Chapter 295: Witchcraft 2
Zheng Jin hurriedly whispered, "Sister, don't talk nonsense about this. It's just a legend. Don't take it seriously. There is no evidence. If you bring this to the emperor, he will probably think that your sister is being unreasonable."
Qin Shushu gritted her teeth, looking like she would not give up.
"No, I must tell the emperor about this matter and find out the truth. Since that person used this method to harm me, by the way, the big tree, there is only one tree in the southwest corner of our Ning'an Palace. As long as the emperor sends someone to turn it over, they will definitely be able to find the note with my birth date and eight characters. Then the truth will be revealed. I must seek justice for my unborn child. Sister, when the emperor comes later, you will definitely help your sister, right?"
At this time, Qin Shushu reached out and held Zheng Jin tightly, treating her as a support.
Zheng Jin seemed to hesitate for a while, then nodded.
"Okay, sister, you and I have a deep sisterly bond, so I naturally cannot sit idly by and do nothing. I will definitely speak up for you, but, sister, I think you cannot say that it was the maid next to me who said it, otherwise, the emperor will probably not believe the words of a maid, and then he will probably not investigate further, and the child in your belly will have died in vain."
Seeing that Zheng Jin was willing to help her, Qin Shushu immediately nodded and agreed.
Sister, don't worry, you are sincere to me, so I naturally cannot involve you in this matter. Sister, I will never tell the emperor that it was your maid who said it."
Zheng Jin was relieved to see Qin Shushu agreed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the eunuch's announcement from outside the bedroom.
"The Emperor has arrived, the Empress has arrived"
Zheng Jin quickly stood up
Xie Yu and Lin Junxue came in, and Zheng Jin greeted them. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, greet the Empress."
When Qin Shushu saw Xie Yu, she immediately cried and said, "Your Majesty, you finally came to see me. My child is gone."
Before Xie Yu and Lin Junxue came in, they had already learned from the imperial physician that Qin Shushu's pregnancy had not been saved.
So, now when Xie Yu looked at Qin Shushu, who had lost her child, he had no sympathy at all.
Xie Yu stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Okay, there will be more in the future."
Qin Shushu felt nervous when she saw Xie Yu's cold attitude.
Lin Junxue stepped forward and said softly, "Shu Jieyu, please stop crying and don't hurt yourself anymore."
Qin Shushu looked at Lin Junxue, feeling resentful but not daring to vent her hatred. She could only speak reluctantly.
"Thank you very much, Queen, for your concern."
Zheng Jin stepped forward
"Your Majesty, Empress, Concubine Shu lost her child and was crying just now. I felt sorry for her just looking at her."
Qin Shushu quickly glanced at Zheng Jin. Xie Yu's expression relaxed a little when he heard this.
Thinking that Qin Shushu had a slipped tire after all, he still said something to comfort her.
Qin Shushu quickly took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, my body has always been good, and the imperial physician also said that the baby in my belly is also healthy and will not bleed suddenly. Someone must be trying to harm me and the baby in my belly."
When Xie Yu heard Qin Shushu insist that someone had harmed her, his brows furrowed.
"You said someone is trying to harm you? Just now, the Queen has already asked the imperial physician, and the physician said that there is nothing wrong with your diet. The palace has also checked carefully and there is nothing wrong. Well, stop imagining and just focus on taking care of your health."
Lin Junxue glanced at Qin Shushu indifferently. She had a premonition that the matter of Qin Shushu losing her child was probably not over yet.
It seems that the show is not over yet today!
At this time, Chen Mi and Sun Manrou also came. After greeting Xie Yu and Lin Junxue, they comforted Qin Shushu.
Sun Manrou was very happy, but who would have thought that Qin Shushu would bleed for no apparent reason and the baby was not saved.
Qin Shushu cried and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with my body, but someone used vicious means to harm me. Do you remember? When Emperor Shengzu was in power, the concubines in the harem had the same situation as me. Yes, they were used witchcraft."
As soon as this word comes out
The air pressure in the entire bedroom suddenly calmed down.
Lin Junxue looked at Qin Shushu's confident expression and paused. Witchcraft?
Xie Yu's face became visibly gloomy, and he didn't say a word.
Witchcraft was a taboo in the royal family. Anyone who mentioned it would be sentenced to death.
Qin Shushu looked at Xie Yu's expression and shrank her neck in fear.
Zheng Jin's eyes flashed slightly, and in a corner where no one was paying attention, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.
Chen Mi whispered, "Shu Jieyu, don't worry. The emperor has used thunderous means. This witchcraft has been banned long ago. How could anyone dare to use such a method to harm the child in your belly?"
When Xie Yu heard Chen Mi's words, his expression eased a little.
If witchcraft really occurred in the harem, wouldn't it mean that the emperor was incompetent and challenged his authority as an emperor?
Sun Manrou spoke only after she saw Chen Mi speak.
"Yes, Shu Jieyu, you lost your child, and it is understandable that you have wild thoughts for a while, but you can't say such things carelessly. What kind of witchcraft is this? The emperor has ordered that it be forbidden. Who dares to do this? It is a serious matter that will result in the execution of nine generations of your clan and the loss of your head."
Qin Shushu's face was red. She had already lost her mind due to Zheng Jin's instigation.
She yelled out of control, "No, Your Majesty, someone must have used this method to harm me. You have to take care of me and my child. Your Majesty, ask Eunuch Gao to send someone to investigate. They will surely find something in Ning'an Palace. It is said that witchcraft is useless to harm people. The birth date of the victim must be buried under a tree. Ask Eunuch Gao to go to the tree in the southwest corner and dig. You will know that someone must have wanted to harm me. Please, Your Majesty, take care of me."
for a while
Xie Yu turned to look at Lin Junxue who was standing there, and said in a deep voice, "Queen, what do you think about this matter?"
Qin Shushu looked at Lin Junxue nervously, and everyone's eyes fell on her.
Lin Junxue walked forward calmly and glanced at Qin Shushu, who was crying on the bed.
"Your Majesty, witchcraft has always been a big deal. Since Concubine Shu insisted that someone used witchcraft to harm her, if you don't investigate it thoroughly, Your Majesty and the concubines in the harem will not be able to rest easy. Why don't you listen to Concubine Shu? Your Majesty should send Gao Cheng to investigate Ning'an Palace thoroughly, and for peace of mind. If nothing is found, it would be the best. What do you think?"
Lin Junxue was sure that today's events were not simple.
Since witchcraft is involved, even if Xie Yu is angry, he will get to the bottom of this matter even if I don't say anything.
Qin Shushu was stunned. She didn't expect Lin Junxue to speak up for her.
She just thought that Lin Junxue would definitely try to stop her in every way, but she didn't expect this attitude.
Xie Yu was silent for a few seconds
"Okay, I'll listen to the Queen on this matter. I'll send Gao Cheng to thoroughly check the Ning'an Palace. Gao Cheng, go and lead the Imperial Guards to search the Ning'an Palace carefully."
Gao Cheng leaned forward and said, "Hey!"
Gao Cheng withdrew and led the Imperial Guards outside the door to conduct a thorough search of the entire Ning'an Palace.
