Chapter 29 The girl from the Lu family may have died of illness
The huge waterside pavilion was silent and no one dared to make the slightest sound.
Not everyone could hear Lu Xinran's inner thoughts. Many people looked at him suspiciously, wondering why the situation had turned out like this just because the emperor and the empress dowager said a few words.
Is there any hidden story behind the previous miscarriage of Concubine Chen?
Also, why is the emperor's aura so cold and stern?
I always feel that the emperor is like a cannon that will explode if touched.
Lu Xinran was bored waiting and couldn't help yawning after arguing with the system.
Is this the Queen Mother’s birthday banquet?
Shouldn't it be a harmonious atmosphere, with everyone greeting each other with fake smiles and saying compliments and polite words?
Why is it so scary?
Those who heard her voice: "..."
If you hadn't been fanning the flames, this birthday party would have been just as you described, with everyone, uh, smiling and giving compliments sincerely!
The emperor's gaze would occasionally glance over to them. The empress's charges had to be cleared, and if the concubine was really so vicious, he would naturally punish her. But he could not let this girl from the Lu family, who could find out everything, go free.
Such a person should either be executed or kept under our nose so that she can't cause any trouble again.
After an hour, everyone's legs had lost feeling from kneeling.
[My legs hurt so much. I should have used something more expensive.]
[But kneeling for so long, there's no point in using anything, right? ]
[Really, when the emperor can’t handle his own household affairs, he will vent his anger on us little minions.]
When complaints arose, the emperor looked at them coldly and almost laughed out of anger.
This girl actually knows that this is his family affair!
Why didn't she think about not saying anything inappropriate when she was complaining in her heart?
Even though he thought so, he still waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone, stand up. I'll give you a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
There was no moment when everyone felt that it was a good thing to hear that voice.
Of course, it would be better not to involve them so that they can concentrate on enjoying the show.
Everyone tried hard not to show their ugly expressions of gritting their teeth, and held the servants' arms tightly. Langxi stood up and sat on the chair behind him.
On the small path, several hurried figures followed Eunuch Fu, and in a few moments they arrived at the waterside pavilion.
"I have seen your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Empress Dowager."
The emperor waved his hand and several people stood up obediently.
"Concubine Chen, come here."
The emperor said coldly, "You should take a good look at this for the Concubine Chen, and keep your head up. I only want to hear the truth."
Not understanding what was going on, Cao Yuanzheng and several old doctors bowed hurriedly.
The Concubine Chen looked at the battle in front of her, her heart beating wildly.
She stood up very slowly and walked to the front of several doctors: "Your Majesty, your concubine, your concubine..."
"Diagnose!"
The emperor only uttered one word with a cold look. The concubine did not dare to say another word. She sat aside obediently with her hands on the table.
Several imperial doctors came forward one by one and carefully examined the patient's pulse. They looked at each other in confusion, and then Cao Yuanzheng spoke.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Chen is still a little weak after giving birth. Taking more supplements will make up for her weakness in just over a month."
"Your Majesty~"
After hearing what Cao Yuanzheng said, Chen Fei felt aggrieved again.
Lu Xinran listened to the movement in front of him and began to feel confused.
[How come they can't even tell the pulse from the drugs? ]
[But it's not their fault. This is He Youyi's exclusive secret recipe. Within three hours after taking the medicine, the pulse will definitely be able to be confused with the real one.]
[However, Concubine Chen has been taking the medicine for more than two hours. Her pulse will return to normal in half an hour at most.]
[What a pity, she's going to get away with it again. ]
The sudden voice of his heart made all the imperial doctors a little stunned.
What does this voice mean?
Are you questioning their medical skills and thinking they are quacks? !
Instead, the emperor's eyes flashed with thought, "What about He Youyi?"
"Your Majesty, Doctor He is not on duty today. It will take another quarter of an hour for him to arrive from the palace."
While Eunuch Fu was replying, the Emperor's trusted secret guard who had been sent out earlier suddenly appeared with several bloody palace maids.
When Concubine Chen saw the people in her palace, her heart started beating wildly again.
"Your Majesty, what happened to them?"
The emperor didn't look at her, but asked his confidant coldly.
"But did you admit it?"
"Your Majesty, I confess everything. This is the medicine residue and the soup I found in the small kitchen."
Chen Fei looked at the medicine bag and the medicine residue dug out from under the tree, and finally realized that her tricks had been exposed.
The emperor threw the medicine bag at her feet and asked: "Do you have anything to say?"
The Concubine Chen was like a little white flower in the strong wind, shaking her slender body fragilely.
"I, I have nothing to say. It is my fault. I am greedy for Your Majesty. I am greedy for wanting to bear a child for Your Majesty."
[Just now I was your concubine, but now I am your concubine again. 】
[Not in the bed, and he also said that if they were born in a normal family, they would be a normal couple, right? ]
[Such a cliché, how could the emperor really eat like this? ]
[Or does one lose the ability to identify bitches when one's status reaches a certain level? ]
A series of thoughts came to his mind again, and the emperor clenched his fists in his sleeves.
His majesty as an emperor would not tolerate any unreasonable provocation from others!
The young man from the Lu family who was just found may have died of illness!
The Concubine Chen, who was crawling at his feet, looked up at him sadly. If it were in the past, he would definitely have softened his heart.
But after being mocked again and again by that inner voice, he subconsciously felt disgusted when he saw the delicate appearance of Concubine Chen.
He kicked the Concubine Chen without mercy, "Why do you want to frame the Empress?"
While Concubine Chen was in pain, she was kicked several steps away. Only then did she finally start to panic.
"I didn't, I didn't frame the Queen, I just got married a few days late, I thought I was pregnant with your Majesty's baby, so I couldn't wait to tell your Majesty."
The result was a false alarm.
She was unwilling to tell the emperor this and let him think that she was scheming, so she came up with the idea of killing two birds with one stone.
"In the autumn of the twelfth year of Jinghe, the Queen gave birth. Do you know who was responsible?"
The Concubine Chen's face turned paler and the panic in her eyes could no longer be concealed.
She collapsed on the ground: "I don't know, Your Majesty, I just want to have a baby that belongs to us."
[Huan Baobao, with such a cruel and vicious heart, the children she raises must be terrible. When they grow up and start fighting for the throne, they and her will make sure all the princes die in accidents.]
The emperor, who hated fratricide the most, was shocked by this blow.
The little girl from the Lu family didn't have to die of illness...
