Chapter 84

The Queen Mother couldn't wait to know how Concubine Xia's pregnancy was going. Although she asked the imperial doctor every day, and the imperial doctor said everything was fine, for some reason, there was always a stone hanging in her heart that she couldn't let go of.

"Ning'er, I don't believe what others say about the Ai family. I only believe what you say."

Under the expectant eyes of the Queen Mother, Chu Yunning told the cruel truth: "Concubine Xia's child cannot be saved."

"What?" The Queen Mother looked shocked and murmured in disbelief: "How could this happen? Isn't Concubine Xia still fine? Why can't this child be saved?"

Chu Yunning held the Queen Mother's hand and kept comforting: "Queen Mother, please don't worry. Concubine Xia's pregnancy is very similar to that of Li Guiren. She took the wrong medicine, which caused the uterus to be unable to withstand the growth of the child. It grew to seven

Yue, you can only choose one of the two."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her lips trembled and she trembled. She didn't know whether she was angry or afraid. She sighed for a long time: "What a sin. Is the emperor about to divorce his wife?"

For so many years, the Queen Mother prayed for blessings in the hope that Emperor Mingwen would have an heir. She finally had two, but miscarried one after another.

This is undoubtedly a deep blow to the Queen Mother!

"Ning'er, tell Ai Jia, is it the emperor..." Although the Queen Mother didn't want to admit it, she hesitated and asked, "Is there something wrong with the emperor's health?"

It has been rumored for many years that the emperor was suffering from health problems and could not give birth to children.

Chu Yunning shook her head firmly: "No, the emperor is in good health and there is no way he will not be able to give birth to a little prince."

It is impossible for her to admit this matter. Once it is leaked, at least her head will be lost, and at worst, the people will be unstable, the government will be in turmoil, and a war will be inevitable.

The Queen Mother looked at Chu Yunning with doubt.

"Queen Mother, when did Ning'er deceive you? Maybe the Emperor has other plans." Chu Yunning led the Queen Mother's thoughts elsewhere: "The former dynasty and the harem are closely connected. In order to prevent relatives from taking power, some concubines cannot be pregnant.

The descendant."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a pity. The Ai family thought they could have a grandson this year."

After looking forward to it for many years, this time is the most disappointing.

Chu Yunning couldn't say much, so he could only comfort the Queen Mother and asked Beibei to accompany the Queen Mother from time to time.

Soon it was time to enjoy the flower viewing party.

There are hundreds of kinds of flowers in the royal garden of the palace, all blooming and vying for beauty. After being carefully raised by the gardeners, the flowers bloom particularly beautifully.

The invitations written by Chu Yunning himself were sent out of the palace one by one, and the family members of the dignitaries were entertained, including all the concubines in the harem.

Almost everyone who had received the invitation came, and the palace immediately became lively. Chu Yunning had already announced that this was not only a flower viewing banquet, but also a concubine selection banquet.

Emperor Mingwen has not had a talent show for several years, and he is taking advantage of this flower viewing feast to select a few girls to fill his harem.

No one in the former harem refuted Chu Yunning's appearance, especially the concubines, who dressed up in all their splendor and tried to attract Emperor Mingwen's attention at the banquet.

"Chu Shang Palace, will the Emperor come to this flower viewing banquet?"

The new concubine Mei Fei smiled at Chu Yunning, with a very good attitude, and personally put a jade bracelet of excellent quality on Chu Yunning's wrist.

Chu Yunning cleared her throat: "Don't worry, Concubine Mei, you are the Emperor's favorite. No matter how many beautiful girls enter the palace, they will not share your favor."

As long as Concubine Mei is obedient enough, Chu Yunning doesn't mind helping her.

"So, the emperor is going to choose his concubine himself?" Concubine Mei was a little unsure. She had been in the palace for a few years and had finally gained great favor. She didn't want to be favored by the new beautiful girl who entered the palace. Concubine Mei touched her.

The golden hairpin on her temples was about to be pulled out, but Chu Yunning held her hand and said, "This Begonia gold hairpin is very suitable for the empress. As long as the empress does not touch the emperor's bottom line, I believe that the empress will not fall out of favor."

Concubine Mei was trembling and didn't know what to do. She obeyed Chu Yunning's words and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I listen to Chu Shanggong. If there is any news, please ask Chu Shanggong for help."

"Your Majesty, this is serious."

The flower-viewing banquet officially began. The banquet held by Chu Yunning was unique. Each palace maiden wore clothes of different colors and walked back and forth on the catwalk with flowers in their temples.

The gorgeous peonies are enchanting and dazzling, the beautiful lotus flowers are pink and fresh, the elegant orchids are refreshing...

"This banquet is quite interesting."

Emperor Mingwen, who was under the Jiuqu Corridor in the distance, saw this scene from a distance, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

Today's banquet is destined to be unusual.

He wanted to see what Chu Yunning could do.

