Chapter 19: The Lost Child

Yuan Yi left everyone at the banquet site and quickly rushed to the Mingguang Hall alone. He left Mo Xiu behind and instructed him to "send" everyone in the harem back after about half an hour. When Yuan Yi said, he deliberately accentuated the word "send people", and Mo Xiu understood the special meaning between these two words: to clearly know everyone's movements and reactions during the time of the accident.

When he rushed through the Mingguang Temple, the imperial doctor had already prescribed a prescription for detoxification and sent someone to boil the medicine.

Although the time was very short, this sudden torture made Lu Melo almost wonder if she was going to die, at the beginning when she found herself a little uncomfortable, she just thought that she had been too anxious about the affairs of Yuan Ke and Lu Xi recently, and was ready to go back to the palace to rest. But halfway back to the palace, the pain intensified, and she felt something serious from a mother's sixth. Before she was unconscious, she arranged everything: Jingwen went to ask Imperial Doctor Xue, Leng Xi went to inform Yuan Yi, Qin Rou was by her side in case of accidents, and instructed Qin Rou not to allow Lu Xi to enter the Mingguang Palace until she ordered it. By the end of the arrangement, her throat was almost out of sound, and the burning sensation in her throat made her despair.

Such an arrangement was all she could think of in the state of pain, and all the rest of the belief was: her child, she wanted her child to be safe. This belief sustained her to return to her temple, but when she arrived in the temple, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and suddenly relaxed and fainted. When she woke up again, she saw Yuan Yi standing in front of his couch, it was a somewhat vague shadow, although it was not real, but that shadow looked so sad, not as tall and proud as before. When she tried to open her eyes, she saw an eye full of distress and self-reproach that looked at her, and she wanted to ask: What was wrong with her? Is her baby okay?

But the moment she opened her mouth, she saw the tears in Yuan Yi's eyes, she didn't say anything when she opened her mouth, in fact, she couldn't speak, even if she did, she understood everything. She turned her head inward, and tears flowed uncontrollably. She didn't cry, but the rapid breathing betrayed her, and Yuan Yi sat down beside her in one step, and then grabbed her hand and put it to his lips, grasping so hard. For a moment she felt a drop of moist water drip into her palm, cold and cold, like a biting ice pick in winter, piercing straight into her heart. Her heart was aching, the kind of pain that she couldn't breathe, and she wanted to throw this pain out fiercely, but she didn't have the strength.

Before Lu Meiluo woke up, Yuan Yi already knew the worst outcome of this matter, and when he went in, the imperial doctor was already waiting to reply to Yuan Yi, this Imperial Doctor Xue was specially sent into the palace by Yuan Yi's father back then, and the palace back then was too dangerous, only in this way could he prevent those open guns and hidden arrows when his father was forbidden to enter Beijing, but he didn't expect these things to happen now.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Niangniang has accidentally ingested the juice of evergreen, and this juice will burn the parts it touches, so Niangniang will have a hoarse voice, and because the venom is mixed into the food, there will be abdominal pain and vomiting, but it is not fatal, but the baby in the womb has no resistance to this kind of venom, so..."

Yuan Ke understood the meaning of Imperial Physician Xue's words: "Imperial Physician Xue, I understand, you should wait in Imperial Hospital!" If there is anything unusual about Concubine Shu, I will send someone to find you. The tone of his voice sank, and it was a deep remorse and guilt. He was also overjoyed, imagining that when he and Lu Meiluo's child came to this world, he would have another blood relative, but in the end, this world disappointed him again.

"Mo Xiu!" He shouted.

Mo Xiu, who was standing outside the door, immediately entered: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?" ”

"Go and check, where does the evergreen juice in the palace come from?"

"Your Majesty has found out that Wan Nianqing is in the palace of the lady concubine, and the branches and leaves have traces of being folded, and now they are checking the palace maids and servants in the palace, and the ministers will report to Your Majesty if there is news, please rest assured." Mo Xiu had already started to investigate immediately after the imperial doctor diagnosed the source of the poison, which was why Yuan Yi trusted him so much.

"Okay, by the way, remove all the people placed in the palaces, Junwu has also been in the capital recently, let him think about what is abnormal on the way from the clouds to the capital, this timing is too coincidental, too suspicious." Yuan Yi had already thought about all the possibilities on the way here, he thought about all the conspiracies and calculations, and made all the arrangements that could be made.

He thought that he had arranged all these things properly, and kept comforting himself in his heart: to give his child the truth, his pain of losing his son would not be so strong. But he stood beside Lu Meiluo's bed, looking at the pale face of the woman he wanted to care for all his life, and he couldn't help it all of a sudden. He didn't take good care of her, and even had problems with the child she liked very much. He still thought of those people in the harem as kind, he thought that no one could do anything under her nose under such an "iron wall" like him, but he miscalculated the vicious hearts of those people.

At this moment, he regretted a little, for the sake of the so-called balance of power, he did not completely remove many eyeliners in the palace, and now he wants to get rid of these hidden dangers, so that Lu Melo can live more at ease.

Mo Xiu's investigation went very smoothly, and in less than three days, the people who poisoned the palace had been found out, and a series of people were pulled out like beads. Zhang Junwu outside the palace was also very quick and found out the source of Wan Nianqing:

It was the woman who crashed into Yuan Ke's carriage on the way into the palace. Unfortunately, they found the woman's body. Even so, Mo Xiu used various methods to find the connection between this woman and someone in the palace, and found deeply hidden letters and money in the woman's dilapidated home.

When Yuan Yi heard the name of the person behind the curtain from Mo Xiu's mouth, he was stunned, how could he have such a deep plan and even did such a thing under his nose when he was so weak in the past few years, looking at a person who had no scheming, and even did such a thing under his nose, how could he do it without the power he had secretly accumulated?

He didn't believe that she alone would do it, there must be someone behind her who was secretly helping, would it be the person he was most taboo about? He decided to go and meet her.

Before meeting her, Yuan Yi talked to Lu Meiluo for a while, and he wanted to bring Lu Meiluo over as well, so that she could see the end of this matter with her own eyes, and make her feel better. In the past few days, she has been lying under the bed, and she doesn't even want to say much, even if Lu Xi came to cry and ask for guilt that day, she didn't say much, her heart knot needs to be opened in order to continue living in this palace, he wants to open this heart knot for her, even if it is with some special means.
