the blame alone. Who knew that the Marquis of Attacking Yu would suddenly appear and forget everyone in, and even Tang did not let him go."

"Hmph, what is Tang? He is just a chess piece. Can he compare to his own sister?" Concubine Wu sneered: "Be careful, you can't come out on the surface, and you won't go to the secret?"

Concubine Xu was stunned and looked up at her blankly: "Secretly?"

"Let's wait and see." Wu Guipin curled his lips: "You little fights are not as useful as this palace's attack."

If Concubine De really has this thing about pregnancy, it will be her life-saving talisman. No matter what mistakes it makes, it will not be punished to die. Similarly, it is also Concubine Wu's life-saving talisman. Concubine Wu is sure, but Concubine De is only suspected of being pregnant.

And whether you are pregnant depends on the timing.

There was a cold behind her for no reason, and Hua Chun turned around and looked into the yard.

"What's wrong?" Wan Shi held her hand and looked back with her: "Do you still want to continue walking?"

"No." Hua Chun lowered her eyes and said, "I just feel like I'm thinking about it."

Wan paused and immediately put on a worried expression: "You are now Empress De and are pregnant, how can you not be missed? Wei Niang is really worried about you, otherwise, she will give birth to the baby here before going back?"

"How is that possible?" Hua Chun laughed: "When the emperor comes back, I will go back to the palace."

"Hey, the harem is not a place for people to stay." Wan patted her thighs and looked at her with distress: "What do you want to eat? Tell Wei Niang, Wei Niang will prepare it for you now."

All the medicinal foods for nurturing the baby in the palace were almost done, and Hua Chunba slammed her mouth: "I want to eat fried potatoes."

"Ah?" Wan looked at her in embarrassment: "What is that?"

"It's just that potatoes are cut into pieces, fry them in oil, and then mix them as ingredients!"

Wan was stunned, and then his expression became even more worried: "Do you want to eat spicy food?"

Hua Chun nodded: "What's wrong? You should be able to eat it?"

"It's OK, it's OK." Wan frowned: "But the sour and spicy girl..."

Was a little stunned, Hua Chun then smiled: "Don't be so superstitious. There is no need to contact you with a boy or a girl with what you like to eat. Besides, even if you are a daughter, isn't it good?"

"What's so good?" Wan Shi was discouraged: "You suffered so much before because you had devoted yourself to your daughter. Now there are other people in the palace who are pregnant. If you have a daughter and someone has a son, then the treatment will be very different, and you will feel uncomfortable."

After thinking about it, Hua Chun said, "The Empress Dowager is indeed a bit boyish, but this child belongs to me and the emperor, as long as we don't dislike him. Besides... Mother, I am really glad that I am a daughter, otherwise it would be difficult to drag the emperor to make a fortune."

"What are you doing?" Wan Shi was confused.

"It's nothing. Anyway, if it's a daughter, you don't have to be too disappointed. I will raise her well." Hua Chun grinned and patted her hands.

Wan nodded helplessly and went out to prepare the legendary fried potatoes for her.

On the surface, she said she didn't care about men and women, but Wan still secretly offered Guanyin to send her son behind her back, and used various folk remedies to ask that the child be his son.

Hua Chun didn't notice it, but seeing that Wan was so dedicated, she couldn't say anything. However, it can be seen from this that fortunately she was not in a hurry to tell the Queen Mother about pregnancy, otherwise she would be put under pressure to have a boy every day and would have to give birth.
