Chapter 71 Concubine Mei's Child is Gone
After a period of chaos, Concubine Mei and Concubine Zhu were finally pulled out of the water by two old women who were good at swimming.
He also asked someone to invite the palace doctor over. Don't forget that Concubine Mei is pregnant with a child!
Concubine Mei was surrounded by two maids. Her clothes and hair were wet. The summer clothes were thin and even slightly transparent when they stuck to her body.
But she didn't care about this at all, she just looked at her lower body in fear, her voice trembling, and she was terrified: "Child, my child,
What happened to my child? Save my child! "
But as everyone looked, not only the lower body of Concubine Mei, but even the water where Concubine Mei had just been fished out was a pool of blood red.
Soon someone came over with a thin blanket, "Don't worry, my two masters, these thin blankets are all clean, cover them first."
Since it was close to the water, the maids arranged by the princess were all good at swimming, and she also specifically instructed them to prepare clean blankets or clothes for replacement at any time to prevent anyone from accidentally falling into the water.
Concubine Zhu immediately wrapped herself in a thin blanket, but Concubine Mei kept pushing it away and refusing.
"No, I don't want it. I want my child. I want to see my child."
Seeing the princess from afar, Concubine Mei broke free from everyone and immediately moved towards the princess.
"Princess, please save my child, I beg you."
No one could bear to look at Concubine Mei. She had lost so much blood, and judging from her condition, it was likely that the child would be difficult to save.
This was the fact. The court doctor hurried over and took Concubine Mei's pulse directly.
Facing the extremely expectant eyes of Concubine Mei, the palace doctor turned to look at the princess and said with a bow, "Master Mei should not be moved for the time being. She needs to rest well."
Today's yard was not close to here. Who knows why these two people came here? It is completely different from the yard of the women in the backyard.
It seems that it is impossible to send it back directly.
The princess nodded and said: "Send Concubine Mei to the nearby Cailianfang to cultivate herself well."
The court doctor did not directly answer the question about the child's condition, but Concubine Mei understood everything instantly.
She covered her belly with one hand: "Child, my child..."
Originally there was a little life here, but now there is nothing.
Concubine Mei burst into tears and suddenly looked at the princess with a sad and angry tone.
"Please, Princess, I didn't fall down on purpose. Someone pushed me from behind on purpose."
The princess looked at the other person who fell into the water and asked: "Did someone deliberately harm you?"
Who pushed two people into the water at once?
But Mei Concubine continued, "No, Princess, there were only me and Zhu Concubine there just now, and it was Zhu Concubine who pushed me!"
Concubine Bamboo pushed Concubine Plum?
Everyone was shocked.
Concubine Zhu immediately shook her head in denial: "No, I didn't!"
Ji Yunqing listened with great curiosity. Haven’t these two always had a good relationship?
How could this happen?
Concubine Zhu knelt down, tears in her eyes: "Princess, please understand, I did not push Sister Mei, I really did not?"
She had thought about it, but she really didn't push it.
"How could it not be?"
The plum concubine ate the bamboo concubine's flesh and said, "It's you. Don't think I don't know. You often look at my abdomen. Isn't it because it's annoying?"
"I did that because..."
Concubine Zhu kept shaking her head: "That's because, when I saw your child, I was thinking that if my child was still alive, he would be this big, right?"
The two of them were pregnant at very close dates, and whenever Concubine Zhu saw Concubine Mei's belly, she would think of her own child.
The child was clearly here, but the mother was incompetent and couldn't protect the child.
So why did she feel that this child was an eyesore?
But Mei Shi Concubine still insisted on her own judgment: "It was Zhu Shi Concubine who did it, it was her"
As she spoke, she struggled vigorously and wrestled with her concubine Zhu.
"master!"
"Concubine"
"Don't be impulsive!"
The servants of both sides also followed to protect their masters or help their masters.
The princess's face grew darker as she looked at the chaotic scene before her.
"Someone! Separate these two!"
The princess' voice contained an endless chill, which frightened Ji Yunqing.
She looked at the two men with lingering fear, and thought to herself, Concubine Zhu's expression didn't seem fake, could it really be an accident?
But Concubine Mei also spoke with certainty!
In an instant, Ji Yunqing thought of the inexplicable accidents that had happened to Concubine Gao and Concubine Qian before, which were also said to be accidents.
But the spices that appeared out of nowhere in Concubine Qian's room didn't seem like an accident at all!
And Concubine Zhu and Concubine Zhao are so stupid?
He drugged his concubine Zhu and left a big bottle of evidence?
Concubine Zhao hid the medicine so carefully, but still, Madam Lou found it?
What if someone else found this medicine?
Ji Yunqing's mind was in a mess and he felt overwhelmed.
This King Zhao is really useless. Will he die of exhaustion if he just manages the government?
Here, the two finally separated. The princess did not listen to their conversation, but took everyone to the place where the two fell to check the situation.
The princess looked at her from a few meters away and nodded to Nanny Lou.
Nanny Lou immediately stepped forward, looking carefully step by step, searching every inch of the place with a serious gaze.
Finally, he squatted down at a place and touched it tentatively with his hand.
Finally, he came back to report: "Princess, I found a small pit in that place. According to my observation, there should be a stone there that was loose and the two concubines slipped and stepped into it.
In addition, I found some fragrant oil in the cracks.”
sesame oil?
The princess' eyes flashed. So this was man-made?
Concubine Mei also heard this answer and stared blankly in the direction where the person fell into the water.
"But how could anyone know in advance that Concubine Mei would be standing here?"
Ji Yunqing couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
The princess glanced at her and explained, "Because the view is good here, and this place is relatively stable."
After the question was answered, Ji Yunqing became a little bolder and asked again: "But this place is not close to Mingyue Garden. Who would have thought that someone would come here?"
This time, the princess did not answer, but Concubine Wen asked impatiently: "Why do you have so many questions?
Who would normally come here? It's only today because it's close, and if someone wants to talk or is bored, isn't it reasonable to come here?"
"Oh"
After being scolded by Concubine Wen, who was not gentle but still answered the questions, Ji Yunqing became completely obedient.
The princess ordered an investigation into the use of fragrant oil by people in the palace.
Only the kitchen in the mansion uses sesame oil.
Therefore, the first people to be investigated were the unlucky people in the kitchen.
After some questioning, the result was quickly revealed.
The kitchen is busy today, but few people who enter the kitchen can come here.
After eliminating other options, there are three people who are most likely to be suspected.
One is Mei's maid, Ximei.
The second one was Wang Shifei's personal maid. According to Wang Shifei, she wanted to eat a certain dish today, so she asked the kitchen to see if they had it, and if not, could they make a separate portion for her.
The third one was Zhu Shifei’s maid, who went to the kitchen with Ximei.
