The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 103 Miscarriage
Gossip is a strange thing.

Sometimes you don’t know where it came from and when it was fermented. When you notice it, it has become wonderful in the process of flowing. creativity.

The imperial doctor Zhong came to take Chen Concubine's pulse yesterday morning, and today when Nanny Zeng came to tell Yun Ruochen about the so-called "rumor", there were already many sensational versions.

Doctor Zhu's medical skills are doubted, and it is the most common version.

The second version is that Concubine Chen, for some unknown purpose, bribed Imperial Physician Zhu to lie about her pregnancy time.The direction behind this version is terrible-"I don't know what the purpose is", the concubine is pregnant and even fakes, what are you trying to hide?
Blurring the real conception time, this matter is big or small!
Although there are no proper nouns such as "Xi Dang Dae" and "Xian Pan Xia" these days, Yun Ruochen has already fully grasped the amazing connotation of this version.

Then it is intriguing. If Chen Concubine's child is not the emperor's, whose is it?All the men who had come into contact with her were suspected of committing major crimes. Although Yun Ruochen thought about it, he couldn't think of a concubine who was surrounded by a bunch of court ladies at any time would really have the opportunity to have an affair with someone.

If it is true, that person is really fast... Cough cough, stop, this association is too impure, Yun Ruochen quickly pulled back his rushing thoughts.

However, there is another version that says that Imperial Physician Zhong was jealous of Imperial Physician Zhu's attention and viciously framed Imperial Physician Zhu. In fact, Concubine Chen and Imperial Physician Zhu were both innocent!
Yun Ruochen understood why Concubine Duan Gui looked sour.

Although Concubine Duan Gui was very upset that Concubine Chen was pregnant, it was just that.Given the huge disparity in status between Concubine Duan Gui and Concubine Chen, it is definitely not something that Concubine Chen can climb up to if she has a child.

So what if he has a child, can he be guaranteed to be a son?Even if it is a son, the emperor is already so old, he has already established a prince, and there is still a king of Cheng outside, when will it be his turn to be the heir of the emperor.

Therefore, even if Concubine Chen gave birth to a son, she would not be able to threaten Concubine Duan.Concubine Duan Gui has natural hostility towards Concubine Chen only because she has no children.

Yun Ruochen can guarantee that Concubine Duan Gui will never have the idea of ​​getting rid of Concubine Chen's child, what good will this do for her?But on the other hand, others don't think so.

Right now Concubine Duan is probably worried about two things.First, someone took advantage of the rumors to stir up trouble, dragged her into the water, and slandered her for creating rumors because she was unhappy with Concubine Chen's pregnancy.If this matter comes to the emperor, let alone what will happen to Concubine Chen, Concubine Duan Guifei will definitely have nothing to eat anyway.

Second, even if no one deliberately targets her, but as the de facto manager of the Six Palaces, she allows rumors to spread in the Palace and throw them out, which is quite lethal!

However, Yun Ruochen thinks that Concubine Duan Gui needn't worry too much.Concubine Duan Gui had been sitting in a high position for a long time, she was afraid that she might have persecution paranoia, and always felt that everything in the palace might be targeted at her.

And Yun Ruochen had obtained information from Nie Shen long before this.

By now it was obvious that this was definitely a conspiracy.But Yun Ruochen was thinking about it, and he didn't figure out who the plot was directed at.

Harm Concubine Chen?She is an ordinary concubine with no background, and she has been a nobleman in the palace for ten years. If she hadn't been pregnant this time, it would probably be over.

"Why do I keep encountering such mindless conspiracies lately...headache..."

Yun Ruochen sighed, rubbed the center of his brows, and somehow remembered the food poisoning incident in Zhuangyuan Building some time ago.

Don't worry about the one in Zhuangyuan Building, no matter how complicated the conspiracy behind it is, it has nothing to do with her for the time being.Concubine Chen is different...

"Princess, this servant has the guts to tell you these dirty things, it hurts your spirit." Seeing Yun Ruochen's eyebrows furrowed tightly, Zeng Mama thought that a little girl under ten years old was in a complicated mood when she heard such things. , Apologetically said: "But this is a big matter, princess, you have always had an idea, I think I should talk to you first."

"You're right."

Yun Ruochen nodded in agreement: "You should tell me about these things in the palace. Sigh, mother, Chen'er is so tired..."

"Is the princess tired?"

"Ah."

Nanny Zeng looked at the Princess with a tired expression on her face, she just thought that she still couldn't digest these things, she was a little nervous and didn't dare to talk to her any more.

Later, Xia Hong and Qiu Rong came to change her clothes and gave her calming tea, but she never said a word.

"Damn it, I really can't figure it out."

After Yun Ruochen made everyone retreat, he still didn't give up, and used copper coins to repeatedly calculate that the hexagrams were bad omens three times, but he couldn't get a clue.

Knowing that something was happening, and it might involve herself, she couldn't make an effective prediction.At this time, we can only rely on timely collection of more intelligence and adapt to the situation.

On the day of the stove sacrifice, Yun Ruochen saw Concubine Chen again.After a few days of seeing each other, Concubine Chen's complexion turned yellow, and the swelling on her face became more obvious, which was very different from her bright and beautiful appearance before.

