Miss Li was startled, clenched her fists, kept her head down, and stood in the least conspicuous place among the crowd.

"What does the Queen mean?" Murong Yue frowned in displeasure and said nervously.

"Someone brought something into Yaoguang Palace that shouldn't be brought in. Naturally, we have to check who has this thing on them." Zheng Xiyan's sharp eyes swept over everyone in the palace, and finally fell on Murong Yue and Concubine Li.

The Queen Mother said coldly: "What the Queen said makes sense, someone come here."

Although Lady Li felt guilty, she was not afraid at all because the thing had been moved away long ago.

The body search was definitely not for the concubines in the palaces. This kind of thing must be on the palace maids.

"Someone, search me."

"Yes!"

After Concubine Yi was sent to the side hall, her abdominal pain became more and more severe. She clenched her teeth and her clothes were soaked with sweat. The imperial doctors rushed over and after a diagnosis, they reported to Xiao Xuanchen with a serious face: "Concubine Yi has a miscarriage. I'm afraid... I'm afraid she may have a miscarriage."

"Miscarriage?" Xiao Xuanchen's face turned pale, unable to accept it.

"Yes..." the imperial physician replied carefully.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Concubine Yi cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face, and stretched out her hand to him.

Xiao Xuanchen came over, held her hand, and said with a look of heartache, "I'm here."

"Your Majesty, our child, our child..." Concubine Yi cried bitterly, screamed coldly, wailed in despair, her eyes full of bloodshot.

"Shao'er..." Xiao Xuanchen felt very uncomfortable. He held her hand tightly, his eyes as if his heart was broken and his soul was gone.

"what……"

Yaoguang Hall

All the palace servants were searched, but nothing was found. Nanny Yu walked up to the Queen Mother and said, "Your Majesty, we found nothing."

The Queen Mother looked at them one by one. Everyone's expression was so wonderful. She had seen this kind of thing too many times. She said coldly, "There is really no peace in this harem."

Murong Yue was still asking for trouble at this time, and said, "Empress Dowager, maybe this is an accident. Concubine Yi herself is unlucky and cannot keep the child."

"Is Concubine Yi unlucky?" The Empress Dowager stared at her sharply, her face looking very bad.

Die Yun's face changed drastically, her eyes were filled with panic, and she quickly tugged at her sleeves, whispering, "My Lady, please stop talking."

"Queen! What do you think?" The Queen Mother turned to look at Zheng Xiyan.

Zheng Xiyan bowed quickly and said in a deep voice: "Mother, please calm down. This happened and I am also to blame. Please forgive me."

The Queen Mother would not blame her for this. "You are pregnant, so it is inevitable that you are unable to handle the affairs of the harem. This matter has nothing to do with you."

"Thank you, mother." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Xian again. Concubine Xian had her head lowered, feeling uncontrollably anxious.

"Xian Fei, what do you think?" the Empress Dowager asked solemnly.

Xian Fei knelt on the ground and said hurriedly: "Queen Dowager, it's not me, it's really not me. How could I possibly frame Concubine Yi?"

Lady Li knew that she had to pin the blame on Concubine Xian so that no one would suspect her. "When your Majesty was on his way to Chonghua Palace, he was intercepted by a maid from Yihua Palace. Your Majesty went to Yihua Palace instead. I'm afraid Concubine Xian must have hated Concubine Yi since then!"

Xianfei tried her best to refute, "No! Queen Mother, it's really not me, you must believe me. Previously, your majesty and the queen asked me to organize the New Year's Eve banquet, and I repeatedly declined because I was worried that I would fail to do my job well and betray your majesty and the queen's trust. Today's matter really has nothing to do with me, please understand, Queen Mother."

Zheng Xiyan glanced at Lady Li with an impatient look, "Mother, I thought Concubine Xian would not be so stupid as to harm someone at the New Year's Eve banquet. This is too obvious, isn't it?"

At this time, the imperial physician came from the side hall, knelt in front of the empress dowager, and reported: "Empress Dowager, Empress, the dragon fetus in Concubine Yi's belly could not be saved."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes lightly, and Zheng Xiyan supported her, "Mother!"

"Two children have been lost in the palace in a row. Check, check for me!" the Empress Dowager shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Yes."

Concubine Xian collapsed to the ground. Concubine Yi's child was gone. If she couldn't find out who did it, it would be difficult for her to clear herself of suspicion. What should she do?

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, it really wasn't me who did it. You must believe me." Concubine Xian knelt straight and said with a firm look in her eyes.

Murong Yue sneered, "Xian Fei! You are too cruel. Concubine Yi is pregnant, why are you bothering with her?"

"Noble Concubine Rong, this was not done by me, please do not frame me."

Zheng Xiyan looked at Wen Chongyi. Wen Chongyi was standing far away. Although she knew the truth, she did not intend to say it out because she had no evidence. Her one-sided statement alone was not convincing at all.

In this palace, it is better to keep a low profile and protect yourself.

Lady Li and Xu Chongyuan stood together. Lady Li said softly, "This should not have been done by Concubine Xian!"

"What does it matter whether it is her or not? As long as Your Majesty and the Queen Mother think it was her who did it, then it was her who did it." Xu Chongyuan replied indifferently.

"makes sense."

The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Xian. Although there was no solid evidence to prove that it was Concubine Xian who did it, this matter was ultimately due to Concubine Xian's negligence, which allowed someone to take advantage of the opportunity. If she was not punished, it would be hard to convince the public.

"Someone come! First confine Concubine Xian to Chonghua Palace, and make a decision after the matter is thoroughly investigated." The Empress Dowager said coldly.

"Yes!"

Xian Fei panicked, "Your Majesty, it's really not me. I am innocent."

After such a commotion, the Queen Mother was exhausted and said to Zheng Xiyan, "I am exhausted. I will leave the rest to the Queen. I will return to Shoukang Palace first."

"Your son obeys your command and respectfully sends your mother off."

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."

At this time, Shen Aoning rushed to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, please let me see the Third Princess. I beg you."

At this time in Yaoguang Palace, all clan members and ministers had left, leaving only the concubines.

"Queen Dowager, I know that I have committed a grave sin, but I am also a mother who misses her daughter. I beg you to allow me to see my daughter. I beg you."

Shen Aoning kowtowed repeatedly, and then Xi Muyao came over and knelt down, "Queen Dowager, I also beg you to allow me to see the princess."

The Queen Mother thought for a moment, but finally softened her heart and said, "Forget it."

"Queen!"

"Your son is here." Zheng Xiyan walked forward.

"Let Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu go to Shou'an Palace to meet the two princesses." The Empress Dowager instructed. It was New Year's Day and she didn't want to cause too much disturbance.

"Yes, your son obeys your command." Zheng Xiyan had no choice but to compromise.
