When Nuan Si woke up, it was already three days later. Her face was extremely pale, without any blood, and her whole body looked like a white paper. Lifeless.
"The baby... is gone, right?" Nuan Si touched her belly and spoke the first words.
"Mom, please take care of yourself." Belle cried until her eyes were red and swollen.
"Belle, what did the doctor say?" Nuan Si asked haggardly.
"Your Majesty..." Belle stopped talking.
Nuan Si looked straight at the ceiling and said, "Tell me the truth, Belle."
"The imperial doctor said... your mother has had a miscarriage and is now weak. She needs to take good care of herself." Belle said with a choked sob.
"Well, I understand." Nuan Si seemed very calm. When she fell down the steps, she knew that the baby was going to leave. Yes, this was her choice. She could not let the baby be born with sin.
"The Emperor has arrived." The eunuch at the outer door broke the peace in the room.
Mo Yu Wuhuan walked in casually, his face was extremely pale and colorless, it could be seen that he had not had much rest in the past few days.
"Nuansi, are you awake?" The emperor's voice was slightly hoarse.
"Have those pregnant women been released?" Nuansi was concerned about these issues.
"Well, let them all go. Only one died, so don't blame yourself." The emperor said distressedly.
"One of them died, yes, and I personally drank the soup made by that baby." Nuan Si said heartbroken.
"Nuan Si, you..." The emperor didn't know what to say to comfort Nuan Si. He knew that once a kind-hearted woman like Nuan Si knew the truth, she would live in fear and self-blame forever.
"I'm tired, let's go." Nuan Si whispered six words, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The emperor knew that she was not really sleepy, but just because she didn't want to see him. She probably hated her very much.
Nuan Si's condition gradually improved, and the emperor still visited her every day, but did not stay overnight.
On this day, the wind was beautiful and the sun was shining brightly. Nuan Si was sitting alone in the pavilion drinking tea. Since she recovered, her whole person has changed. She no longer likes to talk or smile. She looks very sad. There is a look in her eyes.
I could feel her pain.
"Belle, why are there firecrackers?" Nuansi asked blankly.
Belle was startled and said slowly: "Last night, Concubine Qiu gave birth to a daughter, and Qiu Shui was setting off firecrackers to celebrate."
After hearing this, Nuan Si's heart tightened: "Her child was born? If my child had not been aborted, it would have been more than two months ago."
Belle knew that the queen was in love with the scene, so she said comfortingly: "Please relax, queen. You are still young and you will have children in the future."
Nuansi shook her head: "It's different. The child is the only one, but she is gone."
How wonderful it would be if Nuan Si had not had a miscarriage and the child was born safely. I'm afraid it would be a different story, right? If the child was born smoothly, Nuan Si even thought that for the sake of the child, she might be able to stay in the palace with peace of mind.
, to give the child a stable place, but now, it is too late, the child is gone, and she is even more determined to leave.
Listening to the sound of Qiushui Yiren's firecrackers, which was so harsh, Nuan Si sneered: "Who said that only my child bears the sin, isn't Shangguan Qiushui the same? Her child was also saved with my blood."
"Mother, please don't say these words again." Bei'er was afraid that if Nuan Si's words were heard by interested people, it would cause trouble, but Nuan Si didn't care anymore. Ever since she drove away Snow Concubine, she was not afraid of fighting. Now
She is much more cruel than before.
Qiushui Yiren
Concubine Qiu, who had just given birth, held her baby in her arms, her eyes full of love: "Your Majesty, do you think our daughter is beautiful?"
Mo Yu Wuhuan, who was sitting aside, replied absently: "Yes."
"Your Majesty, thank you for saving the child. Otherwise, I'm afraid she would not have a chance to come to this world." Qiu Shui was very moved by the fact that the Emperor donated the blood of the Dragon Beard and Phoenix. She also knew that the Emperor may treat her differently from others, but for herself
, causing the Queen Empress to have a miscarriage, which she did not expect. Although she has always disliked the little Queen, she can understand the pain of losing a child because she is a mother and can experience the connection between mother and child.
Feel.
"Yes." The emperor still responded mechanically, without any energy at all.
"Your Majesty, give your daughter a name." Qiu Shui held the child and looked at the Emperor longingly.
"Whatever, as long as you like it." Mo Yu Wuhuan dropped these words and stood up to leave.
Qiu Shui could feel the emperor's cold attitude, and she could understand it. After all, the emperor felt guilty about the queen's miscarriage, so although she felt uncomfortable, she didn't say anything.
Nuan Si thought a lot in the past few days. She suddenly felt that this incident was not a coincidence. She was afraid that someone was deliberately obstructing it. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that Concubine Qiu wanted the blood of dragon, beard and phoenix when she was pregnant?
After thinking about it, Nuansi decided to find out the truth. She didn't want her child to die in vain...
A few days later, Belle brought back a piece of news that made Nuansi furious.
"Mother, Hui Bin's mother was seriously ill at home, but she never died. I heard that she used ginseng to prolong her life." Belle told the truth that she had found out in the past few days.
"Oh? Wild ginseng is priceless, and I'm afraid the hospital cannot afford it." Nuansi analyzed.
Belle nodded: "Well, this slave also found this strange, so I went to check the mansion with the most ginseng in the city. Where does your Majesty guess it is?"
Nuan Si raised her eyebrows: "Where?"
"It's the Prime Minister's Mansion." Beier said solemnly.
Nuan Si's cold light flashed and she gritted her teeth and said, "It's actually her?"
