Chu Yunning looked around and sneered at the corner of her mouth: "Concubine Li Shu has finally gone from being a noble person to the position she is in today. Do you really want to take the risk of attacking me?"
Concubine Li Shu seemed to have had her thoughts read through, and her eyes were a little guilty.
"Concubine Li Shu, you are just a girl from a branch of the Yin family. If you come to me, it will be harmful rather than beneficial to you!"
Concubine Li Shu clutched her belly tightly: "You are threatening me. I am pregnant with the emperor's eldest son. You are angry with me. If anything happens to you, the emperor will never let you off lightly!"
I originally thought that Concubine Li Shu could survive among so many concubines in the harem and conceive a child, so she must be a capable person.
But now, Chu Yunning felt worried about Concubine Li Shu's IQ.
"Is it worth it for Concubine Li Shu to risk her child in order to punish me severely?"
Chu Yunning pointed to the lake not far away. The breeze blew by, causing the waves to ripple.
"Five years ago, Concubine Ye from Prince Xiao's Mansion fell into the cold river. Not only did she lose the child she had finally conceived, but she almost drowned. From then on, she took countless medicines and was unable to get pregnant again."
Every time Chu Yunning said a word, Concubine Li Shu's face turned an inch pale.
"Until now Concubine Ye is still asking for remedies. This heir is also very stingy. He chose you to be his mother, but if you don't cherish it, he won't come next time."
"Princess Xiao, stop pretending to be a ghost and scaring people here. Nothing will happen to the little prince I am pregnant with."
Concubine Li Shu glared at Chu Yunning angrily: "It's you, if the emperor knows that someone has cursed the little prince, you will definitely not be able to live with it!"
Looking at the proud look on Concubine Li Shu's face and her dress, a few gold crabapples on her temples swayed gently with her movements, pink pearl earrings donated by the emperor hung under her earlobes, and she was wearing a priceless Yansha skirt.
There are also large peonies embroidered on the skirt, which shine golden in the sun. If you look closely, they are actually embroidered with gold thread.
What a luxury!
Three words popped into Chu Yunning's mind: "Nouveau riche!"
At this moment, Concubine Li Shu had a typical face of the nouveau riche, a little transparent person who had never been favored, but she suddenly became the most popular one, and everyone in the palace gave in to her.
In just one month, she forgot all about herself and her vanity swelled.
If this continues, Concubine Li Shu's future will be worrying.
"Is there any witness?" Chu Yunning asked.
Concubine Li Shu sneered: "As long as I open your mouth, the emperor will definitely punish you severely, so I advise you to be smarter and stop going against Yihonglou. Just let it go as soon as you get along."
Chu Yunning stood up slowly, took a deep breath, and smiled at Concubine Li Shu with squinted eyes: "Concubine Li Shu said, I listen to you and will never go against Yihonglou again."
Concubine Li Shu thought her threat had worked, so she felt even more proud and said some more words.
Chu Yun would rather listen patiently.
"Concubine Li Shu, it's getting late, and it's getting cold when the wind blows. You'd better return to the palace as soon as possible. After all, this is the emperor's only eldest son, and he may be able to inherit the throne in the future. You must not make any mistakes."
Chu Yunning was too lazy to talk nonsense with Concubine Li Shu. She just wanted to send her back safely as soon as possible.
She will never meet Concubine Li Shu alone again in the future.
"Yes, you are right, I want to go back as soon as possible."
Concubine Li Shu carefully protected her belly, for fear of any accident.
Sometimes the more you are afraid of, the more likely it will come. As soon as Concubine Li Shu stood up, her expression changed.
When Chu Yunning saw this, he cursed loudly and said, "It's bad luck!"
"Someone is coming, someone is coming quickly!" Chu Yunning shouted at the top of his lungs.
There was still no one around.
"Ah! My stomach hurts so much!"
Concubine Li Shu was so frightened that her face turned pale and she screamed repeatedly.
Chu Yunning lowered her head and glanced at the blood stains spreading under Concubine Li Shu's skirt, her heart sank, and she quickly stepped forward to support Concubine Li Shu, placing her fingertips on her wrist.
