Chapter 268
At this moment, Wu Huiyun only felt that her heart was being twisted like a knife. Only at this moment could she clearly feel the pain in her heart.

It's not that she doesn't love her child, it's just that she doesn't know how to face the cruel future, and now, she is alone again.

"Huiyun, did Rui'er bully you? Tell the queen mother." The queen opened her mouth, and Wu Huiyun noticed that there were other people in the bedroom.

Turning his head slowly, he immediately saw that cold and handsome face.

The queen clearly noticed that Wu Huiyun's eyes were full of fear, she subconsciously pulled up the brocade quilt, avoiding Dongfang Rui's sight.

"No, no..." However, this tone made people feel that she had something to hide.

The queen took a deep breath, "Huiyun, you're doing well, why did you fall into the lake?"

Wu Huiyun had tears in the corners of her eyes, "My concubine... I just remember that someone pushed my concubine, so... woo..." She stretched out her hand to cover her face. If she knew that such a thing would happen and lose her child, she would I will not go to the lake.

The queen immediately remembered Xinlan's words, could it be that Yuanxiu really pushed it?

"Rui'er, take good care of Huiyun." The queen left such a sentence before turning around and striding away.

At this moment, Wu Huiyun actually felt a kind of depression before the storm came. She covered her stomach with one hand and buried her face in the bedding, but she still felt a sharp edge on her back.

Yun Shu just watched Wu Huiyun's reaction, it seemed that she was very afraid of the Second Highness.

Dongfang Rui quickly looked away from her and looked at Yunshu, "Master Yongji, haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing?"

There was light in his eyes, and for some reason, he felt very good when he looked at the woman in front of him.

At least, she is much more interesting than her concubine.

"Thank you, Second Highness, it's better to be more concerned about the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine conceived today, so she must be more careful in the next few days, and I hope that your highness will have some scruples." Yun Shu had already guessed the possible treatment Wu Huiyun might receive, The current impression of Dongfang Rui is even worse.

He is so cruel to his first wife, how can he expect to be kind to others.

Dongfang Rui didn't seem to understand the meaning of Yunshu's words. He just smiled and looked at Yunshu unscrupulously. This behavior made people feel unhappy, "Second Highness, the side concubine is still next door, Yunshu will leave first."

It wasn't until the slender figure left the bedroom that Dongfang Rui looked away.

The room fell into an eerie silence, Wu Huiyun hid in the bedding, but still felt that sharp gaze staring at her closely, causing a layer of cold sweat to gradually seep out of her body.

Suddenly, the quilt was lifted off, and the woman in the quilt screamed, but was grabbed by Dongfang Rui, tightly clasped her slender arms, half-closed her dangerous eyes, "You are quite capable, You’re already pregnant but haven’t mentioned it to the hall, huh? Now, what are you going to do?”

This voice was like an ice cellar, so Wu Huiyun couldn't say a word, but her face was pale.

"This... is not..."

Dongfang Rui's eyes slowly moved to the scar on her arm, then he snorted coldly, let go of her and strode away.

Wu Huiyun was the only one left in the bedroom, until the door slammed shut, followed by heart-piercing wailing.

And the other end.

"I am a concubine, see the empress..." Du Yuanxiu struggled to get up, but was stopped by the empress, "The side concubine is not feeling well, so please excuse me."

The queen looked at the still weak and gentle woman in front of her, and never believed that she would do such a thing.

However, now that the second imperial concubine is pregnant, there must always be an explanation.

"Prince and concubine, do you have anything to say to me about today's matter?"

Du Yuanxiu didn't understand what the queen meant, but still lowered her head, "I know my mistake."

What?Is she admitting that she did all this?The queen frowned tightly. If this is the case, then the crown prince and concubine must not be lenient. The people in the harem are already thin. If she does not punish severely, other concubines will follow suit, which will have a huge impact.

"Since that's the case, come here, and lock the crown prince's side concubine into the idle palace and wait for her to be dealt with."

Du Yuanxiu was taken aback, idle palace?Of course she knew where it was.It was a cold palace for concubines who made mistakes to reflect on themselves, but Du Yuanxiu didn't know why he was locked up in that place.

"Empress, concubine..." She just accidentally fell into the lake, why did she become like this, could it be... something happened to the younger siblings? "But what happened to the second imperial concubine?"

The queen looked at Du Yuanxiu's seemingly innocent face, "The second imperial concubine has given birth."

Pregnancy... Du Yuanxiu couldn't believe that such a thing would happen, but...

"Empress, why do you want to punish the concubine?" At this time, Yunshu's voice came from outside the door, and the empress turned her head, but sighed deeply, "Now that the second imperial concubine has conceived, This palace wants to give her an explanation to the Marquis of Changyuan."

