Chapter 365: Concubine Liu feels that the lips and teeth are in danger
The emperor's eyes suddenly turned cold, and there was a murderous aura around him, which made people shudder!
Queen...very good!
Although Nangong Xuanyu didn't say anything, everyone felt the low pressure and the atmosphere became increasingly cold.
The imperial carriage went quickly towards Zhongcui Palace. Li Changde glanced in the direction of Kunning Palace and shook his head.
The Queen's time is running out, and she's trying to commit suicide before she dies...
"Your servant greets His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"
Nangong Xuanyu ignored the palace maids who were bowing, strode into the inner room, and gently lifted the bed curtain.
Shen Zhinian's face was pale and her brows were furrowed. Even when she fell asleep, she kept covering her stomach with both hands, looking very uncomfortable.
The emperor's heart ached suddenly. He didn't wake her up, but lowered the bed curtain and looked at Tang Luochuan: "How are Concubine Rou and the heir?!"
Tang Luochuan bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou accidentally fell, which caused her miscarriage."
"After my humble servant's best efforts to treat her, she is no longer in danger, but she still needs to take pregnancy-maintaining medicine and stay in bed for a while."
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, but his face became even gloomier.
Nian Nian had been doing well with this pregnancy, and even if she had some pregnancy symptoms, they were not serious. But now she has reached the point where she needs to take pregnancy-maintaining medicine and stay in bed to recuperate!
It’s all because of the Queen. She’s about to die, but she’s still restless!
"Your Majesty, are you here?"
Shen Zhinian's weak voice came from behind the bed curtains.
Nangong Xuanyu immediately went over and held her cold hand: "It's me! Nian Nian, I'm here!"
Shen Zhinian's voice was filled with anxiety: "Your Majesty, how is our child?"
The emperor said in a gentle voice, "The doctor said it's okay, you don't have to worry."
Shen Zhinian's heart fell back into his chest, and he said apologetically: "The Queen once... Although she did some bad things, as the saying goes, a dying man's words are good."
"Since the Queen wants to see me, there is no reason for me to disobey her order. But I didn't expect... that I would be so careless."
"I heard that the Empress is in a very bad condition and I'm afraid she won't be able to wait too long... Since I'm fine, I should obey your orders and go to Kunning Palace to see the Empress for the last time."
Married at a young age, Queen Jiang understood the emperor, and the emperor also understood Queen Jiang.
At this time, even if she wanted to see someone, she should see someone close to her. Why would she see Nian Nian?
Nian Nian was simple-minded, always thinking that people were about to die, and their words were kind. But she didn't know that some people were poisonous snakes, and they still tried to stir up trouble before they died!
"Take good care of your baby, and ignore the queen."
Shen Zhinian frowned uneasily, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "But Her Majesty is the Queen after all. If I don't obey her orders, people will gossip..."
The emperor tucked the quilt in for Shen Zhinian and comforted her, "I told you to rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. Who dares to gossip?"
"Okay, take a rest first and don't think about these things. I'll come to see you later."
Shen Zhinian hesitated to speak, but in the end he did not dare to disobey the emperor's order: "...Yes."
As Nangong Xuanyu stood up and walked out, everyone immediately saluted: "Farewell, Your Majesty!"
The emperor was not unaware of some of the things that Queen Jiang had done. The reason why he kept silent about it was that he had to take care of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and could not depose the queen.
Second, Queen Jiang was going to die anyway. He wanted to preserve her dignity for the sake of their friendship when they were young.
But she should never, ever use the love knot from their wedding night to arouse the last bit of pity in his heart. After he lifted the ban on Kunning Palace, she plotted against Nian Nian!
After leaving Zhongcui Palace, the emperor's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Pass on my decree, all the palace servants in Kunning Palace who serve the queen closely, be sent to the Ministry of Punishment for severe torture! Make sure to interrogate and find out what evil things the queen has done over the years!"
Li Changde was startled, but was not surprised by the result: "Yes!"
……
Kunning Palace.
The guards went in and out, completely disregarding Queen Jiang's status and dignity, and arrested all of her confidants!
Fanghua seemed to have a premonition that she would never be able to get out after entering the Ministry of Punishment, and she kept reaching out to the inner room: "Empress, please save me! Empress..."
However, Queen Jiang now has difficulty even speaking, so how can she be saved?
The once glorious head nanny of Kunning Palace was dragged away by the guards like a dead dog.
How majestic and magnificent the Kunning Palace was in the past!
Now, porcelain and ornaments are scattered all over the floor, creating a huge mess and exuding an air of desolation.
Just like the dying body of Queen Jiang.
After this incident spread, it caused an uproar in the harem!
They had always believed that His Majesty still cared about the love between husband and wife, so when he heard that the Empress was dying, he immediately lifted the confinement in Kunning Palace.
How come only a few hours have passed and Your Majesty has already made such a fuss?
After learning that Fanghua, who was beside the Empress, had gone to Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Rou had a miscarriage. For a time, everyone speculated.
However, because of what happened in Kunning Palace, the entire harem was filled with an atmosphere of impending storm, and no one dared to go out and stir up trouble at this time.
……
Yongshou Palace.
"Your Majesty really has no shame at all. He doesn't even give the sick queen any face. This move is an attempt to depose her!"
"That's great. It saves that sick woman from occupying the position of Empress until her death!"
"My aunt has been secretly collecting a lot of evidence of the evil deeds committed by the queen over the years. But she has always said that the time has not come yet and she should wait a little longer before taking action against that sick woman. Now the opportunity has finally come!"
"With her aunt secretly fanning the flames, there is no way she will die as the queen!"
Concubine Liu smiled and said, "During the selection last year, my aunt took a liking to Concubine Rou at first sight and felt that after she entered the palace, she would become the sharpest knife in my hand! The older you are, the wiser you are. My aunt's vision is indeed correct!"
Cuizhu and the others had never seen the Imperial Concubine in such a good mood, and they all echoed: "The one in Kunning Palace is unworthy of the position, and should have stepped down and made way for the Imperial Concubine!"
However, Concubine Liu was laughing, but suddenly she couldn't laugh anymore...
"Everyone in the palace said that His Majesty was furious and interrogated the people in Kunning Palace because of the Queen's summons, which caused Concubine Rou to have a miscarriage."
"Roupin... Is Roupin really that important to His Majesty? How could he not even care about the last dignity of his wife?"
At this moment, Concubine Liu was in a very complicated mood. She was happy but also excited that Queen Jiang might be deposed.
She was also shocked and jealous of the emperor's concern for Shen Zhinian.
Even... after calming down, there is still a sense of mutual dependence...
