I believed in Huan Pei's medical skills, but I had no time to think about why Qing Wanyi still had a miscarriage.
Wen Lang looked at me. Confusion and sadness appeared from his tightly furrowed brows, and his low voice said,"Did you do it?"
I suddenly felt a little sad because I had no way to defend myself, because I couldn't save that little life, and because of Wenlang's painful and regretful gaze.
So I just nodded calmly.”
This answer made many people feel relieved, but it also made Wen Lang's expression change drastically.
I knew that any explanation would be useless, but I still said unwillingly,"It's just that the medicine-"
Before she could finish, a palace maid rushed out of the inner hall."Empress Dowager, Emperor! Master Qing suddenly couldn't stop bleeding! He has already fainted. Quickly invite the imperial physician in!”
"Hurry up and go!" Wen Lang urged Li Rengui and ordered his servant," Go to the Imperial Academy of Medicine and call the hospital's envoy and judge over!”
" Your Majesty, please be at ease. Little Sister Qing is a blessed person. She will be fine. There are too many people and it is a mess. Why don't you ask everyone to disperse first?" Rong Xiu Yi steadied the situation." But how should we deal with this Yu Wanyi?"”
Wen Lang turned around and looked at me. Just as he was about to speak, the Empress Dowager said,""Since she has already admitted it, she cannot return to Jinghe Palace. The servants in the palace must also be investigated for the same crime. If the Emperor wants peace in the harem, he must not tolerate it!”
These words made Wen Lang's expression turn cold. He swept a glance at the concubines in the hall and said coldly,"The Mu Clan has been demoted to changing clothes and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The people in Jinghe Palace are grounded and await punishment.”
I was shocked when I heard this. Wen Lang's punishment was indeed a little too severe. Even if he were to be sentenced to death, he would at most be sent to the Cold Palace. There were very few precedents in my dynasty where concubines were sent to prison. Even the Empress Dowager calmly expressed her surprise. The expressions of the concubines must be very interesting.
I opened my mouth and felt wronged. It turned into tears that filled my eyes. I bit my lower lip tightly and didn't let them fall. Forget it, I chose it myself. I can't blame anyone else.
Thus, he no longer looked at Wen Lang and only thanked him properly, allowing the law enforcement eunuch to take him away.
When they came out of the Shihua Palace, they saw the ring and bell. The two of them obviously panicked. They wanted to follow but were stopped. I gave Huan Pei a firm look and shook my head gently, telling her not to act rashly. I think she must understand what I meant.
The Imperial Prison of the Internal Affairs Bureau was used to imprison the most important criminals in the palace and the imperial family's secret trial criminals. The two evil cult hostages were imprisoned here. As the dynasty had just changed and the world had been pardoned, this place was very deserted.
I cooperated and took off the hairpin and handed it to the guards. They rarely saw concubines being locked in before, so they didn't make things difficult for me. They only told me not to make a noise and wait for interrogation.
The more he thought about today's matter, the more he felt that it was strange. However, he could not figure it out. His heart was also in a mess. All kinds of emotions were entangled, making him feel very uncomfortable. After a while, everyone quieted down. I began to examine the predicament in front of me. The imperial prison was very clean. There were tables and beds, but there was no sunlight or fire. It was very damp and cold.
In January's weather, my palace clothes could only adapt to the warm indoors. I really couldn't resist the cold. In this kind of place, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive for a few days. I curled up in a corner of the bed and complained to Wenlang's cold and hard heart. He knew that I was most afraid of the cold, but he still treated me like this. Could it be that he really determined my crime and wanted to punish me?
Gradually, she felt a little tired. She grabbed the thin blanket on the bed, curled up, and lay down. She remembered that she had never suffered like this since she was young, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad. If Brother Chuan was still here…
She forced herself to close her eyes and not think about it, but her tears flowed out.
My entire body was cold, and I had an extremely unstable sleep. I was in a half-dream, half-sleep state. During this time, someone seemed to have brought me food, but I didn't pay attention to it. I only knew that I would sleep and wake up at certain times.
It wasn't until I realized that someone was talking in a low voice outside. It was so buzzing that I couldn't hear it clearly. Then, the sound of the door opening woke me up. My eyes were hazy as I looked over. The person standing outside was Wen Lang.
There were still some servants behind him, as well as the guards of the imperial prison. At this moment, it was reasonable for me to meet him. I propped up my body and as the thin blanket slid down, my body, which had not warmed up, came into contact with the cold air. It really shivered, causing me to subconsciously retract my movements. The gray brick floor looked extremely cold and hard, making me feel afraid.
In this moment of hesitation, Wenlang had already reached the bedside. I gritted my teeth and got off the bed. I knelt on the ground. The coldness surrounded me again. The feeling on my knees was even more fatal. I took a breath and endured it. For a moment, I couldn't make a sound.
"Go and wait outside."
Fortunately, Wen Lang waved his hand to signal the servants and guards to leave. He helped me up with both hands and sighed."Yu 'er, you must be anxious from waiting, right?"
