Quick Wear: Saving the Sickly and Paranoid Villain

One of Concubine Shu's personal maids said, "If your Majesty wants to go see the lotus, that's fine. The lotus pond is not far from the bedroom. You can just ask more people to go there when the time comes."

Shufei had given birth to a child, so she naturally knew that it was good to take a proper walk. So she called a dozen palace maids and eunuchs to go to the lotus pond together.

Halfway through, Xu Meir saw that there were too many people and wanted to go back to the palace. Shufei tried hard to persuade her to go, as she wanted to take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Xu Meir.

After much hesitation, Xu Meir finally went after Concubine Shu's repeated persuasion.

In the lotus pond, the green lotus leaves are rippling in the wind, and the lotus flowers are standing tall and clean, blooming brightly.

There were more than a dozen palace maids, eunuchs, and guards, surrounding the three concubines.

Feeling the breeze and smelling the sweetness of lotus, Concubine Shu felt much better.

She was some distance away from the guardrail of the lotus pond because she was pregnant. Although there were so many people around her protecting her, she also remembered to protect herself at all times. If she accidentally slipped, it would be terrible.

There are too many people in this palace who want her to be in trouble.

A strong wind blew up the leaves on the side, causing them to fall down. The wind brought the leaves and dust in front of everyone, and everyone closed their eyes unconsciously.

Dust and sand came into Concubine Shu's eyes. She suddenly closed her eyes. At the moment she closed her eyes, a huge force threw her into the lotus pond: "Ah!"

She struggled in the lotus pond, calling for help.

The people above opened their eyes and were all shocked when they saw Concubine Shu fall.

"Empress!" A palace maid lay on the fence and shouted loudly. After seeing Concubine Shu struggling in pain, she jumped down without any hesitation.

Xu Meir recognized that the palace maid who jumped down was one of Concubine Shu's personal maids.

"Xiao Shuang!" another maidservant of Concubine Shu exclaimed, "Quick, go and call someone!"

"Yes." Several eunuchs hurriedly ran away, some called the imperial physician to report to the emperor, and two other eunuchs also jumped into the lotus pond.

Soon Shufei was rescued. She was wet all over and had fainted. Xiaoshuang took off her coat in time and covered her with it.

She looked at Xu Meir solemnly, and there was no respect in her words: "My Lady, I don't know how my Lady has offended you. Why do you want to kill her?"

The surroundings suddenly became eerily quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Meir.

Xu Meier chuckled: "Where's the evidence? Are you just relying on your empty words?"

Xiaoshuang stiffened her neck and said, "I have no evidence, but I saw it!" As she spoke, she turned her gaze to another personal maid with a determined look in her eyes.

Another maidservant hesitated after seeing this. Could it really be the imperial concubine? But what reason did she have to do this? And she used such a low-level method.

Could it be that she was jealous that her queen was favored by His Majesty and that she was pregnant with the prince?

Why would she do such a thing when she knew that His Majesty valued the baby in the Queen's belly so much? Didn't she know that His Majesty was very suspicious of the Prime Minister?

Disbelief flashed across Lady Zhou's large, bright eyes: "Sister, how could you be such a person? No, I don't believe you would do such a thing."

She turned to look at Xiao Shuang: "How dare you, my servant, slander the Imperial Concubine! Someone, drag her out!"

It seemed like this was the first time she did such a thing, and her voice was trembling.

Xiao Shuang glared at him: "Lady Zhou, everyone in the harem knows that you have the best relationship with the Imperial Concubine, so of course you have to protect her!"

Lady Zhou's eyes suddenly sparkled with tears: "No, I, I didn't."

Xiao Shuang was no longer afraid of anything for her madam: "No! How could there be no? Madam Zhou knows exactly what she is thinking!"

At this time, the imperial physician and the female physician also hurried over, and Emperor Jian'an followed closely behind them in a sedan chair.

Behind him was the immortal-looking Crown Prince. The gentle smile that was always on his face disappeared, replaced by anxiety.

As soon as the imperial physician arrived, he hurriedly put a handkerchief under the imperial concubine's pulse. After a while, thin beads of sweat flowed down her forehead.

"What's going on?" Emperor Jian'an asked anxiously, "Why don't you send Concubine Shu to the palace? How can it be seen in public?"

The sweat on the imperial physician's forehead flowed faster. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Jian'an: "Your Majesty, this is what the Concubine Shu said, this is..."

Emperor Jian'an: "What is it? I order you to tell me quickly!"

The imperial physician bowed his head deeply: "This is a sign of miscarriage."

Emperor Jian'an's eyes went dark: "What did you say?!"

The imperial physician gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid the dragon baby in Concubine Shu's belly can't be saved."

"Bang!" Emperor Jian'an kicked him, "Quack! What use do I have for you?! Drag me out and chop me into pieces!"

The imperial physician begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! I have tried my best!"

Emperor Jian'an said coldly: "Cover his mouth."

Soon, the guards covered the doctor's mouth, and he could no longer speak. His eyes were filled with deep despair.

"Go, call all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital here. I don't believe that there is no doctor who can help!"

"You, you, carry Concubine Shu to the bedroom." Emperor Jian'an pointed at two eunuchs who looked tall and strong.

The eunuch agreed and hurriedly helped Concubine Shu up. However, as soon as she stood up a little, blood began to flow out from under the hem of her skirt.

The two eunuchs were shaking violently. They kowtowed desperately as they looked at the blood that was spilling out.

It’s over, Emperor Jian’an thought to himself, this is the prince he has been waiting for for so long!

"Your Majesty, your child is gone. Are you satisfied now?" Xiaoshuang shouted at Xu Meir.

Lu Yuhuai's slender fingers trembled unconsciously, but soon returned to normal.

[Favorability +2, current favorability is 52]

At this time, Emperor Jian'an calmed down instead. He ordered people to carry Concubine Shu to the bedroom and sent guards to guard the door.

He stood beside the lotus pond and said to Xiao Shuang: "What happened? Tell me in detail. If you tell me anything false, I will kill all your clans!"

Xiaoshuang was shaking violently. She bit her lip and told everything she saw.

The Shufei Empress kindly invited the Guifei Empress to appreciate the flowers, but the Guifei Empress took advantage of everyone's inattention and pushed the Shufei Empress into the pond.

Xiao Shuang cried sadly, tears falling down in big drops: "Your Majesty, please make a decision for the queen!"

Emperor Jian'an's anger immediately reached its peak. The prime minister acted arrogantly, and even his daughter followed suit. Who is the emperor? Who is the ruler of a country? !

Emperor Jian'an sneered: "What's your explanation, Concubine?"

Xu Meier stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, why do you say that? I have never done such a thing."

Lu Yuhuai pursed his lips and glanced at Xu Meir imperceptibly.

Emperor Jian'an: "Oh~ If you haven't done it, then I did it."

Xu Meir chuckled: "The maid of the Concubine Shu identified me with her mouth that could confuse right and wrong, but I am different."

"I have evidence that the murderer is someone else."

Emperor Jian'an looked at Xu Meir coldly, as if to see what she could say.
