Just then, there was a noisy sound outside the door, and I knew that someone was being brought back.
The queen was still in shock. Seeing her pale face, Rong Xi felt a little more pity for the unborn child. He exchanged a pill that could stabilize the pregnancy from the system and handed it to her.
"If your Majesty the Queen believes me, please eat it."
The queen didn't trust anyone at this moment. She looked at the pill in Rong Xi's hand in silence for a long time, but finally took it and put it directly into her mouth.
She didn't know what kind of medicine this was, nor did she know what effect it had, or whether it would affect the baby in her womb, but the person in front of her was someone she had personally requested, and if she didn't take it, she was afraid that she would not help her again in the future.
If it weren't for the protection of the Governor's Mansion, she would not have been able to give birth to this child.
The pill melted in my mouth, and the worried abdominal pain did not come, and the original feeling of sinking in my lower abdomen gradually disappeared.
"Thank you, Ninth Sister."
"Should His Majesty be informed of this?"
The queen was very confused and didn't know what to do. She already had doubts in her mind and didn't know what choice the emperor would make after he knew about this.
"I have an idea. Is Your Majesty interested in trying it out?"
The queen was originally undecided and was still thinking about it. Now that Rong Xi had a solution, she was naturally willing to listen.
"Ninth sister, please speak."
"Let's do this..."
The two whispered for a long time, just as long as the people outside waited.
Outside the imperial study, the queen's personal maid came running in hurriedly. Perhaps because the matter was too urgent and it was a hot summer day, she was sweating all over.
Coupled with her anxious expression, the guard at the door probably guessed what was going on.
"Eunuch, quickly report to His Majesty that the Queen has been poisoned."
The imperial study was already quiet, and Caijuan's voice was loud. When the emperor heard it, he strode out without caring about anything else.
Seeing Caijuan like this, his heart was pounding wildly. Could something have happened to the queen?
"Tell me quickly, what happened to the Queen?"
"Your Majesty, our queen has been poisoned and is now unconscious. The imperial physician said, said..."
"You idiot, hurry up and tell me."
This is what Xiao Dezi said. Nowadays, the palace maids around the queen are all popular, but if something really happens to the queen, these people will not be able to escape the blame.
He also didn't want Caijuan to hesitate and delay things, and then be blamed.
"The imperial physician said that our queen's pregnancy is in danger, so I came to beg Your Majesty to save our queen."
The emperor no longer cared about anything else and brought his men to Jingren Palace.
The palace servants here all looked unhappy. The emperor took a look at them and even though he was already walking out of breath, he still stopped.
When he entered the inner room, he saw Rong Xi taking care of her. He didn't bother to ask her why she was there and was anxious to see the queen.
"Where is the imperial physician? How is the queen? Hurry up and tell her."
The imperial physician had been standing by, and when he heard the emperor's question, he quickly stepped forward and told him the truth about the queen's condition.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has shown signs of miscarriage. Preliminary analysis suggests someone has mixed fennel into items used by the Empress."
The emperor clenched his fists tightly. The child was very important to him. Ever since he knew that the queen was pregnant, he had arranged for many people to guard here and gave careful instructions at all times. He never expected that something like this would happen.
When Caijuan, who was beside the queen, heard this, she knelt down on the ground and cried.
"Your Majesty, please help our queen. This isn't the first time. Ever since she became pregnant, various things that could harm the fetus have appeared in the palace every few days. She was afraid Your Majesty would worry, so she told us servants to get rid of them and be extremely careful with our food, clothing, and daily expenses. But even so, the methods used by the poisoner have become increasingly vicious. We, the servants, are foolish. If the Ninth Princess hadn't discovered this today, the child in the queen's belly might..."
Caijuan was crying so hard that her face was already red from running back and forth on the road. Now she looked like this, it was heartbreaking to see her like this.
"I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. Doctor Jiang, I must save the Queen's pregnancy."
"This old minister will do his utmost to protect the queen and the unborn child."
The emperor held the queen's hand, with obvious guilt on his face. Rong Xi saw it all. It seemed that the emperor was not unaware of who was behind this. If that was the case, then it would be easy to deal with.
"Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with the person behind this?"
This was asked by Rong Xi. Their eyes met, and Rong Xi saw a hint of disgust in the emperor's eyes, but it quickly disappeared and was replaced by indifference.
"Thank goodness you noticed something was wrong today. What reward do you want?"
The emperor did not directly answer Rong Xi's question, but avoided the main point and shifted the focus to Rong Xi's reward. The queen felt cold after hearing this. Even though she was like this, even though the baby in her belly was almost lost, even though this was his only child now, he still did this.
"Forget about the reward. After all, the child in the Empress's womb is the only one in the palace. It's the hope of so many ministers and Your Majesty. We must deal with this person as soon as possible. We were lucky to have escaped this time, but what if there's a next time, and the next time after that? If the person behind this isn't dealt with, this matter will continue indefinitely until it reaches the worst possible outcome."
After Rong Xi's reminder, the emperor took it seriously again. This was his first child, and he couldn't imagine what would happen if another accident happened.
"I know, it's getting late. You should go back first, otherwise Lord Shen will come to pick someone up again."
The queen was completely disappointed, as she had even been looking forward to this.
"Since Your Majesty is fully aware of this, I will not elaborate further. Royal heirs are rare, and Your Majesty is not young anymore. If something were to happen in the future... Your Majesty would have to consider this carefully."
What Rong Xi meant was that if the Queen's pregnancy was not saved, even if other concubines became pregnant in the future, the people behind the scenes would still take action.
He is not young anymore. If he can't have children in the future, the kingdom may end up in the hands of someone else.
Rong Xi left, and not long after he left, the emperor also left Jingren Palace and came to a palace.
The door was still closed. He stood outside for a long time, his eyes red, not knowing how to face it.
The same was true for the people inside, one standing outside the door and the other standing inside. No one wanted to knock on the door, and no one wanted to open the door to welcome the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please let me knock on the door."
The emperor remained silent, and Xiao Dezi didn't dare to ask any more questions.
He saw the color of the clothes through the crack in the door and knew that the person he was looking for was standing inside.
He took a few steps forward, almost sticking to the door.
"Yan'er, I know you are in there. I just want to ask you one question: did you do it?"
He was waiting for an answer from the person inside, but after waiting for a long time, the person inside just stood there silently. He couldn't see the person's expression, but he heard soft sobbing sounds from inside.
"Yan'er, I cherish you and don't want to use my power to force you to do things you don't want to do, but Queen, you can't touch me."
