Chapter 268 Mission: Impossible
The emperor sat beside Huimin in silence. "Such a big thing happened to you. Hongyao and the others are worried. I will give them half a day off so that they can spend some time with you."
"Min'er, take good care of yourself."
The Emperor called over Doctor Wang, who was standing by, and said, "Take good care of the Imperial Concubine."
Doctor Wang was trembling and didn't dare to look the emperor in the eye.
The emperor immediately realized something was wrong, "What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, the Queen's miscarriage..."
The emperor looked at Doctor Wang's timid appearance and was impatient, "What's wrong?"
Doctor Wang made up his mind and closed his eyes.
"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the pregnancy-preserving medicine that your Majesty is taking."
"what?"
The emperor was shocked and angry, "What's going on?"
"Isn't this the medicine you prescribed?"
Doctor Wang trembled with fear, "Your Majesty, I just wrote a prescription for your Majesty to replenish her body. I checked the medicine you used today and found that the residue..."
Doctor Wang looked so bad that he seemed to faint. "The medicine your majesty prescribed clearly contains drugs to promote blood circulation and dissolve blood stasis. If you continue to take it, the fetus will be in danger."
"Moreover, this medicine will weaken your health and make it difficult for you to get pregnant again."
Doctor Wang's face was covered in cold sweat and he didn't dare to look at the emperor's expression.
"There's nothing wrong with this prescription, but with these herbs added, the effect is very different."
"The queen's body..."
The emperor's face turned livid.
"Check it. Check it carefully for me."
"I want to see who has the guts to murder my imperial concubine."
But as soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Meng asked for a meeting, saying that she had important matters to discuss with the emperor.
The emperor already disliked Concubine Meng because she had committed a serious mistake. Even after such a big thing happened, she still had the nerve to ask for a meeting.
If Concubine Meng had not been pregnant with the dragon child, the emperor would have dealt with her long ago.
"Tell her to go back to Changchun Palace."
But Huimin forced herself to stand up.
"Your Majesty, please meet Lady Meng. I also want to know why she is like this..."
"Besides, I am the Imperial Concubine. It is my duty to assist His Majesty in managing the six palaces. I cannot let personal matters interfere with public affairs."
Seeing Huimin being so sensible, the emperor was not moved at all.
Moreover, Huimin was still lying in bed, extremely weak, and the emperor felt guilty.
"Min'er..."
"It's okay, Shiro."
"it is good."
"Since you want to see her, I'll let her in."
When Concubine Meng came in, Doctor Li followed behind her.
"emperor."
Lady Meng fell to her knees.
Concubine Meng knew that no matter how much she defended herself, she could not change the accusation against the Imperial Concubine, so she simply avoided the main point, passed over the matter lightly, and turned the topic to something that was beneficial to her.
If this plan succeeds and arouses the emperor's suspicion, there will be room for maneuver.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to make the decision."
"Someone wants to harm me and the baby in my belly."
The emperor felt disgusted when he saw Concubine Meng's hypocritical look.
"Harming your child?"
Don’t you want to use your child to overthrow the Imperial Concubine?
Didn’t you kill the Imperial Concubine’s child?
Who is going to harm your child?
Are you talking about yourself?
The emperor was about to question, but when he thought that Su Peisheng had not found any evidence, he held back.
But Concubine Meng seized the opportunity.
"Your Majesty, I have been feeling nauseous and having trouble sleeping these days. I also have occasional abdominal pains, but I discovered that it is..."
Concubine Meng looked at Huimin.
The emperor noticed Concubine Meng's gaze and his eyes turned cold.
"You suspect the Imperial Concubine?"
"The Imperial Concubine lost her child because of you, but you are accusing her of this!"
The emperor was furious and slapped Concubine Meng hard.
Concubine Meng looked at the emperor in disbelief, pursing her lips tightly to suppress the fear in her heart.
Take a quick breath to calm yourself down.
"emperor……"
"She just lost her baby, because of you!"
The emperor looked at Concubine Meng and laughed out of anger.
"Since you say that, what evidence do you have?"
Lady Meng suppressed her reluctance and said, "Doctor Li."
Imperial Physician Li then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the lilies in Concubine Meng's yard are harmful to women. In severe cases, they can cause miscarriage. It's not a big deal for ordinary pregnant women, but Concubine Meng is weak on weekdays."
"lily?"
"Lilies are non-toxic and have the effects of nourishing the lungs, clearing the mind and calming the nerves. It's possible that the palace maids in the flower room didn't know about sending them."
The emperor said calmly.
"But this is about the heir to the throne, so we can't be careless. Since Lady Meng thinks there's a problem, go investigate."
The emperor gave instructions to Xiao Xiazi.
"Go to the greenhouse and find out the whole story."
This matter has become more and more extensive.
Everyone in the palace is paying attention. The Imperial Concubine has lost her child and has difficulty getting pregnant again. This is a big deal.
Moreover, Concubine Meng still refused to give in and would not let the Imperial Concubine go.
The emperor investigated the matter thoroughly and indeed found some strange things.
The flowers sent to Concubine Meng were indeed specially ordered by someone.
Anyone who had interfered in this matter was taken to Chengqian Palace.
The emperor's face turned livid.
Shan'er, the little palace maid in the flower room, was the one who delivered lilies to Concubine Meng.
The manager of the greenhouse was also implicated behind her.
The steward cried out that he was wronged and said that it was Qingrou, who was beside the imperial concubine, who had given the order specifically.
This is incredible. He is really someone close to the Imperial Concubine.
Next, there is a personal certificate.
Concubine Meng looked at Huimin sadly, "Royal Concubine, why did you want to kill my child?"
The emperor also looked at Huimin with a scrutinizing gaze, but Huimin was not panicked.
At this moment, Qingrou fell to her knees.
"My lord, didn't you say that if I worked for you, you would keep me alive?"
"How can you go back on your word?"
Lady Meng seemed to have not expected Qingrou to say this, "What are you talking about?"
Qingrou stared at Concubine Meng with hatred.
"You said that after the matter is done, as long as the imperial concubine's child is gone, you will give me enough silver to let me leave the palace."
Looking at Qingrou's red eyes, Meng Guiren was completely panicked. "You... you are the Imperial Concubine's person, why are you trying to get close to me and work for me? Are you trying to use your last bit of value to drag me down with you?"
Qingrou stared at Concubine Meng, her eyes full of hatred that didn't seem fake.
"You threatened me back then, young lady. You said you knew I was the queen's man, and that if I stayed with the imperial concubine, I would be exposed one day. I might as well work for you. After the work is done, you can send me out of the palace, and I and my family will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."
"you……"
How dare you betray me? But Concubine Meng swallowed the rest of the words.
Suddenly, Concubine Meng understood everything.
