Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 159 How Can You... Not Let Me Go

The East Palace was completely silent, with only the sound of heavy rain.

Bei Yao changed into white clothes and Cheng Xi followed behind him.

The two men walked along the palace road, and when they entered the East Palace, they heard the sound of cups being smashed inside.

"You idiot! Go get me another doctor!"

Bei Yao paused.

Cheng Xi held the whisk and said, "I heard that the Crown Princess came to the palace to pay respects today and happened to run into Madam Xie. I don't know why, but the Crown Princess suddenly fainted and immediately started bleeding..."

Cheng Xi said, his voice lower, "It's been less than three months, and the Crown Princess herself didn't know she was pregnant. Now that she's fallen, the imperial physician said that the pregnancy is too early and the Crown Princess is weak, so she probably can't be saved."

Emperor Beiyu had few concubines in his harem. In addition, the emperor and the empress loved each other very much and the empress was not a jealous person. After Beiyu ascended the throne, there had never been any miscarriage among the concubines in the harem.

Today is the first time, and that person is the Crown Princess.

The baby in her belly was Tianqi's first grandson.

Therefore, although she was the Crown Princess, all the concubines in the harem were waiting in the East Palace. Bei Yao received the news the latest and was outside the palace, so she arrived the latest.

When Beiyao entered, an imperial physician was rushing out. After seeing Beiyao, he immediately bowed and said, "Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

The man who came was named Bai, and he was the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Bei Yao smiled gently when he saw that it was him, and asked, "Doctor Bai, how is the emperor's sister-in-law doing?"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Bai repeated what he had previously told the emperor.

"The Crown Princess is weak and frail, and it is not easy for her to get pregnant. In addition, she is less than three months pregnant and she fell down. I am afraid that the little prince in her belly may not be able to be saved."

"Are you sure it was just a fall?" Bei Yao's words were still gentle.

Doctor Bai suddenly felt a chill on his back, just like the rain outside.

He lowered his body and said, "It should be...it should be..."

"Okay, I'll go in and take a look too."

Beiyao was still smiling, Cheng Xi was on him, handed him some silver and said, "Dr. Bai, you have worked hard."

Doctor Bai wanted to refuse, but Cheng Xi just smiled and said earnestly, just like his master: "Doctor Bai, this is what you deserve."

Beiyao walked through the corridor and saw many people along the way.

Waiting in the front were Prime Minister Qi Chengen and Qi Shengxin, and waiting behind them was Qi Shengzhu.

Bei Yao glanced at Qi Shengxin and finally understood why Xu Yuan had been waiting for Qi Shengxin for a long time. He walked past indifferently and stopped beside Prince Bei Yuan.

Next to Bei Yuan stood the Queen and Concubine Xing.

Almost all the women in the harem are here.

In addition, there were several women kneeling in the hall, and on the other side was the trembling imperial physician.

Bei Yuan's eyes were red as he stared at the inner room. The emperor's angry voice could be heard from time to time, and it was eerily quiet everywhere.

After a long while, Bei Yao said, "Brother, what happened?"

Bei Yuan turned his head slightly, and his cold eyes looked at Bei Yao from inside the house, "Third brother, don't you know?"

Bei Yao asked back, "Should I know? I see the Emperor's sister-in-law every day, and I have no time to avoid suspicion, so how could I take the initiative to ask?"

"It's best, that's it."

Bei Yuan retracted his gaze and said in a colder tone, "If anything happens to Mei'er, I will definitely not let you go."

"My Royal Brother, what you said is really incomprehensible."

Bei Yao laughed, his laughter was gentle, but it was somewhat out of place in such a quiet place, "Then I will wait for you, why don't you let me go..."

The last two words faded away, Bei Yao looked at Bei Yuan, the smile still on his lips.

The carriage sped along

After Xu Yuan was stunned twice, he lifted the curtain and asked, "Master Chen, are you in a hurry? If so, you can just leave me on the side of the road."

"The master has instructed me to send you back." Chen Shan had no intention of stopping.

