Chapter 323: The fox's tail can no longer be hidden, Shen Chuwei is shocked

At the same time, Ningyu Palace

"ah!!"

“It hurts so much!!”

The woman's heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the Ningyu Palace.

"My lady, try harder!"

The palace maids were busy running around, carrying basin after basin of hot water, and the atmosphere was very tense.

The emperor strode into Ningyu Palace. He heard Concubine Ning's heart-wrenching screams and paced back and forth worriedly.

"What on earth is going on?"

Sui He stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, the Queen was just chatting with the Empress, but after the Empress left, the Queen began to have abdominal pain. Doctor Yu said it was a miscarriage."

The emperor frowned and asked coldly, "Why did you get pregnant when everything was fine?"

"I heard from Doctor Yu that the queen had a miscarriage because she inhaled too much musk." Suihe said.

When the emperor heard the word musk, his eyes turned cold: "Why would Concubine Ning use musk? You servants, how come you don't even know that women can't use musk? How do you take care of your master?"

Sui He knelt on the ground with a thud and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I have carefully taken care of Concubine Ning's daily necessities and food, and have never used musk. Doctor Yu also checked and found no musk in the room. It may be..."

The emperor asked, "What could it be?"

Sui He said: "Doctor Yu said that it might be because someone else was carrying something with musk, and Your Majesty had been with them for a long time, so she inhaled the musk. But just now, only the Empress came..."

The emperor interrupted Suihe coldly, "You mean, the Empress wore something containing musk?"

Sui He kowtowed quickly, "I dare not, it was Doctor Yu's guess, I don't know either."

Doctor Yu came out in a panic, knelt on the ground with a thump, and said, "Your Majesty."

The emperor asked coldly, "How is the prince?"

"Your Majesty, the prince died of childbirth difficulties." Doctor Yu said this and knelt on the ground, unable to get up.

The emperor's eyes were dark, and for a moment he couldn't accept that his full-term son was gone.

He glanced coldly at Doctor Yu lying on the ground, "How is this possible? I saw him this morning and he was fine, how come he is gone now?"

"Your Majesty, musk is very harmful to women, especially pregnant women. It can easily cause miscarriage." Doctor Yu said tremblingly.

The emperor was stunned when he heard this.

After everything was tidied up, the emperor stepped in.

Even after cleaning up and lighting incense, you can still smell the blood.

Concubine Ning had just given birth and was lying on the bed exhausted, her messy hair wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead.

The emperor walked over and looked down at Concubine Ning. She was beautiful, and even after giving birth, she still had a morbid beauty.

He soothed her gently, "You don't have a child, but you will have one in the future."

When Concubine Ning saw the emperor, she burst into tears again, "Your Majesty, the prince I waited so long for is gone just like this... I don't want to live anymore."

Concubine Ning was pretty and charming, and she had just given birth, so her voice was so hoarse that it made people feel distressed.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are still so young. Take care of yourself. There will be more in the future."

*

Concubine Ning was the most favored concubine, and this pregnancy received much attention. The emperor was also looking forward to the arrival of the little prince.

If he couldn't protect it, the emperor probably wouldn't be able to accept it.

The Queen asked in a sharp voice: "She was fine when I went to her palace just now, how come she suddenly had a difficult birth?"

"I don't know either. News has just been sent from Ningyu Palace that Concubine Ning is having difficulty giving birth and the prince is in danger." Eunuch Ren said cautiously.

The queen frowned, "Has Doctor Yu gone?"

"Doctor Yu is just checking Ping'an's pulse and trying to find a way to save him," said Eunuch Ren.

The queen looked at Shen Chuwei with a serious expression, "This is about the heir to the throne. I will go to Ningyu Palace to take a look."

After the queen finished speaking, she ordered: "Drive to Ningyu Palace."

Shen Chuwei stepped forward and called to the Queen, "Her Majesty, wait a minute."

The queen paused and turned to look at Shen Chuwei, "Dear Shen Liangdi, is there anything else?"

Shen Chuwei pointed at the sachet and said, "Empress, please change the sachet."

The queen asked in confusion: "Why do you want to change the sachet?"

"Because of the musk, Concubine Ning had a miscarriage that led to a difficult delivery. It was related to this." Shen Chuwei also learned about this from the conversation between the Queen and Eunuch Ren.

After all, the empress had been in the palace for decades. After hearing what Shen Chuwei said, everything connected.

No wonder Concubine Ning called her over to chat early this morning, saying that she had nightmares and was scared or something, and that she should have experience since she gave birth to two sons.

It turned out that they deliberately wanted to frame her for murdering the royal heir so that the emperor would punish her.

Conspiring to murder the royal heir is a serious crime. I didn't expect that Concubine Ning, who is so fragile, has such great ambitions.

The queen took down the sachet and was about to throw it away.

Shen Chuwei stopped her, "Your Majesty, give it to me."

The Queen looked at Shen Chuwei in confusion, "What do you want this for? Musk is not good for women and will affect future pregnancy."

"I know." Shen Chuwei turned around and walked to the cabinet, took out a mask and disposable gloves, walked over again, picked up the sachet in the queen's hand, poured out the scented powder inside, and then took out some sleep-aid scented powder and put it in.

The Queen stood aside and looked at Shen Chuwei's actions in confusion.

Shen Chuwei handed the filled sachet to the queen and said, "The musk inside is gone. I refilled it with some sleeping powder."

The queen raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Chuwei, then tied the sachet back on her waist belt.

Shen Chuwei took out a sachet she made herself, opened it, took out powder and ink from it, and sprinkled it on the empress.

The Queen looked at Shen Chuwei's actions in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Shen Chuwei explained while applying makeup: "The Queen has a strong musky scent on her body, and Doctor Yu can smell it at once."

"So that's how it is." The Queen couldn't help but look at Shen Chuwei a few more times. She didn't expect that she had such a considerate side.

*

When the queen stepped into Ningyu Palace, she heard a woman crying softly, and even she, a woman, was moved by it.

When I walked into the inner room, I saw the emperor sitting at the head of the bed, holding Concubine Ning's delicate body, and his big hands gently stroking her back as if soothing her.

"Your Majesty, I hurried here when I learned that Concubine Ning had given birth." The Queen glanced around the room, but didn't see the child, so she couldn't make a conclusion.

The emperor raised his head and looked at the queen, "Queen, you are here."

The Queen glanced at Concubine Ning and saw that her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she looked listless, perhaps because she was too heartbroken.

"Is Concubine Ning okay?"

The emperor said sadly: "The prince was not saved."

The Queen consoled him, "Don't be sad, Your Majesty. Concubine Ning is still young, and there will be more in the future."

"Your Majesty, what you said is very nice." Concubine Ning just burst into tears. "Before the Queen came, I was fine. After the Queen came and sat for a while, I became pregnant. Is it a coincidence?"

The Queen looked at Concubine Ning, crying pitifully, and now her true colors were revealed.
