When the two of them were stunned, Lin Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the palace maid in her tracks.
"There are no rules. Your skin is itchy, aren't you!" Lin Sheng frowned and waved his whisk, "Which palace are you from? You have blood on your clothes, and you dare to break into Yikun Palace!"
When the little palace maid saw Lin Sheng, her body softened and she knelt down, "Eunuch Lin, this servant is from Cuiwei Palace. Please help the queen, please save our little master!"
The little palace maid had tears in her eyes and kowtowed her head.
Lin Sheng frowned and waved his hand to send someone to send a message to the palace, "Don't be shy, please explain what it is first. There are many young masters in Cuiwei Palace. Which one are you with?"
"This servant is Xin Chang's personal palace maid Ping'er." The little palace maid burst into tears and her body was trembling. "My mistress, she is five months pregnant. The imperial doctor often tells her to walk more so that she will have strength before giving birth."
"The young master is very concerned about the dragon fetus. After breakfast, he went to the Imperial Garden. He was relaxing and wanted to feed the koi carp in the lake, but he unexpectedly bumped into His Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Lu..."
Before Ping'er finished speaking, Queen Zhu led Shu Jieyu out in a hurry.
"Slave, please pay homage to the Queen!" Ping'er's face turned even paler, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
"Go on, what happened to Xin Changzai?" Queen Zhu frowned and asked in a loud voice.
"Back to the Empress, the young master wanted to leave and make room for His Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Lu, but Miss Lu said something about how fat the carp was and how she wanted to grill one to satisfy her cravings."
Ping'er gritted her teeth and burst into tears, "The prince agreed to her. When the young master saw this, he reminded the two of them that the fish in the lake were not ordinary carps, but red-topped koi. Unexpectedly, Miss Lu started to cry, and the young master took one mouthful at a time. I hate her origins.”
As the words went on, the faces of everyone present became worse and worse.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt sorry for Miss Lu. Not only did he ask the young master to apologize, but he also ordered the young master to personally go to the lake to fish for Miss Lu. The young master refused, and the two sides had a dispute." Ping'er cried, his forehead turning red.
"His Royal Highness was so angry that he pushed the young master, and the young master fell backwards and fell down the steps. His skirt was covered with blood!" Ping'er suppressed her cry, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not allow the doctor to diagnose and treat the young master, slave. I have no choice but to come and beg the Queen!”
As soon as the words fell to the ground, Queen Zhu's body swayed and she almost fell down.
"Empress!" Shu Jieyu supported her with quick eyes and hands, with a worried look on her face, "You must remember your health..."
Sister Fang also wanted to express some words of comfort, but she didn't know what to say. She looked at each other and just stayed by her side silently.
Queen Zhu trembled her lower lip, gritted her teeth and said, "Go to Cuiwei Palace!"
Cuiwei Palace
Entering the palace courtyard, everyone happened to see a few people gathered around the door of the side hall. Inside, basin after basin of blood was being transported out, and the smell of blood filled the sky.
Seeing Empress Zhu and her party, Concubine Rong's eyes lit up as she stood in the courtyard, as if she had seen the savior, "Empress, you are finally here. Look at this..."
Concubine Rong opened her mouth, but did not dare to say it outright, "Xin Chang is bleeding. The prince has issued an order not to treat her. There is nothing I can do!"
Queen Zhu's face was pale and her tone was very cold, "I have brought the imperial doctor here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a little old man ran into the courtyard panting. He didn't even have time to breathe, so he was led to the side hall by Ping'er.
Empress Zhu smelled the pungent smell of blood and looked solemn, "Have you informed the emperor about this?"
"This..." Concubine Rong looked embarrassed and shook her head slowly, "Never."
Queen Zhu closed her eyes, feeling tired.
She knew why Concubine Rong didn't report it to the superior. She just felt that Yuan Yi was her own work and she couldn't judge.
"Go and invite the Emperor." Queen Zhu raised her hand to hold her forehead, her tone a little floating.
"Yes!" Lin Sheng didn't dare to delay, so he took the order and trotted out of the yard.
"Shu Jieyu, you stand here on behalf of me, and look at Xin Changzai with Concubine Rong." Queen Zhu sighed softly, and said in a deep voice, "A Lan, Xiao Xu, thank you for your hard work, you two go with me. trip."
Everyone present knew what Queen Zhu was going to do.
Queen Zhu led the Fang sisters, followed by a group of palace officials, to the Imperial Garden.
As soon as they arrived at Jingxin Lake, they saw the two of them cuddling together.
Queen Zhu was angry, raised her steps, and approached slowly.
Lu Tingting was the first to react, gently pushing Yuan Yi's shoulder, and stood up with a look of fear on her face, "The daughter of the people pays homage to the Queen!"
Yuan Yi's expression paused and he turned his head suspiciously. Seeing that it was Queen Zhu, he also stood up and said, "Mother, you..."
Hearing a crisp sound, Yuan Yi tilted his head, and there were five clear fingerprints on his face.
Yuan Yi covered his face, his eyes full of disbelief, "Mother, are you beating my son?"
"Beast!" Queen Zhu's chest heaved up and down, and she shouted loudly, "If you attack a weak and pregnant woman, are you still considered a human being?"
When Yuan Yi heard this, his face darkened, "I thought it was something. The reason why I did what I did was because Xin Chang was asking for it!"
"My son is a direct descendant of the middle palace and the crown prince of the current dynasty. She is just my father's concubine. She is disrespectful to the crown prince. How can I tolerate her?"
Yuan Yili was not straightforward and strong, his tone was high, and he did not realize that he had done something wrong.
"Crown Princess?" Queen Zhu looked at Lu Tingting, sneered, and said loudly, "I don't know when a Crown Princess was born in the Great Yan Dynasty!"
Yuan Yi frowned and said in a deep voice, "I searched around the capital, but the noble girl who didn't catch my eye is naturally Tingting."
Queen Zhu sneered, her eyes full of sarcasm, "As the prince, you attack your unborn brother because you think your position is too secure, right?"
Yuan Yi's face didn't change, and he didn't even have a trace of fear. "My son is the son of his mother. How can anyone do it?"
"Come here, take Lu Tingting into custody. If anything happens to the emperor's heir, I will make her suffer this miserable fate!" Queen Zhu ignored Yuan Yi and looked coldly at Lu Tingting.
"Mother!" Yuan Yi's eyes widened, and he moved to block in front of Lu Tingting, "This is the order from my son, how can you teach Tingting?"
Queen Zhu closed her eyes bitterly and said in a deep voice, "Don't do anything yet!"
Seeing the Queen's anger, the palace people swarmed forward, separated the two, twisted Lu Tingting's arm and brought her to Queen Zhu.
Lu Tingting's face was pale and her eyes were full of fear, "Queen, the daughter of the people didn't mean to be with Xin Chang. The daughter of the people didn't know that she was pregnant!"
Queen Zhu sneered, "Xin Changzai is five months pregnant and has already shown her pregnancy. You actually said you didn't know she was pregnant?"
Lu Tingting's head was in a mess. Seeing that the killing intent in Queen Zhu's eyes did not seem to be fake, she immediately cried, "Queen, please spare the daughter of the people!"
"Xin Changzai is in her prime, and there will be an heir!" Lu Tingting cried loudly, "She just lost a child, but a common girl was made fun of, lost all her dignity, and was looked down upon all her life. I can’t start anymore!”
