God favors the troublemaker, and the protagonist is forced to become evil

Chapter 83: The Palace Maid's Guide to Advancement 31

The imperial physician took the pill, crushed it, sniffed it carefully, and tasted it. After thinking for a moment, he reported to Dongfang Yu, "Your Majesty, this medicine does contain drugs that cause fetal malformations."

"Queen, do you plead guilty?" Dongfang Yu had already planned to depose the queen, and send the child to the cold palace after he was born.

Such a vicious woman has harmed the royal heir. She could have had three healthy children, but now she has to get rid of them.

It’s all because of this bitch. She deserves to be cut into pieces.

Yu Qingge stood there blankly, feeling extremely confused.

What do you mean?

Is there something wrong with your medicine?

"Your Majesty! Please forgive me, it's all my fault. The elixirs were all obtained from the common people. It has nothing to do with the Queen, Your Majesty." Madam Yu knelt on the ground, her heart sank.

No matter what, the Yu family must be protected.

"So it was you and your daughter who had discussed this!" Dongfang Yu gritted his teeth. Like mother, like daughter. The two vicious women were stirring up trouble in his harem, making it a chaotic place.

It’s such a sin. Why did I marry such a person as my queen?

“Your Majesty, this was all my idea. It has nothing to do with the Queen. I was anxious to give the Queen a child, so I resorted to this desperate measure. I didn’t expect that the elixir was poisonous.” Madam Yu took all the blame on herself, after all, many aristocratic families were involved.

"Someone, bring Madam Yu to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation." Dongfang Yu couldn't bear to listen to the inner drama of the mother and daughter. He just wanted one result, the truth of the matter.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment is where servants go. How can my mother go there? Your Majesty, please have mercy!" Yu Qingge cried and begged the emperor. She didn't want her mother to suffer such humiliation.

"Empress, you'd better take good care of your pregnancy and don't worry about other things. Someone, keep an eye on the Queen. She is not allowed to leave Kunning Palace without being summoned." As soon as Dongfang Yujin opened his mouth, many palace servants came and closed the gate of Kunning Palace.

Yu Qingge shouted no, but no one paid any attention to her.

She watched her mother being taken away and she could do nothing.

Confusion, despair, and bitterness all crept into her heart. She was extremely scared and didn't know what to do next.

What should I do in the future without my mother by my side?

In the Zichen Palace, Dongfang Yu read one memorial after another. Although the affairs of the harem made him upset, the affairs of the state were more important.

In the evening, the people sent out to investigate returned with many confessions and documents.

"Your Majesty, Madam Yu has confessed. This is her confession."

Dongfang Yu picked up the confession and read it. The general meaning of it was: Madam Yu asked for five fertility pills from the people, which guaranteed success. She gave them to young and easy-to-control low-ranking concubines to eat, and exchanged benefits with them, hoping that they would help the queen give birth to children. Unexpectedly, the pills contained teratogenic ingredients, which she was not aware of.

Dongfang Yu picked up another document, which roughly recorded the circulation of the elixir. He didn't expect that so many people in the folk took this elixir, but none of them had children born with deformities like him.

This elixir involves many ducal families, so I'm afraid it would be a bad idea to make a big move.

"Your Majesty, Madam Yu committed suicide in the Ministry of Punishment, but she was rescued."

Dongfang Yu thought that it was just right that Madam Yu was willing to take all the blame alone, otherwise it would not end well.

Mrs. Yu was very desperate. This elixir was given to her by her own sister, who said that she gave birth to a boy with this elixir.

She couldn't give her away. Her second daughter was married to her sister's Duke's Mansion. If the Yu family fell, the Duke's Mansion could not fall. With it, Youyou still had support in the palace.

What's more, my sister's elixir might have been given by my mother. If His Majesty wants to investigate and prosecute all the people involved, my mother's family will not be spared. What should I do with my children then?

The only thing I can do now is to admit my guilt and appease His Majesty's anger.

In fact, Mrs. Yu didn't know that this elixir involved many noble families, and any family involved in any of the links might tamper with the elixir.

Therefore, Dongfang Yu was extremely alarmed, but he could not alert the enemy and could only investigate quietly in secret.

Now, it would be best if someone were willing to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty! Madam Yu died in the Ministry of Punishment to apologize for her crime. She said she was sorry to Your Majesty."

Dongfang Yu nodded, waved his hand and asked the people to leave.

Yu Qingge was frightened by what had just happened and was worried about her mother's safety, so she gave birth prematurely.

Her pregnancy was unstable to begin with and she had bleeding from below.

When Huadie saw this, she hurried to ask for the imperial physician.

Fortunately, Kunning Palace had already been cleaned up. Everything was arranged by Madam Yu, and there were enough people.

However, Yu Qingge's baby is less than nine months old and there is still more than a month before the due date. There is a possibility that the baby may have deficiencies when it is born.

Yu Qingge was so sad that she had no intention of giving birth. However, she had unbearable stomach pain and her mother was not around, so she cried and said she didn't want to give birth.

Hua Die felt very sad, but there was nothing she could do. She had to take the initiative to ask His Majesty for mercy and ask his wife to come back to accompany her during the birthing.

It turned out that Mrs. Yu had already passed away.

She returned to Kunning Palace in a daze, not knowing whether she should tell Yu Qingge.

After much trouble in Kunning Palace until late at night, Yu Qingge finally gave birth to the child successfully.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a little prince." The midwife was delighted, thinking that this trip was not in vain.

Yu Qingge also felt happy in her heart. Now, she should be able to secure her position as queen. She believed that His Majesty would give her respect for the sake of his legitimate son.

But the little prince was born weak, as wrinkled as a kitten. He couldn’t even cry, and his whole body had begun to turn purple.

The imperial physician had to work very hard to make the child cry.

This is really a job that shortens your life.

The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his brow and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Dongfang Yu heard the news of the birth of a child in Kunning Palace, but he did not go to see it in person. He just told Yu Qingge to take good care of herself during the confinement period and that other matters could be discussed later.

Although Yu Qingge was unhappy that Dongfang Yu did not come to visit his son in person, when she thought about the previous elixir incident, it would be better not to meet Dongfang Yu.

What's more, my own children were born healthy, while the children born to concubines were born because of me...

At the beginning, if it weren’t for their own elixirs, there would be no possibility for those concubines to get pregnant.

Since having a child, Yu Qingge has become more open-minded about everything and she feels that her future has become brighter.

The news of the successful birth of a baby in Kunning Palace soon spread throughout the harem. The queen gave birth to a healthy prince.
