Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Loss of the Emperor's Grandson

"Rui'er, how are you, wake up." The man who had fallen into the water anxiously called out to the woman in red in his arms.

Jiang Wanrong looked at the two people sitting on the ground in a daze, her eyes empty and blank.

"What are you doing, go get some towels and clothes." He Xuan held Jiang Wanrong with one hand, calmly instructed the guards standing next to him who were looking at each other, and continued: "Also, hurry up and ask for a doctor." ”

When the guards heard the second princess's command, they relieved themselves and began to get busy nervously.

Zhao Rui'er was not very conscious because she had just taken a few mouthfuls of water, and her hands and feet were still fluttering in the air.

The prince looked at Zhao Ruier with very pity eyes, completely ignoring his soaked clothes, slumped on the cold stone slab, and held Zhao Ruier tightly in his arms.

He Xuan glanced at Jiang Wanrong's embarrassed expression beside him, and couldn't help but add a little strength to her hand, He Xuan was afraid that this thin woman would not be able to stand it today.

After about half a cup of tea, Imperial Physician Cheng hurried over and went straight to the man and woman who were sitting on the ground and hugging each other.

He was about to stretch out his hand to check the prince's pulse, but the prince said anxiously: "I'm fine, you can show Rui'er quickly, she is still pregnant, and she has been delirious since falling into the water." ”

Imperial Physician Cheng naturally didn't dare to disobey the prince's orders, and immediately stretched out his hand and put it on Zhao Rui'er's snow-white wrist. He frowned, his eyes looked at Zhao Rui'er's face from time to time, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, please forgive Weichen for saying bluntly, this child may not be able to be saved." However, fortunately, the fetus is not long in the mother's body, and the life of the side concubine should be worry-free. ”

The prince looked at Zhao Rui'er, who was unconscious in his arms, and said to Imperial Doctor Cheng: "As long as Rui'er has no worries, the child will have a chance to have another chance in the future." The prince's eyes only looked at the person in his arms with concern, and he didn't notice Imperial Doctor Cheng's expression of wanting to speak at all.

"Brother Prince, for the sake of today's plan, you need to send the concubine to a clean room immediately, so that Imperial Doctor Cheng can diagnose and prescribe medicine for the concubine." He Xuan's calm and steady voice woke the prince from a dream, and the latter immediately nodded.

So, there were guards to open the way, and the eunuchs and palace maids used all their strength to support the prince and Zhao Rui'er, and the group rushed to Qi Xiuyi's Huanyue Palace, which was closest to it.

He Xuan helped Jiang Wanrong to follow behind slowly, she was very unbearable to this woman, and asked, "Is the crown princess okay?" ”

Jiang Wanrong didn't know what she was thinking at the moment, her eyes were still empty, and she just nodded mechanically.

He Xuan understood that it was useless for her to say more, and Jiang Wanrong's thoughts might still be worried about the prince, and she didn't understand how unfavorable the situation was for her.

The crown prince and Zhao Rui'er had already been half-carried into a warm pavilion in the side hall of the Yueyue Palace, and Imperial Doctor Cheng was carefully checking the pulse at the moment, and instructed the palace people to change into clean clothes for the two.

He Xuan and Jiang Wanrong walked to the gate of the palace of the Moon Palace, Jiang Wanrong was just about to step into the door, only to see a few drops of blood on the ground, flowing intermittently from the palace gate to the warm pavilion. The crown prince's side concubine Zhao Ruier turned red.

He Xuan had long known that Zhao Rui'er's birth could not be saved, and she followed Jiang Wanrong's gaze to see the drop of blood on the ground, and she didn't feel strange. Instead, he held Jiang Wanrong's elbow tightly, signaling the latter to persevere.

The two walked into the warm pavilion, the prince and Zhao Rui'er had already changed into clean and comfortable clothes, and Imperial Doctor Cheng had just written the prescription for the two, and instructed the palace people to go to the Tai Hospital to grab the medicine immediately.

Zhao Rui'er is pregnant with the emperor's first grandson, and now she has a slippery tire, but it is a big deal. Qi Xiuyi stood aside with a worried expression, and she immediately ordered the palace people who followed her to immediately inform the emperor and Empress Zhao.

He Xuan's eyes met Qi Xiuyi's, and the two bowed their heads in friendship. He Xuan said to the palace man who was about to report the news: "Also, don't forget to inform the Empress Dowager Jiang." The palace people received the will in fear and rushed out.

Zhao Rui'er, who was lying on the bed and had just slipped a tire, was pale, and even her lips were bloodless, and Imperial Doctor Cheng and a few medical women who had just arrived were doing a sliding tire for Zhao Ruier. After grasping the medicine, there are also medical women who are staring at the boiling in the kitchen.

Due to the bleeding in Zhao Ruier's lower body, the doctors did not dare to be sloppy and dealt with the wound in an orderly manner. Even though the prince wanted to be with Zhao Rui'er in front of his bed, he had to wait in the hall inside and outside because of the etiquette.

Although Imperial Physician Cheng said that Zhao Rui'er was free of worries, the prince was still very worried in his heart, and kept walking around the hall. It happened for so long, and the crown prince never looked at the crown princess Jiang Wanrong, only when she was transparent, as invisible and untouchable as air.

