"Concubine Xiang!" Exclamations rang out in Weiyang Palace. In the inner hall, the queen heard the noise outside before she sat down. She frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Someone from the palace had already hurried in from outside, reporting urgently: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiang has fainted outside the palace."
When the queen heard this, she suddenly turned her head: "What?"
Although she does not like Concubine Xiang, it does not mean that she hopes that something will happen to Concubine Xiang in her palace. Moreover, Concubine Xiang is still pregnant. If there is something wrong with her, she will not be able to explain it. What's more, Concubine Xiang is still pregnant.
, now her situation is also very bad.
The queen turned around and walked out of the palace. She saw that Concubine Xiang's face was pale, with beads of sweat on her forehead, and her brows were furrowed, as if she was in severe pain.
"What are you still waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and call the imperial doctor?" The queen's voice was sharp, and her tone slightly changed.
After hearing this, some of the stunned palace attendants hurriedly ran out of the hall. The queen calmed down her breath a little, and then said to Qian Xin, who was hugging Concubine Xiang, "Carry Concubine Xiang into the inner hall."
Qianxin looked a little panicked, nodded quickly, picked up Ning Qian, and entered the inner hall. The nanny beside the queen had spread a quilt on the soft couch, and Qianxin quickly placed Ning Qian on it.
On the quilt.
The queen looked at Ning Qian's bloodless face and snorted coldly: "Why are you running around when you are pregnant and don't know how to cherish yourself?" But her heart was already a little confused.
The imperial doctor came late, and everyone in the palace had been waiting for a long time. The queen could no longer sit still, so she stood up and said, "The imperial hospital is only a quarter of an hour away from Weiyang Palace. It's been almost half an hour. Why hasn't the imperial doctor come yet?"
Mammy, go and see for yourself what’s going on.”
The nanny quickly responded and left the inner hall.
After a while, the nanny came back, but there was no imperial doctor behind her. "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that your majesty had ordered that the matter concerning Concubine Xiang must be reported as soon as possible, so he went to the Tai Chi Hall."
"Isn't Your Majesty attending the morning court now? You can't even see His Majesty if you go there at this time! Why are those old men from the Imperial Hospital so ignorant of priorities!" The Queen's face was full of anger. As she was speaking, she heard a sound coming from outside.
Sing harmony: "Your Majesty has arrived."
The queen's expression twisted, with a bit of disbelief flashing in her eyes. She turned her head to look at the door in a daze, her hand holding the brocade handkerchief trembling slightly. She turned back to look at Concubine Xiang's stunning face, and then
He fell silent. Does Your Majesty actually care about this woman so much?
The queen's throat felt a little tight, and she swallowed her saliva after a long while. Footsteps were heard from the outer hall, and the queen bit her lip and turned around again.
The bead curtain was suddenly lifted up, and Xia Huanyu walked in quickly from the outside. The queen quickly saluted, but she saw that Xia Huanyu didn't seem to see her at all. As soon as she entered the palace, she walked quickly to the soft cave with a fixed gaze.
Looking at the woman on the soft couch.
Before the queen could recover, she saw Xia Huanyu leaning down, picking up the woman on the soft couch, walking straight to the bed, and then put her down.
The queen suddenly grasped the brocade handkerchief in her hand, feeling as if someone had strangled her neck. It was her bed, a phoenix-carved bed that belonged to the queen. Now, there were other women lying on her bed.
Her husband carried her up with his own hands.
"Imperial physician!" Xia Huanyu's voice was extremely cold.
The imperial doctor who was following Xia Huanyu responded quickly, rushed to the bed and put a silk handkerchief on Ning Qian's hand before carefully taking her pulse.
After a long while, the imperial doctor quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiang, Concubine Xiang has had a fetal movement. Now the fetus in her belly is very dangerous. I'm afraid it will be difficult to save it."
"I'll do my best to keep it! Otherwise, I'll see you in person." Xia Huanyu's voice became a little colder.
The imperial doctor kowtowed slightly tremblingly and responded: "Yes, yes, I will obey your orders."
The imperial doctor carefully checked Concubine Xiang's pulse again. Xia Huanyu then turned his head and looked at the queen standing aside. He frowned lightly with uncontrollable anger in his eyes: "Queen, go out with me and have a good time."
Explain why Concubine Xiang fainted in your palace. Everyone else went out, Liu Wen'an, leaving two maids to serve in the inner palace." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and walked out of the inner palace door.
Only then did the queen realize that Xia Huanyu, who was always followed only by the chamberlain, actually brought two palace maids with him for the first time.
Qian Xin quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiang has always been taken care of by slaves. I beg Your Majesty to let your slaves serve you in the inner hall."
Xia Huanyu didn't have the patience to listen to her, so he said coldly: "Back off."
Feeling helpless, Qianxin had no choice but to retreat.
No one saw Ning Qian on the bed, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
"Kneel down." Xia Huanyu sat on the throne and said coldly.
When the Queen heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then a bitter smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she knelt down slowly: "I didn't expect that Your Majesty would be so indifferent to right from wrong. There is no evidence, and he didn't even ask.
