Chapter 1228: Chapter 1234: Miscarriage (4)

Xiang Yun didn’t want to encounter men from outside, so she had no choice but to hide in another room.

Old Lady Zhang pulled down the bed curtain and placed a thin silk handkerchief on Du Wanqing’s wrist, only then did she allow the Imperial Physician to enter for the diagnosis.

After the Imperial Physician entered, he examined Du Wanqing’s wrist for a while and shook his head as he said to Mo Zili, "Madam’s child in the womb can no longer be saved. The Adult’s physical condition is also worrying. From the pulse, it seems that Madam is at risk of hemorrhage. I will write you a prescription; please have someone quickly boil the medicine to prevent any further injuries to the Adult..."

Cool Autumn Pavilion was in chaos, yet today Grandmother, along with the first and the second lady, had gone to enter the palace. Now at home, only Mo Zijing’s wife, Lady Yang, was present, and since Lady Yang was just a sister-in-law from the main hall, it wasn’t appropriate for her to interfere too much with her younger brother-in-law’s family affairs. She merely sent over some tonics, saying it was for Miss Du to nourish her body. Meanwhile, she had people report to the palace to see if Grandmother could return early to attend to second room’s matters!

When the letter arrived, Grandmother was in the Jade Palace, persuading the Empress Dowager Mo.

In the morning, Empress Dowager Mo had been upset with Cai Wei and was both angry and resentful, so she sent someone to Duke Li Guo’s Mansion to call Grandmother and her two daughters-in-law to talk in the Palace. Firstly, she wanted to relieve her boredom and relax her mood, and secondly, she knew that her son always respected Grandmother and the two aunts, so she wanted them to speak on her behalf in front of her son, asking him not to always listen to Mu Caiwei and to release Zhao Yue soon.

Grandmother and the two ladies already knew about Empress Dowager Mo’s previous attempt to use Gu on Nangong Yi and felt that what she and her daughter did was rather excessive. Therefore, when Empress Dowager Mo asked them to mediate, not only did the three of them not agree to help, but they also advised Empress Dowager Mo not to make a fuss anymore. They suggested that she let the couple live their own loving days together while she stayed out of affairs as the Empress Dowager, content and quiet. Wouldn’t that be the greatest joy? Why must she interfere in the couple’s affairs, not only being unable to manage them but also causing the couple to take a dislike to her?

As for Zhao Yue, this Girl was truly too outrageous. Where is the sense in conspiring with others against one’s own brother? It would be good for her to temper her temperament in the Buddha Hall, and if she were forcibly released, she would surely cause trouble sooner or later!

Empress Dowager Mo hadn’t expected her mother and sisters-in-law not to support her but to speak for Mu Caiwei instead. She was very displeased and was about to dismiss them when a young eunuch came in to report the incident at Duke Li Guo’s Mansion. Upon hearing this, Grandmother hurriedly stood up to take her leave of the Empress Dowager, rushing back to the mansion with the two ladies!

Although Grandmother didn’t care much for Du Wanqing, she did care about the child in Du Wanqing’s stomach. Her three grandsons were already adults, with the oldest nearing thirty, yet she didn’t even have a great-grandchild. So, when she learned that Du Wanqing was pregnant, her first thought was to keep the child, and everything else, like whether the mother would stay or go, was to be considered later!

Outside the Palace, Grandmother and the two ladies called over the housekeeper who had delivered the news, incessantly asking about what had happened. The housekeeper didn’t know much, only hearing bits and pieces from others that the Young Madam and Miss Du had some discord. In a moment of anger, the Young Madam pushed Miss Du, leading to Miss Du losing the baby!

Grandmother and Lady Bai, learning that Du Wanqing had lost the child, felt very sad, but with the child already gone, there was no way to recover the loss. They, therefore, kept a stern face and refrained from speaking any further in discontent.

However, the first lady, Lady Wu, felt that things weren’t as simple as they seemed. Xiang Yun was her own niece and a child she had watched grow up; she understood Xiang Yun’s temperament and was certain Xiang Yun would not do something like pushing a pregnant woman. There must be more to this story.
