In the palace late at night, the moonlight was like water, and the emperor quietly listened to Concubine Shu reciting the imperial poem he had written for Empress Xiaoxian outside the window.Every sentence is full of affection, and every word reveals sorrow.Concubine Shu's voice was trembling, and she couldn't help but sigh: If she leaves one day, will the emperor still remember her?
The Emperor walked into the room, his face full of concern.He told Concubine Shu to take good care of her body, because she had just lost her tenth brother, and the grief almost tore her heart.Concubine Shu's body was already weak. She finally got pregnant, but she still couldn't keep it.She knew that she was sorry for the emperor, and this guilt weighed on her heart like a huge stone.
The emperor took Concubine Shu into his arms, trying to use warmth to dispel the gloom in her heart.He told Concubine Shu not to think wildly and that he would always be by her side.The emperor was moved by Concubine Shu's friendship and personally gave her medicine.Looking at Concubine Shu's sleeping face, the emperor made up his mind that when Concubine Shu recovered from her illness, he would treat her well.
In another corner of the palace, the queen was taking a walk in the spring scenery of Wuling and heard that the emperor had been here yesterday.Yan Wan came up with a plan and prepared to sing here to wait for the emperor.However, Ruyi heard Yan Wan's voice, and she asked Rong Pei to go check it out.Rong Pei came to Yan Wan and conveyed the queen's decree: those who sing joyful lyrics and songs during the funeral of the tenth prince must kneel in front of the tenth prince's soul for a day and a night.
Yanwan was dissatisfied, so she went to Jinzhong to tell her the matter.It turns out that all this is Jinzhong's plan.He was jealous of Ling Yunche's favor after returning to the palace, and deliberately spread wrong news to let the emperor come to Wuling Chunse.Yan Wan wanted Jin Zhong to help her win favor, but Jin Zhong told her that the emperor currently loves Concubine Shu very much. If she is allowed to survive safely, it will be more difficult for Yan Wan to regain his favor in the future.
When Concubine Shu was walking in the palace, she accidentally met Yan Wan kneeling in front of the eleventh prince's soul.Yan Wan burst into tears and told her misfortune. She told Concubine Shu that she had had a child before, but was unable to keep it due to various reasons.Concubine Shu was shocked. She had never heard that Yan Wan was pregnant.
Yan Wan took the opportunity to take out the pregnancy-inducing medicine that Shu Fei had drunk, and told Shu Fei that she had secretly drank her pregnancy-inducing medicine.However, this pregnancy-inducing drug was actually a contraceptive pill, and it was precisely for this reason that she had never been able to get pregnant.Concubine Shu couldn't believe it. She insisted that she had never heard of such a thing.However, Yan Wan produced the diagnoses of several famous doctors to prove that what she said was true.
Concubine Shu's heart was filled with huge waves, and it was difficult for her to accept this fact.She pushed Yan Wan away and rushed into the Yangxin Hall.She knelt before the emperor and asked him what the pregnancy medicine he gave her was.The emperor insisted that it was a pregnancy-inducing medicine prescribed by the Imperial Hospital, but Concubine Shu said that she had asked someone to investigate and found out that the pregnancy-inducing medicine was actually a pregnancy-preventing medicine.
The emperor asked Concubine Shu not to get to the bottom of the matter, otherwise it would only increase the pain.However, Concubine Shu insisted on knowing the truth.She asked the emperor if he did this because of the queen mother. She had been in a dilemma for many years, but her sincere dedication had become a pawn for the emperor and the queen mother.The emperor thought that Concubine Shu did not understand his situation. He wanted to make up for Concubine Shu, but he did not expect that she would give up on him first.
Concubine Shu felt chilled, and she regretted her love for the emperor back then.She said goodbye to the emperor and walked out of the Yangxin Hall.She asked the palace people to leave and returned to the room.Concubine Shu touched the clothes she had made for her tenth brother and the imperial poems she had written. The pain in her heart was indescribable.She burned the royal poem and then set the house on fire.
Everyone discovered that there was water in the palace and hurriedly came to put out the fire.The queen also rushed to Concubine Shu's palace, but the fire was too strong to save her.The queen was extremely anxious. She suddenly felt a burst of abdominal pain and collapsed on the ground.The queen was carried back to the palace and was about to give birth.The emperor rushed to Yikun Palace to visit the queen and asked the palace people not to tell the queen about Concubine Shu's death.At this time, the queen gave birth to a princess, and the emperor happily named her Princess Heyi.
However, the turmoil in the palace did not subside.Concubine Chun noticed that the fifth princess's face turned purple, and Imperial Physician Jiang also noticed something was wrong.He hurriedly reported to the emperor that the fifth princess had a heart disease. There was no precedent for curing this disease, so she could only be raised carefully and not be frightened.The emperor was extremely anxious and asked the imperial doctors to come for diagnosis and treatment.
The emperor thought that the day of Concubine Shu's death was the day of the birth of the fifth princess, and he suspected that Concubine Shu had brought this bad luck to the fifth princess.Due to the death of Concubine Shu and the floods in the south, Ruyi's rewards for delivering grandma were halved in order to accumulate virtue for the princess.However, this decision caused dissatisfaction among the palace people.
Grandma Tian had no money to treat her daughter because of the reduction in rewards, so she approached Yan Wan for help.Yan Wan gave Grandma Tian a sum of money and told her that she would use it in the future.In order to save her daughter, Grandma Tian had no choice but to accept the money.
