Chapter 739: Harm others and yourself
The room was filled with a strong smell of blood. Bai Jingyu frowned and followed the queen and Qin Shengrui inside.
The room and bed were all cleaned up, and Jiang Yunying was lying weakly. Due to blood loss, her face was pale, her eyes were half-open, and she had no energy at all.
"Your Highness..." Tears fell down as soon as he started speaking. Jiang Yunying looked at Qin Shengrui sadly, "Our child... the child is gone... I failed to protect our child... Your Highness... I am useless..."
Seeing Jiang Yunying burst into tears, Qin Shengrui stepped forward to hold her hand and comforted her: "I know you are sad, but the child is gone and we can still have another baby. The key is that you take good care of yourself."
"But my child... died unjustly... Your Highness must make the decision for us..."
Qin Shengrui turned around and glared at Bai Jingyu fiercely, then turned to Jiang Yunying and said, "Don't worry, our son will not die in vain. I will avenge him."
"Son, son?" Jiang Yunying's pupils shrank.
"Yes, it's my son."
Jiang Yunying clenched her fist violently, and then her tears flowed even more urgently, "I had a dream about my fetus...I dreamed that it was my son...I did not lie to Your Highness..."
"You don't really have a son."
The queen took a deep breath. It was useless to say anything at this time. The child was dead, and they were one step behind Yan Mu in the fight for the throne.
"Okay, there's no point in crying. If you didn't do any harm..." After the queen said this, she hurriedly shut her mouth and almost let it slip. She glanced at Bai Jingyu, then turned to Jiang Yunying, "I ask you
, your maid said that the fourth imperial concubine gave you some soup, and you felt uncomfortable in your lower abdomen after drinking it, and then this happened, but is it true?"
Jiang Yunying wiped her tears, looked at Bai Jingyu first, hesitated for a moment and then said: "That's true, but I didn't expect...I didn't expect that my sister would be so cruel."
The Queen narrowed her eyes, "Are you sure she is the Fourth Princess?"
"Last night she came to see me in this hospital and told me that she was the royal concubine. When my child was born, she would take her to her own hospital to raise her. I couldn't bear to bear it and begged her not to separate our mother and son. She said her son was dead.
I will not allow my son to live well."
When Qin Shengrui heard this, he was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked Bai Jingyu hard, "Did you really say such a thing?"
Bai Jingyu was kicked back several steps until she hit the west wall. She looked at Jiang Yunying and pretended to be surprised: "Sister, how could you wrongly accuse me like this?"
"Sister, I have always respected you, why did you harm me?"
"Are you sure you had a miscarriage after drinking that bowl of ginseng soup?"
"I'm sure of course!"
Bai Jingyu was silent and didn't speak for a while. A trace of pride flashed in Jiang Yunying's eyes. At the same time, she felt that Bai Jingyu was really stupid. The two of them had clearly broken the window, and she would actually give him a chance to frame her.
It's just a pity that the child is really a boy.
But it doesn't matter, as long as Bai Jingyu is pulled down from the position of the concubine, she will definitely take the position soon according to her skills. When the time comes, she will get pregnant and give birth to a child, and then she will be the legitimate son.
In order to get what you want, sacrifices are inevitable, but she has no regrets.
"It seems you have nothing to argue with, that's it..."
"That bowl of ginseng soup was not cooked in my courtyard, nor was it given to Concubine Jiang by me, nor did it pass through my hands." Bai Jingyu looked up at Qin Shengrui and said.
Qin Shengrui frowned, "It's obviously you who sent someone to this hospital!"
Jiang Yunying wiped her tears and said, "It was indeed sent by my sister. I drank a bowl of it every day."
Bai Jingyu sneered coldly and turned to look at the Queen, "My Lady, this ginseng soup was sent from your palace. You won't forget it, right?"
The queen was stunned for a moment and then remembered this matter. At that time, she told the nanny beside her to send a bowl of nourishing soup to Jiang Yunying every day. She had indeed forgotten about it for at least half a month.
"Is this the ginseng soup sent by someone from this palace?"
"You can call the nanny who delivers the soup and we'll find out."
The nanny was outside. The queen called people in and asked if the ginseng soup was delivered today.
Mammy nodded hurriedly, "It's ginseng soup. I brought it in the name of the fourth imperial concubine according to your instructions, and sent it directly to the concubine's room."
Hearing this, the room fell silent.
Jiang Yunying's face turned pale, and she turned her head bluntly to look at Bai Jingyu. When she saw the sarcastic look on her face, she knew she had been tricked.
"Why is there safflower in the ginseng soup sent by the Queen? It can't be that the Queen wants to harm the child in Jiang Concubine's belly, right?" Bai Jingyu asked lightly.
This sentence made Jiang Yunying's whole body tremble uncontrollably, while Qin Shengrui looked confused, obviously he hadn't figured it out yet. The queen had been immersed in the harem for many years, so she naturally understood this trick quickly.
Her face suddenly sank, "Ms. Jiang, what's going on?"
"I...I don't know...the fourth princess must have played a role in it..." Jiang Yunying said tremblingly.
Bai Jingyu sighed, "In order to avoid suspicion, I told the queen that I and my people will not handle this tonic soup. Can this nanny prove my innocence for me?"
The grandma thought for a while and said: "The slaves are always sent directly to the concubine's house, and her maids take over."
Bai Jingyu groaned, "Could it be that the maid is evil?"
"No, it won't happen!" Jiang Yunying was afraid that the maid would reveal her conspiracy, so she hurriedly defended her.
The queen was still shrewd and immediately called the maid in. The maid was still unwilling to tell the truth, but when she heard that this matter was going to be blamed on her, she immediately confessed.
"It's the concubine. The concubine asked the slave to buy red flowers and put them in the tonic soup delivered every day for more than ten days."
"You lied! How could I harm my own child? You must have been bribed to frame me like this!" Jiang Yunying shouted like a madman.
The maidservant was extremely frightened, so naturally she said something, "It is clear that the concubine is trying to frame the fourth imperial concubine, and she wants to pull her down from the position of the principal concubine, so that you can sit on her."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Concubine, don't forget that you bribed the maids around the little princess and deliberately asked them to take the little princess to the lake. You also threw the little princess's stuffed doll on the lake covered with a thin layer of ice, and then they sneaked away.
, the little princess stepped on the ice to pick up her stuffed doll. That day, you also asked the fourth princess to go for a walk in the small garden by the lake, and then deliberately said that you would leave beforehand. The fourth princess heard the little princess calling for help,
She hurriedly ran over, but because there was no one around her, she was so eager to save her daughter that she had no choice but to step on the ice with her big belly, and ended up falling in."
In order to save herself, the maid said anything in panic.
Qin Shengrui, no matter how stupid he was, understood it, and his face turned dark at that moment.
"Jiang Yunying!" He growled, "So in order to seize the position of the fourth imperial concubine's main wife, you killed the young princess and the young prince in the fourth imperial concubine's womb. You even did not hesitate to put ginseng in the soup in order to frame the fourth imperial concubine.
Honghua, kill the child in your belly, right?"
"Your Highness..." Jiang Yunying shook her head in panic.
"Really?" Qin Shengrui asked again fiercely.
How could Jiang Yunying dare to admit it? She kept crying and shaking her head.
