The candlelight in the room was like daytime, and the imperial doctor and Wen Po all looked dignified.Lianzhen was lying on the bed, cold sweat dripping from her forehead, her teeth sank deep into her lips, a few strands of blood oozing out, the dazzling red reflected her face even paler as paper, and the tearing pain in her body engulfed her Her sanity and the blood under her body gradually wet the bedding on the bed, and the air was filled with a depressing and frightening smell of blood.Baozhen stood by the bed, her heart was terrified and pained, her hands and feet were weak, but she didn't dare to cry aloud. After all, Hengbo had been in the palace for many years, but he was quite calm, with his brows tightly furrowed, holding a hot towel over and over again to replace him. Lian Zhen wiped her cheeks and body.

The door was suddenly pushed open, a white shadow flashed in, and the little maid guarding the door hurriedly knelt down: "I have seen you." Her throat was already choked: "Your Majesty..."

The royal concubine's condensed eyebrows were mixed with a rare anxiety, she stood there blankly for a while, then slowed down, and walked forward slowly, Hengbo and others hurriedly stepped aside, she only glanced at the bed, Unable to move his eyes away, he stretched out his hand, took Lian Zhen's cold hand away from the corner of the quilt, and held it firmly in his hand, as if he wanted to transfer the heat from his palm to her body , she leaned down and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Lian Zhen has been in a semi-conscious state, and she doesn't even have the strength to shout, but occasionally utters a few vague groans, which are unbearable to hear.The imperial concubine's eyes couldn't help turning red, she increased her strength in her hands, and repeated in a low voice: "I'm here, I will accompany you." At this moment, Lian Zhen seemed to have a sense of something, with big tears It slipped down the closed corners of her eyes, and her bloodless lips squirmed weakly a few times. The imperial concubine was stunned for a moment, lowered her head, and put her ears close to her lips, but she didn't respond at all. She listened for a while, just As he was about to leave, a low voice suddenly came from his ear: "Ice Wheel... Ice Wheel..."

Her lips trembled slightly, touching her ears lightly. This call was as miserable and desperate as a cry before dying. The imperial concubine froze, as if the sharpest blade had been inserted straight into her chest, and the pain affected her. Deep in the heart, deep into the bone marrow, the past is like a gust of wind, and finally freezes on a beautiful and tragic picture.I thought that in this life, I would get the most thorough and cruel peace, and I would never be happy again, nor would I have such pain. . . . . .

"Your Majesty, the Emperor and Empress are here, and they are waiting outside."

Hengbo's worrying voice was so far away that it seemed to come from the horizon, but it still brought her back to her senses. When she looked at Lianzhen, she saw that she was breathing weakly, and she had fainted from the pain. The pain that came from her forced back the tears that were about to rush to her eyes, and when she stood up, her expression had returned to normal, "I see."

Following the dragon fetus conceived by nobleman Mei Mu Feiyu, another prince died before birth. Everyone knew that with this sad news, an earth-shattering storm was coming.

The emperor sat on the throne in the middle of the Ningxiang hall, leaning on the armrest with his right hand, his face was covered with a layer of blueness, and the queen sat on his right side, although she was sickly and haggard, she also had a serious expression, like Lian Zhen. Su Yun, who lived in the same palace, stood aside, with tears on her face, and the other eunuchs and maids of higher rank in Xiefang Palace knelt down on the ground.

As soon as the imperial concubine entered the door, she felt the heavy atmosphere in the room like a thousand years of frost. She lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, walked to the front and knelt down quietly: "The empress's phoenix body is ill. The emperor trusts my concubine, so I let my concubine take care of you for the time being." In charge of the harem, what happened to Concubine Lian is the fault of my concubine's dereliction of duty, and I ask the emperor to punish her."

The emperor stared at her and said, "Have you visited Concubine Lian?"

"Yes." The imperial concubine said: "The concubine is worried about the dragon's birth, and she is impatient for a while, so she has no scruples."

The emperor said: "How is she now?"

The imperial concubine glanced at the empress next to her without any trace, and Fang replied: "Concubine Lian suffered a huge injury and lost a lot of blood, and she has passed out. The imperial doctor said that as long as she pays more attention to recuperation in the future, her body will gradually recover."

The emperor said: "Get up."

"Yes."

The imperial concubine stood up and sat down on an embroidered pier at the side. She glanced around inadvertently, but saw Li Mao also kneeling beside her, her face was pale, looking devastated. She withdrew her gaze, then wrinkled her eyes slightly. Eyebrows, lost in thought.

