Chapter 245 Feeling guilty
Emperor Yongjia looked at Qin Liuse's expression of surprise, which was difficult to conceal, and couldn't help but laugh, "Are you feeling guilty?"
"No." Qin Liuse was actually a little guilty and acted like a spoiled child, but she said stubbornly, "Didn't you say that in the first few months, the fewer people who knew about it, the better?"
Qin Liuse stroked her belly, and her mood had recovered. Since she didn't have sex, she guessed that she was pregnant.
Because of her little life, she is always very punctual.
Who would have thought that after reconciling with Emperor Yongjia at the end of October, her period did not come the following month. At first, she thought it was just a delay, but when it did not come after two days, Qin Liuse felt something was wrong.
Zijin took her pulse and found that she was pregnant.
Qin Liuse couldn't say how happy she was, because she always felt that this was unbelievable. Her belly hadn't swelled, the baby hadn't come out, or she hadn't had any pregnancy reactions yet, so she always felt it wasn't real.
During this month, she often forgot that she was pregnant, and it was only after several maids kept quietly reminding her that she would restrain herself.
"Even I can't know?" asked Emperor Yongjia.
Qin Liuse curled her lips, "If the emperor knows, can you keep it a secret for me?"
Emperor Yongjia found it difficult to answer when Qin Liuse questioned him like this.
If the imperial physician was called over to take her pulse, the truth would no longer be hidden. Furthermore, if he knew about it, he would certainly have everyone in the palace take care of her, just like they are doing now, so it naturally could not be concealed.
Emperor Yongjia touched his nose and said, "Others are rushing to tell me first, but you are just acting in front of me."
Emperor Yongjia looked at her.
As they said this, the two of them naturally thought of Qin Liuse's gentleness and freedom during this period of time.
This was the first time that Qin Liuse took the initiative to serve him. Before, it was Emperor Yongjia who led and took care of her.
It was pitch dark and night, so it was okay to have the cover of darkness to hide my shame.
When I bring this up later, my cheeks inevitably turn red, and I look like a ripe shrimp.
Qin Liuse opened her cherry lips and wanted to say something, but she was too embarrassed about this kind of thing, and she didn't have the nerve to talk about it calmly like Emperor Yongjia did afterwards.
Then she whispered, "It's good that the emperor knows now. I don't have to act anymore."
Emperor Yongjia raised his eyebrows, "I like it very much. There are still seven or eight months left. I think I will still have the blessing to enjoy it."
Qin Liuse was choked and couldn't help but raise her foot and kick Emperor Yongjia.
Emperor Yongjia caught her foot and held it in his palm to play with it, smiling with the corners of his lips raised, and did not forget to tease her, "I was still thinking about how to teach you to do it for me... but look, you can learn it without a teacher..."
Qin Liuse closed her eyes and felt like she was about to faint again.
--
In the courtyard outside the main hall of Zhaoyang Palace, Liu Qiuniang and Qin Huaijin were asking Aunt Mingyue about Qin Liuse.
"How is it? You're awake, right? Is Zhaoyi okay?"
"My sister is awake. Can I go in and see her?"
Qingqing curled her lips and looked at the two people who were trying to please her, thinking that if it weren't for them, Qin Zhaoyi wouldn't have fainted. Now, it's hindsight.
Qingqing cursed in her heart, these women in the harem are so fake!
Liu Qiuniang and Qin Huaijin were indeed concerned about Qin Liuse. When they found out that she had really fainted and was not pretending, they were both a little scared.
Who would have thought that after she came back, the imperial physician took her pulse and found out that she was pregnant.
Now both of them had complicated thoughts. They hoped she would wake up, but they were also afraid that if something went wrong, they would be blamed.
Secondly, he hoped that she would not wake up, because he could not accept that she was pregnant.
But if she doesn't wake up, and there's something wrong with the child, I can't escape the blame.
Therefore, these two people were very restless before Qin Liuse woke up.
The reason why he was waiting in the yard was that after the imperial physician took his pulse, Emperor Yongjia felt that there were too many people in the room and it was too noisy, so he sent everyone out.
Qin Liuse didn't wake up, and they didn't dare to go back just like that, so they just waited here.
