“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. When he heard Concubine Ning's heart-wrenching cries, he 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 Queen. After the Queen left, the Queen began to have abdominal pain. The imperial physician said that she had a miscarriage."

The emperor frowned and asked in a cold voice: "Why is the fetus upset?"

"I heard from the imperial physician 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 plop and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I have carefully taken care of Concubine Ning's daily necessities and food, and have never used musk. The imperial physician also checked and found no musk in the room. It could be..."

The emperor asked, "What could it be?"

Sui He said: "The imperial physician 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 Sui He coldly, "You mean, the queen wore something containing musk?"

Sui He kowtowed quickly, "I dare not, it was the imperial physician's guess, I don't know either."

The imperial physician came out in a panic and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty."

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

"Your Majesty, the prince died of childbirth complications." After the imperial physician said this, he knelt on the ground and could not 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 the imperial physician 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." The imperial physician said tremblingly.

The emperor was stunned when he heard this.

After everything was cleaned 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 was 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 looked morbidly beautiful.

He comforted her gently, "If you don't have a child, you will have one in the future."

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

Concubine Ning was pretty and bright, and she had just given birth, so her voice was very hoarse, which made people feel distressed.

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

* Concubine Ning is the most favored concubine, and this pregnancy has attracted much attention. The emperor is 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 sternly, "She was fine when I went to her palace just now. How could she suddenly have a difficult labor?"

"I don't know either. News has just come 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 the imperial physician gone?"

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, "Go to Ningyu Palace."

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

The queen paused and looked back at Shen Chuwei, "Dear Shen Liangdi, is there anything else?"

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

The queen asked in confusion: "Why do you want to replace 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 Queen had been in the palace for decades. After hearing what Shen Chuwei said, all the things could be connected.

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

It turned out that she was deliberately framed for murdering the royal heir so that the emperor would punish her.

Murdering the royal heir is a serious crime. I didn't expect that Concubine Ning, who is so delicate, has such great ambitions.

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

Shen Chuwei stopped her, "Empress, 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 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 powder inside, and then took out some sleep-aid 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, "The musk inside is gone, so I refilled it with some sleeping powder."

The queen raised her eyes to glance at Shen Chuwei, and tied the sachet back to her waist.

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

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

Shen Chuwei explained as she applied powder and ink: "The queen has a strong musky scent, and the imperial physician can smell it at once."

"I see." The queen couldn't help but look at Shen Chuwei a few more times. She didn't expect that she had such a thoughtful side.

* When the queen stepped into Ningyu Palace, she heard the soft crying of a woman, which moved even a woman like her.

When I walked into the inner room, I saw the emperor sitting at the head of the bed, hugging Concubine Ning's delicate body, and stroking her back soothingly with his big hands.

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

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 sad.

"Is Concubine Ning okay?"

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

The queen comforted him, "Don't be sad, Your Majesty. Concubine Ning is still young, and there will be a future."

"Your Highness, what you said sounded 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 this a coincidence?"

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