Imperial Physician Xu walked over, knelt down, and answered with his head down, "It is extremely dangerous. He needs to be nursed back to health for a few days before he can recover."

"Send Prince Rui back home. He doesn't need to come to the palace to pay respects in the near future." After Emperor Wenzong gave the order, he told the eunuch to prepare rewards.

After the eunuchs and Chu Xuanlin's guards left, Emperor Wenzong looked at the imperial physician Xu and asked, "Can you cure Concubine Xian's hysteria?"

Imperial Physician Xu trembled in fear and said, "Your Majesty, I can only control the disease, but I cannot cure it."

Emperor Wenzong's eyes were terribly gloomy. "Does that mean Concubine Xian will get sick again in the future?"

Imperial Physician Xu's head had almost dropped to his collar, and he spoke in a weak voice, "Your Majesty, yes."

Emperor Wenzong was silent for a moment. He wanted to demote Concubine Xian on the charge of plotting to murder the royal heir.

But Yuchi Kun is still alive. If he really does that, the old man will probably throw a tantrum in the palace.

He got a headache just thinking about that scene, so he turned to ask Concubine Shu, "Concubine Shu, you are the mother of the seventh child, what do you think?"

Concubine Shu avoided answering, "I will leave it to your majesty to decide. I believe your majesty will give justice to me and Lin'er."

Emperor Wenzong had no choice but to punish her as a warning. "Come here, Concubine Xian's hysteria is difficult to cure and will harm the heir to the throne. She will be confined to Changchun Palace."

Concubine Shu was not satisfied with this mild punishment, but she could not object. "I thank your majesty for seeking justice for Lin'er."

Emperor Wenzong was displeased and said, "Seventh Brother is also foolishly filial. He knew that Concubine Xian's condition was unstable, but he still rushed to make her create bloodshed."

Shufei also thought so and had told Chu Xuanlin about it, but not only did he not listen, he almost quarreled with her.

Queen Jingren spoke softly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian has no children, and Lin'er is kind-hearted, so he did this. Please don't blame me."

Emperor Wenzong sighed, "I am not blaming him, I am just heartbroken. After all, if something unexpected happens, he will die on the spot."

Concubine Shu was about to cry, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your pity for Lin'er. This child has suffered many disasters since he was a child. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

"Let's first confine Concubine Xian for three months, and then we'll see what happens." Emperor Wenzong stood up and said, "Chi'er, follow me to the front court."

"Yes, father." Chu Xuanchi responded and glanced at Mo Zhaohua. He had to leave her alone again.

Wuying pushed the wheelchair and followed Emperor Wenzong closely, and the group soon left Changchun Palace.

Empress Jingren asked Mo Zhaohua in a gentle voice, "It's still some time before lunch, Zhaozhao, do you want to go back to the palace with me?"

Mo Zhaohua replied softly, "My mother is busy today, so I won't bother her. I'd better go play with the princess for a while."

Empress Jingren was indeed quite busy today. "Okay, then be careful. The snow hasn't melted yet, so don't fall."

Mo Zhaohua responded respectfully, "Thank you, mother, for your reminder."

The matters between Concubine Xian and Chu Xuanlin had been dealt with, and Queen Jingren stood up, "Everyone should go home."

Mo Zhaohua followed Concubine De back to Changle Palace, but did not go in. Instead, he waited outside for Princess Jiashan.

Concubine De also wants to meet the ladies of honor today, so it is inconvenient for her to be present. The best option is to walk around with Princess Jiashan.

Changqiu Palace.

As soon as Concubine Liang and Chu Xuanhan returned, Yuchi Jiuyue immediately came forward to ask about the situation in Changchun Palace.

The virtuous concubine was her aunt, and that was why Chu Xuanhan kept her there, fearing that she would be impulsive and speak nonsense.

Chu Xuanhan briefly explained Chu Xuanlin's injuries, Emperor Wenzong's anger, and Concubine Xian's punishment of house arrest.

