Chapter 165 Happy Event

She was really scared.

Emperor Yuan Yong also knew that she was really scared.

If it was another concubine, at least her family would be an official family or a large family. If something happened to him, even if she was favored before and caused public resentment, there would at least be room for maneuver.

But she was different. Once she lost his protection, she would immediately fall into a desperate situation, with no chance of recovery!

Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't help but feel pity for her, and a strong sense of responsibility arose spontaneously. No matter what, he hoped that she would be well.

It seems that he should make some preparations for her, to put it bluntly, in case of any unexpected events.

Bending his head and kissing her, Emperor Yuan Yong comforted her softly, "Be good, don't be afraid. I will protect Lan'er. I promise."

"Well," Xu Lanshan obviously misunderstood his meaning and smiled softly: "With the emperor here, I am naturally relieved!"

Emperor Yuan Yong smiled and said "hmm", without explaining to her in detail. He knew what was going on and had made arrangements, so as to avoid scaring her by telling her.

"Yesterday, someone from Concubine Deng came to Ganyuan Palace to ask me to come and see her. She said she was feeling very unwell and asked me to come and see her. Although Concubine Deng was a bit of a chatterbox, she wasn't the kind of person who would act recklessly. She had never sent anyone to look for me before. I was a little curious, so I went over. Who could have known that bitch was so bold as to tamper with the incense?"

Even when the matter was brought up again, Emperor Yuan Yong was still furious, and murderous intent gradually surged onto his handsome face.

Xu Lanshan wanted to laugh when she heard him comment on Concubine Deng's gossip, but she couldn't help but be surprised when she heard the rest of the story: "What! How dare she!"

"Stupid!" Emperor Yuan Yong sneered disdainfully. "She tampered with the incense burner and kept claiming innocence. Ha, if Dong Zhi doesn't even have this little ability, he doesn't deserve to be by my side! Concubine Deng dared to commit suicide, so I will help her! This matter is not over yet. I have ordered her and her servants to be thrown into the Ministry of Punishment. Just wait and see, they will definitely find something that will surprise me!"

The matter had not yet been settled, and Emperor Yuan Yong did not explain it in too much detail, but he was sure that Concubine Deng must have known what kind of incense was on his clothes in the past two days. The incense in her incense burner was obviously carefully blended, and it just happened to interact with the incense on his clothes. She cried and said she didn't know, but he would never believe it.

He also didn't believe that Concubine Deng had such courage and ability. There must be someone behind this.

It doesn’t matter. Once she enters the Ministry of Punishment, he doesn’t believe that he can’t pry open her mouth!

In this palace, no one can surpass him, and there is nothing he can't do!

Xu Lanshan subconsciously thought of Concubine Lian, but she was not sure. Concubine Lian would not be so desperate, right?

If it is really her, I am afraid that even the Queen Mother can’t protect her this time!

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I am here to accompany you! I like to see you happy!"

Emperor Yuan Yong smiled, and his mood improved a bit: "Fortunately, I still have Lan'er! As long as I see Lan'er by my side, I am really happy."

Xu Lanshan giggled: "Don't worry! I will stay with the emperor for the rest of my life!"

"Be good..." After the two of them cuddled sweetly for a while, Emperor Yuan Yong urged someone to help Xu Lanshan put on her clothes and tidy up her hair.

"I've summoned the imperial physician to check on Lan'er." He felt a little unnatural. He had lost control yesterday and didn't know if he had hurt her.

If he didn't take the initiative to ask the imperial physician for this matter, she would not be able to summon the imperial physician. How could he bear it?

Xu Lanshan understood what he said, and her eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of resentment: How dare he say that! However, he still has a conscience, and finally thought of this...

Emperor Yuan Yong loved her cute and coquettish little expressions so much that he loved her more and more no matter how he looked at her. He couldn't help but hold her in his arms and kiss her for a while, which made Xu Lanshan very angry. Doctor Tang came, and Xu Lanshan had to pack up for a long time before she could go out to see people.

When Doctor Tang saw that the emperor was also there, he became even more respectful. After paying his respects, he followed the emperor's orders and knelt on one knee to take Xu Lanshan's pulse.

Xu Lanshan was in good spirits, and the aches and pains in her body would naturally get better over time. In fact, neither she nor Emperor Yuan Yong took the consultation seriously, as if it was just a check to see if she was safe.

Unexpectedly, after taking the pulse, Doctor Tang's expression froze and he became a little serious. "Your Majesty, please change your hand."

Emperor Yuan Yong and Xu Lanshan exchanged a glance. Emperor Yuan Yong gently patted Xu Lanshan's shoulder and looked at Imperial Physician Tang. "Imperial Physician Tang, what happened to Concubine Chen?"

Doctor Tang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't worry. Your Majesty is in good health. I just want to examine you more carefully."

Emperor Yuan Yong and Xu Lanshan both breathed a sigh of relief. Emperor Yuan Yong glared at Doctor Tang with a sullen look, "If nothing's wrong, what's with that look on your face? If you've frightened Concubine Chen, I won't forgive you!"

Doctor Tang apologized repeatedly.

Xu Lanshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your Majesty, please don't scare Doctor Tang! Doctor Tang is very serious and careful! Doctor Tang only takes the pulse."

"Yes, my lady!"

Emperor Yuan Yong gently scratched Xu Lanshan's back, causing her to glare. Imperial Physician Tang lowered his eyes; he knew nothing...

After taking the patient's pulse, Doctor Tang smiled slightly, took two steps back, knelt down, and respectfully bowed to congratulate him: "Congratulations to the Emperor and His Majesty! Concubine Chen is pregnant!"

"What!"

"ah?!"

Emperor Yuan Yong and Xu Lanshan were both shocked by this sudden news!

Emperor Yuan Yong was overjoyed. "Really? How many months?"

Doctor Tang smiled apologetically, "How dare I, your humble servant, deceive the Emperor and His Majesty! Of course it's true! It's been over a month!"

Emperor Yuan Yong smiled from ear to ear: "Excellent! Dong Zhi, I will reward Imperial Physician Tang with a hundred taels of gold!"

"Thank you, my Lord, for your grace!"

"Don't rush to thank me yet, Imperial Physician Tang. I'm leaving the care of Concubine Chen's baby in your hands. There hasn't been any good news from the palace in a while. You must take good care of Concubine Chen's baby and pay close attention to it! Just ask for anything you need. Everything in the Imperial Hospital will be prioritized for Concubine Chen first. When Concubine Chen gives birth to an heir, I'll reward you handsomely!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will do my best!"

Doctor Tang was a little nervous. If he had a choice, he would definitely stay away from this matter. But it was he who diagnosed the pulse, and the emperor gave him the responsibility of this matter, so he couldn't refuse.

Otherwise, you will definitely anger the emperor and end up in a bad situation!

It would be better to take good care of Concubine Chen and try to have a better future.

Although Concubine Chen Guipin has no support from her natal family, she has the emperor's unique favor, and she herself is an extremely intelligent person, so she may be able to give birth to a healthy child.

Xu Lanshan couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Doctor Tang, is the baby in my belly safe?"

Emperor Yuan Yong shuddered, his face paling instantly. "Yes, yes, Imperial Physician Tang, please take a quick look, examine her carefully!" How did he know she was pregnant? Yesterday...
