Bei Wangfu, Jinyuyuan.
"I think the eldest princess will definitely save her son." Jiang Rong looked at Xie Lingxi, her eyebrows slightly curved:
"So, let's send a team of people there as well. What do you think?"
Xie Lingxi nodded slightly, "Yeah."
As for waiting for the eldest princess to rescue her, and then expose the matter to implicate her...
Jiang Rong only went through this method once in his mind and then threw it away.
Because the emperor obviously wanted to protect the eldest princess.
Otherwise, how could she escape unscathed from this fraud case?
Princess Anyang is the emperor's biological sister, and she is also a pawn used by the royal family to win over Yongning Marquis for marriage. She will never be thrown away easily.
If you want her to die, you can't just find some charges against her.
Only...
King Duan fell, and she was purged along with the Dong family...
Before that, just give her a small return gift.
……
Three days later.
Dong Zefei was robbed by bandits on his way to exile.
What is very shocking is that there are actually two groups of bandits. A fight broke out over the robbery...
In the chaos, Dong Zefei was stabbed seven or eight times and died.
The news spread back to the capital.
"Your Highness, my condolences..." Zhou Gou replied, kneeling tremblingly.
Princess Anyang couldn't believe it, "How could this happen... How could my son die... No! It's impossible! Who did this, who did it!"
"I don't know..." Zhou Gou whispered back, "That group of people also pretended to be bandits..."
Princess Anyang angrily picked up the tea cup and smashed it on his head, "What use are you for! It must be Jiang Rong. Only she would go against me like this! It must be her!"
"Jiang Rong, you killed my son, you... you are so brave, wait, wait..."
Princess Anyang was filled with grief and resentment, shouting hysterically, and was as excited as a madman by her son's death.
……
Beijing, Xishan Villa.
Mrs. Qiao felt a severe stomachache. She had always been uncomfortable with this baby since she was pregnant...
But this time the pain was extremely severe, and Qiao kept shouting, "Send it to the doctor quickly!"
Dr. Liu came to check her pulse late at night, but her face was not very good. "I'll prescribe some miscarriage pills for my wife!"
I drank several large bowls of medicine like this...
At dawn, Mrs. Qiao finally felt that her stomach pain was gone...
"But have you settled down?" Qiao asked.
Doctor Liu knelt on the ground tremblingly, "Madam, calm down, this child... this child can't be saved..."
"What do you mean?" Qiao couldn't believe it.
Doctor Liu replied tremblingly, "The fetus has lost its breath..."
Qiao's eyes darkened and she fainted on the spot.
Concubine Zhao, who was sleeping in the middle of the night, was also awakened and asked angrily, "It's so good, but the fetus can't be saved. Do you not want to live anymore?"
Doctor Liu was specially appointed by Concubine Zhao for the Qiao family. He kowtowed quickly and said:
"Mrs. Mingjing! It's hard to keep this child from the beginning. It depends entirely on the fetal protection medicine. Whether it can be kept depends on luck... But now the young lady is not very lucky..."
He didn't dare to speak clearly at first, but now he can only confess: "At the beginning of pregnancy, the young lady took some medicine that hurt the body. The medicine also hurt the fetus... I have tried my best to save it until now... "
"What kind of medicine is harmful to the body? All she takes are tonics!" Concubine Zhao said angrily.
"Things that are great tonic can also be harmful to the body..." Dr. Liu explained, "The Yinan soup my wife drank at that time... was very harmful to the body. Although I stopped her and never drank it again, it also hurt the fetus. I couldn’t make up for it.”
Yinan soup.
Concubine Zhao's face turned pale. This was the medicine she had given to Mr. Qiao. It was said that it would definitely give birth to a son...
Only drank once.
Doctor Liu did not dare to say that he drank the wrong medicine. He just said that Qiao was in poor health and needed to protect her pregnancy and could not take other medicine... so he stopped taking it.
If the old concubine knew that Qiao's pregnancy could not be saved, it was because she gave Qiao a tonic...
No, no!
Concubine Zhao looked at Doctor Liu, her eyes full of warning: "You know what can and cannot be said."
"Everyone understands." Dr. Liu nodded.
Concubine Zhao paced back and forth. She was counting on this child, but now the child is gone...
From now on, she will not have a say in the North Palace.
"When you go to the Prince's Palace in the North, you say that Mrs. Qiao is not in good health and needs medicine from Tianshan Jade Ginseng. This thing is not available in the palace's medicine storehouse. But it is in Jinyuyuan's private storehouse. You said that for the sake of the child, the imperial concubine must have it. Borrow it." Concubine Zhao looked at Doctor Liu and said.
The medicine warehouse of Beiwang Mansion has all been moved to Xishan Villa.
But each room has its own small vault.
This Tianshan jade ginseng was a tribute given by the emperor years ago, but there were only two plants. The old lady used one plant for herself, and the other plant was given to Xie Lingxi.
Doctor Liu took the order.
Concubine Zhao thought to herself, if the child is gone, it will be gone. It wouldn't be bad to take this opportunity to knock Jiang Rong down.
She immediately ordered someone to wake up Mr. Qiao, who couldn't bear the blow and fainted.
"I know you are grieving now, but you have to think about our situation. For the sake of a cat, you were pregnant, and Xie Lingxi even kicked you out. Now that the child is gone, you have even less status." Concubine Zhao looked at Mrs. Qiao and said:
"You have to remember, it's not that we didn't keep the child, it's because Jiang Rong was jealous of you and drugged the jade ginseng he gave you!"
"Two days ago, the old concubine just came back from the mountain. Even if the old concubine favors Xie Lingxi, she will definitely be furious if Jiang Rong kills her great-grandson! It is impossible for the Xie family to have a mistress who poisons her children, Jiang Rong Rong Bing must get out of Beiwang Mansion!"
Mrs. Qiao was very uncomfortable at first, but after hearing Concubine Zhao's words, she gradually calmed down.
There will be children in the future, but the opportunity to drive away Jiang Rong is not to be missed!
"My daughter-in-law understands."
……
In Jinyuyuan.
"I would like to ask for your mercy, Princess Royal. The young lady's health is very unwell and she really needs a jade ginseng to protect the fetus. If not, I'm afraid the fetus...can't be saved," Doctor Liu said.
Jade felt that he was clearly robbing her.
If you don't give jade ginseng, you can't save this child.
Can't that just be given?
This Qiao family is really a trickster. She took advantage of her pregnancy to steal the cloth that was supposed to belong to the Crown Princess, and now she is the first to come and steal things!
"You talk about robbery in such a nice way now?" Jade shouted.
Dr. Liu could only laugh awkwardly.
Jiang Rong was calm, "Okay, I understand. This jade ginseng has not been used for a long time and I don't know where it is. Just wait a moment, I will send someone to find it."
"Thank you, Crown Princess!" Doctor Liu was determined.
Jiang Rong stood up and returned to the backyard with Jade.
"Prince Concubine, this Qiao family has gone too far. Taking advantage of her pregnancy to bully others is too much! She can ask for jade ginseng today, but she can ask for something else tomorrow! If you don't give it to her, you will use the child to oppress others!" Feicui felt wronged for Jiang Rong. .
Jiang Rong said calmly, "I think she's not just robbing things."
Who would dare to give medicine to a pregnant woman, but she would not. Especially, she remembered that Qiao's pregnancy was not saved.
