After hearing this, everyone was surprised: "I didn't expect that even though Liu was sent to the cold palace, such a scheme long ago could still cause Concubine Hao to have a miscarriage."
"What a pity. If Liu was still Consort Shu, she might have been able to pin what happened during the day on Consort Liang."
Shen Zhinian shook his head: "If Wu Chang hurt other people when performing magic, we can also say that this might have been instigated by Concubine Liang."
"But everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Liang has always regarded Concubine Hao as her own sister. Since Concubine Hao became pregnant, she has taken care of her meticulously."
"It is impossible for anyone to harm Concubine Hao, not Concubine Liang."
Handan snorted coldly: "If someone is being nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief."
"Empress Liang is so kind to Concubine Hao. She knows exactly what she is planning!"
"But, Madam..."
At this point, Handan looked at Shen Zhinian and said, "Since this was done by Liu, should we report the truth to His Majesty?"
"Liu is already a criminal. If this matter is exposed, her crime will be even more serious!"
Shen Zhinian did not agree to this proposal: "It is not appropriate to beat a drowning dog in every situation."
"The heir is safe. His Majesty only gave Concubine Wu a light punishment and a severe warning. Even if he knew the truth, do you think he would severely punish Liu?"
"Besides, the Ministry of Punishment did not find anything unusual today. How can I get evidence to prove that this was done by Liu?"
"By then, people will think that Liu has been sent to the cold palace, and I still can't tolerate her."
People will subconsciously favor the weak.
Especially men.
If Nangong Xuanyu developed sympathy for Liu because of this incident, it would be a loss.
Handan nodded: "I understand."
"My lady, I feel that even if we let Lady Liu go this time, we should let Lady Hao know the truth."
"Let her understand that it was because Liu wanted to take revenge on Concubine Liang that she got miscarried."
"In this way, if there are any problems with the royal heir in the future, Concubine Hao will feel deep down that Concubine Liang has a share of responsibility."
"Even if she doesn't become estranged from Concubine Liang because of this, there will be a slight rift in her heart."
"How does that saying go? A thousand-mile dam can be destroyed by an ant hole!"
Shen Zhinian glanced at Handan with appreciation: "I think so too."
"In that case, let's do as you say."
Shen Zhinian wanted to let Concubine Hao know the true face of Concubine Liang, but Concubine Liang was too good at disguising herself, so she never found a chance.
Through this incident, it would be a good idea to plant a thorn between Concubine Hao and Concubine Liang.
……
Shuiyuexuan.
Chu Er brought the boiled medicine up and said, "My lady, it's time to drink the medicine to stabilize the pregnancy."
Lady Hao frowned slightly: "I feel that the more I drink this pregnancy-preserving medicine, the weaker my body will become..."
Chu Er said patiently, "My lady, the pregnancy-maintaining medicine you drank these days was carefully prepared by Doctor Xu."
"Didn't you also say that after drinking it, you never felt the dull pain in your stomach again?"
Lady Hao nodded: "That's true."
"On the day I had my first miscarriage, I felt uncomfortable in my abdomen. I was afraid that if I wasn't careful, the heir would leave me..."
"After taking the pregnancy-preserving medicine for a few days, all the discomfort in my stomach disappeared. This shows that the pregnancy-preserving medicine prepared by Doctor Xu is really excellent."
"Bring it here."
Chu Er responded with a "yes" and fed the whole bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine to Concubine Hao: "My lady, have a piece of candied fruit to dilute the bitter taste."
The two of them have been together for so long, how could Concubine Hao not notice that Chu'er had been a little absent-minded today.
After she finished eating the candied fruit, she asked gently, "Chu'er, what happened outside?"
Chu Er's eyes flickered, and she subconsciously avoided Concubine Hao's gaze: "Nothing... nothing..."
"My lady, just rest assured and take care of your baby. Don't think too much..."
Concubine Hao frowned and said in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you not to hide anything from me?"
"You don't want me to go out and ask someone else if you don't tell me?"
Chu Er hurriedly said, "My lady, please don't get out of bed. I will tell you..."
"When I came back from the Imperial Hospital to get medicine today, I heard some people talking on the palace road. They said... that Concubine Wu's thrush was tampered with by someone before Liu was banished to the cold palace..."
"Her goal is to make Concubine Wu make a mistake so that she can implicate Concubine Liang."
"Liu and Concubine Liang were fighting, but you were innocently implicated..."
Concubine Hao grabbed the quilt tightly: "What did you say?!"
"People out there really say that?!"
Chu Er nodded: "This is what I heard."
"My lady, would you like to report this matter to Her Majesty and ask her to severely punish Liu?"
Although Concubine Hao was angry, she was not completely overwhelmed: "Although Liu was banished to the cold palace, she is the biological mother of the eldest princess after all. I don't have any evidence, but just a few rumors you heard have caused His Majesty to make a big fuss. What do you think His Majesty will think?"
"Your Majesty is already displeased with me because I failed to protect the heir, and I am stirring up trouble in the harem... No!"
Chu Er thought about it and felt that it was true. She couldn't help but mutter, "Liu is really lucky this time! She is so vicious, she deserves to be banished to the cold palace!"
"But I think what those people are saying may not be without reason. If you were not close to Concubine Liang, how could you be implicated by her?"
"There are so many people in the palace who are jealous of Concubine Liang. She is one of the four concubines, and no one can do anything to her. You have a good relationship with Concubine Liang, so you are a sitting duck in the eyes of those people..."
Concubine Hao sternly rebuked: "Shut up!"
"Empress Liang has been so kind to me, how could you plot against her behind her back?!"
"If you let me hear you say something like this again, you won't have to serve me anymore!"
Chu Er had never seen Concubine Hao get so angry before, and immediately knelt on the ground in fear: "My lady, calm down!"
"I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again..."
Concubine Hao waved her hand and said, "Get out!"
Chu Er was afraid that if she continued to stay here, Concubine Hao would get even angrier, so she had no choice but to leave, wiping away her tears: "I'll take my leave..."
Perhaps because she was too excited, Concubine Hao suddenly felt a dull pain in her stomach...
Even though she kept telling herself that Concubine Liang was so good to her, she shouldn't harbor any grudges against her because of other people's gossip.
But Chu'er's words still lingered in Hao Guiren's ears like a spell.
She couldn't help but think that Liu wanted to use Wu Changzai to plot against Concubine Liang, but in the end, she became the unlucky person...
If anything happens to the royal heir, wouldn't it be indirectly caused by Concubine Liang?
