Yuqiongyin

Inside the Minghua Palace, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it made one feel breathless.

"A bunch of useless people! If you can't even protect a child, what's the point of me keeping you good-for-nothings?"

Wei Ming stood in the center of the hall. His originally handsome face turned dark blue and distorted with anger, and veins bulged on his forehead.

This was his first child! That little life that died before it was born carried so much of his expectations and hopes.

Now that he was gone without any explanation, how could he accept it?

How could I not be furious and angry?

Wei Ming's eyes were red and his hands were clenched into fists. Due to excessive force, the joints had turned white.

Wei Ming waved his sleeves fiercely and shouted, "Come here! Investigate this matter immediately. I want to see who is so bold as to lay hands on my heir!"

His sharp gaze swept across the servants and eunuchs beside him like a knife, frightening them into silence. They knelt on the ground to receive orders, saying that they would do their best to find out who was behind the incident.

Everyone knelt on the ground, and he paced back and forth in the palace anxiously. Every step seemed to be stepping on everyone's heart, heavy and terrifying.

At this moment, a weak voice came from behind the screen: "Your Majesty..."

Hearing the voice, Wei Ming paused, then walked towards the screen with big strides.

When he saw Ming Fei lying on the couch with a face as pale as paper, his heart ached and all his anger instantly turned into endless heartache and guilt.

He walked quickly to the bedside and gently held Mingfei's hand, as if it was a fragile treasure.

Wei Ming slowly stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes. Then he softened his voice and said softly, "Don't worry, Ni'er. I will definitely seek justice for our child and will never let the murderer go unpunished. No matter what the cost, I will avenge our child."

As he spoke, a crystal tear slid down his resolute cheek and fell into Ming Fei's hand.

"Your Majesty, our child..." Concubine Ming broke down in tears.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Ming stood up, turned around and sternly ordered the eunuch chief behind him:

"Pass on my order. Go to the Imperial Hospital and invite the most skilled imperial physician to come. Make sure that Madam Mingfei gets the best care. Also, select a few attentive and loyal attendants to accompany Madam Mingfei at all times. Do not slack off at all."

Before long, the entire harem fell into tension and busyness.

The guards were ordered to begin a careful search of every palace, and everyone was in danger.

At the same time, all the concubines in the harem received imperial edicts and were summoned to the Minghua Palace.

They were all worried, not knowing what impact this sudden storm would have on them.

In Kunning Palace, Xie Chenning was awakened by the sound of guards searching.

"What happened, Madam Lu?"

"Your Highness, the one in Minghua Palace had a miscarriage." Nanny Lu said softly, "Now the Emperor is ordering a search of the entire harem..."

Without having time to think about the dream he had just had, Xie Chenning nodded gently, "Let's go, undress and go to Minghua Palace."

"Yes…"

*

In Minghua Palace, the imperial physician conducted a detailed examination on Concubine Ming and determined that the cause of her miscarriage was a frame-up.

"Doctor Zhang, you must find out the reason for my beloved concubine's miscarriage. Don't hide anything." Wei Ming gave orders to the imperial physician with a serious expression.

Concubine Ming cried so much that she fainted again. Eunuch Chen questioned the palace maids around her to find out what had happened.

"Call the people in the imperial kitchen and those responsible for Ming Fei's supplies. I want to interrogate them one by one."

"Yes."

The waiting time was too long, so Wei Ming walked out of Minghua Hall.

"Everyone in the harem, tell me the truth. If anyone hides anything, they will be severely punished." Wei Ming glanced at everyone, making them feel terrified. "The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the guards must fully cooperate to find the murderer and rectify the harem."

The other concubines in the harem have arrived, and the eunuchs and palace maids are also being examined, questioned about everyone's whereabouts and activities.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Guards also assisted in the investigation, and the palace servants were checking Ming Fei's diet and daily necessities.

The chef from the imperial kitchen, the eunuchs in charge of delivering food, and the palace maids in charge of the concubines' supplies were also summoned for questioning and investigation.

Everything was going on tensely, and Xie Chenning arrived late.

She just nodded at Wei Ming and sat down.

Wei Ming was extremely anxious at the moment and had no time to care about Xie Chenning's lateness. He was thinking about how to find the real murderer.

Now every minute and every second of waiting is torture for him.

Lu Daixi walked towards Xie Chenning with a faint smile on his face, but the deeper meaning of this smile was hard to fathom.

She came to Xie Chenning, bowed slightly and said, "Empress, do you know that there is such a cruel and ruthless person hiding in the harem, who even did not let go of the unborn little prince! It is really outrageous!"

Hearing this, Xie Chenning, who was about to pick up the teacup and take a sip, suddenly stopped.

But just a moment later, she quickly regained her usual calmness and composure.

She raised her head, her beautiful eyes were calm, as peaceful as a bottomless pool.

She stared at Lu Daixi quietly and asked, "Does the imperial concubine mean that this matter has nothing to do with you?"

Although the tone was gentle, it revealed an invisible pressure that was hard to ignore.

Especially the last rising ending tone, which seems to carry a hint of subtle questioning and doubt, giving people an invisible sense of great oppression.

When Lu Daixi on the opposite side heard these words, her expression changed slightly. Her originally delicate face now looked a little stiff, but she quickly adjusted her expression and tried to make herself look calm and composed.

She opened her red lips slightly and responded with forced calmness: "Of course, even if I am jealous, I will never use such despicable means..."

However, although she spoke so firmly, her eyes inadvertently revealed a hint of panic and guilt.

"That's good. After all, being in charge of the six palaces can do a lot of things." Xie Chenning curled his lips and smiled meaningfully.

Lu Daixi felt that she had been seen through by her. A chill rose from the bottom of her heart and she couldn't help but shiver.

She knew in her heart that the seemingly gentle and beautiful queen in front of her was no ordinary person, and her little thoughts just now might have been seen through by her.

Thinking of this, Lu Daixi couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand, and her palms began to sweat slightly.

The Queen is dangerous.
