After giving birth to a deformed fetus, Zhen Ruxue fell into a coma, but fortunately, the imperial doctor was present and stopped the bleeding for her in time, so she didn't have to worry about her life for the time being. Then the imperial doctor came out and asked Dongling Guyun for instructions on how to deal with the deformed fetus.

According to custom, if a harem concubine gives birth to a deformed fetus, it will be regarded as ominous, which is a major crime, and the concubine will be sent to the cold palace or even secretly executed. As for the malformed fetus, they will be burned immediately, and they will never suffer from future problems. However, this matter is too strange after all, and now everyone can see that Zhen Ruxue was killed, and she herself is a victim, so naturally she will not fall to the point of being beaten into the cold palace.

Therefore, Dongling Guyun ordered someone to take good care of Zhen Ruxue, but let the imperial doctors secretly burn the deformed fetus, and then bury it deep underground. In addition, he also told everyone to keep their mouths shut and never allow the spread of this matter.

The imperial doctors nodded their heads in agreement and left with the deformed fetus. Seeing that Zhen Ruxue was still in a coma, Dongling Guyun asked her to stay here for a while to rest, and then return to her dormitory after she was better. At this point, Qiao Lianying naturally didn't worry about protending others, and stayed behind to take care of Zhen Ruxue herself.

Looking at her biological daughter's pale face, thinking of the terrifying fetus she had just given birth to, Qiao Lianying was angry, hateful and distressed, whimpering and crying, while constantly gritting her teeth, insisting that everything was the queen's conspiracy.

After getting the news, Zhen Qingyu had already rushed over, although there were no others around, and the palace maids were all sent out, he was still not at ease, and said in a low voice: "Don't say more about it first, it's not like the border pass here, you must be careful when you speak, if you are heard, it will be terrible." ”

"What's there to be afraid of?" Qiao Lianying snorted coldly, "At this point, what do you care about so much? Besides, am I wrong? Isn't all this the queen's masterpiece?"

Zhen Qingyu frowned: "How do I think this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface? The queen mother is extremely smart, how could she set up such a situation full of loopholes? Could there be another inside story?"

"You still speak for her?" Qiao Lianying glanced at him fiercely, and then raised her hand to point at Zhen Ruxue, who was silent, "Look at what she has done to our daughter, you still speak for her, you are really inexplicable!"

Zhen Ruxue was lying motionless on the bed, her eyes were closed, her face was pale, if it weren't for the fact that her chest was still rising and falling slightly, it really made people wonder if she was still alive. Seeing her like this, Zhen Qingyu was naturally very distressed, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "I'm not speaking for the queen mother, I just think this kind of thing must be cautious, do you think, since the queen mother has set up this kind of situation and wants to harm Ru Xue, then she will naturally hide that rag doll in a very secret place, how can it be so easy to be discovered? and was easily taken out by a cat? Don't you think it's strange?"

Qiao Lianying was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "What do you know? If you want that rag doll to work, it must be placed under Ru Xue's bed, and it won't work if it's far away." ”

"Really?" Zhen Qingyu frowned, pondered for a moment and continued, "Even if that's the case, why didn't that cat go elsewhere after running into Zhen Ruxue's dormitory, but take out the rag doll as soon as possible?"

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the Marquis of Anping, who has made great achievements, and his mind is faster than ordinary people. Qiao Lianying still scoffed at this: "What's so strange, that cat sees someone chasing behind it, of course it will run to a hidden place, for it, there is no safer than under the bed, so it got under the bed." Then he saw a rag doll, and maybe he thought it was a mouse, so he took it out. ”

Although this explanation is a bit far-fetched, it cannot be said that it is unreasonable, especially since the lower body of the rag doll is together, and it is not impossible to say that it will be mistaken for a mouse by a cat. Despite this, the more Zhen Qingyu thought about it, the more wrong it became, he shook his head and said: "Anyway, don't talk nonsense first, since the emperor already knows about this matter, he will definitely send someone to investigate, after all, the emperor also hates witchcraft, and he will definitely not turn a blind eye." ”

However, Qiao Lianying was still worried, raised her hand to wipe her tears, she cried and said: "I'm afraid that in the end, even if it is found out that it was the queen mother, the emperor will not do anything to her, maybe she will just find a substitute for the dead ghost to talk about the crime, and then our daughter's sins will be in vain." ”

Zhen Qingyu was silent and didn't say anything for a long time. If that's really the case, they are helpless, after all, Duanmu Youning has made a great contribution to the Yulin Country, not to mention that this matter seems to be difficult for the queen to escape suspicion on the surface, but after all, there is no conclusive evidence, I am afraid that the emperor will not easily touch her.

Zhen Ruxue has been unconscious, and although Qiao Lianying is tired, she doesn't dare to leave half a step, and has been waiting in front of the bed. As night fell, she lit the candle and looked at Zhen Ruxue's pale face, and there was another wave of grief. Although the palace maid brought the food, she couldn't eat a bite, and sat on the edge of the bed in misery.