"This matter is not the concubine's fault. I'm afraid such a punishment would be unfair." Yun Shu looked at the silent woman on the couch, and recalled Xiyue's smug eyes at that time, Yun Shu knew that this matter was settled. There is an inside story.

The queen knew that Yun Shu wanted to help Du Yuanxiu, and she didn't want to punish her, "How does County Master Yongji know that this was not done by the side concubine?"

Du Yuanxiu's eyes slowly moved to Yun Shu, there was obviously some confusion in those eyes.

"Return to the empress, because the side concubine is already pregnant for a month."

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a stone fell into a calm lake, but it stirred up a stormy sea.The queen's eyes widened immediately, "You, what are you talking about..." Then she looked at the woman on the couch, as if she wanted to see something from Du Yuanxiu's face.

However, Du Yuanxiu was also surprised, and then her eyes flashed, as if thinking of something. "Master Yongji County... Seriously?"

"Could it be that the side concubine is not aware of her physical condition?"

Yun Shu's words reminded Du Yuanxiu that she has always felt lack of appetite these days, and is prone to fatigue and lethargy, could it be...

The queen finally understood what Yunshu meant. If Du Yuanxiu knew that she was pregnant, she would never take the risk of harming the second concubine, and even caused herself to fall into the lake. Who would make fun of her child.But now, Du Yuanxiu doesn't know that she is pregnant, so she may still do such things that harm others and benefit herself.

"Master Yongji, what happened..." Du Yuanxiu wanted to know why the queen punished her.

"The side concubine, the maid next to the crown princess testified that it was the empress who pushed the second concubine behind her back, and she accidentally stepped on the hem of the concubine's skirt, that's why both of them fell into the lake."

"What? This... the concubine didn't push the younger siblings! At that time, someone pushed the younger siblings, and the concubine accidentally bumped into the younger siblings, and that's why..." But so to speak, he still hurt the younger siblings.

The queen frowned tightly. Sure enough, there were fights wherever there were women in the harem. Now the side concubine said that someone pushed her instead.

But no matter what the result is, it is impossible for the queen to send Du Yuanxiu to the cold palace again. She is already pregnant with a dragon son, which is the queen's own grandson!
"The side concubine fell into the lake this time and suffered from the cold air, so she must be more careful, and she will not be able to walk around at will in the future, and she must pay attention to safety."

"Quickly pass on the imperial doctor, you must be responsible for the safety of the crown prince's side concubine from now on..." At this point, the queen has already started to think about how to clear Du Yuanxiu's suspicion. After all, this is related to the two houses of Marquis Changyuan and Marquis Changqing .

"Master Yongji really thinks that the side concubine did not do this?" The empress took Yun Shu aside privately, only to see the elegant woman smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, Yun Shu just believes in the side concubine's character."

The queen nodded lightly, and she also felt that she should not have misjudged the person, "It's just that the maid next to the crown princess keeps saying that she saw the side concubine pushing the second concubine, so it's difficult to stop Youyou's mouth .”

"Empress, Yun Shu has an idea."

……

In the prince's palace.

"What? The crown prince and concubine were sent back? What did the queen say?"

Xin Lan showed hesitation, "Mother, for some reason, two court ladies stepped forward and said that they saw the two empresses fall into the lake at the same time with their own eyes, and then someone found a few pebbles."

"So, the queen means that the second imperial concubine fell into the lake because she stepped on a pebble?" Moreover, two witnesses were found to prove it. Needless to say, the queen's move was to protect the crown prince and side concubine.

Hmph, didn't you think that the queen would be so eccentric and reluctant to punish her daughter-in-law?

"Niang Niang..." Moreover, Xinlan also heard a piece of news, she knew that if her master heard this, she would lose control of her emotions.

"What's the matter?!" Xiyue's tone was already very dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, I heard that...the concubine of the crown prince is already a month pregnant..."

With a bang, the teacup in Xiyue's hand fell to the ground, her expression just froze there, she was pregnant for a month...

A flash of light flashed in her mind, she stood up excitedly, and Xinlan quickly knelt down.

Xiyue immediately thought, a month ago, wasn't it the time she gave Dongfang Xu the medicine? Could it be that day, it was Du Yuanxiu...

"Damn it!" Xiyue slapped the table fiercely with one hand, feeling no pain at all.He didn't expect that the thing he was most worried about happened, it really made Du Yuanxiu pregnant, why didn't he just drown her this time? !

"Your Majesty, where is the second imperial concubine..."

"Shut up!" With a slap, Xiyue slapped Xinlan's cheek with a slap, "It's more than failure!"

The palace maid was immediately knocked to the ground, a little blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, she tightly held her cheek holding back her tears and did not dare to move.

Du Yuanxiu, good, very good, since I can get rid of the second imperial concubine's child, then I can get rid of her child!Wait.
