Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 184 Removal of the Dead Fetus

Emperor Suwen was heartbroken and immediately ordered Yun Yuxi and the imperial physician to start treatment immediately. For a moment, the whole scene was silent, and no one dared to breathe, for fear that the slightest mistake would anger the emperor.

The Imperial Concubine Shu was embarrassed and hurriedly tried to find an excuse to leave, saying that she was not feeling well. Emperor Suwen glanced at her coldly, but did not make things difficult for her. He waved his hand to allow her to return to her bedroom to rest and recuperate.

After returning to her bedroom, Concubine Shu was as frightened as a frightened bird. She couldn't wait to call the nanny to her side and anxiously asked her whether all traces had been completely removed.

When she saw the nanny's firm and affirmative gaze and the definite answer, Concubine Shu's heart finally settled down a little and she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"My lady, why did you suddenly come back at this critical moment? Such behavior will easily arouse suspicion!

In my opinion, you should quickly send the small kitchen to cook some nourishing chicken soup, and have you personally deliver it to His Majesty and Concubine Qing." Nanny said worriedly.

“I just saw Nan Ruoqing’s tragic state covered in blood. For some reason, I felt a little scared.

In a trance, I seemed to see the fetus in her belly grinning at me, with blood all over its face, which was really horrifying, so I hurried back." Concubine Shu recalled the scene with lingering fear, and her voice still trembled slightly.

"Don't panic, madam. Just lie down and rest for a while. I will go and make all the arrangements."

With that, the nanny turned and left, and began to instruct the servants to take care of the relevant matters. "The tranquilizing soup, the queen will be fine after drinking it," the nanny comforted.

For some reason, whenever Concubine Shu lay in bed, as long as she closed her eyes, the image of Nan Ruoqing covered in blood and in a horrible state would involuntarily appear in her mind.

Recalling her unfortunate miscarriage, she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious: Could it be that Nan Ruoqing was responsible for all this? However, as a concubine in the harem, Concubine Shu knew that she had to quickly adjust her mentality and emotions in order to cope with the various changes that might happen next.

At the same time, maids kept coming out of the room carrying basins of bright red blood, and each basin seemed to be telling the great pain that Nan Ruoqing had suffered.

Finally, after a long and agonizing wait, Nan Ruoqing slowly opened her eyes. When she learned that the fetus in her belly had died, the excruciating pain that was like a knife twisting her heart instantly spread throughout her body, causing her to let out a shrill scream.

The sound was like the cry of a night owl, echoing throughout the palace. Even Emperor Suwen, who was guarding outside the door, couldn't help but feel a bone-chilling chill running down his spine.

"Nan Ruoqing, if you don't want to die now, just cooperate with the imperial physician's treatment! Your child is gone. If you can't take it out as soon as possible, I'm afraid you won't be able to save your life either!" Yun Yuxi said sternly, standing beside the bed.

"Just let me die... What's the point of me living now?" Nan Ruoqing muttered to herself with empty eyes, as if she had lost all vitality and hope.

"Want to die? That's easy! If you give up your life so easily, how can you be worthy of your child who was murdered before he was born? This princess dares to conclude that this child did not die of natural causes. Don't you want to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and avenge him?" Yun Yuxi's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Nan Ruoqing's heart.

"What did you say? Someone actually deliberately harmed me?" Nan Ruoqing widened her eyes and looked at Yun Yuxi in disbelief.

"Hmph, how stupid! Whether you want to receive treatment or not, I will only give you ten seconds to consider. I don't have the leisure to stay here with you!" Yun Yuxi crossed her arms and looked at Nan Ruoqing with a cold face.

Nan Ruoqing was heartbroken and listened carefully to Yun Yuxi's words. She knew in her heart that someone must have harmed this child, so she said in a firm tone, "Please save me."

"Don't say anything more! Don't delay any longer, or your life will be in danger. If I have to cut open your abdomen and take out the child, what do you think?"

Nan Ruoqing closed her eyes when she heard this, and replied in a low voice: "Forget it, just do it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly fell into a daze. It turned out that Yun Yuxi had doubts about Nan Ruoqing and had no trust in Emperor Su Wen. Therefore, she first gave Nan Ruoqing a drug, and then anesthetized her after she lost consciousness.

Not long after, Yun Yuxi successfully cut out a dark blue baby from Nan Ruoqing's abdomen. It was a male baby still in its embryonic stage, and looked very miserable.

Yun Yuxi looked at the poor child and couldn't help but sighed. She said slowly, "Doctor Lin, please take good care of the child's body. After I sew up the wound, I will have to perform an autopsy on the child."

"Princess, please go and do your work. I will follow your orders." Since the trip to Lingcheng, Lin Zicong has admired Yun Yuxi even more. Yun Yuxi understands that Lin Zicong can be trained to be her own person.

Yun Yuxi sutured the wound quickly and carefully, while the people outside the room were waiting anxiously and silently. They knew that only if Concubine Qing was safe, they would be able to leave safely.

Emperor Suwen became even more anxious when he saw that there was no movement in the room. He wanted to break in to see what was going on several times, but was stopped by Yan Wuque every time.

"Royal brother, we cannot be distracted at all when treating Yu'er. Please be patient and wait."

Suddenly the door creaked open and Yun Yuxi walked out with a tired look on her face.

"Your Majesty, please let the ministers go back and rest first. It's getting late. Concubine Qing is fine."

Emperor Suwen knew that Yun Yuxi might have something to say, and he was even more aware of Yun Yuxi's plan. He wanted to keep the family's dirty laundry private, so he ordered Eunuch Liu to dismiss everyone.

After everyone left, Yun Yuxi said softly, "Your Majesty, can you please talk to me for a moment?"

Emperor Suwen nodded.

"Your Majesty, the child was poisoned to death by a large amount of toxins. The person who used the poison had a vicious mind. I have not yet found out what the poison was. I beg Your Majesty to agree to perform an autopsy on the child."

Emperor Su Wen was furious and said, "That was just a child. How could he endure this autopsy? Yun Yuxi, did you do this on purpose?"

"Your Majesty, calm down. If I don't check, I can't tell with my naked eyes. Such a young child is gone just like that. Doesn't Your Majesty want to find out the reason?"

Emperor Suwen thought about it and asked solemnly, "What do you mean?"

"Yeah, that's right, otherwise this will happen again in the future,"

Emperor Su Wen insisted on taking a look at the child. No matter what, he still wanted to see the child born. After all, he loved Nan Ruoqing very much and also hoped that Nan Ruoqing would have a child.
