If His Majesty does not agree, then it is none of his business. So, the chamberlain immediately nodded and took the order to report. After a while, he came out and said, "Your Majesty, please come in."

As expected, the palace maid next to her laughed. So the two of them walked in together. As soon as Shen Lian saw Qin Zheng, she immediately smiled slightly and said, "I see you, Your Majesty."

Qin Zheng raised his head and saw her saluting him, and immediately said, "Li'er, you don't need to be polite. Why are you here today? You don't have to worry about tiring yourself." In fact, Nangong Li rarely came to him on her own initiative. .Usually it was he who went over to see her. Today, her sudden visit surprised Qin Zheng. However, he understood as soon as he saw the food in the hands of the palace maid next to her.

Is she giving him food? It smells very fragrant and should be good. Shen Lian noticed his gaze and immediately gave the person next to him a look. The palace maid next to him nodded immediately, and then came forward with a plate respectfully. She took out the beef soup and crystal cake on the plate and placed them on the table. Then, she immediately returned to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian walked over and stood beside him, "Both of these are made by Li'er. Please taste them, Your Majesty." She picked up the spoon and handed it to Qin Zheng. After Qin Zheng took it smoothly, he He put the spoon into the beef soup. At this time, the people around him reminded him. After all, when the emperor eats food, someone usually has to taste it first.

In order to prevent someone from poisoning the food and harming the emperor. Therefore, people around him usually try the food first to make sure that it is safe before letting him taste it. However, Qin Zheng just glanced away, and the chamberlain immediately retreated. Then, Shen Lian saw Qin Zheng take a spoon himself, scoop out a spoonful of beef soup, and put it into his mouth.

He chewed slowly and tasted it slowly. After a while, he looked at her with bright eyes. "I didn't expect that Li'er's cooking skills were so good. The beef soup she made was delicious." He said. He took another piece of crystal cake and stuffed it into his mouth. He only chewed it twice and praised it repeatedly. Whether it was soup or pastry, they all tasted great.

The combination of color, flavor and taste made him excited and couldn't stop. After a while, the whole bowl of beef soup went into his stomach, and only one or two pieces of crystal cake were left on the plate.

He was already full, so he put down his hand. "Li'er, you can eat a piece too, it tastes great." He picked up a piece of crystal cake and brought it to her mouth. Shen Lian opened her mouth and bit the piece. He let go of the pastry. The two of them looked at each other in an ambiguous and flirtatious manner, with smiles in their eyes. This caused the maids and chamberlains around them to lower their heads one after another, not daring to look.

The next few months have been peaceful and nothing happened. However, Shen Lian's belly has grown a lot. After all, she has been pregnant for several months now.

A month ago, she had secretly asked the imperial doctor whether the fetus was a boy or a girl. The imperial doctor repeatedly confirmed the diagnosis and clearly stated that it was most likely a little prince. It could be said that the possibility of being a prince was very high. However, , they did not tell anyone about this matter. They waited until the day of delivery to avoid making other people jealous and harm her.

However, no matter how careful Shen Lian was, she almost suffered an accident. On this day, she felt hungry. In recent months, she had been feeling hungry very quickly. So, she had to eat several meals a day. Of course, every day It wasn't much, but it was several meals. At this time, she felt hungry again, so the maid next to her went down and brought a plate of cloud cake.

Shen Lian picked up a piece casually and was about to put it in her mouth. At this time, a puppy ran up, all white, but it was not hers. Because Shen Lian did not raise any puppies or kittens. It ran towards her. It ran so fast that it couldn't stop and bumped into her leg. As a result, her hand shook and the cake in her hand fell.

The next moment, the cloud cake was eaten by the puppy. When the palace maid next to him was about to scold it, suddenly she saw the puppy twitching all over. Then, it fell to the ground and stopped moving. .At this time, everyone was stunned on the spot. After a while, the palace maid squatted down and gave the dog a gentle push.

However, it still didn't move and closed its eyes tightly. So she stretched out her fingers and carefully looked at the puppy's nose. When she found that the puppy was out of breath, her face changed drastically.

She stood up suddenly and looked at Shen Lian. "Madam, this dog is dead." The fact that it ate the cloud cake and died proved one thing, that is, the cake was poisonous. Otherwise, it would have only bitten How come it died after just a few mouthfuls? Just now, when it ran over, it was alive and kicking. Shen Lian's face also changed, and he immediately called the imperial doctor into the palace.

Later, after the imperial doctor tested it, he reported, "My Lady, this pastry is indeed drugged. Moreover, not every piece of pastry is poisonous, but this one happens to be poisonous. And the weight is not heavy. If it is If a person eats it, he will not die immediately. Unless he eats it for several days, it may cause death. The dog was still young, so he ate such a small amount and died."

Someone actually put medicine in her food to kill her. The imperial doctor said that if it were eaten by a human being, with such a small amount, she would not die immediately, but it would take several days. In this case, everyone would die. It's possible that even if something happens to her, she won't immediately think about food.

