Not long after Bai Yuzhi used the prop and fell asleep, the group of imperial doctors rushed to the Zichen Hall. However, the prop was taking effect at that time, and no matter who used what method, it was impossible to wake Bai Yuzhi from the dream.
The helpless look of the imperial doctors once again angered Emperor Qin Huan, which led to what Bai Yuzhi heard now.
Emperor Qin Huan held the imperial sword in his hand, which he had unsheathed at the Qianqiu Banquet. His face was filled with murderous intent, and even the empress dowager could not stop him. Seeing that these imperial doctors were about to die under the sword, Bai Yuzhi seized the opportunity.
"No... don't come over here! Don't touch my belly... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save me!"
Bai Yuzhi pretended to have a nightmare, and the Queen Mother immediately shouted to Emperor Qin Huan to come over. Emperor Qin Huan threw away his sword and looked at Bai Yuzhi lying on the bed. She was pretending to be in a nightmare, and she had no props to help her. She looked no different from the rest of the time except that her face was a little paler.
But it is this state that makes it even more bizarre.
Although he didn't react at all, he was trapped in a nightmare and couldn't wake up.
Doctor Xu had experienced several twists and turns and had already mastered the skill of being able to adapt to changing circumstances. Thinking that if they could not resolve Bai Yuzhi's current situation, he would surely die, although he was not sure, he still chose to divert the blame.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Doctor Xu knelt down beside the dragon bed and kowtowed several times, blood gushing from his forehead. "I am incompetent and cannot see any illness in Your Majesty, but the signs of this nightmare are indeed very obvious. I wonder if she has recently encountered something?"
Even if those in power did not fully believe in the stories about gods and ghosts, they were still somewhat wary of them. What's more, the empress dowager herself was a devout believer in gods and Buddhas. When the mother and son heard what Doctor Xu said, they immediately thought of this possibility.
Bai Yuzhi's cries grew louder and louder. Emperor Qin Huan didn't have time to think too much. He wrapped her up in the quilt and held her in his arms to comfort her: "I am here, my beloved, don't be afraid. No one can hurt you or the child."
Knowing when to stop, Bai Yuzhi shouted a few more times. Her purpose of making the mother and son think about things related to gods and ghosts had been achieved. Naturally, she had to strike while the iron was hot and start guiding them. So after Qin Huandi held her and comforted her for a while, she pretended to wake up from a dream due to excessive fright.
The first thing Bai Yuzhi did when she "woke up" was to look at Qin Huandi who was holding her, and hugged his neck with a look of horror, crying.
"Your Majesty, I dreamed..."
She was already incredibly beautiful, and now with her sick face she looked even more fragile and vulnerable, easily arousing Emperor Qin Huan's desire to protect her, not to mention that she was pregnant.
Emperor Qin Huan felt distressed almost instantly and could only coax her in a low voice: "Tell me what you dreamed about."
"I dreamed that I was standing alone in a dark place. No matter how I called out to you, it was no use. Suddenly, a red light appeared in the southwest direction. I followed the light, but who could have expected that a female ghost would suddenly jump out at the end of the light!"
As soon as the word "female ghost" came out, Emperor Qin Huan and the Queen Mother were completely convinced that there must be someone behind Bai Yuzhi's situation.
"The ghost's face was blurry, but her body was covered in blood," Bai Yuzhi said, trembling. "She pounced on me, viciously scratching my face and stomach..."
Bai Yuzhi seemed to be terrified, even protecting her belly when she said this: "That female ghost actually said that she would never allow Your Majesty and I to have a child..."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother was horrified, and everyone in the hall knelt down in fear, fearing that Emperor Qin Huan would not be able to bear it and go crazy again, dragging them out and chopping them to death to appease his anger.
Even Wang Chonghai knelt down.
Emperor Qin Huan's eyes were bloodshot, and they were a sign of his extreme anger. It was obvious that he was really mad at the words of not letting the child be born, but he still remembered to comfort Bai Yuzhi. Emperor Qin Huan could only give orders to Wang Chonghai.
"Wang Chonghai, go and search all the palaces in the southwest for me. If there are any ghosts, capture everyone in the palace, dead or alive."
The Queen Mother nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right. Your Majesty is such a blessed person. This dream must be a hint from the Buddha. Someone in the southwest must be causing trouble!"
Bai Yuzhi gradually stopped sobbing and just snuggled in Qin Huandi's arms, letting his big hands stroke the bulge of her belly from time to time. The baby in her belly seemed to have noticed something was wrong and began to move its little hands and feet and kick to show its presence.
I really have to thank this little thing. If I hadn't been pregnant with him, the tracing spell would not have been useful.
This time, the queen is doomed. If she is overthrown, only the original heroine, Concubine Rong, will interfere with her mission, which will make the task much easier.
To the southwest of the Purple Palace are the Chuxiu Palace, the Yanxi Palace, the Yongshou Palace, the Guanju Palace, the Yiku Palace and the Lichun Palace.
The Yiku Palace is Bai Yuzhi's own territory. No concubines live in the Chuxiu Palace. Excluding these two places, there are only Rong Fei's Guanju Palace, Wei Zhaoyi's Yongshou Palace, Meng Jieyu's Yanxi Palace, and the Lichun Palace with a very low presence.
Wang Chonghai led the imperial guards to surround the palaces one by one, and rushed in to search without saying a word, leaving no chance for anyone to hide evidence.
The first place to be searched was Rong Fei's Guanju Palace.
Whether in the minds of Emperor Qin Huan or the Empress Dowager, Concubine Rong was the most likely person to have done this. After all, Concubine Rong had a prominent family background and was very capable, and she had some conflicts with Bai Yuzhi, and could even be said to have a grudge against him. Therefore, Wang Chonghai personally went to search Guanju Palace at the instruction of Emperor Qin Huan.