Bei'er nodded: "Hui Bin had a good relationship with Mrs. Lan before, but she never thought anything of it. It turns out that they have such a close relationship. It must be true that Hui Bin's mother's ginseng comes from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Mrs. Lan's kind
How can women help others so easily, so they must have reached some kind of consensus."
Nuan Si nodded, agreeing with Belle's words.
"Miss, please think about it, did Hui Bin do anything strange before the accident?" Beier asked carefully.
Nuan Si lowered his head, carefully recalled what happened these days, and suddenly said: "I remember it. A few days ago, I was admiring flowers in the Imperial Garden. I accidentally tripped and stumbled. It was Hui Bin who held me up.
, she grabbed my wrist at that time."
Belle suddenly realized and said, "That's right. Hui Bin must have taken the opportunity to feel her pulse and found out about the pregnancy, so she told Mrs. Lan."
Nuan Si also got the general idea and sighed: "Hui concubine has always been as timid as a mouse. I didn't expect that she was the one who caused trouble and killed my child."
"I just don't know if Concubine Qiu is involved in this plan." Belle said doubtfully.
Nuan Si shook her head: "Although I don't like Shangguan Qiushui, I understand her character. She is aloof and aloof and never takes anyone seriously, so she must not know about this plan. However, Hui Bin's father,
Meng Ziyang must have been involved in this matter."
Because Meng Ziyang was the one who diagnosed and treated Concubine Qiu, the blood of Dragon Beard and Phoenix must also be his lie. The purpose was obvious, which was to force the emperor to persuade the young empress to donate blood to Concubine Qiu.
"Mother, your analysis is correct, but these are all our guesses, so we are not sure these are facts." Belle said an important factor, which is that these are just their guesses.
Even if she told the emperor, there was no real evidence. Mrs. Lan could have given her the ginseng because she had a good relationship with Concubine Hui.
Even if the emperor really knew about it, it would only be a punishment for concubine Hui, but Mrs. Lan could still explain it to herself, so Nuansi felt that she could not tell the emperor about it.
"Belle, I have a way." Nuan Si said with an idea flashing in his mind.
night
Huixin Hall is located in a remote area of the inner palace. Hui Concubine is a very low-key person and seldom interacts with other concubines.
That day, just after nightfall, Hui Bin saw a note on the table: "Let's get together in the forest."
When she thought of someone making an appointment with her, it should be Mrs. Lan. Because this plan was very successful, she even threatened her father with her mother's life to act with her, successfully defrauding the emperor's trust and forcing the little queen to donate blood, which led to a miscarriage.
There was a small blood curse accident, but the little queen still failed to save the child. This result should be satisfactory to Mrs. Lan.
In the back forest, Snow Concubine dressed in black and elegant clothes arrived for an appointment.
The woman opposite was carrying her on her back and was dressed in white. Since it was night and she couldn't see clearly, she always mistakenly thought she was Mrs. Lan.
"You did a good job, so I plan to give you some more ginseng this time." The woman in white said.
Although the voice was a bit strange, the tone seemed to be that of Bai Ruolan, or Bai Ruolan's confidant, so Hui Bin hurriedly said humbly: "Thank you, Mrs. Lan."
The woman in white was shocked, turned around slowly, and looked at Hui Bin coldly: "It seems that I guessed it right, it is indeed Bai Ruolan."
Seeing the woman's face clearly, Hui Bi stayed there like a bolt from the blue. After a moment, she came back to her senses: "The Emperor...the Queen?"
Nuan Si ignored her and continued: "Meng Hui, I have never had any enmity with you, why did you frame my child?"
Hui Bin hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "I had to do it in order to save my mother."
Nuan Si laughed sarcastically: "You have to do this, Hui concubine. If you do any injustice, you will be killed. Your and your father's hands are stained with my child's blood. You will definitely not end well."
Hui Bin remained silent. She knew that she would be punished sooner or later for doing this, but she didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.
Suddenly, Hui concubine knelt down and said, "My dear, one person is responsible for the work and the other is responsible. My father is really forced to have no choice. Please give me a way out for my father and my mother."
Thinking of framing the queen, which would be a capital crime for annihilating nine tribes, Hui Bin felt her hands and feet were cold.
"Give you a way to survive? What about my child? Who gave her a way to survive?" Nuan Si said angrily.
"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to open your eyes. Meng Huiding must pay for the life of the unborn emperor."
"Hui Bin, since I know everything today, I will not let you go. However, for the sake of your mother, I decided to let your parents go, but you must give me a satisfactory result." Nuan
After thinking about it, he left without looking back.
The next day, news came that Hui Bin died suddenly. The imperial doctor determined that she committed suicide by taking poison...
When Nuansi heard the news, she just smiled slightly and then said: "My child, Mommy has begun to take revenge for you. She is just the beginning."
"Your Majesty, Meng Ziyang has resigned from his post and returned to his hometown with the Emperor. Do we need to take action in the middle?"
"What did he take with him?" Nuansi asked.
"There is only a carriage, some luggage inside, and a seriously ill lady." Belle answered truthfully.
"Well, then let them go. They are already in their prime years and there is no need to worry about them." Nuan Si said decisively.
Then, he turned back to look at Belle: "Belle, am I particularly bad now?"
When Bei'er heard this, she burst into tears: "I understand your mistress's suffering, and she is also forced to do nothing."
Nuan Si smiled sadly: "Yes, if they don't force me and kill my children, how can I get rid of them? In this harem, it's not just about being wise and protecting yourself. Those women always have to fight to the death.
, they should never touch my children, so I will definitely make them pay with their blood."
Nuan Si then smiled softly: "Next, Bai Ruolan, right?"
