An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

After hearing the word "ghost fetus", the emperor's expression immediately became solemn.

The imperial doctors stood by, and although many of them felt that the monk was exaggerating, they could not bear to see their master believe it, so they could only shut their mouths and listen obediently.

"What is a ghost fetus?"

"What ordinary people know as a ghost fetus is a fetus conceived by a deceased person in the underworld and a woman."

The monk paused for a moment, looking at Shen Meizhuang's suddenly pale face, "It's just that Concubine Hui's pregnancy was caused by the collision of Yin Qi.

I think something unjust happened in the palace recently, and the dead person is seeking revenge, which caused this evil fetus to appear."

Although the emperor heard it all, he was still affected by the first half of the monk's words. He looked at Shen Meizhuang with some displeasure, and seeing her pale face, he felt that she was closer to the truth.

"I, Guan Hui, have noticed that there is black air surrounding your body, especially a blood-colored palm print on your abdomen, and all the black air is rolling towards your abdomen.

The golden light on the heir's body was shrouded by the black air and was eaten away. In the next few days, Concubine Hui would often experience abdominal pain and occasionally bleed."

"What the monk means is that Concubine Hui's baby might..." The Queen hesitated to speak. She had been hoping day and night that Shen Meiyu would not be able to give birth to this baby. Naturally, she was very anxious to hear what the monk said.

However, to those who are not in the know, this is nothing more than caring for the offspring in the harem.

"If you take good care of Concubine Hui's baby, nothing will go wrong, but..."

The monk let out a long sigh, took the Buddhist beads in his hand, and asked Caixing to pass it to Shen Meizhuang.

Shen Meizhuang held it without understanding what was going on. Following the monk's instruction, she slowly moved the Buddhist beads while reciting scriptures.

After a while, Shen Meizhuang frowned. She felt pain in her abdomen and could hardly stand.

Fortunately, Caixing was watching her and helped her sit down steadily.

"Quickly check Concubine Hui's pulse. Is there something wrong with the dragon heir?" The Queen sat at the top and anxiously ordered the imperial physician to examine the patient.

Looking at her nervous expression, it seemed as if she wished she could suffer this hardship for Concubine Hui.

The monk stood aside, and only when the Buddhist beads were handed back to him did he slowly open his mouth and chant a Buddhist name.

Soon, the pain in Shen Meizhuang's abdomen subsided. Several imperial doctors looked at each other, as they were unable to find out what was going on after taking her pulse.

“The heir in Lady Hui’s belly has been greatly affected. Now that the mother’s body has come into contact with the objects blessed by the Buddha, he has developed strange visions and is trying every means to get the mother to leave.

Now that the Buddhist beads have returned to my hands, Concubine Hui has naturally recovered as before."

Shen Meizhuang held her belly, she did not believe the words of the so-called monk.

But as soon as she got the Buddhist beads, she began to feel stomach pain. It would be useless to explain that the baby in her belly was fine.

"Your Majesty, there is only one eminent monk... and he may make mistakes in judgment. Why not... invite a few more eminent monks to enter the garden, so as to pray for the heir to the throne."

Shen Meizhuang refused to give up. She always felt that someone had set up this trap to harm her and wanted to put an ominous label on the crown prince so that he would not be favored by the emperor in the future, let alone have a chance to take the throne.

Since all the imperial doctors are unable to find the cause, it would be better to find a few more so-called eminent monks. If someone says something inconsistent, then we can naturally find a way to turn things around.

Although the Emperor did not say anything about Shen Meizhuang's proposal, the Empress did agree to it. She instructed Jianqiu to invite more eminent monks for Concubine Hui so that the Buddha could bless her and she could give birth to an heir smoothly.

A few days later, the invited eminent monks gathered at the Bitong Academy again. They all had frowns on their faces and spoke similar words.

Concubine Hui had Yin energy entering her body, and the royal heir was weak.

The person who cried out for injustice has possessed the emperor's heir and has become a ghost fetus. The child born in the future will definitely destroy the feng shui of the imperial palace and leak the dragon vein's spiritual energy.

When the ghost fetus is born, it will suck the mother's essence dry. Concubine Hui may never be able to get pregnant again, and her life may even be in danger.

......

Every explanation made Shen Meizhuang break out in a cold sweat. She really couldn't understand how the baby in her belly, who was clearly growing healthily, could grow into a horrible ghost fetus that sucked the mother's essence.

Even if that white shadow was really Xiao Yinzi, he should have gone to find Concubine Hua, Concubine Li, or even Huan'er, but not to me.

Why, why did it happen to my child? I didn’t do anything.

