Concubine Jiang, who has been the center of attention in the palace for the past month, and the royal heir who made the court and the people abandon their plans to appoint a crown prince, turned out to be a complete scam!
Emperor Qin Huan looked at Doctor Xu with a murderous look in his eyes: "Fake?"
Doctor Xu, sweating profusely, knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, although Concubine Jiang's pulse now appears very similar to that of a miscarriage, a careful diagnosis will indeed reveal that it is not a miscarriage. However, when this minister and my colleagues felt the pulse, it was absolutely certain that she was pregnant. I could be wrong, but if everyone in the Imperial Hospital came to the same conclusion, I suspect some mysterious drug may have interfered!"
The Queen Mother had now completely collapsed in Nanny Chen's arms. Concubine Jiang's pregnancy was fake, but Concubine Heng's was real! What had she done to mistake a fish eye for a pearl and nearly harm her own grandson?
Nanny Chen comforted the Queen Mother, thinking of the cup of poisoned wine. The situation was now in chaos. If she could find a chance to destroy the evidence, she might still have a chance of survival when Emperor Qin Huan came to settle accounts!
Kang Qi quietly returned to the outer hall, but Bao Qin had been guarding there and could not find any opportunity at all.
The crazy Concubine Jiang was dragged away. Originally, Emperor Qin Huan did not kill or imprison her immediately because she was pregnant. Now that he found out that the pregnancy was fake, there was no need to keep Concubine Jiang here to act recklessly.
"It's the Queen Mother's birthday. I'm sorry that I've been delayed by so many things today."
The empress dowager had no mind to celebrate her birthday. Her mind was full of the white jade lying in the inner room of the Purple Palace. When she thought about how she had actually poisoned her and almost killed both of them, the empress dowager felt extremely panicked.
"Emperor, how is Concubine Heng now? And that child..."
The Queen Mother did not dare to ask whether the child was saved, and she could not bear the result that the child was really gone.
Fortunately.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Concubine Heng is blessed with great fortune. She and my child are both safe and sound."
The Queen Mother finally felt relieved: "Blessed and blessed... Blessed and blessed... That's good, as long as nothing happens."
"You and I should go and see her," the Queen Mother asked Nanny Chen to support her. "If I can't see her, I will be very worried. As for the birthday banquet, I know you want to investigate, so just tell the servants to do it."
Today's birthday banquet is full of doubts. Emperor Qin Huan ordered Wang Chonghai to evacuate the court officials from the palace and ordered the commander of the imperial guards to assist in the investigation.
The effects of the props on Bai Yuzhi's body in the hall had also ended. She was now drinking the tonic prescribed by the imperial physician. The medicine was extremely bitter, and Bai Yuzhi drank it in small sips, her little face wrinkled.
"Drink the medicine obediently and don't make me worry."
When Emperor Qin Huan and the Queen Mother walked in, Bai Yuzhi was sticking out his tongue to try to dispel the smell of the medicine, but was gently reprimanded by Emperor Qin Huan.
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty..."
Bai Yuzhi was about to bow, but Emperor Qin Huan carried her back to the bed. The Queen Mother also hurriedly stopped her, "My dear child, don't get off the bed. Be careful of the dragon fetus in your belly."
Now he's a good kid, but before he was a jinx...
Bai Yuzhi was also convinced by this double standard, but think about it, Emperor Qin Huan and the Queen Mother had experienced so many years of hardship without an heir, and finally it turned out that Concubine Jiang was pregnant, but it turned out to be fake. When they were disheartened, the child in Bai Yuzhi's belly suddenly appeared. It was only right that these two people should let Bai Yuzhi die.
After being carefully placed on the bed, Bai Yuzhi nodded obediently: "I will definitely protect the child in my belly and let him be born white and plump."
“Okay, okay, okay!”
The Queen Mother excitedly said three numbers in a row, and Emperor Qin Huan also looked at the white jade belly with tenderness. He raised his hand to touch it again.
"Hey! Emperor, you are so careless! Don't touch Concubine Heng's belly!"
The Queen Mother stopped Emperor Qin Huan and was very disapproving of his touching behavior. Bai Yuzhi smiled and said, "Queen Mother, you don't know, when Your Majesty touched my belly just now, I could feel it getting warm. The child likes to be close to Your Majesty."
This is not a lie. This child was born from the fertility pill. Bai Yuzhi could already feel his presence a few days ago. He would be very happy when Emperor Qin Huan touched him through his belly.
"My offspring will definitely be able to withstand this amount of force."
Emperor Qin Huan said this, but he still put his hand on it very gently.
After a while of tenderness, and until the royal mother and son had calmed down, Bai Yuzhi finally spoke about business: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, just now in the hall, Concubine Jiang said that I had schemed to cause the miscarriage of her unborn dragon fetus. I have something to say."
"You don't have to say it. Concubine Jiang was not pregnant at all. How could you frame her for a miscarriage? This is because I and the Emperor were confused. It's you who has been wronged."
"What? Fake pregnancy?" Bai Yuzhi pretended to be surprised: "But, but what about the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis?"
Emperor Qin Huan's face was gloomy. "According to the imperial physician, Jiang took some medicine that can naturally change her pulse."
Logically speaking, most people and things in the harem could not escape the eyes of Emperor Qin Huan, but there was still someone who was able to bring this kind of medicine into the palace. This was definitely not something that Concubine Jiang could do alone, nor was it something that a simple concubine could do.
Only with collusion between the former and harems, and with the help of court officials, could the concubines obtain such medicine and bring it in without being discovered by anyone.
Lady Jiang was just a daughter of a ninth-rank official, and she definitely didn't have such extraordinary abilities.
Bai Yuzhi saw the unpredictable look on Emperor Qin Huan's face, knowing he must have figured it out, so she said no more. Her goal had been achieved. Rong Fei's plan had failed, and Concubine Jiang's fake pregnancy had been exposed. The public disclosure of her pregnancy had helped Emperor Qin Huan safely navigate this dark crisis. As long as she could give birth safely, Rong Fei and Yue Chengliu would have no chance of interfering with Emperor Qin Huan's kingdom.
With Emperor Qin Huan's means, as long as there is an heir to support his mental state, a hundred Rong concubines cannot defeat him. Naturally, there will be no evil collapse, chaos in the world and destruction of the world. Bai Yuzhi's first mission can be successfully completed.
I believe that Emperor Qin Huan can handle the rest of the problems himself.
White jade makes you feel at ease.
"I mean to make Concubine Heng a noble concubine now. What do you think, mother?"
The Queen Mother laughed and looked at Emperor Qin Huan. Although her son had crawled out of her belly, his character was far more cruel than hers. When Concubine Jiang faked her pregnancy, Emperor Qin Huan was clearly unaware of it, but he still planned to kill the mother and keep the child. But when it came to Concubine Heng, the situation changed again.
"I have no objection, but Emperor, why don't you ask the Empress what she thinks?"
After all, the Queen is the mother of a country and the first wife of the Emperor. According to the Queen Mother's idea, the Queen must be informed about the matter of conferring the title of the Second Grade Noble Consort.
Emperor Qin Huan chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "There's no need to ask about this. When my child is born, I really do have something to tell her."
These words were profound and the empress dowager was confused, but Bai Yuzhi understood them.
Not only her, but also the queen who had just packed up and was about to visit the pregnant concubine in the name of the queen, understood it when she stepped in.
"This palace, I have truly raised a tiger to harm myself..."
