He looked at the bewildered imperial physician standing at the door and said bluntly, "Come here quickly!"
"Yes, yes..." The imperial physician walked towards this side with his head lowered.
I thought to myself, even if I knew this fatal thing, I wouldn’t know if I could ever get out of this fatal East Palace.
No matter how scared he was in his heart, he still looked as calm as an old dog as he took Tu Qingyu's pulse.
The deeper his frown became, the happier he felt in his heart, thinking that maybe he could get out of this alive!
Jiang Jingchuan looked at his frown and felt a tightness in his heart, "How?"
The imperial physician stood up and bowed, saying, "Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Liang Yuan. Liang Yuan is now over two months pregnant."
Jiang Jingchuan's eyes narrowed for a moment, and he raised his head in disbelief, "But are you serious?"
"She's already over two months pregnant. I'm sure I wouldn't be wrong." The imperial physician bowed and said respectfully, "If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can send a few more imperial physicians to check Liang Yuan's pulse."
"Go and spread the word!"
It's not that he didn't believe in the imperial physician's skills, but since this was his first happy event, he couldn't help but be cautious.
Now, holding Tu Qingyu, he subconsciously slowed down his movements. "Then why did Tu Liangyuan faint? She had a stomachache just now. What was the reason?"
"Liangyuan's pregnancy is indeed unstable, as if she was hit by something."
"Bumped?" He looked at Nanny Yang, who immediately said, "The master hasn't been out these past few days, and hasn't been bumped into anything. Even the food he eats is what he usually eats."
Jiang Jingchuan glanced at everyone present and finally fixed his gaze on the puppet that was pierced with silver needles.
He simply ordered, "Li Shi, go check."
Then he turned back and asked the doctor, "When will she wake up?"
"I'll go get some medicine right away. Your Highness, don't worry. Liangyuan must be pregnant and has been frightened repeatedly, so she fainted." The imperial physician bowed and said, "Take the medicine, get some sleep, and take good care of yourself. She should be fine."
Frightened again and again.
These words hit Jiang Jingchuan's heart.
It was more than two months, which means that she got pregnant not long after she was canonized, or even on the first night.
But he failed to protect her and the child. First, he made her go through the Chen Liangdi incident, and then Wei Chenghui abused the cat.
For the first time, he felt incompetent.
He forced her to stay but failed to protect her.
No wonder she was eager to leave the palace.
These were all things he could see. He simply couldn't imagine how much grievance she had endured in places he couldn't see.
At this time, Jiang Jingchuan fell into endless self-blame, and his mind was full of Tu Qingyu enduring in silence for more than two months.
The Crown Princess and the women in the harem were even more shocked.
What kind of blessing is this? It’s only been less than three months since I was favored by the emperor, and I’m already more than two months pregnant.
This makes those of them who have endured many years in the Eastern Palace look like a joke.
No one was happy before, and it could be said that the prince was not destined to have a son yet.
But now someone got pregnant as soon as she entered the palace. What is going on?
Everyone looked at Tu Qingyu's belly with jealousy and envy.
The Crown Princess subconsciously stroked her belly. Her child was almost two months old, but Tu Qingyu's was more than two months old.
This means that Tu Qingyu's child is older.
It was indeed the greatest blessing she had ever seen.
The other imperial physicians arrived soon. After taking the prince's pulse, they all congratulated him and their subsequent remarks were the same as those of the first imperial physician.
Jiang Jingchuan can finally confirm it this time.
He hugged the person, feeling both surprised and happy.
I wanted to talk to her, but when I looked down and saw Tu Qingyu's pale face, I remembered that I still had things to do.
"All of you, go out to the outer hall and kneel except for the Crown Princess."
He admitted that he wanted to vent his anger on others, and that not all of these women were out to plot against Qingyu.
Many of them were deceived and came here without knowing anything.
But so what?
In this harem, stupidity itself is a sin.
Everyone's face turned pale, realizing that they were implicated.
But looking at Jiang Jingchuan's expression, no one dared to speak a word for him.
They all followed the Crown Princess to the outer hall and knelt on the ground to apologize.
In the past, even if the Crown Prince said that the Crown Princess should apologize as well, the Crown Princess would also have to apologize.
But now that she has a baby, she can no longer kneel casually.
She sat beside him with an uneasy look on her face, quietly waiting for the prince to come out.
In the inner hall, after everyone had left, Jiang Jingchuan's expression softened.
He stood up with her in his arms, slowly walked towards the bed, put her down gently, and kissed her on the forehead again.
He squeezed her soft hand again and whispered, "Wait, your husband will vent your anger for you."
After saying that, he stood up and strode outside.
Tu Qingyu lay on the bed, his consciousness sinking into the space, watching Dabao's live broadcast in the space.
When Jiang Jingchuan went out, the women kneeling on the ground were all startled.
Everyone subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look at him, for fear that if they made eye contact with him, they would be punished with something else.
Coincidentally, Li Shi also came back at this time.
He brought some people with him and several trays behind him, one of which contained the voodoo doll from before.
"Your Highness, the fabric used to make the dolls is snow satin, a tribute from Jiangnan. I checked the records and found that this year's snow satin has not yet arrived in the palace. Only the snow satin from previous years is available. In previous years, only the Crown Princess, Chen Liangdi, Shen Liangyuan, Wei Chenghui, and Wang Chenghui had it in the entire Eastern Palace."
The so-called snow satin is not just pure white satin.
The satin is also embroidered with dark patterns using fine silver thread, which sparkles when the sun shines on it.
Chen Liangdi and Wei Chenghui were not there.
The remaining Crown Princess, Shen Liangyuan and Wang Chenghui were all very nervous.
"I have checked the usage of the snow satin in each palace. Aside from one foot being missing from Wang Chenghui's residence, I don't know where it was used. The rest is fine."
Wang Chenghui panicked immediately. She looked at Jiang Jingchuan and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, a foot of cloth is nothing. I, your highness, have made some small clothes for you."
"Yes, Your Highness, even if someone wanted to harm someone, who would use such obvious means?" Shen Liangyuan chimed in.
Lu Chenghui didn't think so. "What if it's just to confuse people? To make people think that this method is too crude and someone is trying to slander you."
Another person chimed in, "Yeah, who knows if that's what you were planning."
"Please be patient, my dears." Li Shi continued, "Then I went to compare the handwriting on the dolls one by one."
"I found that the handwriting is no different from that of Xiaowan, the first-class maid beside Shen Liangyuan." He walked to Jiang Jingchuan with the doll, "Your Highness, please take a look."
"I compared Xiaowan's handwriting with the ones she copied for Shen Liangyuan in the past, and even the habit of leaving the word '日' unsealed is exactly the same."
