Chapter 128: Legend of Zhen Huan 73
The two were playing around when they suddenly heard Shen Meizhuang's cry from the ground. Zhen Huan immediately squatted down and held Shen Meizhuang's hand.
"Sister Mei, what happened to you? You are bleeding."
Fu Cha Xinyun, who was sitting next to her, leaned over to take a look and intuitively felt that Shen Meizhuang must have had a miscarriage.
Originally, Fucha Xinyun didn't want to intervene. After all, they had been enemies since Shen Meizhuang decided to help Zhen Huan. But thinking of the emperor sitting above, she decided to show off.
With the support of Yulan, Fucha Xinyu carefully walked to the front and took a look.
"Your Majesty, from what I see, Concubine Shen is pregnant."
The blood flowing from Shen Meizhuang's lower abdomen was covered by her clothes, and Yinzhen really didn't see it. It was only after Fu Cha Xinyun said that that he reacted.
"Su Peisheng, call the imperial physician immediately."
Zhen Huan followed everyone and helped Shen Meizhuang to the chair. Even if Yinzhen was dissatisfied with Shen Meizhuang at this time, he didn't say anything.
Before the imperial physician arrived, the empress dowager brought Aunt Zhuxi to the Yangxin Palace.
As soon as she came in, the Queen Mother saw Shen Meizhuang sitting on a chair, holding her stomach. "What happened to Concubine Shen?"
Yinzhen didn't know how to answer the empress dowager's question. After all, it was just Zhaopin's guess, and the specific situation still depended on what the imperial physician said.
The Queen Mother was somewhat unhappy when she saw that the Emperor did not speak, but with her keen eyesight she still noticed something.
"When was your last period?"
Shen Meizhuang thought for a moment, "It was about two months ago, but my period is often irregular, so I didn't pay much attention to it."
When Zhen Huan heard Shen Meizhuang say this, she was worried that all her efforts would be in vain and would make the Emperor and the Empress Dowager angry, so she tried to explain.
"Is it possible that Sister Mei just happened to have her period?"
Zhen Huan's words reminded everyone that it was not impossible.
Just then, the imperial physician finally arrived, hurrying over with a medicine box.
The Queen Mother had always been quite fond of Shen Meizhuang, and now that Shen Meizhuang was probably pregnant, she was even happier than when Concubine Zhao was pregnant.
"Hurry, hurry, show it to Concubine Shen."
Seeing that both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were present, the imperial physician did not dare to be perfunctory. After taking the patient's pulse several times to confirm, he knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Concubine Shen is indeed pregnant, but she is a little weak and has not been well cared for recently. She must have been hit suddenly just now, which led to the miscarriage."
Shen Meizhuang was stunned for a moment, and tears suddenly flowed out, "Are you saying that I was pregnant?"
Zhen Huan quickly comforted her, "Sister Mei, we will have children in the future."
Shen Meizhuang kept shaking her head, "No, even if it comes again, it won't be him. How could I be so careless?"
Shen Meizhuang kept hitting her head with her hands while speaking, and Caiyue immediately grabbed the young lady's hand.
"My dear, please don't hurt yourself!"
The Queen Mother's raised lips had not lasted for even a minute when she received a warning of miscarriage.
"What happened? How could Concubine Shen not be able to rest well and get hit?"
Caiyue recalled Shen Meizhuang's previous routine, "The young lady started to deal with palace affairs a few days ago, and she has to work until very late every day, and often cannot eat on time. In addition, a few days ago..."
"Colorful Moon!"
Shen Meizhuang interrupted Caiyue's unfinished words. In the past few days, Shen Meizhuang had not slept well because she was busy with Zhen Huan's affairs.
But Zhen Huan is now on the edge of a cliff, and Shen Meizhuang came to save her, so naturally she doesn't want Zhen Huan to make the Emperor and the Empress Dowager angry again because of Caiyue's words.
However, although Shen Meizhuang interrupted Caiyue's words, the emperor and the queen mother actually knew why. As a result, their impression of Zhen Huan became even worse.
Not only that, Yinzhen was also very dissatisfied with Shen Meizhuang. What was the duty of a concubine? Wasn't it to provide the royal family with offspring?
Shen Meizhuang did it for the palace power first, and then for Zhen Huan. Now that she has had a miscarriage, she still stubbornly helps Zhen Huan to cover up. Yinzhen doesn't want to listen anymore.
But the Queen Mother was not like that. Although she felt a little regretful about Shen Meizhuang's miscarriage, given the favor Shen Meizhuang received, it was only a matter of time before she got pregnant again.
It's a good opportunity to make a request while the emperor is feeling sorry for Shen Meizhuang.
"Your Majesty, I think there must be some misunderstanding regarding the murder of the unborn child in Concubine Zhao's belly. Concubine Shen is a dignified person, and she is definitely not such a person.
As for Wan Chang Zai, she couldn't be accused of any crime, she just listened to what others said. Zhaopin wearing Dongzhu was an act of usurpation, even if Wan Chang Zai didn't say anything, naturally there would be others who would say it.
This really can't be blamed on her. Concubine Shen has also had a miscarriage and is not in good health. Your Majesty should just let them go back.
As for Concubine Zhao, the crime of usurpation is punishable by death. Considering that she is now pregnant with the emperor's fetus, I cannot say anything. But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living punishment cannot be escaped.
The matter of Dongzhu is small but the rules are big. If everyone can break the rules, then what is the point of setting these rules?
In my opinion, Concubine Zhao was demoted to an official woman.
As for her treatment, before she gives birth to the child, she will be treated as a concubine. After she gives birth to the child, the child will be taken to Shoukang Palace to be raised.
This can also be regarded as a lesson for Zhaopin, letting her know that there are some things that she cannot covet. "
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Yinzhen was so angry that he laughed. I don't know if his mother was confused by this series of events, otherwise why would she say such stupid words?
Fucha Xinyun was also confused. Didn't she come to see the punishment of the person who plotted to murder the heir to the throne? How come in the blink of an eye, the other person became innocent, while she was guilty?
Fucha Xingyun wondered if Zhen Huan had the aura of a protagonist? Why did the Queen Mother suddenly take action?
However, Fucha Xingyun was not afraid. After all, the Dongzhu was originally awarded to her by the emperor, and the emperor had told her at that time that the Dongzhu was just a worldly possession.
Besides, she was pregnant now, so the Queen Mother's casual words could not punish her.
Sure enough, as soon as the Queen Mother finished her words, Yinzhen refuted her.
"The Dongzhu was given to Concubine Zhao by me."
"Your Majesty, even if you gave it to Concubine Zhao, according to etiquette, Concubine Zhao is not qualified to wear it. But she not only accepted it, but also wore it. This is simply knowingly committing a crime."
Yinzhen looked at the Empress Dowager. He didn't care what agreement the Empress Dowager had reached with Concubine Shen and others, but he was the Emperor and the only master of the world.
Besides, rules are always made by people. If he recognizes them, they are rules. If he doesn’t recognize them, they are nothing.
"I just gave Concubine Zhao two pearls, and the Empress Dowager was so angry. When the Emperor was alive, didn't he often give Mother things that didn't conform to the rules? Why did they insist on framing Concubine Zhao as an act of usurpation? If so, did the Empress Dowager also commit the crime of usurpation back then?"
