When I opened my eyes, Zhen Huan knelt in front of me and had a miscarriage

Yanqing Hall

"Empress Hua has arrived."

Following the eunuch's sharp announcement, Nian Shilan took Songzhi's hand and walked in.

At the palace gate, Qi Yuebin was looking at her expectantly.

Seeing Nian Shilan coming, he walked forward to greet her.

"I was very worried when I heard about the incident in Penglai Island. Now that I see you are safe, I feel relieved." Qi Yuebin looked at her with a smile.

Nian Shilan held her hand and said, "Don't worry, sister."

"Come in and sit down," Qi Yuebin pulled her into the bedroom, the smile on his face not fading at all, "Just now Xiao Xiazi suddenly came to inform me that it was the emperor's decree that I should raise Princess Wen Yi. Sister, is this true?"

Nian Shilan's eyes curved slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up, "Of course."

"But Princess Wen Yi is still young, how could Concubine Cao be willing to..." Qi Yuebin's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.

Nian Shilan said softly, "Noble Lady Cao is not in good health, and I am afraid that the illness will be passed on to Princess Wen Yi. Anyway, I am afraid that Princess Wen Yi will be here soon, so sister should prepare well."

After listening to the explanation, Qi Yuebin nodded slightly, with a smile on his face like a spring breeze.

"Of course, I have asked Jixiang to prepare it. My palace is quiet and cold, and the sudden birth of a child really caught me off guard."

After saying this, he thought for a moment, "But Concubine Cao has always been in good health, how could she have fallen so seriously ill?"

Nian Shilan picked up the cup and said, "People eat grains and cereals. Birth, aging, illness and death are common. Everything depends on human effort. This incident should also serve as a warning to my sister. You must take good care of yourself so that you can take good care of Wen Yi. This will also reassure the emperor."

"That's right. I will bring Wen Yi to pay respects to the emperor in a few days."

After chatting for a while, the nanny brought Wen Yi to Yanqing Palace.

Qi Yuebin liked Wen Yi very much, and Wen Yi was not shy either. He had met her several times before, and the two of them were very cordial when they met.

As soon as he saw Wen Yi, Qi Yuebin was extremely fond of her.

He does everything himself and never lets Wen Yi suffer any harm.

Even Nian Shilan couldn't help but sigh, "Sister really loves this child."

"Wen Yi is adorable, I really like her, but..." Qi Yuebin seemed to remember something, glanced at Jixiang, and asked to take Wen Yi away.

She spoke after everyone left.

"Now that we've met, I'm naturally very happy, but I can't bear to think that if we separate in the future, I'm afraid my heart will be empty again. Thinking of this, these joys are no longer joyful."

Qi Yuebin was disappointed and looked a little embarrassed.

Nian Shilan held her hand, her eyes deep, "Since it was me who caused you to lose the chance to be a mother, I will definitely make up for it. If you don't want that day to come, then I will definitely not let you down."

Hearing this, Qi Yuebin pursed his lips and said nothing more.

……

"My young master, what did you just say?" Yinxiu looked at her master with a panicked look on her face.

Cao Qinmo looked at the silk handkerchief that had been stained with blood by her, her eyes filled with hatred and tears.

"This, this is Concubine Hua's purpose. I just figured it out now. She wants me to die and take my child away!"

Cao Qinmo spoke word by word, and the more she spoke, the more she thought of the scene just now.

He could only watch Wen Yi being taken away.

However, as a mother, she was unable to see her child off due to illness.

Yin Xiu hurriedly looked around behind her, then said, "My lady, you can't say that. It was the emperor's intention to send Wen Yi away. If your words were to reach the emperor's ears, he would definitely think that you are dissatisfied with the emperor's will. Besides, Concubine Hua only asked Concubine Duan to raise Wen Yi, how could it be considered stealing?"

Yinxiu obviously didn't understand and thought that the young lady might be confused because of illness.

Cao Qinmo was in very poor health and after saying a few words she started coughing violently again.

"How could my illness come so suddenly that even the imperial physician finds it difficult to treat? It must be Concubine Hua, it must be her! She owes Concubine Duan, and in order to show her favor to Concubine Duan..."

Before he could finish his words, he started knocking again.

Yinxiu hurriedly wiped the corners of her mouth, "My lady, please stop talking. I have asked someone to boil some medicine and will bring it to you later. My lady, please take a good rest after taking the medicine. When you recover, the emperor will let Princess Wen Yi return."

"No, my illness will never be cured, never again..."

"Nian Shilan, it was Nian Shilan who harmed me. I actually fell into Nian Shilan's hands..."

Yinxiu had no choice but to cover Cao Qinmo's mouth, "My lady, you must not say anything more. If someone hears you, you will be dead."

Cao Qinmo suddenly felt as if some acupuncture point had been hit, and she shuddered, "No, this is not a dead end. I can still do it, I can still resist. If I don't resist, I will really die."

After saying that, he looked at Yinxiu and said, "Quick, go to Wanpin's palace and inform her. I'll be there later after taking the medicine."

Yinxiu was helpless and didn't understand, but she felt sorry for the young lady, so she agreed and did it.

In the afternoon, Cao Qinmo dragged his sick body to Suiyuxuan.

Jing Xi helped Zhen Huan go out to greet them. Looking at Cao Qinmo's frail appearance, she said, "It's a pity that she has become like this in just a few months."

"The pain and suffering of illness is the most painful. It is like a mountain falling on your head. Now that my daughter is not by my side, I am even more heartbroken."

When Zhen Huan saw Cao Qinmo like this, she naturally felt sad, but she didn't feel too distressed.

Cao Qinmo walked closer and the two exchanged greetings.

She then asked, "Would you like to talk to me alone?"

Zhen Huan glanced at Huanbi and signaled everyone to leave.

"That's natural."

After everyone left, Cao Qinmo said sadly.

"Sister, there is something that has been buried in your heart. I feel regretful and have never dared to tell you. But now I am in unbearable pain and my time is running out. I have to speak out these things that are weighing on my heart."

Zhen Huan's face was solemn, "What's the matter, sister?"

"In fact, what happened to Concubine Chun back then was not an accident."

When these words were spoken, Zhen Huan was not very surprised. After all, she had already suspected this matter.

Chun'er is familiar with water and it is impossible for her to drown in the lotus pond.

But she couldn't directly judge who in the palace would attack Chun'er.

Later, he lost his child, and the matter of finding out the real culprit behind the incident was put on hold.

Cao Qinmo continued, "On that day, Concubine Hua was selling official positions and embezzling money, and was caught by Concubine Chun. In order to prevent the truth from being exposed, Concubine Hua killed Concubine Chun!"

"This……"

Zhen Huan opened her eyes wide in anger. She was surprised at the cause of Chun Guiren's death, and even more surprised that Concubine Hua dared to sell official positions and embezzle money!

"Not only did Concubine Hua have affairs with officials and harmed concubines, but even the incident with Liu Bin was instigated by Concubine Hua. I'm sure you know this very well. As for the miscarriage, although the real culprit behind it was found, it's an indisputable fact that Concubine Hua made you kneel in the hot sun!"

Cao Qinmo passionately enumerated all the evidence of Concubine Hua's crimes, and started coughing when he got excited.

Zhen Huan quickly handed over her silk handkerchief and asked with concern, "How are you, sister? Do you want to call the imperial physician?"