Then he got angry at my concubine."
Xia Huanyu's eyes were full of coldness: "Evidence? The queen has stayed in the harem for so many years, so she knows how to destroy evidence. From the time the queen entered the palace to now, there have been many pregnant concubines, and not many have been able to give birth.
If a prince is born, there will be even fewer who can raise him. Why is this? I think about it, the queen knows it very well."
The Queen trembled, with a bit of disbelief in her eyes: "Does Your Majesty treat my concubine like this?"
Xia Huanyu didn't speak, and a sneer escaped from the corner of the queen's mouth. After a while, she suddenly burst into laughter: "Your Majesty really thinks highly of me, do you think I am the one who did all this?"
"Why did Concubine Xiang come to Weiyang Palace?" Xia Huanyu asked calmly.
The Queen pursed her lips: "The Spring Equinox is about to come, and we need to prepare for sacrifices. Concubine Xiang has not prepared anything before, and she doesn't understand many things, so I came to ask."
"Then why did Concubine Xiang faint?" Xia Huanyu's eyes were still pale.
"I don't know. After Concubine Xiang asked about the matter, I entered the inner hall. Your Majesty said that I was not feeling well, so I shouldn't stay with Concubine Xiang for too long. After I entered the inner hall, Concubine Xiang
He was about to leave, but he fainted when he reached the entrance of the palace." The queen's voice was also very soft, and her face was stiff.
Xia Huanyu kept looking at the queen steadily, "Concubine Xiang has always been in good health. The imperial doctors said before that the fetus in her belly was very stable. Why did she suddenly faint?"
The Queen laughed quietly: "Your Majesty, this question is a bit strange. Shouldn't I ask the imperial doctor?"
Xia Huanyu glanced at the Queen, curled his lips, gently turned the jade ring in his hand, and said no more.
The hall became a little quiet for a while, and only the green smoke of incense seemed to be rising.
Xia Huanyu turned his eyes away from the queen, his eyes fell on the incense, and then he asked lightly: "What kind of incense is in your palace?"
The Queen was a little confused: "Storaxianum."
When Xia Huanyu heard this, he frowned: "Shuya Palace occasionally smokes styrax. Why do you think the smell of styrax is stronger?"
A hint of darkness flashed in the Queen's eyes, and she clenched her hands suddenly. After a long while, she said calmly: "I'm afraid your Majesty won't be able to ask this concubine. The incense in my concubine's palace is all distributed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and then sent here.
"
"Liu Wen'an." Xia Huanyu called in a deep voice.
Liu Wen'an quickly stepped forward and responded: "Your Majesty."
"Go get some incense from the incense burner and let people see if there is anything wrong with the incense." Xia Huanyu's voice was still light, but it made the queen's heart suddenly tighten.
After pondering for a moment, the queen snorted coldly again: "I have been using this incense. If there is anything wrong, how can I kneel down here and talk to His Majesty safely?"
"You didn't react when you smelled it, but it doesn't mean that nothing happened to others." Xia Huanyu didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he just lowered his head quietly and looked at the jade ring on his thumb.
After a long while, the bead curtain was opened. The imperial doctor's face was a little pale. He quickly walked to Xia Huanyu and knelt down. He said softly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have tried my best. The fetus in the belly of Concubine Xiang is still unbearable."
Couldn’t keep it.”
A maid in the palace brought out several basins of blood and hurriedly left the palace.
There were faint veins popping up on Xia Huanyu's forehead. After a long while, he slammed the table, raised his foot and kicked the imperial doctor who was kneeling in front of him. The imperial doctor was kicked and fell to the ground, with a look of pain on his face:
"Someone, pull this quack doctor down."
The guards outside hurriedly entered the hall, pulled the imperial doctor from left to right and left the main hall.
Xia Huanyu stood up, opened the bead curtain and entered the inner hall. Everyone else in the inner hall had already left. There was still a faint smell of blood in the hall. Ning Qian was lying on the bed, her face still very pale, but already
When I woke up, I seemed to be in a daze.
Xia Huanyu walked to the bed and sat down. The two of them remained silent. After a long while, Xia Huanyu slowly spoke: "The child is gone."
Ning Qian turned her head and looked at Xia Huanyu, her eyes calm and calm. After a while, she opened her mouth and said, "Why?"
Xia Huanyu did not answer her question, but said calmly: "You are still young, and you will have children in the future."
Ning Qian just smiled softly, but her voice was a bit calm, "Your Majesty, I have been awake just now."
When Xia Huanyu heard this, he paused and a murderous intent suddenly flashed in his eyes. Then, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Ning Qian: "Concubine Xiang, do you know what you are talking about?"
Ning Qian also raised her head and looked at Xia Huanyu steadily: "Your Majesty must have heard very clearly that I have been awake just now. Why do you want to send me to the cold palace?"
Xia Huanyu's expression changed for a long time before he said coldly: "I don't like smart people."
Ning Qian lowered her head, curled up the corners of her mouth, and said with a bit of a smile: "I don't like to be smart. I just want to ask Your Majesty, why?" (To be continued)
