Concubine Duan still stood up and followed them in, but this time there was one more person in the team, Concubine Rou.

Before they entered the house, Cui Jinxi stopped Zhen Huan as usual and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't taken the pregnancy-maintaining medicine yet."

The queen raised her eyebrows and glanced at Jianqiu behind her, who nodded slightly.

Zhen Huan drank the pregnancy-preserving medicine in one gulp, and the Queen smiled without saying a word.

After hanging up the amulets and lucky bags, Zhen Huan sent Concubine Duan and Concubine Rou away.

In the inner room, Zhen Huan questioned the Queen.

The Queen was unmoved, and Zhen Huan tried to pull the Queen's hand, but the Queen immediately ran a few steps away and shouted, "Rou Fei, Your Majesty."

When Zhen Huan saw that the Queen was not following the script, she banged her stomach against the table.

This action was seen clearly by Concubine Rou who ran in. Concubine Rou hurriedly called for help: "Come here, Concubine Xi bumped her stomach onto the table."

Concubine Duan quickly corrected her statement: "It was the Queen who pushed Concubine Xi onto the table."

The Queen and Concubine Rou both looked at Concubine Duan, and Concubine Duan looked at them with exactly the same expression.

When Zhen Huan had a miscarriage, Zhen Yurao came up and slapped the Queen in the face.

The queen used more force and pretended to be knocked to the ground by the slap.

Concubine Rou hurried forward to help her, but the Queen waved her hand and said, "Your Majesty, I did nothing. When Concubine Xi wakes up, I can confront her."

Zhen Yurao insisted, "You and my sister were the only ones in the room. If it wasn't you who caused it, could it be that my sister wanted to abort her own fetus?"

The emperor was furious. At this moment, Zhen Huan woke up and stared at the queen angrily: "My queen, why did you want to harm my child?"

With tears in her eyes, she said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, our child is gone. It was not because I failed to protect the fetus, but because of the Empress. It was the Empress who argued with me and pushed me to the table."

Wei Lin knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there are indeed signs of a heavy blow to the Empress' abdomen. All the imperial doctors can attest to this. The Empress must have been pushed hard, and the Empress' pregnancy has always been healthy."

The emperor questioned the queen: "You and Concubine Xi were the only two people in the bedroom at that time."

The queen knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am the mother of a country. The children of the concubines are all my children. How could I lay hands on my own children? Please understand clearly, Your Majesty."

The emperor looked at the empress, then at Concubine Duan and Concubine Rou, and asked, "You and you, did you see anything when you were outside the bedroom?"

Concubine Duan replied, "I was chatting with Concubine Rou outside at the time, but I did hear the sound of an argument in the bedroom."

Concubine Rou also replied: "Yes, I vaguely heard the sound."

After hearing this, the emperor said to the queen, "So many eyes saw it. When Concubine Xi hit her stomach, you were the only one by her side."

The Queen looked at Zhen Huan, and Zhen Huan spoke again: "The Queen resented my favor and thought that I was disrespectful to her. She blamed me and then pushed me away in anger."

Long Yue spoke at the right time: "The Empress Dowager pushed Empress Xi."

For a moment, the bedroom was instantly quiet.

The emperor was very disappointed with the queen, and was about to say that the queen was vicious.

Jianqiu spoke up: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The emperor was interrupted and said unhappily: "Slut, you have no right to speak here."

Jian Qiu kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, this matter concerns the innocence of the Empress. The Empress is the mother of a country. If she is wronged, I will die as a guilty person."

Jianqiu kowtowed loudly as he spoke.
