The cold wind blew wantonly, the heavy clouds obscured the moonlight, and the inky night deepened.
The warmth in the Weiyang palace was warm, Su Dai fell asleep in Rong Bingye's arms, and he gently dropped a kiss on her closed eyes, and the corners of his lips were full of gentle smiles.
She sleeps very quietly, like a cat, and rarely makes sounds.
There seemed to be a commotion outside the hall, she opened her eyes in a daze, and whispered, "It's so noisy......"
"Sleep, I'll take care of it." He kissed her tenderly on the lips again.
The noise grew louder and louder, and there seemed to be a mixture of weeping and wailing.
He frowned, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, only to hear Huan Yu whisper outside: "Your Majesty, Concubine Sheng has had a miscarriage." ā
He sat up suddenly, and she opened her eyes, completely sleepy.
Su Dai served Rong Bingye and quickly dressed up, he strode out of the hall, Su Dai was also busy dressing up, and chased out with his big coat.
Outside the hall kneeling Sheng Han'an's personal palace maid Fang Fei, she was already crying breathlessly, and when she saw Rong Bingye coming out, she immediately threw herself at his feet and cried: "Your Majesty, please go and see the little master......
When he arrived at the Qingyi Pavilion, Concubine Xian had already arrived, and there were several imperial doctors around the house, and Rong Bingye was sitting on a chair in the main hall, with a dark look on his face.
The candle flame in the room swayed, no one opened the room, and the palace people who came and went carried the basin in and out, and the clear water when they came in was already a basin of bright red blood when they went out, and the crimson was shocking.
Su Dai couldn't help but feel a little nauseous, Saihan hurriedly supported her, she pinched Saihan's hand and forcibly suppressed the uncomfortable feeling.
Sheng Concubine's child was not saved after all.
When the imperial doctor came to report, Rong Bingye was so angry that he threw all the tea cups in his hand on the ground.
"What a good miscarriage!" His gloomy voice was not loud, but it sounded in the ears of all the kneeling people in the room, like ice in the thirty-nine days, the hearts of the cold people trembled, everyone's hearts were raised, the silence of the room was as dead as death, but a low whimper came from the corner.
"Who's crying!" A cold light shot from his eyes.
A trembling palace maid crawled out of the corner, only to see her keep kowtowing, and her voice was full of whimpering: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, and the slave and maid are out of honor before the saint." But the slave maid knew that the little master of the concubine was fine a few days ago, but after dinner, she began to have abdominal pain, and then ...... Later......"
Later, she had a miscarriage.
Rong Bingye's sharp eyes glanced around the room before he said coldly: "All the things that Concubine Sheng has come into contact with today have been carefully and thoroughly investigated by me!" ā
All the female officials on duty today, the Pharmacy Division and the Catering Division, were summoned, and they knelt in the courtyard.
Sun Sishan broke out in a cold sweat, but he still said calmly: "The meals of Sheng Concubine and Zhao Guiren have always been made separately from other mothers, and today's dinner, the slave maid sent to Zhao Guiren is the same as Sheng Concubine of Qingyi Pavilion, if it is said that there is a problem with the meal, but Zhao Guiren is fine." Ask Your Majesty to learn from it! ā
Rong Bingye squinted his eyes, but he didn't speak.
All the imperial doctors in the Qingyi Pavilion were busy, and when they tossed to the child, they found the residue of aconite in the leftover fetal medicine drunk by Sheng Concubine.
Aconite is poisonous and is taboo for pregnant women.
Fang Siyao's face turned red with anxiety, and he hurriedly kowtowed, and his voice trembled: "Your Majesty Mingjian!" Concubine Sheng's fetal medicine has always been tormented according to the prescription given by the hospital, but there is no aconite in the prescription, and the slave and maid don't dare to add it indiscriminately! ā
Rong Bingye didn't pay attention to her, but said to the virtuous concubine with a gloomy face: "Gather the palace concubines and go to your palace." ā
Sheng Han'an, who was lying on the bed in the inner room, looked haggard, her fingers trembled and stroked her lower abdomen, and suddenly burst into tears, crying heartbreaking, "Your Majesty, the concubine's child is gone......" Before she finished speaking, she was already crying, as if she wanted to vent this heart-wrenching sadness together.
The air was still filled with the smell of blood that could not be concealed, Rong Bingye tightly took her into his arms, his eyes were full of endless pity, and his big palm gently caressed her back, as if to soothe her grief.
Sheng Han'an's tears wet the clothes on his chest, and there was uncontrollable sobbing in his voice, "He is still so young, the concubine can feel that he is growing up little by little every day, but he ...... That's it...... gone."
His eyes were full of pain, "I'm here, don't be afraid. You're still young, kid, and there will be one later. ā
His words made her cry even more, "The concubine knows it's wrong!" Concubines shouldn't violate the palace rules, but concubines really know it's wrong! The child is still so young, he shouldn't suffer this......" She grabbed his sleeve violently, and there was some despair on her painful face, "The concubine is willing to die for him!" Your Majesty! ā
The gloom in Rong Bingye's eyes became more and more gloomy, he put her flat on the bed, tucked the quilt for her, and there was endless pity in his voice: "You have a good rest first and take care of your body." Don't worry, I will give you justice in this matter and don't let him die in vain. ā
He turned around and walked out of the inner room, only to hear Sheng Han'an's hoarse cry behind him, "Concubine Yi! It's Concubine Yi! ā
It was like a silver needle piercing his heart, the pain was unbearable, he frowned and reprimanded coldly: "Presumptuous! I have my own decision! ā
Su Dai, who had been waiting in the courtyard, saw him come out and hurriedly greeted him: "How is Concubine Sheng?" ā
His eyebrows were full of exhaustion, and he waved his hand and didn't answer her question, but slowly said, "Go to Guan Ju Palace." ā
When he was a child, it was supposed to be the moment when all living beings were to sleep, but because of the cold and miscarriage, the entire Ligong was not at peace.
The cold wind is cold, and there are hurried concubines outside the Guan Ju Palace from time to time, and the concubine's miscarriage is not a trivial matter, and after tonight, I am afraid that a few families will be happy and a few will be worried, but I don't know where this disaster will lead.
All the concubines were summoned to Guan Ju Palace, but after a while, Rong Bingye walked in from outside the palace, followed by Concubine Xian and Concubine Yi.
Jiang Mi had earlier received the news of Concubine Sheng's miscarriage, as soon as she saw Su Dai coming in, she looked at her with concern, after Su Dai sat down beside her, Jiang Mi lowered her voice and asked her: "What's the matter, why did you have a miscarriage?" ā
"Aconite poisoning."
Jiang Mi was shocked when he heard this: "Your Majesty suspects that someone is deliberately murdering?" ā
Su Dai raised his eyebrows and said: "There is no need to doubt it at all, the spearhead is directed at the Department of Medicine, the residue of the aconite was found in the leftover fetal medicine drunk by Concubine Sheng, and the prescription given by the Tai Hospital found no such thing, that is when the decoction was put in." ā
Jiang Mi couldn't help but sigh heavily, only to hear Su Dai ask softly again, "Do you know who the medicine division is?" "The virtuous concubine in the harem is the most powerful, followed by Concubine Ning, and the twenty-four divisions of the six palaces have stood in different teams, if you know who the medicine division is, you can know who the real culprit is behind the scenes.
"I don't know about this, but the pharmaceutical department may not be the real murderer, maybe he was framed, and I don't know." Jiang Mi frowned.
