Chapter 476: What About the Other Women in This Inner Palace?

Huo Qings face contorted, then he waved dismissively and said, Well discuss this matter later.

Your Majesty. Ning Shu lifted her head to look at Huo Qing. Your Majesty, the child in n.o.ble Consort Xuans belly is also your child. That fox had killed your child. How could you not get justice for n.o.ble Consort Xuan and the child? Its nothing but an animal, it deserved to be beaten to death after committing such a

Shut up! Huo Qing couldnt stop himself from roaring at Ning Shu. However, he quickly realized that he had lost control of his emotions and lowered his voice to say, We will compensate her for this. As for the little fox, its just an animal that doesnt know anything. Would beating it to death bring our child back? Do you think that were not sad about losing this child?

He would compensate n.o.ble Consort Xuan, but the main offender wouldnt face any repercussions. This meant nothing. Despite having experienced several worlds, Ning Shu couldnt help but feel her heart chill. Even the most malicious tiger didnt eat its own cubs.

However, Huo Qing actually wanted to have this child disappear so that the child couldnt hinder his relations.h.i.+p with the little fox. It was as if he couldnt show his deep love for the female lead without being heartless towards other women.

Ning Shu suppressed the anger in her heart and said mildly, This subject wife understands. Your Majesty, take care.

Huo Qing turned and left awkwardly.

Your Imperial Highness, are you really going to just let it go like this? asked the consorts.

Ning Shu waved dismissively. You guys should leave too. If theres nothing, stay in your palaces and dont wander around.

Understood. The consorts withdrew worriedly. In the past, they definitely wouldve celebrated at a consorts miscarriage, but now

All of them felt strong unease.

Basin after basin of b.l.o.o.d.y water was carried out. It was a long while before the imperial physician came out from the side wing. Ning Shu asked, How is the n.o.ble consort?

The imperial physician shook his head. Her Highnesss body suffered terribly from the miscarriage. It will be difficult for her to conceive again.

Ning Shu sighed. The imperial palace was truly a dark place. She said, Make sure to nurse her back to health no matter what medicine it takes. His Majesty has said the same.

The imperial physician nodded.

Ning Shu walked into the resting palace. It was filled with the heavy smell of blood. n.o.ble Consort Xuan was lying on the bed, her face pale as paper. Her shoulders which werent covered by the blankets looked very slim and fragile.

Ning Shu sat by the bed and used a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on n.o.ble Consort Xuans forehead. The little fox was fortunate to obtain all of Huo Qings pa.s.sion, but what about all the women in this inner palace? He treated them all so cruelly.

If he didnt like them, he shouldnt have picked so many women for his palace. These flower-like women may have become happier marrying other men instead of staying in this palace.

Your Imperial Highness, let this servant do it, said n.o.ble Consort Xuans personal maid. Ning Shu said en and handed the handkerchief to the maid.

Your Imperial Highness, the smell of blood is too strong in this palace, so theres no need to stay, said the maid. The maids eyes were red but she forced back her tears.

Ning Shu said mildly, Its no trouble. This empress will stay until n.o.ble Consort Xuan wakes up.

Qing Zhu came back after walking the kids over. She stood by Ning Shus side to wait for n.o.ble Consort Xuan to wake up.

Qing Zhu, pour this empress a cup of water. Ning Shu felt thirsty.

n.o.ble Consort Xuan woke up only when it became night. When she saw Ning Shu sitting by her bed, she was stunned for a moment. Afterwards, she frantically felt her stomach while crying, My child! My child, oh my child

Her voice was like the cry of a bleeding swallow, filled with pain and despair.
