Chapter 179: Noble Lady E suffers a miscarriage; Hongli suppresses the matter
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I just vomited a lot."
"Oh, they say that giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. Seeing you vomiting so much now, it's really scary." Concubine Chang said.
Concubine Mei rolled her eyes at her and said, "Ask those of us who have given birth, who didn't go through this? Unless you don't want to be pregnant."
Concubine Chang lowered her head slightly and dared not speak.
Su Lian: "Lady Mei, you are really good at scaring people. Look how scared you made me."
"Hmph." Concubine Mei curled her lips and said, "It's easy for Concubine Qing to talk without any pain in her waist. You've never been pregnant or given birth, so how do you know I'm trying to scare her?"
Gao Xiyue giggled, not caring about Su Lian's face which was as black as charcoal.
Su Lian: "Lady Mei is being rude and disrespectful. Be careful that the Emperor may dislike you."
Noble Lady Mei: "Princess Qing, in front of the Imperial Noble Consort, we are all inferiors."
The palace maid came in to change the tea, and Su Lian gave Concubine E a look, indicating that she should start now.
Concubine E bit her lip, closed her eyes and tripped a palace maid with a determined heart. The teacup and tray in the maid's hands hit Concubine E's stomach.
Everything happened so fast that Su Lian cried out and rushed over: "Ah, Lady E!"
Concubine E's face was pale and she had fainted, and her dress was covered in blood.
Rong Pei looked at this scene and thought: Is there an opera being performed?
Ruyi glanced at Gao Xiyue, who nodded and exclaimed, "Royal Noble Consort! What's wrong with you? Quick, call the imperial physician."
Ruyi was already holding her stomach and pretending to faint.
When the emperor heard the news that Ruyi had fainted, he rushed over immediately.
He sat down beside the bed and held Ruyi's hand. "Where's Qi Ru? Where's Jiang Yubin?"
Rong Pei bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician has examined her and said she fainted from shock, but it's nothing serious."
Hongli nodded: "That's good, what's going on?"
Hai Lan: "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened today. This noble lady E actually deliberately bumped into my sister's maid."
"Concubine Yu, how can you confuse right and wrong? It was clearly that palace maid who bumped into Concubine E, causing her miscarriage." Concubine Yi said.
Hongli finally understood what they were arguing about.
"Okay, let Qi Ru come over and answer."
Qi Ru wiped the sweat off his face and knelt before him: "Your Majesty, Concubine E's child is gone."
Hongli nodded: "I understand. After she wakes up, we will move her back and take care of her."
Li Yu nodded: "I obey your command."
At this time, Ruyi opened her eyes and said weakly: "Your Majesty, you are here."
Hongli asked with concern: "How are you? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Ruyi shook her head: "I am fine. Where is Concubine E? How is she?"
Hongli: "You are already dizzy and you are still worrying about others. Her child is gone. Don't worry about it. Take care of yourself."
Ruyi sighed: "It is my fault for not noticing. If she feels unwell, I should have asked her to come and pay her respects."
"This is the rule. You are not wrong. Don't blame yourself. I will comfort her."
Yipin: "Your Majesty, we all saw it. It was that palace maid who was inappropriate. You..."
Hongli shouted sternly, "I have said that this matter ends here."
Concubine Yi lowered her head and dared not resist.
Su Lian had been hiding behind and watching everyone's reactions since the beginning.
She didn't understand. Noble Lady E's child was gone, and the emperor should have been held accountable, but he didn't allow anyone to mention it, and even the palace maid hadn't been punished.