During the banquet, Chu Yunning had people keep an eye on Jing Niang. Jing Niang asked to be admitted to the palace as a maid next to Lady Li. Today, Lady Li also came to the banquet. It seems that her mental state is much better than before.

"Chu Shang Palace!" Lady Li approached Chu Yunning and said mysteriously, "I know that Chu Shang Palace has a way to meet the emperor. Can you be accommodating?"

After Li Guiren married the little prince, her entire treatment took a turn for the worse. Her life was miserable, and she was often looked down upon.

She must restore her identity as soon as possible, otherwise she will be tortured to death one day.

Chu Yunning has no sympathy for Li Gui at all. She tried her best to persuade her several times but to no avail. Such a person is not worthy of being a mother at all.

But today she needed Lady Li's cooperation, so Chu Yunning smiled and agreed: "My Lady Li, actually the Emperor is also thinking about you very much, but he is still angry."

"Really?" Li Guiren was overjoyed.

"Li Gui!" Jing Niang grabbed Li Gui. She didn't believe Chu Yun Ning's words at all. If she was worried about her words, she would have come a long time ago. Why should she take away her identity? Jing Niang looked at Chu Yun Ning warily: "Li Gui Ren, because she lost her

My child is a little confused, don’t set a trap for Lady Li!"

When Jing Niang woke up this morning, her eyelids were twitching so much that she tried to persuade Li Guiren not to come to the banquet. Li Guiren seemed to be possessed by a demon and did not listen to her advice at all.

"That's all, I see that noble lady Li doesn't want the emperor's favor, so just pretend I didn't say anything." Chu Yunning raised her foot to leave, but noble lady Li hurriedly caught up behind her: "Don't leave, please help me from Chu Shang Palace."

, I will definitely repay you like a cow or a horse."

Li Guiren has tried countless methods, but has been unable to get closer to the emperor. Now she places all her hopes on Chu Yunning.

"Mr. Li." Chu Yunning lowered her voice and said a few words.

Jing Niang's eyelids twitched, her face looking alert.

"Really?" Li Guiren asked in surprise. Chu Yunning nodded and asked Bi Xiu: "Take Li Guiren to the political affairs hall."

"yes!"

But Jingniang grabbed Li Guiren's sleeve and said, "My lord, please don't go. Chu Shang Palace must be setting you up."

"Don't stop me!" Li Guiren slapped Jingniang without hesitation. Jingniang was so angry that she wanted to kill this idiot.

After watching a few people leave, Chu Yunning found Princess Changyang in the crowd. Princess Changyang watched the flower viewing show with great interest and couldn't help but praise: "Chu Shanggong is so thoughtful, I have never seen anything like this."

The flower viewing show is really unique.”

"Princess, thank you." Chu Yunning whispered in Princess Changyang's ear: "As long as the princess cooperates with me, the princess will definitely regain her position as the eldest princess today!"

Princess Changyang raised her eyes and looked at her blankly: "You didn't lie to me?"

"How dare you."

Chu Yunning handed Princess Changyang a small bottle of medicine. Princess Changyang didn't know what it was, but in order to restore her title, she gritted her teeth and accepted it, even if she didn't dare.

"Let me trust you for once!"

The main character of the script she planned was Concubine Xia. After waiting for a long time, Concubine Xia arrived belatedly. She was wearing a hibiscus-colored palace dress with a small phoenix crown on her head and hibiscus flowers on her temples, which made her look particularly charming.

"Greetings to the noble concubine." Everyone saluted.

Concubine Xia sat at the top of the table and raised her hand in the air: "There's no need to be polite, it's time to get on with it."

"Thank you, Concubine."

Finally, all the characters arrived. Chu Yunning secretly counted the time, and soon there was a scream from the backyard.

This scream means the show is about to begin.

"It's not good, it's not good, Lady Li has killed someone." Bixiu ran out covered in blood, and the faces of the ladies present changed slightly in shock.

Li Guiren rushed over with a long sword in his hand, his clothes were a little messy, he was cursing, and his eyes were red and it looked abnormal.

Chu Yunning shouted: "What on earth is going on?"

"Miss, I took Li Guiren to the corridor to rest. Unexpectedly, Li Guiren suddenly went crazy and couldn't stop it." Bixiu was frightened and cried.

The long sword in Li Guiren's hand was slashing wildly into the air. It looked very scary. The timid girl was already crying. Seeing Li Guiren running towards Concubine Xia, Concubine Xia was so frightened that Concubine Xia backed away: "What are you doing standing there in a daze?"

, hurry up and take down Li Guiren!"

The guards rushed over, but before they could get close to Concubine Li, Jing Niang's figure suddenly appeared in front of them, snatching the sword from Guiren Li's hand and flying towards Concubine Xia.

Seeing that the sword was about to hit Concubine Xia, Princess Changyang stepped in front of her without thinking, and the tip of the sword passed through Princess Changyang's shoulder.

