Concubine Shu was angry and ordered people to torture her. Qi Meiren cried so much that she couldn't help but insisted on her true words. She cried and begged, but refused to admit that she was the one who intentionally harmed her out of hatred.

The emperor attaches great importance to this matter. Concubines Shu and Concubine Jing can use torture during interrogation, but they must not be used excessively. Otherwise, they will be beaten into submission and they will not be able to communicate in front of the emperor.

In this way, Qi Meiren had to be let go first, and the maids and eunuchs on the ship were interrogated.

The luxury cruise ship had two floors and was very spacious and gorgeous. Because it was used by the most noble masters, there were also a lot of maids and eunuchs serving it.

Qi Meiren said that she had no idea who pushed her, so she could only check everyone who was around her at the time of the incident and eliminate them one by one.

As a result, after staying up half the night, a palace maid suddenly fell to the ground and died!

Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing were frightened and hurriedly called for the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctor diagnosed that the palace maid died of a sudden myocardial infarction.

Having said that, this is too coincidental.

Concubine Jing's face was pale and her heart was pounding: "What, what can we do? This is too coincidental! The emperor will not believe it."

Concubine Jing was very upset.

Doesn’t Concubine Shu like to do everything in her life on weekdays? It would be better for her to interrogate this matter alone. Why didn't she refuse the emperor's order even though she was unwilling to do so? Why didn't you refuse then?

If I had refused at that time, wouldn't there be no embarrassment now?

Concubine Shu also had a headache and sighed: "The matter is over, let's continue the trial. It may not be that coincidental."

It happened to be this palace maid who did it.

Concubine Jing sneered, "Just do whatever my sister says."

Concubine Jing also had a guess in her mind that 80% of this matter was related to Concubine Shu, and 20% was due to Qi Meiren's harsh words.

Anyway, she is innocent.

After all, the child in Xin's belly could not be saved.

At nightfall, Xin Concubine, who was being fed bird's nest porridge by the emperor himself, suddenly suffered from abdominal pain. After that, the whole palace was in a rush, with palace maids, eunuchs, and doctors coming in and out constantly, mixed with Xin Concubine's painful cries. Later, the imperial doctor diagnosed that Empress Xin had had a miscarriage.

Everyone in the hall knelt on the ground, and everyone outside the hall who had not yet left was silent.

Xinbi cried heartbrokenly

Concubine Xin was in agony, and the emperor's attempts to comfort her were of no use. In the end, she cried until she fainted. The imperial doctor tremblingly reported to the emperor from beginning to end, and received a kick from the sullen emperor.

Concubine Xin lay quietly on the couch, her eyes closed tightly, and there were still tears on her pale face, and the emperor suddenly felt pain again in his heart.

He felt so happy the moment he found out that Xinbi was pregnant, but now he felt so heartbroken.

He rubbed his brows tiredly, left the dormitory, and sat outside, filled with evil spirits.

"Where are Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing? Haven't the trials been clear yet? Call them here!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Gao bowed and agreed, and hurriedly told his reliable and stable apprentice to rush over and invite Empress Shu Fei and Empress Jing Fei over.

I don’t know what the outcome will be for the two empresses. If it’s not good, I’m afraid it will be another turmoil.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing had endured this for most of the day, and were already so tired that they yawned continuously and had tears in their eyes.

If they hadn't sent someone over there to see that the Crown Prince, Crown Princess and other concubines were still waiting on the corridor and steps outside the Xin Concubine's dormitory, they would have called it a day and gone back to the trial again tomorrow.

Anyway, the matter has come to this, and the emperor is very angry. He must not press forward at this moment. At least we have to wait until tomorrow.

Just endure it.

Unexpectedly, someone came to invite me from the emperor's side.

"The Emperor is still with Xin Concubine now? How is Xin Concubine doing now?"

Concubine Shu asked casually, but the young eunuch didn't dare to say anything, "I only serve outside and don't know about anyone else." Eunuch Gao had personally told him not to say anything, so how could he dare?

The emperor was furious, and everyone was frightened. If they were not careful, their lives would be lost. Of course, the most important thing is to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

After all, they are the people around the emperor, and even Concubine Shu can't control him.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing smiled and stopped asking.

The emperor is still with Xin Concubine, so the situation should be fine.

Concubine Shu even felt a little regretful in her heart: After everything was like this, why didn’t Concubine Xin have a miscarriage?

She didn't know that Xinbin had already had a miscarriage.

When the two of them entered, everything regarding the concubine's miscarriage had been taken care of, leaving no trace inside or outside the palace. You couldn't tell anything by looking at it this way.

"Greetings to the Emperor!"

Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing saluted, but the emperor just nodded and did not offer a seat, so they had to stand.

Thinking of her son and daughter-in-law who were still waiting outside the palace, Concubine Shu felt a little distressed. Secondly, she really didn't want the younger generation to hear and see the embarrassing scene.

As long as she reports the truth, the emperor will definitely get angry and lose his temper. That scene is really not nice to watch.

At her old age, if her son and juniors heard her being reprimanded by the emperor, her real face would be lost.

Concubine Shu then forced herself to smile and said, "Your Majesty, it's already getting late. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess have been waiting outside for half a day. Why don't we let them go back and rest first."

"Rest?" The emperor stared at her with cold eyes and smiled instead of being angry: "It was really hard for them to wait for half a day. Concubine Shu is very good at caring for people. Who will feel sorry for my prince who died before he was born!"

The emperor was almost furious with gritted teeth. He was afraid of startling the sleeping concubine Xin in the bedroom. He endured it again and again before he restrained himself from grabbing the tea cup in front of him and smashing it over.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing then found out that Concubine Xin had had a miscarriage, and they knelt down in panic.

"Your Majesty, forgive me!"

"I made a mistake, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The emperor's cold gaze fell on Erre like a knife, without saying a word. The two of them knelt with their heads lowered and did not dare to express their anger.

The air in the hall seemed to be stagnant, making it difficult to breathe. The heart in the chest seemed to be restless due to lack of oxygen, and it was beating without rhythm.

Concubine Shu was extremely regretful.

If she had known that Xinbi had had a miscarriage, she would never have dared to say such inappropriate words.

Didn't this just happen to hit him? I don’t know what the emperor will think of her.

The emperor was not born for a long, long time.

About half an hour later, Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing were kneeling on the ground, not daring to move. Their knees were so painful that they finally heard the emperor's voice slowly ringing above their heads.

"How was the trial?"

The two looked at each other hesitantly.

Now that the emperor has asked, there is no way to hide it.

Concubine Jing lowered her eyes and pretended to be dead. Anyway, she was not the one in charge of the trial.

Concubine Shu was helpless. Even though she knew that the emperor would be even more angry if she told the truth now, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and report the truth, including Qi Meiren's refusal to admit that she intended to cause harm but was pushed instead, and that a palace maid had a heart attack during the interrogation. die.

The emperor suddenly raised his eyes and stared at him like a knife.

At that moment, the blood in Concubine Shu's body seemed to have solidified! She felt cold and frightened like never before!