Unlike Mo Zhaohua to Concubine De, Yuchi Jiyue has not followed Chu Xuanhan in changing her tune yet, "Auntie really wants to be confined to her house for three months?"

Liang Fei was unhappy, "Xian Fei's actions today really brought bad luck. Your Majesty is already doing her a favor by not banishing her to the cold palace."

She originally thought that with the relationship with Yuchi Jiuyue, she could become friends with Concubine Xian, and then work together to deal with Empress Jingren and Concubine Chunhui.

Now, the plan has not really started yet, and Concubine Xian has angered Emperor Wenzong. She doesn't dare to count on Concubine Xian at all anymore.

"Is it so serious?" Yuchi Jiuyue gritted her teeth, "It's all Prince Rui's fault. If he hadn't gone to Changchun Palace, my aunt wouldn't have gotten sick and hurt people."

Concubine Liang frowned and said, "Your Majesty's tolerance is limited. If she is not locked up, her illness will probably cause trouble sooner or later."

The virtuous concubine had no children, so it wouldn't matter if something happened to her, but she had her maternal family, and her maternal family happened to be the general's mansion that guarded the country.

Concubine Liang was afraid that the trouble she caused would affect the General's Mansion, and then Chu Xuanhan would most likely lose this support.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little regretful. Although Yuchi Jiuyue was the legitimate granddaughter of the general's mansion, she was really not as good as Mo Zhaohua.

Whether it is the Fuguo Mansion or the Defei, they are both deeply loved by Emperor Wenzong. The key is that the Fuguo Mansion really cares about this granddaughter.

As a granddaughter, except for not being able to live in the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion before getting married, her other treatment would not necessarily be worse than Rong Yue's.

The most important thing is that she has been favored by Empress Dowager Yuande since she was a child, and Concubine De also likes her. Now it seems to be a good marriage no matter how you look at it.

Unfortunately, time was not on my side. Concubine Liang saw through the situation too late and did not dare to mention it to Chu Xuanhan, otherwise he would be even more unwilling.

Yuchi Jiyue said anxiously: "What should we do? Should we keep my aunt under house arrest forever? How is this different from being banished to the cold palace?"

"So what do you want? Her hysteria is caused by the loss of her child. Do you want to release her and then hurt the young heir to the throne?"

The more regretful Concubine Liang felt, the more she disliked Yuchi Jiuyue. She thought she was brainless and had completely forgotten that she was the one she chose.

Yuchi Jiuyue felt very aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say anything. She had always bullied the weak and feared the strong, so how could she dare to offend Concubine Liang.

Chu Xuanhan became suspicious. Before, Concubine Liang thought Yuchi Jiuyue was very good and insisted on marrying him. Why did her attitude change so drastically today?

He suppressed his doubts and said kindly, "Mother, please don't think too much. We can't say too much about this matter. Let's wait and see what the General's Mansion will do."

***

Near lunch time, Jiashan returned to Changle Palace.

Mo Zhaohua went to Chengqian Palace to find Chu Xuanchi and have dinner with the emperor and empress.

The young couple behaved very well, and the emperor and empress were very satisfied. After lunch, they allowed them to leave the palace and return home.

Chu Xuanchi got on the carriage and asked, "Zhao Zhao, why is it so easy for a woman to get hurt if she has a miscarriage?"

He had wanted to ask this question when he was in the side hall of Changchun Palace, but the hall was too quiet for him to open his mouth.

So far, he has heard too many stories about women suffering miscarriages, having difficulty having children after difficult childbirth, or even being unable to get pregnant again.

For example, Empress Dowager Yuande had difficulty giving birth to Crown Prince Zhaoren and has been unable to conceive since then. The same is true for Rongqing, Concubine Xian and Mo Yaohua.

Mo Zhaohua explained, "After all, doctors' medical skills are limited, and many problems cannot be solved, so it is easy for the disease to develop."

Injury to the body and inability to get pregnant are relatively minor. Women who die in childbirth are more pitiful, and even two lives may be lost.

Chu Xuanchi pinched his chin in thought and asked her, "What if Zhao Zhao did it? Would the situation be better?"
