Rebirth Of the Vicious Empress - C132
“Maybe I’m being paranoid.” Chu Qinghuan laughed self-deprecatingly, but the cloth was stained with something that shouldn’t be there, it was extremely suspicious.
Grand Princess did not say anymore, but just as she was about to go in, he saw Du Dequan running over breathlessly, “Grand Princess, His Majesty has an urgent matter to speak with you.”
Grand Princess was startled for a moment, then asked: “Shouldn’t you be accepting worships for your subjects? Why did you suddenly summon me here? ”
Du Dequan was startled for a moment. Seeing that Grand Princess seemed to be insistent, he said in a low voice: “It’s King of Xinbei.”
Chu Qinghuan heard it clearly, and saw that the Grand Princess’s face instantly turned pale white, and hurriedly supported her up: “It’s fine, you can go in first, Manager Du, let’s go.”
When Du Dequan mentioned the King of Xinbei, all of the changes in Grand Princess’s expression in that instant were all seen by him. Chu Qinghuan could not help but sigh silently, she had originally thought that the Grand Princess had been put down, but now, it seemed that she had overthought it.
After all, she was the person he had entrusted that year to. After all, it was that person who had wasted his entire life. How could she let it go so easily?
“Why, are you still not entering Second Miss Chu?”
Chu Qinghuan could not help but turn to look, only to see Huangfu Wushuang smiling, and looking at him, “A few days ago, I was too rash, and did not manage my servants properly, I hope Second Miss does not mind.”
As if a wild cat had retracted its claws, Chu Qinghuan couldn’t help but laugh. The current Huangfu Wushuang was the interesting one, and was the one who had the qualifications to make him waste her breath.
“Princess, what are you talking about? He’s just a blind person, why would you put his in your heart?”
Her words more or less contained some ridicule towards Huangfu Wushuang, but the latter didn’t seem to understand, and upon hearing it, seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden, “Qian Er is right, Second Miss is indeed magnanimous.”
Huangfu Yunqian? The alarm in Chu Qinghuan’s heart rang. What could this involve Huangfu Yunqian? On the other hand, as if nothing had happened, Huangfu Wushuang entered the side hall with him.
“These are the delicate ears that I ordered the imperial dining room to make. There are actually some small gadgets hidden inside, and I don’t know who’s the lucky one, but you should be careful when eating.”
This was the old rules of the palace, and many of the concubines knew this. Empress Liu seemed to have said these words to Chu Qinghuan, because everyone present were the old faces that went to visit last year, and she was the only one who was new.
“Ah, Empress, you ate red dates.”
Everyone looked over when they heard what she said, only to see Zhuang Shufei speaking with a helpless expression, “Empress, please forgive us. Dong Mei has always made a fuss about nothing, she has truly caused everyone to laugh.”
When she saw the red dates sticking out of Zhuang Shufei’s plate, she could not help but say with a smile, “If little sister Su Fei has eaten the dates, could it be that she will have another son like little sister Xian Consort? “Then our palace will be bustling with noise and excitement.”
Zhuang Shufei looked at Xian Consort, who was sitting right next to her, and could not help but laugh: “How could chenqie be as lucky as little sister Xian Consort. Eh, little sister Xian Consort ate Gui Yuan?”
Gui Yuan? Not good! Chu Qinghuan held the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and stared straight at Empress Liu. She thought that this was only Huangfu Wushuang’s method, she just did not expect that Empress Liu would participate as well.
Ah!” “It is not suitable to nurture a fetus because of its hot nature. Pregnant women are not allowed to eat it!” It was unknown which low level concubine had spoken, but the smile on the Concubine Xian’s face stiffened as the jade scroll in her hands fell to the ground, shattering into several pieces.
Empress Liu’s expression immediately changed, “I wonder if Concubine Xian is pregnant? Why did she put a wintery bun in her ears? Go and bring the head eunuch from the royal dining room to me! Why aren’t you going and asking for an imperial physician? ”
For a moment, the side hall was in an uproar. Xian Consort seemed to have gone silly, she tightly held onto her stomach, a strange expression flashed across her face, but she still held onto Empress Liu’s hands tightly: “Empress must take revenge for my son!”
Hearing that, everyone’s expression changed, they looked at Xian Consort, only to see her soft woolen cloak had a patch of red on it.
Ting Yu screamed: “Empress has hit red!”
Immediately, everyone looked even more flustered, but their expressions were all different.
Empress Liu’s face became gloomy, while Liu Cairong beside him became slightly nervous. Noble Consort Chen and Zhuang Shufei both lowered their eyes, and the corners of Zhuang Shufei’s eyes became moist.
On the other hand, Huangfu Wushuang was expressionless, but her gaze was also sizing herself up.
Their gazes met in the air and immediately separated again.
“Empress, the exorbitant wife pays her respects.”
The Empress Liu’s expression changed, and she immediately said: “The celebration cannot be delayed, so we must first hand over this matter to the two sisters, Imperial Concubine and Imperial Concubine. Since the accident occurred with the Xian Consort’s Kunning Palace, then I will have to trouble everyone to wait at the Kunning Palace for a while, and when I return, I will apologize to everyone first.”
This was clearly saying that the one who caused Xian Consort’s miscarriage was one of the wife! She was so sure?
Chu Qinghuan wanted to laugh even more, this move of Empress Liu was not wise, it was simply too eye-catching. However, they were not allowed to speak. The Empress Liu had already left for the main hall, while the imperial physician had delayed his future. There were already some ruckus within the side hall.
A few of the young concubines began to chatter, “Concubine Xian is such a good person, I don’t know who she offended, but she can’t even protect her children anymore.”
Just that when Noble Consort Chen looked over, the quiet concubine immediately shut her mouth and sat upright, as if she was afraid of Noble Consort Chen.
