In the room, the doctor had already started administering acupuncture, preparing to remove the dead fetus from Qin Fang's belly.
Fortunately, there are two pregnant women in the house now, and Qin Rushuang is about to give birth. The house has already prepared Wen Po, who can help deliver the baby at any time when Qin Rushuang is activated. But I didn't expect Wen Po to be used in such a place now.
Qin Fanghao and Xie Xun were both invited outside the house.
The room was ready to start acupuncture. At this moment, the imperial doctor Xie Xun ordered to go to the palace also arrived belatedly.
The doctor in the room came out with an embarrassed look on his face and said to Xie Xun: "The concubine said that these stable women are prepared for the princess, she...she can't believe it."
It happened that the imperial doctor was accompanied by a nun from the palace who was also a midwife, so under Xie Xun's instructions, the two of them only hurriedly bowed to Xie Xun and rushed to the room.
After a while, Qin Fang's screams of pain were heard in the room. Xie Xun's fists were clenched and his brows were furrowed tightly without relaxing.
At this stall, Xie Xun was obviously more concerned about Qin Fanghao's safety in the room, so he did not go to Qin Rushuang's place to question him.
However, Qin Rushuang did not feel lucky.
She knew that once Qin Fang escaped from danger in the room, she would have to face Xie Xun's questioning next.
After all, it was the month of giving birth yet, and within half an hour, there was no movement in the room.
The imperial doctor and the original doctor came out wiping the sweat from their foreheads, and the imperial doctor's diagnosis was exactly the same as that of the previous doctor.
It is said that Qin Fanghao used a powerful abortion pill, which caused the fetus to miscarry and stillborn. Coupled with the strong effect of the drug, Qin Fanghao may not be able to have children in the future.
They, who are doctors in wealthy families, all have a clear mind. Now that they have contributed to this matter, the next step is the prince's family affairs.
Both of them were afraid of being implicated, so they left in a hurry without even having time to collect the money for the medicine.
After the two doctors left, the little maid next to Qin Fanghao walked out with red eyes.
"Your Majesty, Princess, and Concubine, please come in."
Qin Rushuang knew that running away could not solve the problem.
While she was waiting for Qin Fang to give birth, she had a lot of thoughts in her mind.
I was probably mentally prepared for various situations that were about to happen, so I took a deep breath and said to Xie Xun: "Your Majesty, go in."
Xie Xun didn't even look at her and entered the house first.
Qin Rushuang also followed and walked in.
The smell of blood in the room was even stronger than before, and Qin Fanghao's face on the bed looked not much better than that of a dead person, and his whole person exuded a gray and lifeless aura.
"My lord, do you know? The imperial doctor just told me that when the baby was taken out, it was already fully formed."
Her eyes were empty and her lips trembled slightly, as if she were looking at Xie Xun, and as if looking through Xie Xun at the boundless nothingness.
Tears flowed down the corners of her eyes and disappeared on the edge of her pale cheeks.
She slowly turned her head, not looking at Qin Rushuang, but looking straight at Xie Xun.
"Your Majesty, I want an explanation."
Next, Qin Fanghao kept silent.
She was waiting for Xie Xun to give her an explanation.
Xie Xun was silent for a long time.
Especially when he heard Qin Fanghao say that the child had taken shape, the pain in his eyes was no less than that of Qin Fanghao.
Qin Rushuang watched quietly.
They were like a loving couple who lost their beloved son, while she was like an out-of-place outsider.
Finally, Xie Xun turned his attention to Qin Rushuang. When he spoke, his voice was hoarse as if grains of sand had been rubbed against it.
"Fang Hao said, you harmed her child."
"I don't."
Qin Rushuang immediately denied it: "If the concubine thinks that I harmed her child, please provide evidence."
Qin Fanghao looked at Qin Rushuang, the look of sadness in his eyes became even stronger.
"My sister has already got her wish, and she has the support of the general's palace. Now she has the favor of the prince. Isn't she willing to admit this little sin?"
Qin Rushuang just wanted to sneer, small crime? Is it also called a small crime to blame the murder of the emperor's heir on her?
However, before Qin Rushuang could open her mouth to argue, the little girl kneeling beside her suddenly loudly accused her.
"What evidence does the princess want our concubine to produce? Isn't the evidence obvious? This afternoon, the concubine went to the princess's yard to eat a piece of walnut cake. After she came back, she felt tired and didn't want to eat anything. She ate the whole yard.
Everyone can testify! The concubine hasn’t eaten anything since she came back from the main courtyard. If the prince doesn’t believe it, you can ask the kitchen or interrogate other servants!”
Qin Rushuang closed her eyes, and sure enough.
Qin Fanghao came to her courtyard this afternoon.
Faced with the sudden visit, Qin Rushuang had long sensed that something was wrong, but she never expected that Qin Fanghao would use the child in her belly to frame her.
"Did you really let her eat the walnut cakes in your yard?" Xie Xun's voice was dry.
Qin Rushuang asked, "Your Majesty, don't you believe me? That walnut cake was made by the Sumei people. There were two plates in total. The Sumei people and I both ate it. The remaining plate of Qin Fang was delicious. The rest are in our hospital."
There, the prince can ask someone to check. Is there anything unclean in the walnut cake?"
Hearing this, Qingzhi gently pulled Qin Rushuang's sleeve and said worriedly, "Princess, that walnut cake was not made by the slaves, but by the Sumei people... We haven't tasted the rest of the dish either.
If Su Mei and Qin Fanghao were a team and drugged the walnut cake, is there really something wrong with the walnut cake?
It's not that Qin Rushuang has never thought about this possibility, but...
She shook her head gently towards Qingzhi and said to Xie Xun: "I act aboveboard. If I really want to touch the child in her belly, I should just take a bowl of abortion pills like last time! There is no need to bend.
It’s so round and round, if the prince doesn’t believe it, just ask someone to get the walnut cakes now to verify it.”
Xie Xun nodded in agreement.
Admittedly, he didn't want to believe that Qin Rushuang would do such a thing, but the fact was before his eyes that Qin Fang's good child was indeed gone.
Yu Gong, as the master of Prince Huai's Mansion, he must investigate strictly and restore peace to the back house;
In private, as the father of the dead fetus, he must also investigate and give justice to the dead child.
After a while, the servant came up with the plate of walnut cake.
The doctor who came to check the properties of the medicine was also a military doctor whom Xie Xun trusted.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the plate of walnut cake. Even Qin Rushuang herself secretly clenched her fists, and her nails under her sleeves almost dug into her flesh.
After a while, the military doctor shook his head and said to Xie Xun: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this walnut cake."
Qin Rushuang and Qingzhi both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Rushuang looked at Xie Xun, and there was no emotion or anger in his eyes.
But only Xie Xun knew it. When he heard the result, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He still didn't want to believe that Qin Rushuang would do such a thing.
Xie Xun immediately waved his hand, "Check! Let me investigate other people in the palace strictly! The matter of the poisoning of the concubine must be investigated!"
Xie Xun's voice was not loud, but there was a hint of anger hidden in it.
However, suddenly another voice drowned out his voice.
"Don't you know that in this back house, there is more than just poisoning to harm people!?"
Qin Rushuang slowly turned her head and saw Aunt Liu standing at the door at some point.
