Luoshuanga was silent for a long time before he said, "You may leave. I need to think about it."
Speaking of which, when Luo Shuang saw Concubine Jing lying on the bed, breathing so slowly that it seemed as if she was on the verge of death, she had really intended to adopt Princess Chui You and give her to Concubine Jing as compensation for that child.
However, when he and Concubine Jing's real child was born, his first reaction was to move Princess Chuyou out of Changding Palace. Firstly, everything that Princess Chuyou had done in the past had shocked him, and he didn't dare to let her stay in Fallen Red Palace. Secondly, he didn't want to give either Concubine Mu or Concubine Ying a chance to get close to the other princes. This was why he had chosen Concubine Yan as Xiang Tao's adoptive mother.
Concubine Mu's suggestion was also tempting. Chuyou was originally Concubine Wang's child, so it was most appropriate to give it to Concubine Ying, who was born in the Wang family. It could also shut Mother Empress's mouth and allow Uncle Wang and the others to breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Chuyou was leaning on the table in Jieyi Palace. Her small face was hidden in the shadows, and her emotions were unstable. No one could tell what she was thinking. The young Chuyou had sensed that Concubine Mu didn't like her. In comparison, Concubine Jing treated her well. After she became pregnant, she didn't treat her coldly. She was even afraid that she would be neglected, so she took her with her every day.
But now, Concubine Jing's child was already mature and she was also an Empress. Would she still love her as before? When she and Zhang Zhu clashed, whose side would she stand on?
Ha, so without a birth mother, she was just a dispensable tool in the palace. When that woman didn't have a child, she was a treasure. Once she had one, she could be abandoned at any time.
Concubine Mu and Concubine Jing, at least she was familiar with Concubine Jing.
Thus, when Concubine Mu returned, Shanhu anxiously came forward and bowed, "Your Highness, Chuyou is missing."
"Missing?" Concubine Mu's face turned pale, "Have you sent people to look for her?"
Shanhu nodded, "Changhe Palace has been searched from top to bottom. This servant has already asked Little Wang to bring people to the Imperial Garden."
"We will go too."
Just as she turned around, she saw Dianmo, who was beside Beauty Xi, rush over with tears on her face, "Your Highness, the young mistress is bleeding!"
Consort Mu sucked in a breath of cold air. "Zi Ying, go get Imperial Physician Fei, quick!"
Shanhu asked hesitantly, "Then … … protect the Empress?"
Mu Fei was also furious. She scolded without thinking, "How can we care about that motherless jinx now?!"
On the way, Dian Mo talked about what had happened. Today, Dian Mo was walking in the small garden with Xi Meiren. Someone splashed a basin of water on the ground. It was probably just splashed, so it was not completely frozen yet. Dian Mo did not notice it, so she fell down and reddened on the spot.
Seeing blood at this time, it was very likely that the child could not be saved. Beauty Xi lay on the bed bleeding non-stop. The medical women sent to treat her were helpless even after using all their skills. Looking at Concubine Mu's expression of wanting to devour someone, they really did not have the courage to say the word "abortion".

Back then, Flower Guard and Beauty Xi acted on their own without Consort Mu's permission. They were both promoted one rank, which made Consort Mu very uncomfortable. She ordered Flower Guard to move to Bodhi Hall to copy scriptures. Even so, she still took time to walk around Qianqiu Hall with Beauty Xi.
Today was no exception. Flower Guard was walking halfway when she bumped into a small person. She quickly bent down to support the small person. Looking down, she said, "So it's Empress Consort Mu. Why are you playing here? There is no one beside you. Do you need this concubine to send you back to the red palace? "
Empress Consort Mu's face turned pale. She fiercely pushed away Flower Guard's hand and scolded without thinking, "Get lost. You are just a commoner. You are not allowed to touch me with your dirty hands!" After speaking, she fiercely glared at her and turned to run away.
Getting Rich supported Flower Guard who staggered two steps. Looking at the direction Empress Consort Mu ran in, he frowned and said, "This child … … Consort Jing pampers Empress Consort Mu too much."
Flower Guard rolled her eyes and said, "Not necessarily. The more insensible a child is, the more troublesome she is. It only means that the parents do not pay enough attention to her."
Getting Rich asked strangely, "But who in the palace would personally take care of a child?"
Flower Guard did not answer the question and said, "You are right. Even if the child is pampered to the heavens, the child will still cause trouble. So it is better to just beat her."
"Young Mistress … …" After so long, Getting Rich still could not get used to this master who did not fit in with the palace.
As soon as she stepped into Changhe Palace, she heard the palace servants whispering.
