Chapter 634 The one who really did something
Everyone immediately bowed: "Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"
After Nangong Xuanyu left, the remaining people either sincerely or pretended to care about Concubine Hao for a few words, and then left one after another.
In the end, only Concubine Liang and Concubine Wu remained in Shuiyuexuan.
Originally, having learned many new and strange magic tricks, Wu Changzai was confident that she could attract the emperor's attention in the following period of time.
Unexpectedly, because of Concubine Hao, she would no longer be able to perform the new skills she had worked so hard to learn!
It was a lie for Concubine Wu to say in her heart that she did not blame Concubine Hao.
But she was vying for favor only for her younger brother and had no intention of becoming an enemy of Concubine Hao.
Wu Changzai was also worried that if Concubine Hao gave birth to a prince in the future, she would be honored as a mother by her son and would resent her for what happened today.
So, she bowed to Concubine Hao again and apologized, "Concubine Hao, what happened today was really just an accident. I will never perform magic tricks in the palace again. I hope you don't take it to heart."
Regardless of whether this was an accident or not, who can have a good face towards someone who caused their miscarriage?
Concubine Hao snorted coldly and ignored Concubine Wu.
Although Concubine Liang did not want her chess pieces to have too good a relationship, as it would make it difficult for her to control them if they were so closely connected.
But she also doesn't want their relationship to become too strained or even to the point of them oppressing each other.
Wouldn't this allow outsiders to take advantage?
So at this moment, Concubine Liang took Concubine Hao's hand with one hand and Concubine Wu's hand with the other, and put their hands together.
She smiled, her voice extremely gentle: "Well, your majesty has said that no one could have expected what happened today, and Sister Wu did not do it on purpose."
"My two sisters, we have known each other for a long time. Just give me a favor and make peace from now on, okay?"
Wu Changzai naturally had no objection.
These days, under the careful care of Concubine Liang, Concubine Hao had already regarded her as her own sister.
Since Concubine Liang said so, what else can Concubine Hao do?
The two of them shook hands and made peace temporarily.
Wu Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
At least in the short term, she doesn't have to worry about being retaliated by Concubine Hao.
After talking for a while, seeing that Concubine Hao was tired, Concubine Liang said gently: "Sister Hao, you should have a good rest first. I will come to see you another day."
Concubine Hao nodded weakly: "Chu'er, help me send Concubine Liang out."
"Yes!"
Wu Changzai also left.
After leaving Shuiyue Pavilion, she knelt down to Concubine Liang: "If it weren't for Concubine Liang who repeatedly pleaded for me in front of Your Majesty today, I'm afraid I would have died or lost a layer of skin..."
"Empress Liang was the one who took charge and resolved the resentment that Concubine Hao had towards me."
"I really don't know how to repay your majesty for such great kindness..."
What Wu Changzai said was half true and half false.
She had long realized that Concubine Liang was mostly using her. She was not like Concubine Hao, who foolishly believed that Concubine Liang was really a kind person.
But in the palace now, the only one she can rely on is Concubine Liang. Wu Changzai still has to do some superficial work.
Concubine Liang gently helped Wu Changzai up from the ground and asked, "Sister Wu, what are you doing?"
"I have already said it before. In my heart, you and Sister Hao are no different from my biological sisters."
"How could I just sit there and watch you get blamed by His Majesty because of the misunderstanding between you and Sister Hao?"
Next, the two of them exchanged some polite words before Wu Changzai thanked the emperor profusely and took his leave.
In the evening, Doctor Xu went to Changchun Palace in a low-key manner.
After the ceremony, he said solemnly, "… Madam Liang Fei, I have temporarily saved Concubine Hao's pregnancy. But there is one thing I dare not make a decision on my own, so please give me your instructions, Madam Liang Fei."
Concubine Liang put down the teacup in her hand and said calmly, "What's the matter?"
Doctor Xu signaled Concubine Liang to dismiss her attendants, leaving only Ruoli to serve in the inner room. He then lowered his voice and said, "Concubine Hao's pregnancy is really unstable. If we want to ensure that the heir is born safely, we have to use drastic measures!"
"This kind of medicine nourishes the fetus by absorbing the mother's qi and blood."
"Even if Concubine Hao's heir can survive until the birth, she herself will die from a lack of energy and blood and a difficult birth..."
Concubine Liang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and frowned reluctantly: "How could this be?"
Doctor Xu sighed and said, "The current situation is that only one of Concubine Hao and the heir can be saved."
"If you want Concubine Hao to be safe, you have no choice but to abandon the heir to the throne."
"If you want an heir, Concubine Hao will definitely die during childbirth. But even so, I dare not guarantee that the heir can be saved..."
"Please give me some advice, Madam Liangfei..."
Liang Fei's compassionate eyes were filled with pity. She was silent for a long time before she sighed, "All the fetuses in the world are gifts from God. What qualifications do I have to deprive them of their right to come into the world?"
Doctor Xu understood what she meant and bowed his head and said, "Please rest assured, Concubine Liang, I will spare no effort to save Concubine Hao's fetus!"
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Handan stood behind Shen Zhinian, removing the hairpins from her head while curiously asking, "Madam, do you think what happened today was really an accident?"
Fuqiu guessed from the side: "Look at how frightened Concubine Wu is, she probably doesn't have the guts to murder the heir to the throne..."
Shen Zhinian shook his head: "Noble Lady Hao had a miscarriage. Concubine Wu might not have done it on purpose, but it was not an accident."
The day Chu Xiyan confessed her identity to Shen Zhinian, she also told her something.
At that time, Liu Shiqing was still Concubine Shu. She thought that Concubine Liang had replaced all her staff in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so she wanted to find an opportunity to set a trap for Concubine Liang.
But Concubine Liang is a cautious person. How could it be so easy for Concubine Shu to frame her?
Therefore, Concubine Shu turned her attention to the palace concubines who had defected to Concubine Liang.
In the end, she chose Wu Changzai.
It happened that during that period, Wu Changzai was practicing magic tricks under the guidance of Concubine Liang. Concubine Shu ordered people to tamper with the props that Wu Changzai usually used.
The thrush was secretly fed drugs. Once it left the cage and flew into an unfamiliar environment, it would go crazy!
After the madness, the effect of the drug will disappear and its mind will return to normal. That's why Su Quanye didn't find anything unusual today.
In Shufei's original plan, Wu Changzai was Liangfei's person. No matter who she hurt while performing magic tricks, Shufei could always blame it on Liangfei.
It's a pity... Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation.
Before this plan could succeed, Concubine Shu was demoted to a commoner and sent to the cold palace.
Because Concubine Hao was also Concubine Liang's person, Concubine Liang resolved the matter with just a few words.
All the plans that Liu Shiqing had set up long ago came to nothing!
