PDLP Chapter 138 Dirty Water
Chapter 138 Dirty Water
Concubine Rou twisted the handkerchief in her hand so hard that it was almost torn to pieces.
Yu Changzai kept his head down, not daring to look up, not even daring to be jealous of her.
Zhou Shiya's expression changed again and again. She touched her thin cloak... She couldn't help but cough softly.
The Queen Mother showed some concern for her.
But the emperor never even looked at her from beginning to end, let alone cared about her situation.
Zhou Shiya's heart felt like it was soaked in a jar of vinegar, and she couldn't help but burst into tears in her eyes.
She is really jealous... Doesn't His Majesty have any regard for her at all in his eyes?
She is his first wife!
About an hour later, Chang Hui walked out of the inner hall exhausted, feeling relieved.
"Liu promised to be out of danger."
"Raise her well...there's still a chance of getting pregnant in the future."
Concubine Wan walked up to the Empress Dowager with red eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Da Ying is so pitiful. Oh, Your Majesty, please find out the real culprit behind this and seek justice for Liu Da Ying."
The Queen Mother patted the back of her hand. In order to demonstrate her kindness as the Queen Mother, she slowly stood up and went to the inner hall to visit Liu Da Ying.
Concubine Wan helped the Queen Mother inside.
Because Zhou Shiya was the queen, she also had to ask Guan Liu for his consent, so she followed him in.
Qin Feiling knew that he couldn't stay out of this situation, so he squeezed Zhou Lingge's hand and said, "Sit here for a while. I'll go in and take a look."
Zhou Lingge pursed her lips and nodded lightly.
Qin Feiling entered the inner hall. Only Zhou Lingge, Concubine Rou, and the little-known Concubine Yu were left in the hall.
Concubine Rou slowly raised her eyes to look at Zhou Lingge. She couldn't help but say with a hint of bitterness, "Your Majesty is truly doting on the Imperial Concubine. I, your humble servant, am truly envious."
Zhou Lingge chuckled, "Roupin's handkerchief is about to be torn to pieces... I guess it's not just envy, right?"
She exposed the truth without mercy and had no intention of continuing the hypocritical greetings with Concubine Rou.
Concubine Rou's expression changed, and her originally gentle face suddenly became a little ferocious.
She gritted her teeth secretly, raised her chin and looked at Zhou Lingge.
"Heh... I thought the Imperial Concubine had changed, but I didn't expect she hadn't. That cautious and timid expression you just displayed... was just a deliberate act in front of His Majesty."
Zhou Lingge retorted bluntly, "Yes, I am just acting. If Concubine Rou doesn't like it, you can go to His Majesty and complain. Do you think he will believe you?"
"Don't let it end up that you fail to win the lawsuit and instead lose the image of being considerate, gentle and virtuous that you have always maintained."
This was the first time that the two of them had torn off their disguises. Roupin's eyes were full of anger as she stared at Zhou Lingge.
Her eyes were bloodshot.
Then she laughed in anger.
"Your Highness, calm down. I was just joking with you..."
She leaned forward slightly to express her apology.
Then she stood up straight and didn't look at Zhou Lingge again.
There was a faint light in her eyes... and she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
Zhou Lingge, don’t be so proud… She will soon stop laughing.
Just wait, this time I will definitely drag this vixen into hell.
Her good days are coming to an end.
Yu Changzai looked at the hall which had finally quieted down. She trembled and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her arms.
She tried her best to become a transparent person. The conversation between Concubine Rou and the Imperial Concubine was full of gunpowder.
Everyone wears a mask, and everyone knows each other's true face... This feeling is really creepy.
How could she, a nobody with no talent or looks, fight against them?
In order to save her life, she should give up the idea of competing for favor.
Inner Temple.
Liu Da Ying woke up with a pale face and saw the Queen Mother and the Emperor standing beside the bed, looking at her with concern.
She reached out to Qin Feiling with grievance.
Qin Feiling frowned, but didn't reach out. She only expressed some concern: "You should take good care of yourself... You will have a chance to have children in the future."
The Queen Mother felt sorry for Liu Da Ying, so she quickly sat down beside the bed and held her hand.
"Good child... I will draft an imperial decree when I return, appointing you as Consort Jing... I hope this will heal your grief over the loss of your child."
Liu Da Ying couldn't control her tears and slowly slid down her cheeks.
She shook her head and looked at the Queen Mother with tearful eyes: "Your Highness, I don't want any position. I just want justice for myself and my child."
"My child is gone just like that. I'm so heartbroken. I didn't even have the chance to hold him or touch him. He left me just like that. Ever since I became pregnant, I've been hoping every day that this child would be born soon and grow up quickly."
"I made so many clothes and bought so many toys... but now they're all gone... He was separated from my body like this, and I'm really sad..."
"Empress Dowager...I am in so much pain."
Liu Da Ying cried hysterically and was in great pain.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but tear up. As a mother herself, she naturally knew how painful it was to lose her own child.
She also lost a child once.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but feel sad and started crying along with Liu Da Ying.
Zhou Shiya's eyes also turned red.
She pinched the handkerchief to cover the corner of her mouth, slowly leaned over, and patted Liu Da Ying's back to calm her excited emotions.
Concubine Wan cried like a tearful person.
She could hardly bear to look at Liu Da Ying.
Qin Feiling also felt bad, after all, this was his own flesh and blood.
He tilted his head back and took a deep breath.
The Queen Mother clenched her fists and growled through gritted teeth, "Investigate, we must find the murderer who caused Liu's miscarriage."
"I will never tolerate it."
Just then, Eunuch Liu walked in trembling from outside.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager...this servant...this servant has found some clues."
"But things... seem a little..."
He glanced at Qin Feiling nervously.
Qin Feiling frowned, realizing that things might not be that simple.
The Queen Mother wiped the tears from her face and said, "What's the matter? Just tell me directly... There's nothing you can't say."
Eunuch Liu knelt on the ground, knocking his forehead against the ground.
His voice trembled as he gritted his teeth and answered word by word, "According to the confessions of the palace maids in Liu's palace, Liu has been secretly drinking some kind of pregnancy-preserving medicine these days..."
"I interrogated Cuirong, the maidservant beside Liu Da Ying, and got her to tell me that she had secretly bought the abortion-preserving medicine from a servant in Yuanchen Palace."
"Cui Rong said that ever since Liu agreed to drink the pregnancy-maintaining medicine, she has felt increasingly uncomfortable. At first, she thought it was normal, but she didn't expect to have spotting today. It's so serious."
"I had someone arrest the servant who sold my wife in Yuanchen Palace... He said that everything he did was in accordance with Jinxin's instructions, and he knew nothing else."
Qin Feiling's heart suddenly sank.
He didn't expect that this matter would involve Yuanchen Palace?
He couldn't help but laugh angrily: "Okay, okay... Every time something happens in the harem, it's always linked to the imperial concubine. Ever since she entered the palace, all the bad things have been done by her. All the dirty water is thrown on her, right?"