Concubine Li Shu is indeed pregnant. She took the medicine by mistake an hour ago and now she is having a miscarriage.
If it is not stopped in time, the child will not be saved.
Chu Yunning really didn't want to pay attention to Concubine Li Shu, but if she couldn't save the pregnancy, she wouldn't be able to escape it even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
"Princess Xiao, save me!" Concubine Li Shu shouted. After a while, her face turned pale with pain, and beads of sweat rolled down her face. For a moment, her makeup was gone, and she was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before.
Chu Yunning calmed down and took out the silver needle to protect Concubine Li Shu's pregnancy.
"Princess Xiao, what are you doing? Do you dare to harm me? This is the only little prince in the emperor's palace!"
Concubine Li Shu watched Chu Yunning take out the silver needle and shouted in fright.
"Shut up!" Chu Yunning shouted angrily: "
If you want to keep your child, shut up!"
Being scolded suddenly, Concubine Li Shu was so frightened that she did not dare to speak.
After waiting for less than half an hour, Concubine Li Shu's fetus was finally saved. Chu Yunning was also exhausted and sweating profusely, and her clothes were soaked through.
"Empress!"
Only then did Concubine Li Shu's personal maid arrive.
After a while, several more eunuchs came and surrounded Concubine Li Shu.
"Quickly, please ask the imperial doctor for me and ask the emperor!" Concubine Li Shu shouted.
Half an hour later, all the harem masters arrived.
Looking at Wu Yangyang's people, Chu Yunning's eyelids twitched fiercely.
"Chu Yunning, you are so brave, you dare to assassinate the emperor's heir!" Empress Gong pointed at her, looking like she wanted to eat her alive.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li Shu's fetus has always been stable. Only after meeting Chu Yunning did something happen. She wanted to harm the emperor's heir, and the emperor will punish her severely."
Emperor Mingwen looked at Chu Yunning with a cold face and sharp eyes.
"Your Majesty is aware of everything. It is Concubine Li Shu who invites me to the palace today..."
"Your Majesty, I just heard that Chu Yunning opened a shop in the capital and was going against Yihonglou, so I wanted to be a peacemaker. Unexpectedly, Chu Yunning was not only ungrateful but also cursed the emperor, which caused my concubine to get pregnant.
, please ask the emperor to make the decision for me!"
Concubine Li Shu cried and knelt at the knees of Emperor Mingwen, looking weak and pitiful.
Chu Yunning frowned: "Concubine Li Shu, please don't slander me. Did I ever curse the emperor's heir?"
"You blame me for being pregnant with an heir, otherwise the emperor will have no children, and your son will inherit the entire kingdom in the future!"
Concubine Li Shu's words shocked everyone present.
"Chu Yunning, I didn't expect that you are still so evil. I really can't help you hide it for you."
The Empress of the Palace looked at Chu Yunning with a disappointed look, then turned to Emperor Mingwen and said: "Your Majesty, a month ago Princess Xiao found my concubine and asked her to adopt Beibei. She can be regarded as having a successor.
When she refused at first, Princess Xiao insulted me and blamed me for not giving birth to a prince for so many years. I feel ashamed."
Chu Yunning was shocked. Good guys, they worked together to set a trap for her.
"Your Majesty, I am so scared." Concubine Li Shu hid in Emperor Mingwen's arms, and Emperor Mingwen pulled her up: "The ground is cold, don't worry, concubine, I will definitely interrogate her thoroughly and give you an explanation!"
Emperor Mingwen asked Chu Yunning in a deep voice: "Princess Xiao, what can you explain?"
Chu Yunning's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and it was still unclear how many people were involved in making the trap.
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged."
"You mean that I am unjustly accusing you of making fun of the emperor's heir?" Concubine Li Shu snorted coldly.
Chu Yunning said: "Concubine Li Shu's fetus is not stable. It has only been an hour and a half since I entered the palace. Judging from Concubine Li Shu's pulse, she took medicine two and a half hours ago, which caused Concubine Li Shu to almost have a miscarriage.
