Since becoming pregnant with the Imperial Lineage, although Consort Xi has received the Emperor's care in many ways, she feels powerless when it comes to ensuring her comfort.
Recently, however, Consort Hua has regained the Emperor's favor, and for several nights, he has slept in Consort Hua's chambers.
"Your Highness, why are you not worried at all..." Consort Xi's personal maid said anxiously. "What if Consort Hua also becomes pregnant with the Imperial Lineage? What will we do then..."
"Worried?" A smile curled at the corners of Consort Xi's mouth as she casually replied, "I am indeed quite worried."
"Your Highness, the miscarriage medicine has been prepared."
Consort Xi glanced at the medicinal concoction and waved her hand to dismiss them. She then poured the medicine into a potted plant with a nonchalant gesture.
"Your Highness, you should drink at least a few sips. If you keep pouring it out like this, the Emperor will find out."
The sudden voice startled Consort Xi. She turned to see Bu Lanchan bowing gracefully before her.
"Bu Lanchan pays respects to Your Highness."
The frown that had clouded Consort Xi's face lifted as she smiled gently, as if seeing a dear friend. "It's you."
Bu Lanchan glanced at the remnants of the medicine and frowned slightly but chose not to comment.
Consort Xi disdainfully tossed the bowl aside and said, "This medicine is simply too bitter. Since the child is gone, I have no desire to drink it. But what about you, Bu Lanchan? Have you managed to carry out my instructions?"
"Everything is under the Empress's arrangement," Bu Lanchan nodded.
Consort Xi sneered, "That wretched woman hides herself well. Years ago, she caused Consort Rou to miscarry, and now she dares to scheme against me."
A bitter pang coursed through her heart, and a flicker of hatred flashed in her eyes.
A few months ago, she had been overjoyed to conceive the Imperial Lineage, but unexpectedly, less than a month later, one day she began to experience severe pain in her abdomen, and the fetus was lost just like that.
She was filled with dread; she had staked her entire life on this pregnancy, and now it had vanished inexplicably!
How could she not harbor resentment?
Out of fear and lacking evidence, she dared not tell the Emperor or the Empress Dowager. The maid who knew the truth had already been silenced by her.
Only Bu Lanchan knew; it was she who had taught her how to attract the Emperor's attention and conceive the Imperial Lineage.
Upon hearing this, Bu Lanchan's clear eyes were as tranquil as flowing water. "Your Highness, I have a way to pin the miscarriage on Consort Hua. This will not only secure your position but also eliminate Consort Hua. All you need to do is continue pretending to be with child and perform a little act with me."
For several consecutive days, the Emperor had remained in Consort Hua's chambers, causing many of the palace beauties' hearts to shatter. Their resentment towards Consort Xi had all shifted onto Consort Hua, leaving them only able to stew in their anger.
Who was Hua Consort's brother? He was a first-rank General.
Recently, he had been thriving in court; his sister enjoyed favor before the Emperor, and he had received numerous rewards from His Majesty.
His old rival, the Chancellor, looked pale and haggard. Not only had his daughter been branded with the scandalous title of a promiscuous consort, but she had also taken her own life by hanging.
Now, in the court, it was not the Chancellor who stood above all others, but him.
That night, the moonlight was dim, shrouded by dark clouds that obscured much of its glow. The entire palace was enveloped in a chilling atmosphere.
"My stomach hurts... it hurts so much..." Consort Xi suddenly clutched her abdomen, curling up in pain. Cold sweat dripped from her forehead as blood trickled down her legs, slowly staining the silk quilt beneath her a deep crimson.
" Imperial Physician Fu! Imperial Physician Fu!" A maid cried out in alarm, her face filled with panic as she rushed out the door, her steps unsteady.
