The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

After hearing the eunuch's message, Chu Jinyao's heart sank, she immediately got up and asked Linglong to change her clothes.

The news of the miscarriage soon spread throughout the palace. When Chu Jinyao rushed to the palace, many people were already standing in the courtyard.

Empress Xiaoqi has already arrived. She is sitting on the armchair in the main hall and confessing to several imperial doctors with a calm face: "The pity of this child is hard-won. Both the emperor and the palace attach great importance to it. You must save the dragon fetus anyway. If the emperor's heir has any shortcomings, this palace will never forgive you lightly!"

Several imperial doctors responded profusely, but they were finally incapable of manpower. Even if the imperial doctors were superb, they were still humans, so how could they bring them back to life. The atmosphere in the yard was solemn, and no one dared to speak at this time. Chu Jinyao was very heavy, walked gently to the nave, and bowed to the queen: "Empress Empress."

After Xiao Qi looked at Chu Jinyao indifferently: "The princess is here too."

Chu Jinyao nodded in response. After Chu Jinyao stood up, Zhao Lanhui and several other concubines stepped forward to salute Chu Jinyao: "The crown prince is a blessing."

At this time, no one has the mind to pay attention to these details. Chu Jinyao nodded casually, and asked Zhao Lanhui to stand up, and then asked, "How is the pity empress?"

Empress Xiaoqi's face was somber and silent, and the highest-ranking and most experienced concubine Shu Fei answered: "Several imperial doctors from the imperial hospital have all been called, and they are now being rescued inside, so I have to wait for the imperial doctor to tell me more about it. "

"How could the pity empress suddenly miscarry?" Chu Jinyao asked, "When I met pity in the garden a few days ago, her complexion was ruddy and her fetus was stable, not like a sign of miscarriage."

No one could answer this, and Concubine Shu also responded with a frown, as if she was quite distressed by the accidental abortion of the pity, and the other decent concubines agreed, as if they were all soft-hearted, pitiful and kind-hearted people. Li Fei stood and listened. When everyone was not paying attention, she secretly lowered her head and smiled.

These concubines seem to be heartbroken one by one, but in fact, which one is not about to laugh and burst his stomach. The harem has never tolerated a single show, so many concubines and beauties can't be pregnant with an emperor's heir, and a pity is no more than a maid. Why?

Empress Xiaoqi couldn’t see it anymore, and said with a solemn face: "Be quiet for this palace! The pity is still lying in it. If you really feel heartache, go in and tell her again, don’t delay the doctor’s help now. people."

"Yes." The concubines bowed their heads and promised. Chu Jinyao didn't ask any more, but cast his gaze on the drooping curtain.

The human fate is really embarrassing. Chu Jinyao was still happily sewing small clothes to Chu Jinxian's children, but now he has to face the passing of another little life. There is a folk saying that seven lives and eight do not live, which means that once a child is born prematurely, a child of seven months can survive, but it is not easy to survive at eight months. Pity now, it's exactly eight months.

Chu Jinyao deeply regretted that she and Lianyi had a very shallow relationship, but as a woman, Chu Jinyao very much hoped that Lianyi could keep her child and the mother and child safe. The last time she met the pity in the garden, there was still a thick panic between the pity's eyebrows, but when she mentioned the child in her belly, her eyes suddenly softened, and the smile on her lips also came from Inner tenderness. At that time they also talked about Chu Jinxian. They didn't expect that in less than half a month, Chu Jinxian gave birth to a little boy safely, but the pity was lying in it, not knowing his life or death.

The atmosphere in the palace was very solemn, and suddenly the curtain of the inner room moved, and an imperial doctor came out. The imperial doctor knelt down directly after seeing Xiao Qi, and did not dare to raise his head and reported: "I cannot save the little prince because I told the empress and the ministers for incompetence."

The female relatives in the room exclaimed in a low voice, Li Fei covered her mouth with her hand and asked: "Is this a boy?"

"Yes, the minister tried his best to induce the little prince to give birth early, but when the little prince came out, his face turned blue and he was very angry."

Chu Jinyao couldn't bear it, and sighed deeply. After Xiao Qi chanted a sentence of Buddha and reprimanded the imperial physician, he said: "It seems that this child has no relationship with the emperor, and we can't force it. Lanyu, go and pass this news to the emperor."

