C119

The blood that flowed out from under Xue Liuhua's body was like a turbulent river that flowed down, dyeing the goosebumps on her skirt with a large amount of blood. The palace maid held a basin of reddish water and knelt on the ground in panic.

"What's going on?" The Emperor looked at the bustling crowd within the veil and couldn't help but frown. "Isn't Consort Hua's womb always in good condition?"

The imperial physician was so frightened by his cold gaze that his entire body started to tremble. "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This humble subject thinks that the Consort Hua's mood is unstable due to all these ups and downs."

"What's there to be angry about her staying in the Yongle Palace all day long?" The emperor changed his mind and asked. "Has your Empress ever gone anywhere before?"

The palace maid's voice trembled. "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Empress has been to the Princess Poyang."

"What is she doing at Princess Poyang?" The emperor's gaze dimmed. "Did she say anything to the princess?"

"She just told me about the dragon embryo," the palace maid thought for a moment, then added, "When the Empress came out from the Princess' place, she was very happy, and said that she wanted the princess to come to our Yongle Palace as well."

After the Emperor heard this, he immediately calmed down, and the problem was not Little Yun, "Since she is in a good mood, then why is there such a fluctuation?"

The imperial physician changed the topic. "It might be the Empress's first child, so it can't help but be a little emotional."

"How can a little emotion be like this?" The emperor's face carried a sullen expression as he pointed at the blood in the palace maid's hands. "All of you, listen carefully. If anything happens to the prince, don't blame me for not showing mercy to this old official."

The royal doctors were so scared that their goatees were trembling. Lowering their heads and saying "I'm scared", they immediately went through the curtain and gathered around Consort Hua.

Xue Liuhua only felt her lower body swelling unbearably as she continued to moan in pain, cold sweat dripping down her forehead.

"Imperial Physician," Her snow-white fingers pinched the nearest Imperial Physician, "My child … Will my child be saved? "

The imperial physician had the palace maid wipe off her sweat and said gently, "I ask that the Empress believe in this old subject. The Empress and the prince are able to come to this world safely."

Xue Liuhua let out a light breath, and floated into the distant sky like a wisp of smoke. "Imperial Physician, if it's really as you say, when I give birth to a prince, I must have Your Majesty bestow you with a great fortune …"

When the imperial physician saw the blood dripping from her lower body, his pupils couldn't help but constrict. You need to put in a bit of effort, the kid is going to come out. "

The towel that the palace maid used to wipe away her sweat was already wet. Xue Liuhua's legs trembled under the bedding as she bit her teeth and used all her strength.

"The child has already come out half his head," the palace maid clapped happily. "The Empress must use all her strength. After tonight, everything will be fine."

Xue Liuhua's eyes became misty as the light outside shone onto her pale white face. It was as if a layer of white muslin fell on it, and she did not feel the presence of the child, but felt the flowing water on her bed.

Chu Yuan … Xue Liuhua's eyes opened and closed, her lips opened slightly. She came to the imperial harem because of Prince Jin, but Prince Jin had already been turned into a pile of loess.

Xue Liuhua felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. She was only half asleep when she heard a cry and a sharp female student was shouting happily, "Empress, give birth to a little prince."

The emperor had also heard this exciting news. After half the night of tossing and turning, a prince had finally arrived. He clapped his hands in wild joy and smiled. "Quickly tell the imperial physician to bring it out for us to see."

A sudden deathly silence came from the curtain. The emperor was baffled and stood rooted to the spot. "Imperial Physician, what's wrong?"

"Your Majesty," the imperial physician cried as he knelt on the ground. "The prince has died!"

The Emperor feebly stood up and stared blankly at Consort Hua who was immersed in the red light. Her steps immediately weakened and she fell on her seat.

When Chu Zongge heard the news, his heart felt like it had sunk into the ocean. "What's going on … The Emperor had sent almost all of the doctors in the entire Royal Hospital into the Yongle Palace, so how could they not have protected their children? "

The eunuch who sent the message sadly wiped his face, saying, "This servant does not know, that the Empress's unstable mood caused last night's tragedy."

Before a living person could even take a look at the world, he had already passed away. No matter who heard it, they would still feel sad. Xue Ronghua sighed regretfully and asked, "Why is the Empress's mood so unstable? Is it because the palace maids aren't obedient?"

"The maids without Yongle Palace are all extremely clever," the eunuch revealed a vacant expression, "No one knows why the Empress's mood is so unstable."

Xue Ronghua thought for a while, "Has the Empress ever been anywhere before?"

The eunuch shook his head. "The Empress has only been to the Princess Poyang, but she was not in a bad mood. Instead, she was very happy to see the Princess.

Xue Ronghua looked at Chu Zongge with a complicated expression and nodded: "You can leave now."

After the eunuch left, Chu Zongge asked hesitantly: "Do you think that Princess Poyang did something to it?"

"Do you think that Xue Liuhua really went to visit the princess?" Xue Ronghua raised a cold smile.

"What does she think she is when she goes to put on airs for the princess?"

"A palace maid named Xianghe, who was by the princess' side, had just been bestowed a new title. I think the Consort Hua was extremely unhappy to hear this, and took the opportunity to demonstrate her skills to the princess," Xue Ronghua laughed softly, "Tell me, when the princess sees Xue Liuhua with a big belly and a proud face, how could she not be angry?"

Chu Zongge thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't think so. Is it really necessary for the princess to hurt the Consort Hua and the prince for this matter, it should be someone else's doing?"

