In the side study of the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Qingde, who had just returned from the court, didn't even have time to change his dragon robe urgently, so he read the confession sent by Yu Wenyan to the palace word by word.

The testimony of the imperial physician Wang pointed to Mrs. Wang Shizi in the Three Princes' Mansion, and he even handed over a small account book, which recorded the silver that Mrs. Wang Shizi had given him in the past three months.

Emperor Qingde's face sank, and he said to Cao Gong beside him: "Go and invite the imperial concubine to come over." ”

Gonggong Cao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered someone to pass the word.

However, after a cup of tea, the imperial concubine hurried over.

"What do you think about this?" Emperor Qingde did not say anything superfluous, but directly handed over the testimony of the imperial physician to the imperial concubine.

This imperial concubine is Cai Xiang'er's aunt, she has been with Emperor Qingde, who was only a prince at the time, since she was a cardamom, because she has never given birth to a child, although she has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, her body is still as graceful as a girl.

After reading the testimony, the imperial concubine didn't say a word, and knelt down in front of Emperor Qingde: "I beg the emperor to punish him severely!" ”

"Oh?" Emperor Qingde half-narrowed.

"Whatever the reason, it is unforgivable to deliberately mutilate a child who has not yet been born and hurt the pregnant mother in this way!" The imperial concubine knelt straight and straight, and gradually cried, "Back then...... Isn't that what my child is gone......

Hearing what the imperial concubine said, Emperor Qingde moved, remembering the formed male fetus that the imperial concubine had fallen when she was six months pregnant.

It was that miscarriage that caused the imperial concubine to hurt her body, and she never conceived a child again, which became a big regret for the two over the years.

"Go, call me all the family of the third child!" After a moment of silence, Emperor Qingde finally spoke.

Ever since the imperial physician was taken away from the palace, the wife of the prince of the Three Princes' Mansion has been worrying.

Now that someone from the palace has called, she is relieved, knowing that what should come is still coming.

After two days and two nights, she figured out some things.

Who said that calling the imperial physician over to ask a few words must be unfavorable to the third princess? Couldn't it be that she, as a daughter-in-law, cares about her "mother-in-law" out of kindness?

Therefore, when it came to Emperor Qingde, the prince and lady denied it.

"Wronged! The daughter-in-law did not find someone to harm the third princess! It has nothing to do with the royal physician. She knelt down in front of Emperor Qingde and cried.

The deceased Concubine Gu is the daughter of Gu Heng, the general who protects the country, and Xiao Gu, the wife of the Three Princes' Mansion, is the niece of Gu.

Because of the relationship between these two people, Gu Heng, the general who protects the country, is tightly tied to the Three Princes' Mansion.

It is with the Gu family that she is an in-law, and the biological mother of the third prince, Concubine Chun, is getting straighter and straighter in the harem, and she is less and less concerned with Cai's childless imperial concubine.

As the imperial concubine, the Cai family naturally couldn't ignore it.

Therefore, she deliberately married the girl of the Hou Ning family in Zhenhai to the third prince as a step-concubine, in order to break the entanglement of interests between the third prince and the general Gu Heng.

"Since it has nothing to do with it, why does the prince want to bite you?" The imperial concubine on the side looked at Xiao Gu coldly, "Since it has nothing to do with it, why do you want to give money to that imperial doctor for no reason?" If you have nothing to do with it, why did you send someone to assassinate him? ”

As she spoke, the imperial concubine threw out the account books kept by the imperial physician and the testimony of the dead man.

Looking at the evidence in this place, Xiao Gu suddenly panicked.

"I didn't...... I don't know ......" she shook her head frequently, but she could no longer utter a complete sentence.

"Oh, you don't know!" How could the imperial concubine who grabbed the other party's sore foot stop there, she pointed to the third princess sitting on the side and said, "Her is the royal bloodline, how can you people be allowed to act recklessly!" ”

Emperor Qingde, who heard this, had already changed his face, and his expression when he looked at the three princes became unkind.

The third prince, who didn't know what was going on, sat there loyally and didn't say anything.

"No, I didn't!" Xiao Gu denied it in fear, she knew that if she responded in this case, even if she didn't die, she would have to peel off her skin.

"Then you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!" The imperial concubine chuckled, "Do you have to confront that imperial doctor face to face before you are willing to tell the truth?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Gu trembled.

Seeing the third princess sitting there stroking her stomach with a delicate face, her heart was full of regret.

No wonder her mother warned her from a young age that she should never hesitate to do things.

Since she wanted to get rid of the child in her belly, she should have been more decisive, why did she encounter the current dilemma?

Xiao Gu was so hateful that he dug his nails into the flesh.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Chun Niangniang is asking to see you outside!" The little chamberlain who was on duty outside the study on the side of the Jinluan Hall suddenly came to report.

Before Emperor Qingde could speak, he saw the biological mother of the third prince, Concubine Chun, kneeling outside in plain makeup.

"What is this doing?" Emperor Qingde squinted.

"Today's events, don't blame them, it's all my idea, I can't tolerate that child!" The pure concubine, who did not wear any jewelry on her body, leaned on the ground and said respectfully.

"You?" Emperor Qingde became puzzled.

He pointed to the third princess and said, "The child in her belly is the blood of the third child!" ”

"But I don't like her!" Concubine Chun raised her head and said, "Actually, the granddaughter of the elder Yan Ge who I liked, I didn't expect the imperial concubine to stuff her sister-in-law's niece in. ”

"The concubine was humble, and she didn't dare to say no, so she had to suffer silently." Concubine Chun said lightly, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"So the sachet that the mother gave me before......" The third princess suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen.

"That's right, that's the Shunzi incense pill that I specially asked someone to concoct for you," Concubine Chun suddenly said fiercely, "Who knows, you are still pregnant with a child!" ”

The third princess shook her head in disbelief.

Although she had long known that it was Concubine Chun who gave her a child-avoiding medicine, her heart had always been unwilling to accept this fact.

Now that she heard this with her own ears, she only felt dizzy, and her stomach hurt more and more.

Yu Wenyan on the side was the first to notice her strangeness.

"I'm afraid the third princess is going to give birth!" And he reminded the crowd.

"Quickly pass on the stable woman and the imperial doctor!" The imperial concubine didn't care about arguing with the pure concubine anymore, and she must not let the third princess give birth to the child in Emperor Qingde's side study!

"Come on, send the third princess to my bedroom!" The imperial concubine mobilized the people in the side study.

Looking at all this that suddenly fell into chaos, Emperor Qingde said angrily: "Take care of Concubine Chun first!" After the third princess gives birth to a child, she will settle accounts with her! ”
