Concubine Rong walked to Concubine Xian and Li Chaoyun with a smile on her face, and looked at Li Chaoyun with a friendly smile on her face.
"Princess, if you have time, come and visit me."
Then he said in a very low voice: "For what happened today, I have to thank the princess very much."
"And last time, it was all thanks to the princess's help. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to get that thing."
She seemed to have deliberately lowered her voice, but in fact, every word she said fell into the ears of Concubine Xian.
Li Chaoyun was confused. She didn't understand a word Rong Fei said.
Just as she was about to ask for clarification, Concubine Rong patted her shoulder and left.
Li Chaoyun was not a stupid person. He understood Rong Fei's meaning in a flash.
She was afraid that Concubine Xian would misunderstand, so she hurried forward and grabbed Concubine Xian's arm, "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand. Concubine Rong is deliberately trying to alienate us."
Xianfei had been wondering how Rongfei had gotten hold of the scroll. After hearing what Rongfei had said to Li Chaoyun, it suddenly became clear. It was indeed easier for Li Chaoyun to obtain evidence than for others.
Under normal circumstances, with Concubine Xian's mind and means, she would naturally be able to see that Concubine Rong did it on purpose.
But today she was being pressed step by step, and in the end her power fell into the hands of others. She was now burning with anger.
At this time, she lost her rational judgment and believed that Li Chaoyun had betrayed her.
The moment Li Chaoyun grabbed her sleeve, Concubine Xian shook it off hard.
He said coldly: "You know what's going on. If you didn't..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Chaoyun stepped back in haste and fell to the ground.
Qiandai, the maid beside Li Chaoyun, turned pale with fright and quickly knelt on the ground to help her up.
"Princess, how are you? Where did you fall?"
Li Chaoyun's fall actually brought back Concubine Xian's sanity. Knowing that she had just lost her composure, she also stepped forward and looked at Li Chaoyun apologetically.
I wanted to say a few soft words to ease the relationship between the two sides.
But before she could finish her words, she heard Li Chaoyun exclaim, "Qiandai, my stomach... hurts."
Immediately afterwards, the blood from under Li Chaoyun's body seeped out along his clothes and flowed into the cracks of the bluestone slabs.
Qian Dai looked at the glaring red on the ground and shouted quickly, "Come here, come here quickly. Our princess is pregnant, please call the imperial physician."
The virtuous concubine stood aside, horrified. Li Chaoyun was pregnant? She didn't know.
And she was just angry at the moment, so she swung her arm. Who knew she would fall?
Su Qingyu also looked at Li Chaoyun in surprise. It turned out that she was not sick, but pregnant.
As the elder of the Shen family, Su Qingyu should step forward. She lifted her skirt and squatted beside Li Chaoyun.
"Princess, how are you? I've sent for the imperial physician."
Li Chaoyun's face was twisted with pain, and he couldn't hear what Su Qingyu was saying at all.
Princess Yongjia, who was resting in a side hall, also heard the sound and trotted to Li Chaoyun.
"Chao Yun, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Mother."
Rong Fei walked closer and looked at Xian Fei, "Even if you are angry, please don't take it out on the princess."
"I didn't. I didn't push her on purpose, and I didn't know she was pregnant." Concubine Xian tried to explain.
"You didn't? With so many people watching you, you're still trying to argue. I really misjudged you. Come, strip the title of Consort Xian and demote her to a talented lady."
Emperor Xuande had already walked out of the palace with his court officials and sent Concubine Xian to his death without saying a word.
Immediately afterwards, Li Chaoyun was carried to the side hall by Shen Zhao, and Liu Yuanzheng from the Imperial Hospital also hurried over.
But in the end, the baby in Li Chaoyun's belly could not be saved and she had a miscarriage.
Su Qingyu had done all the things she was supposed to do. Since Princess Yongjia was inside, she naturally didn't need to go any closer.
She and Song Wanwan stood outside the side hall, watching the crowd slowly disperse.
Due to Li Chaoyun's sudden miscarriage, the subsequent memorial ceremony was cancelled. The ladies of the various clans left the Fengxian Hall one after another.
Those who stayed were Li Chaoyun's closest relatives, such as Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu, and those who wanted to watch the fun, such as Song Wanwan.
At this time, Song Wanwan muttered in a low voice: “This is also her retribution. If she hadn’t calculated the intention of Uncle Shen, how could she end up like this.”
"In my opinion, the child probably left because he didn't want to have a vicious mother."
Su Qingyu suddenly remembered Cheng Ruijin's curse before her death. She said that Chen Zhao would have no descendants.
It seems that some things are hard to say whether they are retribution or not.
Later, someone came to deliver a message saying that Zimei, who had previously served the spirit tablet of the late queen, had committed suicide.
Su Qingyu and Song Wanwan looked at each other, and both guessed that it must be the work of the prince.
Song Wanwan snorted, "It's better for her to die. If the prince doesn't kill her, I won't let her live."
As for asking Zimei to identify the prince, Song Wanwan had never thought of it. A prince of that status was not something a palace maid could bring down.
Although Li Chaoyun had a miscarriage in the palace, she couldn't stay there to recuperate after the baby was born. Afterwards, she took a carriage and returned to the Shen family accompanied by Shen Zhao.
Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu also went back with them. As the elder and the head lady of the Shen family, Su Qingyu had the responsibility to settle Li Chaoyun.
Some things are not done for Li Chaoyun, but for others to see.
So after returning home, supplements from the West Courtyard were sent to the Hanshui Courtyard like water.
When the old lady heard that Li Chaoyun had miscarried, she was heartbroken for a long time. Shen Yue was worried and could only stay by her side.
After comforting the old lady, Su Qingyu took the supplements that the old lady gave to Li Chaoyun and went to Hanshuiyuan.
Shen Zhao was away at the time, and the Crown Prince was being punished, so it was time for the Zhanshi Mansion to work together to come up with a solution. So after sending Li Chaoyun back, Shen Zhao hurried out.
When Su Qingyu entered, Li Chaoyun was lying weakly on the bed.
Seeing her come in, he frowned and asked.
"What are you doing here? Don't think I don't know that what happened today is closely related to you."
