Chapter 573 The Queen is Under House Arrest

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianyuan spoke with a sullen face.

"So you also saw Concubine An being beaten?"

Ning Shuang continued to speak after hearing this.

"Yes, when Ning Shuang approached, she heard the sound of quarreling, and then she saw Nanny Su hitting Concubine An. Concubine An was slapped first, and Concubine De was about to protect her, but was stopped by the Empress. Thinking of the child in Concubine An's belly, Ning Shuang was about to step forward to persuade the Empress, but she didn't expect Nanny Su to be so cruel. After being slapped several times in a row, Concubine An couldn't stand and fell down.

Consort De was so frightened that she screamed and jumped down. Ning Shuang rushed forward to save her, but she couldn't swim. After the guards rescued Consort An, Ning Shuang had just asked Consort An to spit out the water. "Your Majesty, you're here now. You already know what happened next."

In the bedroom, Concubine An had been properly settled, and Fuling and Nanny He were carefully wiping her body and changing her clothes.

It was not until Imperial Physician Liu came in again and took Lady An's pulse that he came out and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, although Concubine An's pulse is weak, she is no longer in danger of death. It's just that although it's spring, the water is cold, and the chill has entered her body. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to have children again..."

Upon hearing this, Defei burst into tears again.

"Doctor Liu, please think of another solution. Concubine An is still young. If she can't have children at such a young age, how will she survive this long night of materialism?"

Seeing this, Concubine Mei sighed.

"Alas, back in the day, I also had a child, but unfortunately, that child died unexpectedly. All these years, I have been unable to let it go. I even dreamed of that child asking me why I didn't protect him. For a long time, I lived like a walking corpse. I'm afraid that Noble Lady An will be heartbroken for a long time to come."

Concubine De kowtowed deeply to Emperor Tianyuan.

"Your Majesty, I have failed to fulfill your trust and have not taken good care of the dragon fetus. I am unfit to assist in the management of the six palaces. Please revoke my authority to manage the six palaces. From now on, I am willing to take care of Concubine An every day until she recovers. Please also make the decision for Concubine An. After all, she is young and now has no children. I beg Your Majesty to give her justice."

At this time, a sound was heard from the room.

"The noble man has woken up..."

Then Nanny He came out.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine An has woken up."

Defei no longer cared about pursuing the Queen and hurriedly spoke to the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, please go and see Concubine An. She has only been in the palace for a short time, and her heart and eyes are filled with Your Majesty. If she could see Your Majesty now, she might feel better."

Emperor Tianyuan nodded upon hearing this, then stood up and walked towards the inner room.

As I walked into the bedroom, a faint medicinal fragrance filled the air. An Guiren's face was still pale, but her eyes had regained some clarity.

When she saw Emperor Tianyuan walk in, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall, and just looked at the emperor with eyes full of resentment and expectation.

"emperor……"

An Guiren called out weakly, her voice filled with endless grievance and sorrow.

Emperor Tianyuan quickly walked to the bedside, gently held her hand, and comforted her gently.

"Ruxia, you've suffered, but we will have children in the future."

When An Guiren heard this, she couldn't help but shed tears and choked.

"Your Majesty, that is the child I have been looking forward to day and night..."

Tears fell uncontrollably like beads from a broken string, wetting my clothes.

Emperor Tianyuan sighed softly and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"This is not your fault. I failed to protect you. Just rest and recover."

Feeling her helplessness and pain, Emperor Tianyuan said to Doctor Liu.

"Doctor Liu, the future care of Lady An is now in your hands. Please ensure she recovers as soon as possible."

Doctor Liu quickly bowed in agreement.

"I will do my best to live up to the emperor's trust."

The atmosphere in the whole room was very depressing because of Concubine An's sad cries.

The queen also came in and looked at the scene, then spoke a word of comfort.

"Mrs. An, please accept my condolences. You will have children in the future."

Upon hearing this, Concubine An looked at the Queen with hatred in her eyes.

"There will be more children? Are you going to brush this matter off with just a few words, Empress? Or is it that in your heart, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is precious, and the children of other concubines are like grass? Or is it that in your eyes, except for your child, no other child is worthy of being born?"

The Queen spoke with a hint of anger on her face.

"Shut up, Lady An. I think you've gone insane. Now that you've lost the child, rest and recuperate. Stop talking nonsense here."

Liang Ruxia's eyes lost all luster when she heard this, and she laughed in despair.

"Hahahaha, as expected, once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. The fate of the women in this palace is not in their control. I'm just a small noble. Even if I give birth to a dragon fetus, even if I give birth to a prince, the child is so young, it won't affect the Empress. Why are you so cruel to my child?"

The queen frowned when she heard this.

"Anguiren......"

Upon seeing this, Concubine De spoke hurriedly.

"Empress, please consider this as a plea from me. Please don't provoke her anymore. I know that Your Majesty has been exhausted recently because of the Crown Prince's affairs, which is why she is a little angry. I understand Your Majesty's sadness, but Concubine An is now so weak. Your Majesty, please consider that she just didn't have a child and don't bother with her anymore. If you are still angry, Your Majesty."

As he said this, he knelt down in front of the queen.

"If you want to be beaten or punished, I will accept it. Lady An is still young and ignorant, so please don't bother with her."

Emperor Tianyuan looked at the kneeling Concubine De and spoke slowly.

"This is not your fault, Concubine De, please get up."

Then he looked at the queen with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"Queen, you and I have been married for many years. I have turned a blind eye to some things and have always considered your dignity as the Queen. Now it seems that the respect I have given you has made you even more arrogant."

Upon hearing this, the Queen hurriedly knelt down, looked up at Emperor Tianyuan, and spoke pleadingly.

"Your Majesty, I have no right to defend myself in this matter, but please believe me. I absolutely have no intention of causing Concubine An to have a miscarriage..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianyuan spoke in a cold voice.

"You feel you have no way to defend yourself? Of course you do. After all, facts speak louder than words. As the Queen, you have harmed the concubines and failed to take care of the harem. This is a lack of virtue and has wasted my trust in you. Since you can't manage this harem, you don't have to do it anymore. From today on, you don't have to hold the Phoenix Seal anymore. You will be confined to Fengyi Palace."
