After thorough preparations, Shen Aoshan finally "slept" with the Emperor five days after entering the palace. Bai Muchen and Ye Xiao (now a member of the Imperial Guard) took great pains to keep the Emperor from falling into fantasy and avoiding any real consequences.
Ye Xiao went to the Jianghu to find inferior materials, and Bai Muchen refined them. This facilitated the matter and made the emperor the scapegoat.
(This thing is probably hereditary, the heroine and her daughter operate in unison)
Fearing that one attempt wouldn't be enough to convince her, Shen Aoshan endured the nausea and deliberately seduced the emperor, forcing him to stay overnight for a month. She had become a spoiled concubine.
Finally one day, the emperor was unable to come because of government affairs. Then, someone came to the palace gate to cause trouble under the pretext of passing by.
Imperial Concubine Mei, who had always been high and mighty, was furious to see a new bride so beautiful. Before she could even ask a few questions, she had her trusted confidant, Aunt Xu, slap her in the face, accusing Shen Aoshan of being disrespectful.
My father is a veteran general guarding the southern part of Dazhao, and Concubine Mei has considerable support. Sometimes she even ignores the Empress, so why would she care about a mere fourth-rank official like you?
Aunt Xu was big and strong, and in order to create a deterrent effect, she deliberately walked slowly, making her body tremble.
Then he stood in front of the kneeling Shen Aoshan. He wondered in his heart, how could this little girl be so good as to not beg for mercy, not be afraid, not tremble, and make her say it in front of more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs in a very embarrassing way.
Therefore, without giving any warning, he just slapped me in the face.
"Pa!" The slap was incredibly powerful, followed by a buzzing sound like hitting an iron plate. Then came Madam Xu's wails, her hands flailing. "Ahhh! This hurts so much! Ahhhh, Madam, she's a foxy woman with sorcery! It feels like hitting an iron plate!"
Before Imperial Concubine Mei could react, the head aunt Hu Jin, who had been kneeling silently beside Shen Aoshan, suddenly stood up and slapped Madam Xu. She rasped, "You daring and treacherous servant! Not only did you not kneel before Concubine Shen, you even addressed her by her given name. Furthermore, you slandered the Emperor's concubines as vixen. I think you're tired of living! Someone, drag me out and beat me to death!"
Aunt Hu Jin herself held a high position in the palace. She was a third-rank palace maid, the same rank as Aunt Xu.
There's no distinction between the two. Normally, a few words of reprimand on behalf of the master wouldn't be a big deal. But this guy, that's fake, a modern-day Yan Miaoling impersonating him. The type who can't stop when impulsive. Not only am I dumping you, I want you dead!
As soon as I heard this, I knew it was unprofessional.
Hahaha...
Beating him to death with clubs, who are you? Even a queen wouldn't be so cruel in front of others, shouting for killing.
After hearing this, Concubine Mei was furious. Just when she was about to show off her power, she suddenly started to attack.
Even less professional ones were still to come. A leader of the Imperial Guards, accompanied by a dozen or so of his men, came forward and shouted, "Take him away!"
The leader was none other than Night Owl, who had somehow managed to sneak in.
Seeing that his younger brothers were too timid to move, he stepped forward himself and kicked Aunt Xu so hard that she broke her bones and fell to the ground.
"Ahhh! Murder! Ugh..." The tools were very professional, and he had stolen the stinky socks from someone else's brother, stuffed them in the socks, and then dragged the person, no different from dragging a dog, towards the Ministry of Punishment...
You can’t kill people in front of your own palace, and you have to clean up the blood!
Imperial Concubine Mei was so angry that she collapsed backwards. "You, you are rebelling! You even dare to punish my people! How dare you! This is simply outrageous!"
While screaming, he pointed at the people behind him, "Are you all dead? Go grab it!"
The palace was paved with blue bricks, adorned with various reliefs for a refined and elegant look. Thanks to Night Owl's deliberate action, Madam Xu's knee rubbed against the bone, leaving a bloody mess...
Imperial Concubine Mei had brought her own palace guards, and they were no pushovers! Over a dozen of them swooped down before Night Owl. The guards were personal, paid for by whoever needed them; the Imperial Guards were paid for by the Emperor, helping to maintain order throughout the palace.
They were all protecting their master, and now they were facing off! It all depended on whose backing was stronger. To put it bluntly, it all came down to who the emperor would look after.
Yan Miaoling and Shen Aoshan looked at each other, and the next scene began.
As Shen Aoshan pretended to faint, Yan Miaoling rushed over to support her, anxiously shouting, "Empress Consort, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, Empress!"
...
Inside Funing Palace, upon hearing that the newlywed Shen Aoshan was pregnant after only a month of sleeping with him, Emperor Dazhao was overjoyed and paced back and forth excitedly! He repeatedly confirmed with Bai Muchen, "Doctor Bai, is Shan'er really pregnant? You didn't lie to me?"
Despite his age, he was as excited as a child, and his hair couldn't be greener.
But after his excitement, he had some sense. He immediately summoned the other imperial physicians. They all came to the same conclusion, "Your Majesty, she is pregnant. But it's still early, and we can't tell the exact stage. How about... waiting a while before taking your pulse again?"
The Great Zhao Emperor kicked him, "Useless thing, get out!" He narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Muchen who stood calmly. This was a miracle doctor, he would not offend him easily. He also did not doubt his medical skills.
Perhaps, the miracle doctor has his own unique methods.
After Bai Muchen left, the Great Zhao Emperor did a lot more research. He already had people in the palace. For example, he confirmed the date of the bride's last menstrual period, and summoned the nanny who had checked Shen Aoshan's innocence before she entered the palace.
For example, when he asked the spies who went to the border about the relationship between Shen Aoshan and Prince Chen, he was finally relieved after receiving the reply that it was neither hot nor cold.
Given Prince Chen's personality, he would never touch a woman he didn't like. Furthermore, if they had truly been married, even if he issued an imperial decree, his younger brother wouldn't yield. (He just didn't know how to doubt his frail and sickly son!)
