There are many concubines who have had miscarriages in the palace, including the queen, Xu Zhaorong, Ye Shurong, and some low-ranking concubines. Zhao Chongyi is not the first, nor will it be the last.
The queen never valued any concubine's miscarriage, but this time Zhao Chongyi's miscarriage was not accidental, but artificial. What's more, the emperor favored her and had feelings for the child in her womb, so this time she would not take it lightly like Xu Zhaorong and Ye Shurong. put.
Just as the queen was thinking about it, the emperor waved the teacup on the coffee table to the ground and said with a sullen face: "How can you have a miscarriage. Queen, you are always in charge of the state banquet, haven't you noticed that someone is doing something? Or, you want to be full. Yi's child is gone?!"
"Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged." The queen saw that this matter involved herself, and hurriedly got up and knelt in front of the emperor, "The concubine didn't realize that someone was plotting against Zhao Chongyi. Children, after all, when a child is born, he will also call his concubine a mother, and that is also the child of his concubine."
"Then tell me, why did Zhao Chongyi have a miscarriage?" Feng Jin didn't let the queen get up, and let several other concubines in the house watch the queen kneel on the ground.
"Back to the emperor, the concubine has asked people to check the food and tableware used by Zhao Chongyi. There is no problem with the food used by Zhao Chongyi, but some of the dishes she used are infected with guiwei, peach kernel, elm white skin, and tongcao. , Danpi, aconite and other concoctions, the tables and chairs have also been soaked with drugs. The concubine has already arrested the servants who placed the tables and chairs, and prepared and served meals. I wonder if the emperor sent someone to ask the guilt. "The Queen sneered in her heart, even though she didn't act, there were many people who wanted Zhao Chongyi to have a miscarriage, and this time, I don't know who did it, but she took advantage of the state banquet.
"What a well-thought-out, my harem is really peaceful!" Feng Jin glanced coldly at the other concubines present. The concubines were frightened by the emperor's sight, and unconsciously lowered their heads and dared not look at them.
"Forget it, Empress, get up," the emperor retracted his gaze and snorted: "I leave this matter to you to investigate, I hope you will give me an explanation, the harem is in such a mess, your empress is incompetent, if you can't find out, Let others take care of the affairs of the harem." After speaking, Fu Xiu approached the inner room.
The queen's face turned pale, a queen without real power is not a queen. Even so, the queen still stabilized her figure and followed the emperor into the inner room.
The remaining few concubines looked at each other in dismay, none of them dared to show schadenfreude.
Gao Dezhong glanced at the queen's back sympathetically. The emperor finally couldn't bear the Zhao family anymore. Now he is embarrassed by the empress. I'm afraid that the queen's days in the harem will not return to the past.
Entering the inner room, a repressed cry made Feng Jin pause before walking to the bedside. The fresh and beautiful woman in the past was pale, and the pillow towel under her face was already wet. Seeing this situation, he was slightly taken aback. In his memory, Zhao Chongyi seemed to have never cried. Every time he saw him, he would always show a happy and shy smile, which made him feel at ease when he saw it. Now that Zhao Chongyi has lost his smile and vitality, he finally felt a little pity in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the child is gone, and the concubine didn't take good care of our child." The woman on the bed grabbed his hand, Bai Nen's palm kept shaking, and warm tears fell on the back of his hand, which made people feel a little flustered .
"Our child is gone, the concubine did not give birth to a child for you, the concubine is useless, useless." The voice was suppressed and hoarse, but it was more sad than crying.
Feng Jin stretched out his other hand and took the person into his arms, patted the back in his arms lightly: "Concubine Ai, you will still have children, and we will definitely have children."
The queen who followed in just heard this sentence, and her body swayed slightly. Fortunately, He Yu held her firmly, so no one could see the difference. When she had a miscarriage, the emperor once said such a thing to comfort her, did he say it? Or have you forgotten
Zhuang Luoyan, who was embraced by the emperor in his arms, cried heart-breakingly, as if the world had collapsed. However, the queen felt that this scene was extremely dazzling, and she could not feel the grief of Zhuang Luoyan, so she could not say a word of comfort, so she had to stand quietly and watch the emperor embrace another woman.
Afterwards, Concubine Xian, Concubine Shugui and others who came in saw that the Empress did not speak, and they all stood silently by the side. Listening to Zhuang Luoyan's cries, I can't help but feel the grief of two dead rabbits and foxes. Today, Zhao Chongyi's children can't be saved, so when they have children, will they be able to save them
There are no simple women in the harem. The simple ones fall out of favor or die. The remaining women are destined to fight for the rest of their lives until the final winner is determined.
"Imperial doctor, Zhao Chongyi has injured his body. We need to make up for Zhao Chongyi's body. I hope to see a healthy Zhao Chongyi soon." Feng Jin stroked Zhuang Luoyan's hair, as if to soothe Zhuang. Luo Yan's sadness said, "It's getting late, you all retreat."
