Hai Dongqing walked out with the imperial edict in his hand with a sullen face. When he arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he kicked the door open and sat on the dragon throne angrily.

His eyes slightly closed, his fingers tightly gripped the piece of paper, with such force that he seemed to want to tear the imperial edict off.

Slowly he loosened his hand, spread out the imperial edict, and looked at the translucent handwriting. A cold curve appeared between his lips.

"film"

"emperor."

"Spread a message to all the concubines who have had miscarriages. Tell them that the reason they had miscarriages was all caused by the Concubine Dowager! The fragrance of the orchid grass from the Western Regions is the medicine!"

"Yes!"

As the secret guard disappeared, a dark and vicious smile appeared on Hai Dongqing's face.

"Concubine Wu, don't blame me. You forced me to do this! You dared to threaten me, so you will have to bear the consequences! I want to see whether the Wu family will protect themselves or you under the criticism of all the ministers!"

"Somebody come!"

"emperor"

"How is Concubine Zhang?"

"Your Majesty, she has woken up, but now she knows she has miscarried. She is crying her heart out and shouting that she wants to kill the queen for revenge!"

Hai Dongqing raised a lonely and cold smile on his lips and said in a deep voice: "Go to Wenxian Palace."

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!" Concubine Zhang was crying uncontrollably, and when she saw Haidongqing coming in with a sullen face, she immediately rushed over to her with all her might.

"Hurry up and help the virtuous concubine up. Is this how you serve her?" Hai Dongqing moved away inconspicuously and cursed at the palace maids and eunuchs.

Several palace maids immediately rushed forward and supported Concubine Zhang, but her hand fell before it even touched Shanghai Dongqing.

Hai Dongqing sat on the chair beside the bed and said softly, "Don't be sad, go lie down on the bed first. This abortion is also a miscarriage. If you don't take good care of it, it will affect your next pregnancy."

Concubine Zhang originally wanted to act coquettishly and complain to Haidongqing about her grievances, but after hearing his words, she did not dare to be negligent and immediately lay down on the bed obediently. Although the child was gone, she was still hoping for the next one.

"Your Majesty, you have to be the master of this subject. It was the Queen who pushed me down."

She lay down on the bed and said bitterly.

"Really? But I found out that it's not the case."

Concubine Zhang was shocked and a look of panic appeared on her face. She fainted and had no idea what had happened afterwards. She didn't know what the palace maids and eunuchs had said. When she woke up and found that she had lost the dragon fetus, she has been crying ever since.

"No, Your Majesty, they must have deceived you. It was the Queen who pushed me down, and every time I tried to climb up, I was pushed down by that bitch Ruyi. Otherwise, how could I have lost my dragon fetus? Your Majesty, you must severely punish the murderer this time!"

"It's not that I don't believe you, but someone has proved that you fell into the water by yourself."

"Who? Who is talking nonsense and confusing right and wrong? I want him to come and confront me too!" Concubine Zhang's eyes flashed with ferocity. If she knew who dared to speak such nonsense, she would tear that person's mouth apart.

"My mother said it herself. She said she saw you chasing the queen and then you slipped into the river. Ruyi rushed to save you, but it was too late." Hai Dongqing smiled faintly, with a malicious and sinister look in his eyes.

"The Concubine Dowager?" Concubine Zhang screamed in shock, confusion flashing in her eyes. Why? Why did the Concubine Dowager help the Queen? Didn't the Concubine Dowager hate the Queen?

Hai Dongqing gave her an unfathomable look before asking, "Have you ever offended my mother?"

"Offended the Dowager Consort?" Concubine Zhang frowned and thought for a long time, then shook her head and said, "I have always been faithful to my duty and respectful to the Dowager Consort. I don't even have time to please her on weekdays. How could I possibly offend her? I dare not even delay her words, let alone other things."

"That's strange. Why did your mother..." He stopped talking abruptly, feeling a little embarrassed as if he had said something wrong. He pretended to be calm and said, "Xianfei, you miscarried. I am deeply saddened. I know you are even more sad, so I came to see you."

