After hearing this, Concubine Duan nodded. She thought that what the Queen said might not be entirely credible, so she decided to listen to what the imperial physician said.

After a moment's pause, Zhang Mi came out from the inner hall, but his expression did not seem like he was announcing good news.

She knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Fang gave birth to a child. It's a prince."

"Hahaha." The emperor laughed, and everyone's hearts suddenly relaxed.

The emperor was just about to get off bed to see the child when he was stopped by Zhang Mi.

"emperor."

"Doctor Zhang, what happened?" the Queen said.

It’s not that Zhang Mi doesn’t know etiquette, it’s just that the emperor really can’t go in there.

Zhang Mi lowered his head even more, almost sticking to the ground: "Your Majesty, I am so sad. Concubine Fang gave birth to a stillborn baby."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone in the room changed.

At this time, Concubine Duan also understood why Nian Shilan asked her to pay attention to the child. She never expected that the child born by Concubine Fang would be a stillbirth.

That year, Empress Chunyuan also gave birth to a stillborn baby.

Regarding the same stillbirth, Concubine Duan now doesn’t know whether it was the Queen’s doing.

"What? Doctor Zhang, this is about the Dragon Descendant, how can you talk nonsense?!" The Queen shouted loudly, then turned to look at the Emperor's expression, which darkened again, and he seemed even calmer and composed than before.

Doctor Zhang was naturally so frightened that he dared not raise his head: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know that the matter of the Dragon Offspring is a serious matter, and I dare not speak nonsense."

The emperor stopped on his way to the inner hall and sat back on the couch, wanting to see what happened today!

"Back then, Queen Chunyuan gave birth to a stillborn baby, and now Concubine Fang has too! Could it be that my child won't even survive to be born?!"

The emperor roared and threw the bracelet heavily onto the table.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Everyone knelt down.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he finally had a child, but now it's a stillbirth. The emperor is bound to be angry, and no one dares to speak now.

"Zhang Mi, bring the Fifth Prince out."

Since it is his own child, even though it is stillborn, the emperor still wants to see it to see if it is the same as Chun Yuan back then.

"Your Majesty, you'd better not look at it, it's really true."

The child was premature and was already skinny, with little flesh on his body. Moreover, it was a stillbirth, which made him even uglier in appearance. In order to avoid frightening the emperor, Zhang Mi kindly advised.

"I must see it! Su Peisheng!"

Since Zhang Mi was not going, the emperor had no choice but to give orders to Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng knew the emperor's temper. Even if he tried to dissuade him, it would be useless. It might even make the emperor angry. It would be better for him to do as the emperor ordered as soon as possible.

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, although Eunuch Su is a eunuch, he is still a man. There is no way he can do a job like holding a baby. Why don't you let me do it?" Concubine Duan suggested.

If Su Peisheng had carried the baby out, he would definitely not have gone in to take a closer look as I did personally.

"Aren't you afraid?"

The emperor asked in return, saying that it was commendable that Concubine Duan, a woman, dared to go in.

"I'm not afraid. He's just a child, and he's pitiful. If he's alive, he'll be the apple of his parents' eyes." Concubine Duan's eyes were firm, and then they became lonely.

She also truly loves children. In the harem, no matter how the adults fight, the children are innocent after all. But even so, this little life still has to bear the consequences.

Concubine Duan really feels sorry for every little life that cannot come into this world.

"Okay, let's go."

Since Concubine Duan was willing to go, the Emperor had no objection and went with her.

However, the Queen couldn't understand it. This was an unlucky job, so why would anyone be rushing to do it? Could it be that Concubine Duan knew something?

Concubine Duan has been with the emperor for many years and has now been promoted to the position of concubine. It seems that she has some skills.

As soon as she entered the inner hall, Concubine Duan saw Concubine Fang lying on the bed, dying. The newborn baby was covered with a thin quilt and placed aside.

Concubine Fang had just given birth, and the room was filled with a smell of blood mixed with amniotic fluid, which was very unpleasant. If someone with a bad stomach smelled this, they would probably vomit.

Concubine Duan walked to the bed, considerately tucked the quilt for Concubine Fang, and then walked aside to check on the child.

The moment I lifted the quilt, the scene in front of me seemed like something I had seen before. This scene was very familiar.

That memory, which had been there for many years, now resurfaced in Concubine Duan's mind.

Isn't the condition of this child the same as the child born by Queen Chunyuan?! It seems that the murderer is already very clear, but there is no evidence.

Looking at the child in front of her, Concubine Duan breathed a sigh of relief and carried the child out.

"emperor."

Looking at the child in front of him, although he did not dote on Concubine Fang very much, this child was his own flesh and blood after all. It was impossible to say that he did not feel sorry for her at all.

I was looking forward to the birth of a new life in a few months, but now it is lying here coldly.

The emperor lifted the quilt, and when he saw the child, he was startled and stunned for a long time.

The queen also pretended to be serious and said, "This child! How could it be! He is the same as the second prince born to my sister!"

The queen naturally knew what was going on.

The emperor was silent, without saying a word, and walked away with his head down. Perhaps he remembered the child he had with Chun Yuan, and Chun Yuan died because of that child.

The emperor left, and the queen followed him out. All the people who had gathered in Suiyuxuan also dispersed.

Concubine Duan gave the child to Imperial Doctor Zhang and went to Yikun Palace.

"Sister? So soon? Are you giving birth?" Seeing Concubine Duan coming, Nian Shilan asked hurriedly.

Concubine Duan's face didn't look very good, but that was normal. Concubine Duan liked children, so she naturally felt uncomfortable seeing such a scene.

"I saw it. Do you know?! That child is exactly like the second prince born to Queen Chunyuan! There are blue and purple birthmarks of varying sizes on his body. He was born dead. How pitiful."

The birthmark was the same as the one born to Queen Chunyuan. Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan knew how the child died.

Isn't this what Yixiu did?! Yixiu killed her own sister in the same way, and it's the same now.

"Did the Emperor say anything?"

"No, maybe the emperor was sad because the child was gone, so he just took a look and left." Concubine Duan said again.

Now that the child was dead, the Queen was really pleased. This Concubine Fang was originally recommended by the Queen Mother and came from a prominent family, so she was also a threat to her. If she really gave birth to a child, she would become more honored as a mother and that would make things even more difficult.
