I was a little surprised that she asked so directly. For a moment, I didn't know how to open my mouth. I was stunned for a moment and looked at Huan Pei.
Huan Pei came to my side and whispered a few words to me, which made my expression change.
Taking a deep breath, I calmed down and said to Qing Wanyi,"Sister Qing, where did you get the incense you lit in this room?”
Qing Wanyi's expression changed and her lips moved, but she was careful not to speak.
Seeing this, I continued," Forget it, Younger Sister won't ask too much. It's just that although the weather is cold, the air is fine. It's better for Elder Sister to have more ventilation. As for this incense, it's better to use less." Younger sister still had some snow bird's nest that the emperor had given her. She would stew it for elder sister and send it over. It could also be considered as her sister's heart for the emperor's heir.”
After saying that, I didn't wait for her to reply. I nodded in greeting and turned around to leave.
After Xiao He, who sent me to the gates of the Shenhua Palace, returned, I hurriedly said to Huan Pei,"No matter what, you have to keep this fetus. I'll go to Lady An's place to take a look."
Seeing Huan Pei leave in a hurry, I headed towards Chengfu Palace. I thought there would be many people here, but I didn't expect that there would only be Yuan Yan and a few servant girls in the west courtyard where Lady An lived. Seeing that I had come, Yuan Yan came to my side.
I looked at the orderly situation here and thought that everything was fine."How is it? Is her pregnancy okay?"
" Fortunately, she's fine. She was just frightened. The imperial physician prescribed a prescription to calm her mind and prevent her pregnancy. He said that she's fine. Just now, Handsome Fairness Lan and Concubine Liang came over to take a look and replied." Yuan Yan stroked her chest." She was frightened. I was really scared to death."”
I laughed at her." She's still three to four months pregnant. You'll be in shock for a while.”
Looking at Yuan Yan's worry, I comforted her,"Although you live in the same palace, you're not the master. Even if something happens, it can't be blamed on you.”
Yuan Yan was still worried." It's not my fault. I'm just afraid that it's my fault. Yu 'er, find an opportunity to talk to the Emperor later and move her to another palace."”
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry." My Sister Yan, it's not my turn to say it. Besides, the harem is now under Rong Xiu Yi's control. There's also the Empress Dowager above. The Emperor probably won't interfere in this matter.”
When Yuan Yan heard this, her face turned bitter again and she sighed repeatedly.
After returning from the Palace of Fortune, I had a hasty meal. I couldn't concentrate on reading and playing the piano until Huan Pei came in and sent the bird's nest to the Palace of Fortune. Only then did I feel slightly relieved.
The next morning, everyone was waiting in Yongxiang Palace. At noon, it was announced that the imperial carriage and honor guard had arrived outside the city. All the concubines hurried to the inner palace gate to wait for the emperor. Soon, they saw the carriage and knelt down. Unexpectedly, only the Empress Dowager came down from the carriage and called out.
The Empress Dowager's voice was a little weak, probably because her body was still not feeling well.""The emperor has political matters to attend to and has gone to court.”
Rong Xiu Yi went over to help the Empress Dowager up the palanquin of the inner palace. Just as everyone was about to disperse, a palace maid suddenly came to report to Rong Xiu Yi in panic,""Xiu Yi niangniang, Qing Wan Yi's pregnancy is not good, please hurry over to take a look!”
Everyone present was puzzled, and my heart skipped a beat. I hurriedly looked at the ring pendant behind me, but she also had a puzzled expression and shook her head.
Rong Xiu Yi was the first to stabilize the situation." Empress Dowager, please go back and rest. I will go and take a look."”
Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager said,"Let's go. Aijia will also go and take a look."”
The group arrived at the Shihua Palace in a grandiose manner. The concubines stood on both sides. Rong Xiuyi helped the Empress Dowager to the main seat and ordered the palace maids to serve tea,""Have you summoned a doctor? Find someone to come over and answer."
Soon, the imperial physician who had seen him before knelt in the hall and replied,"This lowly official Li Rengui greets the Empress Dowager and niangniang. Replying to the Empress Dowager and niangniang Xiu Yi, Mistress Wanyi has already miscarried.”
His words shocked everyone. The Empress Dowager quickly asked,""How could this be! Have you investigated the reason?"
Li Rengui answered hesitantly,"" At first, Master Wanyi had symptoms of blood heat, and the fetus was indeed unstable. This lowly official has already prescribed a prescription to recuperate, and it has already improved two days ago. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be..."
The Empress Dowager frowned. So many useless words!"
" Yes, yes, according to this humble subject's deduction, Mistress Wanyi has taken something that is not beneficial to the fetus by mistake in the past one or two days, or-" His forehead was sweating a little. He took a breath and said," Or she has been poisoned."”
The empress dowager's face darkened when she heard this. She swept her gaze across the crowd and said coldly,""Aijia also thought that you people had steady personalities, but it turns out that you are also restless. Investigate! Investigate immediately! What about the people around her? Call over all the people who have taken the medicine!”
Soon, a few servants and palace maids knelt in the hall. Xiao He was at the front, her eyes red as she sobbed. The Empress Dowager asked,"Are you by her side? Has your master been anything out of the ordinary these past two days? Who has been to this palace?"
