Chapter 38 Wen Xiaoyi
"Concubine Yi! What's going on?" the Queen asked angrily.
She was already feeling unwell, and was naturally in a bad mood when she was woken up in the middle of the night.
Concubine Yi was so frightened that she knelt down immediately: "Your Majesty, I dare not murder the heir to the throne!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I think this is just a misunderstanding. Concubine Yi loves An Baolin very much, so why would she just sit there and wait for something to happen?" Concubine Feng stood up and said.
"It's hard to say..." Concubine Jin said with a lack of confidence.
"On the fourth day of the lunar new year, check to see how the abortion drug got into the tonic." Qi Yixiu said calmly: "Concubine Yi, get up."
Concubine Yi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, someone must have used me to harm An Baolin. I definitely don't have such intentions."
It was at this time that An Baolin woke up.
All she could hear was the servants calling her from the inner room.
After a while, she came out with a pale face and knelt down: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this matter was definitely not done by Concubine Yi. I only ask Your Majesty to have a clear understanding. I... I feel guilty towards Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to give the child a clear name... "
An Baolin has always been quiet and not very argumentative.
She is not stunningly beautiful, but has a quiet charm.
Qi Yixiu didn't dote on her, but he didn't hate her either.
She is pregnant, which is naturally a good thing.
Now that she has lost her child, she begs him with a pale face to clear her child's name, which is really pitiful.
Qi Yixiu helped An Baolin stand up and said, "You need to take good care of yourself now. Queen, An Baolin has made contributions in helping the emperor to lose his heir. I think you should give him the position of Xiaoyi. What do you think, Queen?"
"That's right. An Baolin has always been sensible. I think it would be best to give her a title. The word 'Wen' suits her best." said the Queen.
"Okay, then I'll follow the Queen's orders." Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "That's Wen Xiaoyi. Go in and take good care of yourself. I'll take care of what happens next."
Wen Xiaoyi thanked the emperor and the empress, then went in wiping her tears.
"The Queen is pregnant. This matter is left to you, Concubine Feng Shufei. Give me an answer within three days. If we can't find out, it will be your fault." Qi Yixiu snorted and stood up: "Queen, I will go back to Fengzao Palace with you."
The queen smiled, stood up and left with the emperor.
Everyone respectfully saw the Emperor and Empress off, and Concubine Feng looked really ugly.
She was in charge of official business, and things kept going wrong, which really pissed her off.
But how can there be peace in the harem?
This shows that she is incompetent! "Investigate it carefully for me!" Concubine Feng gritted her teeth.
"Let's go." Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "I'll take my leave first. Come visit Wen Xiaoyi another day."
Concubine Feng nodded casually.
After leaving Wen Xiaoyi's residence, Yao Baolin sighed: "This child is gone, but it's not easy to still have a position as Xiaoyi."
"Who do you think is using Concubine Yi to do this?" Yao Baolin was a little jealous: "The emperor really trusts Concubine Yi, so he believed it."
"Who knows who the people behind this are targeting?" Shen Chuliu thought for a while: "Concubine Yi is Concubine Feng's person, what if they did it in the first place? What if Concubine Yi has a child..."
Yao Baolin was stunned: "Chu Liu, you are right."
If Concubine Yi had a child, would she still have to follow Concubine Feng? Therefore, Concubine Feng was a suspect.
However, this is too obvious.
The person behind the scenes might not be Concubine Feng, but this is tantamount to putting Concubine Feng on the fire.
In Fenghua Pavilion, after everyone had left, Xingzhi entered the inner room and asked, "Xiaoyi, how are you?"
"Not bad." Wen Xiaoyi lay on the big pillow: "A child in exchange for Xiaoyi's position, do you think I lost or gained?"
"Xiaoyi, you can't say that. You are Xiaoyi now. Sooner or later you will be a talented person, a beauty, or a concubine. You will move up step by step." Xingzhi pulled the quilt for her: "Your family background is not as good as others. If you don't rely on yourself for everything, who can you rely on? I'm sorry for you."
"I don't feel wronged." Wen Xiaoyi touched her empty belly: "It's just... I can't bear to let go."
"Xiaoyi, now that things have come to this, you don't have to think too much. You are just reluctant now. What will happen if you see your child calling someone else his mother in the future? Besides, you have to see it. Haven't you seen enough cruelty in the palace?"
It is not uncommon for a child to be left behind and his mother to be abandoned.
"Yeah, you're right. I'm tired. Let me take a nap." Wen Xiaoyi said.
Xingzhi helped her lie down: "You should sleep well. You have to be careful during the confinement period, otherwise you may get sick easily."
When Concubine Yi returned to Changle Palace, she smashed porcelain all over the floor.
"Empress, Empress! What's wrong with you? The emperor doesn't suspect you." Huashan and Anxiang hurriedly advised.
"Your Majesty does not doubt me, but who did this? Feng Suxin! Do you think I'm a fool?" Concubine Yi's chest heaved with anger.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that this matter... was the work of Concubine Feng?" Huashan was stunned.
"Who else? Who else in the palace is afraid of another prince being born? Especially now that I am a concubine and have no children, this child will most likely be brought to me when he is born. If I have a child, can I still work hard for her?"
Concubine Yi gnashed her teeth in anger: "That's a good trick."
"But if it really is Concubine Feng, isn't this method too obvious?" Huashan said.
"She didn't want to do anything to me. She was just scolding me!" Concubine Yi said angrily, "She treated me like an ordinary maid! She still thinks that she is the one who has the final say in the mansion?"
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. If it was her, you must retaliate against her. Let her run rampant." Anxiang advised.
"Of course. Even if I have no children, I am still better than her. If there wasn't a Second Prince, wouldn't the Emperor only look at her once all year round?" Concubine Yi sneered.
Concubine Yi gradually calmed down her anger: "Just wait and see, I will never suffer this loss."
Others didn't know that Wen Xiaoyi's miscarriage had inadvertently destroyed an alliance that was already fragile.
However, within the palace, the alliances are obvious, but sabotage is not too obvious.
At least when paying respects, Concubine Yi was still with Concubine Feng.
So no one can see it.
Wen Xiaoyi had a miscarriage, so naturally she couldn't come, and Wei Yunu, who had a miscarriage the day before, also didn't come. The queen simply issued an imperial decree, telling her not to come out until she gave birth.
If she can't protect this one, the queen will be too ashamed to face anyone.
Simply put Wei Yunv under strict control, and Concubine Feng and others were not allowed to interfere.
In this regard, Concubine Feng could only endure it.
As the weather got colder, supplies were delivered to various places.
With the Lantern Festival this year, Cuiyunxuan has less to worry about. These things are easier for eunuchs to handle.
After going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs several times, many people envied Yuanxiao's good fortune.
After all, there are many eunuchs in this palace who have been worked to death.
They suffer from hunger and cold every day, and now that winter is approaching, they are bound to suffer even more.
No one cares when you are sick.
Things are different now that I have a master.
