Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

Seeing the chaos in the side courtyard, and the fact that Yinzhen directly took Tong Nuanyan away, no one noticed the panicked Fourth Lady sitting on her seat. She looked at the dead baby on the ground in guilt and panic, with malice in her eyes.

Qiu Li, her personal maid, came over and nodded implicitly to the Fourth Lady, indicating that the job was done.

"Someone come! Capture this midwife! Who ordered you to murder Lord Beile's young prince?" The Fourth Lady glared fiercely at the panicked midwife lying on the ground, secretly hoping that Tong Nuanyan would become ill because of the fright of the dead baby.

Two sturdy maids came in and pinned the midwife to the ground. No matter how she struggled, she couldn't get away. "Fujin! It's unfair! I didn't harm the little prince. The little prince couldn't be born for a long time and died in his mother's womb!!!"

The midwife was crying on the ground, but besides panic, she also looked relieved. The other concubines in the yard didn't dare to speak, and some were even frightened to the point of being unable to move by the dead baby on the ground.

Before the Fourth Lady could give the order, a maid rushed out of the delivery room. It was Su Gege's maid: "Father! You must make the decision for Su Gege! Although the little prince was weak when he was born, he could still cry quietly. It was this midwife! She suffocated the little prince to death!"

Suddenly, the Fourth Lady looked frightened and shouted, "Come here! Drag this midwife out and give her twenty strokes of the cane! Keep beating her until she reveals who is behind this!"

Soon, the sound of a board hitting flesh and the midwife's screams of breathing in and out were heard from the gate of the yard. Bright red blood was flowing on the ground, which was very creepy.

Li sat in the corner feeling very uneasy. She had not expected that the midwife would actually suffocate the little prince to death on her own initiative. The midwife had probably been set up long ago, and she was foolish enough to jump into the trap. She had to find a way as soon as possible.

Just when Li was thinking about how to leave, a nanny came in at the door and said that the midwife had confessed and wanted to come in to identify her!

"Bring the person in and let her identify him!" The Fourth Lady gave a determined smile and gave the order majestically.

Two maids dragged the bloody midwife in and threw her in front of everyone, frightening the concubines so much that their faces turned pale. The Fourth Lady said pitifully, "Mammy, I don't want to embarrass you. As long as you tell me who caused it, I will let you go!"

The midwife couldn't help but glance at Li, and shouted with an unknown strength: "This was all ordered by the concubine!" Then she stabbed hard and hit her head against the wall, and died as if she was relieved.

The whole courtyard was filled with screams, but the Fourth Lady was relieved. Now that the nanny was dead, no one would know about this anymore! "Someone, come! Lock up the concubine and wait for Lord Beile's decision!"

"No! Fu Jin, it wasn't me, I didn't do it!" Li never thought that she would be betrayed. The most important thing was that this was not her order, it was Fu Jin! It must be Fu Jin's plan! !

No matter how Li cried and shouted, the Fourth Lady remained unmoved and simply had her dragged away.

"Fujin, the eldest princess and the second prince?" Qiu Li asked.

"Let the servants serve first, and you arrange someone to watch over it. There can't be any mistakes!" The Fourth Lady hated Li, and naturally didn't like the child she gave birth to, so she just let the servants watch over it.

……

Snow Courtyard.

Yinzhen carried Tong Nuanyan all the way from the side courtyard back to Piaoxue Courtyard, his whole body drenched in sweat. He gently put Tong Nuanyan on the bed, turned around and sat beside her, staring at her closely, not daring to leave.

"Yanyan, how are you?" Yinzhen asked anxiously when he saw Tong Nuanyan slowly opening her eyes. He was afraid that the dead baby had frightened Tong Nuanyan, and the thought of it made him terrified.

Tong Nuanyan used her special powers to make her face pale, and said weakly: "Yinzhen, I'm so scared, the little prince born to Su Gege is dead..." As she spoke, she leaned weakly into Yinzhen's arms.

"Yanyan, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Yinzhen comforted her, gently trying to wipe away the tears from her eyes. But when he looked away, his eyes were particularly gloomy. No matter how spoiled Su Gege was, the ones who died were all his sons!

"Su Peisheng! What's the current situation in the side courtyard?" Yinzhen shouted.

Su Peisheng immediately came in from outside in a hurry, his face was very panicked, and after a while he said: "My Lord, the midwife next to Su Gege confessed her crime and committed suicide, accusing the concubine of the concubine of ordering her to harm the little prince."

Tong Nuanyan, who was in Yinzhen's arms, felt that he was holding back his anger, and his whole body was tense with anger. He took a long time to speak, "Su Peisheng, go down and investigate thoroughly! Li, confine her to her house! The second prince and the eldest princess should move to the front yard!"

"Yeah!" Su Peisheng quickly took the order and left.

Tong Nuanyan listened calmly, without any ripples in her heart.

"Yanyan, my master has lost his child. You must give birth to the baby safely!" Tong Nuanyan suddenly felt a hint of wetness on her neck. Yinzhen actually shed tears. For a moment, he was stunned.

Tong Nuanyan stroked his handsome face with heartache and assured him, "It'll be okay, Yinzhen, our child is very strong! He's not scared at all!" As she spoke, she took Yinzhen's hand and placed it on her belly, letting him feel the child's strong and powerful fist.

For a while, they both enjoyed a moment of peace in silence. Soon, they felt sleepy and fell asleep in each other's arms.

When Tong Nuanyan woke up again, Yinzhen was no longer around her, and the moon was already high in the sky outside. It was already night. Yun Xin, who was standing by, saw her wake up and quickly brought her a bowl of lotus root and lily bulbs.

"The concubine has slept for three hours. Maybe she is hungry?" As he said this, he stepped forward to help lift up Tong Nuanyan's heavy body and placed a soft pillow behind her.

"805, what's going on outside?" Tong Nuanyan ate lotus root in silence, but asked 805 curiously in her heart, wanting to know the follow-up as soon as possible.

805 lived up to everyone's expectations and spoke a long string of words: [Host, Yinzhen slept here for half an hour and then left. He sent a few midwives to the Ministry of Punishment. Su Gege was completely despised by him. It seemed that he blamed her for taking the medicine to induce labor. She has been locked up in the side yard and is not allowed to leave. ]

"How did the news of Su taking labor-inducing drugs come to light?" Although this matter was not concealed, no one would notice it in front of the fact that the young prince was brutally murdered.

[It was said by a concubine who was close to Su, saying that she felt guilty and came out to expose the matter.] 805 It has been a long time since she came out, and when she does, she is like a chatterbox with endless things to say.

[Host, who is the mastermind behind this tragedy?] 805 has now learned to make people guess riddles, and asked mysteriously.

"The biggest beneficiary is the Fourth Lady. The tonic made the baby too big. She originally wanted to kill two birds with one stone, but Su induced the labor. She had to change her strategy temporarily. The midwife who betrayed Li was also from the Ulanara family. She killed two birds with one stone. No, she wanted to scare me with the dead baby. Kill three birds with one stone!"

[Host, are you going to tell Yinzhen about this? ]

"Yes. 805 You should ask Xia Xi to do it in a more subtle way so that he can find it by accident." Why not reveal it? We should also bring out Li and let them fight, so as to attract the firepower of the whole yard.
