Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

By this time, Concubine Xue was already trembling with fear.

But she relied on the fact that she was pregnant with the dragon heir and gritted her teeth and refused to admit it, instead insisting that someone had framed her.

His Majesty the Emperor did not refute her, but only asked her: "You keep saying that someone is framing you. What can you gain from framing you?"

Concubine Xue was stunned for a moment, and then she cried aggrievedly.

"I was walking in the Imperial Garden a few days ago and heard the palace maids gossiping that His Majesty already had three heirs of the rank of prince, so there was no shortage of heirs. My child was dispensable..."

"I don't believe it. After all, this is your Majesty's flesh and blood. How could your Majesty not value this child?"

"But today...someone wants to use the Princess's pregnancy to frame me!"

"The person behind this must be planning to kill two birds with one stone. He wants to make the princess have an abortion and then put the blame on me so that they won't have any obstacles when entering the palace..."

It must be said that although Concubine Xue was somewhat courageous, she was only a little clever.

The words were said so bluntly, the only thing missing was directly saying that it was the princes and ministers who wanted to send their daughters to the palace who did it.

They tried their best to stuff people into the palace, and they also wanted Concubine Xue to lose her bloodline, and at the same time they wanted Prince Zhong, the heir to the emperor, to have no children...

The emperor nodded slightly: "I remember that you haven't seen anyone from outside recently. Where did you hear that the previous dynasty wanted to put people in the harem?"

"How did you first come up with the idea that someone had framed Sect Master Xiao and wanted her to have an abortion, and then framed you?"

"Was today's meal prepared in the imperial kitchen or in your small kitchen? Who bought it? Who cooked it? Who washed it? Who delivered it? And who took out this bowl..."

"Chen Shuo, take all the servants in this yard, big and small, to the Ministry of Punishment for a thorough investigation."

"I want to know the truth."

The Ministry of Punishment?!

Once you enter that place, how many people can come out safe and sound? !
At least half your life will be lost!

The palace maids and nannies in the room were so frightened that they turned pale and cried and begged Concubine Xue to save their lives.

The guard named Chen Shu took everyone away swiftly.

Concubine Xue knelt on the ground with a pale face, her voice trembling: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."

His Majesty the Emperor looked at Concubine Xue calmly: "Why? Have you thought of something and are you ready to tell me the truth?"

Concubine Xue bit her tongue. The severe pain made her sober up and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

"I don't know anything!"

As long as she refuses to admit it, no one can force her to admit it.

After all, she is pregnant with the heir to the throne, so how could these people force her to confess? !
The Emperor did not bother to ask, but only asked Zhao Zhi: "How is the second son's wife?"

Zhao Zhi replied: "The poisoning is not serious. Take the antidote. In the next few days, you just need to be careful and take care of yourself."

His Majesty the Emperor nodded and said, "From now on, you don't have to go to Pingxi Army. You can be responsible for taking care of Princess Zhong."

"Yes!" This was the reason why Zhao Zhi came back.

After receiving the order from His Majesty the Emperor, Zhao Zhi and Xiao Huaniang accompanied Xiao Luoyi out of the palace.

After everyone left, the Emperor issued an order: "Noble Lady Xue was too frightened. From today on, Yilan Pavilion is sealed off. She is not allowed to leave without permission until she safely gives birth to an heir."

"There is no need to interrogate the people who served in Yilan Pavilion before. They will be beaten to death."

With just a few words, His Majesty the Emperor killed all the people in Yilan Pavilion.

Concubine Xue was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, unable to move.

In the past, she thought that there must be evidence for murder, but it was not until this moment that she realized that the emperor could kill people based on his mood.

After hearing what the Emperor said, the chief eunuch quietly transferred four strong maids to the palace, claiming that they were protecting Concubine Xue, but in fact they were imprisoning her.

Concubine Xue was in a state of panic, unable to eat or sleep. The leader, Madam Wu, tried to persuade her in a cold voice.

"If Empress Xue still wants to live, you'd better eat well and sleep well. Only if you give birth to a royal heir safely will you have a chance to live."

Concubine Xue naturally knew that what she said was the truth. She dared not argue anymore and just ate and slept obediently.

This is a later story, let's not talk about her. Xiao Luoyi didn't expect that Chen Huaijin would actually wait outside the palace gate.

He was originally worried that something might happen to Zhao Zhi, and he would not be able to explain to his eldest brother after returning to Pingxi Army.

But who knew that Zhao Zhi was fine, but Xiao Luoyi was sent out of the palace in a sedan chair with a pale face.

When they met each other's eyes, Chen Huaijin's eyes were full of shock and worry: How did Xiao Luoyi enter the palace? And it looked like something happened?

He looked at Xiao Luoyi with doubt and worry.

Xiao Luoyi gave him a look: Let's talk about it when we get home.

Chen Huaijin actually understood and nodded immediately. After Xiao Luoyi, Zhao Zhi and Xiao Huaniang got in the car, he drove them home.

As soon as he returned home, Xiao Luoyi was ordered to stay in bed and rest.

Xiao Luoyi didn't want to be hard on her body, so she went back to her room and lay down.

When Chen Huaijin saw Xiao Luoyi lying down, he also left the room directly.

Xiao Huaniang watched Prince Zhong leave, very puzzled: "Prince Zhong used to care about you so much, why is it that now... even though you are like this, he doesn't protect you?"

"Not worried about you and the child at all?"

Xiao Luoyi lay on the bed, looked at the curtain and sighed, not wanting to answer this question.

Yunying pulled Xiao Huaniang aside and whispered the whole story to her, asking her not to say the wrong thing again.

Xiao Huaniang's eyes widened when she heard this. After hearing the whole story, when she looked at Xiao Luoyi again, she was filled with heartache and pity.

"He just forgot. It will be fine when he remembers it." Xiao Huaniang comforted.

Xiao Luoyi had adjusted her mood and chuckled: "It's okay, I think so too. Nothing is more important than children now."

Zhao Zhi has gone to boil the medicine. The pregnancy-maintaining medicine must be taken for a few days.

When the hot, dark medicine soup was brought in, Xiao Luoyi frowned.

The medicine smelled bitter and she didn't want to drink it.

"Can I not drink it?" Xiao Luoyi asked Zhao Zhi tentatively.

Zhao Zhi looked cold and hard, like a strict teacher: "No! You must drink this!"

Xiao Luoyi had a bitter face, but thinking of the child, she gritted her teeth and took it.

At this moment, the light dimmed and a person came in. It was Chen Huaijin.

Chen Huaijin looked at Xiao Luoyi lying on the bed and the medicine bowl in her hand, and paused: "Are you... okay?"

"Not bad." Xiao Luoyi agreed and glanced at Chen Huaijin.

This guy is sitting one meter away from the bed!

If it were in the past, he would definitely sit by the bed, take the medicine bowl, and feed himself the medicine.

But there are no ifs in the world.

I really want to beat him up!

Forget it, since no one cares about me, I’ll just care about myself!

Xiao Luoyi sighed silently, took out a drinking contest posture, and drank the medicine in one gulp.

Xiao Huaniang was very tactful and stuffed a candied plum into her mouth.

Only then did Xiao Luoyi recover.

Xiao Huaniang pulled Yunying's arm and quietly left the room, leaving the space to Chen Huaijin and Xiao Luoyi.

Then, Chen Huaijin clenched his fists and placed them on his thighs, sitting upright on the stool with his back straight, looking serious and nervous.

Xiao Luoyi felt a toothache when she saw this: This posture doesn't look like he's coming to see the lady, but more like he's going to court!

The room fell silent again. (End of this chapter)