I stared into his eyes and said in a hoarse voice,"I didn't harm her."
Wen Lang looked at me without hesitation.”
These few words expressed his full trust in me, which made my heart calm down. My sadness and emotion gained the upper hand again. I said with a nasal voice,"Brother Lang, it's so cold here."
As soon as she opened her mouth, tears fell.
Wen Lang's eyes were filled with heartache. He took off his cloak and wrapped me up. He pulled me to sit by the bed."Yu 'er, you've seen the situation today. They and mother are watching, I really can't be biased…"
I placed my hand on his to express my understanding. Wen Lang held my cold hand and stretched out his right arm to embrace me. He sighed softly."In the end, I was negligent and forgot to ask them to take care of you.”
I shook my head and smiled." It's nothing. Yu 'er can hold on for at least two or three days."”
Wen Lang gently turned my body towards him and wiped my tears. He said apologetically,"You're still blaming me."
His hand felt exceptionally warm when it touched my cold face. I raised my eyes and slowly said,"No, Brother Lang, I'm not afraid. I'm just very regretful that I couldn't protect your flesh and blood. There must be something wrong.”
After a pause, I continued," If I still felt wronged before, then when all the evidence pointed to me, you chose to believe me. I'm really grateful. Why would I blame you?"”
"Yu 'er, no matter what, I will always believe you." We have known each other since we were young. Even without second brother, I would not suspect you because of those women.”
I was silent for a moment.”
"Around midnight," he said.
" It's so late." I was a little surprised that Wen Lang came over at this hour." How's Qing Wanyi?"”
" It's not good. The doctor said that it was a hemorrhage after a miscarriage. It was barely stopped. I don't know if it's good or bad." Wen Lang sighed and asked me," Yu 'er, tell me, what happened these past few days? How did you get involved?" What's with the dregs?"
Chang Yuan brought someone in with a brazier and removed the cold food on the table. He replaced it with some exquisite snacks and dishes. He also brought me a warm blanket. Soon, the small prison cell became warm. Wen Lang led me to sit at the table and urged me to drink some hot soup to warm my body.
I explained the process to Wen Lang in detail and added my analysis and questions."Qing Wanyi had been weak in both blood and Qi from the first day of her pregnancy to the twelfth month of the lunar calendar. However, she suddenly had symptoms of blood heat during the new year, and it acted up quickly. Normally, blood heat would not suddenly appear, especially after she was pregnant. It was even rarer.”
" Seeing that Li Rengui didn't dare to take responsibility, the prescription was mild. I asked Huanpei to add something to cure the poison in her medicine. I just wanted to help her stall until Brother Lang returned to the palace. She had already improved greatly, but it worsened yesterday. Huanpei found that the incense burning in her room was abnormal. The situation was urgent, so I took the risk to send her the bird's nest and made myself the target of public criticism.”
"So, I did tamper with her medicine, but the person who wanted to harm her was not me. Qing Wan Yi's illness and the true effect of the medicine dregs, the old imperial physician would surely know after a test. It's a pity that I've spent so much effort-"
I lowered my eyes.
" Yu 'er, don't apologize to me. It's not your fault. You've already tried your best." Wen Lang's face was filled with hatred." The court judge also said that there was something unusual about the bleeding. I didn't take it to heart at that time. This time, I must find out who the culprit is!"”
" It must not be easy." My heart moved." Brother Lang cares a lot about Qing Wanyi."”
Wen Lang looked at me." After all, they are two lives. I am not a heartless person. How can I underestimate them?"”
I didn't say anything more. I only asked the last question in my heart,""Brother Lang, why is it the imperial prison and not the Cold Palace?”
He was silent for a moment before he said," The Imperial Prison of the Internal Affairs Department is very close to the Qianyuan Palace. The Cold Palace is too far away. I'm afraid that if something happens, I won't be able to take care of you.”
I was stunned and sighed that I hadn't thought of this. I suddenly thought of a possibility."Brother Lang, are you afraid that the Empress Dowager will kill me?”
Seeing Wen Lang's silent agreement, I lowered my head and chuckled."If that's really the case, then I'll really die before I can finish my job. When I see Brother Chuan, he'll definitely laugh at me.”
Wen Lang stroked my long hair and said emotionally,"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Jiang Shan and Yu 'er.”
Before Wen Lang left, I remembered something." Brother Lang, the people in my palace-"
"Don't worry, I'll make the arrangements."”
I nodded and sent him away. From the second day onwards, my situation was much better. Although I was still in prison, I no longer felt the bone-piercing cold. However, there was nothing I could do. I could only wait for the commotion outside.
I knew that Wenlang had locked me up here as a temporary measure. There was no problem with the medicine given to me by Huan Pei. As long as the outside world was busy for two or three days, I would be able to wash away my grievances. However, for the next five days, there was no news from him, which made me feel a little anxious. I vaguely felt that something had gone wrong.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
