Yun Xiyue said, "Well then, let's not disturb His Majesty with matters of the harem."

She suffered a miscarriage, and the concubines in the harem all came to pay their respects and visit her.

Zeng Rou also came. "Your Majesty, please take care of your health. Being pregnant with three princes is an unprecedented good thing."

"It would be such a pity if this pregnancy were to fail."

Yun Xiyue could tell she was being sarcastic, but she smiled calmly and said, "I am perfectly fine, there's no need to worry."

"Three doesn't necessarily mean they are princes. The emperor likes princesses and wants one."

"If they are all princes, we will have to have another one."

Zeng Rou stared at her belly, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes. "Ten months of pregnancy is very hard. The Emperor dotes on you so much, how could he bear to let you get pregnant again?"

"I don't find it hard at all. It is my blessing to bear princes and princesses for His Majesty. Speaking of which, you and His Majesty are like fellow disciples, aren't you?"

"You've been in the palace for so long, and the Emperor has never mentioned your past to me. Why don't you tell everyone about your past with the Emperor?"

Zeng Rou was furious; she felt humiliated.

They laughed at her for knowing the Emperor early on and being the first person to have the opportunity to get close to Murong Yu, yet she never won the Emperor's favor.

Bitch!

Zeng Rou's eyes were gloomy, and her fingers dug into her palms tightly.

"His Majesty has ordered that Your Highness must not be displeased. I am afraid that if I speak of it, it will upset you, so I will not mention it."

Yun Xiyue chuckled, "You and the Emperor are merely superior and subordinate. The Emperor has only a general impression of you, but he is quite grateful to your sister Zeng Qing, after all, Zeng Qing saved the Emperor's life. The Emperor will often remember her life-saving grace."

"If she were alive, she wouldn't have had a chance to enter the palace. In truth, you, Consort Rou, are nothing more than a cuckoo in the nest, using your sister's life-saving grace to coerce the Emperor."

Zeng Rou's face instantly turned ugly, and she stood up angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting? You're the one who's usurping the throne! The Emperor loves my sister, and she's the only person he's ever loved. If she were still alive, the Empress's position would be hers. Who do you think you are? Just a merchant..."

She became more and more excited as she spoke.

"Consort Rou, how dare you!" Everyone was startled, but fortunately Jiang Sijin reprimanded her in time.

"Your Majesty...something terrible has happened! Your Majesty has seen blood! Consort Rou, how dare you speak of Her Majesty the Empress like that..."

Yunxiyue clutched her stomach and said she felt uncomfortable.

There was a trace of blood on the open palm.

Granny Chen immediately said, "Quickly summon the imperial physician."

Zeng Rou was shocked when she saw the blood, thinking it was impossible.

Soon after, the Empress Dowager arrived.

Seeing the Empress Dowager, she breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the Empress Dowager would protect her.

The Empress Dowager immediately went in to visit Yun Xiyue, and then stormed out in a rage.

"Your Majesty, I didn't... It was the Empress who deliberately provoked me..."

Zeng Rou stepped forward, looking aggrieved.

The Empress Dowager raised her hand and slapped her across the face.

"Empress Dowager..." Zeng Rou covered her face in disbelief.

He didn't understand why the Empress Dowager had hit him.

Didn't they always protect me before?

"Consort Rou, how dare you! You know the Empress is pregnant and has a threatened miscarriage, yet you still dare to upset her?"

"And what spices are you wearing?" the Empress Dowager asked, gesturing for people to remove everything from her body, from her hairpins to her sachets and handkerchiefs.

"Your Majesty, the spices in the sachet are fine, but the sachet itself has been soaked in musk, and the clothes worn by Consort Rou have also been soaked in musk."

"The scent is very faint, and under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be a big problem for pregnant women to smell it. However, Her Majesty the Empress has recently been experiencing a miscarriage and is currently in a weak state, so she cannot tolerate even the slightest hint of musk."

"We also found several musk pills in Consort Rou's hairpin."

I saw that everything had been pulled out.

Zeng Rou couldn't believe it; she hadn't put the musk pill in the hairpin.

"Empress Dowager...no...it wasn't me...someone framed me."
