I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? My dear daughter, please don't scare me!" Ai's mother came from the countryside. When she was anxious, she didn't care about the royal dignity and palace rules. She hugged her daughter and burst into tears.

The palace maids around her could not persuade her, and it was not until the imperial physician came to examine her that they reluctantly pushed her away to give the physician a relatively quiet environment for diagnosis.

"This, this, this is a sign of miscarriage. What happened? The young lady's fetus was fine this morning..."

"Did Madam bring anything for the young lady to eat?" Before the imperial physician could finish his words, he was pushed aside.

"Do you think I would suspect a mother of harming her own daughter? No, no, nothing! Could it be that you, a quack doctor, have ruined my daughter's body and yet you are talking nonsense to me!" Ai's mother roared in frustration.

Ai Ziyi looked at everything around her with a dull gaze, as if she were in a dream.

At this time, she managed to react a little. She opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the pain in her abdomen.

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much…”

There was chaos all around.

Not long after, the queen arrived. With her arrival, everyone present felt reassured. No matter how unwilling Ai's mother was, she did not dare to make trouble in front of the queen.

The imperial physician was finally able to free up his hands to treat Ai Ziyi properly, but in the end there was nothing he could do and the child could not be saved.

The queen couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty has been wise and brave since he ascended the throne, and has worked hard to govern the country. Everyone in the world praises your Majesty's virtues, but he has been unlucky in terms of offspring. Until now, there is not even a prince who can stand on his own. Because of the eldest princess, I couldn't spare the time to take care of Lady Lan's baby myself, but I also gave good instructions to my sister, Concubine Xian, but something went wrong in the end."

"Although I shouldn't say anything discouraging at this time, this is about the emperor's offspring, so I can't just ignore it. Go and invite Concubine Xian to come over. I have something to ask her."

The virtuous concubine came very quickly. She had a pale face and could only walk in front of the queen with the help of Miao'er.

Seeing her like this, the Queen couldn't say anything harsh. After all, Concubine Xian was in poor health, and the whole harem knew about it. It was just that several important masters in the palace were unable to spare their time, so she was responsible for Lan Meiren's pregnancy. The Queen only asked a few questions and found that no taboo objects were sent to Ai Ziyi, and no suspicious people appeared, so she let Concubine Xian go back to rest.

But Concubine Xian rejected the Queen's kindness.

"Your Highness, I know your good intentions, but I am responsible for this matter after all. If I am not here when the Emperor asks about it, I will inevitably be accused of dereliction of duty."

Hearing Concubine Xian say this, the Queen had no choice but to nod and agree to let her stay.

Ai Ziyi was in good health. Although she encountered a sudden change and suffered a miscarriage, which injured her body, her foundation was still there, and she soon struggled to regain some consciousness.

When the queen heard the imperial physician say this, she hurried in, sat beside Ai Ziyi's bed, and whispered to comfort her.

"Wang Fuhai...it was the eunuch Wang Fuhai who killed the fetus in my belly...My queen, you have to take charge of the matter for me!" Ai Ziyi struggled and spoke out the information she knew in a weak voice.

However, to her surprise, the Queen's first reaction when she heard her say this was not surprise or anger, but fear.

"Lady Lan, I know you lost your child and your heart aches, but please don't talk nonsense! This man has been dead for decades!"

Hearing the Queen say this, Ai Ziyi didn't believe it at first, but then she felt that there was really no reason for the Queen and the people in this palace to lie to her. She was so sad that she vomited blood, then her eyes went black and she lost all consciousness.

Seeing her like this, the queen had no choice but to leave first, and replaced the imperial physician, ordering that she must treat the patient well, and ordered people to send Ai's mother who stayed in the palace out. No matter what, outside women were not allowed to stay in the palace, even if Ai Ziyi had just lost her child and was in unbearable grief.

Ai's mother was intimidated by the royal majesty. Even if she was dissatisfied, she dared not say it out loud. She had to leave in dissatisfaction.

Even when the queen was away from the palace, she was not idle. During the time when he was in charge of the affairs of the harem, a concubine had an unexpected miscarriage. He could not be implicated in any way, and the information that Ai Ziyi revealed before she fell into a coma was too scary, so she went directly to see the queen mother.
