Chapter 284 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Thirty-three)

Cui Li: "Brother Sheng, I've only been pregnant for a little over a month. Our baby isn't formed yet. I'll have to wait three or four months before I can feel the fetal movement."

Liang Sheng was very surprised. As an emperor, he actually didn't have much common sense about women's pregnancy.

He only knew that after a woman becomes pregnant, she will gradually experience morning sickness, and her diet will be different from usual. Especially sour fruits, which would make a non-pregnant person's teeth fall out if eaten, would be appetizing to a pregnant woman.

He also knew... well, women can't have sex during the first three months of pregnancy because it's not good for the fetus.

As her belly grows bigger, a woman may become haggard, develop pregnancy spots on her face, have swollen legs and feet, and may have trouble sleeping at night.

In fact, after Concubine Xu became pregnant, he only asked the imperial physician to take good care of her, but did not take the initiative to learn about childcare knowledge.

After all, he was a little cold in nature, or perhaps emperors were not so sentimental. His heart was occupied by the great cause of unifying the world. He went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen, and gradually rose from a soldier to a general, becoming the War King of Liang. Yes, before Liang Sheng was named the crown prince, the title bestowed on him by the late emperor was the War King.

The only tenderness left in his heart was left to Cui Li, his childhood sweetheart. He broke the vows they had made to each other, and he felt sorry for Cui Li.

To the Queen, Concubine Xu and others, he felt more of a sense of responsibility as a monarch and a man. Being in the highest ruling position, he would consciously abide by the ancestral law that the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards should be treated equally. He would not curse or vent his anger on the women in the harem for no reason, but he would not give them any unnecessary affection either.

But before the incident with Concubine Xu, he had never thought that his harem was like an abyss, and every step was like walking on thin ice. There were spies from the two countries of Ji and Qi, spies planted by court officials, and calculations of concubines in the harem. If he was not careful, his life would be in danger.

Liang Sheng lamented that Concubine Xu's death made him stop pursuing the Xu family's fault for not educating their daughter properly, but it also made him understand that if he did not take action, he would not be able to protect his sweetheart!

Liang Sheng couldn't help but feel angry when he thought of the eunuchs and palace maids imprisoned in the dark prison.

His royal secret guards have many tricks up their sleeves, and most of them have confessed. As for the few who are still stubborn, Liang Sheng will not give them the chance to commit suicide.

One of the people taken away from Chengqian Palace had been hiding their identities for twelve years! If the medicine found during the search hadn't exposed her, who knows when they would have discovered that there was something wrong with this nanny.

This secret agent from Qi State stayed in Chengqian Palace as a nanny, staying by Li'er's side. With such a poisonous snake lurking around, who knows when it will point its fangs at Li'er!

Thinking of the secret medicine of Qi State hidden by the Qi State spy, there was only half a tube of medicine powder left. Qiao Zhi said that it was the secret medicine of the Qi State royal family. It only needed to be taken three times, and the patient would gradually become weak within half a month and die in his sleep.

Liang Sheng was shocked. He quickly arranged for the Imperial Hospital's Zheng and Qiao Zhi to examine Cui Li. Fortunately, Cui Li was fine and hadn't been poisoned. Qiao Zhi wanted to take his pulse, but after a moment's hesitation, he reached out and found a small amount of toxins in his system! That nanny must be trying to kill him!

Qiao Zhi wrote out a prescription, saying that taking it three times would clear out the toxins. The prescription was looked over by the Imperial Physician, and seeing that there was no problem with the prescription, Liang Sheng asked the two to leave.

The people imprisoned in these dark cells made Liang Sheng sneer repeatedly.

The imperial kitchen is responsible for the meals of everyone in the harem. There are actually people from the Ji Kingdom in such an important place!

This was good. There was no poison in the house, but the hidden silk handkerchief exposed him. This silk handkerchief had a unique embroidery pattern and material of Ji State, and was only used by nobles. How could a small royal chef have a silk handkerchief that was only used by nobles of Ji State?

No matter how he argued, he was still thrown into the secret cell. His words were tougher than Nanny Qi's. So he would be locked up first. Liang Sheng was not in a hurry to punish him.

There are always restless people in the former and harems.

Cui Li: "Brother Sheng, what's wrong with you? You seem unhappy? Is there something bothering you?"
