Concubine Yue naturally said nothing more. She took the bowl handed to her by Madam Hu and ate it gracefully.

But for some reason, Nanny Hu had a strange feeling in her heart, as if something was going to happen.

She wanted to leave and return to the Pepper Palace, but Xi kept her back on the pretext of "looking after Concubine Yue for a while longer."

Madam Hu didn't think much about this. After all, since Concubine Yue became pregnant, she had often come to take care of her under the orders of the Queen.

So she stayed, seeing that it was almost time for dinner.

It seemed inappropriate for Xi and Xu Zhimiao to stay any longer, so they stood up and said goodbye.

"Ah! It hurts so much!" Concubine Yue suddenly covered her stomach and groaned in pain.

Her face turned pale almost instantly, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on her forehead.

"Madam!" Xi supported her with a look of fear and worry, "Madam Hu, quickly send someone to summon the imperial physician. You and I will help Madam go to bed."

Nanny Hu suddenly realized what was going on, but she didn't dare to have any extra thoughts. She quickly asked someone to find the imperial physician, and she and Xi helped Concubine Yue back to her bedroom.

Seeing Concubine Yue suddenly suffer from stomachache, Xu Zhimiao was dazed for a moment.

[What happened? Why did I suddenly have a stomachache? Could it be that... it happened earlier than expected? ]

"Madam Hu, the Queen... the Queen is bleeding a lot! What should we do?" Xi's panicked voice came.

[Bleeding? Miscarriage?]

[Could it be that my intervention caused many things to become different? Is this the so-called butterfly effect?]

[Yes! This must be the case! In order to change the fate of myself and the Houfu family as cannon fodder, I changed direction again and again. So, the child of Concubine Yue also met with an accident in advance? ]

[Then... what about the man who threw dirty water on Concubine Yue? Will he appear at this time to testify against Concubine Yue? And then...]

"Miao Miao, you have never conceived a child. It is not appropriate for you to stay here. You should go back home first and say hello to your family. I may not be able to leave the palace and return home for the time being."

Xi came out hurriedly and spoke to Xu Zhimiao anxiously.

Xu Zhimiao reacted and nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Mother, I understand. Then I will leave the palace and return home first."

"Well, go ahead." Xi nodded.

Zhi Miao had just reminded her that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. If that bastard man showed up and threw dirty water on Yue Er, that wouldn't be a good thing.

Miaomiao must be allowed to return home to tell Changlin and Shaochen father and son about Yue'er's situation, and they must also be asked to make preparations.

……

Pepper House

"Your Majesty, something happened to Concubine Yue." The palace maid arranged by Madam Hu hurried over here.

"What?!" The queen was shocked and stood up suddenly. "What happened?"

"The concubine Yue suddenly had a stomachache and bled a lot."

"Where is the imperial physician? Have you asked for the imperial physician?" The queen's face was full of panic.

This was completely out of her plan. She was planning to take action against Concubine Yue, but not today.

How... did something happen? And it happened at the moment when Xi and Ruan entered the palace?

The queen's eyelids were twitching and a bad premonition was rising in her heart.

"Madame Hu has sent someone to invite them. At this moment, Madame Hu and Madam Mu are accompanying Concubine Yue."

"Where is Xu Zhimiao?" asked Ruan Lizi.

The palace maid was slightly startled, and quickly said, "The concubine of Prince Mu has already left. Madam Mu asked her to leave first, saying that she should go back to the mansion to tell the Marquis and others that she would not be able to leave the palace and return to the mansion for a while. Tell them not to worry."

"No, no!" Ruan Lizi frowned and whispered softly.

"What's wrong?" the queen asked in a deep voice.

Those cold eyes stared straight at her, and his words were full of questioning.

Ruan Lizi shook her head and frowned even more tightly, "Your Majesty, I can't tell you what's wrong. But I just feel that Xu Zhimiao shouldn't leave at this time."

"Madam Xu, although the Crown Prince's wife is a married woman, she is pregnant after all. It is not appropriate for her to enter Concubine Yue's bedroom. It is reasonable for Madam Mu to let her leave first." Eunuch An said.

The Queen also felt that this statement made sense.

Ruan Lizi took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "Your Majesty, I really can't tell what's wrong. But, it's always better to be safe than sorry."

Hearing this, the queen nodded and agreed with her words, "Then, according to your opinion, what should we do?"

Ruan Lizi turned to look at Xu Panyue, "Yue'er, you should hurry back to the Mu Mansion. Make sure to keep an eye on Xu Zhimiao and watch her every move. It would be best if Yiwen also keeps an eye on Mu Shaochen."

"Watch their every move and every word. Then tell the Queen without missing a word."

Xu Panyue nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, mother. I know what to do. I will go back now."

She bowed respectfully to the queen and said, "Your Majesty, I will leave first."

"Yes." The queen responded and waved at her.

Xu Panyue stepped back and left.

"Your Majesty, I will accompany you to Bixia Courtyard to see Concubine Yue." Ruan Lizi said in a deep voice.

The queen hurried towards Bixia Courtyard.

At this time, she must not make any mistakes. She has not yet arranged many things in the future.

If Concubine Yue died at this time, all her previous arrangements would have been in vain.

She wanted to use Concubine Yue to get rid of the Xi family, and then drag the Dingyuan Marquis' family into the water.

Of course, she didn't need to take action against the Dingyuan Marquis family. Naturally, the second branch of the Mu family would take action. All she had to do was make the emperor suspicious of Mu Changlin.

The emperor trusts Mu Changlin and his son too much, which is not a good thing for them and their son.

Although the emperor still dislikes the second prince, if this continues, sooner or later, the second prince will replace the third prince.

And what she worries most...

Therefore, at this time, Concubine Yue must not have any problems. Everything must proceed in an orderly manner according to her plan.

She will never allow any mistake in any link!

……

Led by the palace servants, Xu Zhimiao walked towards the palace gate.

But she didn't expect to meet Mu Shaochen who was also leaving the palace at the palace gate.

"Madam?" Mu Shaochen looked at her in confusion, "Why are you the only one out? Where's mother?"

"Empress Yue had an accident. She had a stomachache and spotting. My mother said that it was not appropriate for me to stay in Concubine Yue's Bixia Courtyard, so she asked me to leave the palace and return home first. I didn't expect to meet my husband." Xu Zhimiao said with a heavy face.

[Ah, how should I tell him that Concubine Yue had a miscarriage in all likelihood. And how should I tell him that the Queen has been plotting against Concubine Yue and wants to put the Xi family and the Marquis's Mansion to death?]

[Also, before Concubine Yue entered the palace, the man who was in love with her had already been bribed by the Queen. Would he enter the palace and accuse Concubine Yue of seducing him, and then the Queen would make a big fuss about it to alienate the relationship between the Emperor and the Marquis' Mansion?]
