Prince Jing hurriedly asked the imperial physician, "Have you tested this wine and snacks?"

The doctors nodded and whispered, "Your Highness, this wine and snack are poisonous! And the amount is not light! The queen just ate a piece of butter butterfly cake and drank a small glass of wine, and she began to have abdominal pain, cold sweats all over her body, and after a few hours, she began to have bleeding and miscarriage..."

Prince Jing was furious and yelled, "Come here! Go and call Luan Xi over to me! I must investigate who did this and caused me to lose my son."

The room was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. After a while, Zi Yue said softly, "Your Highness! The snacks and jade pear wine were sent by Madam Zeng..."

Prince Jing was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. It was Shizuka!

How could it be this usually gentle and quiet concubine!

After a long while, he muttered to himself, "How could Shizuka do such a thing... She has always been a peaceful person, how could she use such a dark and despicable method to kill my child?"

Several imperial doctors took their leave.

Prince Jing waved his hand with a heavy face, then sighed painfully and said: "This prince has always thought that Jingxiang is a gentle and honest woman with no temper, and seldom paid attention to the three of them..."

Sun Yujie said softly: "Your Majesty, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not..."

Prince Jing looked at her with eyes full of heartache and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Sun Yujie sat up with difficulty, leaning against Prince Jing’s arms and whispering, “In fact, I have always wanted to tell you a secret... Yuying once told me that the princess always thought that it was Mrs. Du who tampered with her pregnancy-preserving medicine, which caused Princess Yuying and her siblings to be born different from others... But later, Mrs. Du told her before she died to pay attention to the gentle and honest person beside her... The princess didn’t know what this sentence meant at the time, until one day in the middle of the night an old maid came to the East Garden and told her that the person who poisoned her was none other than Aunt Zeng, who looked quiet, gentle and honest!

Because Zeng was jealous of Du for stealing her favor, so she wanted to take revenge on her! But by chance, the princess mistakenly thought that it was her body that caused the princess and the prince to be born different from others! After I knew about this, I was always afraid of Princess Yuying, but I didn't think of guarding against the real murderer, and the result was..."

Sun Yujie couldn't help crying when she got to this point, and said in great sorrow: "It was my carelessness that killed the baby in my belly..."

Prince Jing said nothing, but a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes!

He never knew there was such a vicious woman by his side!

Not only did this man cause problems for his two legitimate children, but he also caused him to lose his unborn child!

"Yu'er, you should take a rest first! Don't think too much. We have a long time to live, and we will definitely have another child..."

Prince Jing comforted Sun Yujie softly, gently helped her lie down on the pillow, then stood up and said calmly: "Yu'er, have a good sleep! I'll be out for a while, if there is anything, ask the maid to call the imperial physician to come and take a look..."

Sun Yujie nodded softly and closed her eyes.

Prince Jing turned and walked out.

Ningxiang Garden.

Zeng sat in front of the table anxiously, watching the flickering candlelight, and whispered, "Your Highness should have known by now..."

The maidservant standing by said, "I heard that the prince drove out the imperial physician and the maids and servants, and he is alone in there comforting Concubine Yu!"

Zeng sneered lightly and said self-deprecatingly, "She became the prince's favorite thanks to Du's influence! The child in her belly was also honored because of her mother. Now that the child is gone, the prince naturally feels sorry for her..."

Aunt Hua comforted her, "Miss, if anything is found out, you can just blame it on me! Anyway, I'm already so old, living a few more years or a few less years won't make any difference!"

Zeng showed a bitter smile on her face and said, "Mom, if something really happens, it has nothing to do with others, I will bear the responsibility alone! But, you have to protect Yiming and Xinying... Everything I do is for the two of them. As long as they can be happy, I have no regrets... In terms of birth and favor, they are not as good as Jingying and Yuying. If I, their own mother, don't do something for them, how can they survive in this palace? So I never regret everything I have done! I just blame myself for not being able to let them get all the love of the prince like Jingying..."

Aunt Hua comforted her, "Miss, don't blame yourself! Anyway, the incident has already happened. You are the mother of the princess and the prince. What can the prince really do to you? At most, he will get angry and ask you to apologize to Concubine Yu!"

At this moment, someone outside suddenly announced, "The prince has arrived!"

When Aunt Hua heard this, she quickly shut up and followed Zeng to the door to greet them.

Prince Jing came in with only one follower and said calmly, "You all go out, I want to be alone with Jingxiang for a while!"

"Yes!"

Nanny Hua and the little maid retreated.

The living room was quiet. Prince Jing ordered, "Xue Gui, go ask the kitchen to send some exquisite side dishes. I want to have a few drinks with my wife."

"Yes!"

The follower agreed and went out.

Zeng suppressed her nervousness, pretended to be calm as she looked at Prince Jing, and asked softly, "Did Prince Jing come from Sister Yujie?"

Prince Jing nodded, "Yes."

Unable to tell what kind of emotion she had, Zeng asked again, "I heard that she had an accident... I wonder if she's okay now?"

At this time, Prince Jing raised his eyes and looked at her, carefully examining Zeng's expression... and found that her face was gentle and calm, exactly the same as usual! There was no sign that she had just hurt someone!

Prince Jing thought: Perhaps it was because of her harmless and docile appearance that the princess and I were deceived and failed to discover her true face?

After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "The child is gone!"

"what!"

Zeng pretended to be surprised and said, "Could it be that Sister Yujie is pregnant? Oh, I really can't tell at all..."

A voice in Prince Jing's heart said coldly: "What a great acting skill! As a murderer, he didn't reveal any flaws at all..."

After a long while, he said calmly, "Yu'er has a slender figure, so it's hard to tell from her body shape! She wanted to give me a surprise, so she planned to announce the news after the fetus was more stable. Who knew... Alas!"

Prince Jing couldn't continue talking at this point. Thinking of how he had been looking forward to having a child with great joy, but who knew that in the end it would end up like this! He couldn't help but feel a surge of deep sorrow and pain in his heart...

Zeng gently advised: "Your Highness, please take care of yourself! Sister Yujie is still young and will definitely have children in the future!"

Prince Jing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat as he listened to this gentle and considerate comfort...

It really gave him the chills to see this pretty, gentle and docile concubine in front of him, who was a murderer, able to comfort him so calmly!
