I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 123 Bad News

"Master, it's done." Zhu Qing trotted into the hall and whispered into Concubine Xiao's ear.

Concubine Xiao nodded lightly, turned her head to look out the window, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of her lips.

She was originally worried about how to get the things into Huayin Palace, but unexpectedly, this opportunity was brought to her by Concubine Yun herself.

Bitch Xu has been spoiled by her favor and has been acting like a spoiled brat these past two days, which has given her an opportunity to take advantage of her.

Now, she just waits for good news.

"Empress Rong is here!"

A sharp voice suddenly sounded from outside.

Concubine Xiao glanced out the window in surprise, put her hand on Zhu Qing's hand, and went out to pay her respects to Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong glanced at her and said, "Get up. The calming scent you sent last time was a little weak. I don't like it. Since you have nothing to do, I have prepared a new one these two days."

"Yes." Concubine Xiao bowed obediently.

"I am ordered by the Queen Mother to go and see Sister Yunfei. It's cold outside, so don't stand outside."

Concubine Rong walked forward with her people, and her grace could be seen even from her back.

Only after the group of people disappeared did Concubine Xiao stand up and let Zhu Qing help her into the hall.

"Master, Concubine Rong is going too far. You are the master of the harem after all, but she treats you like a pharmacist. You are just too good-natured. You always agree to her demands and let her bully you."

"What else can I do?" Concubine Xiao sat on the couch and sighed softly, "She is a concubine and has the emperor's favor. How can I, a concubine without favor, compete with her? It's just making some incense. Anyway, I also like to play with these things. It's not worth it."

Zhu Qing was still dissatisfied: "But you bought those spices with your own money, so she got them for free!"

"Look how angry you are." Concubine Xiao reached out and pinched her face. "In the past, you were the one who advised me. Why are you the one who lost your temper first today?"

Zhu Qing pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, and then whispered: "I am nervous."

Thinking of the incense that she had someone put into Huayin Hall this morning and the purpose of the incense, she became very nervous and cold sweat broke out on her palms.

Hearing this, Concubine Xiao's smile faded and she waved her hand, saying, "Go out first. I want to be alone."

Zhu Qing looked at her worriedly, lowered his head and walked out the door.

At the same time, Concubine Rong and her entourage entered the Huayin Palace.

Because she was vomiting the medicine so hard that she felt like she had vomited out her brains, Yun Fei managed to pull herself together. With Chunlian's help, she rinsed her mouth and washed her face. When she raised her eyes, she saw the woman she hated to death walking in leisurely from the door.

That glowing face is still damn beautiful.

Thinking of the humiliation she suffered at the hands of this woman when she first entered the palace, and the pain of being almost disfigured, Concubine Yun wanted to pounce on Concubine Rong and scratch her.

Seeing how haggard and weak Concubine Yun looked, with a faint sour smell lingering in her nose, a hint of surprise flashed across Concubine Rong's charming and beautiful eyes.

She had thought that the sour Xing'er incident was just Yun Fei's pretentiousness, something she did on purpose to take advantage of her, just to use the royal heir in her belly to suppress her. Now it seemed to be true.

Looking at Concubine Yun's face, there is not a single bit of her former charm. I'm afraid that His Majesty would frown in disgust when he sees her, right?

Thinking of this, Concubine Rong raised her hand and gently stroked her beautiful face that she had taken so much effort to maintain. Is it really so terrible to be pregnant and have a child?

Concubine Yun also knew that she was now very haggard. When she saw Concubine Rong's actions, she thought that this bitch was deliberately showing off in front of her. Her hatred for Concubine Rong deepened by three points.

She bit the inside of her lower lip and managed a smile: "I was not feeling well and was not able to come to greet you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"You look so ugly, so just lie down." Concubine Rong put the scented handkerchief to her nose to block out the faint sour smell. She turned her beautiful eyes slightly and winked at Xiang Lu behind her.