"ah!"

Jing Niang missed the first time, and soon ran towards Concubine Xia for the second time. Concubine Xia was so frightened that her legs were weak. Fortunately, Concubine Xia had many guards guarding her, so Jing Niang didn't let her succeed.

"Come here, I've captured Jing Niang for you!"

Jingniang jumped up and ran away. Concubine Xia was furious: "I'm chasing you, don't let anyone run away."

At a banquet, a sudden change occurred. All the ladies and girls present looked nervous, fearing that they would be affected.

After a while, Jingniang was tied up by the guards. Concubine Xia was stimulated by her appearance. Her lower abdomen felt tight. She sat on a chair and allowed the imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse.

"The imperial concubine has disturbed the fetal vitality, which may be wrong," the imperial doctor said.

Concubine Xia's heart sank, and she said anxiously: "No matter what, I must keep my royal son."

The tied up Jing Niang still had a confused look on her face. She caught a glimpse of Li Guiren beside her, who had died under the sword. Her clothes were scattered and her hair was messy. From this look, it was not a serious situation. An hour ago, she was killed by Bi Xiu.

Directional belt to the Yizheng Hall.

On the way, she was hit hard on the back of the neck by Li Guiren without any precautions. Jing Niang fainted and when she woke up, her hands and feet were tied up.

"Tell me, why do you want to harm my child?" Concubine Xia clenched her fist tightly, with the intention of killing her.

Jing Niang didn't understand what was going on and looked at Chu Yunning with a half-smiling look, which was definitely not a good thing.

"Although the late Emperor took care of you, you have repeatedly provoked the majesty of the royal family. You deserve to die!" Concubine Xia immediately sent someone to invite Emperor Mingwen.

Jing Niang opened her mouth to speak, but found that she couldn't open her mouth, and she couldn't even make a sound. She glared at Chu Yunning angrily, she must be behind it.

"Hey, Princess, what's going on?"

A lady in the crowd noticed that Princess Changyang's face was green and black, and black pus and blood began to flow from the wound. It looked like she was poisoned.

Princess Changyang vomited blood violently, closed her eyes and fainted.

"Ah!" Concubine Xia's face suddenly changed slightly, and she tightly covered her lower abdomen with one hand, looking panicked: "Chu Shanggong, please help me take a look. Nothing will happen to the emperor."

Although Princess Changyang blocked the sword for Concubine Xia, the sword penetrated the princess's shoulder, thus injuring Concubine Xia a little, and the poison also entered Concubine Xia's skin.

"Blood, there is blood under the skirt of Concubine Xia." A lady exclaimed.

Everyone looked along and saw that Concubine Xia's hibiscus-colored dress was dyed bright red, and blood stains continued to spread.

Chu Yunning knelt on the ground to check Concubine Xia's pulse. After a moment, she looked helpless and said, "Concubine, the little prince is gone."

"What?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, making Concubine Xia stunned. She clutched Chu Yunning's arm tightly in disbelief: "You must be talking nonsense, the emperor just kicked me..."

Before Concubine Xia finished her words, she curled up her lower abdomen and howled in pain. Chu Yunning immediately asked the palace maid to carry her into the side room. Half an hour later, Concubine Xia gave birth to a fully formed male fetus.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Concubine Xia's painful cry, which was so miserable that even the people outside couldn't help but be moved when they heard it.

It's such a pity that the two young princes of the royal family were not saved.

Soon Emperor Mingwen came. He first went in to comfort Concubine Xia, and then walked out angrily. He stepped forward and kicked Jingniang. Jingniang couldn't defend herself and was kicked several meters away. She took a moment to recover before vomiting.

A lot of blood came out.

"Tell me, who sent you to assassinate my heir!" Emperor Mingwen looked furious.

When Chu Yunning saw this, he almost clapped his hands and applauded. He was going to be awarded an Oscar. His acting skills were definitely at the level of a movie actor.

Jingniang lay on the ground unable to say a word.

"Your Majesty, I suspect that Jingniang is a remnant of the previous dynasty, or a spy sent by another country." Chu Yunning came on stage unhurriedly, giving examples one by one of Jingniang's actions over the years: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and kind-hearted.

, I could not bear to take Jing Niang’s life in compliance with the late emperor’s decree, but Jing Niang repaid her with kindness and killed the little prince. I beg your Majesty to severely punish me.”

Jing Niang shook her head, but her body was tied tightly and she couldn't move at all. She could only stare at Chu Yunning, and then shook her head at Emperor Mingwen.

"Your Majesty, ever since Jing Niang came to the palace to see Mr. Li for the first time, Mr. Li's fetus had been abnormal. I managed to save Mr. Li's fetus, but because of Jing Niang, Mr. Li had a miscarriage. This time, Mr. Li had a miscarriage.

The madness may also be because of Jingniang."