Knowing that the emperor was about to explode with thunderous anger, he was ordered to examine the diet and decoction that Lianzhen had taken. The two imperial doctors did not dare to neglect. The lord has repeatedly checked that there is nothing wrong with the food and drinks that the little master Lian eats, but the anti-fetal medicine that she takes contains a lot of 'cold medicine' ingredients..." Speaking of this, subconsciously glanced at the emperor The expression on his face stopped here.

Cold medicine is a kind of decoction, which is made of musk and dozens of rare and hard-to-find medicinal materials. This medicine is extremely cold, and it has the effect of abortion, and it can also cause infertility if taken for a long time. It has always been taboo by the court. It is listed as one of the prohibited drugs.

"Cool medicine?" The emperor was extremely angry, his eyes showed murderous intentions: "Hey, my harem hides dragons and crouching tigers, it's really not easy."

Hearing the name of "cold medicine" and hearing the emperor's cold laughter, everyone was terrified and shivering. Li Mao's heart was in a state of turmoil, his back was soaked in cold, and his whole body seemed to fall into the cold. In the ice cellar, I wanted to see the imperial concubine several times, but I forcibly held back, only to hear the emperor say: "Just now, Li Taiyi said that Lianfei's anti-fetal medicine has always been brewed by him himself, and he never made it by others, but today It just happened to be such a coincidence that when Grand Physician Li was waiting to boil the medicine, someone falsely passed the imperial concubine's order and summoned him away."

Li Mao kowtowed his head a few times and said in a trembling voice: "I believe in people's words, and I fell into danger with the little master Lian and the dragon fetus. After that, I have no face to stay in the imperial hospital. I only wish to die to atone for my sin. "

The emperor ignored her, but said to the queen: "You are the lord of the harem, I entrust this matter to you, my child cannot die in vain, you must find that bitch with a vicious heart for me, I will definitely Let her life be worse than death!" He gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of viciousness, the empress was terrified, then lowered her eyes, and said meekly: "I obey." The emperor turned his head, and said to the imperial concubine: " You help the queen to try this matter together."

The imperial concubine was obviously a little surprised, and immediately replied: "The concubine obeys the order."

"To be able to poison so easily, there must be a traitor. Inside and outside the Xiefang Palace, all the servants, big and small, don't miss any one. Let me guard them all tonight, and let me interrogate them overnight." The emperor said. His gaze swept over everyone one by one like lightning. Some of the less timid ones almost collapsed in fright. The emperor snorted coldly and stood up from the throne: "Go back to the palace."

Zhao Chengen hurriedly followed, and everyone, headed by the empress, knelt down at the same time: "Send off the holy car."

Back in Changle Palace, the emperor sat down on the kang in the Nuan Pavilion with a gloomy face. Zhao Chengen personally took the hot tea from the eunuch and served it. The emperor took a sip and put it aside. Who will serve the bed?"

Zhao Chengen hurriedly said: "The emperor didn't turn over anyone's sign tonight, but only ordered two girls, Mei Ling and Mei Qian, to come over. Now they have been waiting in the side hall for a long time."

Mei Ling and Mei Qian are one of the six beauties presented by Bingzhou. They are a pair of twins. They are only fourteen or fifteen years old.Zhao Chengen saw that the emperor asked, but remained silent, so he asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to let them in now?"

"No, let them wait first." The emperor thought for a moment, then said calmly: "You send someone to Yijing Palace to pick up Concubine Min."

Zhao Chengen felt a little astonished, but immediately replied: "Yes." After leaving the Nuan Pavilion, after saying so, he came in again and stood aside to serve.

Concubine Min had bathed and slept early that night, but not long after she lay down, someone secretly came over to report Lianzhen's miscarriage, saying that the emperor, empress, imperial concubine and others were all in the Palace of Harvesting Fang, and she was shocked again Doubtful, but also excited and happy, after that, he tossed and turned on the bed, without the slightest sleepiness, and simply sat under the quilt, thinking over and over again, only thinking about this matter, and kept sending people to inquire about the news, and suddenly heard Changle The palace came to pass the decree, saying that the emperor called her to attend the bed, he couldn't help being very surprised, and didn't have time to think about it, so he dressed up carefully and came to Changle Palace.