Xianglu came forward with a small food box, placed it on the small table beside the bed, opened the lid of the food box, and took out the sour apricots in the white jade cup. "Empress Yun, these are sour apricots made by my queen herself. I heard that you were suffering from morning sickness, so I brought them to you right after they were made. Come and have a try."

"Ahem." Concubine Yun coughed twice with her eyelashes drooping. Chunlian stepped forward and took the white jade cup from Xianglu's hand. "Thank you, young lady. Let me do it."

Xiang Lu knew that her master and Concubine Yun did not get along, and she had no intention of really serving Concubine Yun food, so she let go and retreated to Concubine Rong's side.

Concubine Rong sat down on the chair brought by the palace maid and glanced at Concubine Yun: "I have only made this sour apricot for His Majesty and the Queen Mother. Today, you are lucky enough to get it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Yun signaled the palace servants to help her up and lean her back on the stacked soft pillows.

Chunlian first washed her hands with clean water and dried them with a soft cloth. Then she picked up the silver chopsticks, picked up a sour apricot and fed it into Yunfei's slightly opened mouth.

Concubine Rong looked at her expression and asked, "How is it?"

Concubine Yun's cheek was puffed up by the sour apricots. She nodded and smiled, "That's the taste. Thank you, Madam."

Concubine Rong snorted softly, "If you want to thank someone, thank your stomach. It's your blessing to have the Queen Mother take special care of you."

Now that she had completed the Queen Mother's instructions, she did not intend to stay any longer and stood up leisurely, "I have something else to do in the palace, so I will leave first."

"Have a good time, Madam." Concubine Yun winked at Chunlian, "Chunlian, see me off."

Chunlian nodded and followed him out quickly.

After escorting Concubine Rong and her entourage out of Yaohua Palace and listening to a few words of instruction from Concubine Rong, Chunlian turned back.

She ordered, "The queen needs to rest, you all go down and guard the door, and don't let anyone in."

The palace servants left the hall one after another, and suddenly only Concubine Yun and Chunlian were left in the hall.

Chunlian walked to the dressing table, reached out her hand to feel behind the mirror, and scratched the depression at the bottom.

With a "click" sound, the lotus lampstand in the corner, which seemed to be connected to the dressing table, suddenly spun off from its lotus seat.

Chunlian picked up two hairpins, reached into the hollow handles like chopsticks, and picked out a small paper bag.

There is a white pill wrapped in the paper bag.

Chunlian pursed her lips, closed the mechanism again, and walked to the bed holding the pill.

Concubine Yun reached out and picked up the pill, held it in front of her eyes and looked at it for a moment, a sneer escaped her lips, and she swallowed it without hesitation.

Chunlian brought her some water to moisten her throat, and at her signal, she took out a few sour apricots from the snack box in the cabinet and replaced them with those in the white jade cup.

Half an hour later, bad news came from Yaohua Palace. Concubine Yun suddenly had severe abdominal pain and spotting. When the imperial physician arrived, Concubine Yun had already miscarried.

The queen was surprised when she got the news and stood up too quickly, which might have caused a miscarriage. The imperial physician diagnosed that she needed to stay in bed and rest, so he could not come.

Shufei and Chun Zhaoyi were in charge of the harem, so they hurried over with their men. As soon as they entered the door, they smelled a strong smell of blood.

The palace maids brought out several basins of blood, and Concubine Yun's sobbing voice came from behind the screen, each cry became more mournful than the last, which made the two men feel nervous.

At the same time, Zhou Yuande, who received the news, quickly walked into the hall and leaned over to whisper in Xiao Jingfan's ear.

Xiao Jingfan accidentally knocked over the wine glass, startling Master Yan and others, who looked upward in confusion.

Xiao Jingfan pursed his lips, looked at Minister Wen with deep eyes, and whispered: "Empress Yun had a miscarriage."

Minister Wen was stunned when he heard this, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, hitting the carpet with a dull thud.

The mellow wine splashed out, creating several splashes on the dark trouser legs.
