Chen Jingxi knew that if Wen Yuzhi got into trouble, she would definitely be in trouble too. She asked Liuxia to treat Wen Yuzhi because she also wanted to know what was going on.
"Princess Su, save my child..." Wen Yuzhi tugged at Chen Jingxi's clothes, her eyes making people feel pity.
"Liuxia, what's going on?"
Liu Xia carefully felt Wen Yuzhi's pulse, then shook his head and whispered, "Princess, it's the red flower."
As soon as she finished speaking, the queen came running over with a group of palace maids and guards.
"What happened to Concubine Wen?" The queen changed into a palace dress, her hair was slightly disheveled, and she was obviously shocked by the sudden news.
The Queen glanced at Wen Yuzhi, then turned to Chen Jingxi and asked, "Princess Su, what's going on?"
"Your Majesty..." Chen Jingxi was about to open her mouth to explain, but the Queen directly pinned the blame on her, "Princess Su, you attempted to murder the heir to the throne. Your crime is unforgivable."
If you don't just deduct it, what else can you ask her to say?
"Empress, Consort Wen had a miscarriage because she drank the tea you prepared. What does it have to do with me?"
"Hmph..." The Queen snorted coldly, "Are you all dead? Why don't you go find Doctor Hu?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The palace maids were so frightened that they quickly responded and turned to look for Doctor Hu.
The Queen looked at Chen Jingxi with an indifferent expression and continued to emphasize: "Princess Su, plotting to murder the heir to the throne is a capital crime, and I cannot help you."
After saying this, the Queen waved her hand, and the guards surrounded Chen Jingxi. However, the guards only surrounded her and did not move forward to arrest her.
Seeing this, Han Yu and several maids quickly protected Chen Jingxi behind them and said loudly, "Empress, you are accusing my princess of a crime without any evidence. Isn't that too far-fetched?"
The Queen shouted, "Who are you to dare to make such a loud noise in Fengzao Palace? Come, take them away!"
Han Yu looked at Chen Jingxi, only to see Chen Jingxi gently shaking her head. If they resisted now, the Queen would definitely accuse them of treason, and that would be really bad for them.
"Your Majesty, please speak frankly. I'm sure you know better than me why Concubine Wen was struck by this red flower."
The queen's expression was slightly restrained. She had not expected that this man was more intelligent than she had imagined. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the eunuch outside the door shout, "The emperor is here."
As soon as the emperor came in, he asked anxiously, "What happened to Yuzhi?"
Seeing the emperor suddenly arrive, the queen was surprised for a moment.
The emperor looked around at the people kneeling on the floor in the hall and said, "Queen, you speak."
The Queen raised her head, her tone filled with a hint of panic: "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Hu is treating Consort Wen in the palace. He said that Consort Wen accidentally drank something with safflower in it, and I'm afraid the child may not be saved."
When the emperor heard this, he tightened his grip on the Buddhist beads and slammed them down at the queen's feet, shouting angrily, "Asshole! Who drugged me?"
The Queen lowered her eyes and whispered, "I don't know either. Only Princess Su was there at the time. The palace maids said that Concubine Wen had a miscarriage because she drank the cup of tea in front of Princess Su."
Although the Queen did not directly say that it was Chen Jingxi who gave her the medicine, the meaning of her words was not far off.
"Princess Su?" A cold light flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he looked at Chen Jingxi coldly, "Princess Su, do you have anything else to say?"
Chen Jingxi knew in her heart that this was clearly a trap set up for her, and no matter how she tried to explain, it was useless. "Father, I have no reason to drug you. I have no grudge against Concubine Wen, so why would I harm her child?"
The emperor remained unmoved and angrily said, "Princess Su, you have a vicious mind and behave erratically. Is there anything you wouldn't dare to do?"
"Your Majesty, I cannot agree with what you said."
"You are so good, Princess Su. You still dare to quibble when you are about to die. Come, throw Princess Su into the Sky Prison."
At this time, Doctor Hu came out from the inner hall, knelt down and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I have stopped the bleeding for Concubine Wen, but the child has not been saved."
The emperor's expression grew increasingly gloomy. "Very good, very good!" He turned to look at Chen Jingxi, his eyes filled with disgust. "I had been somewhat lenient with you, thinking you were the consort of Prince Su, but I never imagined you could be so cruel! Someone, take her away!"
The queen looked at Chen Jingxi being taken away by the guards, lowered her eyes, unable to hide her anger. The emperor seemed to have noticed something recently, secretly investigating her son, and asked Concubine Qin to assist in the management of the six palaces. She could not sit idly by and wait for death.
She originally wanted to trick Chen Jingxi into making a mistake and then control her, but she didn't expect...
Now that the emperor had intervened, not only did Wen Yuzhi suffer a miscarriage in her palace, but the emperor also took advantage of her in the end.
All her plans ended in vain. The queen suddenly felt ridiculous and everything seemed to be out of her control.
Chen Jingxi was taken to the Heavenly Prison by the guards. She was not surprised at all. The people in the palace had spent a lot of money to frame her. No matter how cautious she was, she would not be able to escape this carefully laid trap.
But today's drama was too clumsy. The Queen deliberately delayed time, and Concubine Wen arrived suddenly.
When the Queen saw Wen Yuzhi's miscarriage, there was a moment of panic in her eyes, but she immediately showed composure, even calmer than when Concubine Yao miscarried. Obviously, all this was within her expectations.
Furthermore, when the Queen saw that Wen Yuzhi had a miscarriage, she couldn't wait to put the blame on her, but she did not immediately order her arrest.
Chen Jingxi immediately understood the intention behind this. The Queen wanted to use this as a bargaining chip to threaten and control her, making her a pawn in her hands.
As for the emperor's appearance, the queen probably didn't expect it either. This is really a mess.
The prison was dark and damp. Chen Jingxi leaned against the cold wall, hugging her legs tightly with her hands, staring ahead with empty eyes.
She thought about it and found that no one could save her.
Chu Jinghuai is not in the capital, and distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
As for the Chen family, she knew in her heart that not only would they not lend a helping hand, but they would most likely take the opportunity to add insult to injury in order to protect themselves.
As for the Zhou family, her uncle might petition for mercy, but in the face of the heinous crime of murdering the royal heir, it was already a blessing not to be implicated.
Chen Jingxi took out the golden medal of immunity from death from her arms. It was originally intended for Chu Jinghuai, but Chu Jinghuai didn't want it, so she returned it to her.
Looking at the golden medal of immunity from death, Chen Jingxi hesitated. If she used it, she would save her life, but she would be charged with murdering the heir to the throne.
My *%＄…! #&…’s palace, nothing good ever happens. Can’t she be given a system, a cheat code, or even a fucking Italian cannon? She’s going to blow this damn palace up.
Hang up the emperor and beat him.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!! Destroy them all!"
“I’m so annoyed!”
