"Mother, why are you here?" Seeing Shangguan Feiyan, Long Zeyu hurriedly greeted her.
"I heard that something happened, so I came to take a look." Shangguan Feiyan frowned when she saw the blood on the ground. "What happened?"
"Queen Mother, you have to seek justice for this concubine!" Duanmu Qing knelt in front of Shangguan Feiyan and cried hysterically. "Yu-er is dead, Queen Mother!"
"What?" Hearing this, Shangguan Feiyan then saw the lifeless Long Zhe Yu 'er lying on the ground. Her expression immediately changed. "What happened? Who was so cruel as to kill my Yu 'er? "
"Imperial Grandmother, please help your granddaughter-in-law! Please seek justice for your great-grandson! "Seeing that Shangguan Feiyan was the first to complain, Murong Xinlian also knelt in front of Shangguan Feiyan. Her body was covered in blood, and her face was pale from the miscarriage. She looked very pitiful.
When Shangguan Feiyan figured out what had happened, she slammed her walking stick on the ground and shouted, "Investigate! Investigate this properly for me! Wuji, come here! "
The Empress Dowager personally called out Shangguan Wuji to investigate the matter. Duanmu Qing did not say anything. Among the Four Great Clans, he came from the Duanmu Clan, while Murong Xuelian came from the Li Clan. As for the Bai family, they were only suitable for business, and Shangguan Wuji was the most suitable candidate.
In just a short while, Shangguan Wuji found the palace maid who sent the desserts and wine to Murong Xinlian. However, this palace maid had already been silenced. The whole atmosphere became heavy because of the little palace maid's death.
The refreshments and wine that Duanmu Qing sent caused Murong Xinlian to have a miscarriage. Now that this person died, everyone could not help but suspect Duanmu Qing. "Empress, what is going on?" Although Shangguan Feiyan was over fifty years old, she still retained her dignity.
"Mother, this servant does not know. Someone must have framed this servant." Duanmu Qing did not expect the result to be like this. However, she really did not do anything!
"It's definitely you!" Murong Xinlian shouted.
When Murong Xinlian thought about how she would never be able to get pregnant because of Duanmu Qing, she felt so hateful that her teeth chattered. Unable to give birth, no matter how much Longze Jingtian doted on her, she had no one to rely on. Furthermore, Ryuze Jingtian's disgust towards her was so obvious. She shouldn't expect to have a good life in Imperial Prince Jing's Estate in the future.
"You don't have a child of your own, so you're jealous that I have one. That's why you can't tolerate him!"
Murong Xinlian's lips trembled, her emotions were abnormally agitated, "Just now, I personally saw the princess injure the Imperial Noble Consort, causing her to miscarry, and now you caused me to lose my child. It must be because you couldn't bear to see our Murong family becoming rich, that's why you tried to kill us! That must be it! "
Before anyone could understand what was going on, Murong Xinlian had already rushed over to Duanmu Qing. She grabbed Duanmu Qing and hugged her as they rolled on the ground, tangling together.
"How dare you! You were the one who killed my Yu 'er! You are simply too vicious! "Duanmu Qing was not to be outdone. She grabbed Murong Xinlian's hair and pulled.
"What a scandal! What a scandal! " The Empress and the Princess were now cursing like shrews in the street. It was really embarrassing! Long Zeyu's face turned red and he was infuriated, "Separate them for me! Separate them! "
It was unknown whether it was because Duanmu Qing was unlucky or something else, but when the two of them were separated, Duanmu Qing stepped on Murong Xinlian's skirt. Together with the two palace maids supporting her, the four of them fell down together. Duanmu Qing was the most unlucky, she was pressed under the three of them.
"Aiya — —" Murong Xinlian's knee happened to touch Duanmu Qing's lower abdomen. In the next moment, Duanmu Qing felt an intense pain in her lower abdomen. She immediately used her hands to protect her lower abdomen, but it was already too late. A warm liquid flowed down her thigh.
"My child, my child!" Seeing such a situation, Duanmu Qing was stunned. "Imperial physician, imperial physician, quickly come and save my child!"
Duanmu Qing's pregnancy caused everyone present to be extremely shocked. Originally, she wanted to tell Long Zeyu this news after the fetal position was stabilized. However, such an accident happened midway.
"Concubine, please restrain your grief …" After the imperial physician took Duanmu Qing's pulse, he shook his head. Just one sentence had smashed away Duanmu Qing's last hope.
"No! My son — — "The child that she had hoped for for so many years was gone in an instant. Duanmu Qing could not accept this fact. She shook her head and screamed," No — — "
The originally bustling Chongyang Palace banquet had become extremely strange because of the death of a princess and the miscarriage of three royal ladies. The smell of dirty blood filled everyone's nostrils. The autumn wind had also become bone-chilling. The entire place was extremely quiet, so quiet that it was eerily scary.
"Prince, I'm tired." At this moment, Murong Qiqi spoke gently, "Let's go back …"
"Alright!" Feng Cang saw the fatigue on Murong Qiqi's face. He held her hand and bid farewell to Shangguan Feiyan.
"Southern Lin Prince, please return. When the Sunshine Princess gets married, I will personally send her off!" Shangguan Feiyan waved her hand tiredly.
If the Princes of other countries saw the scandal of the royal family, they would not be able to keep their face. It was better to let them return first to prevent them from finding out the truth. If these people really killed each other of the royal family's bloodline, the Northern Zhou Country would probably laugh their heads off.
After leaving the palace, Murong Qiqi felt much more relaxed. Even her breathing became smoother.
"Miss!" Seeing Murong Qiqi come out, Su Yue and Su Mei immediately went to greet her.
"Let's go!" Murong Qiqi boarded the carriage. Unexpectedly, Feng Cang followed behind her. "Qingqing, why don't you stay at my place?"
"Prince, do you want to live alone before marriage?"
Murong Qiqi pulled out a hairpin. Her thick black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall.
How tiring! Although the 'Autumn Flower' was indeed beautiful, those golden clams were too heavy. If she had known that this corolla would be worn on her head, she would have designed it to be lighter.
"Live alone before marriage? That's a good word! " Feng Cang moved closer and lifted a handful of her black hair to his nose to sniff. "I'm fine with it. Qingqing, what do you think?"
"Oh no!"
Murong Qiqi pulled back her black hair and sat on the other side.
"Prince, I have to return to the Prime Minister's residence. It's been a busy day and I'm tired. Once we get married, Prince will be able to see me every day. For now, please leave. After all, men and women should be different. The etiquette of our ancestors cannot be ignored! "
