call

I let out a breath, and the stuffiness caused by the poor air circulation was relieved a lot.

Chen Yuwei simply found a seat, patted her chest lightly, and gestured for Xia He to bring her a cup of hot tea.

The steaming hot tea carried a fragrant aroma. Chen Yuwei took a couple of sips to moisten her lips and was about to chat with Xia He when she suddenly heard a furious shout from behind her, followed by a series of apologies and pleas for mercy.

It's the Empress Dowager!

The Empress Dowager's anger suggests that Consort Hui's pulse diagnosis might be in serious trouble.

"Your Majesty"

Xia He looked nervous, supporting Chen Yuwei with her hand, her eyes constantly glancing behind her.

Standing up and turning her head, Chen Yuwei saw a large group of people emerge before she could even get close.

All the concubines were in the inner chambers, each with their heads bowed and eyes downcast, like wilted eggplants.

Heh, that's interesting.

The Empress Dowager came out last, with the Empress reaching out to support her.

"Summoning all the imperial physicians waiting in the side hall is simply outrageous!"

The Empress Dowager had a prosperous appearance, and her angry look made her look even more ferocious.

Upon hearing this, the Empress gestured for Donghan to make arrangements quickly, while she reassured him and told the imperial physician kneeling in the distance to leave immediately.

For a moment, only the Empress Dowager's voice could be heard inside and outside the room.

It was only after overhearing a few idle words that Chen Yuwei learned why the Empress Dowager was so angry. It turned out that the imperial physician's diagnosis of Consort Hui was too ordinary; there were no traces of drugging, no signs of poisoning, and no signs of accidental injury. Consort Hui had simply suffered a miscarriage.

Yes, it's one of those situations where the child was lost for no apparent reason.

The Empress Dowager, who had already devoted so much effort to Consort Hui, was naturally not satisfied with such a diagnosis.

It should be known that Consort Hui's miscarriage was a foregone conclusion. The Empress Dowager's current grand summoning of the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital for diagnosis was merely an attempt to find a pretext to exacerbate the situation, hoping to successfully save the remaining Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi.

It's not just Consort Hui who's pregnant in the Niohuru clan. Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi are almost five months pregnant. If they just hold on a little longer, it will be time to determine the sex of the baby. What if another Consort Hui incident happens?

Most people present could understand the Empress Dowager's thoughts. After all, the sudden loss of a young prince, especially in such an inexplicable way, was bound to cause unease and suspicion.

Chen Yuwei didn't go up to the Empress Dowager to cause her any trouble; she continued to sit and wait for news.

The imperial physicians, who had been temporarily housed in a side hall, entered one by one to diagnose Consort Hui.

Unfortunately, the diagnosis results were all similar. In short, Consort Hui's health was fine, and there were no suspicious points in the pulse record before the miscarriage. The reason why Consort Hui miscarried at this time was likely due to other hidden reasons.

However, judging from the normal procedures for various forms of persecution, Consort Hui does not fall under any of the above circumstances.

"Your Majesty, I am a humble subject with limited knowledge and skills. Please forgive me."

The head of the Imperial Medical Academy, who was also the highest-ranking official in the academy, trembled as he begged the Empress Dowager for mercy.

Regarding Consort Hui's miscarriage, the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital were completely honest, admitting they couldn't find any useful information and were therefore incompetent.

Empress Dowager: ...

The Empress Dowager was so angry that her chest ached, and she almost fainted while holding onto the Empress's wrist.

Empress: ...

“Your Majesty, please don’t be angry. Perhaps what happened to Consort Hui was just an accident.”

The Empress gently patted the Empress Dowager's back while instructing the kneeling court official to quickly take the Empress Dowager's pulse.

It doesn't matter whether Consort Hui inside lives or dies, but the Empress Dowager cannot be harmed.

The judge was very sensible at this time and quickly came over with his small medicine box.

After a long and drawn-out discussion, they simply said that the Empress Dowager was suffering from a sudden surge of anger and would be fine after a while.

"Physician Zhang, you may leave now," the Empress said softly, turning her head. She then summoned Donghan and said, "Go and see Physician Zhang off. Remember to prescribe medicine for Consort Hui."

It was winter, so he reached out his hand as if to ask permission to see Physician Zhang off.

Now that the person has left, the Empress Dowager still needs time to recover.

Helpless, the Empress could only become a caring daughter, personally taking care of everything.

Only after the Empress Dowager calmed down did the Empress have a chance to massage her aching wrists.

"Your Majesty,

"I am fine, Your Majesty. You may take them back first. I will stay here to keep Huixin company."

Consort Hui's name was Niohuru Huixin. She was someone favored by the Empress Dowager and the wife of the Niohuru clan chief.

As if she had aged several years out of nowhere, the Empress Dowager's once straight back gradually hunched over.

After hesitating for a moment, the Empress replied "Yes," then turned and led the group of people who had come to make up the numbers and serve as background figures away.

Chen Yuwei was in the departing group, and she stayed extremely far away the whole time. If she hadn't been able to listen in through the system, she probably wouldn't have known what had just happened.

Not counting the distance between the tatami room and the chairs in the main hall, there is also a thick screen between them. Without some special means, one would really become just a background figure.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? You come all this way and you don't know anything."

"Who says otherwise? We rushed here in a hurry, but these imperial physicians couldn't diagnose anything and just made things difficult for us."

"Shh, maybe it's not that we can't diagnose it, it's just that it's not easy to say in front of everyone."

"Oh, is that so? The Empress Dowager doesn't seem to think so."

"Stop talking and hurry back to the palace. This has nothing to do with us."

"Yes, yes, you're right. I was confused and talked nonsense."

"..."

Chen Yuwei lowered her head, her hand resting on Xia He's forearm. At this moment, they were several feet away from the group of concubines in front of them.

Chen Yuwei listened to her colleagues chattering away, thanks to the system's capabilities.

He was about to utter some outrageous words when, fortunately, a clever person stopped him.