As the night gradually deepened, Qiao Lianying finally couldn't support it anymore, and fell asleep in front of the bed in a daze. However, for fear that Zhen Ruxue would not know if she woke up, Qiao Lianying deliberately held her hand. Zhen Qingyu also sat at the table, lying on the table and napping.

I don't know how long it took, Qiao Lianying suddenly felt that her hand seemed to move a few times, and she couldn't help but wake up with a thrill. When she looked up, she found that Zhen Ruxue was slowly opening her eyes, and she couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, and immediately stood up and asked, "Ruxue, are you awake?"

This sound also alarmed Zhen Qingyu, and he immediately stood up and ran over: "Ru Xue, are you better?"

However, although Zhen Ruxue opened her eyes, there was no focus in her eyes, and she seemed to be a little unsure of where she was. Closing her eyes again, she shook her head slightly, frowned, and then slowly opened her eyes to look at the two of them, and called out with some confusion: "Mother?"

"Yes, it's me," Qiao Lianying nodded immediately, "Ru Xue, are you okay?

Zhen Ruxue's consciousness further returned, and her eyes slowly gained focus, but when she gradually recalled everything before, her face suddenly changed, and she didn't know where the strength came from, she actually turned over and sat up, lifted the quilt and looked down: "My child......!

At this, she suddenly paused, and her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what was in front of her. Her belly, which was already slightly bulging, had already been flattened, and the fool knew that the child was probably gone.

Qiao Lianying was naturally frightened when she saw this, for fear that she would do something stupid, so she immediately held her hand and comforted her softly: "Ru Xue, Ru Xue, don't be like this, it's okay, you are still young, when you take care of your body, you can give birth to as many princes and princesses as you want to give the emperor, you know?"

Zhen Ruxue raised her head and looked at her in a daze: "Mother, do you mean that my child is gone?"

Although she looked quite calm, Qiao Lianying didn't dare to take it lightly, and held her tighter and said carefully: "Yes, Ruxue, your child is gone, but don't worry, the imperial doctor said that as long as you take care of your body, the child will have another child in the future." ”

Zhen Ruxue stared at her and repeated in disbelief: "You mean my child is gone, is it really gone?"

Seeing her like this, Qiao Lianying was so frightened that she almost fainted, and comforted her repeatedly: "Ruxue, don't be like this, don't scare your mother! You're really fine, you can regenerate in the future, really." ”

Zhen Ruxue still didn't react, just stared at Qiao Lianying with her eyes, her lips kept trembling. A moment later, she suddenly opened her mouth and let out a terrible scream: "Ahhh

This scream simply had the effect of piercing the clouds and cracking the silk, and it shook the eardrums of the two of them. However, before Qiao Lianying could react, her screaming suddenly stopped, and the whole person had already fallen on the bed with a thud, facing the sky, and passed out again.

"Ru Xue! Ru Xue!" Qiao Lianying immediately lost her soul, and she couldn't wait to pass out with her! After screaming a few times, she reacted: "Hurry up! Call the Imperial Doctor!"

Zhen Qingyu immediately turned around and ran out, shouting loudly: "Doctor Tai, help!

This commotion, it was not only the imperial doctor who was alarmed, but also Dongling Guyun, who was not far away. Not long after, the imperial doctor arrived, and immediately stepped forward to do some examination and treatment for Zhen Ruxue, and then bowed down and said: "Please rest assured that the mother is fine, but she can't accept this fact for a while, so she is a little excited, and it will be fine to recuperate slowly." ”

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, Qiao Lianying had already shed tears, and sat on the edge of the bed and kept crying: "Ru Xue, you must not have anything to do, if you have a good one, what should my mother do?"

However, at this moment, the imperial doctor suddenly winked at Dongling Guyun, clearly having something to say. Dongling Guyun understood, and then said: "Please take good care of Ru Xue with your wife, and report anything to me at any time." ”

Saying that, he turned around to leave, but who knew that under the pain in his heart, Qiao Lianying suddenly stood up and ran over and knelt down with a thud: "Your Majesty!"

Dongling Guyun frowned slightly: "Madam, please get up quickly, if you have something to say, you don't need to make such a big gift." ”

"Please ask the emperor to severely punish the real culprit and seek justice for Ru Xue!" Qiao Lianying cried and kowtowed again and again, "Ru Xue is kind-hearted and has never had the heart to harm others, she should not fall into such a fate." ”

Dongling Guyun nodded: "Please rest assured Madame at this point, I will definitely find out the real culprit and punish him severely." ”

"Your Majesty, do you still need to check who the real murderer is?" Qiao Lianying knocked her head on the ground, "Everyone knows who did this, and I also ask the emperor to enforce the law impartially and not to protect the murderer." ”
