Chapter 71 Small Business
At this time, Miaoyun had helped Su Jingyao take off her palace dress and carefully removed the makeup on her face.
Su Jingyao's brows were tightly furrowed, and her pale face looked so pitiful that people couldn't help but feel distressed when they saw her.
She covered her stomach, and finally couldn't hold back her tears any longer. They rolled down her bloodless cheeks, leaving behind heartbreaking tear marks.
"Your Majesty, I am in so much pain."
Su Jingyao's voice trembled, filled with pain and helplessness.
"Yaoyao is in pain somewhere. The imperial physician will be here soon. Yaoyao will be fine."
Jun Zechen's face was filled with panic like never before. After becoming an emperor, he never showed his emotions, but now his panic was so obvious.
Even when he was competing fiercely with his brothers for the position of crown prince and experienced life-threatening situations, he had never been so panic-stricken.
He was afraid that she had been plotted against by some ill-intentioned women in the harem, that she had been poisoned, or that something unexpected had happened to her...
"My stomach hurts, Your Majesty..."
Su Jingyao choked up, her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, full of pain.
In fact, the most painful moment has passed. She was in so much pain that she could hardly speak, but now she can start performing.
She wanted to make her own pain become a great pain in Jun Zechen's heart.
Jun Zechen had no idea how to relieve her pain and was so anxious that he was at a loss.
He could only place his big hands gently on her abdomen and press softly for her.
"Your Majesty, I am scared. Why am I bleeding? Wuwu..."
Su Jingyao sobbed, her cries filled with fear and anxiety.
"Don't be afraid, everything will be fine, everything will be fine..."
Jun Zechen kept repeating these words, and no one knew whether he was saying these to comfort her or to comfort himself. His eyes were full of anxiety and heartache.
Finally, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and Doctor Li arrived with his female doctor.
He looked anxious, with beads of sweat on his forehead. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I am your humble servant."
"Don't come over here!" Jun Zechen shouted anxiously, his voice full of impatience and irritability.
Doctor Li did not dare to be polite any more and stood up hastily. Jun Zechen quickly moved away from the bed.
Seeing this, Miaoyun quickly brought a stool over for Doctor Li.
Doctor Li sat down, stretched out his hand, placed it on Su Jingyao's wrist and began to take her pulse.
Doctor Li looked solemn.
This is clearly the pulse sign of damage to Qi and blood. Why is this happening?
Doctor Li hesitated for a moment, then spoke carefully, "Your Majesty, why is the Queen's Qi and blood deficiency so severe?"
Normally, the queens in the palace are carefully cared for and would not have this kind of blood loss symptom under normal circumstances.
Miao Yun, who was standing by, quickly replied, "Doctor Li, the master just bled a lot. I just cleaned it up, and the master has stopped bleeding now. What happened?"
Miaoyun's face was full of anxiety and worry, and her voice trembled a little when she spoke.
When Doctor Li heard this, he was shocked and immediately asked the female doctor beside him to check it out.
Then, he asked anxiously, "When did your period come?"
"The master's period has not come this month. The master's period is very regular every month. According to calculations, it should be seven days later."
Miaoyun said anxiously, her eyes fixed on Doctor Li, wanting to quickly find out what happened to her master.
Doctor Li's brows were wrinkled as if they could pinch a fly to death, his face was full of confusion, and he didn't know how to open his teeth.
Seeing this, Jun Zechen's whole body emanated thin strands of coldness, which was icy and bone-chilling, making people shudder.
"What happened to Concubine Chun Shu?"
Jun Zechen gritted his teeth and asked word by word, his voice suppressing the anger that was about to burst out.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if the Queen can sleep with you recently."
Doctor Li asked tremblingly, his voice trembling slightly.
Jun Zechen stared at Doctor Li with cold eyes like icy cones.
Does he want to die?
After delaying for so long, not only can he not explain clearly, but I even dare to ask him such private matters.
"Doctor Li, the master has been sleeping with me on and off for the past half month." Miaoyun replied quickly, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.
When Doctor Li heard this, he felt his heart sink to the bottom, his legs went weak, and he immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is having a miscarriage!" Doctor Li's voice was filled with helplessness.
His words were like a heavy hammer, dealing a heavy blow to Jun Zechen and Miao Yun.
Miaoyun knew about her master's palace decoration plan, and originally she just thought that it might just cause some rashes or something, but it shouldn't be a big deal.
But, the master is pregnant? !
The young master still...
Miaoyun's eyes suddenly became dull, as if they had lost focus, and then mist rose in her eyes.
Jun Zechen also froze in place for a moment. After a moment, a look of deep worry appeared on his face. He then turned his head with difficulty to look at Su Jingyao on the bed.
At this moment, Su Jingyao seemed to have been drained of all her energy and spirit, and her expression was as dull as a puppet.
The originally lively look now became confused and helpless, and the big eyes stared straight ahead without blinking, empty and lifeless.
Jun Zechen was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
"Doctor Li, are you sure? Concubine Chun Shu has only been giving birth for less than five months."
Jun Zechen gritted his teeth, his voice trembling slightly, he couldn't believe this fact, if it was really a miscarriage, she would be so sad.
At this time, the beads of sweat on Doctor Li's forehead gathered together and slid down his cheeks.
He said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I took your pulse and it showed that you were indeed suffering from a deficiency of Qi and blood, and there was no sign of poisoning or other suspicious pulse signs."
