Chapter 48 Miscarriage
Then he turned around and looked at Guan Quan and Miao Dong and said, "These... these two people actually... actually did such a thing... How bold.
Your Majesty must punish severely those who defile the palace and rectify the palace rules."
When saying these two sentences, Li Yueyao clearly saw that the imperial concubine's face was no longer as pure and charming as before.
A fierce look flashed across his face.
Li Yueyao thought to herself that as a top-notch green tea girl, the imperial concubine's expression management needs to be improved.
The emperor felt a headache after hearing this. He rubbed his head and said, "Xianfei, you can continue the trial."
The virtuous concubine nodded and said, "As you wish."
The imperial concubine felt bad after hearing this. If this matter was handled by the virtuous concubine, she would definitely not let her go.
So she quickly said, "Your Majesty, this palace maid and the guard are having an affair. What does this have to do with me? Why..."
Before the Imperial Concubine finished her words, she heard the virtuous concubine say, "Imperial Concubine, the maid behind you is from Fanghua Garden. You don't know her, do you?"
The imperial concubine pretended to turn around and glanced at him, then said in surprise, "Yes, you look familiar. Are you from Fanghua Garden?"
Miao Dong heard the imperial concubine's question and said, "To answer your Majesty, I am Miao Dong, a third-class cleaning maid in Fanghua Garden."
"A third-class cleaning maid? I told you you looked familiar." The imperial concubine nodded after hearing that.
Then he turned to Concubine Xian and said, "Even if this maidservant belongs to my Fanghua Garden, since she has violated the palace rules, you should deal with her as you see fit."
Xian Fei laughed when she heard this, looked at Miao Dong and said, "Miao Dong, do you have anything to say?"
"I, your servant, admire Guard Guan so much that I wrote him a letter. This plaque is a gift from you."
Miaodong explained slowly.
"Oh, really? If so, how could the handwriting on the letter be the imperial concubine's?"
Miaodong lowered her head and continued, "This servant imitated the imperial concubine's handwriting."
"Since you are writing a letter to your lover yourself, why do you imitate the imperial concubine's handwriting?" asked the virtuous concubine.
"I... I deliberately framed the Imperial Concubine. Because the Imperial Concubine had punished me, I wanted to take revenge on her."
After hearing this, Concubine Xian said, "Come here, bring some writing brush and ink. Please ask Miaodong to copy this letter so that I can see the handwriting."
"Yes." Sun Fu responded.
When the imperial concubine heard this, she was worried that her secret would be exposed and became anxious.
Suddenly, I heard Miaodong say behind me: "Things have come to this. I know that this is a serious crime and I dare not live in humiliation..."
When Concubine Xian looked up at Miaodong, Miaodong was already spitting blood and fell limply to the ground.
Qian Lou hurried forward to investigate.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, the poison was hidden in his teeth and he committed suicide."
The emperor couldn't stand the word "poison" anymore. He flew into a rage and swept the teacup away from him.
"How many poisons are hidden in this palace? The poison in the teeth of any palace maid would kill instantly."
Then he looked at the imperial concubine grimly and said, "Imperial concubine, do you admit your guilt?"
The imperial concubine was startled by the sound of the teacup falling to the ground. When she heard the emperor's question, she began to sob and cry.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have not been feeling well recently and have not been able to control the palace maids well. Your Majesty, please do not be angry."
When the emperor saw the imperial concubine crying, his heart softened immediately.
Li Yueyao: Wow, he’s actually a crying monster!
The virtuous concubine glanced at the emperor and was surprised. Is this how these two people get along?
The emperor actually fell for this. What a blind man.
The queen saw this and said: You are acting like you are mourning again, and you don’t think it’s unlucky.
Seeing this, Concubine Shu said: It seems that the imperial concubine’s stay in Wanhua Tower for more than a year was not in vain.
Concubine De: Why can’t I act like a weak and graceful person?
After hearing this, the virtuous concubine continued, "It just so happens that the noble concubine mentioned that you have been feeling unwell recently. I want to know why the noble concubine has been feeling unwell recently."
When the imperial concubine heard this question, she lowered her head and a look of anger flashed across her face.
