The next night, the night was blurry and drizzle fell sideways.
Su Wenhua wore a dark brown cloak and visited Yuzhang Palace with four maids.
When the guard guarding the door asked, she said, "I'm here to visit Aunt Shen. I made an appointment earlier."
The guards knew that Su Wenhua was from the East Palace, so they let her into the side hall without much difficulty in interrogating her.
However, the side hall was dark and no lights were lit.
Su Wenhua was puzzled: "Didn't I agree with my cousin to wait for me here at this hour? Why isn't she here?"
She led the palace maid forward and was about to knock on the door when she heard a "dong" sound coming from inside, as if someone had knocked down a chair.
Su Wenhua frowned: "Cousin?"
No one in the room responded.
Seeing the situation, the palace maid behind her said: "Mr. Su, why don't you open the door and go in to take a look? If Aunt Shen falls down and faints, we can also call the imperial doctor."
Su Wenhua nodded. Since she was here today, she didn't plan to go back easily.
That palace maid named Qing He must be caught by her!
Su Wenhua pushed the door open in one fell swoop. The room was dark. He glanced around and found that there was not even a single person there.
The fragrant breeze that filled the room followed the melodious raindrops, and Su Wenhua stepped in suspiciously.
"Cousin?" Is it true that she is not in the palace?
However, just as she was about to turn around and leave, she saw a pair of feet wearing red shoes in the corner of the inner hall, near the window curtain!
The pale socks, with their blood-red color, immediately caught Su Wenhua's sight.
She looked up and saw an eye staring at her from the gap in the half-open curtain.
"Ah——!" Su Wenhua's frightened scream pierced the roof, and he fell to the ground, "There's a ghost!"
The little maids surrounding Su Wenhua were all panicked. They followed Su Wenhua's line of sight and saw a figure moving behind the curtains.
They screamed and quickly called the guards outside.
Su Wenhua felt that she was so frightened that her stomach hurt unbearably. When the guards rushed in, she clutched her stomach and staggered to her feet: "Hurry and catch this ghost!"
However, the guard pulled twice behind the window curtain and pulled out a palace maid.
The man was wearing a fiery red dress. He fell to the ground due to the pull of the guards and let out a cry of pain.
Su Wenhua took a closer look and saw that the palace maid's delicate face and the shadow reflected by the fire were clearly human instead of ghosts!
"Who are you? Why are you hiding here?" Su Wenhua was in shock.
She looked at it twice and felt that the clothes on the palace maid in front of her looked familiar.
After a moment, Su Wenhua recognized him.
Isn't this the scarlet and pearl satin brocade dress that she has always loved!
The color is so bright and bright, it must be the new one made for her by the embroidery department, but how could it be on a palace maid?
At this time, Shen Bi came back with two pieces of clothing and was surprised to see so many people gathered in the side hall.
When she saw the person lying on the ground, Shen Bi was surprised: "Qinghe? Why are you in the master's palace?"
Qinghe hurriedly got up, ignoring the pain on his body, and said, "Aunt Shen asked me to wait for her here."
Shen Bi frowned: "How is it possible? The master went out in the afternoon and never came back. When did she give you the order?"
Qinghe hesitated and couldn't say anything, but Su Wenhua had already guessed the cause and effect of the matter.
She pointed at Qing He, her almond-shaped eyes filled with annoyance: "You bitch, sneak into your cousin's room and wear her clothes?"
Qinghe quickly shook his head: "No, I don't have this slave, it's Aunt Shen..."
However, before Qing He could finish her words, Shen Bi had already taken the lead to interrupt her.
"It's you again, Qinghe, what do you want to do! Last time you took advantage of the prince's drunkenness to pretend to be our aunt and crawl into bed. This time you are even more courageous, breaking into the palace to steal my aunt's clothes!"
Su Wenhua's almond-shaped eyes widened, her fair face flushed with anger, and she clutched her lower abdomen, which was gradually becoming more painful.
"It turned out to be a bitch who wanted to climb into bed, but you are so blind that you didn't even look at who this dress was for." Su Wenhua rushed forward and slapped Qing He in the face. superior.
Qinghe screamed, and the next second, Su Wenhua tore off her dress: "Take it off for me!"
Her slender and sharp nails scratched Qinghe's eyelids, causing her to hurriedly stretch out her hands to resist the pain.
But he didn't expect that in such a moment of struggling back and forth, he would accidentally push Su Wenhua down.
