"Master!" Bai Lian cried out in alarm and quickly supported Liu Weirong.
Murong Che was shocked and immediately put down the elephant chopsticks in his hand. He was worried and angry. He scolded Little Li coldly,""What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call the imperial physician over!”
Little Li's heart trembled and he quickly left.
Xing 'er was shocked by the sudden accident and Murong Che's anger. She was stunned.
The room was still filled with the fragrance of the dishes, but at this moment, Xing 'er felt that this fragrance was like a death charm.
"Water, water, White Lotus, pour me a glass of water.”Liu Weirong gritted her teeth and endured the sharp pain in her abdomen. She grabbed White Lotus 'hand and pointed to the teapot not far away, asking White Lotus to pour her some water.
At this moment, she did not know whether to praise herself for her foresight or to smile bitterly. Before Murong Che arrived, the reapers had brought out a pot of undiluted spirit spring water from the space.
Bai Lian looked at her master, who was tottering on the verge of collapse. She couldn't get away at all. Just as she was about to ask Xing 'er to get some water, a slender hand reached out and supported Liu Weirong.
"I'll do it. Go get some water!" The low and slightly anxious voice sounded very timely in White Lotus 'ears.
She let go of her hand and hurriedly went to the side to pour some water.
Murong Che's handsome face was cold and gloomy, and the air around him was cold. He supported Liu Wei Rong and saw her curled up in her arms in pain. His heart tightened, and his deep voice became much gentler as he comforted her,""Don't be afraid, everything will be fine. The imperial physician will be here soon.”
Bai Lian had already poured a cup of spring water and placed it by Liu Weirong's lips." Master, the water is here."”
Liu Weirong endured the pain and drank a cup of spiritual spring water. Soon, the pain in her body disappeared by more than half, and her expression was not as painful anymore.
Curling up in Murong Che's arms, Liu Weirong felt extremely terrified. She did not care about her status and etiquette as she grabbed his sleeve and murmured in a trembling voice,"" Your Majesty, I had a nightmare this afternoon. I dreamt that the heir in my womb was gone. I, I just had a terrible pain in my stomach. Will the child…will he…wow, Your Majesty…" As she spoke, she started to cry. Her tears were about to fall.
"Don't be afraid, zhen is here. The child is fine, the imperial physician will be here soon.”Murong Che reached out and wiped away the tears that were about to fall from her face. Seeing her so frightened and uneasy, her eyes were full of tears, and his heart tightened.
His tense body showed his suppressed anger, and his eyes were cold. There was no problem with tonight's dinner, but something happened to Noble De.
It seemed that the news of Noble De's pregnancy had been exposed. Who leaked the news?
Seeing that Noble De did not seem to be in so much pain anymore, Murong Che immediately carried her and quickly left the main room. He turned into the inner hall on the other side and placed her on the couch.
Liu Weirong clutched her stomach. Her stomach was still throbbing, but she faintly felt something seeping out of her skin. She immediately understood and bit down. Her lips and fists were clenched tightly. It turned out that she had fallen for it.
The nightmare this afternoon was an omen. No, it was more like it was going to happen. If she didn't have the spring water and her body was weak, she would have miscarried by now.
She couldn't help but shiver at the thought of this.
She desperately shrank into Murong Che's embrace.
The palace's methods were really getting more and more strange. She had already been very careful to only eat the dishes that the Emperor had eaten tonight, but she still fell for it. Until now, she did not know what was going on, but her stomach started to hurt.
If it was someone else today, they would probably be affected as well. The emperor's food was tampered with, but the emperor was fine after eating it, but she almost had a miscarriage after eating it.
It was really impossible to guard against.
The imperial physician was quickly called over. The matter of Little Li hastily calling over the imperial physician was soon known by some of the concubines in the palace. The Empress also received the news.
It seemed like Noble De had fallen for it.
Narrowing his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile as he ordered his men to continue keeping an eye on Rou Fu Palace.
The person who came was the head of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, Imperial Physician Mo. As soon as he entered the inner hall, the sweating and panting imperial physician hurriedly knelt down."This lowly subject greets the Emperor."
"Get up and quickly diagnose Noble De.”Murong Che said with a bit of urgency, and immediately gave Liu Weirong a diagnosis.
The imperial physician looked at Noble De's protruding abdomen in shock. Noble De was pregnant and looked like she was already five or six months old. Why didn't the imperial physician record her pulse?
However, now was not the time to think about these things. Noble De's condition did not seem to be good, so he quickly pulled himself together to take her pulse.