In this hall, only He Xuan's face was as usual, and his mind was calm. Qi Xiuyi looked at He Xuan's calm expression, and her nervous and anxious heart also let go a lot.

"The emperor has arrived, and Empress Zhao has arrived." The voice of the report came into the warm pavilion, and then, it was the most noble emperor and Empress Zhao in the world who hurriedly walked in.

The emperor asked with a very worried face: "The widow heard that something happened to the crown prince's concubine, and the widow's grandson is not guaranteed?" Is this true? ”

The prince nodded distractedly, barely maintaining the prince's dignity, and said: "The son is guilty, he failed to protect Rui'er's child, and also caused his father to lose his grandson. Ask her father not to be angry, she is innocent. ”

As soon as the prince came up, he claimed guilty, and asked the emperor not to blame Zhao Rui'er, which made the emperor, who didn't know what had happened, even more confused.

"Rong'er, you make it clear, what happened? The side concubine is so dignified, how could she suddenly slip the tire? I heard that you guys were in trouble near Listening Heart Lake? The Emperor asked a few questions in a row, and then looked at the people in the warm pavilion.

The prince reacted for a while before he said slowly: "Today, Rui'er and the crown princess are listening to Xinhu chatting. Later, I don't know what happened, Rui'er fell into the water and fell into the listening heart lake. Erchen happened to pass by Tingxinhu and hurriedly rescued Rui'er. It's a pity that Rui'er fell into the water and was frightened again, and the little emperor and grandson were gone. ”

Empress Zhao's anxious expression immediately turned to a fierce gaze, staring straight at Jiang Wanrong, and said, "Crown Princess, what's going on?" Why did Rui'er fall into Tingxinhu after you and you chatted with Listening to the Heart Lake? ”

Jiang Wanrong has been immersed in the emotions of being snubbed and ignored by the prince, and has been silently jealous of the love between the prince and Zhao Rui'er.

But how did she answer Empress Zhao? Zhao Ruier was listening to what she said by the Heart Lake, and she categorically couldn't bring it to the table to tell everyone. For one, it looks like framing Zhao Rui'er, who is now the injured weaker party. Second, even if everyone believes it, these words also show that the crown princess and the side concubine have been grudges for a long time, so the side concubine's slippery tire is even more inseparable from her.

In such a situation, she was completely panicked, and she hesitated for a long time, her face turned red and said: "Concubine Fang asked me to listen to Xinhu today, but when I left, Concubine Fang's soles didn't know how to slip, so she fell." ”

"Really?" Empress Zhao stared at Jiang Wanrong with sharp eyes, as if she wanted to kill her with her eyes.

These distinguished people in the warm pavilion are anxiously waiting for Zhao Rui'er to wake up, as if only when she wakes up, the truth of the matter can be revealed.

"Empress Dowager Jiang has arrived!" With a shout, Empress Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and she glanced at Qi Xiuyi and Jiang Wanrong. In addition to the emperor, everyone in the warm pavilion got up and saluted.

Empress Dowager Jiang frowned, and with the support of several palace people, she walked in quickly. She glanced at everyone, and then said to the emperor: "The mourning family heard that the crown prince's side concubine fell into the water and slipped the tire?" ”

The emperor was also a little disappointed, and in the face of Empress Dowager Jiang's questioning, he had to nod with a very heartbroken look.

Empress Dowager Jiang naturally understood that this child was of great significance to the emperor. Before coming, the palace maid who reported had already told her about what happened today, although she didn't say it very clearly, but after all, Empress Dowager Jiang had lived most of her life in the harem, and she knew that this matter must not be so simple.

The relationship between Zhao Ruier and Jiang Wanrong has long been heard of by Empress Dowager Jiang. Although she also felt that Jiang Wanrong would not risk the world's disapproval, she was not sure if it would be Jiang Wanrong who was angry and pushed Zhao Rui'er by mistake. She secretly looked at Jiang Wanrong with her spare eyes, and the latter had an anxious look on her face, but she couldn't see why.

"Back to Your Majesty, the side concubine is awake!" Imperial Physician Cheng hurried out and reported to the emperor.

The crown prince was the first to react, and before he had time to say anything, he immediately rushed into the inner room.

"Let's go and see." The emperor spoke, and several masters standing in the warm pavilion followed the emperor and the queen mother into the inner room.

As soon as he entered the inner room, he heard Zhao Rui'er crying and saying to the prince: "Brother Rong, Rui'er's child is gone, is Rui'er's child really gone?" ”

"It's okay, we'll have it, kid." The prince's voice was also very sad, holding Zhao Rui'er's hand with both hands, trying to comfort the injured woman.

Zhao Rui'er's pale face was full of tears, one hand broke free of the prince, pointed at Jiang Wanrong, who had just walked into the inner room, and said, "Princess, why are you harming my child?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were shocked, and Jiang Wanrong stood in place, looking at Zhao Ruier in disbelief.

He Xuan glanced at Empress Zhao who was standing beside the emperor, the corners of Empress Zhao's mouth tilted slightly upward, and then changed to a face full of anger, and her eyes were close to the thin crown princess Jiang Wanrong.

Everyone in the room seemed to have a lot to say, but they only heard Empress Dowager Jiang angrily scolded: "Prince's side concubine, don't bite at will!" ”
