Quick Wear: I was a Favored Concubine in the Qing Dynasty

Qianlong was relieved to hear that the fetus was saved, but the Queen's words "temporarily" made Qianlong worried again.

"Where is the imperial physician?" Qianlong asked.

Queen: "The imperial physician was sweating all over while giving acupuncture just now. I asked him to go to the side hall to rest for a while." It was impolite to meet the emperor in this state, and the queen was probably exhausted from seeing the imperial physician, so he probably needed to take a break.

"Let him come over."

"Yes." The queen replied, and immediately asked her aunt to call the imperial physician over.

Qianlong stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, looking gloomy, "Where is the little palace maid who bumped into me?"

"Your Majesty, I have asked someone to send her to the Ministry of Punishment, but there is still no result." The queen replied. She wanted to ask Qianlong to sit down and talk, but Qianlong would definitely not listen.

"Your Majesty, I have failed in my duty and failed to take good care of Concubine Chun. Please punish me." The Queen gritted her teeth and still told the matter here. Qianlong had instructed her before to look after Concubine Chun.

But she had made careful arrangements and did not expect that someone would run out while Concubine Chun was taking a walk. Moreover, there were always several people surrounding Concubine Chun, but Concubine Chun was still frightened and fell down.

Qianlong lowered his eyes to glance at the queen and waved his hand, "Queen, there is no need to blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you." Qianlong would not blame the queen for this matter. This was an accident. Moreover, the queen had been personally involved in everything these days and had always been fair and strict in handling matters in the harem.

The queen finally felt relieved after hearing this, "Your Majesty, I will go in and see Concubine Chun."

"I'll go with you." Qianlong also wanted to take a look at what Concubine Chun was like.

As soon as he entered the room, a faint smell of blood came. Qianlong wrinkled his nose and said nothing.

The two palace maids in the room were busy changing the mattresses on the couch. Concubine Chun's two personal maids accompanied her.

When Concubine Chun saw Qianlong and the Queen come in together, tears immediately fell like rain, "Your Majesty~"

Concubine Chun's voice was trembling. She was so scared that she almost thought she could not save her child.

Qianlong stepped forward and stood in front of the bed. Looking at Concubine Chun who was crying uncontrollably, he whispered to comfort her, "Don't cry. It's not good for the child."

The Queen lagged behind by one step. While Qianlong was speaking, she just looked at Concubine Chun quietly. Her face was pale and her eyes were full of fear.

He also sighed in his heart, Concubine Chun is also suffering now.

Concubine Chun was in tears. Seeing that the Queen was present, she was too embarrassed to say those words and could only look at Qianlong and cry.

Qianlong bent down and patted Concubine Chun's hand, "It's okay, just take good care of yourself." At this moment, he couldn't say anything more to comfort her. With a slightly frowned brow, he stayed with Concubine Chun for a while, then came out with the empress.

After the queen came out, she didn't know what to say. The results of the investigation had not yet come out, but those second-class palace maids were still kneeling where they were.

Qianlong consulted the imperial physician and was told that Concubine Chun only needed to rest until giving birth and there would be nothing serious. Then he handed all matters over to the empress and went back to continue handling government affairs.

Li Yu was kept by Qianlong to assist the Queen in handling this matter.

When Yu Suisui heard about it, she was drinking and watching a play with the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager looked at Aunt Gao worriedly, "Is Concubine Chun okay?"

The emperor has not many children. There are only four princes and even fewer princesses, only the eldest princess.

Aunt Gao: "In reply to the Empress Dowager, the news came that Concubine Chun's pregnancy was saved, but she has to stay in bed to protect the fetus until she gives birth." This is a blessing in disguise, as Concubine Chun was supposed to give birth in less than two months, but then this happened.

The Empress Dowager's complexion improved slightly, "What happened?" Concubine Chun had been taking good care of her pregnancy, how could something like this suddenly happen?

"I don't know. I only heard that a young palace maid bumped into Concubine Chun clumsily, causing her to fall. Fortunately, two older palace maids cushioned her and prevented a bigger disaster."

This was all the information Aunt Gao knew. She felt that Concubine Chun’s being hit was definitely not an accident.

The Empress Dowager no longer wanted to listen to the opera. She frowned and said, "How do the palace maids in the Ministry of Internal Affairs teach? How can they be so reckless? Go ask about this matter again to see if there is any hidden truth. Also ask the Queen to thoroughly investigate this palace. What kind of demons and monsters have come out?"

Since the Queen took charge of the six palaces, there has never been a case of harming the royal heir. Now that such a thing has occurred, she must be severely punished.

Aunt Gao: "Yes, I will go right away."

Yu Suisui listened but did not comment. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was up regarding Concubine Chun, but as to who it was, that was hard to guess.

It was not until the next day that the Queen found out something, saying that it was related to someone around Concubine Jia.

Concubine Jia was called over by the Queen for questioning. Upon hearing this, she immediately stood up and loudly retorted, "Your Majesty, you can't talk nonsense about this! My relationship with Concubine Chun is not that good, but I am not someone who treats children as if they were human beings!"

She hoped that Concubine Chun would give birth to a daughter, but that didn't mean she wanted to harm her baby.