Now seeing Aunt Mingyue and Qingqing Zijin being sent out, he guessed that Qin Liuse had woken up.
Aunt Mingyue said, "My dear ladies, Zhaoyi has woken up, and the Emperor is talking to her in there."
Qin Huaijin curled his lips after hearing this. Why did they have to be chased out for saying such things? It was really just a bunch of bitches causing trouble.
However, Qin Huaijin still smiled and said, "Can we go in to see my sister and ask her how she is doing?"
Aunt Mingyue felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. "The emperor said that no one is allowed to enter. This..."
Seeing Aunt Mingyue like this, Qin Huaijin pretended to understand her dilemma and acted like a good guy.
"Don't bother Aunt Mingyue, I'll ask the emperor myself."
As Qin Huaijin spoke, he pulled Liu Qiuniang to the door and shouted inside, "Your Majesty, I heard that my sister has woken up. Can you let me take a look at her?"
After saying that, he waited for a while, but heard no movement or response from inside.
Qin Huaijin was about to knock on the door again when he heard Emperor Yongjia calling Zhu Wanxi's name.
Zhu Wanxi, who had been waiting in the corridor nearby, quickly pushed the door open and went in.
But after a while, Zhu Wanxi came out again and said, "My two nobles, the emperor said it was getting late, so he asked Baolin and Meiren to go back first."
Zhu Wanxi came out and ordered them to leave. Liu Qiuniang opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Qin Huaijin pulled her back and signaled her not to speak.
Liu Qiuniang then reluctantly shut up.
"Then we will withdraw first. Thank you, Eunuch Zhu." Qin Huaijin said politely, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart.
Zhu Wanxi smiled and said, "It's late at night, goodbye, my two nobles."
Liu Qiuniang and Qin Huaijin could only grit their teeth and lead the maid back.
--
After Liu Qiuniang and Qin Huaijin left, Emperor Yongjia in the room also stood up and prepared to leave.
Qin Liuse saw that he was about to leave, so he asked, "Your Majesty, won't you rest here for a while?"
Emperor Yongjia shook his head and said, "I have something else to do."
Qin Liuse saw that he was still wearing the palace robe and thought that he must have come here suddenly, so she did not try to keep him.
Emperor Yongjia stood up, called Aunt Mingyue in, told her to take good care of Qin Liuse, then led Zhu Wanxi out of Zhaoyang Palace.
It was dark at night. Although there were olive-shaped lanterns standing in the aisles of Zhaoyang Palace, the dim light seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness.
Qingqing Zijin and Aunt Mingyue knelt on the ground to respectfully see Emperor Yongjia off. They stood up only after seeing the figure at the gate disappear into the night.
But just as I stood up, I saw someone else running in from the door.
He is the eunuch beside Zhu Wanxi and also the Yongjia Emperor's man.
Aunt Mingyue smiled and asked, "Did the young eunuch forget anything?"
The young eunuch lied and said with a smile, "No, it was Eunuch Zhu who asked me to invite Miss Qingqing to Chengqian Palace."
Qingqing and Aunt Mingyue looked at each other, not knowing what this meant.
Aunt Mingyue guessed it, that the eunuch listened to Zhu Wanxi, and what Zhu Wanxi listened to was the emperor's order.
I think he wants Qingqing to go over and explain what happened in East Garden tonight.
Just now in Zhaoyang Palace, Emperor Yongjia did not ask, and Aunt Mingyue thought it was just over. Now, thinking about it, it’s not that the Emperor did not want to ask, but the time was not right. He was just afraid that it was too noisy just now.
If we open a court for interrogation here, the situation will get out of hand and the Consort of their family will be implicated.
Aunt Mingyue winked at Qingqing and said with a smile, "Eunuch Zhu wants to see you, so go ahead. The palace gates will not be locked. When you come back, remember to bring a lantern to guide the way."
Qingqing then went to get the cloak and put it on.
Before leaving, the young eunuch said to Aunt Mingyue, "Master specifically told Aunt Mingyue not to tell Qin Zhaoyi about this. It's the middle of the night..."
Aunt Mingyue understood that the emperor was afraid of distracting Qin Zhaoyi and frightening her, so she quickly said, "I know, the longer the night, the more dreams there are."