Shen Meizhuang was so scared that she almost cried. She looked at the emperor pitifully, but was deeply hurt by his cold and ruthless eyes.

The emperor was extremely worried at this time. If this child was really a ghost fetus, not only would it harm Concubine Hui's mother, it would also destroy the country's destiny and affect me as the ruler of a country. This child...cannot be kept.

The emperor was in no mood to pay attention to Shen Meizhuang's emotions. He swung the beads in his hand, hesitating about how to make Shen Meizhuang willingly abort the child.

"Your Majesty, I have never had any grudge against that little Yinzi. How could he not take revenge on others but come to harm me? There must be something wrong. My baby is fine!"

The emperor pondered for a long time before waving his hand and asking Shen Meizhuang to sit next to him.

Seeing that the emperor was finally in a mood to pay attention to her, Shen Meizhuang was so overwhelmed with emotion that she leaned on the emperor's shoulder and cried bitterly.

The emperor could hardly hide his grief, but after all, his status and position were threatened, so his grief seemed particularly shallow.

He sighed deeply, stroked Shen Meizhuang's shoulder and comforted her softly, "I am looking forward to having our child, but he will harm your body, I...can't bear it."

When Shen Meizhuang heard the emperor say this, she really thought that she was highly valued by the emperor. "Your Majesty, I wonder if someone did this on purpose to hurt our child. The words these monks said are too vague. If they get out, wouldn't I and the child become unlucky people? How can we gain a foothold in this palace in the future?"

The emperor and the queen looked at each other, and both saw impatience in each other's eyes.

"Do you want to call Zhen Changzai over? After all, she is Xiao Yinzi's master. Maybe there will be some breakthrough." The Queen's eyes were hurt by the Emperor's concern for Shen Meizhuang. She suppressed her displeasure and decided to call Zhen Changzai over to give Shen Meizhuang a heavy blow.

Seeing that things might be turning around, Shen Meizhuang immediately begged the emperor to call Zhen Changzai to Bitong Academy.

"All the eminent monks, please take a look at this Zhen Changzai. The ghost figure came from Yuedi Yunju."

The leading monk came forward, turning the Buddhist beads and muttering something. After a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhen Huan, but he slowly backed away as if he was shocked by something.

"There is a faint dragon aura in Concubine Zhen's body. I think it's because the emperor has been accompanying her these days.

It was precisely because of the dragon aura of the ruler that the ghost did not dare to approach Zhen Changzai.

Only then did he change direction and rushed towards Concubine Hui, who was closest to Concubine Zhen."

The monk clasped his hands together and looked at Shen Meizhuang with eyes full of compassion, "It can be considered an unprovoked disaster."

"If I accompany Lady Hui these days, it may be helpful."

The monk shook his head. His tone was the same as usual, but he pronounced a death sentence on Shen Meizhuang and the child in her belly. "The ghost fetus has been formed. It will be born in a few months and bring disaster to the world."

"How is this possible? Is there really no other way?" Zhen Huan was shocked. She held Shen Meizhuang's hand and tears streamed down her face.

No one in the hall responded. The unbearable silence made Shen Meizhuang frown. She looked at Zhen Huan crying in front of her and for the first time felt some resentment towards her.

If she hadn't stood by me, if she hadn't been entangled with Prince Guo, if she hadn't displeased Concubine Hua, how could my child have suffered so much.

"According to the opinions of the senior monks, is there a way to resolve this disaster?"

A group of monks chanted Buddhist mantras at the same time and counted the Buddhist beads in their hands hurriedly. After the queen's repeated questioning, the leader slowly spoke.

"Sending the royal heir back into reincarnation is the only solution."

As soon as she said this, Shen Meizhuang immediately collapsed into the ground. She had been worried that the life of the baby in her belly might be in danger.

The monk's words were almost confirmed. There was no room for maneuver except to abort the baby.

But the emperor still seemed reluctant. He raised his hand and then put it down. After a long time, he ordered the monks to stay in the Bitong Academy and chant scriptures and pray for Concubine Shen.

"There will be a way, Mei'er. I won't let anything happen to our child." The emperor hugged Shen Meizhuang in his arms to comfort her. He was Shen Meizhuang's backbone. Giving such a promise at this time really comforted Shen Meizhuang.

Zhen Huan stood aside, and couldn't help feeling a little jealous when she saw the emperor and Shen Meiyu's deep love.

But she still reminded herself in her heart that that was her sister Mei, and if the emperor favored her, he would favor herself.

The two of them are now in the same boat. Only by not being jealous of each other and holding on to the emperor's favor can they live longer and better in this harem.