"Beauty Xi's child is gone."
"It seems to have slipped. Who did it?"
"It can't be Jin Ronghua, right?"
"That makes sense. If Beauty Xi gave birth to a prince before her, where would she put her face?"
Flower Guard's expression changed when she heard this, "Impudent. Get lost. Who can you curse?"
Getting Rich looked at the palace maids and eunuchs who were on tenterhooks. Considering that this was Consort Mu's Changhe Palace, they had no right to do anything. If something went wrong, Consort Mu would be suspicious. So he advised, "Young Mistress, let's go see Beauty Xi first?"
Flower Guard gritted her teeth and said, "I'll deal with you later!" Then she lifted her skirt and ran towards Qianqiu Zhai.
At this time, Qianqiu Zhai's situation was very bad. When Imperial Physician Fei came in, he knew that Beauty Xi had fallen too hard and the child could not be saved. Seeing Consort Mu's expression, he went forward to check her pulse. In the end, he pretended to shake his head helplessly, "Beauty Xi's injury is too serious this time. I'm afraid it will affect her and her child in the future."
Consort Mu's face was as black as ink. She had suffered this kind of hardship before. Now, she could not tolerate this kind of method, "Investigate. Investigate for ben gong. Who came to the small garden — —"
"Yes."
A palace maid walked in and whispered something in Shanhu's ear. Shanhu nodded her head and let the palace maid leave. Then, she went behind Consort Mu and reported: "Niangniang, Jin Ronghua and Beauty Xu are waiting outside with their own people."
"Ben gong knows," Consort Mu barely suppressed her anger, "Imperial Physician Fei, ben gong will leave Beauty Xi in your care. There must not be any more accidents!"
"This official obeys the decree."
When Miss Hua arrived, she saw Consort Mu ordered people to bring a chair to the head. Her pretty face was cold as she interrogated the people below. Seeing her come, Consort Mu only nodded coldly and pointed to the door of Beauty Xi's palace. Miss Hua understood. She bent her knees and hurried in.
Beauty Xi's face was pale. She was in a daze. She still couldn't react. The child was gone just like that?
Miss Hua carefully sat on the edge of the couch and held her cold hand, "Ah Xi … … it will get better. It will!"
When Beauty Xi saw her come, she smiled sadly and said, "Huako, thank you. It won't happen again. Yes, it won't happen again."
Miss Hua's tears suddenly gushed out. She didn't know what to do. Say it's okay. The child will be born again? Cheer up. Let's avenge the child together? Everything seemed so futile.
Beauty Xi didn't seem to understand why she suddenly cried. Instead, she smiled and said, "Huako, shameful. Like a child."
Dian Mo just came in with a bowl of medicine. She bent her knees and bowed, "Young Mistress, the medicine is ready."
Miss Hua hastily wiped her face with her sleeve and said, "Don't worry. Soon, I will make Consort Mu give you justice. Drink the medicine first and take care of your body."
Beauty Xi slowly drank the medicine in her hand. She whispered, "I'm sleepy." Then she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Miss Hua waited until she fell asleep. She helped her pinch the corner of the quilt before getting up. She reminded Dian Mo, "Take good care of Ah Xi. There can't be any more accidents!"
Flower Guard walked to the center of the courtyard. Although Chang He Palace was half the size of the original Snow Resting Palace, there were still quite a number of people. After interrogating them one by one and collecting evidence, it took quite a bit of time. In the end, it was a person that no one expected — — Princess You.
It was a palace maid who cleaned the small garden. She cried, "It was Princess You who ordered this servant to bring her water. This servant ran to the small kitchen to get some tea. When I came back, I saw the water bucket on the ground. This servant thought it was Princess You being naughty. I didn't expect … …"
Consort Mu was shocked. She couldn't really say that it was Princess You who did it, "Impudent. You were the one who wasn't careful. You dare to accuse your master! Someone come, shut her mouth and drag her to Si Zhengsi. "
The palace maid was innocent. She was in a dilemma. If she didn't expose Princess You, she would be the culprit. If she exposed Princess You, she would still be the scapegoat.
"Wait," Miss Hua hurriedly shouted for her to stop, "When this concubine came, I happened to see Princess You. Her expression was strange. We might as well call Princess You over. If she is really innocent, we can help Princess You get rid of suspicion. If someone is teaching Princess You bad things, we can stop our losses."
Consort Mu's face darkened. She ignored her and said, "Take her away."
