Chapter 78: I Hate You
The Queen panicked.
She didn't expect the Queen Mother to not protect her.
She cried and begged for mercy, but the Queen Mother ignored her and just looked at Emperor Qingling from the side. She said calmly: "Emperor, do you know who is the imperial physician who prepared the ancient prescription for the Queen?"
Emperor Qingling was deep in thought and looked at Imperial Physician Lin.
If he remembered correctly, during the month when the Queen was under house arrest, only Imperial Physician Lin frequently went in and out of Jingren Palace.
Doctor Lin was in a panic. He knelt down with a thud. After kowtow, he buried his head in the ground and spoke in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, this ancient recipe was handed to me by Lord Hua himself. She said that I should give it to the Queen. Later, I went to the palace to check the Queen's pulse. The Queen asked about this matter. I wanted to cover it up, but I didn't expect the Queen to threaten me, saying that if I didn't do it, she would send someone to my house. I didn't dare to risk my family's life."
Doctor Lin was trying to distance himself from the matter word by word.
But he had reason and evidence, and explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly.
Emperor Qingling raised his leg and kicked the Queen.
As the Queen of the Central Palace, she was kicked to the ground in front of all the doctors and Concubine Shugui.
The phoenix crown on his head was scattered to the ground due to the violent fall, his hair was disheveled, and he no longer looked so high and mighty.
She raised her eyes and looked at the emperor quite hurt, tears suddenly fell, and she raised her hand to beat her chest: "Your Majesty, I am the empress, and this matter is not my fault alone. It was Concubine Xian who proposed it. She said that she wanted to make Concubine Shu look bad. As the empress, I should not interfere in the disputes between concubines, but Your Majesty, my house arrest is related to Concubine Shu, I hate it!"
Emperor Qingling scolded: "It is my imperial decree to put you under house arrest. Why do you hate Concubine Shu? She has been speaking for you in front of me from beginning to end! You ignored her sincere heart and just wanted to frame Concubine Shu. Queen, you and I have been married for a long time, and you are so sinister!"
The queen's heart sank to the bottom when she listened to the emperor's responsibility.
She had loved him with all her heart, but his heart was filled with everyone in the harem, except her.
She knew that the emperor hated her, and now it was futile to say anything.
She sat paralyzed on the ground, and suddenly looked up at Shu Guifei's belly.
Her eyes were bloodshot. She ate raw
meat and drank blood.
The next moment, she suddenly jumped up and fell off the bed with Shu Guifei.
Emperor Qing Ling was panicked and wanted to go up to save people, but it was too late: "Yao He!"
He watched Shu Guifei being pressed to the ground by the empress, laughing crazily.
"My child is gone, and you can't expect to have a good life, Shu Guifei, I will never reconcile with you in this life!"
Shu Guifei fell to the ground, and she didn't feel lost at all, and even felt a little relieved.
The Queen's move really solved her urgent problem.
Without any feelings, she would feel dirty if she gave birth to a child with the Emperor's bloodline.
She didn't want it in the first place, so it would be better to have the Queen abort him. She would have to frame him, but this way, she would have saved herself the trouble.
But even thinking this in her heart, she still cried.
The child in her belly had been with her for more than a month, it was impossible to say that she had no feelings.
She looked at Emperor Qing Ling from a distance, her eyes were sad and cold, empty and lifeless, her pale lips opened softly: "Your Majesty, I..."
Doctor Zhao looked at her and exclaimed: "Blood! Concubine Shugui is bleeding! Quick, pull the Queen away!"
Everyone immediately stepped forward and hurriedly pulled the Queen away.
Concubine Shu Gui suddenly lost her strength. She could feel the back of her head hitting the footstool the moment she fell. All the strength in her body was drained away bit by bit. Coupled with the dull pain from the previous sword wound, she fainted.
When she woke up again, the emperor was guarding her.
The first sentence she said was: "Your Majesty, why are you here, so far away from your sister..."
She didn't finish the rest of the sentence and hissed in pain.
Emperor Qing Ling was so distressed that he took her hand and said: "Yao He, I would rather you were more aggressive and less kind." Concubine
Shu Gui pulled the corner of her mouth and showed a relieved smile.
"If all the concubines in this palace were sharp, then the emperor would be surrounded by a group of demons and monsters. I don't want you to deal with the swords and fire outside and then come to Guangling Palace to suffer. I want you to be happy."
She looked at the emperor's words.
It seemed that she had completely forgotten the baby in her belly.
Emperor Qingling frowned and couldn't help but look at her abdomen. He asked tentatively: "Yaohe, do you still remember why you fainted?"
According to common sense, the first thing she should do when she woke up should be to ask about the baby in her belly. Why did she talk about other things?
Concubine Shugui also frowned and asked in confusion: "I just woke up from a nap. Why does the emperor ask this?"
After these words came out, Emperor Qingling almost went crazy on the spot.
He immediately let go of Concubine Shugui's hand and left the bedroom in a hurry.
Mi Chun, who was waiting on the side, stepped forward immediately, held Shuguifei's hand and cried.
"Your Majesty, you are so pitiful. The princess is now locked up in the cold palace, and your body..."
Shuguifei did not speak. She
just stared at the top of her head in a daze.
She wanted the emperor to feel guilty, wanted him to wish to give the country to her, wanted him to have unconditional preference, and wanted him to think of her face whenever he stayed with other concubines.
As long as she is still in the palace, the emperor can still see her.
Then this second child will become a thorn in his heart.
This is also the last thing this child can do for her and his sister.
Don't blame her for pretending to have amnesia, the only thing to blame is the harem, which is too complicated.
If she wants to fight, she must show the sincerity she should have.
Concubine Xian is worried.
Then she will become the emperor's worry.
In the courtyard of Guangling Palace.
Emperor Qingling flew into a rage and angrily rebuked all the imperial physicians: "Didn't you say that Concubine Shugui had no other illness except miscarriage? How come she doesn't remember that she was pregnant now! You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise, I want the Imperial Medical Bureau to be buried with you!"
After hearing the emperor's words, the imperial physicians knelt in the yard again.
Everyone was shivering.
They could feel how important Shu Guifei was in the emperor's heart.
In the queen's bedroom, they could do whatever they wanted in the palace, but when it came to Shu Guifei's place, they were all driven out of the room.
You have to know that it was just the beginning of winter!
The cold wind was biting, and if you stood in this cold wind for half an hour, you would catch a cold!
Imperial Physician Zhao hesitated and said, "Perhaps the fetus in Shu Guifei's belly was too important to her, so the child was gone, and Shu Guifei's brain had a stress response, and she selectively forgot about it. For the sake of Concubine Guifei's health, Your Majesty, don't mention this matter again, so as not to arouse Concubine Guifei's sadness."
Emperor Qingling's heart ached.
It was like a crack in the wood, which gradually spread and climbed up until the whole wood was covered with cracks.
Scarred.
His noble concubine actually cared so much about the baby in her belly.
Emperor Qingling raised his hands weakly and waved: "All of you go down."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After everyone in the yard had left, Emperor Qingling looked up at the sky alone.
His eyes were empty and lifeless.
Outside the house, the eunuch from Concubine Xian's palace came running.
He knelt down as soon as he came in: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian is having a migraine attack, and now she is crying and shouting for Your Majesty."
