Chapter 133: Opportunity to Drive Jiang Rong Away
Northern Palace, Jinyu Garden.
"I think the princess will definitely go to save her son." Jiang Rong looked at Xie Lingxi, her eyebrows slightly curved:
"So, let's send a group of people, what do you think, husband?"
Xie Lingxi nodded slightly, "Yeah."
As for waiting for the princess to rescue the person, then exposing the matter and using it to implicate her...
Jiang Rong just thought about this method once and then threw it away.
Because the emperor obviously wanted to protect the eldest princess.
Otherwise, how could she get away with this fraud case unscathed?
Princess Anyang is the emperor's biological sister, and also a pawn of the royal family to win over Marquis Yongning through marriage. She would never be thrown away easily.
If you want her to die, you can't just find a crime to accuse her of.
Only...
When Prince Duan fell from power, she was purged along with the Dong family...
Before that, I'd better give her a small gift in return.
…
Three days later.
On his way to exile, Dong Zefei was robbed by bandits.
What was very shocking was that there were actually two gangs of bandits. They even fought over the robbery...
In the chaos, Dong Zefei was stabbed seven or eight times and died.
The news was reported back to the capital.
"Your Highness, please accept my condolences..." Zhou Gou knelt tremblingly and reported.
Princess Anyang couldn't believe it. "How could this happen... How could my son die... No! Impossible! Who did this? Who!"
"I don't know..." Zhou Gou whispered back, "That group of people also pretended to be bandits..."
Princess Anyang was so angry that she picked up the teacup and smashed it on his head, "What's the use of you! It must be Jiang Rong. Only she would go against me like this! It must be her!"
"Jiang Rong, you killed my son, you... you are so brave, just wait, just wait..."
Princess Anyang was filled with grief and resentment. She screamed hysterically and was driven like a madman by the death of her son.
…
Beijing, Xishan Villa.
Mrs. Qiao felt a stomachache and discomfort. She had been feeling uncomfortable since she became pregnant...
But this time the pain was particularly severe, and Qiao shouted repeatedly, "Call the doctor!"
Doctor Liu came late at night to check her pulse and looked not very well. "I'll prescribe some pregnancy-preserving medicine for Madam!"
I drank several bowls of medicine like this...
By dawn, Qiao finally felt that her stomach pain was gone...
"But has everything settled down?" Qiao asked.
Doctor Liu knelt on the ground tremblingly, "Madam, calm down, this child... this child can't be saved..."
"What do you mean?" Qiao couldn't believe it.
Doctor Liu replied tremblingly, "The fetus has already died..."
Qiao's eyes went dark and he fainted on the spot.
Concubine Zhao, who was sleeping in the middle of the night, was also awakened and angrily asked, "You can't save the fetus for no reason. Don't you want to live anymore?"
Doctor Liu was a man specially arranged by Concubine Zhao for Qiao. He kowtowed and said:
"Madam, you are wise! It was difficult to keep this child from the beginning. It all depends on the pregnancy-preserving medicine. Whether it can be preserved depends entirely on luck... And right now, Madam, your luck is not very good..."
He didn't dare to explain it clearly at first, but now he could only confess: "At the beginning of her pregnancy, Madam took some medicine that was harmful to her body. This medicine also harmed the fetus... We have done our best to keep her alive until now..."
"What kind of medicine is harmful to the body? She has always been taking tonic medicine!" Concubine Zhao said angrily.
"Things that are very nutritious can also harm the body..." Doctor Liu explained, "The Yi Nan Soup that Madam drank at that time... was very harmful to her body. Although I stopped her from drinking it, it still harmed the fetus and she has never been able to recover."
Yi Nan Soup.
Concubine Zhao's face turned pale. This was the medicine she had given to Mrs. Qiao. It was said that it would definitely help her give birth to a son...
Only drank it once.
Doctor Liu didn't dare to say that the wrong medicine was taken. He just said that Mrs. Qiao was in poor health and needed to protect the fetus, and could not take any other medicine...so she stopped taking it.
If the old concubine knew that the reason why Qiao couldn't keep her baby was because she gave her a tonic...
No, no!
Concubine Zhao looked at Doctor Liu, her eyes full of warning: "You know what you can and cannot say."
"I understand everything." Doctor Liu nodded.
Concubine Zhao paced back and forth. She had been counting on this child, but now the child was gone...
From now on, she will have no say in the Northern Palace.
"You go to the Northern Prince's Palace and tell them that Mrs. Qiao is not feeling well and needs Tianshan Jade Ginseng as medicine. The palace's medicine store doesn't have this stuff. But it is available in the private storehouse of Jinyuyuan. Tell them that for the sake of the child, ask the Crown Princess to lend it to you." Concubine Zhao looked at Doctor Liu and said.
The medicine storehouse of the Northern Prince's Palace has been moved to the West Mountain Villa.
But each room has its own small treasury.
This Tianshan Jade Ginseng was a tribute bestowed by the emperor years ago, but there were only two of them. The old concubine used one for herself, and gave the other to Xie Lingxi.
Doctor Liu took the order.
Concubine Zhao thought, if the child is gone, then it's gone. It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to bring Jiang Rong down.
She immediately ordered someone to wake up Qiao, who had fainted from the shock.
"I know you are sad now, but you should think about our situation. Xie Lingxi chased you out even though you were pregnant because of a cat. Now that the child is gone, you have even less status." Concubine Zhao looked at Qiao and said:
"You have to remember, it wasn't us who failed to save the child. It was because Jiang Rong was jealous of you and put drugs in the jade ginseng he gave you!"
"The old concubine just came back from the mountain two days ago. Even if the old concubine favors Xie Lingxi, she will be furious because Jiang Rong killed her great-grandson! The Xie family cannot keep a mistress who poisons her children. Jiang Rong must get out of the Northern Palace!"
Mrs. Qiao was originally very upset, but after hearing what Concubine Zhao said, she gradually calmed down.
We can have children in the future, but the opportunity to drive Jiang Rong away must not be missed!
"My daughter-in-law understands."
…
In Jinyuyuan.
"Please have mercy on me, Princess. The young lady's health is very unwell and she really needs a ginseng to protect the fetus. If not, I'm afraid the fetus... cannot be saved." Doctor Liu said.
Feicui felt that he was clearly robbing her.
If you don't give me Yu Shen, I won't be able to keep the child.
Isn't it just giving?
This Qiao is really acting like a spoiled child. She took advantage of her pregnancy to snatch the cloth that should have belonged to the Crown Prince's wife, and now she comes directly to steal things!
“Now you can make robbery sound so nice?” Feicui said.
Doctor Liu could only laugh awkwardly.
Jiang Rong was calm, "Okay, I understand. This jade ginseng has not been used for a long time, and I don't know where it is. Wait a moment, I will send someone to look for it."
"Thank you, Princess!" Doctor Liu felt relieved.
Jiang Rong stood up and went back to the backyard with Feicui.
"Princess Consort, this Qiao is going too far. She is taking advantage of her pregnancy to bully others! If she can ask for the ginseng today, she can ask for something else tomorrow! If you don't give it to her, she will use the child to pressure others!" Feicui felt sorry for Jiang Rong.
Jiang Rong said calmly, "I think she is doing more than just stealing things."
Who dares to give medicine to a pregnant woman? She doesn't dare. Especially, she remembered that Qiao's pregnancy was not saved.
