These words completely blocked the empress dowager who was about to blame her.
The Queen was naturally unhappy when she saw the Queen Mother blamed Gu Miao as soon as she arrived. She let go of the Queen Mother's hand and frowned.
"Miaomiao's face was disfigured. She finally met the person she loved, but they were torn apart abruptly. Now she's being blamed."
"We agreed that if Miaomiao broke off the engagement, she would give birth to a healthy child! Now she gave birth to a child like this! Why are you still blaming Miaomiao!"
The noisy noise annoyed the emperor. He rubbed his brows and looked tiredly at the child in Gu Qingsheng's arms, his eyes revealing complicated emotions.
It was indeed as the Queen said. It was clearly agreed at the time that as long as Gu Miao broke off the engagement, Concubine Ning would be able to give birth to a healthy child.
But now the opposite is happening.
Concubine Ning was still sleeping on the couch, breathing evenly, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
She had a pretty face and didn't know what had happened.
Seeing her like this, the emperor felt even more distressed. He sighed and slowly raised his head.
"The Queen is right."
"Since the Imperial Master said at the time that if Miaomiao broke off the engagement, this kind of thing wouldn't happen, but now it's like this, I don't know how the Imperial Master will bear this result."
Without even an explanation, Xu Qingyi said slowly
"My understanding is not wrong."
"As long as the princess breaks off the engagement, there will be no more possibility of a deformed baby. This child..."
He had finished speaking, but the emperor suddenly became angry.
"What does this mean, Imperial Master? Are you saying this child isn't mine?!"
"I have no such intention."
She still had that cold and aloof demeanor, but this look was in stark contrast to the emperor.
The others knelt there and didn't dare to breathe. For so long, the emperor had always treated the imperial teacher well.
It's almost to the point where every request is granted.
They did not address each other as king and minister, and Xu Qingyi was exempted from the grand gift. However, even so, the national teacher failed in such an important matter.
It seems that the national teacher can't escape this time.
His breathing became rapid. This scene made the emperor even more irritated. He almost didn't want to look at the child again. He ordered
"Someone come!"
"Noble Concubine Ning gave birth to an unknown child! From now on, she will be banished to the cold palace! She will never be allowed out again!"
"And this child..."
He turned around, clenching his fists behind his back.
"Buried alive!!"
After saying this harshly, the emperor turned away, leaving Qianshi, who was standing beside him, with a dazed look on her face, before falling heavily from her kneeling position.
Falling to the ground, she began to cry silently. This look was indeed miserable. The Queen Mother sighed and put her hand on the hand of the palace maid beside her.
"Return to the palace."
"I think..."
Seeing that the Queen Mother was about to walk away, Gu Qingsheng suddenly spoke.
She held the child in her arms, frowning, and in her peripheral vision she saw Gu Miao and the Queen with a smug look on their faces.
"This is not right."
The emperor in the distance stopped and looked at her coldly.
"Changle, what do you want to say?"
The people who were about to take the child and bury him alive stopped and listened quietly to what Gu Qingsheng said.
"This child..."
Gu Qingsheng loosened the quilt, revealing the child's somewhat scary body, and seemed to be carefully searching for something.
After a while, he said
"A long time ago, when Concubine Ning was pregnant with this child, she talked to me about it."
"Because Imperial Concubine Ning is weak, I wanted to ask the imperial physician to get her some tonic soups."
"I heard that the Imperial Hospital had just received some very effective tonics from another country, so I asked the Imperial Doctor Li to prescribe one for me."
"However, because that herbal remedy has only just been introduced, while it can protect the fetus, it will leave a small birthmark on the fetus' thigh."
"I was present when Imperial Physician Li said this. Later, I heard that Imperial Concubine Ning consulted the Emperor and also used the same herbal medicine."
As she spoke, she pried open the baby's legs and found nothing inside.
Doctor Li was also present. He knelt down and kowtowed twice, his voice frightened.
"Your Majesty! That medicine! Your Majesty drank it right in front of me, there's no mistake..."
When Gu Qingsheng mentioned this, the emperor also thought of his conversation with Concubine Ning at that time, and he did ask him about this herb.
He agreed at the time, but now the child has no birthmark...
this……
How could Gu Miao know that there was such a thing? His eyes were rolling around.
"Well! Maybe the herb was used incorrectly! Or maybe something unexpected happened!"
"Anyway! This is the child that crawled out of the imperial concubine's belly! Regardless of whether it has a birthmark or not! Father! You should also think about your people!"
She spoke quickly, fearing that the emperor might change his mind.
Gu Miao worked so hard that the Queen naturally saw the clues. Although she didn't know what her daughter had done, the most important thing now was to be with Gu Miao, so she nodded.
"It's impossible to predict the effects of herbs, and everyone is different. What if Concubine Ning is an exception?"
"Someone! Take the child away!"
“Help!!”
Just as the queen finished speaking, a woman's scream suddenly came from outside the door!
The man rushed in with a loud bang! He almost bumped into the emperor!
The emperor reacted quickly and dodged, causing the woman to fall directly to the ground, scraping a large piece of skin off her hand.
She cried out twice and opened her eyes to find so many people around. Before he could get up, a man in black flew in from outside!
He stabbed straight at the woman on the ground!
The sword is shining silver, sharp and exudes a sense of coldness!
Xu Qingyi stepped forward, picked up a chopstick on the table, and swung it out with one hand, nailing the man to the wall!
The man in black had a distorted face due to excessive pain, the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the chopstick almost completely sank into his shoulder, causing him to break out in a cold sweat due to the pain.
"How bold!"
The Queen Mother frowned at the assassin and shouted
"How dare you assassinate the Emperor here! Someone take him away for questioning!"
Soon guards came and dragged the man in black away.
The man in black glanced in Gu Miao's direction intentionally or unintentionally, and his gaze accurately fell into the emperor's eyes.
The woman on the ground saw that the assassin was finally captured, then she raised her head and swallowed.
After revealing her true face, Gu Qingsheng was the first to recognize her
"You are... Chun Guo?!"
The person being chased by the assassin was Chun Guo, who was driven out by Gu Qingsheng not long ago!
Gu Miao felt a chill in his heart, and a bad premonition gradually emerged.
"What are you doing here?"
"This is disgraceful! Someone, take her away!"
Chun Guo looked at Gu Miao and instantly became like a mouse seeing a cat. He screamed and hid behind Gu Qingsheng.
"Ah! Help! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I don't know anything! I don't know anything!"
She held her head and trembled, then kowtowed to Gu Miao
"Third Princess, let me go! Third Princess, let me go!"
