Seeing that Xuan Yuan Yu remained standing still, Xuan Yuan Peng looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something else?"
Xuanyuan Yu snapped out of his daze and gave Xuanyuan Peng a forced smile: "It's nothing, Your Majesty, I'll take my leave."
In the end, Xuanyuan Yu couldn't bring himself to do it and bowed as he withdrew.
Xuanyuan Peng watched Xuanyuan Yu's retreating figure and sighed silently.
The reason he stopped paying attention to that concubine was out of consideration for Xuanyuan Yu.
Since it's Xuanyuan Yu's own child anyway, he said there was no problem and he didn't want to pursue the matter further.
Another important reason is that he has already decided to pass the throne to Xuanyuan Zhan in the future, so Xuanyuan Yu's child will at most inherit a title, and that would only be if his principal wife has no children.
However, he thought that Xuanyuan Yu was no fool. If that child really wasn't his, then the title would certainly not be inherited by that child in the future.
So he was just an unimportant offspring, and he couldn't be bothered to care whether there was really a problem with him.
As long as there's nothing wrong with the baby in Zhan's wife's belly!
After leaving Chengqian Palace, Xuanyuan Yu turned around and went back to Jingfeng Palace.
Even the Emperor could see Su Feiling's problem, how could he not see it?
The only reason he protected Su Feiling was because Su Xuening was pregnant with Xuan Yuanzhan's child, and he desperately needed such an offspring.
Xuanyuan Yu, his face dark and menacing, headed towards Jingfeng Palace.
Xuan Yuanzhan had already carried Su Xuening into the carriage.
The two had just boarded the carriage when Bai followed closely behind.
As soon as they got into the carriage, Madam Bai looked at Su Xuening with concern and asked, "Ning'er, how are you? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"I'm fine." Seeing Bai's worry, Su Xuening quickly reassured her, "I said that on purpose just now, I'm not tired at all."
She was just sitting there while the imperial physicians checked her pulse; how could she possibly be tired?
Saying they're tired is just an excuse to leave.
Bai instantly understood Su Xuening's meaning and frowned, saying, "You deliberately let those two Su family girls go?"
Bai speculated, "Could it be that there's nothing wrong with her child?"
That's why Ning'er stopped asking the imperial physician to examine the pulses of the two Su family girls.
Before Su Xuening could answer, Madam Bai asked again in confusion, "That shouldn't be the case. If she really has nothing wrong with her, why would she kneel down to you? She could just have the imperial physician take her pulse."
Although she didn't know the two Su women well, she could tell that they weren't easy to get along with.
Compared to Su Huiyan's arguing and fiery nature, the two Su family women seem more sinister and cunning. If she really had nothing to do with it, why would she kneel down to Ning'er?
He had been so fierce and determined to drive Ning'er to the brink of despair just a moment ago, but his sudden change of attitude is just too abnormal!
"So what exactly is going on?" Bai Shi had clearly sensed that something was wrong.
Xuan Yuanzhan also looked at Su Xuening with a puzzled expression. In fact, he didn't understand why Ning'er suddenly didn't want the imperial physicians to examine the pulses of the two Su family girls anymore.
Didn't Ning'er already know that the two Su family girls had problems with their pregnancies?
He understood that Ning'er had said she didn't want to touch her for the time being, but Ning'er had been forced into this situation today. If it were him, he would simply deal with the two Su family women at the same time to avoid trouble in the future.
He guessed that Ning'er originally thought the same way, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly attacked the two women from the Su family. But for some reason, Ning'er changed her mind.
Su Xuening sighed softly and looked at Bai Shi to explain, "Actually, Su Feiling is not pregnant at all; her belly is fake."
Upon hearing Su Xuening's words, Madam Bai was instantly stunned: "She's faking a pregnancy! My God, how could she dare?"
She knew that there must be something wrong with this woman suddenly kneeling down to Ning'er!
But it turned out to be a false pregnancy!!!
These two Su family daughters are really bold. Even Su Huiyan probably didn't dare to do this back then. No matter what, Su Huiyan was really pregnant before. Although she may have switched babies later, she was really pregnant before!
After her initial shock, Bai frowned and said, "It's been six or seven months already. How did she manage to keep this a secret?"
To say that a fake pregnancy is something that can be easily concealed in the palace is not so easy. There is a royal physician who will check your pulse every month. It shouldn't be possible to hide it for so many months!
Moreover, judging from Su Huiyan's reaction today, Su Huiyan probably doesn't know that the two women in the Su family are faking their pregnancies.
After all, Su Huiyan had almost agreed to let the imperial physician examine the pulses of the two Su family daughters. If Su Huiyan had known beforehand that the two Su family daughters were faking their pregnancy, she definitely wouldn't have agreed to let the imperial physician examine their pulses!
No matter what kind of reverse psychology she tries, it won't work!
So Su Huiyan was kept in the dark too.
Su Feiling was indeed very bold. Su Xuening squinted and said, "She found a royal physician and gave her personal maid to him. After that maid became pregnant, she used the maid's belly to cooperate with the royal physician, making him lie and make false records for her. And in the future, the royal physician and the maid's child will become the emperor's grandson."
Bai was stunned again, almost clapping her hands in admiration: "The two Su women are really smart! This plan is brilliant!"
Su Xuening sneered disdainfully, "Isn't that right? This way, she'll have leverage over the imperial physician, binding him to her side. With her own physician in the palace, the fake pregnancy won't be exposed. Secondly, when she 'gives a child,' she won't need to find another child; the child will be readily available. Thirdly, using the child to bind the imperial physician and her personal maid will make them even more willing to risk their lives for her. This three-pronged approach certainly seems like something Su Feiling would come up with."
Bai was speechless with astonishment, but then angrily slammed her hand on the small table: "This woman is causing such a ruckus in the palace, and this Xuanyuan Peng doesn't even know it. He's so stupid."
"..."
Seeing Bai Shi scolding Xuan Yuanpeng like this, Su Xuening coughed lightly and whispered in his defense: "Su Feiling must have put a lot of thought into it. Besides, she is not the emperor's concubine, but Xuan Yuanyu's concubine. I guess Xuan Yuanyu and Su Huiyan were kept in the dark this time, let alone the emperor."
However, after what just happened, I wonder if the Emperor will suspect Su Feiling.
However, Su Huiyan and Xuanyuan Yu will definitely suspect Su Feiling.
Based on her understanding of Su Huiyan, even if she really knew that Su Feiling was faking her pregnancy, she would probably still help her cover it up.
Even if Xuan Yuan Yu might not be Su Hui Yan's biological son, she still has to keep it a secret for Su Fei Ling's sake.
This is not only because Su Feiling is her niece, but also because the "child" Su Feiling is carrying is also a bargaining chip for them in their competition with the Holy King's Mansion.
In exchange for this bargaining chip, Su Huiyan must also help Su Feiling keep this a secret!
Bai realized that Su Huiyan was also kept in the dark, so she wasn't angry with Xuanyuan Peng anymore.
"Ning'er, since you know everything, why don't you expose these two women from the Su family in public?"
