Chapter 144: Disaster in Jingyang Palace
Li Zhaoyi's good mood cooled down because of Ye Yunfang's last words. She had exactly the same symptoms as her? So, what Xiao Qiao said was true, and aromatherapy oil was the culprit?
Empress Zhaoyi's heart began to sting. She slowly turned her back, pressed her hands on the table, and held back her sobs.
"Aromatherapy, it's aromatherapy..."
A clear tear flowed down Li Zhaoyi's face. She didn't want others to see her fragility. Her face was as white as paper.
"Mother, although this is a bit hard to accept, what Xiao Qiao said is correct."
As Ye Yunfang spoke, she looked at Empress Zhaoyi's back. She knew that Li Zhaoyi's heart was in pain, but no matter how painful it was, it could not change the fact that she was exhausted physically and mentally from struggling.
"Concubine Jin Hui..." A cry of hatred made Li Zhaoyi's teeth break.
"Actually... even if Concubine Li's child is gone and her life is lost, there is only one unlucky woman missing from the harem, but it will be of no benefit to the empress." Ye Yunfang's voice sounded again behind Li Zhaoyi.
"What do you want to say?" Empress Zhaoyi suddenly turned around, feeling that there seemed to be something in Ye Yunfang's words.
"Although the empress asked Yunfang to go out to find some kind of love charm among the people more than two months ago, she didn't have much chance to use it. I heard that the emperor has recently seen some woman again, and he has no interest in other concubines at all.
How can I think of you, an empress who is weak after a miscarriage? It’s already good for empress to maintain her current position as Zhaoyi..."
"Bastard! You are brave!"
Li Zhaoyi didn't expect Ye Yunfang to be so bold. These words were simply a taunt. She took back her hand and slapped Ye Yunfang.
Ye Yunfang was not surprised by the slap. She didn't even cover her face and beg for mercy, and then spoke again.
"Yunfang has been with you for so many years just to repay your kindness. She will not just say good things that she likes to hear. Think about it carefully, besides Yunfang, is there anyone else who can help you now?"
After these words, there was another "pop" sound, and Li Zhaoyi's hand was so painful.
Ye Yunfang stood there, deep red fingerprints suddenly appeared on her face. She lowered her eyes, still expressionless.
Li Zhaoyi's whole body was trembling. She turned around and walked a few steps. She was panicked at first. Knowing what Ye Yunfang said, now even the little eunuch next to the emperor was unwilling to step into the threshold of Jinlanyuan. She and the girl were
What is the difference between concubines who have been relegated to the cold palace?
The air was extremely stuffy and there was silence for a long time.
"What do you think I should do?"
"The empress has already won back the emperor's heart. After everything she has done in the past, the other empresses should have resentments and revenge. Even if Yun Fang, a slave, went out, she would roll her eyes and curse. So what the empress has to do now is not in vain.
Instead of extravagantly hoping that the emperor will turn around, he will win over some people who will become his own. At least in the future, he will not end up in a position that cannot be guaranteed."
This time Li Zhaoyi did not slap Ye Yunfang, but the words he said seemed to give Li Zhaoyi a slap in the face.
"Keep talking!" she said angrily.
"Li Chunxiang..." Ye Yunfang said boldly, this was a bet for Xiao Qiao and also for herself.
"After all you say, you still don't want me to let her go!" Li Zhaoyi was a little angry.
"The empress is emotionally unstable now and needs to be alone and think about it carefully. If she wants to kill her in the future, Yunfang will no longer stop her. After all, when Yunfang reaches the age, she can apply to leave the palace to get married."
After Ye Yunfang finished speaking, she slowly stepped back and raised her hand to lift up the bead curtain. After a clattering sound, the curtain fell down.
In the room, Li Zhaoyi sat down feebly, looking ahead with dull eyes. She was reflecting, is she really as miserable as Ye Yunfang said? This is undoubtedly true. No matter who dies or is unlucky in the palace now, they are all the same.
It doesn't matter that she is such a neglected woman.
"Come here..." She shouted weakly.
The bead curtain was lifted, and a little palace maid came in. Hou was there.
"Empress."
"Where does the emperor often go recently?" she asked.
"Concubine Hui is in ill health. Your Majesty has been visiting Concubine Hui during his free time these days. The rest of the time, he spends his time in the Nourishing Heart Hall."
"Have you found the maid the emperor wanted?" she asked again.
"I looked for some but they were not real. Some of them tried to impersonate, but when they were discovered, they were dragged out and beaten to death with sticks." Gong's daughter answered.
"I understand, let's get out."
Li Zhaoyi waved her hand, and the palace maid lowered her eyes and went out.
The room became quiet again. Li Zhaoyi suddenly felt itchy and painful on her cheek. She got up and walked to the bronze mirror. She found a pimple on her right cheek. She stretched out her hand to pop the pimple, but she stopped after thinking about it.
Come down.
"When an acne occurs, if you squeeze it out, it will leave a scar. If you just let it sit here, it will be fine."
Li Zhaoyi's eyes narrowed. Ye Yunfang was right. Even if the emperor appeared in front of her, his heart was no longer with her. The power she needed now was the power to stand firm in the palace.
Why would she want to kill a woman who could recognize the toxicity of aromatherapy oil and could rise higher in the imperial kitchen? Killing Xiao Qiao only made her feel happy, but it could not change the outcome.
But in Li Zhaoyi's heart, Li Chunxiang is just a damned maid!
She couldn't contain her hatred and had to close her eyes and think carefully. If she made another wrong step, she would really lose her status as Empress Zhaoyi.
In Cuiwei Pavilion of Jingyang Palace, Imperial Physician Leng and other imperial doctors and female medical officers went in and out of Cuiwei Pavilion countless times, but still could not save Libi's child. After the bleeding condition lasted for more than two days, various measures were taken to save the child.
After taking all the medicine for the fetus, a piece of flesh and blood finally fell off, and Libin’s child was gone.
In Cuiwei Pavilion, Concubine Li's sad cries were heard. The imperial doctors all stood in Cuiwei Pavilion in cold sweats. The emperor threw a pack of herbs that had not had time to boil at the feet of imperial doctor Leng.
"What did you promise me? Why is the child gone?" Junyin's face was ashen. In just a few months, two concubines in the harem had miscarriages. It seemed that the miscarriage medicine had no effect at all.
"emperor……"
Dr. Leng wiped away his sweat, knelt on the ground, stared at the packet of medicine, and hesitated for a long time before speaking in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, I thought about it all night yesterday. Logically speaking, this medicine to protect the fetus should work. But Concubine Li took it, but it had no effect. But I dare not say anything unreasonable..."
"Do you suspect that someone dares to harm my flesh and blood?" Junyin's face changed.