Soon, he retracted his hand and replied respectfully,""Replying to the emperor, Noble De's fetus was affected and there were signs of miscarriage. Fortunately, the fetus was saved. This lowly official will prescribe a tocolopy medicine for Noble De later!”
Murong Che and Liu Weirong breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
It was probably because the spring water had fully taken effect that her stomach no longer hurt.
"Imperial Physician Mo, can you tell what caused Noble De's fetus to be affected?”Murong Che's handsome face turned cold when he thought about how he had almost lost a prince.
Imperial Physician Mo wiped the sweat on his forehead and thought for a moment before carefully answering,"Replying to the emperor, according to Noble De's pulse, she must have taken a medicine to induce labor, causing abdominal pain and almost miscarriage. Fortunately, Noble De is healthy and saved the fetus.”
"A drug to induce labor? How is that possible?”Liu Weirong cried out in alarm. With her little medical skills, she also knew that the medicine used to induce labor had a smell, but with her sharp senses, she did not smell anything wrong.
Not to mention the aroma of the dishes, she had eaten all the familiar dishes tonight. Her senses were sharp, but she didn't notice anything wrong.
"Your humble servant's diagnosis won't be wrong. As for what kind of medicine is used to induce labor, your humble servant needs to check.”
"Master's stomach hurts because he ate dinner tonight!”White Lotus replied.
"Emperor, can this lowly official check tonight's dinner?”Imperial Physician Mo asked after pondering for a while.
"Sure, Little Li, bring Imperial Physician Mo to the main hall.”Murong Che's icy cold voice made Little Li's body tremble. He quickly accepted the order and brought the imperial physician out of the inner hall.
"Emperor, has the matter of the servant's pregnancy been exposed? Was that why someone wanted to murder the child of a concubine?”Liu Weirong tugged at Murong Che's sleeve nervously and asked uneasily.
Murong Che's expression softened as he reached out a hand to caress her. He touched her cheek and didn't say anything, but seeing his expression, Liu Weirong guessed it and her pretty face changed slightly.
"Don't worry, I'm here!" He comforted her in a low voice.
After a while, the imperial physician entered with a solemn expression.
"What did you find?" The gentleness on Murong Che's face disappeared. He pursed his thin lips and his eyes turned cold.
Needless to say, looking at the imperial physician, he already knew the result. He did not expect someone to be so bold as to drug his meal.
Liu Weirong was startled by the anger that was emanating from his body and his increasingly gloomy handsome face.
"Replying to the emperor, this lowly official found that there was a lot of muskiness in tonight's meal!”Imperial Physician Mo was shocked in his heart. This muskiness was not ordinary muskiness. It was not something that could be developed by ordinary people. The person who drugged Noble De must have a very high status.
Because after his inspection, the muskiness had no effect on men, but it had a strong effect on pregnant women. Noble De was really lucky to be able to avoid this disaster.
"Musk? Doesn't muskiness have a smell?" Liu Weirong's eyes widened as she exclaimed.
Imperial Physician Mo respectfully replied," This should be a newly developed muskiness. It is colorless and odorless in water, making it impossible for people to detect it. This humble official found some powder on the edge of a dish, confirming that it is muskiness."”
It was also because the spy was careless that he did not notice that the edge of a plate was dry. He took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and quietly sprinkled the musk powder into the dishes that had yet to be placed into the food box while he was heating the fire.
Murong Che slammed the teacup on the table onto the floor and stood up abruptly. He glared at everyone in the room and said angrily,""Good, very good. Good, Little Li, bring the people from the kitchen up!”
"Yes, sir!" Little Li's heart trembled.
After all the trouble, Liu Wei Rong was already very tired. Murong Che saw this and his heart ached for her.
The interrogation later would probably be very bloody. It was better not to let her stay here.
"White Lotus, Xing 'er, help Noble Lord De into the inner room to rest.”He touched Liu Weirong's face and gently caressed her protruding belly, feeling like he had regained something he had lost.
She ordered two palace maids to send her in.
"Many thanks, Your Majesty!" Liu Weirong was very appreciative of Murong Che's thoughtfulness. After thanking him, she entered the inner room with the careful support of Xing 'er and White Lotus.
Once she got into bed, she relaxed and felt sleepy. Soon, Liu Weirong fell into a deep sleep.
The bloody interrogation outside did not affect her at all.
No one knew what Murong Che asked in the end, but he directly beat one of the rough servants to death and sent the other two to the Punishment Division. Even if they didn't die, they would lose a layer of skin.
After that, the entire Rou Fu Palace underwent a major purge. Other than Xing 'er, Bai Lian, Granny Zhang, and Granny Chen, the remaining servants were all sent away.
