The women in the harem were really scared when they learned that Wushuang had punished Meng Jieyu.
No one really dared to be sarcastic to Wushuang or engage in an open argument with him.
But it is impossible to say that there is no action behind the scenes. Wushuang looked at the pregnancy-preserving medicine sent over and said speechlessly, "Send Dr. Shen here."
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Qing He saw that her majesty looked unhappy, so she called for Doctor Shen and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Or is the little prince feeling unwell?"
Wushuang: What's wrong with the little prince? He's only one month old and hasn't developed yet, so how could he be wrong?
"Keep this pregnancy-maintaining medicine. Please ask Imperial Physician Shen to come and take a look." Wushuang pointed to the pregnancy-maintaining medicine on the table.
Wushuang actually didn't need to take the pregnancy-maintaining medicine, but it was Dongfang Che's concern for her and the baby in her belly, and she couldn't refuse it.
So she basically poured all the pregnancy-maintaining drugs into her half-life space, as if it were fertilizer for the flowers and plants in her space.
Well, there is an area in her half-life space that is not afraid of the warm pregnancy-maintaining medicine. After watering it several times, it grows quite well.
When Qing He heard Wu Shuang's words, she looked at the pregnancy-preserving medicine on the table with wide eyes, "My Lady, is there something wrong with the pregnancy-preserving medicine?"
Wushuang nodded, "It should be mixed with some abortion drugs or something. Although it won't abort the fetus, it will also make the child grow poorly."
Qinghe widened her eyes. The fetus was not growing well. Not to mention the royal family, no family would be happy if a child was born with any defects.
Even women who give birth to children will be labeled as unlucky and cursed, because they give birth to defective children because they are unlucky.
If the substance in this pregnancy-preserving medicine causes the little prince his empress is carrying to have defects, then His Majesty's promise to make him queen will not be fulfilled, and his empress may even fall out of favor.
Qing He realized the seriousness of the situation and hurried out to find Dr. Shen.
We must let Imperial Physician Shen find out what the medicine is, and who gave their queen such a vicious medicine?
This is His Majesty's first child, and may also be His Majesty's only child. Yet, some people are unwilling to let him be born and grow up healthy.
All Qinghe could think of were the other women in the harem.
Because their queen is a competitor, they can't bear to see their queen live a good life, and don't want to see their queen really give birth to a prince and become queen.
Qing He thought about it and asked someone to find Imperial Physician Shen, while she went to find Eunuch Cao Fu who was beside His Majesty.
"Eunuch, there is an abortion drug in our queen's pregnancy-maintaining medicine. This is a serious crime of murdering the royal heir." Qinghe said to Cao Fu with a serious expression.
"If our queen hadn't been alert and noticed something bad in the pregnancy-preserving medicine, the consequences would have been disastrous if she had drunk it."
When Cao Fu heard Qinghe say this, his expression changed.
This is their Majesty's first child, how could he be killed?
When someone wanted to harm his Majesty's child, Cao Fu was the first to disagree.
"Don't worry, Miss Qinghe. I will definitely find out who attacked the imperial concubine." Cao Fu said with a serious expression.
Qing He certainly believed in Cao Fu's ability. He was able to follow Dongfang Che all the way to the present day and became the chief eunuch in charge of most of the palace maids and eunuchs. His methods must be quite good.
If Cao Fu had poor abilities, he would not have been able to stay by Dongfang Che's side and serve him forever.
After Qinghe left, Cao Fu went in to find Dongfang Che.
"What did you say?" Dongfang Che stood up angrily after hearing Cao Fu's words, "Someone gave my beloved concubine an abortion drug?"
"What about Concubine Gu? How is she now?" Dongfang Che was angry and anxious, and was full of worry about Wushuang and the baby in her belly.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is fine. Thanks to her vigilance, she did not drink the bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine." Cao Fu replied.
Dongfang Che finally relaxed a bit, but he was still worried about Wushuang's situation.
Dongfang Che arrived at Yunqi Palace very quickly and ran into Imperial Physician Shen who came from the Imperial Hospital.
"Doctor Shen, please take a look at the imperial concubine. How is she now? Is there anything wrong?" Dongfang Che said.
Imperial Physician Shen had no objection and quickly took Wushuang's pulse to confirm the safety of her and the baby in her belly.
Imperial Physician Shen carefully took her pulse and checked her again before turning back to report, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is fine, and the little prince in her belly is also fine."
Dongfang Che felt relieved, walked over, took Wushuang's hand and said, "My beloved, you scared me."
"I'm so glad you're okay."
Wushuang smiled at him. She knew that he was so anxious not because of her, but because he was worried about the baby in her belly.
Although she is very beautiful and Dongfang Che likes her beauty very much, he will not fall in love with her so much in such a short time.
The reason he was so anxious just now was because she was pregnant with his first child, the child he had been waiting for for nearly thirty years.
Wushuang didn't feel lost or dissatisfied. Whether it was caring about her or the child, the benefits would all fall on her, right?
And when she thought that the child in her belly could bring her decades of cultivation, she felt very kind to it.
"Imperial Physician Shen, check what's going on with the pregnancy-preserving medicine in the bowl." Dongfang Che comforted Wushuang for a while, then said to Imperial Physician Shen with a serious expression.
Imperial Physician Shen nodded, picked up the pregnancy-maintaining medicine, smelled it, and tasted it.
Neither pregnancy-maintaining drugs nor abortion drugs are very harmful to men, so Imperial Physician Shen tasted them.
Imperial Physician Shen frowned slightly and looked at Qing He and asked, "Are the residues of the abortion-preserving medicine still left?"
Qing He nodded quickly and asked someone to bring up the prepared medicinal residue.
Imperial Physician Shen checked and found that there was nothing wrong with the residue of the abortion-maintaining medicine.
It seems that someone directly added something else into the cooked pregnancy-maintaining medicine, rather than mixing something into the medicinal ingredients.
"Your Majesty, this pregnancy-preserving medicine has been spiked with Luohua Powder," Imperial Physician Shen reported to Dongfang Che.
Dongfang Che frowned, "Falling Flower Powder, a secret medicine from the palace?"
This Luohua Powder is not a secret medicine that only existed in the previous dynasty, but a secret medicine that has been used in the courts of several dynasties.
Even if this is considered a banned drug and is not allowed to be used, who cares whether it is a banned drug or not during palace fighting?
Some secret remedies for conceiving a child are also banned drugs, but women in the harem will still use them even if they are banned drugs in order to have children, especially sons.
This "Falling Flowers Scattered" was banned for several dynasties, but it still circulated in the present Da Sheng Dynasty.
When Dongfang Che was a child, he also witnessed the power of Luohuasan.
In his father's harem, someone used Luohua Powder to abort the babies in other concubines' wombs.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Che couldn't help but hold Wushuang's hand and said thankfully, "Fortunately, my beloved concubine, you were alert and didn't drink this bowl of medicine."
If Wushuang really drank it, then the Luohua Powder would take effect and his son might not survive, right?
The person who drugged me is truly despicable.