"Yes," the queen looked at the emperor's profile with a pale face, and held Heyu's hand out of the Xihe Palace, looking at the fluttering snowflakes, she stopped moving on the chariot, "Heyu, Ben Why does Gong feel so cold today?"
He Yu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Forget it, let's go." The queen sat on the chariot, looked back at the plaque of the Xihe Palace, and slowly closed her eyes.
"Congratulations to see the Empress." After a few people watched the Queen leave, Concubine Shu glanced at Concubine Xian lightly: "Concubine Xian is careful, and she should go to help the Empress to see which servants are bold enough to plan for the royal heirs."
"This is the duty of the concubine. The concubine heard that someone from Concubine Shugui's mother's family was serving as an official in the palace, so she would definitely be able to help ask one or two to share the Queen's worries." Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Shugui with a smile.
Concubine Shu Gui sneered: "I'm incompetent, the Empress is in charge of the harem, where do I need the little skills of my mother's family. It's cold, and it's time for this palace to return to the palace, so let's go first."
"Respectfully send Concubine Shu Gui," Concubine Xian Yingying bowed and watched Concubine Shu Gui leave, then turned to look at the others, "I should return to the palace too, sisters at your own discretion."
"The second prince is alone in the palace at the moment, and I should return," Ning Concubine, who has always been taciturn, smiled and sat on the chariot to leave. In the end, only Concubine Rou and Xu Zhaorong were left.
"It's time for this palace to leave." Concubine Rou looked at Xu Zhaorong with a half-smiling smile: "Tonight's snow scene is not bad, Xu Zhaorong is a nice person, and it's not bad to enjoy the snow scene." After speaking, Yao Yao stepped onto the chariot.
After Concubine Rou left, Xu Zhaorong snorted coldly and returned to her palace without looking back.
Everyone else had already left, and the room gradually became quiet. Feng Jin asked Zhuang Luoyan to lie down and twisted the quilt for her, "I know that you are suffering in your heart, so I will definitely investigate the matter carefully, and give justice to you and your child. "
"Your Majesty, is it because the concubine expects too much to keep the child?" Zhuang Luoyan looked at the emperor sadly, "When the concubine entered the palace, she once made a wish to the Bodhisattva, if she got the emperor's blue eyes, she would be willing to exchange everything for herself. If the concubine hadn't made such a wish, would the child be saved?"
"It's because the concubine is too greedy and too discontented," she reached out and covered her eyes, preventing the emperor from seeing the bitter tears in her eyes. "This child will definitely hate the concubine, the selfishness of the concubine hurt him."
"I don't believe in heaven and earth, I don't believe in gods," Feng Jin took her hand and looked straight into Zhuang Luoyan's eyes, "For me, pampering you is because of yourself, not the protection of gods. If there are gods in this world, Then there will be less pain in the world. I promise that you will still have children, our children. "
Zhuang Luoyan stared at the emperor, suddenly hugged the emperor's medicine, and cried out in pain. It was no longer the suppressed cry, but he was crying, as if to cry away all his sorrow and pain, and like a desperate person. Find your own redemption, and finally you can cry as much as you want.
That night, many people in the harem couldn't sleep.
That night, everyone knew that the emperor comforted Zhao Chongyi until late at night.
Some people hate the emperor's favor for Zhao Chongyi, some are glad that Zhao Chongyi's child is gone, but no matter what, they are careful not to be dragged into the water.
Xihe Palace has been extraordinarily quiet in the past few days, although the emperor, empress dowager and queen have received many rewards.
Zhuang Luoyan sat on the bed and played with a jade Ruyi. Seeing Yun Xi come in with a bowl of medicine, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What happened in the palace in the last two days?"
"Back to the master, the masters in the palace have been extra careful in the past two days. The queen has arrested a lot of servants for interrogation. I heard that two suspicious servants have been caught. Unfortunately, the master behind the scene has not been found out."
Zhuang Luoyan smiled, "This time the queen did her best."
"How can you not be dedicated," Yun Xi poured the medicine into the flowerpot next to her, "The emperor attacked her a lot, and said that if the queen can't find out, she doesn't have to worry about the harem."
Zhuang Luoyan raised his brows slightly. Did the emperor use this incident to attack the queen? She knew that the emperor would attack the Zhao family and the queen sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to happen because of this.
She knew that the emperor was not so simple. On the surface, she pretended to value the child, but she actually took advantage of this opportunity to attack the queen.
The emperor must have expected that she would not be able to keep the child, so she came to such a play. So she used this to gain the emperor's favor and guilt, so why didn't the emperor use this to trick the queen
It's a pity that the people who wanted to calculate the child in her womb and the emperor didn't expect that there was no child in her womb at all.