"Niang niang … …"
Seeing that Miss Hua was about to step forward, Consort Mu stopped her, "Then what? This matter concerns Princess You's reputation. Even if His Majesty doesn't care, what will the Empress Dowager think? She just left and we dare to make things difficult for her granddaughter. Do you think she's invisible? "
Miss Hua clenched her teeth and asked, "Then what about Ah Xi?"
Consort Mu was also unwilling. But there was nothing she could do. She could only say half-heartedly, "Ben gong has already ordered taiyi to help Xi beauty recover. She is still young. She will have children in the future."
"Miss Hua," Jin Ronghua spoke at the right time, "I know you and Xi beauty are good sisters. It is normal for you to stand up for her. Princess You is still young. Maybe she was just in a bad mood. She didn't want to hurt her shu mother and sister-in-law. If you want Consort Mu jiejie to take this matter to His Majesty, what will His Majesty think?
Do you think His Majesty will fly into a rage and kill Princess You to pay for Xi beauty and her child? His Majesty will only think that jiejie is taking the opportunity to stir up trouble. He might even think that you are purposely causing trouble at this time to target Consort Jing. "

The Flower Selection Attendant's eyes were red as she asked, "Don't tell me that this matter is over just like this?" The three people in the hall were all silent.
Miss Hua pointed at the palace servants below the stairs and asked in a hoarse voice, "What about you? You don't know anything? "The palace servants looked at each other and lowered their heads. It was not good for them to get involved in the matters of their masters.
"All of you can leave." Mu Fei looked awkwardly at the flower chamberlain. She patiently explained to the flower chamberlain, "A girl's reputation is the most important. We can't let a rat poop spoil the whole pot of porridge. Also, Princess Chui You is just a child. As an adult, can you argue with a child?"
Miss Hua sneered, "When I was her age, I already learned to act pitiful with the other children in the temple to cheat money. What haven't I done before? Not arguing with a child? Fine, I can only argue with Consort Jing! "
"Stop right there!" Consort Mu saw Miss Hua leave without looking back. She was angry and anxious. She chased after her for a few steps and then looked back at Jin Ronghua and Xi beauty behind the door.
Beauty Xu saw this and said, "Consort will take care of things here. Please don't worry, Consort."
Jin Ronghua also said, "Consort, don't worry. Consort will immediately return to her own palace and won't take a step out." Consort Mu nodded and then chased after Miss Hua. She didn't want Miss Hua to die. She saw her wish in Miss Hua. She wanted to live.
Falling Red Palace.
Princess Chuiyou had barged in crying. When Concubine Jing heard her cries, she was naturally worried. "Zhe Man, it sounds like Chuiyou is crying. She must have been wronged. Bring her in."
Zhe Man agreed but didn't move. In her heart, she didn't like Princess You. Especially now that the jade plate had changed. It was someone else's child. Why should she care?
"Zhe Man, go!"
Unable to resist Concubine Jing's repeated urging, Zhe Man slowly walked out and asked, "What's going on? Isn't it a bit too noisy?"
Cai Ju saw her and frowned. She asked, "Why did you come out?"
Zhe Man glanced at Princess You discreetly. "This servant greets Princess You. May I know why you are here?"
Princess You was eager to gain Concubine Jing's favor, so she wanted to bypass them and go into the inner hall. However, she was stopped by the two of them. "Princess, you have a precious body and the filth in the delivery room will affect your body. Please go back."
Princess You said angrily, "Get lost. Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me?"
Zhe Man was afraid that she would disturb Consort Jing and cause Consort Jing's heart to soften. Then, she let this ingrate go back to Changding Palace. She reached out to stop her and said impolitely, "Princess, you are Consort Mu's child. If anything happens to you in the Falling Red Palace, we can't explain ourselves. Please don't make things difficult for us."
Princess You didn't care and started crying. "Consort Mother … Consort Mother … Don't you want Chuiyou anymore? You want to give Chuiyou away … "
Zhe Man was furious. She went up and covered Princess You's mouth. She gave a look to the left and right. "Hurry up and send Princess You back to Jieyi Palace!"
Consort Jing had heard it long ago. She got out of bed without caring about her postpartum body. "Wait. When did I agree to send Princess You to Changhe Palace?"
Cai Ju and Zhe Man looked at each other and knew that they wouldn't be able to send Princess Chuiyou away today. They could only kneel down and beg for forgiveness. Princess Chuiyou hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed her clothes tightly as she cried, "This child doesn't know how this child offended Imperial Father to actually hand this child over to Imperial Concubine Mu. Someone must have said bad things about this child in front of Imperial Father!"
Consort Jing bent down and used her sleeve to wipe Princess You's tears. She comforted her. "Consort Mother is here. I won't let you leave the Falling Red Palace."
