When the gold hairpin falls to the ground, it is the heart that is broken, not the life.
In the spring of the thirty-sixth year of Emperor Yong's reign, the ancestor worship ceremony was in the middle, incense smoke filled the Ancestral Temple, and hundreds of officials stood in awe.
The emperor Xiao Xuance personally officiated the ceremony, wearing a black dragon-patterned dress, with a back as tall as a pine tree, but suddenly turned around amid a shrill cry——
"Your Majesty! I... The baby in my belly is moving violently!"
Bai Yuehua fell to her knees, clutching her lower abdomen with her bare hands. Her face was as pale as paper, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her lips.
The maid next to her screamed: "The imperial concubine is six months pregnant, and the fetus is unstable! She must have been invaded by evil spirits!"
The whole hall was in an uproar.
Before he finished speaking, a chamberlain had already rushed from the direction of Fengyi Palace. Holding an ebony box in his hands, he presented it tremblingly: "Qi, Qi, Your Majesty... I found this thing... At the bottom of the incense burner in the Queen's chamber."
The lid is open.
A paulownia wood doll lay quietly on the red velvet cloth, with the birth date engraved on the whole body, which was the fate of the emperor's heir in Bai Yuehua's belly.
A red rope was wrapped around his neck, with four shocking words written in cinnabar on the back - cut off the pulse and end the heir.
