"If Your Majesty remembers correctly, when Consort Lin miscarried, the imperial physician said she was already more than four months along."
"She's been pregnant for over four months and her pregnancy is already showing. How could she not know she's pregnant? Besides, her rank is only that of a concubine. It's already good enough that the Imperial Household Department isn't withholding her rations. Where would she get so much ice to use? This reason is far too farcical."
"Lin Chang was definitely harmed during this pregnancy, but we don't know who did it."
Bao Chun also felt sorry for Consort Lin's miscarriage, thinking about how difficult it was for Jia Yue to protect her pregnancy.
"What did the Emperor and Empress say?"
"Her Majesty the Empress sent people back to the palace with many rewards to appease him. The Emperor has not said anything yet, but I heard from the Imperial Kitchen that the Emperor had a poor appetite and did not eat much on the day he received the news."
"It seems the Emperor is angry that Consort Lin concealed her pregnancy."
Yinzhen is a man who values results. If Consort Lin can keep the pregnancy, even if she concealed it, Yinzhen will think that she did it for the sake of the child, and that it is understandable.
He didn't mind if the concubines in the harem had their own tricks, but he was rather wary of someone like Consort Lin who thought herself clever.
The methods used did not achieve the desired results.
Bao Chun nodded: "If Consort Lin hadn't hidden it, and the Emperor hadn't had many children, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to promote her to the rank of Noble Lady once he learned she was pregnant. Now, I wonder if the Emperor would pity her for losing her child and promote her to a higher rank."
Jia Yue didn't say anything, but she had some thoughts in her mind.
Based on her understanding of Yinzhen, she probably had no chance of getting a higher rank.
However, we can't be too certain, as there's still the virtuous Empress! Perhaps the Empress will plead for a Noble Lady rank for Consort Lin.
"Put away all brightly colored things recently! The Emperor might not like Consort Lin, but the child is still the Emperor's. The Emperor will never be in a good mood after losing his child. Give the order to tell the palace servants to stop laughing and playing around recently."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
