Eunuch Li realized that something was unusual almost instantly.
Although he handed the wine glass to the imperial physician, he still couldn't help asking, "Sir, this wine?"
The imperial physician first glanced at the wine glass in his hand, then looked at Eunuch Li and nodded gravely, "It's almost certain."
Eunuch Li took a deep breath.
Originally, I just thought that the emperor was drunk and had made a mistake. Although it sounds a bit harsh to say it out loud, it is simple after all and it will be fine after a while.
But if the emperor lost his mind because he was drugged, then this would be a troublesome matter.
Such a filthy thing actually appeared at the Second Prince's wedding banquet and harmed the dragon seed in Concubine Yu's belly.
I'm afraid that even cutting that man into pieces will not be able to calm the emperor's anger.
After all, that man had the emperor kill his own child himself.
It's obvious that the emperor will never let him go.
Eunuch Li also began to curse this man in his heart.
He thought similarly to the emperor, wondering if one of the concubines had taken the wrong path in order to win favor.
So during the period of waiting for the imperial physician to report back, the emperor had people guarding all the exits from the harem, and everyone could only stay in their own palaces, even the queen's palace was no exception.
Nanny Chang felt a little uneasy. She looked back at the queen who was sitting in the hall as still as a mountain, and felt a little worried.
"My Lady."
Although the Queen had been sitting, she knew what Nanny Chang was thinking. When she heard her voice, she couldn't help but comfort her, "Nanny, don't look anymore. Just wait for the Emperor's news."
Nanny Chang walked up to the Empress with a worried look on her face, her brows furrowed. "Your Majesty, I'm really worried. Isn't the Emperor going too far?"
The Queen closed her eyes slightly, a hint of an ambiguous smile on her lips. "Forgive?" She shook her head slowly. "The Emperor doesn't think he's guilty. He just lost a child he'd been waiting for, and he's filled with rage with nowhere to vent. Now it's been discovered that someone deliberately caused tonight's accident. Isn't the Emperor's wrath directed at that person? The entire harem is in the same situation now, except for Concubine Yu, who was personally assigned to Qingning Palace by the Emperor."
Nanny Chang frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, will Concubine Yu become arrogant because of this favor? The Emperor praises her so highly, aren't you afraid that she will ride on your head?"
The Queen mocked, "The Emperor couldn't be happier. His own child was killed by his own father. Do you think Concubine Yu can still treat the Emperor the same way as before? Even if it turns out that someone else framed her, Concubine Yu will only think that the Emperor killed her child. After all, those people in the harem also want the Emperor's favor."
The Queen spoke as she took a sip from her teacup. "I don't know who did this, but I really want to thank her. She's so kind to have solved a major problem for me by accident."
Nanny Chang rolled her eyes, as if she had suddenly thought of something. "Your Majesty, do you think it could be Concubine Xia?"
Xia Qinglu?
The Queen only thought about the name in her mind and shook her head. "It's not her. Judging from her reaction, she only seems to be gloating over Concubine Yu's loss of her child. She doesn't feel guilty or afraid at all. This matter should have nothing to do with her."
If it’s not Xia Qinglu, who else could it be?
The queen couldn't figure it out.
If she couldn't figure it out, she gave up thinking about it. She chuckled and said, "No matter who she is, she is my benefactor. If the emperor ever finds out, we must go and thank him properly."
In Qingning Palace, even though the moon was already at its zenith, the lights were still on.
The emperor looked at Yu Shu, whose face was pale and his expression was dazed, and felt great pain in his heart.
He waved away the servant who wanted to come forward to serve him, took the water cup himself, looked at Yushu with a flattering face, and asked gently, "Yushu, you're awake, do you want some water?"
Yu Shu did not move, did not speak, and did not refuse. He still kept his eyes open, staring straight at the ceiling of the tent, as if he had not heard the emperor's words at all, and had no idea that there was someone sitting next to him.
Seeing this, the emperor felt distressed and guilty, "Yushu, don't be like this, talk to me, or cry, Yushu?"
Yu Shu remained motionless, but crystal tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
The emperor's brows twitched slightly, knowing that this trick was effective, so he put the water cup in his hand aside and talked to Yu Shu attentively.
The imperial physician said that he had to let Yu Shu speak and vent. Otherwise, if she kept holding it in, she would definitely feel depressed and might even get sick.
Thinking of this, the emperor clenched his fists and leaned over Yushu's bed. "Yushu, it's all my fault. If you're angry, just stand up and scold me, or hit me a few times."
"It's my fault that I failed to protect you and the child."
"Don't worry, I've already asked Li Quan to investigate. Once I find out who that person is, I'll tear her into pieces and avenge our child."
"Yushu, talk to me, don't be like this..."
The emperor kept muttering to himself for a long time, but he didn't hear any response from Yu Shu. He gradually became depressed, and even his head, which had always been held high, lowered, and his voice was choked with sobs.
"Jade Book..."
After an unknown amount of time, the emperor suddenly heard a very soft sobbing sound. Although the sound was very small, he still heard it immediately.
He suddenly raised his head and saw Yu Shu's eyes were open, tears already streaming down her face.
The emperor saw this scene and felt a great pain in his heart. "Yu Shu?"
"Wu... Your Majesty..."
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, a look of relief on his face.
"Yushu, Yushu, you are finally willing to pay attention to me. It's my fault. It's all my fault."
He helped Yu Shu up from the bed, held her tightly in his arms, and patted her back again and again, as if to comfort her.
The emperor kept talking on and on, and Yu Shu clutched his clothes tightly, crying convulsively.
"Your Majesty, our child is gone. It's all because I failed to protect him. Your Majesty, it's because I'm unlucky that he doesn't like me as his mother."
Hearing her say this, the emperor felt as if his heart was stabbed with a knife and bleeding.
He hugged Yushu tightly and said, "It's not like that. It's me. It's all my fault. Yushu, don't worry. I will definitely avenge our child. I will definitely."
After hearing his assurance, Yu Shu didn't say much, but just leaned in the emperor's arms and cried silently.
She did not see the murderous intent that flashed across the emperor's eyes.