The puppy was too young, so she couldn't bear it and died immediately. She was also prevented from eating the poisonous cloud cake. The person who administered the medicine was very careful, not every piece of cloud cake was poisonous. Only There is only one of them, and the one she just took happened to be that one. It is really dangerous. If she eats it, even if she does not die, it will be harmful.

Especially, it would hurt the child in her belly. This matter was not trivial. Shen Lian immediately sent someone to ask Qin Zheng to come over. He must know about this matter and let him send someone to investigate it. Shen Lian didn't intend to catch that person immediately or find out who was behind him. Instead, she wanted to deliberately conduct a thorough investigation to make the person who drugged the drug and the person behind him clear.

One fact is that she is not someone to be trifled with. Once someone dares to scheme against her, it will definitely not end well, and it will also serve as a hindrance. In the days to come, she will be safer.

When Qin Zheng knew about this, he was really furious and immediately sent people to conduct a thorough investigation in the palace. He must find the person who drugged him and the people behind him, and he would not be lenient. At the same time, he also sent an order to inform him. If anyone else in the palace dares to harm Concubine Li and her unborn child, he will never forgive him lightly and will definitely punish him severely to the end.

For a moment, the people in the palace were panicked. Later, they found the person who had administered the medicine, a palace maid in Concubine Li's palace. However, the palace maid who was just a rough messenger was not with her.

She seized the opportunity, entered the small kitchen, and drugged the pastry. Unexpectedly, the first time she drugged, someone discovered it. As for the person behind her, Shen Lian didn't interfere, but Qin Zheng The Duke punished him. In other words, he punished the man severely, and everyone in the palace knew about it. At the same time, they were frightened by Qin Zheng's heavy punishment.

Later, Qin Zheng sent an imperial physician to come over and take turns guarding her palace together with the original imperial physician. Everything she ate, wore, and used had to be inspected by them first.

Qin Zheng made it clear that in the future, everything, big and small, must be carefully guarded against. There should be no room for the slightest mistake. What happened last time will never be allowed to happen again. Once something happens to Concubine Li and her son, everything in the palace will be affected. No one can escape punishment. It also scares them and makes each of them be cautious. In this way, no one will dare to accept money to do those harmful things.

After all, money must be enjoyed with life, right?

In this way, Shen Lian finally waited successfully for the day of delivery. When she felt the pain, it was still dark, and Qin Zheng was lying next to her, not yet getting up. He was still sleeping, and Shen Lian was She woke up from the severe pain in her abdomen. She covered her stomach with one hand and felt that it hurt, it really hurt. The day was almost here, and it seemed that the time had come.

She covered her stomach with one hand and looked at the people around her. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." The repeated soft calls from the people around her made Qin Zheng wake up, and he looked at her in confusion.

"Your Majesty, I, it hurts so much, I feel like I'm about to... give birth..." Seeing that sweat was dripping from her forehead, and her face was grimacing with pain. He immediately sat down. He got up, opened the curtains, and shouted outside.

"Come on, Concubine Li is about to give birth. Call the imperial doctor and midwife over quickly." As soon as the people outside heard this, someone immediately went out to find the imperial doctor and midwife. Others came in to wait on them. Qin Zheng immediately got out of bed. After getting dressed, he came over to stay in front of the bed. He held her hand and whispered comfort in her ear.

Soon, the royal doctor and midwife who were already in her palace ran over. As soon as they arrived, Qin Zheng had no choice but to exit the inner hall and wait in the outer hall. After all, he was a man and could not stay where a woman was giving birth. place.

As soon as he went out, the midwife immediately came to the bedside and held her hand. While comforting her, she directed the maids to prepare things for the birth. The people in the inner hall groaned in pain and struggled. It hurts the people in the outer hall; but the people in the outer hall cannot come in, so they can only wait outside and worry. The imperial doctor is guarding the intersection of the inner hall and the outer hall, over the screen.

While he was understanding the situation in the inner palace, he told the nun what to do. If something unexpected happened to the empress, he would immediately stop avoiding suspicion and go in for treatment.

He is staying here just in case.

After all, giving birth is a very dangerous thing for a woman, and accidents can happen at any time. Having a royal doctor watching over you always makes people feel more at ease. And the mama who delivered the baby is also an experienced mama. When she took action, She had always been careful and gentle so as not to hurt Shen Lian. But at this moment, Shen Lian was almost numb from the pain. Even if she struck harder, she wouldn't feel it anymore.

Because, no matter how heavy it is, there is no cramping pain in my stomach right now.

Giving birth was still very painful, but she couldn't leave the body at this time. As soon as she walked away, the body would lose its soul and she would fall asleep. How could she give birth to a child if she was unconscious? Shen Lian also thought about it , summoning the soul of the original owner to come over and let her give birth. However, Zhiyuan responded to her in her mind that the soul of the original owner cannot come over now.
