In the palace and the Queen Mother's Hall, even though a night had passed, the atmosphere was still tense and low.
The two maids carefully supported the Queen Mother. The maid in front knelt down to feed her. After only taking a few mouthfuls, the Queen Mother waved her hand and stopped eating.
"Your Majesty, I haven't eaten since lunch yesterday. I can't stop eating." The maids cried and advised.
"I can't eat. Where can I eat?" the Queen Mother said with tears.
While the maids were persuading, the queen came over.
"Where is the emperor?" the Queen Mother asked, holding her hand.
"Don't worry, Madam. I didn't sleep last night, but I spent the whole night talking to my concubine, and I feel in a good mood." The queen said, taking the soup bowl from the maid's hand, "I just went to see Concubine An."
"Go, go." The Queen Mother said with tears, "The emperor left just like that yesterday. Concubine An cried so hard that her heart was knotted. Just go, just go. The Aijia will know that the emperor is not
A ruthless one."
"Your Majesty, the emperor is the most kind-hearted. Don't you know that he hid precisely because he was kind-hearted and couldn't bear it and didn't want us to see him?" the queen said.
The Queen Mother shed tears and nodded repeatedly.
"You still know him." She said, her eyes falling on the queen.
The queen was already a middle-aged lady, but she had been ill for many years and had no one to take care of her. She now looked thin and small, and her already pale face looked even more haggard after a long night of suffering.
"Jingrong." She cried with tears and stretched out her hand to hold the queen, "You are feeling better, but you have encountered so many things. How can your body endure it?"
The Queen smiled slightly and brought the spoon to the Queen Mother's mouth.
"So, my dear, you need to eat quickly to cheer up," she said.
With the Queen's comfort, the Queen Mother soon recovered. When the Emperor came over in the afternoon, she was able to take pictures of the Emperor.
"You asked someone to lock her up? Why did you lock her up?"
The Queen Mother shouted angrily.
"This is an accident. So many people are here to see it. What are you doing!"
The emperor remained silent and looked aside when he heard this.
"Who was there? What did they see?" he asked suddenly.
As soon as these words came out, the palace was quiet for a moment, and two chamberlains stood up hesitantly.
"It's us. The Queen Mother specially asked us to send Concubine An back," they said.
"Then what did you see?" the emperor asked.
The two chamberlains became even more timid and couldn't help but look up at the Queen Mother.
"Speak quickly! Just tell me if you have anything to say..." the Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and shouted.
The emperor looked at the queen mother.
"Empress, do you want them to say what you want to hear or what they see?" he interrupted the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was startled and then became furious.
"Emperor, your words are really heartbreaking..." she shouted.
Before she finished speaking, the Queen, who had been sitting quietly next to the Queen Mother, raised her hand to cover her mouth as if she was about to cough lightly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The two chamberlains suddenly knelt down and shouted loudly, interrupting the Queen Mother's words, "The servants saw that the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine An were fine at first, but then they seemed to be arguing when they went down the steps.
She stood up, and then the imperial concubine pushed the imperial concubine An."
The Queen Mother looked horrified as soon as this was said.
"Nonsense!" She didn't care to question the emperor anymore, stood up and pointed at the two chamberlains, "Bold and bold."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your servants don't dare to talk nonsense." The two servants kowtowed and said, "My slaves don't dare to say that I don't dare to talk nonsense."
The Queen Mother turned pale, rolled her eyes and fell down.
There was a scream in the hall.
The Imperial Hospital, which had been busy all day and night, was in a rush again. Seeing several imperial doctors leaving in a hurry, Imperial Doctor Li, who had just returned from Concubine An's palace, hurriedly got out of the way.
"Is the Queen Mother okay?"
"It's okay. I'm just anxious and anxious. I'm just flustered."
"Isn't it too late to rush now?"
"It's not the little prince's business, it's the noble concubine's business."
The doctors dispersed in low voices.
Doctor Li stood in the corridor and walked to a side room. When he opened the door, there was a doctor standing inside. He turned around as if he was frightened. When he saw it was Doctor Li, he smiled and regained his composure.
"Master Li, is Concubine An's pulse OK?" he asked.
Doctor Li stepped indoors.
