Wang Rong didn't even change her clothes as she went straight to the Western Warm Pavilion to sit. The imperial concubines all filed in, Imperial Consort Guo, imperial concubines and Imperial Lower Consort Yang kneeled down once again.

"You guys." Wang Rong sighed, "The punishment is unavoidable, but now that everyone is up, let me know what's going on."

The Imperial Consort Guo did not say anything, and the imperial concubine did not say anything, but the Imperial Lower Consort Yang opened her mouth and said, "First, Beauty Zhou saw that Hong had called me an imperial physician, and then the Imperial Noble Lady Ning and the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng were playing in the Gonghou Garden, startling the cat. The Imperial Noble Lady Ning tripped and fell on a rock, and coincidentally dragged the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng along. As for the Imperial Lower Consort Lan, it seems like the fragrance of his concubine is coming towards him. Even though the Imperial Physician is still carrying it around with him, and although it might not be good, there's still no bad news. "

"How can beauty Zhou be popular?" Wang Rong He asked.

"Empress, I have been wronged." The concubine suddenly kneeled down and said, "Beauty Zhou and this concubine live together in the same palace. This concubine has often asked her to come over to greet you after seeing that you are pregnant. This concubine also cares a little about this elder sister of mine. "I truly did not expect that Beautiful Zhou would be so weak. To be able to give birth to such a small child in front of me, I can't even speak clearly."

"Is Beauty Zhou's mama here?" Wang Rong asked with a raised voice.

"Wait outside the hall, waiting for the Empress to ask a question." The Imperial Lower Consort Yang said.

"Call me in." Wang Rong He said.

Beauty Zhou's mama only passed away after her pregnancy. In order to prevent such a tragedy when she was still a child in the Imperial Lower Consort Lan, she would send an experienced mama to each of her pregnant wives.

Beauty Zhou's mama came into the hall to kneel down and pay her respects. "Why is Beauty Zhou being so prodigal?" Wang Rong asked.

"When Beauty Zhou was pregnant, the esteemed mistress, as the head of the palace, would frequently call her over. Standing alone for an entire day, she would frequently call the beauty over to chat at night. The beauty had stood for a long time, and she had not rested well, so she slipped." Mammy lowered her head.

Wang Rong He looked at his concubine, who was panicking. "This concubine only followed the rules of nobility and didn't deliberately make things difficult for her, okay, this concubine does have a snack to make her jealous, and she's also in the palace, so this concubine is worried that she might become pregnant and become proud." "Therefore, I deliberately emphasized the order of respect, but I really didn't expect her to be so mischievous. I didn't do it on purpose."

Wang Rong sneered. "Order of honor? In my Kunning Palace, have you ever stood still and understood the order of respect? "You did not mean it. You did not have any mercy."

"This concubine knows her wrongs. Empress, please save me."

"The Empress won't be able to save you. It all depends on your majesty's decision. " She asked the mama, "I asked you to go to Beauty Zhou to take care of her pregnancy. Why didn't you advise her if you sensed something was amiss? Even if you were to report it to Palace Manager Cui, she would let those who should know why she would only say it after seeing the beauty, what's the use of having you like this? "

"This servant wants to go up to the heavens and listen, but this concubine is watching us. If it wasn't for the concubine right now, this servant wouldn't dare say anything. This servant said it was light and easy, but Beauty Zhou is still in the imperial concubine palace. What would happen after that?" The mama's face was filled with grief and indignation.

Wang Rong gazed at the concubine kneeling at her feet, "Your concubine truly has a great prestige. I am ashamed of myself."

"I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again." "Your concubine cried in grief." I just wanted her to stand, but I didn't expect her to be so weak that she would slip if I stood on her feet. If I knew, how would I dare? "The Empress knows that I am the most cowardly person."

"Leave these words for Your Majesty." Wang Rong He said, "If Your Majesty is willing to meet you once more." After that, he ignored her and asked Imperial Lower Consort Yang.

"Then what about Imperial Lower Consort Zheng and Imperial Noble Lady Ning? I remember that the two of them are not from the same palace, how can we go visit Gonghou Garden together? And why is the cat startled? " Wang Rong asked.

"It was Imperial Lower Consort Zheng who invited her to play in the Gonghou Garden, Cat," Imperial Lower Consort Yang glanced at Imperial Consort Guo, who answered, "The cat is from my palace, but no one is holding it, the cat wouldn't go to the Gonghou Garden at all, because there are too many concubines pregnant in the palace. I repeatedly told the girl who serves the cat that she must obediently keep the cat in the Yi Kun Palace, so as to not miss a cat's life."

