Looking at Nangong Ning’s bright smile, Princess Qingle knew that her gift was really loved by the other party. As the person who gave it, she was very happy too.
Seeing her daughter being so close to Nangong Ning, the hatred in her eyes almost burst out.
“Qingyi!” She suppressed her anger and called out.
The expression on Princess Qingle’s small face fell. Nangong Ning was a little unhappy when he saw this and coldly looked at Consort An.
She had never seen a woman like Concubine An before. She had clearly acted on purpose again. Otherwise, why would there be so much blood on her dress?
Last time, in order to harm her, she used Princess Qingle as a chess piece, but this time? She actually took the unborn baby in her stomach! Nangong Ning really wanted to curse her that she had better be infertile, that she was not worthy of being a mother!
Princess Qingle looked at Nangong Ning, then at Concubine Mei. Ka couldn’t bear it and took the initiative to say, “Your Highness, Namef4 is here to take the bracelet. Even if she really met Consort An, she didn’t do it on purpose.”
The Emperor nodded.
Un, Princess Qingle suddenly said, “I didn’t bump into the Mother Consort!”
The Emperor looked at Princess Qingle with surprise while Consort An cried out anxiously, “Qingyue, you…”
Princess Qingle quickly walked to the Emperor and looked at the Emperor. “Emperor Father, the moment her son entered the hall, she wanted to hug him. Her son hid for a while and the concubine suddenly said that her stomach hurts. She looked like the concubine at the time…” She looked at her and said timidly, “It is scary. My son is also frightened.”
The Emperor looked at his daughter’s scared little face and his heart ached. Of course, he would not doubt Princess Qingle’s words, so he looked at Consort An in doubt.
Concubine An was flustered.
Initially, the situation she had mentioned was similar to what Princess Qingle had said, but she did not expect Princess Qingle to be able to describe the situation.
“Your Highness, at that time… I really didn’t hold the princess…”
“You didn’t hold the princess, which means that the princess didn’t touch you at all. What you said just now was an accident with the princess. Concubine An, Princess Qingle is your biological daughter. How can you blame everything on a child like her? What do you want to do?” Queen Xun seized the opportunity and questioned with deep hatred and resentment.
He let go of the arm supporting Consort An.
Concubine An froze and quickly sat up straight. She bowed to the Phoenix Sky Emperor on the bed.
“Your Highness, I didn’t say anything just now. What’s more, I was clearly fine at that time. It was only when I was happy that she came to Qingqing… Even though I love Qingqie, I also value this person in my stomach. I couldn’t help but think of it together.”
When Queen Xun heard this, she felt that this b*tch was really shameless. She wanted to say something but the Phoenix Sky Emperor glanced at her coldly.
Queen Xun’s expression changed and her lips tightened.
Nangong Ning smirked silently. Concubine An knew how to use her advantage right now. She knew that the Emperor valued the child in her womb, so she decided to talk about it.
Concubine An cried in a low voice. While crying, she was caressing her belly with an uneasy look on her face.
Queen Xun wanted to kill her but it caused the Phoenix Emperor’s heart to soften.
“Alright, Mo Yuxiu is crying. You really didn’t say that Qingyi hit you.”
Concubine An stopped crying, but her eyes were soaked in tears, so her current appearance became more and more lovingly pathetic.
The Emperor looked even gentler when he saw her.
When Queen Xun saw this, she felt her heart was burning with anger but she could only endure it.
Concubine Mei was still calm.
Nangong Ning gently pursed his lips. She felt that things were not over yet.
This time, Concubine An did not hesitate to use the unborn child in her womb as a trap. How could she end it like this?
Sure enough, Concubine An suddenly twisted her brows, and Chu Chu’s face showed a hint of pain and unbearable.
“Consort, what’s wrong with you?” The Emperor was shocked when he saw her.
Consort An frowned and said, “Emperor, Your Highness, the feeling from before is coming again. Your servant concubine’s stomach hurts.”
When the Emperor heard this, he quickly called Imperial Doctor Song. Imperial Doctor Song went over and grabbed Concubine An’s pulse.
“How is it?” The Emperor asked anxiously.
Imperial Doctor Song quickly retracted his hand and said, “Back to the Emperor, the mother’s mind is indeed a little anxious, and it’s also a little emotional.”
“How can this be?” The Emperor was uneasy and suspicious. He turned his eyes and saw Princess Qingle beside him.
Princess Qingle looked terrified when she saw this. She took a few steps back. Concubine Mei hugged her and gently patted her body to comfort her.
Nangong Ning also looked at Princess Qingle. She raised her wrist and the poison bracelet didn’t respond. Hence, Qingle had no poison on her and the people around her were not poisonous.
Concubine Mei looked at the Phoenix Sky Emperor and said, “Your Highness, why don’t you let me take the princess away first?”
