Chapter 146: Cold Concubine's Daughter * Domineering Emperor 41

Today is Su Wanti's birthday party, and she is the focus of the party, so as soon as Ye Zi shouted, everyone looked over.

Rong Zhou was extremely nervous. When he heard the noise coming from Su Wanti's side, he immediately stood up and strode towards her seat.

"Wan'er, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Why do you look so bad?" Rong Zhou said anxiously.

Su Wanti was breathing weakly and her eyes had lost their former luster. She was usually cold and aloof, but now she looked weak and powerless.

"Your Majesty, for some reason, I suddenly felt abdominal pain and chills all over."

Her body was shaking like a fallen leaf on a branch.

Rong Zhou became nervous. He hugged Su Wanti and comforted her softly, "It's okay. I'm here. You'll be fine."

"Doctor, come quickly!"

Because Su Wanti was pregnant, they were afraid that the imperial physician would not be able to arrive in time if she was unwell, so they directly called the imperial physician to come to the banquet and serve at her side.

The imperial physician hurriedly checked Su Wanti's pulse, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "Your Majesty, the fetus is unstable and there may be a miscarriage!"

"How could it be?" Rong Zhou's eyes widened, looking horrified.

"Blood! The royal concubine is bleeding!" a palace servant shouted.

Rong Zhou lowered his head and saw that Su Wanti's moon-white skirt was stained with large patches of bright red blood.

The person in his arms was getting weaker and weaker.

At this moment, Rong Zhou's heart became more flustered than ever before, and he felt fear for the first time.

This is the child he has been waiting for for more than ten years. Is he going to watch this child disappear before his eyes?

In that instant, it was as if a thousand-pound rock hit Rong Zhou's heart.

He was so heartbroken that his eyes were about to burst. His voice was gloomy, cold and sharp.

"Imperial Physician, please save Concubine Su quickly. If anything happens to her or the baby in her womb, I will hold the entire Imperial Hospital accountable!"

The imperial physician was sweating profusely, shaking even more violently than Su Wanti, "We will do our best!"

At this time, Ye Zi held the bowl of sweet soup, knelt in front of Rong Zhou, and cried:

"Your Majesty, please help the queen. The queen's stomachache only persisted after drinking this bowl of soup."

Rong Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "Check!"

An imperial physician came immediately and carefully examined the bowl of sweet soup. After a while, the imperial physician reported:

"Your Majesty, this sweet soup contains safflower, moutan bark, aconite root, and peach kernel, which are all commonly used drugs for abortion."

Hearing this, the queen was shocked.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Su is pregnant, so I specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare red dates and lotus seeds syrup for her. The people in charge of Concubine Su's diet are all reliable people who have been screened through various levels, so there shouldn't be any problems... Someone must have deliberately harmed Concubine Su!"

"I know. But, Queen, there is still such a hateful person in the palace, and he was given the opportunity to murder my offspring. Queen, you have failed in your duty."

The queen looked terrified and said, "It was my negligence. I know I am guilty."

At this moment, Rong Zhou's face was as cold and gloomy as a thousand-year-old iceberg, and anyone who looked at him would tremble with fear.

"First, send Concubine Su to Zichen Palace and let her receive treatment there. We will take our time with the rest."

----

Su Wanti was sent to Zichen Palace by palace maids and imperial physicians.

Rong Zhou knew that this matter was not simple, so he did not leave, nor did he allow any of the guests or concubines to leave.

He sat in his seat with a gloomy face, looking around with his leopard eyes. There was a bloodthirsty desire in his cold and sharp eyes.

When he saw the bloodstains on Su Wanti's dress, he indeed felt a strong urge to kill.

After suppressing this strong desire to kill, he ordered his men to investigate in each palace.

But in a moment, the atmosphere in the palace changed drastically. It became depressing and dull like before a storm. Even the bright sunlight coming through the window lattices seemed dazzling. People felt not warmth but chilliness.

Everyone in the hall was waiting anxiously, and no one dared to make a sound, for fear that they would accidentally offend the emperor and bring about a fatal disaster.

