The side halls and the main hall of each palace are not far apart.
Chu Yuan deliberately changed slowly, giving Xin Jieyu more time. She had already learned Xin Jieyu's thoughts through the "mind-reading talisman".
Chu Yuan later read the instructions for this mind-reading talisman, which stated that its effects would last for three months. Therefore, Chu Yuan knew what Xin Jieyu was thinking during this time.
After a month of being ignored, Xin Jieyu was getting anxious.
When people are anxious, they are prone to impulsive actions and committing crimes.
Chu Yuan thought she was quite kind; wasn't this an opportunity being handed to her?
"Knock knock," the door was knocked on.
Chu Yuan tidied her hair, and her flawless face gave people a pure and innocent feeling.
Upon opening the door, she was surprised to see Consort Xin. "Sister, shouldn't you be in the main hall with the Emperor? What brings you here?"
"Everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes, so I just stopped by to see if my sister has changed her clothes." Xin Jieyu said, already stepping into the hall.
Behind her was only Zicao, a palace maid; all the other palace servants around her had disappeared.
Chu Yuan pretended not to notice and stood still, letting Xin Jieyu approach her step by step.
Xin Jieyu's gaze was deep and dark, like a snake; she was smiling, yet her smile sent chills down one's spine.
Zicao was most afraid of Xinjieyu at this moment. Instinctively, the hairs on her whole body stood on end. She raised her eyes slightly, but found that Yingjieyu not far away had no reaction at all, with a gentle and lively smile on her face.
While Zicao was still in a daze, Xinjieyu suddenly leaned back and fell to the ground.
Reaching out to Chu Yuan in disbelief, she said, "Sister Yuan... why... why did you push me... you knew I was pregnant..."
Chu Yuan, "..."
That's really simple and straightforward!
Zicao reacted and shouted for help, while at the same time, red blood gushed out from between Xinjieyu's legs like a spring, flowing in a winding stream.
This was all arranged in advance. Before long, seven or eight palace servants emerged from the corners, some screaming and others running away in a panic. The scene seemed chaotic and disorderly, but in fact, everyone had their own purpose.
Naturally, Emperor Xian of Wei was also drawn to the scene by the panicked palace servants.
At this moment, Consort Xin was still lying half-lying in a pool of blood. The imperial physician had not arrived, and no one dared to touch her.
Upon seeing Emperor Wei Xian appear, Consort Xin cried even more pitifully, her heart-wrenching sobs as if her own flesh had been ripped out. "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it's all my fault for being incompetent... It's my fault for failing to protect the child with Your Majesty..."
Her hands, stained with blood, were braced on the ground and stretched out towards Emperor Wei Xian. The shocking expanse of red was particularly jarring to the eye.
In contrast, Chu Yuan stood quietly to the side, watching all of this in astonishment.
Emperor Xian of Wei froze, not even having time to ask anything, and roared, "Where is the imperial physician? Why hasn't he arrived yet!"
"Your Majesty, we have already sent someone to urge them on!" Zi Cao said, wiping away her tears.
Emperor Xian of Wei frowned, his brows furrowing into a deep frown. The scene before him seemed familiar to him.
Back then, Consort Fang was six months pregnant. Logically, she shouldn't have miscarried, but she couldn't manage it in front of everyone. The child was eventually delivered by induced labor, and it turned out to be a prince. He was puzzled and suffered for a long time.
I initially thought it was some fool in the harem who did it, but after a thorough investigation, there was no mastermind behind it.
Or rather, there is no strong evidence.
The intrigues and power struggles in the imperial harem have always been fierce. Almost every concubine probably doesn't want to have a child with anyone other than herself, but without evidence, he can't arrest everyone.
In the end, the matter was left unresolved.
The imperial physician said that the child was born with a congenital deficiency, and even if the medication sustained him for six months, it would still be too late to save him. Moreover, even if such a child were born, he would certainly not be healthy and live a long life.
That's practically saying he has a fundamental problem!
Over the years, Emperor Xian of Wei has refused to admit that the problem lies with him, which is why he avoids seeing Consort Fang, thinking that this way he can never face the cruel answer.
Even if they find something out and kill a few people to vent their anger, it's better than admitting they're no good!
"Go and urge them again! If I don't see them within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, then they don't need to come anymore. Go home, wash their necks clean, and wait to die!"
After sternly saying this, Emperor Wei Xian stepped forward, disregarding the dirt, and picked up Consort Xin in his arms.
Xin Jieyu cried uncontrollably in his arms, repeatedly saying "I'm sorry".
"I will carry you to the bed in the inner room." Emperor Wei Xian glanced at the blood on the ground. So much blood. His heart was heavy with sorrow. He was afraid that the child was probably dead.
Before lifting his foot, he took a deep look at Chu Yuan.
Anyone who isn't blind can roughly guess what happened inside the hall.
Besides, before he came in, Xin Jieyu kept asking why, why did you push me, Sister Yuan...
Emperor Xian of Wei was in a state of great distress. He felt that Consort Ying would not do such a thing, but the scene he had just witnessed was undeniably real.
Surely it couldn't be that Hsin Chieh-yu deliberately miscarried to frame her, could it?
Chu Yuan met Emperor Wei Xian's gaze and immediately saw through his thoughts. Miraculously, she didn't get angry, after all, she and this man hadn't known each other for very long.
Being compatible in bed doesn't mean you're in love.
She didn't rush to explain, because she knew that someone would come to clear things up for her soon.
Sure enough, the imperial physician rushed over, but it was not the physician Hu whom Consort Xin was used to.
When Zicao saw that it wasn't Physician Hu, she was so frightened that she almost flew out of her skin. "How can it not be Physician Hu? My master's pregnancy has always been taken care of by Physician Hu..."
"What has happened again? Since the imperial physician has arrived, why not let him go in quickly?" Eunuch Li urged.