"When I heard that the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng and the Imperial Noble Lady Ning had frightened the cat in the Gonghou Garden, and then called for my voodoo slave, but they were not in the palace, I knew that it was not good, and immediately sent people to grab the cat and the people inside. I knew that I was no longer able to escape from this situation, and I couldn't even defend myself, and only hoped that Your Majesty and the Empress would be able to see through everything and know that I was completely innocent." The Imperial Consort Guo said.

"Where are the man and the cat?" Wang Rong asked.

"By the time I arrived, it was already too late. That lowly servant saw the two concubines who had been harmed by the cat and felt afraid. She brought the cat with her and threw it into a well." The Imperial Consort Guo said.

"Why did the consorts suddenly flock to the Jingyang Palace in droves?"

"Because there are many rumors in the palace that saying that Imperial Lower Consort Lan has Dragon Heel after serving her two times both times is a secret, that they all agreed to go to Imperial Lower Consort Lan together with a low-ranked concubine to obtain her scripture. Imperial Lower Consort Lan has a good temper, although it is not really a secret, but when an concubine visits, she will only receive them patiently. The concubines were wearing various scented packets, and maybe the scents inside were clashing, causing Imperial Lower Consort Lan to appear unstable. " The Imperial Lower Consort Yang said.

"Truly, all of them are doing well." Wang Rong He said.

The rest of the concubines kept quiet and did not dare to breathe too loudly.

"You guys can go back first. I should pay my respects to the empress dowager." She asked the Imperial Lower Consort Yang, "Call in the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng from outside the hall."

Wang Rong and the two palace maid s changed clothes and explained what had happened on that day to each other outside. Imperial Noble Lady Ning said that it was Imperial Lower Consort Zheng's Gonghou Garden which had sent someone else over.

"Your highness previously did not have much contact with the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng Empress, so the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng suddenly asked her to go to the Gonghou Garden, and said that it was to exchange information about the changes in her body after her pregnancy. Her highness did not want to go, but upon thinking that the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng was his highness' favorite concubine, she could only go, and did not expect such a thing to happen, if the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng did not do it on purpose, how could it be so coincidental?"

As for the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng, she continued to wail and wail, "The Imperial Lower Consort Liu Empress has gone to the Ying Tai, and the Imperial Lower Consort Lan Empress and the Imperial Lower Consort Jing Empress have not been able to come out of it. When Beauty Zhou was in the palace of the esteemed concubine, she accompanied the esteemed mistress and chatted with her every single day.

"The kitten was an accident, the Imperial Noble Lady Ning was an accident, and the Imperial Lower Consort Zheng was completely innocent. When the Imperial Noble Lady Ning fell, he was at least three steps away from the Empress, but when the Imperial Noble Lady Ning fell, he purposely fell towards the Empress, and even tugged, causing the Empress to fall on the stone bench.

After Wang Rong and the others changed their clothes, the palace maid who were scolding each other shut their mouths and lowered their heads, waiting for the empress's judgement.

"Alright, go wait outside the hall." Wang Rong He said to the people around him after they left, "Not a single one of them is innocent."

Gu Yanxi who had gone to the Jingyang Palace returned to report, "The imperial physician said that the Empress' womb is a little dangerous."

"Not a word?" Wang Rong asked.

"But the imperial physician who went with me to the Jingyang Palace said after checking his pulse that even though it looks dangerous, there's no problem in preserving it." Gu Yanxi said.

"It seems like Imperial Lower Consort Lan has also learnt her lesson." Wang Rong She said. She asked again, "What is the cause of the fetal instability? "It really is fragrant."

"It's the fragrance." Gu Yanxi said, "Even though the Empress said before she left that the palace was not to use the aphrodisiac incense, there are still some in my concubines' hands, and they have not been collected."

"You're bringing an entertaining incense to visit an imperial concubine?" Wang Rong was stunned.

"The smell of abortion is rare and easy to find." Gu Yanxi said, "The aphrodisiac also has an effect, and if discovered, it can call someone innocent. I didn't know that the incense could have such an effect."

"I really couldn't tell." Wang Rong He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. "And here I thought that all the people in this palace are little sheep."

After packing up, they headed to the Ci'an Palace. Wang Rong and Rong Chang hoped that this round child could alleviate Empress Dowager Li's bad mood.

When Zhu Yijun arrived at Ci'an Palace, he saw that Empress Dowager Li was bedridden. Zhu Yijun kneeled in front of the bed and said, "Your son is unfilial and caused Mother to worry."

