Chapter 941 The sky is falling
While instructing the nanny to select suitable items, the Empress began to give Chu Junting instructions.
"It's inconvenient for me to take care of Ruozhen while I'm in the palace, so you'll have to put in more effort to take good care of her."
Every day, the imperial physician is to be sent to check the patient's pulse. If there is any discomfort, it must be reported; one must not find it troublesome..."
Chu Junting listened attentively, without the slightest impatience; his earnest expression suggested he wished he could memorize everything.
"Ruozhen, look at how serious Junting is. He's treating everything the Empress says as an imperial edict." Lu Minhui couldn't help but laugh.
Song Ruozhen couldn't help but chuckle. Since learning she was pregnant, she hadn't felt anything special except for being overjoyed.
Seeing Chu Junting like this today, and hearing the elders' concern, my joy has only grown stronger.
However, compared to her, Chu Junting seemed to be more nervous.
She looked very cute with that serious expression.
Seeing that the Empress had immediately sent people to prepare things, the Emperor naturally wouldn't lag behind and immediately rewarded her with many things.
Hearing about the extremely generous rewards, Song Ruozhen was shocked. This was even more than the rewards given to the King of Chu when he was made crown prince!
Before they could leave the Empress's palace, the Empress Dowager's bestowal of honors arrived.
"When the Empress Dowager heard that the Crown Princess was pregnant, she was overjoyed and immediately wanted to come and see her, but this old servant stopped her."
She needs more rest and recuperation; as instructed by the Crown Princess, she shouldn't move around too much for the next few days.
The old nanny beside the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "These were all specially prepared by the Empress Dowager, who told the Crown Princess to take good care of herself during her pregnancy and not to overexert herself."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Ruozhen couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.
The concubines in the courtyard couldn't help but feel envious of the generous rewards.
“No other princess who was pregnant before received such treatment. Song Ruozhen is really pleasing. Whether it is the Emperor, the Empress, or the Empress Dowager, they all treat her so well.”
"Let alone other princesses who are pregnant, even when Princess Liang was rumored to have given birth to twins, the palace rewards were just ordinary items, which are nothing compared to what you see here."
"The Crown Princess is truly blessed. However, if it weren't for her superb medical skills that saved the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager's condition would be unknown now."
It's perfectly normal for the Empress Dowager to treat her well; if anyone's to blame, it's that none of us are as capable as her.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. If they also had such abilities, they could receive the Empress Dowager's protection in the palace and truly have nothing to worry about.
Unfortunately, they didn't have the ability, so they could only watch with envy.
After being dragged away, Qi Qingyi fell into deep despair, but it wasn't until she was locked in a dilapidated room that she cried out:
"I'm carrying the Prince of Liang's child right now, how can you let me live in a place like this?"
The eunuch sneered, "Qi Qingyi, you don't still think you're the Princess Consort of Liang, do you?"
"Who told you to be so wicked? Why did you have to plot against Consort Duan when you could have a perfectly good life? This place is fine for you to live in, or you can die if you don't want to."
"What did you say?" Qi Qingyi stared at him in disbelief. "I'm carrying the Prince of Liang's child. My father also instructed me to give birth to the child. How dare you treat me like this?"
"If I were to die as a result of my unborn child, you'd better think carefully about whether you can afford the consequences!"
The young eunuch looked at Qi Qingyi's belly and knew that she was carrying twins, which were indeed more precious than ordinary children.
Seeing that the eunuch had fallen silent, Qi Qingyi assumed that he had taken her threat to heart.
"You'd better think this through carefully. Twins are an auspicious sign. My child is extremely precious. If you don't take good care of me, and something happens to me, you'll definitely lose your heads!"
However, Xiao Tai overheard the message that had just arrived and immediately let out a cold laugh.
"You're really dreaming! Do you really think that being pregnant with twins is something special? The Crown Princess is pregnant with triplets, that's a true auspicious sign!"
With a mother as cruel as you, who even harms her own mother-in-law, what good can her child possibly be?
"If you don't want to stay, go find the Qi family or Prince Liang. If the Emperor issues an order, you can go back. Otherwise, shut your mouth!"
Qi Qingyi stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "What did you say? Song Ruozhen is pregnant with triplets?"
How is that possible? She wasn't pregnant at all, let alone triplets!
"You almost hurt the Crown Princess just now, which is why the imperial physician examined her and discovered that she was not only pregnant with one child, but with triplets!"
"The Crown Princess's auspicious sign is the real omen; as for you... you can just wait to die!"
The young eunuch slammed the door shut, his voice full of disdain.
"She doesn't even know who she is. She's a vicious woman. The day the child is born will be her death day. She still dares to make demands. She's dreaming!"
"Exactly! If she hadn't been pregnant, she would have been beheaded by now!"
Hearing the humiliating sounds coming from outside, Qi Qingyi clenched her fists in anger.
"Damn Song Ruozhen! Why does she always have to compete with me!"
She had finally managed to get pregnant after taking a huge risk, hoping to secure her position as a princess, but Song Ruozhen repeatedly suppressed her, leaving her no chance to rise in the ranks. It was simply too much!
"Why is she so lucky every time?!"
Qi Qingyi gritted her teeth, "Triplets! Even if you're really pregnant, you might not be able to give birth to them!"
……
Qi family.
When Qi He learned that his daughter had entered the palace to murder Consort Duan, he felt as if struck by lightning, and collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his soul.
"My lord, could the information from the palace be wrong? Qingyi is currently pregnant, why would she want to harm Consort Duan?"
Madam Qi was completely taken aback, finding this utterly inexplicable.
She knew Qingyi didn't like Consort Duan, but Consort Duan was practically a living dead person now, and there was no conflict between them at all. She had no reason to do this!
"How would I know? The imperial edict will probably be issued from the palace soon. The evidence is conclusive; there's no way it could be fake!"
Qi He was practically going crazy. "What kind of trash did you give birth to? Do you want our entire Qi family to be ruined?"
"To murder a concubine in the harem is a capital offense!"
Seeing Qi He's expression, Madam Qi couldn't help but panic. "Master, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? We can only hope that the Emperor will consider our past relationship and spare our lives, otherwise we are doomed!"
Qi He trembled with fear. He was worried about his son, but now his daughter had turned the world upside down!
He couldn't possibly care about his son; he was barely able to take care of himself!
