Chapter 259 The Concubine
"Guards, Madam Yan has plotted against Madam Xue. Drag her away and lock her in the woodshed for further judgment."
It's true that the Crown Princess wanted to drag Gu Shuyan down with her, but she never intended to let Li Yingxue and Chunxiang go. These two vile women have now bewitched His Highness the Crown Prince, and she has long wanted to get rid of them.
As soon as the Crown Princess finished speaking, Chunxiang's face immediately turned flustered. "I didn't! Crown Princess, you're framing me!"
Chunxiang's tone was somewhat flustered, clearly showing she had a guilty conscience. Seeing this, her maidservant immediately knelt down.
"Your Highness, the reason why Madam Xue had abdominal pain was actually caused by Madam Yan. She was afraid that Madam Xue would give birth to the little prince, so she deliberately put a drug that would cause a miscarriage in Madam Xue's food."
The maid's sudden reprimand caused Chunxiang's legs to buckle and she collapsed to the ground.
"You vile woman, how dare you harm my son!"
Upon hearing the maid's words, the Crown Prince, who had just received the news and rushed over, kicked Chunxiang.
Chunxiang was, after all, just a weak woman. When she was kicked, she immediately clutched her stomach in pain.
"Your Highness, I did not. This is all the Crown Princess's scheme to frame me."
In the past, the Crown Prince would have felt pity for Chunxiang when he saw her like this, but now he only felt extremely disgusted.
"You lowly concubine, you've already identified your own maid, yet you still dare to drag me into this."
Seeing that the Crown Prince had no intention of protecting Chunxiang, the Crown Princess immediately reprimanded him.
She knew that the Crown Prince would never choose a woman over his child, even if that woman was the one he loved just a moment ago. Once this happened, he would never pay any attention to her again.
"I did not, I never intended to harm Madam Xue."
Faced with the Crown Prince's heartless demeanor, Chunxiang, despite her attempts to defend herself, was ultimately powerless.
"Lock Madam Yan in the woodshed and await further instructions."
After the Crown Prince finished speaking, he turned and went into the room. Li Yingxue was in excruciating pain on the bed, her temples covered in sweat, which made the Crown Prince feel heartbroken.
"Xue'er, how are you?"
As the Crown Prince spoke, he gripped Li Yingxue's hand tightly, his tender expression making it clear to everyone that he was the same person from before.
"Your Highness, you've finally arrived! You've finally arrived!"
Upon seeing the Crown Prince, Li Yingxue felt as if she had grasped a lifeline, and even the pain lessened somewhat.
"Okay, okay, don't cry!"
As the Crown Prince spoke, he wiped away the tears that had just fallen from Li Yingxue's eyes and looked at the imperial physician who had finished taking her pulse.
"How are you? Are Madam Xue and the baby in her belly doing?"
Upon hearing this, the imperial physician glanced at the crown prince with some difficulty and cautiously inquired, "Your Highness, may this old minister ask Lady Xue's maid two questions first?"
Seeing the old imperial physician speaking in riddles, the crown prince was about to get angry again, but fortunately Li Yingxue tugged at him slightly, and the crown prince nodded with a dark face.
"May I ask what the Crown Princess ate this morning?"
The person being questioned by the imperial physician was naturally Fei'er, who was by Li Yingxue's side. Fei'er's eyes darted around, and she quickly recounted everything Li Yingxue had eaten that day.
After hearing this, the imperial physician's grave expression eased considerably.
"That's right. Pregnant women shouldn't eat soft-shelled turtles, but Madam Xue had soft-shelled turtle soup in her breakfast and almonds in her lunch, which caused her abdominal pain. Fortunately, Madam Xue didn't eat much of either, so it didn't cause a miscarriage."
