Yu Jingchen knew that Nan Zhiyun was not feeling well, and he would not let this matter go easily.
"Second Princess Yu Wan'er plotted to harm the imperial heir, a crime that cannot be forgiven. Considering her young age, she is spared the death penalty. However, while the death penalty may be waived, punishment is inevitable. Her title of imperial princess is hereby revoked, and she is to be imprisoned in Changning Pavilion, where she may not leave without an imperial edict!" In the end, Yu Jingchen did not take Yu Wan'er's life.
"Father..." Yu Wan'er begged for mercy, but no one would give her that chance. (There will be a side story about Yu Wan'er later, revealing the plot holes in the main story.)
Although Yu Wan'er's matter was over, other matters were not.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing..." Xinglai hesitated before speaking.
"Speak!" Yu Jingchen was in an extremely bad mood and naturally had no patience.
“Your Majesty, the imperial physician you asked me to investigate… there’s something wrong with him.” As soon as Xing Lai finished speaking, Yu Jingchen and Nan Zhiyun looked over at the same time.
"What do you mean?" Yu Jingchen asked.
"This servant has discovered that the imperial physician... used to frequently visit Consort Yuan's palace. The Crown Prince was unwell a while ago, and it was this imperial physician who went there. Moreover... that imperial physician received a lot of benefits from Consort Yuan." Xing Lai had already said this much, so it was quite obvious.
"Summon the Imperial Physician, have all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau come here." Yu Jingchen, on the contrary, calmed down. Nan Zhiyun felt uneasy. These past few days, that imperial physician had been in charge of her fetus. If there really was a problem with her, then...
"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Yu Jingchen reassured him.
Nan Zhiyun had no other choice but to wait quietly. Suddenly, Yu Jingchen ordered all the imperial physicians to come over, and everyone thought that something had happened to the Empress.
The imperial physicians were all kneeling outside, and Yu Jingchen didn't let anyone in. Seeing this situation, anyone with eyes could tell that something was wrong, especially the imperial physician who had been in charge of Nan Zhiyun's fetus.
"His Majesty has decreed that all the imperial physicians should go and take the Empress's pulse one by one," Xinglai said. This left them somewhat bewildered, but they had no choice but to obey. When the first imperial physician went in, his legs were trembling.
"Take the Empress's pulse." Yu Jingchen said calmly. Nan Zhiyun leaned against Yu Jingchen's chest, her heart pounding with anxiety, fearing that something might happen to the child.
"Yes..." The imperial physician took Nan Zhiyun's pulse through a handkerchief. At first, he thought it was a serious problem, but after taking her pulse, the imperial physician visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"How is it?" Yu Jingchen naturally noticed the change in the imperial physician's expression, and his heart stirred slightly.
"Your Majesty, the Empress may have been frightened, which makes the pregnancy somewhat unstable. In addition, her recent emotional instability has also had some impact on the fetus. However, as long as she takes good care of herself and keeps a good mood, there shouldn't be any major problems," the imperial physician said.
"No other problems?" Yu Jingchen asked again, his voice flat, so the imperial physician was unsure of His Majesty's meaning. He even wondered if he had made a mistake in his diagnosis, so he checked the pulse again.
"Yes, Your Majesty... that is indeed the case." The imperial physician was no longer confident; he didn't even believe his own answer anymore.
"Alright, wait aside and let the next one in." Yu Jingchen didn't offer any opinion. The imperial physician's heart pounded. He was afraid that if Yu Jingchen became unhappy, he would lose his life here.
Fortunately, they went downstairs and called in a second person. What they said was basically the same: Nan Zhiyun's pulse was a little unstable.