"Mr. Wu, you know best what the pulse condition of Concubine An is." He said, speaking slowly and somewhat meaningfully.
Master Wu smiled.
"That's good, that's good, I'll be relieved." He said.
Doctor Li looked at him for a moment.
"Master Wu," he said.
Doctor Wu raised his head, looked at him and smiled.
"What are your orders, Mr. Li?" he asked.
Doctor Li looked at him.
"Aren't you covering up at all?" he asked.
Doctor Wu looked at him and was stunned for a moment, then followed Doctor Li's line of sight and saw a corner of blood exposed in the medicine box lying aside.
He smiled and stretched out his hand to stuff the corner cloth inside.
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for reminding me." He said, looking at Dr. Li, "Some people are right. Mr. Li is indeed one of our own."
Doctor Li looked at him with a complicated expression.
His eyes fell on Imperial Physician Wu's medicine box. It looked like all the imperial physician's medicine boxes, but if you look closely, it was thicker and wider...
"I didn't expect that the Wu family in Weicheng would still have a stillborn baby," he said slowly.
In response to what Dr. Li said, there was nothing strange about Dr. Wu's face, and he was still smiling.
"It's a small skill, but it won't work if it doesn't make it to the table." He smiled, wiping his hands and picking up the medicine box, "Master Li, please rest for a while, I'll take my leave first.
He lowered his voice when he said this.
"I still need to deal with it..."
He said and patted the medicine box specially.
"Wu Xun!" Dr. Li looked a little excited. He raised his hand to grab Dr. Wu who was trying to pass by him, and lowered his voice, "Is there anyone really so sure that I won't tell anyone?"
Say it.
It was revealed that what Concubine An was carrying was not a prince at all, and was even a stillbirth.
Speaking of which, the so-called complete stillbirth delivered yesterday was just brought in by Dr. Wu and the doctor's wife from outside.
It is said that the real stillbirth is just a piece of flesh and blood, which is currently in the mezzanine of Dr. Wu's medicine box.
Say it!
Doctor Wu still looked calm and looked at him with a slight smile.
"Why would Mr. Li tell anyone? Mr. Li will not harm anyone." He also lowered his voice and said.
If you tell me, how many people will die from this?
So what's the difference between him and those people?
Doctor Li gradually let go of his hand.
Doctor Wu smiled and saluted again, and then stopped when he was about to take a step forward.
"Actually, Mr. Li, do you know? Sometimes it is harmful to others if it does not harm others." He lowered his voice and said, looking at Dr. Li, "Master Li, think about the prince who is still taking medicine, think about it... 2
Prince…”
Doctor Li looked at him and lowered his hands slumped.
Yeah?
Did he turn out to be an accomplice?
…………………………………………………….
"...Your Majesty, I have to say that this is Your Majesty's fault..."
"...Your Majesty, Concubine An's child is gone, and the Queen Mother will be no less sad than you..."
"...Your Majesty, how can you say such things about the Queen Mother!"
Intermittent sounds came through the curtains, gradually bringing the Queen Mother's chaotic thoughts back. When a low female voice mixed with coughing began to cry, the Queen Mother let out a long breath.
"Tell the queen to stop crying and ask them to come in," she said.
The curtain was opened, and the queen came in quickly, knelt down and wiped her tears. The emperor took a step behind, looked at the queen mother on the couch, lifted her clothes and knelt down.
"The child is guilty," he said.
"You are not guilty, and no one is guilty," the Queen Mother said, struggling to get up.
The queen hurriedly helped her with her own hands.
"Emperor, Aijia understands the pain in your heart..."
The emperor leaned over and saluted and called out the initial consonant, his voice a bit hoarse.
"Your Majesty, this is all an accident, it's an accident." The Queen Mother said with tears, "How could Lady Lotus do such a thing? She is not crazy! What's more... her current status is the most unreasonable!
"
"Your Majesty, I think so too. That's why I have to check and ask. I want everyone to know that this is an accident." The emperor raised his head and said.
His voice was softer, but his expression did not give in at all.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes, covered her face with her hands and shed tears.
"How could it be like this... How could it be like this..."
She said, thinking about something for a moment, all of this only happened after King Jin'an left the palace...
"Just say that Wei Lang should not be allowed to leave the palace. With him here, there would be no such accident. You all insisted on letting him go..."
