Chapter 49: Concubine Shi He’s Difficulties

Chapter 49 Concubine Shi He's Difficulties Concubine Ma Yin, Guiren Wang, and Guiren Tong felt really bad when they saw Concubine Xi Xian and Concubine Wu Cui's stomachs growling in pain.

And this Concubine Shi He was very nervous and scared in her palace. However, she knew that she had done nothing wrong, so she was not afraid of ghosts knocking on her door.

They found that there was incense in Shi Hefei's butterfly lantern and Liufang painting screen, so they asked Shi Hefei for questioning. Shi Hefei said that although the gift she gave did contain fragrance, it was not poisonous at all.

Soon, they discovered that Concubine Xi Xian's labor pains passed quickly and she gave birth to a girl. Wu Cuifei was in great pain all the time and did not get better until late at night.

Reluctantly, the emperor sent someone over, and he said that he had been poisoned. Therefore, the emperor immediately ordered that Concubine Wu Cui and her child must survive.

Soon, after several hours of hard work, Wu Cuifei and her child were rescued, a boy.

Concubine Shi He was also found out. There was no poison in her butterfly lantern and Liufang painting screen. In fact, Concubine Ma Yin, Concubine Xi Xian, and Concubine Wu Cui originally had no personal grudges against her.

Now, they only have slight doubts about her, three slightly different doubts.

Concubine Ma Yin suspected that she was hiding something, Concubine Xi Xian suspected that she was deliberately driving a wedge between them, and Concubine Wu Cui suspected that she had ulterior motives and was the one who most wanted to rise to power.
