Chapter 153: She had a stomachache and bleeding, and the emperor panicked

Shen Yuanwei came closer, glanced at the panicked palace maid, and calmly told the guards.

"Something happened to the Empress Dowager. I'm here to ask the Emperor for forgiveness. I know that important officials are discussing matters inside, so you don't need to go and inform them. Please get out of the way. I'll go in and ask the Emperor to do it myself."

The guards looked at her in confusion.

"My lady, you..."

Shen Yuanwei pointed the dagger at her stomach.

"Get out of the way. You don't want to see the little prince in my belly get hurt because of your obstruction, right?"

Shen Yuanwei has one trick up her sleeve. Everyone knows how much the emperor, who has been waiting for a child for more than ten years, cares about the baby in her belly. As long as she uses the child to force others, no one dares to disobey her.

The same goes for these guards.

When the guards saw her holding the dagger to her stomach, they looked at each other and slowly made way.

Shen Yuanwei stepped over the high threshold and walked straight to the entrance of the Taiji Hall.

Chen Hai and the eunuch were guarding the entrance to the main hall. When they saw Shen Yuanwei coming, Chen Hai immediately went forward to greet her in surprise.

"Madam, why are you here? You are so pregnant and in such a heavy condition now, you should rest well in your room. If there is anything, just let me know..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Hai suddenly saw Shen Yuanwei's dagger.

He swallowed the rest of his words.

He pointed at the dagger and said in shock, "Madam, why is there blood on your dagger... No, what are you holding the dagger for? You can't bring weapons to the Taiji Hall, it will be suspected of hurting the emperor..."

Shen Yuanwei smiled at Chen Hai, "I have to take the dagger, Eunuch Chen. The Queen Mother gave me an abortion drug and tricked me into drinking it. The Emperor's little prince is about to die. I must come to see the Emperor."

When Chen Hai heard the words "abortion pills", he turned pale with fright.

He couldn't believe it. "How could it be possible? The Queen Mother is the Emperor's biological mother. The little prince in your belly is her grandson. How could she give you an abortion drug..."

Shen Yuanwei was still smiling, "Yes, I also felt that she would not harm my child, so she brought me porridge, and I drank it without any doubt. Eunuch Chen, please open the door quickly, I want to see the emperor. My stomach has been aching all the way here, and I seem to be bleeding. I can't hold on any longer."

Chen Hai immediately looked down at Shen Yuanwei's belly.

The next moment, he screamed!

"Madam, there is blood on your skirt!"

Without waiting for Shen Yuanwei to speak, he quickly turned around and stumbled towards the palace door, shouting in panic, "Open the door quickly! Open it quickly!"

The eunuchs pushed the door open in panic, and Chen Hai immediately ran in screaming -

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened! Concubine Zhao is going to have a miscarriage! She is bleeding!"

Shen Yuanwei lowered her head and stretched her waist with difficulty, looking at her legs.

Blood was already spreading down between her legs, and where the skirt was touching her legs, there was a winding blood-red line.

She looked at Song Suihuan, "This blood is flowing at the right time."

Song Suihuan was not surprised at all. He held her arm tightly and said, "Your Highness drank the abortion pill. You were delayed for so long at the Queen Mother's place before, and you were delayed for so long on the way here. The pill has taken effect..."

After a pause, Song Suihuan continued, "Plus, you just hurt someone with a dagger, which must have stimulated you to some extent. Your body is tense and your emotions are changing drastically, which will naturally cause your uterus to contract. This will work faster when combined with the abortion pills."

Shen Yuanwei smiled.

That's good too.

She was covered in blood and looked miserable enough to make Xie Junlin forgive her crime.

As he was speaking, someone ran out of the hall in panic.

Shen Yuanwei looked up.

It was the first time she saw Xie Junlin running in such panic, completely forgetting his imperial dignity and completely forgetting to control his expression, with fear and terror so obviously shown on his face.

The last time she nearly had a miscarriage, Xie Junlin managed to hold back his emotions. At this moment, hearing that she had a second miscarriage, Xie Junlin must have been extremely scared. He was afraid that these two babies who were about to be born would die in the womb and leave him completely like this...

Shen Yuanwei's face instantly showed vulnerability and despair.

With red eyes and crying voice, she shouted, "Your Majesty, please save me, please save our little prince. The Queen Mother gave me an abortion pill, and our little prince can't be saved!"

Xie Junlin's running steps suddenly stopped.

"Tell me, who gave you the abortion pill?"

Not only was he shocked, but the group of ministers who ran out with him were all dumbfounded.

Who could believe that the Empress Dowager, who had been looking forward to the birth of her grandson, would actually kill her own grandson? How could this be possible?

