The little eunuch ran out and went to the imperial pharmacy to spread the word, but the news spread faster and spread throughout the palace.
Soon, all the concubines in the harem gathered in the emperor's bedroom.
Wu Wan and the others came the fastest. When they entered the door, they saw Zhu Feng sitting in a chair in the center of the room. Although the sun outside was still shining on his face, his face was gloomy, like a god of evil.
The people around did not dare to take a breath.
Wu Wan and the others hurried forward, kowtowed to him and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng glanced at them: "Why are you here?"
Wu Wan apologized and said with a smile: "The concubine just heard that the emperor brought out the imperial concubine, and also heard that the imperial concubine was ill, and I was very worried, so I came to visit."
"..."
As soon as Zhu Feng said this, the people around couldn't help but shuddered before Zhu Feng said anything.
She didn't get along with the noble concubine, even to the point where fire and water could not be tolerated, it would be disgusting to say such a thing at this time.
However, Nan Yan leaned against the head of the bed, but a faint smile appeared on her pale face.
"It's hard for Concubine Hui to think about it."
"We are all sisters, as it should be."
The two sides pretended to be in love, and they exchanged perfunctory words. Wu Wan and Nanyan had a lawsuit on their lips, but of course they couldn't get any advantage, so they could only shut their mouths angrily.
At this time, several concubines came outside.
Depin and the others walked in, and after saluting Zhu Feng, they all came to the bedside to greet the imperial concubine.
When everyone looked out the door and waited for the people from the imperial pharmacy to come over, Nanyan called Debi softly again.
"Concubine De, where is Mrs. Qin?"
"she?"
Xinqing didn't know why the noble concubine would suddenly ask Miss Qin, she thought about it, and said softly: "When I just came here, I saw that the door to the left hall was closed all the time."
"oh?"
"The imperial concubine, don't be offended, because the empress made her think about her past in the Yanxi Palace, so Lady Qin has been living in seclusion recently, and it's not because she didn't want to visit her on purpose."
She is a kind person, and at this moment, she did not forget to say a few good words for Qin Ruolan.
Nan Yan smiled: "It's okay."
Although De Concubine didn't take much care in the harem, she also knew the complicated entanglement of interests between them, so she didn't say much at this time, just smiled, and stepped aside to stand.
Although everyone looked peaceful on the surface, everyone's gazes were all looking at the gate in unison.
Everyone knew that something big might happen today.
Sure enough, after a short while, there was a rush of footsteps outside, figures shaking at the gate, and several people walked in.
It was Eunuch Chen, the admiral and eunuch of the imperial pharmacy, and two other attendants.
They walked in in a panic, seeing the empress and so many concubines in the harem, they turned pale with fright, and immediately bowed down.
"The slaves pay respects to the emperor, the empress, and all the empresses."
Zhu Feng sat in a chair and looked at them coldly.
He didn't speak immediately, and the others naturally didn't dare to say anything easily. Even though the empress ordered them to be brought here in a rage, she couldn't pass the emperor at this time.
So, everyone is quiet.
This kind of silence was more like a kind of torture. Several people knelt on the ground. Although the autumn was bleak, after a while, cold sweat soaked their clothes.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Feng said, "You guys did a good job!"
As soon as he said this, those few people trembled with fear.
Eunuch Chen, the leading admiral and eunuch tremblingly said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty forgives your sins. I beg your Majesty to show me what I have done wrong."
As he spoke, he cautiously looked up at Zhu Feng.
But seeing Zhu Feng glaring at him angrily, his eyes were like beasts, and he immediately lowered his head in fright.
At this time, Wang Baizhi, who was standing on the other side, said coldly: "Eunuch Chen, the emperor asked you to be in charge of the imperial pharmacy. The lives of the entire palace are in your hands, but how do you do this job?"
"ah?"
Seeing that he was still dazed and ignorant, Wang Baizhi stepped forward and put a medicine bowl in his hand directly in front of him, almost splashing the soup on his face.
"Look for yourself, what kind of medicine is this?"
After all, Eunuch Chen is also the person in charge of the imperial pharmacy, and he can smell it as soon as he smells it.
"This, this is - an antitussive drug."
"That's right, it's an anti-abortion medicine, but why did this bowl of anti-abortion medicine be delivered to the imperial concubine?!"
"ah?!"
Eunuch Chen was stunned and couldn't believe his ears: "This, how is this possible?"
"..."
"Anti-fetal medicine... the anti-fetal medicine in the imperial pharmacy is made for Concubine Ning."
"..."
"The imperial concubine is taking aconite soup."
He was so frightened that the two servants behind him were even more out of their wits.
"Aconite soup?"
Wang Baizhi became even more furious, and asked Xiao Shunzi to bring over another bowl of medicine, and said, "That's right, this is what you call aconite soup, take a good look yourself!"
"..."
"This bowl of aconite soup has been delivered to Concubine Ning!"
Hearing these words, Eunuch Chen didn't dare to look at the bowl of medicine anymore, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
Aunt Lian Tongyun was also shocked: "Huh? Aconite soup, has it been sent to Ning Fei?"
Nan Yan raised her head and said to her, "Auntie, is there something wrong with this medicine?"
Aunt Tongyun's face was pale, and her voice tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, if you drink this anti-abortion medicine, although the medicine is not suitable for the symptoms, it will not have any effect, but Fuzi Decoction—" She shuddered when she said this: " Aconite is a forbidden drug for pregnant women!"
"ah?"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Empress Xu Miaoyin's face darkened: "Really?"
Wang Baizhi turned her head, cupped her hands, and said: "Return to what the empress said, this aunt is right. Aconite is a poisonous medicine, and it is not important for ordinary people to take it to drive away the cold; but The fetus in the pregnant woman's womb cannot bear such toxicity, so Fuzi Decoction is a forbidden medicine for pregnant women!"
Hearing what he said, all the concubines around were shocked.
Depin Xinqing immediately said: "Then, send this medicine to Concubine Ning, ah!"
"Here, is Concubine Ning poisoned?"
"The child in her womb—"
Everyone's faces were worried and frightened. Nan Yan raised her head and glanced at the person beside the bed. Although Wu Wan and Gao Yurong had remained calm, their expressions suddenly changed at this moment. got pale.
They looked at each other, sweat dripping from their foreheads.
Xu Miaoyin was a little anxious at this time: "Then, after Concubine Ning drank this medicine, the child in her womb—"
