Chapter 144 Arousing suspicion and forcing back to the palace
She pretended not to notice the Queen's gaze, sat down carefully, and deliberately took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead in front of the Queen.
In order to sweat more, she not only drank a lot of water before going out, but also deliberately wore slightly heavy clothes.
As a result, when she walked into the banquet hall, she would naturally be sweating from the heat.
If you sweat too much and it's really hot, your face will definitely turn pale.
Sweating profusely and with a pale face, anyone who sees it would be shocked.
After this series of moves, she didn't believe that the queen would really stick to her own ideas.
A smart person like the queen will choose to stop her plans once she realizes that the benefits do not match the efforts.
You have to know that although the queen held this banquet for the baby in her belly, the premise of this matter was that she must not be involved in any way. Otherwise, once it was discovered by the Fucha family, it would be difficult for her to continue to sit firmly on the throne of queen.
Even if the Fucha family couldn't touch her for a while, it would be easy to deal with the Ulanara clan.
So she didn't dare to gamble.
Originally, the Queen wanted to let Concubine Qi take action, and she was just giving some guidance from the side. For the sake of her Third Prince, Concubine Qi would naturally be willing to be a pioneer, and she would be able to remain perfectly invisible when the incident was investigated afterwards.
Moreover, Concubine Qi is stupid, so such a person will not arouse suspicion from others, and may even achieve the effect of defeating a master with random punches.
If successful, she would not only be able to get rid of the baby in Fu Cha Zhixi's belly, but also make Concubine Qi disappear completely. In this way, the Third Prince would naturally be her child.
It doesn't matter if she fails, because the matter can't be traced back to her anyway.
But now, the Queen realized that there was something obviously wrong with Fucha Zhixi, and she might want to blame her for the miscarriage in her belly.
No one knew when Fu Cha Zhixi was going to take action. To be on the safe side, she decided to suspend the plan and persuade the people to go back first.
She had to ensure that the other party could not use the baby in her belly to get close to her.
Thinking of this, the Queen looked at Fu Cha Zhixi with concern and asked.
"Xiangpin, I see you sweating so much, are you feeling unwell?"
"Your Highness, I am fine. It's just that the sun is shining brightly outside, so I am a little rude at this moment."
When Fu Cha Zhixi heard what the Queen said, she immediately realized that the other party was intimidated by her behavior and was deliberately testing her.
The other party actually fell into her trap, so she naturally would not let her prey go.
She raised her eyes and blinked in a panic, then explained sheepishly.
"You are the only one in the palace who is pregnant with the emperor's child. Plus, you are already pregnant, so you have to pay attention to everything."
"I am really worried when I see you like this. Why don't we ask the imperial physician to come and take a look at you? The weather is so hot now. Are you suffering from heat stroke, Xiangpin?"
The queen felt more and more uneasy when she heard this, so she asked tentatively.
"No need, Queen."
Fu Cha Zhixi refused anxiously.
"Today is a good day for the Queen to entertain all the sisters in the harem. I don't think there is anything wrong with my body. I just have a fever. It's better not to ask the imperial physician to come."
Fu Cha Zhixi seemed to realize that he had refused too quickly and quickly explained.
Such an abnormal appearance naturally attracted the attention of most of the concubines.
Concubine Cao and others felt something was wrong, but she chose to protect herself and did not intend to speak.
As for Zhen Huan and the others, they were a little worried, but seeing that the other party insisted, they looked at each other, worried that the other party would have some reservations, so they naturally would not take the initiative to persuade Xiangpin.
An Lingrong keenly noticed that something was wrong with her sister. Was there something wrong with this banquet that was causing her sister to act so strangely?
Although she was worried about her sister's health, her intuition told her not to say anything more at this time, so as not to ruin her sister's plans.
So she could only look at Fu Cha Zhixi with worried eyes. Only after she saw the other party secretly made a safe gesture to her did she feel relieved.
"Xiangpin, you are sweating so much. I'm afraid something is wrong. Why don't we ask the imperial physician to come and take a look? Only if there is nothing wrong can we all rest assured."
Xin Chang, who was always outspoken, began to advise.
"Thank you, Chang Xin, for your concern. I know my own body. If I let the imperial physician come to the banquet, wouldn't it ruin the fun of the sisters?"
Fu Cha Zhixi smiled faintly and looked at Xin Changzai and said.
"Yes, Concubine Xin, Concubine Xiang herself said it's okay, why are you still trying to persuade her?"
Ever since Concubine Qi heard that Fu Cha Zhixi was pregnant, she had been unable to sleep well. She was worried that if Fu Cha Zhixi gave birth to a prince, he would seize the throne from her third prince.
After all, Xiangpin was born into the Fucha family, while she was just an ordinary Han army bannerman, so the status of the little prince born would be lower than that of her third prince.
If in the future when the throne is fought for, Xiangpin's children have the support of the Fucha clan, then what help can his third prince provide?
The queen was right. As long as the other party could not give birth to this baby, her third prince would be able to ascend to the throne smoothly.
For her Third Prince, she would be willing to die.
So now that she found out that Concubine Xiang was weak, she was so happy that she didn't even have time to ask someone to call the imperial physician.
After all, if the other party could have an abortion on her own, she wouldn't have to do it, and she could spend more time with the Third Prince.
The Queen didn't expect that Concubine Qi would hold her back. She was so angry that she closed her eyes and forced herself to suppress her anger.
It seems that Xiangpin has calculated that she is going to be blamed for this pregnancy, so she must quickly find a way to clear herself of the matter before anything goes wrong.
But she was the one hosting the party, so it would be difficult for her to leave early.
She originally wanted to call the imperial physician to expose Xiangpin's cover-up, but the fool Qifei happened to talk nonsense at an inappropriate time and ruined her plan.
The Third Prince is so stupid now that he can't even memorize a book. He must have inherited his stupidity from Concubine Qi.
Now that she couldn't leave, Xiangpin had no choice but to leave.
If something happened to the other party when he returned to her palace, it wouldn't be her fault.
Thinking of this, the worry on the queen's face became more obvious.
She frowned and looked at Fu Cha Zhixi and said, "Xiangpin, you are pregnant with the emperor's child now, this is the most important thing. How can the banquet be more important than the emperor's offspring? You should ask the imperial physician to come and take a look at you."
"No need, Queen."
Fu Cha Zhixi naturally would not agree and quickly refused.
