Chapter 029: Call the shots
"Su Qingqing, you are so insolent! Someone, take this shameless Princess Zhao down for me!"
The Queen Mother stood up and shouted angrily.
Immediately, palace servants from outside the palace rushed in to arrest Su Qingqing.
"ah!"
But the moment the palace servants came in, the nanny and Su Yunyun, who had been drugged by Su Qingqing, collapsed to the ground with screams.
The nanny was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out all over her body. She hunched over like a shrimp and screamed with a trembling voice and bared teeth.
"Yunyun, Yunyun, how are you?" The queen squatted down anxiously to support Yunyun.
Su Yunyun's lower abdomen hurt so much that she almost passed out. She was gasping for breath and shaking all over.
Su Qingqing held her head high and shook off the palace servants who were trying to arrest her. "Oh, this girl and this nanny drank the abortion medicine that the Queen Mother prepared for you, and both had miscarriages! Oh my God!"
Rong Que almost laughed out loud.
He took a step forward, pulled Su Qingqing behind him, and looked at the Queen Mother with a sullen face, "Grandmother, what do you mean?"
What can the Queen Mother say!
Could she say that the medicine she prepared was originally a bleeding drug?
Could she say that her original intention was to make the prince a laughing stock of the people and to make Su Qingqing unable to raise her head forever and be banned in the inner house?
Who would have thought that Su Qingqing didn't drink the medicine she was supposed to drink!
Now, Su Yunyun and the nanny were bleeding profusely.
The Queen Mother was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She had never been so angry in all the years since she became the Queen Mother, but she couldn't say anything.
Su Qingqing, standing behind Rong Que, said to the imperial physician who had just felt her pulse, "Doctors are kind-hearted. Go and see the patients. There is a man in his fifties and an unmarried girl who both had miscarriages. Are you just going to watch and do nothing?"
The imperial physician knelt on the ground, cold sweat dripping down his face, and he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head.
Rong Que picked up the medicine bowl on the ground and asked, "What exactly did the Imperial Grandmother prepare for my grandson's Crown Princess? Why did Nanny Gui and Su Yunyun both miscarry after drinking the medicine? Are they really pregnant? Whose child is Su Yunyun's? Second Imperial Brother's?"
The queen was originally supporting Su Yunyun. Upon hearing this, she turned around and said, "How dare you! Your second brother and Su Yunyun are innocent..."
Rong Que sneered, "Then, whose child is Su Yunyun's?"
Su Yunyun felt so painful that she was about to die, but she had to defend herself, "I am still a girl, how could I be pregnant!"
This defense was like a slap in the face of the Queen Mother.
Rong Que stared at the Queen Mother without blinking, waiting for her to give an explanation.
Just then, the palace maid outside reported that the emperor had arrived.
The moment the emperor stepped in, Su Qingqing, who was originally standing behind Rong Que, rushed towards the emperor crying.
emperor:!
The emperor stopped immediately, and Su Qingqing knelt down in front of the emperor's toes, "Father, please help me! I was also a precious princess in Zhao Kingdom, why am I here, on my first day, a happy day for tea, and I have to be poisoned like this!"
Su Qingqing cried with grievance and a hoarse voice, which was completely different from the murderous her just now.
Rong Que looked at Su Qingqing and once again refreshed his understanding of this person.
The emperor frowned and looked towards the hall.
In the main hall, there was a pool of blood under Nanny Gui's body, and she had fainted from the pain.
Su Yunyun huddled at the Queen's feet, whimpering in pain, with a pool of blood beneath her.
Rong Que clasped his fists and reported, "The Crown Princess felt nauseous and retched after drinking the tea given by the Imperial Grandmother. Imperial Doctor Sun said that the Crown Princess was three months pregnant, and the Imperial Grandmother ordered people to prepare a miscarriage soup. The Crown Princess was afraid that the soup was poisonous, so she asked Nanny Gui and Su Yunyun to taste it. As a result, before the Crown Princess drank the medicine, the two had already started to miscarry."