Lan Yu took his orders. No one dared to inform the emperor after the accident happened. Now that the dust has settled and the child is completely gone, only after Xiaoqi has someone tell the emperor the news. The pitiful girl inside seemed to have heard the maid reporting that she was a prince. The voice inside paused, and immediately burst out a heart-wrenching cry. After the cry of pity came outside, everyone bowed their heads and no one spoke.

After Xiaoqi sat for a while, he patted the armrest angrily: "The emperor has few heirs, so far there are only three princes under his knees. Seeing that the four princes have been eight months old, they will be able to come out in peace immediately. There will be a miscarriage at this joint. . I’m a doctor, my palace asks you, how can I have a miscarriage if I am sorry?"

Several imperial doctors knelt down in fear, and their voices were trembling: "Return to the queen mother, pity her mother for eight months of pregnancy. The previous fetus is very stable and there is no sign of premature birth. Now the sudden miscarriage may be caused by external forces."

Caused by external force?

The people present were all human beings in the palace, and I didn't understand what these four words meant. In fact, an abortion at eight months is very strange. In such a big month, the person who has a fetus is trying to let the child and the adult die together.

Chu Jinyao understood, but on this occasion she was very cautious and refused to speak more. After Xiao Qi heard the imperial doctor’s words, she became more angry. She swept all the cups and plates on the table to the ground with her sleeves. The porcelain fell to the ground and made a harsh sound. Chu Jinyao stood still, and the maid behind her knelt immediately. Lower your head and hold your breath.

Empress Xiaoqi's face was sullen, and his eyes were like torches: "It's so bold to dare to murder the emperor's heir. No matter who did it, if I let this palace find out, this palace will never be merciless."

After Xiao Qi gave an order, he immediately sent people to search for suspicious things. The pity is a court lady. She has a humble background and knows that her child is dangerous, so she is very careful on weekdays. The incense-prone things have stopped early. The antifetal medicine must be taken back to the palace and fried, and the usual food and drink. However, everything that is imported has been checked repeatedly, and there is really no omission.

The pity man was already careful enough, Xiao Qi sent someone to investigate in the palace, but did not find any clues. Chu Jinyao stood watching and couldn't bear it anymore.

"Queen, Lianyu just had a miscarriage, and now it's time for her to be physically weak and need to rest. If we search with great fanfare, will it disturb Lianyu to rest and do the wrong thing kindly, and harm her instead?"

Pity has a miscarriage in such a high month, and now it must be badly injured. After Xiaoqi, this ping-pong pong, is turning things over and interrogating, do you want to help pity or want her to die? Chu Jinyao didn't have a deep friendship with Lianbi, but her sister had just given birth. No matter what angle, Chu Jinyao couldn't see Xiaoqi's behavior.

After Xiao Qi glanced at Chu Jinyao, he seemed to smile: "This palace is to redress the young prince who died young. As the biological mother of the young prince, I must also want to know who killed him. The prince concubine blocked him uncharacteristically. What is the meaning of this palace to find out the truth?"

"Naturally, I also want to find out the real murderer. How innocent a child is. Someone even tried to kill the child and kill two lives. At the same time, this kind of person should have been retributed. If he could catch this person, he would It’s a great joy, and the sixth house is celebrating. But, the deceased has gone, and the pity has lost the child. We should always think about her body. With such a big fanfare, I am afraid that the pity will be caught before the real murderer is found. I can't stand it in dismay."

Chu Jinyao's remarks entrained a lot. After Xiao Qi heard the word "retribution", the expression in his eyes changed slightly, but all this happened in a flash, and before anyone discovered it, Xiao Qi covered it up again. Up. But Chu Jinyao had been paying attention to Empress Xiao Qi, and she noticed the changes in Empress Xiao Qi sharply, and Chu Jinyao immediately confirmed it. This time, Empress Xiao Qi's handwriting is indispensable.

In fact, Chu Jinyao has been suspicious for a long time. Empress Xiaoqi is very abnormal today. She usually pays attention to her manners and reputation. How can she get angry in front of so many people and make such an indecent action as sweeping the teacup to the ground? The most probable explanation is that Xiao Qi's empress had another trick after pity.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a palace goddess to walk in, and Xiao Qi immediately scolded when he saw it, "Bold! What do you do, sneaky."

