Chen Xuping felt nothing but scorn and disdain. He had always despised those concubines, and by extension, their sons and daughters.
When Hong Xiu saw how he was unable to hide the worry and concern on his face, a thought flashed through her mind as she said in a helpless and pitiful manner, "Our Crown Princess was doing well, but after returning from the Flower Admiring Banquet held by the Virtuous Consort the other day, her health suddenly deteriorated. And the next day… Her Highness miscarried."
Chen Xuping noticed the insinuation in her story and pressed with a frown, "Was there anyone who wanted to harm Her Highness present at the Flower Admiring Banquet?"
Hong Xiu sighed. "Who would even dare think about harming Her Highness considering her high stature? Although…"
She hesitated slightly as if she was not willing to voice out her thoughts out of fear.
