The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

Chapter 101 Chapter 101 Xia Dongchun is poisoned

In the Qingyin Pavilion, with the actors' superb acting skills and passionate singing on the stage, a great show has been pushed to its most fascinating climax.

And in this small space, many unknown and wonderful performances are also being performed off the stage.

Xin Chang was leisurely cracking melon seeds, while Xia Dongchun was holding the peach blossom cake given by Concubine Qi in one hand, seemingly unaware that while the show on the stage was in full swing, the show offstage was also undercurrents.

Although the Queen, Concubine Qi and others maintained a decent smile on the surface, there was an elusive light flashing in their eyes.

I sat quietly by the side, my eyes darting between the crowd, trying to catch the sparks that were about to erupt.

Although I still don’t know what everyone is keeping in suspense, I can be sure that this is definitely not that simple.

Behind this seemingly peaceful gathering, there must be turbulent competition and calculations hidden.

Perhaps, in the next moment, a storm will sweep in and sweep us all into it.

"Ouch! Ouch! It hurts!"

Xia Dongchun's sudden scream was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the harmonious atmosphere in Qingyin Pavilion.

Everyone's eyes shifted away from the wonderful opera on the stage and turned to Xia Dongchun.

She covered her lower abdomen with her hands, her face was pale, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead. She looked extremely painful.

Seeing this, the Queen's expression instantly became solemn:

"Lady Xia, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly have a stomachache?"

"I...I don't know. It just hurts all of a sudden."

Her eyes were filled with fear and anxiety, fearing that there might be something wrong with the baby in her belly.

The Queen quickly gave the order:

"Quick! Call the imperial physician! Lady Xia's health cannot be harmed in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, the maids beside her responded quickly and ran out of the hall to summon the imperial physician.

The Queen continued to comfort Xia Dongchun:

"Lady Xia, don't worry. The imperial physician will be here soon. I will stay here with you and will ensure the safety of you and your child."

"Thank you, Queen. I will definitely hold on."

Xia Dongchun's face was full of pain and his lips were pale.

The queen gently patted the back of Xia Dongchun's hand to show encouragement and support.

At this moment, the atmosphere in Qingyin Pavilion had become extremely tense. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the arrival of the imperial physician and how this sudden incident would end.

......

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness be blessed with good fortune."

"What's going on? Why does Lady Xia have a stomachache? Is Long Si okay?"

Xia Dongchun was moved to the Yanx Palace where she lived. For a time, the Yanx Palace was bustling with activity, and all the concubines followed to show their concern.

When the emperor heard about this, he hurried over, with a look of worry and nervousness on his face. It was obvious that there had been no good news from the concubines in the palace for a long time, so he attached great importance to this child.

When the Queen saw the Emperor coming, she hurried to greet him, her voice filled with self-blame and guilt:

"I was delighted to learn that Concubine Xia was pregnant, so I wanted to celebrate with the entire palace. I invited all the concubines to attend an opera together, hoping to share in the joyous atmosphere. But who could have imagined that such an accident would occur? It is all my fault for not being able to protect Concubine Xia. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"How is Concubine Xia's child? Is he seriously injured?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has just examined the baby. Fortunately, the baby is fine. Fortunately, the baby was discovered in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

There was a hint of relief and gratitude in the Queen's tone, as if she was thanking God for her blessing.

Seeing this, Jianqiu on the side quickly spoke up for her master:

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Empress was extremely worried just now. When she heard that Concubine Xia had a stomachache, she immediately called the imperial physician and even stayed here in person, waiting for the doctor's news."

After hearing Jianqiu's words, the Queen pretended to wipe the sweat from her forehead, with a look of lingering fear on her face:

"My heart is in turmoil. I just hope that Lady Xia is safe and sound, and that the child is healthy."

After the emperor heard the imperial physician's confirmation that his child was safe, his furrowed brows finally relaxed slightly, and the worry on his face faded a bit. He turned to look at the queen, his tone filled with praise and comfort:

"The Queen is virtuous, I know that. This time, thanks to her quick response and the timely summoning of the imperial physician, a greater disaster was avoided."

"I have only done my duty, and I dare not claim any credit for it. However, Lady Xia has suddenly developed abdominal pain, and I am extremely worried. I wonder where the imperial physician is now? I would like to hear his detailed diagnosis."

Upon hearing this, the imperial physician stepped forward and bowed, saying:

"I am here. Your Majesty and Empress, Concubine Xia suffered from abdominal pain after accidentally ingesting something poisonous. Fortunately, she was discovered in time, and thanks to the full efforts of you and me, she was able to save the baby in her womb."

Upon hearing this, the emperor's expression darkened instantly, his eyes revealing a hint of severity and anger:

"Poisonous things? What on earth is going on? How could such a vicious thing happen in my harem?"

The Queen was also shocked. She quickly expressed her opinion:

"I held this banquet to celebrate Concubine Xia's pregnancy. How could something poisonous be present? This is simply unbelievable! As the mistress of the harem, I will never allow such a thing to happen in the harem. I will thoroughly investigate this matter, uncover the truth, and severely punish the murderer to serve as a warning to others!"

At this time, Concubine Qi was already trembling beside her.

......

In the east wing of the Summer, Dong and Chun Palace in the Yanxi Palace, flickering candlelight illuminates the warmth and tranquility of the bedroom.

However, this tranquility was in stark contrast to the tense atmosphere in the main hall.

At this moment, Xia Dongchun was lying weakly on the soft bed in the bedroom, surrounded by several attentive palace maids who served her carefully and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

At the same time, in the main hall, a serious interrogation was quietly taking place.

The emperor and the empress sat side by side, looking down from the center with serious and solemn expressions.

The concubines were lined up on both sides according to their rank and order. Their faces showed concern, curiosity, or indifference, but without exception, they were all quietly waiting for the outcome of the interrogation.

Only Concubine Qi was kneeling in the center, trembling, her face full of fear and helplessness.

In front of her was the plate of peach blossom cake that caused the commotion.

"Your Majesty, Empress, I really don't know what's going on..."

Tears glistened in Concubine Qi's eyes, and her voice was trembling and pleading.

"This plate of peach blossom cake was made by you personally and given to Lady Xia.

How could you not know about the miscarriage of Oleander? How could someone in the harem have such a vicious heart?