You can let the imperial physician examine you."
At Emperor Mingwen's signal, two imperial doctors stepped forward to diagnose Concubine Li Shu's pulse.
The results will be available soon.
"Back to the Emperor, Concubine Lishu's pulse did not reveal any kind of medicine."
"I didn't find out either."
Chu Yunning sneered, this imperial doctor was also bribed.
"Chu Yunning, what else do you have to say?" The Queen Palace scolded angrily: "You don't even know medical skills, but you are pretending to be a ghost here, and now you dare to deceive the emperor, you deserve to die!"
"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me."
Concubine Li Shu reached for Emperor Mingwen's arm.
"Your Majesty, it is not easy to conceive an heir with Concubine Li Shu's body. These two imperial doctors should make a diagnosis. Otherwise, if the silver needle is pulled out, Concubine Li Shu's fetus will not be safe, and you two imperial doctors will bear the brunt of it!"
Chu Yunning pointed at the silver needle on Concubine Li Shu's abdomen.
Concubine Li Shu reached out to pull it out, but Chu Yunning suddenly yelled: "If you pull out this silver needle, the child will not be saved."
"You're scaring me!" Concubine Li Shu said, but she still put her hand down honestly.
"The two imperial doctors have seen it right. Concubine Li Shu is obviously having a miscarriage and has already seen redness. She is definitely not angry!" Chu Yunning said.
The two imperial doctors looked at each other, not knowing whether they should listen to this or not.
Chu Yunning looked at Emperor Mingwen again: "Your Majesty, I definitely did not frame Concubine Li Shu, and I dare not even think about it. As for why Concubine Li Shu wanted to slander me, I really don't know."
"With the queen and the certificate, how can I still slander you together with the queen?" Concubine Li Shu said angrily. The queen looked at Concubine Li Shu with a complicated expression and did not refute.
"As the head of the harem, the queen is already nervous because she has no children for so many years. A month ago, the queen mentioned that she wanted to bring Beibei into the palace, but I refused. Why did she mention adoption today? I really don't understand. After all, the emperor still has
You are so young, why worry about having no children in the future?"
Chu Yunning ignored the empress's expression of wanting to eat people: "At that time, I advised the empress to take precautions. Is it true that the emperor is in such a hurry to adopt the family to tell the world that the emperor has no heir?"
"Chu Yunning!" Empress Gong shouted loudly, scolding her for being presumptuous.
"The Emperor has more than one sibling, Prince Xiao. How can I have the confidence that the Emperor will definitely adopt Beibei? If I were the emperor, I would definitely adopt a newborn child. After all, Beibei is already so old and knows everything. How can I teach him?"
It’s too late.”
Since you want to talk openly, you might as well stop being scrupulous and say everything.
The atmosphere suddenly solidified, and no one dared to speak randomly. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Emperor Mingwen's reaction. After all, he was the one who had the power to kill.
Emperor Mingwen suddenly sneered: "Imperial Physician, how is Concubine Li Shu's child? Please give me another pulse diagnosis without making any mistakes!"
"yes!"
The two imperial doctors cautiously stepped forward to diagnose her pulse. Concubine Li Shu wanted to say something, but Emperor Mingwen's cold expression touched her, so she shrank back in fear and obediently stretched out her hand for the imperial doctor to diagnose.
After a while, the imperial doctor said: "Wei Chen did not find any medicine in Concubine Shu's pulse just now. Concubine Xiao must have guessed wrong."
The two of them were convinced that Chu Yun Ning did not know medical skills and refused to admit it until he died.
"I knew you were pretending to be a ghost and trying to scare people!" Concubine Li Shu stretched out her hand and pulled out the silver needle from her abdomen, threw it to the ground and returned it, not forgetting to crush her feet.
Seeing this, Chu Yunning couldn't help but gasped and shouted: "Quickly send someone to prepare mugwort and ginseng!"
"Your Majesty, she is talking nonsense again...ah!" Concubine Li Shu's face changed before she finished speaking. She clutched her stomach and cried out in pain, and a warm current surged out between her legs.
