Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

At this moment, Miaoyun had already helped Su Jingyao take off her palace dress and carefully removed her makeup.

Su Jingyao frowned deeply, her pale face looking so pitiful that it made one's heart ache.

She clutched her stomach, and finally, large tears streamed down her pale cheeks, leaving heartbreaking tear tracks.

"Your Majesty, it hurts so much!"

Su Jingyao's voice trembled, filled with pain and helplessness.

"Where does Yao Yao hurt? The imperial physician will be here soon. Yao Yao will be alright."

Jun Zechen's face was filled with an unprecedented panic. He had never shown his emotions since becoming emperor, but his panic was so obvious now.

Even when he fiercely competed with his brothers for the position of crown prince and faced life-threatening situations, he was never so panicked.

He feared she had fallen into the trap set by some treacherous women in the harem, feared she had been poisoned, feared any mishap that might happen to her...

"My stomach, my stomach hurts so much, Your Majesty..."

Su Jingyao choked back tears, her voice sounding as if it were being squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with pain.

Actually, the worst of the pain is over. Just now, she was in so much pain that she could barely speak, but now she can start performing.

She wanted to make her slight pain in Jun Zechen's heart feel tenfold pain.

Jun Zechen had no idea how to alleviate her pain and was so anxious that he was at a loss.

He could only gently place his large hand on her abdomen and massage it softly.

"Your Majesty, I'm scared! Why am I bleeding? Waaah..."

Su Jingyao sobbed, her cries filled with fear and unease.

"Don't be afraid, everything will be alright, everything will be alright..."

Jun Zechen kept repeating these words, and it was unclear whether he was comforting her or himself. His eyes were full of anxiety and heartache.

Finally, a series of hurried footsteps approached, and Physician Li arrived with his female physician.

His face was filled with anxiety, and fine beads of sweat clung to his forehead. As soon as he entered the room, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed, saying, "Your humble servant greets Your Majesty."

"Come here now!" Jun Zechen shouted anxiously, his voice full of urgency and frustration.

Physician Li dared not be polite any longer and hurriedly got up. Jun Zechen quickly moved aside from the bedside.

Seeing this, Miaoyun quickly brought over a stool for Physician Li.

After sitting down, Physician Li reached out and placed his hand on Su Jingyao's wrist to take her pulse.

Physician Li's face showed a solemn expression.

This is clearly a pulse sign of qi and blood deficiency, so why is it like this?

Imperial Physician Li hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking, "Your Majesty, why is the Empress's blood and qi deficiency so severe?"

Logically speaking, the ladies in the palace are all carefully cared for, and under normal circumstances, they would not show signs of blood deficiency.

Miaoyun, who was standing nearby, quickly replied, "Imperial Physician Li, the mistress just bled a lot. I just cleaned her up, and she has stopped bleeding now. What happened?"

Miaoyun's face was full of anxiety and worry, and her voice trembled as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Physician Li looked alarmed and immediately instructed the female physician beside him to examine the patient.

Then, he asked eagerly, "When does Your Majesty's period start?"

"Master's period hasn't started yet this month. Master's period is very regular every month. Calculating the time, it should be in about seven days."

Miaoyun said anxiously, her eyes fixed on Physician Li, wanting to know as soon as possible what was wrong with her master.

Physician Li's brows were furrowed as if they could trap a fly, his face full of entanglement, unsure of how to begin.

Upon seeing this, Jun Zechen exuded wisps of cold air all over his body, so cold and piercing that it sent chills down one's spine.

"What exactly happened to Consort Chunshu?!"

Jun Zechen gritted his teeth and asked, word by word, his voice suppressing the anger that was about to erupt.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if the Empress has recently served you in bed?"

Physician Li asked cautiously, his voice trembling slightly.

Jun Zechen's cold gaze was like an ice pick, staring straight at Physician Li.

Does he want to die?

After such a long delay, not only can they not give a coherent explanation, but they even dare to ask him about these private matters.

"Imperial Physician Li, the master has been attending to me on and off for the past two weeks," Miaoyun hurriedly replied, her voice tinged with nervousness.

Upon hearing this, Physician Li felt his heart sink to the bottom, his legs went weak, and he immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the Empress has miscarried!" Physician Li's voice was filled with helplessness.

His words were like a heavy hammer blow, striking Jun Zechen and Miao Yun hard on the head.

Miaoyun knew about the master's palace renovation plan. She originally thought that it might cause some red rashes or something, but it shouldn't be a problem.

But, the mistress is pregnant?!

The young master still...

Miaoyun's eyes suddenly became somewhat vacant, as if they had lost focus, and then mist rose in her eyes.

Jun Zechen was stunned for a moment, and then a deep look of worry appeared on his face. He then turned his head with difficulty to look at Su Jingyao on the bed.

At this moment, Su Jingyao seemed to have all her energy drained away, her expression blank like a puppet.

Her once bright and lively eyes now looked blank and lost. Her large eyes stared straight ahead without blinking, empty and lifeless.

Jun Zechen felt a sudden, overwhelming pain that made it hard to breathe.

"Imperial Physician Li, are you sure? Consort Chunshu is less than five months pregnant."

Jun Zechen gritted his teeth, his voice trembling slightly, unable to believe the fact. If she really had miscarried, how heartbroken she would be.

At this moment, the fine sweat on Physician Li's forehead gathered together and slid down his cheeks.

His voice trembled slightly as he said, "Your Majesty, I have taken the Empress's pulse, and the pulse indicates that she is indeed deficient in qi and blood, and there is no indication of poisoning or other suspicious signs."

"But Your Majesty is bleeding from below, and the pulse indicates blood and qi deficiency after a miscarriage. Perhaps it's because the pregnancy was too early to detect the pulse of pregnancy, but these symptoms undoubtedly indicate a miscarriage." The voice of Physician Li was filled with helplessness and bitterness.

