The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

The daily greetings are actually to show respect to the Queen, the Emperor's principal wife and the mistress of the six palaces. Normally, there will be nothing special about it, and today is no exception.

Shangguan Yan had finished chatting with the concubines and, after fully demonstrating her majesty as the queen, she told everyone to disperse.

"I have asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some fried cakes, which will be delivered to you later. Now everyone can go." Shangguan Yan said, waved his hand, stood up and left.

Everyone stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Queen."

In the Xia Dynasty, it was customary to eat oil cakes on the second day of the second lunar month. Oil cakes were not expensive, but because of this, they were not usually made in the palace, so the queen specifically ordered it.

Gu Shijin looked at the queen's leaving back and pondered for a moment. She thought the queen had asked all the concubines to come today for some reason, but it turned out to be just to pick on people?

"My lady, let's go back." Xingzhu supported Gu Shijin and said.

Gu Shijin came back to his senses and nodded, "Let's go."

As soon as they stepped out of the gate of Fengyi Palace, they heard a scream.

"what……"

"My lady, my lady, how are you?"

"Miss!"

Gu Shijin paused. This voice seemed to be from the Imperial Concubine. He looked up and saw that it was indeed the Imperial Concubine.

Next to her stood Consort De and Consort Song. They looked confused, not understanding why Consort Chun fell down while walking.

"Young Master?" Xing Zhu called out in a low voice.

"Wait a moment. Even if we meet, we can't leave now." Gu Shijin sighed.

She said that she always felt something was wrong today, and this is how it happened.

"Ah! The imperial concubine is bleeding..." a palace maid exclaimed, pointing at the imperial concubine's body.

At this time, the queen who heard the noise also came out. Looking at the imperial concubine with no change in expression on her face, she calmly ordered everyone to carry the person into Fengyi Palace.

This place is quite far from the Imperial Concubine's Weiyang Palace, so it would definitely be safer to stay in Fengyi Palace.

Upon hearing that the imperial concubine was in trouble, the imperial physician came quickly.

The imperial physician frowned as he looked at the amount of bleeding the imperial concubine was suffering from. With this amount of bleeding, the imperial concubine might not be able to save her child.

Although he thought so in his mind, the imperial physician still stepped forward to examine and treat the patient carefully, hoping to save the imperial concubine's child as much as possible.

Shangguan Yan sat outside, looking at the people kneeling below, and asked seriously, "What on earth is going on? Why did he fall down for no reason?"

Knowing that two pregnant women would come today, Shangguan Yan had people clear the road to Fengyi Palace yesterday, determined not to let these people get into trouble in Fengyi Palace. However, despite all the precautions, they still couldn't prevent it.

"Empress, please help the Imperial Concubine." The Imperial Concubine's maid Su Yi cried, "It was Song Xiuyi who pushed the Imperial Concubine, and that's why she fell."

Concubine Song was sitting on a chair. When she heard Su Yi's words, she looked up at her. She said that the imperial concubine was acting so abnormal today and asked her to go with her. It turned out that it was to make it easier to frame her.

The women in the palace are not simple, and Concubine Song was able to give birth to the second prince safely in the palace. Naturally, she is not a simple person who can be framed easily.

"Suyi, you said that it was me who pushed the imperial concubine, do you have any evidence?" asked Concubine Song.

Concubine Song was not an ordinary concubine who could be overthrown at any time.

"Empress, please believe me. I saw it with my own eyes. It was Concubine Song who pushed the Imperial Concubine."

That means there is no evidence.

That’s right, the imperial concubine and her two companions were walking in the front, and the people behind them would not stare at them. After all, no one would have expected such an accident to happen.

There were quite a few people sitting in Fengyi Palace at this moment, and each of them was waiting to see what Su Yi would say.

Su Yi was also a little panicked, and the imperial concubine just told her that she just had to insist that it was Concubine Song who pushed her.

Su Yi looked around, fixed her eyes on Concubine De, and said, "Empress, Concubine De must have seen it too."

If Concubine Song can be eliminated, it will also be good for Concubine De. I have to say that Su Yi is really smart.

Concubine De looked up and said, "Your Majesty, I was distracted at the time and didn't see it clearly."

Concubine De didn't want to get involved in this matter, but it was just a sentence, so she could still say it.

And she really didn't see it clearly, although she felt that Concubine Song would not do such a stupid thing.

When Concubine Song heard what Concubine De said, she smiled at her. Although Concubine De did not tell the truth, it was good that she did not step forward and step on her at this time.

There are many people in the harem who take advantage of others' misfortunes. Look, there is one right in front of you.

"Empress, I saw it. It was indeed Concubine Song who pushed Concubine Chun." Noble Lady Lin came out and knelt in the center of the hall.

Concubine Lin suddenly rushed out, making everyone present have different expressions, some were watching the fun, some were mocking, some were surprised... In short, everyone felt that Concubine Lin was not smart.

Regardless of whether Concubine Song was punished in the end, hadn't she offended everyone by doing this?

Concubine Song smiled, looked at Concubine Lin with contempt, and asked, "Where did Concubine Lin see it?"

"Your Majesty, I was standing diagonally behind Concubine Lin at the time, and I saw with my own eyes that Concubine Song pushed the Imperial Concubine." Concubine Lin said.

But if you listen carefully, you can actually hear a hint of trembling in Concubine Lin's tone. She didn't want to stand out, but this was what the Empress asked her to do.

Today, Concubine Lin was invited over by the Queen's maid very early in the morning. The Queen told her that no matter what happened today, she must seize the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. Looking at the Queen's expression at this moment, it was obvious that she was satisfied with her performance. Concubine Lin quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the Queen Mother is satisfied with her, she will definitely protect her even if something happens in the future.

I can only say that Concubine Lin is too naive.

Concubine Song stood up and knelt in the center of the hall. She said in a tough manner, "Empress, even if I wanted to harm the Imperial Concubine, I wouldn't use such a stupid method as pushing someone in front of the gate of Fengyi Palace."

"I have never done this. Your Majesty, please check it carefully."

Shangguan Yan glanced at the few people and said, "Of course I believe Concubine Song, but they all said they saw it with their own eyes, so it's hard for me to judge."

"How about this, let's wait until the concubine wakes up."

Everyone knew that what they were waiting for was not the imperial concubine's awakening, but the imperial physician's diagnosis.

If nothing unexpected happened to the baby in the imperial concubine's belly, then this matter could be resolved peacefully. But if something unexpected happened to the baby in the imperial concubine's belly, then this matter would probably not be resolved peacefully.

In fact, many people present expressed doubts about what Duo Suyi and Lin Guiren said, but since the matter did not involve them, they did not want to say too much.

At this time, Shangguan Yan looked at Gu Shijin and said, "Jin Xiuyi, you are still pregnant, go back early."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Shijin was waiting for these words.

Gu Shijin stood up and was about to leave when the imperial physician came out.

"I am incompetent and failed to protect the heir to the throne. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
