Chapter 534: Passing the buck, taking the blame

"So how did the baby in Concubine Pei's belly disappear? It couldn't have been caused by my Tiger, right, Tiger?"

Xu Muhua said while deliberately asking Tiger, "Tiger, it wasn't you who killed Concubine Pei, right?"

But Tiger roared after hearing her words, as if in response, and hugged his doll tighter!

Hey, this is something only it has, even the master doesn't have it!

"Concubine Pei, you keep saying that it was the Crown Princess who resented you because of the conflicts they had in the past, and that she was jealous that you were pregnant with the emperor's grandson first, so she wanted to harm you. But the Crown Princess didn't push you, and she didn't poison you or anything, so how could your child just die?"

"Now it's clear what the doll is. It's just Tiger Cub's toy, and it's not the annoying trick that everyone is worried about."

Xu Muhua said, turning to face the emperor and pleading sincerely: "Father, this shows that there must be another story behind this matter! The child couldn't have died just fine, and the Eastern Palace didn't do anything to Concubine Pei. I think the problem lies with the child. Please ask Doctor Liu Yu to come and check Concubine Pei's pulse again!"

Xu Muhua said as he secretly paid attention to the reactions of Prince Qin and Pei Zhen.

A trace of panic flashed across Pei Zhen's face. She subconsciously glanced at Prince Qin. Seeing that he didn't react, she calmed down as well.

Xu Muhua sneered secretly.

You are so confident that you think everything is under your control, so you are not worried at all, right?

Prince Qin, oh, Prince Qin, your good days are over today!

Xu Muhua said that she didn't understand it at all.

The Li family fell, and Prince Qin had no support from his mother's family. Although the Princess of Qin was also from a wealthy family and her father was a senior official in the court, she was also implicated in the affairs of the Li family, and she has been doing things under the hood for the past two years.

Concubine Li died in the palace again, and it can be said that Prince Qin's foundation was cut off. The emperor finally let go of the Li family's affairs, and thought about his son again. Instead of being a wealthy prince, he was thinking about doing something all day long. Isn't this courting death?

People are prone to being mean. When life gets easier, their hearts become wild, and they start thinking about making troubles, and they won't stop until they get themselves killed.

Things have come to this point, and the emperor is not really stupid. He can see what happened today.

His somewhat disappointed eyes fell on Prince Qin, and instantly Prince Qin's back felt cold. The hands hanging at his sides couldn't help but clench, and his facial muscles tensed up.

The emperor sent someone to call Doctor Liu Yi over.

Doctor Liu Yi is responsible for the emperor's daily health check-ups, and is also the best doctor in the Imperial Hospital.

Before Doctor Liu Yi had time to salute, the Emperor said, "Doctor Liu Yi, go and take a look at Concubine Pei."

Concubine Pei, Doctor Liu Yi knew of course.

The biggest happy event in the palace recently was probably that Concubine Qin Wang was pregnant, and it was very likely to be a son.

Before coming here, he had also heard about what happened in the East Palace today, and knew that Concubine Pei had miscarried, and it was indeed a boy.

What a pity.

"Your humble servant obeys your order."

Doctor Liu Yi walked towards Pei Zhen.

Pei Zhen seemed to hesitate for a moment, and at the signal of King Qin Wang's eyes, she slowly stretched out her wrist.

Doctor Liu Yi took her pulse and concentrated, and everyone's eyes fell on the two of them.

Although the King of Qin was confident, he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

After a long time, Doctor Liu Yu withdrew his hand, and quickly stood up and walked back to the center to reply, "Your Majesty, I have carefully observed Concubine Pei's pulse and found that it is consistent with that of a pregnant woman after a miscarriage, and her qi and blood are deficient."

The King of Qin and Pei Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this.

"However, I have also discovered that there seems to be a kind of medicine left in Concubine Pei's body. This medicine can change the pulse of a pregnant woman in a short period of time, making the fetus look like a healthy fetus. Once the effect of the medicine wears off, the fetus's appearance will be exposed, and..."

The emperor's face had turned gloomy at this time, "and what, just say it!"

"And it will cause a natural miscarriage, which cannot be stopped. This medicine is only grown in Pishan State, and cannot be grown in Dayong."

Prince Qin and Pei Zhen's faces had changed drastically.

The prince reacted quickly and stood up excitedly, "Doctor Liu Yi, do you mean that the reason why I lost my child is because Concubine Pei used a certain medicine?"

Doctor Liu Yi answered honestly: "I boldly guess that the child in Concubine Pei's belly may not be saved from the beginning, so this medicine was used."

Doctor Liu Yi didn't care about the fight between the princes and the crown prince. The emperor asked him to diagnose the pulse, so he said whatever he saw from the pulse. He was the emperor's doctor, and he only needed to be loyal to the emperor.

"This is impossible!"

Pei Zhen also became excited, "The imperial physician said that the baby in my belly is very healthy! I haven't taken any medicine, I just drank the pregnancy-preserving medicine prescribed by the imperial physician! Someone must want to harm me, it must be like this!"

Zhao Chengye stood up, "Father, I heard about this, so before entering the palace, I went to Prince Qin's mansion in person and ordered people to search. Finally, I found a packet of medicine in Concubine Pei's room, so I brought it here and let Doctor Liu Yu take a look and everything will be clear!"

Prince Qin turned his head and looked at him, and he didn't have time to hide the surprise and shock in his eyes.

Pei Zhen was stunned for a moment, but she didn't know what she thought of and calmed down immediately.

Yes, she took the medicine, but she had thrown away the rest! She scattered it in the pond with her own hands!

The emperor looked at Zhao Chengye solemnly, "Present it!"

Zhao Chengye's men quickly presented the medicine.

Without the emperor's order, Doctor Liu Yu opened the medicine bag, smelled it first, then put some on his tongue with his finger and tasted it, and finally nodded: "Your Majesty, it is this medicine!"

Pei Zhen's eyes widened in horror, blurting out: "Impossible! I clearly spilled it in the pond!"

The hall was silent!

After Pei Zhen came to his senses, the blood on his face disappeared instantly, and he was about to fall.

"Pah!"

Xu Muhua shuddered, reached out to touch his face, hissed secretly, and looked at Pei Zhen who was slapped to the ground by the Qin Wang with sympathy.

See, the Qin Wang is going to blame others! Pei Zhen is going to take the blame!

"You bastard! You actually hid such an important matter, and dared to use medicine privately to deceive everyone. In the end, you ran to the East Palace to frame the Crown Princess. How could you be so cruel! You told me that you wanted to resolve the conflict between you and the Crown Princess, so I advised you to go to the East Palace more often. I didn't expect you to have such an idea!"

King Qin scolded Pei Zhen in disappointment.
