Chapter 118: Miscarriage
The maidservant Tao'er took a deep breath to calm herself down, then answered carefully: "Master, Concubine Chen suddenly had a miscarriage this morning."
"What?" Lin Yan stood up in surprise, her eyes wide open and asked, "Who told you this? Is the news accurate?"
"Just now when I passed by Concubine Chen's courtyard, I saw it was in chaos, with people running around. The imperial physician and the midwife rushed in, and then someone brought out basins of blood and poured them out."
"No way! She's only been pregnant for more than two months, how could she suddenly miscarry?" Lin Yan frowned and said worriedly: "Tao'er, go and find out more carefully to see if there are any other abnormalities. Green Tea, go and find out what the princess's reaction is.
"The princess is not at home. I heard that she went back to Wenbo Mansion early in the morning." Green Tea did not leave but answered directly.
"I seem to have forgotten to go to the morning and evening meditation today?" Lin Yan suddenly discovered a problem.
"Master, don't worry about that. The princess said she had to go back to her parents' home for something, so she cancelled the meeting. She sent a maid to inform you early in the morning. I saw that the master was asleep, so I didn't come in to call you."
"Oh!" Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, lest Mu Xueli would bring up the morning and evening visits again. She kept complaining all day long, which was very annoying.
Thinking that Concubine Chen's miscarriage had nothing to do with him, he continued to lie on the couch and read.
Time passed minute by minute, and after about half an hour, Taoer came back.
"Miss, I have heard some information. I heard that the concubine had a miscarriage because she drank pearl milk tea, but the specific reason is still unclear." Taoer said solemnly.
"Oh..." Lin Yan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. Pearl milk tea? I have never heard that pearl milk tea can cause miscarriage. Is there any hidden secret behind this?
"Master, do you think that the thing we did to help Chunmei yesterday will be taken advantage of by others?" Green Tea was a little worried.
"That shouldn't be the case. Everything we do is in broad daylight. If you want to make use of this issue, you need evidence, right?" Lin Yan said.

Madam Mu Hao smiled and said, "My daughter is back. How are you doing in Prince Rui's mansion?"
"Very good." Mu Shirley said.
"That's good. You are the most promising among the girls. Tell Prince Rui to arrange your brother Musa to work in the Ministry of War (in charge of military registration, military officer rank and selection, military deployment, etc.)"
"I'll try, but Musa has no qualifications and no academic qualifications, and he is just a small official in the Ministry of War." Mu Xueli said.
"I know your ability very well. I registered you under my name early on, and I have provided you with the best food, clothing and other necessities. Musa may be a little inferior to you, but you must know that your life there depends largely on the strength of your mother's family.
The master only has an idle position and can't help you at all, but Musa is different. He is the legitimate daughter of Wenbo Mansion, young and has unlimited hope. Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. I believe you won't let Prince Rui arrange too low a position. "Mrs. Mu Hao said with a smile.
Mu Xueli sneered and didn't respond. If it wasn't because I was betrothed to the Rui Palace, you would let me be registered under your name. It's ridiculous. "I can only do my best. I can't control what happens in the end."
"That's exactly what I want you to say. Go talk to your aunt! She has been talking about you since you got married." Mrs. Mu Hao achieved her goal and didn't want to say anything more to Mu Shirley, who had a mind like a sieve, so she sent her away.
What Mu Shirley hated most was her background, which was too low and she had to be controlled by Madam Mu. If it wasn't for the need to avoid some things and stay at her parents' home for a while longer, she would definitely not want to go see her aunt.
Mu Xueli stayed in the Wenbo Mansion until noon. After having lunch and chatting for a while, she slowly returned to the Prince Rui's Mansion.

Crescent Moon Court
At this time, Lin Yan was quietly resting on the couch, while Green Tea was leisurely embroidering insoles beside her. The whole room was filled with tranquility and peace. However, all this was broken by a sudden intruder.
A group of burly, ferocious-looking women rushed into the Crescent Moon Courtyard aggressively, as if they were the masters of this land. They moved quickly and quietly tied up the maid guarding the gate in the courtyard, and then rushed into the wing room without hesitation.
Green Tea was startled by the scene before her, but she quickly recovered and asked angrily: "Who are you? Who allowed you to come in? You are so bold!"
However, these maids turned a deaf ear to her questioning and seemed to have no regard for her at all. They walked straight to the couch and rudely pulled Lin Yan up from her sleep.
Seeing this, Green Tea immediately rushed forward to protect Lin Yan and shouted, "What do you want to do?"
"What do you want to do? Do I even need to ask? We are going to take you away. And this little bitch, take us away too. Get out of our way!" One of the old women answered fiercely, with a ferocious light flashing in her eyes.
Lin Yan was awakened, looking at the strange faces and rough movements in front of her, totally confused. She struggled and shouted angrily: "Let go! Who are you? How can you just barge into the Crescent Moon Courtyard? Let me go!"
Green Tea on the side also started to yell: "You can't treat Master Lin like this! When the prince comes back, he will definitely not let you go!"
However, facing their questioning and threats, the women showed no sign of backing down. One of the big old women leading the group even increased the strength in her hands, and Lin Yan and Green Tea were tied up tightly in a matter of minutes.
Although Lin Yan was a little flustered at first, she quickly regained her composure. She realized that these people were not simple people, and they were not dressed like servants in the palace. She was already tightly controlled and could not break free. She could only question angrily: "How dare you! How dare you tie me up? I am the concubine of the Rui Palace! Even if you want to arrest me, you must first explain the reason!"
The sturdy middle-aged woman who led the group responded expressionlessly, "I'm sorry, we were just following orders. You killed the baby in Concubine Chen's belly, and the evidence is irrefutable. As a concubine, you should have maintained the peace of the palace and made contributions to the heirs of Prince Rui's palace, but you went against the grain and did such a terrible thing. It's really heartbreaking!"
Hearing this, Lin Yan was immediately extremely surprised. She widened her eyes and asked in disbelief: "What does Concubine Chen's miscarriage have to do with me? Besides, what do you mean by 'conclusive evidence'? This is simply ridiculous!"
At this moment, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel suspicious. The temperament and behavior of these people were obviously different from those of the servants in the Rui Palace. Who were they? Why did they suddenly break into the Crescent Moon Courtyard and blatantly accuse her?
