Concubine De, who was three months pregnant, suddenly had a severe stomach ache when she visited the garden, and there were signs of miscarriage, however, the Tai Hospital was Li Yan's medical skills and successfully prevented the tragedy from repeating, after his emergency treatment, Concubine De's condition finally stabilized, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the Empress Dowager Jiang recited Amitabha with both hands.

At this time, Jiajing finally rushed back from outside, obviously sweating profusely, but his face was pale at the moment, he rushed back from the camp of the Shenji Battalion after receiving the news, and asked anxiously as soon as he entered the door: "Queen Mother, where is Concubine De?" ”

When Empress Dowager Jiang saw her son, she was angry, and said angrily: "The emperor still knows how to come back, how did you become a husband, knowing that Concubine De was pregnant with your flesh and blood, but she didn't ask or hear it, and ran to mess with He Zhi'er's wild girl." ”

Jiajing was suddenly scolded so red that her face was red, and she opened her mouth to stammer, and Princess Yongfu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Brother Huang, Imperial Doctor Li's wonderful hand has rejuvenated, Concubine De and the fetus are safe, you go in and see Concubine De!" ”

Jiajing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and flashed into the room after confessing to the Empress Dowager Jiang, he was really nervous, the miscarriage of Concubine Shu had left him a psychological shadow before, if Concubine De had another miscarriage, it is estimated that he would think that he was destined to have no children.

It is said that the fertility of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, can be described as top-notch, while fighting the country, he also gave birth to several large baskets of children, throughout his life, he gave birth to a total of forty-four children, including twenty-six sons, eighteen daughters, except for four who died young, the rest have grown up safely, and they are really powerful. However, Lao Zhu's powerful fertility gene does not seem to have been passed on to his offspring, or Lao Zhu is too capable of giving birth, and God wants to make up for the deficiency, so the fertility and life expectancy of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are generally not very good.

For example, Zhu Youzhang, the emperor of Ming Xiaozong Hongzhi, lived for thirty-six years, reigned for eighteen years, and only gave birth to a son of Zhengde Zhu Houzhao, but Zhengde was better than his old son, only lived for thirty-one years, reigned for sixteen years, and simply died. Jiajing himself is also an only son, he has been married for six years and has no children, Concubine Shu finally got pregnant and miscarried, and now Concubine De almost miscarried after she became pregnant, Jiajing, this kid can't help but feel worried, he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of his cousin Zhu Houzhao, so he is particularly concerned about having children.

After visiting Concubine De, Jiajing specially summoned Li Yanwen to inquire carefully, and after the latter packed the ticket and said that Concubine De and the fetus would be fine, he relaxed a little, and asked with a frown: "Imperial Doctor Li, Concubine De is fine, why did she suddenly almost have a miscarriage, didn't she say that the fetus is stable after three months?" ”

Li Yanwen said cautiously: "Theoretically, the fetal gas for three months has been stabilized, but there is no absolute, so pregnant women have to give birth well before giving birth, and they must not move the fetal gas. ”

Jiajing's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "For example? ”

"For example, musk can't be smelled, it is easy to cause miscarriage, and crabs can't be eaten, which will cause slippery tires......" Li Yanwen listed a bunch of taboos.

Jiajing frowned when he heard this, and simply asked Li Yanwen to make a list of taboos, and let the palace people check them one by one according to the above list to prevent the situation from happening again. Soon, the results of the investigation came out, and it turned out that Concubine De did not commit a taboo during this time, and among the people who were responsible for serving her, there were experienced and stable women, so it was naturally impossible to violate the ban, but Jiajing was obviously frightened, and let people continue to investigate until they found out the reason, which made the harem rumor rumor for a while.

Let's say that Empress Wu returned to Kunning Palace uneasily, hid in the room alone, and immediately took off the bracelet she was wearing on her wrist and smelled it, and her face changed.

