Upon seeing the eunuch return, the emperor asked in a cold voice, "How is the empress?"

The eunuch frowned: "There was a pool of blood on the ground. The Emperor's father-in-law has already taken the Empress back to the palace. She is probably already receiving treatment, but we don't know the specific illness yet."

"Why is there blood?" the lord asked, frowning.

"This servant doesn't know either. This servant will go to the Empress's palace to check right away." With that, the eunuch hurriedly ran off, knowing he might lose his life if he didn't.

Upon arriving at the destination, the imperial physician happened to be coming out of the Empress's palace and walked up to the eunuch with great joy.

The father-in-law asked in confusion, "What's making you so happy? Is Your Highness better?"

"Not only are you better, but you're also overjoyed."

"What's there to be happy about?"

"Your Majesty is pregnant, but it shouldn't be long yet, so your pulse isn't very clear. We'll come back in a few days to take your pulse again, and then it will be clearer."

The father-in-law was even more puzzled. Now that something like this had happened, didn't this old man know anything about it? It wasn't even certain whose it was.

"You'd better go back quickly, and whatever you do, don't tell the Emperor about this yet."

"Of course, we'll definitely wait until it's confirmed before we talk about it."

His father-in-law waved his hand at him and said, "Hurry up and go."

After saying that, he walked past him and went into the hall.

Upon seeing him approach, both the Emperor's father-in-law and the Empress became tense.

"Her Majesty is unwell at the moment. Please discuss this matter with Your Majesty in a few days," the Grand Tutor roared.

"Your Excellency, please don't misunderstand. I've only come to check on Her Majesty's health."

"Your Majesty has been worrying too much and overworking, which is why you are weak. The snow on the ground is just a woman's normal menstrual flow. I estimate that Your Majesty will need to rest for a while."

The father-in-law nodded and said, "Then Your Highness should rest well. I still need to go back and report to His Majesty."

"Go ahead and tell them that Her Majesty needs to recuperate for a while before she can be by the Emperor's side again."

"Yes," the father-in-law replied and left.

After he left, the Empress asked in a tearful voice, "Father, what should we do?"

"This is not entirely your fault. Your Majesty's incompetence in this area has indeed wronged you. However, we cannot be sure that you are really pregnant yet. We will discuss it again in a few days after we have confirmed it."

After saying that, the Grand Tutor sighed and patted her shoulder, saying, "You don't need to worry too much. With me here, the Emperor won't do anything to you. After all, he depends on us for many things. Don't worry, your father will definitely handle it for you."

"Can you go back to your residence to rest for the next few days? I was really scared today."

The emperor's father-in-law shook his head: "No, that will only make everyone more suspicious. You should just rest and recuperate; nothing will happen to you. I need to leave the palace as soon as possible to find that person."

"Yes, he was thrown out and will definitely be taken away by someone with ulterior motives. Father must find him and not let him fall into the hands of others, especially the Regent."

"Don't worry about that. Alright, you get some rest. I'll be going now."

After saying this, the emperor's father-in-law got up and left.