If Hai Dongqing had said these words on normal days, she would have been delighted. However, when she heard the half-sentenced words just now, her heart suddenly turned cold. It reminded her of the strange miscarriage last time.

She struggled and fell to her knees, knocking her head loudly, saying, "No, Your Majesty, for the sake of our past kindness, you must tell me what caused my miscarriage last time."

Hai Dongqing dodged his gaze and said, "You are overthinking. It is because you did not rest well and caused miscarriage. Alas, I thought you were pregnant this time, and I would have double happiness, but I didn't expect that you still lost the pregnancy. Mother... "

"Could it be that the Concubine Dowager was behind this?" Concubine Zhang suddenly cried out in shock. Although she insisted that it was Mo Lishang who pushed her into the water, she actually knew that it was the pain between her legs that caused her to fall into the water. She also vaguely remembered that Rushi did come to save her, but every time she was about to touch Rushi's hand, a force pushed her away. The reason why she said that it was the Queen who pushed her into the water was that since her child was gone, she would definitely frame the Queen and use the power of the court ministers to send the Queen to the cold palace. By then, it would be hard to explain what happened in the cold palace. Even if she was going to give birth, it might be dead, right?

However, when she heard Hai Dongqing's inadvertent words, she suddenly became suspicious. The truth was relatively more attractive than overthrowing Mo Lishang. You know, if she gave birth to a dragon son as her first child, there would be no need for Mo Lishang to be the queen, not to mention that even if Mo Lishang gave birth to a child, he would not be the eldest prince.

So what she hates even more now is the person who made her lose her children again and again.

At this time, Hai Dongqing said sternly, "Shut up, how can you doubt mother without any basis? Have you forgotten who mother is? Mother is from the Wu family. You know that words can cause trouble. Mother may not do anything bad to me because of family affection, but it will be bad for you and your Zhang family. Why are you so confused?"

Although every word Haidongqing said was in defense of Concubine Wu, it only confirmed Concubine Zhang's guess. She was heartbroken and filled with hatred. She glanced at Haidongqing, who was evasive, and felt extremely disappointed.

She was not a fool. She knew that although Hai Dongqing was the emperor, he did not actually have much power. All power was in the hands of the four major families and the Wu family. So even if it was done by Concubine Wu, Hai Dongqing would not seek justice for her. She could only swallow this loss herself.

Thinking of this, her heart became even colder, and she said tiredly: "Your Majesty, I am a little tired and want to rest first."

"Oh, good, you have a good rest. Someone, come and tell me that I want to send the ten thousand year old and thousand year old Ganoderma lucidum in the warehouse to Concubine Zhang to replenish her body. Tell them that as long as Concubine Zhang needs medicine, she can be sent without reporting to me."

Concubine Zhang sneered in her heart, feeling extremely sad. What was this? Compensation? In her opinion, this move was more of a sign of guilt, and it was Hai Dongqing's move to cover up for his mother.

Etiquette cannot be abolished, so she still expressed gratitude on the surface: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Well, you should have a good rest and don't be too sad. You will have children in the future. As long as my heart is with you, your wish will come true. When you are better, I will discuss with the queen and promote your position. Don't let your imagination run wild..."

Hai Dongqing walked to Concubine Zhang's side humbly and gently, tucked in the quilt for her considerately, then shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of apology.

Concubine Zhang remained silent, with a somewhat dazed expression, but her heart was actually in turmoil.

Only after Hai Dongqing left did she suddenly say in a stern voice: "Go and find out about the situation in the Cining Palace!"

Then he ordered Xi'er beside him: "Invite my father to the palace quickly!"

"Yes"

After a while, someone who was asking about the situation in the Cining Palace came in hurriedly and whispered a few words to Concubine Zhang Xian. Concubine Zhang Xian's face immediately showed a miserable look. She picked up the jade pillow on the bed and smashed it hard on Zhi, shouting miserably: "Concubine Wu, I will never let you go!"

After saying that, he burst into tears.

At this time, Zhang Jun hurried in. He was so angry that he was shaking all over and said, "My queen, how could this happen? Who is it? Who is so vicious? I will make her pay with blood!"

