Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 914

"Yue'er is pregnant!" Madam Yun shared the letter with her; it was a letter from Yunnan Sheng.

The Empress Dowager's expression changed slightly after reading it, because the whole page was full of care for Madam Yun, and only at the end did she mention that Yun Xiyue was pregnant.

"That's great news! Are they on their way back now?"

Madam Yun laughed and said, "That's right! That's right!"

The Empress Dowager wanted to go and pay homage to her ancestors.

"Then I won't go. I'll stay at Funing Palace and look after the children."

The Empress Dowager nodded. "Very well."

Then I asked Granny Chen to prepare.

At this moment, in Yongning Palace.

Qi Yumin was eating when she suddenly felt a stomachache. "Ah... Granny, my stomach hurts..."

"Quickly, help the Empress into the house."

Granny Su was extremely anxious. Her flowerpot-soled shoes made a series of rapid and chaotic sounds on the stone pavement, as if they were coming from the Yongning Palace.

Her hair, which was usually always neatly combed and perfectly styled, was now loose, with a few strands of hair soaked with sweat, clinging messily to her temples and trembling slightly with her movements.

She ran all the way, her clothes fluttering wildly in the wind, and entered the Funing Palace. Before she could even catch her breath, she knelt straight down on the ground with a "thump".

The exquisite headdress tilted to one side as she knelt, but she didn't bother to straighten it. She gripped the hem of her dress tightly with both hands, her knuckles turning white from the force.

"What's wrong?" The Empress Dowager was just about to get up and go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple!

She was startled when she suddenly came in.

Granny Su looked up, her face filled with fear and anxiety, large beads of sweat sliding down her cheeks. She said, "Your Majesty, Consort De is about to give birth! Consort De is writhing in pain on the bed, her face as white as paper, and her sweat has soaked most of the bedding. The midwives are all on standby, and the midwives are busy as bees, but Consort De's condition is extremely dangerous. I am so afraid that I have come to report to Your Majesty."

"It seems that someone poisoned her food. After eating, Consort De suddenly complained of stomach pain and started bleeding."

"This servant dares not delay, and has already sent someone to fetch the imperial physician."

After speaking, she slammed her forehead heavily to the ground, her body trembling slightly like a withered leaf in the wind, waiting quietly for the Empress Dowager's decree, not daring to utter a sound.

After all, it was because she had been taking care of Consort De that such a mistake occurred.

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's expression changed drastically. She abruptly stood up from her throne, her hands unconsciously gripping the armrests tightly, her fingertips turning slightly white from the force.

She took a deep breath, trying her best to calm herself down, and said in a deep voice, "Prepare the carriage for Yongning Palace. I want to see what's going on!"

In the Empress Dowager's heart, Consort De's child was the Emperor's.

Madam Yun also thought so.

Because no one believed what Murong Yu said.

The group hurriedly left Funing Palace. The Empress Dowager's phoenix carriage sped along the palace road, and the palace maids and eunuchs looked nervous, their steps hurried, and their clothes fluttered in the wind.

The Empress Dowager sat in the phoenix carriage, her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with worry and anger.

She kept thinking about who would be so bold as to target Consort De in the palace. If anything happened to Consort De or the prince in her womb, it would surely cause a huge uproar in the palace.

Before long, Yongning Palace came into view.

The Empress Dowager alighted from her imperial carriage and strode into the palace. She immediately saw Consort De lying on the bed, writhing in agony.

Qi Yumin's hair was disheveled, her face was deathly pale, and she could only groan in pain. When she saw the Empress Dowager, she cried out, "Save my child... Empress Dowager..."

The Empress Dowager's heart clenched. She quickly walked to Consort De's bedside, took her hand, and whispered, "Consort De, I'm here. Please hold on. Don't be afraid, the child will definitely be alright."
