Chapter 10: A Prostitute from a Lowly Family



"Of course it's true!"

The main focus is on truth.

The imperial physician had not arrived yet, and Chen Miaoyi didn't want to make her voice hoarse, so she fell on the bed, her head covered in cold sweat, and closed her eyes to rest without making a sound.

"Master, Master! Mammy, please look, Master..."

Baizhi turned pale with fright. Nanny Li was also frightened by Baizhi and hurried forward to check her breathing.

Chen Miaoyi frowned in disdain. Did Nanny Li eat garlic at noon?

Fortunately, fortunately, I am still breathing.

"Baizhi, stop talking nonsense, my dear. We are blessed with a long life and will definitely be fine. Go and see if the imperial physician has arrived."

"Here he comes, the imperial physician is here!"

The elderly imperial physician was brought here by the emperor as he walked along the road.

"emperor--"

"No need to be polite, just show it to Lady Yi!"

When the emperor walked into the room, he saw the little woman on the bed, with a shocking red stain on the bedding beneath her.

Is this how God wants to torture him?

Give him hope, and then extinguish his hope with your own hands.

Is he unworthy of having children because of his lack of moral character?

The emperor had a lot of thoughts in his mind. Looking at the fragile appearance of that person, she loved beauty the most, and it must be very uncomfortable for her to have her hair sticking to her face with sweat.

He felt pity and heartache.

The sign of love is to feel pity for someone and feel distressed for that person.

Instead of thinking that she looked ugly and shameful at the moment.

"Your Majesty, the noble lady has been poisoned. The poison contains ingredients that can cause miscarriage."

"Can the royal heir be saved?" The emperor's eyes were gloomy, and he poisoned again!

He thought his harem would be different from his father's, but he didn't expect that all women were so cruel and ruthless.

"This old minister has prescribed medicine. The heir has been frightened, but he is safe."

The old doctor's beard twitched, he was quite impressive. In this way, the child could be saved. It was a blessing in disguise that one who survived a great disaster would have good fortune in the future.

He must remember that Xiangsi Palace is a noble lady and he must curry favor with her in the future.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair dejectedly.

God, what's the point of all these twists and turns? Even if it's a princess, it's fine. This little woman is very delicate, and it would be great to have a princess by her side.

"As long as the heir is alright, please investigate what caused Concubine Yi's miscarriage. Such a thing will not be tolerated in my harem."

The imperial physician bowed and asked, "What did you eat today, Your Excellency?"

"For breakfast, I had the shredded chicken porridge and crystal buns sent by the imperial kitchen. I haven't asked for lunch yet, as the noble said he has no appetite."

Chen Miaoyi listened to what Nanny Li said and said, "It's not that I have no appetite, it's just that the snack came too early."

Am I not giving the imperial physician a favor?

"I also ate some snacks sent from the kitchen."

The careful Bai Zhu brought the snacks over. She was the one who brought them back, so she would be responsible if anything went wrong.

Oh, this is so easy, the imperial physician thought. Just by eating these things, we can quickly determine whether the disease is caused by the mouth.

After some investigation, "This snack is fine."

His brows, which had just relaxed, frowned again. This needed to be investigated.

"Ding-dong!"

Chen Miaoyi dropped the spoon in her hand to the ground, shocking everyone.

"emperor………………"

The emperor hurried over and said, "I'm here, don't worry, the child is fine, just take care of him. I will find out the truth."

The emperor looked at her miserable appearance, but he did not feel disgusted or think she was ugly.

He still remembered that when Concubine Xian gave birth to the second princess, she was extremely ugly.

"Your Majesty...I am not afraid. As long as Your Majesty is here, I believe that Your Majesty will make the decision for us."

Chen Miaoyi held the emperor's hand, her eyes full of forbearance and dependence.

This look really resembles the look he had when he looked at his father as a child, so pitiful.

The emperor's Adam's apple moved, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

"Don't worry."

In the end, he just patted her hands and said, "I will protect you."

While the two were brewing the sauce, only the old doctor took the spoon with a serious expression, looking at it again and again, and checking it again and again.

Chen Miaoyi cried out in her heart, "Doctor, I only ate the first half. The second half left so many clues for you. Please don't let me down."

"Your Majesty, I found it!" If it weren't for the wrong timing, the old doctor would have jumped for joy.

"What did you find?"

"Your Majesty, this spoon seems a little strange. There are still traces of poison on it. In my opinion, this spoon must have been soaked in poison for several days."

It’s a pity that the soaking time was not enough, otherwise the royal heir would definitely be killed!

"Where did this spoon come from?"

The emperor glanced at the palace maids in the room with cold eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is the spoon that came with the snacks from Concubine Xiang's kitchen."

Nanny Li was furious. She had taken all kinds of precautions, but the spoon had leaked out!

"Wang Zhonglu, take someone to check the small kitchen and bring Xiangpin here."

You can harm my woman, but you can’t harm my child.

When Xiangpin was brought here, she seemed to have realized that she was finished.

"Your Majesty, you are here. It has been a long time since you came to my Acacia Palace."

The look in her eyes when she looked at the emperor was full of admiration, attachment, and longing.

The emperor did not care about old ties, "Did you make this snack in your kitchen?"

Concubine Xiang was daydreaming, was Concubine Yi's child born?

"Yes, a few days ago, Her Majesty the Consort specifically told me to take good care of Noble Lady Yi. I dared not neglect her, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some snacks and send them over."

Virtuous Concubine?

The emperor was a suspicious person by nature, and in his heart, he guessed that this was the order of the virtuous concubine!

This Xiangpin was originally a docile person, where did she get the courage to harm others?

My virtuous concubine, you are the one with the highest rank in the harem.

"Xiangpin, do you know that this snack almost killed Concubine Yi and her unborn child?"

The teacup fell on Xiangpin's knees and broke into pieces, but she was not afraid.

Almost? Was she so lucky? She was poisoned and had a miscarriage, the last one to sleep with her in the palace, yet the first to get pregnant.

God is unfair!

What a pity, the child is still there, and Xiangpin wants to protect herself now.

"Your Majesty, I don't know, but this happened in Acacia Palace, so it's my fault. I was ordered by the Concubine Xian to take care of Noble Lady Yi."

"I am willing to move out of Acacia Palace to prove my innocence!"

The tears in Xiangpin's eyes were about to fall, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the red beans from that year?

Red beans grow in the south, and in spring they sprout a few branches."

Xiangpin kept thinking to herself that she had been the emperor's favorite concubine for a period of time, and at least she knew the emperor's temper.

The emperor looked at Concubine Xiang who was sitting below him. She was dressed in blue and looked very gentle and polite.

That year, Xiangpin was a rejected concubine who entered the palace to serve as a female official. She was punished by her superiors and was seen by him by chance.

That day, she was punished to pick red beans under the scorching sun, and she had to pick out the red beans from a pot of mung beans and black beans.

These are not the red beans for eating, but the red beans of lovesickness in poems.
