The news that Yu Jingchen had summoned the imperial physician to Ya Jing Ju quickly spread. Some people even said that Nan Zhiyun had collapsed on the ground, tormented to the point that she couldn't even stand up, and that every time Yu Jingchen went there, he would call the imperial physician afterwards.
Although a reason was given, some people still speculated that it was because Yu Jingchen punished Nan Zhiyun again, and Nan Zhiyun was injured or something, which is why the imperial physician was kept being summoned.
It was just that for various reasons, he couldn't say it directly, so Yu Jingchen deliberately gave that explanation. After all, everyone in the palace knew what Yu Jingchen's attitude towards Nan Zhiyun used to be, so how could it change so quickly? It was definitely an act for the outside world.
The person who was happiest when she thought that this might be the reason was Consort Liu (formerly Consort Min). She had already fallen asleep, but she woke up when she heard the servants say that there was some commotion at Yajing Residence.
This time, Yu Jingchen didn't let anyone spread any real news. Instead, he deliberately led the concubines in the harem to think that Nan Zhiyun had miscarried because she ate something raw or cold, so that the others in the harem didn't know the truth.
"Ha, I thought her luck had turned around, but I didn't expect her to still be a doormat. I knew it, how could a daughter of the Nan family be favored by His Majesty? Once His Majesty no longer needs to put on these shows, what will Nan Zhiyun be? At that time, I will make her pay back a thousand times over for the suffering I endured!" Consort Liu said viciously.
"Your Highness, don't get angry with her. Don't ruin your health," said Zhishu, the maidservant beside Consort Liu.
"Is it true that she miscarried? Go and find out more." Liu Cairen seemed eager to know if the truth of the matter was true.
"It seems to be pretty much true. I heard that the bloody water was brought out in basins one by one," Zhishu replied.
"If it's true, then it's really her retribution. But how could she get pregnant?" The thought of Nan Zhiyun being able to get pregnant made her resentful.
Of all the concubines in the harem, there were only two princesses and one prince, all conceived during the reign of the Crown Prince. However, their mothers were not of high rank or family background.
The eldest princess is six years old. Her birth mother is Consort Yang, and her father is a minor county magistrate. The second princess is a little over five years old. Her birth mother is Consort Zhao, and her father is a prince with little real power. The eldest prince is also six years old, a month younger than the eldest princess. His birth mother is Consort Yuan, who was born into a merchant family.
If these people hadn't lacked connections, these children, including the girls, wouldn't have been so lucky. Fortunately, they were usually low-key and rarely caused trouble.
Yajingju
Perhaps because of Yu Jingchen, Nan Zhiyun's abdominal pain lessened considerably. Her tightly furrowed brows also relaxed slightly.
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun had probably recovered by now, and slowly opened her eyes to look at Yu Jingchen.
"Does it still hurt?" Yu Jingchen asked.
Nan Zhiyun shook her head and said, "Much better, thank you, Your Majesty." Nan Zhiyun did not expect Yu Jingchen to treat her like this, and even use his internal energy to relieve her pain.
"Okay, then let's rest first," Yu Jingchen said, not taking it seriously.
“Okay…” Nan Zhiyun replied softly.
Yu Jingchen didn't withdraw his hand. His abdomen felt warm, and Nan Zhiyun actually felt somewhat comfortable. She gradually became sleepy and soon fell asleep again.
