Mu Ci originally wanted to report to the Queen Mother, arrest that man, and confront Yang Shuxuan directly. He had ways to prevent Yang Shuxuan from denying it. However, Ye An felt that the plot could be more complete, so he wanted to use the opponent's trick against him.
If the emperor wants to participate, who can say no?
Ye An was sharpening his knife to plot against Concubine Yang. One moment he wanted to fake a miscarriage, the next moment he wanted to fake bleeding - he also enthusiastically asked An Erxue whether he should come out from behind, and whether he could give him a blood pack. Mu Ci felt his solar plexus throbbing non-stop, and had a headache.
"Xiao An, it's cold, put on your clothes first."
Mu Ci carried Ye An, who was wearing a robe, around the waist and brought him back to the house. It seemed necessary to let his young man know that some things should not be said casually.
After Ye An was taught a lesson by Mu Ci, he became much more obedient. He no longer wanted to perform any difficult performances. He also felt uncomfortable seeing blood, but he didn't even think of it at first. Mu Ci didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Ye Xiaoan's stupidity during pregnancy was still intermittent. It was indeed a good idea to take advantage of her. He only allowed Ye An to lie on the dragon bed and pretend to be uncomfortable.
In the evening, the Xuande Hall urgently summoned the imperial physicians, and all the doctors on duty in the Imperial Medical Bureau were dispatched.
The emperor is pregnant with the prince, so any disturbance is a big deal!
When the empress dowager learned about it, she rushed over from Changle Palace and entered Xuande Hall, only to see the imperial doctors gathered in a circle outside, talking loudly about the emperor's condition. The empress dowager was so anxious that she ignored the imperial doctors and rushed into the bedroom. She saw the emperor wrapped in a brocade quilt and half-lying on the dragon bed, his face ruddy, his eyes bright, and he was instructing the concubine to feed him chicken legs.
Queen Mother: “…”
When Ye An saw his mother coming, he immediately threw off the quilt and sat up. There was no sign of anything wrong with his bulging belly.
The Queen Mother rubbed her brows and said, "An'er, what's wrong with you?"
Ye An gave Mu Ci a look, not wanting him to speak, and he took the Queen Mother aside and told her everything.
Since it was the emperor who said it, the empress dowager was immediately angry. Concubine Yang was really bold. Last time, Concubines Qiao and Yang questioned the heir to the throne, the empress dowager concluded that they wanted to bring Mu Ci down. For the sake of the grand tutor and the grand guardian, the empress dowager did not pursue the matter. After sending people to verify the inn that Mu Ci mentioned, the empress dowager personally ordered the eunuchs to fill in the Cheng'enlu, and then report to Jinhua Palace and Chengming Palace respectively, hoping that the two would be quiet.
Concubine Qiao was reprimanded, and Concubine Yang was still under house arrest, and each of them was punished to serve the emperor for one year. But no one expected that even after such a situation, Concubine Yang would still extend her hand to the Xuande Hall. At this time, harming the prince would be harming the emperor. How could the empress dowager bear it?
Knowing that the emperor was going to punish Concubine Yang, the queen mother realized that everyone in and outside the house was acting at the moment. The queen mother glanced at Ye An calmly and said, "Since you are not feeling well, go and lie down. I will come."
Ye An, whose leading role was suddenly snatched away from him, said: "..."
The empress dowager was indeed a master of palace fighting. She ordered the eunuchs to go to each palace to summon the concubines to the Xuande Hall. The emperor was not feeling well, so she asked them to serve him. Except for Concubine De, Wen Ziran was seriously ill, and the imperial physician tactfully suggested that the empress dowager allow him to stay in Ruixuexuan and not come out. However, the Queen Mother was not so easy to talk to when it came to another person who had been ill for a long time, Yang Shuxuan.
Yang Shuxuan felt guilty and wanted to come over to take a look in person, but he knew very well that he might have offended the Queen Mother last time, so he did not complain in private. After paying his respects, he waited outside the palace with the other concubines.
Although the Empress Dowager ordered them to serve her, not everyone had the opportunity to show up in front of the Emperor, and it was still the Concubine Chen who accompanied the Emperor in the palace. Hearing that all the imperial doctors had been summoned, the concubines were worried as they didn't know what had happened to the emperor.
