Therefore, the first thing Jiugongting did was to ask the Empress Dowager.
"Mother, may you go in and see Yue Bao? I am a man, and Yue Bao does not agree to let me in, but if Mother goes in, it is certainly possible."
The Empress Dowager had no intention of going in, but seeing the Emperor staring at her expectantly, she worried that if she didn't go in, he might overthink things, so she finally decided to go in.
"Alright, Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. This is how childbirth is. Your mother will go in and take a look now."
Upon hearing that the Empress Dowager had agreed to let him in, Jiu Gongting was extremely excited. He couldn't help but reach out and grab the Empress Dowager's hand, speaking to her.
"Mother, please remember to make sure Yue Bao is safe and sound! I don't care about the child, I only want Yue Bao."
The Empress Dowager did not reply to what Jiugongting had said, but instead lifted her skirt and walked inside.
When she arrived inside, the Empress Dowager was surprised to see a midwife inside, doing something strange.
The Empress Dowager's first reaction was that this midwife was very abnormal.
So she went over immediately and pulled the person away.
"What are you doing? What are these things?"
The midwife was so startled by the Empress Dowager's sudden pull that she was completely taken aback and hadn't even had time to react.
She had clearly already checked; everyone was busy delivering babies and didn't have time to look at her, so why was she still discovered?
The midwife instinctively hid the things behind her back, but since the Empress Dowager had already come to her, she certainly wouldn't give her a chance to hide them.
The Empress Dowager suddenly pulled the midwife hard, easily bringing her over. Then, with swift movements, she took what the midwife was holding from her hands.
The Empress Dowager had been exposed to many medicinal herbs before, so as soon as she took this out and smelled it, she knew what it was.
This stuff is actually safflower powder. If Jiang Jingyue, who is currently in production, smells it, something bad will definitely happen.
The Empress Dowager immediately gestured to the maidservant beside her, who instantly understood her meaning.
She rushed to the midwife as fast as she could and pinned her down.
Then I immediately went outside, mainly because the Empress was still giving birth inside and I couldn't deal with people here. I didn't want to delay the Empress.
Meanwhile, those in the Nine Palaces outside were startled to see the Empress Dowager emerge so quickly. They hadn't even had time to react when the Empress Dowager appeared.
However, he soon realized that something was wrong, mainly because when the Empress Dowager came out, she was accompanied by a midwife.
As soon as it came out, the midwife knelt down, trembling.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy! Your Majesty, please have mercy! This servant truly did not do it on purpose!"
The Empress Dowager had no intention of listening to what she had to say and instead roared at her.
"Who exactly made you do this? Who is the mastermind behind it all?"
The midwife would never reveal who was behind it; otherwise, she certainly wouldn't have lived much longer.
"No... Your Majesty, you must have misunderstood. No one instructed me to do this. This was something I wanted to do myself."
"This servant hates Her Majesty the Empress. If it weren't for her, the person I love wouldn't have treated me that way. Therefore, this servant doesn't want the Empress to have an easy time."
Upon hearing this, Jiugongting was still somewhat puzzled, so he could only look in the direction of the Empress Dowager.
Seeing his puzzled look, the Empress Dowager explained the whole story to him. Upon hearing this, Jiugongting was furious and kicked the person in front of him hard.
He showed no mercy; you could tell how angry he was from his actions.
The woman he had always cherished and pampered was almost harmed, and this time, her unborn child was also involved.
It would be strange if the Nine Palaces weren't angry.
The midwife was kicked by him and fell heavily a short distance away.
Perhaps because Jiugongting was quite strong, the midwife was just about to get up when she couldn't control herself and vomited a large amount of blood.
"Speak, who exactly ordered you to do this? If you don't tell me, I won't have made this decision to take action."
The midwife was about to continue enduring the pain when she suddenly saw Sude running over from not far away.
For some reason, after seeing Su De, she had a very bad feeling.
Sure enough, as soon as Su De opened her mouth, the midwife knew that she must have guessed correctly.
"Your Majesty, I have investigated thoroughly. All of this person's family members who are related to her have been arrested. Not a single one of them will escape."
When the midwife heard this sentence, she became very excited.
At this time, Su De also gave the things he had brought to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, these things were taken from them. I heard there was another person, the midwife's son, and I've already had him beaten up."
The midwife agreed to this request entirely so that her son could have a better life.
They were supposed to find her a daughter-in-law someday, but now, that dream of hers is ruined.
I should have known better than to agree to this one thing from Consort De no matter what.
Now that she heard that her son had been arrested by the emperor's men, the midwife finally became anxious.
She only has one son, so she works herself to the bone for him. No matter what, she can't let anything happen to her son.
The midwife probably didn't know that by doing such a thing, whether she admitted it or not, her son was doomed, and the emperor would certainly not let him off the hook.
The midwife had no other choice but to try to negotiate with the emperor to see if he might agree to her terms.
The midwife hesitated for a while, then suddenly spoke to the Nine Palaces.
"Your Majesty, I can tell you who the mastermind is, but please have mercy on me! My son knows nothing about this, so could Your Majesty spare him from any punishment?"
"As long as the Emperor agrees, I will do whatever he desires."
Although the midwife said that, Jiugongting had no intention of agreeing to his request.
Anyone who dares to hurt him shouldn't expect to get away unscathed; he won't let anyone get away with it.