A new batch of people came in.
These people were all Murong Che's men.
Liu Weirong could be considered to have benefited from this disaster. The entire Soft Fortune Palace was the Emperor's people, so her safety was guaranteed. It was also clear how much Murong Che valued Liu Weirong's child.
The huge change in Rou Fu Palace had alarmed all the concubines in the harem. Even the Empress Dowager knew about it and sent people to find out what had happened.
When the Empress learned that her spy had been killed, her heart tightened. She thought that she did not leave any evidence behind and should not be able to find her, so she was relieved.
At the same time, he hated Noble De's good luck.
He was actually still alive. Even if he was lucky enough to be alive, the child in his stomach should have been aborted. Otherwise, the emperor would not be so furious.
She was very confident in the efficacy of the muskiness powder.
Thus, the Empress slept soundly tonight.
Although the major event that happened in Rou Fu Palace that night had been sealed off and no news had spread, there were still people who knew about it.
Because the Imperial Academy of Medicine had prepared Liu Weirong's pulse.
This time, everyone knew that Noble De was pregnant, and the harem was in a state of shock, especially Noble Consort Fang, who was also pregnant.
He actually fainted.
Liu Xiangya was so shocked that she couldn't believe it. She kept muttering,""Impossible, impossible. How could she be pregnant?”
His expression was as if he had gone mad.
Roufu Palace, Yilan Hall
Liu Weirong fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, it was almost midnight. The candle in the room had not been extinguished, and there was still a red candle burning.
Feeling the layer of something on her skin, she felt a little uncomfortable. Just as she was about to enter the space to take a bath and wash away that layer of thing, she realized that there was a man sleeping beside her.
She was almost scared to death. Under the weak candlelight, she saw the man's face clearly.
So it was Emperor Murong Che. He was in such a deep sleep.
Perhaps it was because she was looking closely, but she saw that his eyes were tightly shut and his eyes were green. He looked extremely tired. It seemed that he had been busy the entire night.
She couldn't help but feel touched.
It seemed that she wouldn't wake up for a while. Liu Weirong took a set of clean clothes and sneaked into the space. She took a big gulp of spiritual spring water, then took off her clothes and went into the river to take a bath.
After washing up, she changed into fresh clothes and quickly left the space. She did not stay in there for long, afraid that Murong Che would suddenly wake up.
Because of her pregnancy, Liu Weirong still felt sleepy easily. Lying next to Murong Che, she could hear his shallow breathing and fell asleep again.
In her sleep, she unconsciously snuggled into Murong Che's arms. Perhaps it was because she had just taken a shower and still had some spiritual energy, but Murong Che, who was sleeping soundly, naturally relaxed. He reached out and hugged Liu Weirong, and the two of them slept intimately with their heads touching.
The sky was slightly bright, and Liu Weirong woke up from hunger. When she turned her head, she was red. Her lips accidentally landed on Murong Che's handsome face and her face turned hot, as if it was on fire.
She turned her face away shyly and did not notice Murong Che's eyelids moving.
She touched it. She touched her stomach. She was eating enough for two people now. Because of the accident at dinner last night, she did not fill her stomach. Now, her stomach was growling in protest.
The child was probably starving and kicked her. Liu Weirong's heart ached. She touched her stomach and comforted the little bun in it. She gently pried away Murong Che's large hand that was covering her chest. She planned to quietly get out of bed and go to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.
Because she was sleeping inside, Liu Wei Rong held her big belly and planned to walk around Murong Che and get off the bed.
"Be careful!"
Murong Che opened his eyes and saw Liu Weirong, who was about to step over him. His heart skipped a beat and the veins on his forehead popped. He stretched out his long arms and quickly pulled her into his arms.
Feeling Murong Che's anger, Liu Weirong hurriedly explained,""Emperor, just now the little prince kicked Nvqie in protest and told Nvqie to go find food.”
When Murong Che heard this, the anger on his handsome face faded.
"In the future, you are not allowed to do such dangerous things. You stay here well. Zhen will get someone to prepare.”
Then, he went out for a while. Not long after, Little Li and White Lotus came in with copper basins.
By the time the two of them finished washing up, breakfast was ready.
After breakfast, Murong Che said,""Other than the few people around you, I've changed everyone in Soft Fortune Palace. They're all my people. In the future, you can rest assured and give birth to a healthy eldest son for me.”
After saying that, seeing that it was getting late, he brought Little Li to the court.
Liu Weirong was left standing there with a face full of joy. He touched his protruding abdomen.
Was this a blessing in disguise?