Is someone framing the Empress Dowager?

Shen Yuanwei glanced at the ministers, and her voice became even more shrill.

"Your Majesty, you heard it right. It was the Queen Mother who gave me the abortion pill! It was your biological mother who wanted to kill your child, Your Majesty!"

Xie Junlin's eyes darkened slightly.

He walked up to Shen Yuanwei without saying a word, looked at the blood on Shen Yuanwei's legs, and with trembling hands he let Shen Yuanwei lean on his arms.

He said, "You must have made a mistake. I believe someone gave you an abortion drug, but it definitely wasn't my mother. Come, don't talk first, I'll carry you to the room. You are in a critical condition now, you have to lie down immediately and let Dr. Song treat you!"

Shen Yuanwei grabbed Xie Junlin's clothes, shook her head and cried.

"No, Your Majesty, I am not mistaken, it was the Queen Mother who did it..."

Xie Junlin glanced at the ministers who were listening with their ears perked up. This matter concerned his mother, and he couldn't let these ministers hear these bad things.

He interrupted Shen Yuanwei, "Don't talk about it for now, you and the baby in your belly are more important--"

He wanted to pick up Shen Yuanwei and carry her sideways.

Shen Yuanwei refused to cooperate, holding the dagger against her stomach and crying in resistance.

"No, Your Majesty, please let me finish! If I don't speak now, I will die later and there will be no chance for my name to be cleared!"

Xie Junlin didn’t know where Shen Yuanwei got all that energy from!

He glanced at the dagger, fearing that forcibly hugging Shen Yuanwei would cause greater harm to the baby in her belly. He could only raise his hands and let her tell the secret to outsiders.

"Okay, okay, go ahead and finish your story so we can lie down and let Dr. Song take a look at you!"

Shen Yuanwei endured the pain in her abdomen and told Xie Junlin and the ministers what had happened.

"Half an hour ago, the Queen Mother brought Nanny Cui to bring me some porridge, and also asked Prince Rui to accompany me. I took a bite of the porridge and it was bitter. I was very curious, so I asked my mother why the porridge was bitter. She said that she made lily porridge for me, which would calm my mind and let me sleep well..."

"I believed it and drank two bowls."

"I've finished drinking, but Prince Rui is still drinking. Logically, the Queen Mother should wait patiently for Prince Rui to finish drinking, but I don't know what she's afraid of. She insisted on urging Prince Rui to leave, and even asked Aunt Cui to remove all the food on the table, leaving nothing behind."

"Later, Divine Doctor Song brought me a bowl of soup. I was full, so I gave the soup to Prince Rui. After drinking the delicious soup, Prince Rui immediately put the bitter porridge on the table. But the Queen Mother panicked. She said she had something else to do and wanted to take the remaining bowl of porridge away. I asked her to leave it to the palace maid, but she refused and insisted on taking it away herself."

"At this point, I couldn't help but start to suspect there was something wrong with the porridge."

"I snatched the bowl of porridge and asked Dr. Song to take it. Dr. Song found that the porridge was tampered with!"

"There's abortion pills in that porridge!"

"When the Queen Mother saw that the truth had been revealed, she wanted to slander Divine Doctor Song. She asked the eunuchs to arrest Divine Doctor Song immediately. I naturally refused. I held a dagger against my stomach and forced her to release Divine Doctor Song."

"After much debate, the Queen Mother admitted that she did put abortion pills in the porridge."

"She said she didn't want me to have an abortion, she just wanted me to have a premature birth, she said she was doing it for my own good—"

"But I clearly heard Divine Doctor Song say that the abortion pills not only cause women to give birth prematurely, but also cause massive intrauterine bleeding in pregnant women, resulting in the death of both mother and child!"

"I don't understand why my mother would rather risk killing my three children than force me to take the abortion pill. I asked her why she did this to me, but she couldn't give me a reason. She just kept saying it was for my own good and that I would be grateful to her in the future..."

"My stomach was already aching, and she wanted to poison me, saying it was for my own good. I impulsively stabbed her with the dagger..."

Shen Yuanwei raised the dagger tremblingly, and the blood stains left on the dagger made the ministers gasp!

The Queen Mother gave Concubine Zhao an abortion drug, and Concubine Zhao was so angry that she stabbed the Queen Mother with a dagger!

Are this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law possessed by evil spirits?

Xie Junlin also couldn't understand why his mother did this. He couldn't believe that Shen Yuanwei, such a daring woman, dared to stab his mother with a knife!

Xie Junlin was stunned and furious, "Shen Yuanwei! How dare you!"
