Chapter 28
After leaving the Imperial Garden, Su Lijin did not stay idle.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet is coming soon, even if many things have been arranged, I still have to check them myself.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong at that time, it will be me who will be scolded.

Even though the banquet hall was very large, Su Lijin carefully inspected every small detail, and after making sure everything was safe, Su Lijin breathed a sigh of relief.

She drove back to Kunning Palace in a palanquin.

Just as he was about to take a good rest, he heard the voice of the servant rushing in.

"Ma'am, it's not good! It's not good!"

Su Lijin frowned impatiently, she had already been busy for a whole day, she could finally take a rest, and now the concubines in the harem want to make trouble for her, she really doesn't know what to do.

Pulling himself together, Su Lijin got up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, nobleman Jiao and nobleman Xi who live together are quarreling, quarreling..."

The servant explained with some fear.

If it's just ordinary concubines arguing, it's fine, Su Lijin would just wave her hand and let the eunuch go back.

But Mrs. Xi is pregnant.

If it hurts the child in the stomach, I don't know what to do.

Su Lijin rubbed her head, knowing that she still had to go there in person.

So she said to the servant: "Prepare the sedan chair."

When Su Lijin arrived, she saw that the two people were arguing red-faced, almost about to fight.

It's really meaningless for women to quarrel.

Jiao Guiren has always had a bad temper, presumably if she hadn't known that Xi Guiren was pregnant, she would definitely have made a move.

After taking a few glances at the good show in front of her, Su Lijin also felt that it was not interesting, so she simply opened her mouth.

"Noisy, what does it look like? Didn't you see Ben Gong coming?"

The scolding voice made both of them quiet down instantly.

"What's going on? Why did the good guys start arguing?"

After hearing Su Lijin's questioning, Mrs. Xi suddenly said with red eyes and aggrieved.

"Empress, you have to make the decision for the concubine. The concubine just has a child. Mrs. Jiao said that I deceived the emperor and that I was seductive. I was really wronged."

Jiao Guiren frowned in dissatisfaction, and subconsciously wanted to refute, but was stopped by Su Lijin's eyes.

The angry and anxious nobleman stopped talking, but his expression was still very angry.

Su Lijin also understood immediately.

It's just jealousy among women, Jiao Guiren is probably jealous too.

That's why I couldn't bear the ridicule of my temper.

Since it wasn't a big deal and he didn't do anything, the child in Mrs. Xi's belly was fine.

Then go back and rest early.

Thinking of this, Su Lijin said symbolically.

"Jiao Guiren, no matter what you say now, Xi Guiren is pregnant, even if you have any ideas, you should think twice before acting. If you want a child, you can rely on your ability. Don't let me know that you are arguing with Xi Guiren. Otherwise, I will not spare you."

Although Jiao Guiren was dissatisfied in his heart, he still nodded and agreed.

Su Lijin then turned and left.

The sedan chair has just taken two steps, and it has not waited until it has passed the gate of the palace where nobleman Xi lived.

Su Lijin heard a scream from behind, and it belonged to Mr. Xi.

Su Lijin only felt startled, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

When he turned his head to look again, nobleman Xi had already collapsed on the ground, his face was pale and he was clutching his stomach in pain.

Jiao Guiren, who was standing aside, was indeed frightened by the scene in front of him.

It seemed a little caught off guard.

"You, what are you doing? I didn't touch you!"

Jiao Gui frowned.

Right now nobleman Xi was already bleeding from her legs. She looked at Su Lijin, as if she wanted to say something, but she passed out in the end.

"Call the imperial physician! Go and call the imperial physician!"

Su Lijin came to Mr. Xi's side, and several servants helped the unconscious Mr. Xi into the hall.

On the bed, Lu Bingqian hurried over to feel nobleman Xi's pulse.

But after feeling the pulse, Lu Bingqian frowned and turned to Su Lijin and sighed.

"Empress Empress, nobleman Xi's child is gone..."

Gone?

After hearing Lu Bingqian's words, Lady Xi lay on the bed in a daze. She touched her belly, as if she wanted to touch her unformed fetus, but the damp heat between her legs told her that the baby was gone.

She thought of the past few days, from quarreling with Jiao Guiren, to when she passed the imperial garden and met Queen Su Lijin, who gave herself a sachet.

Yes, sachets!

Mrs. Xi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly asked Su Lijin emotionally.

"Empress, why do you want to harm me? I just accidentally bumped into you, and you treat me like this. Why are you coming at me? Why are you hurting my child!"

"Your Majesty Xi, you must be reasonable. When did I harm your child?"

Su Lijin retorted coldly.

Mrs. Xi took out the sachet that Su Lijin gave her, and said with a sob.

"I took the sachet you gave me, and the child is gone. Do you still say it's not you? Who else can there be besides you!"

Whether there is any problem with this sachet, Su Lijin knows better than anyone else.

Therefore, Su Lijin handed the sachet to the imperial physician beside her without any fear.

"Check it out, if there is any problem, I will take your child's life with my death!"

After careful inspection, Lu Bingqian spoke seriously.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with the sachet. If you don't believe me, you can have it checked by other imperial physicians."

Lady Xi couldn't believe Lu Bingqian's words, she spoke with red eyes and choked up sobs.

"But, what else can it be if it's not a sachet?"

"Forget it, take a good rest first, and don't think too much about the child."

Su Lijin sighed, and left after a few words of comfort.

After returning to the palace, she ordered the servants around her to send a lot of supplements to Noble Xi.

But the matter of Mrs. Xi's tire failure is complicated and confusing. Who wants to kill her child?

Although I have fantasized about this child passing away unexpectedly, but...

"Go and find out who actually attacked Mr. Xi."

Since Su Lijin separated from Zhao Heng, in order to prevent Su Lijin from being in danger, Zhao Heng arranged some people to stay in the palace and listen to Su Lijin's orders. In short, Su Lijin now has his own people in the palace. .

Not long after, the servant hurried back to Su Lijin's side, then lowered his voice and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the incense in Mrs. Xi's room has been replaced by someone. The servant has already found someone to confirm that the contents of the incense contain ingredients that can cause abortion, and the medicinal effect is very strong."

It turned out that someone had tampered with Mr. Xi's incense.
