Chapter 109 Liu Ruyan is suspected to be pregnant
All the words Xunyou wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
At this moment, even if she jumped out to take the blame, no one would believe her. Instead, everyone would think that she and Xunmei were instructed by the young master.
Xunyou didn't know whether she should be anxious or thankful...
"His Majesty……"
Concubine Kang looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes: "I have always believed that it was that lowly maid Xunmei who killed my child on her own initiative. But if that is the case, why did Concubine Liu want to kill me?"
"This can only mean that she is the real culprit behind the scenes! She is afraid that one day, I will know the truth and take revenge on her, so she took the initiative."
"My poor child suffered such an unexpected disaster while still in the womb... Your Majesty, you must make a decision for me!"
The emperor signaled to the palace maid to help Concubine Kang up.
At this moment, he looked at Liu Ruyan with only disgust in his eyes, and asked without any emotion: "At this point, what else do you have to say?!"
Shen Zhinian and Kang Guiren played the good cop and the bad cop respectively, not only exposing what she had done, but also blocking all her escape routes. Liu Ruyan knew that she was one step behind, and it was meaningless to deny it any further.
She raised her palm-sized face, her delicate body trembling slightly, her face full of tears, and I felt pity for her: "Your Majesty, this was indeed done by me, but I had no choice but to do it. I was confused for a moment..."
"I really didn't harm Sister Kang's child. But she took her anger out on me because of my miscarriage. Not only did she ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to cut off all the charcoal in Yilan Pavilion, she also cut down on my food, clothing and other expenses without any bottom line..."
"I am your noble concubine after all, but it is so cold that it is hard to even have a sip of hot water every day. At night, it is even more freezing cold inside and outside Yilan Pavilion..."
"Xunyou and I were forced to do this because Sister Kang had forced us to live. But your majesty, I have never thought of harming Sister Kang's life. I just wanted to make her sick so that she wouldn't have time to target me."
"I know I was wrong. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me this time, considering that I have my own difficulties..."
Shen Zhinian sneered in his heart.
Liu Ruyan was indeed amazing. She was able to find a perfect excuse in such a short time. She also transformed her image from an aggressor to a victim with her own reasons. Concubine Kang, on the other hand, became an arrogant and domineering person who suffered the consequences of her actions.
Concubine Kang was not an eloquent person. This was the first time she encountered such a difficult opponent. She didn't know how to refute for a moment and subconsciously looked at Shen Zhinian.
Shen Zhinian seemed to be caught in the middle, feeling torn: "This... Sister Liu has her own reasons, but Sister Kang has experienced the pain of losing her son, and it is understandable that she couldn't control herself for a while. It's really hard to say what is right and wrong..."
The emperor looked at Liu Ruyan coldly and said, "What's your reason? In the final analysis, it was you who failed to control your subordinates first, which led to the people around you harming Concubine Kang's child. Even if Concubine Kang is angry about something, you should bear it!"
"Besides, Concubine Kang lost her own flesh and blood, and she only ordered people to deduct your expenses to make you suffer. But you took action and used a method that could kill people."
"I always thought you were gentle and kind, but I didn't expect you to be so cunning. You are simply a vicious woman!"
How could ordinary people bear the power of the emperor? Liu Ruyan fell to the ground. She didn't expect the emperor to use such a heartbreaking word to describe her.
There were several times when she could have mitigated the charges against her, but Shen Zhinian ruined them all with just a few words!
This bitch Shen Zhinian was born to be her nemesis!
The emperor was too lazy to look at Liu Ruyan's pretentious appearance and said in a deep voice: "Come here, pass on my order. Concubine Liu has evil intentions and is plotting to murder the concubines..."
Who would have thought that before he could finish his words, Liu Ruyan covered her stomach and fainted.
"Little Master!"
Xunyou's heart has turned cold, but she and Liu Ruyan are tied to the same rope. If Liu Ruyan is punished by the emperor, she will not have a good ending either.
So at this moment, she still pretended to be anxious: "Your Majesty, the young lady has not had her period this month, and she is also worried that if she is pregnant, Concubine Kang will continue to deduct her expenses, which will affect the heir in her belly. This is why she had no choice but to fight back against Concubine Kang..."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me this time for my misfortune. I beg you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked. Everyone's eyes on Liu Ruyan changed, and their gazes uncontrollably fell on her abdomen!
Concubine Kang shook her body violently, her eyes filled with disbelief: "What nonsense! I really want to teach Concubine Liu a lesson, but if she is really pregnant, as long as she tells the truth, who in the palace would dare to let her suffer? Why did she go to so much trouble to endanger my life? This is clearly your excuse!"
Xun You knelt beside Liu Ruyan and shook her head, saying, "It is true that the young lady has not had her period, but whether she is pregnant or not is just a guess between you and me. It involves the heir to the throne, and it is a serious matter. How dare you speak nonsense? If it is a misunderstanding, wouldn't it be an unforgivable crime..."
The emperor raised his hand to stop their argument. Looking at the fainted Liu Ruyan, a complex expression flashed in his eyes: "Call the imperial physician."
"Yes!"
The current development of the situation was beyond Shen Zhinian's expectations.
However, just when Liu Ruyan was about to finish, Xunyou said that she might be pregnant. This was too much of a coincidence.
Concubine Liu sat in the chair in a daze. After the jealousy, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.
Obviously, she is the woman who loves His Majesty the most in the entire harem. Why can everyone else get pregnant with His Majesty's child, but she can no longer do so after giving birth to the eldest princess?
No! This is just Xunyou's one-sided story. Maybe this slave girl deliberately came up with this excuse to exonerate Liu Ruyan!
Many of the concubines present had the same idea. After all, having an heir to the throne was like having a golden ticket to immunity from death.
They have never been pregnant, why is Lady Liu so blessed? !
Especially Concubine Kang, who bit her lips so hard that she even tasted blood.
This must not be true!
The eunuch who ran errands was in the emperor's presence. He was very clever. In order to ensure that the result was correct, he invited three imperial doctors to come over at the same time: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! I pay my respects to all the ladies and young ladies!"
Nangong Xuanyu waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, go check Concubine Liu's pulse to see if she is pregnant."
"Wei Chen obeys!"
If she was pregnant with the heir to the throne, her body would be extremely precious. Although it was only a suspicion now, Liu Ruyan couldn't really be left lying on the ground, lest anything happen to the heir to the throne.
Before the imperial physician arrived, she had already been carried to the couch by the palace servants.