The Emperor left to accompany Shen Meizhuang, while the Empress and Zhen Huan slowly left the Bitong Academy.

The two walked a long way before they dismissed the servants who followed them and sat down to talk together.

"Using the matter of ghosts and gods to kill two birds with one stone, Zhen Changzai really makes me look at her in a new light."

Zhen Huan did not think that doing these bad things was worthy of praise. She was forced to do these things against her will, and at this moment she felt as if her heart was being burned by fire.

"I didn't want to do that."

The Queen was amused by Zhen Huan's words. She smiled and pointed in the direction of Bitong Academy, "Then you can rush back to Bitong Academy immediately and tell the Emperor and Concubine Hui that all this was secretly planned by you.

This way, Concubine Hui's child can be safely saved, and you won't have to worry about your conscience anymore."

Zhen Huan glanced at the Queen's hand and immediately lowered her head, refusing to look again. "If the Queen hadn't bribed these monks, this matter would not have been confirmed."

"If you hadn't asked the Imperial Observatory to say that the child in Concubine Hui's belly had offended the emperor, I wouldn't have had to bribe the monks to help you cover up this lie.

Now that this has been done, why bother looking for a reason to remove yourself from the picture?"

The Queen did not give her a chance to wake up. She pointed out Zhen Huan's hypocrisy mercilessly and exposed all her dirty deeds to the public.

"He killed Noble An's offspring, killed Noble Tian, ​​and now he wants to kill Noble Hui.

Zhen Changzai, from the moment you became entangled with Prince Guo, you were destined not to be a clean daughter of the Zhen family."

Some of these things were done by Zhen Huan, but some were not. Zhen Huan refused to admit it and immediately wanted to refute the Queen.

"Let's not talk about other things for now. The Empress is also involved in the matter of Concubine Hui. If I admit it, the Empress will be implicated."

Zhen Huan's threat was so weak that the Queen was not afraid at all. Instead, she nodded with a smile.

"Then Concubine Zhen should go back to Bitong Academy and tell her everything. See if your good sister will forgive you."

Zhen Huan clenched her fists, and her pretty face lost all color.

Now that she has done this, she can only hide it from Shen Meiyu for the rest of her life. Otherwise, she will be isolated and helpless in the palace, and will probably be controlled by the Queen for the rest of her life.

Zhen Huan forced a smile, "I think Concubine Hua was responsible for the incident involving Concubine Tian. The Queen detained Concubine Li for a night. Did she find out anything during the interrogation?"

When it comes to the matter of Concubine Li, the Queen could only sigh helplessly. She didn't know if God was helping Concubine Hua, because Concubine Li was obviously crazy, but she still didn't say anything.

"Princess Li has gone mad. I think she talks nonsense every day. I think it's possible that her personal maid heard anything she said."

Zhen Huan had something in mind. She was unwilling to let Concubine Hua escape like this, so she had to grab hold of even the slim chance.

"Your Highness has connections in the harem, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to bribe a palace maid."

Although the Queen was somewhat tempted, she did not want to expose her true intentions just because of a small minion like Lipin.

She has many concubines under her, so she can just find one of them to do this.

Xia, Dong and Chun are good choices. Their families have been bondservants for generations, making them the most suitable times to do small tasks like gathering information and winning people's hearts.

"Don't worry, I have my own choice. The most important thing right now is the matter of Concubine Hui.

My sister went to Bitong Academy today. Do you have any new ideas? "

Zhen Huan sighed deeply and turned to look in the direction of Bitong Academy.

The emperor was determined to save Shen Meizhuang's fetus, even ignoring the fact that the dragon heir would affect the fortune of the Qing Dynasty. This made him feel constrained.

"The Emperor wants to save Concubine Hui's pregnancy... I'm afraid we can't even reach Bitong Academy."

The Queen looked at Zhen Huan meaningfully. She knew the Emperor best and knew that Concubine Hui would never keep the baby.

However, the Emperor would not do it himself. Just like Concubine Hua's pregnancy was aborted by Concubine Duan using safflower, the Emperor would also find someone to abort Concubine Hui's pregnancy.

And Zhen Changzai, who is blessed by the "dragon spirit", must be the best candidate.

"Then Concubine Zhen should think carefully about what the weakness of your best sister is."

The queen said no more. She called Jianqiu and left in a good mood.

Zhen Huan sat there for a long time, struggling internally.

Looking at Shen Meizhuang's sad face today, she felt somewhat reluctant.

However, this feeling of reluctance only lasted for a moment before it was suppressed by his own and his family's lives.

"Sister Mei, Huan'er can only apologize to you."
