Chapter 149: Uncovering the “Truth”
When Quan Minghe heard Yin Zhi mention Zhao Qizi, some of his past impressions of her emerged in his mind.
I still remember that she once cured Meimei's abdominal pain, and it was because of this that she was promoted.
In his impression, Zhao Qizi has always been a timid person, and even when he met her in Yaohua Palace before, she did not leave a deep impression on him.
How could they do such a thing as bullying and beating the emperor and his concubine!
Quan Minghe pursed his lips and ordered in a cold voice: "Li Ming, go and ask the imperial physician to take a look at Wang Liangren. As for the matter of beating the imperial concubine, you must find out the truth."
Quan Minghe did not completely believe the one-sided words of the palace maid beside Wang Xi. It would not be too late to deal with it after finding out the truth.
After saying this, he didn't stay any longer and left the side hall.
He knew in his heart that as long as everyone in the harem knew that he had come to Changle Palace today, they would not dare to treat Wang Xi harshly.
However, what bothers Quan Minghe is that Zhao Qizi and Mimi are good friends. Does Mimi tacitly approve of what Zhao Qizi did, or is she completely unaware of it?
No matter the reason, it must be that Zhao Qizi has evil intentions.
Quan Minghe had a gloomy face and walked all the way back to Weiyang Palace with a serious expression.
At this time, Zhao Rourou came to Yaohua Palace.
She stepped into the hall, her face full of confusion and her eyes wandering, as if she was thinking about something that was difficult to talk about.
Shen Yuning was half lying on the couch, covered with a thick blanket.
Seeing Zhao Rourou like this, he couldn't help but frowned.
Zhao Rourou bit her lower lip and said, "Sister, I found something, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
"Something related to me?"
Zhao Rourou nodded, "It has something to do with my sister's miscarriage of the royal heir."
Shen Yuning sat up straight on the couch and asked anxiously, "What did you say?!"
Zhao Rourou raised her hand, and Fang Ru came over holding a jar.
She said slowly, "Sister, it was raining yesterday, and the maid from my palace went to the Imperial Hospital to get me some tranquilizers. When I passed by a tree to take shelter from the rain, I unexpectedly saw a medicine jar buried under the roots of the tree. After a closer look, I found that the jar belonged to Imperial Doctor Zhou."
There are many imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau. In order to avoid any mistakes, each physician's medicine jar is engraved with a label to facilitate identification.
Xitong walked forward, took the medicine jar handed over by Fang Ru, lowered her head and looked at it carefully.
Soon, she raised her head and looked at Shen Yuning: "Madam, the bottom of this medicine jar is indeed engraved with the name of Imperial Doctor Zhou, there is no mistake."
Zhao Rourou continued, "I found it strange at the time. Doctor Zhou is only responsible for taking care of my sister, so why would he bury the medicine jar under the tree?"
"I had my doubts, so I asked an unknown female doctor in the Imperial Hospital to help me check the medicine jar. After checking it, the female doctor said that there was safflower juice on the wall of the medicine jar."
"When I heard this, I was shocked. This safflower is a very powerful abortion drug. How could it be in Doctor Zhou's medicine jar?"
Zhao Rourou said this with a look of horror on her face.
Shen Yuning felt her body go limp and she almost collapsed.
Xitong was quick to move forward and support her.
Zhao Rourou looked reluctant, and hesitated to speak. After a pause, she finally said, "And..."
"And what?" Shen Yuning gritted her teeth and asked.
"I am grateful for your care in the harem. I am afraid that you will be harmed by a villain, so I secretly helped you investigate the matter. I was also afraid that I had misunderstood Dr. Zhou, so I did not report it in time."
"Later, I spent a lot of time investigating, and my efforts paid off. I actually found the medicine residue left over from when my sister was pregnant."
When Zhao Rourou said this, Fang Ru wrapped the medicine residue in a handkerchief and handed it to Xitong again.
"Sister, I am certain that the pregnancy-preserving drugs you drank before were actually drugs that could cause abortion. I'm afraid that the imperial physician Zhou has bad intentions. Sister, you must be careful and watch out for him in the future."
Zhao Rourou looked sincere, her eyes full of worry.
Shen Yuning's eyes had become dull and she was stunned for a long while.
Suddenly he sneered and muttered, "Oh, a royal doctor dares to murder me? Didn't Royal Doctor Li look at my medicine?"
"The one who gave me the abortion drug must be the emperor who is so high and mighty."
Her heart seemed to be torn apart by the cruel truth.
Zhao Rourou's eyelashes drooped slightly, as if she had not expected that Concubine Shen would point the finger of murder at His Majesty.
She knelt down quickly and said anxiously, "Sister, please don't say anything careless. His Majesty loves you so much, how could he give you an abortion drug?"
Shen Yuning clenched her fists, her heart filled with hatred. "During my pregnancy, Your Majesty hinted at me to have an abortion more than once."
At this moment, a young eunuch from Weiyang Palace came and Lan Ying entered the hall to report: "Your Majesty, His Majesty summoned Mr. Zhao to go to Weiyang Palace."
When Zhao Rourou heard this, her eyes darkened and she secretly said that something was wrong.
Today, His Majesty went to Changle Palace, and she felt vaguely uneasy, but...
She also has a life-saving talisman. As long as His Majesty cares about Concubine Shen, she will not die!
Zhao Rourou was already kneeling on the ground, and she didn't care about anything else at the moment, and crawled on her knees to Shen Yuning's legs.
She stretched out her hands, tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, and pleaded with horror: "Sister, please save me, did His Majesty find out about my investigation into Doctor Zhou?"
"I really didn't know that it was Your Majesty who murdered my sister's unborn child. I only thought about my sister. Is Your Majesty going to kill me to silence me?"
"Sister, please save me."
She cried as she spoke, and looked extremely pitiful.
Shen Yuning took a deep breath, suppressed her grief and anger, and said through gritted teeth: "I will never let His Majesty kill you!"
But he sneered in his heart.
If she hadn't known in advance what Zhao Rourou had done to Wang Xi, she would have really believed her. What a great acting skill.
He was so weak in front of her, but he could do such a cruel thing to Wang Xi.
But she didn't care about the plots behind the scenes by Wang Liangren, Zhao Qizi, Liu Shihan and others.
No matter how scheming they are, they are just stepping into the trap they have set long ago.
After all, it was just a prelude to her leaving the palace and jumping off the city wall later.
Could it be that Liu Shihan thought that because of the things she had planned, she would be so heartbroken and feel inferior that she would give up Quan Minghe to him, just like Yan Xin, who foolishly locked herself up in Ganquan Palace for two years?
Liu Shihan actually tried to use the same trick a second time. He was too naive.
Yan Xin wants Quan Minghe's love, but she wants power and Quan Minghe's heart.
However, Liu Shihan did have her smart side, which was that she never took action personally from beginning to end.
This time, she exposed Quan Minghe through Zhao Rourou.
As for Zhao Rourou, because of Wang Liangren's matter, she had to do things according to her wishes. One thing led to another, and it seemed that she had put a lot of thought into it.
Liu Shihan is like a fisherman sitting on the Diaoyutai, waiting to reap the benefits.
It’s a pity, why doesn’t Shen Yuning stand higher?
Wait until she becomes the empress, and then she will deal with them one by one.
Zhao Rourou also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Shen Yuning's assurance.