I heard Concubine Xian mention it last time, and she seemed to know something. Now she brought up the old matter again.
But it doesn’t matter, the imperial physician in charge of the treatment has already made arrangements.
So she said, "Your concubine, my menstruation is irregular, and the imperial physician told me to stay in bed and rest."
Upon hearing this, the virtuous concubine smiled and said, "Oh, in that case, please trouble your aunt to help you find out what is wrong with the noble concubine."
When Li Yueyao heard what Concubine Xian said, she knew there was something fishy going on, so she stood up and walked to the side of Concubine Gui.
The imperial concubine smiled at Li Yueyao in a panic and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Princess. I'm almost recovered from my illness."
Li Yueyao said with a half-smile: "Alas, Noble Concubine, what you said is wrong. Your Majesty is worried about your illness every day. You can't eat or sleep well.
I will help you take a look, so that His Majesty can rest assured."
After saying this, he grabbed the imperial concubine's wrist and began to take her pulse, regardless of her resistance.
The imperial concubine struggled, trying to break free from Li Yueyao's restraint.
Qian Lou walked over and pressed down the imperial concubine's entire arm.
The imperial concubine said in a timid tone, "How dare you! Let me go!"
Qian Lou was like a wooden man, not even looking at the imperial concubine.
Li Yueyao laughed while feeling the pulse, then let go of her hand and returned to her seat under everyone's gaze.
"Which incompetent imperial physician treated the imperial concubine's illness?
It was clearly a miscarriage, how can it be treated as a normal menstrual irregularity?"
The queen was startled and asked, "Miscarriage?"
Li Yueyao picked up the tea beside her and took a sip, saying, "Hmm."
After he finished speaking, he said to Sun Fu, "Go and get the book from the Jingshifang."
The emperor heard this and waved his hand, saying, "No need."
Then he looked at the imperial concubine with a tired expression and cold eyes:
"So this letter, the sign of the oath of eternal love, and the child all belong to the leader of Wanhua Tower?"
When the imperial concubine heard that the emperor knew everything, she panicked and said, "Your Majesty, I, your concubine, do not know what you are talking about."
"You really don't know?" the emperor said angrily.
"I've been to your place quite often in the past couple of months, but I'm weak and just resting. I've never..."
When the imperial concubine heard the emperor's words, she said in panic, "Your Majesty, you must not believe the words of the Grand Princess Jinyang."
The emperor coughed twice and said, "Auntie wouldn't lie about something like this, you..."
Xian Fei then interrupted, "Your Majesty, I was afraid that the Imperial Concubine would say that my aunt's medical skills were not good enough, so I specially invited the Imperial Hospital Director to wait outside."
Then he shouted to the outside: "Someone come and ask for Director Zhao."
Old man Zhao was brought here early in the morning and waited at the door for a long time. When he heard someone calling him, he walked in trembling.
As soon as I entered the door, I felt the extremely low air pressure in the hall and was so scared that I didn't dare to raise my head.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Zhao Yuanzheng saluted respectfully.
"No need to be so polite. Go and take the imperial concubine's pulse." The emperor's voice came from above.
"Yes."
Zhao Yuanzheng went forward to take the imperial concubine's pulse, but the imperial concubine struggled and refused to let Zhao Yuanzheng touch her.
Qian Lou stepped forward again to restrain the imperial concubine.
After a while, Zhao Yuanzheng stood up and said to the emperor, "The imperial concubine's pulse indicates a miscarriage."
After hearing this, the emperor was relieved.
Then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Dean. Please step back."
Zhao Yuanzheng bowed and retreated.
When the queen saw this result, she was overjoyed. The imperial concubine was completely finished this time.
Concubine De also felt the same way, feeling that she had lost a strong competitor.
Shufei looked at Guifei and thought, this spy is too bold. The loopholes in his actions are so obvious, how could the emperor be deceived for so many years?
The virtuous concubine looked at the noble concubine and said, "Noble concubine, do you have anything else to say?"
The imperial concubine struggled, knelt on the ground, took a few steps forward, and tugged at the emperor's clothes, saying:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was unaware of this. Someone is trying to harm me. Please believe me... Your Majesty."
"Who wants to harm you?" asked the emperor.
