Queen is fearless

Chapter 157 Children
"Tourmaline!" For Concubine Dong, pushing out Tourmaline as a scapegoat with her own hands already made her feel as if she had been lingering.

Now, she wants to watch Tourmaline die in front of her with her own eyes, or in this way, the pain in her heart is beyond description.

"Concubine Dong, you should follow the emperor's orders." Seeing her close her eyes, Yuan Bao on the side spoke coolly, reminding her.

She opened her eyes and looked at Yuan Bao with hatred in her eyes.

"Even if the empress hates the servant, there is nothing the servant can do. They will obey orders. If the empress keeps her own order, today's incident will not happen."

Not only Zhou Jing knew that Concubine Dong regarded Bixi as a scapegoat, Yuan Bao could also see that not disposing of Concubine Dong for the time being was just for the sake of the Dong family.

But things will not stop there, Yuan Bao guessed that the emperor will make some moves later.

The struggling limbs began to twitch violently, and after a while, they calmed down.

After a while, there was no response. A palace official stepped forward to check and confirmed that the person was dead. Then he took off the hideous mulberry paper mask on his face.

"Give that to me." Concubine Dong's voice came, with grief and indignation, the palace servant subconsciously looked at Yuan Bao.

Yuan Bao guessed why Concubine Dong was like this, so he nodded, even if Concubine Dong kept this thing and wanted to remind herself, it didn't matter, from now on, she might never be able to leave Yongchun Palace again.

Seeing Yuan Bao nodding, the palace man handed the mulberry paper to Concubine Dong, she reached out to take it, gently stroked the ferocious face on it, tears fell again.

"Concubine Dong, please." Yuan Bao said again, he wanted to watch Concubine Dong pack up everything and leave the palace.

Without even looking at Yuanbao, Concubine Dong returned to her residence with a tourmaline mulberry paper mask and Pearl, who had been terrified for a long time, and packed her things.

That is, an hour later, Concubine Dong's carriage left the palace.

The news spread throughout the palace, no one expressed sympathy for Concubine Dong's repatriation by the emperor, the news of the empress's pregnancy had been known to everyone, they were envious, but also slightly excited.

In the past, the emperor only favored the empress, and no one had a chance, but now it is different, the empress is pregnant, and her fetus is moving again, so she can no longer serve the emperor.

Right now, the emperor is in his prime, this cat is not stealthy, sooner or later, the emperor will enter the harem again.

"Your Majesty, everything is done." Yuan Bao returned to Yiyuan Hall, he had already washed and changed his clothes.

The reason for this is because he watched Tourmaline die before, and in his opinion, it was a very unlucky thing.

Now the empress is pregnant, and any bad things can't get close to the empress.

"En." Zhou Jing nodded and glanced at the inner room. At this moment, Gu Jinzhi was falling asleep.

"Send someone back to the palace to clean it up. After Concubine Dong returns, guard the Yongchun Palace and let her die in it."

Sure enough, as Yuan Bao guessed, from now on, Concubine Dong would never want to take a step forward.

"In addition, help me draw up an order and reprimand the Dong family for not being strict with their daughters." After thinking about it, Zhou Jing added a sentence.

"Yes." Yuan Bao responded quickly, and he knew that the emperor would make other arrangements.

"From today onwards, anyone who approaches the Hall of Yiyuan will be carefully interrogated, and those who have doubts will be sent directly to the Department of Punishment."

After looking forward to it for a long time, he and Jinzhi had a child. Now that Jinzhi is pregnant, there can be no more accidents.

"Yes." Responding again, Yuan Bao withdrew from the hall to make arrangements.

When Gu Jinzhi woke up again, it was already midnight, after sleeping for a long time, her stomach was very empty.

The food had been prepared a long time ago, just waiting for her to wake up, Zhou Jing kept watching and did not fall asleep.

"If the emperor is sleepy, go to sleep. Bai Zhi and the others will take care of you here, and everything will be fine."

Although he is in the palace, Zhou Jing is not idle, and there are often court affairs sent to him to deal with.

It's just that in comparison, it's much easier than in the capital.

"I'm fine, take your time." Although he was a little sleepy, seeing Gu Jinzhi, the sleepiness seemed to have disappeared.

Gu Jinzhi nodded, and ate all the food prepared by Bai Zhi.

"Starting tomorrow, Imperial Physician Hu will come to check your pulse every day to confirm your physical condition. After you cool down, if your body allows, you can go back to the palace."

The conditions in the palace are better than those in the palace, but Zhou Jing is a little worried about traveling all the way.

"Don't worry, your majesty, my body is fine, and this child is strong enough, otherwise..."

As if thinking of what happened today, Gu Jinzhi's expression changed.

"It's all over. With me here, I will guard you every step of the way in the future, and there will be no accidents."

"Don't worry, I have sent someone to send Dong Shi back and confine her in the Yongchun Palace. Besides, I have taught her some lessons and ordered her family to be reprimanded."

In this way, both Concubine Dong's reputation and her face are gone. Because of her relationship, the Dong family is reprimanded, and it is very likely that the Dong family will give up on her.

This is much more uncomfortable than downgrading...

"Thank you, Your Majesty." This time, Gu Jinzhi didn't say anything more, he had already dealt with it, and if he said more, it would be hypocritical.

Now it's like this, it's just right, let Concubine Dong calm down, she will stay in Yongchun Palace from now on, and never think about it again.

"Drink the medicine." Gu Jinzhi was very cooperative when he had to drink the anti-fetal medicine after eating. With Zhou Jing at the side, after drinking the bitter medicine, there was immediately a candied fruit. Gu Jinzhi thought it was very good.

This night, both Zhou Jing and Gu Jinzhi had good dreams.

In the next few days, there were concubines who wanted to come to greet the empress. After all, the empress was pregnant, let alone whether she could be happy, the emperor would definitely see it.

In order to accompany Gu Jinzhi, Zhou Jing moved all the court affairs to the Hall of Yiyuan, which was previously in the study in the palace.

For the concubines who want to visit, Zhou Jing directly ordered them to kowtow outside the Hall of Yiyuan, but if they want to come in, forget it.

With the order, the concubines who came to visit could only return disappointed.

"The emperor is like this, but it hurts the hearts of the beauties." After feeling better, Gu Jinzhi leaned on the soft couch and said with a light smile.

Although it was daytime, she was wearing extremely light clothes just to make her comfortable.

"Right now, as long as Jinzhi is not sad, others don't care." Putting down the notebook in his hand, Zhou Jing responded while picking up another book.

"Why should I be sad, the emperor is by my side, and there is our child in my stomach, so it's too late to be happy." Gu Jinzhi stretched out his hand to stroke his lower abdomen, and Gu Jinzhi withdrew his hand.

The imperial doctor told me before that when the moon is young, it is best not to touch it with your hands.

"I don't know whether it's a boy or a girl in my belly. I'm thinking about choosing a name. Doctor Hu told me that when the child is four or five months old, I will respond when I talk to him. If I have a name , it’s more convenient to talk.”
