Yunxiu and Yunxi live together, so it is no exaggeration to say that they know each other best.
Once you check carefully, you will soon find something wrong.
First, I found a pair of high-quality jade bracelets in Yunxi's cabinet.
Yunxi stammered and said that she bought it with her own money and would keep it as a dowry in the future.
But Yunxiu could tell at a glance that she was lying. As a maid of Yi Xiuyuan, didn't she know how much money she could save
It's not enough to buy a pair of bracelets like this.
But she hasn't exposed Yunxi yet, and wants to see who is behind her.
On the night that Yunxiu found the bracelet, Yunxi indeed went out secretly.
For fear of alerting the enemy, Yunxiu followed from a distance. Although she didn't see the man's appearance clearly, as soon as Yunxi came back, she immediately tied the man up and brought him in front of Yi Xiuyuan.
Yi Xiuyuan was extremely angry. If Yunxiu hadn't stopped her, she would have stabbed Yunxi to death with a knife.
After so many years of friendship, I ended up raising an ungrateful person.
After interrogating him all night, Yi Xiuyuan took the man to Jiuchen Palace early the next morning.
It just so happened that Ye Jun was in the emperor's chamber last night, and Yi Xiuyuan arrived when Ning Chen was leaving court, but Ye Jun hadn't left yet.
As soon as he entered the hall and saw Yunxi, who was following Yi Xiuyuan timidly, Ye Jun understood.
Well, today is still just in time.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report. It concerns the reputation of the heir to the throne and me. I dare not conceal it."
After calming herself down, Yi Xiuyuan began to speak.
Ning Chen frowned, first looked at Ye Jun who was sitting next to him, but in the end he still didn't say anything, and turned to Yi Xiuyuan and waved his hand, "Go ahead."
Yi Xiuyuan took a deep breath and her face became serious.
"Su Jieyu's personal maid Baicao has repeatedly taken Kuncao from Yunxi, the senior palace maid beside me. Kuncao is a blood-activating medicine. I have had irregular menstruation recently, and the medicine I take contains Kuncao. However, Su Jieyu is pregnant, so she must not touch this medicine. I don't know if someone wants to make trouble for the royal heir."
Having said this, Ning Chen's eyes had turned cold.
"The crime of murdering the heir to the throne is punishable by death. Is Yi Xiuyuan sure there is something going on? Where are those two girls?"
"I have always followed the palace rules and dared not go beyond them. I have no evil thoughts towards the fetus in Concubine Su's belly. However, I cannot resist someone's attempt to frame me. I have brought this servant here, and I will let the emperor deal with it."
Yi Xiuyuan bowed solemnly and winked at the person behind her. Yunxiu understood and gently pushed the person next to her.
Yunxi was so nervous at this moment that his face turned pale and he fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me. I don't know what Kuncao is used for. Yes, it was Su Jieyu's personal maid Baicao who asked me for it. She gave me a pair of jade bracelets. I was blinded by greed. Moreover, I also asked, and Baicao said that Su Jieyu's pregnancy seemed stable, so I guess she didn't eat that Kuncao. Please understand, Your Majesty!"
"I think we should ask the imperial physician to take a look at whether the fetus is stable or not. You should not believe my one-sided statement. This will also make me feel more at ease." Yi Xiuyuan said.
The look he gave Yunxi was full of naked disdain.
No matter how this matter turns out, Yunxi is ruined and Yi Xiuyuan will never use her again.
Obviously, Ning Chen would do it even without her saying it.
He immediately ordered Yuan Jiu to go in person and invite Concubine Su to come, and not to let the news leak out.
Ye Jun narrowed her eyes slightly and added, "Who is the imperial physician who takes care of Concubine Su? He is most familiar with Concubine Su's pulse case. I think we should call him as well."
"Well, Huai'an, you go and tell her that I want to ask about Concubine Su's pregnancy." Ning Chen nodded.
Seeing Ye Jun speak, Yi Xiuyuan realized belatedly that Ye Jun was probably going to join forces with her this time.
But what’s the point of joining forces to deal with an out-of-favor Su
Yi Xiuyuan narrowed her eyes and thought carefully. Suddenly, a person flashed through her mind: Yao!
Come to think of it, the feud between her and Yao started very early.
It was probably Yao who almost embarrassed her at the state banquet that year. Later, when she was plotted against during her pregnancy, Yao was also involved.
If she had succeeded at the beginning, I would never have given birth to the third prince.
And now, if it was really Yao who was behind this incident and wanted her to be charged with murdering Concubine Su's fetus, then this would be a feud to the end.
In less than half an hour, Concubine Su was invited back by Yuan Jiu.
Originally, Su thought that the emperor valued her, and she was conflicted between being happy and sad. However, when she saw Doctor Hu and two other doctors in the palace, she suddenly became nervous.
In particular, the atmosphere in the palace was a little strange. One of the palace maids beside Yi Xiuyuan was kneeling on the ground.
Su Jieyu didn't quite recognize Yunxi, but Baicao, who had been in contact with Yunxi a lot in the past two days, discovered him immediately.
The color drained from his face in an instant.
But now he couldn't make any mistakes, so he had to pretend to be calm and helped Concubine Su forward.
From the outside, it's hard to tell what's wrong with Su.
Her belly was round and of moderate size, maybe her face was a little pale, but she told others that it was because of severe morning sickness, which made sense.
"Doctor Hu, please take Concubine Su's pulse and see how her fetus is doing." Ning Chen said directly.
There was a hint of hidden annoyance on his face, and he was no longer very patient.
Although it was winter now, Doctor Hu was already sweating all over. He answered "yes" and pretended to be calm before going forward to take the patient's pulse.
Needless to say, Su Jieyu, who was pregnant, also realized that something was wrong and her throat became a little tight.
But there is nothing I can do at this moment, I can only cooperate obediently.
Yi Xiuyuan looked at it for a while and sneered, "Why is Concubine Su's pulse so complicated? Doctor Hu is known as a gynecologist, but he hasn't been able to diagnose it for such a long time?"
"Since Imperial Doctor Hu can't tell the truth, Imperial Doctor Zhang, please feel Concubine Su's pulse." Ning Chen's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Doctor Zhang bowed and walked over with a serious expression.
Su wanted to take her hand back, but under the gazes of the emperor and the other two concubines, she seemed to be frozen and unable to move.
As Doctor Zhang's fingers moved slightly while feeling Su's pulse, her face quickly turned pale.
Doctor Zhang, who was taking the patient's pulse, was even more shocked. After confirming it again and again, he finally bowed solemnly and replied.
"Your Majesty, if I am not wrong in my diagnosis, Concubine Su's fetus is already dead in her womb. She will definitely miscarry within five days."
"No, it's impossible!" Su suddenly stood up, her face full of disbelief, "You must have diagnosed my pulse wrongly, that's for sure. Doctor Hu said yesterday that my baby was healthy, how could it be stillborn today? You must be wrong!"
Su's sudden attack startled everyone.
Even her appearance didn't seem like she was acting; her expression of surprise and anger was so realistic.
It was at this moment that Su's face changed, and she fell back down, holding her stomach with a look of extreme pain.
And where she had just stood, a few drops of dark red blood were dripping onto the ground.
