Chapter 391: The Concubine Who Was Buried with the Emperor VS The Ruthless and Romantic Emperor 39
Emperor Jing hurriedly left Guanju Palace, feeling extremely anxious. He shouted as he walked, "Lu Xi, go get the imperial physician quickly. Summon all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to the Xinghua Palace."

He didn't care whether he was conspicuous or not. If anything happened to Yao'er and the baby in her belly, he would want to kill them.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Concubine Qin is blessed with great fortune. The doctor may have passed away by now. She will be fine."

Although Lu Xi knew that the imperial physician might have already passed away, he still asked someone to go to the Imperial Hospital.

The palace servants along the way saw the emperor in a hurry and with an anxious look on his face, and knew that something big had happened. They all knelt on the ground and saluted, not daring to make a sound, for fear of angering the emperor.

"How is Concubine Qin? Is her life in danger? How is the dragon fetus in her belly?"

As Emperor Jing hurried along, he asked Lu Xi beside him questions, looking anxious and worried.

Lu Xi ran out of breath, but still tried his best to answer: "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to invite the imperial physician. The specific situation is still unknown, but I saw that Xiao Qingzi, who came to report from Concubine Qin's palace, looked anxious, and I am afraid it is not light."

Emperor Jing frowned and prayed secretly in his heart that Yao'er and her child were safe and that nothing would happen to them.

Then, speed up your pace.

A side hall in Guanju Palace, where Concubine Shu lived.

The concubines from the harem who had come to visit Concubine Shu were naturally unwilling to stay here any longer after seeing that the emperor had left.

Each of them said a few words of concern to Concubine Shu, said hello to the Queen, and then left one after another.

Obviously, they all wanted to go to Xinghua Palace to watch the fun.

"I don't know who is so bold as to attack the dragon fetus."

"That's right. Concubine Qin is already over four months pregnant. I don't know if the dragon fetus can be saved."

"I heard that a lot of blood was lost. Can it be saved after all the bleeding? I'm afraid it's very uncertain."

Several concubines hurriedly left Guanju Palace, whispering to each other.

Concubine Lu and her maid Cuiwei followed behind, listening to the discussions, with a mixture of guilt and joy in her eyes.

But it was well concealed and not revealed.

After leaving Guanju Palace, Concubine Lu hurried to a secluded corner.

There was no one around.

Then he whispered to Cuiwei who was following behind him: "Cuiwei, is there any clue in this matter?"

Cuiwei quickly shook her head and replied nervously, "Don't worry, Madam. No one saw me when I went to look for Xiao Qingzi. Xiao Qingzi is also a cautious and reliable person. I don't think he will reveal any flaws."

Concubine Lu breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt a little uneasy in her heart, "This matter must not be leaked at all. If anything goes wrong, both your life and mine will be in danger."

Cuiwei quickly agreed with a serious look on her face.

Concubine Lu calmed herself down, looked in the direction of the Xinghua Palace, and secretly calculated what might happen next.

Once the truth comes out, she will be in dire straits.

She forced herself to remain calm, straightened her clothes, and quietly left this secret corner with Cuiwei, returning to Yingyue Palace as if nothing had happened.

"Cuiwei, send someone to the Xinghua Palace to inquire whether that bitch has lost her dragon fetus."

After returning to Yingyue Palace, Concubine Lu was still worried and whispered instructions to Cuiwei behind her.

"Yes, ma'am."

Cuiwei quickly agreed and then sent someone to inquire about the situation.

Xinghua Palace.

Yu Yao had been carried back, covered in blood, especially her skirt, which was stained red.

It looked horrifying, and anyone who saw it would think that the dragon fetus in her belly was going to die.

Of course the blood was fake. She secretly crushed the blood bag and deliberately smeared it on herself in order to make it look more realistic.

This would not only make Emperor Jing sad, but he could also use the fact that the dragon fetus was unstable to nurture the baby in the palace, thus avoiding the need to pay respects in Fengyi Palace.

Liuli didn't know the truth and thought that she had really dropped the empress, and she was extremely scared.

While praying silently, I hope the queen is fine and the dragon fetus in her belly is safe.

At the same time, he secretly regretted why he didn't persuade the Empress at the beginning.

He could find another opportunity to deal with Concubine Lu without having to take risks with himself and the dragon fetus.

When Amber saw the queen being carried back covered in blood, she was so frightened that she almost fainted.

Didn't we agree to fake a fall? How did it become real?
Nanny Zhang and Nanny Li were also very frightened. They quickly had the Empress carried into the house and then told someone to boil some hot water.

The entire Xinghua Palace was in chaos.

The imperial physician was brought over in a hurry. On the way, he had already found out the cause and knew that the matter was of no trivial importance.

"Don't be afraid, Madam. Let me take a look first."

The imperial physician put down his medicine box, took a handkerchief and placed it on Yu Yao's wrist, and began to diagnose and treat her.

"Thank you, the great doctor."

Yu Yao's face was pale, her hair was disheveled, sweat and blood were stuck to her face, and she spoke with a "weak" look.

Inwardly, he said to the system, "Tongtong, quickly change my pulse to show that my body is weak and the dragon fetus is unstable."

"understood."

The system yawned lazily, then changed her pulse.

Liuli and Amber watched nervously from the side. The doctor gently placed his fingers on Yu Yao's thin wrist, and his brows gradually furrowed.

The atmosphere in the room seemed to be frozen.

The imperial physician raised his head, his expression solemn, but he also did not forget to comfort her softly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best."