"Ah!" Su Wenhua screamed, his face suddenly turned as pale as paper, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
But the little maids she brought with her were quite frightened.
"Ms. Su, what's wrong with you?"
"Stomach...my stomach hurts so much!" Su Wenhua kept hissing, and his face became increasingly pale.
When the guards saw that the situation was not good, they immediately went to notify the imperial doctor. Su Wenhua was sent back to the East Palace, while Qinghe was temporarily under the supervision of the guards.
Half an hour later.
The Queen and Prince Xiao Xuanke rushed to the East Palace at the same time to inquire about the situation.
This time, Dr. Cen was not on duty at the hospital. Instead, Dr. Zhang came. He had already checked his pulse and prescribed medicine, and happened to come out of the room.
The queen was worried about the emperor's eldest grandson in Su Wenhua's belly, and immediately asked the eldest maid to lead the imperial doctor Zhang to the side hall for questioning.
"How's your pulse?"
Seeing the empress personally interfering with the matter, Doctor Zhang had already guessed that the child in Su's pregnancy was Xiao Xuanke's son.
So, he handed over his hand and answered honestly: "To the Queen, Miss Su's pulse is weak, which has damaged the root of the Yuan Fei, and she was also frightened, so she is in very danger."
"But fortunately, I kept applying acupuncture to protect the fetus, and smoked mugwort, and finally the fetus was saved. But next, I have to take a good rest."
The queen called out to God for blessings in her heart, but her face remained dignified and steady: "That's good, please step aside first."
Doctor Zhang resigned, and the queen went directly to the room to see Su Wen's paintings. Taking advantage of this time, Xiao Xuanke directly caught up with Doctor Zhang.
"You said Su Wenhua is pregnant?" Xiao Xuanke asked with a cold black brow.
Doctor Zhang was puzzled for a moment that Lady Su was pregnant. Did His Highness the Crown Prince not know?
He nodded, cupped his hands and said, "It's just over a month old, so the fetus is not yet stable."
Xiao Xuanke was startled.
At first, in order to keep Su Wenhua, she had no choice but to give her a false pregnancy, but now, she is actually pregnant.
In the house, Su Wenhua already knew that she was really pregnant, so she felt more confident.
Facing the Queen's inquiry, she wiped away her tears and said, "Your Majesty, my stomach hurts so much. It was the maid named Qing He who pushed me."
Before the queen came, she had already asked the reason, and she was inevitably confused: "You are such a good person, why are you going to Yuzhang Palace?"
Su Wenhua's crying stopped suddenly. At this time, Xiao Xuanke also pushed the door open and came in. Su Wenhua quietly raised his eyes and glanced at him secretly, only to see Xiao Xuanke's face was dark.
She lowered her hand and said cautiously: "My daughter went to Yuzhang Palace to get back the scarlet pearl satin dress."
The queen frowned, feeling ridiculous!
Her stern and critical gaze swept over Su Wenhua's face, and finally landed on Xiao Xuanke next to her.
It doesn't matter how they mess around in private, but if a female official who has not yet married into the East Palace is allowed to wear a scarlet dress, no wonder Fu Yunqiu has some objections.
The queen looked at Su Wenhua again and said in a harsh tone: "It is really against the rules for you to fight with a palace maid over a piece of clothing."
"Besides, why do the maids of Yuzhang Palace have your clothes in their hands?"
This is complicated...
Su Wenhua's expression became more and more guilty, and the Queen even felt something was wrong and frowned.
She shouted sternly: "Say!"
Su Wenhua trembled with fright, and tears fell out again: "It's my cousin... No, His Highness Prince Ning's Aunt Shen told the minister. She said that the palace maid named Qinghe went to the Embroidery Department to get the embroidery that originally belonged to the minister. Women’s clothes.”
"Shen Dingzhu?" The queen's tone was slightly cold.
Why is it her again!
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xuanke finally spoke at this moment.
"This matter has nothing to do with Shen Dingzhu."
Su Wenhua felt that there seemed to be some protection in his tone, so he couldn't help but raise his almond-shaped eyes and looked at Xiao Xuanke doubtfully.
However, the queen was already angry.
"Last time, I didn't ask her to settle the matter with Yun Qiu. She even got worse, instigating others in the palace and playing tricks. This time, I won't let it go easily no matter what I say."
"Come here, go and find Shen Dingzhu for me. I want to interrogate her in person. How long will she continue to act so recklessly?"
However, when the palace people looked around, the entire Yuzhang Palace almost turned over.
Shen Dingzhu was nowhere to be found.
