But she still nodded with a smile on her face.
"Thank you for your concern, my lady. How could I blame you? Everything is fine. I am eating well and sleeping well."
"That's good. How about Qiaoqiao? How's everything been lately? Xi'er must be with you every day, right?"
She knew very well that Leng Xi and Yu Qiaoqiao had an uneasy relationship, yet she insisted on asking this question, obviously intending to mock Yu Ren.
Before Qiaoqiao could speak, Concubine Li swung her handkerchief and replied contemptuously:
"Of course. Although Xi'er is very busy every day, she always makes time to spend time with Qiaoqiao. Their love story is so popular that people all follow their example."
Listening to Concubine Li's unfounded words, Yu Qiaoqiao said to Luo Lan with some embarrassment:
"Sister, let's go see the lotus flowers! They are so beautiful."
Luo Lan just didn't like arguing with these two women, so she nodded in agreement.
The two walked towards the lake, one in front and one behind. Acai and Ahong followed closely behind Luo Lan, fearing that she might make any mistakes.
A group of people came to the lake. Yu Qiaoqiao pointed at the lotus flowers in the lake with some excitement and said to Luo Lan beside her:
"Sister, look, the lotus flowers are so beautiful. I really want to pick one and keep it in my house."
Looking at the beautiful lotus flowers, Luo Lan smiled with clear eyes and said:
"If you pick them, they can only live for two days. If you keep them in the lake, they can live a long time, so it's better not to pick them and not deprive them of their fresh lives."
Yu Qiaoqiao chuckled and nodded, "I know, I was just thinking about it, sister, let's go over there and take a look."
After saying that, Yu Qiaoqiao walked forward with brisk steps. The maid Xiaoju kept reminding her, "Slow down, slow down."
Luo Lan's belly was really heavy, so she held her waist with her hands and walked very slowly. Ah Cai and Ah Hong also followed her closely.
When Qiaoqiao was happily touching a lotus growing by the lake, she suddenly slipped and fell to the ground. Xiaoju screamed in fright and everyone looked at her.
When Luo Lan came to her side, he saw Yu Qiaoqiao holding her stomach with her hands, moaning with an ugly expression on her face.
Upon hearing the news, Concubine Li ran over in panic and shouted, "Quick, call the imperial physician."
At the same time, she slapped Xiaoju in the face and yelled angrily,
"You useless thing! If anything happens to the princess, you'll pay with your life."
Xiaoju was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, shaking her head.
"I don't know what happened. Everything was fine, but suddenly the princess slipped and fell."
Yu Qiaoqiao was afraid that Concubine Li would blame Xiaoju, so she waved her hands and said, "Don't blame her. It was me...I accidentally slipped. It has nothing to do with her."
But when she said this, someone suddenly exclaimed,
"Princess Xi is bleeding."
Hearing this cry, Luo Lan looked over and saw that Yu Qiaoqiao's clothes were indeed stained with blood. Concubine Li was so scared that her face turned pale and she screamed.
"Where's the imperial physician? Why hasn't he come yet?"
Luo Lan squatted in front of her with her big belly, and said in a calm voice:
"Qiaoqiao, don't worry, just lie down and rest for a while."
Then, she said to Concubine Li:
"Quick, get someone to bring a blanket to cover her, and then a cloth to drape over her. Don't let her move yet. I need to examine her."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Qiaoqiao suddenly fainted, and everyone was even more panicked and at a loss. Leng Xi and Leng Yu noticed the abnormality here and ran over quickly.
When Leng Xi saw Yu Qiaoqiao lying on the ground, he immediately shouted angrily.
"What's going on? Where's the doctor?"
Luo Lan glared at him and shouted angrily:
"What were you doing so far? Get out of the way, I need to check on her."
At this moment, a group of palace maids came running over with blankets and aprons. Luo Lan signaled everyone to leave and used the apron to surround the two of them.
Seeing that there was no one around, she waved her arms and the operating room suddenly appeared in front of her. She quickly moved Yu Qiaoqiao into the operating room and quickly performed a color ultrasound examination on her.
A color ultrasound examination showed that Yu Qiaoqiao had just fallen and the fetus in her belly showed symptoms of threatened miscarriage. At the moment, protecting the fetus was the most important thing.
Knowing that there was no serious problem with the fetus in her belly, Luo Lan felt relieved. She stuffed a pill to preserve the pregnancy into her mouth and took her back out of the operating room. At this time, the emperor also hurried over after receiving the news.
When she opened the apron, Concubine Li was the first to come forward anxiously.
"How about it?"
Luo Lan blinked his cold star-like eyes and said cautiously:
"The baby is showing signs of miscarriage, so she needs to stay in bed and rest. There can't be any more mishaps, otherwise, it's very likely she will die."
Her words made Concubine Li breathe a sigh of relief. She shouted sternly to the people behind her, "Come here, take Princess Xi to rest. Be careful."
As soon as she finished speaking, several maids came up, helped her and left.
The emperor suddenly became furious and said:
"What happened? Why did she slip suddenly? Where is the girl next to her?"
Xiaoju, who had already burst into tears, was so frightened by the emperor's words that she kowtowed and admitted her fault, "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I didn't take good care of Princess Xi. Please punish me."
"You piece of trash! Take him out and give him twenty lashes of the cane."
Twenty big boards?
With Xiaoju's physique, it would be strange if she wasn't beaten to death.
Seeing this, Luo Lan hurriedly raised the few green beans he had just picked up from the grass and replied:
"Father, this isn't an accident, but someone did it on purpose."
Looking at the mung beans in her hand, the emperor's expression changed slightly and he shouted sternly:
