"Ah!" Concubine Xiang screamed and fell to the ground, hitting her abdomen.

Xiang Guiren only felt a terrible pain in her abdomen. She subconsciously covered her lower abdomen and felt something flowing out.

Everyone saw blood flowing from under Xiang Guiren's sleeves, and they were all terrified.

"Blood, Sister Xiang is bleeding, go find the imperial physician quickly, quickly!" Yu Ronghua shouted worriedly.

Xiang Guiren was also confused: "My stomach hurts so much, it hurts so much, Your Majesty, save me!"

The emperor was also shocked, as he didn't know that Concubine Xiang was pregnant.

Just then the imperial physician arrived and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, old minister!"

"Quickly, let Xuan------" The emperor was about to say, but when he saw Xiang Guiren lying on the ground in great pain, his face turned cold and he said, "Check on Xiang Guiren first."

"Yes." The imperial physician immediately examined Concubine Xiang and his face changed drastically.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiang had a miscarriage. She had been pregnant for just over a month when she suddenly suffered a serious injury and the baby could no longer be saved." The imperial physician replied respectfully.

"My child, my child is gone, gone, no------" Concubine Xiang was so grief-stricken that she fainted.

"Sister Xiang, sister Xiang, imperial physician, please save her quickly." Yu Ronghua prayed.

The imperial physician looked at the emperor, whose face was extremely gloomy: "She was the first to disobey me, and this is the result. Imperial physician, don't worry about her, come and treat Concubine Xuan immediately!"

The doctor was terrified: "Yes."

Yu Ronghua looked at the emperor in disbelief. Although Concubine Xiang was not his favorite, she was pregnant with his majesty's child. Now Concubine Xiang had a miscarriage and was bleeding, but his majesty didn't care.

The other concubines were also shocked. They did not expect His Majesty to be so heartless. Those were his own flesh and blood.

A hint of coldness flashed across the queen's eyes. As expected, His Majesty only cared about Concubine Xuan. Even the children could not compare to Concubine Xuan.

"Someone, send Concubine Xiang back immediately and find an imperial physician to check on her. After all, she is pregnant with your Majesty's child." The Queen said calmly.

"Yes." Two guards came in and carried Concubine Xiang away.

Yu Ronghua immediately followed and said, "Your Majesty, I will go and see Concubine Xiang."

"Go ahead."

The imperial physician examined Concubine Xuan with a serious look on his face.

"How is Concubine Xuan?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xuan was struck by lightning and her body was seriously damaged. This old minister can only prescribe a prescription for conditioning and slowly heal her." The imperial physician replied.

"Nonsense, why hasn't Concubine Xuan woken up yet?" The emperor was furious.

"Your Majesty, that was thunder from heaven, which is not something that mortals like us can control." The imperial physician replied tremblingly.

"Waste, good-for-nothing, get out of here! Why did I keep a bunch of you useless people!" the emperor roared.

The prince was so frightened that he immediately crawled away.

"Your Majesty, if you want Concubine Xuan to wake up, you must find out why she was struck by lightning and fell into a coma. If you can't find the cause, the imperial physician will be useless." The queen said coldly.

The emperor was extremely worried at the moment and had already lost his composure.

"Investigate, investigate thoroughly for me!" the emperor ordered.

"Your Majesty, I brought a witness!" Concubine Ji walked in.

"Who?" asked the emperor.

Jipin had Taoist Qingshan brought up: "Your Majesty, I was in a hurry to find the palace toilet just now, but I accidentally found this man in the firewood room in Concubine Xuan's courtyard. He was holding this wooden man in his hand."

Concubine Ji handed it over immediately. The emperor's personal eunuch took it, took one look at it, and threw it to the ground in fear.

"What's going on?" the emperor asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, this, this is written with your birth date." Eunuch Wu immediately picked it up and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor glanced at the birth date on the wooden man and found it was indeed his own. He immediately became filled with hatred and said, "Someone, wake him up!"

"Yes." A royal guard immediately brought a basin of water and poured it on Taoist Qingshan's face.

Taoist Qingshan still did not respond. The emperor was so angry that he could not wait any longer. He drew out the sword of the imperial guard and stabbed Taoist Qingshan in the thigh.

Everyone was terrified and dared not say anything.

"If one sword doesn't wake him up, I'll use ten swords!" The emperor stabbed Taoist Qingshan's arms and legs frantically.

The bright red blood slowly dyed the ground red, but the emperor did not stop at all.

When it came to the eighth sword, Taoist Qingshan reacted: "Ah, it hurts!" and opened his eyes.

Seeing everything clearly in front of him, Taoist Qingshan was terrified: "Your Majesty?"

The emperor angrily threw the wooden man in his hand over, holding a sword in his other hand, with blood still dripping from the tip of the sword.

"You practiced witchcraft in the palace and even dared to carve my birth date on a wooden figure. Who ordered you to do that? Tell me!"

The thunderous roar frightened Taoist Qingshan so much that he trembled.

Taoist Qingshan looked at the wooden figure, confused: "How could it be your Majesty? It's obviously the prince's."

In a word, you are incriminating.

The emperor slashed at him fiercely with his sword: "Tell the truth, or I will make you wish you were dead, but you can't live."

He was so majestic, domineering, ruthless and decisive that Taoist Qingshan was immediately scared to death.

Only then did he realize that most of his body was cut and he could not move. If he did not tell the truth at this time, the emperor would definitely not let him go.

"Your Majesty, it was Concubine Xuan. It was Concubine Xuan who spent a large sum of money to invite the Taoist priest. She gave the Taoist priest her birth date and asked him to perform a ritual. She said that she wanted to make the man's soul fly away and he would never be reborn. Your Majesty, everything the Taoist priest said is true. Please understand clearly." Taoist Qingshan said immediately.

"Is this the birth date?" The queen immediately took out the little wooden figure, on which was the prince's birth date.

Taoist Qingshan took a look and nodded immediately: "Yes, this is it."

Jipin pretended to be shocked: "So, Concubine Xuan deliberately gave the Taoist the prince's birth date and eight characters, but in fact she used your Majesty's birth date and eight characters to perform a ritual. Could it be that Concubine Xuan wanted Prince Mo to replace your Majesty?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the whole room instantly dropped to below zero. The emperor was so furious that he broke the little wooden man in his hand.

The queen glanced at Ye Qiu's pale face and said, "Your Majesty, since Concubine Xuan is unconscious, why not ask this servant? She is Concubine Xuan's confidant and must know everything."

Ye Qiu was called out, and he was so scared that he fell to his knees and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I don't know. I don't know anything."

The emperor was in no mood to listen to her nonsense. He put the sword in his hand directly on Ye Qiu's neck: "Tell me, was it Concubine Xuan who did it? If you dare to tell a lie, I will kill all your clans!"

Ye Qiu was frightened instantly. Killing nine generations of a clan was a serious crime. Betraying Concubine Xuan would result in death at most, but her son and newborn grandson were innocent. Ye Qiu immediately made up his mind.

"I confess, I confess everything. These are all------" Before Ye Qiu finished speaking, a cough was heard.

The one who was coughing was Concubine Xuan.

The emperor frowned: "Concubine Xuan, are you awake?"