"This one only feels heartache. Your Majesty's luck is too bad." It was obvious that things weren't going well for the son of the emperor. It was hard for him to get lucky and he managed to get into a good mood, but he actually produced three sons in one go.

"Now that the matter has come to this, mother should not be anxious about it. There will still be more in the future." Zhu Yijun said, "If mother is too anxious, how can I let son rest easy?"

"Empress, empress is here." palace maid came to report.

The Empress Dowager Li let Zhu Yijun stand up, and after Wang Rong greeted him, she said, "Rong Chang also pays her respects to Royal Grandmother."

The little person was hugged by the wet nurse and was bowing. His round eyes were fixed on the person lying on the bed. This person had seen very little and was somewhat curious.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, look at Princess Rong Chang's good looks. She's such a small fry, you can tell at a glance it's worth it."

Empress Dowager Li also nodded after hearing what she said, and waved for the wet nurse to place the child by her side. She touched her face, and then pinched her chubby arm, "It's a healthy child."

"She then looked at Wang Rong He, and her eyes were not as gentle as before." The empress is blessed, and only hopes that this blessing can be shared with the harem. "

Wang Rong He kneeled down in front of Empress Dowager Li's bed when he heard this, "This son has a guilty conscience."

The more Zhu Yijun wanted to speak up to defend the Queen, the more Wang Rong pulled on his sleeves to prevent him from speaking. At this point in time, words could only be added fuel to the fire.

"Do you know what the situation is?" Empress Dowager Li asked. She asked someone to carry the Little Princess away, so she could not hear any more about the marinade.

The Empress Dowager Li did not call out, so Wang Rong She replied while kneeling, "The Imperial Lower Consort Lan has already gone to the imperial physician. Although it is dangerous, it can protect Wuyou. Your son has allowed her to rest in peace. "

"Mm, let's talk about victory." The Empress Dowager Li sighed and said.

"Beauty Zhou only lost her virginity after standing for a long time because she had established a rule in front of her concubine." Wang Rong He said.

"Rules?" "How could her concubine allow a pregnant beauty to set up a rule in front of her? If it wasn't for the fact that the palace head made her expand, where did her courage come from?"

"Your concubine's actions truly hurt me. Our Queen and I have always treated her as our servant ever since she was young, and have repeatedly flattered her over and over again. It's clear that she can't be of much use." Zhu Yijun said, "Then let her go to the Qin'an Hall to cultivate, to pray for that pitiful child of Beauty Zhou."

"I don't want to see her again for the rest of my life." Zhu Yijun added.

"Imperial Noble Lady Ning is someone who was invited by Imperial Lower Consort Zheng to go to Gonghou Garden, and the cat is Imperial Consort Guo's cat. However, Imperial Consort Guo said that she had long restricted palace maid from carrying the cat and going to Consort who was pregnant, in case there were any mishaps. She only realised that the cat was not there when she heard that Imperial Noble Lady Ning and Imperial Lower Consort Zheng were startled by the cat in the Gonghou Garden.

"The Imperial Lower Consort Zheng said that cats are meant for the Imperial Noble Lady Ning, but when the Imperial Noble Lady Ning fell, he pulled at her cat, causing him to fall and give birth." Wang Rong She continued.

"Not a single one can escape." "The Empress Dowager Li snorted coldly. Your Majesty, what do you say about this situation? "

"What does the queen think?" Oblivious to the difficulty, the emperor asked Wang Ronghe.

"First, let the concubine rest in the palace for a month." Wang Yunhe said, "A copy of the Heart Sutra, both to maintain the body, but also to meditate."

"All of the palace maid s who are involved in concubines' personal service will be staying at the Palace Manager Bureau for a month, and if there are no problems, then we will return to serve them." Wang Rong He said. If there's a problem, then we'll solve it according to the problem. "

"The empress's actions were very appropriate." Zhu Yijun said, "Mother, what do you think?"

"You see, I've only been back to the palace for half a day, and I've already settled all these matters. I had to leave the palace and have my concubine come to the palace to take control, which is why such a disaster occurred." The Empress Dowager Li said, "That cat and human have to be clear."

"I'm from the province of ChenChen." Wang Rong He said.

"Imperial Consort Guo will first pay the penalty of half a year's worth of silver, and the remaining supplies will be reduced by half. After all, it doesn't matter if she was the one who ordered it or not, it's still her palace cat. Wang Rong He said.

"Then that's it." The Empress Dowager Li said, "This one is tired. Your Majesty and the Queen can take their leave."
