Chapter 193
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician An has good intentions. Besides, even the diagnosis ordered by the Imperial Physician is the same. I think the Emperor will not blame her." Aunt Fu Fen could only reply.
Even though this was the case, Queen Xue's brows still couldn't relax: "Fu Fen, I'm really uneasy. You ask Dr. An to come as soon as possible. I have to ask for details."
"Yes, empress." Aunt Fu Fen replied immediately.
Empress Xue said in a slightly regretful tone: "I still thought that if Concubine Jiang Guifei could give birth to a prince, the harem would be more lively, but I didn't expect..."
"Your Majesty, don't think too much. It's hard to decide whether there will be misfortune or good fortune. My Majesty, you still have to put your body first," Aunt Fu Fen said.
Hearing this, Queen Xue's brows relaxed a little, and she nodded: "Yes, that's right, but I... forget it, you have restrained the people under you these days, I'm afraid you are going to cause trouble.
"
There were quite a few people like Empress Xue who were worried about the concubines around her, so all the palaces became much quieter for a while.
Everyone wants to know what is going on in Fuqing Palace, but no one dares to ask.
At this moment, no one dares to touch this bad luck.
In the Fuqing Palace, Concubine Jiang's eyes were red, she caressed her belly, and said in a confused voice: "Your Majesty, my concubine's child... what they said is not true, is it?"
Emperor Yongning opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, so he just held her hand and patted it lightly.
Concubine Jiang's tears instantly fell like pearls. She didn't cry out, she just cried silently, but her whole body was filled with sadness that seemed to seep out from deep in her heart, which touched Emperor Yongning's heart.
After all, she was the woman he had loved for so many years. Emperor Yongning felt his heart ached, hugged her into his arms, and comforted her: "My dear concubine, don't be sad, I will be there for everything."
Perhaps because she was hugged, or perhaps because she could no longer hold back, Concubine Jiang fell into Emperor Yongning’s arms and cried sadly: “Your Majesty, my concubine... I really want to give birth to a prince for your Majesty!
I am still thinking these days, after he is born, will his facial features look like the emperor's? Will his temperament be as naughty as Xiaojiu, but, but..."
She cried so hard that she couldn't breathe.
She closed her eyes, tightly grasped Emperor Yongning's hand, and shouted hoarsely: "Your Majesty, why is this concubine? Why does this happen to me? Your Majesty, I am in so much pain, I am in so much pain!"
Why is Emperor Yongning not suffering?
Even though it was painful to be held by Concubine Jiang, he did not let go of her hand and kept comforting her with gentle words.
If Concubine Jiang is pregnant and something unexpected happens, then that's it. Then he can still tell himself that Concubine Jiang did it on purpose and it was a sacrifice she made for the Jiang family.
But from beginning to end, she was not pregnant, which is another story.
Moreover, although Fan Zhishou did not dare to say it clearly, it meant that from now on, Concubine Jiang Gui could not get pregnant!
After Emperor Yongning learned this, his first thought was how he could conceal such news from Concubine Jiang.
But how can such a thing be concealed? Zhao Li is the imperial physician next to Jiang Guifei, how could the concubine not know about it?
At this time, Emperor Yongning was even glad that he was holding Concubine Jiang. Otherwise, looking at Concubine Jiang's sad eyes, he really didn't know how to face it.
Because he knew very well the reason why Concubine Jiang Guifei encountered this: it was all because of him.
"Your Majesty, you... you must make the decision for me!" Jiang Guifei cried, then tilted her head and fainted from crying.
"My beloved concubine, my beloved concubine! Zhao Li, come on, come on!" Emperor Yongning shouted in a panic, fearing that Concubine Jiang would never wake up.
Little did he know that Concubine Jiang was feeling very relaxed before she fainted.
She was about to die suddenly after deliberately staying awake for the past two days. Now, she could finally pass out without any worries.
Zhao Li immediately stepped forward, pretended to diagnose, and then said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing serious about the imperial concubine. She just passed out from grief. But..."
"The empress's body has been harmed by the Zixi Pills. Weichen used the medicine to destroy the illusion of her health. The empress will still be weak for a while and needs to be carefully nursed back to health."
It is the best eye medicine for the empress to fall into a coma. For Zhao Li, Imperial Physician Zhao, of course, must always emphasize the dangers of Zixi Pills.
Emperor Yongning did not speak, but looked at Concubine Jiang with distressed eyes, and his expression gradually became cold.
Immediately, he ordered: "Come, call Zhang Yansu, Qi Shize and Wang Wenzao into the palace!"
These three people were the chief officials of the Yushitai, the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple. Obviously, the emperor wanted to inquire about the results of the joint trial of the three departments.
"Yes, I will give you the order immediately." Xue Gong responded, knowing that another layer of blood would be shed on the streets of Jingzhao.
When an ordinary man is angry, his blood will be splashed three feet; when the emperor is angry, his blood will be splashed across the oars.
The emperor has already had murderous intentions because of Concubine Jiang's fetus. These murderous intentions will naturally be vented, and the source of these murderous intentions, the Lin family, will definitely bear the brunt.
"Your Majesty, this is the content of the joint trial of the three departments. Please take a look at it." Zhang Yansu handed over the file as soon as he entered the palace.
Immediately, Qi Shize and Wang Wenzao spoke at the same time: "Your Majesty, I second your proposal."
The three of them happened to be together, and they were still thinking about how to report the trial to the emperor. After all, the three-day period was coming soon.
Before they could discuss the results, they received an urgent order from the emperor.
Come on, they don't need to decide this. Anyway, by this point in the interrogation, the matter has become clear.
It is up to the emperor to decide the final outcome of the trial.
Xue Gong took the file and presented it to Emperor Yongning. Who knew that Emperor Yongning didn't even look at it and just threw the file in the palace.
He did not suppress his anger at all and asked directly: "Qi Shize, in a corruption case like Jiangnan Hedao, according to the law, what is the most serious sentence?"
"Back to the emperor, according to the law, the mastermind must be killed and his house confiscated... all the men will be exiled, and the female family members will be deprived of slave status, but..." Qi Shize replied bravely.
"No buts!" Emperor Yongning interrupted him and ordered in a cold voice: "According to my decree, Lin Heyun will be killed, the Lin family will be raided, all the men will be exiled, and the female family members will be declassified as slaves. All relevant officials involved in the Jiangnan Road corruption case will be punished.
Punished as the most serious crime!"
As soon as this decree came down, Zhang Yansu and the others gasped.
Wang Wenzao said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please think twice, there are still many doubts about this matter, please wait..."
"Are there any doubts? Do you think I should give Lin Heyun a lighter sentence?" Emperor Yongning once again interrupted their conversation.
When he said this, the anger on his face had completely disappeared, and his expression could even be considered gentle.
When the emperor's face was ashen, Wang Wenzao and the others dared to speak, but when the emperor calmed down, they did not dare to say anything.
