She lowered her head and said nothing more, but the murderous intent in her eyes could not be concealed.

She could have denied that the porcelain vase was hers, but her good father personally confirmed her guilt!

She bit her thin lips tightly and let the blood fill her mouth.

At this time, Emperor Sheng An had already supported Concubine Zhan and walked in front of the group. He said in a cold voice: "Zhongyong Prince, I want to severely punish Xinya. Do you have any objection?"

King Zhongyong clenched his fists tightly and said, "No, but I leave it to my brother to decide!"

Princess Xinya trembled all over, and tears of grievance quickly flowed out.

In the past, she had her mother to protect her!

But now her mother is dead, and her father no longer cares about her at all!

If that’s the case, what’s the point of living?

Come on, let's destroy it together!

She bit her lip hard, and the blood in her throat made her eyes look ferocious.

Emperor Sheng An said coldly, "Princess Xinya is perverse and vicious. From now on, her title of princess will be stripped away. She will be sent to the Imperial Temple to cultivate her virtues and never leave the temple for the rest of her life!"

Prince Zhongyong glared at Princess Xinya and said, "Why don't you thank your uncle the Emperor for sparing your life?"

Princess Xinya said sweetly, "Thank you, Uncle Emperor. Xinya kowtows to you!"

She knelt on the ground respectfully and bowed deeply.

Emperor Sheng An spoke without hesitation: "You should thank the Imperial Concubine. If she hadn't pleaded for you, I would have killed you based on your sins!"

Xinya nodded and knelt down at Concubine Zhan's feet.

The moment she saw her kneeling there, Lin Yiwan's back suddenly sank.

She grabbed Zhan Yan's sleeve and whispered, "She's going to cause trouble. Will you save the concubine?"

Zhan Yan frowned and spat out two words: "No rescue!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xinya, who was supposed to kowtow, suddenly slammed into Concubine Zhan's stomach.

"Bang!" Both of them fell to the ground.

Xinya was like a madman, madly raising her fist and smashing it into Concubine Zhan's stomach: "I'm going to kill you, bitch, why don't you die? Why don't you die?"

Concubine Zhan's face turned pale with pain, and she screamed: "Help, help, save me!"

Emperor Sheng'an was actually not as quick as King Zhongyong in reacting. He rushed over quickly and kicked Xinya far away.

She climbed up, blood oozing from the corners of her lips. She threw her head back and laughed heartily: "You can't get it, you can't get anything!"

King Zhongyong was terrified. He quickly shouted, "Someone, shut her mouth!"

Several guards rushed over and stuffed Xinya's mouth with brocade cloth, making her unable to make any sound.

At this time, Concubine Zhan was already wailing: "Your Majesty, my stomach hurts so much!"

Before Emperor Sheng An could even open his mouth, Prince Zhongyong had already called out, "Imperial Physician, hurry up and help the Imperial Concubine with her pregnancy!"

The imperial physician stepped forward quickly and pushed Emperor Sheng An so hard that he had no place to stand.

He frowned and turned to look at Xin Ya, who was in a dishevel, and Zhan Yan, who had a cold expression, as if he suddenly understood something.

He quickly rushed to Zhan Yan, grabbed his wrist and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Zhan Yan didn't answer but asked, "Do you think this is a place for conversation?"

Emperor Sheng An was full of questions at the moment, but he also understood that there were many people and many eyes.

In addition, Concubine Zhan, who was in unbearable pain, kept groaning and shouting: "Your Majesty, please come and see me!"

He shook his sleeves vigorously and then came in front of Concubine Zhan.

He no longer showed the same loving care as before, but instead said with a sullen face, "Lord Zhongyong, you have saved the imperial concubine one after another today. What do you think I should reward you with?"

King Zhongyong replied absentmindedly, "I don't want any reward. It was my daughter who harmed the concubine. I feel so ashamed of my brother!"

When Emperor Sheng An heard the word "regretful", he felt it was extremely ironic.

The imperial physician tried everything but failed to relieve Concubine Zhan's pain.

In just a moment, blood began to seep out from under her skirt.

Prince Zhongyong's pupils contracted violently, and he pleaded urgently, "Royal brother, the imperial physician's method is useless. Isn't the Marquis's wife an excellent doctor? Please quickly ask her to stop the bleeding and protect the fetus!"

Emperor Sheng An frowned, and then heard Concubine Zhan's trembling voice say, "Your Majesty, please find a way to save our child. He was not easy to come by!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Sheng An clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves.

He said in a serious tone: "Madam Hou, come here and show it to the imperial concubine!"

Lin Yiwan slowly moved in front of Emperor Sheng An and felt his death gaze deeply.

She was really scared to death!

Oh my god, can you please let her disappear right where she is?

She wasn't the one who planted the grassland on his head, so why was he glaring at her like that!

She was about to check on Concubine Zhan's injuries when she heard King Zhongyong speak softly beside her: "Madam, you must do your best. Concubine Zhan is the Marquis's biological sister. Only when she is well can you all be well!"

Lin Yiwan was so angry that she almost laughed. How fierce was King Zhongyong?

He made such harsh remarks at this time, was he afraid that Emperor Sheng An would not be suspicious?

Obviously, King Chungyong also realized that his words were somewhat inappropriate.

He explained anxiously: "Brother, I just want to make amends for Xinya's mistakes!"

Emperor Sheng An spoke meaningfully: "Now that things have come to this, I'm afraid some mistakes can no longer be made up for!"

Lin Yiwan didn't care what the two of them were talking about. She had to first see what was going on with Concubine Zhan.

She reached out to check her pulse, but she grabbed it tightly. She gasped and said, "No matter what, you must protect this baby of mine. I finally have a child, and I can't let it be destroyed in your hands!"

Lin Yiwan raised an eyebrow: "How come it was ruined in my hands? Wasn't it Xinya who pushed you?"

Concubine Zhan was playing dirty: "I don't care, as long as you can't save me, you are the culprit, my eldest brother will also have a grudge against you, and we, the Zhan family, will all blame you!"

Lin Yiwan thought to herself, your elder brother wouldn’t do that!

He absolutely doesn't want you to give birth to this child conceived in an affair, as that would plunge the entire Zhan family into an irretrievable situation.

She said seriously, "My Lady, I really can't help you with your pregnancy and stop the bleeding because you're so badly injured!"

Concubine Zhan shook her head vigorously: "Impossible, Lin Yiwan, you did it on purpose. You don't want to save me at all. Why can you give the Queen the pregnancy-protecting pills but not me?"

She howled so loudly that even the loyal and brave king who had retreated to the pavilion could hear it clearly.

He rushed to the emperor in one swift step, gritting his teeth and saying, "Royal brother, quickly send someone to ask the queen for the pregnancy-protecting pills. You can't just ignore the life and death of the imperial concubine!"

Emperor Sheng'an's gloomy gaze suddenly fell on him: "I have already said that Xinya will be severely punished for this matter. It has nothing to do with you. Why are you jumping around so much? You value the imperial concubine so much, and if someone doesn't know, they might think she is pregnant with your child!"
