Song Qingzhi glanced at Ning Wanyin, secretly observing Ning Wanyin’s every move out of the corner of her eye.
She wanted to find even the slightest fault.
Such court sacrificial rites are easy to make mistakes in if one has not specifically learned them beforehand and has only prepared for a few days.
However, with so many people around, people won’t notice unless someone is specifically watching you.
Song Qingzhi secretly wanted to report Ning Wanyin for a breach of sacrificial rites!
Even though she glanced at Ning Wanyin so hard that her eyes almost rolled back, she still didn’t see the slightest mistake.
A sense of disappointment welled up inside her.
Ever since Ning Wanyin snatched away her favor, she considered it a great humiliation and had been looking for an opportunity to take revenge.
When the sacrificial ceremony was about to end, suddenly, Song Qingzhi had a flash of inspiration and shouted, “Ning Wanyin, why did you push me…”
As she spoke, she leaned back and fell, tumbling down the layers of white jade steps.
She was thrown directly at the foot of the sacrificial altar in front of a group of low-ranking concubines.
“Song Jieyu!”
The concubines were kneeling and paying their respects when they suddenly saw Song Jieyu fall from the high platform.
“It hurts—” Song Qingzhi clutched her stomach, her face deathly pale.
She herself didn’t understand why she just fell, but her stomach hurt.
Large amounts of blood flowed from beneath her, staining her moon-white dress crimson.
Ning Wanyin, who was on the high platform, was also stunned.
She had noticed Song Qingzhi watching her from the side, and to prevent her from causing trouble, she was very careful not to have any contact with her.
But unexpectedly, she rolled down on her own.
“Master, she seems to be bleeding…” Lian Rui said in a panic.
Ning Wanyin’s expression remained unchanged, but a shadow of gloom settled over her eyes. So much blood… The situation was dire…
Shu Fei and the others were all dumbfounded and quickly went to fetch the imperial physician.
The sacrificial ceremony was interrupted.
No one dared to touch Song Qingzhi, unsure of where she was injured…
Soon, the imperial physician rushed over, took her pulse, and knelt down to beg for forgiveness: “Song Jieyu has miscarried…”
Upon hearing this, all the concubines were shocked.
The most shocked was Song Qingzhi.
“What did you say? I…I’m pregnant?”
“Song Jieyu, you were more than a month pregnant, but the imperial fetus could not be saved…” The imperial physician said tremblingly.
Song Qingzhi was shocked and filled with regret, tears streaming down her face: “My child…”
Her periods have always been irregular.
This time, it was delayed by a few days, so she didn’t think much of it. Little did she know that she was already pregnant…
If she had known, she would never have fallen on purpose!
She only intended to suffer a minor injury so that the Emperor would pity her and despise Ning Wanyin, but she never expected to lose her child…
“Song Jieyu, you just shouted that Ning Jieyu pushed you down?”
Cen Jieyu’s eyes were also full of surprise, and she reminded her in time.
They tried every possible way to deal with Ning Wanyin, but Ning Wanyin always managed to break through their defenses.
This time…
It was a wonderful surprise.
“It was you…it was you who pushed me…” Song Qingzhi pointed at Ning Wanyin, her eyes filled with resentment.
If Ning Wanyin hadn’t gone too far, she wouldn’t have chosen to fall, and her child wouldn’t have been lost.
It’s all Ning Wanyin’s fault!
The eunuch announced, “The Emperor has arrived!”
The Emperor’s entourage came from the Qianxin Hall, and all the concubines bowed.
“Your Majesty, Song Jieyu fell from the altar, resulting in a miscarriage. She has accused Ning Jieyu of pushing her down.” Shu Fei reported.
Helian Qi glanced at Song Qingzhi, who was covered in blood, and finally looked at Ning Wanyin.
“I did not touch Song Jieyu in the slightest. She fell down on her own.” Ning Wanyin said frankly, looking back at Helian Qi.
Xue Meiren scoffed, “Could it be that Song Jieyu deliberately harmed herself? I believe that Ning Jieyu was jealous of Song Jieyu’s pregnancy and deliberately plotted to kill her!”
