Reminded by Su Xuening, Xuan Yuanzhan finally remembered.
He had visited the Imperial Hospital a few times before, and he seemed to have heard someone call out Liu Songming's name.
No wonder the name sounded familiar; it turned out he was a royal physician.
Su Xuening had figured out everything Su Feiling had done and sneered, "Su Feiling is really good at scheming. By getting involved with an imperial physician, she can keep her entire pregnancy a secret."
Otherwise, how could she have kept her fake pregnancy a secret in the palace?
It has to be said, Su Feiling's brain is really amazing!
Xuanyuan Zhan understood what Su Feiling wanted to do and frowned in confusion, saying, "Why do you think she's doing so much? If she really wanted to have a child, she could find a man herself and get pregnant herself. She wouldn't need this imperial physician surnamed Liu or her maid."
Even if she has to use a physician surnamed Liu, it doesn't matter. She can get pregnant herself. At least the child will be her own. If the child really has a chance to become a prince or emperor in the future, then she, as the biological mother, is better than the adoptive mother!
Moreover, things are now so complicated, requiring both maids and imperial physicians. The more people involved in the whole affair, the greater the uncertainty becomes.
Simply put, if just one person makes a mistake, the whole thing can be lost.
Su Xuening blinked. To be honest, she really couldn't figure out why Su Feiling didn't go herself.
Perhaps she couldn't bring herself to harm Physician Liu, but that's not like Su Feiling's personality. For the wealth and status she desires, she should be capable of doing such a thing.
Or perhaps she was originally going to do it herself, but Physician Liu didn't think much of her.
However, this is unlikely. Putting aside everything else, Su Feiling is much prettier than Zishu, and after all, she is a concubine with a noble status.
It's also possible that Physician Liu didn't dare to touch Su Feiling, so Su Feiling had Zi Shu seduce Physician Liu.
However, since Physician Liu dared not touch Su Feiling, he should also know that the Purple Book was not something he could touch either. How could he have fallen for Su Feiling's trick?
Su Xuening couldn't understand, so she lifted the curtain and glanced at the mansion again: "Okay, leave two guards to keep an eye on Zishu, and we'll go back to the Holy King's Mansion first."
"Okay." Xuan Yuanzhan responded and was about to call Ye Feng.
Seeing this, Su Xuening looked directly at Ye Xue and said, "Ye Xue, it's more convenient for you since Zi Shu is a woman."
"I'm not tired," Ye Xue said, then got off the carriage.
Xuanyuan Zhan then sent another bodyguard to Ye Xue before letting Ye Yun drive back.
On the carriage, Xuan Yuanzhan thought about the house they had just left and was still a little puzzled: "Since Zishu is so important in the plans of the two Su women, why didn't she send two guards to watch over that house?"
And it was really strange that woman went out to buy wontons earlier.
Given her identity, would the two Su family daughters allow her to run around freely? What if she were discovered, like they did? Wouldn't all her secrets be exposed?
Su Xuening wasn't so surprised and sneered, "Su Feiling is very clever. She shouldn't be afraid of others discovering Zishu. Let alone the fact that Zishu only goes out once every ten days or half a month, she might not run into anyone she knows. Even if it were such a coincidence that we ran into her and recognized Zishu, could you connect her with the child in Su Feiling's belly?"
Others might at most think that Zi Shu was immoral in the palace, having an affair and getting pregnant. But Su Feiling was magnanimous and did not pursue her crime, only banishing her from the palace.
Su Feiling herself probably didn't expect that they would run into Zi Shu.
Furthermore, she possessed medical knowledge and discovered early on that Su Feiling was not pregnant at all. In addition, she had memories of her past life and knew that Su Feiling had no children in her previous life, and that Su Feiling's pregnancy was false. Therefore, she was able to connect Zi Shu's pregnancy with Su Feiling's false pregnancy.
As for why no one was sent to guard it?
It would be more suspicious to have someone guarding a maid who has been expelled from the palace!
It's possible that Su Feiling has no one she can trust left, so she probably trusts Zi Shu to keep the secret better by sending other palace servants to monitor her.
After all, Zi Shu's future child would be a prince, and based on that alone, Su Feiling believed that Zi Shu would never betray her. Who wouldn't want to rise to the top and enjoy wealth and glory in one fell swoop?
Moreover, even if Zi Shu is indeed discovered, she is just a child without her own bloodline. There are children like that everywhere in Dongchu, and Su Feiling can abandon Zi Shu at any time.
For Su Feiling, Zi Shu's life was completely unimportant. Just like Bai Qin back then, if Bai Qin hadn't died, perhaps someone else could be monitoring Zi Shu for her now.
Xuanyuan Zhan also sneered sarcastically: "This Imperial Physician Liu is really bold, daring to help the two Su women confuse the royal bloodline!"
Su Xuening remained noncommittal, but indeed, this Physician Liu was incredibly audacious, risking his life for wealth and status.
However, it's also possible that this person was threatened by Su Feiling, a woman who is capable of any kind of vicious scheme.
Su Xuening thought of something else and pouted, "Actually, Su Feiling's actions can't really be considered as confusing the royal bloodline."
Su Xuening's words reminded Xuan Yuanzhan, who was speechless for a moment.
Okay, if Xuanyuan Yu really wasn't born to Xuanyuan Peng, then it's wrong from the start, and no matter how they try to confuse the two, it's still wrong.
"Are you going to take Zi Shu to see Xuan Yuanpeng?"
"Of course not!" Su Xuening refused without hesitation. "What's the use of arresting her now? We have to wait until she gives birth and Su Feiling's plan succeeds before we make our move."
Now that Zi Shu has been arrested, even if she's willing to testify against Su Feiling in person, Su Feiling can still deny it. It's better to wait until they complete their plan and solidify their charges. Then, when they produce the evidence, they won't be able to deny it.
Of course, the reason she doesn't expose Su Feiling and the others now is largely because in her past life, Su Feiling and Xuan Yuan Yu had her child's heart cut out and offered to Xuan Yuan Peng.
In this life, she was not imprisoned in the cold palace by them. She wanted to see if they would still harm her child, or other children.
No matter what, the things from her past life are an obstacle she can't get over!
Xuan Yuanzhan naturally supported Su Xuening's decision: "Then let Ye Xue keep an eye on them for now, and we'll talk about it after that maid gives birth."
"Mm." Su Xuening nodded.
She had been worried about not being able to find the Purple Book, but now it had suddenly appeared in front of them.
Having learned the whereabouts of the Purple Book and the entirety of Su Feiling's plan, she felt more confident.
The rest is up to them to decide how to act; as for the rest of us, we just need to watch and improvise.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the Holy King's Palace.
As soon as Xuanyuan Zhan helped Su Xuening down from the carriage, the gatekeeper rushed over: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the Ninth Eunuch from the palace has arrived."
