Chapter 228 They are all very disappointed!
Soon, the Queen came over with her concubines.
After the ceremony, Fang Danying asked first, "Your Majesty, what happened to Concubine Xi?"
She showed concern, but as someone who had previously punished Yun Qin, her expression was hard to believe. It even sounded like she was gloating over the misfortune of hoping that something bad would happen to Yun Qin.
Huo Jinchi was now an active volcano covered in ice. His sharp eyes immediately fell on her and he asked coldly, "Why do you really want something to happen to her?"
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I said this because I really care about Concubine Xi." She pursed her lips with an aggrieved look, but she couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart.
She was not a fool. She had lost so much face, but she still couldn't see how much the emperor loved Concubine Xi.
She suddenly understood why the Queen wanted to be on good terms with Yun Qin. She just hoped that the Emperor would love her as well.
Of course she knows how to use this trick!
But when she used it today, she didn't get any favor from the emperor. Wasn't her performance sincere enough?
The eldest prince also came over with Concubine De. He walked hesitantly to Huo Jinchi's side and asked in a low voice, "Has Concubine Xi really been in trouble?"
De Fei couldn't stand her son caring about Xi Fei, and immediately scolded him, "Come here, don't bother your father."
The eldest prince's pupils were distinctly black and white, filled with pure worry, more sincere than anyone else in this palace.
Hearing his mother's scolding, he subconsciously shrank his shoulders and wanted to retreat, but Huo Jinchi suddenly reached out and rubbed his head, "Empress Xi is fine."
As he said this, he glanced at the people in the hall, but he did not see any degree of disappointment on their faces.
They are all very disappointed!
The eldest prince nodded, grabbed his purse, and said seriously: "The medicine is bitter. Concubine Xi likes my dried loquats. I will leave them for Concubine Xi to eat."
He just liked Concubine Xi, who always smiled whenever she spoke to him. Although the naming ceremony for sister Zhaoning was very lively, he felt a little sad.
He didn't memorize the poem well, his mother didn't like to take care of him, and he couldn't say anything to others. Only she gave him a little golden pig.
In fact, he didn't like the golden gourd that much, but the little golden pig was very good, he liked it very much, but it was a pity that it was taken away by his mother...
Huo Jinchi rubbed his head again, his eyes fell on his wallet, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He remembered that Yun Qin ate dried loquats before leaving the table. How much did she eat?
"Your Majesty, what happened to Concubine Xi?" The Queen couldn't help but ask again.
Huo Jinchi then told the story, while his eyes slowly scanned everyone present.
When Defei heard that Yunqin had taken blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine, she couldn't help but feel excited and excited. Sure enough, someone had taken action!
But then I heard that after the collapse, I felt a little dazed again.
Why is it a collapse, not a small production?
Is Concubine Xi not pregnant?
How is this possible? Why did Doctor Zhang Yu keep it a secret? And she has been feeling sick today. Could it be that she is really suffering from carriage sickness?
Defei was confused for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. Apart from a moment of daze, there was no sign of anything strange on her face.
It was not a good thing for her that Concubine Xi was not pregnant. Besides, it was not her who did it. Compared to her, the person behind the scenes would only be more upset.
Moreover, it happened to be Xipin's menstrual period, which caused her to have a hemorrhage. Even if she was rescued, she must have been seriously injured, and she would probably not be able to get pregnant again in the near future.
But I saw that the emperor was becoming more and more sympathetic to her.
The only regret is that Doctor Zhang Yu has almost become Xipin's exclusive doctor. If someone else were to take her place, they might not be able to save Xipin.
"Who on earth would use such vicious means to harm Concubine Xi?" He Cainv said in horror.
Xu Danying continued, "Today's palace banquet was organized by the Empress. The Empress is a very meticulous person and there will definitely be no mistakes."
"What does Xu Danying mean by this?" Fang Danying immediately retorted, "It is true that the Queen Mother organized the banquet, but who knows if anyone with ulterior motives took advantage of it?"
Although she and the Queen had some grudges, on paper they were both members of the Fang family, so she naturally had to speak up to defend her.
Nie, who had been cold and silent, agreed and said, "Many ingredients have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Who knows if Xipin may have eaten something by mistake."
He actually spoke for the Queen.
The Queen also knew that she was the one who would be most affected by this matter. She was about to ask Huo Jinchi to investigate, when she saw Xu An coming back with Doctor Zhang Yu.
Xu An stepped forward and bowed, then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have brought Dr. Zhang Yu to examine the food, and there is no problem with the food on your table or Concubine Xi's table."
After hearing this, the queen realized that the emperor had already sent people to investigate without her having to say anything.
She didn't know what to feel for a moment.
But in the end, the problem was not with her. She frowned and asked, "So what's going on?"
"But, Doctor Zhang Yu found something unusual..." Xu An glanced at the eldest prince beside him.
Huo Jinchi seemed to have a premonition in his mind, and then he watched Doctor Zhang Yu take a step forward and spread out his hands to reveal something wrapped in a handkerchief.
It was a piece of dried loquat, which fell on the table when Yun Qin left the table.
Not only the concubines present, but also the eldest prince could see clearly, "It's dried loquat."
He didn't realize anything yet and let out a cry of surprise.
But Defei's heart suddenly sank, and she had a bad premonition.
"What's unusual?" Huo Jinchi asked without looking at Concubine De.
Doctor Zhang Yu's forehead was covered with cold sweat again. The more he knew about these royal secrets, the more danger he would be in.
His voice was also a little harsh: "Your Majesty, I have found medicinal powder from this loquat trunk. It is a medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and it is very effective."
After hearing this, Defei's body almost went limp, and she had to hold on to Furong's hand to stand steadily.
She never imagined that the person behind the scenes was not only targeting Concubine Xi, but also her!
If Xipin is really pregnant and has a miscarriage now, then isn't she...
Concubine De felt a chill all over her body and stared intently at the other people in the hall.
Who is it, who wants to frame her!
Huo Jinchi then glanced at her and said to the eldest prince, "Zi Yan, show your dried loquat to Doctor Yu."
The eldest prince didn't quite understand, but he couldn't disobey his father's order, so he nodded and handed the purse to Doctor Zhang Yu.
"Your Majesty, this, this must be some misunderstanding!" Defei hurriedly said.
Huo Jinchi glanced at her and said to Doctor Zhang Yu, "Just check it out."
So Doctor Zhang Yu poured out the dried loquats in the purse, put them to his nose one by one to smell them, and finally divided the dried loquats in the purse into two parts.
"Your Majesty, part of the loquat trunk is smeared with powder, and part is not."
The golden dried loquats are all covered with a layer of white icing, making it impossible to tell them apart.
De Fei no longer had any sense of luck at this point, and immediately fell to her knees, "Your Majesty, this matter is definitely someone trying to frame me! The eldest prince is my own flesh and blood, how could I put drugs in his food!"
