"Why did Aci suddenly go to Liangfei's place?"

After sending Chao Ci back to Linhua Palace, Lou Yue asked someone to bring him the nourishing decoction he drank every day. He held it in his hands and fed it to him while asking.

Chao Ciyuan seemed very resistant to the spoon that the man handed to his lips. He frowned and drank little by little. After hearing the man's question, he stopped and looked up into the man's eyes.

When Lou Yue met his gaze, his movements stopped, but there was nothing strange about his expression.

Although he relied on military power to gain the throne, he was also a scheming emperor, and he still had this pretense.

Chao Ci's heart sank a little bit.

He remembered that Concubine Liang said that the situation of her pregnancy was very bad.

What's wrong? Is it very dangerous, or is it already...

But if it was really Lou Yue who was doing it secretly, Chao Ci could do nothing in this deep palace. All the imperial doctors obeyed Lou Yue's orders. Lou Yue said that he was not sick, so even if Chao Ci died in front of him, he would still be pretending to be not sick.

Deaf and mute in prison, Chao Ci had no way to save the child in her belly.

Chao Ci was so panicked that chills ran down his spine, and he could not sit still. But panic was useless, he had to find a way to give his child the last chance of survival.

"I still feel very uncomfortable today, even more than in the past few days. The imperial doctor who was invited said that I was just like this because of overwork, but I feel really uneasy. I accidentally learned that Liangfei has some medical skills and can endure the pain.

I can't help but want to ask her," Chao Ci said.

Since he returned to the palace, it was rare for him to say so many words to Lou Yue in one breath.

He almost told the truth. If it was really Lou Yue, it would be impossible to hide this from him. How powerful Lou Yue is and how terrifying it is. Apart from Lou Yue himself, I am afraid he has been with him all his life.

The people on the periphery know the official speeches best. The intelligence network of the scouts raised by Lou Yue, even if there are a few more rats in the capital, they may not be able to hide it from them.

And with Lou Yue's personality, if he really wants to take action - and looking at the current situation, he doesn't want to let himself know - then he will definitely put people around Chao Ci. This time Lou Yue will be there when he meets Liang Fei

This can be verified by arriving at the scene for the first time.

In this case, he might as well tell the truth to Lou Yue.

"No matter how good a good concubine is in medical skills, she can't be better than the imperial doctor. You are suffering from a sudden illness and you seek medical treatment indiscriminately." Lou Yue looked a little helpless.

"But what if someone bribes the imperial doctor? This is the first child of my concubine and your majesty. I don't know how many people are watching him..." Chao Ci grabbed Lou Yue's sleeves, and even his voice trembled slightly.

Lou Yue's chest tightened.

Chao Ci was right.

And the person who wanted to harm his child was not someone else, not the concubines, not the political enemies of the court...but Lou Yue himself.

"More overthinking." Lou Yue put down the decoction and held Chao Ci's hand in his palm, "As long as I am alone, no one dares to touch your child."

Chao Ci's eyes grew colder and colder.

…………

Two more days passed.

This was the last time Chao Ci took the abortion pill.

The panic and fear in Lou Yue's heart was no less than that of the imperial court, so he did not even go to the Qinzheng Palace after the morning dynasty. Instead, he stayed in the Linhua Palace.

After lunch, the maid in the imperial dining room brought anti-fetal medicine as usual.

Chao Ci looked at the anti-fetal medicine held in the palace maid's hand, and his fingertips hidden in the cuffs became cold.

He picked it up and took a sip, then stopped.

Lou Yue seemed to be normal, but in fact he had been nervously paying attention to Chao Ci's movements.

"What's wrong?" Lou Yue asked him.

Then Chao Ci frowned and said, "This medicine is too cold."

"Take it and heat it up." Lou Yue said to the little palace maid.

There is no room for error in the things given to the Queen. The temperature of this medicine is obviously no different from the previous days.

But the person in charge was moody, and the queen was pregnant, so it was normal for her mood to change for no reason, so the maid didn't suspect anything.

Take the medicine back and heat it up. It takes two sticks of incense to come and go.

This time was enough for the small portion of the decoction that Chao Ci swallowed to take effect.

As expected, Chao Ci felt a familiar falling pain.

Along with the pain, there was a sudden coldness that swept through the limbs and bones.

As expected...

When the palace maid brought the medicine and handed it to him again, Chao Ci took it with both hands, but suddenly knocked over the bowl of medicine.

The harsh sound of porcelain falling to the floor shocked everyone in the room.

"Aci?" Lou Yue stood up and looked at the messy ground.

"This medicine is poisonous." Chao Ci said directly.

Lou Yue's expression froze. He didn't expect Chao Ci to actually find out.

But this strangeness changed extremely quickly, and he recovered almost instantly.

"How could it be? I'm going to be willful. The imperial doctor said that you must drink this medicine all the time. If you stop drinking it for one day, it will be in vain." Lou Yue persuaded, then turned to look at the little palace maid, "Have someone make another bowl and bring it over."

."

"Yes." The little palace maid was so frightened that she knelt down when Chao Ci suddenly knocked over the medicine cup. When she heard Lou Yue's instructions, she just nodded timidly. She quickly stood up and prepared to leave.

"Stop." Chao Ci stopped her, his voice cold.

The little palace maid's back stiffened.

When the Empress called her, she naturally did not dare to disobey, so she could only turn around and face the court speech, lowered her head and saluted: "What are your orders, the Empress?"