Emperor Yuan Qi's attitude towards Concubine Chen was also cold, and he didn't feel any more doting on her because she was pregnant.If it hadn't been for Concubine Chen's promotion, others would not have felt the change in her status in the palace.

Judging from this situation, Concubine Chen must have known about the rumors, but what can she do?In this case, if she was really framed, she could only swallow the dead mouse without saying a word.If you pretend to be pitiful, maybe you can save the game!

This is the power of gossip. If you ignore it, others will say that you have a guilty conscience.If you deal with it seriously, others will say you are suspicious.

There are too many mistakes, and it is best to deal with them obediently and coldly!

But within two days, things seemed to get worse.

The imperial doctor Zhong who took the pulse of Concubine Chen last time was quickly transferred from the imperial hospital and thrown to Nanzhili.As for Imperial Physician Zhu, he seemed to be living a normal life, and he still went to the palace every day to take care of the emperor's body.

On the surface, the masters in the palace seem to be conveying a message to everyone that "Emperor Zhong's words are nonsense", trying to curb the rumors from the source.According to the general situation, the rumors should gradually fade away by this time.

The ensuing developments, however, have not been the quiet return to status quo that many had hoped for.

There is an updated version of the rumors in the palace.This time the version is even more explosive. It is said that the imperial physician Zhu did not know what medicine he gave the emperor. Only the imperial physician Zhu knew the prescription, so the emperor could not do without him.And Chen Concubine's child is actually the doctor Zhu's. The emperor knew the truth, but he endured it...

"A great version..."

This time Yun Ruochen didn't find out about it from Nanny Zeng, but Xia Hong whispered it in her ear in private.

Ever since Xia Hong was selected as her servant and followed her in and out of the study, she has consciously regarded herself as her confidant.Yun Ruochen encouraged her to take advantage of various opportunities to communicate with the maids and eunuchs in other palaces, and to come back and report to herself if there was anything worthy of attention.

After hearing this upgraded version, Yun Ruochen felt even worse.

Even the emperor was included in it, the black hands behind the scenes are bold enough.

With all this going on, can Concubine Duan still pretend she doesn't know anything?It's time to take action to rectify the gossip in this palace, right?

She guessed right, as expected, less than a day later, the atmosphere in each palace became tense.

Due to the many sacrificial activities in the twelfth lunar month, there are also many people who transport various materials in and out of the palace every day.This is also the time when the maids and eunuchs of the various palaces are making a lot of money. In order to maintain a good atmosphere for the New Year, the masters usually turn a blind eye to these things.

But this time, a large eunuch who was responsible for picking up and inspecting ingredients at the gate of the palace was arrested because they asked for some favors when they let the vegetable vendors in.Several eunuchs were beaten to death under the order of Concubine Duan Gui, and their death conditions were extremely tragic.

Immediately afterwards, that night, several guards who gambled while on duty were arrested.Although these guards were not killed, they were dismissed immediately, and naturally there were more than a dozen blows on the board.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is Concubine Duan Gui who is warning the people in the palace: "Don't think about messing around!"

Moreover, Concubine Duan Gui's actions were clearly acquiesced by the emperor.

Which man can stand being told that he wears a cuckold? The emperor is also a human being, and the emperor also cares about his reputation.

At this time, Concubine Chen became more and more reclusive, and no longer appeared in front of people.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Yun Ruochen originally wanted to leave the palace under the pretext of sending some annual gifts to the Prince's Mansion, but seeing the frost on Duan Guifei's face, he dared not even mention it.

In troubled times, it's safer to just stay calm.

This day was the last time she went to the study room to go to school before the Chinese New Year.After class, Chang Shiyang and Tong Hao took out gift boxes and gave them to her, saying that the masters of the private school outside would give some small gifts to the students before the New Year, expressing encouragement to the students for a year of study.

What Chang Shiyang presented was a small copper paperweight engraved with a lotus pattern.What Tong Hao gave was a set of Hu brushes, an authentic tribute, but not for writing.

"Ruochen, your handwriting is already pretty good. When the museum opens next year, I can teach you how to practice Danqing."

"Okay!"

Yun Ruochen is very happy, Mr. Tong is really elegant!
After the two gentlemen finished delivering the presents, Gu Che also took out a small box and handed it to her: "Ruochen, this is for you."

"Huh? There's no need to be so polite between classmates..."

After all, Yun Ruochen was quite curious about what Gu Che would give.She wanted to open it right away, but as soon as her hand touched the lock of the box, Gu Che's expression became very tangled. Yun Ruochen vaguely understood that he wanted her to read it in private.

Alright, alright, the little boy has many tricks, just don't put a praying mantis or beetle in it to tease her.Forgive him for not daring!

The four teachers and students chatted and laughed, and were about to end the last class of this year, when suddenly Xia Hong came to Yun Ruochen to report with a panicked face.

Yun Ruochen's heart skipped a beat, he walked outside the upper study room, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"Princess, Concubine Chen, she..." Xia Hong's voice was as thin as a mosquito: "It's a miscarriage."

Chen Pin had a miscarriage?
