But Shen Tangning was too perceptive and seemed to sense something. She took the initiative to avoid suspicion, and Shen Xiwei couldn't find an opportunity to make a move. She had no choice but to give up in resentment.
But the further along the pregnancy, the more dangerous the miscarriage becomes, and the greater the damage to oneself. Shen Xiwei was extremely anxious.
We can't delay any longer!
...
That day, Chi Jingyu had just finished court when he saw his servant running towards him in a panic. Before he could catch his breath, the servant hurriedly said, "It's terrible, Your Highness! Consort Shen has miscarried!"
Chi Jingyu was completely shocked and stood frozen in place: "What?!"
Chi Jingyu arrived at Shen Xiwei's courtyard with a somber expression. He saw Yun Que kneeling on the ground with her cheeks swollen, clearly having been slapped.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He passed by her without stopping, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard a mournful cry.
He hurried into the inner room, where a strong smell of blood hit him, causing him to frown instinctively.
Yu Zhu was kneeling before the bed, weeping. Shen Xiwei lay on the couch, his face deathly pale. Hearing the noise, he turned his head and looked over. His numb face finally showed some expression, and tears rolled down his cheeks. He looked utterly miserable: "Your Highness, our child is gone..."
Chi Jingyu felt a pang of pain in his heart. He had genuinely longed for this child to come into the world, and seeing Shen Xiwei's frail appearance, he couldn't help but be shocked.
He carefully stepped forward, took her hand, and comforted her through his grief, "Xiwei, we will have children again."
Shen Xiwei could no longer hold back, and she cried her heart out in his arms. Her tears were not feigned, but genuine.
Because the doctor said that the pregnancy was too far along and the miscarriage had damaged her health, making it difficult for her to conceive again, she gave the doctor a sum of hush money to keep him quiet.
Hearing Chi Jingyu's gentle words of comfort, a flash of hatred crossed Shen Xiwei's eyes.
Even though she was the one who caused this outcome, she still couldn't help but feel resentful!
If it weren't for everyone pressuring her, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation!
Chi Jingyu quickly learned what had happened: Yun Que and Shen Xiwei had a conflict, and then Shen Xiwei accidentally fell and miscarried.
"The doctor said it's a fully formed baby boy." Shen Xiwei's eyes were filled with resentment. "Your Highness, you must do justice for me!"
Overwhelmed with grief, Chi Jingyu called Yun Que aside to be alone.
Before she could speak, Yun Que said, "Aunt Chen fell down on her own."
How could Chi Jingyu believe her? He said coldly, "Yun Que, do you think that just because you're his person, I won't dare to touch you?"
After meeting that person, he realized that Hibari was one of their people.
He was furious; the other side's spies had infiltrated his residence unnoticed.
Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything to the other party for the time being.
A strange glint flashed in Yun Que's eyes as she calmly looked at him: "Your Highness, you have been blinded by greed. Causing Concubine Shen to miscarry is of no benefit to this servant."
Chi Jingyu sneered and said angrily, "You think I'll let you off again? Guards, drag her away and give her twenty lashes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everything went black before his eyes, and he collapsed and fainted.
"Your Highness!"
The servants rushed forward in a panic and helped the person up.
"Quickly, get a doctor!"
Chi Jingyu's consciousness was in a daze, as if he had fallen into a void.
He saw many unfamiliar memories, things he had never experienced, yet felt as if he had.
Just like the past.