Qiao Yunting glared at Yang Shuxuan from a distance. He suspected that Concubine Yang had done something. Yang Shuxuan did not argue, but smiled sinisterly and lowered his head.
Not long after, the emperor in the hall cried out in pain loudly, and the concubines were terrified. The voice became very weak, and after a few cries, it returned to dead silence.
The Queen Mother walked out with heavy steps, supported by the eunuchs. Li Yao held a tray in her hand, on which was a bright yellow dragon robe with shocking blood stains underneath the hem.
The Queen Mother looked down at the concubines and asked coldly, "Tell me, who did this to Long Si?"
The concubines who were familiar with each other looked at each other, trying to guess who the murderer was. They were indeed jealous because the Concubine Chen made the Emperor pregnant. However, if they did anything to the unborn child at this time, it would endanger the Emperor. If anything happened to the Emperor, it would be a huge disaster for them. Who was so blind as to dare to joke about the Emperor's safety? !
Li Guiji had been released from her confinement and came out on her knees anxiously, saying, "Please tell me, Queen Mother, what happened to the Emperor?"
The Queen Mother snorted, "Someone used red flowers on the Emperor."
All the concubines gasped. Li Guiji didn't react for a moment and asked in a daze, "Red flowers, what are they used for?"
The Queen Mother's eyes darkened, and a eunuch stepped forward with a wooden face and slapped Li Guiji in the face.
There was a crisp sound, which made one's heart tremble.
The Queen Mother said sternly, "If you don't even know this, what use are you?"
Li Guiji's handsome and fair face suddenly swelled up. She dared not utter a word and kowtowed repeatedly to apologize.
The concubines understood that the empress dowager was venting her anger on them, which showed that the emperor's pregnancy was indeed in danger.
Another shrill cry of pain was heard in the originally silent hall.
Yang Shuxuan was sandwiched among the concubines, squinting his eyes. He imagined the emperor's panic-stricken look with tears in his eyes, but the sound sounded extremely beautiful and comfortable to him!
Inside the Xuan De Hall, Ye An tried several times, but the effect of his screams was not very realistic. He wanted Mu Ci to pinch him, but Mu Ci refused.
Ye An had no choice but to pinch himself. He was very ruthless to himself and left red marks on his arms. He was almost in tears. Mu Ci couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he gently pinched his round butt.
Unexpectedly, Ye An screamed miserably. After screaming, he moved towards Mu Ci, threw him a coquettish look, and motioned him to continue.
Mu Ci put his arm around Ye An's restless waist, and the two of them listened to the Queen Mother's lecture outside the palace.
If something like this happens, who would dare to take the initiative to admit it?
The concubines dared not say a word. After the empress dowager finished scolding them, she ordered them to continue kneeling and sent eunuchs to search the palace, even the empty palaces were not spared.
"Since no one has claimed responsibility, I will find out who it is and deal with him directly."
Something like safflower would not appear out of nowhere. Even if it was burned, there would be ashes left. The palace search this time was extremely strict. Other things that could promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis were found in several palaces. Although they were not safflower, the empress dowager took drastic measures. Since she had made it clear in advance, she also punished the corresponding concubines.
Eunuchs kept coming to drag people away, and those who were still kneeling outside the hall were terrified, fearing that something would be found and they would be in trouble.
"Your Majesty, everything is normal at Jinhua Palace."
Qiao Yunting breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yang Shuxuan. Although Concubine Yang was still coughing from time to time, she looked very calm, as if she was sure that there would be no problem with his Chengming Palace.
The eunuch hurried over and said, "Empress Dowager, there is something strange in Chengming Palace. The servants found a secret room with a medicine bowl inside and unground safflower at the bottom."
"impossible!"
Yang Shuxuan was horrified.
“Yang Fei, what else do you have to say?” The Queen Mother looked at him indifferently and said, “The Emperor is pregnant with a prince, and he promoted you to the position of the fourth concubine. You should be grateful, but you turned around and plotted to murder the prince. Do you still have the Emperor and me in your eyes?”
