Imperial Doctor Song, who was pulled out of the room, was stunned for a moment and said, “Your Highness, the aroma does have this effect.”
The Emperor nodded. He was not suspicious of the young man in front of him.
“Mr. Xiao, this pouch is yours. Do you know that this lilo fragrance is not good for pregnant women?”
Mr. Xiao nodded. “The pregnant women are weak and they are suitable for using spices. Not only the fragrance of the aroma, most spices are forbidden.”
When the Emperor listened, he revealed a look of condescension and asked, “Did you lose this pouch, Mr. Xiao?”
“Really?” Mr. Xiao looked uncertain as he didn’t continue. He said, “Your Highness, I heard that the mother of the Lihua Palace has moved her baby. It is related to the fragrance of the luluo, so I came.”
“You’re here to tell Young Master that this is yours?” The Emperor looked at him and asked.
At this moment, no one knew what Mr. Xiao was trying to do.
If others didn’t say it, Nangong Ning and Consort An were very certain that this pouch wasn’t his at all. Then why did he come here to say that it was him?
Or did he have any intentions?
Nangong Ning couldn’t help but look at Concubine An. The doubts in her heart suddenly became heavy. She had just thought about not letting Consort An go. Could it be that Concubine An didn’t give up, so was Mr. Xiao the one step she arranged?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible.
Mr. Xiao noticed that he smiled at her, revealing an annoying expression in Nangong Ning’s eyes.
Nangong Ning clenched his fingers tightly, and his heart was on guard. He cursed at the man opposite him.
However, at this moment, Concubine An was also wondering if Mr. Xiao was arranged by Nangong Ning because she didn’t set up such a move. She wasn’t sure if Mr. Xiao was a friend or foe, so she felt extremely uneasy and wished that the man in front of her could quickly disappear.
“Yes, Your Highness.” Mr. Xiao ignored Nangong Ning’s gaze and said calmly, looking at the Phoenix Emperor.
The Emperor nodded. “Mr. Xiao will not harm the Imperial Consort. However, since this pouch belongs to you, this matter will have to be investigated from your side.”
“Yes, I will cooperate with Eunuch Gao,” Mr. Xiao said confidently.
The Emperor was satisfied, but at this moment, Consort An’s expression changed.
She was certain that Mr. Xiao was against her.
Initially, when Gao Huai went to investigate, she would blame the dead pieces she had arranged beforehand. This was only the settle a matter by leaving it unsettled, but now that Mr. Xiao stepped forward and led the lead to him, the dead chess she arranged would be useless.
Let’s not talk about what the results of this investigation will be, but this matter is completely out of her control.
It was fine if this matter was not investigated in the end. If it was investigated, what would she do?
Nangong Ning came over as well. She looked at Mr. Xiao suspiciously. Could Mr. Xiao help her?
No, she didn’t believe it!
Just as she was shocked, Mr. Xiao smiled at her.
Nangong Ning’s heart skipped a beat. Mr. Xiao suddenly turned to look at Consort An’s dress and said in surprise, “How is this Mother’s dress stained with chicken blood? How bad!”
The hall fell silent and everyone turned to look at Consort An’s dress.
“Chicken blood?” Nangong Ning was shocked. She knew that this blood wasn’t Consort An’s blood but she wasn’t sure what it was either.
Mr. Xiao nodded and said in be poker-faced, “Yes, this is chicken blood and it is also the blood of an old hen. It looks a little dark. If it is a rooster, the blood will be brighter.”
Nangong Ning looked at him in shock.
At this moment, everyone else looked at him in shock.
Mr. Xiao spread out his hands and asked, “Can’t you tell that this is chicken blood?”
Everyone said they really couldn’t see it.
“That’s right, chicken blood, human blood or pig blood are red. Most people can’t see it, but I have a good understanding of this and I can tell it all at once,” Mr. Xiao nodded and said seriously.
Nangong Ning expressed suspicion. Was anyone studying this?
He asked, “Mr. Xiao, is this really chicken blood?”
“Yes,” Mr. Xiao said with certainty.
The Emperor looked at Consort An suspiciously.
At this moment, Concubine An’s fingers were tightly clenched. Her knuckles were white as she tried her best to suppress her emotions that were about to collapse.
“Consort An, this is chicken blood?” The Emperor didn’t call her Imperial Consort but called her Consort An.
Concubine An raised her eyes and looked at the Phoenix Sky Emperor in delicate and touching. Of course, she didn’t dare admit it and said, “No, no… His Highness, I…”
“Don’t tell me, Young Master believes in Mr. Xiao,” the Phoenix Sky Emperor said with a furious tone.
