Xiao Yuezi came in with a palace maid. When the palace maid saw that Yinzhen was alarmed, she knelt on the ground and cried, her body shaking.

Yinzhen's face was gloomy. Su Peisheng glanced at him and asked, "Look up. Where are you from?"

The palace maid didn't dare to say a word and just cried.

Yinzhen didn't have the patience to listen to her cry and then answer: "If you don't say it, drag her out and find a quiet place to interrogate her slowly!"

Su Peisheng bent over and said "eh", and was about to ask someone to drag the palace maid away.

At this time, Zi Su said, "Why don't you tell me again in detail what you just said?"

Seeing that someone was really trying to drag her away, the maid quickly took two steps on her knees, almost rolling and crawling: "Your Majesty, I say, I say, I am the maid of Noble Lady Fucha, and I really did not mean to harm Noble Lady Xia! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Noble Lady Fucha?

Xia Dongchun sat up and looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground. She seemed familiar.

Yinzhen's expression remained unchanged: "Go on."

"Your Majesty, these past two days, besides the pregnant Concubine Shen and Concubine Xia, our young lady also likes to drink plum soup." As the palace maid spoke, she wanted to continue crying, but she secretly glanced at Yinzhen's expression and did not dare to keep crying.

She had no choice but to continue crying, "It's just that the portion our young master drank had hawthorn added to it. I didn't know that Concubine Xia's plum soup didn't have hawthorn, so I thought it was the same. Every time I went to get it, I thought that Concubine Xia was pregnant, and the people in the imperial kitchen must pay more attention to Concubine Xia's food, so I always felt that Concubine Xia's portion was better, so I exchanged the two portions, took Concubine Xia's for our young master, and our young master's portion mixed with hawthorn was... sent to Concubine Xia."

After the palace maid finished speaking, Xia Dongchun and Noblewoman Borjigit were so angry that they almost laughed.

Could you even come up with such a lame excuse?

Yinzhen also didn't believe it at all: "Ridiculous!"

The maid shuddered and cried, "Every word I said is true. I know that I accidentally harmed Concubine Xia and her unborn baby. I deserve death. I will never dare to deceive the emperor again!"

Su Peisheng was almost out of his mind. Did they really think that they were all fools? Who would believe such a reason? Moreover, Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Xia were not on good terms before. Su Peisheng thought that even he would not believe this reason.

Yinzhen was too lazy to listen to her nonsense and gave Su Peisheng a look. Su Peisheng waved his hand and someone came and dragged the maid away.

The palace maid was still begging for mercy when she was dragged away.

"I knew that Concubine Fucha and you didn't have a good relationship, but who knew she would do such a thing now." Yinzhen was still holding Xia Dongchun's hand, and seemed to have forgotten to let go. "Su Peisheng, pass on my order. Concubine Fucha will be confined for half a month. The rest will be discussed after I return."

Xia Dongchun's face became even uglier, but considering Yinzhen's presence, she didn't say anything else, but just said: "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs. Now that the imperial physician has said that there is nothing wrong with me and the child, I dare not delay Your Majesty any longer."

Yinzhen was indeed still busy. After hearing what she said, he said, "In that case, I will come to accompany you in the evening."

Xia Dongchun did not refuse this time. She nodded obediently and even pretended to get out of bed to see Yinzhen off, but Yinzhen stopped her and said, "Just take a rest. I'm leaving first."

The nobleman Borjigit led the people in the room to pay their respects and said, "Farewell, Your Majesty."

After Yinzhen left and the imperial physician also left, Xia Dongchun pounded the quilt hard, which hurt her hand. She grimaced, "Fucha Yixin! How much hatred do I have for her? She actually wanted to hurt me like this! I have never taken the initiative to cause trouble for her. The only time I set a trap for her was because she caused trouble for me first!"

Borjigit quickly grabbed her hand and said, "My sister, you may be angry, but why do you want to hurt yourself like this?"

Xia Dongchun was so angry: "Sister, the emperor only punished her to be grounded for half a month!"

"I know," said Borjigit, helplessly. "Why are you in such a hurry? We have to deal with her eventually. Besides, the imperial physician said that you can't get angry now, or your body won't be able to bear it."

Speaking of which, nobleman Borjigit was also helpless. This was the third time someone wanted to harm Xia Dongchun. He didn't know whether to praise Xia Dongchun for his strong physique or sigh that the kid was lucky. After three attempts, he still couldn't get what those people wanted.

Xia Dongchun gritted her teeth and said, "I, I will listen to my sister, but I am really angry."

"Well, the most important thing is to take good care of yourself. In less than four months, the baby will be born." Borjigit coaxed her, "I have made so many small clothes, waiting for the baby to wear them."

Speaking of children, Xia Dongchun calmed down a little.

As for Noble Lady Fucha, when Su Peisheng came to deliver the imperial edict, she didn't know what had happened. After hearing what Su Peisheng said, she was dumbfounded: "Eunuch Su, Eunuch Su, wait a minute, what is going on? I drink plum soup every day, but I don't know about the switch."

Su Peisheng was also helpless: "My lady, Ju'er beside you has confessed that she switched the plum soup between you and Concubine Xia, which caused Concubine Xia's fetal movement to be disturbed. This is related to the Dragon Descendant, and the emperor only punished you to be confined to your house for half a month, which is already a special mercy."

"Ju'er?!" Noble Lady Fucha looked around and realized that Ju'er was indeed missing.

Su Peisheng shook his head, sighed, and left Wuling Spring Scenery.

Noble Lady Fucha stumbled, and the next moment she threw all the tea sets on the table to the ground: "Bitch! Someone must have framed me!"

Noble Lady Fucha felt that she was extremely wronged and wished that time could go back so that she would never drink that damn plum soup again!

Sang'er supported her and said, "My lady, calm down. It's not good for your health if you get angry."

After Fu Cha Guiren calmed down, she wanted to cry again: "Who is trying to frame me? Will the emperor never come to see me again?"

When she panicked, Sang'er also panicked, but he still comforted her, "No, my lady, the emperor must know that you are innocent. The current confinement is just a vent of anger. My lady, you can't just let others frame you like this."

"...Yes." Noble Lady Fucha's mind raced, "It was her! It was Xia Dongchun! She must have harmed me!"

Sonny was stunned: "Huh?"

Noble Lady Fucha gnashed her teeth and said, "It must be her trick to frame me on purpose."

"But..." Sang'er whispered, "No matter how much hatred Concubine Xia has for you, she wouldn't joke about her unborn child, right? Concubine Xia is already more than six months pregnant. If she really uses this method to frame you, if she's not careful, it's very likely that both mother and child will be harmed. It's not worth it to harm you."
