Chapter 200 Jiang's Panic

Concubine Jiang stretched out her bony hand and tugged at Father Jiang's sleeve, muttering, "Father, what should we do if the Emperor and the Empress find out about that? What should we do?"

Father Jiang was startled and asked hurriedly, "What did the Emperor and Empress know?"

Jiang Jieyu burst into tears and spoke incoherently, "Back then...back then...I used the abortion drug my father secretly sent me on Shen, and then falsely accused the Empress...Now everything is over...The Emperor and the Empress must know...They won't let their daughter go..."

Father Jiang pieced together some things from her fragmented words.

He was shocked beyond words.

He just thought that the medicine was used by his daughter on the concubine, but he didn't expect that she set up such a big plan.

And it was exposed!

Father Jiang's heart was in his throat, but seeing his extremely panicked daughter, he had no choice but to comfort her slowly first and then find out the truth carefully.

Thinking of this, Father Jiang gently stroked her back and said, "Yingxue, don't worry."

After a while, Concubine Jiang felt much better, but her eyes were still red and she was crying.

"Here's what happened..."

Concubine Jiang recounted the events of that year in full and also repeated what Shen had said that day.

"Father, what should I do? What should we do?"

Father Jiang wanted to deceive himself at first: "Your Majesty, the Empress still let you be a concubine. Maybe it's just a guess, not a confirmation that it was you who did it."

Jiang Jieyu cried and shook her head, breaking down and saying,

"It's confirmed. My daughter had a miscarriage last year, and it was the Queen who caused it! To avenge my daughter, she bribed everyone around her, just like my daughter did back then!"

"The Emperor must have known about this, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately murdered Concubine De and her son, even though his daughter clearly had no hand in it. He even demoted her rank.

"Father, please take a closer look! The Empress is sparing her daughter's life and slowly torturing her!"

"My daughter doesn't want to die. Please think of a way, please think of a way!"

Father Jiang finally realized the reality. He was so scared that his whole body was shaking, and he didn't dare to think about the consequences of this matter.

"Yingxue, the Jiang family has been dragged down to the end by you!"

"Let me...think carefully about it..."

The next morning.

The emperor and his concubine were dressed neatly and were about to take Xiao Si to find the imperial concubine.

Unexpectedly, a woman's crying was heard outside Chaoyang Palace.

"Your humble servant, Li, begs to see the Emperor!"

The emperor and his concubine looked at each other and walked out of the palace side by side.

There was a figure kneeling at the entrance of the hall. It was Li Xiuyuan.

Xie Chen had someone help her up, then asked, "Li Xiuyuan, is there something important that you want to see me about?"

Li Xiuyuan cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, Yu Shi suddenly developed a high fever last night. I have sought the services of several imperial physicians, but none of them were able to reduce his fever. This morning, the Empress sent two deputy court judges, but they were also unable to help. Therefore, I am requesting an audience this time, hoping that Your Majesty will appoint Court Judge Xia."

Hearing that the Third Prince had a high fever, Xie Chen frowned and ordered Liang Yao, "Go find Judge Xia."

Li Xiuyuan lifted her skirt and knelt down: "I bow to thank the Holy Lord for his grace."

Xie Chen waved his hand and said, "Hurry back to the palace to look after Yu Shi."

Li Xiuyuan left in a hurry.

Chaoyang Palace returned to silence.

Pei Tingyue looked up and said, "Your Majesty, please go and take a look. After I send Yuzhou off, I will go and take a look too."

Xie Chen sighed.

If it were any other prince, there would be no need to be too afraid if they had a high fever.

But it happened to be Yu Shi.

This child has had a difficult life since she was conceived.

First, Li Xiuyuan had a baby in her belly, and then she gave birth prematurely due to congenital deficiencies.

Now he has a high fever, I'm afraid the situation is not good.

"Okay, then I'll go first, and you can come find me later."

Pei Tingyue nodded.

She took Xiao Si to Xianyuxuan alone.

The hall was quiet.

When I went in to look for her, I found that the imperial concubine was still sleeping and had not woken up yet.

Pei Tingyue laughed and put Xiao Si next to her.

He took out the banknote again and quietly stuffed it at the bottom of her big box.

After doing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief, picked up Tuan Tuan and gave him a good kiss.

After a while, a lazy voice sounded from the bed, "You're here."

Pei Tingyue smiled as she hooked the gauze curtains, sat on the edge of the bed, and said, "Yes, our Zhou Zhou likes the Empress and wants to rely on her."

Concubine Song pulled Xiao Si closer, pinched his little face, leaned sideways and asked, "Do you miss me?"

Xiao Si smiled foolishly.

Concubine Song looked at him worriedly: "When will you grow up? I've raised you for so many days, but you haven't grown a single day."

Pei Tingyue retorted: "It has grown. Yesterday at the banquet, everyone said that our Zhou Zhou was so big. But the Queen sees him every day, so she doesn't notice it."

Concubine Song smiled: "Is that so?"

Pei Tingyue nodded: "Yes."

After chatting for a few minutes, Pei Tingyue said goodbye and left.

Concubine Song raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Is there something to eat in my palace?"

Pei Tingyue restrained his expression and said, "The Third Prince has had a high fever overnight. We have to go and see him."

Concubine Song didn't expect this, and immediately stopped laughing: "Then go ahead."

Pei Tingyue took people to Furong Pavilion, the residence of Li Xiuyuan and her son.

There were already many concubines in the hall, all wiping their tears with handkerchiefs.

The emperor and empress were both there. When they saw her coming, they had someone bring a stool over for her.

Pei Tingyue sat down and looked up at the couch.

Judge Xia was using a needle. The Third Prince was pricked by the needle, but he couldn't even cry and had no big reaction.

Li Xiuyuan cried sadly and sat by the couch watching.

After a long moment, the Third Prince showed no reaction. Judge Xia withdrew the needle, smiled bitterly, and shook his head, "I am guilty. Your Majesty, please punish me."

The emperor and empress had no time to speak.

Li Xiuyuan rushed over crying, "President Xia, I know you must have a way. My son Yushi is still so young. He hasn't even called me father, emperor, or mother yet. Please think of a way!"

Xia Yuanpan said in embarrassment, "It is true that the Third Prince is weak, and I have no better solution."

After hearing this, Queen Cui sighed and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes.

Before coming to the palace, she reminded Li Xiuyuan that the third prince was weak and it was better for him to stay in the palace to recuperate.

But Li Xiuyuan insisted on coming along.

Before the banquet yesterday, she also summoned Li Xiuyuan over, saying that the wind was too strong at the Lakeside Pavilion and that the Third Prince should not attend.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan still came out holding the third prince.

Now he has a high fever and is crying like this again.

It's true that one wrong step leads to all wrong steps!

Only Xie Chen noticed something different. He lowered his eyes, pondered for a long time, and then slowly asked, "What about the bad method?"

Judge Xia glanced at the Third Prince and said in a panic, "This poisonous medicine will harm the Third Prince's body. He might become disabled and bedridden for the rest of his life."

"No……"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's eyes rolled back and she fainted.

There was another commotion in the hall.

Only after Li Xiuyuan was given acupuncture did she slowly wake up.

Xie Chen closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, he spoke.

"Can."

After hearing this, Li Xiuyuan actually spat out a mouthful of blood.