Jun Zechen's dark eyes were now filled with a sinister and terrifying aura.

He said in a suppressed voice, "Come here and see if the red rash on Consort Chunshu's body caused her miscarriage."

As he spoke, Jun Zechen reached out and took the stunned woman's hand out from under the blanket.

A series of red rashes on fair skin looks shocking and terrifying.

Imperial Physician Li glanced at it and hesitated before saying, "Your Majesty, these seem to be symptoms of an allergic reaction?"

Miaoyun, who had been silently shedding tears, had finally calmed down. She never expected that the palace attire would actually hurt her mistress!

Miao Yun lowered her head, concealing the hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.

"Imperial Physician Li, Her Majesty's skin is more delicate than others. This is the palace dress Her Majesty is wearing today. Her Majesty usually only wears brocade. Although ordinary concubines also wear the same material as this palace dress, Her Majesty will feel uncomfortable wearing it. Would you please take a look, Imperial Physician Li?" Miaoyun said, choking with emotion.

Physician Li quickly leaned close to the palace dress and smelled it, then reached out and gently touched the fabric.

"The material seems fine, it's just not as smooth as Yun brocade, but even so, Her Majesty's rash shouldn't be this severe..."

Physician Li frowned slightly, muttering to himself, a deep doubt in his eyes, his gaze shifting back and forth between the palace attire and Su Jingyao.

Then, he reached out and touched the embroidery pattern of the palace dress, rubbing his fingers on the pattern repeatedly.

A very slight stinging sensation came through.

Physician Li's eyes widened suddenly. He quickly said, "Your Majesty, there seems to be nothing wrong with the material of this palace dress. It's just that there may be something stuck to the embroidery pattern. It stings when it comes into contact with the skin. The Empress's skin is delicate, and she has been wearing this palace dress for such a long time, which is why she has developed a rash."

Upon hearing Physician Li's analysis, Jun Zechen felt a surge of rage welling up in his chest.

These women in the imperial harem would stop at nothing to win the emperor's favor!

Jun Zechen's face was terribly grim, and he said coldly, "Do you think you know what it is?"

"Your Majesty, this stinging sensation is quite similar to the sap of oleander. However, evergreen plants and poinsettias also have similar effects, so I cannot be sure exactly what sap is on the embroidery pattern."

"Did this fluid cause Consort Chun Shu's miscarriage?" Jun Zechen continued to press.

"Your Majesty, if these juices come into contact with the skin, they will cause symptoms such as stinging, rashes, and swelling. If accidentally ingested, it can cause vomiting incessantly or even coma."

Physician Li explained in detail.

"It was just skin contact; it shouldn't have caused your miscarriage."

"However, I have learned that Your Majesty attended the banquet in her palace attire after the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration, and then stood on a high platform to watch the performance. In addition, she fell afterward. Your Majesty is less than half a month pregnant, which is an extremely unstable time. Furthermore, Your Majesty gave birth not long ago, so perhaps this is why..."

Physician Li spoke truthfully, his expression grave and helpless.

Su Jingyao, whose eyes had been vacant and seemed to have lost all their luster, suddenly burst into tears like a flood when she heard the imperial physician's words.

She curled up like a wounded little animal and began to sob, "Waaah..."

The cries were heart-wrenching and desolate.

Hearing her sorrowful cries, Jun Zechen quickly turned around and looked over. Seeing her pitiful appearance, his heart sank.

He then waved to the people around him, his voice low and authoritative, "Everyone, step back."

After everyone had left the bedroom, Jun Zechen took off his outer robe and gently got into bed.

Then he pulled her into his arms, and Su Jingyao sat on his lap, her slender arms tightly wrapped around his neck.

She instinctively snuggled into his arms like a delicate vine.

"Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I felt unwell a long time ago, and the baby in my womb was protesting, but his careless mother didn't pay attention, so he passed away..."

"I'm unworthy to be his mother, sob sob..."

Su Jingyao spoke haltingly, crying as she recounted her story.

When Jun Zechen heard her place all the blame on him, a feeling of bitterness welled up inside him, as if it were about to overwhelm him.

"It's not Yao Yao's fault. Yao Yao and I will have more children in the future, and she will be reborn in Yao Yao's womb."

Jun Zechen lowered his head, his slender fingers stroking the tears streaming down her cheeks, his voice gentle and soothing.

"Don't cry, it breaks my heart."

"But it wasn't him after all, Your Majesty, I'm so heartbroken..."

Su Jingyao sobbed, her body trembling slightly.

Jun Zechen didn't know how to comfort her at this moment, so he could only stroke her hair again and again and gently stroke her back, trying to bring her comfort and support.

It wasn't until Miaoyun brought in the medicine that Physician Li had instructed her to prepare that the matter was resolved.

Jun Zechen took the medicine bowl and gently coaxed her, "Come on, Yao Yao, drink your medicine."

Su Jingyao cried herself to sleep and then drank the medicine in a daze.

The herbal soup had a calming effect, and Su Jingyao fell asleep shortly after drinking it.

After gently laying her down on the bed, Jun Zechen's face, which had just been tender and doting, instantly turned icy cold, as if it could freeze over with frost.

He put his black and gold dragon robe back on and walked out of the bedchamber.

This harem is truly never at peace.

The mysterious appearance of poisonous liquid on the palace dress, the palace maid who inexplicably fell from the high platform of the Hall of Supreme Harmony—all of these events are interconnected and are all aimed at Yao Yao.

How dare they?

Jun Zechen's eyes flashed with a cold light, his heart burning with anger, and a violent emotion that made him want to kill surge within him.