"The concubine has seen the emperor." Concubine Min hadn't been summoned by the emperor for a long time, and knowing that the emperor was in a bad mood at the moment, she became more cautious, her voice was especially gentle and gentle.

"Get up." The emperor closed a memorial, put it lightly on the kang table, turned his head to Zhao Cheng'en and said: "Tell them all to go down, looking at these wooden slaves makes me very upset."

Zhao Cheng'en winked, and the female eunuchs retreated respectfully, the emperor said: "You also go out, I don't need anyone to serve here, only Concubine Min is enough to serve."

"Yes."

Concubine Min saw that the emperor's face was calm, without the slightest sign of happiness or anger. It was very different from the usual time when she got along with each other. Although she was worried and doubtful, she didn't show anything on her face. Kneeling, looking up, he said softly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Who is so bold to make you unhappy today?"

The emperor reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her head even higher. After staring at her for a while, he said lightly: "Although this face is not as tender as when it first entered the palace, it is still beautiful. It's just this heart, Why is it so vicious?"

When Concubine Min heard this, she was terrified: "Emperor... Your Majesty..."

Before the words were finished, the emperor had let go of her, and slapped her twice fiercely: "Bitch!" Concubine Min's cheeks were burning hot, her ears were buzzing, and her whole body was limp on the ground. She stroked her face with her hands. , looking at the emperor in disbelief, weeping and saying: "Your Majesty, what crime did this concubine commit to make you angry? I don't understand..."

"You are still pretending to be stupid!" The emperor pointed at her with a ferocious face and said, "That day you took advantage of the Shangyuan Festival to arrange people to sneak into the palace, causing the nobleman Mei to damage the dragon fetus. Looking at the relationship between you and me for so many years, and looking at Lie Er's face, you and your family were not implicated by just executing those traitors. Concubine, you vicious bitch, do you think that if the other concubines don't have children, I will make Lie'er the crown prince? Can you, a poisonous woman, become the queen mother in the future? You are dreaming!"

Concubine Min's face was ashen, and she cried, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my concubine was wronged, and my concubine never harmed Concubine Lian's concubine. Someone must have framed my concubine. I beg your majesty to investigate clearly. I was wronged!"

The emperor was very impatient, and said coldly: "I named your father General Wei, in charge of the garrison of the capital, and gave your brother the title of marquis. After you entered the palace, you were even more favored. Who knows that because I didn't agree for a while, Lie'er is the crown prince, and your father, daughter, and brother actually conspired to murder my flesh and blood again and again. It is really insane and despicable! I can grant your father wealth and power, and let him be decapitated at any time. Are you even a little scared? Don't you have any heart?"

Concubine Min was so frightened that she wanted to die, she rushed over and hugged his leg again, crying, "Your Majesty, please listen to my concubine's words, the matter of Meigui was indeed caused by my concubine's fascination for a while, knowing that the emperor spared my life, I have always been deeply grateful for God's grace, regretting nothing, how dare I do such an outrageous, treasonous thing again? This is one of them; if it is said that because I have Lie'er, the one who hurt the dragon's fetus must be me, this kind of inference is absolutely irrelevant It doesn't make sense, now that the imperial concubine has adopted the second prince, there are not only concubines and concubines who have princes; there are many concubines in the harem, and everyone's heart is on the emperor. I don't know how many people are jealous of Longzi. I'm afraid there are many people who want to harm her. This is the third. No matter what the emperor heard, please investigate this matter thoroughly and return my innocence. God swears, if what happened to Concubine Lian was also my fault, my family will be wiped out!"

Seeing her earnest words, every word dripping with tears, the emperor calmed down a little, squinted his eyes and looked at her for a while, and said: "I will definitely investigate this matter, and if you did it, I will look at Lie Er's face, Leave you a whole body."

His voice was low and slow, but Concubine Min couldn't help shivering deeply, but the emperor seemed to be tired of the conversation, and waved his hand: "You can go back, until the truth is found out, you should stay in your own palace. "

"Yes."

Concubine Min wiped away the tears on her face, she wanted to stand up, but she didn't want her knees to be sore and numb after kneeling for so long, she bit her lip, struggled to get up, walked out with unsteady steps, and walked out of the gate, only to see Zhao Chengen Standing aside with two young and charming beauties, she seemed to be waiting to be summoned. When she saw her coming out, she quickly bowed her knees and saluted. Her eyes paused for a while from those two charming faces, and a sad and sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. While taking Lingque's hand, he whispered: "Let's go."