"Even if it wasn't the princess' wish, it could still be the empress's idea," Xue Ronghua raised an eyebrow. "Even if the empress was grieving over her lost son, she would still open one eye to carefully observe the movements of the imperial concubine."

"If it's the empress's wish, then she should have kept the child. After all, when the crown prince dies, she must support the new prince and take over his position. As for the Consort Hua, he cannot live …"

The eunuch who had just left suddenly returned to the hall. He knelt on the ground and said in a sobbing tone, "New news has come from the Yongle Palace."

Xue Ronghua's throat tightened as she screamed in her heart, "Not good!"

"Consort Hua, she …" The eunuch cried, "Mo!"

Chu Zongge slammed the table, and asked angrily: "Consort Hua is only weak, I have an imperial physician taking care of him, how did she die?"

"Please calm your anger Prince Duan," the eunuch kowtowed, "The imperial physician was still frying medicine when, for some reason, the palace maid from Yongle Palace suddenly cried, saying that Consort Hua had died."

Xue Ronghua raised her chin towards the door: "Prince Duan has only received two pieces of bad news, for a moment of being anxious, you can leave first, it's been hard on you today, there's a reward for you outside."

Chu Zongge looked at her in disbelief, his fingers trembling slightly. "I thought I could protect the mother and son pair, but who knew that not a single one of them could."

"The harem is hard to fathom, it's not your fault," Xue Ronghua comforted him with a smile. "Don't be anxious, you have to calm down."

Chu Zongge let out a long breath and said in a deep voice, "Who was it that hurt both mother and son?"

"No matter who they are, they can't leave the Changchun Palace," Xue Ronghua said as her eyes darkened, "Didn't you say that you wanted to wait for the right time?

"Once the children of Consort Hua leave, I will be the only prince left in the imperial palace. If the Empress Chen is the mastermind, the next to die miserably would be me," Chu Zongge said as he clenched his fingers, "I want to present the handkerchief to the Emperor now?"

"Yes, we can't stand by and watch," Xue Ronghua said as she looked at him seriously. "Once you deliver this, you will definitely stir up a big commotion, and Empress Chen and Princess Poyang will definitely resist with all their might."

"Princess Poyang is someone at the very top of the emperor's heart. I'm still troubled over whether or not I can pass her trial."

Xue Ronghua smiled, "Don't make it difficult, you have no choice but to shoot when the arrow is on the bow."

"At this time, the Emperor is still immersed in the grief of his son's death. The imperial concubines and concubines are not even worth mentioning compared to the prince, so he must be feeling anxious," Chu Zongge frowned, "Now that he has submitted the handkerchief, he has unintentionally given him a way to vent the anger in his heart."

Xue Ronghua smiled slightly, "Isn't that obvious? Go quickly to the Imperial Study to find the Emperor."

Chu Zongge suddenly grabbed her hand and laughed: "You're not coming with me, General Xue?"

Xue Ronghua covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "When it's time for you to make fun of me, I won't be going. This is a family matter, I'm just a princess standing at the side so what's wrong with me."

"Why didn't you marry me earlier," Chu Zongge scratched her nose, "Then wait for me at Xinyang Hall."

"Mn, mn," Xue Ronghua held his hand as if she had given him some strength, "After you finish what you have to do, regardless of whether or not you can punish Empress Chen, you must return it all."

"No matter what, I will definitely come back to make you feel at ease," Chu Zongge sighed quietly, "The success or failure of taking down the Empress Chen lies in this silk handkerchief, I hope the heavens will not disappoint those who want it."

Chu Lingyun absent-mindedly turned the white jade teacup in her hand, listening to the palace maids' intermittent sobbing sounds.

Xianghe frowned tightly, and berated: "You're crying so loudly, Princess can't hear anything clearly."

The palace maid sniffled and said with tears in her eyes: "The prince is gone, the Consort Hua is also gone."

Chu Lingyun's teacup fell to the ground and with a 'peng' sound, it shattered into pieces. She opened her eyes wide and asked: "How is it gone?"

"Imperial Physician, are you saying that the esteemed empress's emotions are unstable …"

"Then has the emperor asked where the Consort Hua has been?"

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, then answered: "Yes, the palace maid told us the truth, but Consort Hua happily left our place, so it's nothing."

Chu Lingyun secretly tightened the grip on the back of her hand. She had clearly only applied a small amount of medicine on her.

"Princess, the empress probably knows about this as well."

"Of course I know that mother knows," Chu Lingyun said snappily. "What reaction does mother have?"

"The empress was stunned and didn't speak for a long time."

Chu Lingyun became silent. mother was a pity about the child that was born with her eyes closed.

"Princess," Xianghe said softly, "Are we going to see the Empress?"

"mother is not in a good mood right now, we should not go," Chu Lingyun said as she waved her sleeves and suddenly asked, "Does Prince Duan and his wife know about this matter?"

Xianghe was startled for a moment, then said: "The entire harem probably knows of this tragedy, even the Xinyang Hall naturally knows, why does the princess ask Prince Duan?"

"After the prince of the Consort Hua left, only the Prince Duan remained of the imperial harem," Chu Lingyun said thoughtfully. "My heart is not at peace, I keep having the feeling that he would do something."

"Since only the Prince Duan is left in the palace, then he shouldn't have made a move either," Xianghe comforted her softly. "Don't worry Princess, don't worry and worry about yourself."

Chu Lingyun's lips tightened into a line, it was best to put this matter down and not mention it.
