C102 Conspiracy with Ill Intentions
Meng Zixian was completely indifferent, which caused Song Que's heart to be filled with mixed feelings. He looked at Meng Zixian's disappearing figure and didn't recover for a long time.
Meng Zixian returned to her bedroom and sat down angrily. She grabbed the kettle and found no hot water. Seeing this, Ling'er quickly said, "Little Lord, I'm going to boil some water."
She nodded, pinched a nearby leaf, and muttered: "I'm so angry!"
Gu Jingyuan liked her more and more, so she often stayed at home. Although Chen Huaizhi didn't like it, she didn't dare to drive people out thinking about her family, and she doted on him more and more every day.
The baby had been wearing the Jade Sunflower for six months, but she was pale, swollen, and had difficulty walking. When she came to see Meng Zixian, even she was surprised.
"Say, you're already so pregnant, and you still came to see me." Meng Zixian scolded him, and in her heart, she was worried about her child.
Dai Yunzhi smiled faintly. "It's alright. Imperial Physician Bai said that the child is healthy without any problems. I just came to see you. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I miss you elder sister."
Hearing this, Meng Zixian's heart also warmed. She had never had anyone come here all year round, and it was rare for her to be willing to come here and have a chat with her. Therefore, she felt very happy.
The two chatted for a while. Dai Yunzhi felt that she was not feeling well, so she stood up and said, "Sister, I will go back first."
"Hmm, you're not feeling well. It's best for you to rest early."
After Dai Jade Sunflower left, her stomach began to ache. She turned to the servant girl, Peony, and said, "To the Serenity Tide Palace."
Peony nodded. Dai Yu Zhi walked forward and instructed, "Everything will be done according to the plan."
They arrived at Serenity Temple. Not long after they sat down, the Dai Jade Sunflower's stomach began to ache incessantly. A golden light appeared in Teng Qingshan's eyes, and blood quickly flowed from below, forming a small puddle below. When Chen Huai saw this scene, he shouted angrily, "Call him Imperial Physician!"
Dai Yu Zhi was driven back to his own sleeping quarters in a palanquin, and the imperial physician went to treat him. In the end, he was still unable to save the child.
After Gu Jingyuan received the news, he still went to take a look. He found out that his child was gone, so he didn't feel too sad. After comforting him for a bit, he left.
Chen Huaizhi's expression turned ugly. Gu Jingyuan had arrived at her bedroom. Her eyes reddened as tears fell, "Your majesty, little sister came here to chat with me, and then something happened. Your concubine was frightened."
Gu Jingyuan quickly comforted her: "My beloved concubine is fine. So what if she fell? I do hope she'll give birth to one for me sometime." Gu Jingyuan touched Chen Huai Zhi's stomach, then lustfully looked at her.
Chen Huaizhi's heart was filled with disgust, but he didn't show it on his face. "Your majesty, my sister and child have fallen. You should go and have a look."
Gu Jingyuan was persuaded, so he still ran over.
When Meng Zixian heard the news, she was also surprised, "How could that be? Didn't he just leave? How did the child fall! "
Ling'er was anxious as well. "Young master, I'm worried that we'll be suspected."
"It's not like we did anything wrong. We should sit properly. Why should we feel guilty?" Meng Zixian straightened her back, "What I'm afraid of is that some people are deliberately framing us."
Now, the one in charge of the harem is Chen Huaizhi, she is afraid of Chen Huaizhi.
Gu Jingyuan was impatient. Not long after he got tired of wearing the Jade Sunflower, he turned around and left for another palace.
Chen Huaizhi heard that Gu Jingyuan went to Huai Qingge's place, so she personally went to Dai Jade Sunflower's sleeping quarters.
Dai Jade Sunflower had already awakened, and his face was as white as a sheet of paper. Seeing Chen Huai Zhi, he cried sorrowfully, "Empress, it's Meng Zixian. She must have caused my child's death."
After Chen Huaizhi heard this, she said slowly after a long while, "Jade Helianthus, there's no evidence, so don't say random things."
"What sort of evidence does the Empress want? Why is it not there?" Daid Jade Sunflower grinned, his laugh was horrifying.
Chen Huai helped her tuck the quilt in, then looked at her and gently said, "Honorable Dai, it's better if you take a good rest. As for how the child fell, we'll talk about it later."
After Chen Huaizhi finished speaking, she stood up and left. Pearl stood beside her and asked in a low voice, "Empress, what do we do now?"
"This Dazzling Jade Sunflower can be considered a wise man. Even though he knows that he can't protect his child, he still knows how to frame him." Chen Huaizhi smiled. Imperial Physician Wang had already been bribed by her. This child, he could not stay.
"Since that's the case, let's give Lord Dai some proof." Chen Huai laughed as he instructed Pearl by his side for a few sentences before Pearl went to do her work.
Meng Zixian brought Ling'er to visit Dai Yushui. When Dai Yushui saw her, she cried miserably. It was truly a pitiful scene to behold.
"Don't worry, you're still young, the child will have one." Meng Zixian comforted her dryly. She felt sorry for the Dai family's child, but this was already a foregone conclusion. No matter how sad she was, it was useless. She could only let Dai Yunzhi look forward.
Tears welled up in Dai Jade Sunflower's eyes, crying uncontrollably, "Sister, our hometown says, the child dropped to make a scented sachet, it can protect the body. In this palace, I only have good relations with sister, can you make me a scented sachet?"
Meng Zixian hesitated, not because she didn't want to, but because her handiwork was too ugly ...
"Elder sister, are you not willing?" Then, she was about to cry again. Meng Zixian had no choice but to agree, "Okay, I'll send it to you in two days."
"Elder sister, you're the only one who treats me well." She held Meng Zixian's hand, tears streaming down her face. Her eyes were red and swollen, making her look extremely pitiful.
When Meng Zi Xian brought Ling'er back, Ling'er said, "Little Lord, I feel that you shouldn't agree to Venerable Dai's request."
"What do you mean?"
"Fragrant Sachet is the most taboo. Besides, Lord Dai is clearly from the city. This servant has never heard of sending Fragrant Sachet to protect him."
Meng Zixian didn't say anything. She frowned, thinking to herself, "Don't tell me this is another trap set up for me by these people?"
When she returned to her room, she immediately noticed that something was wrong. She frowned and cautiously said, "Someone has come to visit us."
Ling'er was also stunned. "Little Lord, did you discover something?"
Meng Zixian's face turned ugly, "Looks like I can't stay in this harem any longer. I'm afraid it wasn't someone who wanted me dead." She had been holding her breath the entire time. "Ling'er, go. Take a look and see where you're on the defensive."
The fact that someone had snuck into her bedroom after getting her to make a scented sachet out of the Dressed Jade Sunflower made her realize that all of this was a conspiracy.
"Since you want to fight, I'll accompany you." Because they didn't know what was added, they were in a passive position.
During the night, Meng Zixian sneaked into Huai Qingge's sleeping quarters and stole a scented sachet. Upon returning, she immediately asked Ling'er, "Do you think you can imitate this kind of embroidery work?"
Ling'er held the bag of incense and looked around. She touched the patterns on the bag, then nodded at Meng Zixian.