Xiao He bowed and said," In reply to the Empress Dowager, this servant's name is Xiao He. Master Qing's health has not been good for the past few days. He has not left the Shihua Palace for the past few days, and he has been eating as usual. Every day, the medicine soup is sent by the Imperial Academy of Medicine. This servant will personally heat it up for Master to take. I will not let others take it." These two days, only Yu Wanyi and Beauty Qi came to see our master yesterday.”
At this time, Li Rengui came in again and said that there was nothing unusual about the food.
Everyone's gaze fell on Yuan Yan and me. Yuan Yan had been a little nervous recently, so she quickly knelt down when she saw this."Replying to the Empress Dowager, ChenQie came here with Yu Wanyi yesterday. It was only a while before something happened on Lady An's side, so ChenQie left.”
Yuan Yan looked at me apologetically after she finished speaking. I could understand her eagerness to clear her name, so I naturally wouldn't blame her. After giving her a reassuring look, I knelt down and replied,"Replying to the Empress Dowager, Beauty Qi was right. ChenQie stayed a moment longer.”
" Yes, get up first." The Empress Dowager waved for us to get up. Her gaze swept across Li Rengui." If the food is fine, then it must be the problem with the medicine?"”
Li Rengui was so shocked that he shrank back,"This…"
He seemed to have something to say, but he hesitated.
However, no one looked into his reaction because Xiao He opened her mouth again and replied in a low voice, making me sweat.
"Empress Dowager, since yesterday afternoon, Master Qing has not eaten. Only…only Jinghe Palace sent someone to deliver a bowl of bird's nest. In the middle of the night, Master Qing was not well.”
These words didn't refer to anyone, but it was clear that I was the only one living in Jinghe Palace, and Qing Wanyi didn't eat, so how could I explain myself?
The Empress Dowager's eyes grew colder as she ordered,""Search Jinghe Palace!"
I knelt down again, my heart calm but inevitably perturbed. For a time, no one in the hall spoke again. After about ten minutes, there was suddenly a report."The Emperor has arrived!"
I sighed in my heart. Someone still informed him that in just a few days, a child was gone. I believe he would be sad.
Hurried footsteps came from behind, and everyone knelt on the ground.
"Alright, get up!" Wen Lang took a few steps to the front of the hall. He sounded a little anxious. Seeing that I was the only one kneeling, he was also puzzled." What happened?”
Rong Xiu Yi picked up the main points and told Wen Lang, which made him frown more and more. His eyes drifted towards me, and I was speechless. At this time, the people the Empress Dowager sent to search my palace came back with a report saying that they found some medicinal dregs in my palace and brought them back for the imperial physician to examine.
Li Rengui sifted through the medicinal dregs for a while, smelling and tasting them. His expression was a little complicated. He hesitated for a while, then secretly looked at me. I just stared at him quietly without any expression.
Wen Lang was very anxious. He wanted to ask but hesitated. He looked at the doctor and then looked at me. His eyes were probing. I suddenly didn't know how to respond and could only bite my lip.
"What exactly is it?" the Empress Dowager urged. Express!"
" Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, the formula of this medicine dregs is very strange. This humble official has never seen it before. This humble official estimates that the main effect of this medicine is…" Li Rengui carefully considered his words, but was interrupted by Rong Xiuyi, who had not spoken all this while." There is no need to count the effects. Imperial Physician Li only said that this medicine has no effect on pregnancy.”
On this winter day, Li Rengui's action of wiping his sweat was very ironic."Yes, this dregs contains a small amount of Daphne genkwa and lobelia. Although the dosage is not to the extent of-"
He looked at his masters and seemed to have made a decision. Without hesitation, he said," This medicine is not good for pregnancy. When I examined Master Qing's medicine, I found that it was also in it, but it was made colorless and odorless. I don't know when it was added.”
"Good! Sure!" The Empress Dowager slapped her palm on the table." This formula is indeed very strange! Yu Wanyi, what do you have to say!"
I was stunned and wanted to explain, but I didn't know where to start. I couldn't say that Huan Pei suspected that Qing Wanyi was poisoned. There was no evidence. If I said this now, no one would believe it. Perhaps I would have to use Huan Pei.
Rong Xiuyi was the one who spoke appropriately,"Sister Yu, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are all here, waiting for your reply."”
"Why is Empress Xiu Yi still calling her little sister? She harmed Qing Wan Yi, how can she still be our sister!”It was obvious from the voice that it was Wang Yiyao. She led everyone to shed a few tears." Sister Qing is really pitiful…"
" Your Majesty, I don't think this matter is conclusive." Song Bining, who was the least likely to speak, stood up." If Yu Wanyi had tampered with Qing Wanyi's medicine, why would she send a bowl of bird's nest over and expose herself?"”
Zi Qi and Yuan Yan agreed.
"Ai, it's only less than a day away. Sister Qing has been waiting, but the emperor hasn't returned.”
A choked voice sounded. It seemed like a casual sigh, but it answered Song Bining's question in one sentence. It provided a sufficient reason for my so-called exposing myself. If I wasn't in the center of the whirlpool, even I couldn't help but praise her.
At this moment, I was only left with disbelief and shock, so much so that I wanted to turn my head to look at the person who spoke. What surprised me even more was that she didn't even avoid my gaze and maintained a sad expression, causing me to be at a loss for a moment.
I didn't hear wrongly, this person is the woman that Zi Qi and I considered sisters, Yi Wan Yi Feng Chun Sheng.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 48PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
