A Crossover of Film and Television: Miao Miao's Life Transmigration
Chapter 30 The Legend of Zhen Huan: Su Yunyi 29
Su Yunyi couldn't let Yixiu escape unscathed, so she decided to expose Yixiu. Although the Emperor wouldn't easily depose the Empress, people's trust could be eroded.
Consort Li is a good pawn. She is Nian Shilan's person, so having her speak on Nian Shilan's behalf is a good choice.
So Su Yunyi used psychological suggestion.
Consort Li naturally spoke up for Nian Shilan: "Your Majesty, I think Consort Wan is also at fault."
The Emperor looked over, and Consort Li continued, "When Consort Nian punished Consort Wan, she gave Consort Wan a chance to admit her mistake. Unexpectedly, Consort Wan was proud and arrogant and refused to admit her mistake. That's why Consort Hua made Consort Wan kneel as punishment. If Consort Wan had given in back then, Consort Nian, being a mother herself, would naturally not have held it against Consort Wan. In my opinion, Consort Wan really doesn't care about her child at all."
Consort Cao added, "Yes, Consort Nian had already given Consort Wan a chance to admit her mistake, but Consort Wan didn't care about her child at all and insisted that she was right."
Nian Shilan retorted, "Yes, Your Majesty knows that I have a bad temper. Consort Wan was provoking me with every word. I only acted rashly because I was in a hurry."
Zhen Huan said in disbelief, "Your Majesty, how could I not think of the child? If it weren't for Consort Nian's constant threats to punish me, I wouldn't have lost this child."
After Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan had a heated argument, Su Yunyi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I feel there is something fishy about this matter. Logically speaking, Consort Wan is in good health and should not have miscarried after kneeling for half an hour."
The Emperor scrutinized Su Yunyi, and upon seeing her sickly face, coldly said, "Strange?"
Yi Xiu was shocked for a moment, but quickly calmed down. She hadn't done it herself, and she doubted he would dare say anything.
Zhang Mi, standing to the side, trembled; he knew he was finished.
Su Yunyi glanced at Yixiu and Zhang Mi, who had her head down, and continued, "Yes, even Consort Tian, who was bumped, is resting and recuperating, but Consort Wan, who has always been in good health, has miscarried. Perhaps His Majesty should summon a few more imperial physicians to take a look."
The Emperor frowned and glanced at Su Peisheng, who then quickly walked out.
While waiting for the imperial physician, the people in the room remained silent.
The imperial physicians arrived quickly, including Physician Chen. After examining Zhen Huan's pulse, they looked at each other, and finally an older physician stepped forward and said, "Your Highness has recently come into contact with something that has caused a large amount of musk in your body, leading to the miscarriage."
While waiting for the imperial physician, An Lingrong trembled all over, her muscles shaking uncontrollably. She knew she was doomed and could only hope that the imperial physician hadn't found anything.
Zhen Huan was shocked when she heard this. She had been very careful, but now such a harmful thing had appeared. Thinking of the musk under the golden osmanthus in Suiyu Pavilion, she felt extremely distressed.
Upon hearing the imperial physician's words, the emperor looked at Zhang Mi with a cold glint in his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Find them, find those harmful things."
The imperial physician examined all of Zhen Huan's belongings but found nothing wrong. He then said seriously, "I wonder if Your Highness has been in frequent contact with anything lately."
Huanbi asked, "Has Your Highness used anything else recently?"
Liu Zhu added: "Some time ago, my lord injured his neck and used the scar-reducing gel that my lord gave me."
When An Lingrong heard Liu Zhu mention the scar-reducing gel, her body stiffened and her lips became dry. She knew she couldn't escape this calamity and only hoped not to implicate her family.
The imperial physician examined the scar-reducing gel that Huanbi had brought out and was shocked. He realized he had been caught up in the power struggles of the inner palace. Panicked and flustered, he broke out in a cold sweat and said, "This... scar-reducing gel contains a large amount of musk."
Upon hearing the imperial physician's words, Zhen Huan trembled with anger, her eyes widening as she exclaimed, "How could this be?"
Shen Meizhuang shouted, "I never expected you to be this kind of person! I beg Your Majesty to investigate the truth. We cannot let Consort Wan's child die without knowing why!" As she spoke, Shen Meizhuang knelt down.
The Emperor, his face contorted with anger and stern with an unspoken authority, said, "Throw Consort An into the Cold Palace and order her to commit suicide. Exile Consort An to Lingnan."
As An Lingrong was being escorted by eunuchs, she heard the Emperor announce the exile of the An family. She raised her head, looked at the Emperor, and cried as she begged for mercy, kowtowing repeatedly: "Your Majesty, you must take full responsibility for your actions. Please, Your Majesty, do not implicate my family. Please spare my family!"
The Emperor remained expressionless. Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang did not remain silent, and the other concubines did not speak. The Emperor ordered An Lingrong to be dragged away.
Seeing that it was no use, An Lingrong struggled to crawl toward the Empress. With a heavy heart, she looked at the Empress and cried sincerely, "Your Majesty, I have only been following your orders. The ingredients for the scar-reducing cream are precious. How could I, the daughter of a minor official, possess such precious materials? Your Majesty, please save my family!"
Su Yunyi was watching the play, but the Emperor's attention was not on her. The focus of attention had shifted from Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan to Yixiu and An Lingrong.
The newly arrived concubines all looked at the Empress in shock. The old men of the mansion all knew that Yixiu was not a good person, yet she was still able to remain calm at this moment.
Upon hearing An Lingrong's words, the Emperor looked at Yixiu.
Yixiu immediately knelt down and said, "I'm innocent! As the Empress, how could I do such a thing? Your Majesty, you must believe me. If my sister were here, she would definitely believe me..."
The emperor could not easily depose the empress. He had only been on the throne for a few years, and deposing her would easily cause turmoil in the court.
The Emperor waved his hand, ordering someone to drag An Lingrong away, and added, "The Empress has worked hard managing the harem. She should rest for a while. If there's nothing else, she can rest well in Jingren Palace. Let Consort Nian, Consort Yi, and Consort Jing manage the harem together!"
Yixiu's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Your Majesty..."
Zhen Huan was very dissatisfied with the Emperor's punishment of the Empress, Consort Nian, and An Lingrong, and she began to harbor resentment towards the Emperor.
If the Emperor had returned sooner, her child could have been saved. Now that her child is gone, the Emperor's punishment for the Empress was merely confinement, and Nian Shilan received no punishment at all. It was normal for An Lingrong to be executed, but the real murderer is still at large. Doesn't the Emperor care about his own child?
The Emperor dismissed the servants, intending to comfort Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan was furious at this moment. The rational Zhen Huan of the past had disappeared, and she directly asked the Emperor why he did not execute the Empress.
The Emperor was stunned by Zhen Huan's words. He felt that Zhen Huan was really ignorant. He would not execute an Empress for the sake of an unborn child.
The Emperor wanted Zhen Huan to calm down, but seeing that Zhen Huan was completely different from her usual self, the Emperor's face showed impatience.
Seeing Zhen Huan, who kept repeating her madness and telling the Emperor to execute the Empress, the Emperor suddenly became furious. He felt that Zhen Huan was ignorant of the bigger picture and had nothing in common with Chun Yuan. He coldly said, "Calm down."
Then, the emperor left without showing any mercy.
