The Queen beside him immediately stepped forward to support him, "Mother, don't worry, Xuan'er, God will be on your side and everything will be fine."
"Queen, why are you here?" The Queen Mother frowned as if she had just seen the Queen, very unhappy. "You'd better leave. When have you ever cared about Xuan'er? Besides, Concubine Tong is here, she doesn't like you. Why does the Queen have to come to visit with such sincerity and make herself unhappy?"
"..." The Queen looked extremely uncomfortable. "How could your Majesty Queen speak of me like this? How can you be so hypocritical?"
The Queen Mother had no intention of paying attention to the Queen at this time, and glanced at Li, the Manager beside her.
Leaving the queen behind, he went straight to the room where Bei Mingxuan was.
"Your Majesty," said Li, blocking the Queen's way. "I'd better escort you out of Prince Zhexuan's mansion."
“…” The queen was furious and was about to explode.
Manager Li spoke slowly, "It's not a big deal that the Empress is angry at me. But if the Empress Dowager and the Emperor knew about it, it would be bad.
Besides, the Queen Mother is thinking about the Empress, so why are you so upset and asking for trouble? You should think more about your position as Empress and the good of the Fourth Prince.
Mentioning her son Bei Mingye, the Queen's arrogance immediately subsided. "Master Li, you are right to remind me. The Queen Mother is right. In this case, I will wait in Prince Xuan's mansion. I will wait for the Queen Mother outside the mansion, and then we will return to the palace together. I will also know Xuan'er's situation. Otherwise, I will always be worried."
"That is the Queen's own business." Manager Li made a gesture of invitation, signaling the Queen and her entourage to go outside the mansion.
After seeing off the queen, Manager Li quickly went into the house.
Four imperial physicians surrounded Bei Mingxuan's bed and took his pulse one by one.
Then the four of them looked at each other, discussed among themselves for a long time, and one of them reported to the Queen Mother.
"Replying to the Queen Mother, Master Tong, the poison Prince Xuan was poisoned with wasn't contagious overnight. Although it won't kill him immediately, it's still not easy for him to bear."
The four imperial doctors knelt in front of the empress dowager, lowered their heads after they finished speaking, and dared not even to breathe.
They knew very well that the Queen Mother's most precious grandson was Bei Mingxuan. Although this ninth prince was not favored by the Emperor, they knew very well that the Queen Mother was the one who made the decision at this time and it had nothing to do with the Emperor.
After a while, the Queen Mother stared at the doctors lying on the ground. "Explain to me clearly, what do you mean by not overnight? When did my grandson get poisoned?"
"That..." The imperial doctors were having trouble speaking. "That, at least ten years or more."
"She was poisoned during the abortion." Concubine Tong, who had been silent until now, spoke coldly at this moment.
The Queen Mother was surprised, "In the womb!"
Four imperial physicians, "!!!"
"Yes." Concubine Tong's face was calm, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips. "Four imperial doctors, go back and tell the emperor what you have found out."
The four doctors looked at each other and said, "Yes, Master Tong."
At this time, Eunuch De, who was standing aside, glanced at Chang'an, which was so quiet that it seemed as if it did not exist.
Especially after seeing Chang'an's exhausted face, he frowned and said, "Four imperial physicians, please stay. It's better for one of you to stay and examine Princess Xuan. Otherwise, if the emperor asks you when you return to the palace, it will be difficult to answer."
Following Eunuch De's words, everyone turned their eyes to Chang'an.
Her face turned pale and her lips turned purple.
"Chang'an." The Queen Mother frowned, "Are you feeling unwell? Please call the imperial physician."
"Thank you, Madam Empress, for your concern. Chang'an just feels a little cold, nothing else." Chang'an had a smile on his face, "Don't worry, Madam Empress."
But what was surprising was that neither the Queen Mother nor Concubine Tong had spoken yet, but Fu Xueer, who was serving on the side, spoke.
"Princess, how could you do this?" Fu Xue'er's eyes were filled with tears. "I have been serving the prince every day since he was a little tired, and I have never seen him in such pain. Now that he is unconscious, you can see the beads of sweat on his forehead. As his concubine, you can still smile. I feel so sorry for him."
Chang'an looked coldly at Fu Xueer who was crying out of grievance, and she sneered in her heart.
Bai Lu, who was serving Chang'an, was full of surprise.
She looked at the people in the room. If she spoke, she was worried that she would cause unnecessary trouble for Chang'an. She was angry in her heart, but she never said a word.
However, Dongxue, standing by, didn't care about who was who and directly confronted him, "How can you be so vicious? You're always trying to discredit my young lady. Everyone knows you harbor inappropriate thoughts towards your own master. My young lady just married into the palace, and you've embarrassed her in public so many times. Do you really think my young lady is easy to bully? Or do you think you can do whatever you want just because you're the prince's personal maid?"
"I didn't." Fu Xue'er was furious. She had never been treated like this before. Now, a little slave girl was actually talking back to her in front of so many people? What right did she have?
Fu Xueer became angrier the more she thought about it. She raised her hand and slapped Dongxue in the face. The crisp sound of the slap startled everyone in the room.
Only then did I realize that the one who hit me was a servant.
And this servant is very brave.
Dongxue didn't even think twice and slapped her back, "Fu Xueer, you bitch..."
"That's enough!" the Queen Mother scolded, frowning. "Drag me out and give each of you forty lashes."
"Yes." Someone immediately brought Fu Xueer and Dongxue over, and soon the voices of two people were heard.
The Queen Mother frowned and looked angry.
Manager Li, who was standing by, glanced at the Queen Mother and said, "Shut up the two of them, or they won't spare Prince Xuan."
Outside, the crying and shouting immediately stopped.
The Queen Mother's face looked better now. She looked at the imperial physician, "Doctor Li, how is Chang'an?"
"Don't worry, Queen Dowager. Princess Hyun must be tired from taking care of Prince Hyun all the way. Plus, you caught a cold, so you feel cold and weak. I'll prescribe some medicine, and you'll be fine after taking it."
"Yes." The Queen Mother looked at Chang'an and said, "Chang'an, go and rest first. Someone will be waiting for you here."
"Chang'an wants to wait for the prince to wake up." Chang'an said, and the faint smile on his face turned into a deep sadness. "Grandma, Mother, how can Chang'an smile now that the prince is unconscious? Chang'an is worried about the prince from the bottom of his heart. I hope Grandma and Mother will not... do not blame Chang'an."
"No. Mother may be blind, but her heart is not."
Concubine Tong knew a lot of things, so she could face everything that happened more thoroughly. Even though Bei Mingxuan was unconscious at this time, she would not panic.