Queen Xun suddenly said, “No wonder Imperial Doctor Song and Ning said that the blood on Consort An’s dress was a little strange. It turns out that it’s not human blood. If it’s chicken blood, then why did you say it’s your blood, and…”
Mr. Xiao looked seriously at the blood on Consort An’s dress and said, “If this is human blood, Mother An’nian will probably be born.”
As soon as he said this, everyone present still didn’t understand?
In addition, Imperial Doctor Song and Nangong Ning had also questioned the amount of blood. Everyone was certain that it was intentional by Annie.
Who would do such a thing in be rather baffling must have a purpose.
Many people thought about what had just happened.
To make people think that she was almost born, Concubine An put chicken blood on her dress. In order to make her plan more realistic, she didn’t hesitate to use her own daughter and even blamed Princess Qingle on the matter of her birth.
Thinking back to Princess Qingle’s fearful expression and her statement that she didn’t touch her mother, everyone felt a chill on Princess Qingle’s behalf!
It was still Queen Xun. She exclaimed, “Consort An, you actually used your child again!” Just now, you said that it was a princess who almost bumped into you. The princess is your biological flesh and blood, yet you actually used such a Trump card to let her… ”
Concubine Mei hugged Princess Qingle, who had a fearful expression on her face, and said to the Emperor, “Your Highness, the princess is still young. It is not appropriate to listen to such a thing. Let her bring the princess back first.”
The Emperor’s expression darkened. He glanced at his daughter and nodded.
Concubine Mei pulled Princess Qingle out and gave Nangong Ning a look, but Nangong Ning didn’t want to leave. He nodded at Khai. Namef4 didn’t bother too much, but took Princess Qingle out.
When he saw his daughter leave, the Emperor couldn’t help but point at Concubine An and tremble with anger.
Concubine An wanted to explain but she realized she had no way to explain.
Queen Xun was furious and said angrily, “Your Highness, Consort An is too much. I’ve never seen such a mother before. Last time… She was like this time. If Princess Qingle really thought that she had harmed the baby in the mother’s womb, the princess would be too pitiful.
The Phoenix Sky Emperor’s surge of great fury was also for this reason.
He favored Consort An but he didn’t allow her to murder his daughter again and again.
“An Xin butterfly, you’re so nice! Young Master really misjudged you!”
When she heard the Emperor call her name, Consort An knew that she had lost again.
She cried, “Your Highness, the minister’s concubine is just a mess for a moment, and I didn’t really want to hurt Qingyi. I even asked someone to send her to the side hall, just because I didn’t want her to get involved.”
“But you made everyone think that it was Qingyi who bumped into you. Do you think that sending Qingyi to the side hall is all your responsibility as a mother?” The Emperor asked coldly.
She didn’t know what to say.
However, she felt that the royal family had no children. Whether it was Princess Qingle or the unborn baby in her stomach, they were both her children and chess pieces that she could use.
The Emperor was furious.
Queen Xun observed the Phoenix Heaven Emperor’s expression and said in a timely manner, “Your Highness, Consort An is like this. I’m really scared. It seems like Princess Qingle can’t return to Lihua Palace.”
When Concubine An heard this, her eyes shot towards Queen Xun like knives. However, Queen Xun was not afraid. It was such a good opportunity for her to not stomp on the Fox beauty to death.
The Emperor was furious at this moment. He announced, “From now on, An Empire is no longer Princess Qingle’s mother’s concubine. From now on, Princess Qingle is the princess of my Eastern calendar!”
When Concubine An heard this, her expression was extremely ugly.
Mother was expensive, but her daughter became Princess Yu, while she herself was deprived of her mother-and-daughter relationship!
Queen Xun was stunned, Princess Yu? Isn’t that as honorable as her prince? She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but when she thought about how Consort An and Princess Qingle had nothing to do with her, she felt incredibly happy.
“His Majesty is wise.”
He ignored Queen Xun and looked at Consort An coldly. “Don’t worry, Young Master wanted to return your position this time, but now you have disappointed Young Master and repeatedly challenged your bottom line.” Therefore, you are neither Consort An nor Concubine An now. From now on, you are a noble and are grounded in Lihua Palace!
Concubine An trembled all over. She never imagined that she would lose even worse than last time. Last time, she had only lost the right to take care of Princess Qingle. This time, the Phoenix Emperor was really punishing her.
She was Concubine Anli not long ago, but now, she has become a noble? In fact, they had to be grounded for three months!
This time, Consort An… No, Angui is really crying.
The Emperor rolled his sleeves away from her extended hand and said in disgust, “In the past three months, you should know yourself well!”
After that, the Emperor turned and left.
When Queen Xun saw this, she quickly followed.
