Chapter 377
Author: Qing Yunmo
Concubine Ping was silent, so the palace man could only take an earring from Concubine Ping's hand and walk in the direction where Wanmei was carried away.
Far away from the palace, she heard a very tragic scream.
She was so frightened that she sprained her legs. Aunt Feng walked over from the door and asked, "What's going on?"
The palace servant put the earring in his sleeve on the ground, picked it up, stood up and said with a smile, "Concubine Ping dropped her earring, so I sent a slave to look for it."
Aunt Feng glanced at her, but did not stop her. She just said, "Now that you have found the earring, let's go back and recover."
The palace man said yes and quickly turned back to the banquet.
After a while, Concubine Ping asked someone to pour wine. While she was bending down, she nervously asked, "What is going on? Do you know?"
"My slave was unable to enter. I only heard...heard..."
"What did you hear?" Concubine Ping was very anxious.
"I heard... screams coming from inside."
"Bata", Concubine Ping threw the wine cup in her hand onto the table.
The dancer just stopped at this moment, so the sound was particularly obvious.
Concubine Ping glanced at the palace servant next to her, who quickly knelt down and said, "My dear, this servant is clumsy."
Concubine Ping met everyone's gaze and smiled gently, "It's okay. It's not worth taking seriously. Just wipe it clean with a handkerchief."
Seeing that it was nothing serious, everyone's attention gradually dispersed.
Concubine Ping calmed down and thought about what she just said.
There was a scream?
Could it be that there was something wrong with the fetus in Concubine Ping's belly?
But she had specifically inquired before and found out that Wanmei's fetus was clearly in good condition, and Doctor Chen took her pulse.
I heard that with the use of good secret medicine, the child will definitely be born.
But just now...she inexplicably remembered the scene where the meal and tea on Wanmei's table were taken away.
Concubine Ping was trembling in her heart and looked over there involuntarily.
The place was empty. When the emperor saw it, he pointed to a beautiful woman sitting further away and asked her to sit over.
Yun Zhao accidentally caught a glimpse of Concubine Ping's face and was stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that she didn't use pastries, Xiao Changyin lowered his voice and asked.
Yun Zhao glanced over there, then pulled the man's hand with his wide sleeves, "It's been a long time since I left there."
Thinking that he might not have noticed, he said, "That's Wanmei, the doctor and the palace servants stayed just now."
"Maybe it's been a long time, and the queen mother hasn't come back yet."
Yun Zhao thought for a while and tentatively guessed, "Will the child in Wanmei's belly be okay?"
Xiao Changyin peeled off a lychee as if nothing had happened, and fed it directly to her lips without caring about the public.
Yun Zhao wanted to refuse, but was afraid of being seen, so he bit it off.
The lychees were so sweet that she couldn't help but take another bite.
After taking three bites in a row, a teasing voice came from the side, "The relationship between your Highness and the Crown Princess is really great when I see you."
Yun Zhao froze, took a handkerchief placed on the table and wiped the corners of his lips.
Lin Guiren drank the tea slowly, thinking about something, and accidentally glanced over. Then he drank the wine in the cup and put his hand on his forehead.
The palace attendant beside him whispered with concern, "Your Excellency, you are not feeling well?"
Lin Guiren slowly raised his head and showed a gentle smile, "It's okay."
The palace attendant also asked, "My lord?"
Lin Guiren shook his head, "Even if you feel uncomfortable, there is no reason to leave at this time."
She wanted to leave, but it was the same everywhere.
Probably because I drank too much, and seeing such a harmonious scene, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
When the palace officials heard this, they stopped asking.
However, he still looked at Lin Guiren with concern, fearing that she would feel uncomfortable.
…
The queen could not sympathize with Wanmei, who was suffering from the loss of her son.
She asked a few nuns to go over and hold the person down to avoid further injuries.
Wanmei couldn't believe that she would lose her child. She kept shaking her head, without any of her usual arrogance.
But after all, the queen was the only one here, so she asked angrily, "Did you harm my child?"
The noisy surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Aunt Feng frowned and was about to say something bold, but the queen had already raised her head to stop her.
The queen took a few steps forward, then raised her hand to hold Wan Mei's chin, and looked at her carefully.
Her eyes were no longer as gentle as before, but very cold, and the temperature in them seemed to give people frostbite.
"Is it similar?" she asked.
Wanmei's pupils shrank, and she turned her head sharply to get rid of her hand, "I, I don't know what you are talking about?"
"You must have harmed my child."
"If His Majesty knew, he would kill you and avenge Your Majesty and my children."
The Queen glanced at Nanny Feng, who immediately stepped forward and slapped the crazy Wanmei.
"you……"
The queen looked at her calmly and said, "I will kill you today and throw your body outside. Who dares to say no?"
"Your Majesty? He...will help you?"
Although her voice was indifferent, it had an inexplicable sarcastic tone.
"What about you?" the queen asked again, "This child..."
Before she could finish her words, the cold sweat on Wan Meiren's back almost made her clothes wet.
The queen raised her eyebrows with a meaningful look in her eyes.
She was just guessing, but she didn't expect it to be true. This is very interesting.
The queen didn't want to expose him, so she sent someone to Cuiwei Palace to take good care of him, then changed his clothes and went to the banquet again.
The emperor was impatient to wait, so when he saw her coming, he stretched out his hand and said, "What took you so long?"
The Queen acted as if she hadn't seen the hand, her eyes were calm, she sat down and said, "Your Majesty, you don't care about Wanmei?"
The emperor chuckled, "She's just a beauty."
The queen looked at him for a while and said, "The child in Wanmei's belly is gone. There is something wrong with the food she ate."
"It's not me." He retorted subconsciously, then frowned, "Meal?"
The meals at Cuiwei Palace were arranged by him, so logically there shouldn't be any problems.
"Yes, she just ate a snack here, and the snack was drugged, so even though Dr. Chen tried her best to diagnose and treat her, she still couldn't save it."
The emperor looked serious and frowned.
He wasn't worried about Wanmei, he was just thinking about who would do this if this snack appeared at the banquet.
Is it just on Wan Meiren’s table, or is it also on his table?
Someone wants to assassinate?
The queen saw what he was thinking and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The food and wine on your table have been checked by the imperial physician before. There will be no problems."
"There are also envoys from various countries at this banquet. When I have time later, I will go to Cuiwei Palace to take a look."
The queen took the wine cup handed to her by the palace attendant and drank slowly.
I thought to myself, this day is really going to change again.
It seems that the incident involving Wanmei was caused by the jealousy of the concubines in the harem.