This pair of sandalwood bracelets is light red, smooth and round, and fragrant, which is exactly the pair that Tao Zhongwen gave to Empress Wu. Although Tao Zhongwen has been confirmed to be the Demon Dao of the White Lotus Sect, and was killed near the noon gate with Li Dayi, Queen Wu has always worn this bracelet, because this bracelet is indeed very beautiful and smells very good, the key is that Tao Zhongwen once told her that this bracelet has the effect of warding off evil spirits and calming the nerves, and Wangfu Yizi.

At this time, Empress Wu smelled the strange fragrance emitted by her hands, and couldn't help but think of what Tao Zhongwen said to her again: "Concubine Shuniang is pregnant with a dragon fetus, and the queen, as the master of the harem, should move around more and care, presumably the emperor is also happy to see this."

Recalling what Tao Zhongwen said at the beginning, Queen Wu's face couldn't help but turn slightly pale, she listened to Tao Zhongwen's words, took the initiative to make friends with Concubine Shu, and often went to Jingren Palace to care for Concubine Shu, but Concubine Shu later miscarried, and today she wore this bracelet to peel two oranges for Concubine De, and Concubine De almost miscarried......

The more Empress Wu thought about it, the paler her face became, and suddenly as if she had been stabbed by Ma Feng, she threw the sandalwood bracelet in her hand to the ground, her face changed for a moment and she bent down to pick it up, and walked anxiously in the room, and finally carefully hid the bracelet in a hidden place......

Empress Wu is not sure whether her bracelet contains musk, but if it is really found out, she really can't imagine the consequences, whether it is the queen mother, or the emperor, or the lady and concubine, she will definitely not let go of herself.

Empress Wu hid the bracelet and calmed down for a while, then shouted: "Someone! ”

A palace maid walked in and said respectfully, "Queen Mother." ”

"Go and call Grandpa Bi!" Empress Wu said lightly.

Soon, Bi Gonggong was called, and it was Bi Chun, the eunuch who was the former celebrant and the eunuch who held the seal. It is said that Bi Chun wanted to replace the retired Bi Yun before, but because several little eunuchs talked about Xu Jin, Jiajing "coincidentally" heard about it, and finally lost the position of the eunuch who was in charge of the seal.

As mentioned earlier, that incident was the bureau set up by Empress Wu for Xu Jin under the guidance of a "master", trying to separate the relationship between Jiajing and Xu Jin's monarchs, but Xu Jin took the initiative to delegate power and chose the position of Guogong, thus breaking this vicious bureau, and Bi Chun was also a participant in this bureau, although he did not know it in advance.

Empress Wu took advantage of Bi Chun, and was naturally worried that Bi Chun would retaliate, so when Bi Chun was demoted by Jiajing, she reached out and transferred Bi Chun to Kunning Palace as a great eunuch, on the one hand, to envelop him, and on the other hand, to take him with her to take care of him.

"What does the queen have to summon the minions?" As soon as Bi Chun came in, he asked with a sneer.

Empress Wu ordered the palace maid to take a box of incense powder and handed it to Bi Chundao: "This is the incense powder that Concubine De asked the palace for today, Bi Gonggong sent it over for the palace, be smart, don't rush into others, people are now precious!" ”

Bi Chun suddenly realized and said with a smile: "The slave can save it, so I will send it over." With that, he withdrew.

Watching Bi Chun leave, Queen Wu couldn't help but be a little apprehensive, today in the pavilion of Cining Garden, Concubine De said that the incense powder on her body smelled good, it is estimated that she smelled the fragrance of the bracelet she wore on her wrist, and now she asked Bi Chun to send a box of incense powder over, the fragrance is somewhat similar to that bracelet, I hope I can get through the trick!

At this time, Empress Wu's mind flashed, if the bracelet that Tao Zhongwen gave herself really contained musk, would it be the reason why she had never been able to conceive?

As soon as she thought of this, Empress Wu couldn't help but secretly get excited!
