Zhaohua Palace.
The personal maid put another layer of makeup on Concubine Xian to cover her pale face.
"The weather is very cold. What should I do if my Majesty goes out and gets frozen? Why don't I go to Fengyi Palace and report it, saying that my Majesty has contracted the cold and won't go there today." She really felt sorry for her, and this pregnancy could kill someone. Generally speaking, since the birth of this child, Concubine Xian's face has become visibly haggard.
Concubine Xian threw the hairpin to the ground with a clang, "What do you know!" No matter how cold the weather was, could her heart be as cold as hers?
The palace maid knelt on the ground with a panicked look on her face, "I'm sorry, my dear, but I can't speak."
Concubine Xian closed her eyes and put her hand on her stomach. After this movement, she felt a throbbing pain in her stomach.
She suppressed the pain and said, "Get up and put some more rouge on me to make my face look rosy."
The palace maid stood up tremblingly and continued to apply makeup on her, becoming more and more careful with her hands. The empress's temper had been getting worse and worse in the past half a month.
Fengyi Palace.
The queen looked at Concubine Xian's exquisite makeup and felt something was wrong. It had been half a month since Concubine Li and the others took action.
But Concubine Xian's fetus was still safe, and the Zhaohua Palace was becoming more and more meticulous, so that the concubines tried repeatedly but failed. She thought she had no chance, but today's fierce look made her secretly frightened.
How could she not know how much Concubine Rong was looking forward to this child? When she first found out she was pregnant, she immediately closed her womb and refused to leave. It could be said that she would not touch anything that was not good for the child. Yet now she was wearing makeup?
She instinctively felt that something was wrong, and she could not let Concubine Xian come to her place again in the future.
The queen was about to speak, but Concubine Li was the first to speak. She looked at Concubine Xian's belly thoughtfully, "Concubine Xian was the most punctual in the past, but now she is pregnant and she doesn't take the queen seriously." I'm here, I dare to be late even to say hello."
Concubine Rong didn't want to let her go either. She tried several times but failed. She felt aggrieved but didn't dare to act rashly anymore. She could only take advantage verbally.
"Isn't that right? I heard that Concubine Xian has been very bad-tempered recently and has been tormenting the eunuchs and maids in various ways. She is not worthy of this title."
Somehow she felt a fire in her heart, and she became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke. Concubine Pian Xian was not as careless as usual. As the argument continued, the two of them even got into a fight, but no one noticed. The one who started the trouble at first Libi was already far away from them.
"ah!"
With a cry of surprise, Concubine Xian fell out. Qingqiu's eyes lit up and he immediately went up to stabilize her, but it seemed that she was too weak to hold her back and was even pulled to the ground by Concubine Xian.
"Stomach, my stomach hurts so much..."
The queen was startled and quickly ordered someone to call the imperial doctor. Just as she was about to ask someone to help the concubine Xian into the side hall, Shen Chang was in trouble again there.
"It hurts, it hurts so much..."
Everyone was shocked when they saw a pool of blood under her body. Shen Changzai actually had it too?
It's less than a month, right? Everyone looked at each other.
The queen was shocked. Two children were suddenly lost in Fengyi Palace. How could she explain this to the emperor?
"Quickly, help Concubine Xian and Shen Changzai into the side hall."
As everyone went to the side hall, Concubine Rong finally calmed down. Looking at the two blood stains on the ground, her face was horrified. In public, she actually pushed Concubine Xian, causing the two children to miscarry. She collapsed to the ground, it was over... …
"Mr. Gao, can the fetus of Concubine Xian and Shen Changzai be saved?" The queen looked a little anxious. She had allowed Li and the others to attack Concubine Xian, but whether the fetus could be born or not would not have much impact on her. Now the fetus is It’s gone, but it’s all a mess for nothing.
Dr. Gao was sweating profusely, and he knelt down on the ground with a groan, "This... veteran minister is useless. The fetus between Concubine Xian and Shen Changzai can no longer be saved."
Concubine Li glanced at Qingqiu. She remembered that Shen Changzai had been sleeping with her for about a month. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Concubine Xian and Shen Changzai, don't be too sad. There will always be children in the future, especially... Shen Chang is pregnant in less than a month, which shows that she is blessed with many children."
For a moment, no one dared to speak. Who dared to answer the question of the emperor?
Qingqiu continued to pretend to be asleep, and someone would clarify it for her anyway.
The imperial doctor wiped away the cold sweat, Li Concubine was too courageous, she really dared to say anything.
"Back to Concubine Li, Shen Chang Zai's month is small, not yet full moon according to the day, and what the concubine said does make some sense." Enthronement does not mean having more children and bringing blessings.
The queen looked at the sleeping person lying on the bed. If it hadn't been for this accident, she would have never expected that Shen Changzai was pregnant. But... why did she disappear in Fengyi Palace? She glanced at Libi, and she realized that success was not enough to make trouble. Something to spare.
"The Emperor has arrived."
The emperor rushed over after receiving the news. The two children were gone, which made him feel angry.
"what happened?"
Everyone did not dare to say anything when they heard his angry voice.
The queen glanced at Concubine Rong who was trembling behind her, knowing that she was afraid that she would fall out of favor, so that was fine. Since she gave birth to the eldest prince, she had become more and more worried.
She explained the matter clearly without adding any personal emotions. This matter must not have anything to do with herself.
"Absurd!" The two concubines fought like shrews, and the etiquette they were proud of was learned from the dog's belly.
At this moment Concubine Xian woke up and she said in a panic, "How is my child?
The queen sighed, "My sister is still young, and she will have children in the future."
Concubine Xian burst into tears instantly. The child had been in her belly for nearly three months. Even though she later knew that she could not save it, her expectations for it were not false. How could she not be sad now that she was gone.
She cried bitterly. She didn't know why she was crying. It was for the life that she could see coming to an end at a glance, or for the child she had abandoned with her own hands. It was obvious that as long as she didn't do anything, it could still stay in her belly for half a month.
My child, don’t blame your mother. It was Concubine Rong who harmed you. If she hadn’t caused you to be unable to be born, your mother would not have plotted against her like this.
"Your Majesty, it was Concubine Rong who pushed me. If she hadn't attacked me first, I wouldn't have done it... Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for our child!"
The emperor watched his concubine crying heartbrokenly and sighed. He knew that she had become more tempered after pregnancy, but the imperial doctor also said that it was normal for pregnant women to have some changes in their temperament. Even he himself never thought that she would cause trouble. Like this.
Forget it, Concubine Xian just lost her child, why bother venting her anger on her? Although he thought so, he knew that he was dissatisfied with her after all. Concubine Xian ignored the emperor's heir and fought with others, and even caused Shen Changzai to have a miscarriage. He couldn't help it. Be indifferent.
He looked at Concubine Rong, who was trembling all over, with cold eyes. Was it she who had harmed his two sons?
Concubine Rong was frightened by his eyes and knelt down on the ground. She thought about what she didn't understand about her abnormality at that time. She was afraid that someone had plotted against her!
"My concubine was drugged. It was not me who harmed my concubine, Your Majesty!"
