Chapter 112 Don’t be afraid, the King is here
"Good, very good!"
Aunt Li was so angry that she almost fainted.
She had always treated the peony pot as a treasure, and she even liked the faint fragrance from the pot even more. Who would have known that the child she had been looking forward to for many years was born because of this pot?
"Master, be careful not to have a miscarriage." Biyu supported her and looked at her belly worriedly, fearing that she would get too excited and have a miscarriage.
"jasper."
Aunt Li held her hand tightly and asked, "Are you sure that the fragrance on the flowerpot is musk?"
"have."
Biyu replied confidently, "Master, I've visited seven or eight pharmacies, and they all say this fragrance contains musk."
"Concubine Fang, I want to see what else you can do to be so arrogant!"
"Isn't it because of her good family background that she became a concubine?"
Aunt Li's eyes were filled with anger and rage, but also with the excitement of having caught someone. She said, "Quick, go get the prince and tell him I'm having a miscarriage!"
"Master, you are deceiving the prince." Biyu said worriedly, "Shouldn't we take a long-term view?"
"What's the point of taking a long-term view? Concubine Fang has been harming me for so many years, how can I bear it anymore?"
Aunt Li said excitedly: "If I tell you to go, go quickly!"
She had only one thought in her mind: she had finally caught such a big handle on Concubine Fang, and she had to make good use of it.
Aunt Li sat on the ground holding her belly, staring at the bag of fragments from afar. After thinking for a while, she moved further away. She couldn't smell any fragrance, so she was worried that she might have a miscarriage.
"No, further away."
Aunt Li moved back and forth, looking at the bag of fragments, feeling frightened and with shining eyes.
Biyu had no choice but to run to the study in the front yard. Seeing Qingwu coming out, Biyu knelt down anxiously and said, "Brother Qingwu, please inform the prince that my mistress is having a miscarriage."
Qingwu immediately retracted his foot from the stairs and asked, "Miss Biyu, have you called a doctor?"
"Not yet." Biyu shook her head.
Qingwu immediately returned to the study to report, saying, "Your Highness, Miss Biyu from Fengdan Courtyard has come to report that Concubine Li has had a miscarriage."
Chu Cong put down his pen and said, "Go and ask Doctor Lin to come. I will go there."
Fontainebleau Courtyard.
"Auntie Li, why are you sitting on the ground? What happened? Where is Biyu? Cuiyu?" Aunt Hua had just come out of the kitchen and saw Li Susu huddled in the corner, staring at a bag at the door. She was extremely worried.
"Auntie Hua, don't shout."
Li Susu quickly spoke up, wanting to step forward but not daring to. She stared at Nanny Hua and said, "Biyu has gone to invite the prince. Nanny Hua, please don't touch anything on the ground!"
Cuiyu, she didn't believe it. After all, Hai Jiaren had a previous experience where she was betrayed by Yindian and ended up dying in the farm!
She is pregnant now, and she wants to give birth to the baby safely. She doesn't want to die!
"Don't move." Aunt Hua looked at the things in the bag and could vaguely see broken... porcelain pieces?
"Auntie Li, the ground is cold. You are still pregnant, so it is not suitable for you to sit on the ground." Aunt Hua stared at Li Susu's belly and was worried that sitting on the ground would hurt the baby in her belly.
"Oh, yes, I need to sit up."
Li Susu held onto the washbasin stand in the corner and tried to stand up, but in the end, she found that her whole body was trembling and she was weak.
clang.
The washbasin stand fell to the ground.
"Auntie Li."
Aunt Hua was anxiously trying to step forward, but Li Susu sternly said, "Don't come over here!"
Aunt Hua paused in her steps and looked at Li Susu's expression. She felt uneasy. Could it be that Aunt Li was being too cautious and had gone crazy?
"Auntie Li, you, you stand still, I won't come over." Aunt Hua said soothingly. If you don't compare, you won't know. Once you compare, Aunt Hua found that it was much easier to take care of Shen Lingshu when she was pregnant.
"I'm fine."
Aunt Li leaned against the wall to steady herself. Now, she would only feel at ease when she saw the prince.
Chu Cong was outside the yard when he heard the clanging sound. He strode forward and looked at Li Susu in the corner, frowning: "What's going on?"
"My Lord, you are finally here!"
The moment Li Susu saw Chu Cong, she threw herself into his arms: "The concubine wants to harm me, and even my belly."
Li Susu was like a frightened bird. After she became pregnant, she was afraid that others would harm her every day. Not only did she not gain weight, but she lost a lot of weight. Now she curled up in his arms, looking small and exquisite.
She was trembling with fear. Chu Cong raised his hand, patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, the king is here."
"Mrs. Li, you just said that Concubine Fang wanted to harm you? Could it be these fragments?"
Aunt Hua squatted down, opened the bag, looked at the broken porcelain pieces, smelled them, and then her face changed: "This, this smell of broken porcelain pieces..."
Nanny Hua sniffed again and again before she said solemnly, "Your Highness, the fragrance of these porcelain fragments has a hint of musk. It must be that a special blend of spices was added to the porcelain when it was fired!"
"This is forbidden!" Aunt Hua said with a gloomy face. At first, some people took it out to use, but later, some people found that they could add special medicines to this scented porcelain, and the fragrance would be difficult to detect, so the royal family banned it!
But I didn’t expect that it still exists now.
Aunt Hua stood outside holding the broken porcelain pieces, fearing that if Aunt Li smelled them, it might cause her to have a miscarriage, which would be terrible.
"Your Highness, that flowerpot was a gift from the concubine. I love it very much. Before, I couldn't get pregnant. But this past March, I accidentally broke the flowerpot. I couldn't buy a replacement, so I kept the pieces in the warehouse, thinking of buying another one next time I go to Kyoto!"
"Who knew, after the flowerpot broke, I would be pregnant in May!"
"Your Highness, if I hadn't heard that Deji's newly opened porcelain shop was selling peony pots like this, I wouldn't have asked Biyu to buy them. I wouldn't have discovered that there was musk in the porcelain pieces of the pots."
Li Susu's words were fast and urgent. She looked at Chu Cong excitedly and raised her hand to swear, "Your Highness, every word I say is true. If I tell even a single lie, I will never be able to be a mother in this life and will go to hell after death."
"Qingwu."
Chu Cong opened his mouth and said, "Bring Concubine Fang here."
His face was gloomy. If this was true, then wouldn't it be that the flowerpot was the cause of his childlessness?
"Madam Hua, take your people to each courtyard to see if there are such flower pots in every courtyard!" Chu Cong's voice sounded like it was squeezed out from between his teeth.
"yes."
Nanny Hua also realized the seriousness of the matter and went out immediately. Nanny Hua first went to Yiheyuan and the East and West Courtyards. When Qi Qing and Cheng Lanshu saw Nanny Hua coming with two guards, they were shocked.
"Madam Hua, what happened? Why are you searching my house?"
Qi Qing stopped Aunt Hua and said, "You have to have a reason to search my room, right?"