Phoenix Sky Emperor was also suspicious at this moment, but Qingyi clearly did not know anything. He was just about to agree to Concubine Mei when a small lotus bag fell from Princess Qingle.
“What is this?” The one who spoke was Nangong Ning.
She didn’t want Concubine Mei to take Princess Qingle away now. Since Consort An’s situation had started, then she had to finish her acting in the end.
As she said this, she went over to pick up the little lotus bag. The little lotus bag was a rough embroidery, and it looked like it was bought from a small stall outside the palace.
As the only princess of the Donglai calendar and the favored daughter of the heavens, Princess Qingle certainly wouldn’t be worthy of wearing such a rough object.
“Isn’t this a princess?” Nangong Ning asked.
Princess Qingle looked confused and shook her head. “This isn’t mine, I don’t have this.”
“But this fell from your sleeve, Princess,” Nangong Ning looked at her and said.
Princess Qingle was only a few years old, so how could she know too many twists and turns?
Looking at Princess Qingle’s appearance, everyone present understood that there were ghosts in this lotus bag.
Nangong Ning glanced at the expressions on everyone’s faces and gently smiled.
This wallet must have been arranged by Consort An, but she wanted to strike first to gain the initiative and take the initiative to reveal this suspicion.
In this way, no matter who Concubine An was plotting today, she could give the calculator a chance to prove herself.
Nangong Ning took the pouch and walked to the Phoenix Sky Emperor. He said in a clear voice, “Your Highness, this pouch is suspicious.”
Annie looked at Nangong Ning’s movements and her brows moved. She felt her stomach tighten.
She unconsciously held her belly and felt a bad feeling in her heart.
The Emperor nodded. This lotus bag was suspicious just by looking at the embroidery worker.
Nangong Ning opened the pouch and took out a small piece of cinnabar, the size of an ordinary index fingernail.
As soon as the small piece was taken out, a fragrance spread.
“It smells good,” Nangong Ning furrowed his brows. She had already confirmed that it was not poisonous, but the fragrance was so strong that it wasn’t good.
Imperial Doctor Song saw it and walked over. He took a closer look and said, “This is a degenerate.”
Nangong Ning looked at Imperial Doctor Song with surprise.
Imperial Doctor Song said, “Miss Nangong, take this thing and don’t get too close to the Queen Mother An.”
Nangong Ning listened and walked away obediently, asking directly, “Can’t you use this fragrance for pregnant women?”
“Yes, although this fragrance is rare, and the smell is strong. It is a high-grade fragrance among spices and can even be used, but it is extremely dark and cold. There is also its fragrance that can live and live. If pregnant women smell too much, they can even slip.” Imperial Doctor Song said calmly.
Everyone changed when they heard this.
The Emperor shouted angrily, “Why don’t you throw it out?”
Nangong Ning held the piece of incense in his palm while Imperial Doctor Song said, “Your Highness, although this thing is scary, it will be fine as long as it is three steps away from him.”
The Emperor was still frowning.
Queen Xun looked at Consort An and asked in an uncertain tone, “Is this the reason why Consort An’s baby is unstable?”
Imperial Doctor Song didn’t dare to say it absolutely and replied, “Probably right, at that time, the Empress Dowager wanted to hug the princess. Although the princess avoided it, the two of them were definitely close to each other. At that time, the princess had this thing on her, which was why her fetus was unstable, but…”
Nangong Ning quickly took the words and asked, “Imperial Doctor Song, what is it?”
Imperial Doctor Song was really confused and said, “I just think that even if the baby doesn’t move steadily, Mrs. An won’t bleed so much. There is too much blood.”
Nangong Ning nodded faintly.
When Concubine An heard this, her expression changed. “It’s been less than two months since my pregnancy, and the baby’s appearance is still unstable. It’s normal for you to react like this when you smell it. Imperial Doctor Song, aren’t you being too arbitrary!”
Un, Imperial Doctor Song did not kneel under these harsh words. Instead, he insisted, “Even if the mother’s pregnancy is less than a month, it won’t be so.”
“You!” Consort An was so angry that she turned to the Phoenix Heaven Emperor and angrily said, “Your Highness, look at Imperial Doctor Song, he is…”
“Your Highness, WeChen is only a speak the plain truth and has no intention of targeting the Queen Mother An. If the Emperor and the Empress Dowager didn’t believe it, they could call over all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Physician Court. They would say the same thing as Weichen, “Imperial Doctor Song said firmly as he knelt down to the Emperor.
Seeing Imperial Doctor Song kneeling straight like a pine nut, there was a trace of indignation on his face.
He didn’t know what to say.
Imperial Doctor Song was the chief doctor of the Imperial Hospital, so his medical skills could not be wrong. His words were naturally true, and there was no need for him to really announce all the physicians to prove it. If he really did that, not only would it chill his courtiers, it would also ruin his emperor’s bearing.
