Chapter 130 The Empress Dowager Gives Saffron to Concubine Rong
"I'll walk away with you."
Holding onto Lu Li's hand, Li Yi supported her waist and walked with her in the courtyard.
Zhaonanyuan has undergone some changes, far from what it was back then.
At a glance, flowers, grass, or leaves are all vibrant.
After all, the half-dead were moved out.
"Are you tired?" After walking for a while, Li Yi and Lu Li sat down and asked her to rest.
The imperial physician came to see her every day, and Lu Li's pregnancy was relatively stable. She was lethargic in the early stage, but it got better later on, but she still lay on the bed most of the time.
In this situation, Li Yi is worried.
The imperial physician also told Li Yi in private that although he has been recuperating, the development of the fetus has placed a great burden on Lu Li's body.
Qi and blood are deficient, and the loss will be more serious in the later stage.
Whether it can be guaranteed to full term is unknown.
In the absence of Qiu Fei, Li Yi didn't dare to increase the dosage of the prescription without authorization. He asked several imperial physicians to confirm that there would be no problem, so he increased it by half a point.
"Li Yi, what do you think his eyebrows and eyes will look like?"
Hugging Li Yi lightly, watching him listen on her stomach, Lu Li made a soft sound with anticipation in her eyes.
"It looks so much like you, it makes people think that they saw a goddess in Wushan." Li Yi raised his head and smiled.
"You are the only one who can praise people." Lu Li rubbed his face, "What's the situation with Concubine Rong?"
"In the food delivered to Xuanhua Palace two days ago, I found that some of the dishes had saffron added." Li Yi touched Lu Li's stomach and spoke slowly.
"You blocked it?"
"No." Li Yi got up and sat beside Lu Li, wrapping his arms around her so that she could lean on him.
"Concubine Rong is a fake pregnancy anyway, even if the people in her room were negligent and didn't check out the saffron, it doesn't hurt her to eat it."
"Li'er, guess who gave her the saffron?"
Looking at Li Yi's teasing eyes, Lu Li stroked the moving child in his belly, thinking in his eyes.
"The queen mother?"
"Li'er is so smart, I'm afraid this kid will be very stupid." Li Yi glanced at Lu Li's stomach, sighed, and was pinched on the waist.
No mother likes to hear her child be called stupid.
Li Yi gritted his teeth and hurriedly begged for mercy, "I'm just joking, my lady, please forgive me."
"The saffron was indeed given by the queen mother. Even if the emperor has no children, she does not want Concubine Rong to give birth to a prince."
"The Empress Dowager also knows in her heart that it doesn't matter if Concubine Rong wants to give birth to a prince or emperor."
"Compared to her grandson, she obviously values her son more."
"Li Yi, the emperor is still sleeping all day long?" Lu Li frowned slightly.
Li Yi looked down at her, "Is Li'er worried about him?"
"You are more jealous than Chen Qun Zhou's wife." Lu Li reached out and tapped Li Yi's eyebrows, and laughed.
Although she is a queen, the number of times she has seen the emperor is one of the few. She is either in the cold palace or grounded, so there is no emotion at all.
Jing Ai finds jealousy for herself.
"It's time for the Empress Dowager to come to Zhaonan Garden." Lu Li opened Tan's mouth lightly.
Li Yi frowned, looked at her, looked at her, and leaned over to kiss her.
Lu Li glared at him, "Be more serious."
"Okay, daughter-in-law." Li Yi grinned.
"The queen mother didn't succeed, and the emperor was in a coma, and then I have the hegemony, so it's really time for her to come to Zhaonanyuan." Li Yi said slowly.
"Is Li'er seeing you or not?"
"It's better to meet each other." Lu Li changed her posture, her stomach was getting bigger, and her waist was more prone to soreness. "If you stop her, she will definitely find another way."
"On the contrary, troubles will arise."
"Your identity is too provoking to her." "That's true." Li Yiwei turned sideways and massaged Lu Li's waist, "But she was so scared when she came here."
"The fact that you are pregnant, the emperor, did not disclose it to her."
"Sleepy." When she was thinking hard, Lu Li was particularly prone to fatigue, and she leaned on Li Yi's chest, her tone was a little soft.
Li Yi scratched her nose, smiled fondly, and gently picked her up.
Keep everything from her, she will be worried, but if you tell her, she can't bear to think.
It is really difficult for people to do anything.
After putting Lu Li on the couch, Li Yi unbuttoned her coat and helped her lie down.
The curvature of the stomach is not small, so I can only lie on my side.
Li Yi sat aside, rubbing Lu Li's waist and legs.
Seeing her peaceful sleeping face, Li Yi bowed his head and kissed her with tenderness in his eyes.
As Lu Li expected, the Queen Mother did think of her.
Since the emperor is seriously ill, the queen should preside over the overall situation in the palace.
In the Empress Dowager's heart, Li Yi was afraid that he had hooked up with Concubine Rong, otherwise, why would Li Yi's left ear go in and the right ear go out, and Yin obeyed and Yin violated her orders.
If Li Yi made a move, how could the child in Concubine Rong's womb survive until now.
The empress dowager, who was so angry that she couldn't sleep well, drove Zhaonanyuan at night.
When she saw Lu Li's stomach, she froze on the spot, her eyes almost widening.
Lu Li is clearly pregnant!
"The concubine pays her respects to the queen mother." Even though she was heavily pregnant, Lu Li was still impeccable in terms of etiquette.
"The Empress Dowager." Seeing that she was still there, Li Yi called out with a frown as he felt sorry for his daughter-in-law.
The queen mother came back to her senses, looked at Lu Li with surprise on her face, "This?"
"In order for the child in the empress' womb to be born safely and not be persecuted by the thieves, the emperor found an excuse to imprison the empress in Zhaonanyuan. In this way, everyone's eyes can be diverted."
Li Yi stepped forward to support Lu Li, and answered on her behalf.
"Concubine Rong is not pregnant." Li Yi threw a bombshell.
The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes.
"The Zheng family needs a prince." Li Yi looked at the queen mother and said, the queen mother immediately understood the meaning.
"You go back first."
Looking at Lu Li's stomach, the queen mother said to Li Yi.
Li Yi lowered his eyes, and glanced at the queen mother, making sure that she would not pose a threat to Lu Li, Li Yi retreated.
"How long has it been?" The queen mother stepped forward and took Lu Li's hand.
"It's more than June."
"I'm sorry for you." The queen mother patted Lu Li's hand lightly, her eyes were full of kindness, she had already made plans for the emperor's extinction, but who knew that Lu Li had already had a dragon heir in her womb.
If it's a prince, it's God's blessing.
"You are in Zhaonanyuan, I'm afraid you don't know what's going on outside, Li Yi is a man with great ambitions, you can't trust him completely." The queen mother said slowly.
Even though Li Yi just showed that everything was arranged by the emperor, what he did outside was so shocking that the queen mother could not believe that he had no intention.
It's just that he didn't choose Concubine Rong, but Lu Li.
After all, the son of a legitimate son is more able to gather people's hearts, and it is justifiable.
Lu Li narrowed her eyes and nodded.
The queen mother wanted to lift the ban on Lu Li, but now, that thought is gone.
Nothing is more important than the safe birth of the child in Lu Li's womb.
With Li Yi's support, if it was the prince or concubine Rong, there would be no trouble.
The Zheng family's plan is bound to fail.
