When the Imperial Noble Consort became pregnant, the entire Imperial Hospital was on high alert due to the Emperor Shunzhi's anxieties. They were extremely concerned about the Imperial Noble Consort's pregnancy, fearing that something might happen to her.
Every day, when the imperial physician came to check her pulse, he would say that everything was fine, but Dong E Wan Ning still felt something was strange.
And a sixth sense kept telling her that there was something fishy about this pregnancy.
Because of her restless state, Dong E Wan Ning did not trust the imperial physicians in the palace.
To confirm further, she sent a message to the Dong E family, asking them to find a doctor from outside the palace so she could investigate again.
When she was two months pregnant, the matriarch of the Dong'e family, who was also Dong'e Wan Ning's biological mother, brought a female doctor disguised as a maid when she went to the palace to visit the Imperial Noble Consort.
Dong Ewan looked at the female doctor with suspicion, unable to express what she wanted to hear.
After taking her pulse for a long time, the female physician wondered to herself, "The Imperial Noble Consort is in good health, and the child is healthy too. What is she trying to find out?"
Unable to understand what she wanted to investigate, the female physician smiled gently and said, "The Imperial Noble Consort is in very good health, and the little prince in her womb is growing well. There are no problems, so please rest assured, Your Highness."
Dong E Wan Ning exchanged a glance with her mother and saw the reproach in her eyes; she was blaming herself for overthinking.
Withdrawing her hand, Dong'e Wanning still asked, unwilling to give up, "Are you serious? Is there really no problem with my child?"
Uh! The female physician really didn't understand. Were all the ladies in the palace so cautious? They were already in good health, so why were they always worrying about this and that?
But there was nothing she could do; as a lowly female doctor, she could only offer comfort to Dong E Wan Ning once again.
"Every word I have said is true, and I would never deceive Your Majesty. Please rest assured!"
"But, a doctor once said that I have a difficult constitution and it would take me four or five years to conceive. Why did I become pregnant again less than a year after giving birth to the Fourth Prince?"
"Oh, so that's the reason." The female physician suddenly realized, "So that's what the Imperial Noble Consort was wondering about."
Thinking back to the pulse reading, the female physician remained calm: "Your Majesty's pulse reading at that time should have been based on previous results. You have been in the palace for quite some time now, and the imperial physicians here are all very skilled. It is normal for them to help you recover."
With the female physician's words, Dong'e Wanning's concerns were finally dispelled, and she accepted the news of her pregnancy with peace of mind.
Because of this incident, before leaving, Lady Dong'e held her daughter's hand and earnestly instructed her for a long time not to be suspicious.
Thinking she had made a mistake, Dong E Wan Ning focused on her pregnancy and hoped to give birth to a prince smoothly.
If the Fourth Prince was so favored by the Emperor back then, and now that his older brother has died young, wouldn't he be even more favored when he is born?
Immersed in her own beautiful fantasies, Dong Ewan Ning was full of expectations for this child.
But when she was almost four months pregnant, she felt something was wrong. It wasn't like this when she was pregnant last time.
As a woman who had already given birth once, Dong Ewanning had some experience with what pregnancy was like.
Although she is now more than three months pregnant and looks like a normal pregnant woman, she feels it is not quite normal.
Feeling very uneasy, she sent another message to her mother asking her to find a doctor, but she still felt something was wrong.
Lady Dong'e felt that her daughter was being unreasonable. Hadn't they already had a check-up before and confirmed that there was no problem? Why did they need to have another check-up now?
But what could she do? She was her own daughter, so she had no choice but to obediently comply.
This time, a different female physician entered the palace. She looked different from the one last time, and the examination results were also different.
"Your Highness, you are not pregnant. You have taken a drug that can cause a false pregnancy."
Like a bolt from the blue, it struck everyone present. Lady Dong'e's expression changed drastically; she had been relaxed just moments before, but now she began to tremble.
False pregnancy is a crime of deceiving the emperor. If it is discovered, who knows if the daughter can escape punishment? If she can't, then everyone in the entire Dong'e Mansion will be punished.
Terrified by this idea, Lady Dong'e was speechless and looked to her daughter for help.
Dong Ewan was also shocked, never expecting her premonition to come true; this pregnancy really did have problems.
She quickly realized that the false pregnancy was a serious matter, and that it was probably a trap set by one of the concubines to frame her and suppress her.
At this moment, she was both shocked and extremely relieved that she had been careful and had found out about the false pregnancy in advance.
Dong Ewan Ning didn't know who was plotting against her and trying to kill her, but now that she knew about it, she wouldn't let anything happen to her.
Since it was a false pregnancy, she wouldn't be able to produce a child after ten months of pregnancy. In order to avoid being exposed, Dong'e Wanning could only pretend to have a miscarriage to get rid of the false pregnancy.
This act still needs to be performed well. This isn't the first time Dong E Wan Ning has lied to people, so she's not guilty or afraid at all.
After seeing Lady Dong'e off, she dismissed the servants in the room and pulled Biqing aside to discuss which unlucky man should be chosen to be the one who caused her miscarriage.
Several names flashed through her mind, all of whom had clashed with Consort Dong'e Wan Ning before. Among them were Consort Ning (Dong'e clan), Consort Tong (Tong clan), Empress Borjigit, and other concubines.
In the end, Dong E Wan Ning chose the Third Prince's mother, Lady Tong, to be the unlucky one.
Tong had many conflicts with her, and had tried to harm her several times before, but Dong E Wan Ning had always managed to evade them.
Now that she needed to fake a miscarriage, Dong E Wan Ning immediately thought of Tong Yu Rou and wanted her to take the blame.
At this point, some people might ask, what if Tong Yurou is the one who caused Dong Ewan Ning to fake her pregnancy? Now you're framing her instead, won't she fall for it?
Dong Ewanning had naturally considered this possibility; her plan had taken it into account. Regardless of whether Tong Yurou was the one who harmed her, she would still be framed by her.
He thought his plan was perfect and that he could use it to perfectly avoid this crisis of being framed.
Dong E Wan Ning looked at the things on the table and smiled smugly, looking down on the person who had framed her.
Hmph! So what if you schemed to harm me? You discovered me before you could even continue. Well, that's it. I won't just sit here and wait for you to make your move.
She smiled smugly, discussing the details of the plan with Biqing to ensure it would go perfectly, but she didn't notice a figure flashing past the window.
