Chapter 236: Questioning the

crime The children who had caused the trouble were brought up and stood in a row in fear and anxiety.

Everyone was able to take a closer look at the children and was shocked.

Among the five children, two were Yu Cheng's sons, and the other three were sons of clan members. They were all only a few years old and stood there trembling, looking like they wanted to cry but couldn't.

The emperor looked at the children with cold eyes. He was full of anger but had nowhere to vent it.

He hadn't asked anything yet, but he was already scared to tears. If he got angry again, he might not be able to ask anything, and he would just cry.

The emperor frowned, suppressed his anger, and asked calmly, "Why did you bump into Princess Jing? Whose idea was it?"

If it was just an accident, it would be fine, but if someone instigated it, it would be a big deal.

Everyone knew what was going on, and they stood outside the palace, holding their breath and not daring to speak.

The children looked at each other, and finally looked at Yu Haolin and said, "He fell first, and we fell with him."

"Is that so? Haolin?" The emperor stared at Yu Haolin and asked.

Yu Haolin trembled and said, "Grandfather, I didn't mean to do it. I accidentally tripped."

Yu Haolin was less than four years old, and it was normal for him to stumble and fall while chasing.

But the strange thing was that they just bumped into Jiang Shu.

Someone said, "The garden was full of people, except for the empty space next to Princess Jing."

This made sense.

A group of ignorant children would naturally play wherever they could.

"Did you lie?" The emperor looked at the children one by one.

The children shook their heads in panic: "No."

The queen said at the right time: "The children are still young, they will definitely not lie, this should be just an accident."

Cao Muxue also said: "I was negligent in this matter. I didn't take good care of Haolin and Haoyan, and let them get into trouble."

Yu Haolin is Xie Wanruo's son, and Yu Haoyan is Cao Muxue's child.

Cao Muxue's words seemed to put all the blame on herself, but in fact she was hinting that Xie Wanruo didn't take good care of the children, which led to Jiang Shu's accidental collision.

Xie Wanruo took Jiang Shu and used him as a flesh pad to make up for Yu Haolin, so she couldn't blame anyone.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me..." The parents of the three clan members' sons also came forward to plead guilty.

However, it was just a few children, and the matter had already come to this point. Moreover, the culprit was Yu Cheng's son, and the clan members' sons were just innocently implicated. If they pursued it further, it would be narrow-minded and unforgiving.

"Okay, the children have been frightened, take them back to calm down." The emperor waved his hand, indicating that the matter was over.

The palace banquet was about to end, and with such a thing happening, no one wanted to stay any longer, and they left the palace one after another.

After the clan members left, only the emperor's family was left in the palace.

The emperor looked at Jiang Shu, who was still in shock, and then at Xie Wanruo, who was weak and enduring pain, and his brows were almost knotted.

Although Yu Haolin hit Jiang Shu, Xie Wanruo protected Jiang Shu, which resulted in her own child being in danger. It was really a headache to judge who was right and wrong.

"Haoyan, quickly apologize to the Third Emperor's Aunt and Empress Xie." Cao Muxue pulled Yu Haoyan.

Yu Haoyan is two years older than Yu Haolin and is only six years old this year.

After hearing what Cao Muxue said, Yu Haoyan stepped forward and apologized to Jiang Shu and Xie Wanruo in a timid voice.

Xie Wanruo clenched her hands and hated Cao Muxue in her heart.

Regardless of whether this was an accident or not, Cao Muxue's words and actions were secretly pressing, putting all the blame on Yu Haolin.

If Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng wanted to investigate, it would be Yu Haolin's fault.

What a vicious mind!

Xie Wanruo was furious, and felt the pain in her abdomen getting worse. She couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Ah!"

Yu Cheng, who was standing by, couldn't tell right from wrong, and hurriedly asked Doctor Chen to examine Xie Wanruo.