In the dead silence, the imperial concubine raised her eyes and glanced at Chi Liangdi, but Chi Liangdi's expression remained unchanged and she did not respond to her gaze at all.

The imperial concubine turned her head and looked at her personal maid. The maid nodded at her. The imperial concubine lowered her eyes, looking indifferent.

The people in the imperial court acted the fastest. In less than a cup of tea, the eunuch in front of the emperor came to report.

"Your Majesty, I found some suspicious medicine residue in the Imperial Concubine's palace. I don't know what it is."

Rong Zhou looked at the queen, who looked confused and shook her head at him.

The concubines in the harem had their pulse checked once every half a month. In addition, if a concubine felt unwell, she had to ask the queen for permission before she could ask the imperial physician to diagnose her.

After the imperial physician's diagnosis, he would record the concubine's symptoms, illnesses and medicines she was taking in a book and present it to the empress for review.

During the period when a concubine was taking medicine for treatment, she could not serve the emperor in bed. The empress would send someone to inform the eunuch in front of the emperor and ask him to record it, and not include that concubine in the daily sleeping list.

Therefore, the queen knew clearly which concubine was sick and which concubine was taking medicine.

These days, the imperial concubine never asked her for permission, saying that she was not feeling well and needed to see a royal physician.

Moreover, concubines were not allowed to take medicine privately.

The decoctions and medicines taken by the concubines were all prescribed by the Imperial Hospital, and they had to be boiled in the Imperial Hospital. The people in the concubines' palaces only poured the medicine back to the palace, leaving the residue in the Imperial Hospital.

Therefore, it is very strange that there are medicinal residues in the imperial concubine's palace.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on the imperial concubine, with questions and inquiries.

"Could it be the imperial concubine who gave me the medicine?"

"I heard that on the second day of Su Guipin's service, the imperial concubine deliberately tortured her, causing her to suffer from heatstroke and fall into the water..."

"Every time I see Concubine Su, she sounds quite dissatisfied and always finds fault with her..."

"So, the imperial concubine is highly suspicious!"

The whispers were like the buzzing of mosquitoes.

Although the imperial concubine couldn't hear clearly, she knew they were talking about her.

She raised her eyes and met Rong Zhou's cold, gloomy, questioning gaze. Like a frightened rabbit, she blinked and stood up in panic.

Her voice was delicate and urgent, "The Emperor is not me!"

In panic, she looked at Chi Liangdi, but found that Chi Liangdi had a faint smile on her lips and didn't even look at her.

At this time, the Queen seemed to have already determined her, "My Royal Concubine, you are confused. You have disappointed me so much."

The imperial concubine gritted her teeth, her bright and beautiful face flushed red, she knelt down in front of Rong Zhou and said sadly:

"Your Majesty, I have been with you for many years. I may be a little bit temperamental, but I have never done anything that is against the will of heaven and earth. Back then, I volunteered to enter the Prince's Mansion because I loved Your Majesty."

"Over the years, I have accompanied the emperor. When the emperor is happy, I am happy. When the emperor is sad, I am sad. I know that the emperor has been looking forward to this child. I love him so much that I can't wait for him. How could I hurt him?"

She raised her head, crystal tears streaming down her face, her delicate eyebrows curved into a beautiful and fragile angle, which made people feel pity for her.

The thin clothes could not hide her trembling body, and the swaying tassels on her forehead made her look even more pitiful.

Her words were sincere and earnest, and everyone was a little hesitant, but Noble Lady Wen did not believe her.

She felt that the imperial concubine was putting on an act.

She knew at a glance that the imperial concubine's makeup, expression, clothes and jewelry, the angle of her head, the timbre of her voice, and the moment when her tears flowed were all carefully designed.

At this time, the imperial concubine still wanted to put on a show, which was enough to prove that it was she who gave the drug to murder Su Wanti!

Concubine Wen was filled with indignation and was about to stand up, but she felt her body sink and someone was pulling her belt.

When I turned around, it was the girl Ye Zi.

At some point, Ye Zi stood behind her.

Ye Zi shook his head at Concubine Wen.

Wen Guiren thought about it, calmed down, and retracted her steps.