"Dad..." Concubine Zhang cried bitterly with tears streaming down her face, "This is all the trick of that vicious woman, that bitch from the Wu family! She has harmed me time and time again!"

Zhang Junxian was anxious and angry when he heard that Concubine Zhang had miscarried. This was nothing less than a trump card. As long as she got pregnant, no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, he would have a way to make the fetus a prince. But now it was miscarried. What was lost was not a fetus, but his hope, his lifelong ambition, his plan! How could he not be angry, hate, and be angry?

This is like seeing a ripe fruit that you can eat right before your eyes, but someone kicks it away. Isn't that depressing? Wouldn't it make him vomit blood?

However, he was also an old and cunning man. Although he hated Empress Dowager Wu in his heart, he would not lose his sense of propriety. After all, Empress Dowager Wu was a member of the Wu family and represented the interests of the Wu family. If he became an enemy of Concubine Dowager Wu, he would be making an enemy of the Wu family.

So he had to find out the whole story, so he asked tentatively: "Xian'er, who told you this? Did the emperor tell you?"

Concubine Zhang was moved and almost wanted to say that the emperor had blurted it out, but when she thought of her father's caution and his passion for power, she thought that he might shirk the responsibility for his own sake and say that the emperor wanted to use the power of the Zhang family to suppress the Wu family. Then she would never be able to avenge the two times her son was taken away from her.

Thinking of this, hatred filled her chest, and she said bitterly: "Who told you that? I only found out about this after secretly asking someone to find out. Daddy, I was kept in the dark by Concubine Wu, this vicious woman. I was so respectful to her, but I didn't expect that she was the murderer who caused me to lose my child!"

Seeing Zhang Jun's hesitant look, Concubine Zhang Xian gave another strong prescription, saying, "Not only is it my daughter, but all the concubines' miscarriages were caused by the Concubine Dowager!"

"What?" Zhang Jun was really shocked this time, and asked anxiously, "Is there any evidence?"

"Evidence?" Concubine Zhang's face turned pale, she was extremely sad, and she kept crying: "Speaking of evidence, even Daddy has seen the culprit who caused my miscarriage! It's a pity that Daddy praised it highly at that time, but he didn't expect that this thing would be a poison that would ruin his daughter's lifelong happiness..."

"What did you say? Are you talking about the fragrance of orchid grass?"

"That's right!" Concubine Zhang gnashed her teeth, her face was extremely miserable. She stretched out her cold hands and grabbed Zhang Jun, begging, "Daddy, you must help me avenge this time, okay? If it weren't for this old hag causing my daughter to have an abortion, my daughter would have been the queen and would have given birth to the prince. Do you think our Zhang family would have let her go? If our daughter was the queen, would our Zhang family still be trampled upon by the Wu family like this? Daddy..."

Concubine Zhang didn't stay in the palace for nothing, and she didn't become Zhang Jun's daughter for nothing. She knew very well that her daughter was a stepping stone and a chess piece for Zhang Jun, but power was what this father cared about the most. Her words just now stimulated Zhang Jun. If it weren't for Concubine Wu, the Zhang family would have been powerful long ago. How could they still be in the situation they are today?

This aroused Zhang Jun's hatred. Thinking of the other concubines, he immediately had a plan in mind. However, he was also a shrewd man. He said to Concubine Zhang: "Are you serious? But as far as I know, orchid fragrance is non-toxic."

"Orchid incense is non-toxic and can calm the nerves and nourish the fetus, but when combined with orchid powder, it becomes a good medicine for miscarriage!" Concubine Zhang looked at Zhang Jun with a cold and ruthless gaze: "Daddy will not forget that after the emperor favored that concubine, that old woman showed kindness to everyone and gave orchid incense to everyone, saying that orchid incense was most useful for miscarriage. At that time, everyone was very rare and treated it as a treasure and was reluctant to use it. They all waited until they got pregnant to use it for miscarriage. Who would have thought that this was not a medicine for miscarriage, but a poison for miscarriage!"
