Everyone left Fengqi Palace.
Ye Jun was already ill, and he forced himself to deal with the fight, but was knocked down again. He didn't walk far before his eyes went dark and he passed out.
"Beauty, beauty, what's wrong with you!" the two girls exclaimed.
Concubine Wang in front had not walked far yet, so she quickly called the two servants beside her to go over and help support the person.
"What's going on?"
Ning Chen, who heard the noise, sent Huai'an to check behind. When he saw Ye Jun fainted, he was shocked and ran back to report the news.
Not long after, Ning Chen came over. Looking at the pale-faced man, who had none of his former spirit, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
He picked the person up and carried him sideways, then strode towards Yuxiu Pavilion.
Several concubines who were not far behind saw it all and felt very uncomfortable.
"Yan Xiuyi, what are you waiting for? You can faint once tomorrow. Who knows, the emperor might hold you back to Hanluxuan like this." Concubine Jing's sedan chair passed by and she looked down at her.
Before Yan Xiuyi could open her mouth, she suddenly sneered again, "Oh, I forgot, things are different now, Yan Xiuyi may not have this opportunity anymore, let's go, I'm not going to daydream here, it's embarrassing."
Yan Xiuyi watched the sedan chair go away and her chest ached with anger.
Yichun hurriedly advised, "Don't be angry, Madam. Concubine Jing is just teasing you because her plan failed. If you are really angry, that will make her happy. Anyway, you have hope now, but she has nothing."
"Hmph, you can't even protect a six-month-old baby. I'm afraid you have neither the ability nor the blessing." Yan Xiuyi snorted.
She turned around and instructed Dan Ruo, "Go and call Xia up to Hanlu Pavilion to sit down. I have something to say to her."
Now that Yi Wanrong had an unexplained miscarriage, she had to be on guard.
Xia didn't care, but the baby in Xia's belly had to be raised by her, so she had to take care of it.
At that time in Yuxiu Pavilion, Ning Chen called the imperial physician to take his pulse.
The imperial physician only said that it was because of the severe cold that had already occurred, and that the illness had exhausted his energy and made him uneasy, and that he had fallen and was hit hard, which was why he was exhausted and fainted.
Fortunately, Ye Jun has a good physical condition. After taking a few doses of medicine and resting for half a month, he should be well again.
However, Ye Jun had some bruises on her waist and arms. Her skin was tender and fair, so the bruises looked very serious. The imperial physician also said that she had to apply ointment every day and rest for more than a month.
"Yuan Jiu, it seems that the cold comes earlier this year. Ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send a basket of silver charcoal. Lady Ming has caught a cold, and this room is not warm enough for her to recover. Also tell the kitchen to prepare extra fine food these days."
Ning Chen gave the order, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Nan Zhi and Hui Yue, "If your master needs anything, just send someone to talk to Yuan Jiu. We must take good care of her illness."
The imperial physician naturally had something to say as well. He instructed that good medicine must be used. It was not easy to recuperate in winter, and Chinese medicine took a long time to take effect, so more effort had to be put in.
After everything was settled here, Ning Chen sat for half an hour but saw no sign of Ye Jun waking up. Then someone came to report that Yi Wanrong had woken up. Ning Chen then got up and went to see Mrs. Wu first.
Yingyan Pavilion.
Mrs. Wu had already cried twice. Her eyes were swollen like lanterns and full of bloodshot. She had just suffered a miscarriage and was suffering from both qi and blood deficiency. Her face and lips were almost bloodless, and she looked extremely haggard.
Hearing that Ning Chen was coming, Wu threw back the quilt without hesitation, ran out barefoot with her hair loose and wearing a thin nightgown, and threw herself into Ning Chen's arms.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me, Your Majesty. My child... wuwuwu... My child is gone... wuwuwu..."
Ning Chen reached out and patted her back, soothing her softly, "The child is gone, but you still need to take care of your body. How can you catch a cold like this during the confinement period? I will definitely take care of it for you."
At this moment, two maids, Yunxi and Yunxiu, came out, and Ning Chen signaled them to help Wu back to bed first.
The two maids knew that their master looked untidy at the moment, so they quickly got some hot water, one of them wiped her face, and the other poured some tea to moisten her throat. Only then did Yi Wanrong look a little better.
"Your Majesty, someone tampered with Haitang in my room. The maids said that it seemed to be related to Concubine Ye..." Yi Wanrong asked tentatively.
In fact, she had already heard about Fengqi Palace when she woke up.
This included the fact that Ye Jun was given the title of Ming, and that the emperor personally carried Ye Jun back to Yuxiu Pavilion after he fainted.
But she was full of hatred in her heart. Why did she lose her child for no reason, but Ye Jun was able to get the title and ask the emperor to ignore her and be with her first
Even if she didn't do it, there was no one else who could be held responsible for it now, so she could only put all her hatred on Ye Jun.
So he couldn't help but bring it up on purpose to flatter Ning Chen.
"Someone framed her in this matter. The Queen has ordered a thorough investigation and she will give you an explanation." Ning Chen said in a gentle voice.
Seeing him say this without any doubt, Yi Wanrong had to hold back what she had in mind.
Since she couldn't do anything to Ye Jun, she had to at least get some benefits for herself. Yi Wanrong lowered her eyes and a few tears fell.
"I was unlucky and failed to keep the child. I had thought that I would inform His Majesty during the Chinese New Year after the baby was safely in place for three months. I never thought... It was because I failed to protect the heir that the villain harmed me. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Ning Chen frowned slightly. He did feel a little bit blameful towards Wu about this matter.
Even though Concubine Jing and Concubine Lin had miscarried before in the palace, since the eldest princess was born safely and entered the palace, Concubine Wen, Concubine Wang, and Concubine Xia were all fine. But it was Concubine Wu who lost her baby.
Moreover, she died when neither he nor the queen knew that Wu was pregnant.
It's inevitable that one would think that if it had been told earlier and the baby had been carefully cared for, miscarriage would not have occurred.
"You are still young, and you will have more children. Right now, taking good care of your health is the top priority. You don't have to pay your respects to the Queen this month. Just rest well. I will visit you often." Ning Chen comforted.
Yi Wanrong was sobbing and waiting anxiously.
Originally, she thought that since she had lost her child for no reason, the emperor should at least promote her. But now it seems that the emperor has no intention of doing so.
In fact, Ning Chen really had no intention of promoting her. He was dissatisfied with Wu in this matter.
In the end, I stayed with her for more than half an hour. Seeing that she was not in good spirits, I rewarded her with a bunch of medicinal herbs and other things and left.
After today's commotion, Ning Chen was very tired and didn't want to approve the memorial anymore. After thinking it over, he went to Concubine Wen's palace.
Concubine Wen was a smart person. When she saw the emperor coming, she knew from his expression that he was unhappy.
So she didn't ask anything, just chatted with people about trivial matters, or asked Ning Chen to look at the handkerchief purses and other things she made every day.
Chatting with Concubine Wen made Ning Chen feel much more comfortable. In the end, he stayed for dinner, but slept in the side hall. The two of them rested separately.
