Chapter 85: Zhu stops killing intent

Hearing about Noble Lady Fucha's miscarriage, Concubine Hua put down her hand that was touching Zhu Cui. After a moment of silence, Concubine Hua said, "Does the Emperor know?"

"I heard it from Baoque in the Yanxi Palace. I think the servants in the Yanxi Palace have already informed the emperor by now."

Songzhi was worried about her master. Noble Lady Fucha had a miscarriage, and Noble Lady Shen and Concubine Xin might not be released for a while.

"Let's add a dish of stewed duck with sour bamboo shoots to lunch today. I haven't had it for a long time and I'm craving the taste. Once it's ready, send some to Concubine Shen, Concubine Xin, and Concubine An. Also, Concubine Wan, don't forget it."

Seeing that Concubine Hua had no intention of getting up and going to the Yanx Palace, Songzhi did not ask any more questions and agreed to go find Lingzhi who was stationed in the small kitchen.

Concubine Hua looked at Songzhi's worried face and a sincere smile appeared on her lips.

Silly girl, your master has a headache and has been on leave for more than ten days without paying his respects. Now that something has happened in the Yanx Palace, you rush to the palace. Isn't it obvious that you are asking others to use you as a gun?

Besides, the fetus that Noble Lady Fucha miscarried was not a boy. I think the Emperor has just found a new love, so he wouldn't be too sad to hear the news.

Thinking of the arrangements she had made these days, Concubine Hua curled her lips into a wicked smile.

Just as Concubine Hua had expected, Jiang Fuhai went to the Yangxin Palace with the news that Noble Lady Fucha had miscarried but didn't find anyone there. He then went to the Suiyuxuan. He didn't want to bring this bad luck, but the Empress had ordered that the Emperor must be informed as soon as possible, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the joyous Suiyuxuan.

When the servants of Suiyuxuan saw the eunuch beside the queen, they were confused for a moment, and Xiao Yunzi could only lead Jiang Fuhai inside.

Xiao Yunzi had just been promoted to the managing eunuch of Suiyuxuan, and he was very excited. Now his mistress was having a love affair with the emperor in there, and he really felt that Jiang Fuhai was quite unlucky.

Jiang Fuhai saw the atmosphere in Suiyuxuan and thought about what he was going to say later, and he felt unlucky.

"Your Majesty, My Lady, Eunuch Jiang from Jingren Palace is here." Xiao Yunzi reported at the door.

When Zhen Huan heard Xiao Yunzi's report, she quickly got down from the table. It was really inappropriate to talk to the emperor in such a way, and she must not let others see it.

The emperor was interrupted in the middle of his flirting and felt a little unhappy, but thinking that the queen was not a person who did not know the overall situation, he could only suppress his mood and let Jiang Fuhai in.

"Your Majesty, the Queen asked me to tell you that Noble Lady Fucha had a miscarriage."

After these words were spoken, Yongzheng's happiness in holding his beauty was reduced by half, but when he thought of the report submitted by the Imperial Observatory after observing the celestial phenomena at night a few days ago, his sadness was also reduced a little.

A few days ago, the head of the Imperial Observatory, the one who observed the celestial phenomena and said that Noble Lady Fucha was pregnant with a boy, said that the stars were shifting, the main star of the Southern Dipper was tending to go north, and the main star of the Northern Dipper was tending to go south. Perhaps a noble in the palace was wronged and angered the heavens, causing changes in the celestial phenomena.

Yongzheng kept the news secret and even the empress dowager did not reveal a single word about it.

Yongzheng, who said he didn't believe in the celestial phenomena, thought it was a good thing to put Concubine Shen under house arrest. At least no one would keep an eye on the prince in her belly.

"I'm going to see Noble Lady Fucha. I'll come see you later."

The ambiguous atmosphere between Yongzheng and Zhen Huan disappeared completely.

"I will go with His Majesty to see how Sister Fucha is doing."

When Zhen Huan heard the news that Noble Lady Fucha had miscarried, she instinctively felt that this was not an accident and wanted to go to the scene to see what was going on.

Ever since Concubine Shen and Concubine Xin were placed under house arrest, she and Ling Rong had rarely met each other out of consideration for the eyes of the people around them. When she found out about the purslane, she only had a vague idea about it.

"Okay, let's go." Yongzheng felt that his Huanhuan was really gentle and considerate, just like Chunyuan back then, as kind and friendly to the six palaces.

Yongzheng and Zhen Huan arrived at the Yanxi Palace. There was a strong smell of blood in the Tiyuan Hall. Zhen Huan couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose when she went in. Seeing An Lingrong was also there, the two looked at each other without saying a word.

The Empress Dowager had already been sitting in the Yanxi Palace waiting for the Imperial Concubine to conceive. By the time Yongzheng arrived, the child had already been miscarried.

"It's useless. This place smells of blood. The emperor should return to the Yangxin Palace as soon as possible to review memorials."

When Yongzheng saw Noble Lady Fucha sleeping in the inner room, her face pale with beads of sweat on her face, he felt sorry for her and was unwilling to leave.

Let Jiang Cheng answer.

Jiang Cheng said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Fucha accidentally ate purslane some time ago, which caused her pregnancy to be unstable, but it has recovered after these days of conditioning. Now Concubine Fucha has miscarried, and I feel that it is because Concubine Fucha herself is weak and it is not easy to keep the pregnancy."

"Isn't it because of purslane?"

It happened that Zhang Mi was sick at home these days, and it was Jiang Cheng who took Fu Cha Guiren's pulse.

"Yes, I checked the files. Lady Fucha didn't eat many wontons that day. The amount of purslane was very small. It wouldn't be a big deal if a healthy person accidentally ate a little. The main reason is that Lady Fucha is weak."

"I also remember that Noble Lady Fucha only ate one wonton and then started complaining about her stomachache." An Lingrong spoke as if she recalled something.

"In this case, even if Noble Lady Fucha is useless, we cannot blame others." Yongzheng twirled the jade beads in his hand.

"Purslane grows well in spring nowadays, and it is common for the imperial kitchen to pick some to use as stuffing. I also ate dumplings stuffed with purslane from the imperial kitchen a few days ago, and they tasted very delicious. I wonder if the emperor has tried it?" Zhen Huan asked the emperor as if she was talking about daily matters.

"Since the nobles of Wan said so, I must try it."

An Lingrong noticed Yongzheng's kind attitude towards Zhen Huan. Not only An Lingrong, but also the Queen and Concubine Qi noticed it.

Everyone felt sympathetic. Seeing that Zhen Huan was so doted on even before she slept with him, they felt jealous.

This harem is really ironic. There is a noble lady lying inside who just had a miscarriage, but outside, the emperor is already being friendly to his new favorite concubine.

It's true that you only see the new people laughing, but never hear the old people crying.

There was a hint of bitterness in the smile on the queen's face.

Concubine Jing just walked in at this time.

Behind him, two guards wearing yellow brocade robes and carrying swords were escorting a young eunuch.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

"Get up. Concubine Jing, do you have something to report?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I caught a young eunuch sneaking around the entrance of Cunju Hall in my palace, so I ordered the imperial guards to arrest him. After searching him, they found that he was carrying arsenic. I am worried about Concubine Shen's pregnancy, so I dare not be careless and come to report this."

"Bring it up." The string of beads in Yongzheng's hand paused for a moment.

Zhu Ting's murderous intention rose. The Queen Mother knew her son's temper.
