Chapter 126: She's actually pregnant.
"Your Majesty is suffering from severe abdominal cramps. Please summon the imperial physician as soon as possible."
"Let me take the medicine box."
Song Miqiu reached for her own medicine box and followed the palace maid quickly toward the empress's palace.
But when I rushed over, the person on the bed was already clutching their abdomen in pain, writhing on the bed, their face pale as if they were about to die at any moment.
Although Song Miqiu was unaware of the situation, he still sensed something was wrong when he saw the woman's somewhat purplish lips.
But instead of taking the medicine directly, she turned to look at the people next to her.
"What has Your Majesty eaten? Quickly prepare mung bean soup and soapberry water."
"Why do you need to prepare these two things? What exactly do you want to do?"
Song Miqiu ignored her question, and simply opened the medicine box, took out one of the herbs, and prepared to put it into the lady's mouth.
However, it seemed that the smell of the medicinal herbs was too pungent, and the Empress ignored the pain and raised her hand to push Song Miqiu's hand away.
"Damn servant, how dare you feed me this stinking stuff!"
"Your Majesty, you ate something you shouldn't have. You must vomit it up as soon as possible, otherwise you will feel even worse once your body absorbs it."
But the Empress, already in excruciating pain, wouldn't listen to her and raised her hand to slap Song Miqiu.
Just as it was about to fall, it curled up into a ball again due to sudden pain.
Seeing the lips turn even darker purple, Song Miqiu knew the situation was bad and could only reach out and grab the teacup.
Once he determined that the temperature wasn't too hot, he pinched the other person's cheek and quickly poured the liquid in.
"You...how dare you!"
Everyone was shocked by her rough actions and didn't react for a moment, just watching Song Miqiu's actions.
The medicine, mixed with a small amount of the pills, entered the concubine's mouth, causing her to feel nauseous within moments.
Noticing that she was about to vomit, Song Miqiu reached out and grabbed something from the side to catch her.
After the lady vomited up some of the contents and the pain subsided, she opened her eyes and looked at the other person.
"Hurry up and prepare! Are you really just going to watch the Empress die in pain?"
The palace maid was certain that the Empress's complexion had improved, so she immediately ran out to prepare what the Empress needed.
Fortunately, this was the imperial palace, and everything was readily available. Soon after, someone brought over two items.
"Please forgive my abruptness, Your Majesty, but the matter is truly urgent."
"I'll also treat you to mung bean soup and soapberry water later."
Upon hearing that soapberry water was to be used, the palace maid who was calling for the Empress widened her eyes and raised her hand to order someone to drive the quack doctor away.
But seemingly worried that his voice was too loud and would frighten his master, he gently put the person down before quickly walking to Song Miqiu.
"Imperial Physician, I shouldn't be saying this, but you've gone too far, actually letting Her Majesty drink that soapberry water."
"Even a young brat knows that drinking that stuff will kill you, so why did you deliberately poison the Empress?"
Song Miqiu looked up and observed the palace maid in front of her. She noticed that the maid's attire was significantly more adorned than the previous maid, and knew that this person must be the so-called head palace maid.
In order not to let this person stop him, he could only explain in a low voice.
"This is naturally so that Your Majesty can vomit completely."
"This soapberry water is not something I just threw in randomly. It is a stomach-washing solution that I carefully compared. In addition, the mung bean soup you will drink later will definitely not harm Your Majesty."
Song Miqiu's confident demeanor caused the other party to frown again.
"This method is unheard of. If something were to happen to Her Majesty, you would probably already have a pre-prepared explanation?"
"How could this happen? Your Highness will be safe..."
Before she could even speak, Song Miqiu felt the gazes of those around her. Her brows furrowed as she pondered how to explain the situation clearly and convince people of her story.
Just as she was about to offer an explanation, the empress on the bed clearly felt pain again and let out another wail.
Her voice was even weaker than before, clearly indicating that she had been through a lot and was now completely exhausted.
Fearing that things would become even more dangerous, Song Miqiu couldn't continue explaining. She tried to step forward, but the hand grabbed her tightly.
"Don't even think about harming Her Majesty."
"If you don't let me take action soon, your lady will really be in so much pain that she'll die."
"Wen Yue, let her try. If I make any mistakes, His Majesty will surely uphold justice."
Although powerless, the resentful gaze that swept over Song Miqiu still sent a chill down her spine.
Sensing that something was wrong with her, she reached out and grabbed the lady's wrist first.
The pulse is weak, and there is also a pregnancy pulse.
At first, I thought it was just simple food poisoning and was prepared to solve it with simple methods, but now that's not possible.
Song Miqiu carefully fed the mung bean soup handed to her by the palace maid, but then refused the soap water and instead gently massaged an acupoint.
A moment later, the empress suddenly stood up, turned her head and began to vomit repeatedly.
Once her stomach was completely empty, she finally relaxed her tense body and fell back onto the bed.
For safety's sake, Song Miqiu grasped the wrist again, only to find that the pulse, which had been relatively steady, was now weakening.
"Are you really sure there's no problem? Why does Your Majesty's expression look increasingly grim?"
"What do you put in your mung bean soup? Why did Her Majesty's pulse suddenly..."
Before she could finish speaking, Song Miqiu's pulse became increasingly weak. Without the slightest hesitation, she quickly took out the pregnancy-preserving medicine and stuffed it into her slightly open mouth.
But that didn't do much good, so she immediately pulled out the silver needles and quickly inserted them into several acupoints on her abdomen.
The bleeding from her lower body stopped quickly, but the empress continued to cry out in pain, which was impossible to ignore.
Song Miqiu, of course, did not relax; instead, he kept ordering people to get all sorts of things.
In the end, she even had someone bring ginseng slices and stuff them under the other person's tongue.
After doing all this, Song Miqiu wiped the sweat from her forehead, then grasped the other person's wrist again to make sure the pulse was gradually stabilizing before daring to sit down and rest.
But just as she looked away, she noticed another group of people who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"How is my beloved concubine now?"
Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu wanted to explain, but the head palace maid beat her to it.
"Your Majesty, we beg you to do justice for the Empress!"
"For some reason, the imperial physician actually fed the Empress that rubbish soap water, and later even made her drink mung bean soup, which caused her to miscarry and almost lose the baby in her womb."
Upon hearing this, the emperor's expression changed, and he suddenly glanced at Song Miqiu, who was kneeling to one side.
She sensed the gaze and was about to get up to explain when she noticed that the palace maid beside her was thinking about how she had made the mung bean soup and, fearing that she would be implicated, immediately sided with the head palace maid.