Yu Yao forced a smile, but there was an imperceptible cunning hidden in her smile. She said weakly, "Thank you, imperial physician. I have always been in good health. I didn't expect to fall off the sedan chair when I went out today."

The imperial physician knew that there must be some secret in the harem, so he did not dare to continue the conversation. He only said, "I will do my best to protect your majesty's dragon fetus. Your majesty, rest assured."

After a moment, he withdrew his hand with a serious expression.

"Doctor, how is my queen doing?"

Liuli asked hurriedly.

The imperial physician hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "Your Majesty's pulse is weak and your abdomen has been hit hard, which seems to be a sign of miscarriage. Fortunately, the fetus is already four months old and your Majesty is in good health. I will prescribe some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy. Your Majesty should drink it immediately and rest in bed."

As soon as the imperial physician finished speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Accompanied by the eunuchs shouting: "The emperor has arrived!"

When everyone in the Xinghua Palace heard this, they were all shocked, and they quickly tidied their appearance and knelt to welcome the emperor.

Yu Yao also tried hard to sit up straight, but her face was still pale and she looked pitiful.

Emperor Jing strode into the inner room with big strides, and his eyes fell on Yu Yao at the first moment.

Seeing her covered in blood and her face as pale as paper, endless anger and heartache suddenly surged in my heart.

At this moment, he wanted to kill someone and was in a violent mood, but he tried his best to endure it and show gentleness.

"Yao'er, what's wrong with you?"

There was a slight tremor in his voice, and he quickly stepped forward and hugged her gently.

Yu Yao leaned into Emperor Jing's arms and choked up, "I was incompetent and failed to protect the dragon fetus in my belly. I accidentally fell off the sedan chair. Fortunately, the imperial physician arrived in time, otherwise..."

She couldn't continue, afraid of bursting out laughing, so she could only use her sleeve to gently wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing's face darkened terribly. He looked at the imperial physician beside him and asked in a deep voice, "How is my beloved concubine?"

The imperial physician knelt down immediately and reported respectfully, "Your Majesty, your Majesty's pulse is weak and her abdomen is injured. She is indeed in danger of miscarriage, but fortunately, she was treated in time. I have prescribed a prescription for pregnancy protection. Your Majesty must take it immediately and rest in bed to ensure the safety of both mother and child."

"Go and boil the medicine immediately, and make sure to use the best medicinal materials!"

Emperor Jing ordered, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"Yes, I obey the order."

The imperial physician took the order and withdrew, secretly congratulating himself on his good medical skills, as he was able to stabilize the situation at this critical moment.

After the imperial physician left.

Emperor Jing gently stroked Yu Yao's back and said with heartache: "Don't be afraid, Yao'er. I am here and will never let anything happen to you or our child. You should recuperate in the palace and don't have to pay respects to Fengyi Palace. If anyone dares to object, I will deal with it myself."

The concubines who came to Xinghua Palace had different expressions when they saw this scene.

The emperor seemed to treat Concubine Qin differently. They had never seen such a gentle and caring look in his eyes before.

Everyone was secretly alert.

Yu Yao took in the expressions of the concubines present and frowned slightly. She looked up at Emperor Jing with gratitude in her eyes, "Thank you very much for your grace, Your Majesty. I will take good care of my pregnancy."

After she finished speaking, she looked annoyed again, weak but pitiful: "Your Majesty, I was fine when I went to Fengyi Palace to pay my respects, but why did I fail when I went out today? It's my fault that I didn't protect the child well. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

The concubines present looked at each other, all with expressions of vigilance and fear. They knew from what they heard that someone was trying to harm Concubine Qin.

They all looked nervous for fear that the dirty water would splash on them.

Emperor Jing frowned, but still comforted her distressedly: "How can this be blamed on you? My beloved concubine, don't blame yourself too much. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

After that, he turned to look at Lu Xi and said sternly: "Lu Xi, go and investigate this matter immediately. I want to see who is so bold as to lay hands on my dragon fetus."

The concubines present all looked nervous, and they all secretly guessed who had done it.

Lu Xi immediately knelt down and accepted the order, "I will obey your order and do my best to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Afterwards, he hurriedly withdrew and began to arrange the investigation.

Emperor Jing then gave stern instructions to Nanny Zhang and Nanny Li: "You two must take good care of Qin Zhaorong. If there is any mistake, I will not forgive you easily!"

"Yes, I obey your command." The two maids responded quickly.

The concubines present had different expressions. Qin Zhaorong? Was she promoted again? Or was she promoted to the third rank Zhaorong?
Ning Zhaoyi and Wen Zhaoyuan looked at each other and saw dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.

The two of them entered the Eastern Palace in their early years and served the emperor for many years, and only got their current positions after the emperor ascended the throne.

This Qin Guipin, no, Qin Zhaorong, was much better. She climbed to the third rank in just half a year. This speed was truly terrifying.

But considering that Qin Zhaorong almost lost her child, it was normal for the emperor to promote her and comfort her.

But I still feel uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, how can this be done?"

Yu Yao said in surprise.

She didn't expect that the dog emperor would promote her at this time.

With so many concubines present, wouldn't that make her hate you?
Emperor Jing naturally took in the expressions of the concubines present and frowned slightly.

He gently patted Yu Yao's hand and comforted her, "My beloved concubine is pregnant with the heir of the dragon, and has suffered this disaster. I promoted you to a higher position so that you can rest assured and take care of your pregnancy."
