"Speak!" Emperor Wen of Zhou stared at the imperial physician with a cold voice.

He has many concubines in his harem, but there has been no good news in the past ten years.

Ten years ago, there were reports that some concubines were pregnant, but unfortunately, the babies either miscarried early or died in the womb.

The last one was born to Concubine Yu, and she was a princess.

When Concubine Yu was pregnant, the imperial physician diagnosed that she was going to have a prince.

Since then, Concubine Yu has been very careful every day and never left her house. All her food, clothing and daily expenses were arranged by the Queen herself.

Emperor Wen of Zhou was naturally happy, after all, he had no offspring.

Unfortunately, she was born a princess.

The queen, who had never gotten angry before, became furious and had the imperial physician beaten with ten boards.

Concubine Yu, on the other hand, was not angry at all about the prince becoming a princess. She even loved her daughter very much.

Since then, there has been no good news from the harem.

Emperor Wen of Zhou once thought that there was something wrong with his body. If not, why didn't any of his concubines get pregnant?

It was understandable that the older concubines didn't get pregnant, but it was hard to understand that the new young concubines didn't get pregnant either.

He also secretly went to the hospital for a checkup, but there was nothing wrong with him. He was in good health.

Then, he asked the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau to examine all the concubines one by one, and the conclusion was that there was no problem with any of them.

This is puzzling.

No one has any problems, but why is there no good news?

The imperial doctors were unable to explain this, and could only say that it was not the right time.

Finally, three years after Concubine Yue entered the palace, she had good news in her belly.

This could be said to be a happy event for the entire imperial palace, and even the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau said that Concubine Yue's baby should be a boy.

Emperor Wen of Zhou was extremely happy about this. The queen was also in a very happy mood.

Emperor Wen of Zhou currently had only two sons, the second prince and the third prince, and two princesses.

The baby in Concubine Yue's belly is a child born in her old age.

But now...

Emperor Wen of Zhou was furious. How dare you harm the heir to the throne? I will never let you off easily! No matter who it is!

But when the Queen saw the bowl in the imperial physician's hand, her expression suddenly changed.

Before the imperial physician could say anything, he knelt down before the emperor.

"Queen, what are you doing?" The emperor looked at her in confusion and reached out to help her.

Madam Hu also knelt down.

"Your Majesty, this bowl of blood swallows in the hands of the imperial physician was picked out by Madam Hu from the storeroom today and sent to Concubine Yue. This bowl was also sent by me."

"This white jade bowl was given to me by the Emperor last year. I am so happy about the fact that my sister Yue is pregnant that I dare not slack off in the slightest."

"I have taken great pains to take care of her food, clothing and other expenses. All the servants in Bixia Courtyard were transferred from the Pepper Palace by me."

"Every one of them is trustworthy to me. How come... why is there something wrong with this blood swallow? I am very worried. I hope Your Majesty will investigate it clearly."

"Like the Emperor, I am looking forward to the birth of a child. I have been so careful and cautious, but someone still took advantage of me and harmed Concubine Yue!"

"It is my fault for not managing the harem properly. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, it's all my fault! The Queen has been very good. It was because I didn't take good care of Concubine Yue that the bad guys had the opportunity to harm Concubine Yue and the little prince. I am willing to accept any punishment."

Nanny Hu kowtowed heavily to Emperor Wen of Zhou.

"I really can't understand it! I picked the blood swallows from the storehouse of the Pepper Palace, sent them to the Bixia Courtyard, and I personally watched over the fire and cooked them."

"I never took my eyes off it. After it was cooked, I personally gave it to Concubine Yue."

"There was no contact with anyone else during the whole process. How could she have been drugged to induce abortion?"

Emperor Wen of Zhou was very angry. His face was gloomy and cold, and there was a hint of coldness all over his body.

He glanced at everyone kneeling on the ground, "Please let us go! Beat all the servants of Bixia Courtyard to death! With so many people, they can't even take care of one master! There's no point in living!"

"Yes!" The Imperial Chief Steward begged for release.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am innocent!" She begged everyone, but to no avail.

"Investigate!" Emperor Zhou Wen's cold voice sounded again, "Please let him go. Investigate carefully for me! Make sure to find the murderer! He dared to kill the heir to the throne and frame the queen right under my nose. I will kill all his clans!"

"Yes!"

Xi knelt on the ground and said nothing. She really admired the Queen's actions just now!

To strike first is to gain the advantage, and then to put the enemy in a desperate situation.

The Queen is indeed very clever!

With just a few words, he not only cleared himself of all blame, but also intentionally pointed the finger at Ling'er.

If Zhimiao's inner voice had not been heard, who would have known that such a dignified and elegant queen, who was so kind to everyone, could be such a cruel and vicious person?

He harmed so many people in the harem, but no one suspected him at all.

Sure enough, the queen is good at pretending!

It's a pity that Zhi Miao is not here at this time! If Zhi Miao were here, he would definitely know a lot of things that they don't know.

"Madam Mu." The Queen suddenly looked at Xi and asked in a puzzled tone, "When Concubine Yue got into trouble, you were the only one by her side. Did she eat anything else besides this bowl of blood swallows?"

After these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell directly on Xi.

Especially Emperor Wen of Zhou, his eyes were almost filled with murderous anger.

"Madam Mu, could it be that you accidentally gave Concubine Yue something to eat? Or did you accidentally drop something into that bowl of blood bird's nest?" Ruan Lizi's tone was questioning with a hint of gloating.

"Madam Mu, since Concubine Yue became pregnant, the Queen has been taking care of her wholeheartedly. There has never been any problem."

"But today, after you and the Crown Prince's Concubine came to visit Concubine Yue, why did Concubine Yue get into trouble?"

"I brought Zhi Miao up by myself. I know exactly what kind of person she is."

As she spoke, she suddenly turned to Emperor Zhou Wen and kowtowed heavily, "Your Majesty, I have something to say! It's about Prince Mu's Consort..."

"Madam Xu!" Xi scolded softly, "What nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean when Concubine Yue got into trouble, I was the only one with her? At that time, Madam Hu was there, and Luoye and Luohua were there too!"

"The ruby ​​hairpin on Concubine Yue's head was put there by Luo Ye!"

"Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Yue..."

"Your Majesty, when we were in the Pepper Room, Xu Panyue handed Concubine Yue a cup of tea, and Concubine Yue drank it! I beg you to let the imperial physician examine that cup of tea! I suspect that Xu Panyue drugged Concubine Yue!"

Xi interrupted Ruan Lizi and said solemnly.

"You're talking nonsense! You're slandering me!" Ruan Lizi glared at Xi Qiqing with red eyes.

"Your Majesty, Old Madam Mu brought Miss Mu to ask for an audience. She said it's about Concubine Yue's miscarriage." Qiu went to Emperor Wen of Zhou and said softly.