Chao Ci ignored the little palace maid and turned to look at Lou Yue.

"It's you, right?" Chao Ci asked.

"Aci, what are you talking about?" Lou Yue seemed a little confused.

"You drugged me, and you didn't want my child to live." Chao Ci said word for word, without calling herself a concubine, or addressing Lou Yue as "Your Majesty."

Lou Yue's eyes flashed slightly, and he was about to say something.

"You don't have to lie to me anymore!" Chao Ci stood up suddenly, and all the emotions he had suppressed before burst out at this moment, "Lou Yue, I'm not a fool!"

At this moment, except for Chao Ci and Lou Yue, everyone present immediately knelt down, and the two groups started fighting.

The Queen called His Majesty by his first name and questioned him sharply, which was extremely disrespectful.

"Gu..." Lou Yue also lost his words for a moment.

Of course he knew that Chao Ci was not stupid.

But this child, this child...how did he keep it?

"What are you going to do..." Chao Ci lowered his head, covered his face with his hands, and burst into tears.

"He is your child too...why can't you keep him?"

At this moment, he was really desperate.

He has nothing left. Do you want him to watch Jue'er die now?

Lou Yue obviously loved Jue'er so much. He said he was jealous of Jue'er Zhong clinging to him, but in fact he loved Jue'er no less than Chao Ci. On the day of Jue'er's wedding, he went to Chao Ci with two bottles of wine.

Ci, the wine was obviously not strong, but it made the forty-year-old man cry and laugh at the same time.

Why is Lou Yue so cruel in this life?

He no longer expected Lou Yue to love Jue'er as he did in his previous life, but why couldn't he even tolerate Jue'er's life?

What...how can he keep Jue'er?

Seeing Chao Ci's tears, Lou Yue panicked instantly.

He hurriedly came over, took Chao Ci, who had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, in his arms and wiped away his tears.

"Aci, I'm sorry...I'm not, it's not that I can't tolerate you and my child..." he said with a trembling voice.

But the truth stuck in his throat.

But how should he tell Chao Ci? Because this child will kill him, because of a dream?

Even Lou Yue himself knew that this was too ridiculous and too arbitrary.

"I beg you, Lou Yue... This is the last time I beg you in my life. You don't need to love him or protect him. I just ask you not to kill him. Please..." Chao Ci couldn't stop his tears.

I couldn't stop crying until my whole body was shaking.

He grabbed Lou Yue's sleeves and begged the man who had broken him and wanted to kill his child.

Lou Yue's heart seemed to be strangled and pierced by the cry.

He couldn't help but blush.

After a while, Lou Yue said to Lin Cheng in a mute voice: "Please come over, please."

The imperial doctor arrived not long after. Today was the last day of taking medicine. In fact, Lou Yue had already told him to wait at the nearest place so that he could take care of Chao Ci who had a miscarriage as soon as possible and avoid any accidents.

The person who came was still an order from the Imperial Medical Office. He saw the mess on the ground, the empress who was crying silently, and His Majesty who was holding her in his arms.

It seems things are not going well.

He thought with a shiver down his spine.

He was about to kneel down and salute, when His Majesty said to him: "Come quickly and help A Ci take a look."

He paused and his voice was a little hoarse: "That medicine... Ah Ci fell down. Come and see if there is any chance of saving the child."

The order from the Imperial Medical Office really makes my scalp numb.

Even if she didn't drink the last bowl, she had already drank four times before. It was almost impossible for the child in the queen's belly to survive.

But since His Majesty said so, he could only bite the bullet and feel Chao Ci's pulse first before speaking.

What if... there is still hope?

Chao Ci handed his hand to the Imperial Physician's Office and looked at him hopefully, as if he was holding on to the last bit of hope.

After the imperial doctor finished, he was silent for a long time.

Chao Ci's expression also became darker and darker.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly." Lou Yue urged.

In fact, he also knew that the odds were against him.

"This... I have taken four doses of decoction before, and the child in the mother's belly has stopped growing and is unable to rejuvenate. Even if the medicine is stopped now, the child will be a stillbirth, which will only cause greater damage to the mother's body." The imperial physician.

He considered his words and spoke carefully.

Chao Ci's face turned completely gray in an instant.

Lou Yue also became cold all over.

After being disappointed and heartbroken, he seemed to have calmed down again. He could not keep this child in the first place.

After being silent for a long time, he said: "That medicine... make another bowl."

Chao Ci's eyes suddenly widened and he struggled in Lou Yue's arms: "No!"

"He's not dead yet! Jue'er isn't dead yet!"

At least Jue'er isn't dead yet...

Save him, don't kill him like this...

Tears overflowed all over his face, he looked embarrassed and sad, like a madman.

Others cannot understand the feelings that pregnant women have for the child in their belly. It is obviously a child that they have never seen before and has not yet formed.

So what if it’s gone? Anyway, it can be regenerated.

But only pregnant women know that they bear the weight of a life and feel the birth and growth of another life in their belly day and night. What a wonderful and warm experience it is.

Chao Ci is even more serious than ordinary pregnant women, because he has seen his own child, and he has loved this child for decades. What he gave up was not an unformed child that he had never seen before, but a child that had already been embedded in his bones and blood.

’s Jue’er.

How could he watch him die?

At this moment, Lou Yue didn't notice the word "Jue'er" coming from Chao Ci's mouth and had no time to care about it.

His heart was broken by Chao Ci's crying and despair.
