"Consort Mother, the Empress 'body is already a little weak. She just ate a lot of food, how can she eat now!”Jing Hao raised his eyebrows, his face filled with unease. The Empress Dowager…seemed to be targeting Su Qingyu!
Reaching out to pick up the teacup in front of her, the Empress Dowager also softened her tone."Hao 'er, this widow doesn't want to interfere with the affairs of the harem, but do you really like this empress?”
Seeing Jing Hao remain silent, the Empress Dowager continued,""The Empress is too delicate! Did she have the ability to handle the affairs of the harem? Consort Xian's disappearance, Imperial Consort's miscarriage, and even the selection of talents were all arranged by you!”
"Right, speaking of the miscarriage of the imperial noble consort, this widow still wants to ask what is going on!”
Hearing the Empress Dowager mention her miscarriage, Imperial Concubine Rong was stunned for a moment before she said sadly,""Empress Dowager, let's not mention the past!”
Seeing that the three of them were silent, the Empress Dowager could guess what was going on."Since you all don't say, then this widow won't ask! Look at how terrifying this woman's jealousy is!”
Raising his head, Jing Hao glared at Imperial Concubine Rong and said angrily,""You go back first!"
Imperial Concubine Rong was taken aback. She nodded and left obediently.
"Hao 'er, you can't keep a woman like that!”The empress dowager said indignantly.
"Then what does Imperial Mother mean?" Jing Hao asked tentatively.
Looking at the two people in front of her, the Empress Dowager calmly spat out two words,""Cripple the Empress!"
Jing Xiao was slightly startled. It seemed that his mother was more dissatisfied with Qinger.
"Imperial Mother, please forgive your son for not agreeing!”
"Hao 'er, that woman can even kill your flesh and blood. What else can't she do?”
Jing Hao raised his head and looked straight at the Empress Dowager,""This son doesn't know where consort mother heard these things from, but this son doesn't want to mention the matter of the noble consort miscarriage!”
"Hao 'er, you still want to protect that woman?”
"This widow will tell you clearly that if she exists in this palace, this widow will not exist!”
The Empress Dowager's harsh words made Jing Hao even more troubled. Although the Empress Dowager was not his biological mother, ever since his mother died, the Empress Dowager had done her best to take care of him and supported him to ascend the throne. Now…how could he choose? Su Qingyu…Consort Mother…the deposed Empress? Impossible! But what should the Empress Dowager say?
Seemingly noticing Jing Hao's dilemma, Jing Xiao said lightly,""Imperial Mother, let's put the matter of deposing the empress aside for now! Now that the Empress was pregnant, if she were to be abolished rashly, it would be difficult to explain to the General, right?”
After some thought, the Empress Dowager agreed with Jing Xiao's words and nodded.""Alright, then let's wait until the empress gives birth to the prince!”
Jing Hao also made a concession and could only delay it for now."Then Imperial Mother must not tell anyone about this!”There were still a few months before she gave birth. During this period, she should be able to curry favor with the Empress Dowager. Things should turn around.
The empress dowager nodded, seemingly tired.""Then you can go back first, aijia is tired!”
Jing Hao hesitated for a moment as he walked out of the bedroom with Jing Xiao.""Thank you, Thirteenth Brother."
"Hah!" Jing Xiao chuckled." Since when is my brother so polite?"”
"What do you plan to do about this? Consort Mother's decision was not easy to change!”Jing Xiao asked.
Looking at the gloomy sky, it seemed like it was going to rain. Jing Hao felt powerless."Let's drag this out for now!"
Knowing that he was also in a difficult position, Jing Xiao said," I'll persuade my mother." Then he walked away.
Within the Xuekun Palace, Su Qingyu lay on the bed, allowing the imperial physician to quietly take her pulse.
After a long time, the imperial physician spoke,""The Empress hasn't been resting well recently. Don't let her work too hard!”
Wu Ye nodded." That's right. Recently, the Empress has been unable to sleep all night."”
"This is a sedative. Take it once a day.”
After sending off the imperial physician, Wu Ye walked into the hall."Niangniang, you should sleep first. This servant will go and brew the medicine.”
Pulling Wu Ye back, Su Qingyu shook her head weakly, motioning for her not to leave.
