Geng Youran had seen this scene countless times before. It wasn't that she thought badly of Yun Hui, but rather that she had seen this kind of drama far too often.
The imperial physician, trembling, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
According to the maid, there was a lot of blood gushing from under Yun Gege's body, but judging from her pulse, the signs were faint, so he had to give a vague account.
Unexpectedly, this Geng Gege was so cautious, insisting on a clear answer.
"Gege Geng, what do you mean by that? Does our princess intend to frame someone by faking a miscarriage?"
"How dare you be so insolent in front of us two princes! Since you can't speak properly, then I'll teach you a lesson. Guards, drag this maid out and slap her twenty times!"
The maid had no idea that the young prince would be so bold as to slap a servant so casually in the palace.
It's all her fault for saying the wrong thing and offending the wrong person.
If it were Hongshi or Hongli, they would never have done this. But this is Hongzhou, who always protects his mother. Moreover, he wouldn't let a servant get away with such arrogance.
Wanru and Hongli wanted to plead for her, but seeing that Geng Youran's expression hadn't changed at all, and that she was even casually playing with her bracelet, they didn't say anything.
Before Yun Gege could even speak, the maid who had spoken up for her was dragged away by the eunuchs who were with Hongzhou.
The eunuchs who accompanied the princes were all carefully selected and trained, and they understood their masters' thoughts best.
So they dragged the person out, without reducing their strength, and truly disfigured him.
Yunhui was in excruciating pain at this moment. She tried to open her mouth, but all she had left was the strength to cry out in pain.
"Imperial Physician, tell me, what exactly is wrong with Princess Yun?"
"Replying to the two princesses, Princess Yun has indeed suffered a miscarriage."
The two were stunned for a moment, but quickly calmed down.
"How long has it been?"
"Reporting to Princess, it has been more than half a month."
Geng Youran and Wanru stood up, preparing to go to Li Jingshu to find out what was going on. Just before leaving, Geng Youran said something:
"I'll trouble the imperial physician to stay here for a few more hours. I'm sure His Highness will ask more questions when he returns."
"yes."
The imperial physician dared not say he was unwilling and continued to brew medicine in Yunhui's courtyard.
After the maid received twenty slaps, she was unable to speak.
Geng Youran walked up to her, looked at her,
"The master of the Prince's mansion is the Prince. If you can't remember that, next time, it might not be as simple as just getting a slap."
Afterwards, Geng Youran and Wanru led Hongzhou and Hongli to Li Jingshu's place.
"Your humble servant (Hongli, Hongzhou) greets Consort Hong. May Consort Hong be blessed."
“My two sisters have come at the right time. What exactly happened today? Hongshi came back in a panic and didn’t say a word. When I asked him, he couldn’t explain it either.”
"Princess Yun has miscarried; it's said that Prince Hongshi was the cause."
"impossible!"
Li Jingshu stood up abruptly. Her son never interfered in the affairs of the Prince's mansion, and besides, he had always worked for the Prince. He had only met this Princess Yun less than three times. How could he have caused her to miscarry?
"My two sisters, please tell me the details of what happened back then."
Wanru then recounted the events of that time:
“Consort, Wanru and I rushed over after hearing screams in the back garden, but by then Princess Yun had already collapsed. So we don’t know the real situation.”
Geng Youran's lips curled up, her eyes turning cold:
"That Princess Yun is quite cunning; she even managed to trick us into it."
After hearing Wanru's explanation, Li Jingshu calmed down.
"There are only a few servants here. I can just question them one by one. I want to see what this Princess Yun is up to."
After that, Consort Li questioned all the servants present.
At the same time, news of Yun Gege's miscarriage quickly reached Yinzhen and his wife.
Yinzhen listened without saying a word, his expression unusually calm:
"Gao Wuyong, what did the Fujin say?"
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort said she would entrust this matter to Consort Nian."
Yinzhen snorted:
"She certainly knows how to choose people."
Geng Youran and Wanru comforted Li Jingshu for a while before leaving, and Hongli and Hongzhou also volunteered to stay and accompany Hongshi.
"That's fine. You all stay here and keep the Third Prince company while he studies. Don't cause any trouble for Consort Li, understand?"
“My son knows.”
Afterwards, Geng Youran took Wanru back to his own courtyard.
"Sister, what do you think Princess Yun is trying to do? If she wants to use Hongshi to cause trouble for Consort Li, it's too obvious."
Geng Youran nodded in agreement:
“This Princess Yun is different from the Song family and the Yuan family. I think there must be more things behind her that haven’t been revealed yet.”
Sure enough, when Yinzhen visited Yunhui that evening, Yunhui did not mention that the matter was related to Hongshi, and the maid with the swollen face beside her was gone, replaced by a girl named 'Luyin'.
“Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with Prince Hongshi. It was because I was playing that I insisted on going to the back garden, which caused me to fall and miscarry. It is my fault for being useless and failing to protect our child.”
After saying that, Yunhui covered her face and burst into tears.
Yinzhen summoned the imperial physician, asked a few questions about Yun Gege's condition, and then had the physician sent back.
"During this time, you must listen to the imperial physician and take good care of your health. Don't push yourself too hard. Who knows, we might have children in the future."
Yunhui nestled in Yinzhen's arms and nodded sadly.
On the other side, Nian Yunrong personally led a group of people to Li Jingshu's courtyard.
“Sister, please invite Prince Hongshi out. I am only acting on the instructions of the Fujin (Prince Consort), and I'm sure you would like to know the details.”
“I already know the details. But since you insist on getting the answer from Hongshi, then go ahead and ask.”
Then someone called Hongshi out, while Hongli and Hongzhou hid behind and listened.
"Hongshi greets Consort, wishing her good fortune."
“Your Highness, there’s no need for such formalities. I’ve come today to inquire about Princess Yun’s miscarriage in the back garden. Please tell me frankly.”
"Just ask, Consort."
The two talked about the details at length, and Nian Yunrong could roughly determine that this matter was indeed orchestrated by Yunhui herself and had nothing to do with Hongshi.
After Nian Yunrong sorted out the cause and effect of the matter, she immediately sent someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the prince, and then invited Yinzhen to her place.
"Your Highness, aren't you here tonight?"
Yunhui, still pale-faced, pitifully tugged at Yinzhen's sleeve. Yinzhen tucked the blanket around Yunhui.
"You get some rest, I'll come see you again tomorrow."
Yinzhen then left with his men, not seeing Yunhui's resentful expression.