The Queen looked at the angry Concubine Jia and said, "Keep your voice down. I didn't say it was you who did it. It's just that this little maid did have contact with the maid who was sweeping the floor in Fenghe's Quyuan, and she also said that you were unhappy about Concubine Chun getting pregnant again."

The possibility of Concubine Jia taking action is really too low. Concubine Jia already has a son, so whether Concubine Chun's baby is a boy or a girl will not have much impact on Concubine Jia.

How could Concubine Jia stay calm? She was being wronged!

Injustice!

"Your Majesty, please understand. I am a person who dares to take responsibility for my actions. I am dissatisfied that Concubine Chun is pregnant again, but I will not harm anyone's life!" Concubine Jia was very excited. That was a human life!

She was a person who had never even killed a chicken, and yet she went to kill someone!

How is that possible? She said a lot of sour words behind his back, but they were just some private gossips and complaints. She would never dare to do anything to hurt others.

Seeing that Concubine Jia was becoming more and more agitated, the Queen had no choice but to ask her to sit down and talk. She had not slept all night and had a severe headache. She managed to stay awake and asked Concubine Jia to come over and ask her. She was relying on ginseng tea to keep her awake.

"Don't get excited. I asked you to come here just to ask. I didn't say that you did it. It's just that I will take the person in your palace who talked about it to the Ministry of Punishment." The queen was exhausted and spoke much slower than usual.

Concubine Jia: "Go away, go away. Who is the person who spread the gossip? I will send him back myself!" That bitch wants to harm her!

She worked diligently to please the emperor for more than ten years before she was able to become a concubine. She is determined to make those who harm her pay.

It can be seen from Concubine Jia's attitude that she is indeed frank about this matter. The Queen breathed a sigh of relief and asked Zhuyu to take people to send the palace maid who messed up the house to the Ministry of Punishment.

"Please sit down for a while. If this matter has nothing to do with you, I will naturally clarify it for you." The queen could hardly open her eyes when she spoke.

At her age, staying up late is really uncomfortable. But if this matter is not resolved quickly, the emperor will definitely have opinions if it is delayed day by day.

Concubine Jia sat on the chair angrily, staring at the vase on the shelf in front of her. Whoever was framing her behind her back would be beaten with twenty sticks once she found out.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. It's just that I feel upset right now. Apart from having a bad temper, I have not done anything against the law. How could someone want to harm me behind my back and put me to death?" Concubine Jia felt very upset.

She liked to gossip about people behind their backs, and she also went to the Bodhisattva to pray for someone to die. She also said that she hoped Concubine Chun would give birth to a princess.

But if Bodhisattva was so useful, she would have given birth to eight or ten children long ago.

The Queen was mentally exhausted and had no extra energy to comfort Concubine Jia. "Concubine Jia, please sit quietly. I have a headache now." She didn't want to listen to Concubine Jia's nagging. Her brain became more and more confused when she listened.

Concubine Jia had no choice but to shut up and started to think about crickets in her mind.

Fortunately, the maid who was sweeping the floor was not stubborn and told everything she knew, and that it had nothing to do with Concubine Jia.

She just heard the palace maids above whispering to each other when they were sleeping at night, and when she met the little palace maid, the two of them chatted for a while.

Unexpectedly, the little palace maid took advantage of this opportunity to frame Concubine Jia.

"Bitch!" Concubine Jia stood up again in anger and pointed outside, "Empress, I'm going to beat her with a stick!"

Wrongly accused her! She wanted to hit someone!

The queen pressed her forehead and said, "I understand. Since this matter has nothing to do with you, you should go back first." The queen looked at Zhuyu, as if there was something else she hadn't said, so she should ask Concubine Jia to go back first.

Concubine Jia bowed reluctantly and took her leave.

After Concubine Jia left, the Queen asked, "Tell me, is there anything else?"

Zhu Yu: "Your Majesty, this little maid originally worked for Concubine Geng Gui. After the Empress Dowager sent Concubine Geng Gui back to the palace, this little maid had nowhere to go, so she was re-arranged to be a maid in the Old Summer Palace. Two months ago, the little maid's father fell seriously ill, and Concubine Geng Gui gave money for his treatment. The little maid said that this was her own fault and it had nothing to do with Concubine Geng Gui."

Whether this matters or not cannot be determined solely by this little palace maid.

The people from the Ministry of Punishment went to check on the little palace maid's family and found that there was no sick father at all. Not only were her parents fine, but her brother had also married and moved into a new house.

"Also, the Ministry of Punishment should investigate. The one who gave the money was not Concubine Geng, but it was also related to the Prince Heqin's Palace."

Zhu Yu whispered, "The one who gave the money is a princess from the Prince Heqin's mansion. It turns out that she grew up in the same alley as this little palace maid. This princess is a few years older than the little palace maid. She was originally going to be engaged to the princess of the little palace maid. But later when she was working in the palace, she was sent by Concubine Geng to serve the Princess of Heqin. Later, I don't know how she became the princess of the Prince Heqin."

The queen's head was buzzing after hearing all this. "Let's get to the point. Who ordered this?"
