"Then why don't I accompany Consort Chen to take another look at those vibrant red plum blossoms? Those tiny specks of red are truly beautiful!"

Like a drop of blood falling on snow, dazzling and eye-catching, Consort Yi affectionately stepped forward to touch Wan Yi's wrist, but Wan Yi dodged away.

"Enjoying the plum blossoms as is is fine. Although I am a Noble Consort, I am far from needing a Noble Lady to serve me. Noble Lady Yi, please don't lower yourself to compete with that servant for work!"

I have plenty of servants to serve me. Don't touch me inappropriately. You can tell at a glance that you have ill intentions, yet you pretend to be familiar with me. You disgusting creatures.

"The sisters in the harem are like one family; it's only right for a younger sister to help her older sister," Consort Yi said with a forced smile, though a surge of anger rose within her, especially as she looked at Consort Chen's exquisite face. Suddenly, a wicked thought crossed her mind, and she quickly reached out her hand.

"Does Consort Yi not understand human speech?" Wan Yi, who was paying close attention, naturally noticed Consort Yi's actions and grabbed her hand.

"I just wanted to help you up, sister. You're overthinking it!" Anyway, I haven't hurt her yet, so it's up to her to decide what to say. With such a beautiful face, I really wanted to destroy her just now. Then she would be the only one in the harem who looks like that, and the Emperor would only fall for me.

"In my opinion, this is not something you should be supporting! You are committing insubordination, do you know your crime?!" You want to push her? You don't even know if you're qualified!

“Your Highness, over there…” Consort Yi was about to retort when Wan Yi lifted her hand, causing her to fall backward.

"Ah! My stomach hurts so much..." Wanyi vaguely saw the hem of Emperor Ming's skirt, which is why she did this. Anyway, Consort Yi originally wanted to push her, so it wasn't unfair to her.

"I didn't mean to!" Consort Yi stared blankly at the fallen Consort Wan, completely bewildered. She had wanted to push her, but what was this all about?

"Wan'er~, Wan'er, how are you?" It wasn't until Kangxi appeared that Consort Yi realized she had been tricked and was doomed!

"Your Majesty, I did not push Consort Chen, really, I tried to pull her!" Consort Yi thought she could seize the initiative and settle the matter first.

"Your Majesty, my stomach hurts~" Wanyi grabbed Kangxi's hand, not bothering to argue with Consort Yi, and large tears fell down her face. She looked pitiful, a far cry from the usual aloof and superior demeanor of Consort Chen.

"Quickly fetch the imperial physician, I'll carry you back!" Kangxi said as he picked up Wanyi in his arms and passed by Consort Yi kneeling on the ground, looking at her as if she were dead.

"If anything happens to Consort Ruochen, I will make your whole family pay with their lives!" Kangxi didn't care whether it was Consort Yi who pushed him or not; he only wanted Wan'er to be safe.

"Your Majesty, spare me! It really wasn't me!"

Consort Yi was speechless and shook her head, tears streaming down her face. She looked rather disheveled, while Consort Xi, who was watching the show with glee, secretly cursed Consort Yi for being foolish.

Why hasn't His Majesty arrived yet?

The Empress Dowager was waiting for Emperor Kangxi to come to Shou Kang Palace. She had gone so far as to expose a group of spies in Yangxin Hall in order to get the opportunity for Kangxi to come and pay his respects to her. If she wanted to deal with Consort Chen, she would have to support some people first before she could deal with her. She herself was the least suitable person to confront her. She even thought of believing the words of the Imperial Observatory that the Grand Empress Dowager was killed by Consort Chen.

"Your Majesty, Consort Chen encountered Consort Yi and Consort Xi at Yimei Courtyard. I don't know what Consort Chen and Consort Yi said, but Consort Chen suddenly collapsed and couldn't get up. She even invited the Emperor to come on the way!" Granny Qiu had just received the news when she heard the Empress Dowager ask when Kangxi would arrive.

"Oh!" The Empress Dowager only replied with this sentence, but she herself was lost in memories. After all, she had also experienced such a thing, but she was standing next to Consort Yi.

"She really is taking advantage of the Emperor's favor to act so recklessly!" The Empress Dowager immediately felt disgusted with Wanyi.

"However, I heard that Consort Chen has been complaining of stomach pain, and she even had tears in her eyes!" Granny Qiu was afraid that the Empress Dowager would meddle and cause trouble for herself.

"Heh, I'd like to see if Consort Chen is really in a stomachache or not, daring to even intercept me!"

The Emperor discovered a beautiful palace maid, the daughter of the head of the Imperial Household Department's Xin Zhe Ku Guard. That's why she was hidden so well, but she was still found by Granny Qiu. She originally intended to introduce her to Kangxi today, but she was outmaneuvered. How could she not be angry?

"Empress Dowager!" Granny Qiu called out hesitantly. Ever since the Empress Dowager heard some gossip, she had become increasingly convinced that Consort Chen had caused the death of the Grand Empress Dowager, and she had become increasingly active in the inner palace.

"No need to persuade me, I know what I'm doing!" Even if the Emperor is tired of her, so what? She is still the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi's legal mother, and he can only be filial to her.

"Yes!" Granny Qiu had no choice but to go and prepare the travel items.

Yongshou Palace

"Imperial Physician Lu, Wan'er has been complaining of stomach pain since she fell. How is she now?" Kangxi asked with concern, ignoring Consort Xi and Noble Lady Yi kneeling not far from the bed.

"Your Majesty, Consort Chen is showing signs of miscarriage! How could she be so careless? I will immediately prescribe some medicine to prevent miscarriage. Please prepare it quickly; perhaps it can save her life!"

Physician Lu originally intended to say it was just a minor miscarriage, but upon hearing Kangxi's words, he naturally exaggerated the severity of the situation. However, damn it, his master was putting on such a convincing act that if he hadn't taken the pulse, he would have truly believed it was some serious illness. Just look at that pale face, dry lips, and cold sweat on his forehead—it looked exactly like a serious illness.

"Pregnancy-stabilizing medicine? What, Wan'er is pregnant? When did this happen?" How come he didn't know? How many months has it been? Last month when he checked her pulse, there was no pregnancy. How come she's pregnant now?

"Your Majesty, it's been almost a month, and the fetal pulse is weak. It would be best to prepare the medicine as soon as possible." Anyway, it had been a month since he took the pulse, and it seemed that what Physician He said before was wrong! Physician Lu went to prescribe the medicine to prevent miscarriage, puzzled.

"Oh! Right, Liang Jiugong, you go and cook it yourself!" This is his and Wan'er's second child! There can't be any mistakes, otherwise, how could Wan'er bear it if she found out!

The Imperial Noble Consort and the others who had just entered all wore expressions of disbelief upon hearing the imperial physician's words. After all, Consort Chen had just given birth to the Fourth Prince; if this were to be another prince, would anyone even have a chance to live? The Imperial Noble Consort was the first to react.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Consort Chen!" She had heard that Consort Chen had fallen and it was uncertain whether she could be saved. Several other concubines shared this sentiment.

"Get up!" Kangxi said with a frown. After all, his nose couldn't handle so much rouge and powder all at once, let alone Wan'er who was ill. But Wan'er was still in danger, so he didn't say anything.