After Doctor Chen made a careful diagnosis, he said in a panic: "The queen's child...cannot be saved."

Xie Wanruo heard the pain and finally fainted.

Yu Cheng hurriedly ordered: "Come, take the concubine back to the East Palace."

Finally, Yu Cheng covered his chest and apologized to Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng: "I am sorry for this matter. I accept whatever you want, but now I have to take Wanruo and Haolin back first. Please forgive me."

No matter what, it is a fact that his two children hit Jiang Shu and caused her to get into trouble.

Although Yu Zheng was angry, Jiang Shu was fine after all, and Xie Wanruo's child was no longer safe.

Even if Yu Haolin was wrong, Xie Wanruo had already paid it back.

Facing Yu Cheng who apologized sincerely, Yu Zhengjun said solemnly: "This matter ends here, no need to say more."

"Thank you." Yu Cheng apologized, bowed to the emperor and empress, and left with Xie Wanruo and Yu Haolin.

Seeing Yu Cheng defending Xie Wanruo and her son in this way, Cao Muxue was jealous and resentful, and her hands in her sleeves were tightly wrapped around the handkerchief.

The queen glanced at her, her eyes were long and her expression was difficult to discern.

"Do you feel uncomfortable?" Concubine Yu asked Jiang Shu in a gentle voice, worried and concerned.

Jiang Shu shook her head and her face turned pale.

She was not unwell, but she was really scared.

Yu Zheng bowed to the emperor and said, "Shu'er was frightened. I am taking her back to the palace."

"Yes. Take good care of her. The child is important." The emperor agreed and ordered the palace servants to send them out of the palace in a sedan chair. Yu Lan and Zhuang Yan also left.

The right and wrong of this matter were clear, but it was difficult to trace the responsibility, so it could only be left unresolved.

The emperor had a headache and asked the queen to go to the East Palace to see Xie Wanruo.

"Yes." The queen got up and took the child to the East Palace with Cao Muxue.

When they arrived at Xie Wanruo's yard, they saw the palace servants carrying basins of blood and hurriedly coming out of the house.

Cao Muxue's eyes flashed slightly, and she was ecstatic.

The queen turned her head and gave her a warning look, then stepped into the house.

There was no doubt that Xie Wanruo's child was gone.

Xie Wanruo closed her eyes and lay on the bed, looking pale. Yu Chengshou stood by the bed, his face full of grief.

"How is your majesty?" the queen asked Doctor Chen.

Doctor Chen said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has bled too much and hurt yourself too much. I'm afraid..."

"Go on." The queen's voice was cold.

Doctor Chen said with a stiff face, "I'm afraid you won't be able to get pregnant again."

If the body is in good condition, you can get pregnant again after a few years of careful care after the miscarriage. But when Xie Wanruo gave birth to Yu Haolin, she had dystocia and bleeding. Now she has suffered this disaster again. She really can't bear it.

After hearing this, the queen was silent for a long time, walked up to Yu Cheng and said, "Cheng'er, things have come to this point. It's useless to be sad. Wanruo still needs your care. You have to take care of yourself."

"Your son knows." Yu Cheng replied sadly.

The queen took a deep look at Xie Wanruo who was unconscious on the bed, and left with Cao Muxue.

Cao Muxue knew that the queen had something to say to her, so she went back to the courtyard and closed the door.

"Aunt..."

"Pa!"

As soon as Cao Muxue opened her mouth, the queen slapped her hard.

Cao Muxue covered her burning face and looked at the queen aggrieved.

The queen said coldly: "Who gave you the courage? How dare you murder Cheng'er's offspring."

Although she didn't like Xie Wanruo, the child Xie Wanruo was pregnant with was of Yucheng's bloodline.

It's okay to touch adults, but not children, this is the bottom line.

Cao Muxue's eyes flashed, and she defended herself: "I... I didn't, it was just an accident."

The queen snorted, stared at her with a cold look and asked: "Just an accident?"
