The scene suddenly became chaotic, and Concubine Zhao's face suddenly became painful. She covered her stomach tightly with both hands, and was in so much pain that she couldn't open her mouth.

"My belly."

It was extremely difficult to say those few words, and Rong Xi was pulled up by Zhizi and examined.

These are the two most precious people in the palace. If anything happens here, someone will run to tell the emperor.

Concubine Zhao was quickly taken back to the palace, leaving a pool of blood where she fell.

When the emperor arrived, Rong Xi was waiting outside.

Seeing the emperor coming, Rong Xi hurried forward and admitted his mistake immediately.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This happened because I didn't stand firmly and bumped into the Imperial Concubine."

Hearing the sound, Lin Dong hurried out and knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Your Majesty, please help our queen. It was Concubine Rong who deliberately pushed our queen to harm the child in her belly."

When Rong Xi heard this, he looked at the emperor with tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I really didn't mean it."

Rong Xi looked so speechless that the emperor felt sorry for him.

"Xi'er, wait a minute. I'll first see how the imperial concubine is doing."

The emperor walked in, but was stopped at the door by several imperial doctors who told him that he could not go in.

As for Lin Dong, she saw that His Majesty was about to lightly cover up the matter, so she knelt down and crawled to the emperor's side.

"Your Majesty, everything this servant said is true. Concubine Rong has ulterior motives. She pushed our queen. Your Majesty, please take charge of our queen."

Rong Xi didn't expect that Lin Dong was a protector of his master.

Gardenia, standing by, was not willing to be outdone and also knelt before the emperor.

"Your Majesty, she is making a false accusation. Our Empress and Concubine Ning had agreed to go to the Imperial Gardens for a stroll today. Halfway through their journey, they saw the Imperial Concubine. Our Empress simply went up to greet her, but the Imperial Concubine threatened our Empress, saying that even if our Empress was pregnant, she was just the daughter of a minor official, and that giving birth to the child was a real achievement. Our Empress has repeatedly tolerated this."

"But the Imperial Concubine refused to give in and even asked the maids around her to humiliate our Empress. She slipped during the tug-of-war. Our Empress did not push the Imperial Concubine. Your Majesty, please be clear-headed."

Each side had its own opinion, but the emperor obviously believed what Zhizi said. Although Rong Xi had an eccentric personality, he was kind-hearted and would never do such a thing.

However, although he believed it in his heart, he still had to look at the evidence.

With a simple gesture, everyone in the Imperial Garden today was brought to Zhaoyang Palace.

Taking advantage of this time, the imperial physician also examined Rong Xi.

Seeing the imperial physician's increasingly furrowed brow, the emperor's heart trembled.

"Imperial Physician, how is Concubine Rong?"

The imperial physician examined the patient carefully again before answering the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong has a small amount of musk in her body."

Then he turned to Rong Xi and said, "My Lady, are you feeling unwell?"

Rong Xi looked at the emperor and then nodded slightly.

"Yes, I do have some abdominal pain."

The emperor's expression changed drastically. "Xi'er, why didn't you tell me you were feeling unwell?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid your Majesty won't believe me."

Rong Xi was about to cry as she spoke, and the emperor hurried to comfort her.

"I trust you. Let's go to the side hall and let the imperial physician take a good look."

Rong Xi was examined thoroughly by the nanny, but no musk was found on his body.

And Ning Fei, who had been waiting for so long, finally appeared in front of everyone.

Lindong was still crying and wanted the emperor to give justice to Concubine Zhao, but was kicked to the ground by Concubine Ning.

"You are talking nonsense. Was it your own idea or your master's idea for you to slander Concubine Rong like this?"

After kneeling down to salute, Concubine Ning asked the palace maid beside her to hand her a gold bracelet wrapped in a handkerchief, which contained a few small black balls.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Concubine Rong will not dismiss Concubine Gui. She is pregnant herself, how could she dare to take such a risk?"

"What is this?"

The emperor looked at the bracelet in the maid's hand and his face gradually turned dark.

He knew about this thing, every concubine in the harem wore one.

The reason he asked this was because he wanted to know why the bracelet appeared here and why it looked like this.

"Your Majesty, this is what I saw in the pavilion. I rushed there after hearing that the two ladies were in trouble, but when I arrived, they had already left. Only this huge gold bracelet was left on the ground. I wanted to take it back to see who it belonged to, but I saw this on the ground."

Concubine Ning reached out to take out the black pill. The emperor glanced at her and the imperial physician beside her came over to check. If they hadn't checked, they wouldn't have known what was wrong. Once they checked, they retreated again and again.

"Your Majesty, this is musk, and the concentration is extremely high. Wearing it for a long time may prevent pregnancy."

The emperor already had a guess in his mind, "Let Zhizi, who is beside Concubine Rong, come over to identify her."

Jin Su hurried over to call the person over, but Zhizi's face was still full of worry.

"Gardenia, do you recognize this thing?"

The emperor did not put the pills in front of her, and now there was only a broken bracelet on the tray.

"Your Majesty, this belongs to our queen. Perhaps it was dropped during the chaos just now."

"Are you sure this belongs to your mother?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen loves this bracelet very much. But one time when she took it off to bathe, it fell to the ground and left a mark. The Queen was very distressed and has carefully protected it since then, only taking it out to wear when she wears nice clothes."

The emperor was with Rong Xi every day and knew that what Zhizi said was true.

"Then you know there's musk hidden in it."

Gardenia only reacted for a moment before she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please be aware. This wasn't done by our queen. How could our queen harm herself?"

Jin Su was speechless. Why did Gardenia think differently from others? Normally, people would be put there by others to harm their own masters.

The emperor already understood what was going on. After asking Zhizi to go back and take care of Rongxi, he looked at the bracelet on Concubine Ning's hand.

Concubine Ning understood and took it down and handed it to Jinsu.

After a while, the mechanism of the bracelet was opened, and musk pills were found inside.

Concubine Ning took a few steps back in disbelief, as if she had just heard this for the first time.

"Your Majesty, this is why I haven't conceived your Majesty's child in all these years."

The emperor finally lost his composure and the teacup on the table fell to the ground. Only he knew how much he wanted a child all these years, but in the end it was the people around him who did something behind his back.

"Okay, very good. Put everyone in Zhaoyang Palace under arrest and interrogate them severely, especially her."

The emperor specifically pointed at Lindong, who was still kneeling on the ground and asking him to make the decision. Lindong's face turned pale, but he still cried out that he was wronged.

"Have someone invite the families of all the people in the Imperial Hospital to the palace for me."

"yes!"

He didn't believe that the imperial physicians had no involvement in this matter. How could they not have discovered this when they had to check the concubines' pulses every month?

After arranging these things, the imperial physician came out.
