The emperor was startled, turned his gaze to where the voice came from, and asked the old eunuch beside him: "Who is imprisoned in Yeyouting?"

He had long forgotten that the Crown Princess was still pregnant, so naturally he also forgot that she was imprisoned in Yeyouting.

The old eunuch bowed and replied, "She is the former Crown Princess."

He deliberately emphasized the word "before".

The emperor frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable, and turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, the mournful cries of pain sounded again, "It hurts...ah..." The voice was so touching.

A gentle brush could stir up ripples, making people want to get closer involuntarily, stirring up the emperor's deepest desires.

The emperor coughed, and his memory resurfaced of his daughter-in-law who had been standing beside the rebellious son with her head lowered and her eyes submissive.

Daughter-in-law...

He said in a deep voice: "Go find a doctor!"

After saying that, he blatantly walked to the gate of Yeyouting and asked the guards beside him to push open the wooden door.

"Who's calling?" He looked over inquiringly.

Then I saw a plump and fair beauty leaning against the door frame that was wet from the rain.

This beauty was only wearing a thin quilt, with her fair shoulders and calves exposed in the summer breeze.

The emperor's gaze paused on the fair skin for a while and he swallowed subconsciously.

But maybe his voice was too loud or what, but it seemed to have startled his daughter-in-law in front of him, causing her to look over at him.

She raised her hand gently, her pink nails gleaming in the dim light: "Your Majesty..." Her voice was soft, with a hint of pain.

The emperor quickened his pace and reached out to take the beauty's soft hand: "How is the Crown Princess?"

When Ma E raised her hand, the thin quilt on her body was about to fall off, but she didn't care about anything else. She just held the emperor's big hand and touched her warm belly.

"Your Majesty, my child... please save my child..."

After saying that, she seemed to be unable to hold on any longer and fell towards the emperor beside her.

Fortunately, the emperor was quick-witted and caught the beauty. Her soft body, with a fragrant smell, fell towards him, which was really distracting.

However, he still remembered his identity and looked up at the imperial physician who had hurried over: "Come and see the Crown Princess!"

The sweaty chief judge of the Imperial Hospital, with his beard shaking, stepped forward dutifully and took the pulse of the former Crown Princess, whom he had been keeping a close eye on.

It was clearly a stillborn baby that should have been born at full moon, how come it went into labor so early?!

The old eunuch in the distance saw the emperor taking action himself and moving the person to another place, and he began to frown secretly.

Over there, the imperial physician looked at Ma E, whose hair was covered in sweat, in the emperor's arms, and shook his head: "Crown Princess, I'm afraid... the child can't be saved."

"Wow, Your Majesty!" Ma E looked extremely sad, and couldn't help but throw half of herself into the emperor's arms.

The emperor held the beauty in his arms, and his mind was in turmoil for a moment. He immediately ordered the imperial physician without hesitation: "Quickly take out the dead fetus, and don't hurt the Crown Princess' body!"

Obviously, the imperial physician understood what the emperor had not said. Just as he was about to ask the emperor to leave, he saw the Crown Princess soften again, burying herself even more in the emperor's arms with tears, holding the emperor tightly with both hands.

Don't let people leave.

"Your Majesty, accompany me! Your Majesty, accompany me!"

"Okay, okay." The emperor patted the beauty in his arms soothingly, and then changed the subject and said to the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital: "Hurry up and save the Crown Princess!"

The chief judge of the Imperial Hospital was silent, thinking that it was difficult to deliver a baby for a woman and he wanted to avoid exposing her body.

How can this help the Queen Mother to stop the Emperor's idea?

He watched helplessly as the Emperor and the Crown Princess got closer and closer, and the Crown Princess showed an expression of pain that was completely unlike that of an ordinary woman giving birth.

There were also occasional soft cries.

When the baby was finally born, the Crown Princess made the Emperor lie down in her quilt completely, saying that she was afraid to see the unformed baby.

The palace maid beside the emperor cleaned the body of the crown princess who had lost her child, and then quietly left the room.

In the quiet Yeyou Courtyard, only the emperor and the sad Crown Princess with red eyes were left.

The emperor lovingly wiped the sweat from the Crown Princess's hair and the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing his ex-daughter-in-law in so much pain, he felt as if he was suffering the same thing. In the smell of blood all over the room, he felt very sorry, so he lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

In the dim candlelight, he personally comforted his poor daughter-in-law who had just lost her child.

The next day.

Pei Chun listened to the rustling news reported by the poisonous insect with a disgusted look on his face, and his hand that was applying medicine to Gu Yuan paused for a long time.

After a while, he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he pushed Gu Yuan away lightly, ran to the flowers outside the yard in three or two steps, propped up his legs, and vomited out all the food he had eaten last night.

According to her original plan, Ma E and the emperor would have to meet once a month and go to bed together half a year.

But who would have thought that it would happen so soon? On the very night when the child was gone, she and the emperor ate the forbidden fruit.

Really...

How could they do that! The whole room was filled with the smell of blood, and the child that was about to be born had just...

Ahhhhh!

Her ears! Her brain!

Pei Cui, who was helping to bandage Gu Yuan, seemed not to have heard anything.

When he left the house, he threw a piece of freshly peeled orange peel to Pei Chun, then walked away leisurely with his medicine box.

He also had to prepare for the Imperial Medical Bureau's examination, and also had to ask someone to send some useful things to his master who was living in the inn.

Gu Yuan walked forward worriedly and placed the fresh orange peel under Pei Chun's nose with his uninjured hand.

Use two fingers to apply slight force and squeeze out the sour and sweet juice from the orange peel.

Tiny drops of juice splashed on the tip of his nose and around his philtrum, and the refreshing smell spread around. Pei Chun finally felt a little better.

"No meat for three days!" she announced solemnly, feeling disgusted.

Gu Yuan didn't say anything, but carefully squeezed out some juice from the orange peel again, and even took out a clean handkerchief and wiped her chin.

His eyes were full of her.

This concentration is truly admirable.

"Emperor Zhao has indeed gone too far." After wiping the floor slowly, Gu Yuan commented.

His tone was not very surprised. After all, there was the previous example of Concubine Li and Mingcheng's aunt An Qingmei.

There were also many wives of court officials.

Pei Chun waved his hand and leaned against Gu Yuan's chest.

He took out the little white thing nestled in the crook of his neck and asked, "If Concubine Li knew about this, what would her reaction be?"

She was a little curious, and mainly wanted to help Gu Yuan.

On the huge wooden bed.

The Eighth Prince released his hands from around Concubine Li's slender waist.

Hiding from the maid's sight, he rubbed his forehead that was woken up by the noise: "The former Crown Princess is having an affair with the Emperor? What, did someone seduce the Emperor to go to Yeyouting last night?"

He had just gotten up and his voice was still hoarse. In order to avoid disturbing Concubine Li who was standing next to him, he carefully covered her ears.

"Isn't the former Crown Princess still pregnant?" The Eighth Prince was really curious.

He thought that the palace maids' so-called "getting together" was just the two of them sleeping together under the quilt.