These words made the emperor's eyes darken slightly.
"Empress, it wasn't you or me who had to let Wei Lang out." He sat upright and said slowly.
Not you and me?
Yes, yes, she definitely didn't want to anyway, it was Wei Lang who came to beg and make trouble, and the imperial concubine Chang...
The Queen Mother's voice stopped suddenly.
No, that's not right, you can't think like that! You can't think like that! It's wrong to think like that. This is a coincidence, this is an accident.
Oh my God, I can’t think like that!
"Your Majesty, this is an accident! You can't suspect your neighbor of stealing an axe!"
………………………………
"This is not an accident!"
The imperial concubine threw out a porcelain bottle in front of her. This was the only thing that could be broken in front of her, and the others were already broken on the ground.
"This is a deliberate attempt to frame me!"
There was nothing to smash, so she just walked back and forth. Like everyone else in the palace, the imperial concubine naturally didn't sleep all night. Her makeup from yesterday had faded away, and she looked extremely ugly with the emotions of anger, shock, hatred, etc.
"Concubine An is so cruel."
She pointed outside and raised her voice.
"Concubine An is so willing!"
Speaking of which, I was out of breath.
How willing! Concubine An is crazy! That’s a dragon! How is this possible!
Thinking of this, she rushed out the door again.
"Mother, you can't go out." The servants outside the door shouted and blocked the door tightly.
The maids and maids inside also followed and cried to persuade him to stop.
"I need to shut down this palace! I need to investigate this palace!"
The imperial concubine shouted in a hissing voice, not out of sadness or fear, but out of anger.
"Who would believe such a ridiculous trick? It's only aimed at others, but against me! It's so ridiculous! Who would believe it! How can your Majesty believe it!"
It's so ridiculous! It's so ridiculous!
She actually said that I harmed her child! She actually framed me for harming the prince!
This is absolutely infuriating!
Yes, she planned to kill her, she had her own thoughts, and she cursed Concubine An every day and night that the child was gone, but she hadn't done anything yet! As a result, Concubine An, a little bitch, actually framed her!
This little bitch! Little bitch!
"I want to see the Queen Mother!" The imperial concubine shouted again, "The people on the Queen Mother's side saw it with their own eyes. It was Concubine An, that bitch, who threw it on purpose!"
"My queen, I can't see you." The maids on the side said tremblingly.
The imperial concubine pouted.
"Idiot and trash, if I can't get out, then there's no one else who can get out?" she shouted.
"No, Madam." One of the chamberlains raised his head and said in panic, "Some of us can go out, and some from outside can go, but we can't get in from the Queen Mother's Palace."
The imperial concubine was stunned for a moment and then stopped laughing.
"What? Could it be that the Queen Mother also harmed Concubine An?" she said with a mocking smile.
"No, the Queen Mother is too sad and is in poor health. The Queen Mother personally accompanies her and orders not to disturb the Queen Mother's health. All matters in the harem are decided by her," the chamberlain said in a trembling voice.
Queen!
The imperial concubine looked at the chambermaid in disbelief.
Queen!
It’s really unbelievable. In more than 20 years, this palace has never heard of the saying that the queen decides all matters in the harem!
It's so ridiculous, so ridiculous.
The queen decides?
That sick queen who is dying seven or eight times a year!
Something isn't right...
The imperial concubine shook her head and took a few steps back in a daze.
Something's not right, something's not right.
The expression of a waiter on the side also changed at this time.
Queen!
He thought of all the things in the past, the queen's health suddenly recovered, but so what? Could it be that the queen's health had recovered and she could raise the little prince again, so could she threaten Prince Ping?
This is absolutely impossible.
There is too much uncertainty about a woolly doll, and the emperor will not know how to serve as courtiers and will not entrust the prince to him, even if it is raised by the queen.
So at that time, he didn't think it had anything to do with the queen's recovery. Instead, he felt that the queen walking around the palace like this was a reflection of the past, a grasshopper after autumn...
Wrong, wrong, the queen's recovery will not pose any threat to Prince Ping.
It turns out that maybe the person she wanted to threaten was the imperial concubine!
Her target is the imperial concubine!
It’s the imperial concubine!
