The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 281. Suspecting Lu Jing Yu
Pei Wu Shan looked at Lu Jing Yu suspiciously. Did this sister's wife make a mistake while examining him? Or did he indeed intentionally do so to damage the good relationship between Yun Ying and Ke Mei Jia? Everyone knew if she didn't like concubines, did She really intend to ruin the good name of her Concubine?
Coming to that conclusion, the current gaze of Pei Wu Shan as it looked at Lu Jing Yu became unfriendly. He also asked her cynically, "Crown Princess, please speak clearly here. Please don't make a rift by sowing the seeds of discord in our family."
Lu Jing Yu did not believe Pei Wu Shan's reaction. He stared in disbelief at his sister-in-law. He used to be very gentle and friendly. How could he change like this now?
"Second brother what do you mean by accusing Yu'er of trying to break up your family relationship?" Pei Zhang Xi who saw that Lu Jing Yu was being viciously accused did not accept.
"Crown prince, I know that you love your wife very much. But please don't protect him when he makes a mistake or he'll be rude!" Pei Wu Shan who had already ignited emotions looked at Pei Zhang Xi angrily. Pei Zhang Xi heard the increasingly unpleasant words of Pei Wu Shan and clenched his hands. He looked at Pei Wu Shan furiously.
"You two shut up!" Lu Jing Yu gritted her teeth furiously. These two men were instead busy bickering with each other and ignoring Yun Ying's condition. At this moment, what was more important than Yun Ying?
Pei Wu Shan and Pei Zhang Xi stopped arguing after hearing Lu Jing Yu's words. They found Lu Jing Yu who looked angry.
"King Wei please listen to my explanation before you accuse me badly, can you?" Lu Jing Yu looked at Pei Wu Shan sharply.
"alright. I hope the Crown Princess gives me a good explanation so that my respect doesn't change." Pei Wu Shan replied sarcastically.
Ke Mei Jia watched on the side. She was still crying like last time. His face looks sad. Plain and persecuted. But if one were to notice her hands that were behind her sleeves, her pretty nails almost tore off her white skin as she grasped it too tightly.
That was in his heart no one even knew it. It was true that Ke Mei Jia deliberately gave the scented pouch to Yun Ying because she knew that Yun Ying always lit the therapeutic aroma incense made from a mixture of eucalyptus. Ke Mei Jia had been fond of about the media since she was young. He loved reading about medical science. From the readings that he had read, he knew that the aroma of eucalyptus would be dangerous for a woman, especially a young pregnant woman if mixed with the aroma of musk. Kesturi itself is an ingredient to abort the content. If coupled with eucalyptus the effect will be more frightening. Unfortunately, very rarely do people know that.
Ke Mei Jia had known from the beginning that Yun Ying liked the smell of eucalyptus incense and by the time she found out that Yun Ying was pregnant young back then, he immediately had a plan to give her some muse. Ke Mei Jia also decided to mix Kesturi in the fragrant pouch that would be given to Yun Ying. She was a clever girl, she understood that in the eyes of Consort Yao valued her granddaughter very much. So he knew that Aunt Niang working for him would be the same. The servant would definitely check whatever would be given to Yun Ying.
However, no one will be suspicious of the musk inside the fragrant sac. So when Aunt Niang said that she would take him to the temple to pray, she let him go even though she knew that Aunt Niang was actually carrying her scented sac to be examined to the healer.
The fragrant pouch finally returned to his hands indicating that the healer did not know that Kesturi was a dangerous ingredient for pregnant women. If the healer didn't know, how could he know? By relying on this, she could escape the charges even though it would eventually be caught if her scented pouch was the one that caused Yun Ying to miscarry.
As long as he doesn't admit it, he can't be blamed. As long as he confesses that if he does not know it, he will be free from charges. Sticking to this belief, Ke Mei Jia was confident.
"Please forgive Your Majesty's servant. What Her Highness the Crown Princess said was right with Her Majesty." The physician nodded with certainty.
"Cannot be. Isn't that just a fragrance. How could it possibly eliminate someone?" Ke Mei Jia cried hysterically when she heard the Physician's statement. His face looked both shocked and in disbelief. In accordance with his words that mention if he does not know her. As long as he admitted not understanding, Pei Wu Shan would not blame him.
"Your Majesty, please believe in the servant. I have never had problems with my brother and I have a good relationship with my brother. Servant has no reason to harm sister let alone harm the future descendants of His Majesty. Even the servant was very happy when he heard that brother was pregnant and immediately made a fragrant pouch for brother. I just want to make my brother more relaxed with the aroma of the bag of fragrant handmade which is widely praised by people. The servant really did not know if Kesturi which is one of the ingredients that I put in the fragrant bag can harm pregnant women. Hiks. Servant really doesn't know it Your Majesty." Ke Mei Jia explained her innocence.
Pei Wu Shan looked at Ke Mei Jia who was sobbing so much that he felt unbearable. His heart had been soft from the beginning so that the moment he saw Ke Mei Jia who was crying so sadly became easily touched. "Not cry anymore. I know you're a good woman. The relationship between the two of you is also very good. I'm sure you didn't do it on purpose. Its alright. Me and Ying'er..." Pei Wu Shan's speech was cut off by the interruptions conducted by Yun Ying.
"Your Majesty! I can't believe His Majesty would be so easily swayed and forgive him just like that! I don't accept. I do not accept this injustice. I want this matter checked well." Yun Ying clenched his hand. His eyes that were staring intently at Pei Wu Shan had welled up the tears that were ready to fall at any moment.
"Ying'er, this matter has already happened. After all Jia'er doesn't know if what's given to you is actually dangerous. He only has good intentions for you. Can you blame him for his unintentionality?" Pei Wu Shan looked at Yun Ying in disbelief. She knew Yun Ying all along was a good woman and easily apologized to people. How did he get that far?
What Pei Wu Shan did not know was that a woman who had become a mother would turn into a lioness who was protecting her cubs. No matter how gentle the woman was before, she would still become a ferocious lion when faced with something that threatened the safety of their child.
