Chapter 134 Aci, are you pregnant?
Looking at Su Ci sitting in the first seat and Empress Dowager Gao standing beside her, Nanny Ning didn't think she was wrong.

Even though Su Ci was the queen, the Empress Dowager was still her elder. Su Ci had always been disrespectful to the Empress Dowager, so she instigated her master to harm Su Ci.

Unfortunately, her evil plan was discovered by Su Ci.

Soon all the palace maids serving in Ci'an Palace were brought over. Qi Xi repeated the meaning of Su's poem again before ordering the executioner to carry out the execution.

For a moment, screams were heard in Ci'an Palace.

There were many people in Ci'an Palace who changed their minds according to the situation. Seeing that the situation was not right, someone soon shouted to Su Ci: "I heard with my own ears that Nanny Ning ordered Nanny Qiu to poison, but I didn't hear clearly who was being poisoned."

After someone was the first to stand up and testify against Nanny Ning, others followed suit, and for a moment all the criticism was directed at Nanny Ning.

Empress Dowager Gao was disheartened when she saw this scene. She said in a hoarse voice, "Queen, you have been tortured into confessing. Your testimony cannot be counted."

Su Ci smiled faintly: "With so many people pointing the finger at Ci'an Palace, is this all the Empress Dowager has to say? They are all from Ci'an Palace, which means they are the Empress Dowager's people. If they all point the finger at Ci'an Palace, it means there is something wrong with Ci'an Palace."

Nanny Ning stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "This has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager. I can't stand the Empress' disrespect for the Empress Dowager, so I bribed Nanny Qiu to find an opportunity to attack the Empress Dowager. This is all my fault. Please, Empress Dowager, for the sake of Your Majesty, don't drag the Empress Dowager into this."

At this point, Nanny Ning knelt down in front of Empress Dowager Gao and said, "I feel so ashamed of myself, Your Majesty. I'm sorry that I can no longer serve you..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly rushed towards the wooden pillar in the hall and hit it hard, causing her head to bleed.

When Su Ci smelled the blood, his chest was churning and he almost vomited.

Si Xue immediately noticed that Su Ci's face looked a little off, and asked hurriedly, "Is the queen okay?"

Su Ci stood up: "Bad luck! Let's go back to Kunning Palace."

Qi Xi was stunned when he saw this: "Then the Queen Mother..."

"Let's wait for His Majesty to come back to deal with this matter. I'll be leaving first." Su Ci said, and hurriedly left the hall filled with the smell of blood.

When Empress Dowager Gao saw Nanny Ning lying in a pool of blood, her eyes turned red.

Nanny Ning had served her for many years, like a shadow beside her, and suddenly she was gone.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Gao suddenly seemed to have aged ten years.

That evening, Su Ci heard that Empress Dowager Gao had fallen ill. She didn't know whether Empress Dowager Gao was really ill or faking it, but she was sure that Nanny Ning's death was a heavy blow to Empress Dowager Gao.

She didn't care about this matter. After all, she should take good care of her pregnancy before Zhao Shizhu returned to the palace.

Zhao Shizhu returned to the palace half a month later.

Qi Xi immediately told him what had happened in the palace recently, and also told him about Aunt Qiu's plan to poison Su Ci.

"If you have anything else to say, tell me all at once." Zhao Shizhu saw Qi Xi's hesitation and gave him an order.

Qixi did not dare to look Zhao Shizhu in the eye, and lowered her head and replied: "The Queen Mother insisted on helping His Majesty select the concubines. The first batch of concubines from the capital have moved into the Chuxiu Palace, and more concubines will enter the palace one after another."

Zhao Shizhu laughed angrily when he heard this: "It's been several years, and my mother is still as worried about my harem as before. So, what is Su Ci's reaction?"

"The Queen Mother has been to Chuxiu Palace once. Since the poisoning incident, she has rarely left Kunning Palace. The Queen Mother eats and sleeps every day and doesn't seem to have any worries." Qi Xi answered truthfully.

Zhao Shizhu was silent for a long time: "She is generous, so there seems to be nothing wrong with this."

He couldn't expect this woman to miss him madly after he left.

After that, he took a bath before going to the dormitory to find Su Ci.

Su Ci was sleeping soundly, but suddenly she felt someone was looking at her. When she opened her eyes and met Zhao Shizhu's smiling eyes, her sleepiness disappeared at that moment. "You're back?" Su Ci touched Zhao Shizhu's face and felt the warmth, which meant she was not dreaming.

Zhao Shizhu rubbed her palm, and all his fatigue disappeared after seeing Su Ci's face.

Su Ci grabbed Zhao Shizhu's hand and touched her belly, but Zhao Shizhu was not a man who understood romance and was afraid that he would disturb her rest: "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

How could Su Ci still feel sleepy?

She moved his hand towards her belly again: "Do you feel any difference?"

Zhao Shizhu gently pinched her belly: "Have you gained weight?"

Hearing Qixi say that she eats and drinks all day long, it’s not surprising that she would gain weight.

Su Ci laughed angrily when he heard this: "You have indeed gained weight. I wanted to give you a surprise, but you said something so irritating. Zhao Shizhu, your surprise is gone."

Zhao Shizhu didn't understand why Su Ci was angry. Was it because he said she was fat?

He looked at her belly, but still saw no surprise.

After Su Ci, he took a nap and felt refreshed when he woke up.

Zhao Shizhu had been waiting for her at the dining table. Only when he saw Su Ci eating with his own eyes did he understand what it meant for her to be able to eat.

This girl really eats too much.

He subconsciously looked at the girl's belly. Why did she let him touch her belly before?

There was some information trying to escape from my mind, but it just fell short.

"Are you still eating?" Seeing that Su Ci had finished two bowls and was still eating, Zhao Shizhu couldn't help but ask.

"Can't you eat more if you're not full?" Su Ci replied unhappily.

She wanted to see when this man would realize that he was a father.

Zhao Shizhu watched Su Ci continue to eat and wanted to say something, but he finally held it back.

Qi Xi couldn't help but whisper to Zhao Shizhu: "The Queen has been eating so much at every meal recently."

Zhao Shizhu turned to look at Qixi and asked, "Is she okay like this? Has Zheng Wei checked Ah Ci's pulse?"

Qi Xi shook her head truthfully: "The queen said that she is in good health and does not want to check her pulse."

Your Majesty is not in the palace, who can be more powerful than the Empress? So the matter of diagnosing Ping An's pulse has never been accomplished.

"I always feel like something is wrong." Zhao Shizhu felt like he had missed some important information.

Su Ci listened carefully from the side, and she said with a smile: "I'm fine anyway, I can't be any better."

Just then, someone brought up a fish dish, which was Zhao Shizhu's favorite dish. Su Ci couldn't stand it when he saw it: "Take this dish away quickly!"

It's not that she feels like vomiting when she smells it, but she thinks of the fishy smell when she sees fish.

She was fine and had no pregnancy symptoms, so apart from Su Hua, no one else knew that she was pregnant.

Zhao Shizhu looked at Su Ci's refusal to fish, and suddenly an incredible thought flashed through his mind. He asked in disbelief, "Ah Ci, are you pregnant?"