The Queen Mother threw a teacup at her. Concubine Yang turned her body to avoid it and shouted, "Queen Mother, there is absolutely no red flower in your palace. Someone must have framed you..."
"It's just one side of the story." The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows. "There's nothing else in the Imperial Palace except your Chengming Palace. How do you want to explain it?"
"Empress Dowager!" Qiao Yunting said loudly, "Your Highness can testify for Concubine Yang!"
Qiao Yunting? !
Yang Shuxuan opened his eyes wide. Didn’t Concubine Qiao have a falling out with him?
Qiao Yunting glanced at Yang Shuxuan and said slowly, "I heard Concubine Yang say not long ago that if there is no heir..."
"Qiao Yunting, that was just a joke!" Yang Shuxuan was angry.
Qiao Yunting said coldly: "I told you not to attack the emperor, otherwise I will not let you go. You have the intention to harm the heir to the throne, and Honghua was found in your Chengming Palace. What else do you have to say? Yang Shuxuan, even though your father is the Grand Tutor and has great power in the court, I will not allow you to do such a heinous thing!"
The Queen Mother nodded, and she was also very satisfied with Concubine Qiao's defection.
Yang Shuxuan said anxiously: "Queen Dowager, I was really wronged. If it was you who did it, why would you leave the medicine bowl behind..."
He heard that something had happened to the emperor, and he had seen his confidant throw away the medicine bowl with his own eyes, so how could it suddenly appear in some inexplicable dark room!
At this time, someone in the hall said, "In addition to the medicine bowl, there is also a witness, Yang Shuxuan, do you want to see him?"
Mu Ci walked out slowly, his eyes filled with frost and snow.
Before Yang Shuxuan could respond, Mu Ci had already ordered his attendants to bring a eunuch forward. Yang Shuxuan recognized at a glance that this was his confidant.
The confidant knelt down and cried, "Master, I was very careful, but who knew I would be caught by the Concubine Chen's people..."
Yang Shuxuan pushed him away and screamed, "You're talking nonsense. I never asked you to harm Long Si!"
"You didn't?" Mu Ci said indifferently, "Isn't he your man? If he didn't have your permission, how could he have stayed outside the Xuande Hall for several days?"
"I really didn't! Mu Ci, you framed me! You, you and Concubine Qiao——"
Yang Shuxuan suddenly realized a fact: the forces among the three dukes were balanced, and there had never been an eternal alliance. He could join forces with Qiao Yunting, so why couldn't Mu Ci?
"You must have framed me..."
Yang Shuxuan was so excited that he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. Mu Ci walked up to him and squatted down, whispering in a tone that only the two of them could hear: "You dared to harm Xiao An and the child, so what if I retaliate against you once? I'm just returning the medicine bowl you threw away."
Yang Shuxuan said with difficulty: "I said it, it's not me..."
"Really?" Mu Ci said indifferently, "Then how do you explain your injuries?"
Yang Shuxuan was stunned: "How could you..."
How did you know he was injured?
Mu Ci stood up and said, "To deal with you, of course we must know ourselves and the enemy. You have been ill for a long time, long enough to make people suspicious. I ordered people to check your pulse records in the Imperial Hospital, but there was nothing. The imperial doctors all said that you have been ill for a long time, but you have never called them to see you. Now that the imperial doctors are here, Yang Shuxuan, dare you let the imperial doctors take your pulse to see what disease you have?"
“No, no…”
Yang Shuxuan stepped back in fear. He was already very thin, and Mu Ci easily grabbed his arm and casually called two imperial doctors over.
Two imperial doctors examined him one after another and both said, "It's a symptom of a serious injury that has not yet healed."
"Concubine Yang Shu." Mu Ci smiled, "Can you explain how you got seriously injured in the palace?"
Since Concubine Yang's confidant was captured by the secret guards, Mu Ci basically knew the details of the "disease". Because the confidant had some knowledge of medicine, Concubine Yang did not seek help from the imperial physician, but asked the confidant to diagnose and treat the disease instead. It was just that the time when he was seriously injured suddenly reminded Mu Ci of the person who wanted to force Ye Xiaoan, but was beaten by him and ran away.
