The emperor's first reaction was absurdity.

During the past few months of Xu Lingyi's pregnancy, the imperial physicians said that her pregnancy was going well, and that this time her pulse was even better than the previous one.

He and the Queen Mother were looking forward to the baby in Xu Lingyi's belly. They believed that in just a few months, he would have another prince.

Even the court officials were dissatisfied with the queen living in his bedroom, but when they knew that the queen was pregnant, they knew what was going on and didn't say anything.

Everyone knew that he and the Queen Mother valued Xu's pregnancy.

"Xu was fine before I came to court. But after just one morning, she had a miscarriage? You bastard, what on earth is going on?"

Manager Zhang's body was shaking constantly, and he fell down several times in panic on the way.

As the emperor's most trusted eunuch, Zhang Zongguan knew very well how much the emperor valued his children.

So before informing the emperor, he was full of anxiety, but he also knew that he could not delay this matter at all.

"It was Princess Minghua. Today, she suddenly rushed out from the bushes with a sword. Although she didn't stab the queen, she still threw her into the lake!"

The moment Princess Minghua suddenly jumped out, they were all startled.

She held the sword and was about to stab Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi had many maids and nannies around her, and the palace was actually always very safe. Even when the emperor walked around the palace, he sometimes did not have guards following him at all times.

The same was true for Xu Lingyi. Moreover, she knew that Princess Minghua was going to take action, so she naturally would not bring any guards with her. Only two secret guards followed not far away.

I heard that the Queen Mother has been ill in bed in recent days, so she is going to visit her today.

This is also the opportunity she gives to Princess Minghua.

Fortunately, Princess Minghua was not stupid enough and she caught it.

Although the secret guards blocked Princess Minghua's sword, they, including the palace maids and nannies, were all concerned about Princess Minghua's identity. After all, they still remembered that Princess Minghua had been favored for more than ten years.

On the other hand, Princess Minghua was fearless. She was crazy and desperate. She wanted Xu Lingyi to die.

In such a situation, Princess Minghua easily seized the opportunity.

When she bumped into Xu Lingyi, she thought that it was icy and snowy now, and if she fell into the lake, she would probably freeze to death. Even if she was rescued, the evil child in her belly would probably die.

She is already like this now, it is worth it to be able to take revenge on Xu Lingyi.

Manager Zhang didn't say anything else after that.

The emperor still couldn't accept it in his heart, or he simply didn't want to accept it, even though he knew that Zhang Zongguan wouldn't dare to fabricate such a thing, but he still had illusions without seeing it with his own eyes.

When the emperor arrived, he happened to see the clothes that Nanny Zhang was holding. They were the clothes that Xu Lingyi had worn in the morning. Her belly was a little visible, and she said that the clothes were a little small.

At this moment, the plain clothes were stained with bright red blood.

There was a heater in the hall at the moment, and it was obviously warm, but the emperor felt freezing cold.

"The Queen."

The emperor walked into the inner hall.

He saw Xu Lingyi lying on the bed with a dead heart, tears silently flowing from her eyes and sobbing softly.

When she saw the emperor coming, Xu Lingyi could no longer hold back and broke down crying.

"Your Majesty!" Her voice was hoarse and choked, and her crying became louder and louder.

The emperor held her hand, and for the first time since she became pregnant, her hand was frighteningly cold.

"Your Majesty, our child is gone!" Xu Lingyi stared at the emperor in a trance.

The emperor was also heartbroken, but he was the queen's husband and also the emperor.

His status as emperor made it rare for him to lose his composure.

The emperor suppressed the agonizing pain in his heart. He hugged Xu and soothed her softly, "Don't cry. We will have children again in the future."

Xu Lingyi refused to accept it. She raised her head, her face wet with tears, her voice choked with sobs: "But Your Majesty, this child will never come back. Even if we have another child in the future, it won't be him. The imperial physician said it will be a prince. You can forget this child, but I cannot."

The emperor knew that she was devastated and speechless at the moment, so he quickly hugged her and said, "I know, I didn't mean that. How could I forget this child? He is my blood."

When the emperor heard that it was a prince, he felt extremely sad. He had only had one prince in all his years on the throne.

Finally, there is another prince, but...

The emperor's eyes turned red, and thinking of the unborn child, he felt endless regret in his heart.

He never thought that the evil consequences of indulging Princess Minghua would backfire on him, making him so heartbroken and regretting all the doting he had on Minghua.

"If Your Majesty truly wants to make me feel better, please punish Princess Minghua. If it weren't for the princess, if it weren't for her, my child would still be here... I really don't understand why the princess wants to harm me again and again. She attacked Xier before she was born, and Xier was lucky enough to survive. But now there's the child in my belly! If I get pregnant with Your Majesty's child again in the future, will the princess still do what she did today, and will she still want to kill me at all costs..."

Xu Lingyi seemed to think of this possibility, her face turned pale and showed fear. For the first time, she expressed her hatred for Princess Minghua in front of the emperor.

The emperor hugged the trembling Xu Lingyi tightly. How could he not hate her? The father-daughter relationship between him and Princess Minghua had been exhausted by her time and time again.

All his soft feelings towards her vanished into thin air at this moment.

"I will definitely give you and the emperor an explanation for this matter."

The emperor promised, his voice choked with sobs: "The Queen and I feel the same."

Even his grief was greater.

In the past, he could only have a prince in his dreams. Although he now has Xier, it does not mean that he does not care about another prince.
