Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Niu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that nothing had happened to the Imperial Concubine.

While wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, he heard Concubine Xiao's trembling voice asking again,

"I'm asking you, do you think there's still hope for King Rui?"

"Your Majesty, this... this is hard to say. I can only do my best."

Concubine Xiao was anxious and angry, and her stomach was aching again.

She resisted the urge to beat the imperial physician Niu,

"Alright! Go down now! You must keep your mouth shut and don't let the emperor know the severity of Prince Rui's injury!

Next, you must do everything you can to heal King Rui. "

"Yes, your majesty, don't worry. Prince Rui has already given instructions. I will do my best. I will take my leave."

Having said that, Imperial Physician Niu wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurried back!

When Concubine Xiao saw that everyone had left, she held her big belly with her hands and told Aunt Yao,

"I'm going to rest for a while, please don't disturb me."

"Yes. Madam."

Concubine Xiao hurried into the inner room.

Aunt Yao hurriedly scolded Chunhua and Qiushi before sending them away.

*

In the inner room,

Concubine Xiao closed the door and impatiently took off the button from her neck and said anxiously,

"Kouxian, please help my Prince Rui quickly, otherwise the emperor will know the truth sooner or later.

By then, my son's position as crown prince will be hopeless! Wuuuuuu... Please help me."

As Concubine Xiao became more anxious, her stomach began to ache again.

Under this double torture, Concubine Xiao felt exhausted and was about to collapse in the next second.

At this time,

The button glowed faintly, and the voice of the button fairy came from inside.

"Ruyue, I'm not saying anything to you, but why do all the bad things happen to your family? You shouldn't come to me for help, you should find the root of the problem!

Ru Yue, I have already sacrificed so much for your family.

In order to see you sooner, I practiced day and night and finally accumulated some magic power.

But in order to quell your father's private army, I used up all my magic power, so I can only start practicing again bit by bit.

Now I haven't recovered yet, and your son is in trouble again. Don't you feel sorry for me? Don't you want to see me sooner?"

*

Button Fairy's voice rose higher and higher. He became angrier and angrier the more he spoke, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. This was the first time he got angry at Concubine Xiao.

Concubine Xiao was so frightened that she began to tremble all over.

For some reason, the cramps in her stomach were so frightening that she lost all feeling. Her heart was beating like a drum and tears were streaming.

Huang Daxian saw through the button mirror that Concubine Xiao had a pale face and was biting her lips tightly.

Suddenly, without saying anything, he slowly knelt down, holding his waist.

"Ruyue?"

The Button Fairy screamed in shock and almost appeared out with its big tail swung.

*

Concubine Xiao seemed to be in extreme distress, she knelt down and begged,

"For the last time. I'm begging you for the last time. Really, I don't want to see you.

I was pregnant with your child, and all I thought about day and night was your cultivation and upgrading so that we could meet one day earlier.

But nothing can happen to my father, the Prime Minister. If anything happens to him, my son will lose everything!

I, Xiao Ruyue, have lived my life again and have everything! But my last wish is to see my son take the throne of the crown prince. If he ascends the throne in the future, I will have no regrets in my life.

Kouxian, I don’t know why the situation has become like this now.

I couldn't just watch them die and lose everything.

Please, for the last time, really, please save my son! "

At this point, Concubine Xiao was sobbing and sobbing.

*

Her tears were the weak spot of Button Fairy. He sighed deeply and said with heartache,

"Alright! Stop crying! We agreed that I will do it one last time.

However, King Rui's vitals were injured too severely, and my current magical powers are no longer able to heal him in one go!

Don't bother me during this time. I will do my best to heal him. You should also be obedient and take good care of the baby and don't worry. "

After saying this, without waiting for Concubine Xiao to respond, the faint light of the button disappeared!

*

Concubine Xiao slowly stood up with the help of the bed. After receiving the promise from the Button Fairy, hope arose in her heart.

I wiped away my tears and said to the button sincerely,

"Thank you! Thank you! Without you helping me, I would have collapsed and died!"

Although there was no response to what she said, Concubine Xiao knew that Button Fairy must have heard it!

Then she carefully put the button back around her neck.

Concubine Xiao left the inner room.

He instructed Aunt Yao,

"Nurse, please go to the Rui Palace to take care of my prince in person these few days. I am worried about others going there."

"Ah? Madam, let Chunhua go! Your pregnancy is so serious that your nurse is even more worried about you!"

"No, just you go."

Aunt Yao still wanted to persuade her.

Suddenly, the head maid Qiushi rushed in and shouted anxiously,

"Something bad has happened! Imperial Concubine, something bad has happened! Someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion said that the gold and silver we sent over were all fake. The merchants did not get the silver they were owed, so they all went to the gate of the mansion to make trouble.

This time, the Prime Minister was impeached by the censors again!"

*

"What? The gold and silver we sent were all fake? How is that possible? That was all the queen had!"

After Aunt Yao exclaimed, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a "click".

Concubine Xiao couldn't believe her ears! She asked in a trembling voice,

"Are you sure that the fake silver was sent by us?"

"Yes, yes. Madam, it is absolutely true. Have you forgotten that the gold and silver in our storehouse were also sent by Prince Rui and the Prime Minister?!"

Concubine Xiao staggered back a few steps and almost lost her balance, but was caught by Qiu Shi, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.

"My lady, please don't worry!"

But Concubine Xiao murmured,

"How can all this gold and silver be fake? How can it be fake?"

Her hand tightly grasped Qiushi's arm, and her nails dug into Qiushi's skin, causing her to cry out in pain, but Concubine Xiao was unaware of the pain.

*

Suddenly, there was another sound of footsteps outside the palace, and a young eunuch ran in without notifying anyone, knelt on the ground with a plop and started shouting,

"Something happened to the Imperial Concubine! The Prime Minister has been arrested!"

"What? Wasn't the Prime Minister confined to his residence? Why was he arrested again?"

Aunt Yao asked loudly.

The young eunuch said hurriedly,

"The Prime Minister's Mansion was late in paying back the money it owed to the merchants. When it was finally paid back, it turned out to be fake gold and silver ingots.

After being impeached by the censors, someone reported that there were equipment and raw materials for making counterfeit silver in the warehouse of the Prime Minister's Office.

The emperor was furious and ordered Captain Li the Guard to take people to search. Wow... they really found it!

"My Lady, what should we do? The Prime Minister has been locked up! Can you think of a way to save him?"

The young eunuch burst into tears.

Concubine Xiao was so pale that she couldn't speak.
