"Maybe it's a child-avoidant."
Cheng Ning's eyes were burning and she curled her lips into a smile, as if she was appreciating Ouyang Xi's pain, which made her happy.
Xiao Tao's eyes were about to burst: "What did you say? Anti-child medicine? How dare you, come here! Come here!"
There was no shortage of guards in Linhua Palace, but no one dared to step forward.
Because although Cheng Ning was smiling, the killing intent flashed through her body. At that moment, everyone felt like enemy soldiers, and maybe Cheng Ning also wanted to twist their heads off.
"Do you think His Majesty will not dare to punish Concubine Xi because she is pregnant? See clearly who is in charge of the harem now!"
"Who is in charge?" Cheng Ning asked, "Who is in charge?"
Ouyang Xi was tortured by pain, big drops of sweat fell from his forehead, and his fingertips trembled.
She didn't expect that Cheng Ning would really dare...she would dare to use poison on herself!
Xiao Tao didn't dare to look at Cheng Ning head on, so she grabbed the tea cup with her hands.
But a step too late, Cheng Ning raised his hand and the teacup fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
The splashed tea fell on his feet. Ouyang Xi winced and fell to the ground.
"Come here! Concubine Xi killed Concubine Shu and wants to destroy the evidence! Go and find your Majesty!"
Xiao Tao's screams filled the whole yard.
But Cheng Ning remained seated and glanced at Chunhua. Chunhua stepped forward and knocked Xiaotao to the ground with a slap!
"ah!"
The master and the servant both fell to the ground, one in panic and the other in pain.
At this time, Ouyang Xi had no doubt that the medicine in the cup of tea he drank might be highly poisonous.
She just didn't expect that Cheng Ning would use this move calmly!
"I don't like to beat around the bush," Hua Hua fell on Cheng Ning's shoulder, looking eagerly. Cheng Ning touched it and continued, "Is there anything you want to say to me?"
"S-What did you say?"
Ouyang Xi looked painful because of abdominal cramps, and a trace of blood flowed from his lips.
She scratched the ground, her nails drawing blood: "You've been wanting to do this for a long time, right? Are you waiting for me to come to the Hua Palace?"
It was just waiting, Cheng Ning did not deny it.
"I want to see if you will continue to pretend and use the child in my belly to get rid of Xie Qingyi. The amount of anti-child medicine in Melu, even if Xie Qingyi is extremely stupid, he would not dare to put in so much at one time. You have deceived Your Majesty, and you think I don’t care?”
Ouyang Xi smiled sadly: "You really know."
Once the skin is broken, there is nothing to hide, and everyone opens the skylight and speaks openly.
"But you..." She endured the pain for a while: "But don't you also know that there is something wrong with Meilu? I am just an outsider, but you are the biological mother of the child in your belly. In the end, it is not you who has to give up on him? "
"When did you become like this?" Cheng Ning asked suddenly: "When you first entered the palace, your aura was at its strongest and you didn't hide any harmful intentions."
This is really embarrassing.
Ouyang Xi could hardly hold back the pain. She clenched her hands tightly and it hurt everywhere.
Yeah, when?
Was it the beginning of the deep love for Wei Yanzhou that he kept seeing again and again?
I want to take it for myself, I want...the moon in the sky to shine on me.
"I didn't really want to harm you," Ouyang Xi shook his head desperately, tears falling down his cheeks: "But in this palace, everyone uses tricks. If you don't use tricks, you can't win any favor!"
Cheng Ning stood up, Huahua flapped her wings downwards, and howled at Ouyang Xi.
Condescending, this noble concubine is weak and pitiful.
"Then the dead people are not innocent? Can Tian Xing's life allow you to sleep peacefully at night?"
"Didn't she die because of you?" Ouyang Xi shouted sharply: "Would she have died if it weren't for you?!"
Tian Xing surrendered to Cheng Ning, but if Cheng Ning had not taken advantage of her, she would not have died at all!
So it's none of his business, it's Cheng Ning's fault.
This is how she always excused herself.
It was all Cheng Ning's fault. If she hadn't always been caring and loving Wei Yanzhou, the harem wouldn't be like this.
Cheng Ning nodded: "That's why I can't sleep, and I can't sleep with someone if I want to."
But she added: "But I won't kill you. This red flower will make you unable to conceive children in recent years. Take it as atonement. What will happen in the future depends on your fate."
She was talking about you, including Wei Yanzhou.
He didn't care if he would be angry and kill Cheng Ning when he found out. After all, Ouyang Xi was the person he cared about now.
But if you do something wrong, you have to pay it back. It's the same for herself, and it's the same for Ouyang Xi.
After hearing this, Xiao Tao rushed over desperately to beat Cheng Ning: "You are crazy, you are crazy! You are plotting against the imperial concubine!"
Huahua would never allow her to get close to Cheng Ning. The moment she got close, she scratched a bloody mark on her face.
"Don't come to Hua Palace anymore. Let's go."
Cheng Ning said this and let Chunhua help her into the house.
*
This matter spread throughout the palace within a short time.
However, the specific reason is vague. It is only known that Concubine Shu went to Linhua Palace and urgently summoned the imperial doctor.
He said that he had unbearable abdominal pain after drinking tea from Linhua Palace, and asked Concubine Xi to be scratched by the eagle.
After the imperial doctor left, it turned out that she had taken too much safflower, and it would be difficult to conceive an heir in the future.
No one had ever thought that Cheng Ning could be so cruel and ruthless as to attack a palace concubine with whom he had been friends.
Ouyang Xi managed the harem with some success, and everyone saw it and thought it was Concubine Xi who was jealous, so she resorted to some women's tricks.
In a short period of time, there were endless calls for crusade, and they all wrote letters demanding that Wei Yanzhou be severely punished and put an end to the dirty tricks in the harem.
A memorial was presented in one envelope, with unprecedented unity, all demanding that Cheng Ning be punished.
The Ouyang family was particularly angry. It was okay to use the emperor's heir as a means!
As a member of the royal family, who doesn't want to have the emperor's heir by his side? How could he bear it when Cheng Ning actually did such a cruel thing!
However, Wei Yanzhou never responded, and even refused to receive the courtiers throughout the day.
When the moon was at its peak, the entire palace fell into silence.
Cheng Ning was tired today and went to bed early, leaning on the bedside to read a local chronicle.
This is her new way of spending time these days. She doesn't tend to think about many things when she's immersed in local folk customs.
However, she didn't think much about it. There was a commotion outside Linhua Palace, and she didn't even look away.
At three o'clock in the morning, Chunhua came to urge her, took away her book, covered her with a quilt, and extinguished two lamps in the hall.
But when Kankan lay down, there was another movement outside.
It was Wang Xi who came, standing outside the door, and said in an urgent tone: "Your Majesty, if you disturb your Majesty late at night, I deserve death. I beg your Majesty to go to Chengqian Palace."
Cheng Ning wanted to pretend not to hear. She thought at least Wang Xi was here to offend her, but no.
It is self-evident who to meet at Chengqian Palace.
"Your Majesty," Wang Xi said more earnestly when he saw that she didn't respond, "Your Majesty locked himself in the palace and drank for half a day. How can he drink? If he keeps going like this, his body will suffer!"
