The Empress asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
The palace maid replied, "I don't know. Does Her Majesty wish to go and take a look?"
Let's go!
The Empress rushed towards the Jade Hibiscus Palace, and Shen Nanzhi returned the way he came to find Mu Chenshuang. He was extremely anxious the whole way.
It wasn't until Xue Jiajia, who was sitting in the pavilion, stepped forward and asked, "Miss Xue, weren't you with Princess Weiyang?"
Xue Jiajia was at a loss for words. Although she tried her best to hide it, her poor acting skills and flustered eyes made Shen Nanzhi know the result.
Where did they go?
Shen Nanzhi's pressing questioning intimidated Xue Jiajia, leaving her with no choice but to honestly answer where they had gone.
Shen Nanzhi turned and strode away.
It wasn't until he was far away that Xue Jiajia came back to her senses and couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, only Mu Chenshuang can keep them in check. Ah, she truly deserves to be called a female general. I wish I could go to the battlefield someday."
When Shen Nanzhi arrived at the Imperial Garden, he saw Mu Chenshuang alone, heading towards the Jade Hibiscus Palace.
"Shuang'er".
Mu Chenshuang turned around and saw Shen Nanzhi running towards her.
When Shen Nanzhi reached her, he slowed his pace. "Why are you alone?"
Mu Chenshuang didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "Have you finished talking with the Empress?"
Seeing that she was unwilling to answer, Shen Nanzhi did not press further, "Consort Rong has had an accident, and Her Majesty the Empress has gone to Yufu Palace."
"I just heard that Consort Rong has had an accident, and I'm going to go and see her."
"This is none of your business. What are you going to do there?"
"Let's go take a look. With Consort Rong in trouble, no one is in the mood to continue admiring the flowers."
She had already sensed something was wrong with Consort Rong's health just by looking at her complexion, and now that this incident has happened, it's probably not that simple.
Inside the Jade Hibiscus Palace.
Cries of pain echoed throughout the palace. The imperial physician rushed to treat Consort Rong. Consort Rong lay on the bed, already covered in sweat and pale-faced.
When the Empress arrived, she looked at the palace maids serving in the hall and asked, "What happened?"
The palace maid answered tremblingly, "Consort Rong just drank the medicine to prevent miscarriage, and then her stomach started to hurt uncontrollably."
The Empress's face darkened, and she immediately ordered everyone in the Jade Lotus Palace to kneel and wait in front of the hall.
The Empress waited inside the main hall.
Consort Ling and Consort Xian rushed over upon hearing the news to inquire about the current situation of the Empress and Consort Rong.
soon.
Feng Guche rushed over in a flurry, his expression grave, "Rong'er!"
When the Empress saw him enter, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is treating Consort Rong. Consort Rong will definitely be alright. Your Majesty, please be patient."
Feng Guche flicked his sleeve and paced back and forth anxiously.
At this moment.
From inside the inner palace came Consort Rong's heart-wrenching cry, "Your Majesty!"
Feng Guche strode towards the inner hall, calling out, "Rong'er!"
At this moment, the imperial physician and the palace maid knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.
Feng Guche hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed, helped up the already disheveled Consort Rong, and angrily questioned the kneeling imperial physician, "What happened?"
The imperial physician kowtowed and knelt on the ground, his voice trembling as he said, "Consort Rong... has miscarried."
These words were spoken.
An atmosphere of death and solemnity instantly filled the entire hall.
The Empress stood aside and watched. She could clearly feel Feng Guche's anger. How many concubines in the harem had miscarried for various reasons and had not received the Emperor's favor? Even she was no exception. She could only see his anger in Consort Rong, just like in the case of Lady An back then.
Consort Rong wept uncontrollably in the Emperor's arms, sobbing repeatedly, "Your Majesty, someone must have framed me and our son. You must find the murderer and avenge our son."
Consort Rong kept expressing her longing for the child, which made the emperor feel guilty and heartbroken.
Feng Guche flew into a rage and said, "A bunch of useless trash! Guards, everyone in Yufu Palace has failed in their duty to their master. Take them all out and execute them on a chosen day."
Upon hearing this, the palace maids were so frightened that they kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
The Empress stopped her, saying, "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is not to punish the servants, but to find out the cause. The child can be conceived again. Consort Rong needs to rest and recuperate now."
Consort Ling then comforted her, saying, "Your Majesty, the Empress is right. Consort Rong was perfectly fine at the flower-viewing banquet just now. This sudden miscarriage must be suspicious."
The two men's words brought the emperor back to his senses, and his cold gaze fell on the imperial physician. "Imperial Physician Chen, why did Consort Rong suddenly miscarry?"