Xu Yuanfu sat back down, thinking of Bei Yao's hurried back. She paused, leaned over and said, "Master Chen, I don't know what happened to you. If you are willing to tell me, maybe I can help you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shan immediately slowed down the pace of his horse.

He looked back at Xu Yuan and asked, "Master Xu, can I trust you?"

"Of course." Xu Yuan nodded.

The cold wind blew on Xu Yuan's face. He tightened his cloak and couldn't help but think of Bei Yao's words that day.

[In the capital, I will help you kill anyone you want. ]

If Beiyao is willing to help her, then she will also help Beiyao with all her might.

As long as it doesn't cost her life.

"Master Xu, I believe you."

After Chen Shan finished speaking, he looked around and saw a teahouse in front of him. He said, "This is not a place to talk. Let's go somewhere else."

Chen Shan knew that the leverage over the Song family was given to Bei Yao by Xu Yuan.

It was at that time that Chen Shan changed his attitude towards Xu Yuan.

Beiyao takes care of everything and makes a wish, so why not make a wish?

Maybe... there is a solution to today's situation.

Xu Yuan followed Chen Shan. The rain was still falling and the wind was strong. She couldn't help sneezing several times.

Chen Shan frowned, "Mr. Xu, are you okay?"

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Yuan shook his head, then gently twisted his thigh, forcing his confused mind to be clearer.

Chen Shan brought Xu Yuan to the private room and said directly, "Today, the Crown Princess came to the palace to pay her respects. When she was leaving, she ran into Madam Xie and Miss Song. They left together, and for some reason, Madam Xie pushed the Crown Princess."

Chen Shan stopped.

Xu Yuan was confused and asked, "Is it just such a small matter?"

"It's quite a lot." Chen Shan shook his head and continued, "The Crown Princess was pregnant, probably in the first three months, she didn't even know it, and when she pushed, she started bleeding, and now all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital are staying in the East Palace."

Xu Yuan understood immediately.

Anything happening to the royal heir is indeed a big deal.

But this is different from... Xu Yuan paused for a moment, thought of something, and immediately asked, "Who is the Xie family's wife?"

"Xie Xiaocheng's younger brother, Xie Xiaoyi's legal wife, Cai."

Chen Shan said this half-heartedly because he wanted to see if Xu Yuan could guess the key to the matter. When he heard Xu Yuan's question, he felt relieved.

Xuyuan was smarter than he thought.

Therefore, Chen Shan stopped hiding it and said directly: "Master Xu, you also know that you have always advocated transferring General Xie back to the capital. It seems that this matter is about to be accomplished. As a result, I am afraid that General Xie will be implicated in this incident of the Xie family, and..."

"Moreover, the Third Prince agreed to the Song family's marriage just for the military power, but he didn't want to marry a girl from the Song family. So, your son is trying to save the country in a roundabout way and wants to use Xie Xiaocheng to take the Song family's military power, right?"

Xu Yuan completed what Chen Shan had not finished saying.

Chen Shan nodded and said, "That's true. Mr. Xu, do you have any idea to break the impasse?"

At the end, Chen Shan looked at Xu Yuan expectantly.

Bei Yao is now in the palace, and there is very little he can do.

If we just stand by and watch, the Song family will have no hope of retaining military power.

"The emperor is not stupid. Reassigning a garrison commander back to the capital is a big deal. Now that something happened in the garrison commander's family, it's hard not to speculate that it was a frame-up."

Xu Yuan looked at Chen Shan and said, "So, the most difficult thing about this matter is the evidence. As long as we find the evidence, this matter can be easily solved."

"Then what should the subordinates do?"

"Paper and pen, I need to sort out my thoughts." After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, thinking of the Crown Princess, and asked again: "The Crown Princess, is she the eldest daughter of the Qi family?"

Chen Shan was a little confused, but he still nodded and said, "Yes."

"No." Xu Yuan frowned and said, "This matter is not that simple, or maybe we have complicated the problem..."