“Imperial Concubine, Imperial Consort Shu, Empress, your concubine once heard my mother say that pregnant women are not allowed to eat fresh cinnamon buns, but eating a small amount is not a problem either. The Gui Yuan in her ears is cooked, and it is not a hot dish. Logically speaking, it should not cause Concubine Xian to slip. ” A concubine dressed in a light green, engraved silk, mud, gold, silver, and cloud pattern satin dress stood up as she spoke softly.
“Then that Zheng Jie Yu is saying that the Xian Consort’s younger sister’s miscarriage and Gui Yuan’s death have nothing to do with each other?” Noble Consort Chen’s tone was indifferent, but it was overbearing.
However, when Zheng Jie Yu heard this, she said unhurriedly: “It can’t be said to be unrelated, since that Gui Yuan is the lead. It’s just that if Concubine Xian were to be contaminated with something else, this ripe Gui Yuan would be even more amazing than fresh Gui Yuan.”
“What is it?” Huangfu Yunqian hurriedly asked, Zheng Jie Yu did not seem to expect that Princess Pingyang would actually be so concerned about the matter of Xian Consort’s miscarriage, she hesitated for a moment and continued: “It’s ephedra.”
“Ephedra?” Huangfu Yunqian couldn’t help but frown, “Ting Yu, has Concubine Xian been in contact with ephedra recently?”
Ting Yu shook her head, “No.” As she was speaking, the imperial physician had already rushed over with a medicine box. Seeing the imperial physician arrive, Noble Consort Chen and Zhuang Shishi both looked as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.
This Imperial Physician Liu was the Imperial Physician Liu who had initially treated Chu Jinxiu. Hearing what the Noble Consort Chen and Zhuang Shufei said, he immediately went to check the pulse of the Xian Consort.
“Is Sister Xian Consort in serious trouble?” As the leader of the Fourth Concubine, Noble Consort Chen broke the silence in the side hall. She furrowed her eyebrows for a while before saying, “This pulse of the Concubine Xian is really strange. This humble servant’s diagnosis has lasted for many years but …” Seeing that everyone did not seem to understand, Imperial Physician Liu hurriedly said: “Concubine Xian and Dragon descendants are fine.”
When these words came out, many families were happy while others were sad!
Noble Consort Chen said with a heavy expression: “Just now, my little sister Xian Consort had obviously seen red, how could she … Could Imperial Physician Liu have been mistaken? ”
Seeing Noble Consort Chen ask such questions, she suddenly said, “Imperial Concubine might not know this, but sometimes, pregnant women can meet a baby, but that does not affect the fetus. Concubine Xian is extremely stable and does not have any major injuries.”
The Noble Consort Chen could not help but nod her head when she heard this, “That’s good, but I heard that the cooked Gui Yuan and Ephedra will also make pregnant women red, I wonder if that’s true?”
No one expected that Noble Consort Chen would suddenly ask such a question, so their gazes all landed on him. However, the Imperial Physician Liu did not understand the reason behind this disagreement and answered: “Indeed, there is a saying. This humble subject has only seen the disorder in the blood vessels and veins of the Concubine Xian a moment ago, perhaps it has something to do with this.”
“How did the women in this palace know about this? Imperial Concubine should be overthinking things. ” Huangfu Wushuang said with a smile.
However, Zhuang Shufei frowned and slowly spoke, “Princess, your words are wrong. Aside from Qian Er, most of the people in this Palace come from the masses. Perhaps, I know from somewhere that this method is not impossible. Xian Consort’s sister was in trouble in this side chamber, if they did not investigate, how would the Empress explain herself to the people of the world? “According to my intentions, it would be best if we did a thorough check.”
The Noble Consort Chen nodded her head and said, “Little Sister Shuangfei and I are thinking the same thing. Since that’s the case, then we should trouble the few people who were in contact with Little Sister Xian Consort to stand out. Don’t wait for others to identify us first, when that time comes, I won’t be able to do anything about it even if I have to admit it.”
The many concubines looked at each other in dismay. How could the low ranking concubines have the mood to find the Xian Consort for a joke? For a moment, not a single person stood forward. Noble Consort Chen’s tone became slightly more serious, “I already said, don’t let me use some of my skills …”
“Imperial Concubine, just now, Qinghuan and Grand Princess had a chat with Concubine Xian.”
Chu Qinghuan walked over and said while staring straight at Noble Consort Chen, “As for the content of your words, only Grand Princess, Concubine Xian and Qing Huan know about it.”
When it came to Grand Princess, he frowned slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhuang Shufei say, “Eh, the handkerchief in Second Miss Chu’s hand is so exquisite, it looks a little familiar.”
“This …” Chu Qinghuan laughed and said, “When I was speaking with Xian Consort just now, Qing Huan was envious of Concubine Xian’s handkerchief for taking a look. Concubine Xian gave it to her as a reward.”
Imperial Physician Liu had no intention to interfere. However, when he saw the embroidered handkerchief, he couldn’t help but frown, and quickly stepped forward to snatch the handkerchief from Chu Qinghuan’s hands. With a serious face, he asked: “Princess, could you tell me why this embroidered handkerchief has been soaked in jute water?”
Hearing this, everyone was surprised, Huangfu Wushuang shouted out, “How is that possible, Concubine Xian is Second Miss Chu’s aunt, why would Qing Huan harm her?”
“I’ve heard that the Princess Qinghuan has always been against the prime minister’s wife. From the looks of it, they’re also trying to strike a blow against the prime minister’s wife …”
For a moment, everyone was discussing among themselves, Huangfu Wushuang’s argument for her seemed to be true, the corners of Chu Qinghuan’s lips were raised, “I said it before, this handkerchief was bestowed to me by the Concubine Xian, how would I know?”