"But the Empress is bleeding from below, and the pulse signs of qi and blood deficiency after a miscarriage are also correct. Perhaps it's because the month is short and we can't detect the pulse signs of pregnancy, but these symptoms are undoubtedly a miscarriage." Doctor Li's voice was full of helplessness and bitterness.
Jun Zechen's dark eyes were filled with gloom and terror at this moment.
He suppressed his voice and said, "Come here and take a look at the rash on Concubine Chun Shu's body to see if it caused Concubine Chun Shu to have a miscarriage."
As he spoke, Jun Zechen reached out and took the stunned woman's hand out from under the quilt.
A series of red rashes on fair skin looks shocking and extremely scary.
Doctor Li took a look and said hesitantly, "Madam, this seems to be an allergy symptom?"
Miaoyun, who had been crying silently, finally calmed down at this moment. She never thought that this palace dress would actually hurt her master!
Miaoyun lowered her head to hide the cruel look in her eyes.
"Doctor Li, the master's skin is more delicate than others. This is the palace dress the master is wearing today. The master usually only wears Yunjin. Although the material of this palace dress is also worn by ordinary concubines, the master will feel uncomfortable wearing it. Doctor Li, would you like to take a look?" Miaoyun said while choking.
Doctor Li quickly went over to the palace dress and smelled it, then reached out and gently touched the fabric of the palace dress.
"There seems to be nothing wrong with this material, but it is definitely not as smooth as Yunjin. But even so, your rash shouldn't be so serious..."
Doctor Li frowned slightly and talked to himself, with a hint of deep doubt in his eyes, his gaze moving back and forth between the palace dress and Su Jingyao.
Then he reached out his hand again and touched the embroidery of the palace dress, rubbing his fingers on the embroidery repeatedly.
There was actually a very slight tingling sensation.
Doctor Li's eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty, the material of this palace dress seems to be fine, but the embroidery may have stained something, and it caused a stinging sensation after contacting the skin. Your Majesty's skin is already delicate, and you have worn this palace dress for such a long time, so the rash has appeared."
When Jun Zechen heard Doctor Li's analysis, a surge of rage rose up in his chest like a tide.
These women in the harem will do anything to win favor!
Jun Zechen's face was terribly gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Maybe you know what it is?"
"Your Majesty, this tingling sensation is similar to the juice of the euphorbia obesa, but the evergreen and poinsettia also have similar effects. I am not able to tell exactly what juice is on the embroidery."
"Did this juice cause Concubine Chun Shu to have miscarriage?" Jun Zechen continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, if these juices come into contact with the skin, they will cause tingling, rashes, swelling and other symptoms. If you accidentally ingest them, you may vomit continuously at the very least, or even fall into a coma at the worst."
Doctor Li explained in detail.
"It was just skin contact, it shouldn't have caused you to have miscarriage."
"However, I have learned that Your Majesty had been wearing her palace dress to attend the banquet after the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and then stood on the high platform to watch the performance. In addition, she fell down afterwards. Your Majesty's pregnancy was no more than half a month, which is an extremely unstable time. In addition, Your Majesty had just given birth, so perhaps this is the reason..."
Doctor Li spoke truthfully, his expression solemn and helpless.
Su Jingyao, whose eyes had been empty as if they had lost all their luster, suddenly had tears gushing out of her dull eyes uncontrollably like a flood breaking through a dam when she heard the imperial physician's words.
She curled up her body, like a wounded little beast, and sobbed, "Wuwu..."
The crying was so miserable and heartbreaking.
When Jun Zechen heard her sad cry, he quickly turned around and saw her pitiful appearance, his heart sank.
Then he waved to the people around him and said in a low and stern voice, "Everyone, step back."
After everyone had left the bedroom, Jun Zechen took off his outer robe and got onto the bed gently.
Then he held her in his arms, and Su Jingyao sat at the root of his legs, with her two slender arms tightly around his neck.
Her whole body shrank into his arms like a weak vine.
"Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I clearly felt unwell a long time ago, and the baby in my belly was protesting, but his careless mother didn't pay attention, so he left..."
"I am not worthy of being his mother, wuwu..."
Su Jingyao cried and spoke intermittently.
When Jun Zechen heard her blame all the mistakes on him, the pain in his heart seemed to drown him.
"It's not Yaoyao's fault. Yaoyao and I will have children in the future, and she will be reincarnated into Yaoyao's belly."
Jun Zechen lowered his head, and stroked the tears flowing freely on her cheeks with his slender fingers. His voice was gentle and soothing.
"Don't cry, I'm almost heartbroken."
"But it's not him who comes after me, Your Majesty, I feel so bad..."
Su Jingyao sobbed and her body trembled slightly.
Junze didn't know how to comfort her at this moment. He could only stroke her hair over and over again, and caress her back again and again, trying to bring her comfort and support.
Until Miaoyun brought in the medicine that Doctor Li had ordered.
Jun Zechen took the medicine bowl and coaxed her softly, "Come on, Yaoyao, drink the medicine."
Su Jingyao was tired of crying and drank the medicine in a daze.
This soup has a calming effect. After Su Jingyao finished drinking it, she gradually fell asleep not long after.
After Jun Zechen laid her slowly on the bed, his face, which had been so gentle and doting just now, instantly turned extremely cold, as if it could condense frost.
He put on the black and gold dragon robe again and walked out of the bedroom.
There is never a moment of peace in this harem.
The inexplicable poisonous liquid appearing on the palace dress, the palace maid falling from the high platform of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all these things were linked together and were all directed at Yaoyao.
How dare they?
There was a cold light flashing in Jun Zechen's eyes, anger was burning in his heart, and a violent and murderous emotion was surging.
