Imperial Physician Li added, "The Imperial Concubine's pregnancy is extremely stable; it must have been caused by a strong impact."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Dongying's face turned icy cold as he looked at Chan'er, who trembled and said, "Your Majesty, I was only out for a short while when I returned and saw the First Prince. The Imperial Concubine was being held down by the First Prince, who seemed to be possessed. I couldn't pull him away no matter what I did."
Upon hearing the name of the First Prince, Consort Xian lost her footing: "Nonsense! Why would the First Prince come to Jingyang Palace? You vile servant, who instructed you to slander the First Prince?"
The eldest prince is the eldest son of Consort Xian.
Consort Xian stepped forward and slapped Chan'er across the face: "Speak, or I will never forgive you!"
Chan'er covered her face: "Every word I said is true."
"Unrepentant to the end! Guards!" Consort Xian raised her chin and said, "Drag this vile servant out and beat her to death!"
Chan'er panicked and kept kowtowing to the Emperor of Dongying: "Your Majesty, every word I have said is true. I would never dare to lie. Please see the truth."
Consort Xian was anxious: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince has always been mature and steady. How could he do such a rebellious thing at my birthday banquet? It must be this lowly maid who is slandering me. It is my incompetence that I failed to manage the harem. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
The Emperor of Japan put the person in his arms down and ordered Imperial Physician Li, "Do everything in your power to heal the Imperial Concubine!"
"yes."
He stepped out and pulled the hairpin from his wrist, causing blood to gush out. The eunuch quickly stepped forward and covered the wound with gauze.
After treating the wound, the Emperor of Dongying stared at Consort Xian with a dark gaze.
A hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
Consort Xian swallowed nervously: "Your Majesty... ever since Consort Xuanyuan arrived, there has been no peace in the harem. Perhaps Consort Xuanyuan and the Japanese harem are incompatible."
"Smack!"
A slap landed squarely on Consort Xian's face.
Consort Xian's eyes widened.
"Go and invite the First Prince here!"
Consort Xian came to her senses: "Your Majesty, you mustn't! To suspect the First Prince based on the words of a lowly maid! If word gets out, how will the First Prince face the world? Today is also my birthday banquet, and my father and brothers are both there. Has Your Majesty thought about how to explain this to them?"
Consort Xian regretted saying that as soon as she finished speaking.
As expected, the Emperor of Dongying's expression darkened further: "Is Consort Xian threatening me?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not."
"Go and invite the First Prince!"
The Emperor of Dongying was determined to find the eldest prince.
Consort Xian gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, ever since Consort Xuanyuan arrived, you have become more and more confused, even neglecting state affairs. Now you even doubt your own son. I really can't stand it anymore. Even if you want to order my death today, I will risk my life to admonish you."
The Emperor of Japan suddenly bent down, grabbed Consort Xian's chin with one hand, and said, word by word, "I just saw him leave the room with my own eyes."
Consort Xian was dumbfounded and immediately denied it: "Absolutely impossible!"
