Fortunately, their master didn't step forward or say anything inappropriate, otherwise he would have incurred the Empress Dowager's wrath.
"It's alright, it's not your fault. If they wanted to, they could have stopped them."
When gathering information, it usually passes through several hands before being relayed back.
Chen Yuwei did not completely trust the accuracy of these messages, but only treated them as a reference.
The awkward thing is that the previous references were valuable, but today's are completely useless.
Listening to the conversation between Chen Yuwei and her servant Xia He, Keliye Teshuying thought for a moment and then added in a low voice, "Just now, Consort Gao was punished by the Empress Dowager with three months' worth of allowance for talking nonsense."
Shortly before Chen Yuwei entered, after all, Chengqian Palace is quite close to Jingren Palace.
“It seems that Consort Keliye knows quite a lot,” Chen Yuwei said with a smile as she saw the other woman trying to curry favor with her. “The Empress Dowager is very concerned about the pregnancies of Consort Jin and Consort Yi. Consort Gao has always been known for her harsh words, so it’s normal that she might have accidentally offended the Empress Dowager.”
Not to mention that Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi were pregnant, even before they were pregnant, Gao Hongshan and Consort Hui were constantly bickering, and the Empress Dowager was helping Consort Hui to settle scores with Gao Hongshan.
This time, given Gao Hongshan's stubbornness and tendency to argue even when she's wrong, she probably used fake news as a pretext and completely fell into a trap.
The Empress Dowager and the Empress were visiting Consort Yi in a side hall, while Consort Jin was resting on her bed in the inner room. However, due to the screen blocking their view and the Empress Dowager's decree, the other concubines would not have the opportunity to see anyone today.
However, not seeing them isn't a big problem. Jin Yi and Consort Yi... Anyway, Chen Yuwei doesn't want to have any contact with them. What if something happens to those two and she gets the blame?
Lost in thought, Chen Yuwei turned to thank Keliye Teshuying, then went to sit down on a chair not far away.
It's impossible to make her stand; she's pregnant, so she has to maintain a certain image.
After seeing that Chen Yuwei had left, Keliye Teshuying thought about it for a while and decided to sit down with her.
At this moment, the situation in the main hall of Jingren Palace was somewhat delicate.
The crowd was divided into several groups; to the uninitiated, it would have looked like they were there for a banquet.
About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later, the Empress helped the Empress Dowager walk in from outside the door.
The Empress Dowager was not as serious as expected; on the contrary, she smiled with great pride.
Although the empress beside him was also smiling, she looked forced, especially with the dark circles and wrinkles around her eyes and brows.
Tsk, why does the Empress look so worried after just a few days?
"Imperial Physician Sun, go and examine Consort Jin again. She is safe now, that's all that matters. I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that they can all keep this pregnancy."
After saying that, Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, a little old man with a white beard, exclaimed "Hey!" and ran into the inner room with his small medicine box.
Unlike when they examined Consort Hui's pulse before, everyone had a preconceived notion.
It seems that the final outcome of this matter will not be as they hoped.
Why
Why didn't she miscarry?
Most people harbored such malicious thoughts, and some even wished they could personally go up and finish them off.
Unfortunately, there were no convenient conditions, and it was impossible to completely avoid being caught by the Empress Dowager; he could only indulge in empty talk.
The wait for results is always long, especially for people like them who have been carefully tricked into coming here.
I originally came here just to watch the fun, but I ended up becoming part of the fun for others.
Chen Yuwei lowered her head and glanced down, moving her wrist idly.
Thud—
Physician Sun bowed and emerged from behind the screen in the inner room. "Congratulations, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager. Although Consort Jin has experienced a miscarriage, she will be fine after a period of rest."
The Empress Dowager gestured for Physician Sun to rise. She sat on the couch, surrounded by a circle of concubines from the harem. "Physician Sun, Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi have suffered quite a fright this time. As the head of the Imperial Hospital, your medical skills are superb, so you must take extra care of them."
Imperial Physician Sun repeatedly agreed, saying, "Your Majesty is too kind. I will do my utmost."
The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction and gestured to the maid beside her to see Physician Sun off. She then turned around, took the Empress's hand, and thanked her profusely.
Chen Yuwei was too far away to hear clearly, so she could only rely on the system in her mind for help.
Fortunately, at this time, the system did not cause any trouble (or perhaps the system was more interested in gossip than its host, Chen Yuwei), and quietly relayed the inside story on behalf of Chen Yuwei.
As she listened, Chen Yuwei's expression turned strange. "Is the Empress Dowager being sarcastic towards the Empress?"
The claims of meritorious management of the harem, impartiality, and timely intervention are all inconsistent with the current situation.
The system agreed, "It's like she's being sarcastic. Although the empress's anger isn't obvious, her breathing is rapid," clearly indicating that she's feeling frustrated and unable to express it.
"With the Empress Dowager and the Empress being pitted against each other, whose side do you think the Emperor will choose?"
Chen Yuwei, though her mouth remained silent, was secretly tempted and promptly presented the system with a difficult problem.
The system lives up to its name, calculating directly using probability: "Empress Dowager"
Regardless, the Empress Dowager holds the moral high ground; how could the Emperor possibly oppose his own mother?
Chen Yuwei smiled, thinking that the system just didn't understand human relationships.
"The Emperor will side with the Empress, and you can tell from the Empress's actions." If the Emperor side with the Empress Dowager, how could he not pay any attention to the three Niohuru clan members? Now, the pregnancies of these three women (excluding Consort Hui's) are all being protected by the Empress Dowager with utmost care.
The system was puzzled. "The Empress Dowager has already concluded that the Empress was behind it. The Empress's position is currently unstable. What good is it for the Emperor to side with the Empress?"
Once the matter was leaked, the Empress's reputation was immediately tarnished.
The emperor cares most about his reputation, and with the empress holding him back, he would definitely choose to abandon her immediately.
