Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

The Empress Dowager's hand on Nanny Lin's arm tightened, and Nanny Lin quickly reached out to help the Empress Dowager calm down. Gu Qinghe's eyes also flashed with surprise.

"What's going on?" Gu Qinghe asked while holding the Empress Dowager's other arm.

"In reply to the Crown Princess, I didn't see it clearly just now. I only heard a scream and then Concubine Yun fell to the ground." The young eunuch replied while kneeling on the ground.

Gu Qinghe frowned when he heard this. Yun Zhaoyi was already six months pregnant, which was the time when the fetus was stable.

She looked at the guests present. The women from outside the palace were all listening with their ears perked up. The women in the Gu family were close by, so they could hear it clearly. Mrs. Bai looked at her daughter with worry on her face.

"Mother, let's stop here today. If something urgent happens, please come to the East Palace another day." Gu Qinghe smiled gently at Bai, indicating that she could rest assured.

"Everyone, it's getting late. The Empress Dowager is a little tired. Please do as you please." After Gu Qinghe finished speaking, he helped the Empress Dowager out.

The Crown Princess said that it was up to them to do as they pleased, but in fact she was ordering them to leave, and no one would really stay.

The old princess had basically achieved her goal today. Now that such a big thing had happened, she naturally didn't want to stay any longer. She supported Yunhua and led the way out.

The crowd dispersed in groups of three or five.

Gu Qinghe helped the Empress Dowager to the scene of the incident. There was blood on the ground, but less than expected. Yun Zhaoyi didn't dare to move at this moment. She covered herself with a cloak and waited for the imperial physician to come. However, it seemed that she couldn't stop crying for a while.

Next to her were Concubine Wu, who looked calm, and Concubine Li.

At this moment, there was no trace of arrogance on Concubine Li's face. When she saw the Crown Princess coming, she actually looked at her with a look of help.

The Empress Dowager sat down on the chair brought by the eunuch and waved her hand, "Crown Princess, you come and ask."

The Empress Dowager had never thought that after more than ten years, she would be able to judge a case because of the prince's concubine's bleeding, and on a day like today.

My good mood has almost been wiped out.

"Yes, Grandmother," Gu Qinghe replied, then turned to face the maidservant beside Yun Zhaoyi. "Can you tell me what's going on?"

There must be something fishy going on here. It's highly unlikely that Yun Zhaoyi staged this herself, because it wouldn't be worth it. The child in her belly is much more valuable than harming a concubine.

There is no need to take such a big risk to frame Concubine Li. After all, Concubine Li is the prince's biological mother, and she will not exchange her life for his.

Shaoyao, the maidservant who had been named, knelt on the ground, holding the tearful Yun Zhaoyi in her arms. "To answer the Crown Princess, I only saw Concubine Li come over to talk to Yun Zhaoyi. She was having some unpleasant things to say to our Zhaoyi. When our Zhaoyi tried to leave, Concubine Li reached out to stop her. Zhaoyi dodged to the side, got caught on a branch, and fell."

After listening to this conversation, it seems that Concubine Li is responsible, but the blame cannot be entirely placed on her alone.

Lady Wu watched from the side, her expression always indifferent, as if she was a complete bystander.

This was the first time that Gu Qinghe had to deal with such a matter. In Xiao Jingheng's previous life, the relationship between the people in the harem was relatively harmonious. Except for the fact that Ruan Liuzheng later always dragged Concubine Li, who became the empress dowager, to make trouble, there was no conflict.

However, she had a hunch that this beautiful lady Wu was not simple.

It's like a bad guy who did something bad and then came to enjoy the crime he committed.

While he was thinking, two imperial doctors came running over, panting, carrying medicine boxes. "Your humble servants pay their respects to the Empress Dowager and the Crown Princess."

"Come and take a look at Yun Zhaoyi." The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said.

"Yes." The two imperial doctors hurriedly put down their medicine boxes, took out silk handkerchiefs and began to take the patient's pulse. It was not enough for one doctor to finish the examination, so they checked both of them.

After exchanging opinions, he bent over and prepared to speak. When Gu Qinghe saw that the imperial physician looked calm, he knew that Yun Zhaoyi should be fine this time.

"Your Highness the Empress Dowager and the Crown Princess, Yun Zhaoyi has had a miscarriage. She will need to stay in bed and take medication to protect the fetus."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's expression softened, and Concubine Li also relaxed a lot, her shoulders drooping. She had been shrugging her shoulders in fear just now.

Gu Qinghe also breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, as a daughter-in-law, she would have lost the emperor's late son in her first banquet. That would have been a real commotion.

Maybe, there will be an imperial censor who will impeach me.

"Two imperial physicians, command the people to send Yun Zhaoyi back to the palace. No matter what the medicinal herbs are, just prescribe them," Gu Qinghe ordered. "Leave the peony."

"Yes, I will follow the Crown Princess's orders." The imperial physician said, and asked the eunuch to carry Yun Zhaoyi onto a stretcher and walked away slowly.

Concubine Wu and her servant, Concubine Li and her servant, as well as Yun Zhaoyi's maid Shaoyao, were left where they were, waiting for the Crown Princess's orders, which was nothing more than a face-to-face confrontation.

Concubine Wu felt very relaxed. She had just done nothing. She just said a few words to Concubine Li, and then Concubine Li went to quarrel with someone. It was not her fault, right?

Besides, the Crown Princess just now said endless compliments in front of her great aunt, and she did not dare to offend the Grand Princess's Mansion.

Another point, isn’t the Crown Princess at odds with Concubine Li?

Gu Qinghe's gaze swept over the people present. Concubine Li had become much more normal now. She was supporting Ping'er and even had time to adjust the hairpin on her head.

"Zhang Jinbao, take these three maids to three different rooms and have them tell us what their respective masters have done and who they have spoken to since arriving at the Imperial Garden. Be as detailed as possible."

"Yes." Zhang Jinbao replied.

The Empress Dowager looked at the Crown Princess and couldn't help but smile at her decisive look. Gu Qinghe was more capable of taking on responsibilities than when she was younger.

There was a moment of solemnity on Lady Wu's face, but then she returned to normal. She met the Crown Princess's gaze and nodded with a smile.

"Madam Wu, what do you see here?" Gu Qinghe asked calmly.

Concubine Wu hadn't expected the Crown Princess to be so direct, actually asking about her directly. She smiled and said, "To answer your question, Your Majesty, I was just feeling tired from sitting, so I came over and saw the two sisters arguing."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qinghe asked in a cold voice, "Lady Wu, how is your relationship with Concubine Li and Concubine Yun?"

"We are just good sisters, nothing special." said Lady Wu.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li snorted and was about to speak, "What good sisters——"

Gu Qinghe raised her hand to interrupt, "Empress Li, you haven't finished your question yet. Let's talk later."

When Concubine Li met the Crown Princess's gaze, she was shocked for a moment. She had only seen this look in the eyes of the late Queen.
