Chapter 22

You Ning bathed in the pool, she was always a little uneasy, as if Yun'er's journey would not be smooth, thinking too much, she forgot the time, and soaked in the pool for a long time.

Xu Yanjin waited for a long time but didn't see Youning coming back, so she wanted to take a look, it's not good to soak for too long.

Ping Wu was standing outside the door. When she saw Xu Yanjin coming this way, she suddenly thought of a plan and chose not to stand outside the door and left quietly.

Xu Yanjin saw no one at the door, so he walked in directly.

Youning didn't like to light lamps when she was bathing, but in the evening when it was dark, Ping Wu lit two candles to make sure that Youning could see things and avoid bumping and falling.

The candlelight cast Youning's figure on the screen, and through the screen, Xu Yanjin could see Youning's graceful figure. This feeling was different from usual. Standing at the door, he was fascinated when he saw it.

Youning felt that the water temperature was a bit cold, she must have soaked for a long time, thinking that Xu Yanjin was still waiting in the room, she called Ping Wu to help her change.

You Ning's voice brought Xu Yanjin back to his senses, peeking was not done by a gentleman, so it was better not to say anything, and chose to leave quietly.

Seeing Xu Yanjin leave, Ping Wu went back to the door, heard You Ning's call, and walked in.

"Your Majesty calling your servants?"

"Help me change my clothes."

-

After staying in the palace for more than half a month, Prime Minister Dong has sent many times to invite His Majesty to return to the court. A country cannot live without a king. After all, Xu Yanjin is still the emperor, and he can also play a deterrent role in the palace.

On the way back, the weather was getting colder and colder, and on the day they returned to the capital, it was snowing heavily in the middle of the capital.

Youning had never seen snow before, and the beautiful scenery of flying snow aroused her interest. She forgot the fatigue of the long journey, changed into thick clothes and left the palace with her maid.

The imperial garden where hundreds of flowers were blooming in the past is now covered by heavy snow, and the eyes are full of silver, and there is nothing else.

"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a plum garden further ahead. It was not in the plum blossom season before, but it should be blooming now."

"Go and see."

Ping Wu led You Ning to the plum garden, the plum blossoms only bloomed a few days ago, these days there are constant palace people coming here to watch, among them is naturally Dong Guiren.

Youning's good mood was all gone because of Dong Lishu.

Dong Lishu didn't want to see Youning either, but he couldn't pretend not to see you when they met suddenly, and walked forward to salute.

"My younger sister heard that my elder sister returned to the palace today, thinking that my elder sister must be tired from the long journey, so I didn't go to visit. I didn't expect to meet my elder sister here, but my younger sister was thinking too much."

"Sister doesn't have to put on an air in front of me, it's just you and me here, and I feel tired for my sister."

Just two people, what is there to act, who doesn't know what who is thinking?
The sisters match each other, and they seem to be deeply affectionate, which is disgusting.

Youning didn't want her good mood to be ruined, so she wanted to leave after bypassing Dong Lishu.

The snowy road was slippery, coupled with You Ning's sudden abdominal pain, she fell directly beside Dong Lishu.

"My lady, what's wrong with you, lady?"

Ping Wu was very clever, seeing You Ning fell down, he hurriedly called for someone, the nearby palace people heard the shouting, and hurried over to look, only to see You Ning lying beside Dong Lishu, that was clearly Dong Lishu's general Qi You Ning pushed it to the ground.

Little red plums appeared in the snow, You Ning was in more pain, she didn't know what was going on, but Ping Wu yelled, "Your Majesty is bleeding, please go to the imperial physician!"

When Dong Lishu saw the blood stains under Youning's body, she seemed to know something, Qi Youning was pregnant?
Now that Qi Youning was lying beside her, she couldn't speak clearly even if she had ten mouths.

The palace staff hurriedly carried You Ning back to the bedroom, and the imperial physicians rushed to examine You Ning's pulse, each of the imperial physicians had a bad face, the empress's child probably could not be kept.

After Xu Yanjin returned to the palace, he went to the royal study to discuss matters with the ministers. During this period of time, there were too many affairs in the court, and every item had to be reported to Xu Yanjin. Xu Yanjin just listened to a little bit and forgot a little bit. He had already done it, and he couldn’t change it even if he told him. What, it's actually a waste of time.

Chengxiang Dong was still reporting, when a palace official rushed in, all the ministers present were very displeased, "Presumptuous, don't you know that your majesty is discussing with the courtiers, what should you do if you barge in so recklessly?" crime?"

"Your Majesty, the empress was pushed to the ground by Mr. Dong Gui in the plum garden, shed a lot of blood"

This symptom can be seen without a doctor's diagnosis.

With such a big event, Xu Yanjin didn't have the heart to listen to the ministers report on the government, so he hurried to Youning's bedroom.

A group of imperial doctors were helpless, they were all waiting for the emperor to make the decision. This child would definitely not be saved, but they did not dare to abort the child directly.

Xu Yanjin came very quickly, because this matter was related to Dong Lishu, and Prime Minister Dong also followed. The crime of murdering the empress and the emperor's heir is enough to punish the nine clans.

"How's the situation?"

"The ministers are incompetent and cannot protect the emperor's heir in the mother's womb."

"what is the problem?"

How serious was You Ning's fall, could it kill the child directly?
"The empress has a special constitution and it is difficult to conceive an heir. It is a miracle that she is pregnant, and it is even more difficult to keep her pregnant. Now this fall is really impossible to save."

In the final analysis, it was because of You Ning's own body, even without this fall, she might not be able to survive, but Dong Lishu was unlucky and ruined this last hope.

"Find a way for me! If this child is gone, you all go to accompany him!"

"I will find a solution soon."

That child is gone, and there is no way to keep it. Even if they die, they can't get it back. Now they can only heal Qi Youning first, and wait for the empress to wake up, and then intercede for themselves.

Xu Yanjin was anxious outside the door, but he couldn't do anything. He always hoped that he and Youning would have a child. God granted his wish, but let this child disappear from their lives. Is this right? Whose punishment?
"What happened then?"

The palace man who reported the report couldn't speak clearly, and didn't know anything at all. According to him, only Qi Youning and Dong Lishu were there at that time, and they each had a maidservant. Only a few of them knew what happened. .

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this servant accompanied the empress to admire the flowers in the plum garden, and ran into Mrs. Dong, and the two had some quarrels. When the empress left, Mr. Dong pushed her because she was out of breath. The snowy road was slippery. , Niangniang couldn't stand still, fell down, and after that, the abdominal pain was unbearable."

Except for that push, all the things Ping Wu said happened in real life, but the order was changed, and it became another story completely.