What Rong Que said was half true and half false, but in the current situation, who would care about his little lie for embellishment?
The emperor looked at the queen mother with a sullen face. The queen mother avoided his gaze and snorted heavily, "I am just angry. She is the crown princess, how can she have such bad character!"
This blame is put on Doctor Sun.
But Imperial Doctor Sun did not dare to say a word in his defense. He just knelt there with his head on the ground, shaking uncontrollably.
The emperor still couldn't understand what was happening!
"Come here, drag Doctor Sun away and punish him with a hundred strokes of the cane!"
At Dr. Sun's age, a hundred strokes of the cane would be like killing him. He cried out, "Empress Dowager, save me!"
The Queen Mother has no other way to save him, how can she save him given the current situation?
The Queen Mother said nothing and let Doctor Sun be dragged away.
Doctor Sun shouted to the Empress Dowager for help, but he didn't dare to say anything. If he said it, what would happen to his whole family, young and old!
Doctor Sun was taken away. Su Qingqing cried and wiped her tears. "Father, you are wise. I am not pregnant. I am innocent. If you don't believe me, you can ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince whether I was innocent last night."
emperor:!
You want me to ask this?
Is it suitable?
After glancing at Su Qingqing, the Emperor looked at the Queen Mother with an expression as if his eyes were pierced by a needle, "Who prepared the tea?"
Just as these words fell, a palace maid ran in in a panic, "Empress Dowager, it's bad, Cuihong committed suicide!"
Su Qingqing...
have to!
The tea prepared by Cuihong!
Su Qingqing sniffed heartbrokenly, "I don't know who prepared that medicine. It's a good abortion medicine, why did Nanny Gui and Su Yunyun bleed? I don't know if this medicine is harmful to the body. Will I be able to get pregnant again in the future?"
Su Yunyun forced herself to listen to Su Qingqing's words despite the pain.
Can I get pregnant?
sky!
If she can't get pregnant, can she still marry the Second Prince as a concubine?
The queen was also startled and subconsciously looked at the queen mother.
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth in hatred!
This medicine was specially prepared by her for Su Qingqing, so it was naturally very strong and extremely harmful to her body. How could she possibly get pregnant again!
After Su Qingqing finished speaking, no one responded, and Su Yunyun's heart began to beat fast.
She gritted her teeth and endured the pain in her swollen lower abdomen. She trembled and grabbed the hem of the queen's clothes, "Your Majesty, can I still get pregnant?"
Su Qingqing answered, "If you really can't get pregnant, don't hate the Queen and the Queen Mother. They didn't intend to give you the drink!"
This statement couldn't be more straightforward.
The Queen Mother was embarrassed and scolded, "Would I target you specifically?"
Su Qingqing turned around and asked, "Then why did it take less than a cup of tea for a bowl of abortion pills to be served from the time they were requested? Whose pills are so quick to make?"
The Queen Mother was speechless.
As for today's matter, as long as Su Qingqing drinks the medicine, everything will be fine!
But she didn't drink!
The Queen Mother wished she could strangle Su Qingqing to death.
Su Qingqing kowtowed to the emperor and said, "I hope your Majesty can make the decision for me."
"Madame Gui, be beaten to death!"
As soon as the emperor said this, the queen mother looked at him angrily, "Madame Gui has been with me all my life! The emperor won't even let her go?"
The emperor looked at the queen mother with a gloomy face, "Then who do you think I should execute? The culprit!"
The Queen Mother was speechless!
Su Qingqing sat on the ground, crying intermittently, urging the emperor to solve the problem quickly with her crying, "My son and Madam Gui have no grudges against each other, why did she harm my son for no reason!"
Rong Que raised his eyelids.
It is obvious that Su Qingqing is not going to give up until she plays a big game today!
