The little fox is super pregnant, the heir-less boss is spoiling her like crazy

Jiang Shiyun watched the imperial physician's gaze and knew that her guess was correct. Concubine Wang's pregnancy had probably been unstable for a long time, and today was just a chance.

"Oh, if that's the case, then why did Concubine Wang start using mugwort fumigation to protect her pregnancy when she was only four months pregnant? As the imperial physician, shouldn't you explain this?"

These questions, one after another, were like a thousand-dollar stone, pressing directly on the imperial physician's heart. He was already sweating profusely, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly: "Your Majesty, the Empress, please understand. I have not lied a single word. As for the matter of the moxa fumigation, I truly did not know."

The imperial physician was also very nervous. He had indeed come to fumigate with mugwort this morning, but he had already told Concubine Wang to dispose of the things in time. Could it be that she didn't dispose of them?

At this point, he could only deny it to the death. If the emperor knew about this, Concubine Wang would have lost the baby and he would be finished.

Seeing the imperial physician deny this confusing account, the maidservant beside Concubine Wang breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to speak up, "Miss Jiang, there's no need to lie. Our young lady has never used mugwort fumigation. The imperial physician said that if it weren't for you, our young lady's pregnancy would have been safe and sound. I think you'd better confess your guilt as soon as possible."

The Queen clutched her chest, looking heartbroken, and scolded, "Miss Jiang, you are such a vicious woman. I was wrong about you and wanted to marry you off to my son."

As she spoke, the Queen turned and knelt before the Emperor, saying earnestly, "Your Majesty, it was my fault for not judging people. I didn't realize that Miss Jiang was such a person, and I even arranged her engagement with the Crown Prince. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me and allow me to correct my mistake promptly."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Concubine Li's eyes. The Queen, this old fox, probably felt that the young lady of the Jiang family was difficult to control and wanted to get rid of her.

She covered her face with a fan and said with a smile: "Empress, Miss Jiang has not yet pleaded guilty. Perhaps we have wronged her. Don't worry, why don't we ask Miss Jiang again whether she pleads guilty?" She didn't like Jiang Shiyun either, but if the Queen wanted to get rid of Jiang Shiyun, she could give Jiang Shiyun some help.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then asked, "Jiang Shiyun, do you plead guilty?"

“She can plead not guilty!”

A cold voice came from the door. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a dark figure coming out of the door.

Lou Jingyuan walked into the room. His gaze paused on the woman for a second. He saw that even though she was kneeling, she was trying hard to keep her back straight. She was indeed a stubborn person.

He first paid his respects to the Emperor and Empress, then called out to Xiao Liuzi, "Please bring in Concubine Wang and her maidservants."

Xiao Liuzi quickly responded, glanced at Jiang Shiyun secretly, and then went out.

After a while, Concubine Wang and her maids came in.

Concubine Wang lay on the stepping stone, her face pale and frail. The maidservant lowered her eyelids and bowed respectfully.

Jiang Shiyun was a little surprised. She didn't expect Lou Jingyuan to come. In her impression, Lou Jingyuan had always been polite and distant to her.

Perhaps caught off guard, Concubine Li was a little confused, while the Queen's face was completely dark. She then threw a teacup beside her directly at Lou Jingyuan's feet and shouted angrily: "How dare you treat the Emperor's concubines like this? Don't you want to live?"

The broken pieces of the teacup flew around Lou Jingyuan's feet. He stood still, not moving a step, his demeanor composed. "Your Majesty, please calm down. Why don't you listen to what Concubine Wang has to say first?"

At this moment, Concubine Wang felt as if her soul had been sucked out of her. She knelt helplessly on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, I can no longer save my child, but I am afraid of your blame, so I have resorted to this desperate measure. I sincerely believe this, and heaven and earth can bear witness. I beg Your Majesty to spare me."

Just now, Lou Jingyuan suddenly broke in with his men and said that the imperial physician had confessed. The emperor asked her if she had anything else to say.

Concubine Wang was completely desperate and confessed everything tremblingly. But when she finished speaking in the hall, she found that the situation was not what she had imagined.

Why do they all have expressions of shock and bewilderment on their faces?

A terrible guess formed in Lady Wang's mind. Could it be that the imperial physician had not confessed at all, and she was deceived by Lou Jingyuan.

"It's you, it's you, right?" Concubine Wang figured it all out. She suddenly turned and pounced on Lou Jingyuan, shouting at the top of her lungs, "You damn eunuch, you dog eunuch, you're the one who's hurting me, you're the one who's trying to hurt me, right?"

The Emperor frowned and spoke in a cold tone, "Concubine Wang has gone mad. She will be banished to the cold palace and will not be allowed to leave until she is dead. As for the maids around her, those who serve her personally will be executed, and the rest will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment. They will make their final decisions after they have convicted them."

Wang's face turned pale upon hearing this. She stopped making a fuss and looked at the emperor trembling all over. She knew that this was the end of it.

Jiang Shiyun suddenly remembered something and asked Wang: "If you have any hidden secrets, please tell me. I don't believe that you want to put the blame on me just because of these things. If..."

As he spoke, Jiang Shiyun's eyes fell on the Queen, and he continued meaningfully, "If you have any hidden secrets, or if someone is behind you, please tell us. Perhaps the Emperor will spare you. Who knows."

Wang stared at Jiang Shiyun with a look like a vicious snake, cold and cruel. Her eyes suddenly burst into tears and she pointed at Jiang Shiyun and laughed wildly, "Jiang Shiyun, I just can't stand you, I look down on you. I just hate you. In the past, you relied on your status to bully me at banquets many times. Now, I am a palace concubine and I am pregnant. But you are going to marry the prince, and I am gone. Why, why am I inferior to you in every way, why do you have everything you want? I don't accept it, I don't accept it..."

As she spoke, Wang grabbed a piece of broken porcelain from the side and thrust it directly into her neck. She looked at Jiang Shiyun with a sinister smile, her eyes filled with endless hatred, "You..."

As soon as the word came out, endless blood gushed out from her throat and mouth.

Concubine Li looked at the scene and sighed with pity, "Why did it have to be like this? What a pitiful person."

The Queen quietly observed the Emperor's expression, then looked at Jiang Shiyun, who was still kneeling on the ground. She stepped forward to support her and said softly, "My dear child, you have been wronged. It was I who was deceived by the treacherous people. Now that the place is in chaos, you should go back to the palace first."

Jiang Shiyun replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty." After leaving the palace, the smile on Jiang Shiyun's face disappeared, replaced by a cold look.

Cuizhu was so frightened that she barely managed to breathe. She grabbed Jiang Shiyun's hand and said tremblingly, "Miss, Miss, this is too scary."