The maid knelt down and said faintly: "The queen mother forgive me. The slave and maid did not intend to do so. It's just that the slave saw a few footprints in the flowerbed at the back of the palace, and... a strand of burnt hair."

hair? Chu Jinyao frowned, and her parents, whose body is affected by hair and skin, hair is especially important and cannot be handled casually. Moreover, the action of scorching the hair is very meaningful in itself.

Xiaoqi’s queen asked people to follow the palace maid to find them. After a **** came back, he attached it to the queen’s ear to report: "Manny, there is indeed a section of broken hair behind, which is mostly burnt. In addition, there are still a few scattered around the hair. A purple petal, like someone stuck to the sole of a shoe and dropped it accidentally."

As the **** said, this kind of petals were presented. Although everyone in the hall couldn't hear what the **** and Xiao Qi said, but looking at the things on the plate, they could probably guess at odds and ends.

Chu Jinyao frowned when he saw the purple debris on the plate. After Xiao Qi listened to the eunuch's report, his eyes swept across the people in the hall slowly and majesticly, and said: "Pity, this birth is strange, and the backyard also found that A piece of scorched hair is cut off. My palace is in the position of phoenix, and this kind of thing is never allowed in the harem. Therefore, the palace will thoroughly investigate this matter. Come and check, where is this in the palace. Plant petals."

The **** passed the order, and the concubines looked at the things on the plate and talked about each other. You added the news one sentence at a time. Zhao Lanhui glanced at Chu Jinyao silently. Zhao Lanhui thought he was hiding it, but Chu Jinyao had already noticed it. Chu Jinyao just didn't know, and still stood calmly and dignified.

Finally, the next message came: "This kind of flower is called amethyst, and it is not easy to cultivate. It is only seeded in the Imperial Palace and Chengqian Palace. In addition, it is the Qi De Hall."

Purple flowers cannot be planted indiscriminately. The Imperial Palace and Chengqian Palace are the palaces for the emperor to discuss and live, while the Qide Palace is the palace of Chu Jinyao and Qin Yi.

Chu Jinyao has determined that this time it is for her. Everyone looked at Chu Jinyao vaguely or obviously, Xiao Qi also took a sip of tea and asked, "Prince Princess, do you have something to say?"

Chu Jinyao didn't evade, even with a little smile, she looked at Empress Xiao Qi generously: "What is the meaning of Empress Empress, I don't understand."

"There are very few places to plant this kind of flowers. The Imperial Palace and Chengqian Palace are the places of the emperor, so there can be no mistakes, and the other place is the Qi De Hall."

"Yes, my concubine knows it." Chu Jinyao responded with a smile, "So what?"

Empress Xiao Qi didn't bother to go around with Chu Jinyao again, and put her face down and said: "Everyone who says that is clear is clear. This palace believes in the character of the princess, so it must not tolerate someone playing tricks and slander the princess's reputation. The pity girl needs to rest, so let her rest first, and take a trip to the Kyde Hall in this palace to see what is going on with this kind of petals."

Chu Jinyao smiled. After Xiao Qi was going to the East Palace, which of the other concubines dared to go back, a group of people walked toward the Qi De Hall mightily.

Xiao Qi followed Chu Jinyao all the way, not letting her send someone back to report the news. When he arrived at the Qi De Hall, Xiao Qi did not pay attention to the palace **** who had knelt on the ground, but went straight to the flower garden.

"Manny, look!"

Xiao Qi nodded: "It turned out to be this, so it seems that the petals are the same." Xiao Qi said and looked at Chu Jinyao: "Prince Princess, this palace knows that you love to play with flowers and plants, but this involves the rules of the harem, the prince. Your life is always more important than other things. I want people to check these flowers, the princess doesn't mind, right?"

"The queen can dig if she wants to dig." Chu Jinyao thought Empress Xiao Qi was ridiculous. It's already this point, so why be ashamed.

Xiao Qi also sneered, and then ordered: "Come here, dig out these flowers."

The neat and beautiful flower garden was immediately frustrated, Linglong looked angry, while Chu Jinyao looked at it calmly, without moving her eyebrows.

The **** holding the **** suddenly screamed, he hurriedly bent over and dug out a wooden box from the soil: "Manny, there is something in the soil!"

There was a high and low gasp sound from behind, Xiao Qi looked at the box and looked at Chu Jinyao suspiciously: "Prince Concubine, what's the matter?"
