Chapter 104: You are spotting, what does that have to do with me?!

Inside Bixiao Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs all had nervous expressions, exchanging glances.

The eyes of every eunuch and palace maid were filled with anxiety and worry!

Xi Pin, however, was calm and composed!

Although her face was pale, her lips were almost bloodless, and a layer of dense cold sweat was seeping from her forehead, she didn't seem to care about the survival of the fetus in her womb!

She lay on the couch, revealing a slender jade hand for Imperial Physician Chen to take her pulse, while her other hand rested on her lower abdomen, because waves of falling pain were coming from there.

"What is going on! Has the Imperial Physician come to see her?" Suddenly, a female voice filled with anger rolled into Bixiao Palace along with the cold wind. Imperial Physician Chen followed the sound and saw Imperial Yu Fei walking toward the room with a group of people.

"This servant pays respects to Imperial Yu Fei. May the Concubine be safe and well—" The palace maid standing at the door of the inner room was bowing to pay respects, but what she received was a "slap" across the face!

"Ah!" The little palace maid was knocked to the ground! It was evident that this slap had used ten percent of her strength!

Imperial Yu Fei was still not satisfied after hitting the little palace maid. She glared fiercely at the beaten little palace maid, then strode toward the inner room.

"You lowly maid, you can't even take good care of your own master, but you have time to pay respects to the Concubine here!" Fu'er, the palace maid following Imperial Yu Fei, didn't forget to pinch the little palace maid's ear hard as she passed by, and after pinching, she even kicked her!

When Imperial Yu Fei entered the room and saw Imperial Physician Chen, she gave him a fierce look. Imperial Physician Chen could only hurriedly stand up, kneel, and pay respects, "This humble official pays respects to Imperial Yu Fei."

Imperial Yu Fei wasn't in a hurry to ask Imperial Physician Chen about the situation. Seeing Xi Pin's bloodless, exotic beautiful face, she felt a bit of schadenfreude in her heart: this lowly hoof's dragon fetus finally couldn't be saved!

It would be best if this pregnancy could damage Xi Pin's foundation, so that from now on, her belly would never be able to conceive a dragon seed again!

A trace of triumph flashed across the corners of her mouth, "Good sister, you were fine, how did you start spotting?"

Xi Pin gave a cold, sharp smile, "Sister, I started spotting, isn't it the result of your meticulous care day and night?"

"What did you say?!" Imperial Yu Fei was instantly enraged, her eyes wide, "You are spotting, what does that have to do with me?!"

Xi Pin raised her eyebrows and asked back, "Ever since I conceived the dragon fetus, hasn't all my food and daily life been handled by you personally, sister?"

Imperial Yu Fei was so angry that she stepped forward two or three times, grabbed Xi Pin by the collar, and scolded, "So what if it is? I am not stupid enough to poison your food! If you can't save the dragon seed, it's ultimately because your own body has problems! How dare you be so bold as to blame me!"

Xi Pin sneered, "Since I was able to conceive the dragon fetus, it shows that my body is healthy. Unlike some sister who has been favored for many years but has yet to conceive an heir. I really don't know who is the one with the problem."

"Slap!" A loud slap landed on Xi Pin's face!

A red palm print instantly appeared on her pale face!

"Bold! How dare you insult our Concubine like this!" Fu'er, the palace maid behind Imperial Yu Fei, stepped forward two steps, clenched her fists, and punched Xi Pin's lower abdomen!

Fu'er's action startled Imperial Physician Chen into shouting! "No! Absolutely not!"

But his words weren't as fast as Fu'er's fists!

But Fu'er's fists weren't as fast as Xi Pin's movements!

Imperial Physician Chen hadn't even understood what was happening. In the blink of an eye, Xi Pin had already gotten off the bed, not only breaking free from the collar Imperial Yu Fei was pulling, but also grabbing Fu'er's fist with a backhand, flipping her over, and pinning her to the ground to rub!

Fu'er's head was pressed tightly against the ground by Xi Pin. She wanted to struggle free from Xi Pin's restraint, but she was pressed down by Xi Pin and couldn't move at all. She could only cry out, "You bitch, let me go, let me go..."

"This concubine is not only healthy but also has some martial arts skills. Even a rabbit will bite when it's in a hurry, let alone a person?" Xi Pin not only didn't let go of Fu'er but even had the energy to retort to Imperial Yu Fei, "Sister, does your action just now mean you want to spar with this younger sister?"

"You, you!" Imperial Yu Fei was so angry that she pointed at Xi Pin, her eyes wide, and the jade beads on her head shaking!

Imperial Yu Fei wanted to slap Xi Pin again, but thinking of her agile skills, she didn't dare to get close again!

In the end, she could only use her mouth, "Good for you, Xi Pin. Not only can you not protect the dragon fetus yourself, but you also dare to bully my people! Who gave you such courage!"

"I gave it to her!" Suddenly, the Emperor's voice came from outside the door!

The palace maids and eunuchs knelt down in a clatter. Imperial Physician Chen followed suit and knelt to pay respects. Xi Pin then got up from Fu'er, bowed to Qin Yuan, "This concubine welcomes the Emperor."

"Your Majesty," Imperial Yu Fei bowed to Qin Yuan, her eyes full of coquettishness and grievance, "Your Majesty, why did you only just come? I just came to visit sister Xi Pin, but not only did she not appreciate it, she even bullied my palace maid—"

But before she finished speaking, she discovered that among the palace servants following the Emperor, besides Eunuch Gao and his personal guards, there was also Lin Jiaojiao!

Why did she follow too!

"If she didn't fight back, should she just let your palace maid bully her!?" Qin Yuan asked back instead. He strode into the room, his bright yellow robe even sweeping up a wisp of dust on the ground. As soon as he crossed the threshold, he walked straight toward Xi Pin, picked her up horizontally, and gently placed her back on the bed!

Imperial Yu Fei was so shocked she couldn't speak!

"You just started spotting, why didn't you rest properly on the bed and get off?" Qin Yuan gently covered Xi Pin with the quilt, and inadvertently touched her slender jade hand, immediately frowning, "Why are your hands so cold?"

Soon he turned to hold Imperial Physician Chen accountable, "Imperial Physician Chen, what is going on here?!"

"Reporting to the Emperor—" Imperial Physician Chen was about to speak, but looked up and saw Imperial Yu Fei's poisonous glare, trembling for a moment, and directly went dumb.

Qin Yuan glanced sideways at Imperial Yu Fei. Imperial Yu Fei almost didn't have time to hide her warning gaze toward Imperial Physician Chen!

"Imperial Physician Chen, tell the truth, otherwise I will punish you!"

"Yes," Imperial Physician Chen would rather offend Imperial Yu Fei than the Emperor, so he could only report truthfully, "Xi Pin Niangniang shows signs of having taken safflower, which led to an unstable pregnancy and spotting..."

"Safflower? Where did the safflower come from?!" Qin Yuan frowned and looked at Xi Pin, only to see her face was bloodless, but her eyes were still stubborn, "This concubine did not consume safflower!"

Imperial Yu Fei pointed at Xi Pin and scolded, "Good for you, Xi Pin. You consumed safflower yourself to promote blood circulation, attempting to make the dragon fetus fail, just to frame me, is that it!?"

At this time, Lin Jiaojiao suddenly interjected, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, may this commoner take Xi Pin Niangniang's pulse?" ===== CHAPTER 105 =====
