Chapter 473 An Unforgettable New Year
This was an unforgettable New Year. On New Year's Eve, two high-ranking concubines suffered miscarriages in succession.
Let’s put aside whether it’s auspicious or not, these are all royal heirs!
But the cause of the incident was extremely absurd.
It's so ridiculous that no one would believe it if you told it to others.
The Imperial Concubine and Concubine Xian fought each other in front of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, resulting in a miscarriage.
Isn't this just like a shrew in the market?
Even a shrew won't fight with others when she's pregnant!
It is said that the emperor was almost made sick by anger.
Three days later, Gao Xiyue's punishment was announced.
She was stripped of her title of noble concubine and demoted to a concubine.
The reason why the punishment was so light was that Gao Bin of the previous dynasty risked his reputation to plead for his daughter.
Another reason was that Gao Xiyue was found to be poisoned.
It is also a mental toxin that can cause people to have bad tempers, mental confusion, and fetal deformities.
Hongli was furious when he heard this. The facts about Bai Ruiji's pregnancy and Yueying's poisoning and miscarriage had not been fully investigated.
Here comes another poisoned person.
Where is the palace?
This is clearly a drug den!
"Investigate! Investigate for me! If you can't find out clearly, you will be beheaded!"
Hongli was really angry this time. On the surface, he sent Wang Qin and others, but in fact he also used the blood-dripping dagger left by the previous emperor.
And the secret guards he trained himself.
After all, he is not very reassuring to use other people's things. Although he has been on the throne for a short time, he has also cultivated some things when he was in the palace.
Originally, the Chinese New Year should be lively and festive.
As a result, the whole thing was even more solemn and eerie than when the previous emperor passed away.
The eunuchs and palace maids walking in the palace were all in a hurry and didn't even dare to look up.
Jinzhong has been promoted a lot these days, and his position is at least similar to that of his master Li Yu.
So he was also involved in this palace search.
In fact, he had a guess in his mind that it might be Master Chen who did it, but he felt it was strange and unlikely.
And as he continued to investigate, he actually found out something.
In the Yanxi Palace——
Ruyi lay on the bed as if dead, with only her chest still rising and falling slightly.
Hailan sat beside the bed and looked at her with a distressed expression.
Ruyi didn't cry much, but Hailan's eyes were swollen.
The eldest prince was standing beside her bed, and he said with concern:
"Don't be sad, mother. You and the emperor will definitely have children in the future!"
That being said, when he learned that Ruyi had a miscarriage, his first reaction was joy.
Only a mother who cannot give birth is a good mother!
Hearing the eldest prince's words, a line of tears rolled down Ruyi's eyes.
She already feels that her body is not as strong as before, so how can she still want to have a baby?
It’s not certain whether you can get pregnant!
When she thought of this, her hatred for Gao Xiyue burst out and she wished she could kill him with her own hands.
Xianfu Palace——
Gao Xiyue was also in tears. Her health, which was not very good to begin with, became even worse after this ordeal.
But she didn't think it was her fault.
"Ruyi, it's all Ruyi's fault! That bitch!!"
Gao Xiyue clutched the quilt beneath her tightly with both hands, her face looking as ferocious as a ghost.
She felt that it was all the other party's fault. If she hadn't stood on her side for no reason, why would she have argued with her?
Now that I have lost my child, I have also lost my position as Imperial Concubine and am only a concubine!
A concubine! Even one level lower than Ruyi.
No, she didn’t have a title, in fact it should be one and a half levels lower!
Gao Xiyue was madly beating the quilt on her body like crazy.
The drugs she was given did make her mentally manic.
It's just that there were too many people who drugged her, and for a moment it was hard to tell whether it was the Queen Mother, Su Lian, or Jin Yuyan.
It is also possible that mixed poison has already occurred.
Qixiang Palace——
Jin Yuyan has been in a good mood these days.
She didn't care how the search went on outside. She was the only pregnant woman left in the palace, and she was so happy.
As a result, I have eaten more these days.
Shuzhen was also smiling, "Now the master is the only pregnant woman in the palace. After giving birth to a precious child, the emperor will definitely pay great attention to her!"
"This way, we can help the prince!"
Jin Yuyan's eyes were full of excitement. She felt that the baby in her belly was starting to become active. She was even a little hungry.
"Go and bring some more snacks. My mother's little brother is getting hungry again."
She touched her belly gently, with a look of happiness on her face.
Pregnancy is secondary, being able to help the prince is the main thing!
She is willing to do anything as long as she can help the other person.
......................................
Time passed quietly and the first month of the year came to February.
And Hongli has not recovered from the shock of this month.
Especially after seeing the results of the secret guards' investigation.
In the Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Hongli sat on the dragon throne with a terribly gloomy face.
He held a few pieces of paper in his hands, and the survey results on them shocked him.
There are people doing this in this palace and that in that palace. The whole Forbidden City is like a sieve!
Two of them had the most problems.
Gao Xiyue, Jin Yuyan.
It was discovered that they had attacked other palaces many times. Although the evidence was not conclusive, the crime was confirmed as long as there was a suspicion.
Hongli didn't even need to capture the personal maids around them and torture them, as he had already determined that the two were guilty.
His original intention was to find out who was behind this and catch him and punish him severely.
But there are a lot of people now.
In addition to Gao Xiyue and Jin Yuyan, there are also some problems with the Queen and the Queen Mother.
Were they all killed?
That's certainly not possible.
Gao Xiyue is a fool, he thinks he can put it aside for now.
As for Jin Yuyan, he wanted her to give birth to the child and then die.
I have already lost four children, this one must be born!
As for the Queen and the Queen Mother, they also need to be disciplined.
Hongli thought for a long time and finally gave the order.
He took out a list and said, "Find all the people on this list and beat them to death with sticks."
The voice was plain, but to Wang Qin's ears it sounded like a death warrant.
He bowed his head respectfully, raised his hands above his head, and caught the thin piece of paper.
It seems insignificant, but it represents human lives!
The harem, which had just calmed down, is about to be in chaos again!
——Yongshou Palace——
"Master, this is the scented tea I made. Please try it and see if it tastes good."
Hongyue came in with a tray, speaking in a cheerful tone.
In her opinion, although her master was not pregnant, the other pregnant concubines also did not give birth.
This is considered smoothing it out.
Even though a lot of people were killed in the palace these days, it was none of her business.
It is worth mentioning that some palace maids and eunuchs from the Yongshou Palace were also captured.
It is said that he was a spy planted by another palace.
A major purge was carried out in the entire harem, and anyone with any signs of corruption was strangled to death.
Recruit new people again. The last thing we lack is people.