"Niangniang, this servant is not at ease leaving it to others to fry. The Empress should rest for a while. She will be fine soon.”
"ChenQie pays her respects to Empress Dowager." Imperial Concubine Rong walked into the hall and bowed slightly.
"The Imperial Consort had a miscarriage not long ago. How is her recovery?”
Imperial Concubine Rong deliberately squeezed out a few drops of tears and said with a trembling voice,""Replying to Empress Dowager, ChenQie's body is fine. It's just that I pity that child. ChenQie heard from the Imperial Physician that it's still a fully formed male fetus!”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she also felt pity. This could only mean that the child had no fate with the royal family.”
"Empress Dowager, please forgive this servant for speaking too much.”Walking to the center of the hall and kneeling down, Xiao Bi said with some fear.
"Little Bi, what are you doing?" Imperial Concubine Rong was stunned. Come back quickly!"
"No worries!" The Empress Dowager waved at Imperial Concubine Rong." Continue."”
"Previously, my niangniang personally witnessed the empress and the Thirteenth Prince having an affair. Who knows if that child is the emperor's blood!”
The Empress Dowager looked at Imperial Concubine Rong in shock and disbelief.""Is what she said true?"
"Yes, Empress Dowager." Imperial Concubine Rong lowered her head.”
Rubbing her temples, the empress dowager waved her hand.""All of you can leave!"
Seeing the Empress Dowager like this, Imperial Concubine Rong smiled triumphantly.
After a long time, the empress dowager sighed weakly.
"Empress Dowager, do you want to see the Empress? Aunt Lanyue had been by the Empress Dowager's side for many years and was already familiar with her temperament.
"Lanyue, what do you think we should do?”
"This servant thinks it's better to investigate first, lest…"
The Empress Dowager nodded.”
In the Snowkun Palace, Wu Ye looked at the pale Su Qingyu and felt a little conflicted."Empress, do you really want to go?"
Smiling, Su Qingyu said helplessly,"Wu Ye, I can't not go! You know how she treated me a few days ago. If I don't go today, I don't know what will happen to her!”
" But…" Wu Ye was still a little hesitant. In the end, she was still a little worried." The Empress has just recovered, what if…"
"Alright, don't worry. No matter what, I'm still the Emperor's child. Even if the Empress Dowager finds me an eyesore, she still has to consider Jing Hao's face, right?”Su Qingyu comforted him. At the same time, she secretly decided that she had to protect this child!
Arriving at the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Su Qingyu felt a little uneasy. She didn't know how the Empress Dowager was going to make things difficult for her this time!
"ChenQie pays her respects to Empress Dowager!" Su Qingyu walked into the hall and bowed slightly to the Empress Dowager.
Glancing at Su Qingyu below, the Empress Dowager did not ask her to get up, nor did she say anything else.
"All of you can leave!" After a long time, the Empress Dowager ordered.
Wu Ye looked at Su Qingyu worriedly and walked out of the palace reluctantly. Knowing that staying there would not help the Empress, it would be better to go find the Emperor now!
"I heard…you had an affair with the Thirteenth Prince?”
The Empress Dowager did not let her get up, so Su Qingyu did not dare to move. He just looked up at her and said softly,"Chenqie and wangye are innocent!"
"Ha!" The Empress Dowager sneered, her eyes filled with suspicion." Is that true?”
Biting her red lips, Su Qingyu said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner,"ChenQie doesn't know where Empress Dowager heard this from. I only hope that Empress Dowager won't talk nonsense about this matter. If it gets out, it will ruin wangye's reputation and also ruin ChenQie's innocence!”
After kneeling on the cold ground for a long time, Su Qingyu could not hold on any longer. She didn't know what was wrong with her these days, but she always felt extremely tired and her body was much weaker than before. Could it be because of her pregnancy?
"You're innocent?" After the empress dowager rebelled, her tone was so disdainful." What innocence do you have to speak of?!”
"The matter between you and wangye has long spread in the palace. Tell me, what face do you have to say that you are innocent to this widow!”
"A pure person is pure. If Empress Dowager doesn't believe me, feel free to ask wangye!”Su Qingyu bit her lip and said this. Her body trembled slightly, and cold sweat seeped out of her forehead.
"Presumptuous! Are you threatening this widow?" The empress dowager was a little angry that she did not notice her abnormality!
