Chapter 201 Fetal Movement Disturbance
Concubine Qi sneered and glared at Chan Yi before turning around to answer, "Concubine Zhao, you don't know that this lowly maid deliberately blocked my sedan chair, causing me to almost fall off the sedan chair!"
Concubine Qi is good at telling lies with her eyes open.
"Even though Lady Qi said so, I can't just believe your one-sided words." Xia Dongchun gave Chan Yi a look, signaling her to be at ease, and then said, "Chan Yi, you speak."
Chan Yi knelt down and kowtowed: "To answer your Majesty, I am really wronged. I followed your Majesty's instructions and went to tell Concubine Qing. Then I wanted to come back to serve you. But I met Concubine Qi on the way. After I bowed according to the rules, Concubine Qi grabbed me without any reason."
"Noble Lady Qi, it seems that you are being unreasonable!" Xia Dongchun slammed the table, pointed at Noble Lady Qi and scolded.
Osmanthus incense was burning in the hibiscus stone glass ear-covered incense burner. Xu Zhiyun had checked it and said it would have no effect on the fetus in the womb.
When Concubine Qi smelled the fragrance, she did not feel refreshed. Instead, she became more irritated because of the grade of the osmanthus fragrance: "Why would I be so unreasonable and vexatious against a little slave girl? Even if Concubine Zhao wanted to protect me, she shouldn't slander me like this!"
"Lady Qi is so bold!" Xia Dongchun supported her waist and stood up. "Whether Chan Yi is guilty or not is not up to you alone. Don't keep calling her a 'slut'. Since it happened on the palace road, there must be palace maids, eunuchs or guards passing by. If Lady Qi wants to make a big fuss, why not just report to the emperor and question everyone who passed by at the time to see if it was our maid who made the mistake, or if Lady Qi was in a bad mood and wanted to take it out on our maid!"
Concerned about what she was thinking, Concubine Qi felt guilty for a moment, but soon she regained her arrogant look: "Investigate if you want, but no matter what, there is no need to trouble the emperor, just report back to the queen!"
At that moment, Concubine Qi's stupid brain suddenly became clever. She thought, the Queen Mother is worrying about how to deal with the babies in Concubine Chun and Concubine Zhao's belly. Isn't this a good opportunity?
If she took the opportunity to make a big deal out of this matter and let the Queen Mother deal with it, the Queen Mother would definitely be on her side. Even if she couldn't do anything to Xia Dongchun directly, she could just make her angry. Who knows, maybe Xia Dongchun is an unlucky person, and she would be so angry that her fetus would be restless, so it would be best if she had a miscarriage?
Xia Dongchun also figured out Concubine Qi's intention, and immediately pinched Yunling's hand that was supporting her, and pointed at Concubine Qi with her other free finger. Then her legs went limp, and she cried out, "Concubine Qi is really going too far - Yunling, Yunling, my stomach hurts so much."
Yun Ling was very cooperative and was shocked: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, Your Majesty?! Call the imperial physician! Chan Yi, go call the imperial physician!"
Chan Yi was very smart. When she heard this, she immediately got up from the ground and ran out: "I will go get the imperial physician right away!"
After helping Xia Dongchun sit down, Yun Ling cried again: "Mrs. Qi, you are so cruel! Why did you contradict our queen like this, causing our queen to have blood and qi rushing to her head and causing her fetus to move restlessly?!"
Concubine Qi was stunned. She didn't expect that she didn't need to report the matter to the Empress. Xia Dongchun was so relaxed that her fetus was already moving restlessly. She was delighted.
But she soon realized - that's not right, if she did that, wouldn't she be unable to clean herself up?
Yun Ling shouted with all her might, immediately attracting all the palace maids and eunuchs on duty in the Yanx Palace.
Although the palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to whisper in front of their masters, they all glanced at Concubine Qi, and their meaning was very clear.
Concubine Qi was also panicked. She didn't want Xia Dongchun to give birth safely, but no matter how stupid she was, she didn't want to harm others so blatantly, and she didn't want to have anything to do with herself in the matter.
Seeing the chaos in the Yanx Palace, Concubine Qi subconsciously wanted to leave quickly.
But Yin Zhu, who had just come out of the small kitchen, stopped him and said, "Where do you want to go, Concubine Qi? You want to leave just because you disturbed our queen's pregnancy?!"
Concubine Qi was blocked by Yin Zhu in front of her and she reached out to push Yin Zhu away.
But she was blocked by Yin Zhu and was almost pushed to the ground. She didn't expect Yin Zhu to be so strong.
Yin Zhu straightened his back and said, "Lady Qi, you dare not take responsibility for what you did. Are you going to flee back to your own palace?"
Concubine Qi was stopped and couldn't leave, but she was unwilling to admit that she was guilty, so she had to stay for the time being.
Not long after, Xu Zhiyun came running in, sweating all over. He didn't care about any rules or etiquette and hurriedly took Xia Dongchun's pulse.
As Concubine Qi watched this scene, she became more and more flustered. If this got to the emperor's attention, he would definitely be angry with her even if the heir in Concubine Zhao's belly was fine.
Seeing Chan Yi standing there panting, Yin Zhu knew what was going on and wanted to give her a chance to make a contribution: "Chan Yi, report this matter to the emperor truthfully and ask him to come and seek justice for our queen."
“You are not allowed to go!” Concubine Qi grabbed Chan Yi in panic and forced herself to calm down and explain, “I…if Chan Yi hadn’t bumped into me first, I wouldn’t have come to Concubine Zhao to ask for an explanation. In the end, this matter can’t be blamed on me!”
"Lady Qi, you should wait until the emperor comes to tell him these things!" Yin Zhu reached out and pulled Chan Yi over, then turned around and told Chan Yi, "Go quickly!"
Chan Yi didn't dare to delay any longer. She didn't even care about what she had just done when she ran back from the Imperial Hospital, and ran out again quickly.
Concubine Qi was anxious but there was nothing she could do.
With such a big commotion here, An Lingrong was in the Yanx Palace too, so there was no way she didn't know about it.
But she planned to wait a little longer and show up when the emperor arrived. Now... just watch the fool Concubine Qi dig her own grave.
It must be said that Chan Yi cherished this opportunity very much and she was quick enough to invite Yinzhen in about an incense stick of time.
Yinzhen was originally reviewing memorials and was planning to go to Suiyuxuan to sit for a while after reviewing them. Suddenly, someone came to report that something happened in the Yanx Palace. Concubine Qi had contradicted Concubine Zhao, which made her so angry that her fetus was moving restlessly.
Yinzhen immediately brought his men to the Yanx Palace.
"Your Majesty..." When Concubine Qi saw Yinzhen, she was about to take a step forward, but then she remembered why Yinzhen came, so she took her foot back and bowed, "Greetings to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty be well."
"Will you be safe?" Yinzhen passed by Concubine Qi and glanced at her with cold eyes. "How can I be safe when there are people like you 'running around' in the harem?"
