Everyone stared at Su Feiling in disbelief, as if they couldn't believe that she had actually knelt down and apologized to Su Xuening.
Just now she threatened the Emperor with her death, insisting on investigating the Holy Princess Consort. How come she's suddenly willing to back down now?
Not only were Xuan Yuanpeng, the Bai family, and the imperial physicians surprised, but even Su Huiyan, Xuan Yuanyu, and Su Muyao looked at Su Feiling in shock, not understanding why she suddenly knelt down in front of Su Xuening!
This is completely unlike Su Feiling's personality. Given Su Feiling's temperament, she probably wouldn't kneel down to Su Xuening unless she was driven to the brink of death.
Whether it was Su Huiyan, Su Muyao, or even Xuan Yuanyu, they all knew Su Feiling very well, so at this moment, the three of them almost simultaneously thought that there was a problem with the child in her belly.
Of course, Su Xuening knew Su Feiling very well. She glanced at Su Feiling's hand that was holding her belly, and her clear eyes narrowed slightly.
After a long while, Su Xuening looked at Xuan Yuanzhan and Bai Shi and said, "I'm a little tired."
"Tired?" Xuan Yuanzhan was the first to react and stepped forward to put his arm around Su Xuening's shoulder.
Su Xuening looked at him and smiled, "I want to go back."
Xuan Yuanzhan glanced at Su Xuening with some concern, wondering why she suddenly wanted to go back, and then frowned at Xuan Yuanpeng.
Xuanyuan Peng understood his thoughts perfectly, and nodded in agreement, "Alright, if you're tired, go back and rest."
Su Xuening bowed to Xuan Yuanpeng before turning to Su Huiyan and Su Feiling: "Please don't forget to issue an apology notice, Consort Su and Concubine Su."
Both of them were somewhat stunned and did not respond.
Su Xuening left before they could speak.
Xuan Yuanzhan was genuinely worried that she was tired, so when he saw her leave, he quickly took two steps over and carried her away in his arms.
The imperial physicians watched as Xuan Yuanzhan carried Su Xuening away, all with expressions of emotion.
The Holy King dotes on his Holy Queen so much, how could the child in her womb not be his?
This inspection is completely unnecessary!
Su Muyao watched the two figures, her heart burning with jealousy.
What's so great about Su Xuening that makes her worthy of his doting affection?
If one day she could receive such a hug from him, she would be willing to die for it!
Su Feiling stared at Su Xuening's departing figure, feeling both incredulous and bewildered.
Did she just let her go like that?
Why?
She must have noticed something just now, right?
Even if she couldn't be sure of anything before, with her intelligence, she should have understood everything just now by kneeling down. So why did she let her go?
Isn't this the best chance to kill her? Why would she give it up?
In fact, she had already prepared a countermeasure, which was her only way out of the deadlock, but she didn't expect Su Xuening to let her go so easily!
After Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening left, Bai Shi also didn't want to stay there any longer. She gave Su Feiling a meaningful look before turning to Xuan Yuanpeng and said, "I'm leaving too."
Xuanyuan Peng wanted to get up, but with so many imperial physicians present, he could only say, "Let Zong Jiu escort you."
Bai laughed and said, "It's such a short distance, why bother with a delivery?"
After Bai finished speaking, she turned and left.
Xuanyuan Peng stared longingly at Bai Shi's figure until she left the main hall and disappeared from sight, then reluctantly turned his gaze away.
The imperial physicians all lowered their eyes, keeping their eyes downcast and not daring to look at their emperor's infatuated little expression for even a moment.
Once Bai Shi was completely out of sight, Xuan Yuanpeng frowned and looked at Su Feiling.
Su Huiyan was the quickest to react. Before Xuan Yuanpeng could react, she pleaded for mercy: "Your Majesty, we were wrong this time. We misunderstood the Holy Princess. I knew it. How could a daughter of the Su family do such a despicable thing?"
Su Huiyan's words made everyone present feel ashamed.
Otherwise, how could she become an imperial concubine? Her shamelessness is something they can't even begin to describe.
Previously, she insisted that they had misdiagnosed her pulse, saying that the Holy Princess could not possibly be more than six months pregnant, and when she insisted that there was a problem with the child in her belly, why didn't she say that the Holy Princess was their Su family's daughter?
Now that everything has settled down, she's saying these things again, which makes even outsiders like them feel ashamed.
Xuanyuan Peng's face was also extremely ugly, his eyes filled with disgust.
Seeing Xuan Yuanpeng's expression, Su Huiyan forced a smile and said, "We are sorry for what happened to the Holy Princess. We'll go back and write an apology notice right away."
Before Xuan Yuanpeng could even speak, Su Huiyan glared at Su Feiling's maids: "What are you all standing there for? Your mistress is heavily pregnant, how long are you going to make her kneel!"
As soon as Su Huiyan said this, the palace maids finally came to their senses and hurriedly helped Su Feiling up.
Su Feiling was quick-witted and knew that Su Huiyan was trying to help her out of a predicament, so she curtsied to Xuan Yuanpeng and followed Su Huiyan away.
Before leaving, the two had Zhong's body carried away.
Su Muyao followed them out.
Xuanyuan Peng watched the backs of the group, narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked at the large group of imperial physicians and frowned, saying, "Third brother, stay. Everyone else, leave."
"Yes," everyone responded and then left together.
Soon, only Xuanyuan Peng and Xuanyuan Yu remained in the room.
Xuanyuan Peng frowned and stared at Xuanyuan Yu, saying, "You saw today's farce, is there something wrong with the child in your concubine's belly?"
Even though Xuanyuan Peng was unaware of their relationship, he sensed that Su Feiling was somewhat problematic.
She suddenly knelt down before Zhan's daughter-in-law, and Zhan's daughter-in-law stopped asking the imperial physicians to examine her pulse. This whole thing seemed very strange!
Now that it's been proven that there's nothing wrong with the child in Zhan'er's wife's belly, the only problem left is with Yu'er, the concubine.
Xuanyuan Yu's dark eyes flickered slightly as he lowered his gaze and said, "She will be fine. Although she schemed against me the day before our wedding, and I mistook her for Su Xuening, she was indeed a pure and innocent woman who came with me. Since entering the palace, she has never left. The month of her pregnancy also matches the day I favored her. She will definitely be fine!"
Seeing how confident he sounded, Xuanyuan Peng decided not to pursue the matter further: "Since you say there's no problem, then I'll assume there's no problem. But you should also keep a close eye on your own women, and stop them from causing trouble for Zhan'er and the others all the time!"
Xuanyuan Yu didn't speak, but only glanced at Xuanyuan Peng leisurely.
It's as if he's asking, "Have he managed to control his woman?"
Xuan Yuan Yu's gaze instantly reminded Xuan Yuan Peng of that woman, Su Hui Yan, and his head began to ache again. He rubbed his temples and waved his hand dismissively, "Alright, get out. Your noise is giving me a headache."
Looking at Xuan Yuanpeng's exhausted appearance, Xuan Yuanyu clenched the small black jar in his sleeve again.
Now, whenever he comes to see his father, he always brings this little black jar with him.
Now that his father is completely unsuspecting, this is a perfect opportunity to use poison!
