1883 End of Consort Qin 4 (2/2)
Qi Zheng rejoiced internally, yet walked to Consort Qin's side while remaining calm and collected. He then took Consort Qin's pulse and after sensing her pulse, his expression suddenly became extremely sorrowful.
”Your Majesty, Consort Qin had a miscarriage. Even if you no longer love her, but the child in her womb is your child. Please close one eye and save Consort Qin.”
Of course, he didn't do this for Consort Qin but only because he had wanted to survive. If Consort Qin was with child, the Emperor would definitely be soft-hearted and the Qi Family could also escape from this calamity. However, Qi Zheng hadn't noticed that the moment he spoke, Consort Qin's complexion became increasingly pale.
Her hands tightly grabbed her skirt as her gaze revealed despair.
I'm dead! This time, no matter what I say, it's all useless!
”Ever since I was sick, I haven't touched Consort Qin, so how could she possibly be pregnant?” Perhaps Consort Qin caused Mu Zhentian to be infuriated, he did not even consider for a moment before speaking.
What? The Emperor didn't touch Consort Qin?
Qi Zheng's expression instantly turned pale as he submissively said, ”Your Majesty, are you mistaken? Consort Qin has always been gentle and virtuous, she would never commit such infidelity. Your Majesty must've had visited Consort Qin but had forgotten.” At this moment, Qi Zheng spoke without thinking and instantly caused Mu Zhentian's expression to turn cold.
”Hmph! Consort Qin couldn't endure the loneliness and betrayed me, yet she wants me to be the scapegoat? Ever since I recovered, I've been spending my days in the study room and this can be ascertained from the records!” Mu Zhentian's expression turned sharp and stern. ”Men, arrest Consort Qin and wait for my investigation before punishing her!”
Hearing his words, Consort Qin hastily climbed up and staggered as she pounced towards Mu Zhentian
”Your Majesty, your concubine was wronged! It's Mu Xuexin, she deliberately framed me!”
When he heard Consort Qin trying to frame Mu Xuexin, he became increasingly furious. ”Consort Qin is unrepentant and even wronged the Fourth Princess. Her crimes shall be increased!”
