However, no matter what happened on the Queen's side, Ye Jun didn't care. What she cared about was that her promise should be fulfilled.
So, one hour after Ye Jun returned to Yuxiu Pavilion, a bowl of chicken soup was delivered to Yingyan Pavilion.
From now on, Yi Xiuyuan will be in confinement after giving birth.
Apparently, the people at Yingyan Pavilion didn't expect Ye Jun to really send it. When the chicken soup was presented to Yi Xiuyuan, she was so angry that she immediately threw the bowl.
"Ye, you really dare!"
The little strength Yi Xiuyuan had just recovered after giving birth was completely gone in this breath. She felt dizzy and lay in bed, unable to move.
"You have no eyesight, throw the things out now!" Yun Xiu shouted harshly.
The little palace maid who brought in the soup was so frightened that her face turned pale. She immediately swept up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and mopped the floor.
But somehow, Yi Xiurong always felt that there was a smell of chicken soup in the house.
During the confinement period, I couldn't stand the wind and couldn't open the windows for ventilation, so I had to ask people to add two more plates of incense, and then I felt better.
I thought there would be a second bowl the next day, but Ye Jun didn’t send it.
That’s just the point.
If you really send it every day, it would be a bit too much.
Yi Xiurong has given birth to a prince now after all, so Ye Jun shouldn't be too arrogant and just make people feel annoyed.
I’m afraid Yi Xiurong won’t want to drink chicken soup in the next one or two years.
At noon the next day, the queen finally woke up.
When I just woke up, everything in front of me was foggy. The bright yellow tent ceiling was embroidered with peonies, so I couldn't see clearly, and my throat was very dry.
After lying down for a cup of tea, I finally felt clear-headed.
Thinking of what happened yesterday, I subconsciously reached out my hand to my lower abdomen. After a light press, I felt something was wrong.
"Someone, come quickly, call the imperial physician, my stomach... um..."
The queen wanted to struggle to get up, but she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen and fell back onto the couch.
Nanny Ding, who was guarding outside, immediately ran in and said, "Madam, you are weak. Lie down first. I will go and call the imperial physician."
"Mammy, I fainted yesterday. What happened? Where is the child? Is the child still alive?"
The queen grabbed Nanny Ding's hand, her eyes filled with anxiety and fear.
But the moment Nanny Ding avoided her gaze, she understood everything.
The whole person collapsed as if he had lost his soul, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, you will have more children. You must take care of yourself. Don't cry during the confinement period, or you will damage your eyes." Aunt Ding was also very upset.
Then his eyes turned red.
But how could others understand the pain of losing a child? The queen felt as if the sky had fallen.
At first she just shed silent tears, but after a long time she started crying out loud, buried her head in the quilt and cried until she fainted.
The man was awakened only after the imperial physician arrived and gave him acupuncture.
When the queen woke up, she coaxed everyone in the room out and stayed alone for a full half day until the queen mother came to see her in person.
The relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law had not been very good to begin with, and the queen was in no mood to deal with it at this moment, so the two of them parted on bad terms.
The main reason was that the Queen Mother was really rude and her words were full of scolding.
It was said that the queen was too ignorant and did not take care of her body, which led to her miscarriage.
How could the queen listen to this at this moment? She retorted a few words in a rude manner.
The Queen Mother was persuaded by Nanny Fu and did not lose her temper, but she was still angry.
So the content of the letter sent to the south was not very good.
Of course, the queen was completely unaware of this. When she finally realized it after a few days, the empress dowager's letter was already in Ning Chen's hands.
Ning Chen was suspicious about Yang's death. After all, there were many people in the harem who did not have children, and it was possible that someone wanted to raise the second prince.
But the Queen only said in the letter that it was an accident and did not investigate further, so nothing could be found for a while.
However, I decided to observe this matter carefully after returning to Beijing.
Just as I put this aside, the Empress Dowager's letter arrived.
The first part of the story describes how Yi Xiuyuan gave birth to the third prince, and both mother and child were safe, but before they were happy, it was described how the queen overworked herself and had a miscarriage.
The Queen Mother also wrote that the Queen's pregnancy had not been in good condition and she had to take medicine to preserve the pregnancy every day. It seemed that she was not destined to have this child from the beginning.
Considering the drowning of Yang, Ning Chen couldn't help but wonder if the Queen knew from the beginning that she could not keep her child, so she tried to kill Yang and then had a miscarriage. He would sympathize with the Queen's pain of losing her child and give the second prince to the Queen to raise.
It’s just that the timing was not well managed, the miscarriage happened a little early, and the two events happened too close to each other.
It's no wonder that Ning Chen suspected her, mainly because the queen had attacked her offspring twice when she was in the palace, so she had a previous record, which always made people suspicious.
But there is no evidence for all these. If we want to find out, we can only return to Beijing as soon as possible.
However, there is still half of the place left to visit on the southern tour, and even if we speed up the schedule, we will not be able to return to Beijing until the end of April.
More than a month is too long. If I wait so long and then go back, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find anything.
Thinking of this, Ning Chen's eyes darkened a little. After thinking for a moment, he wrote a letter and secretly sent someone to Kyoto to hand it to the people in the Dark Pavilion.
In any case, these two things seemed too strange, and he had to investigate.
At this moment in the harem, Lin Xiurong locked herself in a small room and cried.
Holding the small clothes she had sewn for her unborn child, she felt extremely happy.
"Xie Huan, your child is gone after all. This is God's will!"
She had waited for so many years and finally saw Xie suffering the same pain of losing her child as herself. At this moment, she died without regrets.
Ever since she had a miscarriage that year, Lin's health has deteriorated. She has been taking medicine all the time for so many years, and she has almost relied on her obsession to get through to now.
Now that she saw the queen had a miscarriage, she felt that the resentment that had been pent up in her heart for years had finally been released, and even her sick body felt a lot better.
Not only her, but also Concubine Jing, who had been plotted against by the Queen, knelt in the small Buddhist temple to fulfill her wish.
But she looked very calm, not as if she was happy about having had her revenge.
"Your Majesty, dinner is ready." Nianzhu came over and called out.
Concubine Jing opened her eyes and looked at the statue of Bodhisattva in front of her, her eyes full of tenderness and tranquility.
"How has Lin Xiurong been these past two days?"
"I heard that she was so happy that she cried." Rosary helped her up.
Concubine Jing narrowed her eyes and curled her lips slightly, "This is how I deserve to be, after so many years of wishing for it to come true."
"That's right. He looks much better than before." Nusa also smiled.
Concubine Jing did not respond, and Nianzhu stopped talking after she finished speaking.
The queen had a miscarriage, and the concubines could be happy about it in private, but they could not show it in public.
Of course, it wasn’t just Lin Xiurong and Concubine Jing who were happy.
There are few people in the harem who want the queen to give birth to a child, except Concubine Zhao.
Now that the queen had a miscarriage, she has lost her power. She was working under the queen, and it was even more difficult for her to hold on to the queen since the queen was unable to take care of herself.
What's more, she has planned some other things, and now there may be changes.
